FAIR OPENING CEREMONY – Among those attending the opening ceremonies for 157th Gibson County Fair were William Lowery-fair board president, Fairest of the Fair queen Kaitlyn Taylor, fair board members Laura Speer, and William G. McFarland, State Representative Curtis Halford and Gibson County Mayor Tom Witherspoon.

Dyer Boy Scouts hold open house

BY CINDY EASTEmily Oliver, a licensed cosmetologist, has opened a

new salon, Love at First Cut. The salon is located on the 45 By-Pass off Orr Road in Dyer on the north side of Joe and Deana’s Bypass Café.

The shop was a labor of love, built by her father Ricky Oliver. He is a building contractor but had never built a portable building before. Ricky and mom Deana wanted to surprise her with the new shop. He originally told her he was building it for a customer. But as the time of completion drew nearer, the word got out that the building was a salon for Emily. Oliver not only built the structure, he also built custom cabinets and workstations.

The shop includes a separate room for relaxing facials, a small kitchenette and a handicapped accessible restroom. The shop was moved from the Oliver home to its new location. After electrical and plumbing hook-ups were completed, Emily officially opened for business on August 15th.

A ribbon cutting and open house with the Greater Gibson County Chamber of Commerce was held Monday, August 27th.

Oliver graduated from Gibson County High School in 2010 and from Arnold’s Beauty School in October of 2011. She worked at Shear Style Salon and Personal Touch before opening her own salon.

Oliver said business has been very prosperous so far. She sells salon products, offers cuts for men, women and children, color, highlights and low lights, perms, permanent straighteners, facial waxing, facials, and event hair and makeup for weddings, proms and pageants.

Love at First Cut is open Monday through Saturday. Hours are Monday 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday 9 a.m.-until late, and Friday 8 a.m.-5 p.m.,and Saturday 10

a.m. until 3 p.m. The phone number is 487-5301.“I am so thankful for the support of my family and

friends,” said Oliver. “I’ve been out of high school only two years and I own my business. I love it. I feel pretty good!”

Oliver still works at the family restaurant on Sundays as a cook and waitress from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m.

BY STEVE SHORTThe number of voting

precincts in Gibson County has declined from 40 voting places to the current number of 28 sites following closures and consolidations of precincts over the years.

Some of the old precincts no longer in operation include Concord, Fairview, Gann, Hickory Grove, Idlewild, Lonoke, Neboville, Poplar Grove, South Gibson and Spring Hill.

Molly Bailey, the Gibson Co. Administrator of Elections said old precinct numbers are still being used because of tradition and familiarity for election workers. The Rutherford Fire Station poll, for example, is still designated as Precinct Number 40 Rutherford, even though there are only 28 total

During the regularly scheduled meeting of the Rutherford City Board this past August 20, city water and sewer operator, Eddie Watkins reported to the city council concerning water and wastewater pumped during the month of July. There were quotes and recommendations from King Engineering to be reviewed for the water lines behind City Hall.

Alderman Don Greer stated that other plans and quotes need to be put together. Alderman Bob White shared his thoughts on what needed to be done. Watkins advised that they would do more digging in the following week to find the line supplying the water and report back to the mayor.

Watkins also reported on the status of the city water well number three. A quote and recommendation was given by Campbell Well Drilling, however due to additional repairs found since, the price would be increasing. After well number three is repaired, Campbell will check well number one and well number two and advise if any repairs are needed with the quote.

In the street department report, Watkins reported on the status of the Callis Street ditch. Concrete work was scheduled to begin on Tuesday, August 21.

Mayor Keith Cardwell allowed Grayson Whitworth from Boy Scout Troop 243 to speak. Grayson stated he had an Eagle Scout project where he would paint all the fire hydrants if the board would supply the paint. He will work with Fire Chief Bob Blankenship

Area property owners are being alerted about a mail solicitation that encourages individuals to obtain a copy of their deed for a rather large processing fee.

“This has been happening all across the state, not just here,” Gibson County Register of Deeds Hilda Patterson said.

She has received calls from property owners saying they had received a letter and are wondering why they have to pay $89 to get a copy of their deed. “We charge 25-cents a page for uncertified and $1 per page for certified copies,” Patterson said.

The solicitation comes from Local Records Office, 533 Church Street, #142, Nashville, TN 37219 and asks for a service fee of $89 to be sent in. Patterson got a copy of one of the letters and called the Nashville office. “I

LOVE AT FIRST CUT - Emily Oliver is the proud owner of an all new salon, Love at First Cut. The salon is located next to Joe & Deana’s Bypass Cafe’ in Dyer.

BY MICHAEL ENOCHSOn Sunday, August 26,

the Greater Gibson County Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting ceremony at the Boy Scout Troop 243’s new ‘Scout House’located on the corner across the street from the Dyer First United Methodist Church. The ‘‘Scout House’’ is the new permanent home for Troop 243, marking the end of several moves by the troop over the span of the last 29 years.

In one sense, Troop 243 has ended up where they started. When the Boy Scout troop was started, there was an old building on the present property where the new building is now. It was called the old banana building because, years ago, bananas were stored there as they were loaded off the trains that used to make daily stops in Dyer. Troop 243 had their meetings there.

According to Ken Pullias, the troop has made several moves over the years, including meeting in the old Dyer Theater building up until it came tumbling down a few years ago right after a storm.

The Tri-City Reporter will be closed Monday, September 3, 2012 for Labor Day. Have a safe and happy holiday weekend!

BY CINDY EASTThe 157th Gibson County Fair, ‘A Red, White

and Blue Ribbon Af-Fair,’ opened Monday, August 27 at the fairgrounds. The opening ceremony was held at 6 p.m. on the main stage and began with an opening prayer by County Commissioner Jim Overall.

This year the fair honored Gibson County veterans. The Trenton National Guard presented the colors while the National Anthem was played by the Mid-South Navy Band.

Fair board member Laura Speer recognized two of the county’s Century Farms. After a brief history was given on both farms, the current owners of the Alvin Smith Farm and the Walker-Freeman-Bell Farm were presented plaques.

The guest speaker for opening ceremony was Lt. General John Castellaw, USMC, retired. Castellaw served 36 years in the Marines, retiring in 2008 and moving back home to Crockett County. He said West Tennessee is known for honoring famous war heroes because many counties and

towns are named after them. Castellaw served in many high-ranking areas

of the military including the Pentagon. He was commander of the 4th Aircraft Wings and once hosted the President of the United States during one of his camp visits.

Castellaw said, “Only one half of one percent of the 300 plus million American have gone to war for the rest of us. And 17-percent of that population lives in rural areas. The military has over 40-percent from that 17 percent making up our great military. They want to come back here but many can’t because of the economic condition. We need to have jobs for them to come back to as they’ve carried the burden for us. Great nations take care of those who serve them and it’s our responsibility to take care of them.”

Fair board president William Lowery made a few remarks. He brought attention to the 2011 Tennessee Association of State Fairs trophy that the GC Fair won back in January. It is the second

Trenton, TN

855-9584Social Security Disability

Bankruptcy

We’ve got another three-day weekend coming up, and it presents a great opportunity to give our kids a civics lesson, and perhaps reacquaint ourselves with one we learned years ago.

It is an unusual holiday, honoring not some dead hero from the long ago American past, but real live heroes of today, the men and women who work for a living and pay the taxes that provide the money the rest of the country lives off.

It’s Labor Day, a day set aside nearly 120 years ago to honor the social and economic contributions ordinary American workers have made, and still make, every day, to the growth, health and prosperity of our country.

It is far more than just one of the bookends of summer, the last chance to go swimming or to cook burgers on the grill before autumn sets in; it is a day to acknowledge the people who built this country into the mightiest nation on earth, the people who built the goods and provided the services that produced the wealth that paid the taxes that made this preeminence possible.

People who work.If you get any sort of

check from the government at all, whether in the form of a salary, Social Security or any other kind of benefit or pension, that money didn’t come from the government. Washington or Nashville just acted as a conduit. The

government took the money it gives out from people who earned it one way or another, by working.

Not that I’m putting down people who don’t work, for whatever reason. I’m just saying we should honor and appreciate those who do, and Labor Day gives us a perfect opportunity to do so.

Our nation has always had mixed emotions about the people who pay the bills. Back in the late 19th Century there was an enormous amount of strife over the labor movement, as it has come to be called. In the 1880’s the laws were not nearly so friendly to workers as they are today. Children often worked long hours in factories, mines

and all sorts of other places where children shouldn’t be at all. Men and women routinely worked 12 hour days, often longer, and that’s just the way many people thought things should stay.

The idea that workers should have the right to band together and collectively bargain with their employers was generally opposed, and even outlawed, in many places.

But it was in that decade that the idea for a national Labor Day began. At first only local municipalities and a very few states embraced the idea. In spite of repeated requests that a national Labor Day be proclaimed, Congress steadfastly refused to consider doing so.

But then in 1893, something happened that changed labor relations and the nation’s views as to the rights of working people in America forever. The famous Pullman Company, maker of Pullman sleeping cars for railroads, became a victim of the nationwide economic depression spreading across the country.

The town of Pullman, just outside of Chicago, was owned by the company, and it was a true company town. The company owned it, lock, stock and barrel. They owned all the houses and apartments in town where the workers lived; they

owned the stores where the workers shopped and the bank where they cashed their checks.

When the depression hit, the company laid off hundreds of workers and slashed the wages of those who remained. They did not, however, reduce the rents workers paid or the prices in the company stores.

Finally, after much complaining and clamoring for higher wages or lower rents, to no avail, the workers walked out, and beyond the factory town, railroad workers all across the country, some 125,000 of them, began refusing to service or switch trains pulling Pullman sleeping cars. Before long violence cropped up, and rioting, pillaging and burning of railroad cars soon ensued as mobs of non-union workers also joined the fray. The railroads’ losses approached 100 million dollars in today’s prices, ultimately rising to 120 million before the upheaval ended.

The strike became a national issue almost at once, and President Grover Cleveland, generally considered a foe of labor, bowing to pressure from railroad officials who complained, officially at least, of interrupted mail trains, declared the strike illegal and sent in troops

to break it. These troops, along with various law enforcement officers, totaling more than 14,000 altogether, did so, shooting and killing at least 12 men in the process. Working men all across the nation were enraged.

Realizing the dangerous mood of the country, Congress, even before the strike had ended, rushed a bipartisan bill through both the Senate and the House authorizing a national Labor Day holiday. President Cleveland, with an eye toward appeasement and reelection, then seized the chance to sign it, only six days after the strike was broken.

Of course, over the years, the bitterness and strife of the early days of the labor movement have softened, and the once controversial holiday has evolved into a sort of “last fling of summer” occasion.

That’s a shame, because it should be much more than that. We really do owe an immeasurable debt to the men and women who work hard and pay the taxes that allow so many to not work at all. So if you see someone working this weekend, paying the country’s bills with their taxes in the process, tell them “thank you.”

It’s the least we can do.

Gibson County investigators have made an arrest in connection with the burglary of a barn located on Tyson Store Mason Hall Road north of Yorkville.

Hog feeders were reported missing on three separate occasions. The feeders were valued at over $5,000.

As a result of the investigation, officers have charged James Lawrence Ferguson, age 25, of 82

Rose Drive, Dyersburg with three counts of burglary and three counts of theft of property over $1,000.

Ferguson is currently held in the Correctional Complex under $60,000 bond. A preliminary hearing is set for August 28th in Gibson Country General Sessions Court at Trenton.

They have used a part of the old chain saw factory to meet and store their equipment trailer before as well as using the old agriculture building behind the junior high school and a few other locations.

Ken Pullias stated, “In one’s mind, when you hear about Boy Scouts, you automatically think of campfires, camping, or helping an old lady across the road. That is a reputation that troops are proud to maintain. The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) is one of the largest youth organizations in the United States. Its membership is approximately 2.7 million and over 1 million adult volunteers. BSA was founded in 1910 by Lord Baden-Powell. His goal was to train youth in responsible citizenship, character development and self-reliance. Scouts have participated in a wide range of outdoor activities and educational programs. Since its founding, more than 110 million Americans have been members of the BSA.”

“In Dyer, Boy Scout Troop 243 takes their scouting pretty seriously. As an example they have had more than 28 scouts to obtain the rank of Eagle Scout. For the last two years, Troop 243, along with numerous volunteers has worked consistently on their new Scout House.

Pullias continued, “Dyer First United Methodist Church offered a small piece of land located on the side of the church. When members of the church, as well as the community, heard of the construction, people began to pull together to complete the “Scout House”. Donations ranged from money and materials to cabinets and labor. Some that have donated their time and expertise did not have a Scout in the troop. Farmers and Merchants Bank and Joel Reynolds

donated some paneling and custom cabinets that were located in the old Bank of Dyer building. The building was torn down to build a new Farmers and Merchants Bank. Instead of destroying the old teller stations that were custom designed, they were pulled out and placed in the “Scout House. Robert Whitley, a cabinetmaker, whose son is a member of Troop 243, volunteered to help remove and install the cabinets.

Pullias concluded, “The building is nearly complete. It has been under construction for nearly two years and we need about $500 to finish some interior work. The remarkable thing about the building is that it was all donated. The families of Troop 243, former Eagle Scouts, community members, businesses, and on occasion a non-scouting member pitched in to offer a hand. The building consists of four rooms. It has a large meeting room, bathroom, garage complete with roll up doors and an equipment room. Etched in the floor of the meeting room is the BSA logo completed by Brad Simons, who is an Eagle Scout, and his son Matt who is a member of Troop 243. In the past years the troop has held meetings in various places. Now they have a place called home. Thanks to all who have provided their time, talents and skills. So many have provided materials at coast or come by to help out. We are almost complete and thank everyone for your support on this project for Boy Scout Troop 243. This Thursday evening we are holding Scouting Night at all the area schools to recruit new Cub Scouts. Scouting is part of the community effort and it is very satisfying to see our Scouts grow up and be productive members of our community.”

on regulations. Alderperson Sandy Comstock made a motion to allow Grayson Whitworth to proceed with his Eagle Scout project. The board approved the measure.

In the fire department report, Fire Chief Bob Blankenship stated the department had two meetings for the month of July and had two fire calls.

In the police department report, Police Chief Mike Hensley advised his department had 259 calls for July.

Under new business, Eddie Bell addressed the board concerning the damaged bleachers at the park. They would like to repair them, if possible. Paul Chamblis from TML advised on the liability to the town for bleachers not being up to standards. He advised calling the manufacture the bleachers were purchased from to get their recommendations on repairs and specs to ensure the right decision was made. Bell will call the company for details and report back.

The board reviewed the different quotes on new bleachers. White made a motion to purchase from Highland. Greer seconded the motion and the board

approved the measure.Alderman Dusty Emerson

suggested the town try to buy Pam Flowers’ lot by Pates

for a future mini park. After discussion, it was decided the mayor and Emerson would try to negotiate a

price with Matthew Denton on the property and report back to board.

RIBBON CUTTING - Attending the ribbon cutting and open house for Love at First Cut were (front row) State Rep. Curtis Halford, Mallory Richardson, Deana Oliver, Emily Oliver, Ricky Oliver, Barbara Dunivant, Angela Oliver, (second row) Leavenia Campbell, Joe Campbell, Talmadge Campbell, Peggy Peevyhouse, Rita Cole, Linda Conn, Cheryl Martin, Chamber Director Shelby Kee, (third row) Ken Pullias, Terry Jones, Joel Reynolds, DJ Stoddard, Alice Williams, Chris Rainey, Jason Griggs, Heather Harmon, Megan Sanford, and Maci Sanford.

told her I had a copy of a letter that is being sent out by them and asked her what I would be receiving for this $89 fee,” Patterson said. “Can’t I get this information from the local register’s office?” she asked. She was told, “Yes you can.” That was about the extent of the telephone conversation. “It seems like they are preying more on the elderly,” she said. She said one document she saw had the person’s name on it, but the property was not his. “We are not affiliated with this group in any way,” Patterson emphasized.

The official looking document identifies the property owners of an address by a recently recorded transferred title on the property. The document states Local Records Office

provides a property profile where the property owner can find the property address, owner’s name, comparable values and legal description or parcel identification number, property history, neighborhood demographics, public and private school report.

It goes on to state, records obtained through public information show a deed was recorded in your name on (date) which indicates your ownership and interest in the specified property below.

Patterson had a copy of a recent article appearing in the Cookeville Herald Citizen stating that Jay West, executive director of the County Officials Association of Tennessee, brought this matter to the attention of the Tennessee Department of

Consumer Affairs last month at the request of Randy Delap, president of the Tennessee Registers Association and Lincoln County Register of Deeds. Members of that association have been receiving reports from all over Tennessee noting solicitation by the Local Records Office, with the above Nashville address. A Google search indicates that the address given is that of a UPS store.

Although it is confusing to some, the solicitation piece specifically states that this is not a bill, but a solicitation and you are under no obligation to pay the amount stated.

“Just remember if you need a copy of a deed, come to the Register of Deeds office and obtain one at a much lower cost. Don’t be taken in,” Patterson warned.

NEW PERMANENT HOME - The Dyer Boy Scout Troop 243 hosted a ribbon cutting and open house Sunday, August 26. Scouts, supporters and

members of the Greater Gibson County Chamber of Commerce attend the celebration of the troop’s very own permanent Scout House.

Cloras Chapel By Robin McNeil

Greetings from the Cloras Chapel’s Family. We had a great week and weekend! God is still in the blessing business. We had a successful rib and bake sale Saturday at the church. We want to thank all who supported and especially Elder McNeil for doing the cooking. The ribs were great, just ask Elder Diane Myles.

We had five classes in Sunday school Sunday. Elder Bush McNeil had a Sunday school meeting on Friday night and had great participation. God’s people are on the battlefield and ready to fight and work for the Lord. Teachers were Elder Keith Harris, Minister Heather Myles, Minister Kim Jackson, Sister Peggy Bonds, and Sister Yolanda Bradford. We were all happy to have Sister Millicent Finch as our new secretary. They all did a beautiful job.

Rev. Jeremy Myles rocked the house Sunday morning with his message titled, ‘Wanted Dead or Alive.’ He had posters in the sanctuary with his picture like the old cowboy days. His daughter Nyla became frantic, she thought it was for real. The male chorus sang from their hearts and did a wonderful job! We are so proud of them. We had a delicious lunch and we thank the kitchen committee

for a job well done. Sunday afternoon was

awesome! Pleasant Hill Baptist Church from Lexington, was our special guests. Pastor Ivey Jamison brought the message titled ‘Stay on the Wall.’ He preached a dynamic message. The spirit was high all day and we just praised God for his goodness. The Praise Team had new t-shirts and they looked good. Pastor Myles was just beyond himself for such a great day in the Lord! Sister Irma Ivie and Brother Quan Fisher and his friends were our special visitors and also Sister Rhonda Newbill from Jackson. There were others and we were very glad to have them and welcome them back anytime.

Cloras Chapel is on the move. Monday night the sanctuary choir will travel to Jackson to be in revival with Mt. Tabor Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Rev. Rosemary Herron will be the evangelist for the week. Service will begin at 7 p.m.

Our sympathy goes out to the Doaks and Jackson families. We are in prayer for them in their time of sorrow. We say “Rest in Peace” Brother Gerald Doaks and Sister Naomi Jackson.

The Albea Family Reunion

will be held this weekend. All activities will be in Yorkville at the park. It will begin Saturday morning with breakfast at 9 and continue through Sunday. Family is important!

Revival at Cloras Chapel is near. It will begin the second Sunday in September and continue through Wednesday. All are invited!

Have a good week and be blessed!

Golden Agers By Alice Ernest

August 22, my birthday anniversary, was the meeting day of the 18 Golden Agers that assembled in the Family Life Center of Dyer FBC. And yes, I did get a “Happy birthday” song with cards, a gift, and lots of hugs. I do like all of the above. I just celebrate whenever the opportunity arises, and what an indescribable celebration at the Opera House Restaurant in Martin the next night August 23, then on to Collierville August 24 where grandchildren live, except David Brewer, who is in Jackson beginning his freshman year at Union. I celebrated separately with him, too.

And just when I really thought everything was settled, Lisa Kirk brought

me an exquisite, hand-made shawl and hat. She is hoping to open a shop for selling items of her creative work adjoining the police station later.

We did have a good meeting with Kenny McEwen and Anne Thompson leading the group in singing “Every Day with Jesus,” and “I’ll Fly Away,” and Kenny sang “He Touched Me,” as his solo. Bro. Legg asked me to lead in prayer for the family of Bobby Reid, and many for whom we still pray, including Barbara Watson,

Dot Oliver, Danny Morgan, Elvie Hendricks, and Caleigh Patterson, whose leg is now in a cast. Join the rest of us to pray for Phillip Hurley, who faces another deployment in a few days. We all rejoice for those who returned this week including Dyer FGC’s own Tyler Laster.

Pastor of Dyer FBC DeWayne Goodgine brought the morning’s devotional and he discussed the end time of life and selected verses from Revelation 20. After the

rapture for Christians, the rest of the world will be brought before the Great White Throne at which those not determined to be in the Book of Life will be eternally lost. Christians will be judged according to what they have done in service for Jesus according to II Corinthians 5, but they are eternally saved. To avoid the power, the purpose and the pronouncement at the Great White Throne, individuals need only to accept now in this life Christ’s off of forgiveness of their sins.

recently traveled to Iuka, Mississippi for a family reunion. While there she enjoyed stories that her great-grandmotherKay had told, including how her great-grandparents had moved to Gibson County in search of a better farmland where their family stayed. She also meta relative, Dr. Kitchen who has a practice in the Iuka area. The recentcooler weather made for a very nice trip.

There are many families in the county who recently welcomed home their servicemen and servicewomen as they have returned from serving our countryabroad. We welcome them home and extend a most sincere and hearty Thank you for your service! You all are American heroes!

Tim and Trevor Lamar of Millington were in Kenton on Sunday. They werevisiting with Ronnie Lamar who is home after a week’s stay in Vanderbilt Hospitalin Nashville.

Several friends and family members gathered at the home of Molly Lamar, daughter of Luke and

Cynthia Lamar last Saturday evening. The occasion for thespecial gathering was to celebrate Molly’s 10th birthday! The honoree and guests enjoyed eating a beautifully decorated Spongebob themed birthday cakeas well as cupcakes and ice-cream before showering Molly with many lovely cardsand gifts. Happy Birthday Molly.

Food for thought: It’s hard to express the joy I feel and the thankfulness inmy heart. To my God and my Lord for giving me a brand new start. He took my heart all black with sin and made it clean and new. And promised to walk eachday with me through all that I would do. His promise to me has been good as gold,He’s never failed me yet. I can never thank Him enough, nor will I forget.

Lowrance Chapel By Jerry Bell

Watch, Work, And BE Ready was the topic of our lesson on Sunday evening. We must learn to watch (Ezekiel 3:17), because one can easily take steps unto unfaithfulness and apostasy. (1 Corinthians 9:27). The devil is always lurking around seeking for a weakness in our Christian armor to tempt and destroy us! (1 Peter 5:8). This is why it’s imperative that you examine yourself to see if you’re in the faith. II Corinthians 13:5) You and I must continually work on being faithful and not to waiver. We need to daily make sure were keeping our relationship right with God. (Philippians 2:12) Are you focusing on watching, working, and preparing your life to face Jesus at judgment, or are you foolishly playing around with God and His commandments? Let us examine the parable (an earthly story with a heavenly meaning) of the 10 virgins, to answer this question for us. Please turn your Bibles to Matthew 25:1-13.

The Foolish Virgins Took Their Lamps, And Did Not Take Any Oil. Foolishness is characterized by lack of forethought and caution, lack of knowledge and understanding to discern, judge, and make decisions to your benefit. (Psalm 14:1) The unwise virgins did not think to prepare themselves properly to attend the wedding and when an emergency arose,

they were ill prepared and shut out of the wedding. (Matthew 25:3, 6-9) They simply did not prepare to go and buy oil for their lamps. The parable expresses what the Kingdom of God is like. We must be ready to meet the Lord at any time. We do not know when He will return. Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people. The 5 foolish virgins were not prepared, they had no oil. The 5 wise virgins were prepared in that they took enough oil, even when the bridegroom was late in coming. The bridegroom represents Jesus Christ. The 5 wise virgins knew they were going to a marriage feast and that it could be later than the time announced. The wise virgins were asked to give the foolish ones some of their oil. They did not because then they would run out of oil. The wise virgins also knew that they had to be prepared for the wedding and could not give it to those who were so unwise. All of the 10 virgins had opportunity to buy enough oil for their lamps but 5 chose to not be prepared and didn’t buy any oil.

Christian friend, if you’re not prepared to meet Jesus, it’s time to learn to number each day as if it were your last. (Psalm 90:12) If you’re a sinner, separated from God, you need to prepare yourself and obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, His death, burial, and resurrection.

Seizure & Epilepsy TreatmentsA seizure is caused by an abnormality of the

brain. Seizures may be classified as nonepileptic of epileptic. A nonepileptic seizure can occur as an isolated incident. However, if seizures are recurrent, they are then classified as epilepsy. A seizure may occur as the result of a fever, concussion, or meningitis, among many other potential causes. A seizure typically lasts from several seconds to minutes. While affected by a seizure, a person may present symptoms that range from staring to convulsions. Partial seizures are characterized by changes occurring in only one part of the brain, while generalized seizures occur when there are changes in both sides of the brain. Seizures occur differently depending on the person’s age.

There are many medications available for the treatment of epilepsy. The type of treatment prescribed depends on the type of seizures. Anticonvulsant medications, such as carbamazepine (Tegretol, Carbatril) and oxcarbazepine (Trileptal), may be prescribed. Phenytoin (Dilantin) is also an anticonvulsant that works to decrease the potential for seizures to occur. Primidone (Mysoline) is classified as an anticonvulsant which works to increase the seizure threshold and also to decrease the over-activity occurring within the brain.

“For I know the thoughts I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you an expected end.” (Jeremiah 29:11) “God knows every hair on my head and that’s an awful lot. He knows when one falls out or when I wash fifty of them down the drain. He knew my name before I was ever born. He knew every mistake I’d make and every ebb and flow of my life before He planted me in my mother’s womb. He knows you too. He has a purpose for yu and a purpose for me during our season on earth. This verse says there is an expected end. That means he has a plan and purpose for every single one of his children. That makes me wanna shout about Hallelujah, thank you Jesus. Lord you are worthy of all the glory, the entire honor, and all the praise!

He also had a plan for Samson. The scripture reference Brother Davidson used this Sunday was Judges 13:1-5. This story is about a man named Manoah whose wife was barren. But an angel of the Lord appeared unto the barren woman and told her not to take strong drink or eat any unclean thing because she was going to conceive. She was told in verse five that no razor would come upon his head because the child would be a Nazarite and that he would begin to deliver the children of Israel out of the hand of the Philistines. God very clearly laid out the purpose of this child before he ever planted it in the mother’s womb!

Now, way on down in verse 24, we are told that the child was born and named Samson and that the Lord blessed him as he grew. In verse 25, we are told that the spirit of the Lord began to move him “at times.” But a funny thing happens in the next chapter. Samson goes down to Timnath and sees a woman. Not just any woman but a Philistine woman. He goes back home to mom and dad and says, “I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now, therefore get her for me to wife.” Well, ain’t that something! He was put here on earth to begin to deliver the Israelites from the Philistines and here he wants to marry one! And any good Bible student knows how Samson met his end, and if you don’t, please read the book of Judges.

Is that what happens to us?

God sends us to earth with a specific purpose - a mandate from heaven. We go about our young lives learning one sin after another. By the time we reach our twenties, our sins have begun to become habits. By the time we’re twenty-five, our habits have become a way of life. By the time we’re thirty, we’ve allowed Satan to set up so many strongholds in our lives, we don’t even think about them anymore. We just build our lives around them. We say that cussword like it’s a blessing. We gossip on the phone and call it prayer request. We hide that money. We hoard that stuff. We tell that lie. We pick up yet another carton of cigarettes. We nag our husbands. We sit on our pity pots. We bury our talents. We knock the dust off our Bibles instead of reading them. We disregard God and his kingdom and follow the world as we build out little selfish lives. And all the while, God is sending someone else to do what He put us here on earth for. How sad that we miss it because of our own fleshly desires! We miss the mark because we wanted to hold onto that sin in our lives. We refuse to work hard and fight the good fight and get victory over whatever sin it may be and we lose. We miss out on the total fellowship with Him that He had planned for us because we want to keep our sin, and we settle for allowing the Spirit of the Lord to move upon us “at times” - just like Samson.

Will you continue in your sin this week while God hands your purpose off to another? Will you continue on that satanic path of procrastination yet one more week or will you propose in your heart that this is the week you’ll lay aside that sin that doth so easily beset you? How long will you let Satan have dominion and victory over you? How long will you let him laugh at you as he continues to rob you of all that is rightfully yours in the kingdom of Heaven?

I believe in the victory for you this week! If God can deliver me, He can deliver anybody. He loves you and He is waiting for you to lay it down and walk in agreement with Him. Put your heart into everything and see what God will do through you.

Come see us! 27 New Bethlehem Rd., Dyer. Sundays at 1 p.m. Wednesday at 7 p.m.

Rutherford 1st Baptist By Kathrine Blankenship

Those of you who have pets and treat them like a member of your family - you feed them, bath them, play with them; then the day comes when you know it is time to put them out of their misery, know how hard it is to give them up.

My dog, thirteen years old, was blind and deaf. I had to have him put down last Friday. I wasn’t as strong as I thought I was!

The Lord blessed us with a shower while we were in church Sunday.

There were a few out of my class Sunday. I hope to see them next Sunday.

The choir sang, “The Blood Bought Church,” for the special.

Bro. Marlon Stephens filled in for Bro. Jason for both services.

Bro. Jason and family are due back this week, after visiting with his family and friends.

Those having birthdays this week are: Julie Bogardus, Amanda Cunningham, Linda Landrum, Coy Landrum, and Clare Turner.

North Union By Sarah Allen

At the end of our service Bro. Chris Marks said we have just seen somthing very special. Our young people were here serving God this morning.

It was youth Sunday and the youth taught the SundaySchool Classes. Chelsea Joyce taught my class and she did a great job.

Opening before class Michael Moeller was in charge of welcome and concern and lead in prayer. Our pianist was Danielle Rickman and our song leader was Lexi Whitley. Our acolytes were Logan Rahm and Madison Baird.

Call to worship and invocation was by Cody Cooper who read from Jerimiah 29:11

Christian Marks was in charge of the Seniors Sermon as us old folks made our way to the front. She spoke of something she had learned at camp about Identity. I am changes who I am. In trying to find our identity we should turn to who made us. God is the only one who knows our identity. She read Psalms 199: 13-16 and closed in prayer.

Special music was by Ally and Libby Goad and they told the story of Jesus and how the whole world was about to change.

Robert Joyce brought

our message and he did a fantastic job bringing God’s word. The title of his message was “Being the Miracle” and his text was Romans 12:6. He said God has given us power to do great things. We can make a difference in another person’s life. America keeps looking for a change. He says there is no greater change than what God can do. Make people remember we are a God believing nation. We have God given gifts to use for his glory and purpose. He used scriptures Romans 12:2, John 3:17 and Matt: 28: 19,20 to present his four points: forgiving, prepared, willing to use talents and capabilities, ready to make a difference. Stand up for God. Want to see a miracle? Be a miracle.

Happy Birthday wishes were sung to Hailey Murray, Logan, Rahm, and Madison Baird. The nominating committee presented their choices and they were accepted.

Our sick folks are recovering. Bro. Don and Ms Connie were attending an ordination service for his brother to be a deacon. We miss you when you are away.

See you in church on Sunday.

Bethpage News By Joyce BrownSunday School for Shut-Ins By Mary King

Read Amos 5:9-10. This is a picture of chaos in the city. The people are inside a walled city with a bar that looks lie a railroad tie on the gates of this city. The wall is over 10 feet thick.

Houses are on the wall. There are towers and devices for defense spread out around the whole city.

Then beginning in verse 10, God draws a picture of a kind of courtroom. It’s His courtroom on the stage. As God did in Job chapter one, he became an Attorney, but this time he is not the defense attorney. God is the prosecuting attorney and judge. God takes up for the righteous, but he condemns those that haven’t heeded his warnings and his prophets.

They turn away from the one who instructs and corrects them in the gate. They hate people who are righteous. It’s simple to tell who they are. The gates of the city were a place of justice. When a person wanted to make his case known or get witnesses,

he would go to the gates of the city.

The classic boy meets girl story in the Bible in the book of Ruth: Boaz wants to marry Ruth but he must also do the right thing, by giving another man the first chance to marry her. Boaz didn’t want to give the man a chance, but it was the righteous thing to do, so Boaz does it. Now Boaz didn’t send a message or send someone to get that man and bring him to him. Boaz goes to the gate of the city. That way, no matter what happened, Boaz was in the right place with witnesses to make the decision binding by law. Why? They’d be at the gate, the courtroom of the day.

Boaz tells the other man that he must receive Naomi and take care of her. The man agrees as Boaz expected. Naomi is an upright Jewish woman that the other man would be happy to have in his home. But with the readiness of a prepared attorney, Boaz adds that the man will also have to take Ruth the Moabitess as his wife and give her children. A Moabite! The other man wouldn’t hear of such a thing. Just as Boaz expected. The other man said, “You marry that Moabitess!” (Ruth). Boaz married Ruth and they are ancestors of Jesus. (Luke 3)

Hello friends and neighbors. It was a good Sunday at Bethpage, but we sure were missing some big smiles. All three of the Griggs boys have been very sick and were not able to be at church. We are sending them big get well wishes.

Five of our children, Scarlett, Nick and Aleigha Duncan and Anna Claire and Will Griggs attended the “Meet Me in the City” at Dyer First Baptist last week. They represented Bethpage really well by carrying the school supplies that we had helped them collect for the ministry project. They also made donations to help build the new “Missionary House.”

Sunday worship began with Tina and Janice playing “Consider the Lilies” during quiet time and the call to worship was “This is the Day.” Bro James talked to the Preacher’s Pals about having Joy in the Lord. Offertory music was “Let’s Just Praise the Lord” Bro James’ sermon text was from Isa 60:18-22 and the title was “The Free in Freedom.” He preached Sunday night from Psa 119:105-113. His title was “The Free in Freewill,” Deep subject matter.

Sympathy is extended to

the family of Melba Sims Storey who passed away this weekend. I can tell you this: there is a new beautiful soprano voice in Heaven’s choir today. She could always sing the leaves off the trees. This sweet precious lady will surely be missed.

Ron and Dot Sellers’ son, Scott who is transferring to Texas came to Mason Hall and Gleason to visit his parents and grandmothers before moving later this week. Best wishes to him and his family.

Bethpage folks, be praying about what God would have you do to serve Him in the upcoming church year so that when the nominating committee contacts you about filling teaching positions or other places of service, you will prepared to give a positive response. Your phone will be ringing!

If you haven’t brought food pantry items yet, there is still time to stock the cupboards.

Thought for the week: We may have no control over the newspaper headlines or the world’s turmoil, but we can choose how we live our lives and let’s choose to live them by Christ’s example.

God bless and have a great week.

Tennessee public high school graduates improved their performance on the ACT test in 2012, earning an average score of 19.2 out of 36, up from 19.0 the year before, according to state-by-state results released by ACT today.

BY LORI CATHEYThe Gibson County

Pioneers lost on the road to Dresden in a nondistrict contest 41-7. Dresden was last year’s 2A state runner-up and is expected to return to the playoffs. The Lions scored touchdowns on their first two possessions to take a 14-0 lead with 5:45 left in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Pioneers offense started to move the ball getting a couple of first downs. After three plays Gibson County was looking at a forth and 6. Quarterback Markee Brown, with a lateral toss to running back Justice Conley, made a couple of great moves to

Gibson County kicker Jake Wylie kicked the extra point to make it 14 -7 Dresden with 10:22 left in the second quarter.

Dresden upped their lead to 28-7 at halftime. Dresden added a touchdown in each of the remaining quarters to win 41-7.

Gibson County Head Coach Morgan Cruce told his players, “We are a young team and we’re going to have some lumps, but we’ve got to do better.”

Leading Gibson County was Justice Conley with 15 carries for 77 yards with a touchdown. Markee Brown

had 3 rushes for 7 yards and completed 3 of 11 passes for 17 yards. Drew Scobey had a reception for 8 yards and Dustin Murdock had two reception for 9 yards. Drew Scobey had 7 punts averaging 42 yards per punt.

Defensive leaders were: Marcaous Bailey with seven tackles and one for a loss; Jake Siler had five tackles and Justice Conley recovered a fumble. Gibson County will meet Milan in district play at 7:30 Friday, August 31 at Gibson County. The Pioneer Football Quarterback Club is hosting a pre-game tailgating party at 6:00.

Tennessee students’ ACT scores show slight increaseTennessee is one of only

nine states to mandate that all high school students take the ACT test, so statewide scores help the Tennessee Department of Education measure the state’s progress towards its goal of greater college and career readiness for all students. The percentage test-takers meeting all of the ACT’s college readiness

benchmarks rose from 13 percent to 14 percent in Tennessee as scores increased in 2012.

“It’s going to take year after year of these incremental gains to see Tennessee students exhibiting the high levels of achievement we know they can reach,” said Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman. “Far too many students in our

state graduate without the knowledge they need for college or the job market. We are implementing education reforms designed to address these deficiencies and drive continuous improvement.” In Tennessee, 56 percent of graduates met ACT benchmarks in English, 26 percent in math, 39 percent in reading and 18 percent in science. This year’s scores highlight the necessity for Tennessee to increase college readiness among certain racial minorities. Only 3 percent of black students and 9 percent of Hispanic students met college benchmarks in all four core subjects, compared to 18 percent of white students and 31 percent of Asian students.

Under the leadership of Gov. Bill Haslam, Tennessee has prioritized establishing pathways to post-secondary education and careers. With the education department’s No Child Left Behind waiver, the state now measures schools’ overall achievement as well as their progress closing gaps between groups of students. Through curricula targeted at developing the skills needed for college and the workplace, the department strives to better prepare students and continue to improve Tennessee’s ACT results.
