The Henderson board of mayor and aldermen passed the general budget, on the first reading, at last Thursday night’s meeting with a property tax rate of $1.22 per $100 assessment. The budget will not be officially adopted until a public hearing is held at the city’s next meeting. Under this year’s budget, city residents will not see a property tax increase and city employees will receive a 3 percent raise. According to the ordinance, the proposed budget will yield a little over $2.6 million in new revenue and a projected fund balance of $850,000 totaling a general fund revenue of $3,455,750 for the city. The board voted to pass the utility budget on the second and final reading, all voting in favor except Alderman Bobby Barnes who
voted against the utility rate increase. Under the 2010-2011 utility budget, Henderson residents will see an increase in sewer rates that would average approximately $3 more per bill, while county residents would see an increase in their water and gas rates. Water rates for county residents would increase $0.94 per thousand gallons and gas rates would increase to $0.30 per Mcf. The utility rate increase was due to future expansion projects, sewer rehabilitation and to cover costs from lagoon flooding during the severe flooding that affected most of Tennessee. Utility Director Mark Elkins announced at the meeting the engineering firm that surveyed the condition of the east See BUDGET, Page 2-A

Henderson resident opens for headlining country act The stars are aligning for one Chester County resident, literally, as she recently has been brushing up with some of country’s mega-stars. Beating out crooners from Florida, Mississippi and Alabama, Kimberlie Helton, of Henderson, recently won her preliminary round of Alabama’s Colgate Country Showdown talent competition, making her eligible to compete in the Alabama state final this fall. As a part of her winning, she got to open for Randy Houser that same evening at the Choctaw Festival in Gilbertown, Ala. Houser is known for his mega-country hits such as, “Boots On”, “Anything Goes”, and he also co-wrote “Honkytonk Badonkadonk.” Helton was last year’s winner of the West Tennessee Idol competition, a preliminary to Tennessee’s version of the Colgate Country Showdown. Helton also gained recognition for her talents this past weekend at the coveted CMA Music Festival in Nashville as she entered an on-site open mic

Budget and south lagoons reported the flood waters benefited the south lagoon pushing out all the sediment and material at the bottom. “The flood waters actually worked to our benefit for the south lagoon,” informed Elkins. “It’s literally like brand new.”
However, according to the engineering firm, the east lagoon, although not directly affected by the floods, will need to be dredged, which can in some cases be a costly feat. “There is sludge in the east lagoon up to about four feet,” Elkins explained. “The lagoon itself is only about five foot deep.” Elkins added FEMA would not assist in funding in the east lagoon mainte-
nance because through the sampling of sludge in the lagoon, it was determined the material in the lagoon was not caused by the flooding. The board also discussed the possibility of applying for a $200,000 state parks and recreation grant that would require a 50 percent match from the city. City Recorder Jim Garland said Henderson was one of only two
municipalities in the state that has never applied or
and were awarded where would they come up with t h e matchi n g funds? “ I wouldn’t touch it (grant) ~ Utility Director Mark Elkins u n l e s s w e k n e w received a state parks and where every matching recreation grant.

Library spilling into the computer station and aisles of the library. Recently Librarian Nancy Canada made a plea to county and city officials for future contemplation of an expansion of the facility, noting how crowded the facility becomes when a large number of children attend the programs. She proposed that officials explore the possibility of expanding the facility with a 20’ by 30’ addition on the west side of the building. Next Tuesday at 10, The Shiloh Regional Library Puppeteers will treat children to a puppet show, and Clay Canada will do a fishing demonstration and explanation on Wednesday at 10.

Congratulations to Megan Knipper and Derek Tompkins on their marriage Saturday. Megan is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mark Knipper and Derek is the son of Debra Tompkins. They were married in a beautiful ceremony with Bro. Paul Roaten officiating at Ivy Hall. We wish you the very best life together. Happy birthday to Linda Robertson on June 16 and Farley Guy on June 20. Have a great birthday. Still on the prayer list are Alma Murley, Sonny Grimm, Jean Murley, Winna Knipper, Larry
Privett, Teresa Colbert, Nancy Turner, Dennis Bain, Sherry Roark, Edra Barnett and Linda Holder. We have an unusual monument in the Cagle Cemetery at Pleasant Springs Methodist Church. I live within a stones throw of the cemetery and was walking one day and there were people working there in the cemetery, so to be friendly and a little nosy I stopped and introduced myself. They were Charles Holloway and his son John from Memphis. The Cagles are ancestors of theirs and John and his wife Vickie had been to this cemetery to place flowers for their loved ones over the years. Vickie fell in love with the place and decided that she wanted to be buried there even though they had cemetery plots there in Memphis. She had cancer
barn, but fresh-baled hay would work for party seating – hint-hint! Celebrating Memorial Day and the Fourth of July are Bobby and Debra Rush Connor. Patriotic ribbons are neatly arranged on the fence. I feel like saluting when I pass by simply looking for the open sign at Robison’s peach orchard. It is that time of the season. Anyone want peach ice cream? If not, go to Cindy’s end of the year sale for flowers or herb plants – I bought the pineapple herb. Tie a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree rings true for Jimmy and Sherry Connor, Junior and Shirley Bailey, Bill and Ann Jordan, Bobby and Debra Connor. They are showing their love and support for Kyle Connor. Good news to share – he is back in the states from Iraq. He will celebrate the
Fourth of July in the USA. Show your support to Kyle and family by displaying a yellow ribbon. C plus D equals a wedding! Candace and Dustin exchanged promises on June 12, 2010, at 6 p.m. at Pinson Baptist Church. A friend of mine from college, Bro. Jerry Welch, pronounced them husband and wife. Parents are Claude and Nancy Cain and Billy and Karen Shumate. Special music, “When I Look at You,” was sang by Abbie Bayless. The community wishes you a blessed marriage. Celebrate the opportunity to grow and learn and take up the challenge of each new day and celebrate your new life together hand in hand. Somewhere nearby is another couple about to have a golden anniversary; isn’t that a goal to work toward? Reaching that anniversary

One-year old does a big karate chop on her very first birthday cake (June 16) at Bass Karate Studio! Kylan King is taking after her daddy, Kevin. With hands-on-experience she wacked the special cake that her mother, Megan, brought for her daughter. Admiring the chop were grandparents, Ron and Debbie Smith and Brian and Jan King. Ready to join the second karate move were great-grandparents, Fran Bailey, Emmett and Margie Hatchett, and Joann Smith. Putting on black belts were Cathy and Chris from Evansville, Ind., to show support for
their niece. Others were waiting for permission from Kylan to eat the other cake. No one wanted to pull back broken fingers from this future black belt babe! They didn’t bring any fragments from an iceberg, but they brought back memories. Newsome and Joann Jones were invited to take a cruise with Tim and Cindy Jones Droke. They went to Alaska for a week, but now their ship has docked. Back on soil, they are now seeing hot weather. Wonder if they are ready to return to cool temperatures! The community is waiting for the barn-warming since the barn is raised! Toby and Kami Connor have a gorgeous barn. Is there a weather vane? Looks good enough to rent rooms, but common horse sense says there will be no horsing around in this

for a year and before she died in April, she commissioned her husband and father-in-law to build her a monument. John is an engineer and Charles is a carpenter. Then Vickie decided she wanted to be cremated and some of the family members went along and decided that they would be cremated, also. Then the plan began. So after Vickie’s death, John threw himself into designing and building the monument. Charles and John’s seven children were a great help, also. The base is approximately eight feet in diameter. They embedded four ash boxes into the concrete then there is a tall concrete column in the center with a statue or figurine of Jesus with a child on top.
Around the center of the base at the column are holes in the concrete for flowers. I just thought it was a very neat idea. I don’t know if I have described it to where you can get a picture, but if passing stop and see it. Keep in mind the community reunion is Saturday, June 26. If you know people out of town, give them a call to tell them about it.

will tell how blessed you really are! Best wishes, Mr. and Mrs. Shumate. The dough-mixer is back in Kay Robison’s pantry. With extra help from Regina Stone Brooks, Cathy Scott, and Shirley Bailey, the doughrolling has come to a halt. The numerous bowls of dough formed 2,012 pies with centers of peach or apple filling, and some chocolate. If you desire raw frozen pies, contact Pat Jones at 989-7485. The new peaches will be potted and canned by Alma Jones, Kay Robison, Kathy Mays, and Joann Jones for next year. Our community extends sympathy to the families of Quay L. Gaddy (1-16-27/ 6-12-10) and Horace E. Mount (8-2524/6-10-10). Horace was one of the “Oldies, but smarties” from Jacks Creek; we shall miss his
stories of yesteryear and slight smile, but his words were full of wisdom that lingers. Horace was a gentleman from the greatest generation, and a daddy that loved his daughter. He was a man that served his country, and experienced loss of loved ones from two wars. Horace knew how to celebrate the goodness of life. He was blessed because he chose to see the grace above and beyond the pain. He was a potential friend in each stranger that crossed his path. His word was his bond; he was respected by family and friends. His concern was not of himself, but of others. To Jimmy Melton who played on guitar and sang, “Amazing Grace” (a heart in tune with God can’t help but sing His praise). To the family, “Sit down and stay cool” are words to treasure. God bless you.

Hope all of you came through Sunday’s storm OK. Jeff Hilton had the roof blown off his shed. There were trees down at the cemetery, power was out for at least an hour, and limbs and debris was everywhere. When I stepped out on my carport, water was rushing across it. It looked as though it was raining in four directions all at once and the wind was fast and furious! The Faith and Hope area food bank is asking for your help. They need donations of non-perishable food items. There is a list provided to give you an idea. They started off with a good bit of support, but it has fallen off. The churches involved are Faith Baptist, Hopewell, Oak Grove, and Grace Baptist. You may donate food items, or $5 a month from families would go a long way to purchase things needed. If you have questions, contact Rick Ratcliff at 989-4199 or Randy Morris at 9895563. Each time you come through the church doors, bring a few cans or items to drop in the food box. If you take my hand, I take someone else’s, and together we can make a difference. The monthly singing will be hosted by Pleasant Ridge Church at 6:30 p.m. June 26. The public is invited. Remember to get your items ready for the
Appalachia trip. They will load Friday, June 18, and leave June 19. For information, call Neal Kinchen at 989-7342. On our prayer list are David Varvel, Loretta Pickett, Malcom Cupples, John Massengill, Michael Barclay, Teresa Colbert, Carolyn Mayfield, Mary Russell, Rayford Mayfield, Alyse Rietz, Betty Stout, Chrissy Busby, Butch Cates, Thelma Pritchard, Kathryn Carroll, Brenda Collins, Peggie Phillips, and our military and their families. Happy birthday to Brenda Tedford, James Kelly and Leigh Ann Lewis on June 17; Josh Bullman on June 18; Deanna Pickett on June 19; James Bullman on June 20; Dr. Erika Creech and Jason Busby on June 21; Debbie Arnold on June 22; and Phillip Garner on June 23. Happy anniversary to Junior and Frances Brooks on June 20 and Jackie and Christy Gilliam on June 21. Don’t forget Father’s Day is Sunday, June 20.
Mine is no longer with me, but I learned so much from him. Many times I say something that sounds like something dad said. I find myself wishing I had a little more time with him. Spend time with your dad while you can. Thought for the week: When a man gets too old to set a bad example, he starts giving good advice. This is the last week to check out the sale at Sweetlips Greenhouse. Cindy thanks all her customers who have been so loyal through the years. Hope to see you next season! Have a great summer; get out and dig in the dirt.

Sunrise is ‘good work’ Dear Editor, I very much applaud Dr. David Coy and his column in the county newspaper, trying to reach out to those who need help in having a better and stronger relationship with life, and with themselves! While the world is getting worse, we can become better with GOD’s and Dr. Coy’s help! Keep up the “good work” and keep on fighting for what’s right! Ralph B. Scott Henderson
Around our Appalachian farm, winter was slow to retreat. We had measurable snowfall twice in April, not unusual weather for this region although meteorological spring was three weeks old. Killing frosts extended deep into May, burning back rows of potatoes I had planted when possessed of irrational exuberance. A 22-degree morning May 4 froze water in the chicken house and produced a skein of ice on the pond. Snow covered this part of Appalachia for most of the winter. When it should have receded, opening ground for the thaw, the snow pack persisted. Migrating birds came home any way but found an unwelcome landscape. Robins clustered where drifts were shallow, pecking in the frozen leaves and dirt in hopes of finding worms and bugs. It was a hard living. The annual woodcock migration and courting ritual was off-kilter. We mark the approach of spring by the arrival of these small, long-beaked game birds at their “singing fields” in late March and early April. Our back pasture is one of the special places where male birds stake out territory in the evening, during the brief twilight time between sundown and true dark. They challenge rivals and attract females with displays of singing and aerial derring-do. My wife and I find great joy in observing these mating behaviors from the covered back
porch of the tool shed. Often, a male woodcock will set up shop in our garden, his antics clearly visible to us. He squats and produces a frog-like mid-range growl, preceded by an almost subsonic bass note like a cork popping from a wine bottle. This series of calling goes on for a minute, while the bird turns slightly to aim his amorous rumble toward several points of the compass. Then, he launches himself airborne, tweeting as he climbs: a plump acrobat on stubby wings. At the apex of his flight, he plunges to the ground in a widening spiral while twittering all the way. Female woodcocks apparently find this display irresistible. This year, however, the courtships were slow to start and erratic. I blame it on the stubborn snow pack. The birds need open ground, preferably pastures or buffer fields with last fall’s dried grasses and weeds in which to hide while conducting their amorous activities. Apparently to make up for lost time, some male woodcocks hung on in our singing field until late April, much later than we had ever seen. They called and flew, evening and at dawn, in hopes of attracting females. The first morning of the spring turkey hunting season, I listened to woodcock singing along the creek while waiting for a wild gobbler to thunder on his roost. It was April 19, far later than I had ever heard
Signs of spring include secret mushroom hoarding mating flights before. Speaking of hunting, those of us who search the woodland floor for dry-land fish – morel mushrooms – also experienced a difficult spring. We comprise an odd religion: friends and neighbors who become paranoid with each other during warm, rainy periods in April when the morels pop up in old orchards and around rotted logs. We might give a fellow mushroom hunter our last dollar at any other time of the year, but won’t even talk to him or her for several weeks in spring out of fear of blurting out the details of our last successful fungus foray. I’ve had a dear friend walk into our kitchen, sniff the air like a hound dog and declare: “Y’all fried mushrooms last night!” Despite our protests – and outright lies – to the contrary, he stomped out, commenting on our callousness and insensitivity. During a very good morel mushroom season,
you might invite folks over for a feast to prove your prowess as a hunter (because the hunting itself is a stealthy activity), but this year no one had enough to fry for himself, let alone have people over for dinner. “T’was a scant spring for mushrooms,” observed an old-timer, who blamed the late snows and dreary cold days for stunting the crop. We were at the feed store, a companion and I, loading my truck with fertilizer. The elderly man lit his pipe, blowing a ring of blue smoke in our direction as he fixed us with an accusing stare and opined: “But it could be some folks ain’t tellin’ the truth about the dry-land fish they found.” Other men on the loading dock stopped their work and stared. I professed innocence, which was the truth. My morel searches had been fruitless. But my companion stood silent, head hanging in shame. He’d been exposed!
The entire community would soon know of his duplicity and greed. What a shame, it was. But it just goes to show what a hard winter can do to a man. He was our preacher.

Unfulfilled expectations Grief, the pain of mind produced by loss, misfortune, injury or evil of any kind has a common denominator that most of us can identify with. This experience often is the cause of feelings of anger, frustration, discontent, and regret that arise within us during our journey with grief. We should recognize frustration as a normal response to disappointment. The stronger the DAVID COY relationship to our loss the deeper the feelings of anger or frustration will develop. The danger lies in feeding our anger or disappointment, because of our unfulfilled expectations. While expectations may be unrealistic, they may also remain unfulfilled. Our feelings of anger may indicate that we are unwilling to accept the change or difference in our lives directly related to our expectations. In turn, we feel a loss of control or not getting what we want or expect. When we are not willing or believe, nor able to let go of the expectation, our need for control, then our anger, frustration, or discontent will continue to grow. Regret feeds discontent which feeds frustration, which feeds anger. All of this hurts the mourning individual more than anyone else and may feed bitterness and revenge. The first key to overcoming unfulfilled expectations is to accept the reality of our situation related to our expectations. The Serenity Prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr illustrates this need beautifully: “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference…” We will continue next week as we further examine how to let go of unfulfilled expectations.

CRP Land: Hope for Young Farmers in area counties McNairy/Chester County landowners who are willing to sell or lease Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acres to new farmers can get federal cash with the Transition Incentives Program (TIP). The program was created by Congress in the 2008 farm bill in a bid to help new and minority farmers get over one of the biggest hurdles they face – finding affordable land. Signup for the new program, which began May 17, 2010, at Farm Service Agency offices, works this way: Owners of land that has been idled under CRP can get two extra years of CRP payments from the USDA if they agree to sell or lease the acreage under a long-term contract to a new or minority farmer. Contracts on 3201.1 acres of CRP land in McNairy/Chester Counties expire this year and on another 7107.4 acres in the following two years. The average annual CRP payment in TN is about $50 an acre. The transition incentive is available retroactively for qualifying deals that took place since the farm bill was enacted in June 2008. Nationwide, there are about 15 million acres under CRP contracts that expire through 2012. In McNairy/Chester County there are about 4302.5 acres that expire in 2012. If all program requirements are met, TIP provides annual rental payments to the retiring farmer for up to two additional years after the date of the expiration of the CRP contract, provided the transition is not to a family member. To learn more about the program, producers interested in applying and participating in TIP should visit their USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) county office or www.fsa.usda.gov. To be eligible, TIP requires that the retired or retiring farmer or rancher: Have land enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) that is in the last year of the contract. Agree to allow the beginning or socially disadvantaged farmer or rancher make conservation and land improvements.

Ella Mae Freeman, right, of Eaglewood, corresponded regularly with Kirk when he was fighting in Italy, but the two lost contact following the war. Their long-lost friendship was featured in a Veteran’s Day story in the Chester County Independent in 2008. Freeman and her daughter, Christine Watson, journeyed to Henderson last week. The threesome toured the sites of west Tennessee while reminiscing about Kirk and Freeman’s first meeting more than 60 years ago which took place completely through the services of the U.S. mail.

Lions Club News Two new Lions were inducted at the regular meeting on Monday, June 7. King Lion Bob Brown congratulated Lion Tim Childers, sponsor for new member Patricia Jones, and new member Barry Hutcherson, with his sponsor Lion Katrina Vince. Lion John Cole provided the official induction. The club met at the City Hall due to changes at the Wallace-Gano Cafeteria at FHU. The
Cafeteria is undergoing renovations which will eliminate the meeting room. Lion Donna Broyles and a committee are reviewing options for the club’s monthly meetings. Lions were reminded of the upcoming Walking Horse Show on Saturday, June 26 at the Henderson Fairgrounds. This event provides the Club’s biggest fundraiser of the year. Lions sell ads in the program, concessions, and collect registration and
gate fees. While there are numerous expenses for this show, it should be a great way to produce revenue to support for eye screenings, eye glasses for the needy, scholarships, sponsorships, etc. The public is encouraged to come out to the Horse Show. It is a lot of fun for all ages! The next meeting will be at 6 p.m. at Arnold’s Steakhouse on June 21 where the club will induct new officers.

Just because the season is over doesn’t mean that some of the Freed-Hardeman Lion baseball players aren’t still hitting the diamond this summer. Several of the Lions’ returning players are participating in collegiate summer leagues, most notably the Kentucky-Illinois-Tennessee (KIT) League and the Tennessee Summer Collegiate Baseball Association. Three Lions - catcher Leamond Arthur, infielder Josh Reynolds and pitcher Gage Franklin - are teammates on the Fulton Railroaders of the KIT League while a signee, Justin Stout, plays for the Marion Bobcats. In the TSCBA, infielder Mark Kelley, outfielder Blake Taylor, and pitchers Roman Kelly and Ryan Wood all play for the Nashville Panthers. Pitcher Drew Stofel is part of the Southern Middle Tennessee Wildcats. Both wood-bat leagues play through the end of July with playoffs beginning on Aug. 1. “It is exciting having so many of our guys playing at a high level this summer in collegiate leagues. Playing in these leagues gives them more experience at a high level which helps them to develop,” said FHU head coach Jonathan Estes. “Being able to have a good summer carries over to the fall in terms of confidence and preparation.”

A Lost Bunny! There once was a bunny and a dog. The dog was brown and the bunny was white. They had a friend, and his name was Hog. The bunny loved to hop, hop, hop. He could never stop, stop, stop. And once he jumped so high he got lost and the bunny was very scared. The dog and Hog were having so much fun they did not even know he was lost. He was in the deep dark woods. Nobody there, but an owl in the tree, gave him a big great scare. A coyote walked up and snatched the bunny by his neck of course it didn’t hurt him. “Help! Help!” he called. I’m about to be eaten.” Luckly his friend heard him. They said “Is that bunny?” They ran and ran and ran so hard that trees were falling. They did not find bunny until the next day. Bunny woke up and he was in a cave with food and water beside him. And there were 2 baby coyotes looking at him. And they were asking weird questions like, where did you come from? Why are you here? Do you have a mom? He looked at them, and sat up. They ran away for a couple of seconds and hid behind a rock because they got scared. Then they came back to him and started walking around him and sniffing and trying to smell him. He asked them where their mother or father

Chester County’s Johnson co-ops with Fluid Roofing Solutions Gary Johnson, a Tennessee Tech University student from Jackson, has been selected for a three-month cooperative education, or co-op, assignment with Fluid Roofing Solutions in Lexington. “The co-op program is an excellent way for students to gain the type of experience that will give them an edge in a very tight job market,” said Don Foster, Office of Career Services associate director. “In addition to helping students grow and improve their capabilities, co-op also provides income that can be used to help pay for college studies.” Tennessee Tech co-op students currently earn between $12.50 and $22 per hour and major in business, engineering, arts and sciences, and education. The university’s co-op program began in 1959 and has experienced record student participation during recent semesters. Tennessee Tech’s co-op office works with more than a hundred employers across the southeast – from busi-
nesses to industry and government agencies – to match students’ interests with co-op openings. Johnson, a 1996 graduate of Chester County High School, is the son of Jerry and Karen Johnson.
