CW4 Dan Cole memorialized with dedication of portion of Hwy. 45 By Mary Mount Dunbar Staff Writer
On Tuesday morning, Tennessee General Assembly named a portion of U.S. Hwy. 45 in memory of Chief Warrant Officer 4 Daniel Cole. The resolution was decreed on Sept. 10, 2012, by the Chester County Commission. A graduate of Chester County High School and F re e d - H a r d e m a n University, Cole served in the U.S. military for more than 20 years before he lost his life when his OH-58D Kiowa Warrior helicopter crashed on July 9, 2011, in Campbell County. Another Guardsman was also killed in the crash, which occurred during a routine training flight. A tremendous gathering of friends, family, military personnel, Chester County residents and state and local dignitaries assembled
Tuesday morning for the reading of the resolution and the dedication of the highway in Cole’s memory. “It is a privilege to join with Senator [Dolores] Gresham in sponsoring the legislation that brought about this event,” said Tennessee Representative Steve McDaniel, who along with Gresham, was present at the unveiling. Born Feb. 20, 1970, Cole is remembered as athletic, outgoing and funny. He was involved in various sports while growing up and was known for his ability to make people laugh. “He was a warrior, Guardsman and family man who came from a Guard family,” said Brigadier General Terry Ethridge, Director of the Joint Staff Tennessee National Guard. “He was a great aviator and warrior for the State of See COLE, Page 2-A

City Board to discuss options for filling vacancy By Mary Mount Dunbar Staff Writer
Henderson Board of Mayor and Aldermen met on Thursday, June 14. The board convened for the first time since the May 26 passing of Alderman Tim Faulkner. The board set about determining the steps to take in filling the vacancy. Aldermen determined to meet at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 25, in the classroom of City Hall to discuss available options, candidates and the appointment process. The meeting will be open to the public. The city board faces no timetable in filling the vacancy and therefore plans to approach it with deliberation. The Board of Mayor and Aldermen is not authorized to call a special election and will therefore appoint Faulkner’s successor.
Alderman Johny Farris was appointed to fill Faulkner’s position on the Planning Commission. Also on the agenda was the final reading of the ordinances amending the city’s sick leave, travel, mileage rate and per diem travel policies. During the May meeting, board members voted in favor of changes to these policies, but the final vote couldn’t be held until the following meeting. The new sick leave policies require a doctor’s statement for all requests for sick leave in excess of 16 hours per month. The travel policy amends the per diem “travel day” rate from 50 percent to 75 percent and makes the city policy the same as state and federal policies in that respect. Mileage rates for city personnel traveling in a personal car will be reim-

Enhancement plan moving forward Randy McKinnon of TLM Associates and Ritchie Smith of Ritchie Smith Associates spoke at Thursday night’s City Board meeting about the status of the Downtown Enhancement Project. McKinnon said that after a lengthy environmental study, the project is almost ready to move forward, and the process should begin to move faster. His firm, working in conjunction with Smith’s, have created the plan for the revitalized downtown, which will feature wider sidewalks, more green space, lighting and improved handicapped access. The city and county both received grants for the project, and therefore, the Chester County Courthouse will also receive special attention such as lowered curbs, a park-like renovation to the memorial area, and rebuilt walls around the lawn.

bursed at 27 cents per mile if a city vehicle is available for the trip. The rate will be 47 cents per mile if the representative for the city is traveling in a city vehicle. These changes will go into effect July 1. Annual cost of living adjustments were also approved at two percent for the 2013-2014 budget year. Board members also voted to hire a parttime replacement water plant operator with a starting salary of $12.18 per hour and a step increase to $13 per hour after working 160 hours independently and six months since date of employment. This new hire would work as a fill-in or temporary replacement for the fulltime plant operator in case of required overtime, sick leave or vacation.

at the July meeting. City Recorder Jim Garland told the board that the Tennessee Comptroller’s Office had recommended merging the Industrial Park Fund into the General Fund for the upcoming fiscal year. To comply with the request, board members voted unanimously in favor of the merger which must be completed by June 30. In other business,
Fire Chief Glenn Bryan asked that the board consider checking with roofers to repair three major leaks in the Fire Station roof. He stated that repair work has been unsuccessful, and the building needs to be looked at by a new roofer. The board agreed to his request to allow Mayor King and Chief Bryan to consult with roofers to address the problems.

Well, summer is here! It begins in the Northern Hemisphere at 2:04 a.m. (EDT) on Friday, June 21. It seems like it has been here for a few weeks, but Friday is the official beginning of summer. So we still have those 90s and 100s coming.
Heat Safety Tips According to the NOAA, heat is the top weather-related killer, causing more fatalities than lightning, tornadoes, and hurricanes combined. To practice heat safety, follow these tips: Drink more fluids, regardless of your activity level. Don't wait until you're thirsty to drink. Bring a reusable water bottle with you to maintain hydration. If you're at work, you could also bring a pitcher and glass and fill it every morning. If you're older, be especially careful to drink fluids because the amount of water retained by the body decreases with age. At family events and reunions, bring a cooler of cool drinks. Don't drink liquids with dehydrating caffeine, alcohol, or large amounts of sugar, and avoid very cold drinks. Avoid salt tablets if possible. If your doctor has you on water pills, ask him or her how much you should drink. Cut back on exercising; if you must exercise, drink two to four glasses of cool, nonalcoholic fluids each hour. Avoid strenuous activities during the heat of the day. Keep your body cool. Dress in lightweight light-colored clothing and sun-reflective shirts. Wear loose clothing. Wear widebrimmed hats and sunglasses. Keep a stash of hats on hand for friends and family! According to the CDC, fans may provide comfort but they do not prevent heat-related illnesses when the temperature is in the high 90s. Take a cool shower or bath, or move to an air-conditioned place to cool off. Stay in the shade, especially between 11 a.m. and 3
p.m. To feel cooler, eat cooler. Reduce your protein intake. NEVER leave anyone in a closed, parked vehicle, even with the windows down. Open your house to the breeze after sunset and leave it open until dawn. In the early morning, draw the shades before the temperature starts to rise. Protect yourself from the sun. Sunburn makes it difficult for your body to dissipate heat. As well as a hat and sunglasses, wear sunscreen SPF 15 or higher. The most effective products say "broad spectrum" or "UVA/UVB" on their labels. Stay alert. Be aware of heavy sweating, hot and dry skin, rapid pulse, pale or clammy skin, and cramps in your leg or abdomen muscles. All could be signs of heat disorder. If you are older, it's wise to keep medical information readily available, including phone numbers of health care providers and copies of your prescription and health insurance cards. (From the Old Farmer’s Almanac)

The FEC meeting will be Tuesday, June 25. Come join in the fun at our community center at 5 p.m. Saturday, June 22, for bingo and ice cream. Bring ice cream if you wish and a prize for the bingo.

Tribute to Gary Alan Rhodes, former Postmaster at Jacks Creek: Maudie May Black “Bam” Anderson (1889-1976) knew on Aug. 29 there was a physical problem the
GARY RHODES night her grandson, Gary Alan Rhodes, was born. The reality came later when he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. In 1937 the medical field had little hope for a child with “CP” having a successful future. That group didn’t know the squirming baby boy had other plans. He had love, self determination and help coming from a family circle, a band of school friends and a neighborhood for moral support. He underwent many surgeries to correct spasticity in his legs. He stayed in Crippled Children’s Hospital in Memphis for a time. This is where he learned there was always someone in worse shape; and he never forgot the lesson learned. Did you ever hear him complaining? Gary was full of spirit and energy, always smiling, and ready for fun. Did you know he loved fast cars and drag racing? Ray Hooper was not only a pall bearer but a friend. Ray grew blueberries and Shirley baked pies; they shared with Gary and others. Together Ray and Gary traveled the back roads of Tennessee.

City excited to have Ms. Janice Haithcoat back. They have missed her these past few weeks and are so glad she is feeling better. They had a new volunteer to come and be with them, Kim Williams. Kim is a very talented local artist who offered her talents to the residents. Kim taught the residents how to paint on canvas with acrylic paints. They also discovered that there are some artists living there at Southern Oaks. They were delighted that Kim will be holding art class twice a month. The name of her art studio is “Artitude.” You can see her art on her Facebook page, “TheArtitude.” She is available for lessons or to paint you a portrait. Also back with them was 10-year-old Anna

Ray never saw Gary get mad. Ray has a heartfelt vision of Gary running over those golden bridges in heaven. Run, little buddy, run! Here are 10 memories. There are more but these will do. Will you share some with Barb or me? 1. Billy Neal Lott carried a snake to Gary at work for show and tell. He placed the snake in his car. On his way home the snake started to move and so did the driver! Sandra and Billy shared good times with the Rhodes duet. They were a couple destined to be together. Gary needed her and she needed him. He thought Barbara could do anything from working on carburetors and jumping off dead batteries to driving on the slickest roads imaginable. Gary feared returning to ICU or healthcare. He wanted to be with Barbara. She was his best caregiver. He felt Barbara was his “lifeline.” 2. Roy Morris and Sherrill Ryals used the “pack-saddle” with their arms to make Gary a chair in school high and safe – he was the king of Jacks Creek hill. He was carried to the outdoor toilet in any weather by a friend, but Jimmy Jones was strong, so he was a favorite. There wasn’t any bullying, and no guns were brought to school. Good manners were expected. 3. Jimmy Jones loved to tease playground buddies, but he loved Gary and lovingly carried him in his arms. (Years later Gary would become an email buddy to Jimmy’s son, Dr. Jerry Jones.) Jimmy Jones, Horace Smith and Gary Rhodes were in an accident, so Gary’s time at Memphis State ended. Gary had two broken legs and a concussion. He was in the hospital for several Moylan. Anna sometimes comes and spends time with the Activities Director. The residents just love having Anna around to help with the activities. They welcome Anna to come anytime she wants to. It’s a good place to spend some of your summer school vacation days. Lisa Peters came to play the piano and sing some of the old gospel songs and even added a few of the newer contemporary ones. She also brought her guitar with her this time. Next time she comes she promised to bring her accordion with her to entertain us. They had no idea Lisa was so musically talented. She sang some of her songs that she had written and composed while strumming her guitar. The residents received their weekly manicures.

need that. Life isn’t fair, but it is still a
beautiful world, and Gary continued to show enthusiasm for life. He attained a postmaster position in 1961. He dearly loved his work, and met his wife at the service window. They dated for four years and married in 1967. Gary was blessed and he smiled to let the world know it. He wanted to work for his living. He was voted “Most likely to

Mastering the art of pudding making: It’s easy as long as you put in the effort My husband isn’t really a big fan of most of my attempts to make puddings. I tried and tried to make different variations, but most have turned out either too runny or too lumpy. I have made one that was almost an exact replica of classic chocolate pie filling, but so far that was the only one worth repeating – until now. Since my husband recently had a wisdom tooth removed, he was ordered to eat a liquid or soft diet for several days. Soup made a good meal, but I wanted to make a dessert that would help cheer him up and make his mouth feel better. Unfortunately, what does one do for dessert when prescribed a liquid diet other than eat pudding? I couldn’t think of anything else to make. I could tell that he was overjoyed when I told him I was making pudding. I hope the pain medication would help him forget some of my past attempts – especially the one that was the consistency of chocolate milk … and the lumpy butterscotch … and the lumpy and runny chocolate one. If nothing else, I try to learn from my past mistakes, so I set out to do this one right and prove that I am not a pudding failure. The main problem with pudding is not stirring enough. In my experience, I’ve discovered that you can never stir the pudding enough, and don’t fall for the idea that it will continue to thicken once you take it off the
heat. For a thick, creamy pudding, stir, stir and stir until the mixture reaches a consistency that you’re comfortable serving. It may thicken slightly once it cools, but I try not to count on that. From the time I started adding milk, I whisked the pudding. First, you whisk to remove the lumps, and then, you whisk to prevent it from sticking and curdling. I’ll admit, I cheated a little. I stopped stirring once to get the butter out of the refrigerator and again to pour the chocolate chips into a measuring cup, but I would never let the

pudding boil unstirred for more than a minute – otherwise, you’re back to having lumps. I’ll admit that homemade pudding is hot work. Standing over the boiling mixture for five or more minutes is tedious and scorches your arm if you aren’t careful, but the minute your pudding turns into a silken confection suitable for serving, all the work suddenly pays off. My husband remained skeptical
right up until I sat a bowl in front of him, and then suddenly, his opinion of my pudding cooking changed. He ate his entire bowl and asked for seconds. Then he took leftovers in his lunch. He would never do that with my other pudding attempts. Maybe he was still drugged from the wisdom tooth extraction, but I want to believe that I have finally mastered the art of pudding.
Chocolate Pudding
Ingredients: ½ cup granulated sugar 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 3 tablespoons cornstarch 3 tablespoons brown sugar 4 cups 2 percent reduced fat milk 1 tablespoon butter ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or flavoring Directions: Combine first five ingredients in a large saucepan. Gradually
add milk, whisking to remove lumps. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Add butter once mixture boils. Stir constantly for at least five minutes until mixture begins to thicken and coats whisk. Add chocolate chips and stir until melted. Pudding mixture should be thick and begin to hold pattern from whisk. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract or flavoring. Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent “skin” from forming.

“Picture Show Discontinued” The picture show at the Chester County High School will be discontinued for three months as was agreed upon by the Parent-Teachers’ Association here Tuesday afternoon. This is due to the heavy operating expense during the summer. “Improvements At Reid’s Grocery” Reid’s Grocery has recently added new improvements which are very modernistic. The shelving is something altogether different from what we usually see – it has been arranged in M-shape and is very attractive within itself. A modernistic entrance has been made from the grocery to the hardware department. We are very glad to know that new improvements have been made at Reid’s and ask that you read the ad in this paper from Reid’s, then pay them a visit soon.

“Street Resurfacing Underway; Jackson Firm Has Contract” Many of Henderson’s streets are being resurfaced by Bowyer and Johnson Construction Company of Jackson. Work was started about four weeks ago and should be finished within another week. City Engineer Russell Orr said this week that only those streets that are double surface treated are getting a reseal cover. Streets which are maintained by the State of Tennessee (Main, White and Church – Highways 100, 45 and 45A) are not being resurfaced [...]. The contract for resurfacing the streets amounted to approximately $30,000. Mr. Orr said the damage to the streets was caused by the sub-zero weather combined with insufficient drainage. “Births” Mr. and Mrs. Coffman Vernon [...] are the parents of a daughter, Linda, who was born June 8 at Jackson General Hospital. They have two sons, Randy and Jim. The grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Hopper of Henderson and Mrs. Arthur Cook of Friendship.
JC came around 1963. A good friend, J.H. Hopkins offered to drive Gary in the snow so he could spend some time with Barb on a Saturday night. Gary turned down the offer because it was a deep snow of 12-15 inches. J.H. was the brother of Emma Ross. No one could out wash or out shine cars like J.H. Hopkins could. Chrome would shine. White wall tires were pure white snow. Not one streak on the windows. He used Comet and strong hands to earn extra money. Gary loved him and so did Patsy Nobles Jones. Heaven’s gain I declare. One is shining those streets of gold, and the other is walking on them. 6. Lynn Goodwin was called for help. A snake had come out of the end of the hearth and was stuck on a sticky pad. Lynn took charge. Gary remained cool, calm and collected. Another time a long snake settled under Gary’s wheelchair. This time Ray Hooper was called to the rescue. Gary was not upset, but the snake turned chicken and moved to a corner trying to escape – but Ray took charge. 7. Linda Ruth Swafford rode Chief to the post office. Gary told her to bring him in for a visit at the window – Linda did! Chief stuck his head through the window like he was Gary’s own personal “pony express.” Gary petted Chief after he had stretched his neck through the service window. Linda and Chief departed. I don’t know who was more relieved, Pete or Clyde Patterson. 8. Rocky Hopper, Bubba Smith and Gerald Russom were good handy neighbors. They were fast to arrive. Nearby were Tracey and Lori Pusser. Lori praised Gary and Barbara for packing both cars full of silly teens. They were leaders for the youth group at Jacks Creek Methodist Church. 9. Lynn and Sandra Mitchell Goodwin shared fresh garden veggies with Gary and Barbara. They dined out on Saturday nights. Gary loved drive-in movies. You must ask Sandra or Barb about the secret trunk door. I don’t think the Chat and Chew can tell secrets anymore, but those stock car races were loud at Garner Town. Good memories and fun times went together.
10. Gary couldn’t get off work, so Robbie Rhodes carried Barbara to the hospital. Danny and Tonette Grooms went with Gary to the hospital when Barbara went into labor. Jason Alan Rhodes was born at 9:02 that night. Also, here’s another labor story to share. Sandra and Billy Lott and Barbara and Gary were playing Rook cards. Sandra went into labor, but continued playing cards. She finally decided to go to the hospital. Later little Shane Lott went to his first drive-in movie at the age of two weeks! What does it take to have a “full house?” [For the complete tribute to Gary Rhodes go to our website, www.cestercountyindependent.com.] No disrespect is intended when one person is singled out with a tribute. Can’t we all hold a tribute in our hearts for family members or special friends? Gary has been a well rounded and well learned individual who has served our community faithfully as postmaster for over 30 years. Usually the last paragraph of Jacks Creek News is written to pay respect for those who have gone to the other world. I like to end my column with a quote to prayerfully lift those who are hurt. Along with names of the deceased are their birth and death dates. I didn’t write last week, thus I am expressing sympathy by listing loved ones names for the past two weeks. Loved ones are Demova Wright Hutcherson (8-9-33 to 611-13); Lee Gertson (731-45 to 6-11-13); Richard England Sr. (11-1-33 to 6-10-13); John Arnold (11-30-70 to 6-9-13); Ruby Sue Hopper Courdle (11-732 to 6-10-13); Murrell James (12-16-41 to 6-913); John Crews (12-2269 to 6-8-13); Lorine Sheffield Cheshier (8-126 to 6-7-13); Juanita Pauline Lynch Naylor ( 1-2-22 to 6-84-13); Eva Mae Jones (9-20-22 to 64-13); Syble Bain Holder (11-1-34 to 6-213); and Gary Rhodes (8-29-37 to 6-2-13). As long as a person’s name is spoken or written that person is not forgotten. We love, we lose, and we cherish loved ones for a lifetime. Then we meet again some day because our Father’s promises soften our sorrows and give us renewed faith and new strength. Gary emailed this quote to me several years ago.t It lifted my spirit. I hope it will lift yours. “There is music in the other world.”
“Did You Know…” “… the beautiful oak trees on the terraces west of Freed-Hardeman University’s Old Main building were transplanted as mature trees and are now well over 100 years old? Each tree was set inside a little brick moat.”

Jacks Creek Club honors its scholarship winners The Jacks Creek Community Club recently honored their scholarship winners and their families, at their monthly meeting on Thursday, June 13 at the Christ Community Church in Jacks Creek. Each winner spoke briefly at the dinner and thanked the club for their award. Katelyn Wooley, daughter of Mark and Amy Wooley, was the senior to receive the award of $750 to be used toward her college education. She plans on attending the University of Memphis in the fall, to major in communications and broadcasting. Braelyn Ellis, daughter of Jeremy and Misti Ellis and Anna Hammons, daughter of Anthony Hammons and Amy Washburn, were the winners from Jacks Creek Elementary. They were both valedictorian of their third grade classes. Each received a $50 cash award for their achievement. These scholarships are funded from money that the Jacks Creek Community Club earned from pie sales from the annual Barbeque Festival. Each year the club makes thousands of pies to sell to fund the club for scholarships and donations such as these.

Gary was an inaugural member of the club and did much work in improving the operation of the club. A secondary memorial gift of $20 was also given anonymously for Gary. Sixty-one people enjoyed the add-a-dish buffet and fellowship. Don Rouse led the group in the pledge to the flag.

Educators need to develop mentoring relationships By JC Bowman Executive Director of Professional Educators of Tennessee
Educators must exercise a higher duty of care than most professionals. They face exposure to liability much greater than does the average citizen. Nearly every day, teachers must deal with assorted laws related to issues such as school safety, child abuse, student discipline, negligence, defamation, student records and copyright infringement. And still they must teach, in an era where school safety has taken on added importance. Any examination of why educators choose teaching reveals a variety of purposes. Making a difference in our society, as well as in the lives of children, are two most frequently cited reasons for working in public education. I know from my own experience that one of the loneliest feelings in the world is that of being a new teacher. First year teachers are not the only people with this experience; this also includes teachers transitioning into a new school. In a world where seemingly all knowledge is found on the Internet, there is still some wisdom that can only be gained through experience. A school-based mentor can provide that experience. Research shows that employees in any field who have mentors report higher salaries, more frequent promotions, higher job satisfaction, stronger commitment to their organization and are less likely to want to leave their jobs than those without mentors. Peer relationships are often overlooked but can frequently be more beneficial to both the mentor and the mentee. That is why it is important that we

develop mentor relationships in education. We encourage our members to mentor “new” teachers, and be that colleague that others can trust. Seek to be that “go to” person with whom colleagues can ask questions, vent, and learn about the school culture. Encourage teachers that no matter how embarrassed they are about a matter, you are someone they can ask. Be that colleague in your school and district others can go to for accountability and encouragement without being judged. If one teacher decides to mentor another, practical guidelines should be determined before beginning. We suggest having regularly scheduled meetings. Each conversation should be somewhat planned, but there should be no fear of flexibility. A mentor should keep in mind the best mentor relationships are when both the mentor and mentee benefit by that relationship. Finally, avoiding gossip is imperative. There is enough gossip in school by teachers, parents and staff. Unfortunately, there are those who enjoy keeping the most rascally reports active. A gossiper should always remember that, sooner or later, he or she may fall victim to someone else’s gossip. Educational mentors should also remember is that “relationships require cultivation, and cultivation takes time.” Participants must make an investment in order to receive the benefit that mentoring relationships can provide. No investment yields no return. Mentoring relationships will require your time, energy and commitment but they can be mutually advantageous as well.

Freeing Tennessee from federal education mandates Over the last decade, the U.S. Department of Education has become so congested with federal mandates that it has become, in effect, a national school board. This past week I proposed with my Senate Republican colleagues a plan that would restore responsibility for education to states, and give more freedom to parents and teachers. The congestion of mandates we’re trying to undo is caused by three things: No Child Left Behind, Race to the Top, and the Obama administration’s use of waivers. If you remember the childhood game “Mother, May I?,” then you’ll have a pretty good sense of how the process works – Tennessee and other states must come to Washington to get approval for their plans. No Child Left Behind imposed federal standards for what children had to know in reading and math, and for whether schools and teachers were succeeding or failing. Race to the Top is a competitive grant program, but the U.S. sec-
retary of education has used it to essentially mandate things like Common Core curriculum and four “turnaround models” for failing schools. Congress’s failure to fix the problems with No Child Left Behind and restrain Race to the Top has allowed the Obama administration to turn its waiver authority – which is supposed to free up states – into a way to tell states what to do. Senate Democrats have offered a 1,150-page plan that would not only maintain these mandates, but expand them, by creating more than 25 new programs and 150 new reporting requirements for states and local school districts. In just 220 pages, our Republican plan would help children in public schools learn what they need to know by getting decision making out of Washington. We call it “Every Child Ready for College or Career.” Though Democrats with the majority on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee – of which I am the lead Republican – voted to move forward with their plan, we will con-

tinue to push our proposal. Our plan emphasizes state and local decision-making. It takes Washington out of the business of deciding whether local schools are succeeding or failing, rejects federal mandates that effectively create a national school board and prohibits the secretary of education
from prescribing standards. It also makes it easier for states to offer low-income parents more choice in finding the right public school for their children. In short, this plan places responsibility for helping our children learn squarely where it ought to be – on states and communities.

St. Jude Benefit at Brenda’s Kitchen June 22
A tradition in Henderson came to a close May 6 when the final water aerobics class met at FreedHardeman University. It brought to close different types of swim classes for the community which had continued since 1966. The swimming pool at Bader Gym is now closed due to the impending demolition of the building by the university to make way for a campus beautification project. The water aerobics class, taught by Sylvia Harris, had met three days a week. Those attending the commemoration (pictured below) met at the home of Jackie Lott on White Avenue. The water aerobics class began in 2007, but Harris began a community swim program in 1966, teaching children and adult women in the summer through 1999. Harris estimates she taught the art of swimming to approximately 1,100 persons during those 33 years, with the students coming not only from Chester County but surrounding counties as well. After Harris’ retirement, Mary Ann Guinn, Sheila Venable, Kathy Maples and others continued the summer program. A boys’ program began in 1967 by Hoyt Kirk through 1984, followed in instruction by Tony Kirk, Charles Corley, and Everett McAnally. FHU students took swim classes during the school year. Those attending the water aerobics class and many others have benefitted from faithful exercise, improved physical fitness,

Constructors for Christ Volunteer group assisting with construction of Grace Baptist A Magic Valley church hopes to complete construction of its new sanctuary by late September, no later than early October. On M o n d ay mor ning, about 55 laborers were scurrying about the site on Southview Road off Hwy 22 just a few feet north of the Chester County line with Madison County with the normal sounds of saws, hammers and other tools. However, this is not your normal construction site. The laborers range from retirees to young adolescents. And no one is on the clock, nor are they on the payroll. They are all volunteers from an organization called Constructors for Christ, and they are assisting with construction of the new Grace Baptist Church. Constructors for Christ was started by the Southern Baptist
Convention 38 years ago, and most of their workers come from Southern Baptist Churches. However, the volunteers come from many diff e r e n t denominations. R a y Dilbeck, a contractor from Dalton, Ga., is one of the leaders of the current effort. Constructors for Christ do one project each year, beginning around Father’s Day week. They work for five weeks, with close to 300 families involved. This week there are 54 on the Grace Baptist team which about average for most weeks. Most work for a week then move on while another crew comes in the next week. Dilbeck and three others usually stay for the entire five weeks to supervise the work. The volunteers are all ages, entire families in most cases.
Entire families, including children, are involved with Constructors for Christ.

Ray Dilbeck of Dalton, Ga., directs workers who are currently assisting with construction of the new Grace Baptist Church on Southview Road. The workers are all volunteers with Constructors for Christ. Each pays their own expenses, transportation, meals and accommodations. There is no expense to the church. Some are retirees, but others just use their vacation time, and many have no prior construction experience. According to Dilbeck, about 10 years ago, Constructors for Christ also assisted with construction of Middlefork Baptist Church near Luray. Constructors for Christ is based in Ft. Ogelthorpe, Ga., It began in 1976, started by Al Davis who is now the director of missions for the organization. Through the years Constructors for Christ has built churches in at least 14 states. Grace Baptist is a just a bit larger than most of the churches they help build. According to Claude Bailey, chairman of the building commit-
tee of Grace Baptist, construction began in January by Ken B r a s f i e l d Construction, and they had to meet the Father’s Day deadline in order to use the assistance of Constructors for Christ. Bailey expects Constructors for Christ will have the better part of the inside finished when they leave next month. According to Bailey, the Lord caused it all to fall into place. “This is a huge, huge savings for the church,” Bailey said. “It costs nothing for their time. We’re just really excited to have them come in here. Before they would commit to come in here there were a lot of things you have to have completed. A lot had to fall into place. For a while we were doubtful, but it all fell into place and here we are.”
Come One, Come all! Everywhere Fun Fair VBS will be held at First United Methodist VBS from 9 a.m. to noon on Monday, June 24 through Thursday, June 27. Children starting kindergarten through sixth grade can attend and enjoy this Vacation Bible School. For more information, call 989-2732.

Can gratitude change your life? Three measurable benefits of being thankful Filmmaker Doug Vermeeren likes to quote author Robert M. Pirsig when introducing the idea of positive psychology: “The truth knocks on the door and you say, ‘Go away, I'm looking for the truth,’ and so it goes away. Puzzling.” Positive psychology entails a call for science and psychological practice to be as concerned with strength as with weakness; as interested in building the best things in life as in repairing the worst; and as concerned with making the lives of normal people fulfilling as with healing pathology, Vermeeren says. “People can become suspicious when you tell them that they can change their lives with a simple shift in perspective; it can seem too good to be true because it’s an uncomplicated answer to many of life’s challenges. But I’m just one of many who have
experienced a measurable life change with gratitude,” says Vermeeren, creator of the new film, “The G r a t i t u d e E x p e r i m e n t , ” (www.thegratitudeexperiment.com), which demonstrates through individual stories the powerful effects of gratitude on people’s lives. “I feel that everyone deserves that opportunity.” He describes three areas in life that can be positively transformed with the power of gratitude: • Attitude: Gratitude can help us overcome any problem or hardship. It gives us perspective on what’s important, what we truly value and what we have right in front of us. In our small corner of this vast universe, we find the most miraculous thing of all: life. No matter what situation we are in or worries we face,
we can always be grateful that we are alive on this beautiful planet. There is a world of possibilities open to whatever attitude we bring to it. Today we can appreciate this opportunity, giving thanks for everything we have and sharing with one another what we are grateful for. • Health: The positive thinking triggered by our gratitude has proven health benefits, including strengthening the immune system, reducing stress and depression, reducing risk of cardiovascular disease, better coping skills during hardship and overall increased sense of well-being, according to the Mayo Clinic. “This isn’t empty, New Age-y fluff,” says Vermeeren, a successful business consultant. “This is testable criteria and measurable health benefits.” • Relationships:
One of the most defining characteristics of the human race is our social nature. We are hardwired to work, communicate and interact with each other. Most of us understand the value of being there for each other, especially during hard times. However, research from the University of California-Santa Barbara shows that it’s also crucial to be proactively positive during normal or good times, as well. Positive reinforcement during good times reinforces bonds and assures a friend, family member or spouse that you’ll be there during hard times. A neutral response to good news from a spouse, for example, implies apathy and that the responder is less involved in the other’s life. “Embrace the good stuff not only in your life, but also in the lives of others,” Vermeeren says.

UT Extension questions and answers: Time to start checking for ticks By J. Brian Signaigo Chester County Extension Agent
If you’ve been outdoors much lately, you may have encountered ticks – I know I have! Knowing that these little creatures are potentially harmful to humans, I started looking for some information that I could pass on. Here ‘tis! Researchers with the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture say there are steps you can take to minimize the risk of tick bites and tickborne infections. Graham Hickling, director of the UT Center for Wildlife Health, says if you’re heading outdoors and concerned about ticks, use insect repellant containing 20 to 30 percent DEET. Follow package instructions and do not apply under clothing or to children under two months of age. If working regularly in the field, consider also applying permethrin to clothing. Permethrin will last through several washes, but must not be applied to skin — again, be sure to follow package instructions. Wear light-colored clothing and tuck long pants into your socks to help keep ticks off
of your skin. Wear close-toed shoes or, even better, boots sprayed with permethrin. Your children can be at particular risk. While ticks are unlikely to be encountered in open fields, children chasing balls or cutting through scrub or woods are entering high-risk tick areas. Your best protection against a tick-borne infection, Hickling says, is a careful tick check. “Check immediately after being outside and again in the evening while you are undressing. Do thorough checks of your children and pets. If you find an attached tick, simply use tweezers to remove them. Definitely avoid folk remedies such as hot matches, nail polish remover, petroleum jelly or other substances — these will not work if the tick is firmly attached. Grasp the tick mouthparts as close to the skin as possible and pull the tick straight out using steady pressure.” Wash the area with soap and water, then dry and apply a topical antiseptic. Mark the spot where the tick was removed and record the date on your calendar. Watch dur-
ing the next two weeks for signs of illness (fever, headache or spreading rash). Contact your physician if you feel you may be developing early symptoms of a tick-borne illness. Consider keeping ticks that were firmly attached for a week or so, to be able to show to your doctor in the event that you start to become ill. Place the tick in rubbing alcohol or in the freezer. But keep in mind that most tick bites in Tennessee will be harmless. So be sure to get outside and enjoy our state’s abundant natural beauty while keeping these sensible precautions in mind.

She's got a great foundation that should put her in a position to continue to improve in her time here, and being able to play in a warmer climate will speed up that process. Alex fit right in with the other girls on the team when she visited campus and I am excited to see what her future holds at Freed-Hardeman.” Hodgkinson is the daughter of Troy and Sharon Hodgkinson.

He prepped at Arlington Christian School. “Nolan is a strong, electric
arm that has the ability to pitch from different arm angles that will give hitters fits,” said FHU head coach Jonathan Estes. “We feel that he has the ability to make some great strides in the fall and become a big piece of our pitching situation over the next three years.” Smith is a 5-foot-9 left-handed pitcher and will also enter FHU as a sophomore after playing at Crowder Community College in Neosho, Mo., pitching for the program that was ranked No. 1
in the nation in the NJCAA. He will play in the summer in the prestigious MINK Summer Collegiate League for the Clarinda A's. “Ryan is a crafty left-handed arm that has a mature arsenal of pitches that translates very well to our pitching plan,” Estes said. “His junior college team was stacked with big-time pitchers that limited his innings this year, but he is ready to take the next step in his development.”

Lady Lions sign Florence's Emily Towery
The Freed-Hardeman Lady Lion basketball team continued to add to its incoming recruiting class with the recent signing of Emily Towery of Florence, Ala.
The Freed-Hardeman Lady Lion basketball team continued to add to its incoming recruiting class with the recent signing of Emily Towery of Florence, Ala. Towery, a 5-foot-10 forward, averaged 10.5 points and 8.5 rebounds per game in her senior year at Florence High School after posting 12.5 points and 7.6 rebounds as a junior. She was a second-team All-Area selection in Class 4A-6A following her senior year performance which saw her shift to the power forward position from her more natural position of small forward. "Emily always plays in 'attack mode', both offensively and defensively. She is a very aggressive and versatile defender who has the ability to guard the perimeter player or the post," said FHU head coach Dale Neal. "She is very drive-oriented on offense and will definitely take it to the rim. Her size and skill set gives us some unique options for our line-ups and some different looks offensively." She joins Morgan Willoughby (Savannah/Hardin Co.), Taleeah Cross (South Fulton/South Fulton), Andrea Moffitt (Lexington/Lexington HS) and Lexi Ingram (Bloomington, Ind./Bloomington South) in FHU's incoming recruiting class.

FHU’s Horizons to celebrate 33 years More than 800 campers are expected to attend Horizons July 7-12 on Freed-Hardeman University’s campus. In honor of its 33rd year as a Christian leadership camp, the theme of Horizons is “33. My Life. His Business.” Classes, group discussions and worship services will focus on the life of Jesus and cause campers to examine their own spiritual lives. Campers will also experience dorm life, play sports and participate in service projects
throughout the week. Campers look forward to Horizons all year long. “Spending a week with hundreds of other Christian teenagers gives me hope,” said Katie Renfroe, a high school senior from Jackson. “ H o r i z o n s reignites the fire within me and reminds me who my life is all about.” Horizons is directed by Doug Burleson and Kirk Brothers. For more information, visit www.fhu.edu/horizons.
FHU Theatre to debut “The Eccentrics” The Freed-Hardeman University Theatre Department will present “The Eccentrics,” a comedy written and directed by FHU’s Joshua Decker, June 2022 at 7 p.m. in the Black Box Theatre. Admission to the production is free. “The Eccentrics” is the story of Tim, a young man who decides to become a vigilante despite his lack of superpowers, skills or money. His pursuit of heroism proves to be more difficult than it seems in comic books or movies.
As technical director for FHU theatre at FHU, Decker usually works primarily with set design, lighting and sound. With this production, however, he is director and playwright. He wrote the play to tie in with the QUEST theme, “ComiConquest.” “I am a huge comic book fan and I wanted to tell a story about someone who takes his fandom to the next level—the level we all want to take it to but are too afraid to do anything about,” he said. In addition, he said, he wanted to offer some theatre over
the summer to give the faculty and staff something fun to experience when the students are gone. Audiences can expect a “fastpaced, somewhat witty production that explores the eccentric minds of superhero fans,” Decker said. “In addition,” he said, “there’s a pretty solid message within the text.” Although this is his first play to write, he would gladly do it again if the opportunity arrived. “Especially,” he said, “if could work with such great talent again.”
High school students to be challenged at FHU’s QUEST In its third year at FreedHardeman University, QUEST camp promises a week of creativity, learning and fun for high school students. The academic summer camp, which challenges campers to “Question. Understand. Explore. Solve. Think,” will be held June 16-21 on FHU’s campus. “Comi-Conquest” is this year’s theme for QUEST’s two disciplines: science and fine arts. Science QUEST campers can expect to decipher codes, par-
ticipate in adventure hikes and perform laboratory experiments. Students involved in the art program will make a “living” comic book throughout the week; projects include designing storyboards, writing original music and creating illustrations through photography. Camp directors Dr. Barbara England and Dr. LeAnn SelfDavis will lead a team of FHU faculty members and students equipped to work alongside QUEST campers. The directors assure that “students who par-
ticipate in QUEST will leave FHU with a greater appreciation for their discipline and valuable information about how to purse these interests once they enter college.” Ben Morris, of Henderson, has attended every QUEST and plans to return for a third year. “At QUEST, I’ve made new friends who have the same interests I do,” said Morris. When asked his favorite past QUEST activity, Morris stated, “Definitely programming robots.”
Dads should teach children responsible money management As a father of five teenagers, it feels like all I do every day is teach my kids lessons. These lessons span a wide range of topics – from “how to treat others,” to “being a team player,” to “exude confidence not cockiness.” It has taken me years to determine the most important lessons pertaining to personal money management, which is one of the most important skills they need to learn. With all the issues facing teenagers today, why do I say this? Three reasons: 1. Schools teach them absolutely nothing about personal money management. 2. The example set by our society is to spend more than they make (in other words, debt is good). 3. It is one of the most important skills they need to take into adulthood. It is imperative to set the right example for your children when it comes to money management. In my book, “Why Didn’t They Teach Me This in School? 99 Personal Money Management Principles to Live By” ( w w w. w h y d i d n t t h e y t e a ch m e t h i s i n school.com), I discuss
these lessons in a simple, memorable manner. Here are what I consider every dad’s three “must teach” principles: • Always live below your means. If you want to manage your money successfully, this is one of the most important principles to follow. And, this is where most Americans have gone, and will continue to go, wrong. People want to have everything … now. They just can’t wait until they can afford it. But you must wait until you can afford something before you buy it. If you make a habit of purchasing things you can’t afford, you will quickly begin a downward spiral that will continue until you go bankrupt. Plus, you’ll enjoy your purchase all the more. If you always live below your means, you will always have extra money to save and invest. Over the years, your money will grow and you will find yourself with significant financial security. Keep in mind that living below your means doesn’t mean living badly. It means you prioritize your spending
and focus on what is most important to you. It means “living smartly.” • Develop a written budget and evaluate it every single month. People think this is painful but it’s actually quite simple. And it must be done. You can’t manage something you’re not tracking. And the concept is clear – more money must come in every month than goes out! I have a simple budgeting process that takes a half-hour every month and allows for the three most important parts to be completed: developing, tracking and analyzing. The analysis part is so important. Where did you spend too much? Where didn’t you spend as much? What else do you need to include next month? What is in your emergency fund? What are your financial goals for the next 12 months? And remember, you will always have tradeoffs! • Save and invest 50 percent of every salary increase. This is an easy principle that requires a little discipline. Think about it; you were living on your old salary before you got a raise.
You can have the best of both worlds. You’re still going to live better, but why not invest some for your future? Most people don’t do this because they get behind in the first place. They start by spending more money than they make in the first place. You just can’t do that. If you employ this principle, you will be shocked at how well you do financially over time. Ninety-five percent of adults don’t follow these principles because they’ve been told that debt is OK and they’re trying to keep up with the Joneses (who, by the way, are bankrupt)! I’ve told my teenagers (and my nephews who are in their 20’s), if they always follow these three basic principles, they will become extremely adept at personal money management. Take the time to talk with your children about all the issues that confront them. Especially, take the time to discuss the issue of personal money management. From experience, we all know that it is an issue that has caused much pain to our generation.

Teen offers advice for teens In her new book, “How To Be A Teen On The Move,” (www.LenoreLuca.com ), 19-year-old Lenore Luca offers advice for teens – from a teen. “Many teenagers dream of being known as someone on the move and someone who will be remembered for the things they did and said,” says Luca, creator and host of the Internet show “Teen Groove On The Move,” in which she interviews celebrities and compelling fellow adolescents, and she is a sought-after youth motivational speaker. “Unfortunately, so many of us don’t realize that we are already someone making a difference and taking steps toward achieving our dreams.” Her website features testimonials from various teens who were inspired by Luca’s message – and they like hearing advice from someone who understands them; an author their own age. Luca says she wrote her book to spread her
message of empowering youth to follow their dreams. Through stories and activities, Luca shows teens ways to take responsibility for their lives and encourages them to believe that they can achieve their goals. She provides peer-topeer information for teens about making better choices in order to stand out as students and athletes. She guides them to learn how to push past rejection while taking action toward accomplishing what makes them happy on their road to living a better life. Luca says she never stops encouraging her peers to make their time and efforts count, and offers reminders to: • Be Yourself • Be Unique • Be Happy • Follow Your Dreams • No Goal Is Too Small • Embrace Your Weirdness & Awkwardness • Exercise Today • Remember To Do Your Homework • Watch A Good Movie
