GRIGGS PROMOTED - Mayor Sam Thompson congratulates Jason Griggs after he was promoted from Assistant City Recorded to City Recorder during the Monday, June 28 city board meeting. Kenneth McEwen retired from the position after 30 years.

BY MICHAEL ENOCHSMonday, June 28 was an historical day for the City

of Dyer. After 30 years of duty, city recorder, Kenneth McEwen tenured his resignation in order to begin his retirement. During the mayor’s report, Mayor Sam Thompson read McEwen’s letter of resignation to the city council. The council accepted McEwen’s resignation with well wishes for him to enjoy his well-earned retirement, although he will remain “on call” in case his help may be needed.

The council then appointed assistant city recorder, Jason Griggs, as the new city recorder. Griggs has been preparing for the job for the last couple of years as an understudy for McEwen in order that the transition will be as smooth as possible.

Visitors to appear before the council included Brent Croom and Treva Hunt. Croom asked if the board was considering an ordinance that would charge for the use of the ball fields at the city park and require a liability insurance policy. The Gibson County Baptist Association would like to use the ball fields during the last two weeks of July for a co-ed tournament and a men’s tournament. Alderperson Bitsey Gilliland advised that the city is currently working on an ordinance that has not been completed. Croom advised that the Baptist Association would acquire a liability insurance policy for the events. Alderperson Jimmy Landrum asked Croom to provide a copy of the policy for city hall to keep on file.

Treva Hunt spoke to the board representing Badgett’s Chapel C.P. Church in Rutherford. Hunt asked the board for permission to host a “Teen Night” in Dyer. Hunt mentioned possible locations for the event. The

council referred the issue to committee.Under department reports, Water and Sewer manager,

Randy Gregory advised that Newbern Machine had completed the repair work to the Industrial Park water tank. Gregory stated that they had done an excellent job.

Allen Leitherland is announcing that he will be seeking election to the office of Gibson County Commissioner District 16, Position 1.

Leitherland, a lifelong resident of Yorkville, is married to the former Brittany Griggs of Kenton. Allan and Brittany are members of Bethpage Baptist Church of Kenton. He is the owner of Leitherland Funeral Home in Rutherford and Leitherland Funeral Chapel in Kenton. He is also a part time farmer in the county.

Allen is a graduate of Gibson County High School, John A. Gupton Mortuary College and he received his bachelor’s degree in business from Bethel College. He is a member of Rutherford Lion’s Club, Mason Hall Masonic Lodge and Eastern Star, and Sons of Confederate Veterans.

“I posses Christian and conservative morals and would sincerely appreciate your support in the upcoming election,” said Leitherland.

BY STEVE SHORTA better trained local

workforce that can meet changing needs of business and industry is a top goal for Gibson County leaders in a new 5-year economic development plan.

Other goals in the plan include: promoting shopping in Gibson Co., evaluating the need for a county economic development recruiter; increasing high speed broadband service, creating a beautification committee, and promoting the county lake as a regional recreational facility.

The strategic plan for 2010-2014 is expected to be adopted by the Co. Commission July 12.

The Five Year Strategic Economic Development plan is required for the county to receive certification in the state Three-Star Program which partners with communities to create sustained economic growth.

BY MICHAEL ENOCHS & CINDY EASTThe 26th Annual Dyer Station Celebration

was kicked off Tuesday, June 29th with opening ceremonies held at the Dyer VFW. Dyer city officials and a large crowd gathered to launch the festivities.

After introductory remarks, the Boy Scouts of Troop #243 marched in smart military formation to the base of the VFW Post flagpole where they raised the American flag to begin the nearly weeklong celebration. As the troops saluted the banner, Veronica Richards sang the National Anthem. State Representative Curtis Halford gave a stirring speech about American values and beliefs that set the crowd applauding and waving flags.

More musical entertainment followed with patriotic songs from five members of the Beech Grove male chorus; Knott Bailey, Rodney Wilkins, Eddie Wade, Jason Wade, and Larry Wade. Mike

Needham followed, singing and playing electric guitar.

Some of the highlights of the opening ceremony were a speech by Hostess Princess Cati Sawyer and the appearance by the Dyer Station Celebration Queens, Caleigh Patterson, Kyndal Pulley, Sunny Green, and Aubree Green. Also there was a speech by the Grand Marshals, Bryan and Lori Cathey, and a big surprise for retiring City Recorder Kenneth McEwen, when Mayor Sam Thompson announced him as recipient of the Person of the Year Award.

As a wrap up, Johnny McIlwain led the crowd in singing “God Bless America” while calling all the Dyer Station Celebration committee members to come and join him at the microphone.

The praise singing followed at the Dyer Assembly of God Church. Wednesday the community wide church service and candlelight

Finney kicks off re-election campaign for state senate

MAKING A POINT - As wife, Tiffany, listens intently, State Sen. Lowe Finney stresses his priorities of jobs, education and improving health care during the kick-off of his reelection campaign in Trenton last week. A host of supporters filled the National Guard Armory for Finney’s announcement.

BY DANNY JONES,THE GAZETTE

State Senator Lowe Finney formally kicked off his reelection campaign with a barbecue dinner at Trenton National Guard Armory, Monday, June 28. A host of supporters and wellwishers filled the armory for Finney’s announcement.

“It was just four years ago at the Ed Jones Agri-Plex that I spoke about my intentions to run and here we are four years later and I am asking you to let me have four more years,” Sen. Finney said. “We have accomplished much, but there is more to be done. Rural West Tennessee needs a strong voice in the Tennessee

Senate and I want to continue to be that voice,” he said. “We might not always agree, but I seek your wishes before I cast a vote,” he added.

He went on to say, “We have a partnership you, the voters and me to help make Gibson, Madison and Carroll counties a better place to live.”

Sen. Finney thanked everyone who helped in any way putting this event together while recognizing his parents and grandmother who drove down from Dresden for the campaign kickoff. “On Monday of next week, my wife, Tiffany, and I will be celebrating our second wedding anniversary,”

he said, “This is her first campaign, but you wouldn’t know it. I tell you right now, I wouldn’t want to be running against her,” he said.

“Our campaign starts today. I want to continue to be your state senator and I need your help and vote,” Sen. Finney said. He listed jobs, education and improving health care as his priorities.

Sen. Finney also thanked the host committee saying that he appreciated their help and support. “I couldn’t do it without you. Thank you so much,” he concluded to a standing ovation.

Trenton Mayor Tony Burriss introduced the senator and gave the benediction.

CAMPAIGN KICK OFF - State Representative Curtis Halford had a full day of campaigning Thursday, July 1 when he announced his intentions to seek re-election. The day began with an apperance on the Mike Slater Show in Jackson at 8 a.m. A 10 he was present for the ribbon cutting at the bridge on Highway 54 with Governor Phil Bredsen in Trenton. He made his formal announcement at the Courthouse at noon. Following lunch he met with Milan Mayor Chris Crider and interviewed with Stevie Ray for 93.7FM. Halford traveled to the Carroll County Courthouse in Huntingdon, making his announcement there. The day wound down with a cookout in downtown Dyer. Friends and supporters were treated to grilled hamburgers, hot dogs and sweet treats. Among those attending the cookout with Halford and his wife Charlotte were County Mayor candidate Mark Renfroe, Sue Crocker, Gibson County Patriot president David Nance and Jim Murphy

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) approved a request from the State of Tennessee for a 30-day extension of the deadline to register for federal assistance for those affected by severe storms and flooding between April 30 and May 18, 2010.

Tennesseans can now file for Individual Assistance through August 5, 2010.

Likewise, the deadline to submit loan applications to the U.S. Small Business

or (2) the actual time the building or improvement is substantially damaged, provided the total time the property is destroyed or damaged and not replaced or restored, exceeds 30 days.

•Grant for litter collection – A resolution authorizes Sheriff Chuck Arnold to apply for grant funds from the Dept. of Transportation to pay for collection of litter and trash.

FEMA extends registration deadlineAdministration (SBA) has also been extended through August 5, 2010. While no one is required to take out an SBA loan, applications are a key part of the FEMA registration process. A loan denial may open up other assistance to eligible applicants.

presents strategies to reach goals pertaining to existing industry, manufacturing recruitment, workforce development, retail/service, tourism, agriculture, infrastructure assessment and educational assessment.

Objective 1 is “Workforce Development.” The mission is to create and maintain an environment where Gibson Co. is training youth and adults in K-12 and higher education to meet the ever changing needs of business and industry. Objectives include improving high school and higher education graduation rates, recruiting higher paying jobs and retaining graduates in local jobs.

Objective 2 is “Shop Gibson County.” The mission is to increase the awareness of local residents about the favorable impact of supporting local business. More shopping at home can increase sales tax revenues, increase services, improve schools, increase business profits, attract new business, reduce vacant buildings and give consumers more choices. Participants are Chris Crider, Tommy Burris, Bob White, Jason Griggs, John Mayhan and Gil Fletcher.

Objective 3 is “Enhance

the Countywide Recruitment Effort.” The mission is to improve employment opportunities that lead to lower unemployment, increased tax revenue and property values, and improved quality of life. A task force would evaluate hiring a countywide economic development recruiter.

Objective 4 is “Develop Broadband Service throughout County.” Mission is to develop a plan to have high speed broadband access available throughout the county. Broadband would help industry and improve education and employment opportunities for residents.

Regulations on unsightly places and dwellings can make the county more attractive, safe and free of health hazards, the plan states.

Letter to the Editor:

Opinion:

Clayburn Peeples reports:

It was all in the newspapers Arsenal closure would result in $202 million hit to Tennessee economy “Oh look, Mommy, a real newspaper!”

said my young daughter Grace, upon spying a Commercial Appeal rack outside a restaurant several weeks ago.

A “real newspaper.” I thought about her comment the other day when someone gave me an old Los Angeles Times, an edition from February of the year 1960. That was the era of “real newspapers.”

Alas, those days are gone, and papers with the kind of influence major dailies once had are as dead as the dinosaurs. I guess you would have had to be alive at the time to know just how important newspapers were back then. Looking at that 50-year-old Los Angeles Times I was painfully reminded of how much we gave up when we put aside our newspapers and began turning instead to the likes of Katie Couric and Anderson Cooper to tell us what we need to know.

Nineteen sixty was an election year, of course. The year, in fact, that John Kennedy won the presidency. In February of that year, however, he was just one of several candidates vying for the democratic nomination. The Times covered them all, and I was amazed at how balanced their coverage seemed to be. In that day’s issue there was a long article about Lyndon Johnson, one of a series of profiles on the candidates called, “Potential Presidents.” Another article reported on the four-day fundraising trip to the state just ended by Hubert Humphrey. Humphrey’s supporters, reported the paper, had “responded with an outpouring of checks,” so many, in fact, that unofficial reports tallied the contributions at more than $10,000, barely the price of a single ticket to some of today’s tonier political fund-raises.

Another candidate, Sen. Wayne Morse, of Oregon, had just announced that he would challenge Sen. Jack Kennedy in the upcoming Maryland primary.

Still another candidate, Sen. Stuart Symington, of Missouri, made the news by threatening to release “secret” information regarding the Soviet Union’s missile capabilities. The democrats that year planned to run on a national defense issue, and a claimed “missile gap” would be a major campaign issue.

Outgoing president, Dwight Eisenhower, had hastily planed a three-day visit to the “huge missile test center” at Cape Canaveral, Florida. The trip, his advisors assured everyone, had no connection at all to the democrats’ claims that we were behind the Russians in military defense.

The man Eisenhower had twice defeated for the presidency, Adlai Stevenson, had just the previous day departed for a tour of

The relocation of 600 production jobs from the Milan Army Ammunition Plant to an Iowa company would result in a total $202 million negative impact on the Tennessee economy and more than 2,400 lost jobs, according to a report released this week from the Milan and Carroll County Chambers of Commerce.

“This report should leave no doubt in anyone’s mind that keeping these jobs in West Tennessee is the right thing to do for the whole state,” State Sen. Lowe Finney (D-Jackson) said Wednesday. “These figures underscore the need for a serious, all-encompassing study that takes into account this disturbing data.”

The Army is using an Environmental Assessment released earlier this month to justify moving 600 jobs

BY TOM BEASLEYExperience is the best

teacher. This old adage is tested and seldom fallible. History repeats itself is as well. Education and experience are tools to build on; increase knowledge and insure progress.

Indoctrination is a tool employed to narrow the field of view; impose concepts and behavior based on a confining, idealistic agenda and motive and include only select knowledge and belief to the exclusion of all others.

In the South, we’re familiar with the “Good Ole Boy” system; that rewards cronyism rather than talent. This system is an ideal framework and backdrop for supporting and driving an agenda. It provides a network of loyal recruits to support immunity from criticism and challenge by controlling information and response to divert and cloud responsibility and accountability. Fear is the primary driver and motivator.

You may have heard; “Never waste a good crisis!” What has transpired in the last 16 months? Our President stated new foreign policy that both demeaned and weakened our position of leadership and influence as a world power! More attention has been devoted to “Global Initiatives and Governance,” improving relations with foreign adversaries and societal change than problem

Latin America. Stevenson claimed not to be a candidate, but said he would accept the nomination if were offered.

One of his strong supporters, the widow of Franklin Roosevelt, made the news when the bus in which she was traveling was forced off the road in a snowstorm. Ms. Roosevelt, who had been scheduled to speak in West Virginia, took the train back to New York.

In congress, civil rights voting legislation was blocked once again, and as usual in that era, by democrats. The republican leadership, however, refused to give up, and promised to continue the fight.

Across the world, the government of Jordan gave a group of Christian archeologists permission to enter the country in search of the ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. The French government announced it was sending more troops to Algeria.

Salk polio vaccinations were scheduled across the city the following week, relieving moms and dads of what was once one of parenthood’s greatest fears.

Newspaper advertising, said an article in that day’s paper, had set an all time record in 1959, and I believe it. The Monday issue I was reading was absolutely loaded with ads for everything from women’s girdles to ground beef. Ground beef, by the way, could be bought that week for 39 cents a pound. T-bone steaks were $1.09, and chuck roast 49 cents.

You could get your shirt laundered and pressed for 18 cents. A new set of Goodyear tires for your car could be had for $63.80. If you wanted whitewalls, it would be $4.00 more per tire.

All this, and a lot more information, was in a single day’s issue of that paper, and for much of that information, the record of it having happened exists no place else on earth. Something to think about as we watch news reports on television of one paper after another going to press for the final time.

Today, as almost all of the giant metro newspapers are either dead or dying, there is more news than ever, and there is actually more reporting of it; there are even television and radio networks that fill the air that report nothing but news.

But that’s where all that news goes, into the air, and how you gonna find it 50 years from now? As the old saying goes, the spoken word will fly away, but the written word, is here to stay.

Thank goodness for the newspapers of the past. Think hard about what we are going to do without them in the future.

Because right now, there’s nothing to take their place.

solving at home! Powerful administrative

positions have been created, filled and paid for without legislative review! Targeted special interest groups and individuals have been granted generous access and privilege. The legislature and president have borrowed spent and allocated our resources and solvency to establish new programs in the name of crisis and social justice without dealing with our failing, bankrupt existing programs!

Transparency and bipartisan cooperation has been absent! In 16 months our debt has increased by ½ of the total increase in the eight years of the prior administration, mostly for more government programs, regulation and control. Illegal immigration is out of control! Terrorist threats have increased both at home and abroad! Racial and ethnic bias has been resurrected! The private sector has declined and the government sector has grown!

An environmental crisis to the Gulf States has been addressed with more emphasis on establishing liability for damages than on reducing damage. Oil production, exploration and employment in the region have been imperiled by a moratorium.

Energy from coal, our most abundant, developed, energy resource is threatened along with related jobs.

New energy technologies have been promoted that are unproven, unreliable or unavailable at this time.

Private property rights have been abused. Free speech, religious freedom, gun rights and states rights have been attacked. Entire industries and institutions have been seized, restricted or controlled by government!

The legislature and administration appear driven to redefine and control our rights as individuals rather than respecting and protecting them! America has serious problems and we need serious, capable and focused people working for us, not social reform or a global initiative!

Government is too big, controlling and counterproductive to both itself and us. We are paying more to serve expanding government and control rather than receiving increased benefit and service by government at all levels!

High unemployment and financial uncertainty do not justify higher taxation, increased spending, borrowing, regulation and mandates.

Government has no control of itself and we have lost control of government. It’s our government, our history! Are we experiencing change we can believe in! Where’s the hope? What have we learned? Wouldn’t global issues be better served by solving our own first?

from the Milan arsenal to an Iowa contractor. In response, Younger Associates in Jackson released a 50-page report showing that more than 2,400 jobs related to the arsenal’s work would be lost across the state, including 1,142 in Gibson and Carroll Counties alone.

$30.1 million in consumer spending would be eliminated in Gibson and Carroll Counties, according to the report. Local governments – including schools – in those counties would lose $1.2 million annually in tax revenue decreases.

“Losing these jobs hurts more than just the people working at the arsenal. It hurts literally every Tennessean and cripples Gibson and Carroll Counties,” Finney said. “The federal government

can argue all it wants, but those are the facts.”

Finney and other state and federal lawmakers are requesting an in-depth, independent study that would take into account the economic and environmental impact out of moving the jobs from West Tennessee.

The initial proposal also included the potential of storing depleted uranium waste at the arsenal. A fact sheet from an Army spokesman says that a new proposal will not include the waste.

America has serious problems

Dear Editor,The 8th congressional

district has only one chance of electing a conservative as our congressman, and that is Stephen Fincher our young farmer from Frog Jump. He is the only conservative candidate that can win the general election in November.

Dr. Flinn from Memphis has some problems, one really big one is that he lives in Memphis, not in the 8th district. Many people for some odd reason want to be represented by someone in their district.

Dr. Kirkland has even more problems. Among other things is his past

political involvement and lobbying for doctors as president of the Jackson Clinic and the AMGA. This has given him a black eye and his liberal opponent in the general election will likely black the other one.

Stephen has been criticized for participation in the farm subsidy program. With China as a competitor and heavily subsidizing their agriculture, our cotton farmers simply could not survive without something in place to level the playing field. The Chinese government also heavily subsidizes their steel industry. Have you noticed that much of America’s

metal working industries are gone?

I hope that our farmers are able to continue to feed and clothe America. If we can’t elect Stephen Fincher because of farm subsidies then how can we elect any farmer?

Should we stick with the doctors and lawyers, the highly educated geniuses who have us 13 trillion dollars in debt or a man with common sense, integrity, and Christian conservative values?

More than $244 million has been approved for federal assistance since President Obama issued a major disaster declaration for Tennessee on May 4, 2010, state and federal officials announced June 29.

More than 63,980 people had registered for help with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) from 46 counties designed for Individual Assistance.

An extension for filing a proof-of-loss statement with the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) has also been granted. Policy holders now have a total of 90 days from the date their home was damaged to submit a fully documented, signed and sworn proof-of-loss statement instead of the

usual 60 days. The flooding incident

period (April 30 to May 5, 2010) is different from the declaration period (April 30 to May 18, 2010) which includes severe storms and flooding.

More than $143 million has been approved for the Individuals and Households Program

($124 million in housing aid which includes rental and home repair assistance, and $19 million in other needs assistance such as personal property lost due to the storm).

More than $101.9 million in SBA low-interest disaster loans have also been approved following the severe storms and flooding between April 30 and May 18.

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 for those with speech and hearing disabilities. They also can register online anytime at http://www.DisasterAssistance.gov.

Disaster Recovery Center. Locations can be found at asd.fema.gov/inter/locator/drcLocator.jsp.

If you had damage from the severe storms and flooding that took place between April 30 and May 18, the deadline to register is Aug. 5.

Federal assistance tops $244 million in Tenn. flood recovery

Shawn Wortman, County Director, for the Gibson County Farm Service Agency Office, reminds all agricultural producers that annual crop reports for crops planted in the spring of 2010 and perennial crops are due by July 15, 2010. “Crop reporting is required to participate in all USDA programs. FSA crop reports assist in accurately reporting for crop insurance compliance and Boll Weevil Eradication program assessments.” Wortman said.

Crop reports not filed by July 15, 2010 will be assessed a late filing fee per farm. Contact the FSA Office for an appointment.

Annual crop reports due by July 15th

The skies over Kenton were aglow Sunday night with a rainbow of colors as citizens shot a multitude of fireworks as they proudly celebrated America’s 234th Birthday! Throughout the day families gathered for celebratory cookouts, enjoying an array of personalized menus that left all diners with contented smiles and full stomachs. We Americans are very blessed to live in a free land and we are indebted to each of her soldiers who fought and died for these freedoms.

Greenfield’s T-Ball All-Stars continue to play for the Cal-Ripken T-Ball Championship at Dyer’s City Park. Drake McAlister, son of Michael and Amanda McAlister of Kenton was one of the victorious athletes set to play for the championship on Monday evening. Congratulations to these young men on such a stellar season and post season.

Congratulation are in order for Bill Sanderson! At a dinner in Nashville recently, Bill was named Statesman of the Year for the 8th District. Bill also

is running for Tennessee State Representative. We wish him the very best with his campaign.

Food for Thought: We barbeque, swim, shoot fireworks galore, Go boating, visit family, and so much more. This holiday is celebrated in various ways, But there’s a deeper reason for this Independence Day. It’s about our nation’s liberty and freedom for all, “Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”, and equality for all. So amidst all the fun things you do today, Remember you’re free to do them ‘cause of the price others paid.

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

Thanks for relaying your news items to:

We had 60 present for our morning service.Lucky for us Danielle Rickman stepped in and replaced William Sims during our church service.

Yours truly was in charge of the children’s sermon. We remembered Israel “Izzy” O’Bryan a Newbern soldier who lost his life to an explosive device in Iraq on June 11. His grandmother Janette Ferrell Sanford was originally from the Mason Hall Community. I also told the story of Gideon and how God helped him deliver Israel and closed in prayer.

Bro. Don’s sermon was about celebrating being an American and all the things we enjoy and take for granted. Our flag cost

many lives. We should not be prone to evil and negative thinking as are some Americans. On July 4, 1776 our forefathers signed our independence from the British rule and our dependance on God. 1Tim. 2: 1,2 tells us we are to pray for our government and our polititians should want what is best for America. We value freedom and family. We have the right to protect those things. God is still in control.

In Bro. Don’s absence Micah Renfro will be preaching next Sunday. Please remember in prayer Bro. Don, our youth, and leaders as they will be on the mission trip to Eldon, Iowa.

God Bless America. Our Sunday 4th of July services opened with Mike Fields leading us in the hymn “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee.”

Dakota Warren opened us in prayer for our soldiers and our country. We all dismissed to our Sunday school classes.

Kay Fields opened the adult class in prayer before Diane Hamlin taught us our lesson from 1 Corinthians 8-11. What can I do? Christians have adequate criteria for determining if a behavior is appropriate for them.

William McDonald dismissed us in prayer.Several of our church members were on a mission trip in Nebraska this week.

Our worship hour began with Elaine Fields playing the piano and Kathy Hooper the organ as Mike Fields led us in several patriotic hymns; “O Beautiful For Spacious Skies,” “The Star Spangled Banner” and “The Battle Hymn Of The Republic.”

We all stood and said the pledge of allegiance to the American flag and the Christian flag. Rejoice in the Lord always.

We had our time of meet and greet with our church family and visitors. We thank the Lord for our visitors.

Carolyn Vandegriffe led a time of special prayer for Carolyn Powell.

Bro. John Fields delivered our morning message from Revelation 19:1-21 and 20:1-3. Mike Fields dismissed our services in prayer as the hymn “Turn your eyes upon Jesus” was sung.

Several enjoyed the Patriotic Cantata “America” and the Taste of Dyer at the Dyer CP Church Sunday afternoon.

Sunday night services were moved to Bro. John and Kay Fields’ home. We all enjoyed a great time of Bible devotion, food fellowship and watching the 4th of July fireworks display at the park.

Read your Bibles and be in prayer this week for our soldiers, their families and our country. Need a church to attend? We would love to have you; Sundays 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. online at keelymillbaptistchurch.com.

The Grapevine By Sarah Skinner

I’m sure everyone had a safe and happy 4th of July holiday. There were several family reunions being held and many other activities going on.

The Mays family held their reunion at the youth center in Kenton. Several out of state families attended.

The Booker family held their reunion at the Joe Booker home place in the Mt. Zion community, it was reported that a host of people attended and they had a wonderful time.

The Charlie White family had a cook-out Sunday at Vivian Moore’s house. Tracella Pitts family held their reunion Sunday in Trenton. There was plenty of good eating done over the weekend.

Last weekend Michelle Skinner, Rodney Alford, Sarah Alford, Mary Warren and I traveled to Milwaukee, WI and visited Stella Johnson, Alicia, Gary and Justin Moore and Mr. and Mrs. Albert Alford. We left early Friday morning and returned on Monday. We had a wonderful

time. We had good service at St.

Paul Sunday morning although several members were not present. Pastor delivered the message. His subject “What makes America the greatest Nation” was found in Psalm 33:12. A portion of the mass choir provided the music. Rev. and Mrs. Scott of Ripley were our visitors.

Rosie Mitchell, James and I visited Helen Dean Jackson and Family in Greenfield Sunday afternoon. Julia Faye Shane, Daphne and Merrisa of Lansing and Kevin Shane and his wife and children of Atlanta were home. Sarah Alford is spending several days in Collierville with her aunt Michelle.

James and I attended a banquet at the Double Tree Hotel in Jackson Saturday night. It was part of the former Trenton Rosenwald High School class of 1960 50th year class reunion. We were guest of my brother, Charles and Laura Warren. It was really enjoyable.

God bless and have a wonderful week.

Bethpage By Joyce Brown

We want to extend sympathy to Barbara Shields and her family in the loss of her mother, Julia Herron. Also, members of this community were saddened by the sudden death of David Short.

I failed to mention last week that Tim and Julie Griggs were also on our anniversary program presenting the history of Bethpage from the earliest recorded entries to the present time. Sorry for the omission.

We were blessed to have received a very substantial offering for the benefit of the cemetery upkeep. Thanks to all who gave so generously.

Our crowd was down a little this Sunday as several are vacationing.

Also, several attended the state tournament to support the North Gibson County All Star 7 and 8 year old baseball team. They showed well winning three games but lost the fourth so all returned Sunday afternoon. Good job, kids.

Jo Griggs and Janice Littleton played “Statue of Liberty” to open worship. Our welcome hymn was “Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory.” Charles Perryman sang a patriotic song “Bring Back the Cross” for our special music.

Bro. James preached from Luke 12:22-28. His title was “For Giving and Forgiving Us.”

Our youth are hosting New Salem youth in a lock in Friday night July 9. I know they’ll have a big time. Ladies, they can use some goodies for refreshments.

We dismissed services Sunday night in order to participate in the community wide worship service held at the Kenton gym. A sizable crowd attended and enjoyed different speakers and songs.

Those in attendance that had served in the military and families of those serving now or had served were honored and the Pledge of Allegiance was given.

Bro. Brian Robertson, Pastor of First Baptist, Kenton brought the sermon from Galatians. It was an appropriate message on freedom in Christ as well as our other freedoms as citizens of a Christian nation.

We are a Christian nation in spite of the efforts of satan and his emissaries doing all they can to shake our faith in that truth.

Our Vacation Bible School will be held July 11-14, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.. If you have children ages three through sixth grade, we would love to have them attend. Church members, be planning to help.

The Smithsons and Hardins entertained family from Colorado Springs last week. David Mulligan and his family spent several days enjoying Tennessee.

Those of us who know Jay Pratt are asked to pray diligently for him, his wife Anna and their little son, Jeremiah. They are leaving this week for a two year assignment in a very dangerous county to carry the Gospel to countless numbers who need Jesus.

Lowrance Chapel By Jerry Bell

We were thankful for our visitors, Kenny and Barbara Roberts from Little Rock, Arkansas. They were visiting with Kenny’s parents, Virgil and Jolene Roberts.

Our lesson was taken from the 119th Psalm entitled “Delighting in God’s Word”. We especially looked at verses 33-40. Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible consisting of 176 verses.

The Psalm is divided into 22 parts. The content of this chapter is respect, praise, and honor for God’s Word. I am afraid that we have lost much of our zeal to delight in God’s Word. How many read their Bible every day this past week? Did you even pick-up your Bible to read, except on Sunday when you were ready to “go to church?”

The Psalmist uses eight different words to refer to God’s Word; laws, testimonies, ways, precepts, statues, commandments, judgments, and truth. These words are used collectively over 150 times in these 176 verses. There is great respect for God’s Word in this Psalm. Let us look at verse 35 as it will be our central thought. “Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do

I delight.” For us to delight in God’s Word we must have a desire to delight. (33-35) The Psalmist is demanding from God that God set his ways aright. He says that he wants God to “Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statures; and I shall keep it unto the end,” “Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy Law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.” And “Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.” His desire is for God’s Word. For us to delight in God’s Word we must have a disdain for the devilish. (36-37) The Psalmist prefers God’s testimonies to the attitude of covetousness.

He wants God to turn his eyes away from vanity or emptiness and be made alive in God’s way. Covetousness and vanity go hand in hand. Covetousness is the result of misplaced priorities in one’s life.

The Psalmists desire is to replace his desire for the devilish with God’s ways. We disdain wickedness by filling our lives with goodness and things that have real value. For us to delight in God’s Word we must have a devotion to decree. (38-40)

The Psalmist next expresses his devotion to God’s Divine Decree by requesting to be established in God’s Word, praising God’s judgments, and longing for God’s precepts. He does these things expecting certain consequences; that he would have reverent respect for God, his reproaches would be disregarded and he would be made alive in God’s righteousness. He recognizes that his level of devotion to God is proportionate to those consequences.

The Psalmist understood that if he wanted to delight in God’s Word he needed to be devoted to the divine decree. What is your level of devotion to the divine decree? In conclusion then, for us to delight in God’s word we must have a desire to delight, disdain for the devilish and devotion to the divine decree. Let us all delight in God’s words.

BY STEVE SHORTGibson Co. will honor the

service and memory of two former officials at the July 12 meeting of the County Commission at the Ed Jones Agricomplex in Trenton starting at 9 a.m.

Two recently deceased officials, Commissioner John T. “Tommy” Price and District 3 Road Commissioner Howard N. “Buddy” Hudson will be honored by County Mayor Joe Shepard and county legislators with formal presentations to family members.

Born in 1946, “Tommy” Price served the Co. Commission 32 years continuously from Sept. 9, 1978 until his death June 9, 2010 at the age of 63. Among his many roles, he was Vice Chairman of the Commission and Chairman of the Budget Committee.

“Not only did Tommy serve

Gibson Co. as a Gibson Co. Commissioner, he served the community through countless acts of kindness and portrayed a servant heart in all that he did,” states a resolution.

Mr. Price leaves his wife, Jane Mills Price; three children, Teresa Lowery, Jeri Harbin and Will Price.

Born in 1939, “Buddy” Hudson was elected Dist. 3 Road Commissioner in 1998 and served until his passing. He was widely known as an avid hunter and fisherman, landowner, farmer, and skillful taxidermist, according to the resolution.

Mr. Hudson leaves his wife, Faye, daughter Loretta Reed and her husband, Scott.

Faye Hudson was elected to serve her husband’s unexpired Road Commissioner term through July. On July 12 Ms. Hudson will be recommended for election to serve a full term in the position.

County to honor service and memory of officials

The U.S. Small Business Administration is reminding homeowners, renters, business and non-profits in Gibson County impacted by the severe storms and flooding that struck Tennessee between April 30 and May 18, that the disaster loan outreach center in Trenton is open Monday through Friday 8 a.m. at 5 p.m. until further notice.

The center is located at the Fairgrounds on 1242 Manufacturer’s Row in Trenton.

SBA staff are on hand to issue applications, answer questions about the SBA Disaster Loan Program, explain the application process and help individuals complete their applications.

Anyone unable to visit the center may obtain applications and program information by calling SBA’s customer service center at (800) 659-2955 or by visiting www.sba.gov. The deadline to apply for physical damage is august 5, 2010.

APPRECIATION DAY – Janice Smith (right), owner of Check & Cash Depot in Humboldt, along with Melissa Scott (left), hand Emma Scott a free sack lunch consisting of a barbecue sandwich, chips and a drink during their Customer Appreciation Day. Several customers and well-wishers stopped in last Thursday and Friday for a free meal.

Outreach Center opened Monday through Friday

USDA Farm Service Agency State Executive Director Gene Davidson announced that Emergency Conservation Program (ECP) funds are being made available to farmers and ranchers in Tennessee to repair farmland damaged by natural disasters in 2010.

“USDA is committed to helping farmers and ranchers restore conservation measures on farmland devastated by the recent floods, tornadoes and other disasters,” said Davidson. “These funds will help producers recover from several potentially devastating events, and further USDA’s ongoing efforts to maintain a healthy agricultural economy that conserves our environment.”

Eligible Tennessee producers will be able to use the more than $9,020,000 being made available in the state through ECP to remove

farmland debris, restore fences, grade and shape land, and repair conservation structures that were damaged by floods and tornadoes.

For land to be eligible, the natural disaster must have damaged existing conservation measures that:

•if untreated will impair or endanger the land;

•materially affect the land’s productive capacity;

•represent unusual damage that, except for wind erosion, is not likely to recur frequently in the same area; and

•would be so costly to repair that federal assistance is or will be required to return the land to productive agricultural use.

All of the above conditions must be met for eligibility. Conservation problems that existed before the disaster are not eligible for cost-share assistance. USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) county

committees determine land eligibility based on on-site inspections of damage, taking into account the type and extent of damage.

Shawn Wortman, County Executive Director of the Gibson County Farm Service Agency stated that Gibson County producers were eligible to apply and that signup would begin June 14, 2010 and continue through July 30, 2010. “Agricultural land damaged by the excessive rainfall, floods or winds of May 1, 2010 through May 3, 2010 can apply for assistance at the FSA Office during the signup period. Eligible losses and producers may receive 75% of actual cost.” Wortman said.

James W. Richmond, a lifetime member of the Poplar Grove United Methodist Church congregation, brought in the sad news that the church was slated to close in early June and the previous Sunday of June 20 was the last meeting of the congregation. The Memphis Conference decided to close the church and send its members to join with the Greer’s Chapel congregation, as the Poplar Grove membership is no longer numerous enough to sustain itself.

For 162 years there has been a Methodist church, in one form or another, located

on the hill, which is three miles east of Dyer. The first church was erected in 1848 and was built of logs. The first frame church was built at the same location in 1855 or 56.

In 1889, a new church building was erected and the deed made to the Methodist Episcopal Church South. The building was remodeled and put on a solid foundation in 1918. In 1936, six Sunday school rooms were built, the interior reworked and the exterior brick veneered.

The church and contents were destroyed by fire in October of 1954. The building was replaced and

dedicated on June 29, 1958. Again in October 1972, the church and contents were destroyed by fire. The church was reconstructed and was formally opened on April 21, 1974. Now the church building and property will be put up for sale.

Richman stated, “The congregation of Poplar Grove wish to thank all in the surrounding area for their encouragement and support, for their prayers and love. Thanks also for all the help given while we were rebuilding from our losses from the fires over the years.”

Poplar Grove Methodist Church closes after 162 years cancer. Bur when the

moment arrives that without a doubt and with spoken certainty, “You have cancer,” it takes your breath away and forever changes your outlook on life.

On May 29, 2007, I was admitted to Vanderbilt University Hospital for the first round of chemotherapy for AML (Acute Myelogenous Leukemia). Treatment for leukemia is somewhat different form treatment for other cancers in that you receive chemotherapy continuously for several days. Since the only time that I had been a patient in a hospital was to have a couple of babies, the thought of being confined for a lengthy period was not appealing. Luckily, all things evolved as expected and the drugs eradicated the leukemia. I was considered in remission but there was yet another step before the treatment was complete. After about 10 days at home, it was back to Vanderbilt for a repeat of the previous treatment. My doctors indicated this was “icing on the cake” and was definitely to my benefit. After 20 or so additional days of hospitalization, I was home again with the good news that I was still in remission.

Naturally, follow-up visits were necessary but until March of 2008, all things were good. After 8 months of remission, it was back to the hospital for additional treatment and yet another 3-4 weeks of

Carroll shares story of survivalfrom page 1

Gregory also advised he is having trouble with the rate of flow meter at the water plant. This matter will need immediate attention because this controller is one of the most vital parts of the water treatment process. Gregory also advised that the EPA has instituted new tests relating to the annual sludge inspection. The cost of the new tests would be $430.

Griggs named new city recorderfrom page 1 The council approved

measures to install and replace the rate flow meter and pay for the EPA tests.

In the fire committee report, Committee Chairman, Cody Childress informed the board that the paging system for the fire department had malfunctioned and a new system had to be purchased as soon as possible.

Childress stated that Fire Chief, Bob Moore

had informed him of the situation and that this was an emergency situation because firefighters could not be paged to respond to a fire without the system.

In the park committee report, Gilliland advised that the city could apply for a park grant for a maximum of $200,000 that would require a 50 percent match. City Recorder Griggs would look into the possibilities of getting the grant.

confinement. Unfortunately, I contracted a resistant staph infection (MRSA) and ended in ICCU on the ventilator but the leukemia was in emission, which was good news. I simply needed to get rid of the infection and recover that ordeal. Family and staff were concerned with my husband Dan’s high blood pressure and the stress he was experiencing, so a nuclear stress test was scheduled for him. Little did we know that the stress test would turn into a cardiac cath and the e placement of stents in his arteries. Thankfully, our children were able to split their time between us through this ordeal and we al enjoyed a true family vacation later in the summer.

By July of 2008, I was no longer in remission and stem cell transplant was the subject at hand. The first order of the day was to get back in remission if possible. As luck would have it, I again contacted MRSA following chemo and had to have surgery on my leg because the infection had settled in a pulled muscle. The next few weeks were quite frustrating. I was again in remission but until the surgical wound healed, transplant was not possible. After listening to all the things that I could not do after the transplant, I was not totally convinced that transplant was for me. The only other option was to sing up with clinical trials, hope for a major breakthrough, and live life as best I could.

Needless to say, I had a peripheral blood stem

cell transplant. My brother was a perfect match and that was a s good as you can get…a related 10 ro4 10 math c. Dan and I had to stay in an apartment in Nashville for 100 days after transplant. My new birthday is October17, 2008, and I am still in remission. The transplant process does accelerate the aging process and I do experience arthritic symptoms, cannot stay outside in the hot or cold extensively, and cannot tolerate the sun as I once did, but I am still here to complain about all these things.

All stem cell transplant patients are not as fortunate as I have been. Statistically, about 25 percent of them do not survive either the transplant or the disease. For whatever reason, God saw fit for me to survive all the treatments, infections, and transplant. I genuinely believe that the multitude of prayers said on my behalf were a large part of my survival. Other factors were faith in my doctors and caregivers, my own will to live, and my faith in God’s will. Until spending all those many days in the hospital and away from home, I never realized how many people even knew who I was, much less cared enough about my well being to send a card, make a phone call or day a prayer for me. So every time you take the time to think of others, it does mean more than you realize.

My message to all is live each day to the fullest and trust in the Lord.

Each year, Gibson Electric Membership Corporation sponsors the Washington Youth Tour short story contest and sends a group of high school juniors to Washington, D.C.

The delegates get the chance to see how our political system works, visit historic monuments and museums and meet with their congressional representatives. Along the way, they learn about the rural electrification program and why it’s still an important part of their lives back home.

Incoming freshmen who plan to attend the University of Tennessee at Martin during the fall semester can get prepared for college life by attending a Summer Orientation and Registration (SOAR) program.

The final SOAR date has been scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, July 26-27. Check-in is set for 2:30 p.m., at Boling University Center.

Students will get the opportunity to meet with academic advisers and register for classes; tour the campus, residence halls and University Village; receive information about student activities, housing and financial aid; and hear detailed information about First-Year Initiative (an orientation for freshmen the week before classes). Students should attend both SOAR and First-Year Initiative prior to the fall semester.

Students and parents will participate in a variety of informational sessions such as those on financial aid, student health services, public safety, bookstore, student employment and other topics.

Additional concurrent sessions also are scheduled for students and parents with topics including student activities, Greek life, housing and meal plans.

Administrative offices will be open and students and parents will get

additional time to tour the campus and visit with UT Martin personnel in housing, admissions and financial aid.

In order to attend SOAR, students must have applied for admission and received a tentative or final acceptance letter. Advance SOAR registration is required.

For more information about SOAR, or to register, call the office of admissions toll free at 1-800-829-UTM1 or 731-881-7027. Online registration is also available at www.utm.ed.

Gibson EMC’s short story winners awarded the trip were Micah Lanier, Lake County High School; Mary Medling, Dyer County High School; Diana Whitmore, Obion County High School;

Shanna Laman, Crockett County High School; and Beau Jackson, Peabody High School.

YARD OF THE MONTH – The Rutherford area ACTION Club Yard of the Month for July is the home of Paris and Betty Bryant at 112 Hopper Street. The Bryants have many beautiful flower beds containing Japanese honeysuckle vines, knock out roses, weeping yaupon, petunias, calla lilies, marigolds, azaleas, crepe myrtles, butterfly bushes and rose of Sharon. Betty has lots of garden knome statues and other yard ornaments. She began gardening while recovering from cancer many years ago. “I started gardening as therapy when I had cancer in 1998. I couldn’t work or stay in the house all the time. I love flowers and now I’m addicted to them. I can’t turn them down,” said Betty.
