By Melissa Falls Macon County General Hospital will soon be sport- ing a brand new heating and cooling system, thanks to the efforts of Congress- man Bart Gordon, who has secured $95,000 in federal funding to help with much needed renovations and expansions. The securing of the money stems from Gor- don's visit here in 2008, after the county was struck by a devastat- ing tornado on February 5. During his visit, Gordon asked Dennis Wolford, CEO of MCGH how he could help the coun- ty. "What better way for the federal government to show they care for us than to help reno- vate our hospi- tal," Dennis suggested. Gordon included the hospital's much needed renovation project in the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009, which... passed the House on Febru- ary 25, the same day that Gordon, in partnership with Pete Sessions (R-TX) intro- duced legislation to help hospitals nationwide with their emergency care departments. "I am committed to ensuring that all hospitals, especially rural hospitals like Macon General, are able to meet the health care needs of the communities they serve," said Gordon.

Join us for an evening to remember Jim Dooley is Tennessee Wildlife Officer of the Year By Jerry Greenway Macon County TWRA Wildlife Officer Jim Doo- ley's experience in wildlife management goes back more than 25 years, back to when he went to work for the West Virginia Dept. of Natural Resources as a humble "creel clerk,'' gath- ering information from anglers on the state's lakes and reservoirs. "It's sort of like 'bean counting,' except instead of beans I was collecting data to help the DNR determine fishing pressure by count- ing the number, species and size of fish harvested from a particular lake, and the anglers' catch rates," explained the Wildlife Offi- cer, who was recognized as TWRA's Tennessee Wildlife Officer of the Year at the February meeting of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Commission. The TWRA News release relating Dooley's Professional recognition in receiving this singular offi- cial honor tells little of his background and life experi- ence, so we asked him this past weekend to tell us a little about himself, his work and family. Born and raised in West Virginia, Jim Dooley grad- uated from West Virginia Tech with a bachelors degree in biology in 1980. "That summer I went out to Yellowstone to camp and fish and figure out what I wanted to do for a living," related the seasoned Wildlife Officer. "I was fresh out of five years of college, and took my time 'figuring'." In fact, he went back to his family home in West Virginia each of the next two winters, and returned twice to Yellowstone, dur- ing the months of May through October and did "service work" at Yellow- stone's Old Faithful Lodge, doing laundry and mainte- nance work through the week, and spending his weekends backpacking in the 1,300 acre national park. In 1983 he went back to school at West Virginia University in Morgantown and applied for graduate school. "After a semester of coursework, I decided I might not be cut out for advanced education. But I did gain something that turned out to be very important--I met the young woman who would eventu- ally become my wife--so in hindsight it was a very important chapter in my life," related Dooley. Today, Jim and Janis Dooley are the proud and loving parents of five chil- dren, three boys and two girls ages 5 through 16! However, Dooley was still several years away from becoming a wildlife management professional with the TWRA.

Fleetwood files bankruptcy, local operations unaffected By Clay Morgan According to a memo issued to retailers March 10, Fleetwood has filed for Bankruptcy protection. However, initial informa- tion does not seem to bode ill for Macon County. The memo, which was sent to Fleetwood Homes retailers by Charles E. Lott, president of Fleetwood’s housing group, stated the housing group has been operating profitably for five years. It is this group that man- ufactures in Macon County and has a local retailer here. The memo indicated that the company is seeking a buyer for part or all of the business and that the filing will facilitate the closure of Fleetwood’s “unprofitable travel trailer division” and “it will help us resolve our debt issues.” “There are no plans impacting our facility,” local retailer William Carter of Thomas Carter Real Estate said. “They (Fleet- wood) are going to keep the retail home side and there will be no lapse in the pro- duction of homes.” “We’re still going be here and Fleetwood’s still going to be in business,” Carter said. An FAQ issued by Fleet- wood for potential Fleet- wood customers states: •There will be no inter- ruption in the timely deliv- ery of homes in transit to their destinations. •Homes will continue to be covered by Fleetwood’s one-year warranty as before. •Fleetwood’s reorganiza- tion does not affect the local retailer, which is a “stable and independent company that is not finan- cially affiliated with Fleet- wood.” "We will use the Chapter 11 process to more rapidly restructure our overhead, pursue potential buyers, and definitively resolve our debt issues," President and Chief Executive Officer Elden Smith said in a state- ment. A company statement said, “Fleetwood's motor home and manufactured housing businesses will continue to operate while the company seeks buyers for these business units. While Fleetwood believes it has sufficient cash to operate its businesses in the immediate term, the com- pany is also in advanced discussions with its senior secured lenders for new, debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing to supplement existing working capital. As of Jan. 25, 2009, the com- pany had bank cash of approximately $23.0 mil- lion, excluding cash remaining in non-filing entities, principally its cap- tive insurance subsidiary.” Filing at this time pre- serves Fleetwood's right to revisit its Dec. 12, 2008 Exchange Offer, in which the company issued its 14% senior secured notes.

A Special Thanks to J & J Furniture, Latise Jones, and Jane Wooten for the decorations and everyone who was involved to help make the pageant possible. Hostage thanks detectives who helped free him By Jerry Greenway Just seven days after his rescue from an illegal immigrant "drop house" in a suburb near Phoenix AZ, the hostage whose family sought help from Macon County Sheriff's detectives met those detectives at the Justice Center in Lafayette last Friday to thank them for helping free him, and perhaps save his life. Arturo Pardo-Lopez (not his real name) was one of six hostages identified as an extortion victim by the Maricopa AZ Sheriff's Human Smuggling Unit. He is to remain in this country as a material wit- ness until the trial of the five Coyote/Suspects charged with multiple state charges of smuggling, kid- napping, extortion and aggravated assault. Another nineteen ille- gal immigrants being held in the same drop house with Arturo are being administratively processed through ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) for deportation back to Mexico. Arturo and five other "Mat-Wits" (material wit- nesses) were given legal papers allowing them to remain in this country to testify against the five men identified as Coyotes, who according to Maricopa Sheriff's Sgt. Brett Palmer "used a severe amount of violence and intimidation with the Smugglies at the house." They were alleged- ly physically beaten, sub- jected to death threats with loaded firearms pointed at their heads, and in some cases subjected to electri- cal shocks while being forced to speak with fami- ly, "a tactic used by the Coyotes to force the man to cry and coerce his fami- ly into paying thousands more of dollars for his safe release." Arturo told MCSD detectives Jeff Brewer, Bill Cothron and Darrell Tay- lor, "I don't know what would have happened if you guys hadn't helped. Thank you all so much!" After this formality, the detectives asked him to describe his ordeal. Following a two day walk across the desert in northern Mexico and southwestern Arizona, a van had picked up Arturo, several other illegals and a guide on Sunday or Mon- day, February 22 or 23 just south of Phoenix. "We were taken to a house--the back of the van had no windows, so I did- n't know where we was-- where there were twenty or more other people." (After arrival at the house) "We were beaten, tied and bound with duct tape." On Tuesday night, Feb- ruary 24 Arturo's Coyote...

Photo by Jerry GreenwayMacon County Sheriff's detectives Bill Cothron, Jeff Brewer, and Dar-rell Taylor were heartily thanked this past Friday by the Hispanichostage they helped free from a drop house near Phoenix this pastThursday night. The Hispanic male is a material witness in state legalproceedings against the five Coyotes who held 25 illegals while theyattempted to extort addition money from relatives in the U.S. The mandid not wish to be identified in fear of possible retaliation by elementsof mafia-like Mexican organized crime.
Hostage thanks detectives
...captors called theirhostage's sister in MaconCounty, put Arturo on theline briefly as "proof oflife," and then demandedthat the family send them$3,300 'or else.'
Sgt. Brett Palmer's narra-tive report noted that whenthe second call from theCoyotes was made the nextday, "Macon County SOidentified the cell phonebeing used by the Coyotesand traced it to a generalarea in Avondale."
As related in the Times'story last week, when Mari-copa Human SmugglingUnit officers executed a"knock and talk" of houseson Joblanca Road Thursdaynight, they were able toimmediately identify thedrop house "based on multi-ple subjects running fromthe residence and attempt-ing to jump the block wallto the north of the property."
Sgt. Palmer's report con-tinues, "...the victim(Arturo) was safe and un-injured. Five Coyotes wereidentified within the group;six of the Smugglies wereidentified to be materialwitnesses; nineteen remain-ing Smugglies wereprocessed administrativelythrough ICE."
"All (30) subjectsremoved from the housewere confirmed illegalaliens. The subjects in total-ity consisted of (4) adultfemales, (1) juvenilefemale; and (25) adultmales."
Arturo- Pardo Lopez(again, not his real name)must see a probation officerin Macon County eachMonday until he is calledback to Arizona to testify.He will stay with familyhere until that time.
During Arturo's visit tothe Justice Center, detec-tives called back for a His-panic inmate to be brought
to their office, explainingthat the man had "helpedthem a bunch" in describingthe Coyotes human smug-gling and extortion mode ofoperation, and the mostlikely locality where Arturowas being held.
"We actually had it nar-rowed down to the Phoenixarea before we got confir-mation from TennesseeFusion's call tracing andGPS locating of the 'drophouse'," added Det. JeffBrewer.
"Maybe now that Hispan-ics have seen how you havehelped me and my family,they will not be so reluctantand fearful to call policewhen they need help,"Arturo told the detectives.
"Law enforcement is hereto protect people," repliedBrewer. "It doesn't makeany difference if they areblack, white, Chinese orHispanic--it's all humanity."

Fleetwood files bankruptcy...has a 90-day peri-
od from the Offer's effective date in whichto revisit the terms; that period will expireshortly. Terms of the senior notes effectivelyrestricted the company from seeking invest-ment in its businesses in view of subsequentdeterioration in the market.
The filing also facilitates the closing ofFleetwood's travel trailer division, whichthe company has commenced. This divisionaccounted for losses of $65.3 million in2007 and $16.8 million in 2008. The divi-sion closing affects three manufacturingfacilities and two service facilities employ-ing approximately 675 people. The compa-ny is also laying-off an additional 65 corpo-rate associates.
"Although we made substantial progress
in restructuring this (travel trailer) divisionand improved the product offering, currentmarket conditions proved too severe to con-tinue the turnaround," stated Elden L.Smith, Fleetwood's president and chiefexecutive officer. "We appreciate the pastsupport of the travel trailer dealers and ourassociates."
Smith also echoed Carter’s declarationthat the local retailer is strong. “We appreci-ate the support of our loyal dealers and cus-tomers. We want to assure them that weintend to continue doing business in motorhomes and manufactured housing while wecomplete the processes before us. We willwork with our dealers to support the contin-ued sales of Fleetwood motor homes andmanufactured homes,” Smith said.

Linville goes to D.C. for stimulus money
...comes through the statewill end up in the largecities," said Linville, citingNashville, Knoxville, andMemphis.
Linville was told by Gor-don that "they" should havealready contacted him to beput on the list for a share ofthe stimulus money, but hehadn't been contacted and itwasn't explained to him who"they" are, but he suspectedit was the state. Whoever"they" are hadn't contactedany of the other countymayors that Linville talkedto, either.
Linville asked the sena-tors and representatives thathe talked to, as well as any-one else who seemed in aposition to help, if the coun-ty could get some of thestimulus money for therepair of existing countyroads and to extend waterlines into the county.
The county roads, whichsuffered a lot of damageduring last year's tornadoand the successive clean-up,can be shovel ready nextweek, if the county gets themoney, Linville explained.Shovel ready is one of thecriteria for getting some ofthe cash.
The extension of waterlines into the county isanother big need, with 35county roads represented bypeople on those roads thatneed the security of citywater.
Trying to find out whatbuttons to push and who toask for help, Linville wastold by Libell to follow upwith Representative TerryLynn Weaver, Senator MaeBeavers, Governor Phil Bre-desen, and CongressmanBart Gordon.
Linville contacted ourstate senator and our staterepresentative on Monday ofthis week, asking about the
possibility of getting moneyto repair our county's roadsand extend water lines intothe county.
Beavers, a member of thestate's transportation com-mittee, assured Linville thatshe would bring up the sub-ject of funds to repair theroads when the committeemet on Tuesday, March 10,and get back with him aboutthe results.
Weaver, too, assuredLinville that she wanted tosee Macon County get fund-ing for both roads and waterlines and would see whatcould be done.
They’re both on our sideand want to see what theycan do to help us out,” saidLinville, “and I feel goodabout that.
"I think Bart Gordonmay be the key for us,"added the Mayor. "He's real-ly been there for the countyin the past."

Council ponders yard sale regulationsBy Melissa Falls
With the yard sale seasonjust springing into fullbloom, the Lafayette citycouncil once again ponderedthe issue of yard sale regula-tions, at their regular meet-ing on Tuesday evening,March 3.
Council member RichardBransford proposed that thecity adopt some sort of ordi-nance on yard sales, to con-trol the 'permanent' salesthat are run like businesses.
The proposal was to givefour free yard sales a year toanyone that asked, with a$15 charge for each salethereafter. Yard salers wouldbe given color coded signsto post in their yard so thatlocal police officers wouldknow that a permit had beenobtained.
"If they're having morethan four sales a year,they've gone into business,"said Bransford, referring totransit vendors and thosewho turn over auction items.
Transit vendors - thosewho sell new equipment andtools in order to make aprofit - are required to buy avendor's license, whichcosts $50, is good for twoweeks, and must be posted.
"It's not the people havingyard sales to clean out theirhouses or basement and getrid of some stuff that's theproblem. It's the peoplegoing to auctions and thensetting up in their yards withyard sale sign," Police Chief
Jerry Dallas stated. "Weneed some kind of regula-tion so we'll know the dif-ference between yard salesand businesses."
"If we're not protectingour own merchants," saidBransford, "we're not doingour job."
With agreement allaround, the council askedMayor Carter to have CityAttorney Jon Wells draw upa yard sale regulating ordi-nance.
An ordinance settingtap fees for developers put-ting in all of the water lines,fire hydrants, and valves insubdivisions of ten lots ormore was passed on firstreading.
Rates set forth for 10 ormore taps for in-city devel-opments will be $400 eachfor 3/4" lines and $680 for1" lines. For any develop-ment under 10 lots thecharge will be $500 for 3/4"lines and $850 for 1" lines.
Outside of the city limits,the cost of 3/4" lines fordevelopments of 10 or morehouses will be $675 each;$1,000 each for 1" lines.Charges for developmentsof under 10 houses are $850for 3/4 inch lines and$1,500 for 1" lines.
In all cases, the lots mustbe in one subdivision,developed at one time, andbuilt on by the developer.The rights given to thedeveloper are not transfer-able to another person or
persons, LLC's or corpora-tions.
In other business, thecouncil:
•approved the request ofWater Superintendent GeneReid to look into the possi-bility of switching from ahard-start pump controls toa digital soft-start system atthe Barren River Pump Sta-tion. The soft-start system,said Reid, will save on thecity's electric bill eachmonth.
•approved Chief Dallasrequest to hire Linda Kirbyfor custodial services at thePolice Department, replac-ing Clean Sweep.
•approved the Marchannual employee evalua-tions and salary increases asfollows; David Cross, parttime Fire; Dean Ellis, Water;Cheryl Huntsman, Adminis-trative; Carolyn Bolton,Water; Barron Smith,Street/Parks; Denise Sutton,Police.
•approved the bid for theairport hay, for a three yearlease, of Mikey White at$1.05 a roll.
•authorized the taking ofbids for city fuel for vehi-cles and equipment.
•approved advertising tohire personnel for the city'spool.
•decided that it would bea good idea to put off thepurchase of new Christmasdecorations at this time, anduse the old ones for anotheryear.
By Clay MorganI had a great conversa-
tion last week withThomas Kidd, over atMacon County GeneralHospital.
He’s actively involvedin both the Chamber ofCommerce and Rotaryand we talked aboutmany things related tothe two organizations.
We touched on thetopic of tourism.
Now, I know what thenay-sayers will shout –There’s nothing here fortourists!
Maybe. Maybe not.At it’s core, the reason
for promoting tourism issimple. To get folks tocome here and spendmoney in Macon County.
When I was in Madi-son County (I still slip upand refer to Macon asMadison), Texas, weaggressively promotedtourism. And that countyhas nothing. And I meannothing. A few cows.That’s it.
I mean, it was the typeof town when, one day, Iasked someone, “what doyou do on the week-ends?” Her response?“Leave town.”
But they took a differ-ent tact to their promo-tion of tourism and it wassuccessful.
With the city’s help, anenormous Little Leaguetournament was heldannually. The three-dayevent packed the hotelsand restaurants in town(and down the road). Itbrought in a lot of
money, sales tax dollarsand visitors.
Not a traditional viewof tourism, per se, butstill it had the sameimpact. And that was justone such project. Thecommunity theater,Downtown MerchantsAssociation and othergroups engaged in activi-ties that pulled people in,sometimes staying thenight, and always spend-ing money in town.
The welcome centerthat is nearing comple-tion is an opportunity tohighlight what we have.A tremendous park, themarket days, more garagesales than I’ve ever seenin my life, great places toeat and some greathotels, particularly inRed Boiling Springs.These are just a few ofthe many assets of ourcommunity when itcomes to developing ourown, unique tourism pro-
gram.The county fair, Hill-
billy Days, the antiquecar show and otherevents present greatopportunities to encour-age visitors to spend afew bucks, stimulatingour local economy.
Encouraging increaseduse of the fairgroundscan do the same.
Ingenuity and imagina-tion are needed, as wellas some good old fash-ioned elbow grease.None of these are in shortsupply in Macon County.
What it takes to takeadvantage of this type oftourism is a shift inthinking. I have oftenfound people view“tourism” as going some-where and spending sev-eral days at a place.That’s probably not forus.
But taking stock of ourstrengths – and there areplenty - and developing
plans to take advantageof them, can result ingreat benefits for ourcounty.

‘The Big Picture’Five reasons for optimism in the present financial meltdown
By Steve DiggsNo, I wasn’t born yester-
day. And, yes, I am fullyaware of what the financialmarkets, and the economyas a whole, have been likeover the last severalmonths. But, in my experi-ence, usually the only peo-ple who come out ahead byscaring others that the skyis falling—are the helmetsalesmen. So before yougive up hope, let’s considerfive facts as a counter bal-ance to the evening news:
Historically, it hasalways been darkest justbefore the dawn. I don’tknow the future. Butthrough the decades, manypeople have given up hopejust before things began toimprove. In the 1930’s and1973/74 the stock marketswere terrible. Some peoplewere predicting the col-lapse of our financial sys-
tem. But it came back. InOctober, 1987 the stockmarket collapsed. But with-in a year it had recovered.And, that recovery beganone of the longest andstrongest bull markets onrecord. Of course, no onecan predict the future, butover the years, stocks haveaveraged annual returns ofabout 10 percent.
No one can stop theclock. The truth is: Shoeswear out. Cars break down.And, toasters stop toasting.Sooner or later, pent updemand will take over andpeople will begin buyingstuff again. That will helpspark the economy.
Gas prices have tumbled!Only months ago oil was atover $160/barrel, and thewizards of the market werepredicting oil would top$200 per barrel. Not so. AsI write this, oil is below
$40 per barrel. Gas thatcost over $4.00 a gallon afew months ago is now at$1.76! This has had themarvelous effect of reduc-ing inflationary pressures.
A possible break forfirst-time home buyers.Now, please don’t misun-derstand. I am not tellinganyone to rush out and buya home. But housing pricesare comparatively low atpresent. Interest rates arefavorable. Granted, muchof this is because of stupidbehavior by the regulators,the mortgage companies,and homebuyers. But thefact remains, that, if youhave cash for a substantialdown payment and youplan to live in the home foran extended period, thismay prove to be one of thegreat home buying opportu-nities of your lifetime.
Historically, the US
economy has been one ofthe strongest in the world.It is important to under-stand that this presentrecession is worldwide.Some people believe thatAmerica may emergebefore many other coun-tries. If that happens, it fol-lows that money from allover the globe may flowinto the US. We mightactually see a wonderfullyhealthy economy sooner,rather than later.
Now, please understand,only God knows the future.I don’t claim to have acrystal ball. But remember,great markets often comewhen they are least expect-ed.

By Jack McCallMy mother remembers
two trucks that my grandfa-ther Will Herod Brimowned after the passing ofthe horse and buggy days.The first was an Interna-tional one-ton modelbought through Hazzardand Brimm General Mer-chandise located in Riddle-ton, Tenn. My grandfather’scousin, Gilmer Brimm,facilitated the purchase.
Mother secured her Ten-nessee driver’s license atthe age of 14. She was thefirst member of her familyto learn to drive a motor-ized vehicle. She taughtherself to drive by sitting inthe truck with the engineoff and “going through thegears” in mock fashion. Sherelated to me that she“drove” that truck hundredsof miles before it evermoved an inch.
On a spring day mygrandfather announced to
my mother, “We’re allgoing to Riddleton in thetruck, and you’re driving.”Up until that day she hadnever started the engine.
She climbed in on thedriver’s side as my grand-mother Lena climbed in onthe passenger side. Mygrandfather refused to ridein the cab with them. Heclimbed in the back of truckand rode standing up theentire two-mile trip out ofthe Brim Hollow.
He wanted to be able tojump out if my mother ranoff the road. She made thetrip “without a bobble” andearned the role of designat-ed family driver.
Her first long trip in theInternational truck, a modelthat featured tall, narrowtires mounted on spokewheels, was to haul a loadof spring lambs to Gallatin,Tenn. My grandfather andHarold Law accompaniedher on that trip.
As she drove west thatday, she was preoccupiedwith threatening rainclouds. For that reason shefailed to slow down suffi-ciently when they crossedthe railroad tracks on theeast side of Gallatin. Intelling the story, she said, “Ihit the railroad tracks hard,and as I did, my riderslooked at each other andsaid, ‘Oh, no!’” Their worstfears were realized as one
of the truck tires blew outimmediately. She pulled thetruck to the side of the roadand my grandfatherchanged the tire for thespare.
When they arrived at theGallatin stockyards, theyunloaded the lambs. Thenthey inspected the othertires. Two of the tires hadknots on them as big asgoose eggs. My grandfathertook a deep breath and said,“Y’ll wait right here.” Hewalked down the street andturned the corner out ofsight.
When he returned thirtyminutes later, he presentedone of the funniest sightsmy mother had ever seen.He had a tire hanging fromeach shoulder and two newinner tubes hanging downaround his neck like a horsecollar. She did not sharewith me the expression onhis face. The tires werechanged within an hour andthey headed home.
After that day my mothernever failed to slow downwhen she crossed railroadtracks.
My grandfather boughthis second and last truckfrom Banks “Huck” High-ers at Banks HighersGarage in downtown DixonSprings, Tenn., on August11, 1950.
A copy of the cancelledcheck is displayed to the
right.It was an army olive
green 1951 GMC half-tonequipped with a four-speedfloor shifter. The truck’sfirst gear was a “grannylow” gear that made thetruck crawl forward. Thetruck was geared so low itcould have pulled down abarn.
It was further equippedwith a floor starter locatednext to the accelerator. Theheadlamps were also con-trolled by a floor switch.The seat covers were madeof tough brown leather-likematerial, the seats stuffedwith springs and horse hair.
It was a “narrow-bed” orstep-side model, the bedfloored with narrow oakboards encased in steelguides. The straight six-cylinder engine made achugging sound as itcruised down the road.
When “new” Highway25 was completed in theearly 1960’s, my grandfa-ther had a fear of takingthat route to Carthage. Ontwo stretches of the high-way between Riddleton andCarthage, nothing laybetween the highway andthe Cumberland Riverexcept newly constructedconcrete barriers.
My grandfather had afear of driving into theCumberland River.
But on a spring morning
in 1963, Herod Brim pulledout onto Highway 25 in his1951 GMC Pickup truckand turned it eastward.Twenty minutes later mygrandmother received atelephone call at her housenear downtown Riddleton.On the other end of the linemy grandfather’s excitedvoice announced, “Lena, Imade it from Riddleton toCarthage in thirteen min-utes!”
Not only had he over-come his fears, he had set anew speed record!
If I had known then what
I know now, we would haveplaced that 1951 GMC inan appropriate building andkept it in mint condition.But we had very little ideaat the time what things willcapture and hold for us ourdearest memories. The car-cass of that old truck, a relicof the past, now sits rustingaway, too far gone to berevived.
But the very thought of itbrings it back alive alongwith priceless memories ofdays gone by.

‘The Big Picture’How not to
lose your jobBy Steve Diggs
Like they say: There’s littleconsolation in being the best-looking horse in the glue fac-tory. Knowing that many ofour friends are losing theirjobs is little comfort whenyou lose your job. So, let’s getahead of the curve—and talkabout how to stay employed.
Earn your keep. Whenwe’re on the boss’ clock thatmeans we should be workingfor the boss. Billions of workhours are lost yearly byemployees who add an extrafive or ten minutes to theirbreaks, or spend companytime buying gifts on the Inter-net, or make personal phonecalls. Besides being morallywrong—this is also stupidbehavior.
Employers are looking forteam players. If you are notclearly helping to pull thecompany cart—you’re proba-bly in it. Employees whodon’t pull their own weight(and a little extra) are anendangered species, and willtend to be the first to be laidoff.
Understand that perceptionis reality. These days, it’smore important than ever, tobe your own public relationsperson promoting “BrandYou!” Of course, done incor-rectly, this can come off badlyand do more harm than good.You don’t want to be seen as aself-promoter—simply some-one who is known for yourdiligence.
Become great at what youdo. Strive for excellence. Iused to tell my employees thatif they did their job well, therewould come a wonderful dayfor them: The day that Iwould need them more thanthey needed me!
There are great dividendsto be had by becoming thebest in your field (or, at leastthe best in your office.) Taketime to learn your company’sculture. Be an informationsponge. Read articles in pro-fessional journals. Go theextra several miles. Take onextra duties. The more readilyyou accept an extra assign-ment, the less likely you willbe to get a pink slip. There area hundred ways to do this.Why not be the person wholearns how the computer serv-er network links the comput-ers together? Or, become theone who knows how to fix thecopier when it jams.
Be sympathetic. Try to putyourself into the boss’ shoes.Understand the pressures thatshe deals with daily. Then,look for ways to lighten herload. Zig Ziglar used to say,“You can always get all thatyou want, if you will first helpenough other people get whatthey want.”
Be a nice person. Soundsoverly simplistic doesn’t it?But the truth is it’s hard to firea really nice person thateveryone likes.
Will these tips save myjob? No, not necessarily. But,by applying them, they willhelp on two levels: First, theirapplication will lessen thelikelihood you’ll be asked toleave. And, two, if you arelaid off you’ll know that youdid everything right—andhave no regrets.
Golden Oaks. Most residentsare fine. The weather has beengreat. The weekend was warm. OnSunday, the wind was blowing.Most residents don’t enjoy this timechange. Most people just go onwith whatever.

Some residents are thinkingabout flowers. Lots of bulbs are up.I enjoy spring most of all. Peoplewere getting tomato plants on Sat-urday. It’s just a little early, I guess.Maybe not. That is a hard thing togive up when we can’t have a gar-den. One good thing, we have goodfriends to share and farmers marketover at Key Park. There is always away to make it in this life if we try.

On Thursday, March 5, 2009,Virgil Payton Cox made a verypeaceful journey to Heaven. Hejust closed his eyes and let God’sAngels carry him Home to a placewhere his soul had longed to be forsome time. Today he is at peace, hismind and body are healed, and he isbasking in a place that only knows
happiness and contentment. Funeral services for Virgil Cox were conduct-ed Sunday, March 9, at 2 p.m. from the Alexander Funeral Home withElder Guthrie Thompson and Elder Anthony Hale officiating. Intermentfollowed in the Macon County Memorial Gardens.
Virgil Payton Cox was born on March 18, 1921, in the Old BottomCommunity of Macon County, the son of Duncan and Mintie Russell Cox.He was one of 3 children. He often said that while his family didn’t havemuch in monetary value, they had plenty to eat, and plenty of love. His par-ents carried him to church on a regular basis, and when he was a little boyof 12, he was saved by God and given the assurance of an everlastinghome. That blessing he received over 75 years ago is what carried him tothe Place he rests in today. He joined Old Bottom Missionary BaptistChurch as a young boy and then moved his membership to BrattontownMissionary Baptist Church where he remained a member until his death.He met his future bride, Reddie Gregory, when they were teenagers goingto church together, both at Ebenezer and Old Bottom. They were marriedon January 21, 1939. Their 70th Wedding Anniversary was just a fewweeks ago. Their 70 years of marriage is certainly proof of how their loveand determination saw them through happy times, as well as sad times.They truly believed in their marriage vows, “to have and to hold till deathdo us part”. They lived in the Ebenezer community for a few years beforemoving to the Brattontown community.
Together Reddie and Virgil raised their two children and helped withtheir grandchildren and great grandchildren. Virgil was happiest when hewas surrounded by his family. He was a fun-loving man who liked beingaround friends and family and was known to pull pranks on his friends andhe always liked to tell a good joke. For the past few years, Virgil had beenin failing health and he would want to thank his loving wife, Reddie, fortaking such good care of him. She tended to his needs and watched overhim just as she did their own children when they were babies. In additionto his parents, he was preceded in death by a sister, Lola Brawner.
He is survived by his wife, Reddie, and their two children, Willie Veeand Janie Cox, and Debbie and Bobby Huffines. He is also survived bythree grandchildren and 1 step-grandchild, Tracy and Paul McCreary, Gregand Jennifer Huffines, Cody Huffines, and Donald and Mary Gibson, 6great-grandchildren, Tierney, Destiny, Michael, Bryson, Baylee and Lanie,4 great-great grandchildren and a sister, Bevie Bowman.

And I saw Jesus with his armsstretched out to me. I didn’t shout, but I was happy.” Mable was a lovingwife, mother, and grandmother, and a good old-fashioned cook as declaredby her grandchildren to their mother, “Yours is not as good as Ma’s. Mablewas a member of the Happy Homemakers FCE Club.

families and friends whose lives are also changed.
Yearly mammogram and clinical breast exam

for herself today. It could save her life.
Who is at risk?Your grandmother, your mother,

friend, your coworker, and YOURSELF!
Photo by Jerry Greenway In the above photo, workmen were taking down the old metalawning across the front of Mike Schwab's section of the origi-nal Citizens Bank building last week. According Doug Holderand his mother June's best recollection, Doug's grandfather, Mr.Delmer Jent and grandmother Claris operated the Lafayette DryGoods Store (the sign of which is partially revealed in thisphoto) from 1937 until 1975. Lafayette Mayor J.Y. Carter workedat the store part-time while he was in high school and college.Ms. Elese Archer was a clerk at Mr. Delmer's store, and TerryHudson's father, Adonald Hudson worked there before openinghis own Macon Department Store.
In the photo below, stucco mechanics were covering the oldbrick facade with the first layer of its new surface, which willsoon match the south side of the building on Locust Streetwhich was stuccoed and painted late in 2008. Mike Schwab'sIdeal Group has offices upstairs and down in the nicely remod-eled building, which dates back to the early years of the pastcentury. J.Y. Carter remembers that after the Lafayette Collegeburned, Lafayette high school classes were held upstairs in theold Citizens Bank Building.
Layer upon layer,past times preserve
themselves in thecity until life itself
is finally threatened with
suffocation; then,in sheer defense
modern maninvents the museum.

...assured she could get agood job at Vanderbilt Uni-versity.
"Janis moved to Nashville,and I still didn't have a clearcareer path figured out," con-tinued Jim.
He also had a friend whotold him she had found himthe "perfect job," as a salesrepresentative for a largepharmaceutical company.
"She told me the salarywas in the neighborhood of$50,000 a year, and I couldmake half that much more incommissions if I was good atthe sales work."
But Dooley wasn't sure hewas cut out for a suit and tiejob with a black leather sam-ples bag and a territory towork, any more than he'dbeen cut out for graduateschool.
At about that same time afriend with the Dept. of Nat-ural Resources called and toldhim there was a job for a"Creel Clerk" with the DNRopen, and was he interested.
"It may have been dumbnot to take the sales job withthe good money, and insteadgo back to working out of aleaky John boat on the WestVirginia lakes, but that's whatI did."
His relationship with Janiscontinued long-distance, butin 1989 he finally asked herto marry him. She said shewould, but now he knew hehad to move to Tennessee, inpart because his new wife hada very good job at Vanderbilt,and he would need to findwork in Davidson County.
"Turned out there were 12or 15 open positions forTWRA officers, probably thefirst time before or sincethere were that many open-ings. I signed up to take thecivil service tests, and passedthem with a pretty high
score."When Jim finished the law
enforcement training he wasasked where he would preferto be assigned. There weretwo openings for TWRA offi-cers in Davidson County, andhe asked for one of them.
"They thought I was crazy,wanting to be a Wildlife Offi-cer in Nashville, but that waswhere my wife and her jobwere, so that's where I had tobe," he continued.
Skipping forward nearly adecade, with a new and grow-ing family the Dooleys tookan assignment for Jim asWildlife Officer in MaconCounty in 1997. Janis wasnow more interested in familyand church than in a profes-sional career, and she leftVanderbilt behind. She nowhome schools her own chil-dren, and helps other homeschool parents with the edu-cation of their children.
Jim Dooley's participationin public outreach efforts, hisenergetic teaching of huntingand boating education, andhis work with the MaconCounty Sheriff's Department,along with the county schoolsadministration and countygovernment to plan and builda trap shooting range for theSCTP team on schoolgrounds were cited in hisrecognition as Wildlife Offi-cer of the Year.
The MCHS trap shootingrange is the first of its kind tobe constructed on schoolproperty in Tennessee.
When Macon County andLafayette were hit by the F-4tornado in February 2008,Dooley worked with lawenforcement and other agen-cies in search, rescue andsecurity operations in thewake of the storm.
Even though his own home(on Cardinal Drive) was dam-aged by the storm, he assistedcitizens of the county in the
days and weeks ahead incleanup efforts.
As the lone TWRA officerfor Macon County, Jim Doo-ley inspects and interacts withmore than 500 persons a yearchecking for compliance withTWRA laws, rules and regu-lations.
In his nearly twelve yearsof service in Macon County,Dooley said he always tries"to be firm but fair with thepublic." A good humored manwith an easy, natural smile,Dooley would rather the storybe about the good that othersdo, rather than dwell on hisown abilities or accomplish-ments.
He's closely associatedwith the local chapter ofQuail Unlimited and has pro-vided valuable technicalassistance to local landownersin promotion of uplandgame/small game practices.
Dooley also performs pondchecks and conducts dovecall counts for Macon Countyresidents.
Jim has reached out tosecure an arrangement withNestle Waters in Red BoilingSprings which provides casesof bottled water for theTWRA "Wear It! Tennessee"campaign ot increase lifejacket usage in the state. Healso assists officers in adja-cent counties on busy boatingdays and when assigned.
In the conclusion to theTWRA official citation, theunderstated official pressrelease says, "Dooley isregarded by his peers as adiligent worker and lawenforcement officer whotreats everyone with courtesyand respect."
We add our congratulationsand admiration for a trustedpublic servant who acceptedthis recognition as "WildlifeOfficer of the Year" withhumility and community spir-it.

Jim Dooley is TWRA Officer of the Year
Gordon snags $95,000 for Macon General
...passed the House onFebruary 25, the same daythat Gordon, in partnershipwith Pete Sessions (R-TX)introduced legislation to helphospitals nationwide withtheir emergency care depart-ments.
"I am committed to ensur-ing that all hospitals, espe-cially rural hospitals likeMacon General, are able tomeet the health care needs ofthe communities they serve,"said Gordon. "ImprovingMacon County General Hos-pital will increase the num-ber of ailments and injuriesthat the hospital's staff is
able to treat."The bill passed by the
House was shy one vote ofpassing the Senate duringthe first week of March, butwas reconsidered on March9 and scheduled to be con-tinued.
So although the money isnot yet in hand, Wolford,who spoke to Gordon afterthe Omnibus bill passed theHouse, was confident that itwould be approved by theSenate sometime this week.
The $95,000 won't coverall of the needed renovationsat MCGH, but it will covera new heating and coolingsystem to replace the 30-
year old HVAC unit whichhas been, said Wolford,repaired and repaired, andrepaired again.
Wolford plans to install a'green' system to replace theold one, in order to reducethe hospitals carbon foot-print and save money at thesame time. There may evenbe enough money left overto replace the hospital'ssprinkler system.
"We'll appreciate whateverwe get," said Wolford,expressing his gratitude toGordon. "He's always beenthere to support rural hospi-tals. We'll put the money togood use."

Born on March 2, 1998, theNational Education Association’s(NEA) Read Across America isthe largest celebration of readingthis country has ever seen: Anannual reading motivation andawareness program that calls forevery child in every communityto celebrate reading on March2, the birthday of beloved chil-dren's author Dr. Seuss.
In cities and towns across thenation, teachers, teenagers,librarians, politicians, actors,athletes, parents, grandparents,
and others develop NEA's ReadAcross America activities tobring reading excitement to chil-dren of all ages.
Governors, mayors, and otherelected officials recognize therole reading plays in their com-munities with proclamations andfloor statements. Athletes andactors issue reading challengesto young readers. And teachersand principals seem to be morethan happy to dye their hairgreen or be duct-taped to a wallif it boosts their students' read-ing.
Macon County celebrates thisannual reading event in everypublic school and preschool with
volunteer readers and story-tellers, book fairs, dress-up days,and fun games.
Motivating children to read isan important factor in studentachievement and creating life-long successful readers.
Research has shown that chil-dren who are motivated andspend more time reading do bet-ter in school.
Research has also shown thatchildren love to be read to, andlove to show off their readingskills.
So pick up a book and readto a child; let your own storieslose, your imagination run wild.

“Read Across America” Every DayBy U.S. Rep. Bart Gordon
March 2nd marks Read AcrossAmerica Day – a day dedicated toencouraging children to read. Morethan 45 million students, teachers,and parents participate in this eventeach year, making it the nation’slargest reading event.
The purpose of this event, howev-er, should not be confined to one day– we should read to our children andencourage them to read as often aspossible. Reading is a key that canopen so many doors.
A 2007 report by the NationalEndowment for the Arts (NEA),titled “To Read or Not To Read,”pulled together 14 national studies onthe nation’s reading trends and theeffects of reading. The results weresurprising.
Over the past ten years, we havebeen reading less and less as a nation.The percentage of 17-year-olds who
read nothing at all for pleasure hasdoubled over a 20-year period.Employers now rank reading andwriting as top deficiencies amongnew hires.
In the report’s preface, the Chair-man of NEA, Dana Gioia, explained,“With lower levels of reading andwriting ability, people do less well inthe job market. Poor reading skillscorrelate heavily with lack ofemployment, lower wages, and fewopportunities of achievement.”
When I read this, it made me thinkof the current state of our economy.Now more than ever before, as wewitness so many Tennesseans andpeople across America struggle tofind a good job, we should be placingspecial emphasis on reading with ourown children, especially since it soclosely relates to obtaining successand living a healthy life.
The NEA report substantiatesthese relationships: “Regular readingnot only boosts the likelihood of anindividual’s academic and economicsuccess...but it also seems to awakena person’s social and civic sense.Reading correlates with almost everymeasurement of positive personaland social behavior surveyed. It isreassuring, though hardly amazing,that readers attend more concerts andtheater than non-readers, but it is sur-prising that they exercise more andplay more sports – no matter whattheir education level.”
The bottom line seems clear: wehave got to get our children reading ata young age and continue to encour-age them to read as they get older.The saying that advises us to “turn offyour TV and read” seems like goodadvice to live by and pass down toour children.

Those suffering with illness or injury are often dou-bly afflicted, suffering the primary pain or discomfortof their illness or injury as well as the secondary painof being isolated or cut off from normal human contact.
When we know of someone who is sick or injured,one of the first things that we can do to establish con-tact is to send them a card or a brief note to simply letthem know that we are thinking of them and that wecare.
Then, find out if they want to have visitors, andwhen it would be convenient for us to visit. Before vis-
iting, ask ifthere is any-thing that theyneed, and whenwe visit, con-sider bringing asmall gift, suchas a magazineor the newspa-per.
During ourvisit, especiallyif it is crowdedor there areothers waiting
to see them, we should not stay too long. In addition, we should not be afraid to talk about the
person’s illness or injury, unless they signal that they
would rather not talk about it. If they are in the hospitalfor a long time, we could visit them periodically andwe should not forget about them after they go home.
Like every corporal work of mercy, visiting the sickis about attending to the needs of those less fortunatethan us, so we should be attentive to those needs, andask the person what they need.
Finally, pray for the sick, and even offer to pray ashort prayer with the sick person.
And the prayer of faith will save the sick man, andthe Lord will raise him up;and if he has committedsins, he will beforgiven.
Thereforeconfess your sin-sto one another,and pray for oneanother, that youmay be healed.

On Tuesday, March 3rd theannual Interact Show was heldat the MCHS auditorium. Theshow included 24 acts thatvaried from comedy skits,group singing, a gospel quar-tet, individual singing, and thefinal act entitled "Stay Tuned".At 6:30 pm, the show waskicked off with the traditionalact "Leader of the Pack per-formed by the Interact girls.
The show was loaded withlaughs. The comical skitsincluded: "Jump Off a Bridge"performed by various mem-bers, "Spartan Cheerleaders"performed by Kinsey Gregory& Allen Whitaker, "CouplesTherapy" performed by theseniors, "Bon Qui Qui" per-formed by the juniors, "Invisi-ble Bench" performed by vari-ous members, "Saturday NightLive's Peyton's Pep Talk" per-formed by various members,"The Match Game" performedby the juniors, a scene from"Step Brothers" performed bySteven Snyder, BrandonMahaney, Lance Reid, & Kar-aline Shoulders, "Mouthwash"performed by the sophomoresand "Small Percussion Group"performed by Hunter Shrum,Jonathan Smith, Dyer McCall,& Rori Jones.
My personal favorite was"Gas Station" performed byHunter Shrum, Taylor Whitak-er, & Zack Carter. The "GasStation" act included an elder-ly couple who were on theirway to see the Grand Canyon,
when "Earlene" (Taylor Whit-taker), who had hearing prob-lems, said "It's 3 o'clock andI've got to take my thyroidpill, and we need more gas!"When they 'pulled over' forgas, the attendant (ZackCarter) asked the elderly man(Hunter Shrum) where he wasfrom. The man replied, with asouthern accent, "We're fromMaaaacon Coouuunty". Ear-lene asked what the attendantsaid, and she repeated, in asqueal, "We're from Maaaaa-con Cooouuunty!". The elder-ly man replied "I already toldhim Earlene!". The Gas Sta-tion Attendant said to the eld-erly man, "I've been to MaconCounty a few times, and thewomen up there are dog ugly."Earlene then asked her hus-band what the attendant saidand he simply replied, "Hesaid he seen you before!"
The night was also loaded
with musical performances.The interact boys sang "DriftAway" while the girls sang"Suds In The Bucket". Othermusical acts included: "Can'tHurry Love" a duet performedby Katie Ballou and KristinGregory, an original composi-tion by Nathan Rodgers enti-tled "Don't Wait", a "GospelQuartet" performed by ZackWest, Baili Meador, KatieBallou, and Nathan Rodgers,Baili Meador, "Walking AfterMidnight" performed by SarahBelton, Baili Meador per-formed "Bring My ChildrenHome", Zack West performedan original composition called"Don't Run Away", and thejuniors performed a side-split-tin' musical number entitled"Ya'll Come".
Other performances includ-ed a line dance to the song"Good Time", a danced called"Hippy Hippy Shake" and"Taylor and Allen's jokes".
Before the finale, Mrs.Kathy Cothron, an InteractSponsor, wanted to take thetime to thank all of the Inter-act members. She explainedthat this year the Interact clubconcentrated on TornadoRelief.

Hunter Shrum was elected 2009-2010 District Secretary.
Mrs. Kathy Cothron and Mrs. Jada Law received a very spe-cial award, the Eagle Award. This award is in appreciationfor the many contributions for their work on the MaconCounty Tornado Relief Project and Leadership andDedication to Interact.
Outgoing District officers from Macon County Interact wereJonathon Smith, the Northwest Cluster Representative, andKarlee Driver, the Historian.
A century ago, a trip toNashville or Memphismight have taken days oreven weeks for Ten-nesseans living in ruralareas of the state. Eventoday, some of our resi-dents remain isolated fromour urban centers despitethe advancements made intransportation.
Some of these citizensdon*t own cars, some mayhave disabilities that limittheir independence, andothers may have reachedan age that they no longerfeel comfortable drivingthemselves. Unfortunately,a lack of public transporta-tion is limiting their abilityto work, receive an educa-tion, and stay active intheir communities.
Recognizing the gaps inservice, TDOT is workingto provide citizens in our
rural communities betteraccess to public transit. Inthe coming week, we willaward $3.6 million in fed-eral funding to both publicand private transitproviders to create a newIntercity Bus Program.
Our goal is to have anintercity bus service thatoffers set schedules andstandard pick up and dropoff locations across thestate by the end of 2009.This will mean betteraccess for citizens in moreplaces, but particularly inrural areas of the state.
These grant funds willhelp bring fixed route tran-sit services to more than 40cities and counties over thenext two years. The newfixed route transit lineswill connect rural citiesand counties to the closestcity with intercity bus serv-
ice. New feeder services to
Nashville, Cookeville,Jackson and Memphisshould begin later thisyear.
Transit plays an impor-tant role in Tennessee*stransportation network andcontributes significantly tothe state*s economichealth. This new programwill help fund bus lines toconnect Tennesseans tojobs, schools, and commu-nity activities; assist sen-iors and people with dis-abilities remain independ-ent; and help reduce con-gestion on our roadways.More information can beobtained by contactingTDOT*s Division of Mul-timodal Resources at 615-741-2781 or by visitingwww.tn.gov/tdot/public-trans/programs.htm .

Macon County high schoolstudents can get a jump start oncollege with dual enrollmentclasses from Volunteer StateCommunity College. Advisorssay it’s important for parents toconsider dual enrollment classesnow, if they want to get studentssigned up for the next schoolyear. The classes are collegelevel courses taught in area highschools, for college and highschool credit.
“There are some students whobuild up as many as 24 collegecredit hours by the time theygraduate from high school,” saidRobin Graves, Director of Off-Campus Sites at Vol State. “Theycould be classified as a junior bythe end of their second semesterof college.”
Vol State Dual Enrollment
credits can transfer to collegesand universities across the coun-try. The cost savings can be sig-nificant for parents, especiallywhen Tennessee grant money isincluded.
“The Tennessee Dual Enroll-ment grant pays $300 a semester,which makes the cost of one ofthese classes less than $100,”said Graves. “That’s far less thanyou would pay for a class at afour-year institution.”
“The lottery grant paperworkwas simple to fill out,” said TinaGregory. Her daughter Jamietook 15 hours of dual enrollmentclasses at Macon County HighSchool, and transferred thoseclasses to Tennessee Tech Uni-versity. “It saved us quite a bit,and every little bit counts.”
Dual enrollment can also help
high school students get readyfor college level work.
“College is different than highschool,” said Gregory. “Having asyllabus helped her to learn to setpriorities. The transfer creditmeans she is a semester ahead incollege and that takes some ofthe pressure off.”
“It makes the transition to col-lege easier,” Graves said.“They’re exposed to the collegeexperience while they are still ina comfortable setting.”
