Via U.S. Mail January 23, 2013 Whigham Community Club 267 W Via U.S. Mail January 23, 2013 Whigham Community Club 267 W Broad Avenue Whigham, GA 39897 Cairo-Grady County Chamber of Commerce 961 N Broad Street P.O. Box 387 Cairo, GA 39828 Re: Hosting a Wildlife-friendly Festival Instead of the Rattlesnake Roundup Dear Sirs and Madams: I am writing on behalf of the Center for Biological Diversity, One More Generation, Protect All Living Species, and the Coastal Plains Institute and Land Conservancy to urge you, the sponsors of the annual rattlesnake roundup in Whigham, to stop incentivizing the capture and killing of rattlesnakes at your annual rattlesnake roundup. I have enclosed a petition with signatures from 48,128 concerned citizens, who call upon you to change your roundup to a wildlife festival where no snakes are killed. Last year, the Evans County Wildlife Club replaced its rattlesnake roundup with a wildlife festival that does not involve the killing of snakes. Rattlesnakes were still a focus of the festival, but their display was for educational, safety, and conservation purposes only. The wildlife festival was a huge success and generated revenue for the local community without harming snakes. We encourage you to follow the example set by the Evans County Wildlife Club. Please know that rattlesnake roundups are depleting populations of eastern diamondback rattlesnakes: Analysis of data from four roundups in the southeastern United States shows a steady decline in the weights of prize-winning eastern diamondbacks and the number collected. This once-common species is being pushed toward extinction not only by hunting pressure but also by habitat loss and road mortality. Scientific studies over the past decade have documented range-wide population declines and significant range contractions, which is why we filed a 2011 petition to protect the eastern diamondback rattlesnake under the Endangered Species Act. In response, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service determined that this snake may deserve a place on the nation’s list of endangered and threatened species and has launched a full status review of the eastern diamondback rattlesnake. We hope that this year’s rattlesnake roundup in Whigham will be the last ever that kills snakes. On behalf of all of us, Collette L. Adkins Giese Herpetofauna Staff Attorney Center for Biological Diversity Change Rattlesnake Roundups to Humane Festivals January 23, 2013 We, the undersigned, are writing to urge you to change the rattlesnake roundup held in your community to a humane festival where snakes are not hunted or killed. Towns such as San Antonio, Florida and Fitzgerald, Georgia have already changed their roundups to successful wildlife festivals that generate income for their communities. We urge you to follow their example and change your roundup to an event where snakes are not collected or slaughtered.

  • Anti-Racism Resources
    Anti-Racism Resources Prepared for and by: The First Church in Oberlin United Church of Christ Part I: Statements Why Black Lives Matter: Statement of the United Church of Christ Our faith's teachings tell us that each person is created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27) and therefore has intrinsic worth and value. So why when Jesus proclaimed good news to the poor, release to the jailed, sight to the blind, and freedom to the oppressed (Luke 4:16-19) did he not mention the rich, the prison-owners, the sighted and the oppressors? What conclusion are we to draw from this? Doesn't Jesus care about all lives? Black lives matter. This is an obvious truth in light of God's love for all God's children. But this has not been the experience for many in the U.S. In recent years, young black males were 21 times more likely to be shot dead by police than their white counterparts. Black women in crisis are often met with deadly force. Transgender people of color face greatly elevated negative outcomes in every area of life. When Black lives are systemically devalued by society, our outrage justifiably insists that attention be focused on Black lives. When a church claims boldly "Black Lives Matter" at this moment, it chooses to show up intentionally against all given societal values of supremacy and superiority or common-sense complacency. By insisting on the intrinsic worth of all human beings, Jesus models for us how God loves justly, and how his disciples can love publicly in a world of inequality.

    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.

Known as "The Hardcore Icon" and "The Funker", Terrence Funk (born June 30, 1944) is a semi-/maybe retired American Professional Wrestler who is a former NWA World Heavyweight Champion , a pioneer of the hardcore style in North America, and one of the ECW Originals. He also has made appearances in Japan with AJPW and (around 2011) NJPW and Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling (FMW), as well as in Puerto Rico with the World Wrestling Council (WWC), the WWWF/WWF/WWE and WCW (both during the later NWA/WCW days and near the end of WCW's run), as well as MLW, SMW, Ring of Honor, TNA, Juggalo Championship Wrestling, Pro Wrestling Guerilla and MANY others. He's known as a member of the Funk Wrestling Family, which includes his late father Dory Funk Sr. (May 4, 1919 – June 3, 1973) and his older brother Dory Funk Jr. (born 1941). (As a bonus, Terry and Dory Jr. are the only brothers to date to ever hold the NWA World Heavyweight title.) In addition, there is his acting resume, starting with Paradise Alley in 1978. He may not look like much, but he's taken bumps men a third his age would not consider, let alone attempt. While not quite the living embodiment of hardcore (that would be Abdullah the Butcher), he ranks pretty close; the Funkasaurus is a walking museum, proselytizing the heritage of the sport as it originated in mid-20th century fairs.
