ROTARY BUILDS RAMP FOR KENT
Howard Kent of Diamond Hill Neese Road recently returned home from the hospital after his fifth hip surgery.
This time his family discovered they could not get him out of the house to go to the doctor. They contacted Brenda
Thompson, a member of the Rotary Club of Madison County and requested help. Fifteen Rotarians and one neighbor
showed up on Thursday to build him a 32-foot ramp that would allow his wife to get him in and out with his wheel
chair. Mrs. Kent said both of them were amazed that the group could construct a ramp that long in less than two hours.
They were extremely thankful for the ramp, and the family made a donation to Rotary for future ramps. Workers
included: Judge Harry Rice, Roy Gandy, Bob Padilla, Erwin Hardeman, Ed Brown, Paul Tilton, Bob Anderson, Alton,
Rowe, Susan Taylor, Tony Taylor, James Adams, Artry Bishop, Brenda Thompson, Charles Thompson, Bill Lewis and
Ed Culbertson.
Comer Farmer’s Market
Table Talkians, locusts share affinity for produce
By Susan Casey-Voytik
Correspondent
Last Saturday’s Comer Farmers’
Market was an olde-fashioned general
store atmosphere of bargains, bartering
and trading. A scant crowd of market-
goers ravaged the produce like locusts
while some of us were caught in a
thicket of Table Talk. Produce in one
hand, table-talk in the other: the value is
subjective.
Doublin’ down on the fresh produce
were two new items, sold-out chilled
“moon and stars” heritage variety
watermelon and the Autumn harbinger
butternut squash. Summer line-up sell
outs were onions, okra, assorted beans,
yellow squash, zucchini, cowhorn and
sweet banana peppers, cantaloupe and
huge three for $1 peaches. On the hori
zon: scuppemongs!
Theresa Cleghorne, master gardener
and CFM member, schooled us on her
new item. Prehistoric, slow-growing
Sago Palms love the heat of direct sun
and thrive in dry areas requiring minimal
care for maximum beauty. Add a little
Jurassic to your landscape.
New to prepared foods were a smokey,
mild salsa companion to “Mouth By
Southwest," heaven sent seven-fruit
focaccia and refreshing cherry limeade.
Sell-outs included lemonade, oatmeal
cookies, poundcake and lemon-blueberry
and cherry pecan loaf cakes.
New in non-foods were personal care
products from candles to cosmetics by
the esteemed Mary Kay. Quality hand-
sewn cargo bags, fashionable purses and
fine bookmarks by The Irish Twin are
featured in a back-to-school sale through
the end of August. Shop the CFM
tables early for unique heirloom quality
holiday gifts.
Most missed was Dan Harris of
Booger Hill Bee Company; most popular
was free kittens and the best kept secret
was free recipes with coordinating CFM
items.
Adding to the atmosphere are the
“Dog Days of August." Although this
summer has been mostly mild, the dog
in the dog days is man's canine friend.
Westminster has nothing on the beautiful
dogs proudly displayed by their joy
ful owners. Jasmine, the CFM mascot,
enjoys a cool spot under the tables, fall
ing scraps and unlimited petting.
Thanks to all who recycled their
jars and bottles. We're still accept
ing unwanted newspapers, reusable pie
tins and aluminum cans.
Farmers’ feedback: Comer resi
dent Pamela Campbell, is a pretty little
lady wearing many hats! While currently
pursuing an auctioneers’ license, she is
one of only four certified appraisers in
Georgia and specializes in antiques and
jewelry. “I’ll appraise anything but real
estate,” Pamela laughs.
Her expertise is put to the test at
Chicken Alley Antiques, her North
Avenue shop in downtown Comer.
The proceeds from Pamela’s shop fuel
her works in the mission fields of the
Honduras through the ministry of “Pacto
De Amor” in Royston.
In addition to offering her appraising
services at the CFM, she grows pears,
persimmons and heirloom “triple
bloom” daffodils.
A little closing of the eyes; a little
folding of the hands... Pamela lives a life
full and filled.
From the dawn of time to olde-times,
not much changes at the Comer Farmers’
Market where there's something for
everybody — two-legged or four! See
you there!
