Century Fighting Alcohol At Community Center, Postpones Meeting, Buys Newspaper Ad
August 18, 2010
The Town of Century will fight alcohol at a community center, purchase a $325 newspaper ad and postpone their next regular meeting.
Alcohol At The Ag Building
Council member Sharon Scott addressed what she said was an alcohol problem at the Century Ag Building on West Highway 4 near the nursing home. There have been several complaints about loud music and alcohol at parties at the facility over recent months.
“We are going to have to be more proactive about the Ag Building with alcohol,” Scott said at Monday night’s council meeting.
“We are,” Mayor Freddie McCall responded.
Newspaper Ad
Also at Monday night’s meeting, the council voted to a purchase a $325 ad in an upcoming football section in the Tri-City Ledger.
“It’s to support our football team,” McCall said.
Postponed Meeting
The Century Town Council’s next regular meeting has been rescheduled for Monday, September 13 at 7 p.m. The meeting was rescheduled from September 6, which is the Labor Day holiday.

They could have a sign on the fence for around $200.00 and saved the rest. Tri-City covers very little at NHS.
That is correct who is this money going to Northview or the newspaper? A sign on the fense or add in the program would go to Northview . Willian supports Northview more than the paper.
If adults are 21 and up , and drinking at a community center they rented and are not driving I don’t see how they can legally do anything to them. Or why you would care to
good ole boy crap through and through and your not suppose to question
that it really isn’t going to do what they said it would.
There not going to tell you who it really benefited.
This of it as just one hand washing the other.
A newspaper ad helps the Northview football team? Huh? The newspaper runs one or two pictures per week with a little story about Northview football. Northescambia.com runs hundreds of pictures and sometimes a dozen stories per week about Northview. Who support Northview most?
But if they wanted to help the football team, maybe they should have bought an ad in the football program, a sign on the fence or just given the money to the Quarterback Club, or the cheerleaders or the Band Boosters. That would have helped the kids, not the bank account at the newspaper.
