South Side Beta Club Begins Season of Giving

By Jessica Cupples
The National Beta Club is a student centered organization that continually develops and nurtures individuals. At this moment the South Side Beta Club is working on a project called the "Red Cross Care Bags."

One gallon zip-lock bags are filled with emergency items including toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, comb, mouthwash, and shampoo. Senceca Gaydon, a senior at South Side, has finished her project.

"I'm in the Beta club because I get the sense of helping people i don't know, " said Gaydon.

"We will do a project every month," said Judy Gammon, Beta Club advisor. "Our biggest project will be the food drive from November to Christmas break," said Gammon. They will need each student in the school to bring five cans. The project will be called: 5 Cans to Feed 500 Families.

To join Beta club you have to have a B average or above. Ninth graders may join after their first report card showing a B average.

The Mountain Mans Fresh Water

The mountain man said that he built his house where he did because that is where the water is. He use to pump the water into the house but it became expensive and it had to be maintained. Now he lets nature do the work. This is some of the clearest water you will see. The water comes down the mountain and is caught in this. This is the water for everything they do. Drinking, cooking and bathing.

A visit to the mountain mans home



The home of the mountain man is at the top of a mountain. They use solar power for some energy and some light. The stove is a nice wood burning stove. The day we visited it was a hot day and his wife was inside cooking on the wood burning stove.

A true mountain man




We met this man on our recent vacation. He and his wife live at the top of a mountain. His only bills are taxes $100.00. They live completely off the grid. Solar power, garden for food, and water from the stream. His life was interesting and a little foreign to me. Today as I post his picture and I think about the economy maybe his life is not so odd.

Spending time with new friends
