Requested
City to consider municipal building Lady Eagles, Lions are county champs
With so much speculation floating around
about potential stimulus package money
coming from the federal government soon,
Lexington Mayor Bobby
Dyer told board members he wanted Lexington to be in a position
to take advantage of it
if or when it became
available.
“Everything
we’re
hearing is that once
this
money
does
become available they
are going to want you
to be ready to move forward with projects in
180 days,” Dyer told
the board, “and with
that in mind I’d like to
ask your permission to
go ahead with a feasibility study for a new
municipal building for
the city.”
Dyer told the board
that Architects TLM, of
Jackson, have offered
to perform all of the
preliminary work free
of charge.
“But they would like
for us to sign an agreement saying that if we
go ahead with the project within a certain
time frame, that we will
use them as the architects for the project,”
Dyer said.
Dyer said political
scuttlebutt is that
many, if not all of the
stimulus
packagerelated grants will be
100 percent federally
funded.

Two charged in church burglaries
Two men have been
charged in connection
with three local church
burglaries last month.
According to Henderson County
Sheriff’s
Department Investigator
Brian Roberts,
Bryant
Leon Woods,
23, of Lexington and
Larry Brandon Hinson,
26, of Linden, were
each charged with
three counts of burglary, theft of property
over $1,000, theft of
property over $500,
theft of property under
$500 and vandalism in
connection with the
case.
“We were able to
recover and return
about 98 percent of the
stolen
property,”
Roberts said.
“Some of it was traded for drugs, and when
the dealers found out
where it came from
they didn’t even want
anything to do with it.”
The
burglaries
occurred at New Bethel
United
Methodist,
Chapel Hill Baptist
and Beech Grove Baptist Churches recently
and were all reported
on Jan. 22.
Both men will face
arraignment on Feb 12
in Henderson County
General Sessions
Court.

“And if we can get
this thing built without any local money,
why wouldn’t we want
to be ready to go forward once the money
is available?” Dyer
asked the board.
Dyer said the project will be put together in phases, beginning with a new public
safety
facility
housing both the fire
and police departments.
“And then we will
add the utilities and
city hall, if the money
is available to do so,”
Dyer said. “The eventual goal is to have all
city services under
one roof.”
The board voted
unanimously to allow
Dyer to enter into an
agreement with TLM
to begin the study.
The
board
also
heard a presentation
by Joe Barker, Director of the Southwest
Development District.
Barker explained to
the board that SWDD
has entered into an
agreement with a private consulting firm
to seek educational
funding, similar to the
Ayers
Scholarship
program that serves
Decatur County and
Scotts
Hill
High
School, for all participating counties in the
district.
Barker said two
counties, Decatur and
Haywood, opted out of
the program because
they already have
similar programs in
place, and that four of
the remaining six had
already agreed to split
four months of consulting fees for the
program.
“So far, only Henderson and Hardin
News
Counties are not on
board and Hardin
County will be taking
it before their county
commission
this
month,” Barker said.
Barker said the cost
participate
is
to
$2,000.
“And that goes to
cover consulting fees
only,” Barker said.
Alderman
John
Casselberry
asked
why Barker was making his presentation
to the city instead of
the county.
“I asked him to
come here and let you
know about the program,” Dyer said.
Barker
said
the
Henderson County
Commission has not
invited him to give a
presentation, though
county officials have
been made aware of
the program.

that
the
funding
search may not be
successful, but then
again, it may.
“But that’s a small
investment to see if
we can get something
like this going,” Casselberry said.
The board voted
unanimously to participate in the pro-
gram after Alderman
Frankie
Stanfill’s
established that, if
the program is successful, city students
would be first in line
to receive its benefits.
“If we approve this,
and the county doesn’t then I want the
people in the county
to know that they had
the chance to participate and didn’t, and I
want city kids to have
first option at this,”
Stanfill said.
Barker said the city
could regulate its portion of the program as
it saw fit, if the program is successful in
finding funding for
higher education.
the Police Department’s operations.
Students will cover
topics ranging from
SWAT,
narcotics,
major crimes, patrol
operations,
traffic
laws, firearms and
other related fields
with department personnel.
Students also will
participate in practical demonstrations.
“Students will gain
an overall knowledge
of the Lexington Police
Department, how we
are organized, how we
serve the community
and how we respond
when citizens call,”
LPD Lt. David Stan-
hope said.
Even though the
subject matter is similar to a traditional
police academy, the
Citizens’ Academy is
not designed to prepare students to be
police officers. There
is no exercise or
stress in this academy
as might be found in a
traditional
police
academy
and
we
encourage people of
all ages over 21 years
to attend.
“The goal of the
academy is to make
those who attend better informed citizens
with a vastly improved
insight
into
law
enforcement generally, and the Lexington
Police
Department,
specifically,”
Stanhope said. “The police
academy concept is
designed
to
build
community support
and confidence, promote mutual understanding and to let
the community know
that the police department is a function of
city government that
exists to serve the
public in a vast number of ways and
means.”

Coaches and players alike will tell you
that they want to
play their best basketball at the end of
the season.
Well, that time is
now for the Lexington and Scotts Hill
High School basketball teams.
In the case of the
Lexington Tigers and
Lady Tigers, last
night’s matchup with
South Side and the
Feb. 5 game against
McNairy Central are
the Big Red teams’
final chances to gain
ground in Dist. 12AA before the end of
the regular season.
Following LHS’ pair
of road losses to
Milan
Saturday
night,
the
Lady
Tigers are 9-9 overall
with a 4-4 district
record, which puts
them in the No. 4
spot in the district.
The Tigers are 9-11
(2-5), and currently
are tied with McNairy
Central for the No. 4
spot.
Both teams struggled offensively in
their losses at Milan
Saturday.
The Lady Tigers
managed double digits in only one quarter in their 41-34
loss to the Lady Bulldogs. Holli Zimmerle
and Rachel Savage
scored eight points
each to lead LHS in
scoring.
Shelese
Arnold added six
points,
Chassidy
Thomas scored four,
Tiffany Keck and
Haley
Durham
scored three points
each
and
Ashley
Shaw
added
two
points.
The Tigers fell 5951 to the Bulldogs,
with Tylon Brown
leading the way with
17 points. Deshun
Kizer and Kendrick
McGill also reached
double figures, scoring 11 and 10 points,
respectively.
Josh
Fry and K.J. Willis
added five points
each and Nick Hart
scored three points.
Pending last night’s
results
against
South Side, the Tiger
teams will have one
last chance for a district victory when
they
travel
to
McNairy
Central
tomorrow
night.
After that, LHS will
host Henry Co. Feb.
7 before traveling to
Huntingdon Feb. 12.
LHS closes out its
regular season by
celebrating
Homecoming
Feb.
13,
when
they
host
Scotts Hill.
Speaking of Scotts
Hill, the Lions and
Lady Lions also are
looking to improve
their seeding in the
final two weeks of the
season.
Scotts Hill split
with
Madison
at
homeFriday
night.
The Lady Lions came
within two points of
handing top-seeded
Madison their first
district loss of the
year, but the Lady
Mustangs held on for
a 50-48 win.

to the air Monday through
Thursday from 4-6 p.m.

play-by-play
announcer and will work in
media relations with the
team.
The Pressbox and hosts
Steele and Swinea will
address the sports issues
of the day with heavy
emphasis on what goes on
in West Tennessee. But it
won’t stop there, either.
The pair will discuss items
of interest at the local,
regional, state and national level.
Kerry Mallard, director of
sports
operations
for
WBFG, was surprised at
how soon the slot was
filled.
“We are pleased to have
two local talents that will
cover area sports enthusiastically,” Mallard said.
Swinea, who is sports
information director at
Bethel College, has worked
for The Tennessean in
Nashville and served as a
photographer and writer
for the Carroll County
News Leader and McKenzierebels.com.
“Obviously, I’m excited
and it’s a tremendous
opportunity to focus on
West Tennessee sports,”
Swinea said. “That’s our
goal and our focus.”
Steele has been involved
in sports media for 32
years, having worked in
print, radio, television and
internet. He currently
operates two sports web
sites, mckenzierebels.com
and pressbox1.com. He
was the 2004 Tennessee
Sports Writers Association’s writer of the year and
has won over 40 state
awards for sports journalism.
“West Tennessee is a
sports hotbed and people
are very passionate when it
comes to their allegiances,”
Steele said. “We hope to be
entertaining, informative
and, at times, controversial; I’m really jazzed to be
part of the 96.5 family.”
The Pressbox will feature
guests, including sports
writers and broadcasters
from across West Tennessee, the state and the
region to get a perspective
from a media standpoint.
"We are going to be as prepared as we can be, but we
won't
have
all
the
answers,” Steele said.
“Matt and I know this
show isn't about us, but
about our callers and listeners.”
WBFG radio studios are
located in Lexington, but
the transmitter is located
at Parker’s Crossroads and
features national programming from ESPN, carries
Tennessee Vols events, the
Memphis Grizzlies and
many high school sporting
events on the local and
state level.

Henderson County Humane Society news Adult ed program can help make diploma a reality
By Lora Young
HCHS Correspondent
Hello fellow countians! We are all
wishing spring would
get here so we can
start
having
car
washes, bake sales
and other fund raisers. Winter is hard
on the animals and
their human friends
tying to do the right
things for them. We
are in serious need of
dog and cat food at
this time. Walmart
sends us their torn
or open bags and any
dented cans but lately, there hasn’t been
many. Your Henderson County Human
Society receives no
city, county, nor
state funding of any
kind. We survive on
donations alone. We
realize that the economy is bad and the
cost of groceries and
utilities has most of
us wondering what
to do next. If we
could get the citizens
that are able to
pledge $10 a month,
that would be a great
help to our four legged friends!
We are in constant
need of cedar chips
for bedding, puppy
toys, food and water
bowls and foster
families.
Please, if you can
send a donation to
PO Box 243 Lexington, Tn 38351 or
email us at [email protected].
We are a 501c3 nonprofit organization
so all donations are
tax
deductible.
Please remember the
4"P"s during this
extreme cold weather;
Pets,
People,
Pipes and Plants.
Until next week,
happy tails!

New Dislocated Workers Class
Henderson County’s Adult Education
program has an all new Dislocated
Workers Class. The class will be held
Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m.-1
p.m. at the Adult Education training
facility, located next to Lexington High
School, at 293 North Broad Street. This
class is designed to help adults refresh
their education skills, get their GED, or
prepare for technical school or college.
With the recent layoffs and plant closings all across the region, this is the
time to prepare for a potentially new,
higher paying job. With many people out
of work, or taking jobs beneath their
skill level just to get by, the labor market
is even more competitive now.
This is a free education program,
including books and materials, offered
through the Tennessee Department of
Labor and Workforce Development
through a special grant. Auxiliary equipment and materials are also available,
upon request, for those with disabilities.
For more information, call the Adult
Education program at 968-1200.
WIA offers incentives for youth 18-21
needing a GED
Are you 18-21 years old and can’t find
a good job? Did you quit school, but now
you regret it? If you qualify, you can participate in a training program to get your
GED and get a cash bonus upon com-
pletion. You can even participate in a 3
month job training program that pays
while you learn about careers.
The Henderson County Adult Education program offers special training
classes for 18-21 year old out of school
youth, Monday through Thursday, 8
a.m.-1 p.m. at the Adult Education
training facility, 293 North Broad Street,
located next to Lexington High School.
For more information, call 968-1200
to see if you qualify for this training
program.
GED Fast Track Night Class Starting
A new GED Prep night class has just
started. Classes will be held at the Adult
Education training facility, 293 North
Broad St. (next to Lexington High School).
This is a new, fast-paced program
designed to prepare students for the actual GED test in as little as 6 weeks. Classes will meet on Monday and Tuesday
nights at 6 p.m.
The goal for this class is for all students
to get their GED and participate in the
Adult Education Summer Commencement Exercises. Reduced GED testing
fees are offered to those who qualify, saving you $40 off the $65 cost. Many students in the program have already passed
the GED test and have their diplomas.
Sign up today to join them. Call Stewart
Stanfill at 968-1200 for more details and
to reserve a spot in this class.
