Blocking Spammers and Viruses on This Page

Greetings, Brothers and Sisters!

Calvin, your moderator, is taking steps to make sure your computer doesn't get infected with viruses and spam, and they are invisible steps you won't even notice.

Effective today (right now, actually), it is impossible to leave a comment on any of the articles on this link, or any of the other links on your website.

Virus spreaders, spammers (and basically idiots with too time on their hands) have been attaching comments to some of the stories on here, hoping you'll click on them.
When you do, they've got you.

If you have a comment on a story or event you see, just email it to me and I will post it manually. My spam filter, virus protection, and word processing system filters out about 99% of what those idiots try to upload. Google catches the rest.

These links are for READING news and articles ONLY. Please rest assured that you can read them with no problem.

Again, if you want to post comments on what you've read, just email those comments to me.

Thanks!

FROM THE ROSS COLLECTION

Mrs. Margaret Stacy, Mrs. Georgia Foster, Mrs. Florida Safford, Mrs. Lovenia Bond, and Mrs. Wilma Gaines meet to go over plans to raise money through a musical program at Bethel A.M.E. Zion. The money raised will send 32 Riverview-South Central delegates to the Interdenominational Christian Conference, sponsored by Women of the Synod of Appalachia, Presbyrterian Church USA.

Mr. Minerva Taylor Honored

A Girl Scout Honor for our Mrs. Minerva Taylor.

Back in the day, many of our parents volunteered their time in service to the young people of Riverview and South Central Kingsport.

New Douglass High Student Council Executives

New Douglass High School Student Council Officers were elected.

Mr. Donald Perry was elected president of the Douglass Student Council, and Miss Jewell Davis was elected vice president.

Miss Charlotte Young's Rendition

Miss Charlotte Young gave a dramatic rendition of "The Crucifixion" by noted author James Wellington Johnson.

The occasion was a talent show held at Douglass High School.

What Ever Happened to the Douglass Teen Center?

What ever happened to the Douglass Teen Center? There were always activities for our young people to engage in, it gave them something to do, and it did not cost a whole lot to operate.

Hopefully, when the Ebony Club comes back, it will solve the problem of providing a suitable, Christian environment for our young people, and will give them something productive to do!
