anticipate that the county will run short of money in the General Fund to meet normal operational expenses unless they take some immediate preventative action.

For that reason, the County Commission will this week consider issuing a Tax Anticipation Note for $1 million.

The money would come from the county Debt Service Fund, according to a resolution that will voted on when the Commission meets in special night session Tues., Oct. 12 at 6 p.m. in Trenton.

Tax Anticipation Notes are short-term debt securities that are issued with the understanding that a certain amount of taxes will be collected within an appreciable period of time.

Marilyn Greene Williamson is a candidate for alderman for the city of Dyer in the November 2 election.

“Because I care!” That’s Williamson’s concern and desire as she works toward the November election date. “I want to run because I care what happens in Dyer. I moved to Dyer 30 years ago due to the inviting surroundings and the wonderfully good people,” Williamson states concerning her desire to be elected. “I may not have all the immediate answers to local concerns, but I promise to find a workable solution to as many of those concerns as I can.”

“A favorite quote of mine,” continued Williamson, “is ‘to celebrate life like someone forgot to lock the gat!’ Well, I want Dyer to

Robert Johnson is announcing his candidacy for reelection as alderman for the city of Dyer.

“I would like to take this opportunity to say that for the past 16 years I have worked on every committee; fire committee, health committee, police committee, park and personnel committee as chairman and no chairman of pubic works, water and sewer. I have 16 years of knowledge and experience in the city’s government and that gives a greater responsibility to the city of Dyer. I have great concerns for the community,” said Johnson.

Johnson has been married to his wife Sarah for 40 years. They have a son, Terrell Johnson, and two grandsons. They moved to Dyer in

educating the local workforce.

Those were the areas of focus when County Mayor Tom Witherspoon hosted the Industrial Liaison Committee and guest speakers in Trenton Oct. 5.

The two-hour session addressed regional efforts to recruit industry and educate workers. Speakers included Brett Fisher, Gen. Mgr. of Trenton utilities; Tony Burriss, Trenton Mayor; Richard Ayers, Chief Financial Officer, Jones Co; Joe Barker, Exec. Director Southwest Tenn. Development District; Lisa Hankins, Director of REDI (Regional Economic Development Initiative Southwest Tenn. Development District); and Mayor Witherspoon.

Witherspoon said he was disappointed with the small turnout of about 15 people. Just three county commissioners attended: Allen Barker and Marvin Sikes of Humboldt and Greg Stone of Dyer. But Witherspoon and others were excited about the initiative.

“This is the first meeting of the Industrial Liaison Committee, so we’re making history,” he said. Allen

The board’s 6-0 vote in their favor p r o p e l l e d the Hornet supporters to break out in applause.

Supt. Robert G a l l o w a y recommended the board approve the purchase of lights not to exceed $150,000. He cited research

SAYING THANKS - Angie Lowery, president of the South Gibson Touchdown Club, thanked GCSD Director of Schools Robert Galloway for his recommendation that the board approve the purchase of stadium lights for the SGCHS football field. Board members voted unanimously to not exceed $150,000 on the purchase and were applauded for their decision by several Hornet football supporters.

House Joint Resolution No. 962 was presented to officials of the Town of Rutherford by State Representative Curtis Halford and State Senator Lowe Finney to commemorate the Sesquicentennial of the Town of Rutherford during its 43rd Annual Davy Crockett Days.

A large crowd gathered at the Davy Crockett cabin prior to the grand parade for the presentation of the resolution recognizing Rutherford’s 150th year as an incorporated town. On hand for the presentation was former Tennessee Governor Winfield Dunn. Accepting the resolution were Rutherford Mayor Keith Caldwell, cabin curator Joe Bone, alderpersons Kathy Keith, and Sandy Comstock.

The resolution states as follows:Whereas, it is fitting that the elected officials

of the State of Tennessee should pause to pay tribute to those noteworthy communities that have contributed significantly to the growth and prosperity of this state and its local economies and

Whereas the citizens of the town of Rutherford are most assuredly deserving of special recognition as they celebrate the 150th anniversary of the

incorporation of their fair city; andWhereas located in northwest Tennessee in

scenic Gibson County, the Town of Rutherford was incorporated on February 28, 1860, by Chapter 88 of the Private Acts of the 1859-1860 General Assembly; and

Whereas presently home to more than 1,200 residents, Rutherford was the last home of the legendary frontiersman Davy Crockett, who served in the Tennessee General Assembly and resided in Rutherford during his tenure as United States Congressman from 1827 to 1831, prior to his death at the Alamo on March 6, 1836; and

Whereas a replica of Davy Crockett’s cabin and the grave of his mother Rebecca Crockett become attractions every year when Rutherford hold its annual “Davy Crockett Days” festival, a week-long celebration of the life and times of Davy Crockett and the pioneer spirit; and

Whereas the Town of Rutherford is truly one of the great communities in Tennessee and has been catalyst for positive change in our state and nations; and

Whereas, it is appropriate that the members of

BY MICHAEL ENOCHSDuring the regularly

scheduled monthly meeting of the Kenton City Council this past October 5, Mayor John Maughan announced that the city’s project to bring in new manufacturing jobs and to sell the former Plastec factory building, the former USM factory building has finally paid off. Larry Page of Mason Hall has purchased the Plastec, and USM buildings by for the price of $275,000. Page has plans to start up a wood chip and fertilizer processing operation in the former Plastec factory and to rent out the former USM property to another manufacturing company in the near future. The fertilizer and wood chip operation will employ over 20 workers and will be up and running by the first of next year.

Maughan reported that the revenues returning to the city on the sale of the two manufacturing buildings have resulted in stopping the intended rise in property tax in the city. The city has also caught up on paying its bills.

Maughan also stated that

the old Simon’s Station property has been leased on a ten-year contract for the purpose of having a restaurant or some other food related business.

During the citizens grievances brought before the board, former mayor Virginia Davidson asked if the city’s last month’s bills had been paid. Maughan replied that the city had paid what it could. Alderperson Shirley Clark showed Davidson copies of the last month’s payments.

As the council discussed

new business, Davidson asked about the city’s new budget. Maughan reported that MTAS was helping with the city’s new budget and that David Angerer was not finished with it.

The council passed Resolution 2010-3, which deals with inspections for the state. It was also announced that the Kenton Police Department has received a Governor’s Highway Safety grant. The city council voted to keep its activities for Halloween on Sunday night October 31.

Crockett Days’ weeklong celebration honoring the famous frontiersman concluded in Rutherford last Saturday. It was a very busy event filled week beginning with the opening ceremony and tour of homes on Sunday and concluding with the grand parade and music on the cabin porch.

Galloway also told the board that the City of Medina spent $2.5 million on a sports complex that includes baseball, softball and soccer fields with lights and restrooms that the city is allowing the schools to use at no charge.

“We have the money available for the lights,” he said. “Our budget is in better shape than we thought based on some money we’ve received from the state. I’m proud of the board for what you’ve done, and I firmly believe this is something we need to do.”

Board member Greg Morris was absent.

The board also heard updates and growth projections from the maintenance, transportation, technology and curriculum directors.

Dewayne French, head of maintenance, said that the school district enjoyed a relatively uneventful start to the school year, but the heat and dry soil have led to several leaks in underground water pipes.

French outlined several projects that need to be completed within the next three years but said the most pressing is replacing a 300 sq. ft. section of roof at Rutherford school. He estimated the cost at around $4800.

Chad Jackson, Transportation Director, said the district will need to purchase seven buses in the next two years, four in 2010-11 and three in 2012-13. He explained that school buses can be used for 15 years unless the state inspector grants a two-year extension and that each bus must stay under 200,000 miles.

“The major concern I have is as we replace buses is to make sure we purchase enough to have a couple of

spare buses for athletics and other events,” Jackson said.

Lynn Tucker addressed the board regarding technology. He said the district will need to improve its infrastructure and hardware in the coming years to handle network and Internet traffic and to become a wireless school system.

Tucker estimated costs for internal wiring at every school except SGCHS at $225,000 and the wireless project at $25,000. He noted that researchers and technology developers are warning schools against simply buying more computers and emphasizing using more non-traditional computers such as cell phones and iPads.

Galloway updated the board on curriculum strengths and weaknesses, highlight six factors: staff development and training for teachers, using data to drive instruction, collaboration, technology, pre- and post-test assessments, and making principals the curriculum leaders of their schools.

Galloway said education has changed drastically since he was in school, and teachers can no longer “teach to the group” but must individualize their instruction.

“We’re getting the message across, but it needs to be ongoing,” he said.

He also said the district must continue to use data to help improve student test scores, and teachers need to do a better job of challenging upper level students.

In the area of collaboration, Galloway noted major improvements but said there’s still ground to be made. He made similar remarks regarding technology.

“We’re on the right path, but we’re no where near where we need to be,” he said. “We want our teachers to get out of the pattern of using textbooks that are six years old when we’ve

got technology that’s 20 minutes old. Textbooks are a resource.”

Galloway bragged on his principals and their willingness to embrace their roles as curriculum leaders and said student test scores show the strategy is working.

He warned the board against needlessly changing strategies every couple of years and encouraged them to stick with the research-based instruction.

“I firmly believe what we’re doing is working,” he said. “I’m proud of what our principals and teachers are doing.”

Barker, mayor of Humboldt, was elected Chair of the Liaison Committee.

Most of the meeting centered on REDI’s College Access Program, which helps high school grads gain further education and scholarships. REDI trains local mentors to help youth navigate the application and financial aid maze.

The County Commission will consider contributing $10,000 to REDI. Trenton and the Gibson Co. Gas Utility District have already invested in the program. All of the speakers Tuesday supported REDI and the importance of educating the labor force.

“Educational attainment is the foundation for a strong workforce,” said Lisa Hankins. She said between 2008 and 2018, new jobs in Tennessee requiring postsecondary education and training will grow by 194,000. In the year 2018, 54% of all jobs in Tennessee (1.8 million jobs) will require some postsecondary training beyond high school.

Local students are missing out on college scholarship money, said leaders. “Over one million dollars in scholarships was left on the table last year,” said Witherspoon. “It looks

like we’re undereducated and that we don’t care. I’m behind this program (REDI) one hundred and ten percent. It’s something that should have been done a long time ago.”

“This is a vital program for us,” added Brett Fisher. “I believe in it so strongly that we (Trenton Light & Water) are putting money into it to make it happen.”

Fisher is president of the West TN Industrial Assoc., on the county Industrial Development Board, and a member of a 9-county TaP (Targeted and Prepared Community) board promoting economic development. He said he often meets with industrial prospects who visit Gibson Co. and hears concerns about an undereducated workforce.

“They come in with preconceived notion that we have a poor, unmotivated workforce and an education system that is not generating the level of workforce they need,” said Fisher.

Joe Barker, former Asst. State Commissioner for Tenn. Tomorrow and Savannah mayor, said the missing piece in improving Tennessee’s workforce is education. “Education is the holy grail,” said Barker. “Somewhere we figured out that education

is economic development; you can’t separate them. You cannot have economic development until you improve the workforce.”

“I’ve been dreaming of this; it is a super important step in our county,” added Trenton Mayor Tony Burriss. “We have a problem with our workforce. We’ve got to quit thinking like we were twenty-five years ago. We’re going to make our workforce better.”

Richard Ayers said the program needs mentors. “We have so many students who are hungry for help and we need more mentors,” he said. “I can’t tell you how many students in Gibson Co. need this help.”

Ayers said some families have no experience with the difficult process of college applications, financial aid and admission.

In Gibson Co. 217 students and 50 mentors had enrolled in the REDI program. Gibson Co. High School had the highest student total – 75. Milan had only 9 students enrolled.

“We need your help to promote this program,” said Lisa Hankins.

For more information contact Beverly Vos, Director of the Gibson Co. program by email: bvos@swtdd.org or phone: 731-668-6449.

GROWING GIBSON COUNTY – Leaders of the West Tennessee REDI (REDI Regional Economic Development Initiative) program met with Gibson Co. leaders Oct. 5 to discuss ways to educate the workforce and help students receive scholarship and financial aid. Pictured are (from left) Joe Barker, Exec. Director Southwest Tenn. Development District; Gibson Co.

“For the past 16 years I have worked with the mayors and boards and will continue to work with them as long as needed. This year has been a difficult year. There have

been some hard decisions made for Dyer. But with the grace of God and prayer, it will get better. Thank you for the past years but now I’m asking for your help for November 2 election. Please vote for me, Robert Johnson, for alderman of the City of Dyer. Thank you and God bless you,” said Johnson

celebrate life as the quote states. I want us to keep open our gate and let everything that could possibly come into the gate make its way into our community. I would like to downtown Dyer revitalized. I know there are grants available for this improvement. I would also like to see Dyer cleaned up. By cleaning up we can improve the personality of our town. We all know that we feel better when

we wear new clothes, so why not clean up Dyer and bring the charm of it back to us as we give it a new face. Most importantly, I would like to see employment opportunities improve. By having our gate open and by making improvements, I hope we can attract industry.”

Williamson is not a one-talent woman. Having worked in banking in Bradford and Trenton, at the City Hall in Trenton, and at

Gibson County High School and Dyer School, she has shown her diversity in the business word.

Most recently, Marilyn retired from her position as Greater Gibson County Chamber of Commerce Director, a position she held for eight years. She was encouraged to return as interim director for a two-year period. While director Marilyn learned how important it is to work with state and local

governments. However, much more important to her was listening to, seeing, and learning the need of individuals. She feels these valuable lessons will help in her job as alderwoman.

Marilyn is a West Star graduate, a leadership program directed to helping people become more aware of leadership roles, expectations, and responsibilities. Her training through the UTM program, allowed her to train more than 300 adults and teenagers. Marilyn is a graduate of Rutherford High School and Draughn’s Business School in Memphis.

Williamson’s children, Brett Greene and Marty Greene, have given her six grandchildren. Her husband is Ronnie Williamson. She is a member of the First Baptist Church in Dyer.

“I feel it is very important for us to work together in these difficult times for the betterment of Dyer and its surrounding communities. This position is not an hour meeting but one I will work on continually in my position as alderwoman. So, let’s leave Dyer’s gate open as the quote states and get to work because I care,” said Williamson.

collaboration in 12 West Tennessee counties. REDI’s goal is to create a public/private sector partnership in West Tennessee to address issues that affect job creation, educational attainment levels and quality of life for its citizens.

REDI would train local mentors who could provide information to students about post secondary education opportunities, including $1.5M in local, unclaimed scholarships last year. Several county leaders support the program. $5,000 was donated by the Gibson Co. Utility District and $2,500 by the City of Trenton.

The county’s $10,000 cost would come from reserves designated for economic and industrial development.

“This $10,000 is not creating a new expenditure,” said Mayor Witherspoon. “We’re just moving money from reserves and earmarking it.”

Health Dept. addition – The county has received a state grant of nearly $500,000 to renovate the Health Department in order to provide more efficient services and privacy to people in the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program. WIC serves women who are pregnant, breastfeeding or postpartum, along with infants-children up to age 5 who meet eligibility criteria.

The Gibson Co. Mayor’s office submitted a request in April, 2010 to the Dept. of Health requesting $499,860 for renovations necessary to provide more efficient services and privacy to WIC participants.

Contributions to nonprofit groups – Commission will take a second and final vote on appropriating about $36,000 to local nonprofit organizations. The largest allocation is $12,375 for the Patterson Training and Rehabilitation Center. Humboldt Rescue Squad would get $5,000, and the Humboldt Education Center and Dyersburg State Community College $2,500 each.

The Jackson Area Council on Alcoholism and Aspell Recovery Center would each receive $2,375.

Gibson County Sheriff’s Investigators and the State Fire Marshall’s office have conducted a joint investigation into several suspicious fires occurring across north Gibson County. Grass fields, hay bales, farm equipment and a barn have suffered fire damage during the last few months.

As a result of the investigation, Gordon

A recent news story receiving national attention concerning a South Fulton house allowed to burn since property owners had not paid a rural fire subscription fee has prompted Gibson County Fire Chief Carman Lannom to issue the following statement: “Everyone in the county is covered with fire protection.

Elementary School last Thursday night, the Gibson County School District Board of Trustees approved updates to its Student Discrimination/Harassment and Bullying/Intimidation policy, which included a new incident report form.

Michelle Goad, Supervisor of Instruction, presented the policy and explained that recent anti-bullying laws as well as a need to create and adopt a uniform report led to the updates.

“We want the [incident report from] to be as simple for teachers and principals to fill out as possible,” she said. “We also want kids to realize there are different types of harassment.”

The policy outlines forms of harassment including sexual harassment and bullying as well as

Sara Lee North American Supply Chain announced the Newbern facility was named Sara Lee Plant of the Year for fiscal 2010. The award is an esteemed internal honor that recognizes one facility for its achievements in several areas, including safety, environmental practices and overall performance.

“We’re so proud to receive this prestigious award,” said Mark Porter, plant manager of the Newbern facility. “It’s a testament to the commitment and dedication from all of our employees, and I’m incredibly proud to be a part of this team. The Newbern facility is a representation of our employees’ dedication to

excellence, and we will work to continue to improve on the performance for which we have been recognized.”

Operating since 1988, the Newbern facility is currently the largest employer in Dyer County with approximately 800 employees.

“Mark Porter led his facility to an outstanding year,” said John McAndrew, vice president of operations, Sara Lee North American Supply Chain. “The Newbern team truly demonstrated their commitment to manufacturing high-quality products for our consumers and customers.”

Employees at the Newbern plant are also invested in supporting

the local community and county of Dyer. In fact, the facility is the second largest contributor to the United Way in Western Tennessee.

“We are thankful to the Newbern employees for their continued commitment to improving lives,” said Alan H. Turner II, president of the United Way of West Tennessee branch. “The people at Sara Lee are truly dedicated to partnering with United Way to provide significant support to our local programs, and their dedication aids in strengthening the Newbern and West Tennessee community. We congratulate the Newbern facility on this achievement.”

procedures for preventing and reporting harassment.

The incident report form also lists various types of harassment including name calling, stalking, staring/leering, taunting/ridiculing, inappropriate touching, demeaning comments, and intimidation/extortion. Persons reporting incidents are encouraged to include any physical evidence found such as notes, e-mails or website postings. Goad said the form will also help school officials track students who are being bullied repetitively or bullying more than one student.

“This is a hot-button issue right now,” Supt. Robert Galloway said. “We need to make a stand on it. You can’t just say these things happen. “This policy puts us in a much better position. I’m very comfortable with it.”

The board also approved

bids from Atlas Greenhouse in Georgia to build a greenhouse at South Gibson County and Gibson County High School for $46,944 each. The district received a grant to cover the costs. Atlas Greenhouse will build a 30x48 concrete-floor structure at each high school. The school district must provide all the prep work and utilities.

Board members approved the purchase of a 2009 and 2008 Chevy Express and a 2007 Dodge Ram for the maintenance department for $40,000 from a Memphis dealer who found the vehicles from a fleet company in Arkansas.

Terry Cunningham, Director of Finance, said all three vehicles come with new tires.

Kelli Carroll, Coordinate School Health coordinator, updated the board on early periodic screening diagnosis offered through LeBonheur’s On the Move Student Health program with funding from LeBonheur and the Children’s Health Fund.

Carroll said the district is currently scheduled for eight days and will screen 12 students per day. The program targets uninsured children. LeBonheur provides the district with a list of physicians and specialists that treat uninsured children so the district can refer students.

GCSD board approves bullying policy updates

Lannom stated the department has received a number of calls inquiring about this matter since the story broke. “Some of the cities in the county do have subscription rates, but that does not leave anybody out. The county department will respond if called,” the chief said. Both the county department and city departments do supply mutual aid if the fire warrants it,” he said.

Lannom added, “If we answer a call to a fire and the property owner has insurance, we will bill the insurance company, not the property owner who sustained the fire loss. We don’t ask if they are insured before responding.”

Lannom reminded that due to the unusually dry conditions, state forestry officials are requiring burn permits. The no burn period will extend until May 15, 2011.

supper was held last week at the home of William G. McFarland for State Representative Curtis Halford. Attending the event was Tennessee Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey.

McFarland welcomed approximately 30 Halford supporters to his home that he shares with his beloved dog Buster. “I want to welcome you all and I hope you feel right at home while you are here. Our door is

McFarland for hosting the event. “It is good to have friends. I love serving the people of District 79 and appreciate everything that’s been done for me. I’m moved by the financial support. I was a greenhorn freshman when I went to Nashville and Ron Ramsey took me in and helped me. He’s now my friend and I appreciate all he’s done for me.”

Ramsey said he had been

in legislature since 1992 when Paul Phelan was the District 79 representative. “Then came Chris Crider who ran and won. When he decided not to run I thought we would lose the seat back to a Democrat. Thankfully we elected Curtis. He is just getting better and better. He hit the ground running and was soon a veteran. We’ve been friends from day one. We really hit it off and I thank all of you for helping make sure he’s back in Nashville,” said Ramsey.

Letter to the Editor:

No cuts in education spending

The Tri-City Reporter, Thursday, Wednesday, October 13, 2010 Page 5

Heard any good jokes lately? No? Well maybe it’s because you’ve gotten too old to appreciate them. For several years now, researchers have known that older people have a harder time “getting” jokes than the rest of the population, but a British study just released suggests a specific age at which we lose our sense of humor.

And it’s a lot earlier than was previously thought. It’s 52. That’s the age researchers say we turn into grumpy old men and women. In England there’s even a name for this phenomenon. It’s called “Victor Meldrow syndrome.” Victor Meldrow was a character on the popular British situation comedy, “One Foot in the Grave,”who constantly complained and whined. The series, and especially “Victor” was so popular that it became common in England to refer to a complainer as a “Victor Meldrow.”

But until the last few years it was thought that the idea of the crotchety old man or woman was an unfair stereotype, just another way society at large practices the particular form of prejudice known as “ageism.”

But three years ago, researchers at Washington University in St. Louis found that people over 65 have a

America is at a crossroads with education: one in three kids drop out of high school, and China and India are beating our children in fields like math and science. This is why an unprecedented push to reform our schools has been embarked upon.

Last year, Democrat and Republican leaders from Tennessee sat down with one another, put politics aside and worked collaboratively for the benefit of Tennessee’s children in order to be one of the first states to receive 500 million dollars in federal monies in order to revitalize Tennessee’s struggling schools.

Now, under the guise of cutting “unnecessary” spending, Stephen Fincher wants to abolish the U.S. Dept. of Education, which is a viewpoint that is totally out of the mainstream for the majority of people. Fincher apparently thinks this is wasted money, and it seems that he also thinks Tennessee’s schools should languish in the rear of the field in education.

Multimillionaire Stephen

Republican congressional candidate Stephen Fincher has announced the endorsement of his candidacy by National Right to Life.

The Tennessee Professional Fire Fighter Association (TPFFA) announced today its endorsement of candidate Joe Shepard, a candidate in the 79th House District.

“The Tennessee Professional Fire Fighter Association is proud to endorse Joe Shepard,” said Eddie Mitchell, TPFFA state president. “Joe has expressed strong support for Tennessee’s Fire Fighters and EMS workers. The TPFFA advocates for positive legislation for Tennessee Fire and Emergency Services Professionals. We look forward to working with Joe on legislation impacting the fire fighting and emergency medical services professions

tougher time understanding both verbal and visual jokes than does the rest of the population. They had study participants finish jokes and cartoon strips by choosing the correct punch line of jokes and final frames of cartoon strips from among four choices. Not surprisingly, older participants were less likely to come up with correct answers.

But that, of course, begs the question of just who’s to say what is funny and what is not, and what, exactly, is a sense of humor. Well, a sense of humor is the ability to appreciate, and to some degree to express, the humorous, and the researchers were trying to identify factors that allow some older people to maintain their senses of humor while others seem to lose every bit of theirs.

Why do we need to know this? Well perhaps most important, the better a person’s sense of humor, the longer and healthier his or her life is likely to be.

Because laughter, it seems, is good for us. It burns calories; it strengthens abdominal muscles, it releases endorphins and boosts our immune systems. Among those with serious illnesses, survival rates are greatest for those patients with the best senses of

humor.Studies have shown that

students learn more from teachers who have good senses of humor, and in business, employees have been shown to be more productive when working under the direction of managers who have good senses of humor.

There are the obvious social benefits, as well as sociological ones. And we’ve known for many years that a good sense of humor can help us adjust to traumatic, life-changing events.

What we haven’t known, however, is that we each begin to lose our sense of humor, almost from birth. Babies, it seems, are born with an innate sense of humor, laughing as many as 300 times a day.

But every year of our lives, we laugh a little less. By the time those giggling babies are teenagers, they only laugh, on average, six times a day.

And it gets worse. The figure falls to four when people are in their 20’s. It goes up to five for people in their 30’s. Why? Forty-seven percent say it’s because of small children in their homes.

But then the figure drops again when people hit their 40’s, and by the time

they are 50, they laugh, on average, only three times a day. By age 60 that figure drops to 2.5.

And as we laugh less, we complain and quarrel more. People over 60 write nearly twice the number of letters of complaint that people in their 20’s do. People in their 50’s are nearly twice as likely to have a row with their neighbors as younger people are, and they spend

more time per day (one hour and 41 minutes) worrying, than any other age group.

And wouldn’t you know it? Men are twice as grumpy in their 50’s as their female counterparts, and by their 60’s, they are four times more cantankerous.

Now goodness knows, there are plenty of good reasons to be cantankerous these days, but scientific proof and common sense tell

us there are better ones not to be. Laughter may not be the best medicine, but it’s still a darned good one.

So lighten up guys. Who knows? In addition to making you feel better, and possibly extending your life, you might just brighten up someone else’s day in the process.

And if that doesn’t make you feel better, you’re hopeless.

Fincher knows there are problems with our education system, so he took his kids out of them, and sent them to affluent private schools. I don’t have disdain for him doing this; but for the 95% of us who can’t afford to send our kids to private schools, he should explain how abolishing this department would benefit the children in the 8th District.

The answer is simple: it will devastate our local public schools, especially

in Gibson County where we have nothing but public schools, including a new one in Medina that is “bursting at the seams.”

Both candidates are right, the spending must stop, but Fincher is wrong on exactly where we should start cutting first. He doesn’t want to fix our education problems, he wants to cut support for our public schools and run from the problem.

There’s mischief afootHalloween and elections

are upon us and ghosts, goblins and ghouls are afoot with bags of tricks to extort all of your treats. Coffins have been unearthed; bodies of “evidence” have been exhumed. Skeletons have emerged from deep dark closets; rattled and brought into the spotlight by ghost hunters with dubious credentials.

People have been warned that political opponents are wizards with evil intent or vampires bent on sucking the life out of an unsuspecting public.

The final days of the season bring a frenzy of fear, defamation, extortion and distortion. The skilled politician can cast spells, invoke incantations and engage in pot boiling and stirring, filling the air with vapors of doubt to mesmerize you into voting for the apparitions of their choice.

The test of serious voters is to find the truth behind the black magic of deception. Any candidate engaging in witchcraft should raise

your concerns about their real interest in you and the issues you care about. If they support a political agenda that you would question, be assured they have issues to cover or sugar coat to avoid losing favor.

It’s slight of hand to divert your attention from the other hand in your pocket. They seek your approval to place them in cloistered chambers where there is an unending supply of new blood to feed on, fuel their power, insure their sustenance and protect them from the burning rays of the sun.

Once you’ve invited them

into your home, you must expel them to leave or seek an exorcism People who stand firm on clearly defined issues are needed, not mischief makers afoot seeking favors.

Halloween is a time for the innocence of impish children enjoying their night of fun and personal gratification. Hopefully, bringing joy to children will provide you strength to face November’s decisions!

The world doesn’t have to be a scary place! Don’t you think one night a year is enough mischief?

Treatment Options for BronchiectasisBronchiectasis involves a continuous productive

cough due to an infection. There is blockage of the airways as well as inflammation of the airways. Wheezing, difficulty breathing, and chest pain are symptoms of this condition.Bronchiectasis occurs more commonly in women, and the risk of being affected by the condition increases with age. Cystic fibrosis is a medical condition that can lead to bronchiectasis. Cigarette smoking may also increase the risk of this condition.

Antibiotics may be prescribed for treatment of coughing episodes and to reduce the risk for another infection. Fluoroquinolone antibiotics, such as ciprofloxacin, may be used. Tobramycin (Tobi) is an inhaled antibiotic that may also be prescribed. These medications may also be taken at the same time. Inhaled glucocorticoids, such as fluticasone (Flovent), may be used to reduce inflammation of the airways. For those also affected by cystic fibrosis, dornase alfa (Pulmozyme) may be prescribed. It works to decrease the thickness of mucus, which allows air to flow better through the lungs. Persons with the condition also may be affected by gastroesophageal reflux. A proton pump inhibitor, such as omeprazole (Prilosec), or an H2 blocker, such as cimetidine (Tagamet), may be used for suppression of stomach acid.

Last Saturday night the Kenton Gym was the happening place. The Kenton School faculty, parents, Booster Club and friends were on site hosting their annual Fall Fest.

The large crowd of people present to support the school enjoyed the many activities offered.

Children and adults alike found Fall Fest to be fun and memorable. Games and prizes, hair painting, and the excitingauction, just to name a few activities, served to entertain all who participated, while raising monetary funds for the local school.

Many Kenton citizens were in Rutherford last week to support and enjoy their AnnualDavy Crockett Days.

The week long event had many activities including a parade, talent show, crafts, vendors, pet show and a car show to name a few. A great time was had by all.

Lauren had charge of the children’s sermon. She talked about how christians and M & M’s are alike. Christians are marked by the Holy Spirit as M & M’s are marked. M & M’s come in a variety of colors as Christians have different personalities and backgrounds. The best part of M & M’s are filled with chocolate as Christians are filled with love.

We tend to forget he is King of Kings and Lord of Lords and deserves our respect. How you react to Jesus is how you see him. For salvation you must believe Jesus is the son of God.

We had a beautiful day on the outside and a wonderful day on the inside at St. Paul Sunday morning. Rev. Michelle Skinner delivered a wonderful teaching message. Her topic ‘Leadership within the church’ was found in Acts 6:1-6. She told us how and why the first deacons were chosen in the church. She let us know if we say we are a Christian and have been born again we ate all leaders and should live our lives to line up with the word of God. The male chorus provided the music. Minister Jasmin Williams assisted in the service.

Rev. and Mrs. Pounds were in attendance. He is feeling much better, but is still unable to preach just yet. Minister Timothy White preached at Fairview M.B. Church in Dyer Sunday morning. We were glad to have Teresa Brooks and Sophrina Moore of Nashville and Rayna Dilsworth of Jackson to worship with us.

Harold and Josie Banks spent a few days in Memphis with their daughter Tiffany last week. Betty Belmont and I visited Michelle Skinner in

Collierville Friday. Vivian Moore has moved back into her home that was flooded out in April. We thank God for her finally getting her house repaired.

James Harris is very ill in Jackson General Hospital, his sons, Arvelta Harris of California and Leon Harris of Virginia are with him. Larry and Bessie Caldwell and others have visited him. Remember him in your prayers.

Love and sympathy is extended to Johnny and Demequa Harrell and his family of Humboldt on the death of his sister and her grandbaby who were killed in a car wreck.

Those having birthdays are Yolonda Banks, DeAires Dennis, Kylan Turner and Merrisa Ward.

An “Appreciation Day” service will be held for Rev. Michelle Skinner on Sunday, October 17 at 3 p.m. Rev. Robert Norfolk and Beech Grove M.B. Church of Bradford will be our special guest. Dinner will be served between services. All are welcome. God bless and have a good week.

On Wednesday, October 6 had 21 present, with vice president Jane Forsythe, who led our prayer and blessed the food.

“Happy Birthday” was sung to Doris Holt.

Sympathy was expressed to the Marlar family, Ray Brewer family, Joe Hammond family, Kim Robinson family in the death of brother-in-law, and Brother Stephens from Martin in the death of son and daughter-in-law.

Other health concerns were Dola Acree, Ernice Adams, James C. Barron, Billy Bogle, J.B. Freeze and wife, Alice Rose, Diane Pierce, Donald Lee and Betty Workman, Linda Sue King (Thornton’s wife), Shirley Schull, Tyree and Katie White, Hilda Patterson, and Gayle Reasons. Brother Jerry

Legg led the prayer for all their needs.

Kenneth McEwen led us in singing. “What a Day That Will Be,” “I Am Thine O Lord” and “ Because He Lives”

Kenneth led our special music; it was “He Touched Me.”

Brother DeWayne’s scripture was Philippians 4:1-4, ‘How Are We Doing?’ It is so good to please God.

Our life is to be more than material things her are three points: Rejoice, let your gentle spirit be known to everyone, Relax, we are to live beyond stress, we’re not to worry we are to content in Christ. Remember, I can do all things through Christ, which strengthens me. Philippians 4:13. Brother Dewayne dismissed with prayer.

Dyer Church of Christ By Sabrina Sullivan

Morning worship services had an attendance 104 and 88 in Sunday school.

The message for the morning service came from the book of 1 Corinthians 15:1-8, what if Christ was not raised? Paul wrote to the church at Corinth about the Gospel, the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The church at Corinth had doubts about the resurrection. Do we believe? If Christ had not risen our faith would be futile, we would still be in sin.

The message for the evening service came from the book of Luke 6:20-22, blessed are you when men hate you for the son of man’s sake. Rejoice in that day, your reward will be in heaven. Hatred stirs up strife but love covers all

sins Proverbs 10.Remember in Prayer:

In our Sunday morning service we had two specials. One by Johnny Cavender with Jan and Kelly Zaricor signing to the song.

We also enjoyed a special treat by one of our young people Mary-Alice McKeand.

Bro. Darryl’s message asked the question “ Do you Truly Know Who Jesus Is?” Is He your one and only? Are you sold out to Him? The material things of this world can bring you only a brief moment of happiness. Surrendering your life to God and living in a way that represents Him will give you true happiness. God does not want to be treated like a genie in a bottle that only pops out when you need something. He wants to walk with you

daily through all the ups and downs of your life. To share in your joys and be a comfort in sadness.

The blood of our precious Jesus is the only thing that saves us from the devils hell. The life we live is God’s already so let His love be seen in your actions. Be totally surrendered to Him and one day you will hear “Well done my good and faithful servant.” Upcoming Events: Oct. 15 G.A. Lock-In, Oct. 22 R.A. Camp Out and Nov 7 Harvest Day.

Prayer List: Shirley Pruitt, Pat Chandler, Gary Spencer, Cathy Cavender, Jan Cardwell.

When you feel you’ve given your all in the name of Jesus press on! God Bless!

Lowrance Chapel By Jerry Bell

The Lord has blessed us with the beautiful weather and temperatures for this time of year. But, we may ask; “where’s the rain?” Yes, we do need the rain and we must have faith in our God that it will come. Our topic for discussion for today is “What Does the Bible Say about Attitudes?” Attitude defined is “a person’s prevailing tendency to respond favorably or unfavorably to an object, person, a group or an event”. Practically, it is how we think or feel to be true about things. Attitudes are expressed in several ways; in our facial expressions, tone of voice, behavior or lack of it, in the way we perform a task, in the energy we put into whatever we are doing, and in the interest we have in a person, thing or activity. The power of the attitude is seen in the fact that since it reflects what we believe, it reflects what we are, what we will do, what we will sacrifice, how hard we will work, and how much of ourselves we will give to anything. There is no doubt that attitude is a great determining factor of success. It is true of the work of the church as it is with anything else. Our English word “attitude” is translated in the Bible as: mind, countenance, and the heart. It is a very descriptive word that gives insight into how a person thinks or feels about something or someone. Let us look at a few Biblical examples where attitudes played a very important role.

In 1 Samuel 18:14 we read

“and David behaved wisely in all his ways and the Lord was with him, therefore when Saul saw that he behaved very wisely, he was afraid of him.” The word behaved is an attitude David had and the word wisely is how he behaved. David did what the Lord wanted him to do. In Nehemiah chapter 4 we read about the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem begins and is completed. It says in v.6 “so we built the wall, and the entire wall was joined together up to its height for the people had a mind to work.” What kind of attitude did the people have? They had the “mind to work” In v.15 we read where the wall is completed; “So the walls were finished on the 25th day of Elul, in 52 days.” Why was it finished? It was because the people had the attitude (mind) to work. Paul tells us in Philippians 2: 5-8 that we are to “let this mind (attitude of Christ) be in you.” Again in Ephesians 4:22-23 that “they are to be renewed in the spirit of their mind and that they put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.” Renewed in what kind of mind (attitude)? It is the attitude (mind) of Jesus Christ.

You can’t keep an attitude secret! It will always show in your face, your voice, and your actions. How we look, speak and act are all attitudes. How is your attitude today? Is it a proper attitude? Do you have the mind (attitude) of Jesus Christ? If not, why not have it today?

City Lumber’s 2nd Annual Ladies Night a success BY JENNIFER MCCAIG COX

City Lumber held its 2nd Annual Ladies Night, Thursday, October 7th. Eighteen ladies attended this informative event. Everyone was greeted and welcomed by Scott Wright.

A beautifully decorated dining area welcomed the guests who were treated to their choice of chili or taco soup with all the trimmings and two desserts.

During the meal, April Martin and Vanessa Griggs shared their knowledge of several products that City Lumber carries and their various uses. It was

very interesting to hear the various uses of many of the different products in stock at the store.

After everyone was finished eating, they were dismissed to various workshop stations placed throughout the establishment. Vanessa Griggs led one on electrical projects and she stressed that the first thing to do was turn off the power to your project. Patti Wright, Tori Lester and Susan Littleton held the arts and crafts workshop.

Participants were asked to bring in empty frame and they were shown how to

attach mesh screen to them to make a handy earring holder.

Inside the store, Scott Wright led a workshop on preparedness and April Martin led one on painting. All workshops proved to be informative and entertaining. City Lumber’s staff in attendance all pitched in and helped wherever needed.

At the conclusion of the night, the ladies were given gifts bags with some very nice gifts and a brown and pink City Lumber t-shirt that signified the groups’ dedication to helping with breast cancer prevention.

Sunday School for Shut-In By Mary King

Perhaps you didn’t get to go to Sunday school. Whether you are 5 or 105 this is for you with love. When your ready please read Exodus 3:1-6.

We’ve all had times when we just wanted to get alone with God. God honors that behavior, Moses, a Shepard, has led his sheep to the secluded desert. There, the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flaming fire, in a bush, but the bush didn’t burn up. There was a reason for the flame.

We may end up in a fiery trial, (1Peter 4:12) Some things happen as proof that we’ve on the right track with Jesus (1 Peter 4:13-14). We might even be put into a fiery trial, but Jesus is with us and we won’t be consumed (Daniel 3) “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations: Knowing this, that trying of your faith worketh patience” James 1:2-3 KJV. We’re becoming tougher in this strength training. We will care less and les about the opinions of others and more and more about God’s opinion. The nearer we are to one faith the more faith we’ll have.

Moses gets closer tot he bush to see if he can figure out the situation. The Lord calls Moses by name. When we see the fire calling, we stand toe-to-toe with the Lord. We stand where Moses stands and god is calling our name. The announcement of Moses new calling was the purpose for the flame.

The Lord says to Moses, “You’re close enough.” Then the Lord says to Moses, “Take off your shoes. You’re on holy ground.” Moses has an encounter with God. The life and times of Moses would never be the same.

Then the Lord identifies Himself to Moses: “I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob” (Exodus 3:6). If Moses will remember this one event, there’s nothing that God can’t wrought through his faith in God.

Moses hides his face because he’s afraid to look upon God (Exodus 3:6). Moses realizes his own frailty. His reverence toward God is visible. Moses realizes he can do nothing without God, and God considers Moses perfect for the assignment, the job for Moses.

DYER FIRST BAPTIST CELEBRATES 125TH YEARDyer First Baptist is celebrating its 125th anniversary

Glory to God! We bring you greetings from the Cloras Chapel family. The weekend began Friday with a successful fish fry. We thank Michael Skinner, Doris Bradford, Teresa Cawthon, Brenda Harris, and many many others for the delicious fish plates that were sold.

Many attended the Davy Crockett Parade Saturday in Rutherford. Cloras Chapel sends love and congratulations to E.L. and Oma Nell Albea for being honored as Grand Marshalls of the Davy Crockett Parade.

Sunday School was marvelous and we now know that it is God’s word that sustains us. The male chorus sang their hearts out in Sunday morning worship and Rev. Myles delivered beautiful words from the Lord about “Family and Friends.” We read scriptures from Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and Proverbs 17:17. We had lunch and a spirit filled service with Rev. Michael Savage and Porter’s Grove Baptist Church from Humboldt as our special guest. The service was awesome. Sister Kimberly Kemp was nominated for student of the year at Tennessee Technology School in Newbern. We are praying that she wins!

We also thank Minister Jesse Austin and Elder Ronald McNeil for sponsoring a week of tent revival in Humboldt. Each night was spirit filled and very inspiring. Sister Eva Kindle from Hopewell CPCA in Dyersburg worshipped with us all day Sunday and we enjoyed having her. Prayers go out to Elder Charles Simpson’s mother who is a patient at Jackson General Hospital. We are still praying for Sis. Laura Rogers, Sis. Evelyn Fields, and Sis. Adean Carpenter and others who have not been able to attend church because of illness.

The Tennessee Synod of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in America will convene this weekend, October 14 - 16th in Belevedere. Many from Badgett’s Chapel and Cloras Chapel will be attending. We will have a pre-anniversary program Sunday at 3 p.m. for our pastor. Our guest will be Pastor Roy Wade and Mt. Zion Worship Center. Everyone is invited. Our school children will be out of school Friday and Monday for Fall Break. Be safe!

Cloras Chapel wish you all a good week and we praise God for His annointing that He sends from above.

Bethpage By Joyce Brown

The sanctuary at Bethpage was full Sunday morning for our Harvest Day services. It warms our hearts to have our pews filled.

Many family members who live in other places came home to worship here. I believe the entire Littleton family was in attendance as well as all the Griggs family. That’s a pretty big number right there.

We only had one birthday to honor this week and that was Ann Huffine’s.

Janice Littleton and Tina McMackin played “He” for quiet music and call to worship was “Holy Ground.” Charles Perryman sang “I Call Him Lord” for the first special and then our welcome hymn was “Blessed Assurance.” That took a while as our church was full of visitors.

Logan Cochran sang our second special which was “You Are My King (Amazing Love)” and did a great job on this new song. Offertory music was “Have You Been to Calvary.”

We were blessed to have a very substantial offering to make some needed improvements in our building. Praise God from

whom all blessings flow! Bro. James took his

sermon text from Luke 10 on 10/10/10. Well, that won’t happen again in my lifetime. His title was “The Harvest Is Great.” He said that our concern as believers should not be on the harvest, but on the fields, that the Lord can handle the harvest. He then spoke of three types of fields; the fields of faithlessness, the fields of family crisis and the fields of faithfulness. It was a wonderful message and subject appropriate.

Following the worship service, we dismissed to the fellowship hall to enjoy our bountiful meal. Some folks did some mighty fine cooking. Everything you could want or imagine was there for the taking. Thanks to Joe Jenkins for smokin’ the chickens on his big rig. It was delicious as was everything I tasted and I tasted way too much.

We were happy to see Ron and Dot Sellers at church with Mrs Oneida and welcome them back home to our community as they are in the process of moving into the home place with Mom.

Sympathy is extended to the Martha Griggs family in the loss of her mother. I failed last week to mention Lloyd Sawyer passing away. Our thoughts go out to his family also.

The harvest festival for Kenton School was a great success. The auction is always fun and brings in lots of funds to benefit the school.

The weekend had beautiful weather for the Davy Crockett Days activities. There was a huge crowd in Rutherford for the parade and all that goes with that.

Cole Lannom had his 5th birthday last week and celebrated with his friends at a McDonalds party on Saturday; then on Sunday night his family all gathered at his home for a hamburger grilling and cake. Happy Birthday CoBob!

From the pastor: The Bible brings us right down to this truth; If sin rules in me, God’s life in me will be killed. If God rules in me, sin in me will be killed. Isaiah 53:3. Have a wonderful week and pray for someone who wouldn’t expect it.

THREE CHAPTERS OF DAR MEET - On Monday, September 27th ladies of three area chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution met at Kappis Restaurant for food, fellowship, and the joy of sharing their patriotic spirit. Members from the Beverly A. Williamson Chapter of Milan, the Elizabeth Marshall Martin Chapter of Trenton, and the Clement-Scott Chapter of Humboldt invite anyone who is interested in history, genealogy, and patriotism, to please visit the NSDAR website and join us.

School House Rock Live! Opens Saturday, October 16thSchool House Rock Live opens at 6 a.m. for Tom Miser. He is a young teacher who is waking up for his first day of work as a teacher. As his alarm goes off, Tom enters and begins to rehearse his teaching techniques. When he turns on the TV, he sees that his favorite childhood show, “Schoolhouse Rock!” is on. Tom is drawn into the show at the first song. He thinks he is loosing his mind, but his various alter egos convince him that he is ok and ready to teach. Dori, Shulie, George, Dina, and Joe all appear

to help Tom get ready to teach. They remind him of nouns, adjectives, history facts and science facts about the solar system and the circulatory system.

Come join the fun with Kellye Sheppard, Lanny Poteet, Robert Lambert, Jeremy Fuller, Mary Ferrell and Jennifer Petty as they weave their story for Tom, through songs. The audience will leave singing those endearing songs and remembering those Saturday morning cartoons.

Hunters for the Hungry sets banquet/auctionraises money to pay for deer processing, organize processors throughout the county to accept deer and process them, and distribute the processed venison to food distribution centers throughout the county.

Funds raised pay the processors to cover some of their costs, and there are no

other charges to the hunters donating the deer, to the organizations that assist with distribution, or most importantly to those who need the venison.

Venison is distributed through a network consisting of food banks, food pantries, churches and senior citizen centers.

GCHS Parent Advisory Committee meets group to Parent Portal, a new tool supplied by the Gibson County School District which allows all families to keep track of their student’s grades, attendance, and discipline online. He also showed the committee how

to sign up for Constant Contact, a newsletter for families of our Title I schools sent biweekly by Parent Coordinator Ginny Tyner. This information will be shared with other parents at Parent Teacher Conference and at a scheduled Parent Training night. Mr. Pruett also explained the recently released test scores, which reflected the new standards and benchmarks that were implemented last year. The committee also reviewed the District and School Family Engagement Policies, as well as the Family/Student/School Compact. Opportunities and times for Parent Trainings and other family involvement activities were also discussed. Gibson County High School appreciates the willingness of these members to serve on the committee this year.

BY LORI CATHEYM a r t i n - W e s t v i e w

defeated the Gibson County Pioneers 54-0 this past Friday in Dyer. The Pioneer secondary limited Westview to 59 yards passing but it did not stop the Chargers who rushed 38 times for 371 yards eating up most of the clock and scoring 54 points. Gibson County could not gain ground on offense verse a very stingy Westview defense.

“We continue to struggle to put together a complete game for four quarters of football. I continue to believe we are improving but our inability to put points on the board is not helping our cause. We must improve our run blocking scheme inside the defensive box, we must continue to improve our ability to stalk block on the perimeter and protect the QB in passing situations” stated Pioneers coach Lee Atkins.

The Pioneers managed to rush 19 times for 84 yards. Lee Whitaker was the leading rusher as a scrambling QB. He

completed 4 of 16 passes for 105 yards. Seniors Matt Littleton and Xavier

Wilkins both caught two passes each to keep hope alive for Gibson County.

On the defensive side of the contest, Junior LB Michael Keel accounted

for 12 Tackles, a sack and a blocked PAT.

Clayton Yarbro also had

a great night on defense with 8 tackles and two sacks. Sophomores Drew Scobey and Markee Brown both had 6 tackles each. Brown also had a pass break-up in the end zone and an interception. Season statistics for Gibson County is 901 rushing yards and 616 passing yards for 1517 season total offense yards. Leading defensive players are; Michael Keel has 68 combined tackles, Clayton Yarbro - 59 combined tackles and Dustin Murdoch - 33 combined tackles.

“It has been a long and arduous season for the team and the coaching staff as we continue to build a program for the future in Gibson County. I greatly appreciate the continued fan support this past Friday night. It is good to know that in good times and bad the community continues to support all of our efforts at Gibson County High School” said head football coach Lee Atkins.

The Pioneers will travel Friday to Crockett County High School in Alamo.
