ADULT LEADERS — Each year a group of adults gather on a monthly basis to learn about Obion County and how to make it a better place to live. Members of the Leadership Obion County Class of 2012-13 gathered for their graduation banquet Tuesday night to look back on their time together. Among those accepting their plaques during the evening’s ceremony and the individual or business sponsoring them were (seated, from left) Wanda Fuzzell, by Northwest Tennessee Development District; Charlene Burpo, by Sullivan Dentistry; Lisa Davis, by Reelfoot Bank; Ronda Richie, by Union City Coca-Cola; Lesa Scillion, by Obion County Schools; Jenny Virgin,

Other members of the class unavail-able for the photo were Rob Adcock, sponsored by Polk Glover; Justin Stokes, sponsored by First State Bank; and Christy Stubblefield, sponsored by Cane Creek Rehab Hospital.

The Martin Historic Business District will host its first Family Night Out of 2013 from 6-9 p.m. Saturday in Martin’s Festival Park downtown.

The highlight of the eve-ning promises to be the con-cert by Stormgate, a well-known local band.

“Stormgate opened the very first Family Night Out for us,” said Family Fun Nights events coordina-tor Lynn Harper. “They are Southern rock with a hint of Blues.”

She said this will be the first year that people can take advantage of the splash pad in Festival Park.

“We would encourage people to come out,” she said. “People can come out and enjoy the concert and let their kids play in the splash pad.”

MHBD events chairperson Lynette Wagster said the City of Martin has partnered with MHBD.

“We are thrilled the City of Martin has partnered with us to bring a well-known and popular band to our first event of the season.”

Oogie & Oodles Piddle-pops (balloons and face painting); Nikki Lee’s Concessions (featuring fresh lemonade, corn dogs and funnel cakes); Cajun Sno-Balls (snow cones); Magical Mink’s Entertainment with inflatables; the Tennessee National Guard’s rock climb-ing wall; and Aaron’s game truck also will participate in Family Night Out.

“While you are enjoying Stormagate and the carnival-like attractions, you might see an over-abundance of people with their pinkies painted blue, do not freak out,” a spokesman said. “It is not a secret Mayan sig-nal signifying the end of the world, it is simply an out-ward sign that the person is against bullying.”

Tennessee will celebrate national Pinky Promise Against Bullying Saturday. Westview High School stu-

dent and Miss Scenic City’s Outstanding Teen Carlie Vowell will present Gov. Bill Haslam’s proclamation for national Pinky Promise Against Bullying Day.

“One of the biggest rea-sons we wanted to partici-pate in this first Family Night Out is because May 18 is Tennessee’s official day for the Pinky Promise Against Bullying,” she said. “The whole idea is to help educate and raise awareness for not only students, but teachers and adults, against bully-ing.”

Miss Vowell said the group has a three-step action plan to prevent and help stop bully-ing: Be a friend; tell a trusted adult; tell a bystander.

“By making the pinky promise, you promise to stand up and make a dif-ference against bullying,” she said. “Bullying happens everywhere, in our schools and even in nursing homes. It is prevalent in our society.”

Family Nights Out this year are set for the third Saturdays in May and June, while Aug. 24 is set for Movie Night.

JACKSON (AP) — The Madison County Sheriff’s Office says a man dressed as a clown tried to break into a mobile home.

The Jackson Sun report-ed the attempt before dawn Tuesday was unsuccessful.

Sheriff David Woolfork said that beyond the clown getup, there was no detailed description of the attempted intruder or the car he was seen driving away in.

The incident occurred on U.S. 412 at 4:30 a.m. Tuesday.

———NASHVILLE (AP) —

Tennessee health officials are urging people to take a five-minute online assess-ment about whether they are at risk for hepatitis C.

Tennessee Department of Health Commissioner John Dreyzehner said baby boomers are five time more likely than the general pop-ulation to have the disease.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has the assess-ment online at http://www.cdc.gov/HEPATITIS/ris-kassessment .

Dreyzehner said it’s important to know if one has any form of hepatitis. The A and B forms can

be prevented with vaccines, and hepatitis C can be cured if treated early.

The risk assessment gives people guidance about whether they should see a medical provider for testing.

———PULASKI (AP) — A

Pulaski man was added to Tennessee’s Top Ten Most Wanted list after police say he removed an ankle moni-tor, shot a man to death and fled.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation reports 24-year-old Jerrell Martinez Sizemore is considered to be armed and dangerous.

He may still be in pos-session of the handgun used to shoot Brandon Stinnett on Monday. Sizemore had been wearing an ankle monitor as a bond condi-tion for a domestic assault charge he faced earlier this month.

Sizemore is a convicted felon with a criminal his-tory dating back to 2008 that includes assault, drug charges and robbery.

Anyone with information on Sizemore’s whereabouts is urged to call the TBI at (800) TBI-FIND (824-3463).

There is a $1,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.
