Founding pastor leaves a legacyPublished 6:29pm Monday, August 18, 2014
After a lifetime spreading the word of Christ, Joy Baptist founder Ken Scott has died.
Ken died Saturday at the age of 82. Funeral services for Ken will be at Joy Baptist Temple Thursday at 11 a.m. with Rev. Mike Beard and Kenny Hatcher officiating.
Joy Scott, Ken's wife of 62 years, said Ken was a lovely person dedicated to Christ, his family, and his passion for model airplanes and racecars.
"He called me in there the other day and told me, 'Joy, I just want to tell how good of a wife you've been,'" Joy said with a shaky voice as tears rolled down her face. "That is just the type of person he was. He always thought about the other person."
Ken founded Joy Baptist Temple in 1975 and served as pastor until he retired in 2010, Joy said. She said Ken's ministry went far beyond the pulpit.
"He felt like it was a calling," Joy said. "He felt he had to witness to everybody he came in contact with, because you might be the chosen one."
WDXX on-air personality George Henry recalled the 30 plus years Ken would stop by the station to record ministry material for Ken's radio program. During that time, Ken and Henry developed a close friendship.
"He had an amazing impact on quite a number of people, and I don't think he realized how deep of an impact that he had," Henry said.
Ken co-owned B and S Auto Parts, where he repaired and built racecars, until it was sold in the 1970s.
He also owned the Grace Lane Hobby Shop, where he sold model airplanes.
Survivors include wife Betty Joy Scott, daughter-in-law Wanda Scott, granddaughters Ashley Scott and Michelle Smith, grandson Clay Ross and seven great-grandchildren.
Thursday's burial will be at New Live Oak Cemetery. Visitation will be Wednesday at Selma Funeral Home from 5-7 p.m.

Heyworth Approves Taylor as Principal
By J. Thomas McNamara
Decatur School District Superintendent Lisa M. Taylor will be the new principal of Heyworth high school after that district's school board approved her at their Wednesday night meeting.
In an interview with the Decatur Tribune following her approval as Heyworth's high school principal, Taylor said, "I have worked in Decatur for 14 years as a teacher through superintendent of schools.
"It has been a privilege to work in Decatur and an opportunity for my personal and professional growth," said Taylor about her experiences in District 61.
"The staff, parents and community support has been very humbling and rewarding."
About her new position, Taylor said, "I am honored to have the privilege of joining the leadership team in Heyworth next year. I am excited about the opportunity to work directly with teachers and students at the building level.
"I am impressed by their commitment to student success and am looking forward to becoming a member of the Heyworth community," said Taylor.

Watch Where You Step
Doggie, Human 'Business' Creates Problem In Central Park
With the warmer weather coming on if you plan on taking a leisurely walk through Central Park be sure and stay on the sidewalks.
Park watchers and others connected to the area have been asking me to write something about the influx of dog and human "business" that is increasing with the warmer weather.
I know this is a delicate subject but some of the downtown apartment dwellers have dogs and they take them to the park to poop and never clean up after them -- at least when they think no one is looking.
The result is that people are stepping in it as they walk through the park and it is even around the picnic tables where downtown workers and others come to eat their lunch, or where families hold gatherings.
I realize that a dog has to do what a dog does, and that's understandable, but dog owners have a responsibility to clean up after them.
In fairness, I am told that a few of the people who bring their dogs to the park, are conscientious and always clean up after their dogs.
No one wants to come to the park and get that on their shoes or clothes.
I read an AP item just the other day that, the problem is so bad in Madrid that Mayor Manuela Carmena is warning dog owners they'll face stiff fines or possibly weekend work as street cleaners if they are caught in an upcoming "dog poop crackdown."
I doubt that kind of drastic action will be taken by the Decatur City Council, but if there is an ordinance against littering, wouldn't this be a form of "littering"?
Maybe there is an ordinance that is not enforced.
Another problem is that warm weather is also bringing out homeless people who use the park as their home with actions similar to how some dogs are using it.
Obviously, all that is "left behind" is not from the dogs.
I'm hearing complaints that homeless people are sitting around the outside of the Transfer House, drinking beer (where do homeless people get the money to buy beer?) getting sick and vomiting, plus urinating on the outside of the structure.
This does not conjure up a beautiful picture or experience for visitors to our city.
There is no need for homeless people to live in the park. Decatur has plenty of places the homeless can go to get assistance and even help them get back on their feet -- if they want to get back on their feet.
I'm not looking down on the plight of homeless people in our community, but "homelessness" should not be an excuse to do what you want to do on public property.
Hopefully, there can be a closer look taken at what's happening in the park before the band concerts start on Monday evenings and the Decatur Celebration rolls around.
We certainly want everyone to enjoy the park, but we want to make sure that what they take home from their experience in Central Park is not on their shoes or clothes.
Fired Police Chief Re-Files Lawsuit Against City Of Decatur
Former Decatur Police Chief Brad Sweeney re-filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against the City of Decatur on Friday.
This time, City Manager Tim Gleason is not being sued.
The original lawsuit had been dismissed 10 days earlier by Judge A.G. Webber IV, who advised Sweeney to drop Gleason's name if he wanted to re-file.
There's not much difference in the new lawsuit filed Friday except it is only against the City of Decatur and a document is included from the Illinois Department of Employment Security which relates to why Sweeney was fired.
The City of Decatur's attorneys have 14 days from last Friday to file their response to Sweeney's revised lawsuit.
It seems to me, the longer this case plays out in public view, the greater the negative publicity for the city manager and the City of Decatur.
Supt. Taylor Pushed Out, Accepts New Job With Heyworth School District
Last week, the Heyworth School District hired Decatur Public School Supt. Lisa Taylor as its new Junior/Senior High School Principal. Taylor's resignation is effective July 29, 2016.
Good for her.
Although the Decatur Board of Education never took an official vote on whether to extend her contract (despite what some members of the media used in their reports) the indication was that, unofficially, there would be a 4-3 vote to get rid of her, but that decision and formal vote were delayed -- probably with the hope that Taylor would take the hint and look for another job.
In all of my decades of being publisher of this newspaper, I have never witnessed the kind of support that Supt. Taylor had for the job she was doing for the school district.
That support came from across the community -- from teachers, business leaders, students, parents, teachers' union and everybody else who worked with her. There is a lot of anger out there about what 4 members of the board did (or didn't do) to push her out of the job.
In a news release from the school board, President Sherri Perkins, who was going to vote against extending her contract, stated: "The Board is appreciative of Supt. Taylor's contributions in her role as the district's leader for the last two years. She has been a tireless advocate for education and for student success and we wish her the best in her future endeavors."
Perkins, who is one of the four who "unofficially" did not want to keep Taylor, probably is relieved that the "official vote" never had to be taken.
Taylor, in an interview with our Sports Editor J. Thomas McNamara is leaving the district with a lot of class and so many in the community will miss her.
The Decatur School Board lost a lot of credibility with the community over how the Taylor controversy was handled -- and that is not going to be easy to rebuild.
The next school board election should be interesting.
Best wishes to Lisa. She will definitely be missed in Decatur.

This book establishes an equally compelling non-religious foundation for the idea of human rights, engaging with the writings of many key thinkers in the field, including Michael J.

What are some of the more successful case studies of commercial district revitalization? (BIDs [business improvement district], SSAs [special service area], commercial corridors, commercial districts, small business programs)
I'm researching case studies to serve as a model for an SSA in Chicago. Any case studies in Chicago and other major metropolitan areas around the country would be beneficial. I'm looking for a general overview of projects that have already been completed/are close to completion; I'm specifically interested in the objectives and results, financing strategies, legal issues, and other challenges.
Any help/direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

to some extent, you are correct. not exactly a cliff. but, both automatic changes coming up are net negatives for the economy as a whole. the funny part is: all it would take is a F--- it from the pols to give some certainty to the future. with certainty, things adjust.
if they don't do a deal of some kind by midnight new year's eve, cash will be the safest place to be. not necessarily the best place, but the safest.

S Korea court blocks new capital
South Korea's constitutional court has blocked a government plan to move the capital from Seoul to a new site.
The court said the move was unlawful because it first needed to be subject to a referendum.
The ruling was a big setback for President Roh Moo-hyun, who had campaigned for the move and argued it did not need to be put to a referendum.
Mr Roh and his supporters want a new capital to tackle Seoul's overcrowding and its dominance of the economy.
Twenty million people, or 40% of the population, live in or around the capital.
But the proposal to move it to a new location has been highly controversial, and eight of the nine judges on the constitutional court said the decision was against the law.
The court said that for the move to go ahead, the government first needed to amend the constitution or win a national referendum.
President Roh came to office two years ago promising to move the capital to a rural district in the centre of the country.
He gave the go-ahead in August for the $45bn construction project, and said the site of Yeongi-Kongju had been chosen.
But the main opposition party, which originally backed the plan, then changed its mind, saying it had thought the scheme would never get off the ground.
The BBC's Seoul correspondent, Charles Scanlon, says the relocation has been criticised as ill-conceived and too expensive.
Questions have also been raised about the timing.
Many believe the site of the capital will have to be reconsidered again if North and South Korea are reunified, our correspondent says.

"General impression." Concelho de Macau Things to Do Tip by dmirebella
Concelho de Macau Things to Do: 370 reviews and 1,108 photos
There is no specific place to state when visiting Macau - it simply has a very serene air about it ... It has always been overshadowed by its glitzy near-neighbour Hong Kong - which is precisely why it's so attractive. Honestly, after the hustle and bustle of HK, Macau was a welcome relaxation.

Sunderland 3-4 Chelsea
- From the section Football
Eden Hazard scored two sublime goals as Chelsea came from behind to win and increase Sunderland's relegation fears.
The Black Cats were ahead through Jozy Altidore's first league goal for the club before Frank Lampard levelled with a close-range header.
Hazard put Chelsea ahead with a curling 20-yard strike, John O'Shea equalising after a scramble before Hazard's powerful finish made it 3-2.
Phil Bardsley's own goal made it 4-2 before he scored at the right end.
It could have been worse for the hosts, Fernando Torres blazing a glorious chance over the bar while O'Shea was fortunate to stay on the pitch after a foul on Demba Ba as the Chelsea substitute was lining up a shot.
The result leaves Sunderland, managed by former Chelsea FA Cup winner Gus Poyet, rooted at the foot of the Premier League table.
Chelsea had arrived at the Stadium of Light with two wins in six games on their Premier League travels, and manager Jose Mourinho bemoaning a lack of consistency from his players.
But the Blues remain second in the table, four points behind leaders Arsenal, after a gritty performance earned a third straight league win.
They did it the hard way, the Blues falling behind for the third successive game after Altidore got the better of John Terry in the 14th minute to lash home from 10 yards.
But unlike Sunday against Southampton, Mourinho did not have to wait almost an hour to see his side respond.
This time Chelsea were on level terms within three minutes, poor defending allowing Lampard to mark his return to the team by nodding Juan Mata's cross into the net unchallenged from six yards.
Sunderland, having started so brightly, were on the back foot.
Torres blazed over when he should have done better before Hazard put the visitors ahead with a delightful finish, the Belgian producing a clever piece of trickery before curling a low 20-yard shot beyond goalkeeper Vito Mannone in the 36th minute.
Sunderland, who had beaten Manchester City and Newcastle in their previous two home games, rallied.
They were level when O'Shea poked home from close range after the visitors had failed to deal with a 50th minute corner.
But Hazard, whose performance was described as "amazing" by Mourinho afterwards, capped a fine individual performance with another tremendous finish after latching on to Lampard's 62nd minute back-pass.
Chelsea went 4-2 ahead when Bardsley turned the ball into his own net in the 84th minute while trying to clear a low centre from Blues substitute Demba Ba.
Bardsley did manage to score at the right end two minutes later, but it was not enough as Chelsea secured an incredible ninth straight Premier League win at Sunderland.
Catch up with all of Wednesday's Premier League action through the BBC Sport Facebook page.
Sunderland manager Gus Poyet:
"If we can play like this and fight like this and make it so difficult, we will stay in the Premier League for sure.
"Maybe we needed one more corner today, one extra corner in the last six minutes. But we didn't get it.
"It was a great display [by Hazard], probably the best I have seen this season from an individual player."
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho:
"It was a very good performance.
"Even defensively, I think we did well, but the set-pieces... In the last six minutes of extra time, if they had two more corners, they would have won 5-4.
"When you play so well, you have to win comfortably and not give a headache to the manager in the last six minutes."

Meet the Doctors
Dr. Nancy Otte, Dr. Thomas Buechler and Dr. Ryan Kluemper take pride in providing the one-on-one interactions required to solve eye health and vision problems and enjoy caring for the patients in Jasper, IN and surrounding communities.
Dr. Nancy Otte graduated from Jasper High School and then attended Indiana University graduating with a Doctor of Optometry degree. She has practiced optometry in Jasper her entire career merging her practice with Dr Tom Buechler in August 2006 to form Clay Street EyeCare.
Dr Otte has been very active in the community having served on the Jasper Chamber of Commerce, Strassenfest Committee and Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Dubois County. Indiana University is still a big part of her life as she not only cheers on the Hoosiers at games but is also active in the local alumni chapter and currently serves on IU's Athletic Committee.
Dr Otte really enjoys working with people and getting to know them over the years. After an accident in 2010 the support and help from many of her patients and friends helped her get back to work full time again.
In her spare time Dr Otte enjoys outside activities, her dog Gracie and working out. She plans on helping her patients with their eye care and their eye wear for years to come.
Dr. Tom Buechler graduated from the IU School of Optometry in 1982 and has practiced in Jasper since 1988. In 2006 he merged his practice with Dr Otte and Clay Street EyeCare was formed to better serve our patients.
Dr Buechler lives in Jasper with his wife Julie and two daughters, Anjuli and Aimee. He enjoys outdoor activities such as cycling, hiking and flyfishing.

I have a .Net system which 3rd parties can extend when they reference supplied API assemblies. My concerns are with backwards compatability, namely I need to ensure that whenever binary non-breaking changes are made to the supplied API assemblies (for example a method is added):
- Plugins built using the old version should still work when running the new version.
- However plugins built using the new version should not work when running the old version (as otherwise this may lead to runtime failures if the plugin tries to call a method that doesn't exist)
Because of the second requirement I can't simply keep the version numbers the same - the only way I then know of then satisfying requirement 1. is by using binding redirection which requires maintaining a long list of all previous version numbers for all API assemblies. This seems error-prone and tedious.
Is there any alternative strategies for maintaining sensible backwards compatability when dealing with .Net assembly version numbers?

City's historic Forks worth preserving
In just a few days, the Natchez Planning Commission will make a major rezoning decision that will impact the future of the Forks Of The Road historical enslavement grounds.
Since Natchez is a place where history and remembrance have always been revered, it is distressing to think that such an important part of our city, our state and our nation's history as represented by The Forks could be destroyed forever in a single short-sighted decision.
Think about what is being considered when the Forks Of The Road is discarded. It is a site as important as any in America's past, and not just the persons of African descent. In a new book, "Ebony and Ivy: Race, Slavery, and The Troubled History of America's Universities," MIT professor of history Craig Steven Wilder recounts the impact the slave trade had on the establishing of some of our most prestigious colleges and universities.
We are still learning about the impact of the domestic slave trade in the growth of America during the antebellum period.
With tourism being such a vital part of our economy, as the commission prepares to make this important decision, we as a community must ask ourselves if it really makes sense to put any commercial business or housing on the site of the second-largest domestic slave market in America. The Forks is listed as the City's fifth pillar of tourism in the City's adopted 20-year comprehensive plan.
Tourists have been visiting Natchez for years to take the annual pilgrimage tour of historic homes and witness the pageantry of a heritage that many revere. The Forks deserves no less a profile in the community's shared history. Is is not a contradiction to have the Forks as a fifth priority of tourism in your 20-year comprehensive plan on the one hand, and on the other hand allow the obliteration of the only remaining vacant land by construction of tax-credit housing?
Contrary to what some may believe, saving Forks Of The Road is not at all about revenge or settling old scores. It is in its own powerful way, a place of American remembrance, and to honor ancestors, who labored through tremendous hardship to persevere, help build and develop a new land, and fight for their own freedom in a nation that we all call "home."
History cannot be denied nor forgotten. But it can be wiped away. However, we can heal by making peace with the past and learning from it. No man is an island! Relationships, harmonious relationships, can be developed when we understand one another.
As the daughter of a businessman and a life-long Natchez resident, I can appreciate a need for development and the construction of affordable housing in our community. But in a city that requires strict adherence to historic preservation down to the paint on a building, can a historic site as significant as Forks Of The Road be wiped out without outcry from all who love history? I hope not.
Preserving half of the remaining site of The Forks and finding a more suitable location for affordable housing is something the community can and should support. Please let our elected officials and planning commission members know that you agree. The Forks is worth saving for all of us.
Joyce Hunt Washington is a Natchez resident.

Just another revisit to cloth cape making. This cape is a lot longer and fuller and really sits well on Bàtman. I have continued to evolve my methods in cape wrangling and finally did a tutorial on this figure in theGeekSummit blog. It's another pull-through cape sealed into the body and then shaped with hot glue under the neck of the cape.
The neck has been altered for added movement ( for batpods n such). The back, knees and elbows have been deepened as well for a lower crouching position. To finish off I sprayed him down with matte finish.

The group will be "active" in the final weeks of the race, Lonegan spokesman Rick Shaftan told PolitickerNJ.
"Mr. Lonegan is the only candidate in this race who will stand against Senators Dianne FeinsteinDianne FeinsteinJudiciary Dems seek hearing on voting rights Intel leaders push controversial encryption draft Democrats block energy spending bill over Iran amendment MORE (D-CA) and Dick DurbinDick DurbinJudiciary Dems seek hearing on voting rights Elizabeth Warren stumps, raises funds for Duckworth Senators roll out changes to criminal justice bill MORE (D-IL) for your Second Amendment rights in the U.S. Senate," reads a release posted on Ammoland.com by the the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund.
Shaftan told PolitickerNJ that the group's decision to engage in the race was significant because it's an indication outside observers believe he can win on Oct. 16.
Two consecutive polls released this week showed the race to be closer than expected, with Democrat Cory Booker's lead down from the mid-20s to the low double-digits, an indication Lonegan may be picking up some steam.
The NRA endorsement and activity in the race could give the Republican a much-needed boost of resources and media coverage as he fights an uphill battle in the blue-leaning state. Booker remains the heavy favorite to win.
