Jerry Summers: Bill Casteel On Cotton Friday, February 5, 2021 - by Jerry Summers

With due deference to David Cook and Jay Greeson who have jointly asked to stick the proverbial literary needle into the eye of the public that was handled for 30 years in three columns a week in the Chattanooga Times by the late Bill Casteel this article is dedicated.
Bill provided the wit, sarcasm and often practical wisdom to a current issue of both large and minute proportions.
As previously mentioned in a column on the history, origin and purpose of the Cotton Ball (1933-2020), and one on its spoof, the Kudzu Ball (1981-1989), Bill would have had the unique ability to make fun of Chattanooga’s debutante ball created by the late Zella Armstrong in 1933 and ruled over until her death on April 12, 1965 as the “coming out” event of young ladies in the area.

Cincinnati and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year that was 2020
Some nice things happened! (Like, two) Cheers, 2020! You were horrible. (Source: WXIX) By Brian Planalp | December 29, 2020 at 1:50 PM EST - Updated December 31 at 6:50 PM
CINCINNATI (FOX19) - Difficult. Trying. Unprecedented.
These are the words just a few of them we use to describe what kind of year it’s been. (Did they run out of meaning by April or June?)
Meanwhile, the year itself, “2020,” lurks somewhere between a lament and a punchline hard to say aloud without laughing, whether it’s funny or not.
Often it was not. Businesses closed. People went missing. Beloved community members died. Shootings turned grotesquely commonplace.
2020 was unlike any year at Cincinnati City Hall. Here s what to expect in 2021
Scandal, social unrest and a pandemic: 2020 will go down as one of the most challenging years to date, at least according to a few Cincinnati City Council members.

CINCINNATI â Scandal, social unrest and a pandemic: 2020 will go down as one of the most challenging years to date, at least according to a few Cincinnati City Council members. This is unlike any year any of us have gone through, obviously, said City Hall veteran David Mann.
Federal corruption charges, the coronavirus pandemic and a nationwide push for police reform all led to forced change and reflection among Cincinnati s community leaders and elected officials.
