In answer to your points, I'm not saying it isn't a rare event. What happens if your keeper gets injured then? You may not be down to 10 men, but you are not giving your best shot at winning the game, with an outfielder in goal. Surely if you have 5, or 7 subs, you are best to have a goalie there.
In response to your second point. Wouldn't you expect your team to make the best of the situation? Sounds rather like giving up to me. Put a decent keeper on and at least give yourself a chance.

So we can go back to not having to worry if Bull bring someone down as the last man, or worrying (even more) that he might get a knock. Huge mistake, in my opinion, not to have a keeper on the bench.

Tony Lama was a cobbler for soldiers stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas. After his term, he moved to the nearby town of El Paso and setup his first boot shop. He produced the best fitting, most comfortable boots around. This is when Tony Lama Boots was born. in the 1930's Tony Lama began distributing boots in Western Wear stores and by 1961, Tony Lama Boots was producing over 750 boots a day. When Tony Lama passed away in 1974, his family continued the tradition of quality and handcraftsmanship, making Tony Lama Boots a true American success story. In 1990, the company became part of the Justin Boot family and the tandem has set the standard for quality and craftsmanship worldwide.
If you have never tried on Tony Lama Boots, you are in for a treat. Each pair celebrates the humble and hardworking beginnings of the old west. With over 100 steps to producing every pair of boots, today's Tony Lama's incorporate the same craftsmanship combined with modern comfort and durability technologies.

Smith County Sheriff Candidate's Investigative Credentials Questioned
By ADAM RUSSELL
Staff Writer
Staff Writer
A 1999 murder case is at the center of debate about one Smith County sheriff candidate's investigative credentials.
After a February debate featuring the candidates for Smith County sheriff,
Troup Police Chief Pat Hendrix questioned an answer by candidate Larry Smith regarding Smith's role in the investigation into a 1999 double murder that led to the conviction and execution of Newton Anderson.
Candidates were Bobby Garmon, Chris Green, Donn Rust and Smith. Green and Smith, the top two vote-getters in the May Republican primary, face each other in the July 31 runoff. The winner becomes the next sheriff because there is no Democratic candidate.
During the debate, Smith mentioned the Newton Anderson case when answering a question from Grassroots America -- We the People moderator about the "most serious crime you have ever yourself, personally investigated."
Smith said he had "worked" between six and eight capital murder cases during his 34-year career, including the Anderson case. Anderson was executed in 2007.
Hendrix, who was with the Smith County Criminal Investigation Division in 1999 and the case's lead investigator, told Green and Rust after the debate he did not recall Smith ever being on the crime scene.
Green, a retired 20-year Texas Parks and Wildlife game warden, referenced Hendrix's comment and called Smith's role in the case into question during a later candidate debate. Garmon, a 30-year member of the sheriff's office, also called Smith's presence at the crime scene into question after Smith answered the question at the initial debate.
Hendrix made two public information requests with the Smith County District Attorney and Smith County Sheriff's Office after Green used Hendrix's comment at the event. Green has since made numerous statements claiming Smith had overstated his role in numerous East Texas cases, including the 2010 church arsons.
Hendrix's incident report details the arrival of emergency responders and crime scene investigators to the scene about 9 p.m. March 4, 1999, and throughout the early hours of the investigation. The double homicide also involved a fire investigation because the victims' home was set ablaze to cover up the crime.
The report identified Anderson as the lead suspect and located the victim's vehicle that was stolen from the scene, but does not mention Smith. Hendrix said he did not receive the requested information from the district attorney's office.
District Attorney Matt Bingham said his office was first notified by Hendrix's office about the request on June 5. Bingham's office contacted Hendrix's office on June 21 to request a $100 deposit because the case file includes thousands of documents in 15 to 20 boxes, he said.
On July 10, Bingham's office received the deposit and began working to fulfill the request within 10 days, which is required by law.
Smith, who was a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agent at the time, forwarded an investigation report to the
Tyler Morning Telegraph
showing he was at the scene 15 hours after the initial response, and that he found pertinent evidence in the case. He said his presence was requested by then-District Attorney Jack Skeen and the FBI because of his expertise in arson investigations. Bingham said Smith still is called to assist investigations.
The report indicates Smith initiated an interior and exterior examination of the home.
In the report, Smith notes an electric kitchen clock otherwise undamaged by the fire fell and stopped at 5:54 p.m. Smith said within the scope of the case the clock was important because Anderson was seen by witnesses shortly after that time.
Smith also testified in the prosecution of Anderson, according to court transcripts.
Hendrix maintains he never saw Smith at the scene and was never handed a report with information Smith gathered. He said he made the information requests to refresh his memory because the case occurred more than a decade ago and involved many investigators and agencies.
Hendrix said he made the initial statement to Green and Rust because he felt Smith was blatantly taking credit for investigative work for which he did not participate.
"He may have investigated the (1999) arson, but I didn't have that information in front of me," he said. "Should I have waited to make a comment? Probably, but I felt confident he wasn't at that crime scene after reading my report."
Green said he has never questioned Smith's presence at the Anderson scene and other cases Smith has mentioned in public. But he said Smith has "embellished his role to give the perception he solved those cases or played a much more important role than he actually did.
"Per (Hendrix's) case file, (Smith) wasn't part of the initial, the main guts, the body, of that investigation. It was already accomplished," Green said. "He just came in after the fact, mopped up, and said, 'The fire started here.'"
Determining that the crime scene was arson when it was clearly a double murder did not break the case, Green said.
Smith said the statements were politically motivated to cast doubts about his law enforcement record. He said the lead investigator's job is to collect all the evidence and ensure the district attorney has all the facts to show guilt or innocence. Smith said it was "irresponsible for (Hendrix) to not know I was on his crime scene."
He added, "I have not embellished a thing. (Green) should be talking about his record, not mine."
Green has mentioned Hendrix as a person he might approach for a position in his administration. Hendrix said his motivations were not political because Smith also approached him about possibly joining his administration, saying he would "be an asset to the team."
Smith said he talked to Hendrix about the sheriff's office but did not suggest he would consider Hendrix for hire.

(1 Question : 1 Answer)
See what people are asking, and maybe add some answers of your own.
The dimensions include 21.5" H, which I assume is the height of the headboard/footboard. What is the height of the mattress platform/base? I am trying to determine how far my toddler will be from the floor. Also, is there any type of guard rail available to match this bed? Thank you.Answers
giggle's very own Harper Toddler Bed has a mattress platform that is elevated 8.85" from the floor. Measure the thickness of the crib mattress you plan to use and add the thickness to the 8.85" for a total elevation (considering that crib mattresses are typically anywhere from 4" to 6" thick, the highest a child will be is 14.85").At this time giggle does not offer a guard rail that will fit/match this bed.

RIO GRANDE — A Welshman in search of the history of his distant ancestor recently made a stop in the Village of Rio Grande, a small town known for his Welsh heritage. It just so happens, however, that this Welshman is a legendary pop icon in his home country — a musician who has brought along a film crew as he retraces the route of his ancestor who had a small, but significant role in the history of America.
Gruff Rhys, frontman of the Welsh rock band Super Furry Animals — a multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter who is revered for his work in Wales — stopped in Rio Grande on Wednesday to take a tour of the small Ohio university town with Welsh roots.
Rhys is currently on an "investigative concert tour" that follows the route of John Evans, a young Welshman who traveled throughout North America between 1792 and 1799.
"I'm a distance relative of John Evans, so my father is obsessed with the story. I grew up with the stories since I was a kid — this larger-than-life character that came to America and had the 'wild west experience,'" Rhys commented.
Evans came to America in search of a mythical Welsh-speaking tribe of Native Americans. These Native Americans, whose existence Evans later proved to be untrue, are the mythical descendants of Prince Madog, who, according to Welsh folklore, sailed to America in 1170, over 300 years before the voyage of Christoper Columbus in 1492.
According to Rhys, John Evans landed in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1792 at the age of 22 and made is way through Pennsylvania, into Pittsburgh, down the Ohio River to Cincinnati then to St. Louis. While there, he joined an expedition up the Missouri River where the Welsh-speaking Native Americans were rumored to roam.
While on his journey, Evans navigated the passage through the native tribes and eventually entrenched himself with the possibly Welsh-descended Mandan tribe, who Evans found were not the mythical descendants of Prince Madog.
Evans true impact on history came not from his search of the descendants of Madog, but from his extensive mapping of the Missouri basin — maps later utilized by Lewis and Clark on their expedition to the Pacific Ocean.
"When Spanish-Louisiana became part of the U.S.A., his maps were passed on to President Jefferson who passed them on to Lewis and Clark and they used Evans' maps to negotiate their way through the Missouri basin," Rhys said. "So, he is kind of a footnote in American history."
Evans died in the year 1799, at the age of 29 in New Orleans, presumably of the Cholera outbreak that year or possibly due a recurrence of Malaria which he contracted while traveling along the Mississippi River.
While the Evans' legend permeated his youth, Rhys reported that the spark that ignited his interest in his distant relative did not occur until years later when he was asked to write music for a theatre group performing a play about Evans' life.
The music Rhys composed some 12 years ago was never used in the play, but he stated that his interest in Evans never died and, nearly a year ago, he contacted his booking agent in New York to set up a concert tour along the route that Evans took during his time in America.
The 10-concert "American Interior" tour began on August 2 at the Yale University Beinecke Library — where Evans' original maps are kept — and will continue through August 22, where the last concert will be played in New Orleans, Louisiana — Evans' resting place.
Along the way, a film crew is following Rhys who is documenting his discoveries about the true John Evans, his role in American history and the continued existence of the Welsh culture in the United States.
"In small cultures have to romanticize their stories and existence, so, this tour is trying to verify what is real history and what is myth," Rhys said.
Rhys and the documentary film crew came to Rio Grande while en route to Cincinnati for a concert on Thursday night.
This visit was not coincidental as Rhys has a direct connection to the village where his friend and fellow Welshman Haydn Jones, who also has a passion for the history of Evans, attend college.
According to Rhys, he has heard about the small village in Ohio for many years, but was not prepared for what he found in the Village of Rio Grande.
"It's incredible. I've heard of Rio Grande through Haydn over the years, but I didn't have really a concept of it. I didn't expect to see a town in Ohio with red dragons draped everywhere. It's completely incredible and unbelievable and more people should know about it," he said.
Taking the rock star on a tour of the village was Rio Grande Village Mayor Matt Easter.
Easter, a music fan himself and lover of Welsh history, was thrilled by the interest Rhys and the film crew took of his small town.
"This is going to do nothing but promote the Welsh culture that existed and still exists," Easter said."It's an honor to be a part of it. It's honor to have my town be a part of it and just a fantastic thing for not only Rio Grande, but for Gallia County."
Easter further encouraged individuals interested in Wales and the impact it had on the United States to follow Rhys' progress on the documentary.
The film, which is not Rhys first documentary about his search for his family's roots (his first film, "Separado!" premiered in 2010), may not be released for some time, but is expected to be shown at the South by Southwest film and music festivals and conferences that are held every spring in Austin, Texas.

Scientists need to see results from a chemical analysis of the sample to understand it better, but one theory is that this rock could have once been underwater, Hurowitz said.
The successful usage of the drill marks the final check-out of Curiosity's elaborate suite of instruments.
Back on Earth, however, scientists have encountered a potential problem in one of two terrestrial copies of the CHIMRA instrument, which NASA's Daniel Limonadi describes as a "martini mixer on the spacecraft."
CHIMRA has a sieve that filters out material that is bigger than 150 micrometers, because the CheMin instrument needs tiny particles for its X-ray diffraction work. One of the Earth-based units, the "edge welds are popping and slowly unziping the sieve from the primary structure in CHIMRA over time," Limonadi said.
The same problem has not been observed on its Martian counterpart, or in the second copy of CHIMRA.
Scientists have several theories about why this is happening, but there's no established root cause, Limonadi said. However, it's important to note that this copy of CHIMRA has been used more than Curiosity's CHIMRA unit will be used during its two-year prime mission.
Rover planners are taking precautions just in case the CHIMRA sieve on Mars is vulnerable. For example, they've reduced the sieving time of material in this instrument to expose it to less wear and tear, Limonadi said.
Sieving is the next step for the gray powder recovered from the drill. It will then be fed to the CheMin and SAM instruments to gain more insights about the geological history and potential habitability of Mars, Hurowitz said.
Previous analyses by Curiosity instruments determined that white veins seen in this kind of rock are made of calcium sulfate. The rover will soon use its chemistry experiments to see the full composition of the gray stuff found by the drill.
"Stay tuned, results are coming shortly," Hurowitz said.

I have been following the comments on the stainless steel finish post since I am in a quandary as to which finish to use next. My refrigerator is getting old & I would like to be prepared for replacing it before the time comes. I have no clue about where brands stand when it comes to reliability. What is your opinion? Thanks!! Summers are just this side of hell, but you don't have to shovel sunshine... Click on the left to show albums http://s76.photobucket.com/use...brary/?sort=3&page=1 | |||
Well my favorite brand is Maytag. Hands down. Washer 45 years old, dryer 41 years old. DW 30 (?) years old. However since they are so old, I don't know if the new ones are as reliable as the old. | ||||
We recently purchased 5 new appliances for our kitchen (fridge, dishwasher, cooktop, built-in microwave, and wall oven). When first researching brands, I was so disappointed to learn that no brand has a clean reputation. In fact, there are vehement complaints on numerous websites about EVERY brand in every price range...parts falling off, leaks that ruined floors, exploding glass doors, electrical shorts starting housefires, crappy customer service, you name it. Based on the reviews we read, we wished we didn't have to buy any appliances -- it just felt like we were going to buy a headache no matter what brand we went with. However, our existing appliances were beyond broken, so we had to make a purchase. We finally arrived at the appliances we purchased based on: a) the sizes fit in our cut-out/space; b) the appearance, price, and functionality met MOST of our requirements; and c) the complaints seemed less severe for this brand than complaints for other brands. We ended up going with all GE Profile products. The appliances were installed in April and all is well so far. Our front-load washer/dryer are by LG -- five years, no problems. | ||||
My oldest (refrigerator, 21 yrs.), newest (washer, 1.5 yrs), and in-between (dishwasher, 6 yrs.) appliances are all GE. Microwave (14 yrs.), too. I'm a fan. I think they've been and continue to be reliable, well-designed, and reasonably priced. It's the first brand I'll check out if I need to buy again. I always look at others in order to compare, but I almost always end up with GE.This message has been edited. Last edited by: nettiejay, | ||||
No favorite brand, tend to look at all for features, price, warranty, and most important reputation with a local appliance repair guy. He has usually given us info on things to be aware of (it changes year to year as new models come out). Interestingly different from the other posters, I nearly always avoid GE. Probably because it was often used for builders grade appliances back 10-20 years ago (read cheap models?), and friends had them with issues soon after warranty ran out. I think the middle of the road as far as model features is the safest place to be. Don't go for the bare bones nor for the top of the line appliance that has every possible feature one could imagine, for the least amount of repair issues? | ||||
We recently bought a washer....Whirlpool...made in the USA. It is far superior to the old one not made in the USA. We got a Whirlpool dishwasher and it does a really good job since I changed to the gelpack detrgent. Our refrigerator, stove and mirowave are GE Profiles....also good. The refrigerator had to have the ice maker repaired while it was still in warranty but otherewise all are fine. love life | ||||
Love Kenmore (Sears brand, built by Whirlpool) generally for most appliances, especially refrigerators and washers & dryers. But, when we remodeled our kitchen in 2007, ago, we wound up buying Bosch for the dishwasher (love their stainless steel tub and quiet operation)and for the gas cooktop. And, a GE double wall oven unit with microwave. All work great. Many years ago, in a small condo, I had a small but mighty Miele brand washer/dryer all-in one unit installed by the previous owner. It was all stainless steel inside and a real powerhouse. Miele brand, which is made in Germany, is known for its compact versions of large appliances. They are expensive but also last forever. | ||||
I'm with aychihuahua, Sears Kenmore brand. We had a Kenmore washer and dryer set we bought when we got married. We had them both for 20 years when we decided to get new. They were still working great when we sold them. Also had a Kenmore fridge that lasted 22 years. I always try to stick with Kenmore. We also had a Kenmore microwave that lasted for 23 years and was still working when we moved.This message has been edited. Last edited by: GypsyDancer52, | ||||
Buy the store warranty. I read that not too many months ago. See above--as to problems with most brands. Be aware most are still made out of country. LG--South Korea GE--back in the US. Bosch--German Amana--no longer made but China Frigidaire washer/dryer. I like Bosch dishwasher. Do the research. Buy features, warranty. Dutch door top with freezer drawer on bottom--highly recommended. Side by side---no way--all that cold air pouring out? We bought all new appliances six years ago. I/We spent over a year on-line or in stores that sold appliances--we learned a lot. I asked questions here--great info on front loads, at the time. Finish? I think stainless is on the way out. Think resale. | ||||
Thank you!! Please add new comments as they occur to you... Like LOS said, who knows, when replacing something which lasted 20 years, if the same brand is still reliable today - as with Singer sewing machines... No offense to Singer owners!This message has been edited. Last edited by: KG in CA, Summers are just this side of hell, but you don't have to shovel sunshine...

Year after year--_CONSUMERS REPORTS who do not accept advertising and test products in every way anyone would ever use them--- Say KENMORE (Sears) is top rated and right up there with all the more expensive Name brands. I have all Kenmore except my dryer (15 yrs old) is a Whirlpool Gold (service man said keep it as long as possible). But nothing I own (everything is over 10 yrs old)---ever has needed a repairperson! Consumer's Reports is a great source with no prejudging by brand favorites. | ||||
Here's an interesting link for your review. It shows which company makes the appliance versus the company that brands it. http://www.appliance411.com/parts/sears.shtml | ||||
As already said, I'm not loyal to one brand, I look at each feature and what I want for each appliance. | ||||
Conrad, GE makes appliances in at least two, perhaps three, price categories. There is a "low end" line which might be the builder's grade you mentioned, the Profile line, and (I think) a fancy-dancy all the bells/whistles line. I buy Profile and am always pleased. I've written here before that I was always Whirlpool loyal when it came to laundry machines and dishwashers. After wearing out two of their dishwashers, I bought a third. It didn't work straight out of the box and was so poorly designed that dishes wouldn't even stand up in the racks because the prongs were too short. After three service calls in the first month, they wanted to replace the computer motherboard. I refused, said I wanted my money back. That's when I exchanged it for the Profile I mentioned above. Am so glad I squawked and got rid of that horrid lemon of a machine. The problem with Consumer Reports as I see it is... They test one-maybe-three models in a company's entire product lineup. Model X gets a gold star; model Y and Z are complete duds. CR finds results like that all the time. How is it a valid conclusion to say ALL of Acme Co's products are gold stars, just because CR found one that is? Is the gold star the fluke, or are the duds? Another problem is that, that very same gold star model X has a very good chance of being discontinued and unavailable at the time you need a replacement for your broken whatchamathingy. CR's test and gold star award for that one model is absolutely no guarantee that the "new" replacement for model X is going to be as reliable as the tested model X. | ||||
Yep, I know what you are saying about GE nettiejay, DD has top of the line model range and microwave. Just one really old pre-judge that I still seem to have. And I do agree that Consumer Reports was never that helpful with large or small appliances in my book either. The testing is complete about the same time that new models have come out...and there are so many different ones they never seemed to test the ones that are available at the time that I was looking. Frustrating and time wasting for me. | ||||
GE, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Sub Zero, Thermador | ||||
I like my Electrolux dryer and refrigerator. Wolf makes great double ovens and cooktops. I have an Asko dishwasher. I bought my appliances depending on sizes and features that I wanted. I stopped buying Kitchenaid when they were bought out by another concern. Last dishwasher was the top of the line and had major problems. I had a lot of problems with a Whirlpool washer and when it finally dies, I will replace it with an Electrolux washer. | ||||
When it comes to replacing major appliances, your trusted plumber or electrician (if you're lucky to have a trusted plumber as we are) may be your best unbiased referal person. I have also asked re. what brand of faucet to install when doing a semi kitchen remodel. Consumer Reports has failed me in the past. Retailers and advertisers are out to sell you the most expensive when lesser costing appliances can be more cost effective and just as reliable. Judge too if you truly need the extra bells and whistles you're paying for. Also, some european brands may be difficult to get repaired (ex. inexcessibility to areas, shortage of authorized repairpersons, long time wait for parts, etc.) and thus prove very costly. When it comes to built in appliance replacements, I almost always buy the extended warranty. Service calls can add up quickly even for the easiest of repairs. We homeowners should do as much troubleshooting as possible and make inquires if manuals (on line or in print) don't cover our dilemmas to save a service fee. Sometimes it's a matter of readjusting feet on a washer that makes the spin cycle balanced. Mind you, I'm not suggesting you tackle an electrician's job or a plumber's job if it's out of the realm of your expertise, invalidates the warranty or endangers you. LOS & others, the trusted brands we once were loyal to and served us well are most likely inferior products that have long tarnished their predicessor's reputation for reliability/longevity...sad to say. Some companies have merged and many are no longer manufactured here.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Froo Froo, | ||||
Boy is THAT ever a true statement! I once moved into a house that had a 50 year old Frigidare stove with those big fat electric coil burners. That stove was great. Now, I would NOT except a Frigidare if someone gave me a new one for free.This message has been edited. Last edited by: zone9alady, | ||||
z9lady, Sounds like you have the same feeling about Frigidaire that I have had about GE appliances. We bought a SS Frigidaire electric smooth top range and SS Frigidaire refrigerator and a Frigidaire smaller chest freezer a few years ago. (Planning on selling in near future and did not really care except for price and SS look for possible buyers) So far they have all been excellent performers. (The ss looks great when clean, but ss will never be my choice again, however) | ||||
Conrad, I have found that SS varies tremendously by price and manufacturer. The Wolf and Electrolux appliances that I have bought have a SS finish that is easier to keep clean and fingerprints don't show as easily as they do on some older SS appliances. I also use a water based spray that the Wolf installer gave me that is tremendous. Some of the less expensive brands have SS that is not so easy to clean. | ||||
You are no doubt right, 16 paws. I just personally feel the gray of stainless not that attractive with many natural wood finishes. That said....(again, personal preference) I still prefer a stainless kitchen sink over other types, but that is a small concession to the gray metal. I am just pleased there are many other choices. We have white that came in our mountain home, and find it easy to deal with and REALLY easy to match when replacement time comes. | ||||
I've had good luck with Kenmore- the fridge has been great- have had it 2.6 years..a bottom freezer model. You can up the reliability factor by leaving off ice makers. I also have a Kenmore induction cooktop that's probably 7 years old by now.. no problems. I have a frigidaire front load washer-dryer set that's a year old this Thanksgiving - love it. I would not buy a refrigerator by frigidaire tho.. I had one and it was cheaply made. | ||||

Tour of the Relics of the Passion (International Center for Holy Relics) www.HolyRelics.org
"Jesus' Baptism" Why did Jesus, the sinless one sent from the Father in heaven, submit himself to John's baptism? John preached a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins (Luke 3:3). In this humble submission we see a foreshadowing of the "baptism" of Jesus bloody death upon the cross. Jesus' baptism is the acceptance and the beginning of his mission as God's suffering Servant (Isaiah 52:13-15; 53:1-12). He allowed himself to be numbered among sinners. Jesus submitted himself entirely to his Father's will. Out of love he consented to this baptism of death for the remission of our sins. Do you know the joy of trust and submission to God?

"Dreams are the eyes of our mind." - Genevieve Bouris
Dear Lauri: I have a reoccurring dream that I am trying to drive down the road but everything is so blurry. I cannot focus on anything. What does this mean? - Lauren 25
Lauri: This dream comes to you whenever you are not "focusing" enough on a particular issue in your life. Since you are always driving in these dreams, my guess is that it is your career path. Something is hindering your "drive" and motivation. These dreams are a constant reminder you are offering yourself that you need to give this the proper attention and focus it deserves so you can go as far as this road will take you.
Laurn replies: That interpretation makes great sense! I am going through a divorce. My soon to be ex finally admitted he was an alcoholic. Having to deal with his problem daily has kept me from focusing on a career I love. I finally realize that I do not need him to hold me back, or try to hurt things that I have worked so hard for.
FASCINATING DREAM FACT: The hammer, anvil and stirrup, the tiny bones in the inner ear, vibrate during REM sleep. This is believed to contribute to the ringing, buzzing, whispering or crashing sound that is sometimes heard upon waking.

If recent numbers are any indication, county residents want to help reduce the unwanted pet population, but money could be a problem.
According to Jane Taylor, director of Mayberry4Paws, a recent spay and neuter event drew more people than expected, and a little belt-tightening allowed them to far exceed their goal.
"This project began in October, and the schedule filled up very quickly," she said. "The clinic was ultimately able to complete 58 surgeries by the end of December as part of this program.
"Our goal was to do 40 surgeries, but the clinic managed to stretch the funds a bit so we were able to serve additional pet owners."
The project was funded through a $5,000 grant from the Ryan Newman Foundation.
Founded by NASCAR driver Ryan Newman, the mission of the foundation is to educate and encourage people to spay/neuter their pets, to adopt dogs and cats from animal shelters and to educate children and adults about the importance of conservation.
Taylor said the initial project focused on just one area of the county where there were a lot of unwanted dogs that often ended up in the Surry County Animal Shelter.
But interest, and budget stretching, allowed them to expand the offer of free spaying/neutering.
"The animals that ended up getting the surgeries were from all around the county," she said. "We started our focus on one particular area, but due to the extra funds available we were able to go beyond that area."
Taylor said it only makes since to have pets spayed or neutered.
"The goal of Mayberry4Paws is to reduce the number of pets going into the local shelter," she said. "If we reduce the number going in, we'll reduce the number being killed. That's why we formed our organization and that continues to be our mission."
Last year, the group managed to pay for more than 400 surgeries to reduce the number of stray animals in the county.
Shelly Nunn, with the Ryan Newman Foundation, said Surry County is special to her.
"My husband and a few friends are from Mount Airy, so we have a soft spot for the area," she said. "Just over Christmas, a friend of our who works at Penske Racing adopted an 11-week-old pup in Surry County, and I couldn't have been happier."
Nunn said the high kill rates at the local shelter is "alarming," leading the foundation to offer the grant.
"We need to help as much as we can to not only stop the over-breeding and the area of unaltered pets, but to give those that are in the shelter looking for homes a better chance of finding one," she said.
According to Nunn, the foundation has a great working relationship with Mayberry4Paws.
"In 2012, we awarded Surry County three grants and also donated a surgical light to Dr. Russ at the Surry Spay and Neuter Clinic," she said. "Jane Taylor contacted us for the grant, and we have had a great working relationship with her group ever since, and the work she and her group does is wonderful.
"Things won't change over night, and honestly, they won't change all that much in our lifetime, but at least we are doing all we can to change the mindset of the future generations who think of animals as something they can just throw away," Nunn added.

Editor's Note: This story is the continuation of a series covering Perry County's drug court program.
ASH CAMP, Ky. — It was December, not quite Christmas, when Scott Thompson found himself in an all-too-familiar position.
He had just been involved in a hit-and-run incident in Hazard. Fortunately, no one was injured, but he was using again, and after 30 months of participating in the drug court program in Perry County, he realized his time as a client was over. He was resigned to leave the program and serve in jail whatever sentence he would receive.
Then, in a complete turn about and after a few days of working with officials with Probation and Parole, he was given another chance to again seek treatment and attempt to restart the drug court program anew. But that also meant that he would remain in jail, away from his family, until he could be enrolled in an in-patient treatment program.
Scott had been in jail for around two months the last time he spoke with the Herald, awaiting the day he would leave Hazard for Ash Camp, Ky. and begin a rigorous and tightly-controlled program at a drug treatment facility called WestCare. Now, as he is closer to his third decade in age than his second, he is determined to make the most of what he termed a last chance and kick the dangerous habit he has fought but maintained since he was a teenager.
Nearly eight weeks after the incident in Hazard, Scott noted that with every clean day he could feel himself getting stronger and his mind becoming clearer. He is currently around four months free of drugs, the last two of which were in treatment in Pike County. Scott said he is feeling the benefits of the struggle to break his addiction.
"I am on top of my game down here," he said during an interview from inside WestCare earlier this month.
Scott is no stranger to drug treatment, noting that he has attempted treatment 10 times before, and this is actually the second time he has gone to WestCare. He said that many of the places he has gone are different, and might center on sitting on couches drinking coffee and talking about your feelings.
WestCare is a completely different approach to rehabilitation than these types of centers, and it's one that he said he needs and believes in.
"Here, they put the baby powders up," he noted. "They don't baby you around here."
WestCare is incredibly structured with each person in the center having a job to do. They are split up into six sides based on personality so that each person will be surrounded with people most like them. These sides then have chores, primarily cleaning, and various sessions with counselors and groups. In total there are 90 men at WestCare at any given time.
The residents' days are planned down to every minute, even free time. These times allow the residents to do personal chores such as bathing and folding clothes. Each resident only gets to make two phone calls per week, and only one family visit.
The residents are put in a class to teach them about addiction, and then they must eventually run classes on their own to help them get comfortable talking in front of groups and to prove their familiarity with the 12 steps of overcoming their addiction. Scott said that he truly believes in this type of system since it is the only type that has been even remotely successful for him.
"I did have some success when I left here, so there is something about this place," he said.
After having 10 months clean following his last stay at WestCare, however, he fell back into an old routine.
"I was out one day and I had no business driving around in Hazard. I had no place to be and I ran into a guy and I got high. In just a split second," he remembered. "Then you start crossing those imaginary lines, progressing in your addiction."
His relapse led him to eventually spend a few days in jail before returning home. After only a few weeks home he was arrested again. Since then he has been under some sort of supervision 100 percent of the time. He has since gotten healthy, gained weight, and said he has even mended some of his relationships that have been strained by his addiction.
He has also begun to make plans for the future, and while he is still taking it day-by-day, he remains hopeful and confident that he can overcome his struggle. He is even thinking about going back to school so that he may one day help people like himself.
"I know I can do it, be a drug and alcohol counselor maybe," he said. "Karen (Holland, with the drug court program) and them will tell you that I know more about it then they do, but I have never put it into action."
Holland remarked during a recent interview that Scott does well in treatment, and agreed that he is one of the most knowledgeable people about addiction.
"Scott does do well in structure," she said during an interview last week. "I talked with him yesterday and he is counting his days down to when he gets to come home. He knows it, but applying it, it goes back to people, places and things."
Since he has done so well in treatment, he has been given several large responsibilities inside WestCare. He runs sessions, and acts as the man that tests how accountable people are for their actions. He has also been giving tours of the facility to medical students, family members and the public.
He will be at WestCare for around four more months. Following his stay there, he will completely start over in the drug court program. If everything goes according to plan, he will still have two and a half more years before he is completely out of the criminal justice system. He noted that while he does well in structure, he is excited to go back to having a normal and sober life.
But even so, he knows all too well that his progression can be reversed in a matter of seconds, and that's something with which he will continue to struggle.
Service projects have multiple benefits, Judge says
Since its creation less than a decade ago, the Perry County Drug Court program has included a heavy emphasis on community service, and that was never more evident than earlier this month as several participants were hard at work cleaning up several areas in Hazard.
While most drug court programs do include a community service component, it is not mandated or set up by the national or state drug court associations. Circuit Judge Bill Engle noted that for the Perry County Drug Court, completing service projects has multiple benefits for clients and the community.
"If you can help somebody kick their addiction problem, it's not just a simple matter of them not using drugs anymore, it is getting them into a culture where you understand that you have to work, that they understand the need for an education, and the importance of giving to the community," Judge Engle said.
For many of the drug court clients, they have not held a regular job or schedule, and one of the most important life lessons for them in transitioning from being an addict to a productive member of society is learning how to live within structure. While all drug court participants have to either be working at least 30 hours a week, or enrolled in school full time, for those participants that are not in school or have a job they are required to perform community service.
Participants are expected to undertake 30 hours of community service each week, which Karen Holland explained can be a great transition into the workforce.
"Like you would like any normal job, you get up, you get ready, you go to work," she noted.
Prior to being placed in drug court, many of the clients have held jobs, gone to school, and been professionals, however many of the clients have never had any real responsibilities and drug court can be a difficult program at first. In addition to public service, participants must undergo drug testing, counseling and a myriad of other requirement aimed at a common goal of keeping them off drugs.
"One of the most difficult transitions for people coming into drug court is going from a completely unstructured life to having all of these obligations," Judge Engle explained.
Even those who have work and education requirements must perform mandatory community service projects like the PRIDE clean-up at Buckhorn Lake each spring. For those clients that are having to perform mandatory community service, it can be a struggle to find community service opportunities, but they do often help out across the county.
Every year drug court is involved in the March of Dimes, Repair Affair, both the PRIDE weekend and the PRIDE lake clean-up. They also help set up for plays at the Hal Rogers Forum, the Vicco Fourth of July celebration, and the Black Gold Festival. They have recently spent four days helping the Hazard Housing Authority clean the areas around various housing projects.
Often the clients will also do work in the courthouse cleaning and doing filing, but Judge Engle said that they look to do more meaningful service work since that is what will hopefully affect change and understanding between both the clients and the community.
"Just from being an addict they take so much from the community," noted Holland. "They are careless you know, they don't think. Driving down the road, out goes the pop can. Then they have to go back and they pick that up they will think, once they are straight and living a productive life, about that pop can that goes out that window."
Community service, Judge Engle added, helps many of the clients to see the physical repercussions of some of their thoughtless actions.
"All of us here get benefits of living in the community," he said, "but we have obligations, too."
