Tomorrow about a hundred or so West Georgia College   alumni will honor a journalism teacher, a former school paper advisor, a   Newsweek magazine editor, and a brilliant teacher. Joe Cumming, my Mass Com­munications teacher, is retiring after years of teaching the magic of the written word to thousands of amateur college students who dreamt of that writing gig that would turn them into profession­als and cast them into the lime ­light for all the world to read. Joe is not a straight-laced man in a suit and tie, throwing large words at you and overwhelming you with Ivy League language. He has a shock of white hair, wire-rimmed glasses, robust cheeks and a clown’s hapless smile that grins at nostalgia of the days of the penny press and "Citizen   Kane." It’s hard to believe that the school will no longer have a Joe Cumming. After four years of watching him scrupulously and diligently help me capture the flavor and not only learn but grasp the idea of journalism and

Salon shows tomorrow’s look today By Tern Persico ~ Staff Writer ORANGE PARK — “I wish I could see it first” used to be what many people uttered under their breath as their hair stylist snipped away at their sacred locks of hair. Now with New Imaging Systems, a computer interactive video dis­play system offered through New Imaging Industries, hair salon pa­trons can see themselves as a fiery redhead, sultry blonde or a bold brunette. The system, which has been on the market three years, is offered locally at Meserves International Salon, 5124 Blanding Blvd, the only Florida salon to offer the ser­vice. Meserves, owned by the hus­band and wife team of Chris and Loretta Meserve, bought the sys­tem f

Tern Persico Record Staff Reporter Yulee resident Ronald Wayne Clark, 22, convicted for first-degree premeditated murder Nov. 2, was sentenced to death Dec. 13 at the Nassau County Courthouse. Judge Henry Adams granted the death penalty for the first time in his 11 years as a judge on the Fourth Circuit Court. Clark was convicted on the murder charge for the October 1989 murder of transient Charles McElroy Carter, 37. A jury found Clark shot Carter twice, once in the chest and once in the face with a 12-gauge single-barrel shotgun. Prosecuters said Clark shot Carter S after driving with two friends to an   abandoned area on County Road 108   by the McQueen Swamp Hunting Club following a night of drinking. Teti­mony showed that Clark shot Carter in the chest, reloaded the gun, leaned over him and shot him again in the head. The two friends, Brian Corbitt and David Hatch, who were present at the   shooting were not charged with par­ticipating in the murder. Prosecuto

In August 1997 my Jack Russell Terrier/Yelow Lab/Pug mix showed up in my driveway as if to say, "I'm home." I already had a dog and cat and really couldn't afford another pet but my friend talked me into keeping him and I'm so glad I did. Because he was already acting like a guard dog defending the neighborhood I named him Ripley after the Sigourney Weaver character in "Alien" and he has lived up to every bit of it. He's seen me through divorce, adoption, chronic illnesses, financial losses, pregnancy, deaths, severe depression, and numerous other obstacles in my life and is always there to get me off the couch and get me moving even when every bone in my body and my entire spirit screams "No!" He's almost died twice and is on a special diet and medication for a liver condition but in August he will be 14 and I will have had him 13 years. Those years I wouldn't trade for the world and I always joke that if he was a guy I'
