Church remembers a life of faith and gifts to Cedar Bayou
The Cedar Bayou Church marks decades of service with memories of its founder and benefactors. A 1952 death left Helen Jackson Hendry to support three children, but the church built them a home in East Street’s School Courts and later employed her as choir director and secretary. Other memorial gifts include Rosemary Fisher Jennings’s Exxon Mobil stock and a $100,000 trust noted by Lyles. The service drew about 700 fried chicken pieces, 480 rolls, and generous meals for attendees, who reflected on prayer as a bridge from heaven to Earth.

Kerry ads, responses fuel Vietnam debate in 2004 race

Overtime rule changes redefine eligibility under new rules
The Labor Department implements new overtime regulations affecting about 1.3 million workers earning under 23 660 annually while shielding white collar earners of 100 000 or more. Duties tests redefine professional, executive and administrative exemptions, with case by case employer judgments and few actual losses, according to officials amid critic concerns.
