Petition puts wheel tax on August 5th ballot

Curtis Halford (R) of Dyer announced he will seek a second term in the Tennessee House of Representatives.

Halford stated, “My family and I are grateful for the tremendous outpouring of support and encouragement during this process. We are humbled by the overwhelmingly positive comments sent our way.”

While serving as a representative in the legislature, Halford has served on the influential Health and Human Resources Committee, the Agriculture Committee and

BY WILLIAM G. MCFARLANDFor Margaret Bell and Allyson Bell Stephens,

formerly of Dyer but now living in Houston, cancer is a household word. Margaret considers herself a cancer survivor, but Allyson considers herself surviving with cancer.

Sixteen years ago Margaret was into her fifth chemo treatment after breast cancer surgery when Allyson found out she had breast cancer. Margaret and Allyson both discovered the cancer themselves. Neither had been sick. Allyson had grown up in a healthy family and had not had loved ones with cancer. But when she was a young mom with a three year old and a baby, Margaret was diagnosed with breast cancer and this led Allyson to check herself. With that first self-check, she found a place that just didn’t seem right. It was cancer. She had gone from a mom with babies to a patient. Allyson was 28 a the time. Margaret’s surgery was the week after her discovery; Allyson’s was immediately—five months after her Mom’s.

“I knew I had a hill to climb; I knew my God, my family, and my friends would be with me.” commented Margaret about her initial reaction to finding out she had cancer.

Allyson said, “I was shocked. It seemed unbelievable to me that God would allow so much—my mom, then me, and I had two children who needed their mom. I wasn’t angry—just confused, but I turned to God for help with my confusion, and He encouraged me and gave me the strength to press through one day at a time.”

Mother and daughter both describe cancer as “challenging.” Margaret’s after surgery treatment consisted of six chemo treatments and six weeks of radiation. All of that went well. That’s why she considers

County Mayor Joe Sheppard told members of the County Commission June 24 that Election Commission Administrator Molly Bailey had verified 1,578 names on petitions calling for a public referendum vote on the wheel tax hike.

The Commission voted to raise the wheel tax from the current $35 to $70.

Voters will have the opportunity to overturn the decision on the August 5 election ballot.

The Gibson County Democratic Party will be hosting a debate of candidates for the office of Gibson County Mayor, Thursday, July 8, 7 p.m.

The debate, similar to the one held prior to the Democratic Primary election, will be held at Peabody High School in Trenton. Cheri Childress will moderate.

Gibson County Sheriff’s office investigators are investigating a series of break-ins occurring during the early morning hours of June 22nd along China Grove Road, east of Rutherford. Homes, shops and vehicles alike were burglarized.

In one instance the homeowner awoke to discover the robbers inside the residence. The thieves fled when confronted.

BY CINDY EASTThe summer thunderstorms that rolled into the

area Friday night delayed, but did not stop the 15th Annual Gibson – North Relay For Life. The event raised $34,210 for the American Cancer Society. The top money raiser was the Dyer School team with $10,490. The Dyer CP Church team was second with $6,390. The Rutherford First Baptist team was third with $2,267.

This year marked the 26th anniversary for Relay For Life. In celebration, a beautiful cake decorated in the Relay colors of purple and white was displayed under the registration tent and enjoyed by cancer survivors after the Survivor Walk.

Once the skies cleared, the event began with Veronica Richards singing the “National Anthem” followed by Mary Beth Chandler singing “God Bless America.” Bro. John Coleman led the prayer.

The event sponsors were recognized. They are Inspirational Sponsors Duncan’s Pharmacy and Ulseth Machining and Manufacturing, $1,000; Hope Sponsor Alford’s Tire Service, $750; Survivor Sponsors City Lumber Company, Food Rite-Dyer, ConAgra Foods, Gibson County Utility District, Kirkland Cancer Center and Theriac

The Honorary Chairs were also recognized. They are Milinda Adams of Bradford, Brenda Carroll of Dyer, Janice Meeks of Kenton, Ruble Deen of Rutherford and Michael Gregory of Yorkville. Mrs. Deen was not able to attend.

Every cancer survivor who signed-in had their name read, along with the type of cancer they had and how many years since their diagnosis. Each survivor was given a balloon as they lined up for the Survivor Walk. Upon the conclusion of the walk, they released the balloons. A balloon bouquet was then released to symbolize cancer survivors who were not able to attend.

GOP women host debate for congressional candidates

BY CRYSTAL BURNSAs thunderstorms passed

through Gibson County last Thursday night, Republican candidates seeking the 8th Congressional District kept the atmosphere inside Humboldt General Hospital pleasant in a debate hosted by the Gibson County Republican Women.

Stephen Fincher, Dr. George Flinn, Dr. Ron Kirkland and Randy Smith outlined their plans for creating jobs, repealing the President’s healthcare bill, fighting illegal immigration, and boosting education with all four men agreeing the answer to most of the issues is to limit government involvement.

Mike Slater, host of The Mike Slater Show on 1390 WTJS, served as moderator. He noted that Rep. John Tanner has held the 8th Congressional seat for 22 years and told the audience that the election to replace the retiring representative will have “ramifications for generations.”

After the debate, Slater challenged the 200-plus in attendance to carefully evaluate the Republican and Independent candidates running for the seat in the November election, choose the “most conservative man” and vote for him against Sen. Roy Herron, the Democrat candidate.

Candidates were given five minutes to make opening statements and three minutes to respond to four pre-submitted questions.

In their opening statements, each candidate discussed the need to put conservative leaders in congress.

“I’m running as a conservative Republican to stop Obama and Pelosi from wrecking our country,” Fincher said.

Flinn also called out the

Speaker of the House.“Nancy Pelosi and the

liberal agenda are taking us down the wrong path,” he said.

Kirkland’s opening remarks focused on the “Obamacare” health bill.

“We don’t need to have a European, socialist solution to our problem,” he said. “Save Grandma. Unplug Pelosi.”

Smith said America must elect leaders who will put the focus back on the Constitution.

“We’ve allowed our elected representatives to ignore the one thing they’re sworn to uphold,” he said.

During the question and answer portion of the debate, the candidates’ plans for jobs, healthcare, immigration and education sounded similar.

Asked if government programs or tax policies were more important in creating jobs, all four men said tax policies because government cannot create meaningful jobs.

Kirkland proposed cutting spending by 10 percent across the board, and Smith said spending should be cut by 50 percent.

The second question asked if the recently passed healthcare bill should be changed or revoked. The candidates pledged to repeal it.

The third question asked if the candidates supported the State of Arizona in its efforts to end illegal immigration. Again the candidates agreed and said Tennesseans should join Arizona’s fight to enforce current immigration laws.

“The Governor of Arizona should be applauded for what she’s done,” Fincher said.

Finally, candidates were asked what should be done to ensure children are prepared

for the future and able to be leaders.

Fincher and Smith said the first step to improving education is to abolish the Department of Education, and Flinn and Kirkland agreed that local school districts and states should control education.

Milan arsenal jobsDuring the jobs segment

of the debate, Fincher and Kirkland discussed the Milan Army Ammunition Plant, which faces significant job losses due to American Ordnance’s plan to relocate several plant operations to Iowa.

“We’ve got to stand up and fight for these jobs,” Fincher said. “We can’t allow jobs to slip away from us.”

Fincher toured the Milan facility last Thursday afternoon.

“We have to preserve jobs at the Milan arsenal,” Kirkland told the crowd. “We don’t need any nuclear waste in Milan.”

American Ordnance has said the MLAAP could be used to store depleted uranium.

After the debate, Flinn and Smith weighed in on the local issue.

“We can’t allow it to close or lose jobs,” Flinn said. “I’d like to see it increase.”

“It stinks,” Smith said simply. “There should be a way to keep it open.”

The Gibson County Republican Women organized and hosted the debate.

Peggy Murphy, president of the group, said getting all the candidates to agree on a date was challenging but lauded the men for making participation a priority.

“This is such an important seat for Republicans to take,” Murphy said. “It’s important for voters to hear what they stand for. This is the year of red.”

Gov. Phil Bredesen said Tuesday that he would work with State Sen. Lowe Finney (D-Jackson) and other federal and state lawmakers to keep more than 500 ammunition production jobs at the Milan Arsenal.

“Gov. Bredesen has brought thousands of jobs to this state, and he told me today that he is just as intent in keeping them here,” Finney said after wrapping up a Monday afternoon conference call with Governor Phil Bredesen and other state officials regarding the arsenal.

An Army proposal would move the jobs to Iowa and replace them with depleted uranium to be stored at the

Milan facility. The exchange is an unfair one for Gibson and Carroll counties, which are already suffering with double-digit unemployment.

“Here you have rural counties that could use some help, and now they’re talking about taking away more jobs,” Finney said. “I’m not going to sit back and let that happen. We need to show that we’re serious about keeping these jobs.”

Bredesen told state officials Monday that he would submit a letter of support during public debate on the matter to keep the jobs at the Milan Arsenal. Bredesen also said he will ask for a new and improved

environmental impact study, to be conducted by an independent third party.

Lawmakers have roundly criticized a previous study for its lack of detail and an apparent conflict of interest concerning the company that prepared the study. They were also critical of claims that storing nuclear waste at the facility would bring jobs back to the area.

“No one wants this facility to be used as a dumping ground, especially at the expense of so many good paying jobs,” Finney said. “I’m glad Governor Bredesen will help spearhead our state’s efforts at keeping these jobs in West Tennessee.”

The board also reviewed the system’s volunteer program.

Medina Elementary and Rutherford School principals Calvin Bailey and Jody Hinson both expressed their appreciation for the extra assistance volunteers provide.

Medina schools’ growth spurs board to hire more teachersregular volunteers who help with teacher collaboration, pre and post assessments, picture day, and other activities. Volunteers pay $50 for fingerprinting, which the school reimburses if the volunteer puts in at least 50 hours during the school year.

Hinson also said he had eight volunteers who worked an estimated 120

hours during the past school year.

After hearing from the principals, board members voted to approve the volunteer program for another year.

The board also voted to approve paper and camera bids.

RIS Paper Company submitted a low bid of $27.75 per case for 685 cases

at the cost of $ 19,009.20. Edutech submitted the low bid for seven bus cameras, DVR, and cabling for $15,400.

With the purchase of the cameras, all of the school district’s buses will be outfitted with security cameras.

Adult Leadership class of 2010 completes program

from page 1

The 2010 adult class of Leadership Gibson County participated in graduation ceremonies on Thursday, June 10th at the conference center in Humboldt. The program graduated 10 dedicated and concerned Gibson Countians.

Those completing the program were: Philip Anglin, Terry Fields, Bill Joyner, John Langley, Tim Luckey, Earl McAlister, Grant Newell, Gary Pyron, Frank Rittenberry and Rick Shultz.

The graduates enjoyed a delicious dinner catered by Southern Pride Catering from Medina. State Senator Lowe Finney was the keynote speaker.

Each group is responsible for a class project. This

group established several drop-off points throughout the county for donations of clothing and canned foods to be distributed to victims of the May flood. The items have been collected and will be distributed through Christian Endeavors in Dyer, Helping Hands in Humboldt, Mustard Seed in Milan and Northwest Economic Council in Trenton.

This is the 22nd year of the program that has now graduated 321 citizens from across Gibson County. All of these people have made a commitment to work for the betterment of Gibson County and have generously given their time and energy to learn the critical issues facing the county.

Past participants of Leadership Gibson County include mayors, county commissioners, city council members and one judge. In order for Gibson County to continue to prosper and grow, it is important that we develop good leaders.

The program is designed to expose participants to the capabilities within Gibson Co. and instruct them how to lead in the community. The Milan, Humboldt and Greater Gibson County Chambers of Commerce hope to accomplish this through the leadership program.

If you are interested in participating in 2011, please call your local chamber office now to get on the waiting list. The sessions will begin in early spring.

Halford has supported efforts to restrain government spending and is an opponent of increased taxes. He opposed efforts to increase the tax on cable TV as well as the proposed tax on free breakfast at hotels and motels.

An avid outdoorsman, Halford supports our Second Amendment freedoms. He is pro-life and was honored with an endorsement from Tennessee Right to Life in his 2008 campaign. He voted in favor of a resolution urging Congress to recognize Tennessee’s sovereignty under the 10th Amendment of our Constitution. Halford was instrumental in obtaining funding for Carroll Academy, which is a school for at-risk students.

1,560 petition names were needed to force the referendum, said Shepard. “They had 3,000 more names on petitions, but once they got enough they just quit.”

The Commission proposed that names of petition signers be published in local newspapers.

“(Kenneth Smithson) made the motion and they all agreed, but that’s up to the newspapers whether or not they want to publish the names,” said Shepard. “It would take up a lot of space.”

Com. Tim Luckey provided statistics on comparative tax rates with other West Tennessee counties.

“It makes us look pretty good,” said Mayor Shepard about Gibson County’s property tax rate of 72 cents and wheel tax rate of $35. “We would still be in line with other counties even if we went up on the wheel tax.”

School district tax rates were not included in the comparisons. Gibson Co. and Carroll Co. are unique in the state in having several special school districts that levy their own taxes.

Gibson Co. leaders have emphasized that some school tax rates are approximately three times as large as the county tax rate.

Gibson Co. was the only county among ten compared that is putting no tax revenues into its Debt Service account. All revenues from Gibson

homeowners to be in their homes are particularly troubling. We are working hard, utilizing every resource, developing information to bring those responsible to swift justice,” said Sheriff Chuck Arnold.

“I am asking citizens for their assistance by reporting any information they may encounter, as no lead is too small, no bit of information insignificant. I, or the investigators, may be contacted by calling the Sheriff’s Office at 855-1121 or Central Dispatch at 692-3714,” said Arnold.

Suspicious Vehicle Sought

The Sheriff’s Office is asking for public assistance in locating a vehicle and persons of interest possibly involved in recent thefts in the Yorkville area. The vehicle is described as an older white 4-door Chevy believed to have Dyer County license plates and occupied by two white males. Several citizens reported this vehicle and occupants acting suspiciously while driving around areas north of Yorkville.

“We have numerous sightings of the car but despite our efforts it is yet to be located. The recent arrest of a Yorkville man solved several home burglaries; however thefts from several vehicles remain under investigation. I must emphasize citizens should take no action of their own but I would appreciate them calling the Central Dispatch Office at 692-3714 should they observe a vehicle matching the description,” said Arnold.

County’s 72-cent property tax go either to the General Fund (60 cents) or the Highway Dept. (12 cents).

“We have no money going into debt service,” said Mr. Shepard. “We collect 72 cents and 60 cents goes into the General Fund and 12 cents into the Highway Dept. If you don’t have a good Debt Service fund you won’t be able to get loans and your bond rating goes down.”

to comply with state law. MTAS submitted examples of projections to show how this could be achieved, suggesting Rutherford should consider adopting the new rate structure as shown in Example C. All Expenses should be closely monitored and controlled. Operational expenses have grown from $183,486 in 2006 to $271,720 in 2009. That is an $88,234 increase over three years. Revenue dropped from $228,136 to $211,513 over the same time period. This represents a reduction of $16,623.

Under the Example C rate plan, the monthly base for water would be $10.45 with each additional 1,000 gallons costing $2.90. The monthly base for sewer services would be $10.45 plus each additional 1,000 gallons costing $2.90.

The state has set a hearing date in September, so the city must have a plan in hand to get back into the black by that time. The council favored Example C as a flat rate tax and came to a consensus for MTAS to write up an ordinance to adopt plan C and hold two readings for its confirmation.

Rutherford must raisethe new rates, if adopted, the same household will pay $26.70 for 1,000 gallons. Under the current rates a household using 2,000 gallons of water pays $22.30, while under the new rates 2,000 gallons will cost $32.50. 4,000 gallons costs $34.30 presently, while under the new rates it would be $44.10 etc.

The city will also set up, in the new budget, a plan for the replacement of old water meters in the city system. The older a water meter becomes the less accurate it becomes. More volumes of processed water goes unaccounted for with worn out meters, thus adding to the department’s shortfalls in revenues.

The city also introduced a new ordinance to raise the rates for solid waste collection due to increasing costs of fuel and related factors passed on to the city by contract with Barker Brothers Co. One time per week pick up rates monthly for residential pull cart will be $11.54, small business pull cart will be $18.90, a two yard dumpster will be $85.07, four yard will be $115.04, and a six yard will be $141.46. The council approved the measure.

A proposal for the city to discuss the possibility of annexing land on the by-pass

in the future was cut short when Attorney Jeff Smith informed the city board that the city must fulfill its present obligations for supplying city services to areas already annexed in the past before contemplating annexing any other areas presently located in the county.

Mayor Keith Cardwell explained that the matter was to be only up for discussion at the meeting and that no pursuit of annexation was contemplated at the time.

In other business brought before the board, Alderman Dusty Emerson reported that the city was missing 25 street signs and he was concerned that ambulance and other emergency service may have a hard time locating streets. He also stated that Police Chief Mike Hensley needed a dozen stop signs. The signs cost $15.95 a piece. After some discussion the council decided to take action after the forming of the new budget and scheduled the sign replacement issue to the next regularly scheduled meeting.

Emerson also recommended Jennifer Deen to become the city’s new attorney with pay at the same rate as the former attorney. The board approved Deen as the new city attorney.

MCEWEN RETIREMENT - Kenneth McEwen (second from right), City of Dyer’s city recorder for over 30 years, was honored with a retirement dinner Monday, June 21st at Joe & Deana’s Bypass Cafe’. His last day of work was Friday. Over 65 people attended the dinner including city clerk Tracy Taylor, Dyer Mayor Sam Thompson and new City Recorder Jason Griggs.

BY CLAYBURN PEEPLESSarah Palin, the former office holder,

(governor of Alaska) who stays in the headlines far more now than when she held office, is the subject of yet another controversy. No, I’m not talking about the accusation that she has had cosmetic surgery, although several gallons of ink have been wasted discussing the question.

No, the latest controversy involves a statement she made the other day on The Today Show. She referred to herself as a conservative feminist.

You would think she had claimed to have invented the Internet. Reaction from self-proclaimed feminist spokeswomen was fast and furious. “How dare she call herself a feminist?” was the tenor of almost all the criticism. “She’s not pro-choice!”

Some critics went so far as to call Palin and other republican women who have risen to prominence this year “faux feminists.” They have benefitted from the feminist movement, so goes the argument, but they have questioned some of the sacred tenets of the sisterhood. They are not democrats, they don’t see men as enemies and they are pro-life.

Of course, there is no shortage of critics on the right side of the political aisle on this issue either. Palin’s defenders called her critics “Stepford feminists” after the women who unquestioningly, and adoringly, did their husbands’ bidding in the movies, The Stepford Wives. Doctrinaire feminists, so goes this line of criticism, can’t even think about deviating from classic, liberal, feminist orthodoxy. That’s why, they say, professional feminists are fuming with anger over this year’s pantheon of female republican stars.

Which brings up the question, what, exactly is feminism? Is it a philosophy? A doctrine? Or does it simply refer to the idea that women should be treated fairly, which they, historically, have not?

Well, apparently the definition depends on whom you ask, but one thing’s for certain. Forty years after the movement’s beginning, survey after survey shows that women are unhappier than ever. Why? Again no one seems to know. Perhaps it is that they, like men, are working harder, much harder, than ever before. Maybe some of them have found that the men’s jobs they used to be closed out of are not nearly so fun as they appear to be on television and in their fantasies.

Or maybe they are unhappier because the “choice” they fought so hard to win turned out to be a word, and not an option, when it comes

to work and child rearing. Maybe because for far too many of them, “having it all” turned into “paying for it all.”

Life may be fairer, but it is also harder than ever before for women these days. So hard, in fact, some women are looking longingly back at the bad old days when everybody pretended that father knew best. That may be why a new book, Smart Girls Marry Money, has created such a stir. The authors, both women, one a physician, the other a television producer, met on a playground when their children were two and a half. They noticed, they say, that among the mothers there, only those who had married men with money could afford to spend as much time with their children as they really wished to.

Their solution? Marry men who are financially secure. Romantic love, they argue, is a form of madness that lasts, at most, two years. After that, the financial aspects of a marriage determine, more than anything else, whether or not it will succeed.

They point out that it is only in the last 200 years that parents have allowed their children to marry for romantic attraction, and that when the trend began, critics predicted, with eerie accuracy, that the divorce rate would skyrocket to as high as 50%.

The reason? If being in love is a valid reason to marry, then logically, no longer being in love is a reason to divorce.

Psychologists tell us women already marry for money, so to speak. Women, they say, are hard wired to look for mates who will provide security for them and their children. Once that meant the strongest warrior, but now it may mean the man with the best 401K plan.

“It’s not,” as one woman who was unashamedly looking for a wealthy mate, put it, “that we’re all gold diggers.” It seems that nearly all women agree that a man who makes a decent amount of money and is responsible with it will always be more attractive than others.

But not everyone agrees. “Marriage,” said a critic of the book, “is exhausting enough with someone you love — imagine doing it with someone you don’t!”

But as more and more people are becoming really wealthy, it seems more and more women, and men too, are checking for impressive bank balances of their prospective mates before saying “I do.”

Reminds me of something my dad once repeated to me; “The man who marries for money earns every penny he gets.”

Kenneth McEwen’s last official day of work was Friday, June 25. He started working for the city of Dyer as City Recorder on November 19, 1979, completing 30 years, seven months and seven days.

A retirement dinner was held in his honor Monday, June 21st at Joe and Deana’s Bypass Café. Family members, friends, city officials and employees attended.

Kenneth has helped move the city forward through the years while exhibiting leadership and stewardship. Among the grants he helped secure for the City of Dyer were the David Robinson Recreation Park grant, Dyer Industrial Park grant, Bureau of Recreation Park grant, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) - Housing Improvement grant, CDBG water tank improvements, CDBG sewer line improvements, Wastewater Plant grant, Environmental Protection Agency Wastewater Plant Grant, USDA Wastewater Plant Bond, Rural Development Administration (RDA) water tank bond, Rural Development, Administration bond and

grant for wells and water and sewer service to EXPO Center, Tennessee Housing Grants for new homes and renovate homes, Tennessee Local Park and Recreation Fund Grants, Firefighter Assistance Grants, and numerous water and sewer system upgrade grants.

Among the awards McEwen has received for his service are the State of Tennessee Municipal Clerk and Recorder in 1996, International Institute of Municipal Clerks received Certified Municipal Clerk Certificate in 1997, Professional Excellence and Achievement of the Honor of Certified Municipal Clerk from City of Dyer in 1997, Dyer Police Department Award in 2001, Tennessee Association of Municipal Clerks and Recorders-the Distinguished Service Award

in 2002 and admitted to International Institute of Municipal Clerks Master Municipal Clerk Academy in 2003.

McEwen also served on various boards and served as board liaison for the Dyer Industrial Park.

McEwen also established computer programs for the city including accounting, payroll, and utility billing system, court records management and advance utility meter reading system from handwritten to automatic handheld computer system

He is a 1961 graduate of Peabody High School and a 1962 graduate of West TN Business College. He served in the National Guard from 1964-1970. He married Shelby Thompson in 1967. The couple had three children and five grandchildren.

McEwen retires with 30 years service to the City of Dyer

BY LAURA MAI SELPHI hung my flag out before

my early walk Friday morning. There was a little breeze and the flags were blowing up and down East College Street. Sure we are celebrating July 4th. Somehow I missed seeing those who hung the flags on

the poles. Thank you! Leave them up as long as you can. I really enjoy them each year.

Dyer has been my home since 1935. My daddy, S.A. Carroll, moved into a barber shop where Lori Cathey’s Video Ventures Studio burned, along with damage to three other buildings. Later

he moved on Main Street with Rice Boucher.

My family loved Dyer as I do. There was a time when I knew everybody down College Street. Someone else lives there now. It is that way for a few of us all over town.

This is my home. Within the past six weeks three of my friends from First Baptist have moved to a new home

– Jack, Bo, and Martha Nell. Who is next?

It seems this one-track mind has slipped off track again. I will try to do better.

Thanks to all of you who have worked and are working to make July 4th a great celebration. I can’t name everything, but I read and see things.

The Mini-Park tells the

story! Weeds have been cut along the railroad tracks. There is no way to know how many have helped carry this through.

God bless America. Watch over our troops and families.

Thanks to all of you and my hometown, Dyer. Happy 4th of July celebration

Leslie Clifford was honored by her co-workers last Thursday for her birthday.

They all brought food to work for a celebratory lunch as well as gifts for the honoree. On Sunday, Leslie also celebrated with her family members and was treated to her favorite dessert prepared by her sister, Laurie Becton.

It was a wonderful day last Monday for Cindy Lamar as she was blessed to be able to visit with Tammy Wade of Lexington, a dear, long-time friend. It had been quite a lengthy time since the ladies were last together so they had a wonderful time catching up on all the news.

Since their last visit they both had become grandmothers so the pictures and stories were plentiful. Along with Tammy’s grandson, Brayden the ladies enjoyed a delicious Chinese lunch in downtown Lexington.

Sincere condolences are extended to the Short family as they mourn the loss of David Short. Mr. Short passed away as the result of a 4-wheeler accident. He was a former Kenton banker and will be sorely missed.

Cindy Lamar joined Amanda McAlister in Trezevant to watch Drake McAlister

and his Greenfield All-Star teammates as they took on the North Gibson All-Stars for the Trezevant Invitational T-Ball Tournament.

After a long 6 innings and a tough fought game the Greenfield All-Stars captured the Championship and will move on to the Regional T-Ball Tournament in Greenfield next week.

Food for Thought: Sacrifice: the surrender of self for another’s good. We all have the potential, if we only would. It can be as big as the life you live, or as little as a moment of time you give.

There is one sacrifice that is already done. It was made “once and for all” by God’s own Son. He gave His life that you and I might know, Life eternal with Jesus in His heavenly glow.

Prayer List: Preston White, Aaron Whitworth, David Stephenson, Easton Hopper, Regina Miller, Bobby and Carol Primrose, Elmer Williams, Paul Lee Williams, Jesse and Elaine Davidson, Eurby Sanders, Freda Lamar, Henry Herane, Lil Wardlow, Sam Weatherly, Tommy Oliver, Clint McLodge, and Racine Hodges.

I spent my Sunday in two houses of the Lord where my ancestry runs deep. Bethpage Baptist celebrated their 150th anniversary with a beautiful service of singing, testimony, and history. The two churches are so close in distance yet both so busy about the Lord’s work was a beautiful sight to see.

Sally Baird reported a great Bible School at North Union this past week. Forty people attending each night including all the wonderful helpers and leaders. The title was “Egypt Joseph’s Journey from Prison to Palace”. They reported a great time in Egypt as everyone dressed the part working in tents making bricks and baskets. Some reported they did not like eating the food of that time.

Bro. Don’s sermon centered on Joseph’s life. Everything you attempt, do it as unto the Lord. Joseph was a faithful man to everything he was put in charge of. Whether it was Potipher’s household, the jail, or when

Pharaoh made him 2nd in command of Egypt. God is in charge of your life and will bring circumstances in your life. Start saying yes to God. Ask God what he wants you to do.

Danielle Rickman was in charge of the offeratory hymn.

Happy Birthday wishes were sung to Robert Whitley.

Elvira brought a great children’s sermon dressed as a cowgirl since she had been out on the rodeo circuit. She brought her saddle, bridle, rope, and all the gear for a horse. She gave us a biblical lesson as she told the use of each item and closed in prayer.

The fish dinner and all the trimmings was prepared by the youth leaders and was a fund raiser for their mission trip to Eldon, Iowa to do a Bible school in July. The food was delicious and was enjoyed with several visitors. The count on the board said 70. Was hard to account for everyone.

On June 23, 15 members and one guest, Jesse Powell joined together at the First Baptist fellowship hall. We were pleased to have Mrs. Geneva Ward back with us. We were saddened by the passing of our dear friend and colleague Mrs. Martha Nell Ryal. Her absence will be missed.

In the absence of Bro. John Fields, Jane Forseyth called the meeting to order with a reading and blessing on the food.

Tyree White offered prayer for the concerns of Jere Bailey, Bill Pack, Tony Jones, Bro. Marcus Kelley, the mission team in Ecuador, the Vandergriffe family, the

family of Martha Nell Ryal and Moneema Pentecast family.

Everyone joined in singing “There is a Name I love to Hear” and “At Calvary.”

A warning reading recent break-ins in the area was given so be alert. Our devotional time centered around members citing their favorite Bible verse and how they had such an impact on their memory. It was a wonderful time of sharing.

Jane Forseyth dismissed with prayer.

Be very cautious with the heat and heat index.

God bless each of you!

Smithson - Rush

We had a very exciting day on Sunday as we all came together to praise and worship the Lord.

Scott Fields led us in our opening hymn “Trust and Obey.”

We all enjoyed Scott’s morning devotional on “Doing what God needs done.”

Keith Hamlin opened services in prayer. We all dismissed to our Sunday school classes where Ms. Christy opened us in prayer for our many prayer concerns and then did a great job teaching us our lesson from 1 Corinthians 7:1-40. What should I do? Our life goal is to follow God’s plan for our life with regard to marriage.

Bro. John Fields dismissed our class in prayer.

Bro. Steve had been ministering to those in the Dyer Nursing Home and was back in time for our morning worship hour that began with Elaine Fields playing the piano and Kathy Hooper the organ as Scott Fields and the choir led us in the hymn “Wonderful words of Life.”

Mike Fields opened us in prayer. Rejoice in the Lord always.Bro. John presented us with certification awards from our winter bible study Parables of the kingdom from the book of Matthew.

We all shared in a time of handshakes and hugs with our visitors and church family.Bro. Steve dedicated our special music “Swing Low Sweet Chariot” and “Amazing Grace” in memory of Howard Vandegriffe.

The choir did a beautiful job singing “I’ve got a Mansion just Over the Hilltop.”

Bro. Steve’s message was from 2 Corinthians 4:1-18. Derek White closed morning

services in prayer as the hymn “Jesus is Calling” was sung.We all welcomed our newest members William and Jennifer McDonald to the Keely Mill church family.

Our Sunday night services began with Stephen Fields leading us in the hymn “Since Jesus Came into my Heart.”

Mike Fields opened us in prayer. We all dismissed to our discipleship training classes.

Jarid Warren opened our class in prayer and Mike Fields did a good job teaching us our lesson, growing in all directions. John 15:4. Scott Fields dismissed class in prayer.

Our Sunday night worship hour began with Scott Fields leading us in the hymn “All the Way my Saviour Leads Me.”

Bro. Steve and the Keely Mill Church family held a Licensing Service where Keith Hamlin gave testimony and shared scripture from Ephesians 4:1-16 with us. He was then voted on by the church family and presented with a certificate of license where he has given evidence that God has called him into the gospel ministry and was licensed to preach the gospel as he may have opportunity.

Stephen Fields led all the men of the church in prayer as they prayed over Keith. The hymn “Amazing Grace” closed our Sunday night services.

We thank the Lord for our visitors and invite you to come join us as we praise and worship the Lord.

Sundays at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m.

The Keely Mill church family sends their love, prayers and sympathy to the family of Howard Vandegriffe.

Dyer Church of Christ By Sabrina Sullivan

Morning worship services had an attendance 104 and 84 in Sunday school.

Perfect attendance was the Cradle Roll class with Jackie Barron and Tina McClain, the 4 and 5 year olds with Donna Abbott and the 3rd – 5th grade with Mynonne Tate.

The message for the morning service came from the book of Matthew 21:28-31, The Parable of the Two Sons.

The message for the evening came from the book of Psalm 51, Turn to God for all things.

Remember in Prayer: Ricky Carson, Mynonne Tate’s sister, Damon Campbell, Martha Todd, Shirley Ashworth, Terry Black and all of our shut-ins and those in the nursing home.

Congratulations to Kristin Roberts and Bradley Skinner on their engagement this week. May God bless them

in their wonderful journey together.

Thanks to everyone who participated in The Young at Heart Banquet this last Saturday night. I don’t know when I’ve had a better time getting involved. The food was great and the Hee Haw entertainment was even better. I didn’t know we had so many talented young people. Thanks again to Laura Speer, Connie Roberts, Joey and Jackie Barron, Brad Clark and all the young folks who helped out.

A n n o u n c e m e n t s : Make plans to attend our upcoming VBS July 19-22. We have a lot of surprises in store for this year. We will be having biblical based curriculum on the parables of Jesus, Learning Centers with visual and hands on learning with period costumes and adult classes with guest speakers. We hope to see you there.

From the Dyer Station Celebration Committee

I want to apologize for our news being absent from last weeks paper. I had surgery on the 16th. This was to be an overnight surgery and I expected to come home on Thursday. This was not the case as I began to have some nausea and swelling in my hands. I was not released until Sunday to return home. I am thankful to be recovering very well and expect to be back doing the things I like to do in a few days.

The writer of Hebrews tells us in chapter 1:1,2 that “God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds”. Our topic of discussion was “God Hath spoken.” Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. (Romans 10:17). Without faith it is impossible to please God. (Hebrews 11:6) Therefore, without the Word of God we cannot please Him.

It is reasonable to believe that the God who created us would communicate with his creation. (Psalms 94:9-

11) The God that made us rational thinking beings is Himself a rational thinking being, necessarily of superior thought guided by infinite wisdom.

Just as a parent is able to communicate with an infant child, so God has made Himself know to us through His Word. The Bible is the means by which God has spoken. How else would we know God, except through His Word? The evidence supporting this claim is overwhelming.

The Bible is one of unity. The Bible is made up of 66 books written by about 40 men over a 1500 year span, with a harmonious thread and essential agreement characteristic of a single Mind. (1 Corinthians 2:6-13) The knowledge revealed in the Book certifies its supernatural character. Bible prophecy written years before has been fulfilled in the New Testament.

Since God has spoken to us in His Word, I must not neglect what He said. The Bible is still the best selling book of all time. However, it is probably the least read book that is owned. If I truly believe that the Bible

is the inspired Word from God, I will read and study it with a willing enthusiasm and I will take time for the consideration of it. Since God has spoken, I should expect to understand Him. I should not just rely upon the “preacher”, family member or close friend to “tell” me what the Bible says or what I should believe. Numerous times in the Scriptures we are warned that men can and will lead us astray if we are not diligent to test the things we are taught. Out confidence should be in the Word and not men. We are told that we can know and do the truth. (John 8:32)

Since God has spoken, I must tell others. What if I knew of a cure for cancer? Would I not want to tell others about my cure? Of course I would want to tell as many people as I could so they could also benefit from my cure. Since God has spoken, I expect Him to enforce His Word. God will do what He says! We all must be prepared to meet Him on judgment day! He has promised us eternal life if we will but “follow Him” and damnation if we fail to do so. Do you truly believe that “God hath spoken”?

Clora’s Chapel By Robin McKell

Sunday at Cloras Chapel was great. It was a good example of when all of God’s children get together oh, what a time.

Beginning with Sunday school to the evening youth program our spirits were uplifted in the name of Jesus.

Lately we have had more members and visitors to worship with us at Sunday School and worship service. We are moving forward.

We had visitors from Fairview Baptist Church of Dyer and Badgett Chapel. Rev. Myles Christened Kayden Fisk, Kiera and Jamarr’s cute and frisky little baby boy. They were all smiling and very happy! We thank God for

our visitors and pray that we continue to have more.

The doors at Cloras Chapel are always open.

Elder Keith Harris did a wonderful job of teaching Sunday School. He is really teaching. Deaconess Brenda Dammond, Peggy Bonds, Sis. Yolanda Bradford, Shinnell Ivie, Sis. Robin McNeil, Elders McNeil and Simpson has been working with the youth. A lot of youth has been attending Sunday School and Bible Study and we are so thankful.

Minister Michael Gaines preached our annual youth day program. He was dynamic. His subject was “Save Me Lord and Don’t Throw Me Back.” The

Youth choir really sang and the spirit was high.

Minister Jesse Austin preached our Sunday morning service and was on fire for the Lord. He preached the word from Judges 16: 1 and 15. He is also the owner of New Life BBQ and Catering Service at 682 North Main St. in Dyer. They are closed on Monday but open from Tuesday - Sunday. 10 a.m. - 6:30 p.m. The food is delicious.

Shinnell and her son, Jaykayden had a safe trip from Nashville this weekend. They visitied with Jaykayden’s grandmother and papa. We thank God for their safe trip.

Congratulations goes out to Sis. Reina Farris who graduated from West Tennessee Business College on Friday night.

We are so proud of her. We pray that God will continue to keep her and that she keeps up the good work. Others in the community that graduated with her were Nick Albea, Hollis Albea, Jr. and Melissa Simpson. Sis. Willie Harris will be expecting a grandson and we say congratulations!

Cloras Chapel 2nd annual Women’s Conference will be August 7, 2010 on Saturday and end Sunday, August 8, 2010. There will be an open forum and discussions on women issues. More details will be revealed.

We thank God for blessing us and remember everything that happens to us that is good, God did it. We love you first lady Diane Myles.

Laneview Baptist ChurchHope everyone is staying

cool this week. We had a wonderful

service this past Sunday at Laneview. We enjoyed specials in both our services by Tim Fout, Debra Fout, Katylin Kyle and Johnny Cavender.

Bro. Darryl and family were still on vacation this past Sunday.

We had Mrs. Ann Thompson playing the piano and enjoyed two guest pastors Bro. Max Walker in the morning service and Bro. Curtis Dennison in the evening service. It appears that God is wanting our attention because both ministers had the same theme. “America needs to come back to God.”

We need to bring back the values of our forefathers who were not ashamed to take a stand for our God.

The signs are happening

all around us. Time is drawing near. God wants our attention. He is in control. We are searching for answers when God is the only answer.

We must humble ourselves, confess our sins, and ask for His guidance. If you want miracles to happen talk to the Man that can make it happen. He’s done it before and will again. Ask! Several events are upcoming at Laneview in the next month. July 26-30 V.B.S. from 6 to 8:30. This year’s theme is ‘Under Construction”and is for ages preschool (three year olds) - 6th grade.

We are also happy to announce our note burning service August 1st. Everyone is invited. We will have more information in the weeks ahead. Let your light shine for Him this week and see what happens! God Bless!

Bethpage By Joyce Brown

Around one hundred forty members, former members, friends and other families came together to celebrate the One Hundred Fiftieth Anniversary of Bethpage Baptist Church. What a sweet spirit permeated the entire day. The music was beautiful, the preaching inspired, the meal delicious, the fellowship enjoyable and the program very special.

In the morning service, Dr Garry Burkacki, a former pastor, brought the sermon titled “The Beauty Of Unity” taken from Psa 133. It was good to have him with us and to hear him preach again.

Janice Littleton and Tina McMackin did a beautiful job at the beginning of worship playing “My Tribute.” Their offering piece was “Give Thanks” and they played “The Master Of The Sea” after the benediction.

We had an extended time of greeting as the many visitors were welcomed and we closed that time with our favorite “Victory In Jesus.”

Special music was by Charles Perryman

as he did a wonderful job on “Beulah Land.” The fellowship hall and gym area were beautifully decorated with wildflowers in antique canning jars on pastel cloths adorned with crocheted and embroidered pieces.

Also on the tables and at other available places were displayed old and new pictures, old bulletins, old fans and other memorabilia.

There was a slide show on the big screen that included hundreds of photos for all to enjoy while we ate. Following the bountiful meal, we assembled in the sanctuary for the afternoon program. Bro James, our current pastor, had opening remarks and Brock Lowrance had the first special song “Amazing Grace, My Chains Are Gone.” Other special music was “As The Deer” by Logan Cochran and Charles Perryman and “The Anchor Holds” by Larry Simmons. The choir sang the old hymn “Wonderful Grace of Jesus.”

Speakers in the afternoon

were Roger Cochran, Bro. Tony Michael and Bro. Garry Burkacki. Mrs Jo Griggs presented a framed photograph of the old church.

Mrs. Oneida Sellers was honored as the oldest member in attendance. Riley Littleton and Jo Griggs were honored as those who had been members the most years. Bro Randy Pool from Gibson Baptist Association presented Bethpage with a plaque from the Tennessee Baptist Convention in honor of our 150th Anniversary.

I wish space would allow the names of all who traveled to attend this special day, but just know that we were honored to have you and thank you for sharing this special day at Bethpage.

Many thanks go to Bro. James Taylor and all the committees that worked hard to make this occasion the success it was, but our sincere gratitude goes to our Heavenly Father who made it all possible by giving his Son so that all could be saved. That is why we have a church and a reason to celebrate.

FRISBEE GOLF – Dyer School was awarded a $2000 grant from Coordinated School Health in order to buy equipment for Frisbee Golf. This is a relatively new sport to the area but is one that all can enjoy and utilize in order to achieve and maintain good physical health. The concept of the game is the same as standard golf but instead of using a golf ball one uses a Frisbee disc and a stand. The students of Dyer School have already had a chance to use this equipment during physical education classes and it was also recently used as part of the junior high good behavior party. We look forward to the community being able to use the equipment as part of the fall festival activities for next year. Also, if any group in the community would like to “check-out” this equipment please call the school for information on its availability.

The University of Tennessee Board of Trustees approved a 9 percent instate tuition increase for students attending the University of Tennessee at Martin effective for the 2010 fall semester. Approval came Thursday during the board’s annual meeting in Knoxville.

Instate tuition and fees, including the new tuition rate, will now cost undergraduate

students an additional $210.50 or $3,095 per semester to attend UT Martin. Full-time undergraduate enrollment is a minimum of 12 hours. Out-of-state undergraduate tuition will also increase 9 percent for an additional $722.50 or a total cost of $9,300 per semester.

“This increase will enable UT Martin to sustain a high

level of academic excellence and personalized student services while still holding tuition levels well below other states,” said Dr. Tom Rakes, UT Martin chancellor.

Tuition and fees will increase $253 for instate graduate students at UT Martin for a total cost of $3,582 per semester starting this fall. Total cost for out-of-state graduate students will increase $765 to $9,787 per semester. Full-time graduate enrollment is nine hours per semester.

Other actions involving UT Martin that were approved included:

•A two-year pilot regional tuition rate for undergraduate students who meet current admissions standards but reside in three Mississippi counties contiguous to the state. This regional rate would include all in-state charges plus an additional 25 percent out-of-state differential for eligible students from Alcorn, Tippah and Tishomingo counties. The regional tuition rate will begin fall 2010. Since 1998, UT Martin has administered the UT Martin McNairy County Center/Selmer, which serves McNairy County and the Southwest Tennessee area bordering Mississippi.

•The naming of the alumni center as the Nick and Cathy Dunagan Alumni Center in honor of the Dunagans, both UT Martin alumni. He is chancellor emeritus and she is the university’s former first lady.

•The naming of the Kelly Murray Investment Management Room in the Business Administration Building; the Steven E. Rogers Media Center in the Paul Meek Library; the Kathleen Elam Multipurpose Room in the Bob Carroll Football Building; the Houston Gordon Museum in the Paul Meek Library; and the Dorotha Norton Classroom in Gooch Hall. •A $3.3 million campus lighting upgrade. •A $20 special course fee/academic enrichment fee for Department of Agriculture, Geosciences and Natural Resources classes that is estimated to generate $34,860 annually to be used for experiential learning.

surgeries, and chemo therapy. The past 12 years have been treatments that are anti-estrogen based medications. One round of treatments took the hearing away from her right ear. Some of these these pills and injections have worked for only six months but thanks to continued research and the development of new medications, Allyson has continued to enjoy her morning cup of coffee. As stated, she considers herself as “surviving with cancer” rather than being a “cancer survivor”.

In 1997, after her 1994 surgery, Allyson was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. The cancer had spread from the primary source to the lymph nodes in her neck. In 1998 the doctor gave her two years to live. She went home and wrote good bye letters to her boys. She didn’t try to figure God out. Allyson put her faith to work. She talked to God, not questioning Him, but asking Him for help. He intervened and with the continual help of new medications, Allyson continues to enjoy each day. She has had no chemo since 1998. Currently she is on a once a month hormone treatment which was expected to last only six months. That was four years ago.

The big thing according to Allyson is early detection. She believes it is the key to everything. She comments, “Everyone should be ‘so in touch’ with his/her own body. We should watch, treat, and not overlook our body. I found John’s melanoma. I made a difference there.”

Allyson and Margaret both believe in the active support of cancer and its prevention. Margaret stated, “Cancer affects us all.” Allyson’s comment was “That’s simple, awareness. Cancer is not age specific. Young people need to be aware and actively involved. I was 28. Nearly every family today is affected in some way by cancer.”

It’s great to be a survivor and with the help of funds raised by Gibson – North Relay for Life, Margaret and Allyson are survivors. “I am a survivor,” Margaret stated. “I have had some of the best days of my life since I had cancer. You really appreciate every day.” Allyson praised her Mom’s statement by saying “I am a survivor. I am living with cancer, and

Mother, daughter survive cancer 16 years each

Caregivers Walk and finally the Team Walk. Seven teams participated. In addition to those teams already mentioned were Bradford High School FCCLA, Rutherford School, Kenton School and Dorris Chapel Church of Christ teams. Each team had a theme carried out in tents set up around the field and

offered different food items for sale such as fish plates, cabbage and cornbread, baked potatoes and all kinds of sweet treats.

Entertainment began with the Blues Brothers followed by the Empty Pockets Band.

The Luminaria Ceremony began at 10 p.m. Over 600 luminaries were lite in memory of or in honor of loved ones.

I have joy, hope, and a very fulfilled life.”

Allyson and John’s sons are now 19 and 16. She has torn up their good bye letters she wrote sixteen years ago. She misses her days as an oncology nurse she was forced to give up after working for ten years. Her illness would not let her continue. Margaret enjoys her retirement days from Brown Shoe after working there for 35 years. Her son Russell keeps her smiling; her husband Bobby died a year ago.

So, looking at this success story, the Bells know the power of God, and they are thankful for the work done by the American Cancer

Society. Thankfully, they are able to continue living by Allyson’s favorite Bible verse found in Romans 15:13. “May the God of hope fill you and me with all joy and peace as we choose to trust in Him, so that we may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” By the way Allyson inserted “choose” in this verse because it is a choice we make each day and with whatever we are faced with to trust God. Certainly the “Bell choices” have been the right ones for He has guided them, doctors, scientists, care givers, and technology to continue with cancer research giving us all more days to celebrate birthdays.

Woodmen of the World, the Abbotts from Rutherford and Yorkville School team also raised money but did not set up.
