Highway 56, Highway 80
and Highway 262, also
known as Gibbs Crossroads.
According

"I was born in this hospital on July 11, 1964," said
Dr. Thomas Taylor.
Now, 47 years later, he's
back at Macon County
General Hospital to offer
general surgery services to
the citizens of Macon
County.
"My father worked for
Tri-County Electric," he
said. "When I was 6-yearsold, we got transferred to
Scottsville so I grew up in
Scottsville."
Dr. Taylor graduated
from Allen County High
School in Scottsville in
1982.
He then graduated from
Western
Kentucky
University in 1986 and from
the University of Kentucky
in 1990, when he received
his medical degree.
"I finished my residency
in general surgery in 1996 at
Eisenhower Medical Center
in Augusta, Ga.," said Dr.
Taylor.
Dr. Taylor attended medical school on a military
scholarship. He served as a
major in the United States
Army and completed his
military commitment in
1999.
In that same year, he
started his own practice in
the
Nashville
and
Hendersonville areas.
He has since added two
more doctors to his practice.
Dr. Taylor will be at
Macon County General
Hospital the second and
third Tuesday of each
month.
He will offer general surgery services that will
expand the surgical options
offered to patients at Macon
County General such as
laparoscopic
surgery,
endoscopy, breast surgeries,
surgeries for skin cancers,
and hernia repairs, as well
as other types of major
abdominal surgery, such as
surgery for colon cancer.
"I kind of became interested in coming up here for
a couple of reasons. One
was that I was born here.
Also, some of the other doctors I work with in
Hendersonville have been
successful in seeing patients
here," he said.

jumps in
race for
Supervisor
of Roads
After much thought and
encouragement, I have decided to run for Macon County
Road Supervisor again.
When I took office in 2004,
it took me three years to build
up my money so I could start
making improvements on the
roads.
In our last year, we were
able to oil and chip about 31
miles of roads.
With state aid help we were
able to replace four bridges,
one federal bridge was built
during that time.
I am asking for your vote
and support.

Tennessee State Commander for the Veterans of Foreign Wars Charles Cassidy (back row, seventh from left) visited the Lafayette Post 119 on Fri., Jan. 27.

Veterans of Foreign Wars
State Commander Charles
Cassidy visited local Lafayette
VFW Post 119 on , Jan. 27.
Over lunch, Cassidy, who was
joined by his wife Billie, dis-
cussed issues veterans face with
local VFW members.
"I believe it's very important
to visit all of the posts. We have
102 posts in Tennessee. After
today, I will have visited 97 of
them. I think it's important for
people to be able to put a face
with a name and hear what I
have to say about policies," said
Cassidy.
Now retired, Cassidy served
as a United States Air Force
pilot for thirty years. He and
his wife, who is also retired
after 22 years of service in the
Air Force, live in Perry County.
He assumed the position of
State Commander after being
elected to a one-year term on
June 18.
Cassidy says, as State
Commander, his role is to lead
the veterans of the state of
Tennessee and to help them and
communities in which they
live.
He says he admires the work
of the members of Post 119 in
their community.
"I'm very proud of the way
people in Lafayette help in their
communities. They might be
few in number, but they have
their heart in their work," he
said.

Red Boiling Springs Fire Dept. boosts firefighting arsenal
COMMUNITY NEWS
Macon County Times
Thursday, February 2, 2012
After its tanker truck,
which is used to transport
additional water to help fight
fires in rural parts of the county, went out of commission,
Red Boiling Springs firefighters had to rely on surrounding
fire departments to provide
this service.
Red Boiling Springs Fire
and Rescue Chief Rany Hagan
is happy to announce that the
Macon County Legislative
body has provided the funds to
replace the old truck, and the
new truck is up and running.
He says there are several
people who helped make this
happen and offers this letter of
thanks:
I would like to take this
opportunity to say "thank you"
to all the people involved in
the purchase and set-up of the
replacement tanker truck in
Red Boiling Springs:
the
county legislative body for
approving the funds to pur-
3A
chase the truck and recondition our truck, Bobby
Etheridge for painting the
truck, Joe Newcomer for the
use of his body shop, Brian
Richardson for securing the
tank, Ricky and Pam Arms for
the lettering, Hillwood Auto
Parts, Reed Bray and Sons
Lumber Co., and all the others
involved that I can't think of.
And a special thanks goes to
the Willette Volunteer Fire
Department, Mt. Vernon
Volunteer Fire Department
and
Lafayette
Fire
Department for covering our
backs while our tanker was
out of service. But, most of
all, I want to thank the members of the R.B.S. Volunteer
Fire and Rescue for all the
time and hard work they put
in. Again, thank you all very
much!

Across the Miles
My friend, Mr. Raymond “Mouse” Johnson
tells of how, when he was
a young man, he would
take a dollar, put gas in
his car, leave Cato, TN,
pick up his date, take her
to the movies in Westmoreland, buy them both
popcorn at the movie, and
return home, and still
have money in his pocket.
That was a long time ago.
Lord willing, Mr. Johnson
will celebrate his 98th
birthday this year.
I stopped at a Pilot
Travel Center a few
weeks back. To be honest,
I was a little excited to
purchase gas for $2.95 per
gallon. As I was pumping
the gasoline, I noticed a
young man, considerably
younger than me, on the
other side of the pump
station.
When I got his attention, I said, “I can’t
believe I am getting all
charged up over purchasing gas for under three
dollars a gallon! I guess it
just shows what we have
come to.”

can buy it for $3.04 in
Murfreesboro,
but
I
stopped on my way back
home to save 9 cents on a
gallon.”
“I can remember when
it was 33 cents a gallon,”
I offered.
“The lowest I remember was 83 cents a gallon,” he countered.
As I said, he was considerably younger than
me.
One thing is for sure.
No one pulls up to the

“Give me a dollars

First, there’s no one

And secondly, a dollar

home was “the cat’s
meow!”
The very thought of
those days caused me to
pause and make a calculation or two. In 1969 gas
was 35 cents a gallon. I
figure a trip from
Carthage to 100 Oaks and
back, along with some
“riding around” miles,
would burn about $2.00
worth of gas. The movie
tickets were no more than
a dollar each; popcorn
and Coke at the movies
another $2.00 max.
Looking back, I figured
I could take $10.00, put
gas in my car, pick up my
date, take her to Nashville
to the movies, have popcorn and Coke and return
home with money in my
pocket.
Come to think of it, we
could have stopped and
eaten at Shoney’s and still
spent less than $15.00.
(And that’s including
strawberry pie!)
I stuck my head inside a
movie theater lobby
inside the Chase Plaza
Hotel in St. Louis a couple of weeks ago.
I noticed on the sign
posting refreshments that
a large soda was $4.00
and large popcorn was
$6.50. Movie tickets now
cost $9-$10 almost anywhere you go. And it’s
hard for a party of two to
get out of a restaurant for
less than $40.00.
At $3.25 a gallon, it’s
hard to get to Nashville
and back on less than
$15.00 worth of gas.
At these prices, I figure, if I leave home with
$100.00, put gas in my
car, take my wife Kathy to
the movies, have Coke
and popcorn, and stop and
eat at a restaurant, I
would be lucky to have
any money left when I get
back.
Besides that, Kathy
would want to stop at
Wal-mart, or Lowe’s or
Home Depot “while we
are out.” That would take
care of any cash I had left
(and then some!)
I figure, if I make smart
purchases, I can take a
dollar, have a 12 oz. Pepsi
in a can, pop my own popcorn, and watch an old
movie on the Western
Channel and still have
money left over!
It just makes more
sense to stay at home.

A letter of Thanks
Dear
Editor,
The
Macon County High
School DECA Chapter
would like to thank North
Central Telephone, TriCounty Electric, and
Macon Bank for their
recent donations to our
new chapter. We are
extremely thankful and
appreciative of the donations and support from

Thank You
Thank you to the
Lafayette
Fire
Department.
On Sunday the 29th of
Jan. I went to the Fire
Department to see if they
would mind showing my
7yr old grandson around.
He was so excited.
The kind Fireman took
him and showed him all
around the fire hall. My
grandson wanted to see
all the nooks and crannies
of all the fire trucks .
He was inside them and
just asked a lot of questions. The fireman that
showed him all around
was so patient and kind
with him .
I was trying to give my
daughter in law a few hrs
of quiet since she had a
very rough week.
So after taking my
grandson to Walmart .
then to Sonic for ice
cream I thought of the fire
hall.
I Really appreciate the
attention you showed him
that day.
I thank you for making
a young boy's day for
sure. Then you gave him a
little fire hat as a token of
his time there.
That is all he talked
about the rest of the day .
He coulnt wait to tell his
mom all about it when we
got to their house.
So not only are you all
very concerned about
doing your job, you also
take time out for the community. Also I thank all
the rescue, Ambulance.
responders that help our
county . Best Regards..
God Bless you all.

To the Editor
Dear Editor: I was
intrigued by last week's
article regarding a special
called meeting of the RBS
City Council.
With common public
opinion that there is a lot
of waste in all levels of
government, why would a
body hold a special called
meeting at taxpayers
expense and not take any
action? On the agenda
was excessive overtime
by the Water Department.
The article stated that it
was decided to take no
action
after
Water
Department Supervisor
Brian Long claimed the
issues had not been
brought to his attention. It
would appear that Mr.
Long is mistaken about
not being aware of a problem with overtime hours,
and if he truly wasn't,
then he wasn't following
an earlier Council directive. As a member of the
RBS Council, I called
attention to the overtime
issue in March of 2009.
At that time, the city had
paid out a total of
$61,298.94 across all
departments
between
February of 2008 and
March of 2009, an average of $4,378.49 per
month. Supervisors were
questioned and a number
of possible solutions were
discussed.
As a body, the Council
passed the following
motions: 1. to help cut
down on excessive overtime, weekend rounds and
call outs would be alternated
with
salaried
employees, or the hourly
employee on call would
have those hours counted
as regular hours, not overtime, and be allowed to
take time off during the
week to offset those
hours; and 2. that the
Council receive a monthly report on all overtime
hours explaining the reason for those hours. As
the Council received a
report from Mr. Long
prior to my last meeting
in April of 2009, it would
seem that Mr. Long was,
indeed, aware of the
issue, and also that the
Council hasn't followed
through with it's own recommendations from that
meeting.
To my knowledge,
these motions have never
been repealed. I realize
that the majority of the
current city government
was not in office at the
time these motions were
approved, but that doesn't
remove their responsibility to follow through with
the actions taken by the
previous body. As a taxpayer, I would like to urge
the Mayor and Council to
review
and
follow
through with earlier
actions taken so that this
problem doesn't continue.
Sincerely, Shelly Dean
Macon County Mayor, Shelvy Linville

H e l l o
everybody
from Golden
Oaks. How
is everybody
out in News
land and all
residents?
Sunday morning was just
great when it was time to
get up and start the day.
The sun was up so pretty.
The wind was blowing. It
was warm, not cold. Also,
our little birds were out
singing. Our robins are
looking for a place to build
a nest. I think it's a little
early. They should know.
At this time, Vickie
Rigsby is back in the hospital again. Connie Gann,
Golden Oaks residents and
Rondal Fiippen wish her
the best. Also wish her
good health. Have a nice
week.
At this time, Billie Gann
is about the same. He is
not feeing so well. We
wish her the best. We also
hope she gets better so she
can enjoy living here at
Golden Oaks. Take care.
Sunday, I talked to my
friend Jeanelle Holland.
Things were about the
same. She was eating a
bite. She was feeling better. It was almost like old
times. Have a great week.
Golden Oaks' birthday
dinner was held on Jan. 26
Those who
at noon.
attended were Juanita
White, Dwight Gregory,
James Thurman, Beulah
Murray, Tom Turner, Hazel
West, Junior Bartley, Mary
Flippen, Rondal Flippen,
Janice Jones, Nina Carter,
Chris
Ethel
Becker,
McClard, Doris Jenkins,
Sylvia
Laycock,
Eva
Moore, Alma Dallas, Terry
Mason, Bonnie Brown,
Ann Whittemore, Easter
Conley, Aynne Langford
and Charles Sloan.
Had lots of delicious
food. Rondal Flippen said
the blessing.
We played Bingo after
lunch. Everyone won a
gift. Juanita White won a
$10 gift card from Fred's.
Thanks.
Everybody
missed Connie. Thanks to
Rondal and Mary Flippen
for having the dinner and
Rondal calling bingo.
They did a great job. Have
a great weekend.
I'm trying not to cook so
much. It's not working so
good. I had green beans
from my freezer that Linda
Kirby gave me. They were
half runners. They were so
good. They are the best, I
think. I like green beans,
corn, squash, casserole,
fried chicken, corn bread
and chocolate pie. Most
residents like country
cooking.
The weather has been
rainy and cold with icy
wind, not warm so we can
go out and get things done.
Residents always get out
and that is a great thing.
We just keep on going as
long as we can. It comes to
all of us that we can't go.
We are so blessed. Macon
County is a great place to
live and enjoy.
Hazel West had a great
Tuesday. Her guest was
her daughter Linda Bellar.
She spent the night. They
enjoyed the time. They
went out and shopped for
things here in Lafayette
and had a great time.
Saturday was a beautiful
day here in the village.
The weather was warm.
Residents were up and out
as always. That was great.
I spent a quiet day at home,
That I enjoy sometimes, to
stay in bed not sleeping,
just taking a rest. I have
friends here in the Village
that do the same. I had a
country iron skillet ham
breakfast that Santa gave
me. I had my biscuits. It
only took 13 minutes for
baking at 440 degrees.
Maybe some young lady
that just started cooking
maybe it will help. We
never got too old to learn.
I learn new things every
day.
Hazel West called and
said her spring flowers
were blooming. Hazel also
enjoys flowers and she
enjoys birds. Those big
cats here in the Village, I
wish they would catch
those big squirrels. Some
one needs to get them to
eat.
I guess it's time to say
bye for this time around. I
am so proud most residents
are doing good and can get
out and go or just stay
home.
I wish everybody a great
week and good health.
Always tell your children you love them and
give them a good night
hug. Have a great week.
P.S. I almost forgot. I
would like to say thanks to
some nice person that
picked my flower pot up
and set it on the table.
Thanks again.

James Harrison Jenkins
Johnnie Cilous Moore
Mary Eva Andrews Plumlee
JAMES HARRISON JENKINS – age 70 of
Lafayette, passed away late Monday evening January
23, 2012 at the Sumner Regional Medical Center in
Gallatin. Funeral services for James Harrison Jenkins
were conducted Thursday at 11 a.m. from the Enon
Missionary Baptist Church with Elder Jeff Blackwell
officiating. Steven Benson, Timmy Blankenship,
Barry Dallas, Troy Russell, Jason Roberts, and Jimmy
McCall served as Pallbearers. Interment followed in
the Macon County Memorial Gardens. James Harrison Jenkins was born
October 5, 1941 and departed this life January 23, 2012, at the age 70 years,
3 months, and 18 days.
He was born at Boyce in Warren County, Kentucky. Harrison spent his
grade school years at Woodburn Grade School in Warren County,
Kentucky. Later, he moved to Florida to live three years and then moved to
Macon County, Tennessee. Harrison met the love of his life, Annette Carol
Shaw in grade school and they married on May 21, 1960. To this union
there were four daughters and one son. Harrison spent his remaining years
with Carol by his side. Harrison was preceded in death by: Father, James
Lee “Rudy” Jenkins, Mother, Pearl Mildred Mahaney Jenkins, Great grandchild, McKenzie Ashworth, Sister, Mildred Lee Turner, and Step-sister,
Louise Crabtree. Harrison served his country twenty – one years in the
Armed Forces. He spent two tours in Vietnam. Harrison felt it was an honored to stand for freedom for his country.
He was saved in 1963 and joined Enon Missionary Baptist Church in
1964, where he remained a member until death. Thus as it says in the book
of Job; 14: 1, 2, 10 Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of
trouble. He cometh forth like a flower and is cut down. He fleeth also as a
shadow and continueth not. But man dieth and wasteth away; Yea man
giveth up the ghost and where is he? He will be greatly missed by his loving family and all who knew and loved him. Harrison is survived by; Wife,
Annette Carol Shaw Jenkins, Daughters and Sons-in-law, Tonja (Troy)

JOHNNIE CILOUS MOORE passed away on
January 27, 2012 at St Thomas Hospital in Nashville,
TN, at the age of 84. Funeral services for Johnnie
Cilous Moore were conducted Tuesday at 1 p.m. from
the Chapel of Alexander Funeral Home with Pastor
Ron Sodrel officiating. Interment followed in the Red
Hill Cemetery. David Doss, Avery Salyer, Coney
Swindle, Hal Underwood, Chuck Winsby, Steve
Alleman, Chad Moore, and Marty McDonald served
as Pallbearers. Johnnie was born on December 08, 1927 in Allen County,
Kentucky to the late Earnest and Hattie Pearl Shockley Moore. He was one
of 4 children born to this union. Besides his parents; a sister, Willa Dean
Mullet also preceded him in death.
Johnnie married the love of his life, the former Virginia Flake Knight on
August 6, 1949 sharing 62 years together and raising a son and two daughters. Shortly after their marriage, in 1950 the young couple decided to move
to Indianapolis, Indiana where they were able to find work. Johnnie began
working for Stewart-Warner in 1950 where he gained skills as a metal fabricator. In 1970 the family moved to Morgantown, IN, but he continued his
career at Stewart-Warner. He spent 40 years of his life working for this
company before retiring in 1991. Although Johnnie has spent most of his
life in Indiana, his heart was always back home in south central Kentucky.
After retiring, he and Virginia began to travel between Indiana and home on
a regular basis and in 1994 they built a cabin in the Red Hill Community
where Johnnie had grown up. They shared their time between Indiana and
Kentucky for 17 years before making the permanent move back to the Red
Hill Community in October of 2011. Johnnie was always very active, and
he enjoyed spending his time working in the garden and cutting the grass.
He also enjoyed walking for exercise, and he always tried to walk 3 miles
every day. Johnnie was saved by the grace of God as a young man in 1952,
and he united with Red Hill Missionary Baptist Church where he remained
a member until his passing. While living in Indiana, he and Virginia faithfully attended Beech Grove Baptist Church in Trafalgar, IN where he will
also be dearly missed.
He is survived by: wife of 62 years, Virginia F. Moore of the Red Hill
Community, in Allen County, KY, son, Ronnie and Karen Moore of
Lafayette, TN, daughters, Renea and Chuck Winsby of Trafalgar, IN and
Regina and Steve Alleman of Fairbanks, Alaska, brothers, Delson and Betty
Moore and Melvin and Sammie Moore all of Lafayette, TN, brother-in-law,
Milo Mullett of Lafayette, TN, grandchildren, Angie and Hal Underwood
of Trafalgar, IN, Amanda Hicks of Franklin, IN, Chad and Mindy Moore of
Lafayette, TN, Michelle and Marty McDonald of Lafayette, TN, Cassie
Hill, and Zack Winsby both of Trafalgar, IN, 9 Great Grandchildren and 1
Great Great-Grandson also survives.
Sister Mary Eva (Andrews) Plumlee, age 91 passed away Wednesday,
January 18, 2012 after an extended illness. She was the daughter of the
late Nannie Mae (Davis) Andrews and Bailey Andrew Sr.
On December 24, 1938 she was united in holy matrimony to Brother
Walter Herbert Plumlee who preceded her in death on March 31, 2003.
One child was born to this union.
She completed the 8th grade at the Rosewald School in the Free Hill
Community. She worked as a domestic for many years and child care
provider for her grandsons. She was hired as a cook at Celina K-8 elementary when her youngest grandson began Kindergarten and retired
when he graduated. In the interim she studied for her GED and graduated before January 2001 while in her seventies. Her grandsons were
inspired by her passion for education and her assistance to the completion of their degrees.
She was baptized at the Free Hill Church of Christ at the age of 12
and remained faithful member until her death. Sis Plumlee was a Sunday
School teacher for many years.

Macon County prepares for potential future disasters
A8
Thursday, February 2, 2012
BY DEIDRE WILSON
MCT EDITOR
Just as many citizens have
become more aware of dangerous weather conditions and
ways to prepare for them since
the Feb. 5, 2008 tornado, so
have the emergency service
providers and government officials in Macon County.
"Since the tornado in 2008,
there's been a lot of things happen here in Macon County. We
were pretty well-prepared,"
said Keith Scruggs, Macon
County
Emergency
Management Agency director.
"We've had a lot of commendations and comments
from the state and federal government on how well it went
during that disaster.
"There was a lot of money
that came down from the federal government after that disaster," said Scruggs, noting
that there were several purchases made to ensure the
future safety of the county.
"We've added three more
sirens to the city. We've got
seven sirens just here in the
city of Lafayette. That's complete coverage. I think that the
city has seven square miles, so
we've got a siren for every
square mile.
"We purchased a ladder
truck. We've got a lot of new
equipment here at the fire hall,
new turnout gear and a lot of
equipment to bolster up our
ability to do our job. On the
other side of that, Macon
County also got a big grant,
and we're using that to build a
new Emergency Operations
Center.
"The EOC is going to be
kind of a multi-purpose building. We're building it where
Macon
County's
911
Communications District will
occupy that building full-time.
That gives us somebody there
all the time to take care of the
building. In that building,
there's a room that is big
enough for an Emergency
Macon County Times
another disaster of that magnitude where all the community
leaders can come and operate
out of that one facility.
"We were very well-prepared during the tornados. The
state-level and federal-level
people gave us a lot of comments and all of them were
positive. That's one of the bigger disasters we've ever had in
Macon County, and we have a
very viable emergency operations plan," said Scruggs.
However, he adds that it's
important to continue to find
ways to improve the plan
Macon County already has in
place.
"We've always had an emergency operations plan for
Macon County. Since the tornado, we've kind of farmed it
out and let a lot of people look
at it and get more familiar with
our plan and what each specific organization's supposed to
do. It pretty much fell in place
during the tornado. We're
proud of that. We're proud it
worked.
"The state of Tennessee
mandates that we keep that
plan in place and that we
update it every five years. I
think it's ready to be updated
next year. We stay on top of
that, and our county residents
can rest assured that we're on
top of things as far as preparedness goes.
"We've done a lot of training. I think all of the emergency services since the tornado have gotten just a little bit
more aware of preparedness."
In addition to training for
emergency services, educational opportunities have also
been provided for citizens. For
instance, the Emergency
Management Agency and
Macon County Rescue Squad
have made a few "Weather
Spotters" classes available for
anyone who wishes to learn
how to pinpoint potentially
hazardous weather conditions.
"We have been asked about
doing
another

The City of Lafayette purchased a ladder truck using grant
funds for the Lafayette Fire Department. The truck will help
aid in rescues if there is another major disaster in the future.
Operations Center. It has all of
the media and all of the stuff
we'll need in case we have
Spotters class," said Don
Stevens, Macon County
Rescue Squad Director.

With the use of grant funds, Macon County has begun construction on an official Emergency Operations Center (EOC), which will
provide a central meeting place for the community’s leaders in the event of a future disaster. It will also be the new home of
the Macon County Emergency Communications District offices. Construction of the EOC is expected to be completed in July.
"We have done a few
Weather Spotters classes over
the past few years since the tornado, and that seems to be a
very good class because a lot
of people participate in it. We
had really good participation
the past two or three times.
"The last one we did, we
had really good participation
not only from emergency
organizations but from the
public in general. I had one
woman come back to me and
said she had some co-workers
say that if they had known it
was going to be as in-depth as
it was, they would have been
more interested in taking it,"
said Stevens.
Scruggs says citizens who
have installed storm shelters
since the 2008 tornado should
be aware of the potential hazards associated with them.
"After the tornado, we had a
lot of local citizens that took
the steps to put in their own
storm shelters. When we started getting bigger numbers on
storm shelters, we started a
registration process, where, if
you'll call Steve Jones at the
Macon
Emergency
Communications District, we
will register your storm shelter,
and we'll put it on a map. That
way, we'll know where it's at in
case your house was to get
blown down on top of your
storm shelter, we will know to
look on our 911 data and can
tell where you're at, and we'll
come and rescue you," he said.
"We've had, if I could hazard a guess, several hundred
storm shelters have been built
in Macon County."
Stevens gives an example of
an instance in which people
were trapped in a storm shelter
because trees had fallen during
a storm.
"I got an e-mail from
TEMA the other day talking
about somewhere where a
storm had blown some trees
over the top of a storm shelter,
and they had to move the trees
The Willette Volunteer Fire Department received a new fire engine that was purchased using a

Thompson. Terry Ray and Tom Shannon are pictured on top of the fire truck.
to get the people out of the
storm shelter," he said.
Scruggs says there are other
venues the county would like
to pursue to protect citizens
from dangerous weather, but
money will be the factor in
whether these plans can be
implemented in the future."
"We had come up with an
idea of maybe trying to put
some storm shelters in around
Macon County, but Macon
County is so big and so rural
it's kind of hard to figure out
where you're going to spend
the money because it would
cost literally millions of dollars
to put one in every community," he said.
"That's something we're
looking for if we can find some
free money. Maybe in the time
to come, we can find some
grant money or something like
that, and we may start a shelter
program."
Prepare Yourself
"Severe weather awareness
week is coming up, and we'll
be doing some things to educate the community," said
Scruggs.
In
Tennessee,
Severe
Weather Week is Feb. 20-26.
According to the American
Red Cross, every household
should have an emergency preparedness kit. They have some
already assembled for sale on
their website ranging in price
from $40-$80; however, if you
would like to put one together
yourself, some items they recommend including are:
• Water—one gallon per person, per day (3-day supply
for evacuation, 2-week supply for home)
•Food—non-perishable, easyto-prepare items (3-day supply for evacuation, 2-week
supply for home)

Radio, if possible)

using a generator in the

"We have a limited supply

"The main thing is just to

your media to provide you

Macon Countians will
always remember the destruction that the Feb. 5, 2008 tornado brought to their backyards,
but the most devastating losses
were the lives that were taken
that night.
A monument was erected on
the lawn of the Macon County
Courthouse to remember those
who lost their lives.
The monument honors the
following people who died as a
result of the tornado:
was close enough to our
county for these weather
radios to work. Around just
before the tornado struck in
2008, the National Weather
Service installed a transmitter out at Russell Hill. That
one is specific to Macon
County. Now, you can go
purchase a weather radio
and tune it to where it will
just tell you weather warnings for Macon County.
Along with our siren systems and weather alert systems and the media, we've
got pretty much a full-coverage on weather warnings.
There's a way where you
can find out where the
weather is and what's happening with it. People are a
lot more aware now than
they were a few years ago.
They pay a lot more attention to the media and the
weather radios so that's a
plus for Macon County to
have that site-specific transmitter for Macon County."
According to Macon
County E-911 Director
Steve Jones, Macon County
will soon be able to take
advantage of a new reverse
911 system that will work
with the National Weather
Service storm tracking
equipment to alert residents
about weather warnings by
sending a call to their home
phones.
"People with cell phones
will have the option to sign
up to receive the calls, but
people with land lines will
automatically be notified of
tornado warnings," he said.
In addition to a weather
radio, Scruggs suggests
other items that could be
useful during a tornado.
"I would also make an
emergency disaster kit with
an AM/FM radio, a flashlight, maybe even some candles, a blanket, bottled
water, small food stuffs like
crackers and just anything
you can think of that you
might need to get by just a
few hours until we can get
help out to you," he said.
"We're used to getting out
to people just immediately
on a day-to-day basis, but,
when you have a disaster the
size of the tornado, sometimes we may be hampered
just due to the sheer magnitude. We're a small county,
and we've got limited
resources as far as emergency workers.
"A small home generator
would be handy if you can
afford one and can do it."
However, he urges people
to be cautious and learn how
to properly operate a generator if they decide to use
one.
"Carbon monoxide is a
big issue," said Scruggs.
One person died of carbon
monoxide poisoning from

COMMUNITY NEWS
Thursday, February 2, 2012
In October, Macon
County youth that wanted
to participate in the
Regional and State 4H/FFA Market Hog shows
began selecting their project animals for show.
This year, four members decided to take on
the Swine project and participate.
Members bought their
show animals and began
the process of feeding,
managing their animals'
health and working with
animals so that they might
participate in the showmanship contests that are
held at Region and State.
Also, as with other
livestock shows at Region
and State, there is a
Skillathon event that tests
the knowledge of youth in
a hands-on activity where
members have to identify
breeds of animals, various
feeds, equipment names,
meat identification, management practices used
with animals (such as
how to read ear notches,
and how to properly give
a vaccination).
Awards are given in
each area of the shows-placing awards of animal,
showmanship
awards,
skillathon awards, and,
with the swine, there is a
carcass award where they
ultrasound the animals
and check loin area and
back fat to come up with a
score for the animal
Macon County Times
entered.
Animals have to be a
minimum of 230 lbs. to
eligible for the carcass
show.
The ultrasound this
year was performed by
Rob Fitzgerald (4-H
Alumni from Macon Co.)
with
P.I.C.
(Pigs
Improvement Company
Inc.) in Franklin, KY.
Rob ultra-sounded 110
animals that entered the
carcass show at State, so
we appreciate Rob and his
assistance with the State
show. Members that participated in this year’s
Regional and State events
were Jedidiah Coley,
Hailey Brewer, Kade
Allen, and Luci Allen.
Pictured above is Luci Allen- 7th grade 4-H member at Macon Co. Jr. High. This is Luci’s second year to show Swine at the Region and State. Luci won Jr. High Showmanship at Region and
State. Luci placed 7th in class with her gilt entry weighing in at 250 lbs. Luci won the Jr. High
State Skillathon contest, and was named premier exhibitor in the Junior High Level receiving a
Farm Bureau & University of Tennessee endowment award towards expenses at the college of
her choosing at graduation. The gilt pictured above was 4th in the Region and 9th in the State
in the Carcass show; it had a 9” loin eye area and .47 back fat measurement.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT!

than $5,000 from coupons alone.
Pictured above is Jedidiah Coley, (8th grade 4-H member at Macon Co. Junior High) exhibiting
the Reserve Champion Pen of 3 Market hogs at the Regional and State 4-H Contests. Hogs in
this show are judged on uniformity and desirable market qualities. Pictured along with Jed are
show judges Jake Bachman and Tom Farrer.

Counsel the doubtful
The third spiritual
work of mercy is to
counsel the doubtful.
We
are
hereby
instructed to bolster
the faith and confidence of those who
doubt.
This may involve
reassuring others that
God cares about them
and that He has everything under control, or
it may involve an even
more basic assurance
that God exists.
On the other hand, if
someone is convinced
that God does not
exist, counseling the
doubtful may simply
involve telling them
that God cares about
them nonetheless, and
that His love for them
is not conditioned
upon their belief in
Him. Sometimes a person’s doubts are of a
more personal nature;
many of us suffer from
low self-esteem and a
lack of confidence in
our own abilities.
Counseling
these
people may simply
involve telling them to
trust themselves.
Self-doubt can be
crippling, and a reassuring pat on the back
and some words of
encouragement from a
trusted friend or fami-
ly member may often
be all that is needed to
melt away any lingering doubts.
As
always,
we
should counsel others
with tact and discretion, remembering that
our advice, especially
if unsolicited, may not
always be welcomed.
Therefore,
we
should
carefully
reflect on how we
might counsel the
doubtful, in order to
best restore their faith
and confidence.
And convince some,
who doubt.

Fun By The Numbers
Here’s How It Works:
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid; broken down into nine 3x3
boxes. To solve a sodoku,
the numbers 1 through 9
must fill each row, column
and box. Each number can
appear only once in each
row, column and box. You
can figure out the order in
which the numbers will
appear by using the
numeric clues already
provided in the boxes. The
more numbers you name,
the easier it gets to solve
the puzzle!

Horoscopes
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20
With so many things on your
plate, Aries, you just may feel
like throwing in the towel early.
However, if you give it a little
more effort you may be surprised.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21
Taurus, don't worry yourself
sick over a pressing situation
this week. You'll figure out a
way to handle it and things will
work out for the best.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21
Gemini, you only have one
person on your mind, but this
person may be completely
unaware that you are thinking
about him or her. Maybe you
can drop a few hints.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
Cancer, your trusting nature
will pay dividends for all those
around you this week, including yourself. Friends and family will appreciate your reliability.
Saturday Evening
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23
Leo, sweating the small stuff
could cause you to miss the
bigger picture. Don't worry too
much about minor inconveniences, and you'll be happier
for it.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
Virgo, you might not be able to
please everyone all of the
time, but that doesn't mean
you can't try. Friends, family
members and coworkers will
appreciate the effort.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23
Libra, confidence when making tough decisions will inspire
loyalty in those around you.
Make these decisions carefully
and explain them clearly to
others.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22
Scorpio, make the most of an
upcoming opportunity to spend
time with loved ones. Reconnecting with friends and family
will be just what the doctor
ordered.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec
21
Lots of people are in your corner this week, Sagittarius.
Make the most of that support
and remember to thank those
supporters along the way.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20
Capricorn, you're not one for
accepting handouts, but when
the offer for assistance comes
in, it may be too difficult to
pass up. Think on it carefully.
