The use of poppies as a remembrance of war and veterans goes back to World War 1 and a poem entitled "In Flanders Field".
In observance of Veteran's Day, the Scouts that are sponsored by Smyrna VFW Post 8422 will again distribute the "Buddy Poppy" at local stores. On the morning (9-12) of Saturday, November 10, Cub Scouts and Webelos from Pack 842 will hand out poppies for everyone to wear. That afternoon, (1-4), the Boy Scouts of Troop 422 will also give out these patriotic reminders. All donations received will go to the VFW, for assisting local disabled and in-need Veterans and their families.
Smyrna locations are as follows:
Big Lots, Advanced Auto Parts, Kroger-Sam Ridley, Lowes, PX-Smyrna Base, Tractor Supply.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
Her name is Abby and she ran off from home on Monday. I live near the Stewarts Creek schools, near seminary, rocky fork and Almaville road. I really don't know how far she might have gone, it's been over 24 hours since she was last seen.
Abby is a 15 month old chocolate lab, about 60 pounds. She is a little skittish around people but is not mean at all, and will probably run away from anyone getting too close.Steve's email is(steve@smyrnaweather.net) and his cell phone is 615 - 579 - 1187 if you think you have seen her.Here she is on the left side.

Tirado likes to call himself a “hybrid” fighter, in which he could end the fight in many different ways including knocking them out by striking with the feet, knees, elbows or punches or using the ground game to put a submission move and making his opponent tap out.
He will join several of his teammates from Nemesis Gym as part of the MMA fight card that will take place Saturday night at Hooptown USA in Smyrna.
On October 13th, 2012 at approximately 6:41am the Smyrna Police Department received a call from a neighbor of 1224 Bolton Drive that an eight year old child had come to their home carrying a handgun and informing the residents that his parents were dead. The neighbor secured the weapon and officers on the scene took possession of the weapon when they arrived. Investigation has revealed the parents are Sharon Forbes, DOB 05-04-1978, and Adytia Ramotar, DOB 01-17-1975. (Adytia is pronounced Ah-did-tee-ah.) Detectives have concluded that Mr. Ramotar murdered Ms. Forbes and then turned the weapon on himself. Mr. Ramotar and Ms. Forbes had been married at one point in their lives, had divorced, and then were attempting to reconcile. Two children in the home were of the ages of 8 and 6 and were the biological children of Ms. Forbes and Mr. Ramotar. Another child in the home was a 2 year old nephew that was living in the home with his mother which is the sister of Ms. Forbes. The mother of the 2 year old was not home at the time of this incident. Mr. Ramotar and Ms. Forbes were natives of the country Guyana but were legal residents of this country. The Smyrna Police Department has never had any prior contact with either Ms. Forbes or Mr. Ramotar. The children are in the custody of the Department of Children’s Services and are being prepared to be handed over to family. Our investigation so far reveals the children did not witness the violent act in the home.
As we were on the scene this morning numerous neighbors came forward showing support and concern for the family and the children. If any additional details come forward I will notify you as soon as I have them. Thank you.
Hey, Just wanted to let you know that we’re trying something new tonight on dnj.com. Underneath the livestream of the vice presidential debate, we’ll be live chatting. You can jump in and join the conversation. We’ll start at about 7:45. If you’ve got time tonight and you’re watching the debate anyway, please join in. It’s really easy and it will mean I’m not talking to an empty room.
Fire Prevention Week is October 7th - 13th, and The Smyrna Fire Department is joining forces with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in promoting “Have Two Ways Out!” as the theme for this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign.
The Smyrna Fire Department is hosting an Open House Sunday, October 14th, at Station #1, 401 West Enon Springs Road, from 1p.m. until 5 p.m. Join us for educational, family-oriented activities. Residents can learn more about the power of prevention and available technologies to protect their own families from fire.
In collaboration with fire prevention week we are having the Enon Springs dept send a truck over to the Batteries Plus location on Sam Ridley where we will be giving out free 9 volt batteries to everyone who comes by. It is also going to be a celebration for our one year anniversary as a store and we are going to be doing free laptop battery analysis and possibly a free CFL light bulb give away to coincide with the battery give away. We plan on having snacks and beverages available
The date is October 6th from 1-4pm
Batteries Plus Light Bulbs
I plan on taking them up on the laptop battery annalysis as I have an issue with one right now. Free services like this is a great way for businesses to draw in new customers, while performing a service for the community. I'm wishing them well this coming Saturday.
