The 44th Annual Davy Crockett Days kicked-off Sunday, October 2 at the Davy Crockett Cabin/Museum. Alan Abbott, president of the Davy Crockett Commission, welcomed the crowd. Bro. Hobert Walker gave the invocation. Abbott introduced public officials in attendance and gave each an opportunity to speak.

State Representative Curtis Halford, Gibson County Sheriff Chuck Arnold and Judge Clayburn Peeples all briefly addressed the crowd.

Rutherford Mayor Keith Cardwell expressed his appreciation to the committee for planning the week of events that will bring the community together. He asked that everyone remember the soldiers from the area that are serving overseas and can’t attend the events this year.

Jayna Eddlemon was recognized as Grand Marshal for this year’s event. Her husband Eddie is also Grand Marshal but was not able to attend the opening ceremony.

Boy Scouts from Dyer’s Troop 243 raised the American flag and led in the Pledge of Allegiance. The National Anthem was played.

Young students from Rutherford Elementary School sang a medley of songs including ‘The Ballad of Davy Crockett,’ This Land Was Made For You and Me,’ ‘It’s a Small World’ and ‘Keep

Your Eye on the Grand Ole Flag.’Kelly Tucker and John Brelsford sang ‘God

Blass the USA.’ Cabin curator Joe Bone thanked Gibson EMC

for donating and planting four willow oaks trees at the cabin. Many of the mature trees at the cabin have died or are dying.

A balloon by the children release concluded the opening ceremony.

The Davy Crockett Cabin Museum will be open all week at no charge, but donations are always appreciated.

Monday night the 3rd Annual Davy Crockett Days Idol Talent Contest was held at the Rutherford School Gym. The winners in the youth vocal division were first place, Allie Smithson and Riley Jo Tate, second place, Ryleigh Greene, third place (tie) Sunni Green and Shelby Hatchel.

The Community Church-Wide Cookout

The City of Dyer Board of Mayor and Alderpersons met on Monday, September 26. The board discussed receiving a TML safety grant, and advertising for a fire chief and assistant fire chief.

Those present were Mayor Walton Thompson; alderpersons Judy Baker, Bitsy Gilliland, Nathan Reed, Amanda Callins, Robert Johnson, Roger Gray, and Marilyn Williamson. Alderman Chris Younger was absent. Attorney Jennifer Deen was present.

In the Finance Department report, City Recorder Jason Griggs advised the board that the city was awarded the TML Safety Grant that it had applied for. Griggs stated that the city received $1,000 in grant funds.

In the Fire Committee report, alderman Nathan Reed asked for a Fire Committee meeting to be held on October 3, at 6:30 p.m. to further discuss an acceptable use policy for the fire department building and to create a job description for the Fire Chief and Assistant Fire Chief positions to be advertised in the paper.

held a very successful rodeo in August. Plans are being made for an annual schedule to include a lot of riding and other activities for the community.

Although the Expo site is being built to help the community, there are still safety issues that must be addressed. Therefore the site will not be open at all times but there will be events and open ride times scheduled.

Beginning this month the site will host open ride times, providing the weather permits. Dates and times will be posted on the facebook site and website.

Lighting is still an issue the board is trying to resolve. Gibson EMC has given an estimate on getting lighting for the arena and tractor pull site. The board is seeking lighting fixtures, approximately 1500 watt and five poles to use.

Any equipment donated or secured will reduce the expense of lighting the site. Lighting was rented for the rodeo and proved to be a large expense.

Plumbing is still a concern. Although there have been some grant/loan combinations

The Tri-City Reporter, Wednesday, October 5, 2011

Insight & OpinionClayburn Peeples reports: What you see is not often what you get

Now that New Jersey governor, Chris Christie, is considering throwing his hat into the crowded republican presidential primary ring, the question of the day, among the nation’s chattering class, is this; “Is Chris Christie too fat to be president?”

Governor Christie, you see, is a large man. No, make that huge. So heavy, in fact, that in his recent governor’s race, one of his opponent’s ads was essentially just a slow motion video of Christie getting out of a car, with difficulty. The ad was too politically correct to refer to the governor as ‘fat,’ but a voice over slyly accused him of “throwing his weight around” as a US Attorney.

Christie won anyway, and is so wildly popular with

conservative republicans that liberal commentators are pulling out all the stops against him.

He “looks like he might have a heart attack at any minute,” wrote one. Another said he sets a bad example and that his weight suggests a lack of personal discipline. Before he endeavors to “get our national appetites, under control,” one said, “it would help if he got his own under control first.”

So there’s no question that if Christie does indeed run for president, his weight will be an issue, whether directly discussed or not.

But he wouldn’t be our first overweight president, not by a long shot. We’ve had several, and most historians evaluate them as having done a better job, on average, than presidents of

‘normal’ weight.Our heaviest president

was William Howard Taft, elected in 1908. At five feet, eleven inches tall, and weighing as much as 350 pounds, (depending on which source you believe) ‘Big Lub,’ as he was sometimes called, had all sorts of health problems, some at least presumably related to his weight. He suffered from gout, hypertension, constipation, gallstones and (surprise) heart problems.

In spite of his health problems, however, he lived through his presidency and even served nine years on the Supreme Court after leaving the office.

President Grover Cleveland also tended toward heftiness, having fought a weight problem all

his life. Some of his friends called him ‘Big Steve,’ but his nieces and nephews referred to him as ‘Uncle Jumbo.’ At 5’11” tall and weighing somewhere between 250 and 300 pounds, he was.

John Adams was only 5’11”, so the 200 pounds he carried made him look huge. His enemies referred to him as ‘His Rotundity.’

Theodore Roosevelt was only 5’8” tall, so when he ballooned up to 220 pounds he really looked huge.

Among modern presidents, Bill Clinton tops the scales. Although he has stayed slim and svelte since his heart attack, at one point during his presidency he weighed in at a hefty 236 pounds.

But none of these ‘overweight’ presidents died in office. Some of them lived to ripe old ages, and it turns out that many of our other ‘healthy looking’ presidents had far greater medical problems. Ronald Reagan was treated for both skin and colon cancer while in office. Some speculate that the Alzheimer’s disease from which he suffered the final years of his life

actually began during his second term.

Woodrow Wilson suffered from hypertension, headaches and double vision. Also, he was struck by a series of strokes throughout his adulthood, beginning in 1896. His third one, in 1906, left him blind in one eye. His final one, in 1919, during his second term, left him paralyzed on the left side and confined to a wheelchair.

Dwight Eisenhower, a four-pack-a-day cigarette smoker at one time in his life, suffered from Crohn’s disease, gallstones and heart attacks. After his first heart attack, in 1955, his cardiologist advised him not to seek a second term. Ike ignored him, of course.

John Kennedy, who seemed to be the picture of health while in office, was riddled with all sorts of health problems. As a child he nearly died of scarlet fever and contracted whooping cough, measles and chickenpox as well. As a teen, he was plagued with repeated upper respiratory infections, bronchitis, allergies, asthma, appendicitis, pneumonia

and jaundice.He is now known to

have suffered, as an adult, from Addison’s disease, a rare endocrine disease that causes fatigue, muscle weakness, nausea and bronzing of the skin.

So much for that healthy tan we thought he had.

Because of his many health problems, and their attendant pain, he regularly took, as president, a powerful drug cocktail consisting of several drugs, to include cortisone, phenobarbital and amphetamines. Had he lived, many medical experts have speculated that he would have had major health problems by the end of his second term.

So, against backdrops such as those, being overweight, by itself, doesn’t seem so significant. It’s other medical factors, such as diabetes, cholesterol, excessive prescription drug use and other health problems we can’t see on our television screens that would cause real concern if we knew about them.

Because in politics, what you see, or think you do, is often not what you get at all.

124 East Court Square, Trenton, TN 38382According to Gibson

County court records, former Rutherford mayor and church deacon at First Baptist Church of Rutherford, Kasey Harris, age 25, has been charged with statutory rape by an authority figure after he was accused of having sex with a teenage girl who attended his church.

An affidavit in the case alleges that Harris told a Rutherford police officer he had sex with the underage

girl while he was a deacon, and minister of music at the church in Rutherford. Those positions led to Harris being charged as an authority figure.

The Rutherford police officer had earlier interviewed the girl and her mother. The girl told police she had sex with Harris when she was 16 or 17 years old. The girl is now 18.

According to Rutherford Police Chief Mike Hensley, it is believed that Harris was

Morning worship services had an attendance of 102 with 84 in Sunday school.

Our message for the morning service came from the book of Matthew 7:28, 29. As Jesus ends the Sermon on the Mount the people were astonished at his teaching. Jesus showed God’s will with the authority and knowledge of all commandments and not just the laws but definition of the laws, unlike the teaching of the scribes.

Our message for the evening service came from the book of Ephesians 2:1-22; we were lost the way we were before Christ.

God’s great love of us moved him to give us salvation by the blood of Christ. Through Jesus, he has broken down the middle wall between the Jews and Gentiles that all may have salvation.

Remember the following in prayer: Jerry Martin, Mrs. Grady Tharpe, the family of Betty Bell, Judy Lannom, and all of our shut-ins and those in

nursing homes. Ladies, you are invited to

a bridal tea honoring Heather Clark, bride-elect of Danny Morris on Sunday, October 16th from 2:00 p.m. until 3:30p.m. in the fellowship hall. The couple is registered at Kohl’s, Wal-Mart, Target and Duncan’s.

There will be a countywide youth devotional on October 16th Sunday evening at the church. Ralph Gilmore will be our guest speaker with a meal after services. All youth are invited to attend and fellowship with us.

Mark your calendars young folks there will be a “Lock in” at the church on October 21st Friday evening until 6-7 a.m. Saturday morning. Bring your favorite eats and games and be prepared to have a great time. If you can chaperone, please contact Lynn Tharpe.

Our next 5th Sunday meeting will be October 30th with guest speaker Sam Jones. There will be an add-a-dish meal after services.

Wednesday evening we were visited by Ms. Tonya Pigg, a representative of Samaritan’s Purse, Operation Christmas Child. We saw a video on the results of some of the 84 million shoeboxes that have been distributed to all parts of our world. Let’s see how many we can pack this year at New Hope.

Sunday morning we were surprised and blessed by a worship and praise chorus sung by Brother Corey with young Ethan Meggs singing the echo, accompanied by Dustin Conley on guitar. The congregation then joined Ethan.

Brother Corey preached from Joshua 5:1-11, “Prepare for progress.” Joshua was preparing the children of Israel on how to apply the meaning of the law of physical circumcision to the spiritual circumcision of our hearts which we should do

each day. They observed the Passover paying tribute to God’s deliverance from Egyptian bondage.

We remember that by the Lord’s Supper.

Sunday night we observed the Lord’s Supper. Our message, “The scripture tells a story of a savior,” was from John 5:24 – 31 and other places in God’s book. Do you know the author? Look at where we are and where we could be without him.

Remember those on our prayer list, our friends in the nursing homes, and our men and women fighting for freedom.

Thought for the day – returning home from Sunday School, a little girl told how disappointed she was with the class reaction after the day’s lesson. “We were taught to go into all the world and make disciples of all nations, but we just sat there.” How true!

When you’re ready, please read Genesis 1:1.

“In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God.” John 1:1 The word created the original earth. God will not let us miss the fact that he was there in the beginning. Let’s look at the words of Jesus:

“Then he taught them many things by parables, and said to them inh teaching: “Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow. And it happened, as he sowed, that some seed fell by the wayside, and the birds of the air came and devoured it. Some fell on stony ground, where it did not have much earth: and immediately it sprang up because it had no depth of earth.

But when the sun was up, it was scorched, and because it had no root it withered away. And some seed fell among thorns: and the thorns grew up and choked it. And it yielded no crop. But other

seed fell on good ground and yielded a crop that sprang up, increased and produced some thirty fold, some sixty, and some a hundred. And he said to them, “He has ears to hear, let him hear!”

And he said to them, “Do you understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables?” (Mark 4:2-9,13)

Just as we must perceive the parable of Mark 4, in order to understand the other parables, we must also study Genesis to understand the word of God.

We must receive the Lord Jesus to be able to spiritually discern, rightly divide or correctly put together and apply or parallel the principles of the word to our personal lives. Then we will understand and perceive the written word or God through the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:13-16) by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us. (John 14:16-17, Romans 8:11)

What Causes a Sore Throat?A sore throat is usually caused by an infection with

bacteria or viruses. Strep throat caused by bacteria. Throat pain, fever, enlarged neck glands, and white patches in the throat are signs and symptoms of strep throat. A rapid test using a throat swab can be used at a doctor’s office to determine if the cause of symptoms is bacteria. Cough, runny nose, and itchy red eyes are common symptoms that are more likely to indicate that sore throat is caused by a virus. Influenza viruses, rhinoviruses, and coronaviruses are different types of viruses that can cause sore throat.

Frequently and through hand washing is an essential component of preventing the spread of infections. For strep throat, an antibiotic such as penicillin or amoxicillin (Moxatag) may be prescribed for treatment of the infection, and to prevent spread of the infection to other persons. However, if a virus is the cause of infection, an antibiotic would not be beneficial. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) or a nonsteriodal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) may be taken for relief of pain. Children should no be given aspirin due to risk of Reye syndrome. Cough drops may be used to alleviate dryness and pain, and may contain menthol for cooling or an anesthetic such as benzocaine for pain relief.

Our Sunday morning services began with Jennifer McDonald playing the piano and William McDonald leading us in our opening hymn, “I Love to Tell the Story.” Bro. John Fields led us in opening prayer. We all dismissed to our Sunday school classes.

Christy Skelton opened the adult class in prayer before doing a good job teaching us our lesson, “It’s All About New Life,” from Romans 6:1-23. We are to reveal we have new life in Christ. Keith Hamlin led us in the closing prayer.

Our Sunday morning worship hour began with Elaine Fields playing the piano and Mike Fields and the church choir leading us in the hymn, “Stepping in the Light. “ Rejoice in the Lord always. Bro. Steve welcomed everyone and made many announcements. We had a time of praise reports before getting into our time of meet and greet

with our church family and visitors.

Our young disciples of the church blessed us with our special music as they sang several praise songs. Children’s church was dismissed to Jennifer Fields. Bro. Steve’s message, “Wisdom,” was from Proverbs 1:1-7. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Keith Hamlin dismissed services in prayer as the hymn, “His Way with Thee,” was sung. Read your Bibles and be people of prayer this week.

Come join us for homecoming day Sunday, October 16 with a potluck meal to follow services. Afternoon preaching will be by Bro. Curtis Dennison and gospel singing by the McEwens. Frances Powell will be reading the historian report. Fall revival will be held October 16-19.

Another family of a former Kenton resident has suffered the loss of a dearloved one. Last week, Mrs. Anne Tatum passed from this world after suffering from an illness quite some time. Her family and friends are mourning their great loss and will be needing the prayers of all our TCR readers.

On the anniversary of a decision she deemed to be the single-most importantshe ever made, Cindy Lamar marked her 33rd year as a Christian last Wednesday. It was in Memphis at the Bellevue Baptist Church with theRev. David Wilkerson preaching the word of God, that Cindy yielded herself to Christas He offered her “life everlasting.” Forever changed from the inside out, she’s never regretted the decision she made that day. To commemorate the occasion, Amanda,Michael, and Pierce McAlister joined Ronnie and Cindy for a home cooked southern-style dinner.

The weather last weekend made for a most enjoyable time for everyone at the annualReelfoot Arts and Craft Festival. Whether buying or selling, Mother Nature was kind to

everyone as they got their “fix” of the unique handmade items. Proving true the old adageof “where there’s a will, there’s a way,” some attendees rose earlier than usual to check out the vast array of desirable goods offered, before rushing to work.

Food for Thought: I’m on my way to a place called “home.” A place where lovedones bid me “come.” A place where there will be no pain. A place where walking requiresno cane. My home is like none here on earth. It far exceeds their meager worth. Just when I’ll go, I for sure can’t say. But when I arrive t’will be a glorious day!

Prayer List: Tony Jordan, PeeWee Wyrick, Bobby and Carol Primrose, Jimmy Simmons,Easton Hopper, Jesse and Elaine Davidson, Sally Copeland, Paul Hughes, W.T. and Lill Wardlow, David Stephenson, Doris and Sam Weatherly, Virginia and Elmer Williams, JackieZaricor, Amanda Davis, Joe Smith, Judy Webb, Eurby Sanders, Freda Lamar, Gwen Rickard, Bonnie Graves, Paul Le Williams, Racine Hodges, Regina Miller, Cathy and Henry Herane,Vickie Robinson, Terry Sweat and Clint McLodge.

Golden Agers By Alice Ernest

In the Family Life Center of Dyer FBC, 15 Golden Agers met September 28 for their regularly scheduled meeting with many missing from the meeting because they were attending the Baptist Jubilee in Gatlinburg. Nurses Lori Horner and Royce Ann Reynolds from Care-All tested everyone’s blood pressure and reported the readings to each individual. Vice-president Jane Forsythe began the meeting with a poem dedicated to mothers, and Tyree White offered up thanks to God for the morning’s meal.

Dyer FBC Pastor DeWayne Goodgine led the group in prayer for those with special needs. These included successful surgery for Terry Barton and Emily Parks, improved health for Jacqueline Simmons, David Fisher, Rita Hicks, and Rick McCormick, and also traveling mercies for those in Gatlinburg and for Bro. Jerry Legg, who will return from Japan next weekend. Thankfulness was shared for Joyce McMakin’s successful surgery and for Dorothy Oliver’s improved health. Grief permeated the whole community in the passing away of Maxine Coffman, who remained an active member of the Golden Agers until her untimely stroke that incapacitated her mobility. Long will all of remember the decades of beautiful music that she and her twin Alladine Poynor gave to our appreciative ears. A few of you have in your possession spectacular quilts that they pieced and quilted for fundraisers for the music

club.The Kohler and Campbell

piano that now resides in the Dyer Nursing Home, that was given to the home by the Dyer Music Lovers’ Club, came in a large measure from those funds.

Shirley Shull and Alice Ernest were in charge of the music with Shirley leading the group in singing, “Love Lifted Me,” and “When the Morning Comes,” with Alice’s accompaniment at the piano.

Preceding the devotional by Dyer FBC Minister of Youth and Children, Bro. Michael Barnett, Bro. Michael reported that at 7:30 a.m. this morning at Dyer Jr. High School, 80 – 100 students came to the prayer rally “Meet Me at the Pole.” Students, we applaud your fervency.

In the devotional time, Bro. Michael chose to relate the events in the life of King Uzziah found in 11 Chronicles 26: 1 –21. At the age of 16 years, he became King of Judah when his father Amaziah died. He was an active builder of cities, farms, and many times led a conquering army against Judah’s enemies. “He did what was pleasing in the sight of the Lord,” v. 4 a, and he reigned 52 years. But with his success, he became proud and one day assumed the sacred duties of the priests by burning incense himself in the temple. God struck him down with a contagious skin disease that left him in isolation and his son ruled in his stead. God does expect humbleness from his people.

Institute in 1874, he taught school in Charlotte County and also served as county superintendent. He received his MD at Louisville Medical College, Kentucky in 1879 and practiced medicine in Randolph for about ten years.

On March 10, 1885, he married Sallie A. Middleton, daughter of Andrew Middleton and Emily Lipscomb Middleton, also of Charlotte County, VA. Sallie was also a descendent of Arthur Middleton of Charleston, South Carolina, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Dr. and Mrs. Paris had two daughters born in Virginia. They were Winnie Davis Paris, born Nov. 27, 1886, named for the daughter of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, and Annie Zora Paris, born September 22, 1889.

Dr. Paris’ sister, Bettie Gaulding, came to Trimble, TN to visit Gaulding relatives after the death of her husband, James Melvin Gaulding. She remained there to teach school. She wrote her brother that so many people in this area were suffering from malaria that she thought it would be a good place for a young doctor to settle. He came to visit, began his practice, and moved his wife and two small daughters to the Tyson Store Community in Gibson County in 1891. Soon, two more daughters were born into the Paris family. Lizzie Emma was born June 3, 1892, and Virginia Belle, named for his beloved state of Virginia, was born February 17, 1895.

In August 1899, Dr. and Mrs. Paris bought some land in the community. To accommodate his growing family and the patients appearing at his doorstep day and night, he built a beautiful two-story white house in 1902. The home served as living quarters for the family, waiting room, and doctor’s office.

As he went about the countryside answering the calls of the sick – first on horseback, then with horse and buggy, and later in a Model T often driven by his daughter, Virginia, he dispensed not only his own medicines but words of cheer and comfort that renewed hope and courage to many disease-stricken homes. His heart held nothing but kindness and good will. If he knew the family was not financially able to pay, he just didn’t “book it.” Although his fees were modest, he provided a good living for his family. He delivered more than one thousand babies and had over fifty namesakes that attested to the high esteem in which he was held.

He was always interested in religious and civic affairs. He was a member of the North Union Cumberland Presbyterian Church and faithfully attended services there. He also had an avid interest in politics. In appreciation of his untiring support, Governor Prentiss Cooper appointed him an honorary colonel on his governor’s staff in 1939. This was an honor that thrilled the “boy confederate soldier” who never forgot the Civil War days.

Dr. Paris retained almost perfect health until a short time before his death at his home January 31, 1940, just a few days before his eighty-ninth birthday. Senator K. D.

McKellar had this to say in a letter of condolence to his daughter, Ms. Lizzie Fisher. “He was one of the most honorable men in our state of Tennessee. I think I never knew a finer character. He was a true Southern gentleman. What more can be said?” His entire family, he, his wife, their daughters and their husbands are all buried in the beautiful North Union Cemetery near his home place.

Three of his daughters married Tilghmans… Winnie married Howard Tilghman and they had one daughter, Mabel. Annie married Robert Buron Tilghman and they had one son, Andrew Paris. Virginia married Duncan Tilghman. They had no children. Daughter Lizzie married Ira Andrew Fisher. They had six children…Julia Paris, Fred Rolfe, John Clark, Sarah Virginia, Robert Shirley, and Margaret Marie.

Anne Wylie Taylor, a great-granddaughter of Dr. Paris, currently owns the home place. Sarah Fisher Haney, a granddaughter of Dr. Paris, owns the farm. “Paris Manor” as Mrs. Paris called it, has been owned, operated and lived in by descendants of the Paris family for over one hundred years. It was this realization that caused Van

Wylie, great great grandson of Dr. Paris, to pursue this labor of love - having Paris Manor recognized as a Century Farm. Van is the great-grandson of Lizzie Paris Fisher, grandson of Julia Fisher Wylie, and son of Bobby Paris Wylie. Bob passed away in May 2007, and never got to see this honor bestowed on his beloved home place.

With diligence, patience, inquiring phone calls to family, record searches, and a deep love of this family name, Van accomplished his task. Paris Manor was named a Century Farm in the summer of 2009. Along with the recognition, the family received a Century Farm sign, which Van has placed at the home place, located five miles west of Rutherford.

This family farm, like many others in Tennessee, is the root of goodness, honor, hope, respect, and faith that future generations will keep the stories alive. How do you know where you’re going if you don’t know where you came from? For information on this Century Farm and others in the state of Tennessee, go to www.TnCenturyFarms.org.

The following members were present: Peggy Bell, Joyce Chester, Peggy Davis, Georgia Smith, Pat Eddlemon, Janice Gibson, Frances Samples, Patsy Scott, Regina Burch, Pat Ward, Ann Smith, Sandra Newman, Ruth Ethridge, and Debbie White.

Vice-president Debbie White called the meeting to order and thanked Pat Ward and Regina Burch for refreshments. Joyce Chester gave the devotional based on a “Guideposts” article about what prayer could do. After a prayer by Ann Smith, Janice Gibson led the group in singing “Faith of Our Fathers.”

Secretary Peggy Davis read the August minutes which were approved as read. Members answered the roll call by giving the name of their favorite recipe and several members shared copies of their recipes. Those who did not bring recipes were asked to bring copies at the October meeting.

Pat Ward gave the treasurer’s report. All current bills have been paid.

Debbie White reminded members that their reading lists were due at the December meeting. Each member needs to read three books to be qualified as a participant. Our club gets credit based on the percentage of members who participate. The Edison FCE club has challenged our club, so we will enjoy some friendly competition from them.

Patsy Scott requested that old glasses be donated to her so that her church can send them to Costa Rica and Sri Lanka. She reminded the group that glass can be taken to Target stores for recycling.

The nominating committee presented the following list of officers for next year: President – Sandra Newman, Vice-president – Debbie White, Secretary/reporter – Peggy Davis, Treasurer – Pat Ward, Inspirational Leader – Peggy Bell, Global – Pat Eddlemon, Special Community Projects – Ruth Ethridge and Debbie White, Membership/ Young Homemaker – Patsy Scott, Family Issues – Janice Gibson, and Environmental Issues - Jan Burks.

Debbie White made a motion that a phone chain be established to inform members of meetings, etc. with each person having to make only one phone call. The president will start it. Peggy Davis seconded the motion, and the motion passed. This will begin in January.

Ruth Ethridge reported information from the County Council. The newest project is the production of a cookbook to begin the first of 2012. Each club will contribute recipes. The Extension Office will make copies. Pat Eddlemon presented a cookbook published by her family as an example. Other projects include the need for a national club member to go to schools for Character Counts programs. The council will pay for that member who is usually the current president. A poster contest for fourth graders will be held, with the prize being $10.00. Also, boxes are being prepared with personal items such as soap, deodorant, stamps, etc. for those National Guard members from our county who are deployed overseas. The group was also asked to save plastic bags to make crocheted items.

Ruth Ethridge made a motion that a Wal-Mart gift card of $25.00 be purchased for Joyce Chester’s daughter, Marsha, who did the artwork for our fair booth. Pat Ward seconded the motion, and the motion passed. Our booth won first place and we have received a check for $50.00.

She also reported that our membership is growing, and we are now the largest FCE club in the county. She challenged the group to talk about our club and invite prospective members.

The county council Christmas dinner will be

catered. Sandra Newman reported

that plans are being made for the state conference in Memphis in November, 2012, held at the Hilton Hotel off I-240. The theme is “Kick Up Your Heels With FCE.” The gift shop will feature small handmade craft items such as scarves, tea towels, jewelry, and holiday decorations. Workers are needed for this event which will feature a fashion revue, tours, workshops, etc. Centerpiece decorations will feature high heels in silver and blue colors with ribbons, etc.

The evening’s door prize was a Tennessee Country coffee table book. Peggy Bell won the prize, and members could purchase copies for $10.00 with $5.00 going to the Ag in the Classroom program.

A quilt square is being prepared by the Gibson County Visual Arts Council for display at the Moore’s Chapel Community Center. Patsy Scott will try to find out the former school colors and these will be incorporated into the quilt square.

The next meeting is October 17 at 7 p.m. at the Moore’s Chapel Community Center with hostesses Debbie White and Ann Smith. After the club collect, the meeting was adjourned.

If you would like to join our club or need more information, please call Peggy Davis at 855-2519 or Teresa McConnell at 855-1587.

Hello friends. If you’ve been missing the Bethpage News, it’s because my computer died of old age. Here I am clicking away trying to get familiar with a new laptop, so if you find mistakes, just be patient and maybe I’ll get there.

We had a very busy week at Bethpage last week. We closed out an early fall Vacation Bible School with a family celebration Saturday night.

After the kids presented their program all enjoyed a hot dog and trimmings meal. Following that, they swooped down on the jumpers, games, sno-cones, popcorn and cotton candy in the activities building. They seemed to enjoy the Bible stories, crafts, games and snacks each night and we were delighted to have your kids be a part of that. Thanks to all who made this effort a success.

Sunday service began with Janice & Tina playing “Sweet, Sweet Spirit” for quiet time and call to worship was “Majesty”. Bro James text was from Joshua 7:1-12 and he was able to get several points in before our shortened

service came to a close. We had to compact our Sunday school and worship time as our seniors were honored with a dinner at Reelfoot Lake. They call us “Senior Saints” but I’m sure I don’t qualify for the Saint part of that so I just say seniors. A large number of church folks really enjoyed the delicious meal at Boyette’s.

Many attended the visitation and funeral for Mrs Gretchen Gibbons. Sympathy is extended to Janice and Van Wylie, Buddy and Betty Smithson, their children and extended family in the loss of this long lived matriarch of their family and community.

We are thanking God for the good rain received last night. I know the farmers need to get the crops harvested, but the earth needed a good soaking and some cooler temperatures. Scripture of the week: Phil 4:12 I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everwhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. God bless and have a great week.

We would like to thank all of you for your support during the loss of our loved one, Jeff Asbridge. For the hundreds who stood in line for hours to share your

AUTHOR TO HOLD BOOK SIGNING AT CABINIn 1835, David Crockett lost his seat in Congress to

Adam Huntsman. Huntsman had a wooden leg, prompting Crockett to say to his Tennessee constituents, “Since you have chosen to elect a man with a timber toe to succeed me, you may all go to hell and I will go to Texas.” The rest, as they say, is history. Kevin McCann, historian, author and publisher from Dickson, TN, will be in Rutherford on Saturday selling and signing his book entitled ‘Adam Huntsman: The Peg Leg Politician.’ Stop by the cabin and get yourself a book about this colorful character in Tennessee politics and welcome McCann to Rutherford.

memory of Jeff with us, his smile, his words, his humor and his love for others, we say thank you. We thank you for all the beautiful flowers, potted plants, gifts and cards you sent and for all your prayers. All the delicious food you brought and all the visits to our homes were greatly appreciated.

Thank you to Kenton First Baptist Church for allowing us to use the church for the visitation and service and for the meal you provided for our family and friends. To Robbie Eddings, Gail Perryman and Steven Tate, we thank you for the beautiful music you provided for the service. Bro. Brian, your words were a comfort to us and were much appreciated. Our thanks also to Leitherland Funeral Home for the great service they provided. He looked at peace.

May God bless each of you as he blessed us by giving us 47 years to love and enjoy Jeff.

Each Sunday we begin with an assembly of those attending Sunday School. We read Scripture and share both prayer concerns and praises. We then split up and attend our individual classes. We then have a wonderful time of fellowship around the Word of God (and sometimes even donuts and coffee). If you aren’t attending SS, you are missing a wonderful blessing! Why not come one hour early next week and check it out?

If you aren’t familiar with how we do things at a CP church, then let me fill you in on one aspect of our morning worship. Each Sunday two of our young people, this week Michael Moeller and Nathan Quast, bring in a flame with a candlelighter and light two candles at the altar. This flame represents the Holy Spirit within the church members as they enter the worship service. Then following the service the Acolytes retrieve the flame and carry it out. This represents the membership carrying the Holy Spirit out into the world. The symbolism is very significant and Scriptural.

Michelle Goad shared a true story with our children about an incident that happened with Ben Franklin when he was a child. He spent all his hard earned money to purchase a cheap whistle, thus accounting for the saying “paid too much for his whistle.” Michelle tied this in with Matt. 16:26.” For what will it

profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?”

Bro. Don’s morning message was about “investing.” We must invest if we ever expect a “return.” We need to be investing in the people that God has put in our paths. Just “love them until they ask you why” is what my dad used to say. Then Bro. Don continued his theme of investing in the evening message where he talked about being an “encourager” and used 1 Thessalonians. 3:1-8 as his text.

We have begun practicing for our upcoming Christmas program in December. Several young people and adults turned out for this first rehearsal. Some of our folks will be going to see the movie “Courageous” on Tuesday. Also our Griefshare group will be meeting. And on Wednesday we will be continuing our study of the Book of Luke with this week’s teacher, Elizabeth Marks.

Happy birthday this week to Robert Joyce and Happy anniversary to Gene and Margo Norman.

Hope you are enjoying Davy Crockett Days and looking forward to the fall break. This will be a good time to get out and enjoy the weather and stop by on Saturday and buy some BBQ from our youth. They will begin selling about 10 am. Hope to see you there, and to see you in church on Sunday!

Rutherford 1st Baptist By Katheryn Blankenship

What a difference a few days make with the weather. A few days ago, we were all talking about how hot it was; it has cooled off quite a bit.

This will be a busy week around town, with all the Davy Crockett activities. There will be something every night.

Wednesday night will be the meeting at the cabin. Starting at six o’clock for hot dogs and hamburgers, prayer meting and a Saul2Paul

concert. Brent Lambert will be the speaker.

We are all looking forward to next Sunday for our homecoming. We invite all who have been a member at First Baptist to come back and visit. Bro. Randy Crews will be the speaker of the day, with a meal to follow.

Several have signed up to go to the movie, “Courageous,” October 10th.

There was only one

birthday this week, Candace Johnson.

We have been having several visitors and we welcome all of you back.

Sunday morning, Bro. Jason’s message was, “God’s Plan for Families: Wives Part 2.”

Sunday evening we went through Revelation 16.

If you are looking for a home church, we invite you to visit with us.

Until next week – God bless.

The Grapevine By Sarah Skinner

What a beautiful weekend the Lord blessed us with. Saturday weather was wonderful for the band competition held at Gibson County High School. There were 26 bands in competition and it held into the night. Harriette Alford of Rutherford attended her first competition and did she enjoy it. Mary Warren, Cathy Bailey, Ronnie, Danita and Miracle Armstrong of Dyersburg, and I also enjoyed it, although the weather turned rather cold after the sun went down. I sort of got chilled but I wouldn’t have missed.

Mary, Cathy and I attended the visitation of the late Joe Wesley Booker, Sr. Friday night. A host of relatives, friends attended his funeral Saturday at Mt. Zion Worship Center. Mr. Booker was 92 years old. Our prayers are with his family.

We had a wonderful service at St. Paul Sunday morning. Pastor Pounds’ message, “Are you led by the Spirit or led by the flesh,” was found in Romans 7:22-25, 8:1-4. The mass choir provided the music.

D. J. Walker and Cordell Fisk were baptized between Sunday school and morning service. Pastor Pounds and Minister Timothy were the baptizers.

Minister White’s son, Zackery White, has been shipped to Saudia Arabia

for the next several months. Please remember him and all the military personnel in your prayers.

John Mitchell is a patient at Madison County Hospital in Jackson. Please remember him in prayer also; he underwent surgery on his knee Thursday. Rev. and Mrs. Pounds, his wife, Rosie and his family were with him.

Rev. John Brooks, Lucy Reed and John Brooks, Jr. visited Eric Brooks and family in Virginia several days recently.

Those having birthdays this week are Yolonda Banks and

DeAries Dennis. We wish them both happy birthday.

Sunday, October 9, St. Paul’s pastor and members will be observing Rev. Michelle Skinner’s appreciation day. Minister Timothy White will be the speaker at 3:00 p.m. and Beech Grove’s Gospel Choir of Rutherford will provide the music. Everyone is invited to share this wonderful day with her.

Mary Warren dined with her daughter, Danita and Ronnie and Miracle Armstrong in Dyersburg after church service Sunday. God bless and have a good week.

STORYTIME - The theme of the recent Bookworm story time was mice. The children enjoyed the reading of the book ‘Mabela the Clever’ written by Margaret Read MacDonald. For the craft, the children made a mouse finger puppet complete with googly eyes. After a healthy snack of apples and bananas, the children ended the story time with the ‘Hokey Pokey’ The Bookworm Story Time is Wednesdays at 10 a.m. in the Children’s Room at the Gibson County Memorial Library located at 303 South High St., Trenton. Story Time is open for children lap-sit to preschool of all abilities accompanied by an adult. Among the children were Jaiden Smith, Mason Hill, and Abby Claire Crider, (Back)-Isaiah Smith, Sarah Simmons, and Christianna Smith

BY LORI CATHEYThe Gibson County

Pioneers lost on the road to Covington in a district contest 54 to 12.

To start the first quarter, the Pioneers defense forced a fumble on the first play of the quarter with Pioneer Trey Wiese recovering the football at the 40-yard line. Gibson County was unable to move the ball and had to punt. With 8:29 remaining in the first quarter Covington moved the ball down the field and scored a touch down. The touchdown was the only score of the quarter giving Covington a 7-0 lead.

The Chargers broke away during the second quarter scoring 20 points. Covington took a 27-0 lead into the locker room at halftime.

The Pioneers, on their first possessions of the third quarter, started on the 28-yard line. The Pioneers started the drive

with two nice run plays by Javon Sowell and Danny Evans. On the next play GC quarterback Zac Walton dropped back to pass and found wide receiver Clayton Yarbro down field for a 51 yard gain. On third down and 7 yards to go Yarbro caught a 9-yard pass from quarterback Walton for a touchdown. The extra point was no good. Covington added three more touchdowns to take a 48-6 lead going into the fourth.

In the fourth quarter Gibson County took over at the 35-yard line. Seven plays later, running back Danny Evans capped the Pioneers’ final scoring drive with a 14-yard run for a touchdown at the 5:22 mark. The Chargers added one more touchdown and the final score was 54-12 Covington.

“We have played t h r e e t o p - t e n f o o t b a l l programs this season and Covington is one of the

top tier programs in the state and our district. The Charger offense was more than we could handle and they scored at will against our defense,” said Gibson County head coach Lee Atkins.

Gibson County had 10 first downs and 60 passing yards. Quarterback Zac Walton completed 2 of 3 passes and one touchdown. GC senior Clayton Yarbro is the player of the week with two catches for 60 yards, a touchdown, a sack and he had 4 tackles.

Leading Gibson County were: Danny Evans with 21 carries for 89 yards, a touchdown and 3 tackles; Trey Wiese had 6 tackles; Dustin Murdock added 5 tackles; Cameron Johnson and Drew Scobey each had 4 tackles.

Come out and support your GC Pioneers in their homecoming game against South Gibson County this Thursday night at 7 p.m.

it has today were it not for the service of its more than 33,700 volunteers, who have given generously of their time, talents, energies and resources to the youth of Tennessee; and

Whereas, throughout its proud history, the 4-H program has developed positive role models for countless Tennesseans and through its innovative and inspiring programs, continues to build character and to instill the values that have made our state strong and great.

Witherspoon said, “4-H

helps youth and adults learn, grow and work together to live the 4-H motto: to make the best better.”

Other points of pride mentioned in the proclamation are the number of youth participants, and adult volunteers involved in the Gibson County 4-H program made available to county youth through the University of Tennessee Extension.

Witherspoon, urges fellow citizens to observe this week by connecting with youth in order to engage in projects benefiting our county. The mayor informed the youth

that he was a 4-H member at Rutherford Middle School many years ago and that he won in a ribbon in the 4-H Bread Baking Contest.

“Mayor Witherspoon’s proclamation is a great honor to the Gibson County 4-H program,” said Mrs. Crystal Langston, 4-H volunteer leader from Dyer.

UT Extension provides equal opportunities in programs and employment. For more information concerning 4-H, contact Deborah Seward, 4-H Youth Development Agent, at the Gibson County Extension office at 855-7656.

WTN Expo Center plansthrough Rural Development, the time frame is approaching quickly to get the grant funds spent. The Friends of Gibson County Board has signed off on the plans and are awaiting the work to begin. Other grant funds are being sought through the county level to try and complete the project. The rodeo in August required farmers to pump water into their tanks and transport it to the site in order to have water for the arena and the livestock.

Friends of Gibson County is working with the Expo Project to get the site prepared and scheduling annual events. Plans are being made to provide a tractor pull in conjunction with the Dyer Station Celebration in 2012. Nothing has been finalized, however, the Expo Center would like to contribute some type of event to the celebration. Other events are being scheduled for the Spring 2012. This year will wrap up with a barrel race on October 15th. Training barrels will begin at 10 a.m. and the show at 12 p.m. Concessions will

be available. Kiddie, 10 and under and youth 3d, and 18 and under will be riding. There will be $500 in added money to the open 4d barrels. We encourage everyone to come out and support the event. There will be no gate fee so it’s free to all spectators.

We want to thank the community again for its support and dedication to this project. We have had a lot of interest since the rodeo and plan to continue with the overall project of providing an outdoor and indoor arena/community area and tractor pull site. For those of you with resources or knowledge of resources we are looking for the following items: lights, poles for lights, bleachers, food donations for concessions, and chutes. If you can help us, please

contact us by calling any board member or committee member.

During the visitors session of the meeting, April Smith, who lives at 207 Central Street, told the board that she had a water leak a couple of months ago, filled out the paperwork for a sewer refund, and received a sewer refund. Since then, the water main to her house broke and she had another major leak. Smith paid her bill, which was over $500. She asked the board if they would adjust her bill.

A motion was made by Reed and seconded by alderman Robert Johnson to adjust Smith’s August water bill to the three month average of her March through May water bills. The board approved the adjustment.

Kim Nolan, who lives at

108 Peck Switch, asked the board if they would consider putting a stop sign at the entrance of Peck Switch Cove. A motion was made by Johnson and seconded by alderperson Judy Baker to put a stop sign at the Peck Switch Cove entrance. The board approved the measure.

4-H YOUTH DEVELOPMENTFor more than 104

years, the 4-H Program in Tennessee has been engaging youth in activities that help develop skills for a lifetime. These skills range from communication to community service and from goal setting to leadership. Regardless of the skill learned, the benefits gathered from a young person participating in the 4-H Program are priceless.

The 4-H Program is nationwide youth development program that has more than 6.5 million youth involved in it annually. Administered in Tennessee by the University of Tennessee Extension Service, 4-H serves youth in 94 of the state’s 95 counties through County Extension Offices. 4-H is managed jointly by both a professional and volunteer staff. Tennessee has more than 300,000 youth members and more

than 23,700 volunteers working together to deliver the more than 26 projects, opportunities, and events offered annually through the program.

4-H is unique in that it offers experiences to the most urban young person and youth in rural areas by providing the opportunity to participate in school 4-H clubs, learning experiences in school classrooms, day and overnight camps, and other special interest opportunities.

4-H members can participate in a variety of projects in the areas of food & nutrition, line and design, companion animals, financial management, photographer, communications, livestock, and wildlife. Beyond the excitement of learning something new through a project, youth have the opportunity to participate in leadership conferences, 4-H camps, become involved in their community through service, and meet

new friends in a safe and comfortable setting. A young person’s experiences in 4-H makes a difference for a lifetime by allowing them to grow and appreciate the importance of being a good citizen, a strong leader, and a person of character.

If you would like to learn more about 4-H in Gibson County, or have a family member wanting to join 4-H, contact the Gibson County 4-H Office at 855-7656 or E-Mail Deborah Seward at [email protected].
