This paper focuses on an in depth community assessment of the past, present, and future of Shelby, Mississippi. Shelby was once a banner cotton center of Bolivar County. Shelby residents were once referred to as some of the most hospitable and happy people in the state. Shelby, Mississippi was also considered as one of the wealthiest towns per capita of the entire Mississippi Delta. Throughout the years, Shelby has changed from being a place of prosperity to a place needing revitalization. Many businesses have opened and closed in Shelby. Community development in Shelby would allow the town to compete with other small towns in the Mississippi Delta.

Durham, North Carolina is a prime example of a city that has seen both the tangible and intangible benefits of athletic stadium construction. The city of Durham invested heavily in the construction and recent renovation of the Durham Bulls Athletic Park (DBAP), home to the Tampa Bay Rays AAA Affiliate Durham Bulls. The DBAP has become an anchor for downtown Durham, and has led to a rapid revitalization of the once depressed former tobacco based community.

Combine the youthful exuberance of a college town with the laid back, hospitable charm of a small southern city and what you have is Statesboro, Georgia. A lively community with many live music venues, restaurants, bars, bookstores and coffee shops, Statesboro has been praised by the magazine, Georgia Trend as a “Renaissance City”. Home to the Georgia Southern University, Statesboro is steeped in cultural options many of which can directly be attributed to the presence of the school, such as the Georgia Southern Planetarium, Georgia Southern Symphony, and Georgia Southern Museum. At Minuteman Press we feel that variable data printing is a way for local businesses to extend the personal touch of Statesboro

During the early 1990’s a murder case about the gruesome deaths of three eight year old boy shocked the nation, however most people speculated about who the real murderers were. The trial dealt with horrifying deaths, biased thinking towards the accused, unethical ways of finding evidence, circumstantial evidence, and cruel punishments. With that being said, the West Memphis Three of the 1990’s were actually the victims of prejudice police officers and bias beliefs of the townspeople.

As the years pressed on Gatlinburg saw more and more tourist. They decided to take this and create a town that fully runs off of tourist. The second biggest thing to hit Gatlinburg after the creation of the National Park has to be when the general assembly passed legislation in 2009 that made distilleries legal in 41 Tennessee counties. On July 3rd, 2010 the city sold their first legal jar of moonshine. Since, Gatlinburg has opened Ole Smoky Moonshine which allows tourist to come into the distillery and are offered free tastings. This allows the tourist to taste the heritage of the Smoky Mountains. After which the people are able to buy jars of said moonshine and take the taste of the Smokys’ home. This passing allowed for a massive increase from an economic and tax revenue standpoint. The following months brought in more tourist than before. Granted many people thought by offering free tasting of moonshine and making it legal to brew, the locals thought it would put out the wrong image of Gatlinburg. Many locals believed that Gatlinburg should have stayed a more family oriented attraction, but with the passing of the legislation the locals realized that it didn’t affect the family image that had been established. With the locals of Gatlinburg onboard and the moonshine business beginning to take off, the town was uplifted with tourism and gained a new found life.

I am unsure if you are aware that the plan review for the Shelbyville, Tennessee project has not been submitted. The City of Shelbyville will permit the shell building first but plans for the shell building have been submitted.

I am nominating Mayor Tab Townsell, City of Conway, for the Association’s Mayor of the Year. Mayor Townsell was elected in 1999 and immediately began transforming the City of Conway. Under his leadership Conway has grown in population and industry. A new police facility was built in 2009, new first class parks and recreation venues were constructed, high tech companies are locating in Conway and shopping centers are continuously being built. This growth, under his leadership, has propelled Conway to the one of the top cities for recreation and shopping venues. Throughout my time as police chief, Mayor Townsell has encouraged and supported me in my educational and professional growth. He recognizes the importance of police chiefs being involved

The five colleges I researched were; Culver Stockton, Rensselaer, Mizzou, Missouri Southern, and Pittsburg State. I chose is Missouri Southern over the other four choices because it is less expensive than them, it is closer to home and it has a wide variety of activities throughout the year.

“Reisterstown: A place where there are only four things to do: drugs, sex, alcohol, and drugs….A place that is only known about by the people that either live there, or live near there…Otherwise, no one knows about it….The Cow is the hottest place in Reisterstown. If you are visiting and don’t know where anything is, ask for it in relations to The Cow and you'll find everything. It is basically the center of life in Reisterstown. Everyone goes there to hang out. That could also be because there is nothing else to do.” — UrbanDictionary.com

If we watched something that endangered someone´s life, is it our job to speak up and say something and will we be guilty if we had not said anything or done anything? In the Ruling of the Scottsboro Case, Sam Lebowitz stood up and fought for those 9 boys that were accused of rape, also in Wiesel´s Nobel Prize Acceptance Wiesel stood up and spoke about the suffering that he and the other went through, and To Kill a Mockingbird Atticus fought for the innocence of Tom Robinson. They all stood up and said something because if they didn´t, they would be guilty because they did not say anything when they can help them out. If we are bystanders, we cannot stay silent because it is our job to help out those in need even if it endangers our life.

The following is a list of court cases, including the Scottsboro trials, which impacted segregation.

The case that I have chosen to write about stage one of the disaster in 1889 in Johnstown flood, Pennsylvania. The reason is my background is heavy in mitigation and something as disastrous as this could have been mitigated completely out of the history books. At the same time without this horrible technological disaster we would not have the emergency management system that we have in place today. However, just like a lot of our nation's laws and systems we have in place they are written because of the blood that came from a scenario that we have to fix.
