Juvenile Court is among the topics to be addressed by the Gibson County Commission when legislators meet Mon., Nov. 8 at 9 a.m. in Trenton.

A public hearing is set for 8:30 a.m. regarding a request to rezone property owned by Ricky Pyle on Hwy 45 north of Bradford from A-1 (Agriculture-Forestry) to B-1 (Business).

Commission topics include:

Juvenile Court Restructuring – Due to the abolishment of the Juvenile Court Clerk position by the County Commission, major duties of Court personnel are being reassigned. The county will create the new position of “Court Administrator” and replace the former position of “Director of Youth Services.” Susan Featherstone will become Court Administrator at a salary of $41,500. Budget funds of $6,000 will be transferred to the Director of Youth Services position.

EMS salaries – $49,000 will be transferred within the EMS Ambulance Dept. budget to pay wages to newly

were “Kicking It Up In The Wild West For Healthy Lunches” during National School Lunch Week.

Spread out over a six day period, food service personnel brought a bit of the old West to the high school cafeteria. Held nationally, this was a time to encourage healthy living through healthy lunches. And celebrate, the personnel did. The food area of the cafeteria was decorated with all types of cowboy ‘attire.’ Students and faculty were treated to boots hanging from the ceiling, miniature horses looking at them on the salad and dessert counters, horses hanging from the ceiling, and numerous cowboy scenes stuck to the walls.

Through the week drawings were held during each of the three lunch periods. Four free meals, eight free desserts, and six free gatorades were given to students. In addition, six gift certificates to Wal-Mart were given to six lucky students. All students were given a fruit roll up.

Louise Sanford, Betty Blackburn, Sarah Taylor, Margie McCall, Linda Vinson, Brenda Ellington, Cindy Cooper, and Joyce Salles, Food Service Manager were all please with the results of the week.

finance report given on October 25, City Recorder Jason Griggs announced to the city council that Dyer had been awarded a $408,828 sewer grant that will take care of most of the problems with rebuilding the sewer plant. The city’s matching portion of the grant will be $30,772.

Mayor Sam Thompson stated that he had received a letter from the Department of the Environment and Conservation stating that the city could begin the process of working with engineers and contractors to facilitate the work for the sewer grant.

Also concerning the wastewater plant, bids were opened for an HVAC system for the plant. The bids were accepted and were referred to committee by the council.

Bids were also opened for

BY MICHAEL ENOCHSThe City of Dyer held a town hall meeting on

Tuesday evening October 26 at 6:30 p.m. at the city hall for an open discussion of water and sewer rates that were increased a few months ago by the city council. A large crowd of concerned citizens attended the meeting held in the conference room where the mayor and city council conduct the city’s business. Guidelines were set down by mayor Sam Thompson and the city attorney, Jennifer Deen. Each visitor was allowed to speak and ask questions for a five-minute period, after which the city council, the mayor, and city recorder Jason Griggs attempted to answer the questions put forth.

The city raised the water and sewer rates on the advice of a proposal from MTAS in order to cover a $97,000 shortfall in the water and sewer departments budget, largely due to replacing

and refurbishing old components and equipment in the two systems. Under state law the water and sewer departments must be self-sustaining financially. If not then the state will step in and set the water and sewer rates. Monies from other departments cannot be used to support water and sewer and monies from water and sewer cannot be used to help out other departments. City recorder Jason Griggs went into this explanation as to the reason for the rate increase in responses to several questions posed by different citizens.

One example of citizens concerns was expressed by Donna Glisson, who lives on Ashley Street in Dyer. She explained that she is having trouble paying her water and sewer bills that have nearly doubled from what they had been. She also stated that Rutherford’s bills went up too, but not nearly as much as Dyer’s.

The Gibson County Fair was voted runner-up as the favorite county fair in West Tennessee recently by readers of The Tennessee Magazine.

Robin Conover, Editor of The Tennessee Magazine and a former resident of Milan, sent a letter of congratulations to the County Fair organizers Oct. 15.

“Our contest for favorites was published earlier this year,” said Ms. Conover. “Readers selected their preferences in 34 categories. The Gibson County Fair is included as a runner-up in the Best of Tennessee list posted on the Tennessee Electric Cooperative Association (TECA) website. …Congratulations and we wish you continued success.”

The Dyer County Fair was named the best county fair in West Tennessee.

TECA publishes The Tennessee Magazine each month, and the magazine boasts of more than one million readers across the state, said Ms. Conover.

The Gibson County Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Awards Banquet has been cancelled due to poor ticket sales and lack of response to the event.

Twin Oaks holds childhood memories for McAlexander

BY APRIL G. JACKSONHUMBOLDT CHRONICLEBecky Couch

McAlexander looks at Twin Oaks with a different eye.

She was born in the front room of her family’s ancestral antebellum home nestled off Main Street at the end of Osborne Street. She grew up on the surrounding Humboldt acreage where other family homes were also located.

McAlexander is the great-great-granddaughter of Moses E. Senter, who bought the house and adjoining land not long after the house was built in 1853.

At the time the farm included the areas now known as Maple Circle and Bailey Park. Other prime locations on both sides of Main Street also were part of the purchase.

According to Senter family history, after the Civil War, the house, like many in the south, was lost because of unpaid back taxes. But in 1917, McAlexander’s grandfather Charles Wesley Rooks bought the house back. (Rooks was a newspaper man who at one time owned The Courier-Chronicle and The Tri-City Reporter.) Rooks is the man who dubbed the homeplace Twin Oaks after the large oaks on either side of the

drive. It is also known as the Senter-Rooks House.

In 1941, when McAlexander was a 6-year-old, the U.S. government exercised eminent domain of a large section of her grandfather’s pasture to build housing for workers at the Milan Arsenal.

“They were coming into Gibson County in droves to work at the arsenal and had to have housing,” she says, explaining the government housing that went up in towns across the county at the time. “Everyone was letting rooms. At the time, there was nothing here. I guess the area hadn’t bounced back from the Civil War or the Depression. There was nowhere to live.”

McAlexander, the daughter of Nathan and Billie Rooks Couch, as a child lived in one of two smaller houses behind the great house and facing what is now Bailey Park. Later on her family moved into the Main Street house which now belongs to Dwight Hawks.

When asked if the stately, pillared home was a showplace, McAlexander laughs: “Not really. We had chickens and cows there when I was growing up.”

After the C.W. Rooks family, the house was home

to Bessie (Rooks) and Lain Fitzgerald, and then became the home of McAlexander’s brother, Dr. Charlie Couch. Dr. Couch died last year and the home has been on the market for about a year.

“It’s a sad time for me,” McAlexander said. She noted how families took care of one another at the homeplace for generations. During the depression, she recalled, four families called Twin Oaks home. She compared it to a family compound. “I hate this so bad. It is like the death of a family member.”

Saturday, antique seekers from across West Tennessee converged on the premises of Twin Oaks in Humboldt as the estate sale began. The historic home has been on the real estate market for months now. It is the beginning of a new and unknown era for the landmark, the first site in the county to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Legends and facts about Twin Oaks have mingled through the 150 years since the Civil War. Among those:

•Nathan Bedford Forrest used the house as a hospital during the war. Moses Senter’s son John Senter, fought with Forrest.

•It was also used as a prisoner holding area and some marks are left on chimneys where prisoners were chained to them.

•From a downstairs closet, there is a passage up to the attic.

Griggs stated that Rutherford’s system was not as large and hasn’t had to have the extensive repairs that Dyer’s system has had. The wastewater plant in Dyer is over 30 years old and is worn out.

Sue Albea of Lee Street complained that her water bill has doubled and is now more than her electric bill. Needa Jowers on South Main Street complained that she has to choose between mowing her yard and paying her water bill. Dorothy Bearce of Peck Switch Cove said her bill was $41 but has now gone to $78 plus. She said, “If the state wants to come in, let them- they can’t get blood out of a turnip. With everything going up, the bucket is going to run dry.”

Kim Jackson said she has not lived in Dyer long and was afraid she would either have to move again because of the large water and sewer bills or stay around and “vote you out of here.”

Ken Simms stated, “These towns have factories setting empty and people need jobs. This is just not right.”

Dyer citizen Ken Workman asked why the

city can not cut the budget. Johnson replied that the council has “cut where ever we can for the last eight years.”

Resident Cliffton Bryant stated, “Many of us are on social security and a fixed income while everything has gone up. The city needs to be on a budget as well.”

Joe Gathings asked about $160,000 the city was going to spend on the proposed Expo Center: “- the board can waive that. Can we expect any answers about waiving that?”

Alderman Robert Johnson reassured the citizens that things would get better because in the near future the rates would be reduced.

Griggs mentioned that the city was getting a sewer grant from the state for $408,828 with $50,000 in upgrades left to the city. A recent walk through of the water plant determined that there were approximately $50,000 in needed repairs/upgrades. By December the city should be able to bring down the water and sewer rates. There was also the matter of final payments to be settled for storm damage from the tornado of 2006. The city is still waiting on

the courts.Griggs stated, “I see

everyday what it takes to maintain the water and sewer operation for this city. We are told by the state what we can and cannot do, and what we must and must not do. We have to comply with the mandates of the state.”

Deen stated, “You have asked some really good questions. The present system was recommended by MTAS. The city has every intention of bringing the water and sewer rates down as soon as possible. No one wants it up as it is. The city has zero intentions of leaving it where it is.”

Alderman Nathan Reed stated, “We have the option and full intention of lowering the rates as soon as possible.”

Thompson concluded the town hall meeting by reminding the citizens that the city has to go by the state recommendations and will work to lower the rate as soon as possible.

Alderperson Judy Baker told the crowd she would like to see as many citizens come to the regularly scheduled meetings as turned out for the town hall meeting.

birth to five years of age. Gibson County’s expense is about $1800 per month, or $22,000 per year. That currently covers nearly 1800 children enrolled in the program. Our desire is to always increase our enrollment. Our goal every year is to have enrollment of 2000 children in Gibson County. No child is ever turned away.

Farmer stated that the radiothon and auction last year raised over $12,000. Our goal is to match or beat that for this year. He continued by saying items are currently being solicited for the auction throughout Gibson County and Tennessee. Items that always sell well are sport, NASCAR, country music, gospel music and items for

the home. If a business or person would like to contribute an item, please carry it to one of the chamber offices or libraries in Gibson County. You may also call Don Farmer at 234-8411 for pickup.

The radiothon will kick off at 10 a.m., Saturday, November 6th, at the church. Victory 93.7 radio will go live from noon until 6 p.m. A number of large items will be auctioned live starting at 4 p.m. Silent auction items will begin at noon.

Come out and review the items and place your bids. Bids can also be placed by cell phones provided by Verizon Wireless of Humboldt, Milan and Trenton. The phone numbers to place bids are 225-9461, 225-9475, 225-9478 or 234-0071.

BY LORI CATHEYOn Thursday, October

28 at approximately 10 a.m. residents of 419 Knox Street were sitting on the couch inside the home when everything in the house started to shake.

“It was like someone had driven a big truck into the house” said Lehman Webb, one of the home’s residents.

The homeowners are Pat and Kathy Keith. Once outside they found three vehicles crushed! There was a limb as big as a tree on the house. The carport and the edge of

the house received the most damage. Webb’s Gibson County Sheriff’s Department patrol car was among the damaged vehicles.

Gibson Electric and the phone company both had to repair lines that were torn down by the fallen tree. Residents of Rutherford heard the noise as far as Hopper Street and two blocks experienced a power outage. Gibson Electric had the power restored within a couple of hours.

Rutherford Fire Dept. and Rutherford’s Street Dept. responded to help clear

the road. They were on the scene for about five hours.

“I would just like to take this time to thank all the wonderful people who came and helped us with the cleanup of the tree that fell on our house. That is why I am proud to live in this town. Special thanks to the Rutherford Fire Department, Rutherford Street Department, the Police Department, Gibson Electric, the Baptist Disaster Relief Team, members from the Sheriff’s Department, and all of our friends that came to help,” said Pat, Kathy and Lehman.

Join America’s Greatest Recipe Swap Today!

Join the recipe swap and conversation!

By now, unless you’ve been out of the country somewhere, you have probably seen the video clip of an older woman (Or is it a man in drag?) walking down the street in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theater, talking, apparently, on a cell phone. Nothing unusual about that, except that the film clip was originally made in 1928 at the premier of a Charlie Chaplin movie called The Circus.

There were, of course, no cell phones in 1928; they weren’t even demonstrated until 1973, and it wasn’t until the 1990’s that they became small enough to conceal in your hand.

It seems a Belfast film maker who is a Charlie Chaplin fan purchased a boxed set of DVD’s of some of Chaplin’s major movies, and one of them had a “short subject” on it about the premier of The Circus, with footage of the crowd outside the theater. Upon watching it, he spotted the woman and became fascinated, unable to figure out how a woman could be using a cell phone in 1928. A few days ago he posted the segment containing the woman on the Internet, and it went “viral”, gathering more than a million and a half hits in just a few days. Most major news organizations picked it up as well.

And if you’re one of the millions of people who have seen it, you know that it does, if fact, look as if this older woman is walking down the

street talking on a cell phone. It’s a very provocative film clip.

But is the woman truly a time traveler, as many people have suggested? An amazing number of people seem to think she is, and that’s pretty interesting, considering that virtually no scientist who studies such things believes time travel to the past is possible. Some argue that the concept may, and it’s a real big may, be theoretically possible, but as a practical matter, it’s never going to happen.

“But that’s thinking,” said a guy I was talking to about it, “based on today’s knowledge. Who knows what advances science will come up with in the future.”

And that’s true. History is replete with predictions that grossly underestimate the future progress of technology and science. “I think there is a world market for maybe five computers,” said Thomas Watson, Chairman of IBM, in 1943. “The telephone has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communications. The device is inherently of no value to us,” declared a Western Union internal memo on 1876.

“Airplanes are interesting toys, but of no military value,” Marshal Ferdinand Foch, French commander of allied forces, declared during the closing days of World War I, and then there is this; “Everything that can be invented, has been invented.”

That’s what Charles Duell, Commissioner, United States Office of Patents, said in 1899.

So yes, we don’t know what the future holds, but for the foreseeable future, except in movies and novels, time travel is impossible, and barring a quantum leap in quantum physics, it will be for the next 50 years.

At least, that’s what the counter argument holds. “But it’s got to be a cell phone,” my friend continued. “It couldn’t be one of those old-fashioned hearing tubes; they were too big. Plus, you can see her talking on the film. It had to be a cell phone.”

I’m sorry, but don’t buy the theory that she is from another era. I wish I could. I’ve been fascinated by the idea of time travel ever since I read “The Sound of Thunder” in the 1950’s. That’s the Ray Bradbury short story about a time traveling dinosaur hunter who accidently steps off the company’s designated pathway on a trip back to prehistoric times and steps on a butterfly. He thinks it doesn’t matter, but when he returns to the present he finds that the person elected president before his trip has now lost the election instead. This “butterfly effect” caused infinitesimal changes through the ages that altered an election in the 20th Century and who knows what else.

I love time traveling fiction, but the truth is, there were small, fairly unobtrusive hearing tubes (They called

them ear trumpets.) back then, and some of them were fairly small, hand-held models that even had fashionable coverings that made them look like women’s purses. There’s a picture of a crocodile skin covered one on the Internet that looks like something like a wallet you would see a woman carrying today. The “time traveler” could have well been carrying

one of them.And there’s an old, old

principle of medieval philosophy called Occam’s Razor that admonishes us that when we are given more than one set of possibilities to explain a given phenomenon, the simplest one is usually correct. In other words, simpler answers are more likely to be correct than

complex ones, because “nature” prefers simplicity.

So, reluctantly, I think the film simply shows an old woman walking down the street holding a fancy, perhaps fashionable, ear trumpet to her ear. Frankly, as I said, I wish I could think otherwise, but I don’t.

But I still can’t figure out who she might have been talking to.

Treatment for the Lung Condition COPDChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

is a condition resulting in obstructed airways of the lungs and breathing difficulty. Emphysema and chronic bronchitis are types of COPD. The airways of persons diagnosed with COPD are narrowed and broken down. Symptoms include cough and wheezing. Smoking can lead to COPD.

Although treatments are available for the alleviation of the symptoms of COPD, there is no cure available. Bronchodilators work to make it easier to breathe. Short-acting beta agonists, such as albuterol (Proventil, Ventolin) are bronchodilators commonly prescribed. Ipratropium is a short-acting anticholinergic medication that works to improve lung function and the ability to breathe. These medications are available as a combination inhaler, known as Combivent. Long-acting bronchodilators, such as salmeterol (Serevent) and formoterol (Foradil), are taken on a regular basis. Long-acting anticholinergic medications, such as tiotropium (Spiriva), may also be prescribed to help improve lung function and the ability to breathe. Inhaled corticosteroids, such as fluticasone (Flovent), may be prescribed for reduction of inflammation of the lungs. It is important that those who smoke take steps to quit smoking to prevent or delay the progression of COPD.

All friends and family of Curtis Wade and Irma Delle Moody are invited to a 70th wedding anniversary reception on Sunday, November 14, 2010 from 2-4 p.m. in the fellowship hall of Jolley Springs Baptist Church. The church is located at the corner of Hwy. 190N and Hwy. 54 near Como.

Their children are Jerry Moody and wife, Margie

(deceased); Larry Moody (deceased) and wife, Sylvia; Linda Crawford and husband, Paul; Norma Parham and husband, Mike. A note beginning “I remember when,” a copy of an old picture you would like to share with them or a card, would be a very treasured remembrance. Curtis and Irma’s address is 90 Hwy 140 Gleason, TN 38229.

Mother nature provided a wonderful autumnal atmosphere this year for Halloween. The neighborhoods were filled with ghosts and goblins and children dressed in all the latest characters’ costumes, as children of all ages made their ways through the streets from house to house as well as the more public “trunk or treat” spots filling their containers with candy.

Great sadness has come to the family of former Kentonian Mr. Frank May. Mr May served as Plant Manager with the Kenton Custom Mold Plant for 18 years. He was a United States Army Veteran and will be interred at Arlington National Cemetery.We offer our most sincere condolences to his friends and family.

All across the county parents accompanied their young deer hunters in this season’s Youth Hunt. Donning their full camouflage hunting ensembles, they braved the cool morning temperatures to move stealthily through the woods to their hunting stands in hopes of taking their trophy deer. Many great memories were made by these young hunters and their parents as well. Congratulations hunters

on your successful hunt!Last Thursday, Cindy Lamar

was hostess to her aunt and cousin, Doris Weatherly and Myrna Parks of Hickman, Kentucky. The ladies enjoyed a delicious lunch.Myrna and Cindy were enrapt as Doris shared many interesting facts about their ancestors as well as answered their many familial questions.

Food for Thought: I walked a mile in his shoes, and learned a thing or two. I learnedthat what I’d thought before, of him wasn’t true. I learned that he had far much more, to bearthan I could know. I learned that only God knows one’s heart, as for me....it just ain’t so.

Prayer List: Jimmy Simmons, Amanda Davis, Rebecca Bing, Joey Henry, Preston White, Norma Simpson, Easton Hopper, Aaron Whitworth, Regina Miller, Carol and Bobby Primrose, Jesse and Elaine Davidson, Henry and Cathy Herane, Lil Wardlow, David Stephenson, Elmer Williams, Sam Weatherly, Paul Lee Williams, Eurby Sanders, Freda Lamar, Racine Hodges, and Clint McLodge.

Sunday services opened with the beautiful “Surely The Presence” played by our organist and pianist. The call to worship was “Holy Ground” with the welcome hymn “He Keeps Me Singing.” Charles Perryman had the special music “Haven Of Rest.”

Ricky Littleton representing Bethpage Church presented our pastor Bro. James Taylor and wife Natalie with a gift to honor them during Pastor Appreciation observance. We are so blessed to have this young couple to serve and minister with our church family.

Bro. James’ message was taken from Gen 1:6-10. His title was “The Joys Of Creation.” He had some interesting points and other scriptures to reference that topic. One that I remembered was “Between the heights of love and the depths of peace, we are in the middle in a state of grace.” I think that is a precious and comfortable place to be.

Scripture reading for the night service was Rom 15:1 and the text for his sermon was Rom 12:1-3 on Getting Real With My Worship. It was a continuation of his message from last week’s community revival. It has been a spiritually enlightening week. Good crowds attended the services where different pastors in this area preached each night.

Youth night was on Wednesday and lots of kids enjoyed pizza and drinks and an upbeat worship service. Some of us oldies were in attendance and we enjoyed it too. Hopefully this effort will bring our Christian community closer together in the future so we can truly serve God together in harmony.

Diane Jenkins celebrated her birthday last week. She’s a small lady but reminds me of the energizer bunny, she just keeps on going and going.

Our prayers and get well wishes go out to Brennon Smith as he will be returning home tomorrow following treatment at the Med for a hunting accident. We are so thankful that it was no more serious than it was.Britny Fletcher is facing some surgery on her knee as a result of the car wreck she was in last week.There was a long list of prayer

request to add to our list this week.

We were glad to have Mr. and Mrs. Brock Lowrance in church this week as their first trip as a married couple.

We had a big crowd for the hamburger and hot dog supper following Sunday night services. We normally have a bonfire and roast our weenies and marshmallows outside, but it was decided that due to the severe dry conditions they would be grilled and brought inside. A large group of kids and not so kids loaded on a trailer of hay and took off cross country for a fun time. It was perfect weather for that adventure.

We missed Mrs. Oneida Sellers and Ron and Dot. Oneida’s birthday was Sunday, so they met Gary and other family members to have a birthday meal honoring their mom. Happy Birthday Mrs. Oneida.

From the Pastor’s pen: There is a sufficiency in the world for man’s need but not for man’s greed. I Tim 6:6-7 Now Godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

Don’t forget to set your clock back Saturday night.

Hope everyone had a great weekend! We certainly did at North Union.

Bro. Don was out of town so we were blessed to have Bro. Daymond Duck deliver our morning message.

We were reminded of “God’s View of the Future” from Daniel 2. Aren’t you glad that our future is in the hands of such a capable God!

Sally Baird’s children’s message used the names of candy to make her point, such as “Nerds” and “Airheads.” You had to be there to appreciate it!

We are trying to get ready for Christmas with various projects in the works. Our youngsters and some “young at heart” adults are hard at work on our Christmas program. We have so much acting and musical talent in our church.

Sunday evening Robert Joyce presented a devotional using a piece of wood as an object lesson. To some, it was just a 2 by 4, but to a carpenter it had the potential of becoming a piece of beautiful furniture or even

the beginnings of a house. God, likewise, sees and develops our potential if we will only remain faithful and obedient.

We also enjoyed a time of fellowship and games and a hayride following the devotional. There was food and candy for everyone!

Joyce Downing scored a fantastic 56 points in one Scrabble play.

Congratulations to our award-winning band members, rodeo team members and even tractor pull champs. We do have a surprising amount of talent within our church as I mentioned before.

Speaking of talent, just a word of thanks and acknowledgement to our fine pianist and music director, Rene Rutherford and William Sims.

Mark your calendars and plan to join us for saul2paul’s visit on November 28. Guest speaker Laura Carter will also be with us.

Have a great week and we’ll see you in church next Sunday!

We are very thankful to those who helped “fill-in” while Jean and I are away. Brothers Larry McGarrity, Clint Monroe and Adam Leke were guest speakers for each Sunday. We plan on returning “home” before

the 5th of November. I will tell more about our trip to Vernal, Utah in next weeks newsletter.

We all have “good intentions”, but often we let other things hinder us from carrying them

through. On the night of our Lord’s betrayal, on the way to a little garden called Gethsemane, the Lord had a short conversation with an apostle concerning the odious things that were to happen so soon. Prophetically looking into the shame and suffering of the coming hours, Jesus startled him saying “all ye shall be offended because of me this night.” (Matthew 26:31) Whatever else may have been said of this apostle, he was a courageous man by accepted standards and valiantly loyal. If he loved any man on earth, he loved this wonderful Teacher. It is no wonder that he answered as he did: “Though all men be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.” (Matthew 26:33) The Teacher sadly replied, “Verily I say unto thee, that this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.” (Matthew 26:33) It was as if he had plunged a blade of cold Damascus steel deep into his breast for he knew he would never deny the Messiah. With feeling he assured the Master of his loyalty: “Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee.” (Mathew 26:35) HE HAD GOOD INTENTIONS!

What happened that night is now history. As always, every word of Jesus was fulfilled and this disciple whose heart had swelled with a tide of loyalty and who intended to walk even into the teeth of death with Jesus was jarred out of a nightmare by the sound of a cock crow and a glance from eyes that reflected things a man could not bear to look upon. (Luke 23:61) Then choking upon his own words, “Peter went out and wept bitterly.” HE HAD GOOD INTENTIONS!

He was like many “good” people today, who are filled with the desire and will to do good, to follow Jesus, to valiantly face and overcome every foe and stand at last at the Savior’s side. But in time, the plan goes away and “hearts that once beat high with praise now now feel that pulse no more.” Their devotion is like a flame that leaps brilliantly to dazzling heights only to flicker and die. THEY HAVE GOOD INTENTIONS!

The happy rewards of endless joy await only those who are able to finish the course: “Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.” (Revelation 2:10) So we say: do not lose heart, do not let your enthusiasm flicker low, do not lose the way, do not falter, do not fall, but be steadfast as you “intended” to be. “Let us lay aside every weight, and sin which doth so easily beset us and run with patience the race that is set before us.” Then as our friends dispose of the last pitiful remains of this life, let it not be said with a sad shake of head, “HE HAD GOOD INTENTIONS!

Dyer Church of Christ By Sabrina Sullivan

Morning worship services had an attendance 107 and 95 in Sunday school.

Ralph Gilmore was our speaker for the 5th Sunday and the message for the early morning service came from the book of Romans, The N-describable book of Romans. The Need, Nature and Nurture of the Gospel. Romans 2-3 is the Need of the Gospel for Jew and Gentiles alike. Romans 4-11 is the Nature of the Gospel, the justification and sanctification. Romans 12 “The Little Gospel” is the Nurture of the Gospel. The later morning service came from the book of Luke 14:25-33, Committing it all to God. Burning your ships and building a relationship with Jesus.

We had a meal after worship services Sunday morning and an early worship service for the evening worship in the afternoon.

Remember in Prayer: Mike Sircher, Jerry Martin, Damon and Susan Campbell, Dan Abbott, all of our sick,

shut-ins and those in the nursing home.

We had many trunks for Trunk or Treat Saturday evening and saw many interesting costumes and characters. Thanks to everyone that participated and made this a safe and great time for the children.

Thanks to everyone that made our 5th Sunday a success. I know a lot of work went into decorating and planning for this event. Thanks to Ralph Gilmore for giving us a soul searching message Sunday.

Announcements: There will be a county wide youth devotional November the 14th after services Sunday night. All youth are invited to attend. If you need more information about your church attending please contact Bobby Sullivan.

Homecoming will be November 28th with guest speaker Steve Watson. If you get a chance please be sure and send Steve a card to welcome him. His address is posted in the foyer.

Rutherford 1st Baptist By Katheryn Blankenship

The morning service was different from our usual preaching service. We observed the reformation Sunday, by hearing several scripture readings, Brother Jason explaining five points; scripture alone, faith alone, grace alone, Christ alone, and Glory to God alone in closing we observed the Lord’s supper.

The harvest Festival was a hit, with different groups displaying posters of missions they had been a part of this past year, games for the kids, food for all, Larry Belew had been cooking stew all day! Hay rides for young and not so young. I look forward to next year’s celebration.

Several men brought cakes for the cake bake off. I don’t know who all placed without leaving someone out, but I do thank all men who took part in this.

Several of us will leave Thursday morning for

Golden Agers By Doris Holt

The Golden Agers met on October 27 with 20 present. Our Vice President Jane Forsythe opened with prayer then we enjoyed delicious food.

Kenneth McEwen led our singing with Alice Ernest playing our songs were: “There is a Fountain” and “Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus.” Kenneth did our special, “in The Garden.”

Our sick, some having surgery, tests, and other health problems are: Lori Carter, Chandler Abbott, Hilda Patterson, J.B. Freeze, Faye Blake, Tyree and Katie White, Aden Webb, Billy and Evelyn Bogle, Curtis Mann, John and Kay Fields, and Faye Edwards, Brother Jerry Legg did prayer for all the sick.

Brother Dewayne devotional was from Matthew 24 Responsibilities by god on How to Live.

Don’t be mislead nation will rise against nation and we’ll hear of wars, earthquakes and many disasters. We can see signs are clear for Christ return, Titus 2 verse 2.

Our duty is to teach our older men and women and like wise we are to teach the younger ones so they will be pleasing to God.

Church families we should have sound doctrine, temperance, and sound in our faith. Keep firm with love and perseverance, as we are to live and stay rooted in the word of God.

Our dismissal prayer was given by Brother Dewayne.

Keely Mill By Diane Hamlin

Sunday was 5th Sunday Youth Services at Keely Mill.

Brett McDonald led us in our opening hymn “In Times Like These.”

We all dismissed to our Sunday school classes where all the youth did great jobs teaching everyone.

Andrea Hundley taught the youth class, Felichia Fields taught Children’s Church, Lindsey Allmon taught the nursery.

Keith Hamlin opened the adult class in prayer.

Dakota Warren did a great job teaching our lesson “Being Pure” from Ephesians 5:1-14. Believers reflect God’s holy nature by living in morally upright ways. Diane Hamlin closed class in prayer.

Bro. Steve was ministering to those in the Dyer Nursing Home and was back in the time for the worship hour. Our Sunday morning worship began with Elaine Fields playing the piano and Brett McDonald leading the youth choir in the hymn “Jesus Loves Me.”

Dakota Warren opened

services in prayer. Bro. Steve welcomed

everyone and told of a great time he had at the Dyer Nursing Home and of several special prayer requests that he brought back with him. We had our time of meet and greet with our church family and visitors.

Everyone stood and sang “When the Roll is Called up Yonder.”

Bro. Steve’s morning message was from Exodus 20:12 entitled “Honor thy father and thy Mother.”We all rejoiced as our worship hour ended with Carrie Duncan giving her life to the Lord and joining the church.

William McDonald dismissed services in prayer.

Our Sunday night services began with Scott Fields leading us in the hymn “Have Thine Own Way, Lord!” Bro. John Fields opened us in prayer.

Mike Fields opened our discipleship class in prayer before doing a great job teaching us our lesson “The Lordship of Jesus” from

Romans 10:10. With the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses, resulting in salvation.

Keith Hamlin closed in prayer.

Our Sunday night worship services began with the hymn “Praise Him! Praise Him!” We had a house full as we all rejoiced in the baptism of Carrie Duncan. Bro. Steve opened us in prayer.

Tonya Fields gave a short testimony as we began a joyful time of 5th Sunday night praise, worship, song and testimony throughout the Church. Mike Fields dismissed services in prayer.

We rejoiced and welcomed Laura Hawks as she rededicated her life to the Lord and joined the church.

Read your Bibles this week and stay focused on the Lord.

We thank the Lord for all the visitors we had Sunday and invite you and your family to come worship the Lord with us Sunday at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. or visit us at keelymillbaptistchurch.com and facebook.

Moses was assigned by God tog o to Pharaoh (Exodus 3:9) Moses questions God’s decision, when you’re ready please read Exodus 4:1-4.

Moses has no faith in the people. He believe that they will believe that God has spoken to him, another ordinary man.

Anything they say isn’t valid reasoning. Moses gives them influence as he places his faith in their faith. Moses gives them his portion of power as he places his faith in their words and doubts. The opinions of another person for even a large group of people is never sound reasoning to avoid God’s command. What would God say to Moses?

What’s in your hand? Moses answered, “A rod.” God didn’t give any merit tot he excuse Moses set before the Lord. This reminds me of Genesis 3. God didn’t give any credibility to one blaming another (Genesis 3). Blame is the avoidance of responsibility and repentance. If God is on our side, by our obedience toward Him, then He also holds that which is in our hand. What was the question God asked Moses?

In the context of this story, God is saying is saying to Moses, “you can do this because you won’t be doing it at all. It will only look that way.”

God actually says, “Take it by the tail.” First it was a rod in Moses’ hand. Then it’s a snake on the

Clora’s Chapel By Robin McNeil

Pastor Myles and First Lady Myles would like to thank everyone and the Cloras Chapel Family for a wonderful 22nd anniversary.

On Saturday the youth of Cloras Chapel had a Fall Festival for Halloween at the church. They had a weiner roast, hay ride, games, and candy galore. They enjoyed themselves to the highest. The adults enjoyed themselves too. We thank Sister Shinnell Ivie and others for putting this great event together.

On Sunday, the New Hopewell Presbytery had fifth Sunday Union, which was held at Milan Cumberland Presbyterian Church in America in Milan.

The morning message was delivered by Pastor Al Seward from Badgett Chapel CPCA in Rutherford. His subject was “We Need to Look at Inreach as well

as Outreach.” It was very uplifting and informative. Good job Pastor Seward!

After morning worship in Milan, many attended the funeral of Alfred Wayne O’Daniel which was held at Badgett Chapel in Rutherford. He is Sister Mai Bell and Brother Alfred O’Daniel’s son. The homegoing was very spiritual. There were a lot of Cloras Chapel members there and he was our first lady, Sister Diane Myles, second cousin. Sympathy goes out to the entire family.

This week’s events at Cloras Chapel will begin on Saturday. There will be choir practice for the sanctuary choir at 11 a.m.

The Missionary Society along with Pastor Myles will worship with the Dyer Nursing Home at 2 p.m. We will sing songs of Zion and Pastor Myles will deliver a sermonette of encouraging

words to the nursing home patients. Everyone is invited to go along.

On Sunday, the Sanctuary Choir will journey to Badgett Chapel CPCA in Rutherford to celebrate their annual choir Day. We say to Badgett Chapel’s Choir, “Happy Anniversary and “Congratulations!”

On November 13th, a Saturday night, Cloras Chapel will sponsor a live performance of the Devil’s Funeral. The play will be held at the Parkway Middle School near Muse Park in Jackson. Admission is adults $5 and children 12 and under $2.50. Concessions will be sold and everyone is cordially invited to come. Pastor Roscoe Myles and Sister Teresa Cawthon are the sponsors.

Cloras Chapel CPCA say to all, enjoy your week and no matter what you go through, still have and keep the joy of the Lord!

ground. Moses must know that he’s heard the voice of God above all. Moses is in God’s college: The course is trusting the voice of God. This course began when Moses spent lots of time alone with God (Exodus 3:11). God has good plans for good and not for harm. If Moses trusts God now, he will take it by the tail and Moses would pass this test.

What’s scaring us today? Future? We can ask God in faith to give us a clear instruction (Kames 1:5-6). Then we can obey without doubt, and without fear of the future nor the words of people. When Moses took it by the tail, the thing that could have destroyed him, was rendered harmless. For this test of trust, Moses passed.

BY LORI CATHEYThe Gibson County

Pioneers had a tough 2010 season. It was plagued with injuries and the loss of senior running back Duarlas Armstrong before the first game of his senior year. On Friday, the Pioneers played their last game of the season taking on their rivals Trenton Peabody. This would be the final game played at Freed Field due to Trenton building a new complex. As Gibson County’s kicker Micheal Keels opening kickoff spun downfield to the 9-yard line, Peabody’s Kevin Ellison return the kickoff for a 91 -yard touchdown. The extra point was good and Trenton had a 7-0 lead.

With 11:34 left in the second quarter Trenton scored on a 25-yard pass to Jerry Rogers. The Peabody extra point was successful, giving Trenton 14-0 lead. Gibson County’s offense moved the ball 63-yards in nine plays. The drive started with running back Michael Keel rushing for 6-yards for a first down. Keeping the ball on the ground, pioneer Roderick Barnett picked up another first down with a 11-yard run. Gibson County was facing a fourth down six when pioneer quarterback Lee Whitaker found Matt Littleton for a 45-yard reception at the 6-yard line. Trenton was called for a penalty moving the ball to the 3-yard line. Gibson County’s Whitaker scored on a 3-yard quarterback sneak, but the extra point was no good making it 14

-6 Trenton, with 6:51 left before half time. Peabody scored three more times before the half taking a 35-6 lead into the locker room at halftime.

Trenton added a touchdown in each of

the remaining quarters to win 49-6 in the final game played at Freed Field.

“Our program may not have any wins in 2010 but it is not because of a lack of will, character, or effort on the part of the players. The

boys on the team certainly worked hard throughout and gave 100% in every game,” said Gibson County head coach Lee Atkins.

“The administration provided 100% support for the Pioneers and our QB

Club worked hard to raise money for meals and other expenses.”

Gibson County had 194 total yards. The Pioneers rushed 42 times for 113 yards, and senior QB Lee Whitaker completed two-

of-six passes for 81 yards. Leading Gibson County was Michael Keel with 17 carries for 71 yards, Matt Littleton with a 45-yard reception and Lee Whitaker with a touchdown.

“The only thing for us to do is to look forward to 2011 and work hard to get ready for our first game in August” said Atkins. “I pledge to continue on the road we began together last Spring to turn this football program around. We have the staff and core athletes on the team to serve as the building blocks for the future.“

“Hopefully, we can nurture these young athletes, providing a disciplined environment to mold them into a successful team both on and off the gridiron. Our ultimate goal is to give them educational opportunities outside of the classroom that teaches them life lessons they can use as citizens, fathers, husbands and community leaders. I told the team after the game: ‘You are a family.’ The players will look back on the season in years to come and remember the struggle, the hard work in the heat of August, the agony of loss, the pain of the game and never regret their personal sacrifices. For four years, they gave everything they had to be a part of something bigger than themselves... a true band of brothers. It has been my honor and privilege to coach these young men in the 2010 campaign. We look forward to the 2011 season!”

Marching Pioneers win first place at Arkansas Open

“Give us an hour and we can help change your life!”

www.wtnhearing.com

The Gibson County Marching Pioneers were very impressive this past weekend at the Arkansas Open held at Arkansas State University.

In Class AAA, they were named 1st place band, 1st place Percussion, 2nd place Color Guard and 3rd place Drum Majors. They

also recieved Superior ratings in Band, Drum Major, Percussion and Color Guard. Overall, the band placed

6th out of 24 bands. GCHS directors, students, parents and fans were also very proud to see the ASU band in exhibition and show their support for

current ASU band member and GCHS Alumnus, Adonias Finch. The Marching

Pioneers will complete their season this weekend at the Tennessee Divison II State Band Championships held at Independence High School in Thompson’s Station, TN.

MARCHING PIONEERS PERFORM - GCHS Marching Pioneer band members Ryan Rahm, Mary Beth Chandler, and Faye Fisk perform during the Arkansas Open where they won first place in Class AAA and several other awards.

FIND AND SEEK AT FIRST BAPTIST - Dyer First Baptist had an evening of fun for the area youth Saturday night. Party jumpers, games and lots of candy were free for all to enjoy. TJ. Gammons, Jacob London, and Christian Needham painted faces for the children including Wesley Miller (photo above). Ashley and Aspen Starkey (lower photo) were among the many famlies who enjoyed the event.

HALLOWEEN FUN - Many children dressed in a wide variety of costumes enjoyed the Annual Trunk or Treat held at Dyer Park. Not only did the children receive candy, but they got to get up close to many emergency and utility vehicles. Among the children enjoying the event were Laken and Ace Fisher as Jesse and Buzz , Colten Higdon as Woody (all from Toy Story), Aaron Denbow as Ironman, Braden Ciaramitaro as a zombie prisoner, Olivia Moore as Dorothy and Ava Tucker as a ballerina.
