Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann pres-ents the Dickie Nowell Award to RichardGoldman during the 2013 Heart O’ Dixieawards ceremony.

Maybe Richard Goldman is getting betterwith age. Saturday, when he captured hisseventh Dickie Nowell Memorial Award atthe 34th Heart O’ Dixie Triathlon, heimproved his time from the year before, fin-ishing 2:09:16 in 2012 to 2:08:39 Saturday.Each year, the Dickie Nowell Memorial

Award is given to the first competitor fromNeshoba County who finishes the Heart O’Dixie Triathlon. Goldman has now won theaward in 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012and 2013.“This award means a lot to me,” Goldman

said. “It almost a race by itself for the localcompetitors.”Goldman has had a pretty good season of

triathlons this summer, having won the RaceFor Grace Triathlon.“I have been busy this summer with work

and other things,” Goldman said. “I reallyhaven’t been able to train like I would like to,just a couple of times a week. But I washappy to win the Race For Grace and to winthe Nowell award.”John Williams has won the award eight

times which is the most by anyone.The award is presented by the

Philadelphia Sertoma Club which sponsors

the Heart O’ Dixie.It is given in memory of Nowell, a former

resident of Neshoba County who passedaway in 1989 after a lengthy battle with can-cer. Nowell was not a member of theSertoma Club but was a friends to many of itsmembers at the time. He competed each yearin the Heart O’ Dixie until his health prevent-ed him from doing so.The Nowell award was first given in 1990.Past Top Neshoba County finishers were

Charlie Therrell, a 40-yearveteran race announcer, willbe honored today at 2 p.m. atthe racetrack.Therrell stepped down last

year from his announcingduties, but still plans to sup-port the races.

Therrell has been involvedwith horses and racing for themajority of his life as hisfamily has been dealing withharness horses since he wasyoung.“I drove them in races, but

I needed to stop racing,” hesaid.

“I still wanted to supportthe races at the Fair so I start-

ing announcing in 1972.”Therrell said he felt like it

was time to “pass the baton”to the next generation.“I wanted to retire when I

wanted to retire and I wantedit to be on my own terms.”He still plans to support

the races as a spectator.“This will be the first time

in the last 40 years to see a

harness race from my cabinporch and I look forward toit,” said Therrell.Throughout the year, he

recruits good harness andhorse man to come race at theNeshoba County Fair.Therrell is looking for-

ward to this year’s Fair.Residents in the Therrell

and Ford cabin have started a

tradition of having a jointmeal one night during theFair, said Therrell.He said the Fair is a great

time for family as it is theonly time of the year to havehis family together for a fewdays.“It’s been a family tradi-

tion for the past 40 years,”said Therrell.

Fair Association to honor Charlie Therrell

“I hate all your show and pretense– the hypocrisy of your religious festi-vals and solemn assemblies. I will notaccept your burnt offerings and grainofferings. I won’t even notice all yourchoice peace offerings. Away withyour hymns of praise! They are onlynoise to my ears. I will not listen toyour music, no matter how lovely it is.Instead, I want to see a mighty floodof justice, a river of righteous livingthat will never run dry.” (Amos 5:21-24)

Czar Nicholas II lamented in hisday that “there is no justice amongmen.” Alexander Pope wrote:“Injustice, swift, erect, and uncon-fined, sweeps the wide earth, andtramples over mankind.” Is it possiblethat you and I have come to live in aday where the sad truth of these state-ments has come to be a prevailingreality once again – even here inAmerica? How have we come to this?How have we fallen, as a culture, to aplace where justice is so little under-stood, respected, demanded of ourleaders or freely given to our neigh-

bor? Criminals are set free on legaltechnicalities. Private property is con-fiscated by the powerful. Individualrights to life, liberty and the pursuit ofhappiness are all too often ignored anddenied – as especially is seen with theunborn (see: Proverbs 17:15). Is thiswhat God demands of us? Is this whatwe are to expect of ourselves?Of course, whenever we speak of

justice, a number of different thingseasily come to mind. For instance,justice has something to say about ourrespect for individual property rights.If true justice is honored and sought,

then we will seek to allow a person tomaintain possession of what he right-fully owns and we will assist him toretrieve what has been taken from himwrongly. This aspect of justice istaught throughout the Scriptures but isseen especially in the eighth and thetenth commandments. Sadly, justiceof this sort is becoming rare in our cul-ture today where government seemsintent on taking away more and moreof what one person possesses in orderto give to another which is deemedmore deserving. Old, family-run busi-nesses are shaken down and pressured

to surrender more and more of theirearned wealth in order to appease thepowers that be. Is this to be our senseof justice?Then also, justice involves efforts

to insure that laborers are given whatis promised (contracted) and thatwages earned are commensurate withthe true value of the service rendered.In this way, the weak and the vulnera-ble are afforded a measure of protec-tion from the greed of the powerful.The just reward for service is assuredby laws designed not only to protect

our right to work and to earn aliving, but our right actually tobe paid (promptly) for ourlabor. So, how is it that wehave fallen to a place whererewards are handed out regard-less of merit and unionsdemand compensations evenfor labor not rendered? Havewe forgotten so quickly theApostle’s exhortation: “If any-one is not willing to work, thenhe is not to eat, either” (2 Thess3:10) even as many so passion-ately strive to maintain a per-manent welfare state whereinso many of our fellow citizensare paid to live in perpetualslavery to the government? Isthis true justice?Of course, there is also a ret-

ributive element to justice, isn’tthere? This allows for individ-uals to be punished justly inaccordance with their crime.Appropriate penalties areinflicted upon those who trans-gress the laws of the land and,in this way, weak and helplessvictims are comforted and

spared further abuse by theruthless and merciless. Butwhat are we to think when wewitness the rich and famous orthe powerful elite of our cultureescape punishment while thepoor are harassed daily? Is thisjust?The Prophet Amos, having

witnessed the slow disintegra-tion of justice, was compelledto cry out in righteous outrageand remind the people of thatfor which God truly sought inIsrael. Nothing else the nationchose to offer God was of anyvalue at all if justice was miss-ing and the justice He lookedfor went far beyond anythingthe people had ever imagined.Fair wages? – do you

remember the story Christ toldof the landowner who hiredworkers for his vineyard andhow, at the end of the day, hepaid the same wages to thosewho worked all day and thosewho only worked the last hour?Have you ever wondered if thatwas just or fair? Does this notteach us that God’s understand-ing of justice goes far beyondthe basic requirement? Does itnot reveal the abundant graceof God and His intention togive freely far in excess of

what actually is deserved? Forthat matter, which one of uscould stand comfortably beforeGod if we were assured of Himonly that which we deserve?Retributive justice? – is it

not a comfort to us to read inRomans 3:26 of a God whochose, on the basis of His ownRighteousness, to justify theunjust – to declare sinners likeyou and me to be cleared of allcharges because another(Jesus) died in our place – theJust One dying for the unjust?Do these facts not move us,

as a people, as a culture, torenew our effort to seek justice– REAL JUSTICE – in ourland? Shouldn’t we be moti-vated to fall before the Lordour God and beg His forgive-ness for the manifold ways inwhich we have failed “to dojustly” (Micah 6:8) in Hissight?Martin Luther King Jr. once

said, “True peace is not merelythe absence of tension; it is thepresence of justice.” He wasright! – and I fear America willnever again know true peaceunless we recover a biblicalconviction for true justiceamong us. May God make itso!

NAME: Pete DeWeese

CURRENT CITY: Alpharetta,Ga.

OCCUPATION AND WHATIT ENTAILS:I teach at Milton High School

(Ga.). I also coach Football andGolf at Milton.

TELL US ABOUT YOURFAMILY: I am single with no chil-dren. I am the son of Fent andBettye DeWeese that still live inPhiladelphia.

WHAT AREYOUR HOBBIESAND FAVORITEPAST TIMES?I am an avid

sports fan, a movieand music enthusi-ast, an ardent read-er, and somewhatof a foodie. I amfortunate that Ilove my job so Ispend most of mytime working.

HOW LONG HAVE YOUBEEN COMING TO THE FAIR?I was born a Fair-goer and I have

remained one for 32 years. I wasseven months old for my first Fair.

TELL US ABOUT THECABIN YOU ARE STAYING IN. Cabin 40, the Richardson cabin,

has been in my mothers family sincethe original cabin was built by mygreat-great grandfather W.W.Richardson, one of the founders ofthe Neshoba County Fair. We don't know the exact year that

the cabin was built, but we knowthat the Richardson family was oneof the first to build their own cabinon the grounds. We had to rebuildthe cabin several years back when a

tree fell on a neighbor's cabin andcaused ours to tilt and lean. Much of the wood from the orig-

inal cabin was preserved and wasused to rebuild the cabin as it isnow. I appreciate that history. We don't sleep as many people as

many of the cabins out here, butwhat we have is perfect for us andour Fair "family."

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOURFAVORITE MEMORIES OFTHE FAIR GROWING UP AS A

CHILD?Friends and fam-

ily will always be apart of my Fairmemories. Our lit-tle corner of thesquare was a greatplace to experiencethe happenings ofthe Fair whilegrowing up.

When I wasyounger I was for-tunate to havemany of my

DeWeese cousins nearby in cabin32 and many friends nearby in otherFair "neighborhoods" like HappyHollow. Most of my fond Fair memories

revolve around those friends andfamily members.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE BESTABOUT THE FAIR NOW?

I try to make it home 4-5 times ayear to visit but the Fair is the onlytime where I am basically guaran-teed to catch up with old friends andrelatives. I have not really lived in

Philadelphia in 7 or 8 years and overthat time I have really come toappreciate this aspect of the Fair.

right direction to bring better, higher-paying jobs to our state and to ensure that Mississippi will continue to be a great place to live, work and raise a family.”

Reformed education and raised academic achievement standards for every student. The first steps toward school choice were made with the creation of public charter schools.

Established a $15,000 scholarship for students who score at least a 28 on the ACT.

Provided matching funds to local early childhood education programs through school districts, private and parochial schools, private childcare centers, and Head Start.

Prioritized public schools and higher education while keeping spending low in the state’s budget.

Provided $48 million more to K-12 education, $53 million more to community colleges and universities, and $6.7 million more to student financial aid.

Increased school safety by assisting local schools that wish to hire certified law enforcement officers.

Made the adoption process more affordable by allowing families to claim a tax credit for adoption expenses the same year the child is claimed as an exemption.

Promoted creation of up to 2,000 new jobs in a county with one of the highest unemployment rates.

Enhanced public safety by passing Lenora’s Law to constantly track released sex offenders using GPS monitoring devices and guaranteeing a sentence of 20 years to life in prison for those convicted of attempted murder.

PENINGS DO YOU ATTENDEACH YEAR AT THE FAIRAND WHY?The length of my stay varies

pretty much every year because Ihave to get back to Georgia for thestart of football camp. That really determines what I am

able to attend while I am here. Several of my good friends get

together on Saturday afternoon ofthe fair and that is a "can't miss" forme. A staple of my Saturday nights is

usually a visit to the Howell cabinon the race track for good music,and I always want to see some ofthe races before I leave on Sunday.

WHAT ARE SOME OFYOUR FAVORITE "FAMILYTRADITIONS" AT THE FAIR? Sunday lunch has become a big

deal at our cabin over the years. Atfirst it was kind of a sendoff for vis-itors but in recent years it has often

been a send off for me as I returnback to Georgia. Most years themeal is a collaboration of a fewclose families joining together forgreat down home cooking. Outside of that, I would proba-

bly say a tradition that most Fair-goers know so well: porch sitting. I remember sitting on the swing

with my grandmother IdelleRichardson on Saturday morningswatching the people make theirway around the flea-market. Youcan still find me on that swing onSaturday morning of the Fair.

WHAT ASPECTS OF THEFAIR DO YOU HOPE WILLNEVER CHANGE?The Neshoba County Fair has

always kind of acted as the begin-ning and end of my calendar year,especially now that the end of theFair brings about the start of myfootball season and teaching. I don't see that changing for me.

Overall, I hope that the Fair alwaysremains that little piece of homethat so many people have come tolove and yet no one can accuratelyexplain to outsiders.

DeWeeseContinued from page 1B The Fair is a place that brings

people together for a week, but it isalso a place that brings peopletogether for a lifetime as in the caseof Rush Mayo and Hannah Yates.“Her cabin is five cabins up from

mine so we have been seeing eachother for years," Mayo said.In the summer of 2011, Mayo

said he struck up a conversation withYates who had just gotten back fromWashington, D.C. about politics andher recent trip. After that Fair, thetwo fell in love with one another. But recently on a family vacation

to Disney World, Mayo popped thequestion to Yates and asked her tomarry him.“I am thrilled and it’s amazing

that the person you love has beenthere the whole time just down thestreet,” said Mayo.After coming home from the

vacation, the two will have anengagement party today at 3 p.m. atYates Crossing. All family andfriends are invited.

life on Oct. 7, 2012 after a bat-tle with breast cancer.Her friends wanted to honor

Mayfield’s life at the Fairbecause she was such an avidFairgoer.Her sister Sandra Munday

said she has enjoyed the Fair allher life even though her and herhusband Rudy Mayfield lived amajority of their lives awayfrom Neshoba County.“Glenda and her husband

moved around a lot, but Glendaalways managed to get back tothe Fair,” said Munday.A life-long friend Carolyn

Perry said Mayfield was a rock

for so many of her friends.“After talking with her, she

made you feel like a better per-son when you left the room,”said Perry.In memory of Mayfield,

Perry quoted poet Robert LouisStevenson who said, “She leftthis world better than she foundit. She looked for the best inothers and gave the best shehad. Her life was an inspira-tion; her memory a benedic-tion.”Mayfield graduated from

Philadelphia High School in1964.

She is survived by her hus-band Rudy Mayfield ofAlbuquerque, N.M.; brotherMickey Nicholson of Madison;sister Sandra Munday ofMadison; several aunts andcousins.

Friends to remember Mayfield today on Founders Square

There’s nothing like experienc-ing the Fair for the first time and formany Fairgoers who have beenattending all of their life, makingthat first time trip down to NeshobaCounty’s main event is somethingthat begins shortlyafter birth. Cabin 54, the

Ma r s /C h a lme r scabin located inFounders Square,has indoctrinatedmany babies intoFair life over theyears. For a cabinthat can sometimessleep up to 40guests, this year’sexperience willwelcome yet anoth-er new addition to the clan. His name is Jackson Pickering.

Mother, Jessica Pickering, hasattended the Fair all of her life andhas 31 years of memories and tradi-tions she’s ready to pass on to babyJackson. “This will be my first Fair with a

child,” she said. “He turned sixmonths old recently. I grew up withso many cousins and rememberplaying in the dust and the mud andgetting dirty. “When he’s older, I just want

him to be able to run out there andgo get as muddy as he wantsbecause it’s the Fair. Who cares!”she said.The water hose is always nearby

for a quick rinse off. Jessica wants her son to grow up

in Neshoba County, playing withhis cousins and not having a care inthe world at the Fair.“That’s what I remember as

being the best,” Jessica said.But baby Jackson has a long way

to go before he can get muddy.Until then, Jessica and her husbandBlake, will be the new “Pack-n-Play on the block” this year andnow it’s their time to experienceparenthood as Fair-goers. The new mother explained that

for years she has always had to tip-toe up the stairs of the cabin, care-

ful to not wake the carefree babiessleeping in the room above.However, this year she gets to par-take in making sure sleepy headsget all the naps they need after along day at the Fair. “We have a large, growing

cabin, we all pile in there, and sleepclose to 40 people at times in one

big room upstairsand we have dou-ble bunk beds.“These days

most of themhave a Pack-n-Play at the end ofthe bed becausewe have so manybabies.”This year

there are sevenchildren threeyears or younger

at the cabin.“My cousin William has a 2-

year-old and a 1-year-old. My othercousin, Adam has four children.They have a set of twins that are 2-years-old and they have a 3-yearold and an older child who’s 7 or 8-years-old. My other cousin MaryLee has a 2-year-old and thenthere’s mine.”Visitors to the cabin find the

upstairs filled with Pack-n-Plays! “If you walk upstairs you have

to first check to see if a baby is nap-ping before you can turn on thelight or speak,” Jessica laughed.“It’s going to get loud and we’rejust going to make the best of it andlet them play, get dirty, and justhave fun.”However, trying to keep the

noise at a minimum while the kidsare sleeping isn’t the only wayCabin 54 maintains a baby friendlyenvironment. Installing baby gates along the

front porch is one way of keepingup with the little ones, while anoth-er way is to simply write their cabinnumber on their arms just in casecuriosity gets the best of littleexplorers. “We put up gates last year. My

husband built gates so that thewhole front porch was gated in sothat they could just play but with

the location of our cabin they canjust play out front and we feel pret-ty safe that none of them are goingto be gone.” “There are so many kids around

in that area anyway that you justwrite ‘54’ on their arm with a per-manent marker and let them play,somebody will return them,” shelaughed. “It’s kind of like when yougo to the race track and you see allthe horses with their numbers, it’slike that. All of our kids have ‘54’written on them.”While Jessica is excited about

little Jackson’s first trip to the Fair,she’s also looking forward to someadult time as well and if traditionholds true for their family then thatmeans watching the horse raceseveryday and placing bets on whowins the Miss Neshoba Countycontest. This may be considered adult

time, but that doesn’t mean olderkids can’t join in on the action. Thisisn’t your average everyday bettinggame, if you’re old enough to drawa name out of a hat or throw a dart,then you’re old enough to win astash of cash if you guess the nextpageant queen. “We always pull for the Miss

Neshoba County Pageant and we allput in $20,” Jessica said. “Usually one of the kids wins,

and we get sad because we ask our-selves, ‘What are they going to dowith all that money,”’ she laughed.“But we used to throw darts

instead. We would get the contest-ants pictures from the paper andthrow darts instead of pulling thenames out like we do now. “However, we always bet on the

pageant and we all go to the horseraces pretty much every day.”All-in-all, no matter how many

things change over the years, orhow big the Pickering family gets,one thing that’s for sure is thatCabin 54 will always hold a lot oflove, and that in itself is what setsthe Neshoba County Fair apart fromall others.“Life would be boring without

the Fair, that’s for sure. It’s some-thing we look forward to everyyear, and what it’s all about is fam-

ily,” Jessica said.

Mitchell Brother’s & SonsSlidell, LA

601-656-8480

She came to Mississippi to teach English atEast Central Junior College in 1946. She soondeveloped a reputation for expecting her stu-dents to “toe the line.” Assignments must becompleted on time; good answers were expect-ed to be formulated whether submitted onpaper or verbally. Her expectations were high;her teaching methods exact; and there was notime for fun and frivolity in her classes.Now what has all this to do with the

Neshoba County Fair? Let me explain. MissUna Harris always taught summer school.Many of the students in her summer classeswere accustomed to attending the Fair, so dur-ing Fair week the thoughts of these studentswere not in the classroom but on theFairgrounds.In Miss Harris’ estimation the Fair did not

bring out the best in those seeking to furthertheir educations and to get credit for FreshmanEnglish. So, to Miss Harris the Fair rankedright along with circuses, sand lot ballgames,and picture shows of questionable subject mat-ter.One day, the parents of one of her students

came by to pick up their son after class. Theywere on their way to the Fair and invited MissHarris to go along, assuring her they wouldbring her home before the shades of night fell.

Well, to the surprise of her students andthose faculty members who also taught sum-mer school, Miss Harris accepted the invita-tion. She never really got to see the Fair. Bythe timeshe reached the entrance to the mid-way, students, both current and former, begangreeting her and expressing their surprise atseeing her at the Fair. She spent the majority ofher time at the Fair talking with former stu-dents about what they had done since gradua-tion. In the shadow of the Ferris wheel,Fairgoers brought their children to meet theirformer teacher.Miss Harris was pleased at all the attention

and spent an enjoyable evening at the Fair.From that Fair until she retired, Miss Harrishad a kinder attitude toward those studentswho were anxious for class to be over so theycould spend time at the Fair before the nextschool day began.In 1970, my brother-in-law and his three

sons, who lived in LaGrange, Ga., paid us avisit. The visit happened to be during Fair week,

and I decided my three nephews would enjoya trip to the Fair. It had rained so much thatweek that some of the shavings scattered alongthe midway had washed away. The mud did

not keep the three young nephews from beingentertained. They rode every ride, participatedin every game of chance, and had their fill ofcotton candy, funnel cakes, and Polishsausage.As the years passed, Mark (the middle

nephew) finished school, found a job, andmarried. He often mentioned the Fair and hisdesire to make a return visit. Several years ago, he called and said he had

arranged to take time off to visit the NeshobaCounty Fair. By then, we had a cabin on theracetrack, and it was my pleasure to entertainMark and his wife at the Fair. They did drive over from LaGrange and

spent three days at the cabin, each day mar-veling at the many interesting things alwaysgoing on at the Fair.

Mark’s wife said she was happy to actual-

ly see the one-of-a-kind place that her husbandhad mentioned many times. She told me, ”Hemade it so interesting and entertaining that Ialways wanted to visit the Fair to see if all hesaid was real or just a child’s impression ofrow after row of cabins with a colorful mid-way and a water-sprinkled racetrack.” Mark’s wife, like thousands of other first-

time visitors, was not disappointed in the Fairand has frequently returned to enjoy the oppor-tunity to visit with family and enjoy the sightsand sounds of the Fair.These two examples illustrate the fact that

for most folks a visit to the Fair leaves a last-ing impression and causes them to want toreturn again and again to this historic, unique,and fascinating event known as the NeshobaCounty Fair and Mississippi’s Giant HouseParty.

Special plans are being made for nextyear’s 125th anniversary of the NeshobaCounty Fair, said Doug Johnson, Fairmanager.

Though nothing is official, boardmembers are working out details andevents for the Fair’s anniversary, hesaid.For now, Johnson is excited about his

19th year as the Neshoba County FairManager.

“I’m hoping it’s [Neshoba CountyFair] going to be good,” Johnson said. “ Most people I’ve talked to think that

the entertainment will be good and over-all, it’s just going to be a great week.”Johnson noted that every year the Fair

maintenance crew spreads calcium-chloride to put on the main streets tokeep the level of dust down.“We used to go around the

Fairgrounds with a water truck and bythe time we get through spreading, thewater would evaporate. So, we wouldhave to go again. This has saved us time

by switching to calcium-chloride,” saidJohnson.At various sections of the

Fairgrounds, three drainage ditches havebeen installed to improve the waterdrainage, said Johnson.In wake of the new firearm legisla-

tion, Johnson said firearms are prohibit-ed on the Fairgrounds except for lawenforcement. Signs will be posted at allgates, Founders Square and the parkinglots.The 18-year-old sand in the cattle

barn has been replaced with new sandthis year, Johnson said.The Fair manager thanked

Weyerhaueser for providing wood shav-ings for the barns, petting zoo andFounders Square at no cost except for itbeing brought to the Fairgrounds.Johnson said that utilities went up for

the two and three-story cabins by $25this year.Utilities at two-story cabins are now

$275 and three-story cabins, $325.He said the camper fees will go up to

the board since the 1970s andhas served as chairman of manydifferent committees.Donald and the Fair board

Branch and our son lives here.This is the only time our family

can get together for eight days,”said Patsy.Donald likes the races and

the concert. As for Patsy, shelikes to sit on the porch. Thetwo also enjoy the carnival withthe kids.“We enjoy the neighbors.

They have been super,” saidDonald.Food is always a tradition at

the Donald cabin. Every year onSaturday night, the Donalds’son-in-law cooks ribs. Their daughter and daughter-

in-law always cook a couple ofmeals a week.“Our favorite meal at the

cabin is round steak and gravy.We have that at least a couple ofnights,” said Donald.Donald enjoys the Fair and

loves getting a chance to meetdifferent people.“I just like the Fair because

you get a chance to enjoy thepeople. I love seeing kids playaround here. “Without the kids this place

would be a miserable place.”
