The Carroll County Com-mission will consider four resolution when it meets on Monday, September 10 at 7:00 p.m. at the County Office Complex.

A grant of $3,000 from Le Bonheur Health and Well Being Service was received for use by the Carroll County Agriculture Extension to im-prove access to intervention and prevention services for children, youth and chronic diseases. The commission will vote on the necessary budgetary transfer to receive those funds.

The county will apply for an Air por t Improvement Grant from the Department of Transportation Aeronau-tics Division to construct a new hangar. The antici-pated cost of the project is $300,000 with the state paying 90 percent and Tommy Swor, airport manager, paying the local match in exchange for rent-free use of the hangar for 20 years. After that peri-od, full control of the hangar reverts to the county.

Mrs. Jean Fields has pro-vided a grant of $8,206.42 for use by emergency responders to help citizens during disas-ters. The county will vote to accept the funds and budget-ary according to her wishes.

Coco Loop is expected to be removed from the coun-ty’s maintenance list. Road Supervisor Ricky Scott has recommended the removal of the short road. It is bounded by property owned by Mike and Mark Cary and is lo-cated off State Route 114 in Westport. No houses are on the road.

Commission Convenes September 10

As a member of any Rotary club, Rotarians share in the efforts and successes of the Rotary Foundation, a program that provides hope and support to millions internationally.

For mer District Gover nor Glen Vanderford of Jackson spoke to McKenzie Rotary Club about the importance of the Rotary Foundation and the local club’s participation in donat-ing to the trust fund. Last year, Rotary Clubs and individuals and corporations donated $207.5 million to the fund in 2010-11.

The mission of the Rotary Foundation is to enable Rotar-ians to advance world under-standing, goodwill and peace through the improvement of health, the support of educa-tion and the alleviation of

poverty. Investments in Rotary Foundation brings help and hope to those who need it most around the world.

Vanderford said the fund has had a major effect on the efforts to eliminate polio worldwide. Except for a few cases in third-world countries, the dreaded disease is all but eliminated. The fund also provides funding for health, hunger and humani-tarians efforts worldwide.

Rotary Foundation also pro-vides ambassadorial scholar-ships, group study exchanges for business people, and sup-ports grants in the local Rotary district. McKenzie Rotary has participated in local grants with the Rotary Trail along Uni-versity Drive, which provided rest areas along the sidewalks.

Rotarians Hear About International Foundation

HUNTINGDON—The North-west Tennessee Workforce Board held the annual meet-ing on August 14, presenting awards for outstanding accom-plishments and service to par-ticipants, employers, training programs and partners. Kim Huss, administrative assistant at the Tennessee Career Center at Huntingdon, was recognized as the Outstanding Partner Staff Member of the Year.

Kim received many posi-tive comments about how she handles her duties in work-ing for the Tennessee Depart-ment of Labor and Workforce Development. Like many of the Career Center employees, Kim wears many hats, but it is her “tireless work habits” and the “dedicated service” she provides to Career Center partners that makes her stand out in her job. She is described as an excellent multi-tasker answering a seemingly end-less stream of phone calls, assisting job seekers in the re-source room, and helping with resume writing, job search and unemployment questions. Al-though the Huntingdon Career Center does not process un-employment claims, Kim has taken the time to help count-less individuals file for their unemployment. Kim is known in the community as the “un-employment troubleshooter” that is willing to help anyone at anytime resolve issues no matter how big or small.

Ginger Powell, WIA Re-gional Director for Workforce

Development, praises Kim and her work habits. “Kim is amazing. She comes to work every day with a smile on her face and a super can-do at-titude. In addition to going above and beyond her regular duties, she is always avail-able to assist partners with their needs. One example that comes to mind is the help she provided my staff in follow-ing up with graduates of the Jobs for Tennessee Graduates (JTG) program. We were work-ing to do follow up on the 2011 graduates, but were unable to reach many of them because of disconnected phones and re-turned mail. We provided Kim with the names and birthdates of the students we needed to track and she checked the Em-ployment Services side of our electronic tracking system for wage information. Because of the JTG students she identi-fied as working, LWIA12 was able to help the State secure national recognition as meet-ing 5 of the 5 JTG goals for excellent performance!”

Lisa Bradford, Career Cen-ter Coordinator in Hunting-don, echoes the praises for Kim. “Kim is the organizer and team builder in our Career Center. She pulls together a celebration each month to hon-or staff members’ birthdays and coordinates retirement parties and other thoughtful celebrations. She is polite, car-ing, thoughtful, generous, gra-cious, self-driven, motivated, respectful, and so much more!”

HUNTINGDON—The North-we s t Te n n e s s e e Wo rk fo rc e Board recognized outstanding participants during the annual meeting on Tuesday, August 14. Lisa Ellis was awarded the 2011-12 Outstanding Participant of the Year for Carroll County.

Throughout her life, McK-enzie resident Lisa Ellis want-ed to be a nurse. She started classes to become a registered nurse in 1999 at Jackson State Community College as a non-traditional student with young children. Due to family difficul-ties, she had to withdraw after three semesters. She worked as a waitress and also cleaned houses while taking care of her parents and children, but she held on to her dream of going to nursing school.

In 2010, Lisa again entered into the JSCC RN program with travel assistance from Work-force Investment Act funds. Even though it wasn’t easy, and she had to overcome many obstacles, Lisa graduated in De-cember 2011 and passed her li-censure exam in February 2012.

Lisa started in February 2012 as an RN with Jackson-Madison County General Hospital. She thanked Judy Vestal, WIA Ca-reer Advisor for her assistance. “If it wasn’t for Judy’s commit-ment to me and the financial support I received from WIA, I

would not be an RN today!”The Tennessee Career Center

is Where People and Jobs Con-nect. Jobseekers can qualify for federally funded training programs. For more informa-tion contact Judy Vestal at the Tennessee Career Center at Huntingdon, (731) 986-8217 or vestal@nwtnworks.org.
