Shea Jenkins Nix of Bruce likes to cook what she knows everybody likes and “whether you like it or not you fix what the kids like.” She learned to cook on her own at home when she was probably 12 because she wanted to. She would fix supper for her mother when she was working, and had mostly vegetables, because they always had a garden. She never had a problem making cornbread, but says she can’t do biscuits like her mother, Sandra Jenkins.

Pay increase a curious move, but town faces bigger issues
August 31, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Bruce Alderman Gary Edwards summed it all up when he said “we just spent 30 minutes discussing something that shouldn’t have taken 10 minutes.”
The board was contemplating a pay raise for themselves, but struggled for a while to get someone to pull the trigger on a motion. After a lot of beating around the bush, John Earl Armstrong finally made a motion, and the board approved a $50 per month increase with Alderman Lyn Parsons casting the lone dissenting vote. Parsons made it clear, however, he didn’t object to the increase, just the timing.
