Ham radio enthusiasts show skills at field day

BY LORI CATHEY Despite all the technology at our fingertips, every year towns across America find themselves in the dark. Storms, earthquakes, tornadoes, fires, ice and manmade disasters leave people without the means to communicate. Amateur radio is the one consistent service that has never failed. These amateur radio operators, often called hams, provide backup communications for government agencies, disaster relief organizations, public service events, emergencies or disasters and training exercises.

The Gibson County Wide Amateur Radio Club, in partnership with the Crockett County Amateur

Radio Club, joined with thousands of other amateur radio operators showing their emergency capabilities during the recently Field Day held at Spring Hill School between Central and Eaton.

Every year on the last weekend in June, operators in the United States and worldwide set up antennas and radios in a 24-hour exercise to test their radio skills. The American Radio Relay League, the national association for amateur radio, sponsors the annual event called ‘Field Day.’ During the field day both clubs operated various types of radio modes and everything was operated see page 3

Tyson Fire Station dedicated to late Fire Chief Mike Greene

BY LORI CATHEY On June 29, firefighters, friends and family gathered at Gibson County Tyson Fire Station #5 for a ceremony dedicating the station in memory of the late Tyson Fire Chief Mike Green. Greene died June 10, 2013 after a long illness. Firefighters also placed a marble plaque on the outside of the building in his honor.

Green was one of the founding fathers of the Tyson fire department. He and his family donated the land to build the fire station on in August of 1994. The first three or four meeting of the fire department was held in Mike’s farm shop kitchen. Tyson Store Fire Station

‘You really should try

#5 was built approximately 10 weeks later. Tyson Fire Department held its first meeting on October 13 in the new building.

“Green was the station’s only fire chief until his death.

He served from 1994-2013 in the department. Through his years of involvement, Green worked beside many firefighters and served as a mentor. He was instrumental in building the fire department.

“His whole life was serving his family, the community and the fire department and to have the station named after him is an exceptional honor that he deserves,” said Gibson County Fire Chief Bryan Cathey.

The Police Department renovations job was awarded to Absolute Construction and the CDBG Sewer Grant project was awarded to Suncoast in the June 23, 2014 meeting of the Dyer Board of Mayor and Alderpersons.

Those present for the meeting were Mayor Chris Younger, Alderpersons Judy Baker, Richard Reed, Belinda Oliver, Bitsy Gilliland, Joe Gathings, Michael Barron, Robert Johnson, and Marilyn Williamson. The City Attorney, Brandon Newman was present.

Mayor Younger stated that police department renovations bids had been opened at the Building Committee meeting. The bids received were as follows: •Absolute Construction for $22,700. (No bid was submitted with the garage) •PEGAS for $32,250 (No bid was submitted with the garage •Kris Johnson Construction for $29,000 without garage: $58,900 with garage.

Insight & Opinion The summer of the supermoon

Clayburn Peeples reports: As you may have noticed, the media, both electronic and print, have been paying lots of attention lately to the moon. There has been much talk, on the Internet, and even among certain religious leaders, about various moon related phenomena that have already occurred this year and what they might portend. So far, we’ve experienced supermoons, blue moons, Wiccan black moons, a blood moon eclipse at Passover, with another expected around the time of the Feast of Tabernacles, and two more expected next year at the same times. (Certain proponents of Christian prophesy see tremendous sinister significance in that.) Andwe’ve even had a Friday the 13th full moon.

All of this coincidental convergence of superstition and science has many people in a state of heightened moon awareness, if not downright nervousness.

And the

media, of course, is loving it; you may have noticed all the hype last weekend around what was described as a “supermoon.”

What was super about it?

It qualified as a supermoon because it reached fullness on the same day it reached perigee. (A moon is also considered a supermoon if it is a “new” moon on the same day as it reaches perigee. “Perigee” is the term astronomers use to denote the time when a celestial body traveling around the earth is closest, in its orbit, to us. And since the moon’s orbit is elliptical, rather than round, it is sometimes quite a bit closer to us than at others.

It reaches perigee once each time it circles the earth, but usually not at the same time as it is full.

At perigee, it is up to 30,000 miles closer to the earth that it is when it is at apogee, the point where it is farthest, in its orbit, from

the earth.

Actually, every full moon reaches fullness at a specific time of day rather than being full all day.

This previous weekend’s full moon, for example, occurred at 6:25 a.m., our time, so it was actually fuller on Friday night than it was on Saturday, it’s actual full moon date, but the media missed that point, and told us to go outside and see it Saturday night.

Why go out and see it at all? Because, due to it being closer than ever, it appeared larger and was brighter than ever as well, up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than other full moons of the year.

That sounds like a lot, but if you don’t look at the moon very often, you might not even notice the difference.

You might not, that is, unless, so psychologists tell us, you have been told beforehand that the moon would be larger and brighter than ever. Then, the very fact that you have been forewarned about it might make it appear that way.

Couple this with a phenomenon known as “moon illusion” and people who catch a super moon rising over a distant horizon will swear it’s the largest moon they’ve ever seen. For reasons not fully understood by astronomers or psychologists, low

The new vocational technical school at Newbern moved closer to its opening date this week when State Commissioner of Education J.H. Warf announced in Nashville the appointment of Marvin Russell Devore, vocational agriculture instructor at Ripley, as director of the school. A new building is under construction for the school and is expected to be completed in January, Warf said. The building will accommodate 250 to 400 students.

10 YEARS AGO July 15, 2004 The City of Dyer board of mayor and alderpersons adopted a resolution at Monday night’s meeting to set the real property, personal property and public utility tax rate for the year at $1.55 per hundred dollars assessed value. The rate was set by the Gibson County property assessor’s office and is down for last year’s rate of $.170 per hundred dollars.

Kenton Mayor Virginia Davidson and the Kenton City Board of Alderpersons agreed, in their regularly scheduled meeting of July 6th, that the White Squirrel Festival events were a great success.

Farmers and Merchants Bank of Rutherford held a ribbon cutting and grand opening celebration Friday, July 9th.

be a superduper moon in that it will reach fullness the very same hour that it reaches perigee. (Perigee and fullness are about 12 to 13 hours apart in the other two months.) Because of this, the supermoon in August will be approximately 863 miles closer to the earth than it was last weekend.

So if you missed last weekend’s show, don’t fret.

Mark your calendar for August 10, when it should be even better, and enjoy it.

Watch the moon rise bigger and brighter than you will probably ever see again. It won’t take much of your time at all. Just stop looking down at your smart phone for a few minutes and look at the sky instead.

You’ll be glad you did. I promise.

lunacy or earthquakes.

There’s no evidence of that either.

Also, supermoons are not really that rare; one usually comes up about every 13 months, but this year is unusual in that it features five supermoons. That has gotten people to talking. Two of the supermoons, both of them new moon perigees, occurred this past January, both in the same month. That’s unusual too. Then last weekend brought us the first full moon supermoon of the year, and it was the first of three such moons we will see in a row this summer. The next full moon is August 10, and that will be another supermoon, followed by a third on September 9.

hanging moons look larger when they are viewed through foreground objects such as trees.

The term “supermoon,” by the way, is not an astronomical one.

Astronomers refer to such moons as “perigean full moons” or “perigean new moons.” No, the term “supermoon” was coined by an astrologer in 1979, but it is only in the last few years, due to the Internet probably, that people have paid attention to it. Scientists don’t like the term, because they fear it leads people to believe the various misconceptions about supermoons, things such as the myth that such moons create monster tides.

Dyer board awards repair jobs from page 1 to accept all bids. The motion was approved.

A motion was made by Gilliland to award the police department renovation bid to Absolute Construction for $22,700. The motion was approved.

Mayor Younger relayed the recommendation from A2H, the city’s engineer, to award the CDBG Sewer Grant Project to Suncoast for $232,700. A motion was made by Williamson to award the Sewer Rehab Cured in Place Pipe contract to Suncoast for $232,700.

The motion was approved.

In Department Reports

Water Superintendent Randy Gregory reported that the Industrial Park water tank is leaking and needs to be repaired. Gregory has contacted two different contractors that specialize in this type of glass lined tank. This tank is also up for inspection. Gregory had one estimate in hand for $1,700 for repairs and inspection.

Inspection normally costs around $3,000 and Gregory is concerned that the estimate may not account for all the associated costs. A motion was made by Williamson to authorize up to $4,000 for repair and inspection of the Industrial Park water tank.

The motion was approved.

In Committee Reports Public Safety Committee Chair Baker thanked everyone who helped and attended Roy Morris’s reception.

Water and Sewer Committee Chair Williamson said that the total available funds for the CDBG sewer rehab are $259,900. The Suncoast bid was $232,700.

After discussions with the Wastewater Superintendent, Williamson hopes that a portion of the remaining $12,800 can be used to purchase an inspection camera system for $11,450.

The remaining $1,350 could be used to purchase supplies

Emerson seeks from page 1 “My reason for running for any office is to try and make my children’s lives better, because where we fail, our children will have to pay. I have had the honor of serving as alderman of Rutherford for one term and I learned a lot of things that can’t be taught. I learned of people’s fears more than their hopes. It was sad hearing of how people had to choose between water and electricity, food or gas.

There has to come a time when enough is enough. If every day American families have to stick to what they have, our government must learn to do the same, from local government all the way to Washington,” said Emerson.

“I ask for your vote, but more importantly I ask for your help. One commissioner, mayor, or

I love Gibson County and when my children grow up I want them to have the option to stay in the area they grew up in. But there first must be something to keep them here and our county must have some good jobs to offer. We are losing so many great people to other counties, who could help build up our towns.

Most new jobs are going to our neighboring counties.

I want that to change. So I will do what I can to help get jobs in Gibson County.

And I will be very clear on my stand to keep taxes from going up. If you and I have to cut back, then the county must do its part also. I ask for your vote and support in the August 7th, 2014 election,” said Emerson.

for the sewer machine.

Williamson also advised that there will be a tournament at the David Robinson Park with five-six teams per night. There have been concerns in the past about the pump at the park handling large crowds. The cost for portable toilets is $85 each (for the whole time) and $75 per cleaning. Mayor Younger suggested possibly digging a new field line for the existing, supplementary septic system. A motion was made by Williamson to authorize the rental of the portable toilets for the upcoming tournaments.

Williamson informed the board that a farmer damaged a fire hydrant on Old DyerRutherford Rd. It will have to be dug up and repaired, hopefully with only a gasket.

The City will attempt to

collect parts and labor expenses from the farmer who ran over the hydrant.

Finance and Administration Committee Chair Baker asked for a called board meeting to pass on second reading the 2013-2014 budget amendment, with a finance and administration committee meeting to follow.

(The meeting was held on Monday, June 30.)

Burt Hooper of Elm Street addressed the board on behalf of the Dyer Station Celebration Committee.

Hooper invited the board to participate in as many activities as possible during the upcoming Dyer Station Celebration, and especially to attend the parade. Hooper also reminded the board that they have traditionally made a donation to Dyer Station at this time of the year. Gilliland

made a motion to donate $1,000 to Dyer Station Celebration. The motion was approved.

Gilliland made a motion to approve a change order to the contract with CTR Coatings for manhole rehab for a final contract price of $24,348.

The motion was approved.

Gilliland made a motion to pass on first reading Ordinance 2014-223, an Ordinance to amend the 2013-2014 Annual Budget.

The motion was approved.

Gilliland made a motion to adopt resolution 2014208, a Resolution to Adopt a Continuing Appropriation and Budget for the Fiscal Year 2013-2014. The motion was approved.

A motion to pay the general accounts was made

by Gilliland. The motion was approved.

County adopts budget from page 1 years. He left the meeting early to attend to the funeral details of his wife, Betty, who died over the weekend.

Before leaving, Stults told the commissioners he had enjoyed serving with them.

“I made lots of friends.

And I’ve made some enemies but I didn’t mean to,” said Stults. His final vote was the lone ‘no’ vote on the 2014-15 budget.

He explained he was not against the employee raise, but wanted to see the 4-percent divided equally upon employees.

The raises included in the final approved budget will be administered by county elected officials to those in their respective departments as the officials see fit, but Stults wanted the raises across the board.

County Mayor Tom Witherspoon noted that the year Stults was first elected as a county commissioner, Witherspoon himself was only 18-months old.

Budget committee chairman Butch Shelton, a 16-year veteran of the commission also bade the commissioners farewell.

His final duties Monday included trying to convince the others to increase the tax rate to 94-cents, which he said would have only increased his personal taxes on six properties by $18.

Also approved with the budget were fundings for non-profits. The largest amount budgeted among the 11 non-profits was for the Patterson Training and Rehabilitation Center for $12,375. After hearing a plea and chastisement from local minister Paul Tucker, commissioners heard from Patterson’s director Harry Adcock.

Adcock said he had an unnamed contributor who would match $10 to $1 any amount over the scheduled county donation up to $30,000.

Commissioner Allen Barker asked if this promise

of matching funds was on the table today and Adcock assured it was.

Barker made a motion to increase the donation to $24,750 which is the amount the county at one time funded Patterson. By spending $3,000, the county will bring in $30,000 for the center, he noted. The amendment was approved by the commission after more debate.

Commissioner Keith Steele said citizens in his district support their own charities with their own money and do not want to be taxed for money going to charities.

The amended funding for non-profits was approved with Steele, Stults and Commissioner Greg Stone voting no.

The non-profit funding will require a second reading when the commission, with several new members, meets again in September.

More news from the July 14th Gibson County Commission meeting will be coming next week.

‘And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them, and they were sore afraid’ Luke 2:9 (KJV).

The angel of the Lord was the Pastor of the assembly of shepherds.

Everyone on earth has a personal leading angel (Matthew 18:10). Everyone on earth has an army of angels (2 Kings 6). When the angel of the Lord came to the shepherds, the glory

Pharmacy & Your Health Best Ways to Manage Panic Attacks Panic attacks are best described at sudden periods of extreme fear that lead to severe reactions in the body, when there is no apparent or real danger or harm. Some or all of the following symptoms may occur; feeling of impending danger, fast heart beat, sweating, very fast breathing, chills, hot flashes, nausea, headache, stomach cramps, feeling like fainting, and trouble swallowing. Researchers believe panic attacks could be caused by major stress, genetics, or changes in brain patterns. People who have experienced a traumatic event, unexpected changes to one’s lifestyle, or a family history of panic attacks may have a higher likelihood of experiencing attacks than the average person.

The best way to help manage panic attacks is by talking with a certified and experienced behavior psychologist. There are a few medications that may help manage symptoms.

SSRIs and SNRIs are classes of antidepressants that are FDA approved to help treat panic disorders. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) as a group are FDA approved to help treat panic disorders They include fluoxetine (Prozac), paroxetine (Paxil), and sertraline (Zoloft). Venlafaxine hydrochloride (Effexor XR) is a serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) that is also FDA-approves to help treat panic disorders.

of the Lord shone.

Who would announce that the Shepherd was born?

The angel of the Lord. Who would the angel of the Lord tell first? The shepherds.

God praises the birth. It must have been a glimpse of what praise looks like from and in heaven. The shepherds were very afraid so what would the angel do?

‘And the angel said unto them, Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all

people’ Luke 2:10 (KJV).

‘I bring you’ the angel said. We can see that the shepherds all have an assignment that is being presented to them.

Praise is the reasoning behind the celebration. The shepherds were watching their flock faithfully night after night, and day after day; when an angel announces good news to them, good tidings of great joy.

It must have been just he present they asked for.

Sometimes what we remember is not always what we left behind. With fear in our eyes sometimes we forget the promises of God. Some people hold on to the past so tightly they miss to embrace the future. We remember and chose good times.

Do not miss what God has for you today. Don’t look so far into the future and miss what God has for you today. There are no good days in a man’s life without Jesus Christ. Our soul is built for eternity and never meant to be satisfied in this life.

Gibson EMC send students on Washington youth tour A record number of young people from electric cooperative service areas in 43 states — including more than 150 students representing Tennessee co-ops — visited Washington, D.C., in June for the 2014 Washington Youth Tour, where they spent time with elected officials and took in the historic, interesting sites of our nation’s capital.

Sarah Terry, Gadsden; Braydon Hendrix, Medina; Melanie Johnson, South Fulton; Andrew Dougan, Gadsden; and Kelsey Davis, South Fulton, were rewarded with spots on the weeklong tour of D.C. for writing winning short stories titled “Electric Cooperatives: Serving Our Members Past, Present and Future.” They described how locally owned, membercontrolledelectriccooperatives continue improving lives in their service areas through special community-building programs, as well as reliable

and affordable electric service.

Matthew Lindsey, English teacher at South Gibson County High School, also was awarded a spot on the trip to recognize his invaluable support of the co-op’s youth programs.

The Washington Youth Tour is a joint effort of Gibson Electric Membership Corporation, the Tennessee Electric Cooperative Association and NRECA. This year’s tour ran June 13-19 and included meetings with elected officials, visits to Washington’s popular tourist stops and time to visit with winners representing other co-ops across the state. More than 1,600 youth attended from co-ops nationwide — topping the number of any previous event. Since 1964, more than 53,000 young people have joined the Washington Youth Tour.

The Youth Tour is one of the most rewarding things I do

all year,” said Gibson EMC Communications Specialist Jenni Lynn Rachels, who served as a chaperone. “These students not only learn about our nation and their electric cooperative, but they also learn leadership skills that will benefit them in college and beyond.”

“We are owned by our members, and it is so important that our members understand how that makes us different,” said Gibson EMC President and CEO Dan Rodamaker. “Our communities and our co-ops need strong leadership, and the Washington Youth Tour is one way we can help prepare students for the roles they may one day fill. The tour and similar educational opportunities made possible

by Gibson EMC are designed to help students understand what it takes to be a leader in their communities and why leadership is so important.”

First State Bank named top 50 comminuty bank Bank Leaders on social media First State has been named one of the top 50 Community Bank Leaders in Social Media by the ICBA (Independent Community Bankers of America). This is the second year that ICBA has named the top 50 banks on social media among the financial industry.

Nearly 6,500 community banks throughout the nation were eligible to be a part of ICBA’s list. Community banks were chosen based on their engagement with fans and followers, the content distributed on their social media platforms, the number of fans and or followers they have, and the frequency of posting new content.

“Consumers are expecting their financial institutions to have strong brand identity online. These top community banks and bankers understand that building a brand goes beyond just a physical presence- they

consistently introduce fresh content and interact with the customers,” said ICBA Executive Vice President/ Chief Marketing Officer Chris Lorence. “ICBA is proud to highlight these community banks and bankers who are making social media an integral part of their brand and communications strategy.

We congratulate them on their success.”

“We’re very honored to be recognized by ICBA. Social media has given First State a tool to tell our story in a creative and unique way.

Throughout Tennessee, our employees have great opportunities to partner with and be involved in the community. Social media gives us an avenue to share those community stories.

It also gives us a great channel to celebrate our First State family. Whether it be celebrating a company

anniversary, employee birthday, or professional accomplishment, social media allows us to recognize our staff to a broader audience. Angie DeGuira, marketing coordinator for First State, has done an exceptional job of launching and managing the company’s Facebook and LinkedIn pages. She is consistently coaching and encouraging our local offices to use Social Media to tell their community committed stories,” said Mitsie Witherspoon, marketing director for First State. “Social media has proven to be an outlet where we can show the fun and personal side of our company.”

IONA LEE BROWN BARRON

Trenton - Mrs. Iona Lee Brown Barron, 88, of Trenton, passed away from this life on July 10, 2014, at Jackson Madison County General Hospital. Funeral services for Mrs. Barron were conducted on Sunday, July 13, 2014, in the chapel of Karnes and Son Funeral Home of Dyer with Bro. John Coleman officiating. Interment followed in New Bethlehem Cemetery of Dyer.

Mrs. Barron was born March 10, 1926, in Gibson County, the daughter of the late Henry and Medie Sansom Brown. Mrs. Barron retired from Brown Shoe Company as an inspector. She was a member of New Bethlehem Baptist Church.

Mrs. Barron is survived by her husband, Horace Barron; and children, Royce Wayne Barron of Jackson, Marilyn Poremba and husband, Steve of Birmingham, Alabama.

She was preceded in death by her parents and two infant sons in 1953 and 1956 and brothers, Henry and Howard Brown.

Karnes and Son Funeral Home was honored to serve the family of Mrs. Iona Lee Brown Barron.

Card of Thanks Thanks to Mayor Chris Younger, City Recorder, Nathan Reed, the Dyer City Board, all who came to my reception, Roger Worrell and his family, all the firefighters, my family and all who had a part in making a very special day in my life as a firefighter. Also a special thanks to Lori and Bryan Cathey for always being there and recording these memories with photography. Thanks for allowing me to do this honorable job.

Roy Morris, Dyer Fireman The family of Bob Weaver would like to thank all our friends and neighbors for the many acts of kindness shown at his passing.

Wednesday evening our minister, Brother Corey Meggs spoke on Looking backwards to launch forward.

This is a continuation of the study, losing a generation.

Scripture was II Corinthians 10:7-12. We discusses the changes in our world, planting new churches, and how things are really going.

The steps are salvation, baptism, getting into God’s Word, go from milk to the meat of the Word, minster to our families, neighbors, all we come in contact with. We must find our place to serve, pray, and using a measuring stick to find just how things are really going.

Sunday morning we observed 2 of our church ordinances. First Matthew Leach was baptized. As he stood in the baptistery, his lovely little 5 year old daughter. Summer Rose Leach, sang ‘Amazing Grace.’ If that did not bring the Spirit down something is wrong with your spiritual antenna.

Brother Corey spoke continuing ‘Signs of the

Savior.’ The miracle of feeding the 5,000 is in all 4 gospels. We looked at John chapter 6. Moses had told that the Messiah would come. (Verse 14). In verses 26-29 the people ask what can we do, they were told only believe. Verses 32-35 speaks of the Manna in the desert, Jesus declares He is the bread of life.

We then observed the Lord’s Supper, reminiscent of the Passover.

Sunday evening our Minster of Music, Brother Terry Owens blessed us with a medley of Squire Parsons songs, ‘I’m Not Giving Up,’ ‘Oh, What a Moment When We see Jesus,’ ‘The Most Beautiful Rose,’ ‘It’s Not What’s Over the Door,’ ‘I Know What Jesus Did for Me’ and ‘I sing Because There is an Empty Grave.’

We welcomed several visitors, who are always our honored guests.

There will be a watermelon supper next Sunday evening.

Moore’s Chapel/Concord FCE Club The Moore’s Chapel/ Concord FCE met on Monday evening, June 16, 2014, at the home of Jan Burks who hosted the meeting with Sandra Newman.

Members present were Peggy Bell, Debbie Brown, Joyce Brown, Regina Burch, Jan Burks, Peggy Davis, Ruth Ethridge, Janice Gibson, Darlene Gipe, Mary Kaye Campbell, Dorothy Farner, Teresa McConnell, Sandra Newman, Patsy Scott, and Debbie White.

Jan Burks conducted a tour of her beautiful gardens while members participated in a scavenger hunt finding rabbits, geese, birdhouses, and interesting and innovative decorations scattered among her beautiful plants.

Sandra Newman called the meeting to order and thanked Jan for the tour and hostessing the meeting. Members paid dues of $7 and donated pennies for 4-H projects.

Peggy Bell gave a devotional on Psalm 23 and Isaiah 40:9-18. She reminded us that God’s gentle, loving nature gathers us in His arms and carries us close to His heart. In John’s gospel, the good shepherd leaves the 99 sheep which are safe and is prepared to lay down his life searching for the one sheep which is

lost. She then led the group in reciting the 23rd Psalm.

Janice Gibson led the group in singing ‘Polly Wolly Doodle.’ After the pledge of allegiance, Peggy Davis called roll with the answer being “an event I am looking forward to this summer.”

The minutes were approved as read. Sandra Newman read Ken Nesbitt’s poem, ‘Dreaming of Summer.’

Family Issue Project Leader Janice Gibson gave an informative talk about ‘Boosting your Diabetic IQ.’ The rate of diabetes has increased dramatically, especially among women. It is now considered an epidemic.

Symptoms include weight gain, frequent urination, and exhaustion.

Eating blueberries, apples, and grapes can reduce blood sugar, as well as drinking unsweetened coffee and tea.

Sandra announced the Summer Celebration at the UT Extension in Jackson on July 10 from 10-6. Several club members were winners at the Gibson County Dress Revue and Cultural Arts meeting on June 3.

Teresa McConnell announced that the group should submit a theme for the 2015 State Conference to be held in Clarksville, TN. A tri-fold board will

By Peggy Davis be prepared with ideas and displayed at the miniconference on August 5 in Jackson. The theme committee members are Peggy Davis, Dorothy Farner, Teresa McConnell, Tommy Sue Howington, and Marie Gurton for the county.

A military theme was suggested; the committee will meet on July 21 at 10 a.m. at the Ag-Plex in Trenton to finalize ideas.

Sandra announced the fair volunteer brunch will be held August 22 at 10 a.m.

Ironing drapes and set-up of the Martha Taylor Building will be at 10 a.m. on August 20. The Fair Board will honor the Gibson County FCE clubs on Monday, August 25, at 6.

On Monday, June 23, a Tap-A-Talent will be held at the Ag-Plex from 10-2, and participants will be making a vest.

The household hint for the month was: ‘To clean cast iron cookware, don’t use detergents. Just scrub them with salt and a clean, dry paper towel.’

Hostesses served ‘Dirt Cake,’ a cupcake in a flowerpot. After the club collect, the meeting was adjourned.

The club welcomes new members. Please call Peggy Davis at 855-2519 for meeting times and locations.

scriptures Genesis 45:1-8.

Mike Fields dismissed services in prayer as the hymn Jesus is Calling was sung.

Bro. Steve welcomed everyone and asked for our prayer requests. Mike Fields led us in prayer over all our requests.

Charity Hampton blessed us with our special music as she sang ‘The Voice of Truth.’ The church youth had recently been on a youth trip to Chickasaw and several of them wanted to share their trip with us. Colton and Kennedy Churchwell and Carlee

Fields led us in the pledges of allegiance to the American Flag, the Christian Flag and the Bible.

Our first speaker was Jennifer Fields. Jennifer did a review of the activities that they enjoyed. There were times of devotions, learning Bible verses, Arts and crafts, nature walks, prayer requests time and prayer, praise and worship songs, swimming, volley ball along with other games and activities.

Our youth speakers were Charity Hampton, Carlee Fields and Cotlon Churchwell. Scott Fields then spoke of their times of devotions.

Scott then gave a short testimony before delivering our message on ‘Transformation’ Joe Freeman dismissed services in prayer as the hymn ‘Pass Me Not, O Gentle Saviour’ was sung.

Starship, Survivor, Exile to take the stage at DPA July 19 Starship, Survivor and Exile will all be live on the stage July 19th, as the summer concert series continues on the Great Lawn at Discovery Park of America. CEO Jim Rippy says that this is the first “Classic Rock” concert that the park has offered.

“Anybody who likes music from the 70’s and 80’s will want to be sure to attend this concert,” he added.

There are two headliners for this concert according to booking agent Steve Hauser. According to Hauser, Survivor and Starship are about equal in popularity, and Exile, the lead-off band, has a fantastic following.

Park officials expect a good turnout for this concert based on advance ticket sales and the fact that classic rock and

country music will both be represented.

Mickey Thomas is the front man for Starship, the venerable San Francisco band behind several of the 20th century’s biggest pop and rock anthems (“We Built This City,” “Sara,” “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now”). The band recently released a new record called Loveless Fascination, that, “In some ways, feels like a 70s record.

It’s organic, and there’s a real edge to it,” Thomas said.

Survivor, the other headliner on July 19th, was formed in the cold Chicago winter of 1977 by Frankie Sullivan and Jim Peterik. By the end of 1978, Survivor was signed to a record deal with Scotti Bros.

Records. Under patronage of John Kalodner, then head of

A&R for Atlantic Records, Survivor went into the studio to cut their first self-titled album. This record, released in 1980 with the single “Somewhere in America,” did moderately well and started to build a loyal base of fans.

After touring for 8 months, the band went back into the studio. The result of those sessions,”Premonition,” is considered by many fans to be their favorite Survivor record. The album was released in 1981 with the singles, “Poor Man’s Son” and “Summer Nights”. This record improved on the first album’s success, although still not the big breakout the band was looking for – that was to come with the 1982 release of “Eye of the Tiger.”. The title song for this record was

CLASSIC ROCK CONCERT - The classic rock band Starship (above) will appear at Discovery Park of America this Saturday, July 19th, along with co-headliner Survivor (lower left photo) and Exile. All three bands had chart topping hits in the 70’s and 80’s.

expressly written for Rocky III, which brought the band national attention. “Eye of the Tiger” spent seven weeks at the #1 spot on the U.S. charts.

The song won a Grammy, an Oscar nomination and was voted ‘Best New Song” by the People’s Choice Awards.

Immediately following the record, the band toured extensively performing in sheds and stadiums.

1983 found Survivor back in the studio at work on “Caught in the Game” which received critical acclaim and AOR airplay.

It was after this that Dave Bickler, vocalist since 1978, decided to leave the band and was replaced by Jimi Jamison in 1984. Survivor’s next album, “Vital Signs” was released and achieved multi-platinum status with a string of hit singles that kept Survivor on the charts for over 40 weeks in 1984 and ’85. It was their established AOR airplay and Billboard Top 20 hits; “ I Can’t Hold Back”, “High on You” and “The Search is Over” which reached #2 on the hot 100, that kept Survivor at the top of the record and concert business.

Leading off for Survivor and Starship on July 19th, will be the popular Exile band.

In 1963, the year before the Beatles scored their first American hit, a group of kids calling themselves The Exiles climbed onto an outdoor stage in the small mid-state town of Richmond, Kentucky and proceeded to make musical history - not just with their songs but with their longevity as well. Forty-six years later,

Because your future doesn’t retire.

that same band Exile is still rockin’ with a mix of original and seminal members. Nations have had shorter life spans.

These days, J.P. Pennington, Les Taylor, Sonny LeMaire, Marlon Hargis and Steve Goetzman can look back on a career arc that embraces 11 No. 1 country and pop hits, two gold albums and fans by the hundreds of thousands.

Best of all, Exile is still touring and creating and recording brilliant new music.

In 1978, the group had its first number 1 single, thanks to a three-and-a-half-minute surge of heavy breathing called “Kiss You All Over.”

The song rocketed to No. 1 on the Billboard pop chart and stayed there for four weeks.

Eventually, through their manager, Jim Morey, Exile attracted the attention of Nashville super-producer Buddy Killen. A deal with Epic Records soon followed.

Then the No. 1 hits began pouring out, every one of them written by Pennington and LeMaire.

The first, “Woke Up In Love,” topped the country charts in 1984.

Classic rock fans and country music fans alike will enjoy this evening of old and new music performed by these three famous bands at this country’s newest attraction.

Tennessee has long been known for its exceptional music, and Discovery Park, Bud Light and Little General stepped up to become major sponsors to bring this exceptional lineup to the northwest part of the state this summer. Tickets are $45 for each concert, and the ticket price includes tax and parking.

The concert will be held on the Great Lawn at Discovery Park and is billed as ‘rain or

shine.’ The show will begin at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 6:00 and concessions are available on site, so no outside food or beverage will be allowed.

The Great Lawn was built as a natural amphitheater.

Marketing Director Mary Nita Bondurant said, “Now, we just hope that people who live around here will come out and enjoy the park and the music. We can accommodate around 3,000 people. If the series is a success this year, we plan to do it again, so we really encourage this region to support the series if they would like to see more of this type thing in the future.” Charlie Daniels and Travis Tritt have already played at the park this summer. Following the Survivor, Starship and Exile concert on July 19th, Sawyer Brown, Lee Roy Parnell and Maggie Rose will play on July 26th and Everclear, Tonic and Vertical Horizon will wrap up the series on August 23rd.

Event Director, Melissa Caldwell, said, “This has never been done before around here.” “We have a wonderful, beautiful venue and a fantastic line-up of talent.” Caldwell went on to say that guests can plan to come out and spend the evening at the park. “The gates will open at 6 p.m. We will have food and drinks available on sight, so our guests can just bring a blanket or bag chair and plan to eat dinner with us before the show. It will be fun!”
