Employment: Self Employed - Owner of Sandwich Shoppe Mobile Kitchen, a Minister at Cane Creek MB Church of Jackson
Candidate for School Board District 2
Outside Looking In
Examiner: I guess I can say that you have an outsider's view of the current school board situation. When looking at the Jackson Madison County School Board from your perspective, what do you see? What is that makes you want to become a candidate for the school board?
Jackson: Overall, as I look at the system, I'm not really on the outside looking in because my wife is an educator in the public school system, I have a daughter in the system and I’ve always been active at my child’s school.

May Is Skin Cancer Awareness Month |

The best way to prevent skin cancer is to protect yourself and your family from the hazards of the sun at work and at play. When they are used consistently, sun-protective practices can reduce a person's risk of developing skin cancer. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States.
The two most common types of skin cancer (basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas) are highly curable. However, melanoma, the third most common skin cancer, is more dangerous, especially among young people. In 2004, 50,039 people in the United States were diagnosed with melanoma, while 7,952 people died of this kind of skin cancer.
Exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays appears to be the most important environmental factor involved in the development of skin cancer. When used consistently, sun-protective practices can prevent skin cancer.
