Ruler of Hell Marketing and Satanic Messages in Rock
Timmons condemns rock albums and covers as occult propaganda with alleged satanic messages. He cites Venom and Dead Kennedys artwork, backward messages, and pop acts like ABBA and Stevie Nicks as part of a witchcraft trend urging youth toward rebellion and the anti Christian “mark of the Beast.” He warns of tribulation, the Rapture, and urges parents to study hidden messages.

Carbondale Sets Rules for Eurma Hayes Center Use
Carbondale’s Eurma C Hayes Community Center will stay a community center under social service funding rules approved by the City Council. The panel urged absorbing maintenance and security costs and freeing the center’s largest tenant, the child care program, from some public-use charges. The guidelines hint at shifting city program rents to match other tenants and adjusting kitchen and auditorium fees while preserving ongoing funding for the center’s tenants and social programs. Norvell Haynes criticized the move as paving the way to close the center by eliminating the health clinic.
