READY TO RIDE – Randy Holloway, (seated) organizer of the 4th Annual Christian Endeavor Toy Ride, is ready to help spread a little Christmas cheer for underprivileged children in the Dyer area. The Toy Ride, scheduled for last week, had to be rescheduled for this Sunday, October 31st due to bad weather. The Gibson County Sheriff’s Department will provide an escort for the riders again this year. Sheriff Chuck Arnold (left) will also provide hamburgers and drinks to the riders at the conclusion of the ride. Bill Jones, (right) chairman of Christian Endeavor, said parents may register their children for the toys beginning November 2nd.

had to be canceled last week due to rain. It has been rescheduled for this Sunday, October 31st.

Randy Holloway organized The Christian Endeavor Toy Ride four years ago. This year cyclists will begin the Christian Endeavor Toy Ride at Toot-N-Tell It in Dyer with line up at 1:45 p.m. Each rider and passenger must bring a $10 toy (no stuffed animals please). At 2 p.m. the group will depart for a 45-minute to one hour ride escorted by the Gibson County Sheriff’s Department.

The ride will end at the Gibson County Sheriff’s office in Trenton. Sheriff Chuck Arnold and several deputies will provide the riders with hamburgers and drinks upon their return. The toys will be transported back to Dyer by vehicle.

BY MICHAEL ENOCHSThe towns in the tri-city

area are getting ready for the flap of bed-sheeted ghosts and the howls of little goblins in search of candy treats on Halloween.

In order to make sure there are more treats than tricks for the masquerading imps, the local towns and churches have organized various events to give kids a happy and safe evening of entertainment without the pranks and mischievous tricks sometimes associated with the celebration.

Dyer and Rutherford are both observing Halloween on October 30th rather than on the 31st because that will be on a Saturday night rather than on Sunday night with school following the next day. The curfew will be the usual time of 11p.m.

The annual Trunk or Treat will be held at the Dyer City Park from 5 to 8 p.m. with emergency vehicles and personnel from fire, police, rescue, EMS, utilities and

John Maughan is announcing his candidacy for Mayor of Kenton. He has served in the position for three years.

“I have enjoyed being mayor of Kenton during this term. We as a city have accomplished a lot despite being like every other small community during a recession. We have lost a factory to bankruptcy, and house prices are down leading to less tax revenue. Our debt was high because of some projects we took on during the previous administration, when times were good. The bridge, walking track, and the figure eight behind town with all those lights that was supposed to be a farmers’ market, were done with matching grants, which means the town still owes

BY MICHAEL ENOCHSAfter ten years of holding the post as city recorder

for the City of Rutherford, Joan Capps is readying for retirement. Her last official day as city recorder will be November 1, although she still plans on working in the office to help train and acclimate a new city recorder to the job. The new city recorder has not been named yet.

In her ten years on the job Capps has served under three mayors: Jeff Emerson, Kasey Harris, and presently under Keith Cardwell.

Looking back over the past ten years, Capps stated, “I feel that God led me to this job. I feel that God placed me here, partly because of what happened to my father, Meldon Capps. He had a stroke and was cared for by everyone in this town and in this office. If he forgot to pay his insurance bill, they would let me know so I could get it taken care of, or if he tried to pay a bill twice they would get him straightened out. The people of the town looked out for him and were a great help. I feel that I am here so that I can help others and give something back to the town, especially the older people. They need all the help they can get in these hard times and I am here to be a part of helping.”

Capps says she will take retirement one day at a time, but will still be busy with her activities at China Grove Baptist Church where she serves as treasurer. She thinks it will be tough on her little companion of three years, Katy the Bishon Frise. Katy has been coming to work with Capps since she was a puppy and is a real help with the stress of the office duties.

Capps said, “Katy will not know what in the world is going on when we quit coming to work every day. She is a true office dog and will be lost without a job. I know

Faye Sharp is a candidate for alderperson for the city of Kenton. She is a 43-year resident of town and is concerned with a variety of issues its citizens are facing.

“As most of you know, the city of Kenton is in decline. I have spoken to many of our citizens about a variety of issues. Their issues are my issues and also my concerns and they need to be dealt with,” said Sharp. “I will not promise you anything that I can’t do. Even if it is something that I really want to do, I will not promise that I will do it unless I know for a fact that I can.”

“I want to learn our

Council met in regular session on October 18, at city hall with several items on the agenda, foremost of which was a resolution 51; establishing guidelines for presentations at board meetings by citizens and visitors. As the Rutherford municipal code allows citizens and visitors to air grievances at board meetings, the board of mayor and alderpersons established written guidelines for the making of such grievances

Last year’s riders accumulated $550 worth of toys to brighten the Christmas season for some lucky boys and girls. Organizers are hoping to top that this year.

Holloway said, “We have some great door prizes this year for our riders. Nearly every business in Dyer has contributed something this year. We even have a cash donation of $150 to be used to purchase more toys. Mike Smith with The Mouse Trap in Trenton has informed me that he also has a cash donation to add to the cause.”

Christian Endeavor Chairman Bill Jones said eligible parents may begin signing up their child for the Christmas toys on Tuesday, November 2nd. Toys will not be given out until December 15th.

For more information contact Holloway at 692-4797 or 697-0492.

I am going to miss the office too and I am going to miss all those who have been so kind to me.”

The mayor and the city are going to have a reception for Capps’ retirement that will be announced in the near future.

DavidsonMAYOR OF KENTON

I served 29 years as Kenton city clerk and city recorder and two terms as mayor. I’m asking for your vote on November 2 to help get our town back on track. A vote for me is a vote for experience! Thanks for your support.

Political ad paid for by the candidate.

ELECT CHRIS YOUNGER CITY OF DYER ALDERMAN

My name is Chris Younger and I am asking for your vote for the City of Dyer alderman position.

My family and I are citizens of Dyer and my son, Camran, attends Dyer Elementary School. I was a self-employed plumber in this town for several years and have had the opportunity to speak with many of you about your concerns for Dyer. It is wonderful that so many of you have a deep sense of pride for your hometown and that you are very interested in the future of Dyer and its residents. I feel the same way.

We all seem to want the same things: a clean and attractive town, affordable taxes, a future for our children, something for teenagers to be involved in, good roads and streets, financial stability for the town, a booming industrial park to create local jobs, continued updating of our water and sewer systems, and many other issues that you have told me about as I have been campaigning at your homes.

That is what an alderperson does. They listen to the community and try to represent the community as a whole and make the best possible decisions for the town based on what the citizens suggest. Of course, as we all know, the city board cannot act on these issues unless you, as a resident of Dyer, contact them and make your concerns known.

As your alderman, I will be available at any time, day or night, to respectively listen to you and bring to the board any issue that is important to you. The board has hard decisions to make and we, as a town, need to make sure that we are more informed as to how city government works and how and why the decisions that affect us are made. All it takes is one or two trips to a board meeting to understand what I am saying.

As your alderman I will work closely with the Mayor and the board to help make the right decisions for you. This is not a position to seek with a negative attitude. Only with a positive attitude, the ability to really listen to our citizens and the knowledge of how our town works, will progress be made for the City of Dyer. It will take all of us together to make the necessary steps to raise Dyer to a level that we can be even more proud of than we already are.

I am ready and willing to accept this challenge and would greatly appreciate your vote on November 2nd. Thank you.

citizens issues and needs for our city’s future and their hopes and expectations for me, if I am elected. I will research the appropriate avenues for these needs to learn what can or cannot be done. I will do my best to find out solutions and see that the needs are met,” added Sharp.

Sharp wants to revive the town’s special events, target problems, develop agendas, and insure disaster awareness.

“It is important that the city board members know what issues are going to be discussed at meetings a couple of weeks prior to a board meeting. This would give the alderpersons a chance to investigate solutions that might be available. Hasty decisions are never a good idea, especially when it is taxpayers money that the

With the national debt at a record $13.5 trillion and rising every day, U.S. Senator Bob Corker, Republican from Tennessee, will hold a town hall meeting Thursday, November 4 in Jackson to address America’s debt crisis, according to a media release.

The town hall event, which is open to the public, will be held at Union University from 1:00 p.m. until 2 p.m. Doors will open at 12:15 p.m.

city leaders are spending,” Sharp said.

“We should all be mindful of our town’s necessities, such as water and sewer, which must be self-supporting (this is the law). Streets and drainage ditches are also a priority. There are many properties that need to be condemned and destroyed immediately. They are an eyesore as well as a safety issue,” she added.

“Revenue is low. There are many jobless, low income, disabled, and folks on fixed incomes. Bills have got be paid. This is serious business. It looks like a do or die situation for Kenton and I am not ready to give up,” continued Sharp.

“It is with deep respect for the people of Kenton that I am asking you to elect me to represent you on the Kenton city board,” concluded Sharp.

We have received a grant and hired a firm to tell us what process to take in order to attract more businesses to the Kenton area. The reality is that times are tough and we need to take this opportunity to continue growth and not to go back to the projects of the past,” continued Maughan.

“As mayor, I ask, rather encourage Kentonites to purchase, where possible, in

Kenton, as I do. I believe it is essential for the growth of business to strive and keep Kenton running smooth,” he said.

“I feel that I can accomplish more growth for the city if given the opportunity. I am proud to serve the people of Kenton and hope to continue these same principals if I am elected to serve as mayor. I would like to thank everyone for their support and would appreciate your vote,” concluded Maughan.

University Drive.Sen. Corker will deliver a

sobering, slide presentation on Washington’s spending trends and mounting debt levels and then respond to questions from the audience, said the press release.

“There is absolutely no construct for fiscal discipline at the federal level,” said Mr. Corker.

“If we do not change the path we are on and dramatically reduce spending in relation to our GDP, I believe we are in danger of becoming the first generation of Americans to leave our country in worse

shape than we found it.” “We need to change the

conversation, and I think that means focusing on the big picture first. The gnashing of teeth about tax policy and spending cuts will come, but page one is agreeing on the amount of spending we can sustain as a country.”

Corker delivered the presentation in 26 Tennessee counties in August, and he will continue to tour the state this fall with the same message.

Mr. Corker uses information from a number of sources including the Congressional Budget Office, U.S. Department of the Treasury, and the Office of Management and Budget.

The presentation notes that one measure of a country’s economic health can be determined by looking at its debt in relation to its gross domestic product (GDP). America’s debt is currently

62 percent of GDP, well above historical levels, said Sen. Corker.

“If we continue on our current course, by 2030, America’s debt will be 146 percent of GDP, far exceeding what economists view as sustainable. For reference, Greece’s debt level was at 120 percent when the European Union stepped in.”

“In 2010, the federal government will spend $1.29 trillion more than it takes in. To put that in perspective, in 2008, the average Tennessee household earned $43,000 a year. If that family applied Washington logic to their budgeting, they would have spent $74,000, borrowing 40 cents of every dollar and spending $31,000 more than they earned.”

“Fifty years ago, only five percent of our debt was held overseas. Today, that figure is 47 percent. China alone owns about 10 percent (9.8 percent or $844 billion).”

and other presentations so as to maintain order and timeliness. The resolution was approved by the council and contained the following guidelines:

Citizen comments during presentations segments of board meetings will generally be limited to a maximum of 2 minutes per person. If, in the discretion of the mayor, the number of persons wishing to speak would unduly prolong that portion of the meeting, the mayor may reduce the time allowed for individual presentations.

The total time allocated for citizen presentations at any single meeting of the board shall not exceed twenty minutes. At the appropriate time on the agenda, the mayor will ask if there are persons present who wish to make a presentation to the board. All such persons wishing to make a presentation shall wait to be recognized by the mayor before proceeding. Once recognized by the mayor, presenters shall stand, state their name and address, and then proceed with their statement. All questions posed by a presenter shall be addressed to the mayor, who may direct the question to a particular board member or staff person for a response.

The mayor shall notify all presenters when their time to speak has expired. Upon such notification, the presenter shall return to his seat in the gallery or leave the premises.

The use of profane language is not permitted while making presentations to the board. In such cases, the mayor shall rule the speaker out of order and ask the speaker to end his presentation.

The City of Kenton is going to have Halloween at the traditional time on October 31, with an 11 p.m. curfew. Many of the Kenton area churches will be having activities for the occasion.

All of these activities are put together so that the youngsters can enjoy a happy evening of good, clean fun

Gibson County currently has over 1,700 children enrolled in the program that promotes literacy.

The auction will be broadcast on radio station 93.7 FM.

“We are ecstatic to again have Victory 93.7 and Verizon Wireless of Humboldt, Milan and Trenton serve as corporate sponsors for the event,” said Farmer.

“A highlight of the event and day will be the live broadcast from the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. The six-hour broadcast will be from 12 noon to 6 p.m.,” said Farmer.

Plans also call for a number of items to be auctioned live at 4 p.m.

Imagination Library sets auction, ‘Coins for Kids’ driveBuy an auction item and

support a reading program for local children.

The Gibson County Imagination Library Board of Directors and committee members this week announced plans for their second annual, countywide Radio-thon and Auction to be held Saturday, November 6 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Milan Cumberland Presbyterian Church.

Last year’s auction event, hosted in Trenton at the former Regions Bank Building, raised in excess of $10,000. Chairman Don Farmer the committee hopes the second event can be as successful as the first.

“Every dollar raised is used to supply books to children from birth to five years of age,” said Farmer.

Don Farmer, Chairman of the Gibson Co. Imagination Library

will be announced in local newspapers and on radio the week of November 1. The final schedule will be based on the number of items donated and collected during the coming weeks.

Letters seeking donations were sent to all members of Chambers of Commerce in Gibson County.

“However, we are not limited to accepting donated items from only chamber members; anyone or any business can donate items for the auction,” said Farmer.

Donated items can be delivered to a Chamber office or local city libraries. You can also call Chairman Don Farmer at 686-1812 or 234-8411 for pick up or additional information on how to donate an item.

Coins for KidsPlans are underway

for another great event to support Imagination Library. A “Coins for Kids” program will be held in schools throughout the county from November 1 – 22. Students and teachers will be encouraged to donate coins that will buy books for children enrolled in Imagination Library.

Local businesses will also have an opportunity to collect coins from November 1– 30. If a business would like to have a gallon jug to collect coins for Imagination Library contact Don Farmer or a committee member.

“Every dollar raised will be used for Gibson Co. children,” said Farmer. “November is a month in which to be thankful as we lead into the Thanksgiving holiday. There is no better way to celebrate our blessings than to share the opportunity of reading with our children.”

6; an ordinance authorizing (permitting) employees of the town to run for elected positions, died on its introduction without a motion or a second.

Under city park business, Eddie Bell, president of the park commission asked that the board appoint Eddie Watkins on the park board. Alderman Bob White made the motion to put Watkins on the park board and alderperson Sandy Comstock seconded the motion. The council approved Watkins to the park board. Bell was also concerned about who would be cleaning the park bathrooms starting in November. Alderman Don Greer suggested that the city workers could check the park bathrooms over the winter months. Comstock suggested putting hand dryers in the bathrooms. Mayor Keith Cardwell asked alderman Dusty Emerson and Comstock to check the prices of hand dryers and bring it to the next meeting.

It was brought to the council’s attention that dogs are running loose in the cemetery. Greer made a motion, with Comstock seconding, to have MTAS to formulate an ordinance concerning the matter for the next meeting.

City recorder Joan Capps is retiring and Cardwell read her retirement letter to the

council. Greer made a motion to accept Capps’ resignation. Comstock seconded and the board approved the measure.

In other business brought before the board, the council agreed to have city attorney Bill Barron start proceedings to regain the Kellwood building back into the city’s possession to either rent or sell the property.

Greer reported to the board that the New Hope Street Bridge is completed and Dale Sowell is to blacktop it.

Caldwell also announced that Halloween would be observed on Saturday, October 30, instead of on Sunday, October 31.

Under department reports, fire chief Bob Blankenship stated the fire department had one fire call and one mutual aid call for the month. Fire fighter Jon Stafford is going to Bell Buckle for fire training at the cost of $150.

Police chief Mike Hensley reported that the police department had 199 calls to service for the month.

Farmers & Merchants Bank announced this week that an agreement has been reached for the bank to purchase the Trenton branch of Peoples State Bank of Commerce.

Farmers & Merchants Bank Chairman and CEO George Atwood stated, “This acquisition will give us a market share in excess of 40%. We consider the Trenton community to be very desirable as a client base, and we are excited to be here.”

is appreciated! Thank you

of Dyer.”

Political ad paid for by the candidate.

“If everybody hates the democrats and the republicans so much,” I heard a woman ask during a conversational free-for-all on the subject of the upcoming elections, “they why doesn’t somebody come up with a serious third party?”

Actually, they have, plenty of them. Generally, third party members are a lot more serious about politics than your typical democrats or republicans. The problem they have is getting others to take them seriously. There have been dozens of “third” parties that have paraded across the nation’s, and Tennessee’s, political landscape, but with the exception of the republican party, which emerged in the 1850’s as a third party, none of them have had much success at all.

Why? If the major parties are held in such scorn, as they appear to be today, why do third parties have such difficulty gaining political traction?

Many reasons, but the primary one usually given is that here in America we use, almost everywhere, what is known as a “first-past-the-post” voting system. What that means is that the candidate with the most votes wins, even if he, or she, doesn’t actually get a

majority of votes cast. Unlike “proportional representation” systems, runners-up do not get any representation at all. In other words, in American politics, with few exceptions, only the first place winners stay at the table.

So because there is only going to be one winner, and everyone else is going to lose, prospective voters have a powerful incentive to vote for one of the two candidates who seem to have a chance to get the greatest number of votes, and thus, win. They, the voters, may prefer some other candidate, but if they think their preferred candidate cannot win, then they support one of the two top candidates, or parties.

That’s one reason why, historically, third parties, with the exception of the republican party, have not had long term success. Usually they come about either as a result of a specific issue, or to support a specific candidate. The election of 1912, in which the Bull Moose Party ran Theodore Roosevelt for president, is an example of the latter situation, as was the Reform Party that nominated Ross Perot in 1996. Four years earlier, when he garnered nearly 19% of the vote, he was actually an independent.

In the past, as I said, third

party candidates have almost never won, especially in national races. When they do win, their victories tend to be short lived; their good ideas get stolen by one, or both, of the major parties, and when they lose their “unique” issues, they usually fade away.

But that doesn’t mean they are not important. They have played an immensely significant role as catalysts of political and social progress. Third parties were far ahead of the “establishment” parties, for example, in the anti-slavery movement, the women’s suffrage movement and a host of other “mainstream” ideas that once were considered radical.

And sometimes their candidates act as spoilers, causing one or the other of the two major parties to lose an election it otherwise would have won. Think Ralph Nader in 2000 and H. Ross Perot in 1992. President Bush would probably have beaten Governor Clinton if Perot hadn’t been in the race. (Perot got 18.9% of the vote.) And Vice-president Gore would definitely have won Florida, and thus the presidency, if Ralph Nader, the Reform Party candidate who got 40,000 votes, hadn’t been on the ballot also.

It’ll be interesting to see what the future brings to Tennessee ballots by way of third parties. We have a rich history of colorful political

contests in the state, with many different “third” parties figuring into some of them. One Tennessee politician in the middle of the 19th century, Horace Maynard, was a candidate for public office of one sort or another in seven different political parties. A lawyer and college professor, he ran for the office of presidential elector for the Whig party in Tennessee, and ran for congress as a Whig also. He lost, but four years later he ran again, this time as a member of the American Party, and he won. Two years later he ran for

reelection, but as a candidate for the Opposition Party and won was victorious. The following term he was the Unionist Party candidate. He won again.

A loyalist, he was appointed attorney general of Tennessee by Military Governor Andrew Johnson during the Civil War, but in 1866 he was back in elective politics, serving as a delegate to the Southern Loyalist Party Convention in Philadelphia, and later that year he ran for congress again, this time as a member of the Unconditional Unionist Party. He won yet

again, and then he became a republican for four terms. He ran for governor as a republican also, but lost that election.

Don’t feel sorry for him though. After losing the governor’s race he had two additional careers, including one as Postmaster General of the United States.

So yes, there is life after elective politics, and quite often it is vastly superior to life on the hustings.

Something a lot of candidates are going to need to remember in a couple of weeks.

I’ve noticed a familiar trend in this year’s Primary and General Election cycle. It appears to me that the television, print, and even internet media have favored and/or endorsed the candidate who enters the race with the most funding.

It was extremely obvious to me when the Jackson Sun and the Commercial Appeal favored Kirkland in the primary and Herron in the general.

Kirkland and his brother outspent Fincher at least 3 to 1 and at the beginning of the general election, everyone expected Herron

to outspend Fincher, knowing Fincher entered the general with essentially no money due to a costly primary fight.

American media outlets are for profit businesses, concerned with their bottom line. It’s doubtful the media would be unbiased in their election reporting and candidate endorsements. This leaves us, the electorate to do our own investigations into the candidates in order to make an informed decision.

Ashley JordanMaury City, TN

Roy Herron is a good manI grew up in the 8th district

and have never been active in politics. I did donate $57 to Roy’s campaign for his 57th birthday. I feel compelled to speak up on behalf of Roy Herron. Roy is an attorney, former Methodist minister, and state legislator. Roy counts among his endorsements,

eight newspapers in the district and the National Rifle Association.

During Roy’s legislative tenure, he has a history of reaching across the aisle to move legislation forward. America is deeply divided and I feel it is inappropriate for either party to always vote strictly party lines. We need good healthy debate and not the continued rancor, partisanship, and gridlock.

John Maynard Keynes, 1883 – 1946, a noted British economist, presented the theory that demand could be stimulated by increasing supply. His theory supported government intervention and a populist monetary policy to fuel economic growth. Europe embraced this concept and most European economies have declined! Does increased government, borrowing, spending and intervention make things more affordable?

Wallace Ayers, an old friend of mine in McNairy County, a longtime farmer and County Commissioner, who has since passed away, once told me, “Tom, I’ve finally decided! You just can’t borrow yourself out of debt!”

Consider this. Besides borrowing, spending and increasing our debt by almost 3 trillion dollars since January of 2009; we doubled the printing of money, accelerating the decline of the dollar against other currencies; thereby increasing our price of all things foreign and domestic!

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, Democratic leaders in Congress and President Obama contend that “we” haven’t spent or done enough to “stimulate” and insure economic recovery!

Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton and Defense Secretary Robert Gates have stated that the greatest threat to National Security “is” our “debt”!

Most economists, financiers and business people say that continued borrowing and spending will generate an even greater crisis! Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke, called continued borrowing and increasing debt: “troubling and unsustainable.” No one in the administration: the president, vice president, the White House staff, the president’s cabinet and his numerous Czars have any significant experience with business establishment, ownership or operation!

Many legislators have little to no business background or expertise. They look to increased taxes as the solution to address increasing debt from continued spending. To label them as “being out of touch with America” is generosity approaching a stellar level of exaggeration and condescension!

Let’s review the results so far. Average income is down, pay and benefit cuts are common, under employment and unemployment have increased. Living and business costs, including taxes have increased. Your

money buys less. I believe Wallace Ayers’

was right. Increasing debt and spending without profit doesn’t save money, promote certainty, increase real revenue or “stimulate” an economy. Congress recently left Washington without extending tax cuts for 201. Taxes and costs will likely go up, even for those making far less than $250K.

With three weeks remaining to midterm elections, the moratorium halting one third of domestic oil production was lifted; one month ahead of schedule. I was astonished!

To compliment First Lady Michelle Obama’s healthier kid’s initiative, there’s an agenda to ban or tax soft drinks containing sugars and boycott or tax fatty foods, etc. I’ll bet that “stimulated” Coca Cola, Alcoa Aluminum, McDonald’s; their suppliers, transporters, employees, investors and retirees.What will become of Ronald McDonald?

The administration requires our patience and resolve for continued spending to “clean up the mess.” Are you spending more and enjoying it less? Will government spend your way to prosperity? Please respond, Tuesday, November 2nd!

Tom BeasleyDyer, TN

Unfortunately, we have had no debates in the current contest as the opposition candidate, Stephen Fincher refuses to debate or speak with the press. A ton of national money is flowing in to support Mr. Fincher. Don’t let outsider’s national money influence your vote. A vote for Roy Herron is a vote for common sense.

Diabetes Complications Prevention and Treatment

Diabetes is an abnormality of glucose metabolism. If uncontrolled, it often leads to health related complications. Type 1 diabetes is a deficiency of naturally occuring insulin. Type 2 diabetes (sometimes called adult onset diabetes) results in insulin resistance and decreased secretion on insulin. Hyperglycemia, or high blood sugar, is a sign of decreased insulin activity. Vascular complication sometimes occur. Microvasular complication include retinopathy, and mephropathy. Retinopathy results from damage tot he blood vessels int he retina, which can lead to blindness. Nephropathy is kidney damage and can lead to kidney failure. Neuropathy is nerve damage, which can show up as numbness or tingling sensations. Macrovascular complications include heart disease and stroke.

Insulin helps prevent both microvascular and macrovascular complications. Exenatide (Byetta) and pramlintide (Symlin) are injected before meals to stablize blood glucose after eating. Sufonylureas, such as glipizide (Glucotrol) work to improve the production of insulin and to prevent microvascular complications. Metformin (Glucophage) is prescribed for persons with type 2 diabetes, and works to imporve the body’s use of insulin and to prevent macrovascular complications.

You are either full time Christian or not. In his closing invitation Bro. Don told us we had heard the challenge. What measures would you go to for Christ?

Our sympathy goes to the family of John Sims.

Lowrance Chapel By Jerry Bell Rutherford 1st Baptist By Katheryn Blankenship

We are so thankful for the rain this weekend. The Lord always takes care of our needs in His time!

The choir special was “Worthy is the Lamb.” Brother Jason’s message “The Price of Admission” was taken from Mark 9:43-48.

Sunday evening Christy Hentin sang “Heaven’s Jubilee.”

Brother Jason talked about “Laodicea” Revelation 3:14-22.

We are getting ready for our Harvest Festival that will start at 4 p.m. Sunday

afternoon. Five of our men, Tommy

Bearden, Eddie Bell, Danny Dunn, Stewart Dunn and Jeff Johnson are leading a Lay Revival November 14th. We invite everyone to come out and hear them speak.

Mr. John Richerson has been moved to Maple Wood Nursing Home, room 411, if you would like to send a card.

Those having birthdays this week: Chloe Bell, Jo Ella Luna, Ronnie Gilmore, Mandy Bell and Sue Ellen Moore.

I found this “Recipe for

Sunday School for Shut-In By Mary King

Perhaps you didn’t get to go to Sunday school. Whether you’re 10 or 110 this is for you with love. When you’re ready please read Exodus 3:7-9.

Moses has an assignment: the lord says He has seen the affliction of His people. The people aren’t where God wanted them to be. But now they’ve called on Him and Good has heard. Their prayer stands before the throne of God.

The Lord announces what He will do: 1) deliver His people 2) lead them where

He wants them to be. At some point in the life

of Moses, he must have asked, “Lord, do you want me to be a Shepard forever? Lord what do you want me to do? (Acts 9:6) God answers here in Exodus 3.

Moses will be a light. God says that He’s coming down to make a personal investigation. God says that the cry of His people has come us into His presence. Someone prayed and God sees. God is the investigator here in Exodus 3, and He’s always judge.

Need A Consultation?Call Trenton Attorney

“Solving Bankruptcy Problems For Over 20 Years”

Life” and want to pass it on: One cup of good thoughts,

one cup if kind deeds, one cup consideration for others, two cups well beaten faults, three cups of forgiveness. Mix thoroughly and add tears of joy, sorrow and sympathy for others. Fold in 4 cups of prayer and faith, to lighten other ingredients and let rise to great heights of Christian living. After pouring all of this into your family life bake well with warmth of human kindness. Serve with a smile.

Until next week, God bless.

God has come to settle the score. God could do all this alone, but God called and assigned people. He’s no different today (Malachi 3:6).

Moses has been called to live among them as a shining example of the desire of God for everyone who calls on His name. “For whosever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:13 KJV. When we call, He sets us in His own kingdom. Our lives are changed forever.

Jesus said, “Ye are the light of the world, A city that is set in an hill cannot be hid” Matthew 5:14 KJV. Jesus describes the strategic placement of his personnel. Often I try to find a middle of the road position. Then I’m being as a Pharisee; and what did Jesus say? “He that is not with M is against me” Matthew 12:30). With each decision, we choose sides.

Then the Lord says to Moses, “therefore, come now and I will send you to Pharaoh” Exodus 3:10). When God has a set up in the making. He will set a person in the midst. He will work through that someone. One person will be called to be in the forefront of the event. This time, it’s Moses.

Each person will be given his own instruction. Each one of us is called to a person or a people. God has given every one of us the instruction manual for life (Joshua 1:8).

My wife Jean and I are on vacation in Vernal,

Utah. We are visiting Christian friends and

helping to encourage the church. We miss all of our church members, friends and family and plan to be home sometime next week.

BY LORI CATHEYThe Gibson County

Pioneers had their best offensive game of the season racking up 475 yards of offense in a 41- 21 loss to Obion County Central on the final home game of the 2010 football season. Michael Keel led the team on both sides of the ball with 33 rushes for 226 yards, 8 tackles, 1 TD and 3 PAT’s.

Lee Whitaker was 3 of 8 passing for 121 yards including a 49-yard pass to Senior Matt Littleton.

The Pioneer offense had over 350 yards rushing featuring the Wishbone and I-Pro backfield. The Obion Central Rebels spread the field and threw the ball most of the night with four and five wide receivers. It was an interesting mix of the old school running attack and the contemporary all out passing scheme. With 11:30 left in the game GC quarterback Lee Whitaker connected with senior Matt Littleton for a 49 yard pass for a touchdown.

Gibson County defense forced a three-and-out from the Rebels offense.

Nine plays later and facing 4th down, QB Whitaker scored on a 9-yard run making it 35-14. GC

Michael Keel broke a 16-yard run for a touchdown for the final score. Keel made all three extra points.

Gibson County coach Lee Atkins said, “We reached way back into the archives to dust off the wishbone

offensive scheme. We only worked on it for a few days to add something to our ground game. I am very

proud of these seniors and all of our Pioneers. This was our best offensive output of the season and even though it was a loss, we look at this game as a huge leap forward for our program.”

Leading the defensive line were: Michael Keel with 8 tackles; Marque Brown - 5 tackles; Clayton Yarbro - 5 tackles and one forced fumble; Dustin Murdoch - 4 tackles; Colton Beasley - 4 tackles; Drew Scobey - 3 tackles; Marqeous Bailey - 3 tackles and Roderick Barnett - 2 tackles and a fumble recovery.

“When I accepted this position in the spring I knew the Pioneers had not won a football game since October of 2008. Ultimately, we must get back into the winning column but until that happens we must look to statistics and intangible attributes of the game to provide milestones of our overall progress.” I am very excited to see the huge improvements in our running game. Hopefully, we can have a good game this coming Friday at Trenton to wrap up this season.” said Atkins.

Softball tourny held September 27but Rutherford pitcher Rebecca Lee set the Lady Eagles down with a perfect bottom of the fifth. In the top of the 6th, the Lady Pirates got a lead off walk by Inman.
