Motorists driving down Hwy. 42 south of Forsyth may have noticed the new slaughter-
house under construction near the intersection with Maynards Mill Road. But that may not
be the most interesting thing on the property of Joseph Egloff of Rocking Chair Ranch. No,
that title might go to "Moses", a giant, white 5-year-old registered Brahman bull that Eg-

'loft bought about two years
ago from Joe Ezzard of
Monticello. "He is a sweet-
heart and a pleasure to be
around," said Egloff. Egloff
said the Brahman breed are
popular in hotter areas of
the southeast and southwest
because the bulls are very
heat tolerant and 'drought
resistant. "Their large fie ppy
ears act as radiators to help
them cool," said Egloff. "They
will sweat where other
cattle pant." Egloff said the
breed produces a leaner
beef than most European
breeds. He said his grand-
daddy and daddy raised
Brahmans where he grew up
in south Louisiana.

Technology Director
Valerie Mercer said that
soon Mary Persons will no
longer be a "No Service"
zone. She told the board
the school system will ac-
cept a bid from Southern
Electricom Company of
LizeUa to upgrade tech-
nology at Mary Persons.
Mercer said the com-
pany will pull existing
infrastructure out of the
ceiling at Mary Persons
over Thanksgiving and
Christmas breaks. She said
the work is being done as
part of remodeling certain
halls at Mary Persons.
She did not announce the
amount of the winning
bid.
Mercer said most of the
existing technology infxa-
structure at Mary Persons
has been in place since the
building was built in 1984.
She said there were four
bidders on the project but
only two met the school
system's specifications for
the job.
"We will lease fiber
through Forsyth Ca-
bleNet," said Mercer. "In
the future all devices
should work in Mary Per-
sons:'

Matt Walker's MotoX Compound in Culloden is widely considered the largest and
winningest motocross training facility in the country after a big week for its racers
at the Loretta Lynch MX, the Amateur National Championships, on July 29-Aug. 3 in
Hurricane Mills, Tenn. Walker's racers won four national championships, and 38 racers
reached the podium with 11 first place, five second place and 11 third place finishes,
along with 11 holeshot awards. The winners from Culloden combined for more than
an hour of podium interviews on RacerTV. Above, one of the winners was Tyler Foster
of Culloden, who was the 450 C Champion, never trailing the race. His family moved
to Monroe County three years ago so Foster could train with Walker. From left are
Justin Boyd, MotoX's strength and cardio trainer, motocross
trainer Timmy Badour, Foster and Matt Walker. Foster dedi-
cated the race to his late grandmother, who passed away
two months earlier while he was qualifying for the race.
On our 2oth Wedding nniversary
Quiet my love and let the world race on,
Let it rage. What is it to us when we
Can throw aside the linens and fig leaves
And get to the business of being one?
Quiet my love and let the world rage on
For in the quiet of our little room
Where darkness looms larger than the night
Where secrets are cast in a kinder light
Our intentions are caught in full bloom
Here in the quiet of our little room
Here we are quite safe in the life we've made
Alone with the truth behind love's blind eyes
Confident the proof, that is, us, survives
To claim yet another of love's debts paid
Here we are quite safe in the life we've made
Now be quiet my love or they will hear
And wake to wonder at this commotion
Those sleepy 'lil stars we set in motion
When more than twice I whispered in your ear
Now be quiet my love and just be still
