Deputies ‘Vaporized’ During Meth Bust
Two deputies with the Cannon
County Sheriff's Department required
medical treatment on Oct. 12 after
they were overcome by fumes from a
suspected meth lab.
Chief
Deputy
Bruce
Kirby,
Investigator Anthony Young and
Investigator Mike Cawthon went to 55
Thurston Young Road on that date to
serve an arrest warrant on David
McPeak.
Upon their arrival, McPeak was
observed sitting in the passenger seat
of Justin Tyler Barrett's truck and
Barrett was in the driver's seat.
Investigator Young told McPeak to
exit the truck and place his hands on
the hood. Investigator Young and
Investigator Cawthon each took
McPeak by an arm.
When Investigator Young started to
place McPeak in handcuffs, he pulled
loose from the investigators' grasp
and ran north through a wooded area.
Investigators Young and Cawthon,
along with Chief Deputy Kirby,
pursued McPeak while Barrett
remained at the residence.
Deputy Eric Moss arrived at the
residence, walked around, and
observed lithium batteries in a burn
pile. The lithium strips had been
removed from the batteries. Deputy
Moss was also able to smell an odor

The Cannon County Board of
Education is ready to turn up
the heat on Trane.
School Board members asked
Director of Schools Barbara
Parker to contact the Board's
attorney and have a deadline
set for Trane to fix continuing
problems with the HVAC
system at Woodbury Grammar
School, during the October
meeting of the Cannon County
Board of Education at the
Cannon County Courthouse
Thursday (Oct. 13).
Parker and Board members
Chris Blackburn, Shannon
Davenport, Randy Gannon,
Kathy Hyatt and Mike
Mayfield all were present.
Problems with the HVAC
and building management
systems could cause three to
four classrooms to be without
heat as cooler weather
approaches. Those same rooms
have
been
without
air
conditioning since the start of
school, according to Woodbury
Grammar School Principal
Bonnie Patterson.
Patterson said school officials
purchased fans from local
businesses to accommodate the
cooling issue during the outset
of classes beginning in August;
however, the only solution for
the winter season is to conduct
classes in other areas with heat
if the problem is not resolved.

Cannon County Sheriff's Deputies
discovered more than just stolen property
when they visited an address on Twin
Oaks Drive on Oct. 6.
Sheriff's Investigator Anthony Young
said officers went to that address, the
residence of James Lee McPeak, after
receiving information there might be
stolen property at the location.
The deputies did in fact find property
which had been reported stolen out of
Rutherford County in December of last
year, and also found an alleged methmaking operation.
"We
went
there
looking for stolen
property and while we
were looking we found
what appeared to be
the components of a
meth lab," Investigator
Young said.
Items
recovered
MC PEAK
included a custom
special Chopper Motorcycle valued at
approximately $45,000, a Polaris fourwheeler valued at over $5,000 and a Ruger
rifle valued at $300. Investigator Young
said the owners of the property were
contacted and identified the items which
belonged with them.
McPeak was charged with Theft Over
$10,000, Theft Under $500, Manufacture of
Methamphetamine and Maintaining a
Dwelling
to
Manufacture
Methamphetamine.
Total bond was set at $321,000. Initial
court date is Nov. 1.
It's the second time in the last few
months McPeak has been charged with

Man Booted From Probation Office Arrested For DUI
A man who was kicked out of the local
probation office for drinking was charged
with DUI on Oct. 5.
Cannon County Sheriff’s Deputy
Brandon Gullett reported he was on his
way home on that date when he observed
a small vehicle headed toward him on
Highway 53 South. The vehicle then made
a sharp turn into the Cannon Market lot.
As Deputy Gullett got closer the vehicle
pulled out in front of him.
The deputy then observed the interior
light come on inside the vehicle the as it
veered
into
the
opposite lane of travel.
He then pulled in
behind the vehicle as it
took
off
going
southbound on 53S.
Deputy
Gullett
pursued the vehicle
south
toward
ERQUHART Manchester at speeds
ranging from 80 to 100 mph before getting
it to stop at Pelham’s Auto Salvage.
Upon making contact with the driver,
Richard Wayne Erquhart, 2639 Eugene
Reed Rd., Woodbury, Deputy Gullett could
detect an odor of an intoxicating beverage
coming from the vehicle and Erquhart.
The deputy asked Erquhart where he
was going in a such a hurry, to which
Erquhart stated he was coming from the
probation office in Woodbury. Erquhart
said he was in probation for domestic
assault.
Deputy Gullett asked Erquhart if he had

Jail Officer ‘Rinses’ Morphine Pills Out Of Shampoo Bottle
Two Murfreesboro women have
been charged after they allegedly
attempted to get morphine pills to an
inmate in the Cannon County Jail via
a shampoo bottle.
Cynthia Ann Ennis, 4962 Bradyville
Pike, Murfreesboro and Jessica
Ramey, 941-A Twin Oak Dr.,
Murfreesboro, were each charged
with Introduction of Contraband into
a Penal Institution and Delivery of a
Schedule II Controlled Substance by
Cannon County Sheriff's Deputy Eric
Moss.
On Oct. 8 at approximately 3:30
p.m., Deputy Moss was informed by
Corrections Officer Erin Fann that she
had discovered contraband in a
shampoo bottle that had been left at
the jail for an inmate by someone that
had just left from visitation.
Officer Fann informed Deputy Moss
of the vehicle that was being driven
and that it was leaving the jail at that
time. Deputy Moss was able to make
contact with the vehicle at Stones
River Hospital and asked the driver,
Ennis, to accompany him back to the
sheriff's department. He escorted

Ennis and a passenger, Ramey, back to

lobby.
Officer Fann pulled five capsules,
which were later determined to be
morphine, from the shampoo bottle.
At that point Deputy Moss placed
Ennis under arrest.
The grandmother of Ramey's infant
child, Lisa Bailey, arrived at the jail
and stated to Deputy Moss that she
had heard things around the house
about Ramey being mixed up with
prescription drugs. Bailey said Ramey
was buying and selling drugs and that
she had heard Ramey state it was the
only way she could make money.
Bailey also said Ramey knew that
narcotics were being brought to the
inmate and that this was not the first
time it had occurred. Bailey said she is
the mother of the inmate the narcotics
were bring brought to.
Ramey was then arrested and both

Country Music Salutes Veterans Nov. 11
After years of being out of the celebrity
spotlight, country singer Jeannie C. Riley is
returning to center stage, this time to benefit
wounded and ailing military veterans.
It was the song "Harper Valley PTA" that
propelled the singer to meteoric singing fame in
the 1960s.
Now, it's "patriotism" for American soldiers
and their families credited with Jeannie C.'s
decision to leave semi-retirement to appear at a
benefit show - Country Music Salute To Soldiers,
7-9 p.m.- Nov. 11 (Veterans Day) in Crossville,
Tenn.
The benefit is to raise funds for a Fisher House
(like a Ronald McDonald house) to serve ailing
and wounded veterans, and families, at no
charge, as they're being treated at VA hospitals
in Nashville and Murfreesboro.
Other notables scheduled for the benefit
include nationally-recognized musician Peter
Miller and The Country Classics Band, lead
vocalist Bree Davis, regionally well-known
Gospel singer "T" Shurber along with retired
Army Colonel Thomas B. Vaughn, noted Upper
Cumberland radio talk show host and
newspaper columnist, serving as master of
ceremonies.
Musicians, who comprise Miller's band,
include drummer Bryan Sutherland, pianist
Floyd Bledsoe (formerly with the Mandrells),
lead guitar, Dennis Lail, (formerly with Eddie
Rabbit), vocalist Connie Davis of Gatlinburg's
Smokey Mountain Jubilee, steel guitarist Brian
Powell (formerly with Johnny Paycheck and
Merle Haggard), and bass, Brent Gresham.
"We're honored to have Jeannie C. Riley
coming to Crossville's Stone High School
Auditorium to help honor the soldiers, plus her
uncle, Johnny Moore, himself a country music
legend who resides at Crossville," credited
Cumberland Mountain resident Peter Miller
recognized nationally for his creative music and
charitable productions.
"Since Fisher House is rated one of the top five
most effective charities in the U.S. with more
than 96 cents of every donated dollar going on
actual construction costs, we're honored as part
of the country music industry to donate our time
and talents…"
"On behalf of the Tennessee Fisher House
Foundation, we're grateful not only to Jeannie
C., but to the entire professional cast of country
music professionals who are donating their time
and celebrity talents on behalf of building this
Fisher House on historic Alvin C. York Medical
Center grounds at Murfreesboro," credited Lt.
Col. Hooper Penuel, Air Force/National Guard
retiree.
Penuel is a board member of the Tennessee
Fisher House Foundation centered in Nashville
and is serving as co-coordinator of this benefit
with retired newspaperman/Fisher House board
member Dan Whittle, publicist for "Country
Music Salute to Soldiers."

America/Cumberland Plateau Chapter 1015,"
Penuel projected. "We cannot thank the Vietnam
Vets and the Crossville community enough,
including the Family Ties Restaurant, for their
support of Fisher House."
"We don't know what to expect when the fans
hear Jeanie C. belt out the spirited words 'the
day my Mama socked it to the Harper Valley
PTA,'" Whittle added. "It's a chance to witness
history being made by patriot Jeannie C. Riley
and her historic song."
Stone High School Auditorium is visible along
Interstate 40 in Crossville, and can be accessed
easily at Exit 320.
"We're also honored to announce the show will
be emceed by retired Col. Vaughn, a patriot who
has a history of helping raise thousands of
dollars for multiple charities in the Upper
Cumberland region," Penuel confirmed.
Jeannie C. Riley described how her own health
issues also helped motivate her to help others.
"Many fans don't know that I nearly died from
the depths of deep depression," Jeannie C.
accounted. "God has miraculously spared my
life for a reason…one of those being of assistance
in this Fisher House cause that will benefit
countless military families in their time of need.

Report From D.C.
House Passes The
Columbia, Panama
and South Korea Free
Trade Agreements
Passage of these three trade
agreements is a moment over
five years in the making and
one that can create thousands
of jobs in the United States
without adding a single cent to
the deficit. According to the
president’s own estimates,
these agreements could create
and support up to 250,000
American jobs.
The U.S. International Trade
Commission estimates that our
trade
agreements
with
Colombia, Panama and South
Korea could add over $10
billion to our nation’s Gross
Domestic Product. Put simply,
these Free Trade Agreements
are American jobs bills.
In Tennessee alone, there are
over 780,000 jobs supported by
trade.
These agreements
would give job creators and
American exporters the ability
to compete abroad, growing
their businesses and selling
their products on a fairer
playing field with competitor
nations.
For too long, the United
States has stood behind other
nations when it comes to trade.
While these trade agreements
lapsed, other countries have
been all too happy to step up
and take U.S. market share.
Canada has taken the market
on wheat, and we’re behind
Argentina in exporting corn,
wheat and soybeans to
Colombia.
I hear from my farmers back
home and they tell me all they
want to do is compete, and
today we are making that
possible.
Because of these trade
agreements,
manufacturers
and auto makers will see their
exports increase by millions of
dollars.
The more U.S.
products purchased overseas,
the more jobs we create here at
home.

It didn't take first-time
fisherman Jordan Nabi, age 9 of
Smyrna, long to "nab" his first
"monster fish."
OK, it was a hand-sized
perch, but that's part of the
"high adventure" when you
have crisp and cool 65-degree
early morn weather, glasssmooth water on a pristine
little lake, lots of fishing worms
and 35 excited children who
have never fished before.
A few moments later,
Jordan's Boys and Girls Club
buddies Alecia Chames, 11,
and Mahlon Shaffer, 10,
excitedly snatched their "first
catfish" out of Couchville Lake,
where only non-motorized
boats, canoes and kayaks are
permitted.
"This is so much fun," little
Miss Chames chimed.
"I couldn't wait to get here to
fish this morning," echoed
Audrey Eza.
Eleven-year-old Courtney
Steward revealed it was not her
first fishing rodeo.
"I caught a barracuda before
when we went to the ocean,"
she shared confidently from
beneath the brim of her
Scouting cap.
It was a "picture-perfect
golden" 2011 autumn day for
the fifth annual John Stuart
Fishing For Kids event at Long
Hunter State Park.
Sometimes, it takes a
community to educate children
in the ways of Mother Nature,
as evidenced by Nashville
Opry Mill's Outdoor World
Bass Pro Shops' gracious
donation of 50 new Zebco rods
and reels for permanent use of
future Friends of Long Hunter
State Park-sponsored Fishing
for Kids' events.
"Our children this year came
from the Boys & Girls Club of
Smyrna,
which
does
a
remarkable work with children
of Middle Tennessee," assessed
Fishing For Kids organizer Dan
Whittle.
"And this year, the event
would not have been possible,
without the generous donation
of the up-scale rods and reels
through Bass Pro Operations'
Manager Jarron Ritchie and his
team at the Opry Mills Store,"
noted event coordinator Jeff
Brookman
from
Smyrna
Parkway Baptist Church. "Our
old rods and reels were worn
out to the point our event was
uncertain for future years…"
Others sponsoring teams
included Friends of Long
Hunter, a non-profit park
support group, O'Charley's
Restaurant of Smyrna and
Parkway Baptist Church of
Smyrna.
"Fishing for Kids is one of the
most important resources we
have at our park for children to
learn the joys and thrills of
catching
their
first
unforgettable fish," described
Long Hunter Ranger Jeff
Buchannan. "The volunteers
and groups annually average
having anywhere from 35 to 50
children
from
Davidson,
Wilson,
Cannon
and
Rutherford Counties who have
never experienced the thrill of
catching fish."
Fishing can work up a hearty
appetite.
"We're here every year to
serve hamburgers and drinks
to the children and volunteers,"
confirmed
O'Charley's
manager Kevin "KJ" Jones, who
was assisted by "Action"
Jackson Slaybaugh.
"We're always appreciative of
those who stage this Fishing
For Kids," noted Boys & Girls
Club bus driver Larry Jernigan
of Murfreesboro. "The children
enjoy it every year. The food
from
O'Charley's
was
awesome."
The event has a long history
of serving children, some of
whom come from low-income
families.
Whittle’s Words
Of Wisdom
DAN WHITTLE
"We began fishing rodeos for
kids two decades ago on Percy
Priest Lake," described Fishing
For Kids' namesake John
Stuart, father of country music
super star Marty Stuart. "Our
family has always supported
events
that
encouraged
children in the ways of nature.
Plus, we want to show them an
example how joyful and fun it
can be do events for benefit of
other people, an important
principle in life."
Longtime Smyrna resident
Stuart likes to share about his
TV-star son attending one of
the first "Fishing For Kids"
events back when it started on
Percy Priest Lake in the 1990s.
"One day, Marty took time
out
from
travel
and
appearances, and was casting
and helping bait the hooks of
small children, when one of his
casts ended up catching a duck
by its bill," John shared with a
chuckle. "That ol' duck went to
'quacking' and Marty went to
rocking the boat while asking,
'Dad, what do I do with this
duck on the end of my line?' I
advised my son, simply: 'Reel
that ol duck in' as it was now
flying around and around over
our boat by this time, trying to
get that fish hook out of its
mouth."
They had to cut the fishing
line to free the duck, but John's
long-time friend, the late Paul
King, a true Tennessee
outdoorsman, later recaptured
the duck, and removed the
hook from its beak.

I love this time of the year.
October has always been
special for me and one reason
could be because of the fact it
was the month of my birth.
Birthdays are pretty big events
in our family and coming from
a dairy family we “milk” them
for everything they are worth.
The opposite of birth is death,
which also has somewhat of a
celebration, but at least during
the birth celebration the person
being celebrated gets to enjoy
the food. And I guess it is the
food that I do really enjoy.
We also have the changing of
the
leaves,
the
cooler
temperatures, as well as
hayrides and festivals going on
now, but it is also chili, wiener
roasts and molasses time just to
name a few fall favorites. It all
started for me when the
September Equinox occurred
and the sun rose directly in the
east and set directly in the west
on that day; I started thinking
about autumn farm parties.
You know the kind, those with
lots of pumpkins and straw
sitting around, along with
happy scarecrows inviting you
in for some cider and molasses
cookies to warm the cockles of
your heart, wherever that may
be. I love fall days down on the
farm and the festivals that hit
this time of the year are what a
harvest moon and a corn shock
are created for. The only
problem associated with this
time of the year is that there are
not enough Saturdays to fit all
the festivals I want to go to in
my schedule.
There is one I try to attend
each year and I suggest you do
the same. It is located at the
Oscar Farris Agricultural
Museum in Nashville. The
annual Music and Molasses
Festival takes place this year
October 15 through 16 at the
museum located on the
grounds
of
Ellington
Agriculture
Center
in
southwest Nashville. It is a
special event that draws a large
number of people from the
Nashville area, as well as
across the state. During the
two days of the Music and
Molasses Festival, visitors have
the opportunity to see and
taste molasses being cooked
roof. It contains a collection of
thousands of agricultural hand
tools, implements, artifacts,
clothing, buggies, wagons, and
just about anything used in
over a wood fire by the
Guenther family from Muddy
Pond, up in Overton County. A
horse is used to press the juice
from the cane and then the
molasses is slowly cooked and
skimmed off to produce the
final product.
The grounds contain several
log cabins and even a log
schoolhouse complete with the
hickory stick over in the corner
to keep kids in order. There is
even an old-fashioned lye soap
making demonstration outside
a log cabin along with folks
dressed in period costumes to
make the day even more
authentic. That lye soap could
come in handy this year to help
keep the flu virus at bay.
There
are
spinning
demonstrations, wood carving,
herb garden information, rides
in buggies, broom making, and
lots of food and plenty of old
time music. It is two days truly
made for a celebration of fall
and a chance to get your
cockles warmed as I have said
before.
If you have never been to the
Oscar Farris Agricultural
Museum then you have missed
out on a lot of agricultural
history all gathered under one
agriculture production from
days gone by. The collection is
housed in a huge white barn,
with two levels of exhibits. The
Tennessee Agriculture Hall of
Fame is also located in the
museum. It allows you the
opportunity to see how some
individuals have made major
contributions to the Tennessee
agriculture success story.
There is not an admission fee to
see the museum, and it would
surely be worth your time to
visit one of the best agriculture
information sites in the state.
The museum is under the
direction of Anne Dale who has
accomplished a major feat. She
presents, for the novice, what
farming was like in Tennessee
from the time the area was
settled, up until the era of the
introduction of the tractor.
It is molasses time in
Tennessee! So cook up some
biscuits with creamy butter
and let’s get to soppin’. Fall is
in the air!

Haslam Eases Truck Rules To Help Farmers
NASHVILLE – Gov. Bill
Haslam recently signed an
executive order allowing
haulers of hay to carry larger
loads in their trucks as long as
they
observe
safety
requirements. The order is in
response to drought and
extreme weathers conditions in
Texas and across the Southeast,
which has left some farmers
without access to hay for
livestock.
“It’s been a tough year for
farmers across the Southeast,
and we want to be responsive
to their needs,” Haslam said.
“This order will ensure that
much needed hay can be
shipped safely and without
delay through Tennessee and
along our major interstate
corridors.”
Gov. Haslam’s executive
order increases the gross
vehicle weight to 95,000
pounds, not to exceed 20,000
pounds per axle load, for semi
truck/trailers. The order also
increases the height of trailer
loads to 13 feet, 6 inches and
the width to a maximum of 14
feet during daylight hours.
The increase in width allows
haulers to transport standard
six- to seven-foot round hay
bales side by side, increasing
the capacity being hauled per
truck without a permit. The
executive order is in effect for
60 days.
Agriculture Commissioner
Julius Johnson said the
governor’s decision is an
important
one
for
the
agricultural community.
“The governor’s order will
help farmers in our own state
who may need hay, and it will
ensure that market supply and
demand is met,” Johnson said.
“Tennessee farmers have seen
their share of weather related
problems this year, and I
applaud the governor for
recognizing that farming is a
tough but important business
in our state and across the
region.”

SHOE DRIVE: Soles4Souls Inc. has committed to collect and
distribute shoes to people living in extreme poverty and
recovering from natural disasters. The shoe charity provides one
pair of shoes to a person in need every 7 seconds. Since 2005,
Soles4Souls has distributed more than 13 million pairs of shoes
because of the generosity and commitment of people and
organizations like you. Soles4Souls believes partners like Cannon
County will challenge others to become a force of change by
helping the charity cater to the evolving needs of the global
community. The shoe charity recognizes its success is the result of
individuals and industry partners such as our community who
clean out closets and warehouses so that individuals around the
world can have a better life through American's excess.
Soles4Souls will be collecting your new or gently worn footwear
and/or donations to make a tangible difference through the gift of
shoes. Every donation will support the charity's initiative to
distribute shoes to those in need. "With tragedies such as the
earthquakes in countries like Haiti and Japan, on top of the
enormous needs elsewhere, we can use the estimated 1.5 billion
shoes taking up space in the closets of ordinary people to change
the world one pair at a time," said Founder and CEO of
Soles4Souls, Wayne Elsey. Elsey added, "We need partners like
Cannon County to get behind Soles4Souls. Donating shoes is one
of the most simple, yet profound acts you can do, because it will
greatly improve someone's life in the most difficult of times."

A committee which was
formed to try and prevent a

intersection of Bradyville Road
and John Bragg Highway has
begun circulating a petition to
garner support for their effort.

reached
at
[email protected] and
(615) 563-1459, and Bonnie
Thomas, [email protected]
and (615) 563-4128.
The petition reads:
"We the undersigned citizens
of Cannon County, TN ask that
state and local approval for the
proposed Rock Quarry to be
located at 962 Bradyville Road
Woodbury, TN be DENIED
AND
THE
PROJECT
STOPPED.
"The negative impact on
property values, potential
structural damage, increased
highway
deterioration,
reduced safety for area
children
(there
is
an
elementary school within .8
tenths of a mile from the site),
dramatic increase in heavy
truck traffic at an already
hazardous intersection, and
deterioration in the quality of
life for residents (a thriving
residential community is .2
tenths of a mile from the
proposed location) will be
significant.
"If you believe as we do that
locating another landscape
scarring rock quarry on John

Methamphetamine, and Possession of
Drug Paraphernalia by Woodbury
Police Officer John Fesmire.
The WPD received a tip that

• Depending upon which side of the
law you are on, a Woodbury man was
either in the wrong place at the wrong
time or the right place at the right time
Oct. 8.
For Jeremy Dean Sissom, 319 Jay
Circle, being at 905 Roach Ave. late in
the night on that date was the wrong
place and time.
For the Woodbury Police Department,
it was the right place and time to arrest
Sissom.
During the bust of an alleged meth lab
and the subsequent arrest of two
persons, James Chadwick Pemberton
and Marissa R. Gilley, at that address of
Oct. 8, Sissom was found to be in
possession of marijuana by Woodbury
Patrolman John Fesmire.
Upon consenting to a search, Sissom
freely told an officer about the
marijuana, according to the arrest
warrant.
Initial court date for Sissom is Nov. 15.

Parsley instructed Richardson to go back to her vehicle and for
her and Palmer to leave the area.
Richardson continued to argue with Sissom, who once again
pointed the shotgun at the deputy. Deputy Parsley then notified
Cannon County Dispatch that a person had pointed a shotgun at
him and he may need assistance. Richardson went back to her
vehicle after Palmer advised her to do so.
Deputy Parsley then worked his way back to the driver's side of
his patrol unit while keeping watch on Sissom, who at that time
pointed the shotgun toward the ground.
The deputy and the two women then cautiously left the
residence and went to Ivy Bluff Church, where they were met by
Sgt. Randy Neal. They returned to the residence but by that time
Sissom had absconded. Richardson was allowed to retrieve her
property.
When Sissom turned himself in on Oct. 10, he was served the
warrants and a 12-hour hold was placed on him. His bond was set
at $34,000. He was appointed the public defender during General
Sessions Court on Oct. 11 and his next court appearance was set
for Nov. 1.
theft. He allegedly stole a red 1994 Toyota pickup truck valued at
approximately $3,000 from James Bishop of Morrison and was
arrested on Aug. 25. He has a Nov. 8 court date on that charge.
Participating in the investigation and arrest in addition to
Investigator Young were Sheriff Darrell Young, Chief Deputy
Bruce Kirby, and deputies Brandon Gullett and Mike Smith.
"Anytime you have a problem with climate control in a
classroom it is a major issue," Patterson said. "Students need to be
able to concentrate and be free of as many distractions as possible.
We have moved classes into any available space that we can find.
When we do this, teachers must change whatever plans they have
for the day to accommodate the new environment. My teachers
and students have been very patient and understanding, but I
think we are running out of space and patience."
The affected classroom include a fifth-grade classroom, speech
and guidance. The rooms are in different areas throughout the
school, Patterson said.
The problem with the HVAC at Woodbury Grammar has
actually been an ongoing issue for as many as five years,
according to maintenance director John Passenger, who has
recently been involved with Trane during an onsite visit.
Trane believed the system was not working because of poor
water flow but that scenario was proven incorrect. Passenger
revealed tests indicated water flow to Woodbury Grammar was
"almost a perfect rating."
Based on tests, Passenger believes the problem is with the
computerized system that repeatedly kicks the system off.
Parker said accommodations have been made in previous years
to assure heating in all rooms at Woodbury Grammar School;
however, Trane has said not to continue in that manner.
"We have always gone in there and made accommodations,"
Parker said. "We had someone fix or we have called Trane to come
fix it. We have purchased new compressors and new unit. We
have replaced and replaced and replaced. We are to the point
where Trane has said it doesn't matter how many compressors
you put in that unit. They said it will not work because there were
other issues.
"Now that Trane is telling us not to do that, then we need to find
out what we need to do to permanently fix the system and get
that building up to par."
In addition to the rooms with no heat or air, Patterson said
several rooms are running at "half capacity."
Patterson also said Trane had made unscheduled visits and
entered the school without coming through the office.
Board Chairman Randy Gannon encouraged Patterson to call
the Cannon County Sheriff's Department and have Trane
representatives arrested for trespassing if they show up
unannounced and without coming through the office in the
future. Trane had been charging for the unscheduled visits,
according to officials.
"If they are getting into the building without coming through
the office they are trespassing," Gannon said. "We do have a
policy that all visitors come through the front door and sign in at
the office. In the future if they enter the building without coming
through the front door and reporting, I would encourage you to
call the Sheriff's Department."
Board members were outraged the ongoing problem has not
been resolved and that Trane has had little sense of urgency in its
response to the issue.
Parker said she believes they are closer to identifying the
problem and, thus, a solution.
"We have narrowed down what the problem is not," Parker said.
"At first (Trane) thought it was a water flow issue but now they
have ruled that out. We have narrowed it down to where it is a
communication issue with the computer system."
Parker said she will continue to make repeated calls to Trane
officials to expedite the process. In the meantime, Board members
also want to pursue a deadline for having the problem corrected.
In other business, the Board unanimously approved Cannon
County High School's Amateur Radio Club's request to place a
40-foot tower outside Room 115 - classroom of teacher and club
sponsor William F. Curtis.
The tower was donated by an individual in Smyrna, Curtis said.
It will be attached to the school and provide greater
opportunities for the 10 individuals in the club.
Curtis said all 10 members have an opportunity to become fully
licensed amateur radio operators by the FCC. He also said there
would be no cost or upkeep.
Patterson received approval to apply for two grants. One is a
$150 grant through Middle Tennessee Gas and the other is a
Thinkfinity grant offered by Verizon Wireless for $5,000. The $150
grant assists with funding for the chili supper for the Harvest
Festival.
The $5,000 grant would fund an after-school tutoring program
for the Grammar School. The program would reach up to 14
students on a rotating basis. Patterson said it would not take away
from the After School Reach Program in any way.
The Board also adopted changes to its lice policy by a 4-1 vote,
with Gannon voting no.
The changes include a copy of board policy along with a copy
of the treatment and prevention of head lice document being sent
home to explain the condition, requirements for readmission and
deadlines for satisfactory completion of treatment. A student will
be expected to have met all requirement for treatment and return
to school not later than two days after being sent home.
After a student has been sent home they must provide proof of
treatment, in the form of a box top, for readmission. It could also
include a satisfactory examination by school health officials,
designee or teacher or staff member of the school.
Patterson also commended Blackburn, Davenport and Director
of Transportation Lisa Black for recent honors received for
outstanding work in their field during workshops/conventions.
The next regular Board Meeting will be Nov. 10 at the Cannon
County Courthouse at 6 p.m.

Chief Deputy Kirby and Investigator Young arrived back at the
residence and they, along with Deputy Moss, observed that the
front door was partially open.
Chief Deputy Kirby announced that they were with the sheriff's
department and made entry. Upon entering, they were
confronted with a strong chemical smell, consistent with that of a
meth lab, and what appeared to be a vapor cloud. They
immediately exited the residence.
Chief Deputy Kirby and Investigator Young became ill from
inhaling the fumes within the residence and began to vomit. An
ambulance was called to the scene and both were taken to the
hospital after first undergoing decontamination at the location.
Rutherford County deputies arrived on the scene with a K-9
and attempted to track McPeak. The K-9 lost McPeak's scent at a
creek and the search was called off.
Sergeant Randy Neal and Deputy Moss found a can of Coleman
fuel and a HCL generator, items commonly used in the
manufacture of methamphetamine, in the edge of the woods
across from the residence.
Reserve Deputy Grady George, wearing a Tyvek suit and
oxygen tank, entered the residence and brought out a backpack
containing lye, cold packs, clear tubing, Coleman fuel and bottles.
Barrett and Cynthia Denise Thomas returned to the residence at
this time.
The back door and windows were opened to allow the
residence to ventilate and Sheriff Darrell Young and Deputy
Travis Turney entered. Sheriff Young recovered more lithium
batteries from a trash can which also had the lithium stripped out
of them and a coffee filter which contained a white powdery
substance.
Barrett and Thomas were both transported to the sheriff's
department. Thomas was charged with Initiating the Process to
Manufacture Methamphetamine, Maintaining a Dwelling for the
Manufacture of Methamphetamine and Accessory After the Fact
because she and Barrett had been made aware McPeak was
wanted and they were harboring him.
Barrett was charged with Initiating Methamphetamine
Manufacture and Accessory After the Fact. Both he and Thomas
were then turned over to Booking.
Deputy Moss was later informed that Barrett had brought a
clear plastic sandwich bag, containing approximately 10 pills,
into the jail, and that Thomas had smuggled in a cell phone and
cell phone battery. Both were subsequently charged with
Introduction of Contraband into a Penal Institution.
Thomas' bond was set at $252,000, while Barrett's was set at
$79,000. Both are schedule to make their initial court appearance
on Nov. 1.
Thomas was already facing charges of Promotion of

Disorderly Teen Charged Again
Four days after pleading
guilty to disorderly conduct, a
local teen was slapped with the
same charge on Oct. 8.
Cannon County Sheriff’s
Deputy
Steve
McMillen
responded to 306 Crimson Tide
Lane on that date after a caller
to 911 stated she needed an
officer.
When Deputy McMillen and
Sheriff Darrell Young arrived
at the address they were met
by Jennifer Deese, the mother
of Gregory Elliott, in the front
yard.
Deese stated that Elliott was
about to run out the back door
with a gun. Then, at that time,
Elliott came out the front door.
He was being extremely loud
and would not listen to any
commands given by officers.
Elliott was told numerous
times to calm down but
refused. He was then placed in
handcuffs by Sheriff Young
and advised he was under
arrest for disorderly conduct.
As Deputy McMillen spoke
with Elliott, he could smell an
odor about him consistent with
alcohol. The deputy asked
Elliott if he had been drinking
and Elliott said he had four
beers and stated he was 18
years old.
After placing Elliott in his
patrol unit, Deputy McMillen
spoke with Deese. She said her
son was going to leave with
Bubba Nichols and the he was
going to take a .22 rifle with
him. She also stated they
started arguing because she
didn’t want him to leave with
the gun.
Deese said as they were
arguing she was holding the
gun between her legs, with the
end of the barrel pointing
upward. Deese said at that
point Elliott put the end of the
barrel under his chin and told
her to go ahead and shoot him.
Deese later refused to give a
written statement.
Elliott was transported to the
county jail and served
warrants
for
disorderly
conduct
and
underage
consumption of alcohol. Total
bond was set at $3,000. Initial
court date is Nov. 1.

in jail. That arrest came as the
result of a Sept. 29 incident at
his home.
Elliott is also facing charges
of assault in a separate incident
and is scheduled to appear in
court on Oct. 18 on that charge.

WOODLEE
Warren Woman
Indicted Locally
On TennCare
Fraud Charge
NASHVILLE – A Warren
County woman is charged
with TennCare Fraud in
Cannon County, accused of
using the state’s public
healthcare insurance program
to obtain prescription drugs,
which she later sold.
The Office of Inspector
General (OIG), assisted by the
Warren and Cannon County
Sheriff’s officers, announced
the arrest of Jennifer D.
Woodlee, 29, of Dover.
Woodlee was indicted on
one count of TennCare fraud
for presenting a prescription
for
the
painkiller
Hydrocodone, using TennCare
to pay for the prescription
while intending to sell a
portion of it.
“This is another example of
local law enforcement working
with the OIG when TennCare
fraud is suspected,” Inspector
General Deborah Faulkner
said. “Anyone who spots
TennCare fraud can contact
the OIG and we can work
together to stop this crime.”
The TennCare fraud charges
against Woodlee could result
in a two year sentence, if
convicted. District Attorney
General William C. Whitesell,
Jr. is prosecuting.
Woodlee was arraigned in
Cannon County Circuit Court
on Oct. 6. Her next court date
is Nov. 10.
The OIG, which is separate
from TennCare, began full
operation in February 2005
and has investigated cases
leading to over $3.5 million
paid in restitution and
recoupment to TennCare, with
a
total
estimated
cost
avoidance of over $173 million
for the TennCare program,
according to latest figures. To
date, nearly 1,500 people have
been charged with TennCare
fraud.
Through the OIG Cash for
Tips Program established by
the Legislature, Tennesseans
can get cash rewards for
TennCare fraud tips that lead
to convictions. Anyone can
report suspected TennCare
fraud by calling 1-800-4333982 toll-free from anywhere
in Tennessee, or log on to

A Woodbury man found
passed out in a truck was
charged with DUI on Oct. 8.
Cannon County Sheriff's
Deputy Travis Turney was
dispatched to the area of
Pleasant View Road and
McMinnville Highway at
approximately 6:15 p.m. that
day to assist Cannon County
EMS with a driver who had
passed out behind the steering
wheel of his vehicle.
Upon arrival the deputy
spoke with George Mears, 496
Todd Rd., Woodbury, whose
truck was parked in the middle
of the road. Mears appeared
intoxicated and had an odor of
alcohol about his person.
Deputy Turney noted that
Mears had slurred speech and
could not answer questions
clearly.
Mears stated he did not have
the key to his vehicle and did
not know how his truck got to
where it was located.
When
Deputy
Turney
searched Mears after he exited
the vehicle, the truck key was
found in Mears' right front
pocket.
According to the report,
Mears was having difficulty

Halloween Indicates If Holidays
Will Be Retailers’ Trick Or Treat
Newswise — There are 14 million people
officially unemployed in the United States;
another 12 million have stopped looking for
jobs. Yet the ghoulish economy is not scaring
away Halloween consumers, and that means the
holiday season will not be a nightmare for
retailers.
“Halloween sales really reflects well the mood
of the consumer and the economy in this
country,” says Mickey Gee, M.A., executive-inresidence at the University of Alabama at
Birmingham School of Business. “Halloween
sales is a number that we as retailers really look
at because it often will indicate how much extra
help we need to hire for the holiday season, how
much we need in inventory levels and the
amount of promotion we need to do or not do.”
The National Retail Federation says the
average person will spend almost $75 on
Halloween, up nearly $10 dollars per person
from last year. According to Gee, an instructor
with the UAB Department of Marketing,
Industrial Distribution and Economics,
Halloween is the second largest event-driven
season for retailers.
“With costumes, decorations, pumpkins and
candy, Halloween will approach almost $7
billion in total expenditures, which is more than
double what was spent in 2005,” said Gee. “I
even saw one statistic that said people will
spend around $300 million this year just to dress
their pets.”
So why is Halloween a treat for those being
tricked by the economy? Gee, an active retailer
for 40 years, says Halloween is exactly what
people need because of the economy. “We get
tired of all bad news that we get inundated with
on the nightly news,” Gee said. “People are
ready for a little frivolity, so – dress up like a
ghoul and have a good time!”
Almost half of adults and children will wear a
costume this Halloween. That doesn’t
necessarily mean it will be a great retail season.
Gee is quick to point out – you don’t have to go
to Target to be a pirate. Even so, he believes
holiday sales predicted to increase 2 percent to
2.3 percent from this past year is an
underestimate.
“This year we are predicting a pretty robust
Halloween season, but so far our predictions for
the holiday season have been a little bit less than
robust,” says Gee. “When we finally get our
numbers in here for Halloween I think you’ll see
those holiday numbers go up in early
November.”
Expert Debunks Myths About Head Lice
Newswise — Autumn brings tales of scary
delight but none terrifies parents so much as the
note home from school that a case of lice has been
detected.
“While the make-believe vampires are prowling
for candy, head lice are looking for a real blood
meal," says Dr. Andrew Bonwit, a pediatric
infectious disease expert at Loyola University
Health System. “Lice grip the hair shaft while
biting into the scalp to feed on blood.”
But Bonwit says the bite will rarely, if ever, be
painful. It is more likely to itch. “Lice cause more
emotional distress than any real physical harm,”
he said. “The infestation is usually a nuisance and
almost never a serious problem in itself.”
Bonwit’s Top Tall Tales About Lice
Myth 1 Lice are caused by being dirty. “Personal
hygiene and socioeconomic status have nothing
to do with having or transmitting head lice. The
head louse is an equal-opportunity pest!”

Myth 2 Pets spread lice. “Animals are not
known to carry head lice nor to transmit them to
people.”
Myth 3 Beware sharing hairbrushes and
personal items to avoid lice. “Although it's
probably best not to share such items as combs,
hairbrushes and hats, these do not seem to
transmit the pest. Transmission of lice seems to
occur only by direct head-to-head contact from
one person to another.”
Myth 4 Kids with lice should be sent home from
school immediately. “The American Academy of
Pediatrics does not endorse “no-nit” policies that
exclude children from school because nits are
present. In fact, even the presence of mature head
lice is not considered a valid reason to exclude
children, only a cause for prompt referral to the
physician for treatment.”
Myth 5 Lice carry disease. “Head lice do not
transmit serious infectious.”

DA Now Accepting Water Quality Grant Proposals
-Funds support projects aimed at improving water quality and reducing pollutionNASHVILLE, Tenn. – The
Tennessee Department of
Agriculture is now accepting
grant proposals for projects
that will help improve water
quality and reduce or eliminate
nonpoint source pollution. The
deadline for submitting grant
proposals is Dec. 1. Proposals
will be evaluated based on
program goals and objectives,
performance evaluation criteria
and applicable EPA nonpoint
source grant guidelines.
“The projects funded by the
Nonpoint Source Pollution
Program
are
continually
making
measurable
improvements in water quality
across Tennessee by reducing
runoff of sediment, nutrients,
pathogens
and
other
pollutants,”
said
state
Agriculture
Commissioner
Julius Johnson. “This is a great
opportunity
for
local
governments
and
other
organizations to work with the
department in addressing
water quality problems and to
improve water stewardship in
both urban and rural areas.”
Local governments, regional
agencies, public institutions,
private nonprofit organizations
and other state agencies are
eligible to apply for federal
dollars administered by TDA’s
Water Resources office. Priority
is given to projects that seek to
make
measurable
improvements
to
waters
known to be impaired by
nonpoint source pollution.
Nonpoint source pollution is
soil, urban runoff, fertilizers,
chemicals
and
other
contaminants that come from
many different sources and
degrades
surface
and
groundwater quality. The
Tennessee Department of
Environment and Conservation
assesses water quality and
compiles a list of impaired
waters. The list can be found
online
at
http://www.tn.gov/environme
nt/wpc/publications/.
Other priorities for funding
include water quality related
educational programs, projects
that implement an approved
Total Maximum Daily Load in
a watershed area and projects
that reduce urban runoff.
The FY 2012 Request for
Proposals can be found online

2012 Profitability
This table should be used as a
guide as yields, prices, and
expenses will vary among
producers and locations. Since
producers
have
starting
making decisions on planting
wheat for 2012, I am starting to
look at projected profitability
for the 2012 crop year. Please
note that the table below
reflects 2012 profitability. This
table looks at crop prices as of
September 12, 2011 for 2012
and can give a glimpse of what
crop
profitability
is
in
Tennessee as of this date. One
of the expense items that have
to be watched is fertilizer. For
reference, in variable expenses
below, fertilizer expense per
acre is estimated as follows:
cotton – $ 148, Soybeans – $51,
Corn – $169 (includes 150 units
of N), Milo – $134, and
wheat/soybeans
–
$130.
Production cost will be
updated as new information
for 2012 becomes available.
Please Visit with your farm
supplier on estimated cost in
your area. Producers with
owned land and or cash rent
can use Returns Over Variable
as a guide in decision making.
Producers with share rent
ground should use Returns
Over Variable and Land Costs
as a guide with their
appropriate
share
rent
calculated. A land cost of 25%
of revenue is used in the table
as a guide or method of
comparison and should not be
construed as the appropriate
rent for a particular area.
Producers who are not making
major equipment changes can
use UT budgets and this table
as a guide in developing their
own
cropping
decision
budgets. If equipment changes
are being made, then a whole
farm financial plan would be
better suited as a decision aid.
Please contact your local
County Extension office or
Area Specialist – Farm
Management for assistance in
developing your own budget
or farm financial plan.

Wednesday
following a lengthy illness. He
was pastor at Prosperity Baptist
Church from 1962 to 1965. He
officiated our wedding in 1964.
It was a “mini-reunion” last
week for my brother, Richard
and Barbara Harris of Macon,
GA., my sister, Wanda Yule of
Grandview, MO, my nieces,
Marsha Kraft of Pendleton, IN
and Robin Burkhead of Peculiar,

around the farm and finding
“treasures”. All left out for their
respective homes Monday
morning.
Not to be outdone, Robbie
Owen and Betty and Terry
Thomas enjoyed catfish at
Alexandria Café Friday night.
Wednesday, Betty Thomas,
Ruth Davenport and Robbie
Owen treated Wilma Harris to
her annual birthday lunch at
Cracker Barrel in Murfreesboro.
Of course, a little shopping
followed the lunch.

putting things in the overhead

of right shoulder and neck pain
and tension.
The next person had upper
back and neck tension, but his
biggest complaint was how sore
his thumbs had become. He
found it was very painful to
shuffle cards. And the last
person came for a "crick" in his
neck and also for knee pain,
which he had twisted.
You can see the variety of
reasons people seek out
massage.
Some people get
immediate results. Others can
see some improvement, but will
need more work. Still others
choose to get regular massage
because they feel it is beneficial
for their general well being.
Of the five people I treated
Monday, one was new and the
other four have massage on a
regular basis. Three of them
receive monthly massage and
one receives a massage every
two weeks. The three who
receive monthly massages are
senior citizens and I have been
seeing them for 8 to 10 years.
One of them told me he looks
forward to his monthly massage
and he doesn't know how
people get around who don't get
regular massage work. His
body needs it and appreciates it.
He is not sure where his body
would be if it weren't for
consistent, regular massage.
Massage has come a long way
in Woodbury from eleven years
ago. It is nice to see it accepted
and appreciated for the value
and good it can do people.

State Completes Record Bond Sale
The State of Tennessee entered the capital
markets and sold $546,655,000 worth of bonds
this week – the largest sale in the state’s history.
Demand for the state’s bonds was high among
investors, a reflection of the state’s strong credit
ratings.
Earlier this month, Fitch and Moody’s Investor
Services, two of the country’s major bond rating
agencies, reaffirmed the state’s AAA credit
rating, which is the highest available. Standard
and Poor’s, the third major rating agency,
reaffirmed the state’s AA+ rating, which is the
second highest rating available. The state’s high
ratings reflect its debt level, which is one of the
lowest in the country.
Proceeds from the bond sale will be used to
finance numerous projects throughout the state,
including economic development grants for
Volkswagen in Chattanooga, Wacker Chemie in
Bradley County, Hemlock Semiconductor in
Clarksville and Electrolux in Memphis. Those
projects are expected to create 4,650 permanent
jobs, plus thousands more in construction and
related industries.
The bond proceeds will also pay for
improvements to many state-owned buildings
and properties, including a new driver license
center in Memphis, renovations to the Supreme
Court Building and other state office buildings
in Nashville, a prison in Bledsoe County, a new
library for the University of TennesseeChattanooga campus and infrastructure
improvements to a research building on the
Cherokee campus of the University of
Tennessee-Knoxville.
The state also sold bonds to refinance some of
its existing debt – which will save taxpayers
approximately $5,559,000 million in interest
payments over time.
None of the bond proceeds will be used to
cover the state’s operating expenses or balance
the budget.
“Our bond sale went extraordinarily well,”
Comptroller Justin P. Wilson said. “Bonds were
sold to a variety of investors including
$35,000,000 to individual investors. For one
category of bonds, we had nearly four times as
many orders from investors as we were able to
fill.
“This sale will help pay for four high profile
economic development projects that will bring
badly-needed jobs to our state, as well as other
necessary improvements to our state’s
infrastructure.
“Also, I believe taxpayers should be pleased
that we were able to achieve a savings of about
$5,559,000 million by refinancing part of our
debt. We will continue to look for other
opportunities to refinance more debt when
market conditions are favorable for that.”

How Solar Power Works

doors to provide the public an
opportunity to see up close
how solar power works.
The focus of the tour in

More insulation in your attic,
caulking around doors and

the lights and hanging your

most can take.

the panels are routed together
through the inverters – which
convert DC current to AC

the

expected to more than double
over the next 20 years. If each
homeowner
makes
good
energy investment decisions
today, they can save money
and the need to build more
powerplants might be avoided.
It is in everyone’s interest
including TVA’s to manage

With the postseason barrelling down,
Cannon County's cross-country teams
hoped to accelerate their momentum at the
Forrest Invitational Oct. 8.
Both teams participated in the Forrest
Invitational at Henry Horton State Park. It
provided an opportunity for the Cannon
County teams to measure their
improvement after having run an earlier
race at Henry Horton. It served as the final
competition before the Mid State
Championship at Sharp Springs in Smyrna
Saturday (Oct. 15).
Each squad trimmed significant time
from its earlier meet at Henry Horton. The
girls cut approximately seven minutes off
of their total times from the previous meet,
and the boys improved by approximately
11 minutes.

No. 2 Smith County Too Much For Lions
TONY STINNETT
Courier Co-Editor
CARTHAGE - The potential for a one-sided
game was clear when No. 2-ranked Smith
County welcomed winless Cannon County
Friday (Oct. 14).
The Lions were unable to slow the charging
Owls, who remained undefeated in eight
games, with a dominating 61-8 thrashing of
Cannon County (0-9).
"I just wish we (would) compete a little
harder and that's my fault that we don't,"
Cannon County Head Coach Joel Schrenk
said. "Smith County is really good and we
knew that coming in. They have a very strong
offensive line and their skill players are really
good."
Cannon County offered no resistance as any
hopes of what would have been a shocking
upset never developed. Smith County scored
on its first seven possessions and also had a
97-yard interception return for a score to
storm out to a 55-0 first-half lead. The Owls
would tack on one more score before the half
to carry a 61-0 lead into intermission.
Hawk Love scored Cannon County's lone
touchdown on a 3-yard run midway through
the fourth quarter. Ryan Jordan added the 2point conversion. Justin Tobin's 12-yard
reception set up Love's score.
The Lions managed just 104 yards total
offense. Jordan completed 13-of-31 passes for
116 yards. He also threw two interceptions
and had returned for a touchdown. Tobin led
the receiving corps with six carries for 87
yards. Six different players, including Tobin,
had receptions, including James Purvis, Cody
Petro, Justin Weaver, Waylon Sedtal and Love.
Love's 27 yards led Cannon County's
ground game, which had minus 12 total yards
when factoring in lost yardage resulting from
six Smith County sacks of Jordan.
Trailing 14-0, Cannon County had a rare

Opening-Round Games Could Disappoint Fans
Prep Guru
MURPHY FAIR
The playoffs begin two weeks from this coming
Friday. And even though we’re not sure who’s in and
who’s not, it looks as though we’re going to have a lot
of disappointed football fans when opening round
opponents are announced.
With two weekends of regular season action still
ahead, some trends are already taking place regarding
opening round action. Based on what we’ve seen the
last couple of weeks on TSSAA’s website, we might see
several first round matchups involving teams from the
same districts.
Another trend appears to be the possible absence of
teams that are normally regulars on bracket lines in
several different classifications. Had the playoffs
started last week, many teams that we’ve associated
with excellence on the gridiron were not scheduled to
receive an invitation to the post-season event.
Keep in mind the scenarios listed below do not take
into account what teams finish first and second
(automatic bids) in their respective districts or regions.
We’re talking about the 32 (24 in 1A and 2A) top teams
in each class based on overall wins and other tie-

breaking criteria created by TSSAA.
In the 6A ranks, the Smyrna Bulldogs, state
champions in Tennessee’s largest classification in 2006
and 2007, are on the verge of missing the big dance. In
last week’s 6A playoff rankings, the Bulldogs were
listed at number 33. Only the top 32 teams qualify for
the playoffs. Unless the team from northern
Rutherford County can come up with another win or
two, its post-season chances appear to be slim.

weeks of the season, both

Smith County stretched the
lead to 42-0 by the end of the
first quarter and Schrenk
gathered the ranks for a quick
meeting.
"During pregame talked
about one play at a time, one
snap at a time, and not
worrying about anything other
than going as hard as you can
for eight seconds," Schrenk
said. "I called them together
and reminded them of what
they said and what we
committed to do. I thought it
was better after that."
Smith County inserted some
of its back-ups midway
through the second quarter
and played primarily all
reserves in the second half.
Cannon County was able to
keep the Owls off of the
scoreboard, while moving the
ball more consistently and
getting its one score.
"I'm glad we were able to
come to life a little bit, but we
have to take it for what it is,"
Schrenk said.
Dalton Ryan had a blocked
extra point, and Bradley
Gunter, Thomas Stone, Kyler
Walker, B.J. Daniel and Jackson

playoff action from the stands,
not the sidelines.
Few surprises are found in
4A. The biggest shocker is the
potential elimination of Signal
Mountain, a highly ranked
team two weeks ago that had to
“vacate” six wins due to the
use of an ineligible player. An
appeal hearing at the T.S.S.A.A.
office
in
Hermitage
is
scheduled for Thursday of this
week to determine if the
current ruling stands or if the
vacated wins are returned to
the Eagles.
If T.S.S.A.A. declines to
change its current ruling, it’s
highly unlikely that Signal
Mountain will see post-season
action.
In 3A, York Institute, a
semifinalist two years ago,
doesn’t appear to be playoff
bound.
And in 2A , last year’s
runner-up (Trinity Christian),
is on the bubble. The Lions are
battling with Riverside and

honors in District 15-A.

Pick a Peck of Local Apples, Get Eight

Tennessee’s

you want?

products are still allotted the
way they were when Johnny
Appleseed was handing out
future orchards by the
scoopful. Go to any farmers
market, and you’ll see baskets
of fresh, local produce divvied
up into baskets and bags that
no longer have meaning for
most Americans.
Newbie localvores may have
trouble figuring out how many
baskets of a product they’ll
need to satisfy what their
applesauce recipes require or
fill the number jars they need
in their pantries. Further, a
bushel of apples will be heavier
than a bushel of green beans,
which weighs less than a
bushel of potatoes, and so
forth.
A typical bushel of apples
weighs about 48 lbs. That
means a half bushel would be
about 24 lbs. That half bushel is
made up of two pecks, and
since there are 4 pecks in a
bushel, a peck equals 12 lbs.
“Once you’ve divided down
to a peck, you’re probably in
familiar territory,” says Pamela
Bartholomew,
agritourism
specialist with the Tennessee
Department of Agriculture.
“There are 8 quarts in a peck,
and quarts and gallons are
made foods. The site includes
lists of farms, farmers markets,
seasonal recipes and seasonal
on-farm activities.
“A beautiful October day is a
good enough reason to head
out to a local orchard,” says
Bartholomew, “but we want to
make it easy for people to get
the most use out of these fresh,
local apples, too. This new
chart on our website lets
customers come to the orchard
confident they’ll be able to use
everything they buy.”
Apples are ready for picking
across the state and will be
available through Oct. Many
Tennessee orchards offer prepicked apples as well as
homemade goods made with
apples, including fruit pies,
jellies, jams and fresh cider.

vegetable. From there a cook

Ingredients
Mozzarella string cheese
Green bell pepper
Cream cheese
Instructions
Wearing plastic gloves or
sandwich bags over your
hands to keep the cheese as
smudge-free as possible, use a
paring knife (parents only) to
cut each string in half and then
carve a shallow area for a
fingernail just below the
rounded end of each half.
Mark the joint right below the
nail as well as the knuckle joint
by carving out tiny horizontal
wedges of cheese, as pictured.
For the fingernails, slice a
green bell pepper into 3/8-inchwide strips. Set the strips skin
side down on your work
surface and trim the pulp so
that it's about half as thick.
Then cut the strips into raggedtopped nail shapes and stick
them in place at the ends of the
fingers with dabs of cream
cheese.
Black olives or fruit snacks
can be used for the fingernails.
Apple Bites
Ingredients
Apples
Slivered almonds
Instructions
Just quarter and core an
apple, cut a wedge from the
skin side of each quarter, then
press slivered almonds in place

Tips: If you're not going to serve
them right away, baste the
apples with orange juice to
keep them from browning.

Stretch Your Food Dollar
by Packing School Lunches
By: Pat King Fanning
On Saturday, September 24, 1911, a little girl
was born to Willie and Frankie Adamson
Keaton, in Cannon County, near Sycamore.
Who would have ever thought that 100 years
later, that little baby - Vonie Ruby - would live to
see and enjoy such a special milestone.
When we celebrated Ruby's 96th birthday, we
thought that was quite amazing, but what a
delight to be able to celebrate her 100th birthday.
Today, Ruby King, still lives in her home and
manages quite well. She is loved by so many not just family - but her church friends,
neighbors and is so friendly to everyone she
meets.
Ruby received a very special honor from our
Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam. We simply
requested a birthday card/recognition for her
birthday, however, what an awesome surprise
when State Representative Mark Pody and State
Senator Mae came to Ruby's home and
presented her with a beautiful certificate, a letter
and an American flag.
The flag was
accompanied with an official certificate
documenting that the flag had flown over the
Tennessee capitol building on September 14,
2011.
The birthday celebration took place at Ruby's
home church, Sycamore Baptist -near where she
was born - exactly one hundred years after her
birth. Guests came from near and far to
celebrate the occasion. Included in the guests
were many great and great-great nieces and
nephews. What a legacy!
Approximately 80 guests attended the
afternoon tea which was hosted by Ruby's nieces
and nephew: Sherry G. Hughes from Milton,
TN; Wilda K. (and husband, Carsie) Spry of
Parker Hill, TN; David King from Nashville, TN;
Hilda K. Vaughan from Lebanon, TN; Pat K.
Fanning (and husband, Roy) from Huntsville,
AL; Jerry K. Douglas from Knoxville, TN and,
Marvene K. Stevenson from Panama City, FL.
Ruby was all smiles and misty eyed as one by
one her family and friends stopped to hug her
and recall times gone by. Our Ruby has
bountiful memories of many beloved family
members, her childhood and marriage, and
knowledge of years gone past in Cannon
County.
In 1989, after 61 years of marriage, Ruby's
beloved husband, Seldon King, passed away.
Their only child, Winfred, died in 1962. It was
heart breaking for our family to lose any of our
loved ones, but to lose Winfred at such a young
age, and then to see Uncle Seldon pass years
later made our hearts sad for Aunt Ruby. Yet, she
never gave up her "hope of Glory to see them
again." And we, her nieces and nephews, have
been given the blessing of having and loving our
Aunt Ruby, but most of all, to be loved
unconditionally by our very precious Aunt.
Ruby King - A woman of God who truly lives
the message presented in Proverbs 31: 10-31.
"A wife of noble character who can find? She
is (a noble woman) worth far more than rubies.
Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks
nothing of value. She brings him good, not
harm, all the days of her life. … Many women do
noble things, but you surpass them all." Charm
is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman
who fears the LORD is to be praised. Honor her
for all that her hands have done, and let her
works bring her praise at the city gate.
Yes, Ruby King was born for a purpose, she is
still fulfilling God's purpose, and we, her friends
and family, are grateful to benefit from her touch
on our lives. In the past 4 years, the remaining
members of our Aunts and Uncles (on the King
side) have gone on to be with the Lord. Aunt
Ruby is the anchor that holds us together.
We wish to thank everyone who came by, sent
cards, gave gifts, and well wishes to Aunt Ruby.
She has so enjoyed looking through the cards
over and over since her birthday "party."
Her future is in God's hands - but we pray He
will allow us to have Aunt Ruby, her precious
spirit and contagious laugh, with us for years to
come.
"What did you have for lunch
today?" This is popular
question for adults to ask
children on school days. The
child may have chosen to skip a
meal or replace it with a high
calorie beverage from home. If
you know your child is a
particularly
picky
eater,
packing their school lunch can
provide them with a meal they
will want and the nutrients
they need to learn and grow.
Packing lunch is one way to
ensure kids can stay energized
throughout the school day and
stay focused for afternoon
classes. Getting into the habit of
packing school lunch can lead
to healthier food choices and
can be cost effective by using
food already available in the
house.
Let's face it, junk foods that
come in fancy wrappers and
make their way into many
school in lunch-bags are hard
to resist. Packing lunch doesn't
need to be a boring task but a
great option that can be both
fun and healthy. Do you have a
picky eater? According to the
American Dietetic Association,
kids are more likely to eat their
lunch if they get to help choose
it. For example, giving your
child the option of choosing
either carrot sticks or an apple
will give them a sense of
freedom in choosing which
items get packed. However, too
many meal options can be
overwhelming. Try to provide
your child with two or three
healthy options so they don't
end up trading carrots for soda
and cookies.
Follow these easy tips for
packing a healthy school lunch:
- Have a copy of the school
lunch menu at home. This way,
you can go over the menu with
your child and can decide if
they would rather bring their
lunch to school. Our Cannon
County
School
System
provides those menus to you
through classroom newsletters,
in the newspaper and online on
your school's website.
- Finger foods and foods with
a colorful combination are
good choices.
- Don't forget food safety. If a
refrigerator is not available, an
insulated lunch bag with a
freezer pack or frozen beverage
should be used to keep food
cold. All perishable items
should be discarded if they
were not eaten.
- Make it balanced. Always
include at least one fresh fruit
or vegetable, including both is
even better. Carrot and/or bell
pepper sticks with dip, grapes,
- Don't forget the milk
money! If you decide not to
pack a food from the milk
group (milk, string cheese,

yogurt, etc.), give your child
enough money to purchase a
carton of milk at the school
cafeteria. Getting enough
calcium is very important for
growing kids.
- Don't worry if your child
wants the exact same lunch for
three weeks in a row. As long as
it is a nutritious meal that
includes all the food groups,
there is no need to mix it up.
- Think ahead. Try to pack
school lunches when you have
the time to do it right. This
could mean preparing things
the night before.
Have
ingredients on hand or even
come up with a weekly menu.
- Make your own prepackaged items. Purchase an
item you child likes in bulk and
use snack sized, reusable
containers for a "no waste
lunch".
- Emphasize the importance
of healthy choices by choosing
lower fat items, keeping high
sugary foods as a treat, and a
variety of grains, fruits,
vegetables, and protein and
milk products.
Practice every day making
choices between healthy and
not so healthy choices. Then as
your children grow they will
have a good foundation of
healthy eating. Healthy eating
contributes to a healthy life.

BILL LUTON
Photographer To Release
Photo Book Of Center Hill
Each year, the scenery
around Center Hill Lake
changes with the seasons.
The leaves on the trees over
course change colors during
the fall and empty the branches
in winter only to renew the
greenery in spring. Wildlife
peeks out during the spring
and hides in the winter while
other wildlife decides the
winter months on the lake
aren't so bad.
Smithville-based
photographer Bill Luton has
captured many of those images
around the lake and now is
putting them into a tabletop
book to be released soon.
"My goal with the book is to
show Center Hill Lake from a
different angle," Luton said.
"Everyone is boating and jet
skiing around and may not
have taken the time to see the
beauty."
A sampling of "The Lake" can
be found on his web site at
www.luton.us. He's now
taking pre-orders for the book,
which will contain 40 images
he shot around the lake from
April 2010 through July this
year.
Luton shot many of the
images from a boat toiling
along the lake's shorelines and
exploring coves. He said there
are many challenges in
shooting from a boat. "Even
when the boat is idle, you are
still moving, whether it be
forward, sideways or up and
down," he said.
With
sunlight,
"when
moving on water and trying to
capture a wildlife image, the
correct angle is hardly ever
available."
He noted that the hills, cliffs
and bluffs around the lake
mean any given shot could
have deep shade to highly
reflective objects. "Trying to
find balance or correct framing
is never an easy choice when
shooting wide landscapes on
the lake," he said.
And the wildlife hears you
coming no matter how quiet
you try being, he said. "The
more secluded the cover, the
closer it seems you can get."

Julius Johnson has authorized
a statewide referendum for
cattle producers to consider an
increase in the assessment to
fund the in-state promotion of
beef. The action is in response
to a request from the Tennessee
Cattlemen’s Association, the
state’s
largest
cattle
organization.
“Cattle and calves are our top
agricultural commodity and
account for more than $500
million annually in farm
income,” Johnson said. “In
these times of changing
markets
and
consumer
attitudes, I think it’s important
that cattle producers take time
to reassess how their product is
marketed and how to pay for
it.”
Under state law governing
the Tennessee beef promotion
board, the commissioner of
agriculture has authority to call
a referendum within 60 days of
receiving a request from a
qualified
producer
organization.
Cattle producers will be able
to vote Dec. 7 from 7 a.m. to 7
p.m. and on Dec. 8 during
normal business hours at the
University
of
Tennessee
Extension office of their
residence.
To vote in the referendum,
producers must:
Be a resident of Tennessee
Produce or market beef or
dairy cattle
Be at least 18 years old
Sign a legal affidavit
attesting to eligibility
Cattle producers will vote on
an increase of 50 cents in the
assessment charged per head
of cattle sold to support instate
promotion
and
advertising of beef. The
measure requires a majority
vote.
Currently,
cattle
producers pay $1 per head to
fund research, education,
promotions and advertising to
help build consumer demand
for beef products nationally.
The national beef program was
authorized by a vote of cattle
producers and implemented in
1985.

ASK KEN BECK
Movie star, veteran Jimmy Stewart was
‘ordinary hero.’
Dear Ken: What year did Jimmy Stewart die and how old was
he? How many military flights did he make during WWII?
The kind, soft-spoken Hollywood legend died from a
pulmonary embolism at the age of 89 in 1997. A national treasure
and one of the top male movie stars of all time, Stewart was a
patriot. Drafted into the Army in 1940, he failed to meet weight
limits and was rejected. Then he worked out with an MGM
trainer to gain weight and enlisted as a private in March 1941 and
soon began pilot training with the United States Army Air Corps.
Stewart flew 20 missions into Nazi-occupied Europe. After the
war, of which experiences he rarely discussed, he continued to
serve in the United States Air Force Reserve. One of Stewart's two
sons, Ronald, was killed in action in 1969 at age 24 while serving
in the Marine Corps in Vietnam. Stewart's father, who operated a
hardware store, served in the Spanish-American War and WWII.
Fans of this ordinary hero would enjoy the Jimmy Stewart
Museum in his hometown of Indiana, Pa.

double occupancy, Thursday, September 15 through Sunday,
September 25, 2012.
Mackinac Island
Dear Ken: I just saw the Brad Pitt movie "Money Ball," with
Robin Wright. Where have I seen this actress before?
You may remember Wright, 45, a native of Dallas, Texas, as
Kelly Capwell Conrad on "Santa Barbara" in the 1980s. But she's
made a lot of movies since and starred as Tom Hanks' girlfriend,
Jenny, in "Forrest Gump." Among her other film credits are
"Message in a Bottle," "Beowulf," "Toys," "The Princess Bride" and
"Unbreakable." She next appears in "The Girl With the Dragon
Tattoo" in December. Once married to Sean Penn, she has two
children by her ex.
Dear Ken: What's Lee Majors of "Big Valley" and "Six Million
Dollar Man" fame up to these days?
Majors, 72, who was born Harvey Lee Yeary in Michigan and
grew up in Middlesboro, Ky., continues to act. He co-starred in
the 2007-2009 TV series "The Game" and has been doing the voice
of Gen. Abernathy on the cartoon series "G.I. Joe: Renegades." He
teams with Shirley Jones to play the parents of actor Garret
Dillahunt's Burt character in the Fox sitcom "Raising Hope." Seen
in the summer flick "Jerusalem Countdown," Majors portrays
Tom Barkley in the upcoming "Big Valley" feature film and costars in the movie "Love Letters in the Sand."
Dear Ken: Where is the actress who plays Penny on "The Big
Band Theory" from?
Kaley Cuoco, 25, was born in Camarillo, Calif. A topnotch tennis
player, she co-starred in the previous TV series, "8 Simple Rules,"
"Charmed," "Monster Allergy" and "6Teen," and provided the
voice of Brandy in "Brandy & Mr. Whiskers." She will star as Stacy
Peterson opposite Rob Lowe next year in the Lifetime TV movie
