Joe Shepard formally announces that he will seek the office of state representative for the 79th legislative district. He declared that this race is the single most important race for state representative in decades, the outcome of which will have dramatic effects for years to come.

Shepard is a 21-year veteran with the United States Navy, which included three tours of duty with the River Forces in Vietnam. After the conflict ended, he was awarded numerous combat medals and ribbons.

In 1986, he personally knocked on thousands of doors and was elected sheriff of Gibson County, and then remained sheriff for 20 years. He has been recognized throughout the country for his drug enforcement policies, making over 1,000 drug busts, including one of the largest marijuana busts in Tennessee history. He is known throughout Tennessee as an expert in drug law enforcement and has lectured at various

Tennessee flood survivors have received nearly $150 million in approved Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) disaster grants, bringing the total federal assistance to more than $275 million, said officials from the state and federal Emergency Management Agency July 16.

Nearly $150 million was approved for the Individuals and Households Program (IHP). This amount includes $129 million in home repair and rental assistance and more than $20 million for Other Needs Assistance (ONA), which covers assistance with essential and other

disaster-related needs.The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA)

approved more than $127 million in low-interest loans for home owners, renters and businesses.

More than $275,000 has been approved through Disaster Unemployment Assistance that is available through the state to help workers whose primary income was lost or interrupted as a direct result of the disaster. The program may cover those who don’t normally qualify for unemployment insurance benefits, such

Kenton resident Daniel Sharp will be featured on Tennessee Crossroads this week. The segment will showcase Daniel’s Wooden Wonders, a collection of handmade wooden wagons, cars, trains, planes, truck, tractors, etc. He made his first piece back in 1985. It was a 1916 Chevrolet, which he gave to Dr. Jack Gray who was born that year. His collections of replicas are handcrafted primarily from walnut, cherry and oak. Sharp’s hobby has grown over the years to more than 350 pieces. He doesn’t sell the items he crafts but does take them to different places for show. They have been on display at Spring Heritage Days and Davy Crockett Days.

A crew of three came from Nashville about two months ago to film the feature. Daniel’s wife, Faye, said they spent about five hours filming and interviewing Daniel. Even though it took a long time to tape and interview, the actual segment will be much shorter. Other interests from West Tennessee will also be featured on the show.Although he enjoyed his dad’s tools and the joy of living on a farm, his interest to work with them was instigated by his agriculture teacher Joe Mack Warren.

“It has taken lots of patience and very hard work to get his talent developed to the point that it has become. He has a love of wood and is fascinated with the different grain in each one. You’ve got to love it to spend as much as eight hours a day planeing, sawing, sanding, and finishing the replicas,” said Faye.

The local PBS stations airing the segment are WKNO Memphis and WLJT Martin/Jackson. The segment will air at the following dates and times:

•WKNO - Memphis, Thursday July 29 at 7 p.m. •WKNO2 - Memphis, Saturday July 31 at 9 a.m. •WLJT - Martin/Jackson, Thursday July 29 at 8 p.m.

and Saturday July 31 at 11 a.m. and 11:30 p.m.

The Gibson County Health Departments will be offering special clinics to provide free immunizations to seventh graders during the month of August. All children entering the seventh grade this fall must submit proof of a booster dose of the tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap) vaccine; and confirm either chickenpox immunity through the disease or receipt of two doses of the varicella vaccine.

For the first time in a decade, Tennessee has adopted new childhood immunization requirements to better protect children from serious diseases, especially those that can spread easily in a school

BY GC SHERIFF CHUCK ARNOLD

We are experiencing an increase of outdoor equipment thefts across Gibson County. Numerous complaints have been made concerning weed eaters, lawnmowers, chainsaws and other equipment being taken from storage buildings and carports.

I urge property owners to take every measure to secure outdoor equipment and when possible, record any personal markings, identifiers or serial numbers to help with identification in the event of theft. Outdoor equipment makes easy targets for criminals. Taking a moment to record serial numbers, not on just on outdoor equipment, but on all recordable property is a

Tom “Spoon” Witherspoon“A full time Mayor addressing full time issues”

www.electtomwitherspoon.comPaid for by friends to elect Tom Witherspoon-Greg Pillow, treasurer.

One of my goals as Gibson County Mayor would be to unify our county. For far too long we have seen ourselves as one end of the county or the other, one town against the other. That’s fine on Friday nights in the fall of the year, but for the other 355 days we need to pull together, 48,000 strong, truly unified in an all out effort to get what we need. I’ve worked and lived all over Gibson County and have learned that all of our wants, all of our needs, all of our concerns are pretty much the same no matter where or how you live.

“I’ve been from one end of the county to the other and found people are very receptive and accessible to talk about their goals and their needs. The public has been very hospitable and I look forward to continuing to get to know each and every one,” Mitchell said.

“Have you heard the old saying, ‘There is no business like show business.’ Well I feel like there is ‘no business like the newspaper business.’ A local newspaper provides the best avenue for local advertising and keeping the

NEW HOPE STREET FIRES - Dyer Fire Department has ben called to two separaate fires on New Hope Street during in the month of July. Although the two dwellings are located across the street from each other, Fire Chief Bob Moore said there was nothing suspecious in either fire. Dyer Police officer David Paschall found a house on fire at 193 New Hope Street (above) at about 5 p.m. Wednesday afternoon July 21st. When the fire dept. arrived on the scene there was fire coming out of the roof, garage, kitchen and living room of the house. Dyer Fire was on the scene for about three hours and the house sustained considerable damage from the fire. The house belonged to the Brandon Karnes family. Dyer Fire, Police, and Medic #4 were sent to a duplex on fire (photo below) at around 7.30 a.m. on Monday, July 12th with a lady still inside. Dyer Police Lieutenant Knott Bailey was first on the scene and found fire and smoke coming from the bedroom and attic of apartment #194 New Hope Street. The occupant of apartment #196 was stil inside her apratment. Lt. Bailey was

able to get in and wake the resident up and get her out of her apartment as the firefighters arrived on scene. She was not hurt thanks to Lt. Bailey’s quick actions. No one was at home in the apartment where the fire started. The firemen were able to keep the fire damage to apartment #194 where it started. (photos by Lori Cathey)

colleges, high schools, and civic groups throughout the state. He was awarded the Outstanding Achievement Award by the Tennessee Sheriff’s Association in 1985, 1987, 1988, and 1990. He was elected vice president of the Tennessee Sheriff’s Association in 1988, and in 1990 was elected president of that organization.

He is also known for his positive achievements in initiating the DARE program, the Gibson County Reserve Deputy Program and Litter Control program, saving taxpayers over a million dollars in property taxes. Shepard has been awarded the United States Secret Service Certificate of Appreciation, Tennessee Sheriff of the Year, Tennessee Law Enforcement Officer of the Year, Gibson County Person of the Year, and many others.

He is a member of the VFW Post 4728, Humboldt Masonic Lodge 202, Fleet Reserve Association, Tennessee Sheriff’s Association, National Sheriff’s Association, the Humboldt Rotary, and is a member of the First Baptist Church in Humboldt.

Shepard, with his experience in local government, knows the problems, issues, and questions concerning local governments, and can work with local and state officials to solve these problems. He knows first-hand the problems that arise when the state seeks to balance their budget on the backs of local governments, which is why he is adamantly opposed to unfunded mandates

handed down from the state government.

During his time as county mayor, he has worked to restore and refurbish the Gibson County courthouse to be rated one of the most beautiful in the southeastern United States. He has also worked to renovate the Gibson County Animal Shelter to a more humane and hospitable place for animals to be housed before adoption. He has also helped secure over five million dollars in grants for various county-affiliated entities.

Shepard’s number one priority is keeping jobs here, and bringing in more jobs and industry to the area. Governor Bredesen has laid the groundwork for job creation here in West Tennessee by securing and preserving funding for the West Tennessee Megasite. He will seek to build on the successes that the governor has achieved, by doing what is needed to bring industry into one of the most attractive commercial properties in the southeastern United States.

He also said with regard to the Milan Arsenal, “We have to set politics aside and work together for the benefit of the people in Gibson and Carroll counties; we have to work together to keep the Milan Arsenal jobs here and to keep nuclear waste out. We cannot expect new industry to come here if we have a nuclear dump right in our own backyards, which is why one of my top priorities will be working to ban the storage of nuclear waste in our area.” He

will also work to expand new areas in agriculture that will create new, sustainable, and innovative jobs in Tennessee that cannot be shipped overseas.

Shepard will also work to preserve and strengthen the state’s rising pre-k education program that is a model nationwide. “Preserving and supporting this program is paramount to the success of our children. By starting children out earlier it helps them excel in grade school and better prepares them to graduate high school. Then, to ensure our graduates have the skills they need, we must continue the work of the governor to make our community and technical colleges more accessible and tech-centered, this will prepare them for a new economy that demands technical skills and computer literacy.”

Shepard also pledges that under no circumstance will he allow Gibson County to be broken up into two separate legislative districts when it comes time to redraw district lines. He said, “If anyone tries to tear Gibson County down the middle, they will have to go through me first.“ To learn more about his campaign, visit his website at www.joeforstaterep.com, or join in the discussion on his Facebook page, and coming very soon, his YouTube channel “joeforstaterep79.” Shepard humbly asks for your support, your vote, and your influence. Early voting begins on October 13 and ends on October 28, and election day is November 2.

community informed about local business as well as local news, obituaries and sports.”

She and husband, Vyron, have six children, 15 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren with one child being involved in the newspaper business in Florida.

Mitchell was also involved with ad make-up for many years winning several awards while in Kentucky including the Advertising General Excellence Award for the newspaper plus other lst, 2nd and 3rd place awards over the years for personal ad design and make-up.

Unfortunately, we still see Tennessee children suffer and die unnecessarily when they are not properly immunized,” said Health Commissioner Susan R. Cooper, MSN, RN. “These new requirements assure that children have the best protection from serious illnesses that are easily passed from person to person in schools”.

“The required vaccines are already recommended for all children by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Academy of Pediatrics, so most young children have already received them,” said Kelly Moore, MD, medical director of the state immunization program. “Parents should talk with their child’s health care provider to be sure they have had everything they need.

A vehicle believed to be involved in the crimes is described as a Chevrolet Impala, white or light silver, with tinted windows and a possible sunroof.

We are asking citizens to be aware of anything unusual

in their community. Often times it’s the alert citizen that gives law enforcement our best leads. The assistance of citizens can go a long way in solving crimes. At the time one may think their piece of information is irrelevant, but when used with others, it could bring the case together. I would urge citizens and business owners to continue to be vigilant and report anything suspicious to their local law enforcement agency.

Department of Education. If a child has already received the required vaccines for seventh grade, a new Immunization Certificate must be provided to the child’s school.

“With all the activity that surrounds the starting of a new school year, the Gibson County Health Departments would like to help parents get the required immunizations and certificate. That is why we will be open late each Thursday evening during the month of August to provide the Tdap and

varicella vaccine free of charge for those children entering seventh grade”, said Danna Taylor, Director of the Gibson County Health Departments. It is also recommended that parents bring a current shot record for their child to the Health Department.

The clinics will be offered on August 5th, August 12th, August 19th, and August 26th from 3:30 – 6:00 pm. Please call you local Gibson County Health Department at the numbers listed above to make an appointment.

Federal recover effort topsas the self-employed and farmers.

“The disaster partnerships that formed during the response in early May continue to be a success as we move forward with recovery,” said James H. Bassham, State Coordinating

Officer for the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA).

Since the May 4 major disaster declaration, more than 65,000 people have registered with FEMA across 46 counties designated for Individual Assistance.

“It’s important to keep in mind that the deadline for applying for help is right around the corner,” added Gracia B. Szczech, FEMA’s Federal Coordinating Officer. “Anyone who sustained damage and hasn’t applied for help needs to do that before the Aug. 5 deadline.”

Those affected by the storms and flooding can register or get answers to questions by calling

800-621-FEMA (3362) or (TTY) 800-462-7585. They also can register online anytime at http://www.DisasterAssistance.gov/.

To date, approximately 20,687 visits were made to 66 Disaster Recovery Centers (DRCs) established by TEMA and FEMA to provide one-on-one help and speed recovery.

Inspections were completed in 55,452 homes with reported flood or storm damage.

So I’m leaving the court house in Alamo the other day, headed home, and I glance to my right as I drive out of the court house square. And there through the trees, I see something wonderful — the new steeple atop the bell tower at the First United Methodist Church. What a marvelous thing the Methodists have done, and not just for themselves, but for the community at large as well.

The church building, long a graceful feature of the Alamo community, just got even lovelier with the addition of a beautiful, copper covered, cross topped steeple, and there is now another dramatic, visible reminder that Alamo is a community of Christian people.

I heard a minister refer to a church steeple as a “life mark” rather than a “landmark,” and that’s a good metaphor. But whatever spiritual significance church steeples may serve to the people who worship beneath them, they also serve as landmarks for the larger community beyond

the congregation.Historically, churches were

among the first buildings erected in America when towns were formed, usually near the town’s center, and as travelers approached, the steeples would tell them not only where the center of town was but also that they were approaching a community of faith.

There are, of course, all sorts of church towers and steeples, and they all descend from towers built as adjuncts to early churches. Beginning in the 600’s, early Christians began to build bell towers to announce worship times to the community, and also to advertise the location of the church. Since many churches were built of stone, the towers also served as refuges in times of attack, and they afforded townspeople early warning that attacks were coming, and from which direction.

As time went on, these towers became less and less defense oriented and more and more inspirational. Because they were evolving

in hundreds of places at once, all sorts of different obelisks, spires, cupolas, spires and steeples came into being. So why are nearly all steeples on American churches similar?

Well, the steeple as we know it in America came into being as a result of the Great London Fire of 1666, a four-day conflagration that left 13,000 homes and 87 out of the city’s 106 churches, including St. Paul’s Cathedral, burned to the ground. Afterward, King Charles II commissioned Sir Christopher Wren to oversee the redesign and rebuilding of the city’s churches, and over the next several years Wren directed the building of more than 50 churches. A trademark of most of them was a towering steeple of elaborate construction. When the first of his tall steepled chruches was completed, St. Mary-le-Bow, in 1680, its 223 foot steeple took London by storm and the idea was copied over and over. As more and more churches copied Wren’s steeple it became the architectural standard for Christian churches throughout the world.

As colonists came to America, naturally they brought new British architectural ideas with them, and after a brief period of Puritan austerity they began to build their own flamboyantly steepled churches. One such church was Christ Church, in Boston. Built in 1723, it was

a center of Tory loyalism. The King of England himself had donated communion silver and a Bible to the church, and they said a prayer every week for him.

But on the night of April 18, 1775, the church’s steeple, the tallest in the city, at 191 feet, would become the most famous in American history when it would be used to transmit a message to American patriots at the very beginning of the Revolutionary War. It was on that night that the church sexton and another patriot, on orders of Paul Revere, climbed the 154 steps to the top of the steeple and briefly lighted two lanterns in the belfry as a signal to other patriots across the Charles

River that British troops were crossing the river on their way to Concord to destroy the city’s arms supply.

Paul Revere himself was spreading the word on horseback, but he knew he might be captured and detained so he set up the lantern warning as a backup. Knowing the Redcoats’ route gave the patriots time to prepare accordingly, and a good thing it was, because the very next day the American Revolutionary War began.

By the time Henry Wadsworth Longfellow immortalized the church, in his poem, “The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere,” (1861) it was known as the Old North Church. A sign on one of the collection boxes in the church

today says, “If it weren’t for Old North Church, you might be making your donations in pound notes.” Indeed.

The new steeple that now graces the First United Methodist Church in Alamo will almost certainly never be as famous as that of the Old North Church in Boston; it’ll probably never be famous at all, but what it will do is add grace and loveliness to the Alamo skyline for as long as it stands, pointing the way to heaven and proclaiming today, and for future generations as well, silently but eloquently, the faith and fidelity of this generation of the Alamo people who call themselves Methodists.

Excelsior.

ELECT NEIL MATTHEWSCOUNTY COMMISSIONER

DISTRICT 16 - POSITION 2I would appreciate your

vote and support on August 5th and we will

get Gibson County on the right track to what the

people want and expect.Neil Matthews

Political ad paid for by Neil Matthews

Dear Editor,The Gibson County tax

issue is not so much a tax issue as it is a management issue. The Gibson County government has consistently failed its audits year after year. The audits generally show that there is a serious lack of management controls.

An individual running for the office of county mayor insisting that more tax revenues are needed

apparently doesn’t have any intentions of improving management. Reducing the cost of county government, while protecting our vital services requires management, a strange concept to some people. It doesn’t seem reasonable to me to vote for higher tax rates in any form without first holding county government accountable.

It appears inevitable that

we will lose the 700 arsenal jobs. This is projected to cost the county government approximately $800,000 in lost revenue. Will we increase the taxes on these laid-off people to protect the county budget, continue to fail our audits, and still not hold county government accountable for where our tax money goes?

David Nance Trenton Tennessee

CHILDRESSCOUNTY COMMISSIONER

ELECT

I am a life long resident of Gibson County and if elected County Commissioner I will take a strong stand on public safety issues and give our emergency services the support they need to make Gibson County a safer place to live and raise a family for ALL citizens.

I have served Gibson County the last 14 years as a Deputy Sheriff and the City of Dyer the last 6 years as an Alderman. Both positions have demanded that I use problem solving skills and make hard decisions on a daily basis. I believe this experience will better prepare me to serve on the County Commission.

I want to bring financial responsibility back to the Gibson County Commission by helping break the current tax and spend mind set.

I am currently Chairman of the Dyer Fire Department Committee and was instrumental in the City of Dyer obtaining a new fire station with NO additional burden to the taxpayers. I believe that more open communication between the County Commission and the citizens it serves is needed and will support changing the time of the monthly meetings to better accommodate the citizens of Gibson County.

Dear Citizens of District 19,“Like most of you I live paycheck to paycheck so I have not been able to take off work to campaign full time. If I have been unable to personally ask for you for your vote, let me do so at this time. With your vote and support it will be an honor to represent you on the County Commission. I humbly ask you for your vote to elect me County Commissioner of District 19.

Respectfully,Cody Childress

What To Do About TMJThe temporomandibular joint (TMJ) joins the lower

jawbone to the temporal bone of the skull. Muscles that allow the opening and closing of the mouth help this joint to function appropriately. TMJ disorders are experienced by between 5 and 15 percent of people in the United States. Women are more likely to be affected than men. The condition may cause pain or tenderness of the jaw, pain near the ear, discomfort while chewing, and headaches. The joint may also lock, causing difficulty in opening or closing the mouth. TMJ disorders may be caused by a variety of habits in response to stress, such as jaw clenching, teeth grinding, and slouching or pushing the head forward while working at a computer. Severe trauma of the jaw osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis have also been linked to TMJ.

Breaking habits related to stress that exacerbate TMJ and avoiding overusing the jaw muscles may help to alleviate associated symptoms. Applying warm, moist heat or ice to the side of the face often helps the muscles to relax, may also alleviate pain. Anti-inflammatory medications, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, maybe recommended to decrease inflammation and pain. For more severe pain, steroids may be injected into the joint space. Surgical procedures are available if other treatments do not provide relief.

Hillary Dalton Atkins and Jacob Lee Eddlemon, both of Kenton, will be married Saturday, August 7, 2010 at 5:00 p.m., music at 4:30 p.m., at the Kenton Church of Christ, 301 W Church Street in Kenton, TN. The reception will immediately follow in the fellowship hall of the church.

Hillary is the daughter of Loretta Atkins of Kenton and the granddaughter of Jerry and Rosa Rollins of Rutherford.

Jake is the son of Joe and Deborah Eddlemon of Kenton. He is the grandson of John Reel and Shirley Warren, the late David Warren, the late Capps Eddlemon, and the late Joe and Onez Eddlemon Bell, all of Kenton.

Hillary is a 2008 graduate of Gibson County High School. She attended the

University of Tennessee at Martin, and will continue her education at Mississippi State University in Starkville, MS. She is currently employed as a cake decorator at Walmart in Dyersburg.

Jake is a 2006 graduate of Gibson County High School. In 2010, he graduated Cum Laude from the University of Tennessee at Martin with a Bachelor of Science degree in History. He will continue his education and pursue his Masters Degree at Mississippi State University in Starkville, where he will also be employed as a teaching assistant in the History Department. He is currently employed as a night manager at Food Rite in Kenton.

All friends and relatives are invited to attend the wedding and reception.

As we begin our revival time it was good to have most of us back under the same roof.

Congratulations go to Robert Joyce who received $1,000 scholarship from the National High School Finals Rodeo in Gillette, Wyoming.

Happy Birthday wishes were sung to Bro. Don Cooper, William Sims, Jimmy Winters, and Randy Baird.

Lavera Winters children’s sermon prepared us for revival as she asked the children the meaning of revival.

She read from Psalms 51:10 asking God to give us a clean heart with clean thoughts and desires. Psalms 85:6 about reviving us so we can rejoice again and Isaiah 58:13 about keeping the Sabbath holy.

She said we have to have our mind set to receive and a sincere desire upon our hearts to invite Jesus into our hearts.

Bro. Don’s text was from Ezra 9 about a prophet who brought law back to the people. His sermon title was “What Hinders Revival.” Revival is about being brought back to life.

Brought back closer to God. We have to be in contact with God. If you are a discouraged worker find out why.

Sometimes we are not where God wants us to be. Abraham went to Egypt but God did not tell him to go there.

Are you discouraged, backsliding, miserable, or disobedient? You need to bring joy back. After David was disobedient he asked God to return unto him the joy of his salvation.

Don’t become a silent witness. Lot chose to live in Sodom. You can’t be in revival until you are able to speak up to what God is doing in your life. Until those things take place you will be a miserable disciple.

Peter denied Jesus 4 times. In John 3: 1-8 Jesus said unless you are born again you can never get into the kingdom of God. Romans 10: 8-14 tells us how to be saved.

You will not have revival until you ask God to help you get out of a situation that is hindering your joy.

You are always welcome to our worship services at North Union.

Stephen and Selena Wofford of Trenton are proud to announce the birth of their son Jeorge Phillip Wofford.

J.P. was born on June 28, 2010 at 7:43 a.m. at Regional Hospital in Jackson. He weighed seven pounds four ounces and was 19 1/2 inches long. He was

welcomed by big sisters, Macie and Kyla.

Material grandparents are George and Felicia Selph of Rutherford. Maternal great grandparents are Nadean East of Rutherford and Lucille Selph of Dyer. Paternal grandparents are Phil and Dianne Wofford of Brazil.

Jeorge Phillip Wofford

Welcome baby J.P.

The sanctuary has been turned into the “Saddle Ridge Ranch” even with the mountains. Makes you feel like you are out west.

All of this is getting ready for VBS which is going on this week.

The choir special was “You are Holy.”

Brother Jason’s message “Sucking a Sign”? Mark 8:11-13.

There was no evening service, instead the vacation Bible school kicked-off with a lot of games and eats.

The Sunday evening service August 8 will be held at the Calavary Rescue Mission in Memphis. We will serve food and attend chapel.

The Women on Mission yard sale will be August 14. The men’s mission will also be selling barbeque chicken for $5. If you would like to

order call the church office. It is good to report Jeff

Johnson is home from the hospital and doing much better.

Jeff Eddlemon had a motorcycle wreck Friday night. He had facial injuries and had to be air lifted to Memphis.

Those having birthdays this week: Tim Featherston, Noelle Turner, Adolph Beard, Don Cooper and Nancy Gilmore.

If you do not have church home, come visit with us, we would love to worship with you.

Until next week, God bless.

Happy Birthday wishes to Adolph Beard, a former Mayor of Rutherford,who is celebrating his 85th birthday on July 28th! We wish him many more!

Clora’s Chapel By Robin McNell

Sunday was a great day at Cloras Chapel CPCA. The male chorus sang songs of Zion and the Holy Spirit made its way in the house of faith.

Brother Jonathan Nevels let us know in song that “Trouble gets in our way” and Elder Keith Harris in song said “God will make a way.”

Then Rev. Myles brought the word from God. His message was “Going in the Right Direction” taken from St. John 14:5-6. His message inspired us all.

Brother Fred Ivie and Sister Lucy Kimble came up for prayer and were blessed. We were glad to have Sister Reina Farris back after minor surgery.

Sister Myra Austin’s daughter Tamika were in service. She lives in Nashville and is doing fine. We had a wonderful worship service.

On Saturday there were two funerals held of friends and relatives. At Badgett Chapel CPCA in Rutherford, Brother Hershel Simpson, First Lady.

Diane Myles last uncle and in Henry a long time Sister in Christ, Mrs. Betty Hill were eulogized. We will continue to pray for the families.

On Saturday night at

Trenton Middle School, the AKA’s had a first lady fashion show. Our first lady modeled in the Sunday best scene. She reported having a good time. Fairview Baptist Church in Dyer, Sister Craig, modeled also in the business/professional scene and Fairview came in third place with most attending.

Cloras Chapel will be having their annual Women’s Conference August 7th - 8th. We invite all ladies in the community to attend and discuss issues that women go through today.

This is sponsored by Evangelist Melinda Davis. We are looking forward to Evangelist Gail Perry from Humboldt Lighthouse of Worship to be our special guest.

Come one Come all ladies, we need each other. Time is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The youth of Cloras Chapel is working on a Gospel Block Party for the community. You will hear more about this as preparations are on the way.

We are looking forward to Homecoming Day on Fourth Sunday in August.

Please stay in touch with God, cause prayer is the key and faith unlocks the door. Then watch God change things.

It was a wonderful day in God’s house this past Sunday. We were geared up and looking forward to our week of V.B.S.

Props were up and teachers were getting everything ready for the upcoming week. Mrs. Natalie Farrar and Mrs. Melissa Reeves do an awesome job putting V.B.S. together.

Our Sunday morning service began with Johnny Cavender leading us in a praise and worship song. Followed by a special by Mrs. Jan Cardwell.

Then one of our youth Dale Murray played the guitar and sang. We ended our song service with one more special by Bro. Johnny. The Spirit had already began to move. The title of the Bro. Darryl’s sermon was “Let Us Rejoice.” Sometimes you may feel as though you have nothing to rejoice about when you get so bogged down with the storms of life, but our God is always there and that definitely is something to rejoice about. You do not have to face things alone. He is there just waiting on you to ask for His help.

He loves His children so much He feels your pain and wants to give you comfort. He sent His only Son to die on the cross for you. Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice!

We had a total music service Sunday evening. It was so amazing. Specials from Johnny Cavender

who led the service. Also Mrs. Natalie Farrar, Mrs. Jan Cardwell, Mr. Tim Fout. Miss Kaitlyn Kyle played a special on the piano. How awesome our God is to have blessed our church with so much talent. Please don’t forget August 1st is our special Note Burning Service.

After morning service we will have dinner at the church then a special service to celebrate the pay off of the church.

Bro. Reggie Lafaye will kick off the event at 1 p.m.. Several people will be recognized that have been involved in Laneview’s journey.

Bro. Don Cooper will speak followed by the actual burning of the note. We would like to invite everyone to join us in praising God for what He has done and is still doing at Laneview! V.B.S. is this week July 26th-29th. The Beth Moore Conference is August 13th-14th in Lexington Ky. God is leading Laneview in new directions. Come join us and be a part of His movement!

We had 70 present for worship services. Kerra Lee Flowers opened with scripture. Letitia led the children’s sermon with scripture from John 3:16, she stated “Don’t compare yourself with others, compare yourself with Jesus.”

Special music was sung by Kerra Flowers and Macy Anglin with “Words of Life.” Brother Corey message was from Galations 6:11-18, titled “What a difference grace makes.”

We had 60 present for our closing VBS ceremonies. It was a great ending to a fun week with about 40 children

present each night. Thanks to all the ones that came out to help. Thanks to Bobby and Kelly Cryer for directing us and for their uplifting spirit. We all enjoyed fellowship after the evening services.

We will be having watermelons after Wednesday evening services.

Our Revival begins August 8th with Brother Blake Carroll leading the services.

Our youth will be going to the Kentucky Lake August 6th and 7th.

Lowrance Chapel By Jerry Bell

I was just thinking of our last winter season and how cold it was. Now that we are into our hottest days of summer it seems, with temperatures of 100 or above, that we will just “melt”. I can not imagine what the end of time will be like when the elements “will melt” with fervent heat and everything upon this earth, even the earth itself, will be “burned up”. Let us all prepare for that day now!

Today, we will consider the problem of guilt in Christians. Many New Testament Christians live with the burden of feeling guilty almost every day of their lives. Is that what God intended for his people? Is that what we are supposed to feel? Is freedom from guilt possible?

I encourage you to read Leviticus 16 which records the details of the Jewish Day of Atonement. The writer of Hebrews points to the “irony” in the Jewish Day of Atonement. It was given to resolve the problem of sin for a year.

However, it became a memorial to Israel’s

sinfulness. It became a memorial to sinfulness, not to cleansing! That is the exact opposite of cleansing in Jesus – communion is a memorial to cleansing, not sinfulness!

There were two weaknesses in the ancient Jewish Day of Atonement. (1) It could not destroy the feeling of guilt, the consciousness of sin. (2) Animal sacrifices could not eternally remove people’s sins. The basic weakness in the ancient Jewish system of atonement was revealed in the problem of guilt. There was no sense of permanent cleansing or forgiveness.

In Hebrews 9:9 the writer expressed the fact that those animal gifts and sacrifices could not, as touching conscience, make the worshipper perfect and in 10:2 those sacrifices could not give the worshipper a sense of cleansing that destroyed the consciousness of sin. In our text of Hebrews 10:1-18 it was that weakness that Jesus’ blood and sacrifice addressed.

The Christian is sanctified once for all time. (V.10) Jesus offered the once forever

sacrifice for sin. (V. 12) Jesus’ offering perfected forever those who are sanctified. (V.14) Once sin was forgiven in Jesus, there is no need for another sacrifice. (V.18) What is the point of all this emphasis? The cleansed Christian has no need to feel guilty! The point of Jesus’ perfect blood is this: sin is a solved problem! When the sin is destroyed, the guilt arising from the sin is also destroyed!

A Christian should feel guilt when he/she is unrepentant toward God of sins and when he/she has not obeyed the commandments of our Lord to be saved from sin. Without question, the most beautiful, powerful blessing for Jesus Christ’s forgiveness is this: the past is dead; it does not matter to God; it is to be released as if it never existed. Every day is a new day. Every day is a new life.

All that matters in Jesus’ forgiveness is today. Is it not time you became a Christian and stopped feeling guilty because you have been forgiven? Jesus gave His life for our sins.

Dyer Church of Christ By Sabrina Sullivan

Morning worship services had an attendance 138 and 99 in Sunday school.

Perfect attendance for Sunday school was two and three year olds with Bobby Sullivan, 4 and 5 year olds with Donna Abbott, 1st and 2nd grade with Betty Bell, 3 through 5th grade with Mynonne Tate and the Adults class.

The message for the morning service came from the book of John 4:1-10. The Samaritan woman meets Jesus. Do we know about the moment we will stand before the Lord?

If we knew would it change our lives? By grace are we saved, it is that mercy and kindness that we are given. In that moment will God tell

us well done? What will you let God give you, the terror or the gift?

The message for the evening service came from Mark 3. After Jesus prays all night he chooses the twelve apostles. Put God in your everyday choices and ask for his guidance. Jesus made the twelve apostles powerful. Although these men came from different backgrounds and had weaknesses he chose them. Jesus chooses for use to be saved but what do we chose?

Praise God! Jeff and Alyssa Rasberry accepted the Lord into their lives and were baptized Monday night.

Remember in Prayer: Damon Campbell is in Union City Hospital.

Our Sunday night worship hour began with Mike Fields leading us in the hymns “Just a Closer Walk with Thee” and “Are you Washed in the Blood?” Our special music, “Higher Ground,” was sung by Tonya Fields, Lindsey Allmon and Brett McDonald.

Cindy Lamar entertained guests recently in her home as her Aunt Doris Weatherly of Hickman, Kentucky and cousin Rosemary Cox of Selmer spent the morning and early afternoon together sharing old memories as well as catching up on the family news. They enjoyed lunch together prepared by their hostess consisting of BBQ pork chops, warm bacon potato salad, fresh green beans, purple hull peas, and fried deviled eggs. Before parting ways the ladies all

posed for pictures for their family photo albums.

Food for Thought: I saw a friend in pain today, to me she seemed quite brave. Facing an array of unknowns, I don’t know if I’d be the same. Yet there she was the epitome of faith before my eyes. Less than half my age is my friend, but in her faith she is quite wise. My heart does hurt to see her pain, I long to help somehow. So I will do as she shows the world, I’ll trust our Lord in prayer, that’s how.

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

“Solving Bankruptcy Problems For Over 20 Years”

Bethpage By Joyce Brown

We really had good services at Bethpage Sunday. It was good to have Bro. James and Natalie back following a tough week for their family. Bro. James’ aunt Geneva Stephens passed away.

Many from Bethpage visited at the funeral home and attended the funeral service held on Saturday.

Sympathy is extended to that family. Tina and Janice opened Sunday service with “Follow Me.”

Call to worship was “The Family of God” and the welcome hymn was “I will Sing the Wondrous story.”

We had a large group to welcome with many visitors in attendance. Special music was “Remember Me” by Larry Simmons and “Thank You” by Logan Cochran.

Zach Cochran who is interning with Fellowship of Christian Athletes brought the message. His text was from Luke 3:15-16 focused primarily on “Are We On Fire For Christ” using the characteristics of John the Baptist. He did such a great job. We are so proud of Zach for his commitment of his life to ministry for our Lord Jesus Christ.

We were missing some of our young men as they played in the state men’s softball tournament in Nashville. They didn’t win but enjoyed playing some good teams. Our church league softball tournament has ended.

I hear that our sister church Walnut Grove won the tournament.

Congratulations go to them. Some of our team is still stretching out sore muscles after playing four games last week. Good job guys and girls, coaches too.

The entire Littleton family enjoyed a recent outing to Shiloh enjoying the scenery and a picnic.

The Cochrans’ entertained Bro. John Powell and family following church with a dinner that the rest of the family enjoyed as well. Bro. Powell is Zach’s supervisor with FCA.

Bro. James was back in the pulpit Sunday night. He brought his two young cousins Candy and Courtney Churchwell. They blessed us with a special song “Temporary Home.” They are talented young ladies.

Bro. James preached from Luke 7:17-27 on the subject of “A Sight for Seeking Eyes.”

We are looking forward to our Summer Revival beginning next Sunday. We would like to invite all in the area to attend. It starts Sunday night Aug 1.

We added several to our prayer list and heard some praise reports of answered prayer. Two that we have been praying for suffering from cancer are now cancer free. Praise the Lord.

This is a reminder to Bethpage folks: remember to bring items for the food pantry. It is being used and needs replenishing.

Prayer of the week: May the Lord open up the windows of Heaven and pour you a blessing that you will not have room enough to receive it all. Amen

The Grapevine By Sarah Skinner

The Youth Department was at their best Sunday morning as they lead the devotion and provided the music in St. Paul’s morning service. Sarah Alford led “Sold Out” and LaShonda Dennis led “Almost Let Go.”

Minister Timothy White delivered the message, his subject “We Let Sin Come In” was found in Romans 5:12 and other scriptures. Rev. Willie Pounds, Rev. Michelle Skinner, Rev. Michael McGhee of Clarksville and Minister Jasmine Williams were present.

John and Rosie Mitchell prepared dinner in their home for Rev. and Mrs. Pounds. Rev. Michael McGhee treated the Skinners, Lil Sarah, Rodney and Michelle to dinner at Catfish Galley in Union

City in celebration of the good report James received from the doctor on Friday. We thank God for his goodness and mercy. God is an awesome God.

Vicky Wynn, Kim Simpson, Vivian Moore and Sophrina Moore spent last week vacationing in Florida. They reported having a fantastic time.

Ann Brooks is a patient at Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville, Preston White is a patient at Jackson General Hospital in Jackson. Please remember them in your prayers.

Revival will be held at St. Paul July 28-30, Wednesday- Friday beginning at 7 p.m nightly. Rev. Roy Scruggs of Gallion, AL will be our speaker for the three nights. Everyone is invited.

God bless and have a good week.

BY ANNE KEMP Sometime I imagine that

the few people who came to worship on Sunday morning at the little one room school house named Unity Grove on Sycamore corner, south of Trenton, wanted a little church building all their own. As time went by this came to pass and in 1906 the little white church on the hill was finished and the group no longer used the name Unity Grove but called themselves Laneview in honor of Mr. Harry Lane who donated the property.

How excited they must have been to have this wonderful place to worship and so big, too, they thought at the time. Many people came and went through the years and many changes were made. Sometimes the attendance was good and

sometimes it wasn’t. People moved away, pastors came and went but still we kept the funeral home fans going in summer and the old store warm in the winter and we just kept on going. In 1950 our young pastor walked down the steps of Laneview and said, “this church is dead as it will ever be, you may as well lock these doors. We didn’t and just kept on with Sunday School, worship, revivals, prayer meeting, V.B.S. and just caring about each other and worshipping God through good and not so good times.

Finally in 1987 we felt led to call a young preacher named Brother Don Cooper as our pastor. Almost right away we began to grow and soon we were sitting in the Sunday School room for worship service and parking

our cars in the road, there was no space anywhere else. In 1995 we voted to build a new building. What a huge undertaking for us. It was almost unbelievable how everything came together. On the first Sunday in August 1996 about 65 people walked from our old building to our new one, just off Highway 45 between Rutherford and Kenton.

Remember this is August and its hot, but it was a sentimental journey for some and a new beginning for all.

So the first Sunday in August 2010 we are finally going to burn that thick note and it will be just a pile of

ashes. Everyone who is interested may come and witness this miracle. There will be singing led by our own Johnny Cavender, preaching by our beloved pastor, Brother Darryl Marcle, who has encouraged us so much since he came in 2004.

We will have lunch at 12 noon, more singing in the afternoon, Reggie Lefaye will be there with his saxophoine and Brother Don will preach at about 2.

God used so many people to lead us to this plane.

Lest we leave out someone we won’t name names but we know we remember and we cannot thank you all enough.

Charity Eskew of Rutherford had worked a number of years for Plastech before joining the ranks of dislocated workers when the company closed its doors in 2008. Eskew made the tough decision to return to school to improve her available skill sets before reentering the workforce.

Eskew was awarded a Workforce Investment

Eskew recovers from dislocation graduates BSTAct (WIA) Needs-Based Scholarship to enroll in the Business Systems Technology program at the Tennessee Technology Center at Newbern. She began classes in September 2008 and progressed quickly through the program accumulating 1,296 classroom hours before earning a Diploma in Business Systems Technology with an emphasis in Administrative Assistant.

In addition to attending training fulltime, Eskew earned a Silver National Career Readiness

Certificate. The National Career Readiness Certificate is the work related skills credential employers request. The Certificate provides proof of an applicant’s job skills and is composed of three WorkKey® assessments that measure skills critical to on-the-job success.

“Charity showed a true desire to achieve her career goals,” said Maria Waiters, Career Center Case Manager. “She worked hard on her studies and performed really well on the Career Readiness Certificate assessment. She

has all the tools for success; an excellent work history, a diploma, a CRC, and a positive attitude coupled with the will to work.”

Eskew found her motivation to be her children, Shirliyah and Christian. She relied on encouragement and support from her fellow classmates, Keshia Purdy and Christina Davis. Eskew is also grateful for her Business Systems Technology Instructor, Miranda Miller who provided guidance and direction to the soon-to-be graduates.

Following graduation in December 2009 and earning the CRC, Eskew accepted employment with Kohler in Union City, Tenn.

The Tennessee Career Center is Where People and Jobs Connect. Jobseekers can qualify for federally funded training programs. For more information contact Maria Waiters at the Tennessee Career Center at Humboldt 784-3552 or [email protected].

BY STEVE SHORTFaye Hudson and her

husband faced the future together.

Then they started riding the back roads.

Howard “Buddy” Hudson was well known to his neighbors as a landowner and farmer near Gibson Wells and the Gibson Co. and Crockett Co. line. He liked to hunt and fish and do taxidermy.

And he was elected as a Gibson Co. Road Commissioner for District 3 in 1998.

But a little over four years ago, Hudson developed cancer.

Accepting the sobering diagnosis, Hudson wanted his wife, Faye to be able to step in and handle his Road Commission work if needed.

“I rode with him on the county roads,” said Ms. Hudson last week. “I learned the district, and I know the district. I wanted to carry out what my husband wanted me to do. I wanted to serve. He was faithfully serving the people he represented.”

When Mr. Hudson passed away May 31 at the age of 71, his wife was appointed to take his place as interim Highway Commissioner.

Then last week, on July 12, the County Commission unanimously elected Eva Faye Claybrook Hudson to a 5-year term. There was no opposition.

She becomes the county’s first female Highway Commissioner.

“I guess it’s an accomplishment,” she said. “I never really thought about

FIRST LADY OF ROADS – Faye Claybrook Hudson was elected by the Gibson Co. Commission July 12 as the county’s first female road commissioner. She succeeds her late husband, Buddy Hudson who passed away May 31. Hudson heads District 3 which includes Brazil, Eaton, Sleepy Hollow and the county lake near Trenton.

She’s the ‘First Lady’ of roadsbeing the first woman. I like to help people, and being a road commissioner is a way of helping people to get new roads.”

The County Commission also honored Buddy Hudson by presenting Ms. Hudson with a signed resolution in appreciation of his public service.

“I thank each and every one of you,” she told commissioners. “I know I’ve worried you to death. But I like to look at you eyeball to eyeball when I talk to you. I appreciate your vote. If there’s anything I can do in any way to help any of you I’ll gladly do it. Thank you for what you’ve done for Buddy and for what you’ve done for me today.”

Road District 3 includes

the Brazil-Eaton area and reaches to Sleepy Hollow, said Highway Director Carl Stoppenhagen. The District touches the Crockett Co. and Dyer Co. lines and encompasses the Gibson Co. Lake.

All total, there are five road districts in Gibson County. Other Highway Commissioners are Gerald Davis, Mark McGill, George Pounds, and Lee Asbridge, along with the County Mayor. Now they welcome a lady to the board.

And when Faye Hudson leaves out of her driveway to survey her district, the name on a road sign will be a reminder of her former road commissioner.

She resides on Buddy Hudson Road.

Other top finishers in the championship flight were: Jackson’s Roger Cook and Greg Johnson, third place with 123 and Troy’s Mason Story and Kyle Ross, fourth place with 128.

Jason Stroup provided the calf stock.

Ted and Sue Baier, owners of the arena, were given special thanks.
