Crockett County now has its very own McDonald’s! On May 22, the Gamble family, who owns the franchise, invited prominent members of the county to a VIP party at the restaurant. Guests were taken on tours of the kitchen, which contained many types of effi cient technology to meet the needs of customers. On the night of May 25, that kitchen was bustling when McDonald’s opened its doors to a waiting crowd at its offi cial opening at midnight. Pa-trons enjoyed classic favorites like Big Macs and chocolate shakes in the modern and inviting dining room. This McDonald’s, which is connected to a Flash Mart gas station, is run by a managerial staff made up of: Cynthia Arnold, Fernando Bailey, Emily Campbell, Judy Goff, Cody Hunt, Cedric Koonce, Heather Picker, Patricia Smith, and Va-lencia Walker. It is located off of U.S. Highway 412 in Bells at the Highway 88 overpass. In July the restaurant will celebrate its grand opening.By: Kim Stolarick

The Crockett County Chamber of Commerce has some exciting new ideas for the Crockett County. The Chamber would like to form a Cash Mob. A Cash Mob is a group of 20 to 30 people obligated to spend $20 at a local business. The business would be a chamber member and would be randomly selected. The Cash Mob would show up to a business at once and generate at least $400 of revenue at the selected business and keep tax revenue in Crockett County. Another event is in the preliminary stages of formation. On October 27, the Crockett County Chamber of Commerce is planning a music festival on court square in Alamo, TN. If you have any ideas for this music fest, please voice your opinion by contacting the Chamber. If you have any questions about participating in any of the upcoming events or have any questions about being a chamber member, contact the Chamber at 731-696-5120 or email [email protected].

Appreciation for our law enforcement offi cers is not always given or expressed. However, June 1, 2012 was a different day in this county as a luncheon was held in honor of all law enforcement personnel at the Crockett County Sheriff’s Department Counter-Drug Training Complex. After the shooting of Friendship Police Chief Bill Garrett at the Friendship Dollar Store, an anonymous citizen gave a generous amount of money to fund an appreciation luncheon for all the offi cers. This event was well-attended by jailers, deputies, dispatchers, and other sup-port personnel. As an added bonus, the highlight of the luncheon was the presence of Bill Garrett, the Friendship Police Chief. Offi cers enjoyed sharing time with Chief Garrett as well as showing their appreciation and support for the chief. As was evidenced by the tremendous response and outpouring of support the night of the shooting, there is a special bond that exists between all law enforcement offi cers. Especially, when each works so closely with the other in a county as small as ours. Special appreciation to this generous citizen! Also, to those who worked to provide this meal in honor of the men and women who wear the badge, gun, and vest to “serve and protect” at no small sacrifi ce. (Editor’s Note - We are pleased to honor and recognize you as well in this issue of the Crockett Rocket.)

On May 18, Friendship Police Chief Bill Garrett entered the local Dollar General store with his wife, Daphne. What was supposed to be a casual shopping trip quickly became a dire situation when an armed robber entered the store soon after and demanded money. During the incident, Garrett was shot in the upper abdomen, the bullet puncturing his liver. He was airlifted to the Med in Memphis, where he was placed in intensive care, in critical but stable condition. “Thank goodness I was there,” Garrett says of his time at the hospital. The Garrett fam-ily was immediately embraced by Memphis-area offi cers: The Shelby County Sheriff’s Department put the family up in a hotel room, and the Memphis Police Department took money out of their own pock-ets to help them. “For a little small town cop to go to Memphis, and the Memphis PD, the Tennessee Highway Patrol, and Shelby County Sheriff’s Department to be waiting on your family when you get there, to take care of your family—that was very touching.” Garrett was able to return home to on May 26. The Crockett Coun-ty Sheriff’s Department escorted Garrett and his family to Friendship, passing several well-wishers along the way. The love and support for Chief Garrett and his family has been abundant. “We’ve had so much outpouring of affection: cards; money donations; people mowing the yard, and working in the garden. We appreciate the support,” Garrett says gratefully. “And of course the outpouring of love from Friend-ship has just been awesome. A lot of people don’t have the good fortune that I’ve had to see the amount of support my family will get when my ‘big day’ comes.” A big basket of cards rests on the coffee table of the Garrett home, just a fraction of the mail that the police chief has received during his recovery. “I’ve got cards from all over the United States. It’s greatly appreciated. There’s one very touching one from a girl [whose] father was killed; he was a special agent. She wrote to wish me well. That was very touching.” Garrett’s recovery is going well thus far. “I’m getting stronger every day. I don’t have any pain, I’m just weak and tired,” he states. Within the next several weeks he’ll return to the doctor to have forty staples removed. In the meanwhile Garrett is resting at home, and trying to get things done. “I got a million phone calls to make: people to call and thank. I just gotta get off my butt and get to it,” he says with a laugh. We wish Police Chief Garrett a successful and speedy recovery, and we’re happy and grateful to have him home!By: Kim Stolarick

The account of our creation is the very defi nition of God’s divine fatherhood unto all mankind. God only creates life, however, it is certainly formed by the agents of mother and father. During the month of June, we have set aside a special day to honor those men who we call fathers, we want to notice the divine “paternity” of God as it relates to our physical fathers. He is the Father of Life! Not only did the Father create life, but it is also precious to the Father. Just after He created man in Genesis 1:26-27, His view of life is determined in the very next verse: “and God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fi sh of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth” (Gen. 1:28). The Giver of Life did and does not view the preciousness of life has relative, but holds it in high esteem. Fathers who seek to emulate the Heavenly Father will view the lives blessed to their care with the same esteem. Children are a blessing to be valued, not a burden to be endured – to prove this fact one only has to look to those who so earnestly desire children but cannot produce them. Life is too precious a gift for it to be despised and neglected, therefore godly fathers will appreciate it. He is the Father of Love! God’s love toward His creation is an undeniable fact proven throughout scripture! (I John 4:7-8, John 3:16, Romans 8:39) So, what does God love us? – because we are His creation, His children, and that relationship carries with it an innate affection. Many did not and does not have to do anything for God to love us because it is a natural love. Children do not have to do anything to receive their father’s love because it comes naturally. It is that love, from the Father toward man, and from all fathers toward their children, that brings for fruit for good. He is the Father of Law! God’s value of His children in Israel is seen in His continued attempt through history to preserve them: Deuteronomy 6:24 – “and the Lord commanded us to do all these statues, to fear the Lord our God for our good always, that He might preserve us alive, as it is at this day”. Godly fathers are those who seek to in all ways preserve life in their children for it is to be highly valued. The forefathers of this nation recognized the necessity of law for the preservation of this nation, thereby penning the “Charters of Freedom” which are documents of law. God’s fathers today will recognize the necessity of solid, unalterable law in the rearing of Christ for their own preservation and the preservation of a moral society (Eph. 6:4). By instilling in them respect for God’s law, they will then be respectful to the laws of the home and the laws of the land. He is the Father of Liberty! God has, through law, provided liberty unto all who are willing to obey the will of Christ and submit to His charge (Gal 5:1). The forefathers of this great nation recognized the benefi ts of liberty in establishing a republic as described by Abraham Lincoln: “Four score and seven years ago, our forefathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation; conceived in liberty…”. Likewise do godly fathers recognize the necessity of some progressive degree of liberty for their children as they grow. The liberty of which I am writing is not liberty to sin, but to make in-dependent decisions so they can learn responsibility. By at times, stepping back and allowing children to make decisions, fathers equip them to think independently and to think through situations rather than acting on whim or conscience. God gave free will with the expectation that man would be blessed by good decisions and learn from bad decisions – children have capacity for the same when given certain abilities to choose by their fathers. It goes without saying that God, the Father of ALL, stands forevermore as an example of what a father should be to his children. Thank God for fathers who have dedicated themselves to such traits for the good of their children and grandchildren to come. By doing so they escape the same expe-rience of one father who wrote of his failure: A Confession of a Father Who Failed: As a father, I have thought that I was a success. I taught my son to hunt, took him fi shing, set on the sidelines and cheered his work on the football fi eld. I gave him a good allowance and let him use the family car for his dates. I thought I was a pal to my son. Now, that son is gone. The house is empty without his laughter and conscience comes and sits on my pillow and pricks me at night with arrows that sting like poison. Not once did I talk seriously to that boy about Christianity or his soul’s salvation. I thought of church-going as something for the women and I wanted my boy to be a man. Easter found me in a pew, and maybe Mother’s Day. But, the rest of the year, Sunday was the day to go fi shing, play a few rounds of golf, or to just sleep late and catch up on my resting. And now that my son has gone I’ve begun to think of the uncertainty of life. I’m remembering now some of the things my mother taught me when I was a child; things about Jesus and how He gave His life so that all might have a life with Him after death. I remember all she said about the Chris-tian life – how it’s the best life, how it brings a man the greatest degree of satisfaction even on this earth. And how it gives him something to life for – strength to do the right things, and comfort in times of trial and sorrow. Yes, it even makes him unafraid to die. My mothers tried to teach me those things, but my father was like I have been. He was my pal. We hunted and fi shed together and church-going was for the women. He’s gone now and mother, too. He wasn’t a Christian. I wonder is Heaven, too, just for the women? I hope not, because I’ve changed my mind about the matter. I want to go there when I die. I want my son to go, too. It may be forever too late for me to make up for the wrong I’ve done my son. I’ve written him. That’s about all I can do for the present – except pray. But I pray someone will take time to tell my son about Christ, and that maybe he will remember some of the things his mother has told him and will be afraid to face death without a Savior. But, I don’t know. He’s so young, and the young have little fear. I write this in hope that some father, who still has his boy at his side will realize the duty that he has to that boy before it’s too late. Has a father any greater duty than to teach his son the way of salvation and to live the Christian life before him? -Author Unknown May God bless this nation with fathers who love the Father and teach their children to honor Him!

Crockett County E-911 Urges Citizens to Create Safety Profi les Providing Emergency Responderswith Critical Information that Can Save Time and Lives
Crockett County, TN, May 15, 2012 -Crockett County E-911 announced today that they have implemented Smart911 to enhance delivery of 9-1-1 emergency services for area citizens. Rave Mobile Safety’s Smart911 is a public/private partnership creating a fi rst-of-its-kind, critical caller database that is already helping citizens and emergency responders across 20 states. Currently, when 9-1-1 receives a call, only a phone number and minimal levels of location data are displayed. With Smart 911, citizens create safety profi les online consisting of additional data about themselves and family members which is automatically displayed to 9-1-1 dispatchers during emer-gency calls. The result is far greater emergency response effectiveness and saved lives. “Having more information is an immeasurable benefi t to emergency responders and we encourage citizens to create Smart911 safety profi les,” said Brian Black, Director of Crockett County E-911. “These can detail medi-cal conditions and disabilities that help dispatchers understand why a caller might be uncommunicative, expedit-ing and supporting EMT response. They can let fi re crews know not only how many residents are at a home, but locations of bedrooms. Police can be alerted to potential threats and photos can be available to facilitate the search for a missing child. In an emergency, more information means greater effectiveness, saving invaluable time and lives.” Smart911 is a nation-wide service that is entirely private and secure. Paid for by the Crockett County Emer-gency Communications District, citizens can create safety profi les at www.Smart911.com, entering vital data they want made available on themselves and family members, a residence, even pets. This can include data on medical conditions, disabilities and/or special needs, children’s photos, home addresses of cellphone callers, fl oor plans

For this month’s Tractor Talk, we speak with Danny Hutchison of Crockett Mills. About ten years ago, Hutchison and his son, Brad, purchased a 1949 MT John Deere through the estate of personal acquaintance Clive Stewart. Stewart had purchased the tractor new in Crockett County, on March 8, 1951. “The thing that’s unique to [the trac-tor] is the documentation,” Hutchison states. “I have the original Bill of Sale that tells the price [$2,300], and horse-drawn equipment that were traded in on it.” All of the documents, includ-ing the original owner’s manual, is in very good condition. “It’s just some-thing we pull the grandkids around in, and just get it out and use it on spe-cial occasions,” says Hutchison of the John Deere. “I have a little trailer that complements it.” Hutchison enjoys collecting an-tique items, whether they are tractors or other pieces. “I like older things to look at and have sitting around,” he states. The 1949 MT John Deere is just one of Hutchison’s restored tractors. Right now he’s got several other tractors that are “works in progress.” “It’s not something that you start today and fi nish next week, because pieces and parts are hard to fi nd, so it may take you a year or two to complete a project,” he explains. One of his restored tractors is a thirty-year-old 4320 John Deere, which he uses every day. “One that I’m really proud of is a 1468 International with a V8 diesel engine. Wasn’t but 2300 of these tractors made,” he says. By: Kim Stolarick

History of Norris Logging
1103 Norris Crossing Road - Bells, TN 38006(731) 780-2487
Since the 1850’s, the Norris family has been involved in West Tennessee timber management and harvesting. For five generations, our family has been a part of the timber business in the area. It all began in the 1850’s
when W.S. Norris moved to West Tennessee from Virginia. With 3,000 acres W.S. began working with the woodland to provide tim-ber for a growing West Tennessee region. Through the next four generations, the Norris family has been growing and harvesting timber. For the past 18 years my name has been on the business, and with that comes the responsibility of upholding a family legacy of five generations of Norris integrity.

FAST FACTSTOP 5 HEALTH TIPS OF THE MONTH
Father’s Day is right around the corner and that means many children, spouses and other family members will be scrambling to locate the perfect gifts for the men in their lives. Put away those coupons for neckties and remote control cad-dies. There’s a good chance Dad wants something a little less cliche and more in tune with his interests. If you think carefully about gift ideas, there’s bound to be something that will be a perfect fi t.
Sports If Dad follows a particular team or sport, gifts inspired by his love of a favorite team are a surefi re bet for success. Team jersies, game memorabilia, tickets to the next at-home game, or an expanded satellite dish or cable TV sports programming package are some gift ideas that will coordinate with a sports theme. Some dads also may be content to simply hit the links or spend a few hours at the batting cages.
Personalized Gifts Personalized gifts can show that special man in your life that you care about him in a special way. Instead of a run-of-the-mill item pulled off a store shelf, a personalized gift can feature a name, date or sentiment right on the gift itself. Think about giving Dad a personal-ized plaque that designates his work area in the garage or a pocket lighter or photo frame engraved with a special message or his name. An embroidered bath robe, or a golf bag embroidered with his initials may also be a special treat.
Fit for Foodies As the adage goes, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” Take advantage of these words of wisdom by gifting your Dad with food or culinary-themed items. Dad may be an amateur chef and will enjoy a cookbook by his favorite Food Network(TM) personality. Or he may have a restaurant he insists on going to all the time, so guaranteeing a gift card to said restaurant will be a hit. If Dad appreciates not only the taste, but also the culture of food, plan a tour of food shops in the area or go on a wine- and cheese-tasting adventure.
Gear Heads Some dads get revved up about automotive gifts, especially if they spend the weekends pampering their prized cars or trucks. If he tends to have a wrench in hand and head under the hood, treat your father to some new supplies for his automotive pursuits. Quality car waxes and upholstery cleaners are always in demand. Or give him a gift certifi cate to his favorite hand-wash, auto-detailing center. Gas station gift cards or a new ratchet set are other good auto gift ideas.
Techies Some dads get excited about the latest tablets or smartphones. They may keep abreast of virus-detection software or think the tech-nological gadgets sold in those speciality magazines and mall stores are must-haves. Chances are if you spend enough time with Dad you know just what he likes to dabble in, and you can get him an elec-tronic device he’ll fi nd invaluable. Although it may seem diffi cult on the surface to fi nd a gift for Dad that he truly will enjoy and use, all it takes is a close examination of his likes to fi nd something appropriate.
Great gift ideas for Dad Happy Fathers Day

Joyner Studios held its First Annual Exhibit and Reception on Sunday, May 20 from 1 to 3 at the Activity Building behind Alamo City School gym. Over sixty attendees enjoyed over 130 pieces of artwork produced by Paige Joyner’s students. This school year’s students included Ella Legions, Owen Gibson, Kate Evans, Summar Eskew, Paul Gauldin, Robyn Evans, Hayes O’Donnell, Ashton McCage, Tommy McDonald, Jake Williams,KathyKail, Pat Riley, Cherri Ray, and Tana Williams. Many mediums were represented by drawings in graphite, oil pastel, colored pencil, markers, plus paintings in watercolor and tempera. There were collages and two types of prints as well as sculpture in wire, Model Magic clay, Magic Nuudles, foil and mixed me-dia. Mrs. Joyner welcomed everyone briefl y by drawing attention to the many interesting things to look at and learn about. They were encouraged to read project descriptions and ask students about their work. They enjoyed cake and punch and live guitar music by Daniel Joyner as they mingled around the gallery space, which was a newly-renovated professional development area at the school. Artwork hung on freshly-painted warm white walls and rested on black-draped pedestals scattered throughout the room. It was truly a gal-
lery environment with a friendly atmosphere. Music teacher, Deborah McLean commented that she was proud to be a part of the county’s fi rst “gallery experi-ence” that she could remember. Many parents, grandparents and friends were also pleasantly surprised. Many, including some of the students, admitted to not knowing what to expect.
On Monday, ACS students’ last day of school, Ms. McLean brought over several groups of students to the exhibit where Ms. Joyner taught them briefl y about museums, galleries, proper etiquette at such a place, and how a docent is there to help. Only a few indicated having ever been inside an art museum or gallery before. They were quite interested in the different mediums—some because they had used similar things in art class at school, and some because they had never seen it before. Mrs. Joyner teaches at Alamo City School as the Artist-in-Residence thanks to grant funds awarded by the Tennessee Arts Commission and due to a gift from the ACS PTO. She has been able to teach all grades, pre-k through sixth grade since the spring of 2007. Mrs. Joyner and Ms. McLean are awaiting results from next year’s grant which they wrote earlier this winter. News will be announced in the late summer. Mrs. Joyner is planning to offer tuition-based classes again in the fall. She will try offer different types of one- session and/or short-session classes as well, perhaps starting during the summer depending on interest. She in-vites you to call her for more information, to sign up, and to discuss the types of art you would like to do. You can reach her at 696-2691 or at [email protected] or on Facebook.

For some children, it can take a while to decide what they want to do when they “grow up.” There are even adults who are still trying to fi gure that out. Thirteen-year-old Jeremy Holland doesn’t have a specifi c plan yet, but he knows one thing: he wants to spend his life serving the Lord. “I was saved when I was seven. I had always wanted to be in the military, but I didn’t really think about preaching until I was eight or nine,” states Jeremy. “And it really got to me, a sermon that I lis-tened to. It really touched me, and I felt that was what God wanted me to do in my life.” The sermon Jeremy refers to was given by Maury Davis, who was convicted of fi rst degree murder during his early adulthood. During his eight and a half years in prison, Maury became a Christian. After his release, he devoted himself to God and the church. He went on to become the current senior pastor at Cor-nerstone Church in Madison, TN. Jeremy was inspired by Maury’s testimony. “I had already felt like I might be getting the calling, [and the sermon] just made me feel like that’s what God wanted me to be.”
In 2010, Jeremy and his family began attending Gadsden United Methodist Church. One day, Reverend Glenn Elliott ap-proached Jeff and Sheila about their son submitting a manuscript for the 2011 Memphis Conference of the United Methodist Church. “At fi rst, I turned the idea down,” recalls Jeremy. “I said I didn’t want to do it. And then a couple of weeks later, my dad brought it up one more time and said, ‘Are you sure you don’t want to do this?’ After I had thought over it and thought over it, and I prayed about it, I felt like God really wanted me to try this, so I tried it.” Jeremy submitted his manuscript, and a couple of weeks later he was notifi ed that his message had been selected among the other submissions. “What’s so remarkable about it is that he was twelve, and this went to age twenty-one,” Jeff remarks. “He beat out some people who are a whole lot older and a whole lot more mature. He is the only twelve year old to ever win this.” On June 7, 2011 at the Carson Center in Paducah, KY, Jeremy stood up in front of a crowd of approximately one thousand to give his Young People’s Address for the Memphis Conference. His message answered the question, “What does the church need to know about young people and ministry with young people?” His speech included statistics from a poll that he took in local churches. “There were quite a few churches we went to. We asked them what they thought the children wanted and needed from church,” he says of the poll-taking. “We let the children answer, because it wouldn’t have made any sense if we let the adults answer.” He continues: “We read the responses, and it was amazing what the kids had put down; they put down some really cool stuff, stuff that I had never thought of.” At the end of his message, Jeremy received a standing ovation. “I felt like I didn’t know how many people I was talking to. Looking out into the crowd I felt like I was talking to three hundred people, so it numbed my nerves down,” he says of his experience. “And I went up there to speak, and God just took over. It didn’t feel like I was speaking, it felt like God was speaking through me, and using me to tell them what needed to be told. It was a really amazing experience.” Since the conference, Jeremy has delivered his message to at least a dozen churches. “It’s been a joy,” says Sheila. “All of the pastors have asked for this message, and they wanted their youth and their elders to hear this message,” Jeff states. “I’ve liked meeting all of the people that I’ve met, and making some new friends,” Jeremy says with a smile. “It’s really been inter-esting just to go around and see how the other Methodist churches did things, because I had never been to any other Methodist church.” He also spoke at a youth camp in Halls, although with a different message. “I didn’t feel like you would want to talk to the youth about what the youth already know,” he says matter-of-factly. Shortly after the conference, Jeremy also became a certifi ed Lay Speaker, which made him the youngest Lay Speaker in the Memphis Conference. Jeremy Holland is a passionate young man who possesses a natural charisma that enables him to be a great speaker, but he is very humble about his gifts and abilities. “I’m not doing it for the glory of me, or the glory of our family and our church,” he says fi rmly. “I’m doing it for the glory of God. I don’t want any credit for it because God laid it on my heart to speak about this. God kept me going all the way through it.” You can view Jeremy’s message at: youtube.com/watch?v=d3xMskssbcA. It is a two part video (you will have the option to view part two at the conclusion of the fi rst video).By: Kim Stolarick
