Low interest loans can help in storm recovery

George Clark

Clark served under Patton in WWII BY WILLIAM G. MCFARLAND Yorkville veteran George Clark is one of our dwindling number of World War II area veterans. Clark, a member of the 10th Armored “Tiger” Division who served under General George Patton, began serving our country when he was 19 years old. The year was 1944. A drafted man, Clark began his training at Camp Wheeler, Georgia. He never did finish his basic training there because he was shipped to Germany. Clark and others there were needed to fight in those front lines. “I didn’t want to go; neither did many others. I didn’t plan to come back because I saw how everything was. However, I am an American. That covers it. I went and did what I had to do. The experience made me a ‘quick man’. I had to quit thinking and do what comes naturally once I was there.” That might have saved his life. When Clark landed he states, “I started fighting immediately. Our 10th Armored boys had been lined up and shot; we had to see page 2

Flag retirement ceremony, veterans honored at Yorkville BY WILLIAM G. MCFARLAND Life is filled with first time opportunities and with first events that will be saved within the folds of the brain. Those opportunities and events were recorded at the Yorkville Community Center this past Saturday night when a large number attended a fish fry, Veterans Program, and Flag Retirement Ceremony. The purpose of the event was to kick off an important drive, which will culminate with the erection of a Veterans Monument in the Yorkville Cemetery in 2011. Some 42 local veterans who have either served or who are serving our country were honored and recognized. They and others who are resting in

the Yorkville Cemetery as well as Yorkville/Nebo alumni who are buried in other cemeteries will be listed on the Veterans Monument. The program included a welcome by Harry Jetton, the National Anthem sung by Betty Hardin, the song “Where the Stars and Stripes and Eagle Flies” sung by Kim Scott Hall, remarks by Betty Ellis, and the introduction of branches of services and veterans in that branch. The group assembled outside for the flag retirement ceremonies. George Clark, the oldest veteran present, and Jackie Gregory, the youngest veteran present raised a flag which had flown over see page 12

Wheel tax petition gathers over 2,300 names

2nd Annual Taylor Family benefit ride draws 106 bikes BY MICHAEL ENOCHS The second annual Tanya Taylor Family Benefit Ride, on May 23, was held at the Dyer First Baptist Church. One hundred and six motorcycles gathered into a motorcade that left First Baptist at 1:30 p.m. to ride over a 76 mile circuit that included passing through Rutherford, Greenfield, Martin, Dresden, and the Pleasant View Church of Christ cemetery in the Bradford Community before returning to Dyer First Baptist. The memorial mission fund was founded last year as a fundraiser for missionary trips and a memorial to Brad

and Tanya Taylor and their two young sons, Tyce and Kyle, who all perished during one of the tornados that swept through Dyer and Gibson Counties on April 2, 2006. Tanya Taylor’s parents, Ronnie and Selene Barron of Dyer, and members of the Dyer First Baptist Church, including volunteer missions coordinator, Doug Duncan, founded the memorial mission fund. Duncan reported that the benefit ride attracted 106 motorcycles and nearly twice that number of riders to participate in the fund raiser, generating over $2000 to be devoted to mission trips by members of First Baptist.

TCR will be closed Monday The Tri-City Reporter will be closed Monday, May 31, 2010 for Memorial Day. Have a safe and happy Memorial Day!

BIKERS READY TO RIDE - Over $2,000 was raised Sunday by 102 bikers and their riders in the 2nd Annual Tanya Taylor Family Memorial Benefit Ride. The money will go to the Tanya Taylor Mission Fund, a portion will go towards Bible school supplies, and eye glasses for people in Ecuador. A 23-member team from FBC will travel to Ecuador June 23-30.

BY APRIL G. JACKSON The petition for a wheel tax referendum in Gibson County has grown to about 2,300 names as of Monday. “I expect to turn in over 3,000 signatures June 7,” said David Nance. The local Tea Party group, the Gibson County Patriots, began petitioning after county commissioners voted May 10 to double the local wheel tax rate from $35 to $70. A wheel tax referendum vote will be call if 1,560 registered voters are verified among the petitioners. The deadline for petitions to be turned in is June 9. “Quite a few (patriots) have worked very hard to help and it’s going very well. Nance still urges people to print out a petition, get some signatures on it and mail it to him no later than June 1. see page 3

Insight & Opinion We all live in a world of lies

Clayburn Peeples reports: So somebody hands me a card the other day, and here’s what it says: (1) This sentence contains five words. (2) This sentence contains eight words. (3) Exactly one sentence on this card is true. “Which sentences are true?” the man asked. “Well,” I think to myself, “the first sentence does contain five words, so it is true. The second sentence also contains five words, so it is false. Then I read the third sentence. “Exactly one sentence on this card is true,” it said. Exactly one. “O.K.,” I say to myself. “Sentence one is the only true sentence.” I almost said so, but then I thought, “no, if sentence three is correct, it’s true too. That would make two correct sentences, so it can’t be correct. And if it is not correct, it has to be false. But it’s not. “But it can’t be true either, because that would make two true sentences on the card, and it says there is only one.” What a mess! What the man had given me was a modern version of an ancient puzzle known as a liar’s paradox, or liar paradox. A liar’s paradox is defined as a statement of facts that asserts its own falsity. Another example would be, “I am lying now. This statement is false.” If

the speaker is really lying, the statement is true, but if the statement is true, then the second statement is a lie. Trying to figure out such philosophical brain teasers is a lesson in futility, but for more than two millennia, philosophers of all sorts have tried to do just that. The first of these liar’s paradoxes began in the sixth century BC when a Cretan poet/philosopher allegedly said, “All Cretans are liars.” As a Cretan, any statement he made would have to be false, because he said, “All Cretans are liars.” Well this linguistic dilemma kept ancient philosophers so stirred up, one of them, a poet/ grammarian named Philetas of Cos, allegedly died, in 270 BC, from insomnia he suffered from trying to figure out the liar’s paradox. While no one else has taken it quite that seriously, many, many serious articles and even a few books have been written about it. The quest to discover the truth seems to be hard wired into our DNA. Just as solidly as our effort to avoid telling it is. In spite of the extremely high value we claim to put on honesty, the truth is, we all live in a world of lies. Which is amazing, considering that just about everyone claims to be

honest. “I’m a lot of things,” I’ve heard countless people say in one way or another all my life, “but a liar is not one of them.” Nobody wants to be thought of as a liar. As a matter of fact, calling someone a liar is about as good a way as any I know of to get yourself punched in the nose. We take our reputations for truthfulness very, very seriously. But we each get to define the term for ourselves, and not surprisingly, the misleading statements we utter never seem to fall within our definition of lying, no matter how egregious they may be. Part of the reason we get away with this is that there is no uniform agreement as to just what a lie is. We generally agree that a lie is an untruthful statement made to deceive others, but then we carve out exceptions, usually to excuse the falsehoods we find it necessary to tell. What about telling children Santa Claus is watching them? Is that a lie? Or what about telling your mother-in-law how much you are looking forward to her week long visit next month? Surely that’s not true, but is it a lie? Or how about the dilemma everyone has faced at one time or another. You answer the phone, and as you pick it up, someone says, “Tell em I’m not here.”

in his mouth, removed it and said, “Tell em I’m not here.” The employee paused. “Would you mind stepping just outside the door so I won’t be telling them a lie?” he asked. Everybody froze, waiting to hear the agent’s response. Begrudgingly, he opened the door and holding it open, stepped across the threshold, waiting. “I’m sorry,” the employee

spoke into the phone. “He just left the building. Yes, I’ll tell him when he comes back.” As he hung up the phone, the agent stepped back into the room. The employee told him to call soinso and then left for another part of the building. But the lie he didn’t tell hung in the air for the rest of the evening, thicker even than the smoke from the agent’s cheap cigar.

Clark served under Patton

I’ll never forget one night many, many years ago when I was out at a business location helping to investigate a homicide. Several law enforcement officers were there, and so was a representative of the business. The phone rang. The business employee answered it and said, “Is there an Agent _ _ _ _ here?” “Agent _ _ _ _, a crusty old TBI officer with a cigar

from page 1 be in that front line with what little training we had. We went without food for several days. It wasn’t that we didn’t have our rations; we had to fight and we couldn’t eat. Then we crossed the Rhine River. We were fighting for Patton’s battalions. We knew we were in it, but we didn’t know how many battalions he had. We never did. We just knew we were a part of him behind lines. There was some secrecy to us. We were spear headers; we went in ahead of the rest of the people. We knew if we lived six days we were lucky. You really never did know who you were with. We only knew Lieutenant and Squad Leaders. We were on our own mostly. We rode half/tracks. The vehicles had wheels on the front and tracks on the back. Those tracks helped us get through those muddy swamps. When we could sleep, we slept wherever we could find a place. Many times we slept in houses where the people had been run out. We had rations, but often ate what we could find in these deserted houses.” That race across the Rhine called Patton’s Race to the Rhine is deemed the third most important Allied military success that contributed most to the defeat of Germany. A veil has hung for years about that Patton race. Patton did not want to let the Germans know his plan. Secrecy and surprise were part of his plan. The 10th Armored troops were his “Ghost Division,” his Ace in the Hole to pull up when he needed it to terrify and destroy the enemy. Clark and those with him saw much that they didn’t want to see. They experienced much that many wish not to discuss. While there, he was in the hospital twice. The first time he was knocked out by an explosion.

Michael Enochs Reporter menochs@tricityreporter.net

Thinking he was dead, those around were ready to put him in a body bag and place him with other dead soldiers. He regained consciousness just as they were ready to move him. “I don’t know what hit me. They pulled the ammo off me, covered me with a blanket, and left me with the rest of the dead boys around me.” He suffered exposure the second time he was in the hospital. After his first stay, he was back on the front line almost immediately. Danger lived around him and his fellow men constantly. They didn’t bother with small arms. Big arms was the name of the war. They carried hand grenades with them all the time, and they were ready to use them at any time. At age 20, Clark left France going to Japan. He was somewhere out in the ocean when they dropped the Atomic bomb. All soldiers were listening. After the bomb, he was sent to New York, then to New Jersey. He re-enlisted at Ft. Jackson, South Carolina for a year so he wouldn’t have to go back overseas. “I was in Garmisch, Germany when the war ended. It might have been over a day or two when we heard,” Clark comments. “After that I hauled misplaced persons back home who were in the concentration camps in Austria and Italy. I carried 15 to 20 back at a time.” His service time ended after he had served two years, three months and 29 days. Clark was offered another rank; the President was to swear him in, in Washington, but he didn’t take it. He chose to come home instead. Looking back, Clark has many reflections on 1944 – 1945. He states, “I am a survivor of World War II. I don’t know how! I describe my time there as indescribable. If I was 19 today and I was faced with

the same decisions, I would do the same thing I did in 1944. I’m glad I had the experience. I don’t know if this experience made me a better person or not, but I do know it made me a smarter person. I have had a good life. I actually have. My experiences made me a much stronger person.” Clark who at one time ate with Patton attended the Final Salute to the 10th Armored “Tiger” Division at Ft. Knox in Louisville, KY in 2006. That Final Salute began with the Ft. Knox Color Guard firing a 7-Round rifle salute. One hundred twenty-seven Tiger attendees were then called by name and unit. He in turn stood, announced “Here, Sir!” and gave a big Tiger Hi-Ball Salute— one last final tribute to their fellow Tigers past and present. The Ft. Knox Color Guard ended the Roll Call by firing a second 7-round Final Salute. At this final salute, the secret of Patton was lifted when the Patton Museum opened. These men no longer have to keep silent about the military secrecy and silence they have had all these years. These “Ghost” Division men who were Patton’s Ace in the Hole to pull up when he needed to terrify and destroy the enemy now have their story forever preserved at this museum. Clark is among those forever honored there. Thank you George Clark. Thank you men of the 10th Armored “Tiger” Division. George and Mary Katherine, his wife, have two boys. George Wayne lives in Houston, TX and Eddie lives in Cadiz, KY. George Wayne was Paratrooper of the Year (Second Airborne); he toured cities all over the United States and spoke. He is retired. Eddie works with the TVA. The Clarks have four grandchildren.

Rutherford recovering after flood BY MICHAEL ENOCHS The flood that took place at the beginning of May covered portions of Rutherford, particularly in the eastern sections of the town and reaching into the city park area in the north section. During the mayor’s report at the regularly scheduled meeting of the Rutherford City Council held on May 17, Mayor Keith Cardwell reported that the city carries one million dollars in insurance and that the city needs an accurate estimate of flood damage. Alderman Don Greer reported that because of the flood damage the New Hope Street culvert is to be replaced or repaired, also one on Taylor Street and Main Street. Front Street suffered enough damage that it is closed. Alderman Dusty Emerson reported that the state inspector was scheduled to come and look

over the situation. Emerson also thanked the Red Cross for bringing in relief boxes for flood victims. Water and Sewer manager Jim Cooper reported that the flood damage at the water and sewer facilities was at a minimum even though the wastewater plant had been completely flooded. One back pump for a station was out and two aerator motors were out that may have been struck by lightning. Cardwell also advised that FEMA had set up at the Trenton Fair Grounds to provide assistance. Cardwell extended thanks to all those who provided help in the flood. Tara Bradford, Director for the Greater Gibson County Chamber of Commerce visited the city council along with members of the city industrial board. Bradford gave a talk on the general state of industrial property in Rutherford

including mentioning that private property owners hold the two properties that are in the best shape for a business or industry to move into. Bradford also explained that the industrial board had need of a liaison representative from the city government to work with. Since a city board member or a city employee may not be on the industrial board, the industrial board made a request that Alderman Bob White be appointed as the liaison. Cardwell took up the industrial board’s recommendation, and with the consent of the city council, appointed White as liaison. Bids were opened on the purchase of the old police department building located at the corner of Main and Trenton Streets. John Raehn put forward the highest bid offer on the property at $5,600. Greer made a motion to accept the highest

Gibson - North Relay For Life Survivor Stories

Storey battles a lifetime of cancer

Melba Storey BY WILLIAM G. MCFARLAND The year was 1958. Melba Storey (Melba Sims then) had just graduated from Rutherford High School. She was a young lady getting ready to live and get on with her life. She was excited about her future. Then a knot came up behind her left ear. Melba and her family went to see Dr. John Ellis. He found that the knot was in a gland; he sent her to a specialist in Jackson. Tests found that the knot was cancer; the knot was removed by Dr. Hubbard at Jackson Madison County Hospital. Now 52 years later, Melba is up and going, but cancer has been in and out of her life since that first diagnosis. Melba’s surgery was within a week after the knot was discovered. The cancer was actually within a cell with the inner cell cancerous and the outer cell benign. At that time, the doctors were not so much concerned about the knot as they were her left eye. The surgery caused some paralysis. Her eye and lips were drawn a bit and her speech was slurred. However, knowing that something must be done, Melba began taking voice lessons. That training helped her regain most of what she had lost. Obviously, Melba, at age 20, was horrified at the idea of having cancer. “Back in those days,” Melba states, “when one found he/she had cancer, it was a death threat. It was like being hit with a sledgehammer. I wanted to be by myself; I didn’t talk; I couldn’t talk. After those first days, I made up my mind that I wasn’t going to let it get me down.” Thankfully, after the knot

was removed Melba didn’t have to take any medicine or go through any treatments. Then, bad news came again. All the time we hear of skin cancers; we hear that we should cover up and use the sunscreen. Well, the cause of skin cancers is not always the sun. As a youngster growing up, Melba, like so many, had acne. The doctor prescribed radium treatments. What was not known at that time was that radium treatments for acne caused skin cancers to develop. The cancers flared up on Melba’s face. Fourteen had to be removed—some surgically. And as her years have continued, so have the skin cancers. Melba sees Dr. Amonette in Memphis every six months and recently has had a reoccurrence. Melba and Robert who have been married since 1965 have faced cancer together with strength and endurance. There have been tough days in their married life with this silent killer. In 1973 while taking a shower Melba found a knot in her breast. “The doctor said he needed to remove my breast. I have learned that when doctors say cut, I say cut. When they say leave along, I leave alone. I try to do everything doctors tell me to do,” Melba states. After the removal of her breast, Melba took a chemo pill every day for six years. “The doctor told me I had to take them for five years; I asked if I could take another year for precaution. He said the pill wouldn’t hurt so I took it another year,” Melba comments. Last year when Melba went for her mammogram, more trouble was found. That breast was removed also. Thankfully, again no major treatments followed. But, still the list of problems continued. Now doctors have found a spot on her lung and diagnosed her as COPD. She is currently taking a pill a day. This is both a cancer pill and a cancer prevention pill, which works with chemicals within Melba’s body. Doctors told Melba that she has the lungs of a heavy smoker and they feel that second hand smoke has caused this problem.

“I was constantly in cigarette smoke. I had to get out of the office to breath,” Melba states. She, nor her husband, have ever smoked. Essentially Melba has had a continuing problem with cancer. Some of the cancers have required treatments; some have not. Certainly research has helped with “extension of life” the past 52 years. Certainly research and education have helped Melba. “I am a survivor,” Melba states. “I believe everything has a purpose. Don’t worry; be happy and proud you are alive and go on with daily living. Live, work, and play every day and don’t dwell on your condition.” Melba believes people should actively support the community in the education of cancer. “Cancer does not automatically mean instant death. We are all going to live the allotted time the Lord provides. While we live, we have choices and attitudes. Make the best choices you can and have the proper attitude to go with it and live your life for yourself, your family, and friends.” Melba also believes that “calmness and attitude prevents the spread of cancer for those who have it.” In addition, she “encourages others to take immediate action when they have a problem and then she stresses for these people to deal with it.” Most positively Melba states, “I hope my story will help someone else survive cancer.” Melba and her husband Robert have two children: Rodlin Storey and Camie Reynolds. Their grandchildren are Harley Storey, Tabitha Reynolds and Patrick Reynolds. They have three step-grandchild Michael George, Charlie George, and Marcus George. Harley, Tabitha, and Michael have the same birthday though their ages are different. Melba worked for 22 years at the Civilian Army Recruiting Command in Milan and Jackson. She was a stay at home mom when her children were young.

bid. Emerson seconded the motion and White asked if the stipulation that the property be used for business purposes was included in the bid. Cardwell stated that the property bids were advertised as for commercial purposes with a business tax license to be purchased within 60 days of the purchase of the property, but it was not included as a deed restriction. Greer stated there was no problem with the stipulation going into the deed. After consultation with the city’s attorney, Bill Barron, White moved to amend the motion to put the stipulations in the deed. Greer seconded the amendment to the motion and the board approved the motion as amended. Returning to the city water system, White reported to Cooper that he has been receiving complaints from citizens about rust in the tap water.

GRIGGS COMPLETES TAMCAR STUDIES - Dyer City Assistant Recorder Jason Griggs recently completed studies at TAMCAR Institute.

The clerks completed six institutes totaling 105 hours in sessions taught by experts in their fields. Sessions included state and local legislation, the Fair Labor Standards Acts, stimulus funds, communication, business tax, leadership, and technology in the workplace, budget forecasting and ethics. Graduate Griggs received his Certified Municipal Clerks Institute certificate from TAMCAR President Shirley Dancy. City Recorder Kenneth McEwen congratulates Griggs on his accomplishments.

Wheel tax petition from page 1 If the petitioning is successful, the referendum vote will be held during the August 5 county general election, Gibson County Administrator of Elections Molly Bailey said. Some have indicated that if a wheel tax referendum is held and the wheel tax blocked, county commissioners would then simply raise the property tax. Nance says a property tax is more difficult for citizens to fight. “ Property tax is much more

difficult to fight. It requires replacing commissioners and repealingthetaxorestablishing Home Rule Charter which is a long, but not really difficult process. This can create an environment that will require all tax rate changes to go to the public for a vote.” After the upcoming elections, Gibson County will have a minimum of eight new commissioners and probably 10 with a new county mayor, said Nance. “Hopefully the new commission will be more considerate of the unemployed taxpayer,” Nance said.

Taking advantage of the break in the weather last Friday and thanks to some hard work by the Dyer grounds team, Kentonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s S a n d e r s o n â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s S o f t b a l l Team took on Dyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lady Steelers. With both teams donning identically colored uniforms, at times it was a bit difficult to tell them apart. As the eager spectators urged on their respective teams, it was evident that they had all come to play. The young ladies are improving with each game and learning about teamwork and sportsmanship. Congratulations ladies on a game well played! Following the morning worship service at the First Baptist Church last Sunday, the congregation honored their senior adults with a luncheon in the Church fellowship hall. After enjoying a delicious meal, the results of a church wide vote were announced naming Larry Davidson as Senior Adult of the Year. Mr. Davidson was very deserving of this honor as he has been quite with the Senior Adults. Everyone attending enjoyed the food and fellowship. Last Tuesday evening Ronnie and Cindy Lamar enjoyed watching their grandson, Grant McAlister play Little League Baseball in Greenfield. The cool temperatures brought out jackets and blankets by the spectators as they were treated to an exciting double-header. The second game went into nail-biting

Got the kids off to school and went to the store, I worked â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;round the house....my life feels such a bore. Took lunch to my neighbor, helped out a friend...picked the kids up from school, will it ever end? I cooked a nice dinner, then cleaned up the mess....stopped the kids from fighting, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m tired I confess. I wish for the bed, but a thought came to me....â&#x20AC;?Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d I do today with the time given me?â&#x20AC;?

Laneview Baptist Church What a beautiful day this past Sunday was. It was so good to see the sunshine! It was another wonderful day in Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house. We had specials sang by Bro. Johnny Cavender and Mrs. Natalie Farrar. We were blessed by the baptismal of Miss Melissa Carter. We also recognized our graduates with Bibles and a dinner after worship service. Bro. Darrylâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s message was entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keys To A Good Life.â&#x20AC;? How are we living our lives? Are we being good examples for our young people? Do people see Jesus in you during the week or just on Sundays? A true Christian will strive to live a Godly life, and if you are not the Holy Spirit will convict you. If you seek Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guidance first in all you do then you will have the key to a good life. If your life is a mess you can clean it up by humbling yourself on bended knees. Scripture reference Ephesians 4:21-32, Matthew 24:51. In our evening service we had specials sang by

Bro. Tim Fout and Bro. Johnny Cavender. Bro. Darrylâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s message was entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Five Bibles or Spiritual Doors.â&#x20AC;? We have many doors placed in front of us. One of these doors is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reaping Doorâ&#x20AC;? meaning you will reap what you sow. Next you may face the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Opportunity Doorâ&#x20AC;? you may have the opportunity to speak up for God or show that God is in your life so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid to do so. The most important door is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Salvation Doorâ&#x20AC;? which is giving your heart to God. Another door we may encounter may be the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Door of Neglect.â&#x20AC;? Are we neglecting our churches. Are we allowing the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Word Of Godâ&#x20AC;? to die out in America? The final door we may encounter is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Door Of Judgmentâ&#x20AC;? we will all be judged sinners and saints. These are doors we will face, be prepared by studying Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s word and seeking His guidance. Scripture reference Galatians 6: 1-10, Luke 13: 24-28. Hope to see you in church Sunday. God Bless!

Lowrance Chapel By Jerry Bell What a great day we all had on Sunday! Our annual co-operative meeting with the Kenton, Christian Chapel, and Taylor Street churches began. We all enjoyed a feast and fellowship when we traveled to the Kenton congregation for our noon meal. I have seen a lot of “dinners on the ground,” but this one had to be one of the best. I give all the ladies of the congregations an A++ for their hard work of preparing so much good food. There was as much food left over as was eaten. Everyone truly “enjoyed” themselves. We all then gathered in the auditorium for a service at 2pm. Brother Danny Penn, minister of Christian Chapel spoke to us on the subject of “encouragement.” Encouragement is something that everyone needs. The gospel meeting continued, Monday – Wednesday evening. I was the guest speaker on Monday night and delivered a lesson on “If I Get to Heaven.” I spoke shortly on this topic during our

Sunday morning service at Lowrance Chapel. I have heard several over the years use the expression, “If I get to Heaven” or “Lord please save me in the end?” Why does a person want to wait until the “end” to be saved? Most all of us have heard and sung the song, “When we all get to Heaven.” It is a song that is in most hymnals. What if we replaced the word when with the word “if,” how would it sound to our ears and to God? What would we be telling Him? Would we be saying, “Lord, I just don’t know if I am saved or not? For a person to go through their entire life not truly knowing of their salvation must be most miserable. We must keep the commandments of the Lord in order to enter into Heaven. What I am saying today is that we can know of our salvation now because the Bible tells us so. We do not believe that a person who is saved

Keely Mill Our Sunday morning services began with Elaine Fields playing the piano and Steven Fields leading us in the hymn “Wonderful Words of Life.” Keith Hamlin opened us in a word of prayer and we all dismissed to our Sunday school classes where William McDonald opened us in prayer for our many prayer requests. Ms. Christy did a good job teaching us our lesson “Stay away from perverted practices.” Leviticus 17-22. The Lord sets His people apart for holy living; thus they are to reject ungodly practices in their culture. Bro. John Fields dismissed us with prayer. Our morning worship hour began with Scott Fields and the choir leading us in the hymns “This is my Father’s World” and “Stepping in the Light.” We then had a time and meet and greet with our church family and the many visitors we had on Sunday. We thank the Lord for our visitors and invite them back to worship with us again. Rejoice in the Lord always. We all enjoyed watching Johnna McGarity and Jennifer King sign to the song “Your Grace Still Amazes Me.” Bro. Steve’s morning message was from Acts 2:1-41. “The Day of Pentecost.” And when the day of Pentecost was fully

according to God’s Word has nothing to be concerned about the rest of his life. The Bible is very plain that a person can fall and be lost if He does not keep God’s commandments. The apostle Paul writing to the church in Galatia, tells them (Galatians 5:14) to “stand fast in the liberty by which Christ has made us free – do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage (sin).” Again in verse 4 he states that “Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosever of you are justified by the law; ye have fallen from grace.” In James 1:14, we read “But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lusts, and enticed, then when lust hath conceived it bringeth forth sin; and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” Next week, we will continue our thoughts on the subject, “If I get to Heaven.” I hope that you will look for our news in next week’s paper as we let the Bible, God’s Word teach us on this important subject.

By Diane Hamlin

come, they were all with one accord in one place. Scott Fields closed us in prayer as the hymn “Only Trust Him” was sung. Our discipleship training services began with the hymn “Till the Storm Passes By.” Mike Fields opened us in prayer before we dismissed to our classes where he did a good job teaching us our lesson from John 20:24-30. Thomas had trouble believing. Thomas’s doubt was changed to belief. Ms. Kay Fields dismissed our class in prayer. Our worship hour began with Scott leading us in the

hymns “Love Lifted Me,” “Follow On” and “Higher Ground.” Bro. Steve’s message was from 1 Peter 2:8-20. Scott Fields ended services in prayer as the hymn “Just As I Am” was sung. After services we all enjoyed a dessert fellowship in the fellowship hall. Read your Bibles and be people of prayer this week. Our prayers go out to all the seniors graduating this year. We invite you to come praise and worship the Lord with us Sundays at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. keelymillbaptistchurch.com.

Cloraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chapel Sunday was a very exciting day at Cloras Chapel Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Dyer. Sunday School and worship service were in order. Pastor Myles preached a dynamic message, titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oops, I Did It Again.â&#x20AC;? The Angel choir sang from their hearts and the spirit of the Lord was all over the church. Pastor Myles and Sister Myles attended the funeral of Rev. James Nance, Jr. at First Baptist Church in Trenton. Rev. Nance was the pastor of Ransom Temple Cumberland Presbyterian Church in America in Lewisburg. A delicious lunch was served at Cloras Chapel and we had special guest. This was our annual Usher Day.

Bethpage By Joyce Brown Once again it has been a busy week in the country. Baseball and softball games everywhere, folks getting ready for graduation, others celebrating birthdays, some traveling for various reasons and I don’t know what else. Brent Griggs and Chad McMackin got the birthday song Sunday morning. Our services opened with a beautiful instrumental piece “I Stand In Awe” played by Tina and Janice. For the offertory they played one of my favorites “As The Deer.” Call to worship was “God Is So Good” and the welcome hymn was “Jesus Saves.” Charles Perryman sang the Rusty Goodman classic “Who Am I” for special music. Bro James preached from Isa 55:6-11 on the return of the Lord’s redeemed. Bibles were presented to our Seniors who will be graduating Friday night. They are Brandon Griggs, Britny Fletcher, Chad McMackin and Andy Littleton. At the close of our service Bro. James and Natalie left to go to Nashville to be with Natalie’s family who suffered the loss of a young family member who died following

Death Notice Bells - Mrs. Jo Lynn Horner, age 90 dies May 20, 2010. Services were held Saturday, May 22, 2010 at Brownsville-Bells Funeral Home, in Bells.

a stroke. Bro. James will be conducting the funeral on Monday. Our prayers and sympathy go out to them. In Bro. James’ absence for Sunday night service, Bro Larry Simmons filled in for him. He preached to a small but enthusiastic crowd as 25 family members and friends attended the Baccalaureate services for our graduates. We were all so pleased to know that two of our own, Chad McMackin and Andy Littleton were awarded scholarships from the Ministerial Alliance. It is a well deserved honor for these two deserving young men. We are beginning to put plans in place for our 150 year Anniversary Celebration which will be held on June 27. If you or any of your family have ties to Bethpage, please plan to attend this special day. Also, if you have folks that you know would be interested in participating in this, please contact someone from Bethpage with their names and addresses so we may extend to them an invitation. Get well wishes go to Harvey Shields who is in the hospital in Jackson following a heart attack. Also, Mrs Oneida Sellers was in the hospital last week for a few days. We wish both of them a speedy recovery. Kenneth Smithson had a slight accident while out of town this past weekend and is pretty sore so we’re hoping he’ll soon be back to his regular routine. Thought for the week: God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called.

North Union The month of May has been a busy month for our youth, and it looks as if June will be even busier. On Saturday, 29 children along with our adult leaders reported an exciting time at Columbus Park in Kentucky. They had enough food left over and with some added we had a fellowship meal on Sunday night. On June 6th we will have a dinner for our two graduates: Brittany Smith and Robert Joyce. June 5th is 50th anniversary of Camp Clark Williamson where Kenny, Mike, and Don are in BBQ Cook off. Youth will be going to eat and then going to Diamond Jaxx game that night. We had 64 attend our morning service. Happy birthday wishes were sung to Sally Baird and Ann Taylor. Michelle Goad had charge of our children’s sermon. Ally and Libby Goad sang “Oh Be Careful Little Eyes, Ears, Hands, and Feet What You Do.” Michelle stressed how they must be careful what they do in all situations. Especially what they watch on TV Also they must walk away from many places judging right and wrong and good and bad. She closed with prayer. Bro. Don preached about “The Forgotten Secret of Happiness” that is told to us in Psalm 32. Sin brings sorrow, remorse, guilt, grief, and regret. Confession brings forgiveness, which brings joy and happiness. Why not admit to God what he already knows? We must always be aware that our actions bring consequences, and these we must deal with.

By Sarah Allen

Never forget God’s love for us. As a cut leaves a scar, it does not destroy but leaves its marks. Bro. Don often repeats a quote by R.G. Lee, “Sin can cost you more than you want to pay, keep you longer than you want to stay.”

RELIGION Cards of Thanks As the mayor of Kenton, I would like to thank everyone who helped us during the recent flood, the Kenton Fire Department, Rescue Squad, Kenton Police, Jerry Vasbinder and his deputies, the churches and anyone else who helped. Everything that was done is greatly appreciated. Thank to the ladies at City Hall and the city crew. The Dyer Station Celebration committee would like to thank the following merchants for their donations towards the 4th of July celebration: Alford’s Tire, Leitherland Family Clinic, Duncan’s Pharmacy, Karnes and Son Funeral Home, Dyer Grain, McCurdy Farms, Dyer Fiberglass, Farmers and Merchants Bank of Dyer and Gibson Farmers Co-Op.

New Hope By Melissa Hill We had 95 present for worship services. Jeff Record opened services with scripture from Proverbs 1:1-9. We opened in song with “Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus.” We recognized the new freshmen class and our graduating seniors, we shared scripture and special prayer for all graduates. Letitia lead the children’s sermon with scripture from Hebrews 11:24-25. Doug Jones sang the special music “Resurrection Morning.” Brother Corey’s message was from Galatians 3: 26-29, titled “From Slave to Son.” Do you understand your position? Brother Corey read several scripture verses and stated that “You are saved by Faith

not by Work.” Brother Corey sent his message out to all our seniors as they enter into this new adventure in their lives. We dismissed evening services to go to the Baccalaureate services at the High School. Graduation is May 28 at GCHS gym beginning at 7 p.m. We have started restocking our food pantry please bring items to help our community. VBS starts July 19-23 we need prayers and helpers. Some prayer concerns are: Betty Moore, Annie Lou King, James Poole, Billy Joe Roberts and Paris Bryant. Remember to pray for our seniors as they take their last walk as students of GCHS. Have a safe and blessed week.

Sports & Education GCHS students honored

FOURTH YEAR LETTERING - GCHS honor students lettering for the fourth year are Kimberly Boswell, Shelby Replogle, Megan Turner, Kaleb Wolfe, Joseph Phillips, and Will Record.

BY CAMILLE COLLINS As the 2009-2010 school year is coming to a halt GCHS has a tradition of honoring students for their academic achievements. “The Honors picnic replaced the Honors Banquet when after-school activities in the spring made it impossible to honor students at a night-time banquet. We wanted to recognize all students who were eligible to attend so having it during the day seemed the best way to do that,” stated Jackie Tucker, GCHS counselor. This is the third year to have a picnic, instead of a banquet. The picnic was held at the Pioneer Homeplace and was hosted during the lunch period on April 29th, 2010. Mrs. Jackie Tucker and Mrs. Tina McClain, GCHS counselors organize the picnic and decide the menu. In previous years Mr. Steve Hay and Mr. David Russell have grilled hamburgers, preparing meals for approximately 120 students. This year students were offered a similar menu of burgers, chips, and a piece of cake. In order to be invited students must have made the honor roll in Q1, Q2, and Q3. To make the honor roll students must have had an average of 93 at the end of each quarter with no grade lower than an 85. All who attended were recognized with a certificate of achievement and all first time attendees letter academically or athletically.

After students letter they receive a bar each subsequent year following. An academic letterman of achievement, receives a red chenille GC to add to their letter jacket and a lamp of knowledge pin. For those who letter more than once a bar pin is given to wear on the original GC letter jacket patch. Seniors, who have lettered all four years, receive a wooden plaque with their name and their accomplishment. It is an honor for students to be recognized in this way. The following students were honored at this year’s picnic. GCHS ninth grade honor students are Sarah Alford, Kacey Baker,Markee Brown, Cierra Curry, Haley Davis, Jacob Davis, Shelby Dotson, Jessica Dyer, Fay Fisk, Xavier Flora, Samantha Flowers, Tim Gammons, Kara Gilmore, Cady Griffin, Melviena Hayes, Mali Jones, Allison Keathley, Charles Morris, Abigail Myers, Lawson Parks, Mary Phillips, Victoria Reedy, Danielle Rickman, Mallarie Riffe, Garrett Ritter, Trey Wiese, Jakeb Wylie GCHS tenth grade honor studetns - Alex Crittendon, Anna Paige Fuqua, Chelsea Glidewell, Johnie Gonzales, Taylor Hassell, Courtney Haynes, Brittany Hodge, Kristen Howard, Anthony Hunt, Chelsea Joyce, Lacy Littleton, Madison Mcbride, Mary Elizabeth Miller, Hannah Moore, Cory Oliver, Keisha Prescott, Amber Rea, Kaitlyn Ritter,

of an American flag that was ready for retirement. Scout members along with scouts, old and young, in the crowd were asked to drape full flags on the shoulders of the 26 men who had gathered around the flagpole. Cub Scouts and civilians took their small strips and walked by a fire that had been built by the cub scouts. They dropped the strips in the fire. These men, women, and children then shook hands and even hugged the veterans. Once everyone had finished with his/her hugs and handshakes, the veterans brought their flags to the fire to retire them. Regulations state that worn flags must be burned; they cannot be buried. Quiet moments followed as these flags went from faded red, white, and blue cloth to a pile of ashes Regulations also require

that these ashes be buried. That was done Sunday morning in the Yorkville Cemetery at the site where the Veterans Monument will stand. Many proud moments were had by all; many smiles radiated as all watched a fire works display of 13 different spectacular outbursts that filled the sky representing the 13 stripes and the original 13 colonies. Those interested in being a part of this special project may contact Mack Zarecor at 643-8810. Those desiring to make donations may do so in one of three ways: A Bronze donation is $25; a Silver donation is $50, and a Gold donation is $100. Those giving will be recognized in one of these three areas when the monument is dedicated. Other fund raising efforts are planned to help finance this monument.
