commissioners grumbled about changing the boundaries of their voting districts but on Nov. 14 voted 19-3 to approve a redistricting map.

The county will maintain its current setup of 19 districts and 25 commissioners, but district boundaries will change to provide equal populations.

Commissioners voted for Option 2 – All members of the county legislative body shall be elected from designated seats in each district, namely seat A and B. Candidates shall qualify for only one such seat.

The commission’s three African-American members, Lenford Carr and Nelson McLin of Humboldt and Mark Flake of Milan, voted against the plan.

“This will change the representation of minorities,” said Lenford Carr. “You will have the same amount of people in districts, but you’re moving me way out of my district. I’m familiar with the territory in District 2.”

State law declares that the drawing of voting districts “cannot dilute minority strength,” said Carr. The county cannot use reapportionment to racially gerrymander.

Com. Leon Smith of Milan voted for the map but said he didn’t like it. Current commission districts match Milan’s city wards. But the new districts will not. BY STEVE SHORT

A new “digital factory” could bring hundreds of jobs to Gibson Co. residents, leaders said during a “groundbreaking” for the new firm Nov. 8 at the former Regions Bank building in Trenton.

Vision Gibson is a sister operation to Vision Perry, a non-profit organization in Linden whose goal is attracting high tech, computer-internet based jobs, while trying to attract industries with manufacturing jobs.

“While this approach may not hold all the answers to our problems, I feel very strongly that this will be a very good fit for a large number of our 3,000-plus unemployed in our county and a bold step in the right direction,” Mayor Tom

school board took the next step in its latest building project at the November 10th meeting.

The board voted to split the 16-classroom addition at Medina Middle School into two wings with eight classrooms each. They will also accept bids for an auxiliary gym with options with and without lockers.

David Brown, architect with the firm Kaatz, Binkley, Jones & Morris, presented drawings of the additions that included the auxiliary gym. Both classroom wings will include 20,600 sq. ft.

Splitting the addition into two separate wings will help separate the school into grades 3-5 and 6-8.

Eddie Pruett, GCSD Director of Schools, said it’s been difficult to try to balance the growth in Medina to make sure the district doesn’t under-build or over-build. He thinks adding the classrooms at MMS will help level off student enrollment increases at both MMS and Medina Elementary School.

Once the addition is complete, MES will house Pre-K through second grade, and MMS will still have room to grow even after adding third grade.

“Hopefully this will keep us from having to put up any portables,” Pruett said.

High Cost Funding- Terry Cunningham, the system’s Financial Director, had good news for board members. GCSD has received nearly $87,000 in High Cost

Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce D e v e l o p m e n t Commissioner Karla Davis is announcing a $3,448,259 National Emergency Grant to serve about 850 of the 1,983 total workers affected by the closure of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company located in Union City, Tennessee. The grant will be used toward skills training and reemployment services for displaced workers.

Goodyear workers were approved in April for assistance under the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program

BY MICHAEL ENOCHSThis past Veterans Day was highlighted by

celebratory programs observed at Gibson County High School at 9 a.m., Yorkville School at 10 a.m., Dyer School at 11 a.m. and Rutherford School at 1:30 p.m. Each celebration drew large crowds of students and citizens from the area, including most of our area veterans ranging from World War II, to the present day wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Each ceremony was a moving sight to behold as our grand, old warriors stood ramrod straight, (some with walkers, and some with canes) alongside the newest generation of the American warriors saluting the American flag.

At GCHS David Brewer gave the welcome speech followed by students Danielle Rickman and Tara French. Lawson Mann gave the student council welcome and pledge. Lexi Whitley,

Sandy Whitley, Linda Carmoney and Leann Kelly sang the National Anthem. Tara French read a poem, which was followed by guest speaker veteran Chad Jackson. After Jackson’s speech Lexi Whitley, Ella Hayes and Logan Rahm announced the veterans, alumni and staff attending. The veterans were invited to make comments. Following the retiring of the colors, Adam Wyatt played ‘Taps.’

At Yorkville School principal Sharon Lee gave the welcome speech followed by the Pledge of Allegiance led by Henry Todd. Lisa Roberts sang the ‘Star Spangled Banner’ and Jordan Hurst led the assemblage in prayer. Harry Jetton played an Armed Services Medley. Air Force veteran Gary Paschall gave a speech in recognition of veterans. Lisa Roberts followed by singing ‘God Bless America.’

Witherspoon said. “We will be providing fast track training for fulltime internet-based jobs that are available through partnerships with private companies.”

Vision Gibson establishes relationships with companies that provide services in areas such as health information technology, customer service, technical support, and computer programming.

“I look forward to getting people in here, getting them trained and getting them to work; that’s what it’s all about.” said Witherspoon. “This is training people for jobs that are out there. This is in sourcing jobs that have gone overseas.”

Vision Gibson Director Michael Dumont said the

DIGITAL FACTORY OPENS – Leaders from Gibson Co. and a new firm, Vision Gibson, attended a ‘ground breaking’ for a digital factory operation at the former Regions Bank building in Trenton November 8. Vision Gibson is a sister operation to Vision Perry, a non-profit organization in Linden whose goal is attracting high tech, computer-internet based jobs, while trying to attract industries with manufacturing jobs.

Funding, which helps offset costs required for services for blind students, long-term homebound students and training for faculty working with those students. The board amended the budget to reflect the new money.

MEDINA MIDDLE SCHOOL ADDITIONS - Gibson County board members Treva Maitland and Dana Welch looked over drawings of the proposed MMS additions, which will create 16 new classrooms to make a wing for grades 3-5 and for grades 6-8. The architect is David Brown of the firm Kaatz, Binkley, Jones & Morris. Lashlee-Rich is the Construction Manager.

Titan Tire Corporation of Union City, a subsidiary of Titan International, Inc. (NYSE: TWI), has purchased the physical assets of Goodyear’s Union City closed tire plant. Titan notified Goodyear of its interest in certain equipment after discovering that Goodyear was selling the assets. Following are the general terms of the agreement:

•Titan purchased approximately 480 acres of land.

•Titan purchased the building consisting of approximately 2.1 million square feet.

•Titan agrees it will not produce radial passenger or SUV tires at the factory.

•Titan agrees to scrap all curing presses and tire building equipment that Goodyear requests to be scrapped. Titan will retain the scrap value.

•Goodyear will have until June 2012 to remove the equipment they wish to retain. Goodyear employees and its contractors will have

Area schools hold Veterans

We may be in a slumping economy, and clearly we are, but there is one commodity Tennesseans can’t seem to buy enough of — lottery tickets. That’s right, lottery tickets. Diaper sales are down, I read the other day, but lottery ticket sales are up. Our household finances may have become a nightmare on Elm Street, but increasing numbers of us are trading a dollar for the dream of hitting the big one.

The Tennessee Education Lottery Corporation, which operates Tennessee’s various lottery games, recently announced that during last fiscal year the Corporation hit the jackpot, raking in more than 1.13 billion dollars in ticket sales, an all time record. The Corporation’s news release did not say, and cannot, whether the increased

sales were the result of dreams or desperation, but either way, the state’s higher education industry was encouraged by the news, because 283.8 million of that 1.13 billion will go to funding education in the state, from preschoolers to HOPE Scholarships, which some 100,000 in state college students are currently using to defray their staggering college bills.

It is somewhat ironic that lottery profits go primarily to college students and their families. Ironic, because nationwide, and presumably in Tennessee as well, the heaviest lottery players are twice as likely as the general population to not even have a high school diploma. That same group has a median family income well below $20,000, while nearly half

of all HOPE Scholarship winner families have average family incomes of more than $70,000.

One reason, in addition to the recession (If the recession is indeed a cause. Lottery officials say it is not.) that Tennessee’s lottery is so successful is that it is run extremely well. Even though we’ve only had lottery gambling in the state since 2004, the Corporation has racked up 7.8 billion in gross revenues since then, and it has transferred more than $2 billion into Tennessee education funds.

It has done so by aggressively advertising and marketing an ever changing, ever expanding array of ‘games’ and prizes. Especially successful, particularly in the poorer sections of our towns, are the ‘instant’ or ‘scratch

off’ games. At any given time, between 38 and 42 of them can be played at your local convenience store, and if you can stand to wait for your prizes, the Corporation operates five of the traditional drawing games as well.

All of which has led to a growth rate for the Tennessee Lottery that is 63 percent higher than the national average. Pretty good, huh?

Yes, but get this. It’s not good enough. The legislature, which gives lottery officials their marching orders, held a hearing recently on ways to wring even more money from the operation. The reason? (I bet you can guess this.) The state, in spite of record lottery revenues, is 22 million dollars short of the money needed to fund all the HOPE Scholarships it has authorized colleges to grant. Because of that, some legislators are calling for lottery officials to increase lottery sales by at least eight percent to offset the shortfall.

How did this happen? Well, it happened because, starting in 2008, the legislature expanded the categories

of students eligible for the scholarships (making it easier to qualify for them) and as a result, we are either going to make the scholarships more restrictive, cut the amount of the awards or come up with 22 million in additional lottery profits.

One ‘solution’ being batted around is to allow ‘players’to purchase lottery tickets with credit and debit cards. (Currently tickets can be purchased for cash only.) Others have suggested that the Corporation reduce the size of cash payouts. But each of these ideas has both adherents and opponents. Many people, even lottery backers, think there is a moral issue when you encourage and entice people to gamble even more, but still others cynically suggest that we’ve already settled the moral question, that all we’re haggling about now is price.

Lottery officials say that reducing prize money is the last thing we should do, that such a move would surely depress ticket sales.

So it looks like we may have come to the end of the profit line, right? No, not at

all; we’re doing this for the kids, you know. Let’s think of some way to expand the market and get more money for them. Say, how about persuading the big box stores like Walmart and Target to sell tickets. Wow! What a good idea. The perfect demographic. What a boost in sales that would provide. The ‘gaming’ industry believes that’s the next growth area. Surely somebody can come up with the right incentives (or pressure) to persuade them to come on board.

And why not allow people to purchase lottery tickets on their smart phones? Or ‘play’ the games online on the Internet? Why make them drive down the street in the rain just to buy a Powerball ticket?

And there are also proposals, yes, right here in Tennessee, to allow slot-style video gambling machines in bars and convenience stores. Some states have them, and they are hugely profitable.

I mean, it’s for education, right? The kids are counting on us.

And they’re watching everything we do.

The guest speaker at Yorkville was Lt. Thomas Buck, the most decorated Vietnam veteran in history. He served as an Airborne Ranger in the Army. His medals awarded in Vietnam include the Distinguished Service Cross and Medal of Valor, the Distinguished Service Medal, the Silver Star, the Soldier’s Medal, five Bronze Stars, five Purple Hearts, two Air Medals, five Army Commendation Metals, the Gallantry Cross and the Combat Infantry Badge. Buck has been nominated and accepted to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor for action that took place on May 24, 1969. He is presently waiting for the presentation.

After Buck’s speech and prayer, there was a moment of silence followed by ‘Taps’ played by Lacy Littleton.

At Dyer School the posting of the colors was performed by members of

Boy Scout Troop #243. They included Josh London, Joshua Richardson, Matthew White, Garrett Doss and Kaleb Sims. The Pledge of Allegiance and band introduction was done by Kierra Coleman. The band director is Calyn Evans. Opening remarks were given by Principal Brad Garner. Brent Jones spoke about Veterans Day being a “date of significance” and Erin Lannom gave president’s remarks. Tammy Ladd presided over the recognition of the veterans attending.

The eighth grade class sang ‘God Bless the USA’ while Alexis Williams performed the solo. The ceremonies were closed with a moment of silence and the playing of ‘Taps.’

The ceremonies at Rutherford School started out with a parade through town of the school students, the school band, and the area veterans who marched or rode in the parade. The parade ended back at the

school where Principal Jody Hinson gave the welcome speech to the assemblage. The presentation and pledge to the American flag was performed by the Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts of Pack #41.

The seventh and eighth grade Rutherford Jr. High Marching Band under the direction of Eric Waldon performed the ‘Star Spangled Banner.’ Jr. High reading teacher Lisa Ball read the poem ‘The Best on Earth,’ followed by ‘A History of Veterans Day’ by Ben Lownsdale, Jr. High Social Studies teacher.

A video of Nickleback playing ‘If Everyone Cared’ was shown as a military tribute. Kim Newton and Tracy Abbott gave a roll call of recognition of special guests including the veterans, students, faculty, staff and representatives.

Veteran Dixie Davidson called for silence and prayers after which Paige Reasons played ‘Taps’ at the close of the ceremonies.

access to the facility to remove retained equipment.

• Titan has immediate access to the factory to allow inspection of the condition of all banbury equipment and steel and fabric calendar lines. Titan will evaluate what needs to be done with the equipment.

“Titan has not yet decided how it plans to utilize

the Tennessee location except to warehouse farm and OTR tires and to have a single equipment rebuilding operation for the machines. The decision on whether Titan will keep the equipment in Union City or move the equipment to other Titan tire factory locations will not be made until mid 2012. The mixing capacity with the equipment

Titan purchased could allow an additional $1 billion in future sales and increase Titan’s output of farm and OTR tires going forward when, as stated, a decision is made. This transaction happened fast so we have a lot of work to do to see what gives Titan the largest savings,” stated Maurice Taylor, Chairman and CEO of Titan International.

“Titan paid Goodyear approximately $9 million for this acquisition, but we do not know yet how much we will get back from all the scrap machinery. I appreciate there have been a lot of comments on this acquisition but until we have decided exactly what we plan to do this is really all we can say.”

Titan International, Inc., a holding company, owns subsidiaries that supply wheels, tires and assemblies for off-highway equipment used in agricultural, earthmoving/construction and consumer (including all terrain vehicles) applications.

goal is to “create pipelines” between companies who need workers and people who want to work. Vision Gibson will train workers to meet companies’ specific needs and then place people in jobs.

In Perry County, Rural Jobs LLC, which specializes in health information technology, hired a team of five graduates of Vision Perry’s computer programming training. The five graduates all received salaried positions as software engineers.

“We’re extremely excited to be in Gibson County,” said Mr. Dumont. “We think we’re going to do a lot for this community.” He said well over 150 people had been given jobs in Perry Co. with hourly wages of $8-$30. Dozens of Gibson Co. residents could receive training through Vision Gibson to become computer programmers, he said. “We’re looking for motivated people who want to plug in and do the work,” said Dumont.

Trenton Mayor Tony Burriss said he was glad to see the vacant Regions bank building occupied.

“I’m very excited about the fact that we’re offering jobs to people; that’s what we worry about every day,” said Burriss.

Vision Gibson planned to hire a fulltime facilitator, said Tatiana Sankey, CEO of Vision Perry. “We would like to find someone who knows the towns and landscape here,” she said. She said the new firm will give people valuable jobs skills. “There’s a skills depression,” she said.

“We’re training people to give them 21st century skills. We train you and when you’re through you have skills and you have a job. We don’t train just for the sake of training. We gauge what abilities you have and match you with a company, and put you in a training program.”

Leslie Parker was the first person hired by Vision Gibson. She was to get training to work in customer service for the Asurion insurance firm based in Nashville. “I’m super excited,” said Parker. “The benefits are amazing and you’re working in your own home.”

County Commissioners Sandy Moss and Jim Overall attended Tuesday’s event. Overall said the new firm is a positive move for the county. “The county has seen so much go away,” he said. “We need something like this. There is potential for people to learn some high end skills. Training and education is essential to attract jobs.”

“I’m very proud of Mayor Witherspoon for overcoming all of the obstacles in the way of making this happen,” added Moss. “He showed that he’s going to do whatever is needed to bring jobs to our county.”

Retired Col. Joe Albright of Milan, former Milan arsenal plant commander is heading up a community advisory board for Vision Gibson. He said the firm can provide people with job skills that can be applied to many different areas. “You’re preparing people to succeed in a variety of jobs; you’re training people

so they can handle a variety of issues,” he said. “People can obtain critical skills that can be used wherever you work.”

“Vision Gibson is good for the entire county and region,” said Julie Burke, head of the Milan Chamber. “You could live in Jackson and get a job through Vision Gibson. This fills a gap where physical jobs are lacking in our community. If you’re willing to work, you can be trained.”

Partners with Vision Gibson cited were Aeneas Internet, Parham Refrigeration, Connected Tennessee, Regions Bank and AT&T.

Gibson County residents can apply for a job at the new Vision Gibson digital factory by visiting the website: http://smartrecruiters.com/visionperry

JOBS FOR GIBSON COUNTY – County Mayor Tom Witherspoon spoke at the groundbreaking for the new Vision Gibson company. He said the firm will provide training for local residents to obtain “in sourcing jobs” that have been going overseas.

“It’s going to be confusing,” said Smith. “You’ll be voting in one place for the county and another place for the city. I want to see some addresses on the new map. We should keep the districts the same as city wards.”

Com. Mark Flake of Milan also opposed the new districts. He complained his District 13 will expand southward to include Kefauver Drive.

Mayor Tom Witherspoon said he knew commissioners would complain. “We brought in experts from CTAS, and they helped us redraw the districts,” he said. “I was for an 8-district map because it was a lot simpler. I tried to do the right thing and offer smaller government. I was surprised at some commissioners who ran on a Tea Party platform but failed to make a motion for smaller, more streamlined government.”

If the county did not adopt new district lines, Chancery Court would have taken up the issue and could have implemented districts of its choosing, said officials.

Other actions by the County Commission Monday:

Special Meeting – Commissioners will reconvene Thurs., Dec. 1 at 6 p.m.

Medina Flooding – An extensive discussion focused on flood problems in Medina near Middle School Street. Medina resident Linda Hardwick spoke about flooding problems. “Our property is not in a flood zone,” she said. Highway Dept. Director Carl Stoppenhagen outlined several problems and said the county is limited in actions it can take. He said landowner Cliff Wilmeth has graded his property to mitigate some flooding. Mayor Witherspoon said property developers should be brought into the discussion.

Health Insurance – Com. Bobby Cotham said the Insurance Committee is seeking bids for insurance. Commission postponed voting on a proposal to eliminate health insurance coverage for former county employees who have reached retirement age.

Refinancing Debt – On the urging of Com. Allen Barker of Humboldt, the Commission rejected a proposal from Scott Gibson of Morgan Keegan to lock

into fixed interest rates on refinancing two bond issues totaling about $13.4 million that paid for industrial park land and the new jail. The Budget Committee will review financing options and make a proposal Dec. 1.

Gibson said the county could save $20,000 on refinancing of $1.35 million in capital outlay notes used to purchase industrial park land. Restructuring a $10M bond issue used to pay for jail construction in 2004 could save $50,000 per year, he said. Gibson said the current interest rate on the $10 million bond payment is 4.48 percent and he hoped to refinance through 2029 at about 3.25 percent. Mayor Witherspoon said the resolution would have authorized the county to shop for bonds. The Budget Committee will review the county’s options with regard to refinancing and make a recommendation at the Dec. 1 meeting.

New Fire Chief – Commission approved the hiring of new Fire Chief Bryan Cathey.

Courtroom Security – Approved $17,041.37 to upgrade “dated” security equipment in the Juvenile

for companies affected by foreign trade. TAA offers a variety of benefits and services to support workers in their search for reemployment including job training, job search and relocation allowances, income support, and assistance with healthcare premium costs.

“Clearly this grant is great news for the displaced workers at Goodyear,” said Commissioner Davis. “With the dual support provided under Trade Adjustment Assistance and this National Emergency Grant, these individuals will have a full range of assistance in order to get back to work.”

Services are provided through the Tennessee Career Center system. All workers covered in the grant are eligible to receive services

including job placement, career counseling, and remedial training in an adult education classroom. Occupational skills training can also be approved based on a client’s interests and the likelihood of training leading to employment.

Seventy of the 850 affected workers were leased workers from Hamilton Ryker, located in Martin, Tennessee. Hamilton Ryker, a provider of consulting, human resources, and management services, provided staffing to the Goodyear facility, such as administrative support, lab technicians, tire processors, as well as some professional personnel.

Spouses of affected workers may also take advantage of the services provided under the National Emergency Grant.

director’s evaluation at its next retreat. Board chair Sara Meals said she didn’t feel comfortable scoring Mr. Pruett on all of the included areas since he only took over in July. Pruett asked the board to submit areas of strengths and weaknesses to him to help him get a gauge for his performance over the past four months.

The board will also discuss its self-evaluations. Board member Dana Welch noted that working to educate the community on Local Options Sales Tax (LOST) revenues has improved the board’s communication. “With our current petition campaign, it’s requiring a lot more community communication than we’ve probably ever done since I’ve been on the board,” she said. “I think we’re getting some good experience.”

Goats- The Gibson

County High School agriculture program, on recommendation from the advisory committee, will add goats to his animal care classes. Pruett said some of the Ag students are uncomfortable working with larger animals like horses and cattle, and the advisory committee agreed adding goats would be beneficial. “We can sell that big fancy mower now can’t we?” board member Steven

Tate joked.TEAM- Pruett updated

the board on the new TEAM evaluation system in place for teachers. He said that as of Oct. 31, principals and administrators had completed 329 evaluations. In the planning component of the evaluation, the average score on a scale of 1-5 is 3.5 with a low of 1.3 and high of 5. Average score for instruction is 3.3 with a low of 1.5 and high of 4.7.

ANTI-BULLYING PROGRAM - Bailey Moore and seven other Yorkville students shared information on the school’s anti-bullying program with Gibson County school board members who met at Yorkville for last Thursday’s meeting. Katrina Jetton coordinates the program and said number 1’s scattered throughout the school indicate the students’ desire to be one tribe. “We are one tribe working together against bullying,” she said.

Court, including electronic panic buttons. Court Clerk Janice Jones spoke about state laws mandating minimum security standards. Mayor Witherspoon said the court had seen an increase in “angry people.”

Workforce Development - Commissioners heard a presentation by Gil Fletcher, Exec. Director of the Humboldt Chamber of Commerce about workforce development in the county.

Fletcher said the commission has made workforce development the county’s number one objective. “It’s up to us to put the proper focus on workplace development,” said Fletcher. “We are better than the perceptions of the workforce in our county, but there are things we can make improvements in.” He called for more county unity in economic development.

The Grapevine By Sarah Skinner

Dyer Church of Christ By Sabrina Sullivan New Hope By Shirley Hooper

We had a wonderful day at St. Paul Sunday. The weather was beautiful on the outside and the spirit was high on the inside. We were observing our Church Anniversary of 119 years. The men held a wonderful devotion with the male chorus providing the music. We inserted a testimony period in our service, and some powerful testimonies were given. Rev. Michelle Skinner delivered a powerful message. Her topic was, “There is nobody like Jesus.” She said her scripture was the Bible.

Dinner was served upon the arrival of our guest church for our 3:00 o’clock service. Rev. Terry Barlow, a very good friend of Rev. and Mrs. Pounds, and his congregation at Solomon Chapel Missionary Baptist Church of Winnburg, Tennessee were our guests. Rev. Barlow’s message, “The Church,” was found in 1 Corinthians 1:1-4. The choir provided the music.

My nieces, Denita Warren Armstrong attended morning service and Felicia Warren Jones attended the afternoon service. We were very glad to have them. Rev. and Mrs. Pounds brought his sister, Mrs. Willie B. Warren to service Sunday and she was able to stay all day.

My brother, Jerry W.

Warren passed away Saturday morning at Jackson General Hospital. Jerry had been very sick for approximately four months. He was staying with my brother Charles and wife Laura in Trezevant, Tennessee. Charles and Laura, Mary Warren, Cathy Bailey, Joyce Walker and I were with him last week. His funeral arrangements are incomplete at this time.

Bro. William Edmonds came home from the hospital Friday evening. Others on our prayer list are: L. M. Bardwell, John Mitchell, Marlon Yarbrough, Martha Simpson, Josie Johnson, Mary L. Mays, John (Duckie) Mays, Geraldine Grice, Rosie Allen, Rev. Henry Banks and the Warren family.

Rev. Michelle Skinner spent a week in Copenhagen, Denmark with her job week before last. She did not enjoy that trip. She reported the weather was cold and foggy; she did not see any sunshine while she was there; she did not see any sunshine while she was there, and it was six hours difference in our time zone, so she got very little sleep. She was very glad to get back home.

God bless and have a good week.

Wednesday evening, Brother Corey Meggs continued the study on spiritual gifts and how to discover our ministry. Ever wonder why God put you here? Read Psalm 139:13-16 and you will find that God had a plan for our live even before we were born. Ephesians 2:8-10 tells us we are created in Christ to do good works. We talked of abilities, personality and experiences and how each can be used to help others and glorify God.

Sunday, Brother Terry Owens sang, “Don’t Let Me Miss the Glory,” a very appropriate song as we look at the lovely fall colors everywhere. Brother Corey spoke on, “Don’t forget God’s benefits,” from Psalm 103:1-5 and Joshua. We all get weary in body but God has much for us to do. He gives us promise of victory and we can enter His rest. We welcomed Lisa Alford to our

church family.Sunday evening Brother

Corey spoke on “How were people in the old testament saved before the coming, crucifixion, and resurrection of Christ?” In Galatians 3:6-9 and 15-16 we find Abraham believed God. Believers are children of Abraham through whom all nations are blessed. His seed mentioned in verse points to Christ.

Harvest day is next Sunday, November 20. There will be a meal after morning service. No evening service, we join Dyer First Assembly at 6:00 p.m. for Thanksgiving service. Prayer meeting and Bible study will be on Tuesday, November 22.

One Sunday in church a little boy took off his tie and placed it in the offering plate. His mother asked, “What are you doing?” The boy answered, “The preacher asked us to give our ties and offerings.”

Morning worship services had an attendance of 114 and 85 in Sunday school.

Our message for the morning service came from the book of 1 Peter 3:15-17. Be ready; sanctify the Lord in your heart (make holy). Show others the hope that you have that comes from Jesus. Answer others with reverence to God with meekness.

Our message for the evening service came from the book of 2 Timothy 2:15 and 3:16-17. Biblical authority stated and illustrated from God. Jesus had authority on earth as shown through his teaching and miracles. Jesus had authority over the weather, death and sickness (all worldly things). Jesus guided the Apostles as the Bible guides us, written by the Apostles. We need to study to show ourselves approved so that we may know the truth.

Remember the following in prayer: Jerry Martin will start treatments this week so keep him in your prayers, the family of E. E. “Cotton” Pigue during their time of

mourning, all of our shut-ins and those in nursing homes.

Important dates to remember this month: On November 20th any young folks intending on attending CYC in February will meet after morning services.

November 20th meetings: Any young folks interested in attending CYC in February will meet after morning services. House-to-House pamphlets will be assembled at the church at 5 p.m. There will be a visitation meeting at 5:30 p.m. at the church building.

November the 27th is our homecoming at the church. Our guest speaker will be Brother Barry England. There will be an add-a-dish meal after services. Be sure and invite friends, family and former members back for 2011 Homecoming.

Congratulations to Danny Morris and Heather Clark on their upcoming wedding on December 17, 2011. May they have many glorious years together.

Many friends and relatives of Cynthia and Luke Lamar dared to fight thegusty winds last Sunday afternoon to attend a baby shower for the couple,hosted by the aunt of the expectant mother, Tonya Martin. Guests enjoyed eating a most beautiful cake with white fondant icing decorated with pink,yellow and white pearls, topped with a “family” of whimsical yellow ducks.The cake was surrounded by strawberry cupcakes topped with pink icing andtopped with small yellow ducks. Delicious pink punch finished off the table of desserts.

Guests were also tempted by an array of finger foods includingminiature cocktail wieners in a blanket, vegetable tray, fruit tray, carameldip, and cheese and crackers. Following the lovely culinary offerings, Cynthiawas showered with many wonderful gifts for the little one who is to arrive by Christmas.

Three upstanding couples of our fair city marked another milestone in marriage longevity last week. Celebrating their

anniversaries were: W.C. and Wanda Tate on November 9, William and Ann Duren on November 10, and Donald and Mary Asbridge on November 11. We congratulate each couple on their anniversary and wish them many, many more. Food for thought: Your pain is more than I’ve known. It’s far beyond myscope. I offer you my prayers and love and Christ who gives us hope. ForHe alone can heal our hearts, He knows just how you feel. So trust Him nowto bring you through, His power to heal is real.

Include on your prayer list this week: Liam Sims, Bonnie Graves, Joe Smith, Paul Lee Williams, Jimmy Simmons, Easton Hopper, Paul Hughes, Carol and Bobby Primrose, Jesse and Elaine Davdison, Jackie Zaricor, Amanda Davis, Elmer and Virginia Williams, Doris and Sam Weatherly, David Stephenson, W.T.

Treatment for MyelofibrosisA sign of myelofibrosis is the disruption of the

normal production of blood cells by the bone marrow. This disruption leads to scarring of the bone marrow, which impairs its ability to produce different types of cells. Normally, stem cells in the bone marrow leads to the development of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Anemia, increased risk of infections, and bleeding conditions can develop as a result of myelofibrosis. Bone pain can also result. In response to the deficiency, the liver and spleen attempt to produce the cells that are lacking, and these organs can become enlarged. A genetic mutation leads to myelofibrosis, although the exact cause of the mutation is unknown. Persons over age 50 are more likely than others to develop the condition.

A stem cell transplant is the only treatment currently available for a cure of myelofibrosis. Medications are available to treat conditions that may develop as a result of myelofibrosis for persons who are not able to receive a transplant. Hydroxyurea (Hydrea) works to decrease the size of an enlarged spleen, normalize cell production, and improve bone pain and other symptoms. Fluoxymesterone (Androxy) mat be prescribed along with prednisone, to improve production of red blood cells for persons with anemia.

Our Sunday school hour began with everyone standing and singing the hymn “Heavenly Sunlight.”

Lindsey Allmon opened us in prayer. We all dismissed to our Sunday school classes. Kay Fields opened the adult class in prayer. Christy Skelton did a good job teaching us our lesson “Do You Show Respect To Others” from Romans 14:1-12. We are to show respect to other Christians, even when we find it difficult. Shirley King closed us in prayer.

Our morning worship hour began with everyone standing and saluting the American Flag as we said the Pledge of Allegiance in honor of Veterans Day weekend. We then recognized all the ones who had served our country and their families. Stephen Fields read us a poem entitled “They did their Share.” Rejoice in the Lord always. Elaine Fields played the piano as Mike Fields and the church choir led us in the hymns “Trust and Obey” and “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.”

William McDonald opened services in prayer.Bro. Steve welcomed everyone and made many announcements. During our time of meet and greet with our church family and visitors we took time to personally thank those among us who

had served our country and the families of those who were now serving. Remember to always pray for our country and for those who serve.

Bro. Steve’s message on Repentance was from 2 Corinthians 7:9-11. Mike Fields dismissed services in prayer as the hymn “Only Trust Him” was sung.

Our Sunday night services began with the hymn “The Windows of Heaven.”

We dismissed to our discipleship training class where Mike Fields opened the adult class in prayer then did a good job teaching us our lesson “Taking Jesus at His Word.” John 4:46-50. What great testimony we find in verse 50 The man believed what Jesus said to him and departed. Shirley King closed us in prayer.

Our Sunday night worship hour began with everyone singing the hymn “Battle Hymn of the Republic.”

Bro. Steve led the prayer. Christy Skelton prayed over the many shoeboxes that had been filled during a special time of dedication for Operation Christmas Child and Samaritan’s Purse.

Bro. Steve’s message was from Matthew 24:4-8. Mike Fields dismissed services in prayer as the hymn “Pass Me Not, O Gentle Saviour” was sung.

Read your Bibles this week .

Our announcements included several interesting facts from old articles from past issues of the Tri-City concerning veterans. Sally Baird, Sandy Whitley, Linda Carmoney, Danielle Rickman, Logan Rahm, Chelsea Joyce and Lexi Whitley all participated in the GCHS ceremony that recognized and honored our veterans. One observer told me that it was the best program honoring veterans that they had ever witnessed. Nathan Quast did a great job playing, “Happy Birthday,” on the piano for his mother, Liz, as well as Robbie Whitley, Bob Taylor, and Anna Quast. Our children’s message this week was given by Royce Turner. She shared a message about the importance of having a positive outlook and attitude. She read from an old “sampler” with its cross-stitched message that had a line that went, “Success begins in a feller’s mind...” Royce reminded all of us that God knows our potential and has plans for our lives according to Jeremiah 29:11. So try to think of yourself as God does. He loves you and cares for you and thought you were worth dying for. That makes you pretty special! When the preacher begins his sermon by putting a clock on the pulpit but faces it away from him, you know you’re

Greetings from the Cloras Chapel Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Dyer! We had a wonderful Sunday school Sunday.

As we talked about love, we could feel the love of God in our hearts. Pastor Myles preached a wonderful message titled, “The Power of God.” The angel choir sang and the spirit of the Lord was in the place.

Minister Leila Swift led us in a testimonial service and blessings from God were expressed from many. God is a good God. We were glad to have Deacon Staten from Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church in Yuma, TN. He expressed that he enjoyed the service very much. Pastor Myles, Rev. Jeremy Myles, Apostle Tim Adams, Minister Heather Myles and Sister Robin McNeil visited Brother Bob and Sister Mary Harris and also Sister Verdell Fisher. They reported that they had church.

in trouble. But instead of ignoring the time, Bro. Chris told us that we needed to start paying attention to the time and the “times” that we are living in. He suggested that many of us are hitting the “snooze button” instead of “waking up” to the alarms that are going off all around us. Our youth, along with some adults, dined at McDonalds and then went shopping for items to fill shoeboxes for Samaritan’s Purse on Sunday afternoon. This is a yearly project in which they participate. We are making progress with our Christmas program. It will have a combination of traditional Christmas music, comedy, a slideshow and a good story to tell. Be sure to come and see it. Bro. Don is expected in by the end of the week so we look forward to seeing him. He has been away on his “other” since the end of October. This coming Sunday we will be celebrating Thanksgiving with a covered-dish meal following the morning service. So cook up your favorite recipe and let’s enjoy!

We won’t have evening service at our church, but we are invited to participate in the Rutherford community service at First Baptist at 5:00 p.m.. So either way, I hope to see you in church on Sunday!

many members of Cloras Chapel journeyed to New Birth Kingdom to support Minister Kimberly Kemp as she delivered her first message. She did a fantastic job and we are very proud of her. Her message was “Come in out of the Rain.” Afterwards Pastor Myles and First Lady Myles had an inspiring visit with Rev. Ronald Bowers and his wife, Sister Felicia Bowers. Rev. Bowers is doing some better.

Please remember “Parade For Christ” will be the fourth Sunday in this month. The march will begin at 2 p.m. and service at 3 p.m. Everyone is cordially invited.

Sunday School for Shut-Ins By Mary King

When you’re ready please read Matthew 20:16. When His mother realized she had been chosen she says this: “For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.” Luke 1:48 Then Mary says: He hath put down the mighty from their

seats, and exalted them of low degree.” (Luke 1:52) Mary said that about Jesus. Elisabeth had said this: “And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?”

We know from these words that the people of that day knew that the Messiah, the Christ, Jesus was coming

celebrated our harvest day at Laneview. It was a day to give back to God and give thanks for all our blessings.

We at Laneview were privileged to have our sister church, New Victory, join us in our service.

Bro. Terry Bowlden presented a powerful message. It’s not about us; it’s about Jesus. It doesn’t matter what you’ve done or where you’ve been. God can change your heart if you ask. It’s not about how much money you have or what job status you have. It doesn’t matter how many vehicles you have or how big your house is. It’s the heart He wants. God loves us all.

It’s not about us; it’s about Jesus. Until we believe and put our faith in Him we will never receive the blessings He wants to give us.

The enemy is always lurking trying to distract our minds with things of this world. There is a God that is so much greater. Put your trust in Him and allow His light to shine through you.

It’s not about; us it’s about Jesus! Scripture reference Isaiah 6:1-9

Upcoming events are November 20th-youth hosting chili/soup dinner- (donations for youth trip), Dec. 3rd Nursing Home Store.

Remember the sick and the service men and women in your prayers during this holiday season.

Let God’s light shine this week!

and they were expecting Him. Are they thankful?

Now Zacharias and Elisabeth had John. Neither of them was expecting to have a child. They were only being faithful to God when Zacharias was in the temple.

“And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side

of the altar of incense. And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.” (Luke 1:11-12.) That angel told Zacharias that his wife would give birth to a son and his name was to be John. In those days, a wife without a child was a smear on the woman’s name. (I Samuel 1) When his wife knew she was indeed pregnant, she said: “Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.” (Luke 1:25) Do you think Elisabeth is thankful? What would have been different if Elisabeth had said something like this: “ I can’t. I’m too old. I might die giving birth.”

How long have you prayed for God to answer one certain prayer? How long have you waited for God to confirm that He has heard you? God wants you to know that today is your day. He’s on your side. Let’s take a look in the Old Testament: “And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand; and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?” (Joshua 5:13)

In short, the Man answers, “I’m not here to take sides. I’m here to take over.” (Joshua 5:14). Joshua fell at His feet and worshipped Him in thankful adoration. (Joshua 1:8-9)

The Tri-City Reporter deadline is Friday @ 5 p.m.692-3506

Lowrance Chapel By Jerry Bell

Hello, again to all my dear friends who have hopefully missed our weekly news and sermon column from Lowrance Chapel for the past few weeks in The Tri-City Reporter.

I thought that after my stay for seven days at the Trenton Hospital in September that I was on the way to recovery, but I must have never fully recovered from the first bout of pneumonia. I am feeling much better at this time and was able to teach the Bible class and preach both lessons on Sunday. I really missed being with the congregation while I had to be away. I thank God for the doctors, nurses and all the staff of both hospitals who administered medications to me so I could recover and be well once again. We often take our health for granted and should thank God each day for the blessings He bestows upon us.

Our lesson for Sunday was taken from Jeremiah 7:1-15. I hope that you will

get your Bibles and read this text. In the days of Jeremiah the prophet (ca. 600 B.C.), the people of Judah faced difficult times. The Northern kingdom of Israel was history, taken into Assyrian captivity. Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, had defeated Assyria, and was making his way into Judah. The people had developed a false trust in other gods and the temple. This was condemned by the Lord through His prophet Jeremiah and one that we would do well to remember and avoid today. The people put too much trust in the temple that was in Jerusalem. They had the attitude that “we are safe; surely the Lord will not allow His temple to be destroyed.”

They cried out with the threefold statement, “ the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord. (v. 4) The Lord required more than rituals involving temple worship and outward piety. They were to worship the Lord with repentance and service “thoroughly.” They could not “run” to the temple and be safe. True service would spare them from Babylonian captivity. They tried to excuse their obvious sins with a false trust in their “own gods” and blatantly transgressed the law. (v. 8,9) They would then go to the temple, believing that such excused their conduct. Yet the

GIBSON COUNTY DEMOCRATIC PARTY MEETING

Bethpage By Joyce Brown

One advantage to being somewhat overweight is that you can stand your own when the wind is really puffin’ like it was Sunday. We all had re-arranged hairdos when we got inside the church, or at least, those who have hair did. Some of our guys weren’t bothered at all, not naming names.

Joe Peevyhouse had a birthday and like to never got enough money counted to get the birthday song. Jo and Tina played, “As The Deer,” during quiet time. I love that song. Call to worship was, “We Have Come Into His House.” Special music was, “God So Loves Me,” by Charles.

Bro James preached from Romans 8:27-31 on the subject, “If God Be For Us.” He gave us a challenge this week to read Romans Chapter 1. His text for the night message was Galatians 1:13-24; his subject being,

“Paul’s Past, Our Present.”The Shining Light Sunday

school class enjoyed an outing to Reelfoot Lake Saturday night to have supper at Boyette’s. We all had such a good time.

Deer season is underway and I understand that several have been bringing home venison for those good cool weather dishes - chili, spaghetti and whatever else they can come up with.

Congratulations to the members and supporters of the Gibson County High School Marching Pioneers. They came home from Nashville with the big one this year. Great job to all who had a part in making this a successful year.

Several attended the Baptist World Day of Prayer program at Bethel last week and were privileged to hear North American Missionary, Iris Blue speak of the work her

Kenton Flower Shop Christmas Open House

family is doing in Texas and anywhere else they are sent. What a testimony!

Georgia Lannom’s parents hosted a chili supper party to celebrate her fifth birthday last week. She was in her element opening gifts and showing her gratitude to those who were there.

We seem to have an appliance virus running rampant in our community. I heard that two families’ refrigerators have succumbed to this dreaded ailment. I don’t know of any shot that will stop it.

Next Sunday there will be chicken and dressing on the table at Bethpage and any other holiday dishes you can think of. We would love to have you come and join us for our pre-Thanksgiving service and dinner. We always have more than enough and we would warmly welcome you.

Speaking of food we need to be bumping up the stock in our food pantry. When we have plenty on our tables, we tend to forget that some have trouble feeding their families. So we need to buy extra when we are grocery shopping for the holidays and bring those items to church so we will be able to share.

Also, we are collecting “comfort” items to ship to our military folks in the desert areas. Deadline is next Sunday so remember to bring eye drops, wet wipes, lip balm, magazines, sunscreen etc. That’s a partial list. I didn’t get them all listed.

Verse for this week is Romans 8:1: There is therefore no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

God bless and don’t forget, we are hosting the Mason Hall Community Thanksgiving at Bethpage this Wednesday November 16.

the morning “Expectations” and he showed a touching video of a young man who reclaimed the joy of surfing by the remarkable ability of his trained dog that balanced himself and his charge through waves of all heights and energy.

Bro. Barnett cited examples form Matthew, Mark, and Luke in which the expectations of people were all wrong, but God had a better plan. With the angel’s message to Joseph concerning the coming of the Christ child, Joseph assisted Mary in preparation for miraculous events neither of them had ever expected.

The Jews wanted a political leader in the long-awaited Messiah, but Jesus came for a far better purpose of saving people from their sins and giving eternal life. Sometimes our expectations are not in God’s plans. God’s plans are better and will glorify him.

Lord could see through their hypocrisy. The Lord reminded them of where the temple had been and what had happened in the past. He said that He would do likewise with Jerusalem and the temple. They didn’t believe him! They failed to heed His prophet’s warnings. What had happened at Shiloh would happen at Jerusalem. They would be taken into captivity, just like Ephraim (Israel).

Today could we be trusting in a “false” trust simply just being “members” of some church? Are there those who are “acting” and perhaps believing that just because my name is on some church role that I am ok? These people really believe that they are “safe” and that the “church” (temple) will be their refuge. I am afraid that this kind of attitude is based on faulty reasoning. Do you remember the parable of the tares? Only the good seed was saved. Salvation is dependent on individual allegiance to God. Each one of us will give an account to the Lord for what “we have or have not done.” God has not changed! His grace demands holy living. (Titus 2:11-12)

We must remember that God has promised to do to us just as He did to Israel if we are not faithful to Him. (Romans 11:20-22) How do you stand before God this very day?

Cutler gave the devotional emphasizing positive thoughts, avoiding negative thinking, and keeping your thoughts on God.

After a prayer, Teresa led the pledge of allegiance and Janice Gibson led the group in singing “How Great Thou Art.” Sandra Newman read the September minutes which were approved as read. Pat Ward gave the treasurer’s report More recipes were exchanged. Each member is also asked to bring five typed recipes for the county FCE cookbook.

Sandra Newman discussed the November 12-14, 2012 state conference. The western region is responsible for the table decorations and centerpieces.

Jan Burks gave an interesting program on wild

birds. 88% of Americans eat turkey at Thanksgiving.

Registration deadline for the county Christmas luncheon is November 12. It will be held December 6 from 10:00-2:00, and the meal will be catered. Tap-A-Talent is October 31 from 10:00-2:00 at the Ag-Plex, and the group will be making Christmas decorations.

Announcements included the following: Concord Community Club Yard Sale is November 12 beginning at 8:00 A.M. The Holiday Fest is November 5 at the St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Humboldt

The next meeting will be at the Moore’s Chapel Community Center on November 21 at 7:00 P.M. Teresa McConnell and Frances Samples will be hostesses. After the club collect, the meeting was adjourned.
