Expect the East Coast, including Florida, to experience a hot, above-average September, says Dr. Todd Crawford, chief meteorologist for The Weather Company. The good news – for those who like the colder weather – is that temperatures will drop into below average during October and November, Dr. Crawford says. Not so, however, for California and the West Coast, which will continue to face abnormally hot temperatures moving into November, he predicts. If the predictions hold true, this would be the second consecutive, warmer-than- average September in the East. A year ago, meanwhile, the Northeast and Southeast had their third hottest September on record. In fact, if you want to experience a cooler-than-average start to fall this season, you'll have to travel to the northern and central Rockies and adjacent Plains, according to The Weather Company. “Changes will begin to appear in October, as much of the Midwest and East see temperatures near or slightly below average,” Dr. Crawford predicts. “And the greatest chance of below-average temperatures will be in the Great Lakes region.” November's forecast is shaping up to be similar to October with the greatest chance of near to slightly below-average temperatures in much of the Midwest and East. But above-average temperatures are forecast to become more expansive in the Photo Courtesy of Willie Ann Dickey, July 27, 2019 West, with California, Arizona, much of Nevada, southern Utah and western New Capital Area Community Action Agency was one of several vendors offering educational material and goodies to students and parents during Mexico seeing temperatures the furthest above-average in November. the Back-to-School event sponsored by All God's Children Outreach Min- A subsidiary of IBM, The Weather Company is a weather forecasting and istry, Inc.

Lena Ethel Wuerffel Strickland Lena Ethel Wuerffel Strickland, 87, passed 12000 Hwy. 84 East peacefully to her heavenly home on Aug. 16, 2019, Quitman, Ga. with her family and friends by her side. She was the oldest daughter of Frederick and Julia Irene Wuerffel, born in Monticello and lived there (229) 263-7561 until her death. She had a love and passion for her hometown and was involved in many community services. She was the president of the Monticello Woman's Club, president of Triple L Club, and served for decades as the church hostess at the First Baptist Church. She was also an active member and organizer of Relay for Life and the Survivors Dinner many years prior to her own battle with cancer. She was also a volunteer for Big Bend Hospice and an Eastern Star member of the Quincy chapter. She and her husband, Clyde Strickland, worked relentlessly on raising funds to purchase the first rescue truck for the Jefferson County Ambulance Service. She will be missed for her many altruistic projects. Ethel started her working career as a teenager at Simmons Drug Store, where all of the teenagers gathered after school. She then worked at Selective Service in Jefferson and Madison counties until the draft was disbanded. For many years she knew all teenage boys in both counties on their 18th birthday. She then worked for the city manager's office, Florida Power, and the building inspector’s office in Jefferson County, where she met the new residents to Monticello. She was always so proud to tell them all about her hometown and invite them to church. She graduated from Jefferson County High School in 1952, and continued to be friends with her classmates over the years, planning many of the class reunions. She was a member of the First Baptist Church for 75 years, active in Becky Clayton’s Sunday School class, a member of search committees, Wednesday night dinners, visiting the sick, hospitalized, and homebound members. She lovingly decorated for many occasions at the church. She used her talent for decorating and organizing Brian Reese events to enhance hundreds of occasions. Some of her favorites were the Watermelon Festival Luncheon, Fashion Show, Secretaries Luncheon, fundraisers Sales Consultant for the Woman's Club, and decorating for weddings and special events. She was preceded in death by her husband Clyo, parents, sister, brothers-in-law and niece. She is survived by a daughter, Judy Duncan (Dennis); son, Edward Strickland (Tammy); grandchildren; Heith Duncan (Crystal), Crystal Strickland Archibald (Nate), Steven Strickland (Frannie), Sam Strickland (Amber) and Casey Strickland; seven great-grandchildren: Avery Duncan, Kinsley and Blayden Archibald, Trent and Callie Strickland, Collin and Chase Strickland, Michael Cass Burch Cheverolet in Quitman, Ga.
