taking over as the Gibson County School District Director of Schools, Eddie Pruett was pleased to deliver good news to the school board.

T h e s t a t e lifted the e m b a rg o on TCAP scores for grades 3-8 prior to the board meeting, giving Pruett just enough time to put together some data for the board. Once the director had more time to put his district’s scores up against each of the 135 school districts in the state, the news got even better.

EMS ambulance service continues to increase its revenues derived from fees charged to patients being transported.

In the meantime, a lawsuit brought by the county to prevent competing ambulance firms from operating here is on hold until a ruling is made in neighboring Madison County.

Gibson Co. ambulance collections for 2010-11 climbed to over $2.7 million, totaling precisely $2,707,879.59. That was $251,000 more than last year’s collections.

The EMS service took in 225,656 monthly or over $7,400 per day. The highest single month of collections was June 2011 when $295,772.19 was received. Collections exceeded budget projections by over $300,000.

New EMS Director Starr Arnold, interim Director Trayce Griffin, and the EMS staff were credited by county officials with good fiscal management.

“It speaks well of the director and her staff and members of the EMS committee,” said Committee Chairman Jim Overall. “ We ’ r e d o i n g our due diligence and we’re d o i n g it well. W e ’ r e m a k i n g m o n e y with the ambulance service, but more importantly we’re taking care of Gibson Co. citizens in the fashion they deserve to be taken care of.”

BY LORI CATHEYThe Good Luck Volunteer Fire Department held

the 15th Annual Good Luck Rodeo on Saturday, July 23 at the Baier Roping Arena in Rutherford. Harold Stafford gave the invocation and was also the announcer for the rodeo events. Bridget Howell Cochran carried the American flag leading the rodeo contestants around the arena during the traditional Grand Entry.

The Good Luck Fire Department members dedicated the 2011 rodeo to one of their own, the late Charlie Wiggington. He was with the fire department from the beginning and remained a fireman as long as his health would allow. Charlie always had a smile for everyone. Everyone at the fire department and within the community suffered a great loss on that day and will always remember Charlie as a great friend and a wonderful person.

The first event was bull riding with 20 competing. Colby Criswell from the Trenton area won first place and Shawn Turner came in second.

In the calf roping there were 26 competing, 17 in ladies breakaway, 36 ladies in barrel racing, 10 peewee barrels racers and 53 teams in team roping.

Placing first in some of the events were Ladies Barrel Racing winner was Jennifer Barron; Steer Wrestling- Randy Prince from Gibson; Goat Tying-

McKenna Cox. The winners of the remaining events were not available at press time.

Rodeo clown Rob Gann goofed around on the arena floor and joked with the fans in the stands throughout the evening. A special thanks was given to Ted and Sue Baier, owners of the arena, for being strong supporters of their community and fire department for the past 15 years.

Guy Cox with Rafter C Livestock has been the bull provider for all fifteen years and was instrumental in starting the annual rodeo.Other stock providers were Jason Stroup, Rob Bennett and Tim Glassco.

�When the Good Luck Volunteer Fire Department started 16 years ago, it had two fire trucks and no building to call home. Today, the department in north Gibson County has its own fire station; has grown to 15 volunteers and maintains a three-truck fleet. We had a great turnout with a great number of contestants this year,” said Good Luck Fire Chief Travis Landrum.

The attendance was up from last year to 851 people passing through the gates. “We are thankful and grateful for all of our event sponsors and our volunteers,” said Landrum. Members of the Good Luck Fire Department would like to say a big thank you to everyone that came out to show their support.

Stop spending our children’s future Letter to the editor:

Dear Editor,Any reasonable individual

must agree that at some point in time we must as a nation stop borrowing and spending our children’s future. I hear the talking heads on TV telling me how catastrophic it will be if the debt ceiling isn’t raised.

I have a simple question that we should all carefully consider. At what point in the future when we are even

Remember the Space Age? I do. Remember that day in early October of 1957 when the networks interrupted programming to announce that the Russians (Remember the USSR?) had launched a satellite into space?

Remember the panic that followed? We were all terrified. Why? Because we knew that a country that could control space could control the world.

Remember the frustrating months that followed as we fumbled our way into orbit, but with smaller payloads than the Russians were hurling into space?

And remember that sick feeling in 1961 when the Russians actually put a human being into outer space and brought him back alive?

Those were scary days, but we had a president then who, whatever his personal faults might have been, knew that the American

way of life depended on continued world leadership, and that leading in the world depended on leading in space.

So young President Kennedy called in the leaders of the new National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and told them we needed a space project we could complete before the Russians did. What would it be?

Because of the lead the Russians had in heavy rocket satellite launching capability, the NASA leaders told Kennedy the only race we could hope to win anytime soon would be a race to the moon, a manned lunar landing.

But such a goal would be costly, and risky. Did Americans have the resolve to see such a project through the next decade? Was a race to the moon the right goal for America’s space program?

The president decided it

was and that America had “the right stuff” to see it through. “No single space project in this period,” he said after announcing we would put a man on the moon within a decade, “will be more impressive to mankind, or more important for the long range exploration of space; . . .”

Oh what an exciting time it was to be a student during the next decade. To be an American. Mercury, Gemini, Apollo. The very words send a thrill of patriotic pride down the spine. Then came Skylab, the shuttle, the Hubble telescope and with them a veritable avalanche of technological, scientific and yes, economic progress as well.

And for nearly a half century the United States enjoyed undisputed leadership in space, along with the many benefits that come with that position. “We have a long way to go in this space race,” President Kennedy said on that long ago day, “but this is the new ocean, and I believe that the United States must sail on it and be in a position second to none.”

Was it dangerous? You bet, but in more than a half a century only 17 people died. Imagine that. Expensive? Oh my, but look at what we got in exchange; expanded knowledge of the earth, the sun, the universe and

beyond, vastly improved military surveillance, telecommunications and mapping capabilities, impressive discoveries in medicine, technology and materials processing, to name a few.

The list could go on and on, and would have continued to grow, but last week the progress stopped with the final flight in our space shuttle program. It’s over; all the remaining shuttles are being given to museums. All that progress is history now, along with America’s storied manned space program, killed by bureaucrats and politicians who would rather subsidize golf courses and build bike paths than to blaze trails in outer space.

So now, for the first time since the 1960’s, we literally have no rocket, either in existence or in the works, that can carry a human into outer space. Believe it or

not, the only way we can get to our own space station is to hire the Russians to take us.

We have more 30-year-old college students and 55-year-old retirees than any nation in the history of the world; we can subsidize non productivity on a financial scale that makes the most expensive space project ever proposed look like popcorn in a snowstorm, but we can’t afford to build a rocket to take our own astronauts to our own space station.

We don’t have any problem coming up with 3.8 million dollars for an urban art trail in Rochester, New York, or five million to improve energy efficiency in a nearly empty, outdated mall in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, or 1.2 million for a horse museum in Lexington, Kentucky. Or 3.4 million for an underground turtle tunnel (or eco-passage, as they call it) under a highway in

Lake Jackson, Florida, but no more money for space projects.

You think I’m making this up? I couldn’t possibly dream this stuff up. Only our ruling class in Washington could come up with such priorities.

And the space program that would take us back to the moon and beyond? Cancelled. Too expensive.

But don’t worry. Both the White House and NASA assure us America is still a leader in outer space. “It’s a misnomer to say we’re not a leader in space,” a NASA official said recently. “We are still leading in space; we’re doing it in a different way.”

We sure are. Instead of building our own rockets, we’re paying the former Soviet Union 63 million dollars a passenger to take us on a single flight.

The space race is finally over; the Russians won.

deeper in debt will it be less catastrophic to begin living within our means.

I agree that it will indeed be catastrophic to some degree to freeze the debt ceiling. However it will be even more catastrophic in the long run to continue to print or borrow and spend 4 billion dollars a day that we don’t have.

Another question that literally hits home is why

does our own Gibson County Government follow the same reckless deficit spending? Could it be for the same reason as our Federal government? To give people what they want and worry about how to pay for it later. Later consistently shows up with an invoice.

OUTSTANDING YOUNG FARMER - President of the Gibson County Farm Bureau Jason Luckey (left) presents the 2011 Gibson County Outstanding Young Farmer Award to Todd Littleton during a meeting held last week. Littleton, a row crop farmer, has earned several awards for leadership in the field of agriculture. Todd and wife, Kristin, live and farm in the Tyson Store community.

and instructional support.“Our scores are a

testament to how hard everybody is working,” Pruett said. “Our teachers will be extremely proud to see the results of their hard work. Our kids did a great job. They realized the importance of achieving and did awesome.”

Pruett said GCSD has several tools in place to help teachers and students achieve their scholastic goals that go beyond test scores.

“We focus on the mastery of the content,” he said. “Our test scores are a byproduct of knowing the material.”

Benchmark testing provides teachers with insight on where students are soaring and struggling, allowing for individualized instruction. Those tests also help principals identify teachers who need more classroom support.

GCSD used some of its First To The Top money to hire two data coaches and two assistants that spent last year meeting with teachers, training them to use testing data to improve instruction and ultimately achievement. This year the district plans to develop school-wide data teams that will meet and discuss data while sharing teaching strategies.

the Dyer Police Department with bulletproof vests, rather than the city to incur the full cost of the equipment. The city council approved the resolution 2011-195.

Ordinance 2011-203 is an ordinance to amend the annual budget of the City of Dyer for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2010 and ending June 30, 2011. The adjustments to the budget were approved and the council adopted the amendment ordinance.

Resolution 2011-194 is a resolution consenting and

Co. residents.As of July 20, county

residents were approved for $52,833.86 in Housing Assistance and $12,513.63 in Other Needs Assistance.

As of July 24 the number of residents in Gibson Co. registering for FEMA assistance was 215 people.

FEMA also provided relief funds for neighboring counties, including Carroll Co. with $16,841.70 in

Math, 12th in Social Studies and 14th in Reading.

GCSD had nearly 60 percent of its students test proficient/advanced in Reading with 6.2 percent growth, nearly 60 percent in Math with 13.5 percent growth, 75 percent in Science with 10 percent growth, and nearly 91 percent in Social Studies with 6.8 percent growth.

The district’s scores topped the county.

In his comparisons, Pruett also noted per pupil expenditure for each district. At $6,672 per pupil, GCSD has the lowest per pupil expenditure in the state but performed well enough to be counted among districts spending nearly twice that. For example, Franklin Special School District ranked just above GCSD in Science but spends $11,923 per pupil.

“I feel like we’re kind of left out,” Pruett said. “When you think about the top school districts in Tennessee, you think about Williamson County, Franklin, Johnson City and Maryville, but we’re right there with them.”

In addition to spending more per pupil, those districts generally have lower student-teacher ratios and more administrative

Housing Assistance and $8,487.93 Other Needs Assistance; and Crockett Co. with $57,789.91 in Housing Assistance, and $565.34 Other Needs Assistance.

Statewide across Tennessee, FEMA had approved $17,142,853.13 for Individual and Household Assistance for storm recovery as of July 24.

The deadline to seek

approving of the assignment of the Telecommunications Management, LLC (New Wave) cable franchise and system to Time Warner NY Cable LLC.

New Wave currently holds a franchise granted by the City of Dyer to own and operate a cable system in the community. On June 11, 2011, New Wave entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Time Warner NY Cable LLC, whereby Time Warner Cable will purchase and acquire certain cable system assets, including the

Franchise, from New Wave. New Wave and Time Warner Cable have filed an FCC Form 394 with the city and have provided to the city all information regarding the Transaction required by applicable law.

The City of Dyer will have to review the application and determine that Time Warner Cable meets the legal, technical, and financial criteria to operate the cable system under the franchise and all applicable local, state and federal laws.

Effective upon the

closing of the Transaction (the “Closing Date”), Time Warner Cable shall assume and be responsible for any obligations and liabilities under the franchise that accrue on and after the closing date, and New Wave shall be released from any obligations and liabilities under the franchise that accrue on and after the closing date.

This resolution shall take effect upon its passage and publication in accordance with applicable law.

After the city council perused the cable resolution as proposed, the members decided to table the resolution until the next regularly scheduled meeting in order to familiarize themselves with the proposed transaction between New Wave and Time Warner.

federal disaster assistance for recovery from severe storms, tornadoes and flooding is August 9.

Register with the Federal Emergency Management Agency for disaster aid by calling 800-621-FEMA (3362) 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. local time. The TTY number is 800-462-7585. Online, go to www.DisasterAssistance.gov or by smartphone or tablet to m.fema.gov.

Pruett said breaking the data down into little pieces helps guard against overwhelming teachers who already have plenty on their plates.

“Our job is to support our teachers,” he said.

The school district has also made a commitment to investing in and embracing technology, Pruett said.

“There are a lot of opportunities for students to be more involved,” he said. “When you can increase student engagement, you’ll increase student achievement.”

Continuing the upward surge will be difficult in 2011-2012 when districts will be required to test at least 60 percent of students Proficient/Advanced in Math and at least 66 percent in Reading/Language Arts.

“Those are some areas we’ll really have to hit hard,” Pruett said.

He also wants to see improvement in the African-American subgroup and in 8th grade Math scores.

The 2011 TCAP results have altered Pruett’s vision for the school district. He is no longer content with being one of the best districts in West Tennessee; he now has his sights set on being one of the best in the state.

“I can’t be happy with just West Tennessee,” he said.

Agents from the Drug Task Force were recently assisting investigators from the Tennessee Board of Probation and Parole conducting a home visit at 3 Old Trenton Dresden Road, Trenton.

While at the residence, officers discovered marijuana, finished methamphetamine product and various items used in the manufacturing and distribution of methamphetamine.

Sheriff warns, trailers make easy targetsGibson County

Sheriff investigators have made an arrest in the recent theft of a 10-foot utility trailer. The trailer was stolen from a residence in the Union Central community near Milan.

Investigators recovered the trailer at 4 Spruce Lane, Humboldt. Arrested and charged with theft over $1,000 is Clay D. Farrell, 23, of the Spruce Lane address.

Farrell was processed at the Gibson County Correctional Complex and released on $5,000 bond. A preliminary hearing is set for September 13th in Gibson County General Sessions Court at Trenton

Ambulance revenues upfrom page 1

The cost of running the Ambulance EMS Department for 2011-12 is projected to be $2,316,304, or about $6,300 per day.

Jim Overall said the county has negotiated a lower labor rate for vehicle maintenance with Steve Marsh Ford in Milan that will save the county money.

EMS averaged nearly 30 calls per day and had 404 more total calls than the previous year.

Ambulance lawsuitEarlier this year the county

filed a court injunction seeking to prevent an outside ambulance firm, Eagle Medical Services from

transporting emergency needs patients.

On July 11, County Attorney Floyd Flippin told county commissioners the lawsuit is on hold until the county sees how a similar lawsuit by Madison Co. against Eagle plays out.

“We are waiting on the decision from the Madison County Chancery Court on an identical case in Madison County,” said Mr. Flippin. “It is believed this Madison County decision will have an impact on our case. We will know by the September Commission meeting. We’ve intentionally not pursued our lawsuit to wait for Madison Co. to see how the law is

interpreted.”The county wants

exclusive rights to transport patients. However, bills have been proposed in Nashville (HB 752 and SB 685) that would prevent counties from restricting ambulance services. Local commissioners were asked to oppose those bills.

According to the state legislature, House Bill 752 as introduced prohibits counties and cities from imposing more stringent regulations on a lawfully operated, private or nonprofit ambulance service than the regulations imposed on the county or city ambulance service.

Acting on confidential information, agents of the West Tennessee Drug Task Force were recently at 200 Tull Road, Kenton investigating a possible marijuana operation.

As a result of the investigation officers discovered some 365 grams of a green leafy substance believed to be marijuana. Field test confirmed the officer’s suspicions as the substance tested positive for marijuana.

Further inspection of the home revealed rolling papers, scales and baggies used in the distribution of marijuana.

Drug Task Force arrests four in separate incidents

Arrested at the scene was Michael A. Coleman, 21, and Rodolfo Diaz, 24, of 1100 E. Santa Rosa Ave, Edcouch, Texas.

Both were charged with manufacturing a Schedule VI controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. They are held in the Gibson County Correctional Complex without bond.

A preliminary hearing was set for July 19th in Gibson County General Sessions Court at Trenton.

Wow! What a wonderful gift we received late Sunday afternoon as the sky darkened, thunder rumbled, lightning flashed and beautiful refreshing rain fell. It was certainly needed and we consider it ‘Showers of Blessing.’

We had lots of empty pews at Bethpage Sunday as many families are trying to work in some vacation time before school starts. Those away were missed but we hope they are having a good time and safe travel. Brittany Leitherland had a birthday last week so she brought her money down and was sung to. Jo and Tina played ‘Follow Me’ during quiet time. Sorry, I didn’t get the other music noted. I’m old and slow you know.

We had a large list of names added to our prayer concerns. Please pray this week for those mentioned. Bro James preached from Eph 5:15-21 on the subject

‘Let’s Take a Walk.’ His message Sunday night was ‘Words Will Never Be Enough’ with the text from Ex. 15:6 and 11 and references from Rom. 2:3-4, 2 Pet 3:9 and 1 Pet 2:1-3.

Congratulations go to Emily Littleton who passed the State Boards Nursing Exam and is now officially an RN. You did good, Em.

Sympathy is extended to the Walter Dodson family. Walter passed away last week and was buried at Bethpage on Friday.

Get well wishes go to Tommy Griggs who is in the hospital to have a procedure. Also, Mac’s mom, Joyce McMackin had surgery last week and we wish her a speedy recovery. Carlton Williams’ sister,

Katherine Garrett from Memphis is not doing well. She is undergoing treatment for cancer. Jean Littleton reported that her cousin, Thomas Eaves has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

The Brent Griggs family returned from a trip to Gulf Shores and reported a great time. They said those kids loved the beach.

The Smithson clan and Cochran family returned late Sunday afternoon following several days on ball fields in Pulaski and Nashville watching their kids and grandkids playing in ball tournaments. They reported it was hot but they had fun.

We are looking forward to our revival coming up in a couple of weeks. Bro Jerry Legg will be doing the preaching. Look for the times in the Tri City. Also, if you are puzzled by the book of Revelation, you have an opportunity to learn more about it at Bethpage. Bro Damon Duck will be conducting a study beginning Sunday night, July 31 and four Wednesday nights in August and September I think that will be announced in the Tri City and anyone who is interested is certainly welcome to attend.

From the Pastor’s pen: The time when Christians begin to sing in the ways of the Lord is when they trust their burdens to Christ at the foot of the Cross. Do you remember the place when Jesus Christ met you and said, “I have loved you with an everlasting Love?” Psalm 138:5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the Lord: for great is the glory of the Lord.

When you are ready please read I John 3:13. What did Jesus Say?

“And this is the judgment that the light hath come to the world, and men did love the darkness rather than the light for their works were evil for every one who is doing wicked things hateth the light and doth not come unto the light. That his works may not be detected.” John 3:19-20 YLT (Young’s Literal Translation).

Jesus came. Just before Jesus went to

the cross where He would die for their sin and ours. He explained: “If you love me, keep my commandments” John 14:15 NKJV.

Jesus died on His cross, Jesus was buried, God raised Jesus from he dead.

After 40 days, Jesus gathered with His disciples on Mount Olivet. He told them that they would be His witnesses.

“Now when He had spoken these things while they watched he was taken up and a cloud received him

out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up behold two men stood by them in white apparel who also said, “Men of Galille why do stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus who was taken up from you returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey” Acts 1:9-12 NKJV. What did the angel say?

Jesus returned to heaven. God sent His spirit to live in and through His disciples after Jesus returned to heaven.

I’m sure that you remember that moment you received Jesus as your Savior and as your Lord. I’d say to Him, “Jesus come into my heart.” I knew that I was asking Jesus to be my Savior and Lord. At that second my heart changed. Before I got up off my knees. I wanted to pray another prayer. What do you think was my next prayer?

Treatment for SinusitisSinusitis is an inflammation of the sinuses, typically

along with inflammation of the nasal passages. The causes may be bacteria or a virus, however a virus is more common. Each year, over 30 million adults in the United States are affected by sinusitis. Symptoms include nasal congestion, runny nose, cough, fever, fatigue, headache, and facial pressure. If a virus is the cause, symptoms typically improve or resolve completely within approximately one to two weeks. If certain symptoms last longer than a week or if symptoms become worse, bacteria may be the cause.

Whether the cause is a virus or bacteria, generally treatment consists of therapy to improve symptoms for the first 10 days, unless symptoms are severe or become worse. Typically, the condition will resolve within 10 days. For relief of pain, nonsteriodal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen (Advil) may be taken,. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) also may be taken for pain relief. Mometasone (Nasonex) is a nasally inhaled corticosteroid that works to reduce inflammation. Oxymetazoline (Afrin, others) is a decongestant that may also be used intranasally. Ipratropium bromide (Atrovent) sprayed into the nostrils may alleviate a runny nose. If the cause is determined to be bacterial, amoxicillin (Moxatag) or another antibiotic may be prescribed.

Dyer Church of Christ By Sabrina Sullivan

Morning worship services had an attendance 100 and 69 in Sunday school.

Our message for the morning service came from the book of Mark 3:13-19, Jesus calls the twelve. Jesus prays before the choice. Jesus chose busy men, hard workers. Jesus taught them and gave them the power to heal and cast out demons. Jesus will call no new apostles (witnesses of the resurrection). The apostles are still the foundation for the church through their words, the Bible.

Our message for the evening service came from the book of 1John 2:15-17, do not love the world. If we love the world the love of the father is not in us. All the things of this world will pass away only God is eternal.

Remember in Prayer: Danny Gathings, Josh Tharpe, Maxie Taylor, Debbie Petty, Jerry and Reitha Martin, all of our shut-ins and one’s in

nursing homes.We had a wonderful

VBS this week. Thanks to our teachers, actors and coordinators for the learning centers, servers, cooks and anyone who brought snacks.

Many thanks to Ms. Mynonne’s class, 3-5 graders for delivering the flowers to the hospital in Trenton Sunday afternoon. I know they had a great time visiting and especially getting to stop a McDonalds afterwards.

Announcements: The youth will be going midnight bowling this Friday night July 29th. If any of our youth is interested in going please meet at the church at 10 p.m. Bring enough money for bowling and to eat breakfast afterwards.

Mark your calendars, our next activity Sunday will be July 31st. We will have a special message, an “add a dish” meal after services and an early service at 2 p.m.

New Hope By Shirley Hooper

Sunday morning we heard exciting reports from the week of Vacation Bible School, PandaMania.

Special music was the inspirational “We bless your name” sung by Scarlett Russell and Terry Owens. Our minister, Brother Corey Meggs spoke on “Leaving a legacy” from 11 Timothy. This is Paul’s final letter. We are reminded we have what it takes. With the help of the Holy Spirit we can leave a legacy blessed by God.

Sunday evening we enjoyed the VBS program. After marching in, saluting the flags and Bible, they fired the super-dupper cannon filled with confetti and toys. They reported the Bible messages for each day. Certificates were given and each class honored.

Everyone enjoyed fellowship and good finger food since Brother Corey

convinced us that fried chicken is finger food.

Remember the many on our prayer list.

Joan Gregory will be in concert at New Hope next Sunday, July 31 at 6 p.m. On Wednesday, August 3 we welcome the Kingsmen. Come join us. Answer to last week’s Bible quiz, “God moves in mysterious ways His wonders to perform” is not from the Bible but was said by a man named Cowper.

Let’s have a joke this week. A man died who had lived a very sinful life without Christ. When he arrived in torment he began bossing everyone around. He got so dominating they reported him to satan. He asked the man, “How come you act like you own this place?” The man answered, “I do, my wife gave it to me when I was living.”

When was the last time you took a “gamble” on love? Did you “let it ride” or was it “no dice”? That’s the question faced by the characters in the Nite Lite Children’s Theatre production of “Guys and Dolls Jr.”

The musical comedy “Guys and Dolls Jr.” is the story of an unlikely romance between Sarah Brown, a pure at heart missionary, and Sky Masterson, a slick Broadway gambler. Can she change his wicked ways? As an added game, there’s a second romance between Nathan Detroit and Miss Adelaide, who have been engaged for fourteen years! Nathan is a big time gambler and Miss Adelaide is the main attraction at the Hot Box nightclub. This production includes the musical numbers “Luck Be A Lady” and “A Bushel And A Peck.” Our cast includes from Milan, Will Berry, Bailey Brown, Sierra Gonzalez-Cruz, Matthew Hawkins, Abby Lambert, Erin Lawrence, Zach Pike, Daniel Pierson, Noah Shackelford, and Dylan Watson, from

Medina, Sondie Capps, Joy Wright, and Justin Wright, from Jackson, Sierra Glosson, from Trenton, Eli McCaig, from Dyer, Lawson Mann, from Humbodlt, Heather Porter, and from Alamo, J.D. Thompson.

Show dates are August 5th and August 6th at 7 p.m. and August 7 at 2 p.m. All shows will be held at the Milan Middle School auditorium. Ticket prices are $5 for children 17 and under, $10 for adults, and a senior group rate of $9. To “ante up” for your tickets, please call the Nite Lite office at 855-2129.

Gibson County High School senior, Lawson Mann, had a dream. Lawson’s dream of being a playwright will come true Saturday, July 30 at 7 p.m. at Milan Middle School auditorium. Lawson wrote a play,

“Five Witches, Four Warlocks, and a Mortal” during his junior year of high school. This summer as a part of the Nite Lite Theatre Children’s program, Lawson’s play will be presented. Cast members from “Guys and

Dolls, Jr.” have done double duty when it comes to learning lines since they are in both shows. Lanny Poteet, Jr. has served as Lawson’s mentor during this learning experience which centers around a story which involves a family with magical powers who choose to try to live without them. Then the daughter dates a mortal and the fun begins! Come support the cast July 30 at 7:00. The performance is free of charge but donations will be accepted to add to the Nite Lite scholarship fund.

KATHERINE SUE WATSON MCEWEN

Dyer - Funeral services for Katherine Sue Watson McEwen, 79, were July 10, 2011, at the New Bethlehem Baptist Church of Dyer with Bro. John Coleman and Bro. Corey Meggs officiating. Interment followed in Oakwood Cemetery of Dyer.

Mrs. McEwen passed away from this life on July 8, 2011, at her residence.

Mrs. Katherine was born August 15, 1931, in Bradford; the daughter of the late Jim and Mary Bell Pigg Watson. She worked as a private sitter before retiring.

Mrs. McEwen is survived by her spouse, Harvey McEwen, Jr.; three children, Patty Stafford and husband Harrell, Janie Howard and husband Myles, David McEwen and wife Vicky; a sister, Joyce Reynolds, one brother, Robert Watson; nine grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents, one sister, Mary Alice Vansickle and one great-granddaughter.

Karnes and Son Funeral Home was honored to serve the family of Mrs. Kat.

Eurby Sanders of Gibson and Cindy Lamar of Kenton met Tim, Sharon, Kennedy, and Trevor Lamar and Bill Neese all of Millington at Reelfoot Lake at the Lakeview Restaurant for a delicious catfish dinner. Taking their time dining as well as afterwards, the group enjoyed talking and laughing at the humorous stories ‘G’daddy’ told of his childhood.

Amanda McAlister was honored last Friday afternoon with a baby shower by her fellow co-workers at the Dyer Nursing Home. She received a large selection of gifts as well as a “baby-butt” cake specially made by a friend. Guests enjoyed cake and nuts while watching Amanda unwrap the many nice gifts she received. Her mother, Cindy Lamar and grandmother Freda Lamar were present to enjoy the celebration.

Our deepest heartfelt condolences go out the family and friends of Walter Dodson. Walter

passed from this life to his heavenly reward last week and will be sorely missed by his many family and friends who love him.

Food for thought: Don’t face your troubles all alone, take God’s hand, He’ll lead you on.He wants to help you through thick and thin. He wants to be your very best friend. Just open your heart, He’ll come inside, and in your heart He’ll forever abide.

Prayer List: Jimmy Simmons, Amanda Davis, Jackie Zarizor, Vickie Robinson, Ronnie Robinson Sr., Elaine and Jesse Davidson, Carol and Bobby Primrose, Doris and Sam Weatherly, Elmer and Virginia Williams, Paul Lee Williams, Regina Miller, Judy Webb, David Stephenson, Lil and WT Wardlow, Racine Hodges, Eurby Sanders, Freda Lamar, Easton Hopper, Joe Smith, Henry and Cathy Hearne, Gwen Rickards, Sally Copeland and Clint McLodge.

Sixteen members braved the heat for our weekly meeting at the First Baptist Church Fellowship Hall. It is always a delight to have Tyree and Katie White back with us.

In the absence of our President and Vice President Brother Jerry Legg and Jane Forsythe respectively Carlene Stephenson presided. Kenneth McEwen voiced the blessing on the bountiful feast spread before us.

Following our food and fellowship many prayer concerns were expressed for Elaine Hendricks, Bonnie Pipkin, Nell Needham, Brother Legg, Glenda

Woods, Alice Ernest, Virginia Davidson, Mr. and Mrs. Prince and the team heading for New Hampshire. Prayer was led by Ann Thompson.

Kenneth McEwen led the congregation in singing “Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus: and “Because He Lives” followed by his special “Thank You Lord For Your Blessings To Me.”

Brother Dewayne Goodgine led the devotional with member input. He chose John 10, verse 7 as the basis, The parable of the good Shepard, Does Jesus know your name?

Brother Goodgine dismissed the group with prayer.

We enjoyed a wonderful day in God’s house this past Sunday. We were blessed with two specials, one by Natalie Farrar and one by Johnny Cavender. The title of the message was “Refusing To Do Nothing!”

God is calling on His people to carry on with His work. How are we responding to His call? If you are not hearing His call either He doesn’t know you or your not being still long enough to hear Him.

Even if you are refusing to do anything for the Lord that is still doing something. It may be negative but you are impacting someone somewhere by doing nothing.

It is time for us to allow

God to be in the drivers seat instead of the backseat of our life. People are allowing so many things to control their lives, but when it comes to Jesus sadly they turn and run.

What would we be facing if Jesus had refused to go to the cross for our sins. It’s time we as God’s children stop doing nothing and start doing something for the kingdom. Respond to Him.

Scrip Ref: Matt. 12:30 “He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.”

Be in prayer for Mrs. Shirley Pruitt, Mrs. Patsy Moon, The Holloway Family, The Ray Family, unspoken request.

Praise the Lord for the refreshing rain we received Sunday. I think my little garden put on a smile!

The crowd was down some Sunday with the Iowa Mission Team not being there. They left out early Sunday morning and arrived about five Sunday afternoon. They will return Saturday evening.

Bro. Jason’s message, “Pilate’s Problems with Peer Pressure” was taken from

Mark 15: 1-15. The Sunday evening message was, “The Final Seal and Four Trumpets” from Revelation 8.

Those having birthdays this week are: Jeff Johnson, Tim Featherston, Neele Turner, Adolph Beard, Brock Horner, and Nancy Gilmore.

If you are looking for a home church, come join us. We have a place for everyone. Until next week, God Bless.

Another great day was enjoyed on Sunday as we gathered together to worship God. We should all look forward to being with each other to fellowship and give homage to our great God. It was good to see our sister Barbara Wiley able to be at services. Jean Harris was home with her sick granddaughter, Amber. As of this writing she is doing much better. James White was also able to come without his oxygen as he is doing much better. Let us also remember his wife Peggy in the Dyer Nursing Home.

Many people in the Bible put their “Faith on the line for God.” They were people like Noah, Rahab, Gideon, Peter and the most of the apostles, and many others who showed us that there is a certain element of risk involved in faith. But none is as impressive as Jesus Christ. He put His faith on the line several times, but the garden of Gethsemane was a moment worthy of mention. For Christ putting His faith on the line meant resolving to do the will of God, even if it meant a cross. We will see this drama in the garden of Gethsemane. Adam and Eve had failed in a garden, but Jesus will succeed. Our text comes from Mark 14:22-42. I pray that you would get your Bibles and read this before reading the rest of our article.

We see faith on the line in a haunting place (V.32). This place was often inviting. The disciples gathered here often (John 18:2) No doubt it served as a place of refuge during that difficult week. The disciples could unwind here while Jesus prayed, but not tonight. Those old snarly olive trees were more spooky than inviting. Sometimes our place of refuge to pray to God is not inviting. Maybe we need to find a “garden” this week were we can pray without distractions.

We see faith on the line in the midst of disappointing partners (vv. 33a, 37-40) Jesus wants to be alone,

and yet He wants the close association of at least three of His disciples, Peter, James and John. Our dilemma when we put our faith on the line is that we often have to do it alone. People will let you down often when you are in a crunch. Peter denied Him three times. Judas betrayed Him for 30 pieces of silver. All of His disciples would forsake Him. Jesus knew we must learn that only God the Father is with you all the time.

We see faith on the lone through intense pain (VV. 33b-35). Everything hurts in this text! There is painful posture, painful time, and painful vocabulary. Jesus is “surrounded by sorrow.” Rarely do we advance in faith without difficulty. One of the strongest teachings in Scripture for believers is that they are incomplete without the benefit of trials. (James 1:2f, 1 Peter 1:6)

We see faith on the line through earnest prayer (v. 36). Perhaps this is the key to the whole text. Jesus resolves to do the will of God in the context of prayer. In this prayer we see: an enduring acknowledgement. Abba, Father, a frustrating admission, all things are possible with you, a dynamic request, let this cup pass from me, and an absolute resolution, not what I will, but what you will. Jesus learned obedience through what He suffered, and He learned it by offering up prayers, sweat drops as blood, and tears. What makes us think that it will any different for us?

Jesus knew that He must go to the cross. But now He was ready. He faced His betrayer and His enemies courageously. He was truly a different man coming out of the garden than He was when He went in. Sometimes we gain victory through pain. Will you put your faith on the line for Jesus today? Obey His commandments and become a Christian. We want to help. Give us a call. 665-7122.

New Hope Baptist Church Sunday, July 31st at 6 p.m.

This will be our 5th Sunday night singing.

New Hope Baptist Church 132 New Hope Rd. Dyer.

‘Hallelujah, Thine the Glory, Revive Us Again’is one of my favorite hymns and we had an opportunity to sing it this week as we entered into our summer revival.

We are so blessed to have Pastor Dave Albert and his wife Winnie here with us. We have already heard three inspiring sermons and are looking forward to what else the Lord has for us.

Among our other visitors are Jan and Glenda, friends who came all the way from Michigan with Linda Carmoney, just to experience a Tennessee revival service. All three are staying with Ann Taylor and getting the red carpet treatment.

The youth choir from Bells Chapel, with leader Connie Flowers, sang for us. They did a great job and blessed our hearts. And we had many other visitors that attended services and our fellowship meal.

Louise Turner was in charge of our Children’s Sermon and told the story of a rabbit who learned to be satisfied with who he was and what God and created him to do.....hop around.

Each of us are wondrously created in the image of God with plans for our lives ordained by God. If we are obedient and faithful to God, we can be satisfied with who we are and be about the task of glorifying the Lord.

Linda Carmoney

presented a song she wrote, ‘Astound Me with Your Presence’ as our special music. Sandy Whitley and Rene Rutherford are each sharing their musical talents during our revival time by leading and playing the piano, respectively.

Pastor Dave’s morning message was on the subject of love. We are identified as Christians by our love, for God and for others. We should love selflessly, sacrificially, understandingly and forgivingly.

The Sunday evening message was about Truth. We heard a story about Hilda and Benjamin that helped us to see that knowing the truth of a situation is all-important. The two most important truths we can embrace are to trust Jesus and to trust His word. After all, Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

Monday’s service was well attended and we enjoyed special music from Kasey Harris and Linda Carmoney. Bro. Dave brought a powerful message about the things that only Jesus can do.

We want to wish Jimmy Winters and Bro. Don Cooper both a Happy Birthday this week. We also want to remember Nerine Cowan and Randy Baird in our prayers. Have a wonderful week, try to keep cool and I’ll see you in church on Sunday!

We had very good service at St. Paul Sunday morning. Pastor Pounds was back home safe and sound and full of reports from Nigeria, Africa. He delivered the message, his topic was, “A gift that has no expiration date” was found in Mathew 24:4-14. The Youth Department did the devotion and provided the music.

Many relatives and friends attended the funeral of Joe Ray Simpson Saturday at 1 p.m. at Beech Grove M.B. Church of Rutherford. Pastor Roscoe Myles officiated the service.

It was reported that Joe Ray’s brother, J.W. Simpson’s funeral was held at the same day and hour in Mayfield, KY. Our love and sympathy is extended to those families and all other bereaved families.

My brother, Jerry Warren is back in Jackson General Hospital. Charles carried him to the emergency room Sunday morning and he was admitted. Please remember him in your prayers.

Lil Sarah and other Gibson County High School Band members survived another hot week of band camp. She was really happy when it was over.

Harriette Alford and I were in Jackson last week for her eye doctor’s appointment. I visited Ruby Warren in the Martin Health Care Center last Thursday. She is doing very well. God Bless and have a good week.

Can I can on my smooth cooktop? The National Center for Home Food Preservation recommendations are to follow the manufacturer’s advice. Styles of smooth cooktops being manufactured differs in ways that influence suitability for canning. Some smooth cooktop manufacturers say do not can on them, while others who say it is okay still put stipulations on the diameter of the canner compared to the diameter of the burner. Boiling water or pressure canners may not be available that meet the maximum diameter pot they allow. There are several issues:

1. There can be damage to the cooktop from the excessive heat that reflects back down on the surface, especially if the canners used are too large of a diameter than is intended for the burner being used. The damage can range from discoloration of white tops to actual burner damage to cracking of the glass tops to fusion of the metal to the glass top. Even if a manufacturer says a burner/cooktop can be used

for canning, be aware that scratching can occur if the aluminum canner is slid or pulled across the cooktop. This often happens with large, heavy filled canners, so be careful.

2. Many of these cooktops have automatic cut-offs on their burners when heat gets excessive. If that option is built in, and the burner under a canner shuts off during the process time, then the product will be under processed and cannot be salvaged as a canned food. The process time must be continuous at the intended temperature, or microorganisms may survive. Also, if the pressure drops quickly, most likely liquid and maybe even food will be lost from the jar (it will spill over from the area of higher pressure inside the jar to the lower pressure now in the canner around the jar).

3. Even if boiling water canning is approved by the manufacturer, it may be necessary to fashion your own canner out of a flat-bottomed stockpot with a bottom rack inserted. Many canners do not have flat enough bottoms to work

well on a smooth cooktop to be able to maintain a full boil over the tops of the jars. The pot used as a canner must also be large enough to have lots of water boiling freely around the jars, and at least 1 inch over the tops of jars. If the canner is too small, then it starts boiling faster than expected and the total required heat the jars receive in the canner even before the process time begins can be too short.

Remember to contact the manufacturer of your smooth cooktop before making your decision to can (or not) on it. They are the recommended source of this information and may also have up-to-date alternatives or suggestions for equipment that you can use. Also be aware that you might have to be sure they understand how large your boiling water or pressure canner is, how long it must be heated at high heat, how long the hot canner may stay on the burner until it cools after the process time, and that the canner is made from aluminum (if it is). UT Extension provides equal opportunities in programs and employment.

Help with canning on smooth cooktop BY BARBARA BERRY,

FCS ETENSION AGENT

God is good all the time and all the time God is good! Work Day for the New Hopewell Presbytery on Saturday was a success. We sold barbeque plates to our guest and others and had a great time. Sunday we had a wonderful Sunday School and morning worship. Rev. Jeremy Myles brought us an inspiring message from God. His title was ‘It’s My Time and It’s My Season.’ The male chorus sang and we had a high time in the Lord.

Sunday afternoon we journeyed to Jackson to the Mt. Tabor Cumberland Presbyterian Church in America. Rev. Myles preached a dynamic message

Clora’s Chapel By Robin McNeil

titled, ‘A Pastor According to God’s Heart.’ It was very fitting for the occasion. Rev. Dr. Stan Wood became the proud pastor of Mt. Tabor. Our Sanctuary choir did the singing.

Fifth Sunday Union will be at Badgett Chapel Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Rutherford. At 4 p.m. Cloras Chapel will have afternoon service. Members are expected to come and others are invited and welcome. Rev. Myles will be in Revival starting Wednesday and going through Friday at the Sixth Street Baptist Church in Humboldt. Service will begin nightly at 7 p.m. Our

choir will render the music on Friday night. Everyone is invited to come and receive God’s word.

August 6-7 we will be having Women’s Conference beginning at 10 a.m. Saturday and the finale will be Sunday at 3. Please take an ad out for our souvenir booklet for our Annual Homecoming Day, which will be the fourth Sunday in August. Ransom Temple Cumberland Presbyterian Church in America from Nashville, will be our special guest. Plans are being made for a great day.

For everything there is a time and a season. Be blessed and have a good week!
