Smithson joins First State Ag Services
BY LORI CATHEY The third annual Dyer Station Celebration Toy Run was held Saturday, June 8th beginning at the Presbyterian Church manse in Dyer. This fundraiser is designated to benefit the Dyer Station ‘Giving Tree,’ which provides toys, clothes and other needed items for area children whose families are enduring difficult financial times. Beverly Laughlin, event coordinator, welcomed the riders. Don Morgan led the bikers in prayers before departing on the 85-mile ride. The Gibson County Sheriff’s Department volunteered as escorts for the riders for the
entire route. Dyer Police Department assisted within the city limits. Over 40 bike riders were led by Sheriff’s Department Captain Roger Gary over the 85-mile route. At the halfway point, the riders made a pit stop at Jus’ Bike Me in Bradford. Bobby and Mitzi Brooks, owners, gave the riders refreshments and the use of facilities. After returning to Dyer, the Dyer Station Celebration planning committee provided hamburgers, hot dogs and other refreshments to all of the participants. Door prizes were given away along with a 50/50 drawing. The Toy Run ended with the announcement and see page 2

HAPPY FAMILY – Johnny and Christy Kimbro couldn’t be happier to have all three of their children healthy and safely in their arms. Tucker is four, Ty is eight, and Ella is three. Big brother Ty is more watchul than ever of little sister Ella after she survived drowning in the family swimming pool last month.
Dad breathes life back into drowned daughter BY CINDY EAST Thursday, May 22nd was a day like any other day in the home of Johnny and Christy Kimbro of Yorkville. The busy parents of three young children were going about their day as they normally would. In a matter of seconds their lives came very close to tragedy. Johnny was adding chemicals to the family’s back yard pool when Christy arrived home with the three children. Ty is eight, Tucker is four and little Ella is three. Johnny came down from the deck to greet them. The kids began riding their bikes around in the garage. Christy went inside to change clothes and start a load in the washer. Only two or three minutes later in the kitchen she asked Johnny where the kids were. He said in the garage. “I went back to the garage and checked and Ella wasn’t in there. I immediately panicked! I wasn’t sure if Johnny had locked the gate to the pool. I ran to the pool and looked to the right, and then left. At first I didn’t see her. Then I saw the image on her shirt. I panicked and ran up the stairs. She was floating on top of the water. I pulled her out onto the deck. She was cold and lifeless. I thought she was dead,” said Christy. Christy continued, “Johnny jumped over the side of the pool and then climbed out of the pool onto the deck. I guess that was the fastest way. It all happened in seconds! He started CPR and I ran to call 911. We live so far out in the country. First Responders were closest to us. I went down to the end of the driveway to flag them in. Zach Marbrey, who is an EMT and

May 28th, 2014 Elam McKnight’s latest album based on humanistic struggles has officially announced for its release June 10th - produced through his own label Big Black Hand. “It was bound to happen,” says Elam McKnight about his new album Made to Fall. “A great deal has happened to me professionally and personally over the last 12 years of making music and these songs have had their time to wait.” McKnight, predominantly known as a Roots and Blues artist, has spread out sonically on his new album, with no plans of ever going back. The new album is going in an entirely new direction from his previously released works. see page 2

Smithson joins First State from page 1 First State Ag Services while attending his last semester at UTM. During this time, he developed a good understanding of First State’s internal systems and what we do in the ag services department,” said Brian McDaniel, vice president of Ag Services. “I have a tremendous amount of confidence in Ty’s ability to help manage and grow an ag portfolio. He was born and raised in Greenfield, TN and is excited to be involved in our community.”
“I am very excited to have the opportunity to serve Northwest Tennessee through First State Ag Services. I joined this company because of the reputation that First State has built with great performance and community involvement,” said Smithson. “I look forward to working with First State and exceeding expectations.” First State Bank has 31 full-service banking locations in 25 communities throughout West, Middle
and East Tennessee. It is owned by Community First Bancshares, a holding company headquartered in Union City, Tenn., which also operates a mortgage company, an insurance company, a specialized ag services division, investment services, a small business lending division, a consumer finance company, an employee benefits division, a specialized trust services division, and an indirect auto financing division at various locations across the state.
from page 1 From lyrics to melody the ton of the album emphasizes on the struggles throughout every part of life, and the reaction. This theme was inspired by an interview he read a few years ago. “Something struck me in an interview I read with Cormac McCarthy where he basically stated that he had little use for authors who did not deal in the truths of life. It compelled me to seriously look at releasing all of my material and not just the stuff that fit anyone else’s expectations but my own.” His latest album is comprised of 10 songs that come from McKnight’s own catalog. His songs range between loss, love, wonderment, and hope that are intricately wound into McKnight’s own version of American music. “It comes a point where you just have
to jump and not worry about where you land and jumping is feeling pretty good these days,” states songwriter, McKnight. The artist has released 5 albums to date and has experienced increasing critical praise and radio airplay around the globe with each one. ‘Made to Fall’ will launch in just two weeks and is already being lauded by many critics who follow the industry closely. McKnight has also put the finishing touches on his own studio, Magic Lantern Studios, which will allow him the flexibility to make more releases directly to his fan base and the world at large. McKnight is a singersongwriter from West Tennessee. He is an artist firmly based in the roots of his region’s Blues, Rock, and Country. McKnight’s solo debut, 2003’s Braid
My Hair, was hailed by critics as a breath of fresh air in the sometimes-stale climate that is predictable “bar band” blues, while his second album, 2005’s The Last Country Store, found a spot on many blues charts internationally and in America. McKnight’s 2007’s album Supa Good earned notoriety when the opening track, “Devil Minded Woman,” was voted by fans as the Best Blues Song in the Musician’s Atlas sponsored 7th Annual Independent Music Awards.

Insight & Opinion June 1st marked TN Statehood Day
Clayburn Peeples reports: I note with some sadness that yet another Tennessee Statehood Day has passed with hardly any ceremonies marking the occasion here in West Tennessee. Our state mates in East Tennessee pay more attention to our common history than we do, and several local events across the Eastern Grand Division were held on June 1 to mark the occasion. It was on that date, in 1796, that Pres. George Washington signed the bill making Tennessee the 16th state in the young American union. The road to statehood had not been a smooth one for the small and courageous bands of pioneers who had carved out settlements in East and Middle Tennessee during the previous two decades. Their first petition to Congress, in May 1785, to be admitted as the 14th state in the union under
back. Congress, thinking the territory held 16.5 million acres of land that it could sell for huge profits, acted on North Carolina’s cession with alacrity. They immediately designated the area a territory and called it “the Territory South of the River Ohio,” even though it only included present-day Tennessee. A North Carolina land speculator who owned millions of acres of land in Tennessee, but had never even set foot in the state, was named to be our territorial governor, and the admission into the Union of the new territory, commonly referred to simply as “the Southwest Territory,” would be governed by a law known as the Northwest Ordinance, which provided various stages of transition from territory to statehood. After a territory reached a population of at least
the name “Franklin,” after Benjamin Franklin, failed to win passage by two votes. The state of Franklin had been formed the previous year by upper East Tennessee settlers, primarily for protection from Indian raids. North Carolina, which owned Tennessee at the time, had just ceded all its Western lands (read Tennessee) to the federal government, but shortly after the Franklin adherents set up their own government, North Carolina reneged and took it back. It also began to undermine Franklin’s statehood efforts by both bribes and threats, and by 1788 the young would-be state government had failed and disbanded. But in the fall of 1789, the North Carolina legislature again ceded its trans mountain lands to the federal government, and this time they didn’t take them
Pages from the Past 10 YEARS AGO June 10, 2004 Yorkville Telephone Cooperative celebrated its Annual Meeting on Saturday, June 5 with an informal family style meeting. Over 500 people attended the events members enjoyed free food, give-aways, door prizes and the sounds of a bluegrass band. Children also enjoyed games and activities. After the meeting, Board of Directors election results were announced. Andy Johnson and Norman Earl Hall were elected to serve a three-year term and Paul Bennett and Wylie were also re-elected to serve another term. Employees were presented service awards. Gene Allmon was presented a plaque for 35 years of service, Terry Allmon and David Hanks for 25 years of service. Chief Warrant Officer 2nd Grade, Army Air-Calvary, Jason W. Cooper is another native son of the Tri-City area who is presently serving in Iraq. Cooper is from Dyer, the son of Phil and Lana Cooper and grandson of May Cooper and Eunice Cunningham all of Dyer. He is married to the former Christy Pickard of Humboldt. They have two children, three-year old Emily and Jacob, who is 17 months old. Cooper graduated from GCHS in 1991 and entered the armed forces in 1998 and completed flight training at
Act and has as it s goal the development of a statewide network to assist local agencies in handling child abuse cases, particularly child sexual abuse cases. The Gibson County Emergency Communications District requests that the citizens of the city of Kenton and residents of Gibson County surrounding Kenton, whose telephone numbers have a 749 prefix, call 911 between June 19 and June 23. This is to validate your name, telephone number and address in the emergency 911 system. 50 YEARS AGO June 11, 1964 Gibson County Sheriff R.O. Pybass won re-nomination for a third two-year term in the democratic primary election held last Saturday. He defeated rodeo performer Leon Hopkins by a narrow margin of 1948 to 1421. The Dyer Board of Mayor and Aldermen, meeting in regular monthly session Monday night, authorized the trading in of the 1963 Pontiac police car on a new 1964 model. Under an agreement with the city, Dyer Motor Company furnishes the town a new Pontiac patrol car each year for $600. Kenneth Horner, son of Mr. and Mrs. Aubrey Horner, returned Tuesday from Boy’s State, Lebanon. He reported a wonderful experience
Fort Rucker, Alabama. He is a helicopter pilot, flying the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior. During the June 1 meeting of the Kenton City board, Robert Martin of Martin Associates presented opened bids for the sidewalk/walking trail project proposal. The proposed trail will run from Poplar Street via White Squirrel Drive to Orchard Street and will include a metal, single-span bridge. However, Clauch Construction agreed to lower the bid even further to come within the bounds of the available sate grant limit of $173,000. The city’s cost involved had previously been reduced by efforts of the Mayor’s office by 416,000 from the original figure of $40,000. 25 YEARS AGO June 15, 1989 “One of the state’s finest prosecutors” and “a man without an equal” retired several weeks ago. Assistant District Attorney General A.H. Schoonover, known as affectionately as Schoony, retired several weeks ago from that position he’d held with vigor and distinction for almost 19 years. Attorney General Clayburn Peeples has been named one of 30 Tennesseans to serve as a member of the Tennessee Child SexualAbuse Network Adversary Committee. This committee was created under the auspices of the Federal Children’s Justice

5,000 free adult males, it was entitled to set up a legislature. No one knew how many people lived in the Southwest Territory at the time, so a census was held, and many were astonished to discover that the total population was greater than 35,000, nearly 29,000 of whom lived in East Tennessee, with the remaining 7,000 in the middle district. With 6,300 free males, the Tennessee territory was entitled to set up a legislature, but for two years William Blount, our territorial governor, refused to do so, opting instead to run things by himself. Things went on that way until early 1794 when Indian hostilities forced the installation of a territorial legislature so that concerted action could be taken to protect the settlers. The new legislature passed several laws governing life in the territory, and the next year, 1795, it authorized another census, because according to the Northwest Ordinance, once a territory’s population exceeded 60,000 free persons, it was eligible for statehood. The new census showed Tennessee’s free population to be 66,650 persons. The legislature had also conducted a plebiscite as to whether citizens wanted to request statehood. An
overwhelming number of East Tennesseans did, but Middle Tennesseans did not. They feared that any new state would be dominated by East Tennessee. Nevertheless, having met population requirements, the settlers’ leaders moved to the next stage of pre statehood, that of drafting a constitution. This they did quickly, borrowing heavily from the state constitution of North Carolina. They also decided on a name for the new state. Several were suggested and rejected, names such as “Franklin,” “Watauga,” “New France” and “Cumberland,” but they finally settled on “Tennessee,” the name of one of the middle district counties at the time. The old Tennessee County was divided into two new counties they named Robertson and Montgomery,

and the Southwest Territory became, forevermore, Tennessee. Tradition holds that Andrew Jackson suggested the name, but no one really knows. Nor does anyone know the origin of the word. All that is known is that the word “Tennessee” comes from an Indian term whose meaning is lost in antiquity. But from whatever source came the word, the new state would be called Tennessee, and following the convention, the settlers promptly sent their new Tennessee Constitution and a copy of the 1795 census returns to President Washington with an appeal for statehood. In April of 1796, he forwarded their request to Congress. It should surprise no one to know that it was there that the wheels almost ran off the track. (to be continued)

Wednesday evening our minister, Brother Corey Meggs spoke on ‘Why Churches are not growing.’ Scripture was Philippians 2:19-30. It was explained that we have an inward focus and are neglecting local outreach. Timothy had proven himself; Epaphroditus had almost died for the work of Christ. We must identify our outlook, it determines the outcome. After flash flood, rain and more rain it was good to be in the Father’s House Sunday. Brother Terry Owens brought our special music ‘Unending love, amazing grace.’ Brother Corey asked the question, ‘Have your unwrapped your gift from God?, wait there is more!’ Scripture was I Corinthians 12:1-7. He focused on Spiritual Gifts, do you know what yours are? God gave us all spiritual gifts when
we gave Him ourselves. We are to feed on God’s Word, every day, study scripture and seek God’s direction in our lives. We won’t know what His gifts to us are until we try them. Get feedback from your friends and family. It is for the common good. Sunday evening Brother Corey spoke on ‘Revealing Jesus to others’ from II Corinthians 4:1-12. We are not to preach ourselves but Jesus. Use God’s Word for a light to shine in the darkness if the world. If it shines in heart, it can light the way for others. We are to die to self and live for Christ. Men, remember next Sunday is Father’s Day. All men are to bake a cake and bring it Sunday evening. I’ve never been surprised by God’s judgment, but I’m still by His Grace. Max Lucado.
North Union Vacation Bible School was a huge success serving 49 different children. Average attendance was 34 each night. High attendance was 40 children on Thursday night. 30 workers worked diligently each and every night, teaching, doing skits, preparing food, driving the bus, crafting, being general helpers, or hanging out in the trees. Friday night over 70 people experienced the great Son Treasure Island adventure and found the true treasure. They enjoyed a meal of grilled hot dogs prepared by the men of VBS and island themed cupcakes prepared by the women. The children were announcing to all ‘this was the best VBS Ever!’ God truly blessed all who attended, helped, or prayed for the event. Thanks to all who made it a hit ! Two different groups from other churches visited this Son Treasure Island adventure. The Bairds and the Bawcums are celebrating anniversaries this week.

Sims. Glad Royce Turner is back home after being in the hospital. Bro. Chris call to worship was Ephesians 4: 2, 3 Sometimes it is difficult to keep unity of peace. For our children’s moment VBS had a closing skit with singing. God’s love is a treasure forever. When these folks first came to Treasure Island they were looking for gold and silver but found God’s Love something they could give away. Bro. Chris preached on the Biblical Role in the life of a mother and the value of being a wife. From Titus 2: 1-5 we learn the roles of men and women. Men and women are equal before Christ but their roles are different. Ephesians 5: 28-33 is what Christ outlines for marriage. The Family unit is critical and important. As I drove home from church I noticed all the wheat fields ripe for harvest. As long as I can remember June has been the month to harvest the wheat crop.

The affected nerves may also weaken and lose their functionally. The causes of MS remains unknown. Risk factors that are common to this disease include women, white race, family history of the disease, and a history of infection with certain viruses. Some common symptoms include blurred vision, weakness in the limbs, a tingling type of pain, shakiness, and uncomfortable sensations with head movement. While there is no cure for MS, a physician should be consulted to develop a complete treatment plan. There are certain medications available that can help lesson the progression of the disease. Beta interferon (Avonex, Rebif, Extravia) therapy helps reduce the number of multiple sclerosis attacks. Glatiramer acetate (Copaxone) is an injectable medication that may help protect the nerve covering from being destroyed. Fingolimod (Gilenya) helps reduce disability by limiting the movement of immune cells to the central system. Those with a slow heart beat may need to be monitor before starting this medication.
Faith Wigdor and Cindy Lamar had a most blessed Sunday last week as they worshiped God together starting at Riverwoods Church in Dyersburg and continuing at the Homecoming service at Sassafras Ridge Baptist Church near Hickman, Ky. where several of Cindy’s
relatives attend. The presence of the Lord filled both services and they were touched mightily by God. Along with the many others in attendance, the ladies enjoyed the musical ministry of goodly heritage as they sang with great sincerity, love and anointing.

Food for thought: When your grip on life gets hard to hold and you think you can’t hold on. Turn your eyes to the one who gave His only Son. He will give you what you need to hold on another day, He is everything you need He is the only way. Prayer requests: Jolene Keymon, Ronnie Lamar, Henry Herane, Clint McLodge, Jackie Hatch, Margie Ashley, Jesse and Elaine Davidson, Bobby and Carol Primrose, and Freddie Simmons.

Sunday School for Shut-Ins By Mary King When you’re ready please read Genesis 1:14-19. The Heavens play a continuous concert of expanding stars and galaxies. If the star stopped expanding, we would stop breathing. In order for us to remain on earth, the concert of galaxies must continue. And only God creates with such precision. Have you ever had a problem so hard that God would have to stop the earth to solve your problem? She could go to family but that was before they found out she had accepted Jesus as her Savior and Lord. Mary had once counted on those in the business world but not any more. Her former friends had been
the Pharisees. Now she had turned away from them and turned to Jesus – the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Now right there, we know the Pharisees would have started trouble. The Pharisees are the people persecuting those who live for the name of Jesus. The Bible tells us that this will continue: ‘Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution’ 2 Timothy 3:12(KJV). Mary of Magdala had watched Jesus die on the cross. She had watched as Nicodemus and Joseph put His body into the borrowed tomb. She had watched as strong men rolled the stone in front of the entrance of
the tomb. She didn’t understand why Jesus had to die. She didn’t understand that He would be raised from the dead. But she was prepared to go alone. Along the way, she met other women who were going to the tomb also. When she got to the tomb, she saw angel move that huge stone from the front of the tomb where she had seen the disciples put the body on Jesus days before. Then Mary ran to tell the disciples that the Lord Jesus wasn’t in the tomb. Peter and John came and saw the empty tomb. Now all the disciples went home but Mary. She stayed alone in the garden.

Youth Villages names Howard new foster parent recruiter for Dyer-area Youth Villages has named Lacey Howard its new foster parent recruiter for the Dyer-area. In her new role, she will be informing the community about Youth Villages’ foster care program and providing free orientation sessions and training classes for people who are interested in becoming foster parents. Before joining Youth Villages, she worked as a case manager for the Tennessee Department of Children’s Services in Tipton County. She wanted to use her experience working with foster families and children to help build community awareness about the need for caring foster homes. Howard and her family moved to Tennessee in 2008. In 2011, she earned a bachelor’s degree in social work from the University of Tennessee at Martin, where her younger sister is currently a student. A native of Iowa, Howard now considers Tennessee her home. “This is most definitely home now,” she said. “I do not want to leave, and I look forward to continuing to settle my family’s roots here.” Howard lives in Covington with her husband, Ray, who is studying to be a surgeon, and their seven children, Sadie, 13, Brianna, 12, Christian 10, Lillian, 9, Gracelyn, 7, and twins Heleena and Wren, 2. Their family raises chickens, goats, ducks and pigs. They also enjoy gardening and being outdoors as much as possible. While living in Iowa, Howard owned and
operated a state-registered child care service and practiced interior design. She earned an associate’s degree in art from Iowa Lakes Community College in 1998. Howard will be offering free foster parent training classes for adults in the Dyer-area who are interested in becoming foster parents. “I am looking for caring, nurturing, open-minded people that would love to offer their homes as a safe place for children to
continue growing,” she said. Howard will hold her first free foster parent orientation sessions on Monday, June 16 and Monday, June 30. Both orientation sessions will begin at 5:30 p.m. at the Youth Villages office, located at 1865 U.S. Highway 51 Bypass North, Dyersburg, TN 38024. Foster parents should be over the age of 25 and living in the Dyer-area. Foster parents should have viable income, reliable transportation and be able to pass a background check and home study. Youth Villages provides foster parents with 24-hour access to counselors, support groups and a monthly stipend to offset the cost of adding a child to the home. Foster parents also often have the first right to adopt if the child becomes available for adoption. For more information about how you can change the life of a child, contact Howard at 731-2884613 or lacey.howard@ youthvillages.com.

Sunday was designated ‘Family and Friends Day’ and we had a church full that came for the event. The very front pew was the only one with nobody on it. Tina and Janice opened with ‘Let’s Just Praise the Lord’ during quiet time and ‘Holy Ground’ was the call to worship. Our welcome time took a little longer as we had so many special guests to welcome. But we sang ‘Victory in Jesus.’ So we had plenty of time to celebrate our visitors. Alarge group of Preacher’s Pals told about how much Jesus loves them. Brother Jeff then preached a great sermon from James 1:1-8 and Matt 7:21-27 on the subject ‘Are You a Servant of God?’ We adjourned to the fellowship hall for a delicious ‘pot luck’ southern Sunday dinner and a time of visiting. Every thing was delicious, but the dessert table was overwhelming! The preacher was standing guard over a hunk of strawberry cake. That’s his favorite and he gets to take home whatever is left. Wasn’t much left this day. About one o’clock we went back to the sanctuary for more singing and a short devotion from the twelfth chapter of Romans. Everyone agreed we had a wonderful day in the Lord’s House. Tina McMackin had a birthday last week and decided to spend it on the beach. The McMackins enjoyed a stay in Panama City, FL. My family also went for a few days on the Gulf Coast. Julie and Becca rented a condo at Gulfport. I was happy to be included and Angi came from Louisiana

to meet us there. After getting a little too much sun, we took a side trip to New Orleans. Good vacation but came home through some strong storms. We were grateful for God’s protection and so happy was Granny to be in her own bed. If you’ll let me know when you take trips I will include your goings and comings. It’s that time of the year. The Smithson clan was excited to have relatives in the area last week. If you are a golf fan, you may have seen Matt Every playing in the St. Jude Pro Am Tournament. He scored very well and several of his folks were there cheering him on. Also, Danielle, his wife, who is Wanda’s great niece, was able to come one day with her little boy to Mason Hall to see those who didn’t get to Memphis. Kirk, Emily and Emmitt were in Murfreesboro for the Lineman’s Rodeo over the weekend, but had to leave early to come home and repair power lines damaged by the storms. Mac was also called out about the time he got home. Such is the life of a lineman for the electric company and we thank them for their dedication to the job. I’d better stop now or there won’t be room to fit it all in my column. Have a great week and I leave you with this quote from Rev. Billy Graham: How often have you found what you were looking for in life, only to realize it didn’t bring you the satisfaction you thought it would? Try putting Christ first. You will discover that He alone is the source of the love, peace, and joy you have been searching for.

“For Over 40 Years!!!
The Tri-City Reporter, Wednesday, June 11, 2014 Page 9
Dad breathes life back into drowned daughter from page 1 shop but wasn’t on duty. Jon Murray was on duty and he arrived next.” Both Kimbros are nurses. Christy works with Ripley Healthcare and Johnny at Volunteer Home Care. Being nurses, both are certified in CPR. This knowledge saved their little girl’s life. Johnny was busy working on reviving his daughter before the First Responders arrived. “When I first got on the deck to her, she wasn’t breathing. I checked for a pulse and couldn’t find one. I checked her eyes and her pupils were fully dialated. I began CPR. It seemed like I did CPR for 10 minutes when it was actually only about four or five minutes until First Responders got there. After about four minutes of CPR she started to breathe. When she would take a deep breath she would stop again. I had to clear her mouth. She had started vomiting. Once she started to take big breaths between compressions I checked her eyes again. I could see her pupils started to constrict. Then I knew we were getting somewhere and she was coming back. I turned her over and elevated her legs so anything else could drain out and began back compressions.” This whole time, big brother Ty was right beside his father helping in any way he could. He would wipe her face and mouth whenever she vomited.
“When the First Responders got here they administered oxygen. We continued doing back compressions and administering oxygen until the ambulance arrived,” said Johnny. Ella was moved to the ambulance where EMT’s monitored her O2 stats and continued oxygen. Christy and Johnny said she started to whine a little. A medical helicopter arrived and landed in their front yard. Ella was airlifted to LeBonheur in Memphis while her parents were left behind. “That was the longest ride to Memphis ever. They called and let us know when they arrived at LeBonheur. When we arrived at the hospital she was sedated and on a ventilator. They told us it would be a one to two week recovery, but within four days she was off all medications and oxygen. They let her go home on the fifth day. She has no neurological damage, is perfectly healthy, smart as ever and remembers everything that happened that day. We knew she was going to be okay when she was fighting trying to pull the ventilator out and hitting the nurses,” said Christy. “The doctors called it purposeful movement,” said Johnny with a smile. “When they took the vent out and woke her up I played her favorite song ‘Let
it Go’ from ‘Frozen.’ She was crying and before she opened her eyes she was trying to sing it. Once the sedation wore off about six hours later she asked for something to eat and drink and to go outside and play. This was only 24 hours after the accident,” said Christy. “They had her scheduled for 10 days of physical therapy to get her back up and walking. When she got up, she shot across the room and down the hall. That was on day four. In minutes she had done everything they wanted her to do in 10 days,” said Johnny. LeBonheur said they had never seen a child recover so fast who gone through that type of trauma. A week or more before the accident, Ella had a ‘croupy’ cough and had been on antibiotics and a steroid. Doctors think this may have played a role in her quick recovery, said Christy. Her mother said when she woke up she said her kitty cat had fallen into the pool and she jumped in to save it. She said she tried to yell but water kept getting in her mouth. Then she said she went under and drowned. Then Ella told her parents something very unexpected. She described seeing a very bright light and a man walking toward her. Then the light went out. Her mother believes that is the moment that Johnny got her back. Christy’s sister showed
Ella a picture of Jesus and asked her who it was. “Ella replied that’s the man I saw who saved me.” “She said all of this right out of sedation. It wasn’t coerced. She had never heard a story about bright lights seen at death or anything like that. I thank God every day for saving her,” said Christy. The family is also thankful for all the support from family, friends and strangers. Nearly every day, they receive cards or gifts. They appreciate most of all the prayers. Even though the family had an automatic latch on the gate, Ella figured out how to open it. They kept a combination lock on it too but because Johnny was adding chemicals and the family arrived home during his maintenance, he forgot to lock it back. Ella is not afraid of the swimming pool and they do not plan to remove it. “It will not change what happened,” said Johnny. “We will be adding a different lock and a different gate as well as an alarm. We will have a double gate - one at the bottom of the stairs and one at the top. If you have a pool you can’t take your eyes off the kids.” Big brother Ty is very protective of his little sister and really watches out for her now. Christy said Tucker said a private prayer for his ‘sissy’ in the chapel at LeBonehur and tells people that Jesus saved his sister.
When the sun’s hot summer rays are beating down, a backyard swimming pool is a cool, inviting oasis. Unfortunately, it can also be one of the most dangerous things on your property. Making sure that your pool is reasonably safeguarded to help prevent drowning is your responsibility as a parent and a pool owner. Teach Your Children to Swim – While there’s no way to “drown-proof” a child, making sure that every child in your family knows how to swim is one of the most effective ways to help prevent accidental drowning. Make sure that your kids learn to swim at an early age so that they are reasonably equipped to protect themselves in the event of an accidental fall. Install a Fence –Aswimming pool is a beacon to every child in the neighborhood, which is why it’s important to install a fence with a self-latching gate around your pool area that’s at least four feet tall. Put Alarms on Doors Leading to the Pool Area – If doors within your house lead directly to the pool area, it’s wise to consider the installation of alarms that will sound if those doors are opened. Install Underwater Motion Alarms – There are commercially-available devices that will sound an alarm if the surface of the water is disturbed by objects or bodies falling into the water. Never Let Kids Swim Unattended – It should go without saying, but kids should never be allowed to swim without the supervision
of an adult who’s able to swim proficiently enough to retrieve them in the event of an accident and who can perform CPR if it’s needed. Learn CPR – You may make every possible effort to secure your pool and safeguard against accidental drowning incidents, but will still not be able to completely rule out the possibility of an accident. That’s why it’s essential for kids and adults alike to know CPR and be well-versed in emergency management. Keep Flotation Devices in Reach – Should someone fall into your pool and an onlooker is incapable of swimming well enough to pull them to safety, you should make sure that there are adequate flotation devices stocked within easy reach around the perimeter of the pool area. A few statistics on accidental drowning in preschoolers •The majority of children who survive (92 percent) are discovered within two minutes following submersion, and most children who die (86 percent) are found after 10 minutes. Nearly all who require cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) die or are left with severe brain injury. — National Safe Kids Campaign •Drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death in the USA among children under 14 and the leading cause of accidental death for children age 5 and under. — American Institute for Preventive Medicine •A child can drown in the
time it takes to answer the phone — US Consumer Product Safety Commission •Of all preschoolers who drown, 70 percent are in the care of one or both parents and 75 percent are missing from sight five minutes or less — National Center for Injury Prevention and Control •For children under four years of age, a swimming pool is more dangerous than an automobile. In fact, children this age are 14 times as likely to drown in a pool than be killed in a motor vehicle accident. In Louisiana, 30 children less than 15-years old drowned in 1999, and almost half (47 percent) of those were less than five years of age. — Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, Office
of Public Health •Sixty-five percent of preschooler drownings occur in the child’s home pool and 33 percent at the homes of friends, neighbors or relatives. — US Consumer Product Safety Commission •Forty-six percent were last seen in the house prior to being found in the pool. Of these, 15 percent were thought to be sleeping. •Twenty-three percent were last seen in the yard, porch or patio, not in the pool area. That’s a total of 69 percent that were thought not to be in the pool area. •Thirty nine percent of the people responsible for supervising the child were doing chores. 18 percent socializing. 9 percent were busy on the telephone.

Sports & Education
McMackin, McKinney play in 7th annual All-Star game BY LORI CATHEY Gibson County’s catcher Carter McMackin and center fielder Taylor McKinney played in the seventh annual All-Star game featuring the top baseball seniors in the area at Pringles Park in Jackson. They were 2 of 36 players chosen for the 2014 High School Baseball Allstar game. The annual All-Star game was renamed to Billy Schrivner West Tennessee High School All-Star Game to honor the lasting legacy of this avid sportsman. Bethel University Head Coach Rusty Thompson
managed the Gray Team and Freed-Hardeman University Head Coach Jonathan Estes managed the Red Team. In the All-Star game McMackin went 1-2 with a single, threw a runner out trying to steal second base and made great play on a swing bunt for an out. McMackin, who batted .343 and led the team with 22 RBI’s and also leads the team in extra base hits.
