DSC names 2014 parade marshals BY KAREEN GRIFFIN Thirty years ago, the Dyer Station Celebration was born. It came from a dream Georgia McIlwain Ellis had of having a community gettogether to involve the whole community. Thus the Dyer Station Celebration was started. It has been 30 years of fun and fellowship for us all! A group of 17 people from Dyer were on the first committee and they have been asked to be the 2014 parade marshals. They are Johnny McIlwain, Kareen Griffin, Judy Baker, Alice Ernest, Sue Stephenson, Judee Newbert, Marilyn Howe, Lou Ellen Bone, Jane Kelly, Brenda Holland, Joey Hays, George Ellis, Sara Ellen Jones, Kay Tignor, Mary Nell Nicholson, Amy O’Bannon, and Carolyn Harrison. We hope to see all of you on the Fourth of July at the Dyer Station Celebration parade!
Bettye Cunningham will be memorialized as an Honorary Chairperson for the Gibson – North Relay For Life representing Bradford. The annual Relay For Life event will be held June 20, 2014 at the Jones Volunteer Park in Rutherford. ‘Miss’ Bettye was a 10 year cancer survivor. She was diagnosed with Stage 1 estrogen receptive positive breast cancer in 2003 and decided to have a mastectomy. Her only treatment was the pill form of chemotherapy which she took daily for 5 years. While undergoing an MRI for another health issue, it was discovered her cancer had returned with
a vengeance. This past October, she was told her cancer, now stage 4, had spread into her chest wall and eaten into her sternum. She immediately began an aggressive radiation treatment and chemotherapy. However, another spot was soon found on her right lung. This past March ‘Miss’ Bettye became a patient of Hospice. Her daughter, Tracy Abbott, stated, “I will never forget that phone call. It was like someone had kicked me in the chest. It was a Friday afternoon. Mom was still in good spirits. Something happened see page 3

GIVING NEW LIFE TO OLD FURNITURE – Patty Stafford and Brenda Crawford will have a booth at the Dyer Station Celebration Arts & Crafts in the Park on the 4th of July. The two make benches from old beds and give new life to other old furniture pieces with ‘chalk paint.’
Vendors ready for DSC Arts & Crafts in the Park BY CINDY EAST The annual Dyer Station Celebration Arts & Crafts in the Park will be held July 4 beginning at 8 a.m. Among the vendors participating this year are Patty Stafford of Rutherford and Brenda Crawford of Trenton. The two women both attended Dyer High School but had not seen each other in 50 years. They reconnected through a mutual friends and found out they had many of the same interests and had a lot in common. Stafford, a beautician with a shop at her home
on Circle S Farms, said they started making wreaths together and selling them through Facebook. Crawford has a booth located at Carol’s Antiques in Trenton where she sells some of her craft items. She had the ‘know-how’ to make the wreaths and Stafford made the bows so came together to make wreaths in the beginning. Their ‘craftiness’ blossomed into repurposing old furniture into benches and also painting other furniture items and giving them a new look and a new life. see page 3
City ditch in Kenton erodes property BY CINDY EAST The Kenton City Board met in an emergency meeting last Tuesday, June 12 to address a drainage problem in a ditch along Tilghman Street. Mayor Virginia Davidson called for the meeting. All board members were present with the exception of Deloris Agee. The board had an engineer come out earlier in the year to design a solution to fix the drainage problem and the city crew has been following the engineer’s designs to fix it. The work is nearly complete, however, due to all the heavy rain, homeowner Sherry Dvorak’s yard has been eroding away. In her front yard, two drainage pipe meet from two different directions and cause a whirlpool effect where the rainwater swirls and churns as it runs through. Dvorak is concerned about her property washing away and thinks the work is making the matter worse. Aldermen Tim Johns and Wade Simpson have been working on the problem and how to finish it up. The two do not agree. Johns thinks the engineer’s design if flawed and another solution needs to be found. In Simpson’s opinion, the city should wait until the job is completed by the city crew, as the engineer designed. When they are finished, the problem should be fixed. “The engineer gave us plan. We all voted to do it this way,” said Simpson. see page 3

County Commisisoners to set tax rate at next meeting BY APRIL G. JACKSON The Gibson County legislative body will reconvene Monday, June 23, at 6 p.m. at the Ed Jones Agriplex in Trenton. Before the meeting, a public hearing will be held at 5:30 on the certified tax rate. An ad appearing in the county’s weekly newspapers this week gives notice of the county’s intent to exceed the state certified property tax rate. County commissioners will be setting the property tax rate and addressing the next fiscal year’s budget at the meeting. The recently certified state tax rate is 93.34-cents. County budget committee chairman Butch Shelton said his proposal will be to round that off to 94-cents and add 1.5-cents to it for a new tax rate of 95.5-cents. “We budget conservatively,” Shelton said. “Both revenues and expenses are moving targets and we try to hit it.” He believes small increases in the tax rate now might prevent larger increases later on. “The commissioners will have the option.

Insight & Opinion June 1st marked TN Statehood Day
Clayburn Peeples reports: (continued from last week) One of the greatest dangers facing Tennessee’s request for admission to the union of states in 1796 was that of delay. Every month our statehood was denied meant a greater chance that the area that is now Tennessee would be broken up into two or more states, rather than a single one. Indeed, many people argued that it should be, from the beginning. Nevertheless, when the Tennessee settlers who drafted our first constitution sent it to Congress they were so certain that the state would be admitted into the Union that they went ahead and chose senators and representatives, elected a governor and set up a state government, secure in the knowledge that they had acted legitimately in doing so. They even sent our two first senators, William Blount and William Cocke, to Philadelphia, to represent Tennessee among senators representing what our state founders knew were soon to be our sister states. But when the two presented what they thought to be their credentials to the Senate in early May of that year the door was literally slammed in their faces. Several days later, the Senate condescended to
allow the two to come inside and observe, but not to take part in any proceedings until the question of Tennessee’s petition for statehood was finally decided. While there was little question that Tennessee would be admitted into the Union at some point, the question of when was a very real, and serious one. 1796 was an election year, and there were two political parties vying for control of the country. The Federalists, founded by Alexander Hamilton, were a business oriented party centered primarily in the Northeast, and they were being opposed by a new party headed by Thomas Jefferson who called themselves Republicans. (They were not the same party as Republicans today.) Knowing that George Washington was not going to serve another term, both parties were maneuvering for any advantage they could get, and the Federalists feared that the backwoods Tennesseans would sympathize with Jefferson’s Republican ideas, so they attempted to delay Tennessee’s admission until after the election. To that end, they put up one objection after another to Tennessee’s admission. They complained about our constitution. They argued
that Tennesseans had jumped the gun by forming itself into a state before Congress had actually created it, and they claimed to not trust our census because it was not conducted by federal officials. Finally, some opponents argued that the geography of the proposed state, given the difference in terrain and climate across the territory, made trying to make one single state out of it an absurdity. In the House of Representatives, which was controlled by Jefferson’s Republican supporters, the statehood measure passed quickly and easily, but in the Senate, where Federalists had a majority, the bill was at first refused, because the Federalists, thought, correctly it turned out, that the Tennesseans would cast their votes in the 1796 election for the Federalists’ opponents, the then Republican Party. That being the case, they wanted to stall Tennessee’s admission until after that election. Since they controlled the Senate, they could have done so. But, back then Congress, knowing how fragile a republic can be, also the meaning of the word “compromise.” Luckily, they reached one, that spring, regarding Tennessee’s fate. They finally agreed that

what some consider the very best part of the state, West Tennessee, from the Chickasaw Indians. With that purchase, Tennessee was finally complete. But during the spring of 1796, the idea of a Tennessee stretching from the magnificent mountains of East Tennessee to the Mighty Mississippi was but barely a dream. A dream that almost didn’t come true, but thank goodness it did, and instead of ignoring that, we ought to be celebrating it. Every year.
Pages from the Past 10 YEARS AGO June 17, 2004 The Dyer Station Celebration is sponsoring ‘Fashions Through the Years’ on July 1st. Melissa Langston and Mandi Armstrong, organizers of this event, are asking for your help. They are looking for pre-1980 wedding dresses, bridemaids’ dresses, armed forces uniforms, formals, cocktails dresses, cheerleading uniforms or any older attire to be modeled at the fashion show. Since this past spring, Jennifer Hendon, co-owner of J&W Hardware in Trenton, has taken on the job as Director of Gibson County Area 23 Special Olympics. She has plenty of experience with special-needs children as she has two of her own; daughters Danielle and Jennifer Ray. Hendon first became involved in Special Olympics three years ago via educator Kim Fowler at Gibson County High School. Gibson County was in Special Olympics District Seven with seven other counties at the time. The counties all have their own district now so that more special-needs athletes are able to participate without having to travel longer distances to events. The traveling distance can be a problem for some of the special-needs participants. Dyer City officials approved the first reading of several ordinances at Monday night’s meeting including the city budget. The first reading of ordinance 2004-138 to adopt the 2004-2005 annual city budget for $2,979,774
was approved. A Second reading is required. Mayor Walton ‘Sam’ Thompson thanked all board members and department personnel for their hard work on the budget and for keeping spending down. 25 YEARS AGO June 22, 1989 Governor Ned McWherter has proclaimed June 25 – July 2 as Safety Week in Tennessee in order to help reduce the number of injuries and deaths in the workplace and community through greater awareness. The event is being co-sponsored by the Tennessee Department of Labor’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health (TOSHA) and the Middle Tennessee Chapter of the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE). State Education Commissioner Charles Smith recently honored more than 100 top performing high school graduates who were selected as members of the Tennessee Honors Class of 1989. Jason Reed Pratt of Dyer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Pratt, was the only Gibson Countian selected. The United States Achievement Academy announced today that Jenny McGarrity had been named a United States National Award winner in foreign language. This award is a prestigious honor very few students can ever hope to attain. The Academy recognizes less than 10% of all American high school students. 50 YEARS AGO June 18, 1964 Ill health is forcing Horace Wilson to give up a banking career of 54 years duration

He will be succeeded as executive officer of the bank by Glenn Thompson, 28, cashier for the Mason Hall Bank at Kenton, the Board of Directors of the Bank of Dyer announced today. A certificate piano recital will be given by Mrs. Sara Jane Gulledge Poore, Miss Pat Selph, and Miss Mary Nelle Thomas at 8 Friday night, June 19, at the Dyer Cumberland Presbyterian Church under the direction of Mrs. George B. Robinson, music teacher. They will be assisted by Miss Anita Carol Raines, pianist. A 1936 graduate of old Memphis State Teachers College has returned to Memphis State University to become the seventh member of the young MSU School of Law. Clyde L. Ball, originally from Rutherford and son of Mrs. Zula Ball of Kenton, began teaching classes this week, according to school of law Dean Robert Doyle Cox, who announced his appointment to the faculty.

agreement on May 31, and the following day, June 1, 1796, Pres. George Washington signed the Tennessee Statehood Bill. Tennessee thus became the nation’s 16th state, and immediately became one of its leading states, growing tenfold and producing two presidents over the next half century. The new state would also endure and prosper in other ways as well. Two decades later, in 1818, it would increase its land area by more than a third by buying

Tennessee would join the union immediately, but until after the election of 1800 the new state would only be entitled to one congressman instead of the two it would have otherwise deserved. That meant, of course, that instead of four electoral votes in the 1796 election, Tennessee would have only three. That was really the only thing the Federalists cared about, and with that concession, they agreed on Tennessee’s admission. They reached their

City ditch in Kenton from page 1 Johns said, “We all voted on the drawing by the engineer. The city guys have done exactly what he drew. There is a hole where the catch basin was. Rainwater is coming out there from one way and then more water is coming from the other way. She (Dvorak) is losing her yard. An engineer can draw anything but that doesn’t mean it will work. She now
has a monster hole in her front yard.” Dvorak said, “Everyone on the board has said they don’t want a hole like that in their front yard.” Dvorak has asked that a culvert be placed in her front yard at the city’s expense and the ditch covered up. She wants the problem fixed and her yard to look decent. Simpson said they can not do that. If they did everybody
else in town will want the same. She would have to pay for the culvert. The board discussed possible solutions but in the end, Simpson made a motion to have Mayor Davidson call the engineer and have him come back and look at it again. The engineer, Bill Safin, did come last Friday and looked at the work that has been done, but his recommendation was not available at press time.
County Commissioners from page 1 a little (tax increase) now, maybe they won’t have to do a lot later,” Shelton said. The 1.5-cent increase will generate about $115,000, which will help the county keep revenues better in line with expenses. Roughly, Shelton says, the county expenditures are $300,000 over the revenues. Variables in revenue and expenses are the moving targets. Workers
compensation costs and Medicare payments are two variables. Medicare is always slow to pay the county, Shelton says. Commissioners will be asked to approve budget transfers involving salary line items for the Gibson County general fund beginning May 2014. Several revisions to 2014-15 budget worksheets will be submitted for approval. The total budget is
$15.36 million. The worksheet shows expenses over revenue at $444,850. Budget appropriations will also be submitted for approval. Commissions will discuss the state’s Drug FreeWorkplace program and insurance. A resolution adopting a county alcohol and drug abuse policy will be considered. Also to be considered is the Gibson County Jumpstart Scholarship funding.

Cunningham is Relay For from page 1 that Monday morning and she was never the same. Then on that Thursday, she was gone.” She died surrounded by her children, extended family, and close friends. ‘Gran,’ as she was known by those that loved her, lived life to its fullest. Abbott said, “She wasn’t one to put her cancer in the spotlight. She wasn’t going to let it slow her down. She lived for her family.” Her granddaughter, Victoria Abbott, is competing as Miss Parsons in the Miss Tennessee pageant in June, which happens to be the same night as relay. Her platform is Breast Cancer Awareness. Gran was honored to have been named Honorary Chair, but she wasn’t going to miss seeing her ‘Queen P’ walk across the Miss Tennessee stage.
Cancer is such an unbiased killer. It doesn’t matter your skin color, age, IQ, or gender. It will attack anyone at any time. The best you can do is be prepared. Go for yearly checkups, use sun screen, don’t smoke, and always be your best advocate! Cancer can only be conquered through continued research. Make your plans to celebrate ‘Gran’s’ life as well as so many others who have been taken by this disease and the many survivors who have
beat this terrible disease by attending the Gibson-North Relay for Life June 20 in Rutherford.

YARD ERODING - Since repairs began on the above ditch on Tilghman Street in Kenton, the front yard at the home of Sherry Dvorak has been eroding away. The Kenton board held a emergency meeting last Tuesday and decided to have the engineer come back and reevaluate the problem. The engineer came last Friday but his recommendations were not available at press time.
Vendors ready for DSC from page 1 “Brenda was having a yard sale at her house. She had some tables she was going to put in the yard sale and I said let’s paint them first. That is how we got started,” said Patty. “We do end tables, coffee tables, chairs and benches. We will have some of these items at the craft fair.” They have a carpenter break down the old beds to their specifications and turn them into beautiful benches that they hand paint with ‘chalk paint.’ Chalk paint is regular paint with either plaster of Paris, soda or ground chalk added to water and then mixed into the paint. It gives an aged, chalky appearance. Patty said it dries really fast and if you don’t like the way it turns out you can paint over it. The pair really let their creativity go wild. After painting something one color, they might add a coat of another and the lightly sand it so both show through. Brown can be added for shading, then lightly sanded again. This gives the piece a ‘distressed’ look, said Crawford. Stafford and Crawford find tables, chairs, beds, etc., at yard sales, thrift shops, flea markets and even dumpsters. They take

things that nobody wants anymore and might consider trash, and turn them into beautiful treasures. The cost of making the repurposed benches can add up. They have to pay a carpenter and buy their paint. Instead of buying chalk paint, they make their own, which saves
some money on the cost. They say their benches are not ‘pricey.’ If anyone has a piece of furniture they want painted, Stafford and Crawford will do it for you. They plan to have several items to choose from at the Arts & Crafts in the Park on July 4th so be sure and check out their booth!

Community Living Bethpage By Joyce Brown We had another big crowd for Sunday services. Tina and Janice began with ‘I Stand in Awe’ for quiet music and call to worship was ‘Jesus, Something About That Name.’ Our welcome hymn was ‘This is our Father’s World.’ Logan did a good job conducting the choir in the absence of Frankie who went to church with his children and Charles who was in Indiana. Bro. Jeff talked to the big group of Preacher’s Pals about their fathers’ love and the love of the Heavenly Father. The fathers in attendance were recognized and presented gifts. Our plate offering was taken to benefit the Tennessee Adult Homes. Brock had our special music singing a very emotional ‘Lord I Want to be Just Like You.’ Healways blesses us with his beautiful voice. Bro. Jeff preached on the subject ‘A Godly Man’ taking his text from Psalms 1:1-6, Rom 15:4 and James 1:8. Christy Griggs had a birthday last week so we sang to her. Jean Littleton
is smiling really big these days as Steve and his family have moved back to Tennessee due to God’s call for a pastorate near Clarksville. We missed Jean this Sunday as she went with Dennis’ family on a trip to Hilton Head. Guess she is enjoying the sand and surf. Charles and Peggy were out of town as well. They went to Indiana for their granddaughter’s graduation and to visit family and friends. We pray for safe journeys for all the travelers. Ron and Dot Sellers were in Memphis to spend Father’s Day with their children. Sympathy and prayers go out to our friend Judy Thompson Cantrell in the loss of her husband, Glen who passed away this weekend. We’re praying for continued sunshine so the wheat harvest can get underway. God always provides. Thought for the week: If the whole purpose of our lives is to become more like Christ, then we need real soul friendships in that process.
Kenton News By Cindy Lamar We had a most beautiful weekend in which to celebrate our fathers. All across our fair city children, young and old were busy Sunday giving honor to their fathers. Many meals, cards, gifts, phone calls, visits and hugs and kisses were shared with the special men in our lives we call ‘Dad, Daddy, and Father.’ Happy Father’s Day! Tim and Sharon Lamar and Trevor and Kennedy of Millington, met Cindy and Ronnie Lamar and Amanda and Pierce McAlister in Humboldt last Sunday evening for dinner at the Wall Street Grill. Following a great time of fellowship over a delicious meal they continued their visit in Kenton at the Lamar home sharing stories of days gone by. Former Kentonian, Janna Norton was united in marriage last Friday to Mark
Layne of Jackson. The couple and their family will make their home in Jackson. We wish them all the best in their life together and offer our heartfelt Congratulations! Food for thought: To this little girl he stood so tall, I thought ‘There’s nothing he can’t do.’ He was so strong and just had that look, he was quite handsome, too. He held my hand to cross the street, he kept me safe from harm. ‘Twas there for each special event of my life as I quickly grew. I owe a lot to this dear man for the love he showed to me. Suffice to say, words fall so short, but Dad I wish you a Happy Father’s Day! Prayer list: Freddie Simmons, Jolene Keymon, Jackie Hatch, Henry Herane, Jesse and Elaine Davidson, Bobby and Carol Primrose, and Clint McLodge.
New Hope News By Shirley Hooper Wednesday evening Richard Hartsfield led our monthly business meeting. Our minister, Brother Corey Meggs spoke on ‘Turning the world upside down’ from acts 17:2-10. They declared another king had come beside Caesar, his name is Jesus. We were challenged to put love in action, outside of the church building. This reminds us we are saved to serve. Sunday morning all fathers were honored with a gift. Brother Terry Owens sang, ‘It is true, I can hear the Angels singing.’ Brother Corey preached on ‘Staying true to the Holy Spirit, baptism by one Spirit’ from I Corinthians 12: 12-20. Just as we are born as part of a family, when we are born again we are part of the body of believers, the Church. There is a closeness, a commitment. Everyone is needed. The miserable ones are those who know what God has for them to do but will not do it. Serve God
with what you have where you are. Sunday evening Brother Corey spoke on ‘Great Expectations’ from II Corinthians 4: 13-18. We are looking forward to this new body, personal resurrection, reunion with God and loves ones who have gone on, and a powerful revival. We must hear a word from god daily, so read your Bible. For Father’s Day all the men made a delicious cake which we were glad to sample. There were all kinds. We voted on the most creative, which was won by Andy King who made his cake like a church complete with steeple. Best tasting winners were David McEwen and Bill Minton who tied. There were all very good. Ever wonder why the Bible had lasted through the centuries? It is the treasure map that leads us to God’s highest treasure, Eternal Life.
Mason Hall FCE Club The Mason Hall Family and Community Education Club met recently at the community center. The hostesses for this month were Marilee Little and Pat Hurt. President Frances Allen welcomed 15 women, 6 men, 1 visitor and Obion County Extension agent, Benita Giffin. After recitation of the club creed and Pledge of Allegiance, Mrs. Allen read the thought for the day, “Your companions are like the buttons on an elevator. They will either take you up or take you down.” Bennie Patterson read Deuteronomy 6:6-7 in honor of Fathers day. She also read a small piece titled, “Impact of a loving father.” Many people were remembered and lifted up in prayer. The Secretary and Treasurer reports were read and approved. Club members went over the clubs communications, shut-in visits, and social services. The club was recently invited to the Crystal Club’s Spring Luncheon. A few
members were able to attend. The theme of the get together was ‘Jell-o.’ The ladies learned there was actually a variety of different ways to use jell-o, aside from the usual dessert dish. Members had a great time and enjoyed their visit. Due to the month of August being full with the fair and other activities the club decided to skip the July meeting and have the August meeting at the end of July. Mrs. Giffin’s program this month was about strength training. The ladies learned that there are many benefits to strength training. A few of those benefits include reducing signs and symptoms in numerous diseases and chronic conditions, providing arthritis relief, restoring balance and reducing falling, and providing proper weight maintenance. The club meets the 1st Thursday of each month. Visitors and new members are always welcome.

Pharmacy & Your Health Who should Take a Daily Aspirin Heart attacks and strokes are leading causes of death in the United States for both men and women. Preventable risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, and smoking. People can lower their risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke by treating their medical conditions, eating healthier, quitting smoking and being physically active. Some people can reduce their risk by taking a daily aspirin. Aspirin works to protect the heart by preventing blood clots. Clots can block blood flow in heart and brain. Clots in the heart and brain can cause heart attack and strokes, respectively. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends a daily aspirin to prevent heart attacks and stroke when the benefit outweighs the risk. However, aspirin is not safe for everyone. It can cause stomach irritation and bleeding. Low dose (81 mg) aspirin has the smallest risk of causing bleeding. It is the recommended dose for most people who should take aspirin daily. The USPSTF recommends aspirin for men 45-79 to help reduce heart attack risk. They recommend aspirin for women age 55-79 to help reduce stroke risk. Aspirin is not recommended for men less than age 45 or women less then age 55. It is important to talk to your doctor before starting a daily aspirin.

McLemore of Milan filled in for him. Chloe Bell blessed our hearts Sunday morning singing ‘In my Father’s Eyes’ for the special. There was no service Sunday night to let people enjoy time with their Dad. Those having birthdays this week: Shirley Hester, Wanda Belew, Kelly Tucker, Nathan Russell, Callum Bogardus and Matt Wilson. ‘A man should never be ashamed to own that he has been wrong, which is but saying in other words that he is wiser today then he was yesterday.’ Until next week, God bless.
Our Sunday school hour began with everyone singing the hymn ‘Jesus Loves Me.’ Felichia Fields opened us in prayer. We all dismissed to our classes. Keith Hamlin opened the adult class in prayer. Christy Skelton taught us our lesson ‘When You Want to Blame Others’ from Ezekiel 18. God holds every person accountable for his or her sins, yet He graciously gives new life to anyone who repents. Bro. John Fields closed us in prayer. Our Sunday morning worship hour began with Elaine Fields playing the piano and Mike Fields and the church choir leading us in our offertory hymn ‘Glory to His Name.’ Bro. John Fields opened services in prayer. Rejoice in the Lord always. Bro. Steve welcomed everyone and made our announcements. We recognized Father’s Day with all father’s in the church joining together at the front of the church where they were given book markers and pens. Tonya Fields also led in prayer over all these
fathers. We had a time of giving our praise reports and enjoying our time of meet and greet. Bro. Steve and Krisha White blessed us with our special music as they sang ‘Sorry I Never Knew You.’ The choir then led the congregation in the hymns ‘Kneel at the Cross’ and ‘When I See the Blood.’ Children’s church was dismissed to Jennifer Fields. Bro. Steve delivered our morning message ‘Wisdom’ from the scriptures of Proverbs 1:8-33. Keith Hamlin dismissed services in prayer as the hymn ‘Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus’ was sung. Father’s Day was the day to returned our filled Baby Bottle for Birth Choice. We thank all who were able to give. We encourage you to bring your children to Keely Mill this Saturday June 21 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. We are getting ready for a big day of VBS. There will be lots of activities, games, music, devotionals and lunch for all children who attend. Everyone is welcome.
Sunday School for Shut-Ins By Mary King When you’re ready please read Mark 16: 9-10. She worshipped the Christ who had changed her heart. Mary waited even though she couldn’t see Him. He had saved her and she wouldn’t leave him. Mary of Magdala waited at the last place she’d seen Jesus. Mary was crying as she waited. He had not left her. He hadn’t forsaken her. He loved her just as He loves you now. For God so loved the whole world. She looked into the tomb and saw 2 angels. The angels asked her, ‘Woman, why are you crying?’ Mary said, ‘Someone has taken away my Lord and I don’t know where they have put Him.’ Now the concert of galaxies continued up to this point, but then it was time for Jesus to present Himself to the Father of Lights, our Father of our God (James 1:17, Matthew 6:9). God stopped the earth when Jesus said to Mary, ‘Woman, why are you crying We know this because Jesus was on His way to present Himself to teh Father as our High Priest. Now Jesus wouldn’t be late in presenting Himself to Father God (Hebrews 9:24). So when Jesus stopped in the garden,
God stopped the earth to stop time. Jesus is our one perfect High Priest who gave Himself so we can be presented to the Father in the righteousness of God (Colossians 1:22; 2 Corinthians 5:21). She though He was the gardener. None of the disciples were expecting Jesus to be alive. So she said, ‘sir, if you took Him away, tell me where He is and I will go get Him/’ She didn’t understand until Jesus said her name. ‘Mary.’ She knew him then and she worshipped Him in Person. He said, ‘Don’t cling to me. I have not ascended to the Father but I am now. You go and tell the disciples I am alive!’ Mary went and told the other disciples (John 20:1-18). God looked on the heart and the heart of worship got God’s attention to the point of causing the galaxies to cease expanding as creation waited for Jesus to comfort just one, young or old, male or female, just one. Creation was not too big for God. He started it all. Then He stopped the galaxies from expanding and the seasons from changing – just for one. The same hand that divided the Red Sea stopped the concert of galaxies for just one.

Gibson Co. Library kicks off Summer Reading Program The Summer Reading Program is in full swing and there are even more exciting programs this year. The Summer Reading Program kicked off on June 4th with a special program presented by Billy Porter and Jenni Lynn Rachels from Gibson Electric. Porter taught the participants how important it is to take precautions whenever you are dealing with electricity and how dangerous electricity can be if you are not careful. After the program, participants were invited to enjoy hot dogs, chips, drinks, sno cones and popcorn. There were also four big jumpers to choose from. On Thursday, June 5th, local author Natalie Wade braved the storms to introduce her book, Lily’s Feather Kite, at a special story time. Wade read her book and explained how important it is to keep trying and never give up on your dreams, just like Lily did
in her story. After the story, participants were able to make their own bird shaped kite. On June 10th, Jane Tyree hosted a jewelry program for adults and teens. She began by speaking about different ways to design jewelry and talked about the different materials that can be used in the process. Each participant got to design two different sets of earrings. The program was a success and the creative side of all of the participants was revealed. On June 11th, Mr. Bond brought different kinds of neat science experiments to show the children, many of which got to participate in the experiments. The children learned about sound waves, the difference in solids, liquids, and gases, and about different kinds of pressure. The highlight of the program had to be when some of the volunteers got to play with Mr. Bond’s
voice changing machine. The Summer Reading Program is halfway to the end but there are still have some neat programs for all ages. Programs are as follows: Tuesday, June 17th and Thursday June 19th- 5:30 p.m. - 7 p.m. Crochet Classes (both classes will make scarves and participants will need to bring their own sashay material and an H crochet hook). Wednesday, June 18th10 a.m. Magical Mink the Magician · Monday, June 23rd- All contest entries and teen reading logs must be turned in no later than 6 p.m. in order to qualify for prizes. Wednesday, June 25th - 10 a.m.- awards and sprinklers (teens will need to be present for the drawing of their prizes) Tuesday, July 15th- 1 p.m. – 2:30 p.m.- Step-ByStep Drawing Class.

Keep communication positive BY: DEBORAH H. SEWARD UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE EXTENSION AGENT Between hectic extracurricular activities, long work days and maintaining the home, it is challenging for families to find time to communicate. With our busy lives, it has never been more important than now to focus on healthy connections. Here are some simple suggestions to maintain good family conversation: • Any time is a good time: Take any opportunity to talk with your loved ones. Take advantage of travel time. The car is the perfect opportunity to ask about your child’s day. • In-depth Questions: Try to stay away from closedended questions leading
to “yes” or “no” answers. Rephrase questions that children can answer with details. Instead of asking, “Did you have gym class today?” try, “Tell me about your favorite part of gym class today.” • Honesty: If you want your children to be honest with you, you also have to be honest with your children. This will help create trust. • Use “I” statements: Whenever there is conflict, it can be hard not to get upset, frustrated, or even yell. The use of “I” versus “You” statements allows for clear communication because no blame is put on others and allows you to express how a situation made you feel. For example, ‘I get really worried when..’ • Listen: Listening to
your children or partner shows you are interested in what they are telling you. Stop what you are doing and concentrate on the conversation. A part of listening is hearing what children or others are saying and you responding to what they say. Creating moments for communication opens the door for closer bonds, help when conflicts arise and create a better understanding of one another. The University of Tennessee and Tennessee State University Extension Services offer equal opportunities in programs and employment. Please contact the Gibson County Extension office at 731855-7656 for comments or inquiries.

Running a great Sheriff ’s Office involves a lot more than just catching and incarcerating criminals who prey on our county. It also means doing so as economically as possible, keeping our taxes lower as a result. For 7 years Chuck Arnold has worked diligently to cut costs and save our tax dollars without sacrificing service to our citizens. Let’s look at some of the progress: • Inmate food costs have remained reasonable even as our grocery prices have gone through the roof. • Medical costs have been substantially reduced and inmates are held more accountable for their own medical services. • Inmate housing cost reimbursement from the state of TN consistently increased, thus reducing the burden on Gibson County. • Inmate work crews are on the job daily and are safely supervised while saving our communities tax dollars. • County wide dispersal of deputies thereby reducing both response time and gasoline costs for answering calls. • No new deputies hired despite an ever increasing work load. Chuck Arnold understands Tax Dollars and Law Enforcement. Let’s keep him where he can use both to “Keep Gibson County Safe”.
Come join our ‘Christian Olympics.’ Let’s learn how to run the race with God! Classes through 9th grade. Adult Class Friday night only.

Greetings from the Lowrance Chapel church of Christ! We ask that you continue to pray for Max Betts, Carlene Meadows, Regina Inman, Chase Kemp, Jean Harris, and Modeen Pierce. I came across this past week this writing from a child, and I believe it is a message every adult should read, because children are watching you and doing as you do, not as you say. When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately wanted to paint another one. When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you feed a stray cat, and I learned that it was good to be kind to animals. When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you make my favorite cake for me and I learned that the little things can be the special things in life. When you thought I wasn’t looking, I heard you say a prayer, and I knew there is a God I could always talk to and I learned to trust in God. When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you make a meal and take it to a friend who was sick, and I learned that we all have to help take care of each other.
When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you give of your time and money to help people who had nothing and I learned that those who have something should give to those who don’t. When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you take care of our house and everyone in it and I learned we have to take care of what we are given. When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw how you handled your responsibilities, even when you didn’t feel good and I learned that I would have to be responsible when I grow up. When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw tears come from your eyes and I learned that sometimes things hurt, but it’s all right to cry. When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw that you cared and I wanted to be everything that I could be. When you thought I wasn’t looking, I learned most of life’s lessons that I need to know to be a good and productive person when I grow up. When you thought I wasn’t looking, I looked at you and wanted to say, “Thanks for all the things I saw when you thought I wasn’t looking.” Let each of us realize the impact of our actions. Have a great week!

Gibson County football team completes second annual Operation Victory Camp BY SFC TODD CARSON The second annual Operation Victory took place this year at the Lavinia National Guard Training Center from June 2nd through June 4th. The purpose of the operation, planned and executed by SGT Bo Pate and SFC Todd Carson, was to instill team work and leadership skills in the young men of the Gibson County High School football team. After arriving at LTC, the Pioneers exited the bus and were organized into a platoon formation with four squad leaders, platoon
sergeant and team first sergeant. Gibson County squad leaders were Brayden Williams, Jordan Carpenter, Justin Richardson, and Jercolby Milan. The Platoon Sergeant was Josh Bailey and first sergeant was Jake Siler. Each squad had an equal mix of freshman, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. After each player was issued their linen, they were marched to their barracks where they made their bunks and changed for a physical training test. The PT test allowed them
the opportunity to measure themselves physically and cheer for other team mates to encourage them to do their best. After the PT test each player received a block of instruction on the M16/ M4 rifle and was taken to the EST 2000, a weapons and firing simulator. Each player engaged targets under various scenarios. After the EST 2000, the players were taken to the Urban Assault Course. The UAC is a three level building designed for soldiers to train on building clearing and rescue missions. Each player

received a paintball gun and was given instructions. The coaches were the opposing forces or “OP4” that the players engaged as they entered the building. The second day the players went to the ROTC obstacle course at the University of Tennessee at Martin. The players had to face five obstacles this year. Army obstacle courses are used to familiarize soldiers with the kind of tactical movement they may face in combat. Also, it’s used for physical training, team work, and problem solving. All players had to overcome
their fear of heights and fatigue while negotiating each obstacle. All players tackled each obstacle encouraging each other and making sure everyone gave it their best. After the obstacles, the players were again challenged by the truck push. Each squad pushed a Ford F150 pickup with their coaches in the back to add a little weight ¼ mile up hill. This group competition proved to be one of the hardest and exhausting events of the weekend. On the third and final day, players were given a
brief block of instruction on types of patrols and given the opportunity to display their new knowledge. With OP4 in place the teams negotiated their way through trails and dense woods only to find themselves being ambushed. Each group worked well together to complete the mission. At the end of the day the team worked together to clean the barracks and were bussed back to Gibson County High School, a much stronger and more effective team than when they arrived at the Operation Victory Training.

BY LORI CATHEY The Southgate Public Range in Lavinia, TN was the site of the 2014 Tennessee Scholastic Clay Target Program Sporting Clays Regional Championship. Gibson County Pioneers competed against over 30 teams from Carroll County, Dyer County, Obion County, South Gibson County and Weakley County High Schools to name a few. In trap shooting, the targets are launched from a single “house” or machine, generally away from the shooter. A shooter prepares by bringing the gun to the

shoulder and shouting “pull.” A target is released from a hidden center location. The clay “bird” flies at 76 feet a second and the trap shooter squeezes the trigger from a 16-yard station but can also shoot from 27 yards and any distance in between. It is designed to simulate hunting flying game birds and is shot in squads of two to six shooters. Gibson County’s Alex Guzman and Justin Richardson both tied for the highest score with an 87 and Sarah Dodd and Tyner Hughes both shot an 86. Senior Andrew Hughes shot an 85 and in the Junior Varsity division Gibson
County’s Joshua Richardson shot a 59 and Olivia Hunt a 55. This year’s team has 13 members ranging from freshman to seniors and all have graduated the Tennessee Hunter Education Course. Corey Kesterson and Jay Richardson are the team’s coaches. They are volunteers and have been through a three-day NRA coached class. Gibson County’s next competition will be the Tennessee Scholastic Clay Target Program Sporting Clays State Championship, June 20 and June 21, at the Nashville Gun Club in Nashville.

Pioneer baseball team starts summer league play BY LORI CATHEY Gibson County 2015 baseball team is already preparing for next year’s season by playing in the 2014 High School Summer League. The Pioneers faced AA Crockett County this past
Friday afternoon at Alamo. The Pioneers lost 2 to 0 in five innings. Sophomore Hunter Copper got the first hit for Gibson County in the third inning and Josh London had a hit up the middle in the fifth inning. Staring pitcher Mac
Hicks pitched 2 1/3 innings allowing no hits, struck out 3 and walked 3 batters. Nick Wylie pitched 2 2/3 innings gave up 2 hits and no walks. The summer league gives players the chance to play against other district
teams in scrimmage games, intra-squad practices and scrimmages with other county schools. The league also allows the coaches to be a little more hands on and gives them the chance to work with prospects for next spring’s teams.

Rutherford Water System Water Quality Report for 2013 Is my drinking water safe? Yes, our water meets all of EPA’s health standards. We have conducted numerous tests for over 80 contaminants that may be in drinking water. As you’ll see in the chart on the back, we only detected seven of these contaminants. We found all of these contaminants at safe levels. What is the source of my water? Your water, which is ground water, from a sand aquifer. Our goal is to protect our water from contaminants and we are working with the State to determine the vulnerability of our water source to potential contamination. The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) has prepared a Source Water Assessment Program (SWAP) Report for the untreated water sources serving water to this water system. The SWAP Report assesses the susceptibility of untreated water sources to potential contamination. To ensure safe drinking water, all public water systems treat and routinely test their water. Water sources have been rated as reasonably susceptible, moderately susceptible or slightly susceptible based on geologic factors and human activities in the vicinity of the water source. The Rutherford Water System sources rated as reasonably susceptible to potential contamination. An explanation of Tennessee’s Source Water Assessment Program, the Source Water Assessment summaries, susceptibility scorings and the overall TDEC report to EPA can be viewed online at www.tn.gov/environment/water/water-supply_source-assessment.shtml or you may contact the Water System to obtain copies of specific assessments. A wellhead protection plan is available for your review by contacting Eddie Watkins at the Rutherford Water System between 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. weekdays. Why are there contaminants in my water? Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). Este informe contiene información muy importante. Tradúscalo o hable con alguien que lo entienda bien. For more information about your drinking water, please call Eddie Watkins at 731-665-7166.

How can I get involved? Our Water Board meets on the third Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the Rutherford City Hall which is located at 206 East Main. Please feel free to participate in these meetings. Is our water system meeting other rules that govern our operations? The State and EPA require us to test and report on our water on a regular basis to ensure its safety. We have met all of these requirements. Results of unregulated contaminant analysis are available upon request. We want you to know that we pay attention to all the rules. Other Information The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and
can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water: · Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. · Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial, or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming. · Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses. · Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems. · Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA and the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation prescribe regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. Do I Need To Take Special Precautions? Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about not only their drinking water, but food preparation, personal hygiene, and precautions in handling infants and pets from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). Lead in Drinking Water If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. Rutherford Water System is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead Water System Security Following the events of September 2001, we realize that our customers are concerned about the security of their drinking water. We urge the public to report any suspicious activities at any utility facilities, including treatment plants, tanks, fire hydrants, etc. to 731-692-3714.

MCLG - Maximum Contaminant Level Goal, or the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. MCL - Maximum Contaminant Level, or the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. To understand the possible health effects described for many regulated constituents, a person would have to drink 2 liters of water every day at the MCL level for a lifetime to have a one-in-a-million chance of having the described health effect. MRDL: Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level or MRDL: The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for the control of microbial contaminants. MRDLG: Maximum residual disinfectant level goal. The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants. AL - Action Level, or the concentration of a contaminant which, when exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow. Below Detection Level (BDL) - laboratory analysis indicates that the contaminant is not present at a level that can be detected. Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/l) – explained as a relation to time and money as one part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in $10,000. Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter - explained as a relation to time and money as one part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000. Picocuries per liter (pCi/L) - picocuries per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water. Million Fibers per Liter (MFL) - million fibers per liter is a measure of the presence of asbestos fibers that are longer than 10 micrometers. TT - Treatment Technique, or a required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.

The Spring HIll Fire Department is part of the Gibson County Visual Arts Association Quilt Trail. The quilt square was painted by Gibson County Visual Art Association members Jane Tyree, Candice Criswell, and Nell Lemings.It is called “Rising Star Six” and was installed in 2012. The Spring Hill Fire Department is very important to this community. Buddy Jernigan shared the following information about the building. The first fire truck used by the Spring Hill Fire Department was an old
Army surplus truck. It was housed in the basement of the Spring Hill School. The community felt the need for a fire department and so on April 15, 1992, the property was purchased for the building. Part of the property was donated by Bobby and Patsy Walker. During the summer of 1992, Curtis and James Inman donated their time and equipment to build the land up and level it. In August a contractor built the shell of the building. The department borrowed the money to complete the project and set it up to pay
off the note in 4 years. The community proudly paid it off in 21 months. The first community stew was held in the building in December 1992. At that time the wall between the meeting room and the equipment room was not completed. This building now houses three fire trucks and operates with volunteer firemen. The building is used for public meetings, and birthday parties, at no charge. They accept donations if the user desires. This community is very proud of their fire department/community building.
