County gets better ISO rating Some residents of rural Gibson Co. could save 20% to 30% on their home insurance cost after the county received a much better rating for fire protection capability, officials said last week. County Fire Chief Bryan Cathey said effective Dec. 1, the county ISO rating will improve from 9 to 6 for residents living within 5 miles or less of a county fire station. “I’m excited because we’ll be saving t h e citizens of the county money, a n d that’s great,” Chief Cathey said Chief C a t h e y. “It shows we are improving in saving property and lives with the equipment and the improved rating.” ISO (Insurance Services Office) rates areas for fire protection on a scale of 1 through 10. A rating of 1 is best and is held by less than 45 areas in the U.S. Each city also has an ISO rating. “ISO rates you on fire equipment and training, water availability and dispatching,” said Cathey. “I was delighted with the new rating, because my goal was to go from a 9 to an 8. We were able to get a 6. It was shocking. Not in my wildest dreams did I think we could pull it off.” He said homeowners should save between 20 to 30 percent on their homeowners insurance cost. “ISO will send a letter to the insurance companies,” said Cathey. “It wouldn’t hurt to notify your insurance company.” The improved rating was see page 2

Carroll-Richards Farm honored at Gibson Co. Fair BY WILLIAM G. MCFARLAND Each year the Gibson County Fair and the Tennessee Century Farms honors two Century Farms from Gibson County. They are recognized for “the land, the people, and the legacy.” One of those farms honored was the Carroll-Richards Farm located on Reed Road in Dyer. James and Doris Richards, who recently celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary, currently own the farm. It has been owned by the same family for 129 years. The farm was originally purchased by James’s great grandparents Stephen and Adaline Carroll from Martha Jones on November 5, 1885 for $1,000. It was not deeded and recorded until April 5, 1886. The land was them passed to James’s grandparents James Roby (J. R.) and Mary Carroll January 11,

1888. Documents indicate there was no money exchanged and the farm was “paid for with love and affection.” James’s mother and father James Wheeler and Mallie Richards inherited the farm May 22, 1942. James and Doris after his mother’s death purchased the farm from his siblings June 20, 1997 in order to keep the family farm together. The Carroll-Richards Farm was recorded as a Century Farm January 20, 2009. The Richards home place remains on the farm; each year Christmas trees glow from the empty house where memories of days gone by come to mind each time the house is entered. The hand drawn well is also another reminder of days when water was drawn for washing, for baths, for cooking, see page 2

McCurdy Sod Farm from page 1 established businesses. “What an honor to be picked from such a qualified field. Any small business would benefit from an association with Maleia and this group,” said Bob. The ‘Business After Hours’ event, which was held on election night, hosted approximately 60 people. Bob said many of the candidates

attended. Refreshments of tenderloin and biscuits, fruit and veggies along with homemade ice cream were served. “Attending Business After Hours and other Chamber networking events is a wonderful opportunity to mingle with current professional contacts and establish relationships with newcomers. Remember, people do business with those they know and trust,”

said Kee. “None of our success could be possible without the support of family and our great employees. Even employees of the past have made a difference in our success,” added Bob. McCurdy Sod Farm was also entered into a pool of state entries and submitted to a national review for another award. So far, they have not been notified of the results.

from page 1 the result of a concerted effort by Chief Cathey and others to upgrade firefighting capability in rural Gibson County. “Our ISO improved thanks to hard work from our volunteers and cooperation from 911, the county Water Dept., and Gibson Co. EMS,” said Cathey. “I really appreciate the support Mayor Witherspoon and the County Commission have given believing in my people like they have. Our volunteers work hard. They are great. We got some much needed equipment on our first AFG (Assistance to Firefighters) grant.” “I couldn’t be prouder,” said Mayor Tom Witherspoon about the ISO rating. “This proves once again what we are capable of accomplishing when we put aside politics and pull in the same direction. I give all the praise for this accomplishment not only to Chief Cathey, but to the station chiefs and all the many volunteers that worked together as a unit to make this possible.

“I want to thank the County Commission for their support of our county fire service, and I especially want to thank outgoing County Commissioner Bruce Williams for his leadership as chairman of the Fire Committee over the past four years,” added Witherspoon. “Without his guidance and leadership this accomplishment would not have been possible. As a resident of rural Gibson County, I look forward to experiencing the savings on our homeowners insurance that everyone that lives within five miles of a station can enjoy.” 11 county stations Gibson Co. has 11 rural fire stations manned by about 160 volunteers. In a recent month, volunteers answered 31 fire calls and 53 medical calls. Stations are Spring Hill #1, Moore’s Chapel #2, Brazil #3, Gann #4, Tyson #5, Fruitland #6, Good Luck (China Grove) #7, Medina #8, Rutherford Rescue Support #9, Gibson Co. Emergency Management #10, and Gibson Fire

Dept.#11. Chief Cathey said while most residents are within 5 miles of a fire station, an area in the center of the county north of Trenton, along Hwy 54 and near Yorkville is not within the 5-mile range. Cities in the county also received ISO ratings. Cathey was unsure of all updates but believed Medina improved to a 3 rating, the same as Jackson. He believed Gibson, Bradford and Dyer improved to 4, while Milan, Humboldt, Rutherford and Kenton were at 5. He was unsure of Trenton’s rating.

Insight & Opinion

Washington needs Sarah Polk

Clayburn Peeples reports: I was driving from Trenton to Humboldt the other day, and I noticed that about half the drivers I encountered were doing the same thing, talking on the telephone. The advent, and widespread use, of cell telephones has changed the way we live, and

work, in ways we are only beginning to understand. It is already almost impossible to imagine a world without mobile telephones, but there was a time, of course, when there were no phones at all. As a matter of fact, this week marks the anniversary

of the very first telephone conversation ever held in Tennessee. It was on September 1, 1877, that the telecommunications age began in our state, and the honor of being the first person in the state to speak over a telephone line was

given to Sarah Childress Polk, the widow of Pres. James K Polk. Polk, of course, was the 11th President of the United States, and he died three months after leaving the White House in 1849. He and his wife had built a fine house in Nashville upon their return to the city, and Mrs. Polk continued to live there for 42 years after his death, maintaining the house as a shrine to her late husband. Over that time she became one of the most respected women in the nation, and by 1877 was the undisputed grand doyenne of Tennessee. It was because of this that she was chosen for that historic telephone call. Her husband, of course, had had a spectacular career, and she had been instrumental to his success. While she was not a beautiful woman in the classic sense, she was very striking and was known for her impeccable fashion sense and perfect social skills. She was also cultured and college educated, highly unusual for a woman in her era, and she

Dyer family loses home, belongings in fire BY LORI CATHEY Early Friday morning on August 15, Missy and Reuben Walker and their three children escaped their burning house as the fire spread from their back deck into the living room and attic. Three of the five family pets were able to get out of the home safely. The Walker family was sleeping around 5:30 a.m. early Friday when Missyís son Hunter was on the couch and heard something popping. When he opened his eyes he saw flames and

smoke on the back deck, the living room French doors and the ceiling. He also felt heat on his face. He started screaming for everyone to get out of the house, that the house was on fire as it filled with smoke and flames. The Dyer Fire Department was dispatched to the house fire at 153 New Hope Street in Dyer. Upon arrival, they found flames coming from the back of the house. There was thick heavy smoke coming from all of the eves and the roof of the house. All the glass windows in the

house and front door were already black from the smoke and heat. Firefighters Craig Blackburn, Brandon Rudd and Captain Bryan Cathey went around the back of the house and quickly attacked the fire. The fire was brought under control in about 20 minutes. Missy Walker said she has always had a plan with the kids on what to do in case the house caught on fire. Each one of them did exactly what they were supposed to do. It is believed the fire started on the back deck. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Though it’s hard to accept what’s happened, Missy Walker said she is thankful that her family is alive today. ìIf Hunter had not moved back home last week I donít think we would be alive today,î said Walker. Walker was diagnosed with cancer three months ago and just returned home from the hospital to be with her family. She believes that everything happens for a reason and she is determined to remain optimistic and stay positive. The Walker family had no rental insurance and the house was declared a total loss. The kids sizes are boyís pants size 7 and shirt size small 6-7 and 28-32 pants and small adult shirt. Missy needs medium adult shirts and size 7 pants. Reuben needs 32-24 pants and large

had superb organizational skills as well. She used all these assets to further her husband’s political career. While Polk was president, she presided over an exhausting social schedule of receptions and dinners by which she won the admiration and respect of politicians of all political persuasions. She felt a responsibility to see that every affair at the White House was elegant and dignified. She believed that dressing well was important to convey to the public the importance of the office of presidency, and she did, frequently donning satin and silk gowns of deep claret and navy blue, complimented by fancy silk turbans and elegant shawls and capes. In spite of her stunningly regal bearing, however, she was completely approachable. She believed Americans wanted a first lady who looked like a queen, but who acted just like them. But her fashion sense wasn’t her only asset. She was also Polk’s main political adviser and a shrewd student of politics as well. A devout Presbyterian, she refused to attend horse races or the theater, and she did not allow drinking, dancing or card games at White House parties. No music was allowed to be played on Sunday. But even though her parties were sedate and dignified affairs, people loved them, in part because she was such a lively conversationalist. Everybody respected and admired her moral code and commitment to religious principles, and many said she was more popular than her husband. Because Polk was fairly short, (5’8”) she fretted over the fact that he sometimes wasn’t noticed when he came into a crowded room, so she ordered the White House band to play a popular song of the day entitled, “Wreaths for the Chieftain”

whenever he entered the room. Ever since then, “Hail to the Chief” has been played to announce an American president’s arrival. At the end of Polk’s first term he and Sarah embarked on a circuitous trip back to Nashville where they received public adulation at every stop along the way. By the time they finally got home, Polk was exhausted and gravely ill. Three months later he died, allegedly of cholera. His last words were, “I love you Sarah. For all eternity, I love you!” Following that, she donned widow’s weeds and wore black the rest of her life, rarely leaving Polk Place except to attend church. She had Polk’s body buried in her front yard, and she continued to receive visitors, always treating them graciously, and soon it became a tradition for dignitaries, both local and national, to pay their respects to her and visit Polk’s grave. The Tennessee Legislature regularly made a pilgrimage to her home on New Year’s Day. She was visited there by two American presidents and all sorts of other dignitaries as well. During the Civil War her home was considered neutral ground, and she received both Union and Confederate generals as guests during that time. One of her last wartime visitors was Gen. William T. Sherman, who stopped in on his way to Atlanta. When people visited, she was always a gracious hostess, personally giving them tours of the house and the grounds, which in summer bloomed with extensive flowerbeds. She won favor in Washington, and in Tennessee, by befriending everyone, political friends and foes alike, combining political intelligence with social grace. Would that she were in Washington today.

Sunday School for Shut-Ins By Mary King When you’re ready please read Luke 2:15. What a sight to see! In Luke 2:11, the angel had said ‘city of David.’ Here, we see that the shepherds knew that this was Bethlehem. Who do you think told the angel, there are those who are assigned to sit at the feet of Jesus and listen to Hid word. (Luke 10:38-42). The more intimate we are with Scripture, the more intimate we are with the Lord. The angel had told them of this thing that had happened in the city of David. The shepherd knew that the Lord has revealed this birth to them. These were chosen shepherd. No one else before Mary, Joseph, Elisabeth and Zacharies had heard a word from the Lord nor His angel in over 400 years. Yet, when these shepherds heard this news, they knew Scripture enough to know when the Lord had spoken and sent them a message by a messenger. Today, the same is true. The way for us to know the word of the Lord is to be intimate

with the Word of God to be guided by the word of the Lord through His holy spirit (John 14:16 – 17; 16:33). ‘..a lamp unto my feet..’ (Psalm 119:105). ‘And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger’ Luke 2:16(NKJV). When you go to Christ Jesus, do we go with haste? Do we ask God to hurry and come to us? ‘I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord’ Psalms 122:1(KJV). The Lord’s day isn’t just another day to the week (Hebrew 10:25). May we enter His courts with praise. (Psalm 100:4). The shepherds had heard the word from the angel of the Lord (Luke 2:9, 12) and they rushed to find the One who was in a manger. They found Mary and Joseph and the Christ Child lying in a manger. What causes you to rush? Whose pain causes you pain? Who will you suffer for? Now to whom are you assigned?

We were blessed by our Bro. Jeff bringing two amazing sermons for our instruction and encouragement, with a side of inspirational music. Such is the manner of worship in our country church house on Sundays. Tim Griggs had a birthday so we sang to him after he paid his double nickel. Janice and Tina played a beautiful medley ‘Calvary’ during quiet time. Call to worship was ‘Majesty.’ Bro. Jeff talked to the Preahcer’sPalsaboutSalvation. It is never too soon to have them hear and understand when they can comprehend that great provision that God gave us for all eternity. They listen and take in more that we think during their special time. Deitra sang the great Dottie Rambo song ‘He Looked Beyond My Faults and Saw My Needs’ for our special. Bro. Jeff’s message was from Rev. 2:1-7 and 2 Tim 2:1-2. Jesus Christ was completely dedicated to the Church. Are we wholeheartedly devoted to the work of the Church, the community of Faith? His night message was ‘The Doctrine of Help From God.’ His text was the entire chapter of Psalms 121 with references from nine other scriptures mostly from Hebrews and Psalms and Exodus. Great examples of the Almighty’s provision for His children. Our attendance was down some. We had several out of town. Curt and Catelyn

were in Knoxville for the weekend. Roger and Beth were in Louisville to help Zach get settled in his new apartment. Kenneth and Wanda, along with Dan and Jane Hardin had a weekend trip to St Louis. Ron and Dot did not leave town but had a large gathering of children and grandchildren to enjoy for a few days, especially to welcome their first great grandchild from El Paso, Texas. There will be a wedding tea honoring Trice Patterson and fiance’ Lauren Bryant held in the fellowship hall next Sunday, Sept. 7 from 2 to 3:30. All are invited. The second annual ‘Night of Hope’ to benefit Christian Women’s Job Corp will be Tuesday Sept 9 at White Hall Baptist Church beginning at 6 p.m. There will be a salad supper served at 6:30 which is free, you may call 885-3305 to let us know for attendance. A fashion show of clothing from ‘Twice Blessed,’ the thrift store that helps support CWJC, a program and of course, the silent auction starts at 6 p.m. The Fincher family will be at Bethpage to bring Gospel music on Sunday, Sept 14th for the evening service. A love offering will be taken and a ‘Finger Food’ fellowship will follow. Promise for the week: And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Phil 4:19.

New Hope News By Shirley Hooper Wednesday evening our minster, Bro. Corey Meggs spoke on ‘How God works through is servants.’ We discussed different functions of serving. Looking at Moses, Abraham, Peter and Jonah where we found that God gave second chances. He reveals what He wants us to do and gives His Holy Spirit as our helper. We are told to go with God, which we cannot do staying where we are. We looked at God’s word, our relationship, the invitation, God speaking, the crisis of belief and how to adjust, obey and experience God. Sunday morning Bro. Terry Owens blessed us as he sang ‘The Midnight Cry.’ Bro. Corey spoke on ‘It’s time to make a change’ using Haggai, first chapter as his scripture. We are told to think carefully how we are spending our time and money. Instead of putting off the building of God’s house we are building for ourselves. We must have a word with god and let him direct us. Delayed obedience is Disobedience. Excuses will

never get us where we should be. God has promised us his Presence will be with us. Are we willing to step up for God? Sunday evening, Bro. Corey spoke on ‘The guidelines of giving’ from II Corinthians 8:16- 9:4, What is good in the eyes of men may not be right in the eyes of God. We must put no one in the position they will be temped. Select men approves by the church, never out anyone in harms way. We are to give with joy. If we sow sparingly we will reap sparingly. Look what our Lord gave. We must give because we have been given so much. As we greet the month of September remember Saturday the 13 is the 3rd annual McEwen Homecoming. Terry Owens will be performing also. The entire evening will be honoring Ms. Marcy Kelsey Beckett, who we all know and love. No admission, a love offering will be taken. Revival will be September 14 through the 17. Courage is fear that has said its prayers.

Pharmacy & Your Health Raynaud’s Phenomenon & the Effect on Fingers Raynaud’s phenomenon is a condition in which there is an alternation in sensations felt by the fingers and toes. The altered sensations is a result of an enhanced response of the blood vessels to certain stimuli, such as cold temperatures and emotional stress. Persons affected by the condition experience sensations of cold or numbness in the fingers and toes. The fingers and toes change colors, initially turning white, then bluish, and finally red before returning to normal color.

Raynaud’s phenomenon may occur in association with other conditions, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or scleroderma.

RELIGION Golden Agers

Keely Mill by Diane Hamlin Our Sunday school hour began with everyone standing and singing the hymn ‘Heavenly Sunlight.’ Mike Fields opened us in prayer. We dismissed to our classes. Daymond Duck opened the adult class in prayer. Scott Fields did a good job teaching us our lesson ‘Be Ready for Tribulation’ from Daniel 9. God, in His own time and in His own way, will bring the world to its appropriate end. According to His promise, Jesus Christ will return personally and visibly in glory to the earth. Scott Fields closed us in prayer. Our Sunday morning worship hour began with ElaineFieldsplayingthepiano and Mike Fields leading us in our offertory hymn ‘Victory in Jesus.’ Stephen Fields opened services in prayer. We sang and wished Elaine Fields a happy birthday. Rejoice in the Lord always. Bro. Steve welcomed everyone and made our announcements. We had a time of giving our praise reports. Hugs, smiles and words of encouragement were enjoyed during our time of meet and greet with our church family and visitors. We thank the Lord for our visitors. Bro. Steve led us in prayer over our morning services. Felichia Fields blessed us with our special music. Bro. Steve welcomed

our morning speaker Bro. Daymond Duck. Several men in the church gathered around Bro. Daymond as Bro. John Fields led in prayer for him. Bro. Daymond presented us with a presentation on Prophesy and spoke to us about the signs and current events going on now. We thank Bro. Daymond for joining us for worship and keeping us updated on the signs of the times. Scott Fields dismissed services in prayer as the hymn ‘Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus’ was sung. On Saturday night a Sunday school banquet was held in the fellowship hall to recognize all our Sunday school teachers. We were truly blessed to have Ms. Mary Jane Powell was our guest Sunday school speaker. She shared her testimony of growing up in Sunday school, teaching children’s church and youth and now teaching a senior adult class. She gave advice on how to learn the Ten Commandments, study the old King James Bibles, memorize The Lords Prayer, study your lessons and keep the message in your heart and always outreach to others. We thank you Mary Jane for all your years of dedication to the Lord and for sharing your wisdom with all of us. Remember to read your Bibles this week and pray for Pastors, Sunday school teachers and our churches.

To begin their day, Golden Agers gathered very early August 27 at Joe and Deana’s By-Pass Café in their conference room for a sumptuous breakfast. We started early and stayed late. My appetite would not be denied and I ate the consummate meal of the menu. Even though I rarely eat things not good for me in abundance, I just love country ham, and gravy and all that good stuff loaded with fat-driven calories. Everything was delicious! Happily, Kenny McEwen is recovering well from his heart surgery and he met with us for breakfast and to express his appreciation for prayers and words of encouragement from the group. He will be involves in therapy at the Volunteer Hospital in Martin 3 times each week, and he had an appointment later the current morning. Our program began with Gary’s playing on his harmonica and then he accompanied Caroly Temple’s leading us in song. Pastor of Dyer FBC DeWayne Goodgine selected for his scripture James 5:13-16 with his key passage featuring v. 13. Brother DeWayne reminded

If you don’t have a job that you love maybe you can learn to love what you do. For a better chance at success, you will want to include daily prayer in your plan for fulfillment.
