This year the featured speaker at the Teapot Prayer Breakfast will be Billy Vaughn, father of Special Operations Chief (Navy SEAL) Aaron Carson Vaughn. Aaron was one of America’s elite warriors, who on August 6, 2011 stepped into a CH-47 Chinook chopper, along with 29 other fearless warriors headed on a mission from which they would never return. He gave it all to defend the way of life we all enjoy. Aaron’s parents, Billy and Karen speak publicly across America in an effort to carry the torch their son passed on to them and to continue his mission.

At point guard for the Bradford Red Devils basketball team, Nathan Russell was an invaluable leader because of his ability to put up points and dish assists to teammates.

A four year starter and 2002 grad of Bradford High School, Russell scored 1,456 career points. Equally if not more impressive were his assists – 610 dishes for scores by teammates that led to over 1,220 additional points for the Red Devils.

On Wednesday, April 18, 2012 at 1 p.m., the Gibson County Special School District Office of Coordinated School Health and community partners will be hosting an educational presentation about the dangers of drunk driving for the seniors at Gibson County High School.

The scene will be a mock DUI crash and will include automobiles with actors involved in a collision in which alcohol is the primary cause of the crash. This crash scene appears realistic but there is no cause for alarm. Local law enforcement and rescue personnel will be conducting this event and it will be worked as a real crash.

This is part of a school activity and not open to the community. The purpose of this event is to inform students of the dangerous mix of teenagers, alcohol and automobiles. Please do not be alarmed by any sirens or scanner activity that will be occurring on this date.

Insight & OpinionClayburn Peeples reports: Quaker Oats man gets a face lift

Letters to the editor:

Taxpayer money should benefit people who pay taxesDear Editor,Our county commission

is responsible for the allocation of taxpayer’s money and seeing that those funds are allocated in a reasonable and responsible way for the benefit of the taxpayer. Taxpayer’s money should be allocated in a way that benefits the people who pay the taxes, not special interest, private, or charitable organizations.

Our highway department, the ambulance authority, or our Sheriff’s Department are examples of reasonable and responsible allocation of funds. Every taxpayer in the county stands to benefit from these departments of county government that provide needed services potentially to every taxpayer.

Allocating funds to

I read an article the other day that said that one of the hottest trends going right now is plastic surgery for men, and I guess it must be true. Even the Quaker Oats Man is getting a makeover. That’s right, the venerable old gentleman whose face graces those round boxes of Quaker Oats is getting a facelift. It seems PepsiCo Inc., the owner of the product line, wants to “invigorate the brand” to make it more “fresh and innovative.”

To that end they have given “Larry” (Inexplicably, that’s what they’ve named him.) a facelift and a haircut. The old Quaker Oats Man, say company officials, is associated by the public with heritage, trust and quality. They are hoping his new look will add energy and healthy qualities to his aura.

Thus, they have magically made him younger by about five years, a few pounds slimmer and added muscle tone to his shoulders. They have also gotten rid of his slight double chin and taken some of the chubbiness out of his cheeks.

And they’ve airbrushed a few wrinkles out of his face as well. Altogether, the changes amount to the equivalent of chin liposuction, a facelift and a healthy application of Botox. The company’s hope is that the changes, admittedly minor, will make

him look stronger and more vibrant to the public, but not too much more. Their goal is to do this so subtly that people won’t consciously notice the changes.

And most won’t. Even side by side, you have to look closely at the old and new images to see the differences, and either way, he looks pretty darned good for a 135-year-old man.

That’s how long ago it was that the mill that first made Quaker Oats applied for, and was granted, the nation’s first ever breakfast cereal trademark. It was for “a man in Quaker garb.”

At first they were sold loose, out of a barrel, but in 1885 they began selling them in rectangular boxes. They also began giving away free dinnerware with purchases, and by 1908 they were putting cookie recipes on the backs of the boxes. In 1915, they changed the box shape to the iconic round container that can still be found on grocery shelves today.

The Quaker Man, as we know him, first appeared on boxes in 1946, as a line drawing. Then, 12 years later, the drawing was replaced by a full color portrait, and he’s not, says the company, supposed to look like William Penn or Benjamin Franklin.

In 1972, the portrait was redone, but essentially unchanged. We’ll have

to wait and see whether women, who still buy most of the groceries in America, will find him more attractive or not.

And he’s not the only food mascot undergoing image renovation. Col. Harlan Sanders, the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken, or KFC, as the company is now known, has really gone through changes. Whereas, he was once a real person, he has now become a cartoon character in the company’s advertisements, and has been modified to give him more hair and finer wrinkles. And not only that, instead of wearing what was his trademark white suit in real life, the cartoon Colonel now wears a red food server’s apron. And because of the current war against anything fried, you’ll never again hear him say the words, “finger lickin’ good.”

Can the company get away with remaking an actual person like that? Sure they can. Five out of ten young adults think he’s a made up character anyway.

Health concerns have caused more than one food mascot to change his or her image. Charlie the Tuna, for example, has given up smoking cigars in ads and commercials, and he is now searching not only for good taste, but good health as well.

And Cookie Monster?

Because indiscriminate cookie eating can be a health hazard, Cookie Monster now warns children that cookies are a “sometimes food.”

Yeah, that ought to take care of childhood obesity.

Political correctness also drives mascot redos. Remember what happened to Betty Crocker about 15 years ago? Her original image, created in the 1920’s as a blend of Northern European characteristics, was modified, in 1996, to a computer-generated blend of 75 different nationalities from all over the world. Thus, it’s now impossible to say what her heritage is.

Uncle Ben, of Uncle Ben’s Converted Rice, no longer wears a Pullman Porter’s attire. In 2007, advertisers for the company dropped the “Uncle” from his name and promoted him to Chairman of the Board. He now shares “Ben’s grains of wisdom” with his followers on Facebook.

Aunt Jemima traded in her trademark headscarf for a string of pearls and a lace collar in 1994. She also dropped about a hundred pounds, which made her look decades younger, and went from being the family cook to having a career.

Not all makeovers work as well as the companies involved expect them to. When Mattel recently tried to change Dora the Explorer from a tot to a ‘tween there was an unexpected outcry from angry parents.

In 2007, the Sun-Maid Growers of California got the bright idea to “update” the figure of Lorraine, the Sun-Maid Raison Girl, who has graced their boxes since 1915. They left her bonnet on, but they put her in a skin hugging blouse and drew a curvy figure on her, hoping that this new “modern” girl would sell more raisons. Instead, they encountered a storm of criticism, one critic charging that they had

turned her into “a Barbie in Amish clothing.”

So what’s a food company to do? We like what we like when it comes to eating food, but when buying it, we often make purchasing decisions because of packaging, rather than products inside them, and when in packaging, little things can mean a lot.

I was walking down the cereal aisle at the grocery store the other day and spied a box of Frosted Flakes (formerly Sugar Frosted Flakes) and there, on the box, was Tony the Tiger, Kellogg’s most popular food mascot ever. He’s been on their boxes since 1952, but back then (And I remember; I was there.) he had a body shaped like a skinny football. Today, however, he’s tall and muscled up like a football player. How’d they do that?

Must be on steroids. Nobody can get that buff from eating Frosted Flakes.

special interest, private organizations, or charities should not be the function of government. In most all cases it is taking from one person for the benefit of another and it sews the seeds of misuse, abuse, and corruption. Such misdirected funding takes away from departments of county government that do benefit the taxpayer in an equitable manner.

Is it reasonable for our county commission to provide funding to a charity with funds from unemployed or struggling taxpayers? Are we citizens not smart enough to make our own decisions about charitable donations?

I have no beef at all with a tutoring program in Humboldt but it should

be funded by the people in Humboldt whose children are being tutored, not the county taxpayer. If the county commission funds a tutoring program in Humboldt why not allocate funds to hire nannies for children in Dyer or to provide contraceptives for teenagers in Milan. The point is where does the special interest spending stop? Allocation of tax dollars should stop when it doesn’t directly benefit the average taxpayer.

If our county government allocates revenues toward special interest as our Federal Government does our county government will become just as corrupt and bankrupt as our Federal Government is.

David NanceTrenton Tn.

BY GOV. BILL HASLAMSpring is an especially

beautiful time in Tennessee, and along with our state’s natural beauty, there is a lot to be proud of here. Tennessee’s economy continues to steadily improve with the unemployment rate the lowest it has been since 2008.

As we continue to focus on making Tennessee the number one location in the southeast for high quality jobs, we’re seeing success in attracting new companies to invest in Tennessee and working with existing businesses to grow and expand here. We also continue to focus on improving education and making sure state government is as efficient and effective as possible to serve taxpayers in a customer-focused and responsive way.

Another priority is to keep Tennesseans safe, and just last week we launched a statewide campaign to educate citizens about a new state law regarding the manufacturing and use of methamphetamines, a serious problem in Tennessee.

The “I Hate Meth Act,” increases penalties for making or using meth in the presence of children and for purchasing pseudoephedrine products for non-medical

uses. Under the law, if you make meth in the presence of a child, you face up to 25 years in prison if the child is 8-years-old or younger.

The law also covers the activities of “smurfers” – those that purchase or attempt to purchase pseudoephedrine products, one of the key ingredients used to make meth, for non-medical purposes.

The manufacturing and use of meth is one of the top public safety concerns of law enforcement officials across the state. In 2011, officers seized 1,687 meth labs in Tennessee. Only one other state, Missouri, had more meth labs seized last year. In the meantime, the state also removed 321 children from the custody of their parents and placed them into foster care due to meth-related incidents last year. Not only is the meth problem destroying families, it is costing taxpayers nearly $110 per child, per day for foster care services.

We want to deter people from making and using meth in Tennessee, which will save lives, protect our children, save taxpayer dollars, and make our state safer overall.

Our statewide “Meth Stops Now” campaign focuses resources in the Tennessee

counties with the highest number of children removed from homes due to meth-related incidents and the highest number of meth lab seizures.

In addition, my budget proposal that is being considered by the General Assembly includes $750,000 for the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation to fund meth lab clean-up training and equipment for sheriffs’ offices and police departments across the state.

The anti-meth campaign is funded through state-administered grants from the U.S. Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Assistance, Office of Justice Programs and the consumer Healthcare Products Association.

You will likely hear radio announcements about this effort, and there will be billboards, gas pump advertisements, in-store signage, informational pharmacy bag fliers, a website (www.methstopsnow.com), and bumper stickers on law enforcement vehicles.By tackling the meth problem on a number of fronts, we can make our communities, our homes and our children safer across Tennessee.

As always, if you have questions about this effort or any other issue, please contact

“Kaitlin has given me so many great memories,” said Union coach Mark Campbell at the end of Dudley’s senior season. “She is the best scoring guard I have ever coached, but what separates her from most is her ability to make big shots. She relishes the opportunity to do something special.”

Dudley started in all 148 games of her Union career and averaged 16.3 points, 4.75 rebounds and 3 assists per game over four years. Union’s record during her career was 138 wins and just 10 losses.

In Dudley’s four years, Union advanced to four national NAIA Final Fours and won two national championships (2009, 2010). She helped Union win four TranSouth regular season titles and three TranSouth Tournament titles.

Dudley was a four-time NAIA All-American (2007-2010); four-time, first team TranSouth All-Conference player; and the 2010 TranSouth Player of the Year. She was also named to the NAIA and TranSouth all-tournament teams. She was a member of the TranSouth all freshmen team.

After her second national title at Union, Dudley’s jersey was displayed in the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame Ring of Honor in

Knoxville, Tennessee in 2010-11. “Without a doubt, Kaitin is definitely a part of an elite group, and a part of history now, too!” said Karen Tucker, Director of Basketball Operations for the Hall of Fame in Knoxville.

“What a great way for Kaitlin to be remembered and Union to be represented,” said Union head coach Mark Campbell about

Dudley’s national honor. “Kaitlin has represented Union in such a great way over her four years, and this just finishes off one of the greatest careers in Lady Bulldog basketball history. We will miss one of the most mentally tough players I will ever coach.”

Kaitlin is currently a Graduate Assistant coach at Union working on her Master’s Degree.

DUDLEY TAKES AIM - Kaitlyn Dudley takes aim at the foul line during her high school years as a Lady Pioneer. Dudley will be inducted into the GC Sports Hall of Fame on April 13th.

Bradford coach Tim Allen, now coaching Peabody boys. “He could make a bounce pass the length of the court on the money. He averaged over 10 assists his senior year and was very unselfish. He could also shoot it as well as anyone I have ever coached. I wish he had been a little more selfish. Nathan was quiet, but led with his actions and was a tremendous talent. He made me look a lot smarter than I was as a coach, and he is a great kid who I am proud to call a friend. Nathan is certainly deserving of this award.”

In his career, Russell knocked down 223 three-

pointers and added 300 rebounds. He also was a standout defensive player, making 150 career steals.

“Nathan was very good in back of the press, and he could guard as well, but I didn’t want him to get in foul trouble,” added Allen. “I would tell him to run beside and act like he was guarding.”

Russell was a three-time All District player and two-time All Region selection at Bradford. His senior season (2000-2001) he earned All West Tennessee honors and Honorable Mention All State. He helped lead the Red Devils to two district championships as Bradford advanced to the Region

tournament all four years when he was a starter.

Russell earned a basketball scholarship to Bethel University but elected not to continue playing and transferred to UT Martin, eventually earning his B.S. degree in Health and Human Performance with K-12 Licensure.

After graduation from UTM he became head girls’ basketball coach at Rutherford Junior High.

His team finished second in the state TNT tournament that year.

From 2009 until 2011 Russell served as the Assistant Girl’s Basketball Coach at Gibson Co. High School, helping guide

Little - Hayes

It was a perfectly beautiful Easter weekend. The sunrise was spectacular as a good group gathered at Bethpage for Sunrise Service. Bro. James delivered a short message from Luke 24:1-6. We enjoyed a fellowship breakfast following service and went home to re-group and come back at our regular meeting time.

Joe Mac Huffine was the only one with a birthday last week so we sang just for him. Tina and Janice played ‘Amazing Grace,’ and ‘My Chains Are Gone’ during quiet time. The preacher’s pals were so cute in their new Easter duds.

A large crowd was in attendance for worship and our welcome time was lenghty and enthusiastic. Charles had the special music. He sang ‘The Middle Man’ which is a beautiful rendition of the work Christ did on the cross for all mankind. Bro. James preached from Col 2:6-7 and Luke 22:63-65. His title was ‘Living Glory to God Means Living.’ Following the sermon, he and the deacons served the Lord’s Supper. What a precious experience!

Sympathy is extended to the family of J.T. Mckinney who lost his long struggle with cancer last week. He was well known and had many good friends in our area and will surely be missed. Joe Peevyhouse’s aunt, Mildred Hinson passed away so we send thoughts of sympathy to that family. Mrs Annie Littleton passed away last

week so we send prayers and sympathy to Louise Fout and other family members. Sympathy is sent to the family of Gary Ford who died following an extended illness.

Expressions of sympathy go out to James Carl Hammond and other family members in the loss of Donna Ellegood, James Carl’s daughter.

The spring fun day for the Mason Hall community was a hugh success. It was estimated that around 250 attended the festivities. The Hardin brothers did a great job on the big grill. I think they had some others helping as well. Lots of games were going on for the kids and older folks did lots of visiting. A good group enjoyed a lot of Bingo as it took a while for all the prizes to be won. Other than the food, the busiest place was the inflatables. Those kids were having a ball. It was a lot of work but worth the effort as everyone seemed to really enjoy the day.

Several members of the Cherry family met at Reelfoot Lake Saturday evening. Wanda said they had cousins from Cape Giradeau, Denver, Tampa, Las Angeles, Chicago and of course Union City and Mason Hall. They reported a wonderful time of visiting and reminiscing.

From the Pastor’s pen: Read 11 Corinthians 7:6-7, ‘Who comforts like our God?’ Christian, don’t sit down in despair, go to the comforter. Don’t go to earthly things, but to our “God that comforts those that are cast down.”

Mother Nature smiled on us all with beautiful weather in which to enjoy Easter!Many, donning their Easter frocks made their way to church to join together to celebratethe resurrection of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Songs of His resurrection and the newnessof life in Him were sung with great joy and reverence as well as Easter sermons preached to the masses of the timeless and true significance of Christ’s resurrection to all believers. Children enjoyed the yearly tradition of filling their baskets with brightly colored eggs hiddenfor them to find.

It seemed they came from everywhere, filling the “Riverwoods Carnival” last Saturday in Dyersburg as former Kentonian Brandon Norton, Pastor of Riverwoods Church and hiscongregation hosted a Free Kids’ Carnival. Offering free games, prizes and carnivaltype foods, the larger than expected crowd displayed big smiles and laughter while enjoying the carnival. By all accounts, the carnival was a tremendous success!

The congregation of First Baptist Church was blessed in many ways in their Easter morning service. The choir brought a magnificent Easter Cantata that was said to be “the best we’ve ever had.” In addition to a powerful Easter message brought by PastorBrian, they were blessed to witness a dedication of a baby as well as being witness to three believers’ baptisms. It was a very special Easter for

all in attendance and willbe long remembered.

Food for Thought: Many years ago He died on a tree, He died for you and He diedfor me. Upon the cross as He hung there, the weight of sin, He did bear. The love Hefelt for you and me, is what nailed Him to that rugged tree. Jesus bled and He did die, on the cross my Lord was crucified. They wrapped His body and they did lay, His bodyin a tomb on that awful day, And for three days while He was gone, the guards didn’t leave His body alone. They thought that they could guard Him there, and He would never go anywhere.

But three days later they checked to see. He was gone, how couldthis be?! Our Lord had risen on that third day, and He lives now in my heart to stay. He promised that I could ever be, in heaven with Him through eternity. I’m so glad He choseto die and for my sins He was crucified. But better still, I’m glad that He arose from thegrave and He lives in me!

And now upon this Easter Day, we can look back and we can say, The tomb is empty, oh, praise His name! Our Lord is alive and well!

Prayer List: Terry Sweat, Dewey Bradley, Liam Sims, Regina Miller, Jesse and ElaineDavidson, Bobby and Carol Primrose, Paul Lee Williams, Elmer and Virginia Williams, Paul Hughes, Henry Herane, Freda Lamar and Vickie Robinson.

At morning worship services we had an attendance of 144 and 101 in Sunday school.

The message for the morning service was from the book of John 11:25-26, “The Significance of the Resurrection.” Resurrection means to stand and should be at the heart of what we live. The Lord’s Supper is a remembrance of the Death, Burial and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. “Do You Believe” is one of the most impressive and hardest questions in the gospel.

Mary and Martha grieve for their brother Lazarus, and Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. For us, Jesus is the resurrection and the life, if we believe we will have eternal life with Jesus, a life stronger than death.

The message for the evening service came from the book of Philippians 1:6-10, “A Good Work Begun until the day of Jesus Christ.” We must try to strive for good works until Jesus comes again. We must have a church with good leaders; a willingness to share in matters of the heart, sharing in one another’s sacrifices and in defense of the Gospel, we must be able to see the right things and be honest in our endeavors, and we must produce fruit

by teaching, leading in the works of God.

Congratulations to Stephen Petty, who will be receiving his Master’s degree from the University of Oklahoma in Business Technology and Engineering. We are so proud of you; Stephen, and we are excited for Kelley and Stephen as they await the birth of their son.

Medications Used for Brugada SyndromeBrugada syndrome is characterized by an

abnormal heartbeat. It can lead to sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) or sudden cardiac death (SCD). An electrocardiogram (ECG) is used to diagnose the condition. A Brugada sign is an arrhythmia that the ECG can detect. The Brugada sign does not necessarily indicate Brugada syndrome. Persons with Brugada syndrome may experience fainting, palpitations, and irregular heartbeats. Other possible symptoms include syncope (sudden fainting), seizures, and memory loss. Brugada syndrome typically occurs during sleep.

An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) can be used for Brugada syndrome. The ICD is a small device that prevents SCD from occurring by regulating the electrical activity of the heart. An ICD is used for those at an increased risk of SCA or SCD. Isoproterenol (Isuprel) is a beta agonist medication that stops arrhythmias and may benefit certain persons with the condition who experience recurrent arrhythmias within a short period of time. Quinidine (Quinaglute) is an antiarrhythmic medication that may also be prescribed for this purpose. However, persons with Brugada syndrome typically should not take other types of antiarrhythmic medications, because they could actually worsen the condition.

Rutherford 1st Baptist By Kathrine Blankenship

What better way to celebrate Easter than to attend a baptism service. Tim Raybon was baptized at the first of the morning service; we rejoice for him and his family.

The church was full, with all the children home for some of mama’s cooking and attending church with us. The children “of all ages” blessed us with songs.

Sometime we could hear one of the youngest, the preacher’s son, sing louder than all the others; it was truly a blessing. Bro. Jason’s morning message was taken from Nehemiah 8:9-12.

There was no service Sunday evening. The WMU ladies are getting ready to have the WMU quarterly

meeting April 19th. The women on mission

will be having a bake sale to raise money to help end childhood hunger.

United Ministries will be hosting a singing at 1st Baptist Sunday night April 22.

I was looking through one of my cookbooks the other day and found this about “Dogwood and all the other winters.”

Dogwood is best known. It comes around Easter. Whippoorwill is when they start hollering and the ground is warm enough for bean planting. Blackberry is when the bushes bloom out. Mine are in full bloom. I guess it is time to get busy in the garden. Until next week, God bless.

The Grapevine by Sarah Skinner

It was a beautiful Easter Sunday, and we had a wonderful and spirit filled day at St. Paul beginning with sunrise service at 6 a.m. Pastor Pounds delivered the message; his topic “Jesus’ Death, Burial, and Resurrection,” was found in Luke 24:50-56. The male chorus provided the music. Breakfast was served after service.

In our 11 a.m. service we performed two skits, with the actors being several of the older and younger members directed by Tenthy Pounds. The Pitts sisters, Diondrea, Jasmine, Jae’da, and Jenna White were on the program along with the St. Paul Soul Survivors who did a fantastic job. Rev. Michelle Skinner delivered a very moving message. Her topic, “Are you running for Jesus?” was found in John 1:1, and 10-17. We rejoiced over Jason White rededicating his life to the Lord and uniting with St. Paul as his church home. We had several visitors including Zackery White who just recently returned from Saudi Arabia. We always welcome our visitors.

Minister Jasmin Williams was able to be in service Sunday, after receiving her kidney transplant. She reported she is feeling great, and it is so wonderful she does not have to be on dialysis anymore.

Love and sympathy is extended to the Bardwell family in the loss of their daughter, mother and sister, Wanda Bardwell Dobbins.

William and Bennie Edmonds and Nannie Taylor traveled to Panama City Beach, FL. last Wednesday to attend the wedding of Amber Edmonds Booker, which was held Saturday. We pray for their safe return.

Mary Warren, Cathy Bailey, Joyce Walker and their brothers attended the wedding of their brother, Kimberly Edward Bailey and Priscilla Joe Edwards in Milan Saturday.

Those having birthdays this week are: Leigh Ann Simpson, Stephan Flowers, Stephanie Flowers, Constance White, and Shequlla Simpson. We wish them happy birthday.

God bless and have a good week.

DYER NURSING HOME EMPLOYEE EASTER EGG TOSS – The winners of the Dyer Nursing Home employee egg toss were Dorothy Harris, Jessica Ford, Pam Askew, Velma Williams, Onda Hill, and Betty Jenkins.

North Union By Connie Cooper

I’m trusting everyone had a wonderful Easter Sunday. We had a crowd of close to ninety people. Having to arrive at the church a few hours earlier than normal didn’t seem to hinder anyone. Earliest to arrive were several of our men who had a wonderful breakfast prepared for the congregation. We had eggs, pancakes, biscuits, sausage, bacon and Jimmy Winter’s famous country ham.

We were blessed by a musical special by Lauren, Lindsey, Kasey and Jenny. They sang “The Blood-Bought Church”. Then Linda Carmoney presented her interpretation of “He’s Alive.” It was very moving and in fact had almost everyone on their feet by

the time she was finished. Bro. Chris Marks read Isaiah 53:1-12 which contains the prophesies describing Jesus’ crucifixion. He shared many passages establishing the truth of His death, burial and resurrection. Point one: Christ is Indeed Alive. Point Two: Is He Alive in Your Life? and the Third point: Come and Experience the Life of Christ.

After breakfast the congregation returned to the sanctuary for remembrance of our Lord’s sacrifice as we shared Communion. Bro. Don called us forward by families and the members partook of the sacraments while Jimmy Winters and Chris Marks prayed for each family. It was a sweet and sacred time for the

Nite Lite Theatre presents ‘Willy Wonka’

Golden Agers By Alice Ernest

Seventeen were in attendance Wednesday April 4 as the Golden Agers met in the Family Life Center of Dyer FBC for their regularly scheduled meeting. President Jerry Legg offered a blessing for the food. Everyone was in sorrow upon hearing that 36-year-old J.T. McKinney had passed away. Arland Holt ed the prayer for comfort for his family and also included prayer for improved health for Doug Gordon, Franklin Paschall, Rebecca Emroy, William Gentry McFarland, Mrs. Wren Abbott, Barbara Scott, Tom McKnight, other members’ relatives.

Kenny McEwen led the group in singing “He Keeps Me Singing” and “He Lives” with Alice Ernest’s piano accompaniment. To further emphasize the reason for celebrating Easter, Kenny sang, “Because He Lives” as his special of the morning.

Carlene Stephens gave a report of her cruise in the Caribbean, which she, her daughter, Linda Northup, Sandra Elliott, and her niece Vicki Medley enjoyed March 3-10.

Brother Michael Barnett, minister of youth and children of Dyer FBC, shared that he was delighted to share his favorite subject, as he talked about Jesus’ resurrection beginning in the 38th verse of the 19th chapter of John and extending into John 20. Joseph of Arimathea with

Nicodemus’ assistance placed the body of Jesus in his tomb, a borrowed tomb for Jesus; body. (But he wasn’t going to need it for long as we all know.) In the brief time left before 6 p.m. of Friday, the two men hurriedly wrapped the body in spices and linen cloth. Mary Magdalene coming to the grave early Sunday morning for further burial preparations became startled that the body was not in the tomb. When she alarmed Peter and John, they came running and found the stripes of linen cloth lying there, as well as, the napkin

for his head folded and lying by itself. The napkin’s being folded was identical to a message of the culture concerning the intent of a diner to return when he left the eating table. Folded thus Jesus meant that he would be back. And he remained on earth 40 more days appearing to 11 different people or groups of people, one appearance to over 500 people. The message for us though is that he’ll be back; he’s not through with us either. Meanwhile we need to celebrate the fact of his coming again. Easter is glorious.

KENNETH (KENNY) RUSSELL CRAIG

Kenny also leaves behind cousins, Lori Chaille Kelly of Memphis, TN. Jill Chaille Chamberlain of Olive Branch, MS, Jeff Burkett of Rutherford. Paul Houghton of Tuscon, AZ and his faithful cat Mr. Kitty of 10 years.

Kenny was born in Savannah, GA on July 19, 1973, at St. Joseph Hospital. He attended Memorial Day School in Savannah, GA and graduated from Humboldt High School in 1992. He attended University of Tennessee at Martin and earned his BS degree in Information Systems at University of Memphis in 1998.

ANNIE BELL ROBINSON LITTLETON

Kenton - Mrs. Annie Bell Robinson Littleton, age 80, of Kenton, passed from this life on April 5, 2012, at Gibson General Hospital of Trenton. Funeral services for Mrs. Littleton will be conducted on Sunday, April 8, at 3 p.m. in the chapel of Karnes and Son Funeral Home in Dyer with Bro. Billy Criswell and Bro. Tom Fortner officiating. Interment will follow in Cool Springs Cemetery of Trimble.

Mrs. Littleton was born March 12, 1932, in Ayers, Tennessee; the daughter of the late Leslie and Mary Neil Robinson. She was self-employed in child care. She was affiliated with the Assembly of God Church.

Mrs. Littleton is survived by one daughter, Louise Fout; one grandson, Timothy Shane Fout; two great-grandchildren, Timothy R. E. Fout, Adrian C. Fout; three sisters, Vera Worrell, Ruby Pike, Bettye Abrahamson; and one brother, Leffel Robinson.

She was preceded in death by her parents, and three brothers, L. E. Robinson, Paul Robinson and Acie Robinson.

The family will receive friends from 1-3 p.m. on Sunday, April 8. Karnes and Son Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Mrs. Annie Bell Robinson Littleton.

When you’re ready, please read Acts 12:4.

Let’s look and see what happened up to this point:

“Now about that time, Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church. And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.’ (Acts 12:1-2) This is Herod Agrippa and nephew of

Herod Antipas who had had John the Baptist beheaded.

As the king looks around, it’s reported to him that a group of religious officials were pleased that he’d murdered a man who was an apostle of Jesus the Christ. That group was very influential throughout the territory of king Herod Agrippa. This bad news for Peter, was good news to the king. So now he begins a plot to have the apostle Peter killed also. (Acts 12:3) The king wants to please men more than God. Such acts lead to murder. James and Peter are on the side of Christ Jesus. Where does God stand on your issues?

Suppose someone takes you before the court today and accuses you of being a follower of Jesus Christ. Would there be enough evidence to convict you of being Christian?

The government of the land was giving orders to infect the government of the church. The king has had an apostle of Christ Jesus murdered. That was James. (Acts 12:1 - 21)

And it came to pass. When the time was come that he should be received up, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, and sent messengers before his face and they went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said. Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? But he turned and rebuked them, and said, “Ye know not what manner spirit ye are of. For the son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” (Luke 9:51-55.) James and John were nicknamed the sons of thunder. I have no doubt that they kept that reputation by their preaching of the gospel, “the power of God unto salvation.” (Romans 1:16) That preaching has gotten James killed. Now that government has turned to Peter. Does the government know about the apostles too? The king ordered 16 men to guard one man, an apostle of Christ Jesus. The plot was to kill Peter after Easter. (Acts 12:1 - 4)

“Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name.” (Psalms 103:1)

Ever wonder how one could do that? The Lord blesses us abundantly in so many ways that we never even think about. Yet here, David wants to bless the Lord. How is it possible that a wretch like me could ever bless the Lord?

We had a glorious time in the Lord this past Sunday as we celebrated the life of Jesus Christ – our risen Lord and Savior. On this day two thousand years ago, there was a group of women who definitely blessed the Lord from the depths of their anguished souls.

In the 23rd chapter of Luke, we are given a description of the events out on hill Golgotha where Jesus was crucified with the criminals. In verse 53, the body of Jesus was removed from the cross, wrapped in linen and laid in the tomb. The verse reads, “And that day was the preparation, and the Sabbath drew on.” We go on to read that “the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulcher, and how his body was laid. And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments, and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandment.”

The Lord Jesus was dead. Brutally beaten and hung on a cross. He was in the tomb. Those women would have had every excuse to do what they pleased on the Sabbath. Yet, even with the crisis situation on their hands, “they rested the Sabbath day according to the commandment.” These women blessed the Lord.

“Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulcher, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.” (Luke 24:1) As soon as they possibly could, these women went right back to work – seeking the Lord. They rose up very early in the morning, and they went. They blessed the Lord

“And they found the stone rolled away.” (Luke 24:2) The Lord blessed them.

“And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments and as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen.” (Luke 24:4-6)

The angels then reminded the women of the things Jesus had said to them in Galilee concerning his death.

And when they remembered his words, they were moved to go and tell the apostles. The Bible tells us that the women’s words “seemed to them as idle tales.” (v.11) I can see that. I’m sure I would have said something like “yea, okay” and went about my business of praying for these crazy ladies. But there was one – oh, yes – there was that one wretch – that one sinful man who betrayed Jesus at the last and wouldn’t even claim that he knew who Jesus was. It was that very man who “arose and ran unto the sepulcher.” (Luke 24:12)

Old sinful Peter was the one, out of all those church folk, who ran to Jesus.

Peter blessed the Lord.We must bless the Lord

with our mouths. We must life our voice to Heaven each and every morning and cry out to Jesus. We have to lift our voice in praise – often. It’s how we get the victory over the enemy. We have to lift up holy hands toward Heaven and say I love you Lord – you stretched out your hands and were stripped naked on a cross for me so the very least I can do is lift my hands in worship no matter what everyone else round me thinks. We have to run to the cross with our sins and cast them t Jesus’ feet –again and again, sometimes until we finally learn to leave them and continue life’s journey without them. We must run to His Word to retrieve living water for ourselves more than just on Sundays. We can’t assemble certain things without an instrument manual that He

gave us.Jesus blessed those

women who blessed Him with their actions that day. Will you bless Him with yours this week?

Be people of prayer this week. Pray the spirit of religion loose the hold on our community and pray these drugs out of our community – pray, pray, pray. Come visit us at 27 New Bethlehem Rd. Wednesday at seven and Sundays at one. Most of you are out of church by then. Bless the Lord next Sunday and come fellowship. And remember, God told you that anything was possible so live your life believing it with all your heart.

Gibson EMC annual meeting

Treasure Hunters are coming to MilanBY DAVID MORGANSTAFF WRITER

Got Booty? If you have a coffee can full of old coins, an old guitar or maybe the costume jewelry your aunt gave you, it’s time to bring it out of hid-ing. This week, Treasure Hunt-ers will make a five day stop here and want to see what you have. These Treasure Hunt-ers aren’t armed with a shovel and metal detector, rather their weapon of choice is their exper-tise and the collectors they buy for. You see, these guys know all about diamonds, coins, an-tiques and collectibles, musical instruments and anything that’s

old. For five days they are ask-ing you to bring your booty and make your best deal. These guys pay cash for just about anything that’s old. The items they buy go straight to collectors all over the world. How much is a 1960 Gibson Les Paul worth? Well, to some, it might be worth a couple hundred dollars but to a serious collector it could be worth thou-sands, even ten’s of thousands. These guys are buying for these collectors. They pay more for the things their collectors want.

The event is free to attend and there is no obligation to sell anything. If it’s information you want, that won’t cost you a thing. But be prepared, as an of-

fer to purchase your treasures is highly likely. About eighty per-cent of the stuff that comes into the show is purchased by these hungry treasure hunters.

According to the Treasure Hunters I talked to, the wait time to get your items looked at is usually a half hour or less. Once there, your items will be examined, identified and an of-fer will quickly follow. Then it’s up to you…do I sell, do I hold out for more or do I walk? The whole thing sounds like a lot of fun and might put some jingle in your pocket. So dig up that boo-ty and head down to the show. You might have the treasure they have been looking for!

ABOVE A customer brought in his father’s coin collection that he had inherited. He was pleasantly surprised with his offer and decided to sell the collection. He said that the money would go towards a down payment on a house for his family.

What kind of things are they looking for?

I’m Tony, and I get asked this ques-

tion a lot. I usually say, “if it’s gold or

old, they will probably be interested in

it.” I know that’s a vague answer, so here’s a list that

might get you thinking:

Gold Jewelry, Costume Jewelry, Diamonds,

Silver Coins, Silver Dollars, Gold Coins, Old

Paper Currency, Old Wheat Pennies, Old Pock-

et Watches, Toys made before 1970, Wrist

Watches, Foreign Coins, Silver Bullion, Sterling

Silver, Barbie Dolls, Tonka Trucks, Coin Col-

lections, Advertising Signs, Old Guitars, Saxo-

phones, All Musical Instruments, Comic Books,

Historical Documents, Oil Paintings

Hi, I’m Dennis and I am a Treasure

Hunter. Silver is almost $35 per oz. Five

years ago, it was $2.50 per oz. If you

have old silver jewelry, tea sets, sterling

and old silver coins, I want to see it. I

buy hundreds of pounds of silver every

week. If it’s silver, please come and see me!

Hi, my name is David. I’ve been

collecting coins since I was a child. I

can’t wait to visit with you and exam-

ine your old coins and paper currency.

I will be honest and fair with you and

pay you as much as I can for your old

coins. I have purchased millions of dollars worth of

coins from people all over the world.

Did you know that the United States started mint-

ing coins in 1793? All coins are worth something:

old silver dollars, half dollars, quarters and dimes

made before 1965 are mostly silver and worth many

times their face value. A $20 gold coin from the ear-

ly 1900’s could be worth $2,000 or more to collec-

tors. If you have any older coins or paper currency,

please come see us. We will buy one coin or million

dollar collections.

NEWS IN BRIEFSTAFF REPORT

Ed Johnson, heavy equip-ment operator, was surprised when he pulled the giant scoop of earth from the basement he was digging. “What is that?” he thought. “An old whiskey barrel or a wooden box of some kind?” He jumped off his backhoe to in-vestigate. As he approached, his mind was racing. He could see that the wooden box was badly decayed and full of something. As he got closer, he could make out a sword, an old canteen and rem-nants of an old military uniform. While sifting through the box, he found a bugle, tattered papers and some military badges. It appeared to be the belongings of a soldier of some kind. He spent the rest of the day collecting and exam-ining the items he had found. He needed to nd out more.

The next morning he stopped by the local coffee shop to ask questions about the lot he was digging on. He stopped at the right place. Three elderly gentle-men were swapping stories as they did every morning. Ed ap-proached the group and asked if they were from the area. They all laughed and said “Who’s ask-ing?” Ed explained that he was building a new house on a lot he recently purchased and told them where it was. One gentlemen said, “Oh, you mean the old Nor-ris place? That place was demol-ished over 50 years ago. Been an empty lot ever since.” Ed was in-trigued—he hadn’t realized there had been a house there. “Place caught re in the 19 0’s. I was just a school boy at the time—no one was home, but the place was a total loss. The charred remains sat there for or 5 years before it was cleaned up. I walked past that place twice a day, ve days a week, back and forth from school. Went all the way to the 8th grade,” the fellow said with a smile. “After that, no one ever rebuilt on the lot. I’m glad to see somebody’s doing something with it. Go down and talk to Larry at the court house. He can pull the plat book and tell you all about it.” The old guy was right, Larry was a wealth of information. The original farm house was built by Elsie and Thomas Little back in 18 5. They moved out and sold to Elijah Miller in 1883. Then in 1916, the place was sold to Henry Norris who tore down the exist-ing two-room farm house and built a new house. That house burned down in 19 3.

All of this was great info, now what about the military items? Ed needed to nd out ex-actly what they were. When Ed learned that the Treasure Hunters were coming to town, he thought this would be his chance to learn more about the items he had found. The advertisement had said that the experts would offer advice on any antique and col-lectible items and they would do it for free. It also said that they would make offers to purchase items. He wasn’t interested in selling, but you never know. Hey, if the price is right, who knows?

Ed walked into the hotel where the show was and followed the signs to the meeting room with great anticipation. “My heart was actually beating at twice the normal rate,” he said. “As soon as I walked in I was welcomed to the show and given a number. They said it would be about 10 minutes until they would call my number. While I waited, I looked at all the unusual antiques on dis-play. There were old toys, coins, silver tea sets and old metal signs. There was even a sword similar to mine. My number was called and it was the moment I’d been waiting for. I would nally learn about the items I had found.”

Ed continued, “almost imme-diately after I sat down, Greg the antique guru was assigned to as-sist me said, ‘hey nice Civil War sword and bugle. Where did you get them?’ I told him my story and he said the family most likely buried the items in honor of the soldier who owned them, and who most likely fought in the Civil War.” The soldier’s uniform, or what was left of it, the sword and other items would have been dis-tributed by the Union Army. The items were that of an infantry soldier and dated at around 1863. Because a bugle was found, this soldier was most likely the com-pany bugle boy. Most buglers were young boys. Also, the hat in the collection would have t a very small head—that of a 12 to 1 year old boy.

Greg also explained that since the uniform, sword and oth-er items were together, the soldier most surely survived the war and returned home. Ed re ected that “learning about the items was very interesting and de nitely worth the trip. The entire collec-tion was valued at $2,200. Most of the value was the sword and the bugle. I decided to take pic-tures and sell the collection. I had a great time learning about it and thought it should be in a Civil War enthusiast’s collection. I’m actually having a small monu-ment made in honor of the nd and putting it at the exact location where it was found.”

IT’S TIME TO SELL!

Hi, I’m A r c h i e . I’ve been a Trea-sure Hunt-er since

1996. Back then, gold was around $225 per oz.—now it’s six times that. Gold has never been this high and may never be again in my lifetime.

Back in the 1980’s, gold and silver soared in price, but soon fell back to rock bottom. Well, it’s a seller’s market right now. The poor world economy and weak dol-lar have increased prices to all-time highs. My ad-vice to people is to sell now at the high side.

Many people have gold in their jewelry box and don’t realize how valuable it really is. If you’ve got old rings, necklaces, mismatched earrings or even gold teeth just sitting in a dresser drawer, dig it out and bring it in. You will be surprised just how much we can pay you.
