new shelter
S.A.V.E. to provide safe

Workers atop the new Cannon County Emergency Medical Service building braved the cold this week to finish
the roof on the new structure. On Tuesday, the workers
had to wipe off a layer of snow to start work.
Litter problem

Discussion turned to
Cannon County’s growing
litter problem during Saturday’s County Commission meeting.
“Really we need to wage
a war on litter,” said Commissioner Richie Hunter.
“We have such a beautiful
county that doesn’t need to
be blighted by litter.”
A particular problem is
litter accumulating along
the side of the newly completed four-lane extension
of state Route 70S, Hunter
said.
“We’ve asked the state to
put up anti-littering signs
on the new road,” said
County Executive Mike
Gannon. “From what I
been told they will carry a
substatual fine that can be
as much as $1,500.”
Gannon said littering
is hard to comprehend in
light of Cannon County’s
free solid waste disposal
program. “We’re open 60
hours a week at the center.”
Commissioner
Glenn
Steakley said littering remains a major problem in
his district, particularly on
Parch Corn Road.
“We don’t have people
dumping old refrigerators down there any more,
but there’s a substantial

Work is well underway
on the new S.A.V.E. Shelter which will provide a
safe place for the victims
of domestic violence and
their children to stay.
“We hope to open
March 1,” said S.A.V.E.
Coordinator Lisa Baird.
“The shower room has
to be completed and the
security fence has to be
erected, but both of those
projects are underway.”
The recent cold weather hasn’t slowed down
the work on the new facility.
Baird has already relocated her office to the new
center and is working to
get the facility up and
running.

Flu season is here, with
seasonal influenza cases
now reported across Tennessee.
The
Cannon
County Health Department is
working to protect the entire community by providing free flu vaccinations to
area residents until vaccine
supplies are depleted.
Appointments must be
made to receive flu vaccine,
and are now being scheduled at the clinic.
“Vaccination is the best
protection against the flu,
and the Cannon County
Health Department, the
Tennessee Department of
Health and the CDC recommend that everyone six
months of age and older get a flu vaccine every
year,” said Andrea Fox,

“It takes about two
weeks to be protected after you get the flu vaccine,
so we want everyone who
hasn’t had their flu shot to
get one right away,” Fox
said.
Flu shots will be provided at no charge to patients.
Both adults and children
may receive flu vaccine at
the clinic.
Please call the Cannon
County Health Department at (615-563-4243) today to book your appointment.

“We can always use
furniture. Even if we have
all we need for the center,
we still need to help our
clients who in most cases have nothing,” Baird
said.
“Money is always a
good thing. We’ve got
to meet our budget and
overhead for electricity
and heating,” she said.
Covering the first year’s
costs will be tough because start-up efforts are
not usually eligible for
federal and state grants.
Computers are also
needed for the center’s
education room. In many
cases, S.A.V.E.’s clients
don’t have a high school
degree and need to earn a
GED. Their children also
can use a computer to get

‘Ponder Anew’ is the story of WWII pilot Lt. Herschel Ponder who flew P-47 Thunderbirds in Europe. The play is set Jan. 25 at the Arts Center of Cannon County.
Play tells poignant pilot story
“Ponder Anew: A WWII Warrior’s Story,” will be presented 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan.
25 at The Arts Center of Cannon County.
The play is adapted from a memoir of
Lt. Herschel D. Ponder, a fighter pilot who
flew P-47 Thunderbolts in Europe. Lt.
Ponder is the father of actor/musician Carol Ponder, who along with Robert Kiefer,
performs this play with music.
In his memoir, Lt. Ponder wrote of his
fears, his joys, and his struggle to remain
human during and after an inhumane war.
By turns warm, funny, tragic and poignant,
Ponder Anew premiered as part of the
Heritage Artists” Retreat Series at the Historic Asolo Theater in Sarasota, FL and has
been presented in over 30 venues in five
states including The Monteagle Assemby
and Middle Tennessee State University.
This moving production evokes the essence of war and warriors: their victories,

A.C. Bobo, Jr. , 87, of Auburntown was called from this
life to his Heavenly home on January 9th, 2015.
A.C. was loved by all who knew him. He was loving,
gentle, and devoted to his family. A.C. was the son of
Charles Bobo and Mamie Murphy Bobo of the Tucker’s
Crossroads community. He grew up on the family farm
and for all of his life held a deep seated love of agriculture
and animals. He was a lifelong Tennessee resident,
leaving only during his Army service in WWII. He
returned to Tennessee and married Joann
Forkum with whom he had three
children. He worked as a farmer and
then at Ross Gear in Lebanon, where he
retired in the late 1980's. He was a
Christian and an active member of Auburntown
Church of Christ. Mr. Bobo was a man who loved his God,
and his family. We are thankful to have had him in our
lives.
He was preceded in death by his wife of nearly 56 years,
Joann; his parents Charles and Mamie, and all of his
brothers and sisters.

Joshua.
Mr. Bobo is also survived by two sisters-in-law, Sammie
Plumlee of Lebanon, and Linda Caviness of Virginia
Beach, Virginia. He also leaves behind many beloved
nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. His life is summed
up best by the Apostle Paul who wrote the following, "I
have fought the good fight, I have finished my course, I
have kept the faith” (II Timothy 4:7).
Funeral services were 1 p.m. Monday, January 12, 2015

the farm and being with their family.
Mrs. Hale was a retired employee of the Cannon County
School System. She served as the manager for the
Woodbury Grammar School Cafeteria. She loved being
around the children at school. Mrs. Hale had worked for

church was a big part of her life.
Mrs. Hale had a tender heart. She always looked around
her for people in need and would offer any kind of help
she could. You would never see her without a smile. She
didn’t know how to say anything bad about anyone.

Look for me in Rainbows
Time for me to go now, I won't say goodbye;
Look for me in rainbows, way up in the sky.
In the morning sunrise when all the world is new,
Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved
you.
Time for me to leave you, I won't say goodbye;
Look for me in rainbows, high up in the sky.
In the evening sunset, when all the world is through,
Just look for me and love me, and I'll be close to you.
It won't be forever, the day will come and then
My loving arms will hold you, when we meet again.
Time for us to part now, we won't say goodbye;
Look for me in rainbows, shining in the sky.
Every waking moment, and all your whole life
through
Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved
you.
Just wish me to be near you,
And I'll be there with you.

Global warming
raises its ‘ugly
head’ again
I came across a story the other day that
said our Totoabas are in trouble.
I assumed a Totoaba is some sort of
foreign automobile that is being recalled
due to faulty engineering that could result in such minor inconveniences as the
gas tank exploding when the windshield
wipers are activated.
But that wasn’t it at all. The Totoaba in
question is a rare marine creature that
resembles a squat, flabby, pug-nosed
porpoise. Or Rosie O’Donnell.
The Totoaba is apparently being
pursued to the brink of extinction for its
“swim bladder,” which can bring up to
$4,000 a pound.
The story didn’t explain what a “swim
bladder” is used for, but we can assume
it is for something vital, like waxing Kim
Kardashian’s eyebrows.
I read on, and suddenly there was the
kicker: the root cause of the Totoaba’s
demise is (naturally) Global Warming.
Global Warming has caused the waters
in which the Totoaba live to become colder in recent years, prompting the aquatic
Rosie to swim closer to the surface where
it can be easily netted.
I know what you’re thinking: how
does Global WARMING make the water
COLDER?
I assume the same way that Global
Warming keeps causing all the record-breaking cold spells that are sweeping the nation (50 below in Fargo last
week.) If Global Warming keeps this up,
we’ll all freeze to death.
Back to the endangered Totoaba: The
author claims that we are to blame for
its woes. By “we” he means humans like
you, me and Millard Fillmore.
The article notes the wide range of
other animals and plants that are
A Shot of Wry
Larry Woody
endangered,
and says we
are responsible for their plight, too.
Never mind that your and I personally
have never whacked a single Passenger
Pigeon or backed over a Dodo bird in
the driveway. (I can’t speak for Millard
Fillmore.) Yet we’re somehow to blame
for their demise.
Granted, we humans are responsible
for a lot of the planet’s problems (what
were we thinking when we gave Mookie her own TV show?) But that doesn’t
mean we’re to blame for the plight of
the Totoaba, the Dodo or the Spay-Toed
Mongolian Tree Sloth (I made that last
one it up, just to see if I could get it on
the Endangered Species List.)
Dinosaurs are the poster boys for endangered species. They once roamed the
earth in great numbers, like Encyclopedia
salesmen, then overnight (in geo-terms)
they all croaked.
What caused the big fellows to abruptly exit the stage? Nobody knows for sure.
But they most certainly weren’t hunted to
extinction by man, or fell victim to manmade climate change.
Carbon emissions from Caveman
Org’s campfire didn’t cause the earth to
over-heat and melt the glaciers. And Org
didn’t over-hunt the dinosaurs because -how’s this for an air-tight alibi, Columbo?
-- he wasn’t even on the planet.
I’m not convinced that we humans
deserve blame for the plight of many of
our survival-challenged fellow creatures.
Who can explain the mysteries of Natural
Selection -- why dinosaurs died out, yet
Kardashians continue to multiply?
Sometimes, to coin a scientific phrase,
stuff happens.

Common Sense
was early use of

Jan. 10 is the anniversary of the publication of one of the most significant,
some would say inflammatory, pieces of
writing in America: “Common Sense, by
Thomas Paine.
Published in 1776, just seven months
before the signing of the Declaration
of Independence, “Common Sense”
was a politically astute and well-timed
tract that promoted civil society and the
equality of all individuals over the power
of the state. It urged people to use the
strength of the masses, and it challenged
the foundations of British rule in the
colonies.
“Common Sense” was seditious not
only in its call for revolt, but also in the
urgency with which it appealed to readers’ emotions. Paine had not only sensed,
but also defined his readers’ views,
strengthened their beliefs, touched
their hearts, changed their minds, and
convinced them that they must speak
and act.
Paine’s pamphlet was “the political
document of the early phase of the
Revolution,” and few in the new nation
did not hear
Media Matters
of or read its
arguments.
Larry Burriss
Supporters
viewed it as
vital reading and fodder in the battle to
end oppression. Opponents called it treasonous and labeled Paine much worse.
Paine was thus one of the most influential political philosophers and writers in
our nation’s history, a sower of the seeds
of the genuine American Revolution.
Though faded somewhat in historical
prominence, remembered only, if at all,
for classic lines like “These are the times
that try men’s souls,” Paine was the
predecessor to today’s political columnists. His writings incited, bolstered
and encouraged political activism in
the cause of freedom, democracy and
republicanism.
As the foremost writer of his day, it is
perhaps useful to remember that Paine
used the power of the press to promote
revolution; a revolution that, hopefully,
did not end back in the 17-hundreds, but
is still going on today.

Auburntown News
BY ANNA PATRICK
A correction from last week's column Sharon Ann Fann was Terry Thomas' niece,
not his sister. She was called "Sissy".
This community was hit hard again last
week by deaths. A. C. Bobo passed away
following a short illness. Our sympathy to
Bobby Bobo and family.
Charles
Jackson
Conner,
Kathy
Davenport's father, died following a
lengthy illness. Our prayers for her and the
family.
Bobbie Faye Hill Hale lost her battle with
cancer. She grew up in this community
graduating from Auburn High School.
Condolences to the many family members
in and around here.
Tim Reed's birthday was celebrated at
our house Sunday, the 11th. All family
members were present plus an extra, Case
Isenhart. Strawberry cake was his choice of
desserts.
Monday, January 12th was a special night
at the Roger Turney Gym. A "sea of green"
welcomed fans, players, cheerleaders and
the like. This to help Edith McReynolds in
her fight with cancer.
It was also Eighth Grade Night meaning
not only last home game of the season but
the last home game for those "moving on
up". Recognized for the number of years
they have been a part of the team were
Alyssa Williams on the girl's roster, Stone
Basham, Colin Crawley, TJ George, Noah
Logsdon, Alex Ramsey and Justin Whited
from the boy's team and Rachel Hale, Tyger
Kennedy, Isabella Russo, and Alana Whited
member of the cheerleading squad. Good
luck as you enter your high school phase.
Tuesday night (tonight) at the Macon Co.
vs. CCHS high school home game, there
will be another "sea of green" for Edith. It
was originally planned for Tuesday night
but due to the outstanding demand for the
shirts, it was rescheduled. A big thanks to
all.
Those coming up with birthdays this
week are Rebecca Bryan Tate, Tommy
Melton and Dean Vantrease all on the 22nd.
Moving over to the 25th it's noted that
Bobby Francis and Bill Fletcher. Ending on
the 27th is Charles Robert "Bodie"
Workman who turns 3. Happy birthday to
all of you.
On January 26th back in 1991, a beautiful
young lady took on the "chore" of married
life with Todd Hollandsworth - man what a
chore! Happy 24th to a very special couple.

Trading Post Chat
BY SAVANNAH CUNNICK
OK, what happened to the sun today?
Cold, windy and dreary; supposed to be
warmer this week end, so we will be
opened at the Trading Post. If anyone out
there makes molasses, call me. We need
some for our market area. Folks have asked
for it often and we just haven't found a
vendor. Also, Honey is another request. We
have jams and jellies, but could use some
canned veggies and fruits. Sold out. If you
can salsa or pickles, that also would be
great! Need more herbs this year, too.
Please call me and reserve your free
vending spot for spring at 615-464-7824.
We are also planning our first Flea Market
Day for April. There is also no charge for
setting up a table or canopy. We are looking
for crafts, baked goods, antiques, furniture,
pottery, baskets, household effects, toys.
We always have a cook out and offer free
hotdogs and sodas for all. It's always a
good time, so seriously consider being part
of our fun! This year, we are having our
Flea Market once a month instead of every
other month. We also have extra vending
space for anyone wishing to sell on a more
permanent basis every week-end. Once
again, call me at the number above for
further information. We are always looking
for something new and different, so keep
us in mind. Please do not throw out any old
furniture...let us know about it first as we
are always interested in that type of thing
to refurbish and reupholster.
Well, all the four kitties have found
homes. I think I told you about all of that
last week. A young gentleman took the two
blonde twins, another gal adopted the coal
black furry calico and I took Gizmo the
female calico. Whew, these cats are wearing
us out! We still have our adult barn cats
who keep the barn swept clean of mice,
moles and whatever else they feel don't
belong there. We drive out to feed them
everyday and they are very pleased with
that!
Keep an eye on the Short Mountain
Distillery next door to us. They have
constructed a huge restaurant area set with
a banquet room for weddings, conventions
and so forth. A new brandy product is on
it's way and a celebration day is planned
for it's introduction into the already fine
grouping of moonshines available. Many
fun exciting events are set for this year also.
So, between the Short Mountain Trading
Post and the Distillery I would say a very
busy year is ahead of us! See you there!
I drove by Festus' house the other day
and of course, he was doing the strangest
thing. I could have sworn that I saw a pair
of fireplace bellows in his hands and he was
pumping air from the bellows into his front
tire. I was afraid to ask, but I couldn't help
myself. Festus, just what the heck are you
doing now? He said, Hey, a few years back,
I could get free air for my tires at the gas
station. Now they charge a $1 for a short
puff. So, by the time I fill all my tires with
air, I could have bought a new tire! Well ok,
Festus, do your thing, but, there's got to be
a better way, Buddy.
Clyde got a new dog and a new trailor
over the holidays. If you remember he had
a dog that pulled all his trailor's insulation
out and threw it all over the street and then
Clyde blew out the back of his trailor when
his turkey fryer exploded. So, indeed he did
need a new home. Well, no more turkey
fryers but sometime last night his new dog
decided to munch on the insulation. I
mean, his yard looked like a popcorn
factory exploded! Martha had a fit and
went to stay with her mother. She mumbled
something about killing something, but I
didn't quite pick it up. I mean, trailors and
dogs just don't seem to work out for you,
Cousin. Maybe he should get a cat or a bird
or maybe just a fish. I think I will just stay
out of this.
Well, I am gonna run for now, folks.
Gizmo has decided she wants to do some
typing on my lap top and my luck, she will
erase every thing I have just written to all
of you! Chat with you next week. Smile, be
good to each other, drive carefully and give
me a call on those items I mentioned earlier
in my chat.
Hugs, Savannah

During my days of “fullemployment,” I thought
once I retired that stress
would be something I
would only feel during
selecting a different choice
on the buffet at the pizza
place. I have found that not
to be the case, as I now
become a granddaddy once
again. Waiting at the
hospital for another little
Read boy to make his
appearance does put stress
on my older way of
viewing things.
I grew up in the country
landscape of this great state
where I had the chance to
be a part of a lot of "grass
roots" folks who enjoyed
life. Being born in a log
house
in
Rutherford
County at an early age, I
learned that each day is
what you make it, and if
you don’t, no one else will.
However,
since
grandchildren have come
on the scene, my outlooks
have turned into you better
look or before you know it,
it’s over.
One of my favorite "grass
roots" people was Mr.
Lonnie Safley who could
spin a yarn better than
anyone I have ever met. He
told a story one time about
a family who lived in the
backwoods of our state and
it seems the man’s wife
went into labor in the
middle of the night and the
doctor was called out to
assist in the delivery.
There was no electricity
back then, so the doctor
handed the father-to-be a
lantern and said, “Here,
you hold this high so I can
see what I’m doing.” It
wasn't long before a new
Tennessean was born into
the world.
Being happy with the
birth of his new son, the
father started to put the
lantern down, but the
doctor said, “Don’t be in a
rush to put the lantern
down... I think there’s yet
another one to come.” Sure
enough, within minutes a
new little Tennessee baby
girl was born.
Now, being even more
happy, the father started to
set the lantern down to
hold his new babies, but
the doctor once again told
him to hold on because it
looked like another child
was about to enter the
world.
Being
somewhat
confused, the father looked
at the doctor and asked,
“Do you think it’s the light
that’s attractin’ ‘em?”
As the number of my
grandchildren increase, I
also wonder if it’s the light
that’s attractin’ ‘em, but my
concern also goes to what
will attract them in the
future.
I
had
the
opportunity to grow up in
the country during the
fifties and sixties, where it
was less stressful for a child
than today, especially on a
dairy farm in rural
Rutherford County. With
all that has happened since
September 11, 2001, I feel
for today’s children and
can only hope that their
childhoods will be as
enjoyable as mine was on
the farm.
I had the chance to be a
boy prior to Internet,
computers, cable TV, video
games, shopping malls,
two showers a day and
peer pressure clothes. We
never feared going to
school, unless we didn’t
have
our
homework.
School included the basics,
such as reading, English,
math, history, shop (for the
boys) and home economics
(for the girls). FFA and 4-H
were not really a choice, it
was just what everyone
did. The only Common
Core was the fact that we
were kids who respected
our educators and each
other. Our core came from
the home where if you got
into trouble at school, you
were for sure in trouble
when you got home.
Terrorism was not even a
word back then. People
seemed to respect life and
the other person’s way of
life. Heroes back then were
white-hatted cowboys, the
police, presidents, TV star
dogs and our parents.
During my early years,
school classes were small
and gospel revivals were
large. Today, that seems to
be reversed.
You never heard a
country kid say that they
were “bored.” They knew
that using that term could
result in some added
activities directed by their
father.
Those activities
could include cleaning out
the barn, cutting out a
fencerow, restacking hay,
or even worse for a farm
boy, helping his mother in
the house.
Times have changed and
in many places not for the
good. Maybe it is time to
reverse the size of our
revivals
and
school
classrooms. I know it is
time to get our kids off the
Internet and outside to
once again be kids. We
could even let them
organize their own sports
sometimes, instead of those
being what we think they
should be.
As a granddaddy I feel it
is time to let kids be kids.
They will be adults soon
enough, and believe me,
you are an adult for a lot
longer time than you are a
kid.

Girl Scouts introduce new cookies
The largest girl-led business in the world is back - Girl
Scout Cookie Season is here and will go through March 1.
This year, Rah-Rah Raisins and Toffee-tastic will make
their debut in Middle Tennessee. Rah-Rah Raisins take a
delicious spin the classic oatmeal raisin cookie with the
addition of Greek yogurt-flavored chunks. Toffee-tastic are
the first Gluten-free cookie for Girl Scouts of Middle
Tennessee to offer. They are rich, buttery cookies packed
with golden toffee bits bursting with flavor.
“We’re excited to welcome new cookies to the pack,” said
Cathy Ratliff, Director of Product Programs at Girl Scouts
of Middle Tennessee. “Other customer favorites –
including Thin Mints and Samoas – will also be available
for purchase as you help Girl Scouts learn skills that will
last a lifetime.”
All proceeds generated from the cookie program stay in
the local Girl Scout council to support girls in Middle
Tennessee. Troops determine how they want to spend their
proceeds and often use them to go to summer camp, take a
trip or learn a new skill.
Girl Scouts will begin taking cookie pre-orders January 1.
You will see them at your favorite retailer starting
February 8. To find a cookie booth near you visit

Cow-Calf management for January
Feed Levels for Cows
During Winter
Beef producers have
known that cow energy
requirements increase in
cold weather.
There is not much we can
do about the weather;
however adjustments in the
diet of beef cows can reduce
the effects of the winter
weather.
Results
from
an
experiment at Kansas State
University suggest several
advantages for adjusting
energy levels for cold
weather. This information
was gathered during the
1979 - 1980 winter. The KState researchers used 60
commercial cows fed in dry
lot and fed one-half of the
cows a steady diet based
upon the thermal neutral
requirements for body
weight maintenance; the
other 30 cows were fed a
ration adjusted for 1% more
feed for each degree of
coldness.
Thermal
neutral
is
generally considered to
have its lower limits at 32
degrees wind chill index on
cows with dry hair coats.
For each 1 degree decrease
in wind chill index, the feed
would be increased 1%.
Beef cows exposed to cold
require more energy for
maintenance therefore the
results below indicate the
effectiveness of making
those adjustments.
There are several key
implications from the
results of this experiment.
Cows that gained 115
pounds in the last 4.5
months of gestation should
be in one full body
condition score better at
calving. This explains the
increased cycling rate by 60
days after calving. In
addition the 103 pound
weight difference in the
following fall indicates that
the cows will go into the
next winter in better body
condition. The amount of
additional feed (in the
Kansas State study) to
account for the cold
weather events that winter
would be equivalent to 125
pounds of corn per cow.
The current prices of winter
supplements
must
be
considered when adjusting
the ration to match the
weather. HOWEVER, the
expected continued high
prices of calves in 2015 2016, means that every
advantage to improve calf
crop percentage or weaning
weight should be utilized.

Cattle Care During Winter
Weather
The long range weather
forecast is calling for some
extended
cold
temperatures. Over the
course of winter cold
temperatures, wind chill,
snow, freezing rain and
mud are all possible. All of
these
winter
weather
conditions can negatively
impact
livestock
performance and increase
the energy requirement of
the animal.
- All animals have a
thermo neutral zone, that is,
a temperature range that is
considered optimum for
body maintenance, animal
performance and health.
The lower boundary of this
zone is referred to as the
lower critical temperature
(LCT). Livestock experience
cold stress below the LCT.
An
increase
in
the
metabolism of the animal,
generally by shivering, in
order to maintain body
temperature is one method
of dealing with cold stress.
This requires more energy,
either from fat stores or
more energy intake in the
diet. The general rule of
thumb is that energy intake
must increase by 1% for
each degree of cold below
the LCT.
- As hair coat thickness is
increased,
the
LCT
decreases. For example, in
cattle, the LCT temperature
for a summer hair coat or a
wet hair coat is 59 degrees
F. The LCT temperature for
a winter hair coat is 32
degrees F and for a heavy
winter coat it is 18 degrees
F.
- The producer needs to
realize that once an
animal's coat is wet,
regardless of how heavy it
is, the lower critical
temperature increases to
that summer hair coat LCT.
This is because hair coats
lose their insulating ability
when wet. Sheep are the
exception, since wool has
the ability to shed water
and maintain its insulating
properties.
- Mud can also reduce the
insulating ability of the hair
coat. The relationship
between mud and its effect
on energy requirements is
not as well defined, but
depending upon the depth
of the mud and how much
matting of the hair coat it
causes,
energy
requirements could increase 7 to 30% over dry
conditions. In addition,
there is research that
suggests that mud may also
be
associated
with
decreased feed intake.
- Wind speed produces
wind chill and can further
increase
energy
requirements for cattle
when those values are
below the LCT.
Following are several
management options to
help cattle cope with winter
weather stresses, including:
- Provide windbreak
protection to reduce the
effects of wind chill on
energy requirements.
- Increase access to better
quality forage. Cattle can
increase intake to some
extent
under
cold
conditions and if forage is
of good quality, then energy
intake is also increased.
Grinding poorer quality
forages to decrease particle
size can allow more intake
and increased digestibility.
- Limited feeding of corn,
or use of a high energy,
non-starch feedstuff.
- Move livestock out of
muddy conditions or take
steps to reduce the mud by
utilizing a feeding pad.

You may have questions about whether the
current Ebola outbreak in West Africa could
impact the safety of the United States food
supply. Below are questions and answers about
Ebola and how it relates to food in the United
States.
(Continued from last week)
Is it safe to eat at restaurants owned or
operated by people from West Africa?
There is no reason to avoid restaurants
owned or operated by persons of a specific
race, ethnicity, nationality, or country of
origin.
People of West African descent living in
the United States are not at greater risk for
Ebola than other people living in the
United States.
Recent travelers to the region, or those
with known contact with an Ebola patient
who was ill or died from Ebola, regardless
of country of origin, are actively
monitored for signs and symptoms of
Ebola by public health officials for 21 days
after they return to the United States.
Q&As for the Food Industry
Are there any special precautions I need
to take for employees who return to work
after traveling to any of the countries in
West
Africa
with
widespread
transmission or countries with Ebola
cases in urban settings with uncertain
control measures?
If you have an employee who has
traveled to the United States from any of
the countries in West Africa with
widespread transmission, or with cases in
urban settings with uncertain control
measures, or has had contact with a
confirmed case of Ebola, the employee will
be actively monitored by public health
officials for 21 days after the date of their
departure from West Africa or contact with
the case.
Active monitoring establishes daily
contact between public health officials and
travelers from the affected region to
monitor for signs and symptoms of Ebola.
Public health workers at your health
department will decide if people who are
being actively monitored will need
additional public health orders such as
restrictions on movement based on their
level of risk.
These public health orders could stop a
person from going to work, or being in
public places like movie theaters.
In the event your employee begins to
show signs or symptoms of Ebola, you and
the employee need to contact the health
department immediately. They will assess
the situation and recommend the most
appropriate course of action.
The signs and symptoms of Ebola
include fever, severe headache, muscle
pain, weakness, fatigue, diarrhea,
vomiting, abdominal (stomach) pain, and
unexplained hemorrhage (bleeding or
bruising).

News from the Mountain
BY CAROL GUNTER
Observing the nasty
weather out our patio door
this Monday morning with
the rain coming down so
hard. You know the
weather could really be a
lot worse for this time of
the year so I just try to stay
busy with a lot of things I
need to get accomplished
around the house. Later on
when spring and the
warmer weather gets here
for those that love the great
outdoors, it will be like a
wild sprint to get outside
like when factory workers
get off at four o'clock in the
afternoon - you don't want
to be in their way either.
The same I guess could be
said of us, too, after being
cooped up so long because
of the winter weather. A
breath of fresh air does a
body good.
Cousin Ruth/ the Boss,
her brother, Jack Parsley,
and his wife, Ann, took off
to Panama City, Florida for
a week to see the New Year
in. An annual event this is
for so many as around
40,000 people gathered for
the balls dropping and the
one large ball dropping at
midnight as the New Year
was ushered in. The
weather there extra cool
but everyone still enjoying
all of the festivities that are
held that day and night.
Ruth was under the
weather for awhile after
she got home, but is back
doing well now. Glad all of
you had a lot of fun
celebrating and being
WOODBURY LIVESTOCK
January 15, 2015
together.
Some
great
memories made to be
cherished always.
Moles, little green men,
or whatever it is still going
strong at tearing up our
yard. Got the chewing gum
ready to put down in that
dirt if this rain ever stops.
People have told me to put
gum in there. Anything's
worth a try at this point,
when desperation sets in.
Be my luck whatever is
down there will love the
gum and want more. Will
let you know how this all
works out later.
Talked
with
Chloe
Evelyn Bogle and she's still
doing better. Also, another
good
friend,
Gracie
Bratcher, doing well. Just
like me, she is not liking
this weather at all. Gracie
has several bird feeders
and thus a lot of beautiful
birds congregate to enjoy
their daily food intake of
bird seed at her house. She
also
loves
those
hummingbirds. They'll be
back for us to enjoy in a
few months as I think they
are so adorable too.
Please uplift these people
in prayer: Bernie Braswell,
Edith Miller, Carlon and
Mai Nell Melton, Denise
Stanton, and Jeff Brown.
One more birthday for
January is Houston Parker
on the 14th. Happy
Birthday, Houston, and
hope you have a super
good birthday with family
and friends.
Nice to tell you that
Bernie Braswell is coming
along just fine with his
therapy and may be getting
to come home in a couple
of weeks, if all goes well.
Do keep Bernie in prayer
that he'll soon be back
home. There's no place like
home, is there?
Last week quite a
bummer with all that cold,
cold weather as Thursday
morning
temperature
hovering around zero
degrees or lower in some
areas. Stayed in as in
hibernating most of the
week. We really do not
need any more of that kind
of weather this winter.
They say as you get older,
the cold weather hurts you
a whole lot more. I believe
that as last week's cold
temperatures confirmed
that for me. Think I'm
gonna check with some
Eskimos and get some of
their clothing apparel they
wear as they seem to be
surviving quite nicely. It
might be worth a try.
If you have any news for
the column, just give me a
call at (615) 563-4429. Have
a great day!
Therefore, the prisoner of
the Lord, beseech you that ye
walk worthy of the vocation
wherewith ye are called. With
all lowliness and meekness,
with longsuffering, forbearing
one
another
in
love;
Endeavoring to keep the unity
of the Spirit in the bond of
peace.

Accidental fire deaths below historic levels
NASHVILLE – The State Fire Marshal’s
Office (SFMO) announced fewer accidental
fire-related fatalities occurred in 2014 than
in any year in recorded Tennessee history,
based on a preliminary examination of all
available historic fire records and data by
SFMO specialists.
State fire records show that 72 accidental
fire deaths occurred in Tennessee during
2014 which compares to 98 similar fire
fatalities in 2013. The 2014 figure
represents a 27 percent year-to-year
decrease compared to 2013, and a 51
percent decrease compared to 2003’s 146
fire fatalities, which was the highest total
for fire-related deaths in the previous 14year sample period. Final fire fatality
figures for 2014 are still pending.
“For too many years, Tennessee has had
a tragic reputation as having one of the
highest fire mortality death rates in the
United States. We want to permanently
reverse Tennessee’s reputation for fire
fatalities,” said Tennessee Department of
Commerce and Insurance Commissioner
Julie Mix McPeak. “The department
extends our sympathies to Tennesseans
who lost loved ones in fires last year, and
we urge Tennesseans to practice good fire
safety habits throughout 2015.”
There can be fluctuations of fire fatalities
every year, so experts measure progress
over time by utilizing mortality rates of fire
deaths. This method also takes into
account population changes over time to
measure the number of fire deaths
proportional to a population. The National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
reported Tennessee’s 2006-2010 fire death
rate to be 17.7 deaths per million which
means for every 1 million people in
Tennessee, 17. 17.7 deaths occur annually.
The 17.7 deaths per million rate gave
Tennessee the nation’s 6th highest fire
death rate. That has changed as new
preliminary results show that the state’s
fire death rate has decreased to 13.7 deaths
per million, equaling a 25.6 percent
reduction for 2011-2014 compared to 20062010.
This is the single largest reduction of the
state’s fire mortality rate in Tennessee’s
recorded history. Because NFPA only
releases rankings every 5 years, the next
ranking will be in 2016.
No single factor has caused the decrease
of the state’s fire mortality rate. Instead,
SFMO experts believe a variety of larger
factors such as an increased public
awareness of fires, fewer structure
fires in 2014, more smoke alarms and
improved outreach and cooperation
between the SFMO, local fire agencies and
communities have all helped. The “Get
Alarmed Tennessee” smoke alarm
distribution program perfectly highlights
the SFMO’s strategy toward reducing fire
deaths.
Begun in November 2012, the “Get
Alarmed Tennessee” program is today
responsible for more than 68,000 smoke
alarms being distributed for free by the
SFMO’s more than 300 fire partners in
homes across Tennessee. Smoke alarms
installed as part of the program have saved
more than 70 lives so far.
A smoke alarm installation event will
happen in Nashville on Jan. 19, 2015 when
the Nashville Area Chapter of the
American Red Cross and St. Luke’s
Community House will gather more than
150 volunteers for the Community Fire
Safety “Knock and Walk” on Martin Luther
King, Jr. Day. Volunteers will be knock on
doors and install more than 500 free smoke
alarms from the SFMO in homes in the
Nations neighborhood in West Nashville.
The event is made possible by a grant from
The HCA Foundation and support from
the Nashville Fire Department. State Rep.
John Ray Clemmons and Rep. Harold Love
are expected to attend. Media coverage is
invited.
“The No. 1 goal of the State Fire
Marshal’s Office is preventing loss of life
during a fire,” said Gary West, Deputy
Commissioner for Fire Prevention.
“Raising awareness of fire prevention and
successfully working with homeowners
and fire departments has been crucial to
saving lives. We thank our partners in local
fire departments across Tennessee and the
residents who opened their homes to our
teams and volunteers.”
An examination of records by SFMO fire
experts reveals new data that fire
investigators and fire prevention educators
can use to prevent more fires and keep the
fires that do occur from being as
catastrophic.
• Fire data tracked by the SFMO shows
the cause of most fatal fires in Tennessee is
changing. For decades, smoking was the
leading cause of fatal fires in Tennessee
(and the U.S.) but new research shows that
cooking-related fires are now the main
danger when it comes to home fires.
Residents are urged to practice safe
cooking habits when in the kitchen.
• Based on reports from Tennessee’s
more than 700 fire departments, there were
fewer fires in 2014 than in previous years.
There were more than 7,860 structure fires
in 2014, which compares to 8,301 structure
fires in 2013, 8,446 in 2012, and 9,572 in
2011.
• Data shows that fatal fires occur at a
higher rate in rural communities and fire
fatality victims tend to either be very
young or elderly.
“Knowledge truly is power when it
comes to fighting and preventing fires,”
said Peyton Bullen, Director of Fire
Prevention Programs & Policy. “The future
of the fire service must involve analyzing
data and trends to give us the upper hand
for prevention and suppression efforts in
our communities. Leveraging data and
technology, we can provide the crucial
information that can make the difference
between life and death.”
2015 marks the 100th anniversary of the
State Fire Marshal’s Office. More details
about the anniversary will be available
later this year.

NASHVILLE -- State Sen.
Bill
Ketron
(R-Murfreesboro) and Rep. Charles
Sargent (R-Franklin) have
filed legislation to give law
enforcement and other
officials more training to
identify, investigate and
prosecute cases of human
trafficking in Tennessee.
The bill calls on the
Tennessee
Bureau

Investigation
(TBI)
to
implement courses, which
will also include information to help first
responders
and
caseworkers find services to
assist victims of the crime.
“We have seen far too

trafficking in Tennessee,”
said Ketron. “Our state has
made great gains in
combatting human trafficking, but we still have a lot

A follow-up to the report

showed that these statistics

Lions now 6-1 in district play
Josh Ruehlen
leads with
31 points
JUSTIN BEASLEY
Courier Sports Writer
Cannon County defeated
DeKalb 77-57 at home
Tuesday night behind 31
points from Josh Ruehlen.
“Our big fear was after
Friday night (with) a little
let down situation, to our
guys credit that wasn’t an
issue,” head coach Matt
Rigsby said.
Following an Issac Beck
3-pointer, the Lions lead
was down to three points
with 52 seconds remaining
in the opening quarter.
But Cannon County (175, 6-1) would then open up
a 17-2 run to propel its lead
to 37-19, the largest lead of
the first half.
Although Ruehlen’s 11
points sparked the Cannon
County attack in the second
stanza, it was the defense
from Austin Martin that
turned the momentum
towards the Lions.
“Austin
doesn’t
sometimes get enough
credit in the scorebook for
what he does. He cleans a
lot of stuff for us
defensively,” Rigsby said of
his center that finished with
eight points.
“We just got out to a hot
start,” Ruehlen said. “We
made some bad turnovers
in transition, but we hit
some shots early and got a
big lead and the let our
defense do the rest.”
The Lions held onto a
comfortable margin for the
entire second half, leading
by as much as 26 following
an A.J. Daniel 3-pointer
with 2:22 remaining.
“We got out to hot starts
against Upperman and
Livingston and let them
back in the game,” Ruehlen
said. “Tonight we were a
little bit better and didn’t

CC extends wins to 40 over DeKalb
JUSTIN BEASLEY
Courier Sports Writer
Tuesday’s 63-33 home
win over district foe
DeKalb
County
gave
Cannon County its 40th
straight win over the
Tigers.
The
Lionette
attack
began early in the contest,
as Cannon County led 12-2
after the opening quarter.
“When you’re in a border
rivalry game, anything can
happen. We’ve won a lot of
games in a row over
DeKalb County,” head
coach Michael Dodgen
said. “They come in with a
focus and they want to try
to beat you and try to end
the streak.”
The
Lionettes’
run
continued into the second
stanza as Cannon County
put together an 11-4 run,
and inflated its lead to 3213 at the end of the half
behind
eight
second
quarter points from Kendra
Maynard.
Maynard finished with
16 points on 5-of-12
shooting. Kelli Davis tallied
15 points.
Defensively,
Cannon
County (16-5, 3-4) held
DeKalb to 28 percent
shooting
(14-of-50),
including nine turnovers in
the opening quarter and
one made basket.
“I thought defensively
we were probably as good
and as focused as we’ve
been in a couple of weeks,”
Dodgen said. “I thought we
played four solid quarters.
(We) got after it.”
“We got to start climbing
back into the middle of this
race and getting back to
where we need to be.”
County.
“Central Magnet came in
here with their back to the
wall losing two straight in
district (play) and they
played that way,” head
coach Michael Dodgen
said.
A slow start doomed the
Lionettes (16-6, 3-5), falling
behind 10-1 into the first
four minutes, and trailing
by as much as 16-3 in the
opening quarter.
“We got to quit digging
holes,” Dodgen said of the
sluggish first quarter.
After a 3-pointer from
Kaylee Hayes, Cannon
County pulled to within
five points with a 19-14
deficit, the closest the
Lionettes could cut down
the lead the entire game.
Up a dozen at the half,
Central Magnet would add
to its lead with a 10-2 run to
open the second half. Obi
finished with nine of the 17
Tiger points in the third
quarter.

annual Warren Masonic
Christmas
Tournament
defeating the Eastside
Bulldogs 50-24.
Westside controlled every
aspect of the game on both
ends of the floor eventually
doubling the score on the
Warren County team.
Marcus Gannon and
Charlie Parish led the
Eagles offense scoring game
highs of 14 points each.
Brandon Miles netted 12.
Westside set the pace by
gaining an early first
quarter lead with the Eagles
able to hit from most
anywhere on the floor.
Unable to penetrate the
Westside
defense,
the
Eastside Bulldogs were able
to connect on two 3-point
shots in the first quarter.
Westside answered with a
series of 3-pointers in the
second quarter and moved
ahead 33-15 at the half.
The Cannon County team
opened the second half with
a
full-court
press.
Offensively, Westside was
able to move the ball
quickly down the floor for
easy points. Charlie Parrish
led the Eagles in the third
quarter with eight points
that were back by Matt
Calmia's 3-pointer.
Westside:
Marcus
Gannon 14, Charlie Parrish

Cancer organizations call
Cannon County FSA meets
for regulation of E-cigarettes
Two leading cancer
organizations are calling
for regulation of ecigarettes
and
other
electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS).
The American Association
for
Cancer
Research (AACR) and the
American
Society
of
Clinical Oncology (ASCO)
issued the joint statement
calling
for
greater
oversight of the products
and more research about
their effects on the longterm health of users.
“As a physician-scientist
who treats patients with
cancer, I am concerned
about the delayed time
course that’s needed to
assess the adverse impacts
of ENDS use,” said Carlos
L. Arteaga, M.D., professor of Medicine and
Cancer
Biology
and
director of the Center for
Cancer Targeted Therapies
and the Breast Cancer
Program at VanderbiltIngram Cancer Center.
Arteaga is serving as
president of the AACR
this year.
“Therefore, although
we call for additional
research to determine with
certainty the potential
negative public health
consequences of these
products, particularly in
youth, we cannot afford to
wait to take prudent steps
to stop those under 18
from using e-cigarettes.
“This
is
especially
important since e-cigarette
use is growing fast among
this age group, as reported
in the most recent
National Youth Tobacco
Survey,”Arteaga said.
According to the cancer
groups, tobacco use is
responsible for 30 percent
of all cancer deaths and is
associated with increased
risk for at least 18 types of
cancer.
E-cigarettes and other
ENDS, which are capable
of delivering a nicotine
solution in aerosolized
form, have been promoted
as
potential
tobacco
cessation products and
safer
alternatives
to
cigarettes.
However, e-cigarettes
are currently unregulated
and it is unclear if the
chemicals used in the
products are safe.
There is also no current
scientific consensus on the
effectiveness of ENDS as a
smoking cessation tool.
ASCO and AACR are
calling for FDA regulation
of e-cigarettes, vaporizers
and other ENDS, safety
labels
on
packaging
warning about nicotine
addiction and prohibition
of any advertising or
marketing to youths.
They also recommend
child-proof caps for all
liquid nicotine containers
.
As
a
smoke-free
campus, Vanderbilt University amended the
smoking policy in 2014
and added e-cigarettes
and vaporizers to the list
of items that are banned
inside facilities and which
may be used only in
outdoor designated areas.
Donny Green, County Executive Director
of the DeKalb/Cannon County Farm
Service Agency, says the DeKalb/Cannon
FSA County Committee met in regular
session on Tuesday, December 2, 2014 to
canvass and tabulate the ballots received in
the 2014 Local Administrative Area (LAA) #
2 (DeKalb County) and LAA # 4 (Cannon
County) County Committee Elections.
In the LAA # 2 election, Jack Campbell
was elected to serve as Committee Member,
and Thomas Chandler was elected to serve
as 1st. Alternate. In the LAA # 4 election,
Javin Fann was elected to serve as
Committee Member, and Steve Foster was
elected to serve as 1st. Alternate. All elected
members began their terms on January 1,
2015.
The DeKalb/Cannon FSA County
Committee met on January 6, 2015 to
conduct its Organizational Meeting. The
Committee selected Jack Campbell as the
Chairperson, and Javin Fann as the
ViceChairperson for 2015. Mary Sanders,
R.V. Billings, Jr, and Charles Brown serve as
members of the Committee. The
Committee meets on the second Tuesday of
each month at 8:30 a.m. at the
DeKalb/Cannon County USDA Service
Center located at 647 Bright Hill Rd.
Green says that the DeKalb/Cannon FSA
County Committee and office staff wishes
to express their appreciation to voters in
LAA’s # 2 and # 4 who participated in the
elections by voting and returning their
ballots. "The local County Committees are a
very important part of Farm Service
Agency's
program
delivery
and
administrative processes," added Green.

County Committees or other program

Short Mountain School shows appreciation to Law Enforcement
Officer Barker talking to the children.
Photo provided
It was Law Enforcement Appreciation Day on January 9, 2015. The K-3 Short Mountain Students made
cards for Officer Barker and Sheriff Young. Students said thank you to officers for keeping them safe at
school. Officer Barker is our school SRO Officer. We appreciate how involved he is in our school and has
formed many close relationships with students and faculty. Sheriff Young comes out and supports the
Bears and Lady Bears basketball teams. Sheriff Young was instrumental in getting custom wood benches
for the Bears and Lady Bears locker rooms.

who their parents and grandparents should be very proud of.
“Once Upon a Time”
to be presented at
Cannon Arts Dance
Studio January 24
Once Upon a Time there was a small but
mighty dance studio in the little town of
Woodbury, Tennessee that offered quality
dance instruction to a small, but mighty
community.
Over 80 students will be sharing the fruits
of that instruction when they take to the
stage Jan. 24 at the Arts Center of Cannon
County.
Once Upon a Time, Cannon Arts Dance
Studio’s 2015 recital, weaves together a
variety of musical fairy tales into an
enchanting narrative suitable for the whole
family. Little Red Riding Hood, Snow
White, and Sleeping Beauty are fairy tale
favorites that will be performed alongside
more current tales such as Lion King, The
Princess and the Frog, and Neverland.
Theater Arts students from Warren
County High School will serve as narrators
facilitating classical ballet, tap, jazz,
contemporary, hip hop and clogging
numbers.
There will be two shows, at 1 p.m. and 5
p.m. The performances will feature the
same dancers with the following
exceptions; baby ballerinas will only be
performing at the 1 o’clock show and Ballet
Folklorico will only be presented at the 5
p.m. performance.
“I am extremely proud of the effort that
the dancers as well as our staff have put
into this enchanting show. They are worthy
of the support of our community”, said
Lori Christensen, better known as Ms.
California owner of Cannon Arts Dance
Studio.
Tickets are available online at
tututix.com/cannondance.
A
limited
number of seats may be available at the
door. For more information, please call
Cannon Arts dance Studio at 563-9122.
