JOINING FORCES – The unique task force against violent crime and gangs that was organized last week in Gibson Co. involved District Attorney Garry Brown, Gibson Co. Sheriff Chuck Arnold, Humboldt Police Chief Raymond Simmons, Madison Co. Sheriff David Woolfork, and Trenton Police Chief Will Sanders.

BY STEVE SHORTIn a sweeping law enforcement operation that

many called unprecedented, officers from five counties as well as state and federal levels joined forces Friday night, Oct. 26 to conduct a pushback against gangs and violent crime in Gibson Co. and West Tennessee.

District Attorneys Garry Brown (Gibson, Crockett and Haywood Counties) and Jerry Woodall (Madison, Chester and Henderson Counties) joined 65 law enforcement officers from 18 local, state and federal agencies at the Humboldt airport before fanning out across the region to conduct raids. 18 people were arrested in Gibson Co. during the night.

The force was called a “multijurisdictional violent crime and gang task force,” by Special Agent in Charge Donald Blackwell of the West Tenn. Judicial Violent Crime and Drug Task Force.

Officers formed six teams that conducted an “enforcement saturation,” including raids in

Humboldt, Milan, Trenton, Dyer, Medina and rural parts of Gibson Co.

“Law enforcement (officers) in West Tennessee work together across jurisdictional boundaries every day,” said Agent Blackwell. “These types of operations allow us to make the citizens aware that their public servants are doing everything in their power to make their communities safe. This operation involved the District Attorney Generals, mayors, sheriffs, chiefs of police, and boots on the ground, law enforcement officers all working together to make a statement to those that are the criminal element in our communities.”

The operation was part of a continued effort of law enforcement working together to address the serious problem of gang violence and criminal activity in the 26th and 28th Judicial Districts, according to Agent Blackwell.

Officers conducted zero tolerance patrols in high crime areas, looking to serve outstanding arrest

Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam and the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development joined with company officials today to announce MacLean Power Systems will locate a manufacturing plant in Gibson County. This announcement represents an investment of $12 million by the company, and the Trenton project, located at 1465 Industrial Park Drive, is anticipated to create 250 jobs.

“This is exciting news for our state. MacLean Power Systems has a global presence, so this announcement speaks well for how attractive the Tennessee business climate is,” Haslam said. “Trenton is in an area that will benefit greatly from these jobs, and I know the company will find hard-working Tennesseans are good, quality employees. MacLean Power Systems and Tennessee will be a strong partnership.”

Representative Curtis Halford (R-Dyer) joined the

Governor in applauding the move by MacLean Power Systems. “This is welcome news for an area that needs a jolt in high-quality manufacturing jobs,” stated Halford. “Gibson County and the entire West Tennessee region is a great crossroads for commerce. I have no doubt MacLean Power will be a strong partner for economic growth here in Tennessee. I appreciate the commitment they have made to our community.”

“MacLean Power Systems is another great addition to our state,” Allen Borden, ECD assistant commissioner, statewide operations, said. “Under Governor Haslam’s leadership, we continue to recruit highly-skilled, high wage jobs for our residents, and this announcement is a product of a successful economic development strategy.”

MacLean Power Systems is a leading manufacturer of products used globally by electric utilities for building transmission and distribution lines and substations. MacLean Power Systems product families include hardware, connectors, insulators, anchoring

The City of Dyer Board of Mayor and Alderpersons met in regular session Monday, October 22, 2012 at 7 p.m.

Mayor Thompson informed the board that Randy Nelson visited the sewer plant to monitor the sewer grant improvements. The sewer grant work is now completed. A representative from Smith and Loveless will come soon to start the pista grit system and ensure that it is working properly.

Nelson also informed the mayor that the city would have a better chance to receive a sewer line rehab grant rather than a housing grant during the next round of funding. The sewer line rehab grant would be for $350,000.

Mayor Thompson advised that he is still waiting for quotes for debris pickup from Barker Brothers Waste.

•I will work to keep city taxes as low as possible.•I will continue to monitor department expenses to ensure needs are met.•I will continue to seek grants to benefit our town.

I appreciate your vote and support.Political ad paid for by the candidate.

I read an amazing statistic the other day. It seems we Americans are on track to spend some eight billion dollars on Halloween this year. That’s right, eight billion, a 10.7% increase over last year. In spite of the fact that we’re in the deepest and longest recessions since the Great Depression, we are spending money like drunken sailors for Halloween costumes, candy and yard decorations.

Oh yes, and cards too. We’ll plunk down a not so paltry 440 million for Halloween greeting cards. The holiday is second only to Christmas in separating us from our money and putting us in debt.

How could such a macabre, pagan inspired, some would say antireligious celebration become more popular than Easter or Thanksgiving?

Well, it has a longer history than Thanksgiving,

and some say longer even than Easter. Although no one knows for sure, most people think Halloween’s roots lie in ancient harvest festivals from thousands of years ago, because throughout recorded history, and undoubtedly far back into prehistory as well, people have celebrated the end of the harvest season in one way or another. The earliest record of such events comes from the ancient Celts, people who lived in what we now know as Ireland, Scotland, England and Northern France.

The ancient Celtic calendar year began on November 1, which meant, of course, that the old year ended on October 31, which they also considered to be the last day of summer and the end of the harvest season. It also marked the beginning of the long, dark and dangerous days of

winter.The Celts, like most

primitive peoples, were fearful and superstitious. They believed that on the last day of the year, October 31 for them, the boundary between the living world and that of the dead became blurred and overlapped. This blurring, they thought, allowed spirits of the dead to come back to earth to roam around causing sickness, destruction of crops and all sorts of other mischief.

Their priests, known as Druids, were thought to acquire special powers of divination and prophesy on this date, giving them the ability to predict the future and tell people’s fortunes, which they did.

To ward off the spirits of the dead, which were believed to be roaming all over the countryside, and who were thought to hate and fear light, the people would build huge bonfires on the early evening of October 31. There they would gather, singing, dancing and telling each other’s fortunes.

To keep the spirits at bay, at some point people began wearing masks while traveling to and from the bonfire celebration, in order to fool the spirits into thinking the people were ghosts also. Some also wore costumes made out of animal skins.

By the 700’s, a rudimentary form of Christianity had come to the Celtic lands, and Pope Gregory III decided to

move All Saints Day, a day honoring saints and martyrs, from May 13, to November 1. Some say he did so in order to co-opt the Celtic celebration and cleanse it of its pagan activities; if not, the date is surely a remarkable coincidence.

Two hundred and fifty years later, another pope decreed that the day following All Saints Day would become All Souls Day. All Souls Day was celebrated much like the old Celtic pagan celebration with bonfires, parades and dressing in costumes as saints, angels and devils. In Middle English, the term for all saints was “hallows” and the night before “hallows” was called “All Hallows Even (eve)” Hmm.

A practice also sprang up known as souling, which consisted of people going from door to door and promising to pray for the souls of a household’s recently departed members in exchange for “soul cakes” or other sweets or treats, or sometimes even money. Sound familiar?

When America was settled, Pilgrims and Puritans took a dim view of harvest festivals, or any other kind of celebrations, but during the great immigration wave of the 1800’s, especially among

the Irish, the idea of harvest celebrations came too, and soon such events spread all across the country. Originally, Halloween parties were basically harvest festivals where people danced, sang and told stories about dead relatives and friends, and just for fun, tried to tell each other’s fortunes.

By the end of the 19th Century however, festive costumes had been added and pranks and mischief making had become common. The idea of Halloween, it seems, just wouldn’t die, and during the first part of the 20th Century it became a part of every town. It was marred, however, by increasingly violent pranks. Partly to combat this, one community after another began to steer the holiday in the direction of small children, and sometime (most say during the 1920’s) the controversial practice of trick-or-treating began to take hold. Some called it extortion, others, begging, but throughout the 30’s, the practice became more and more widespread.

It ground nearly to a halt during World War II because of sugar rationing, but after the war it returned with a vengeance, and by 1952, it was an American institution.

But the holiday still has its detractors. First, there are those who object on moral or philosophical grounds. The pope, and several protestant leaders as well, have complained about the holiday. Some argue that it promotes greed and vandalism instead of teaching children about goodness or the unattractiveness of evil. Others say the whole holiday, regardless of how “child friendly” we make it, has an undercurrent of occultism that borders on being anti-Christian.

Even some who like Halloween agree that things have gotten out of hand, citing everything from the obvious problems of stomach aches from too much candy and bad dreams from frightful or grotesque costumes to the various accidents that invariably occur on Halloween night. Not to mention the economic cost of the inevitable acts of vandalism.

We celebrate Halloween at our house with pumpkins and bats and ghosts and witches and all the happy trappings in between, but frankly, I dislike the holiday. I think we’d all be better off without it.

And I’ll bet that secretly, most of you do too.

Letters to the Editor:

Americans aren’t getting a more open government

Americans were promised more transparent and open government. Are you seeing through what government is doing? I guess transparency, like the Affordable Health Care Act must be felt before you can see it. It’s obvious that everything costs more and the value of the dollar is going down.

The administration’s neglect and excuse for the Libyan attacks that claimed the lives of our Ambassador and three other Americans is transparent and frankly

offensive! The signs that read “Obama We Are All Osama” on September 11 were revealing! Is apologizing repeatedly for an obscure video ‘offensive’ to Muslims before the UN General Assembly 14 days after Islamic violence and murders worthy of a US President or our ‘Commander In Chief?’

Do insults and personal attacks leveled at Romney and Ryan by the president and vice president reflect the dignity of the office, provide

clarity or insight on issues or the record of the first term?

Does bragging, “GM is alive and Ben Laden is dead!” cover both domestic and foreign policy?

Are events and numbers provided by ‘official’ sources reflecting transparent facts?

I’m not finding ‘transparency’ to be trustworthy. Deception, misdirection and character attacks don’t support transparency!

MacLean Power Systems to establishsystems and a variety of protection devices. With 15 global manufacturing sites, MacLean Power Systems produces over 10,000 items.

“MacLean Power Systems is excited to locate our operations in Trenton. We are looking forward to growing our business and creating opportunities here in west Tennessee,” Barry L. MacLean, president and CEO of MacLean-Fogg Company, said. “The tireless efforts of the City of Trenton, the Industrial Board, Trenton Water and Light, and the State of Tennessee were major factors in our decision to locate here. The availability of ready and suitable facilities and a friendly business climate were critical to our decision.”

The facility will produce hardware and connector products and is projected to begin initial operations in the first half of 2013.

“The Board of Aldermen and I are thrilled with the new relationship between the City of Trenton and

MacLean Power LLC,” Trenton Mayor Tony Burriss said. “Their presence in Trenton will change the lives of the people in Gibson County and West Tennessee.”

“I want to thank the State of Tennessee, Gibson County, The City of Trenton, Trenton Light and Water and The Greater Gibson County Chamber of Commerce for such a whole hearted effort in recruiting Maclean. This is a perfect example of what a coordinated effort can do to change lives,” said Ed Norman, President of the Trenton Industrial Development Board.

“Being a long time customer of MacLean Power Systems, I can attest to the quality of both the company and their products,” Bret Fisher, general manager, Trenton Light & Water said. “This move will prove to be of great benefit to both MacLean and the City of

Trenton.”MacLean Power Systems

warrants, doing unannounced checks on felons on state probation or parole, and unannounced checks on registered sex offenders.

“The main focus of this enforcement action was an attempt to curb the criminal street gang’s unlawful activities and influence our neighborhoods,” said Special Agent Blackwell. “Generals Garry Brown and Jerry Woodall are both committed to this endeavor.”

“I’ve never seen something this size before in my career,” said Garry Brown. “We should all be very proud of the cooperative effort.” He said recent crime sweeps were the idea of District Atty. Woodall. “He did the ground work, and I appreciate him including my district,” said Mr. Brown.

Before the raids began, Mr. Brown told officers that twenty years ago a Memphis law enforcement official said Gibson Co. only had “wannabe” gang members. But now the area is seeing real gang crime.

“We have gang activity in Humboldt and across the

rural area,” said Mr. Brown. “Sometimes it seems like they’re more organized, and they’re sharing information. So now we’re organizing and sharing information. Tonight is about a show of force and showing that we’re going to push back.”

“We have a lot of gang activity that goes back and forth between our districts,” said Agent Blackwell. “We hope to scare some of them and get the criminals’ and street gangs’ attention. We want to let the populace know that we’re not turning a blind eye to gang violence. We’re going to address it. We will do everything within our power and the law to bring people to justice.”

Danny Lewis, Asst. Director with the Violent Crime and Drug Task Force led officers in prayer at the airport before they formed teams. The mood was serious. “We’re dealing with gangs now, and the next level is the cartels,” cautioned District Attorney Woodall.

Humboldt Mayor Allen Barker encouraged the officers to “stay safe” during the operation, which called for officers to use deadly force if needed.

Gibson Co. Sheriff Chuck Arnold said law abiding people have the right to go about their business without fear of criminals.

“We’re coming together tonight as one to give people a sense of security,” said Mr. Arnold. “When we pool our resources we can make a difference. We’ll do everything to provide a level of security to our citizens.”

Unprecedented forceMr. Arnold said the

operation was the largest of its kind he’d seen as a Sheriff. “I did not see this operation as police showboating or heavy handed law enforcement, but rather a proactive response to crime,” Mr. Arnold said after

the raids. “Each of the teams consisted of seasoned officers led by top level supervisors. Those combinations created a professional atmosphere necessary for such an operation to maintain credibility.”

Said Trenton Police Chief Will Sanders, “I haven’t seen this many multicounty agencies involved in an operation in 36 years since I’ve been with the police department. We’ve always been this way about working with each other, but it’s just never been publicized to this extent. We’re quadrupling our resources.”

Raids began in Humboldt around 6:45 p.m. and arrests were made for possession of cocaine, marijuana and prescription pills. A drug dog from the Jackson Police Dept. Canine Unit sniffed out drugs in one house. A hand gun belonging to a convicted felon was recovered and taken to the Gibson Co. Sheriff’s Department.

Officers involved in the sweep came from police departments in Jackson, Milan, Trenton, Humboldt, Henderson, Lexington, Brownsville and Medina; sheriff departments in Gibson Co., Madison Co., Crockett Co., Haywood Co. and Henderson Co.; TBI, Tenn. Dept. of Corrections, the West Tennessee Violent Crime and Drug Task Force; the U.S. Marshals Service and U.S. Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agency.

Arrests18 arrests were made in

Gibson Co.; 6 people in Humboldt, 6 in Trenton, 1 person in Milan, and 5 people in the rural county.

Arrested were (Humboldt) Carlyle Perry - D.U.I.; Crystal Patrick - Possession of Sch. VI; Jarvis Hunt - Possession Sch. VI & Possession Drug Paraphernalia; Xavier Epperson – Reckless

PROACTIVE RESPONSE – Gibson Co. Sheriff Chuck Arnold talked to officers at the Humboldt airport before raids were conducted across the region Friday night. 18 arrests were made. Arnold said the operation was the largest of its kind he’d seen as a sheriff.

When you’re ready, please read I Kings 18:21.

Why did Elijah ask that question? We’ve talked about how the king had sent out hunters for Elijah. Why? No rain. After 3 years, the people and the king are getting more than a little concerned. Elijah tells Obadiah, a man who loves God, “Go tell the king that I’m here.” Obadiah says, “Please don’t ask me to do that. I’ve heard what’s been going on these last 3 1/2 years. Someone finds you and then when they bring the king back to meet you, you’ve disappeared. That poor soul is executed when the king thinks that he’s been mocked. I don’t want to die. When the king threatened the lives of God’s prophets, I hid them and fed them secretly. Elijah, don’t ask me to do that. I worship God as you worship Him.” Elijah assures Obadiah that he will be right there when he returns with the king. Obadiah brings the king back. I have no doubt that Obadiah, a man of faith, was handsomely rewarded.

Now the king says to

Elijah, “There you are. You’re the one that is causing all the trouble to my country. You’re the reason that wheat prices are skyrocketing. You’re the reason the drought. You’re the reason that people are hungry.” Elijah answers, “No. I’m the messenger. Your leadership is the reason. You and Jezebel have led the people towards wizards, witches, and sorcery. If any of these false prophets can help, then why don’t they? Let’s do a test. If their prayer gets fire from heaven, then they can worship their gods. But if my living God sends fire from heaven to the sacrifice then we’ll all worship the living God. When will you stop seesawing between two opinions? Tell your sorcerers, witches and wizards and the rest of your false prophets to bring two bulls up to Mount Carmel.” The king agreed to the challenge. One man, Elijah, met 850 false prophets as the whole country watched. They prepared their bull for their sacrifice and began begging their gods for fire from heaven. Now you know what happened. They begged. No fire. They cut themselves and pleaded more. No fire.

Finally, Elijah built a new altar and prepared the evening sacrifice. Elijah told them to dig a trench and fill it up, drenching the altar and the bull. Elijah prayed to the living God and God sent fire from heaven. The fire consumed the sacrifice and licked up the water.

Born exactly one year and one day apart, brothers Lloyd Davidson of Kenton and Ronald Davidson of Dresden celebrated their birthdays this week. The elder of the two, Lloyd celebrated with his family on October 30 while the Ronald, the younger marked another birthday on Halloween. Happy birthday, guys!!

Celebrating every day as his “new birthday,” Richard “Red” Barnes, a recent recipient a of a healthy donor kidney at the University of Alabama Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama. He and his wife Sheila, a Captain on the Kenton Police Department, are looking to return home by the week’s end barring any unforeseen complications.

With the much-awaited arrival of the Juvenile Deer Hunting Season on Saturday, came a multitude of excited young hunters with their hearts set on bringing home their trophy deer. Among those youngsters was Molly Lamar. Accompanied by her father, Luke Lamar, Molly spent much of Saturday and Sunday in the woods in a blind that she helped her father build, waiting for her trophy to step into her sights. She saw several deer of various sizes and ages and enjoyed watching them in their natural habitat but to her dismay, they never came near enough for her take one down.

Happy fall to everyone. The Lord provided us with another beautiful Sunday to worship Him. My toes rebelled against being put in shoes for the first time in about five months.

Our speaker Sunday morning and afternoon was Brother James Marcus from Pleasant Hill Church of Christ. His morning sermon was “Questions asked of Jesus” taken from Mark 12. Jesus always used scripture to answer these questions as we should always be ready to do as found in 1 Peter 3:15.

His Sunday afternoon sermon was “Christianity - A Way of Life” with three points: 1. Description of The Way (John 14:6) 2. How to walk in The Way (Rev. 2:10) 3. How to keep in The Way (2 Tim. 2:15). Our Bible class was a discussion of Matthew 24.

Our visitors were Dakota Betts, Callie Monroe, Brenda Roberts, Kim, Taylor, Lauren, and Matthew Kelly.

We missed Mrs. Jean Harris, who was feeling

under the weather. We hope she feels better soon. We were glad to have Ms. Rosa Berry back with us. She had been attending church at Greenfield because the road was closed, but decided to take the long way Sunday. We were so glad to have her back with us.

My nephew, Max Betts, is improving and may even get to come home early. Thanks to everyone who said a prayer for him. On our prayer list is Jean Belle, Max Betts, James White, and Barbara Wiley. As we go to the polls to vote on November 6, let us pray that the officials that are elected will steer the nation in the moral path that God has outlined in His word. If this happens, everything else will take care of itself. You are always cordially invited to attend our services: Sundays at 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., Wednesdays at 7 p.m. Thought for this week: A life without God, now that’s spooky!

Are you enjoying this cool spell in our weather? I’m from Michigan and this seems more like the kind of fall weather I grew up with. It just doesn’t seem right for it to be 80 degrees in October.

We had a good sized crowd at church Sunday. Many of our college students were home and its always good to see them in church. We also had some of our regulars still out with illness or surgery. Please continue to pray for healing for Reed Yarbrough, Jo Anne Reed and Mr. Glen Graves.

We will be discontinuing our old church website and will setting up a new one on Facebook. Please go to Christian Marks’ Facebook page and “like” North Union. This will take you to our page until will get all the bugs worked out.

Elmyra dropped by to speak to our children. It just happened to be her birthday and she passed out muffins to all. She reminded them that God has created each of them as a unique individual whom He loves dearly. She read from Ps. 139:13 and Jer. 1:5. We all need to remember that in God’s eyes we all have value and worth.

Bro. Don is getting stronger every day and was back in the pulpit on Sunday. His message

was taken from Job 1 and was entitled, “What to do when Satan attacks”. He reminded us that even though we have a powerful enemy, we have an even more powerful advocate in our corner.

Chasity Warren gave a word of testimony and thanked the Lord and her church for the support she has received over the past year. Miss Connie sang “Down on My Knees” for the music special.

Everyone was back at church Sunday evening for a time of worship and our Harvest Day fellowship. We enjoyed home made soups and sandwiches and desserts. Robert built a huge bonfire that helped warm up those who froze on the hayride. For those who were not willing to brave the cold weather there was a bingo game and prizes. Thanks to “Hurricane Sandy” and others we had a wonderful time.

Happy Birthday wishes to Phyllis Joyce and Elmyra this week. Also Chad Murray and Rene Rutherford announced their engagement. Congratulations.

Remember if you are looking for a place to come and praise the Lord and enjoy fellowship with God’s people, our doors are open to you. Hope to see you on Sunday.

New Blood Thinner MedicinesAnticoagulants, a drug group known as “blood

thinner,” help prevent the formation of blood clots. Blood clots can prevent blood flow and therefore limit oxygen supply to tissues and organs. Clots most commonly occur in the legs (deep vein thrombosis) or lungs (pulmonary embolism). Other serious medical conditions that can arise from lack of oxygen due to blood clotting include heart attacks and strokes. Some conditions may put a person at risk for developing blood clots such as obesity, genetic factors, smoking, and immobility. Irregular heart rhythms and surgery may also promote blood clots, and these individuals may be placed on special medications to reduce their risk.

Until recently, warfarin (Coumadin, Jantoven) was the only oral anticoagulant available. This blood thinner blocks vitamin K, which is necessary to make the substances that cause clotting. Warfarin requires frequent laboratory tests to make sure the blood doesn’t get too thin. Dabigatran (Pradaxa) and rivaroxaban (Xarelto) are a new type of oral blood thinners that block different factors for clotting, and help prevent clots and reduce the risk of stroke. Although frequent laboratory tests aren’t required, these drugs still have the potential to make blood too thin and cause other side effects.

Zimmerman - Flowers

sizes and ages and enjoyed watching them in their natural habitat but to her dismay they never came near enough for her to take one down. Even though she returned home without harvesting a deer, the time was well spentas she made wonderful memories with her father. Molly already has her eyes on next year’s season and another chance to fill her deer tag.

Sunday was a special day at Riverwoods Church in Dyersburg as the congregation honored Pastor Brandon Norton, formerly of Kenton for Pastor Appreciation Day. Pastor Brandon stood in humble silence as he was regaled with a poem that touted his loving devotion to God and to his congregation. Following further words of honor and appreciation and his being presented with a special gift, the congregation stood offering him a rousing and exuberant ovation. Brandon’s brother Brian and his wife and daughter, Vicky and Carleigh of Lexington were present for the special day, making it even more special.

Food for thought: There are certain “unknowns” all believers must face. They’re sometimes hard to face. But persevere and you will see God’s “sufficient” and wonderful GRACE.

Callins Jr., Richard Barnes, Annette Barron, Tony Lambert, Dewey Bradley, Charles Emrich, Eddie Carroll, Liam Sims, Jerry Williams, Paul Hughes, Ronnie Lamar, Jesse and Elaine Davidson, Carol and Bobby Primrose, Doris and Sam Weatherly, Elmer and Virginia Williams, and Racine Hodges.

Our Sunday school hour began with everyone standing and singing the hymn “Jesus Loves Me.”

Mike Fields gave our morning devotional from 1 Peter 3:8-12. The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

Christy Skelton opened the adult class in prayer before doing a good job teaching us our lesson “Living in Faith” from 1 Peter 4:12-19. Peter was a realist. He knew that until Christ’s return, believers were indeed likely to face ridicule for the name of Christ. Keith Hamlin led our closing prayer.Bro. Steve had ministered to those in the Dyer Nursing Home and told of the large crowd of residents that attended the services.Our morning worship hour began with Elaine Fields playing the piano and Mike Fields and the church choir leading us in the hymn,” All Hail the Power of Jesus Name.” Keith Hamlin led us in prayer. Rejoice in the Lord always. Bro. Steve welcomed everyone and made many announcements. We had a time giving praise to the Lord.

Smiles, hugs and handshakes were shared

with one another during our time of meet and greet. We welcome and thank the Lord for our visitors. The church choir blessed us with our special music, “As A Volunteer.”

Children’s church was dismissed to Jennifer Fields. Bro. Steve’s morning message “Mars’ Hill” was from Acts 17:16-34. Mike Fields dismissed services in prayer as the hymn, “I Surrender All,” was sung.Our discipleship-training hour began with everyone singing the hymn, “My Jesus, I Love Thee.” Stephen Fields led our opening prayer. Mike Fields did a good job teaching us our lesson “Filled To Over Flowing” from Matthew 5:6. Keith Hamlin led our closing prayer.Bro. Steve welcomed everyone and asked for prayer requests then prayed over these requests. We all enjoyed a time of Bible trivia where it was men verses women. Bro. Steve blessed us with our special music, “When Jesus is all that I Need.” Bro. Steve’s message “A Union” was from Romans 6:1-10. Scott Fields dismissed us in prayer as the hymn, “Wherever He Leads I’ll Go,” was sung.Read your Bibles, pray and invite someone to church this week.

Golden Agers by Alice Ernst

The Apostolic Faith Tabernacle by Amy Davidson ADVERTISE IN THE TCR, WE WORK

FOR YOU!!

Twenty-four was a good number again for the attendance of the Golden Agers meeting at Dyer FBC October 24. The members especially welcomed guest Virginia Stephens and Tyree and Katie White, who had been unable to come for many weeks. Bro. Jerry Legg reported about the wonderful retreat that nine of us enjoyed at Ridgecrest, North Carolina, and the side trips to Montreat, Billy Graham’s The Cove, and other features of the surrounding area. Sharing in fellowship in the autumn of God’s creation there, as well as, appreciating the music and inspirational messages and solitary prayer times made an actual retreat from the ordinary of one’s usual life. And Guy Penrod wowed us all with his songs and anecdotes about his family that included his wife, seven sons and one daughter.

We were reminded to keep in prayer those that have physical illness: Dot Oliver, Imagene Barron, Johnny Blackburn, Helen Comstock, Frances Abbott, Pete Summers, Bro. Eddie Holmes, Robert Campbell, and Donnie Holt. Two have recently passed away who are dear to area residents. Hazel Montgomery lost her son, Bro. Bobby Moore and Faye Harrell’s nephew, Jerry White just recently

passed from this life. Pastor of Dyer FBC DeWayne Goodgine led the prayer of supplication and comfort.

Beginning the music portion of the meeting, Kenny McEwen and Anne Thompson led the group in singing “Happy Birthday” to Tyree White on his 85th birthday. The music also included “Count Your Blessings” and “Blessed Assurance” and Kenny’s solo was “Just a Closer Walk with Thee.”

During devotional time, Bro. Michael Barnett reminded us all that our present location is just temporary and he described our permanent dwelling Heaven. Foremost it is a real place and it is where Jesus dwells. The setting of his scripture was Luke 22 in which there was argument among the disciples concerning the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. As we all know, being a servant is really the mark of greatness. Then Jesus admonished Peter not to dwell on his denial of Jesus that Jesus knew would soon come. Jesus asked Peter to strengthen the brethren instead. That is a lesson for us all when we fail also. Bro. Michael closed his devotional reading Revelation 22:1 and reminded us that the verdant location is watered with a stream flowing from the throne of God and the light that also provides nourishment for the plants and us is the Lamb of God Jesus. “Take the world and give me Jesus.”

I sincerely ask for your vote on November 6th.Political ad paid for by the candidate.

Over the past several weeks I’ve personally walked to each home in town in an effort to get to know as many of you as possible. If I missed you, I apologize and look forward to talking to you in the near future. The time I spent talking to each of you was a pleasure and an honor and I appreciate hearing your views on the present condition and future outlook of our town. I have also spent time talking to current board members and city employees in an effort to gain as much information as possible about the needs and issue of our town. I will always seek the facts, and then make my own decision that reflect the best interest of our town.

I have been asked if we are leaving town. The ‘For Sale’ sign in our yard simply means we want to move into town and downsize so we can take a more active role in our community. If elected I will be available to ensure that the business of our town is carried out in an effective, efficient and productive manner that benefits all citizens. I will work to create a thriving, healthy and attractive community in which to live and raise our families.

I would appreciate your vote and would consider it a privilege and an honor to serve as your mayor.

What can’t be changed must be endured. I read this in a book about the apostle Paul and it has stuck with me ever since. It’s just a nice little nugget of truth wrapped up nicely so that it’s easy to remember. I like it a lot. In speaking of affliction, the apostle Paul says in 2 Corinthians 4:17 that “. . .our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory .” I’m so thankful today for the seasons of affliction in my life because in them I know that God loves me and is working something into me that will bring Him much glory. Pastor Davidson preached out of Ecclesiastes today. Chapter ten verse one says : “Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour; so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honor.” The apothecary had the responsibility of bringing something pleasant out

of something bad. I like this description of the apothecary. It’s so simple. I’ve often heard of God being the great Physician but according to this description of the apothecary, I believe I’m going to have to start referring to God as the great Apothecary. He certainly takes our ashes and brings beauty from them. Even in the beginning, he took dirt and made man. He makes beautiful things out of dust all the time! The ointment of the Holy Ghost in our lives that keeps us each day is so precious. It is so precious in fact that Satan will put anything in our lives to taint it. In this scripture, Solomon refers to these things as dead flies. We get depressed. Dead fly. We get self-righteous. Dead fly. We allow things into our minds that are not pleasing to God through television, radio, and internet. Dead flies. We get too proud to worship God. Dead fly. Satan uses all sorts of tactics to poison our spirits and when we’re not on guard

and let these things into our lives, our spirits begin to stink. They not only stink to those around us, but our spirits also become a stink in the nostrils of God. What are the flies that threaten to make your spirit stink? I’ve got a few. Bet I’m not alone in that. Swat them

away with praise, prayer, worship, Bible reading and the precious blood covering. Lord help us all to keep You as Lord and Master over all parts of our lives. Come visit us at 27 New Bethlehem Rd. Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. and Sundays at 1:00 p.m.

Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. In order to be considered bullying, the behavior must be aggressive and include:

•An imbalance of power: Children who bully use their power—such as physical strength, access to embarrassing information, or popularity—to control or harm others. Power imbalances can change over time and in different situations, even if they involve the same people.

•Repetition: Bullying

DYER SCHOOL CELEBRATES NO BULLIES - To kick off the program, an Olweus Event was recently held at Dyer School for all students and parents. This school-wide celebration was student-led and included skits, music, media, and positive messages about keeping Dyer School a safe and bully-free school.

Dyer School celebrates Olweus programbehaviors happen more than once or have the potential to happen more than once.Bullying includes actions such as making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically or verbally, and excluding someone from a group on purpose.At Dyer School, our definition of bullying is “when someone repeatedly and on purpose says and does mean or hurtful things to another person who has a hard time defending himself or herself.”

The Olweus Bullying Prevention Program is a research-based program to improve peer relations, and to make schools safer,. Dyer

School began the Olweus Program in all grade levels during the 2011-12 school year, and is now in its second year of implementation.Goals of the program include:

•reducing existing bullying problems among students

•preventing the development of new bullying problems

•achieving better peer relations at school
