City Council Meets
In Brief Session
The Jamestown Mayor and City Council met in regular session
Monday, January 11, 2010 with all members present.
After the meeting was called to order the council welcomed back
City Recorder Sarah Ann Threet, who had been absent due to an
injury.
On a motion by Gene Holt and seconded by Joan Bailey, the
council voted to dispense with the reading of the minutes.
Bob Lane, building inspector then updated the council on
ongoing projects stating he had received an email for the Sgt. York
Patriotic Foundation that stated their intentions to tear down the
north end of the old YAI building since it had no historical
benefit, having been built after 1950.
Lane also told the council that the psychiatric ward at JRMC
was approximately 97%-98% complete.
Lane went on to say he had received a copy of plans from the
state for the new bleachers and press box at YAI, giving the
greenlight to go ahead on the project.
Lane then told the council that all grants are still ongoing as
being handled by McGill & Associates. Lane also stated that due
to the time deadline on the 100%, $100,000.00 energy grant, he
felt the city should not pursue the non-matching grant at this time
but should have another chance at receiving the grant a little later
on.
The financial statement was then approved showing total
available funds of $1,761,836.26. This coming on a motion by
Buster Stockton and second from Joan Bailey.
Next on a motion by Joan Bailey and seconded by Charles
Cooper, the council voted to pay monthly bills in the amount of
$476,091.31, which included the natural gas bill.

saying funding was in place and asked that bids be let on cleaning
out the backwash clarifier basin at the water treatment plant. On
a motion from Joan Bailey and seconded by Charles Cooper, the
motion was passed.
Before adjourning the council praised the street department for
the great job they have been doing in keeping the streets cleared.
The meeting then adjourned.
Under “Old Business,” the
board passed on second and
final reading the student-staff
relations policy and revised the
corporal punishment policy to
comply with a request from the
Tennessee
School
Board
Association.
The meeting then adjourned,
with their next meeting set for
Monday, February 1 with a
work session at 5:00 p.m., with
the meeting to follow.
Following Monday night’s
meeting, Director of Schools
Mike Jones updated the local
news media of some important
things happening in the school
system:
“We’re getting our library
grant money, which Mr. Bob
Dillon recently acquired,”
Jones said. “ This money will
allow us to get new library
books, computers and software
which helps us move toward
our SACS accreditation. We’re
one of only two school systems
in the state, I think, to receive
this grant, and this will bring
our libraries up to the level of
the best in the state, with web
cameras where we can actually
teach classes or have meetings
from one school to another.”
“One thing I would like to
say is to express my
appreciation to Jeff Hinds and
the maintenance staff for the
great job they’re doing to
maintain our buildings during
this cold weather we’ve had to
make sure the water doesn’t
freeze up.
“I realize the kids need to be
back in school and the parents
want them back in school, but
the back roads are awfully
slick. Hopefully, it will warm
up soon.” he added.
“Another thing I’d like to
point out is that Robert
Cooper, a member of our
maintenance staff, helped us
get a $52,000 grant to replace

Murder-Suicide in Monterey
By Dale Welch

A domestic dispute last
Saturday morning ended in
what authorities say was a
murder-suicide in Monterey.
Police
found
Aundria
Padgett, 30, shot dead on the
porch of Richard Mackie’s
house at 606 N. Chestnut St.
and later found Mackie, 47,
dead of apparent self-inflicted
gunshot wounds inside the
living room.
Witnesses nearby said they
saw Padgett pull up in the yard
as she attempted to leave, they
said that Mackie allegedly
pulled her by her hair and shot
her, then, turned around and
shot her again and went back
inside.
Police were called and arrived
on scene around 11 a.m. to find
Padgett laying on the front
porch dead and the front door
open. Monterey Police K-9
Officer Larry Bates was first on
the scene. When he saw Padgett
dead , he pulled his patrol car
around and secured the road
from passing traffic and called
for backup.
Shortly afterward, Putnam
Deputy Scott Stockton arrived
along with Monterey Police
Chief Kevin Phillips and
Putnam
Sheriff
David
Andrews. The STAR team
from the sheriff ’s department
was also called to the scene.
While awaiting the STAR
team, Officer Bates thought he
noticed something moving
inside Padgett’s car, which was
still had its motor running and
windshield wipers moving.
With Chief Phillips and Sheriff
Andrews covering him, he went
to the car and found Padgett’s
and Mackie’s two children, one
approximately five months old
and the other approximately a
one-year-old in infant seats in
the back seat. Officer Bates
drove the car over to a nearby
store parking lot, where
relatives soon arrived to take
them.
When the STAR team
arrived, they tried for sometime
to call Mackie out of the
house, to no avail. Officers also
called around to determine
where Padgett’s other children
were. They were determined to
CHURCH OF CHRIST BIBLE CORNER
Phil Adams, Minister
Once upon a time there was a girl who had four boyfriends…
She loved the fourth boyfriend the most and adorned him with
rich robes and treated him to the finest of delicacies. She gave him
nothing but the best. She also loved the third boyfriend very much
and was always showing him off to neighboring kingdoms. However,
she feared that one day he would leave her for another. She also loved
her second boyfriend. He was her confident and was always kind,
considerate and patient with her. Whenever this girl faced a problem,
she could confide in him, and he would help her get through the difficult times. The girl's first boyfriend was a very loyal partner and
had made great contributions in maintaining her wealth and kingdom.
However, she did not love the first boyfriend. Although he loved her
deeply, she hardly took notice of him!
One day, the girl fell ill and she knew her time was short. She thought
of her luxurious life and wondered, 'I now have four boyfriends with
me, but when I die, I'll be all alone. Thus, she asked the fourth
boyfriend, 'I loved you the most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I'm dying, will you
follow me and keep me company?' 'No way!', replied the fourth
boyfriend, and he walked away without another word. His answer cut
like a sharp knife right into her heart. The sad girl then asked the
third boyfriend, 'I loved you all my life. Now that I'm dying, will
you follow me and keep me company?' 'No!', replied the third
boyfriend. 'Life is too good! When you die, I'm going to marry someone else!' Her heart sank and turned cold. She then asked the second boyfriend, I have always turned to you for help and you've
always been there for me.. When I die, will you follow me and keep
me company?' 'I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!', replied the
second boyfriend.. 'At the very most, I can only walk with you to your
grave.' His answer struck her like a bolt of lightning, and the girl was
devastated.
Then a voice called out: 'I'll go with you. I'll follow you no matter
where you go.' The girl looked up, and there was her first boyfriend.
He was very skinny as he had suffered from malnutrition and neglect.
Greatly grieved, the girl said, 'I should have taken much better care of
you when I had the chance!'
In truth, you have four loves in your life.
· Your fourth Love is your body. No matter how much time and effort
you lavish in making it look good, it will leave you when you die.
· Your third love is your status, wealth and possessions. When
you die, it will all go to others.
· Your second love is your family and friends.. No matter how much
they have been there for you, the furthest they can stay by you is up
to the grave.
· And your first love is your spirit. often neglected in pursuit of
wealth, power and pleasures of the world.

his own life.

TVA Meeting Power Demand
During Cold Weather
Plunging temperatures across
the Tennessee Valley region
have caused the highest
demand for electricity so far
this winter.
“This is the first significant
demand period we’ve seen this
season,” said TVA Vice
President of Transmission and
Reliability Bob Dalrymple.
“Through our nuclear, hydro,
fossil and combustion turbine
generation fleet and purchased
power arrangements, TVA has
a diverse portfolio of resources
available to reliably meet the
need. TVA resources and
transmission system have
performed extremely well
during
these
challenging
conditions.”
TVA met a demand of more
than 31,300 megawatts on the
morning of Jan. 6. Demand is
expected to remain high
through Monday, Jan. 11. The
TVA system has a winter
capacity of more than 36,000
megawatts of available power
and at least 5,000 megawatts of
additional reserve power daily.
The all-time record winter
demand was set on Jan. 16,
2009, at 32,572 megawatts
when temperatures across the
Tennessee
Valley
region
averaged 9 degrees. The all-time
record demand on the TVA
power system was 33,482
megawatts on Aug. 16, 2007,
when temperatures averaged
102 degrees.
TVA is working to reduce
peak demand and improve
energy efficiency through a
number of programs such as
TVA’s Home Energy eValuation, which will be
available in 74 markets this
year. TVA is also expanding its
Efficiency
Advice
and
Incentives program to help
commercial customers reduce
their energy use. The goal is to
reduce growth in peak demand
by up to 1,400 megawatts by
2012, thereby reducing the need
for TVA to build more new
power plants, which could
affect future rates.
TVA is the nation’s largest
public power provider and is
completely self-financing. TVA
provides power to large
industries and 157 power
distributors
that
serve
approximately
9
million
consumers
in
seven
southeastern states. TVA also
creates economic development
opportunities and manages the
Tennessee River and its
tributaries to provide multiple
benefits,
including
flood
damage reduction, navigation,
water quality and recreation.
Playhouse Opens
45th Season With
GREATER TUNA
The Cumberland County
Playhouse will open its 45th
Season on January 16 with
GREATER TUNA, sponsored
by Dr. Stanley Bise, M.D.
Set in the fictional town of
Tuna, Texas, the “third
smallest” town in the state,
where the Lions Club roars and
Patsy Cline never dies. The
eclectic band of citizens that
make up the town of Tuna are
portrayed by only two
performers, making this satire
on life in rural America even
more delightful as they depict
all of the inhabitants of Tuna - men, women, children and
animals.
Playhouse favorites Jason
Ross and Daniel Black will
bring the entire population of
Tuna to life in a tour de farce of
quick change artistry, as they
portray the comic caricatures of
men and women who are young
and old, earnest and crotchety,
blissful and angry, changing
costumes and characterizations
faster than a jack rabbit runs
from a coyote. John Fionte,
whose production of ON
GOLDEN POND was an
audience favorite in ’09, directs
TUNA, with technical direction
by John Partyka and lighting by
Tonry Lathroum.
Tuna started out as a party
skit based on a political
cartoon. The show debuted in
Austin, Texas in 1981 and offBroadway in 1982. Created by
Joe Sears, Jaston Williams and
Ed Howard, the imaginative
authors turned the sketch into a
critically acclaimed production
that has entertained audiences
across the country ever since.
Tuna runs from January 16 –
April 19. Ticket prices range
from $13 for kids/students to
$24 for adults and the show is
suitable for junior high and up.
For ticket purchases, call the
box office at 931-484-5000 or

Decline In Traffic Fatalities
Over Holiday Weekends
NASHVILLE --- Preliminary
reports indicate ten people were
killed in Tennessee traffic
crashes during the 2009-2010
New Year’s holiday weekend,
compared to 12 fatalities during
the 2008-2009 New Year’s
holiday weekend. Statistics for
the 2009-10 New Year’s holiday
reflect the 102-hour time period
from 6:00 p.m., Thursday,

Sunday, January 3, 2010.
Ten people were killed in
eight fatal crashes during the
2009-2010 New Year’s holiday
period. Two of the ten fatalities
occurred in alcohol-related

of fatalities was a 16 month-old
child passenger who was not

AS APPEARED IN THE FENTRESS COURIER FEBRUARY 11, 2009 PAGE-A8
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor:
This letter is about our economy crisis and survival. Last week I attended the Good Jobs--Green Jobs
National Conference in Washington, D.C. with two staff members from Statewide Organizing for
Community eMpowerment. (We have two trips to Washington, D.C. already scheduled for 2010.)
About 3,000 people attended. I have never seen so many people that are usually at odds with each
other working together to find ways to save our economy, our people, and our environment. The people
were of all colors, religions, workers (union and non-union), the rich, the poor, political leaders, industries,
ordinary people, corporations, and people concerned about our environment.
We also met with our Congress members from Tennessee. We knew before we went that there is great
potential in Tennessee to create good jobs in Tennessee. That is why SOCM has already started preparing
a statewide campaign to help people and their local governments create good jobs in Tennessee. I am
working especially for this area. Fentress County is still a distressed county, according to ARC (Appalachian
Regional Commission). This means Fentress County is in the worst 10% of all counties in the U.S.A.
= highest poverty levels.
Never in my lifetime have I seen an opportunity so great for us as a county, a state, and a nation to
improve our lives and secure our future as we have at the present time.
We can do this by using present grants and loans and demanding that the U.S. stimulus package has
enough job incentives to fill our empty factories with good green jobs making solar panels, parts for wind
turbines, and all other alternative energy sources.
Farmers can produce products for bio fuels. Wood waste can make bio mass fuels. These are just a
few options, there are many others. We need grants and loans to install solar panels, geo thermal heating
and cooling systems, energy efficient windows and appliances on and in our homes, businesses and
government buildings and more.
We must join together and let our elected officials know that they work for us and ask them to join us
in this vision.
We must not continue depending on imported oil from hostile countries. We need a commitment like the
one that built the interstate hwy. systems.
Sincerely,
David D. Beaty

Food Bank Report
For December
In December, the Fentress
County Food Bank fed 758
families. A family may be one
person living alone, a couple, or
a couple with children. The
families they served in
November included 273 seniors,
412 children, and 964 adults.
Apparently the recession isn’t
over—they had 35 new families
sign up for food help.
The Food Bank gave out
about mountains of peanut
butter, green beans, corn, mixed
vegetables, and pork and beans.
They even gave out pound bags
of crumbled walnuts, courtesy
of USDA. The Food Bank
gave out ham, chicken, even a
few racks of ribs—none of
which they had to purchase but
got from USDA and Wal-Mart.
They gave out cakes, pies, and
cookies all donated by Food
Lion and Wal-Mart. Tractor
Supply sent several cases of
canned nuts, and Gary Choate
brought pick-ups full of bread
from his ministry in Clarkrange.
The Food Bank walk-in
freezer has been a blessing,
enabling them to accept loads
of USDA frozen ham and
turkey breasts. It has also
raised the electric bills by about
$100 a month.
December was a great month
for donations. The Food Bank
can only hope and pray the
Christmas spirit continues.
They accept food with great
thanks, and they love to get
money.
You can send
contributions to the Fentress
County Food Bank, P. O. Box
508, Allardt, TN 38504, or give
them to any of the volunteers
who work there.
The pictures are of some of
their volunteers working on the
Tuesday before Christmas.

Michelle Phipps Chosen
To Participate In
Master Teacher Project
The Appalachian Math
Science Partnership selects
teacher Michelle Phipps to
participate in the Master
Teacher Project
Lexington, KY, January 11,
2010: Alvin C. York Institute
mathematics teacher Michelle
Phipps will be attending
nationally recognized institutes
this winter as part of her
training
through
the
Appalachian Math Science
Partnership (AMSP) Master
Teacher Project. Ms. Phipps
will be traveling to Hilton
Head, SC later this month for
two days of intensive training
by the nation’s expert in
differentiated instruction Dr.
Carol Ann Tomlinson and a
one-day institute that addresses
math tools and strategies by the
nationally
recognized
education consultant Harvey
Silver.
Last spring, Ms. Phipps was
one of the 15 teachers selected
from over 50 school districts in
the AMSP region to be a part
of the Master Teacher Project.
The purpose of this intensive
two and a half year training
project is to develop expertise
in math and science teaching
that can be used to further the
work of the original AMSP
grant program whose overall
mission is to enhance the math
and science education of all
students in the Central
Appalachian region. The
AMSP Master Teacher Project
is designed to challenge the
participating teachers to, first
and foremost, fine-tune their
own teaching skills and then
share the knowledge and skills
they develop with educators in
their school, district and
region. Funding for the project
is
provided
through
a
supplement to the original
AMSP grant awarded to the
University of Kentucky by the
National Science Foundation.
Although the project’s aim is
to produce master teachers, the
group of 15 participants elected
to call themselves Appalachian
Teacher Partners instead of
master
teachers.
They
recognize that an effective
teacher never stops learning
and
growing.
As
an
Appalachian Teacher Partner
Ms. Phipps will be provided a
variety of experiences that push
her thinking and facilitate her
growth as a teacher and as a
partner of fellow educators in
an effort to provide the best
possible math and science
education to students in the
region.

Congratulations Darlene!
I'd like to start my column
today by wishing Elvis Presley
a belated Happy Birthday. He
would have been 75 years old
last Friday. I try to picture what
Elvis would look like at 75 and
for some reason I just can't get
that image in my mind. Of
course with hair coloring and
plastic surgery, he maybe could
have looked the same. But the
white hair on him would have
made him look distinguished,
I'm sure. I saw a TV interview
with Prisilla Presley on his
birthday and they asked her
what she thought he would be
doing now. She said still singing
and she thought it would be
gospel music.
I have a spaghetti recipe that
was his and I started to put it in
here today. I would like to say
Elvis gave me this recipe
himself but I can't say that. I
wish I could say that. It is a
recipe from Graceland. It
sounds like a good recipe and
the sauce is home made with
ground beef, seasonings, and
tomatoes, etc. and when the
spaghetti noodles are cooked,
you mix together. But the
cooking time on the sauce is 2
hours. That's why they make
spaghetti sauce in a jar now.
But if anyone wants the recipe,
I'll be glad to run it in my
column.
Today lets just eat broccoli.
Sorry Elvis.
This broccoli slaw is an easy
side dish with any meal or with
just a sandwich.
It is a good make ahead dish
and your taste buds will love it.
Mine did but then my fat cells
were crying because they
wanted dessert.
Broccoli
Slaw
with
Cranberries
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
3 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 (12 or 16-ounce) package
broccoli slaw mix
2 Gala apples, chopped
1 cup dried cranberries
Combine first 4 ingredients in
a small saucepan. Bring to a
boil; boil 1 minute or until
sugar dissolves. Remove from
heat, and cool; whisk in oil.
Combine slaw, apples, and
cranberries in a large bowl.
Pour vinaigrette over broccoli
slaw, and toss well. Cover and
chill. Serve with a slotted
spoon. Makes 8 cups.
I am looking forward to
teaching some sessions at the
January
23
Women's
Conference at Avery Trace
School. Maybe the snow and
cold will take a vacation that
week-end and I will see you
there.
Any questions or recipes to
share, just call me at 931-8392313 or e-mail me at
[email protected]. My
cookbooks are still available for
sale. In Crossville they are at
the Bible and Book Centre at
344 West Avenue; Livingston at
the Overton County News;
Fentress County with the
Fentress Courier. In Putnam
County they are at the
Cornerstone
Christian
Bookstore on West Broad
Street in Cookeville. In
Monterey they are at Buckners
Casual Wear and Benanna's
Store on Commercial Avenue.
Thank you to everyone who
has purchased one and I hope
you enjoy it.

Fentress Co. Preschool teachers were recently presented with
an Assistive Technology grant for Approximately $15,000 to
purchase equipment and serve as a model classroom for the
Upper Cumberland Assistive Technology Center operated
under the State of Tennessee Department of Education,
Division of Special Education, Office of Assistive Technology.
Presenting the award is Linda Archer, OTR/L, Upper
Cumberland Assistive Technology Center, to Amelia Sturgill,
classroom teacher at York Elementary and Ashli Westfelt,
Speech Pathologist Fentress Co. Schools.
Upper Cumberland Assistive
Tech. Center Selects Fentress
Co. Demonstration Classroom
The inclusion preschool
classroom at York Elementary
in Jamestown has been selected
as the Upper Cumberland
Assistive Technology Center
2009-2010 “technology rich”
demonstration classroom. The
classroom serves three and four
year old students both with and
without disabilities.
Sandy Conatser, Fentress
County Special Education
Supervisor, said, “We are very
excited about the opportunity
to introduce technology to this
preschool class. Several recent
studies have shown that
children acquire reading skills
sooner when they are in a
program that uses technology
supports for pre-literacy”.
The classroom will include
computer-based
language
development software as well as
interactive, “touch sensitive”
equipment designed specifically
for preschool age children.
“Children with disabilities
generally do well in inclusion
settings where they are working
and playing with normally
developing peers”, said Amelia
Sturgill, teacher in the selected
classroom. “The addition of
this type of technology will give
all our students equal access to
the learning environment”.
The Upper Cumberland
Assistive Technology Center,
the UCAT Center, was created
under a grant from the State of
Tennessee Department of
Education, Division of Special
Education, Office of Assistive
Technology.
The UCAT
Center provides access to
assistive technology evaluations
and
demonstrations
for
students
with
disabilities
throughout
the
Upper
Cumberland. In addition, the
grant is funding a technology
rich demonstration classroom
in each of five Upper
Cumberland counties.
The
grant was awarded to Overton
County Schools in 2008 and is
administered through the
Overton
County
Special
Education Department. More

First Alumni Day At
CHS A Great Success
Clarkrange High School, as
part of the school district's
"Plant the Seed” program,
sponsored the first "Alumni
Day" on January 6, 2010. The
event was planned to bring
back students currently enrolled
in or recently graduated from
post-secondary institutions to
encourage Clarkrange High
School students to set goals
while in high school for
education beyond the 12th
grade.
Kaye Bridges, counselor at
CHS, believes the event was
important to the “Plant the
Seed” goals. “We had two
objectives in mind for the day.
First, we wanted students who
already plan to continue their
education to be better prepared
for the next step. Second, we
wanted students who may not
think they can continue their
education to see former
students who had overcome the
same obstacles they face.”
The alumni just "told it like it
is." Many said they wished
they had studied more and
placed more emphasis on their
future goals while in high
school. They explained to the
high school students the
"shock" of college life. Students
also discussed
the selfdiscipline it takes to become
independent when parents,
teachers and peers are not there
to remind you of assignments
and deadlines. The alumni
talked very frankly about
making the most of the high
school days and answered all
questions from the students.

Planning Funds
Available For Private
Forest Landowners
NRCS EQIP Sign Up
Deadline is January 15th
Private forest landowners
seeking assistance to manage
their forests can now get help
with the cost of developing a
detailed forest management
plan.
The
USDA
Natural
Resources
Conservation
Service (NRCS) Environmental
Quality Incentives Program
(EQIP) is currently accepting
applications from landowners
to receive funding to hire
experts who specialize in
developing
multi-resource
forest management plans. The
application deadline is January
15, 2010.
“We want to make sure
Tennessee forest landowners
know that there are cost share
programs available, so they can
use them to improve natural
resources on their private
working lands, said Dwight
Dickson,
District
Conservationist for Fentress,
Pickett and Scott Counties.
Conservation practices help the
land by making it more
productive through improved
water quantity and quality, air
quality and wildlife habitat.
Private lands certification,
carbon markets, biofuels
initiatives and potential new
tree planting programs present
a myriad of forest management
opportunities for private forest
landowners. Many of the
federal, state and private
programs associated with these
opportunities
require
forestlands be managed based
on a tract (i.e. property) level,
multi-resource
forest
management plan. Having a
plan in place helps provide the
landowner with a path to
achieve their objectives and

positions them to participate in
other forest management
programs.
The Tennessee Department
of Agriculture Division of
Forestry provides similar
services with year-round signup
through
its
Forest
Stewardship
Program.
Landowners interested in either
plan are advised to contact
their local Division of Forestry
area forester who will help
them determine which plan is
more appropriate.
Demand for multi-resource
forest management plans is on
the increase as landowners
position themselves to take
advantage
of
new
opportunities to implement
forest management on their
properties, said State Forester
Steve
Scott.
Forest
Stewardship Program has been
providing this service for years,
but we are seeking partnerships
with other government agencies
and the private sector to ensure
the short term demand for
multi-resource
forest
management plans can be met.
EQIP is one such example of
how we hope to get more
assistance to landowners to
meet their individual objectives,
which ultimately benefit their
surrounding region through the
multiple benefits forests provide
to society.

and other forest land assistance
programs can be found online

A Fentress County Highway Department employee, identified as Rex Pullins, narrowly escaped
serious injury late Thursday night while pushing snow in the Pall Mall area when his truck slid
over a steep embankment, overturning and catching fire. Mr. Pullins had to kick out the
windshield to escape the burning truck. Fentress County Road Supervisor Butch Blevins said
he was very thankful that Pullins was not injured in the accident.

the lighting in all our schools with energy-efficient lighting,
which should result in an annual energy savings of $20,000. We
also have applied for funding to install broad-band Internet in all
the schools. We should know about that in April. This will be a
tremendous learning opportunity for our students,” he
continued.
“Technology-wise, we have made great leaps and bounds in our
efforts to prepare our students to go into the work force with our
‘Plant the Seed’ program and further education. Using our Title
I and federal funds, every classroom and every teacher next year
will have a lap-top computer and projector. I don’t know of any
other school system around that has that. We’re very proud and
very fortunate to have these great things going on in our school
system. The teachers are working hard, the administration and
principals are working good, and I can’t say enough about the
great job the classified employees are doing. There are a lot of
good things going on, and we’re moving on with the
accreditation, and they will be here in March for that.”
“If it will just thaw out enough to get back in school, we’ll be
in business,” Jones concluded.

York Splits
With Pickett
Following action by both
teams in holiday tournaments,
the York Dragons and
Dragonettes got back into
regular season action last week,
hosting Pickett County on
Tuesday night and splitting
with the Bobcats and Lady
Bobcats.
In the girl’s game, Pickett
County’s Terrah Garner was
practically unstoppable, scoring
35 points to lead the Lady
Bobcats to a 59-54 win over the
Dragonettes.
Behind 11 points by Garner
in the first period, the girls from
Byrdstown jumped out to a 169 lead and never trailed the rest
of the game, holding a 30-22
halftime advantage.
York’s Rachel Brown, who
scored 13 of her team-high 19
points in the second half, kept
the Dragonettes in stricking
distance, but they could never
overcome the deficit, as the
Lady Bobcats scored 11 of their
15 fourth-period points from
the free throw line down the
stretch to post the 5-point win.
In addition to Brown’s 19
points, Kelly Jones added 11
and Katelyn Butler 10 for the
Dragonettes, with Taylor Neely
and Ashley Wright each with 6
points, and Chelsea Cook with
2.
In addition to Garner’s gamehigh 35 points, Kayla Gibson
added 11 for Pickett County,
with Katelyn Beaty adding 5
and Mindy Green and Hannah
Davidson with 4 each.
York connected on seven 3point shots, with Katelyn Butler
hitting three, Taylor Neely with
2, and Rachel Brown and Kelli
Jones with one each.
Pickett County had six treys,
with Garner hitting three,
Gibson two, and Beaty with
one.
Pickett County hit 14 of 16
from the free throw line, while
the Dragonettes were 9 of 13
from the charity stripe.
In the boys’ game, it was a
barn-burner from the start,
with Pickett County taking the
early lead and holding a 4-point
advantage at the half, 24-20,
before the Dragons came on
strong in the second half to pull
out a 1-point win, 45-44.
Pickett County took an early
lead, holding a 10-6 lead at the
end of the first period, and the
teams battled to a 14-14
deadlock in the second period.
In the third period, both
teams went cold, but York
managed to gain 3 points to
make it a 1-point game going
into the final frame with the
Bobcats leading 29-28.
The fourth period was back
and forth, with the Dragons
taking the lead early in the
period and taking as much as a
5-point lead before the Bobcats
pulled back to within a point in
the final seconds.
Tyrel Asberry, who was the
game’s high scorer with 19
points, led York’s late charge
with 7 points in the final frame.
As it turned out, the
difference was at the free throw
line, as York hit 8 of 11 and
Pickett County 7 of 11 in the
final period.
For the game, each team had
16 field goals, and took 15 shots

Arkansas State.
The 6-foot-2 senior forward
finished 9 of 14 from the field
overall, and netted 24 points to
lead MTSU.
For the season, Brown is
second on the team in scoring
with 12.1 points per game,
second in 3-pointers made with
29, and first in block shots with
17.

Christmas
Tournament
December 28-30, taking wins
over
Bell
County
and
Monticello on Monday, then
falling to Wayne County and
Clinton County on Tuesday
and Wednesday.
In the opening round on
Monday, the Dragons took an
early lead over host Monticello,
14-7, and held that lead
throughout the contest.
The Dragons had to hold off
a furious fourth period effort by
their hosts, as Derrick Peyton
scored 15 of his game-high 28
points in the fourth period, as
Monticello mounted a strong
comeback effort but came up 5
points short.
The Dragons led 30-22 at the
half, and maintained that 8point lead going into the final
period 46-38 before Monticello
cut the margin to 5 as York held
on for the 5-point win, 64-59.
The fourth period turned into
a free-throw shooting duel, with
Monticello hitting 6 of 10, and
York connecting on 14 of 19,
including 9 of 10 by Anthony
Williams, who led the York
scoring with 17 points.
Brian Reynolds and Steven
Avery added 12 points each,
with Tyrel Asberry scoring 8,
Lance Mayunard 7, Cody
Stephens 5, and Will Wilson 3
points.
In addition to Derrick
Peyton’s game-high 28 points
for Monticello, Ryan Phillips
added 13.
Also on Monday, the
Dragons took on Bell County,
KY, posting a 65-59 win in a
contest that saw York overcome
an early 9-point deficit.
The Dragons were slow
getting started, falling behind
15-4 in the first period, but
came back in the second period
to close the gap to 8 at 28-20
behind 8 points by Anthony
Williams, and pulled to within
2 points in the third period, 4042, as Williams scored 6 points
in that period.
Will Wilson, who had only
scored 2 points in the first three
periods, came alive to lead York
to a 25-17 run in the final frame,
scoring 12 points in the period,
including 7 of 8 from the free
throw line.
Again it was good free throw
shooting that helped the
Dragons pull out the victory, as
York connected on 17 of 20
from the charity stripe. The
Dragons were 20 for 23 from
the free throw line for the game,
while Bell Co. only hit 9 of 21
from the charity stripe.
The Dragons hit seven 3point goals, including three by
Anthony Williams, who led
York in scoring with 18 points.
Will Wilson added 14, Tyrel
Asberry 13, and Brian
Reynolds 8, Cody Stephens 7,
Steven Avery 3, and Matt
Conatser with 2 points.
Ben Madun led the scoring
for Bell Co. with 24 points, with
Keith Lowe adding 15 and Kyle
Lee 15.
On Tuesday, in the semifinal
round, the Dragons fell to a
strong Wayne County team
after falling behind early.
York got off to a slow start,
allowing Wayne County to take
a 14-7 first half advantage, and
continued with cold shooting in
the second period, as Wayne
County pulled out to a
commanding 38-18 halftime
advantage.
Will Wilson again had a very
strong second half, scoring 6 in
the third period and ten in the
final frame to lead a comeback
effort, but it was too little too
late, as Wayne County
matching the Dragons to take
the 21-point win, 83-62.
Again, there were a lot of
fouls called in the game, with
York hitting 23 of 33, and
Wayne County connecting on
29 of 39.
In addition to Wilson’s 16
points, Tyrel Asberry added 15,
Cody Stephens 12, Brian
Reynolds 6, Anthony Williams
and Lance Maynard with 4
each, Jeffrey Rains and Gaven
Cook with 2 each,, and Matt
Conatser 1 point.
Wayne County had balanced
scoring with four players in
double figures, led by Gavin
Dunagin’s 18 points, with
Austin Shearer adding 17, Ryan
Hopper 16, and Travis Bell 15.
In the final round on
Wednesday, in the consolation
round, the Dragons took on a
strong Clinton County team
and fell by the score of 74-51.
Clinton County, behind a 12point first period effort by C.J.
Alfred, who led the scoring with
26 points, pulled out to a 27-12
advantage.
York came back with a good
effort in the second period
behind an 8-point effort by
Tyrel Asberry and made a brief
run, but only managed to cut
the lead by one at the half, 4329. Both teams scored 13
points in the third period, with
Clinton Co. holding a 14-point
lead going into the final frame
56-42, and then saw York go
cold again, scoring only 7
points in the period as Clinton
pulled out to the 23-point win.
York was led by Tyrel
Asberry with 21 points, with
Anthony Williams and Will
Wilson adding 10 each, Steven
Avery with 4, and Lance
Maynard, Brian Reynolds and
Matt Conatser with 2 each.
In addition to C.J. Alfred’s 26
points, Blake Williams added
21 to pace Clinton County.

3 Sons Farm Joins
Membership Of Am.
Angus Association
Cottrells Attend
BMW CCA 40Year Celebration
Oktoberfest is different
things to different people. For
some members, it’s an annual
ritual, a must-do opportunity
to get together with old friends.
For others, it’s the fun of
competition,
camraderie,
playing with cars, a family
vacation, a trek, a destination.
More than 775 BMW CCA
enthusiasts, of which more
than 272 identified themselves
as first timers, and another 300
plus were club racers and
instructors, converged on Lake
Lanier Islands, Georgia and
Road Atlanta for our 40th
anniversary Oktoberfest-Road
Atlanta 2009 celebration.
Of the first 5,000 members of
the BMW CCA, 308 are still
active in the Club, and 32
members of Group 308 made it
to Oktoberfest, where they
were honored at a champagne
reception and throughout this
5-day event.
Ed Cottrell from Jamestown,
Tennessee is included in this
prestigious group of members.
This was Ed’s first time to
attend Oktoberfest, and he is a
forty year member.
Ed
attended this event with his
wife, Marie, and also their
children Cathy, Caroline, Kevin
and Kieran. Ed’s son Kieran,
who is a 1995 York Institute
graduate now living in Bell
Buckle Tennessee and owner of
Bell Buckle Motor Works, got
to do something at Road
Atlanta that he has always
wanted to do -- he attended a
week long driving school, and
was able to be trained by an
instructor for that week.
Kieran was driving his 1988
BMW M3, one of 5,000 made
between the years of 1988 and
1990. Ed and Kieran’s photos
are in the December issue of
the national car magazine,
Roundel.
Daughter Cathy Potter, who
submitted this article, said:
“We had a wonderful trip, and
Ed Cottrell with his 2002 Mini Cooper S.
we enjoyed seeing our father at
a place he always wanted to
be...on
a
track.
Congratulations daddy... we
love you, and we thank you for
instilling in all of us the ability
to take care of whatever we
might be driving, and also to
your sons the knowledge to
work on BMWs and do it very
well. To Mom, thank you for
always taking such good care
of daddy; we are blessed to
have you as parents.”

USDA Enhances Integrity
And Defensibility Of Farm
Programs And
Streamlines Payment Limits
For Family
Nashville, TN, Jan. 4, 2010 –
Gene
Davidson,
State
Executive Director of USDA’s
Farm Service Agency in
Tennessee recently announced
that USDA is partnering with
the Internal Revenue Service to
reduce fraud in farm programs
and streamlining payment
limits for family farmers. The
actions are intended to
strengthen the integrity and
defensibility of USDA farm
safety net programs and help
the agricultural industry to
meet requirements included in
the 2008 Farm Bill.
"Today's announcement will
ensure that the producers who
depend upon the safety net of
USDA programs will have
future access to these programs
by enhancing the overall
integrity of the programs," said
SED Davidson. "It will also
provide more flexibility for
family farm operations across
the country."
As
part
of
the
announcement, USDA has
finalized a Memorandum of
Understanding
with
the
Internal Revenue Service to
establish
an
electronic
information exchange process
for verifying compliance with
the adjusted gross income
provisions
for
programs
administered by USDA's FSA
and
Natural
Resources
Conservation Service. This
agreement will ensure that
payments are not issued to
producers whose adjusted gross
income (AGI) exceeds certain
limits. The limits set in the 2008
Farm Bill are $500,000
nonfarm average AGI for
commodity
and
disaster
programs; $750,000 farm
average AGI for direct
payments; and $1 million
nonfarm average AGI for
conservation programs.
The electronic process that
USDA developed with IRS
reviews data from tax returns,
performs
a
series
of
calculations, and compares
these values to the AGI
limitations from the 2008 Farm
Bill FSA and NRCS will
receive a record that indicates
whether or not the program
participant appears to meet the
income limits. Written consent
will be required from each
producer or payment recipient
for this process. No actual tax
data will be included in the
report that IRS sends to
USDA. As part of the review
and
evaluation
process,
participants whose AGI may
exceed the limits will be offered
an opportunity to provide third
party verification or other
information to validate their
income.
Meanwhile, beginning with
the 2010 program year, USDA
has amended the rules that
govern the requirements to be
'actively engaged' in farming.
These rules apply to eligibility
for payments under the Direct
and Counter-cyclical Program
(DCP) or Average Crop
Revenue Election (ACRE)
program administered by the
USDA Farm Service Agency
(FSA).
USDA has implemented the
following change to permit
certain operations, most often
family-run operations, to meet
'actively engaged' in farming
requirements
under
less
restrictive rules.
Every
stockholder
or
member of a legal entity, such
as a corporation, does not have
to contribute labor or
management if both of the
following apply:
• at least half of the interest
in the legal entity is held by
stockholders or members who
are providing active personal
labor or active personal
management that altogether
qualifies as a significant
contribution to the farming
operation;
• the total direct payments
received, both directly and
indirectly, by the legal entity
and each of the members does
not exceed $40,000.
USDA
is
an
equal
opportunity provider, employer
and lender. To file a complaint
of
discrimination,

breed
registry
organization in Saint Joseph,
Missouri.
The
American
Angus
Association, with nearly 31,000
active adult and junior
members, is the largest beef

records
include
detailed
information on more than 16
million registered Angus.
The Association records
ancestral information and
keeps production records on
individual animals for its
members. These permanent
records help members select
and mate the best animals in
their herds to produce high
quality, efficient breeding cattle
which are then recorded with
the
American
Angus
Association. Most of these
registered Angus are used by
the U.S. farmers and ranchers
who raise high quality beef for
U.S. consumption.

Been Thinking
About Medicare
Part B?
By Kenneth S Hale
Social Security DM in
Cookeville, TN
If you are covered under
Medicare Part A, but originally
opted not to apply for Medicare
Part B, now’s your opportunity
to enroll in Part B. The general
enrollment period runs from
January 1 through March 31.
But first, you may be
wondering: what are Parts A
and B?
And why would
someone get one and not the
other? Here are the nuts and
bolts.
Medicare Part A (hospital
insurance) helps pay for
inpatient care in a hospital or
skilled nursing facility following
a hospital stay, some home
health care, and hospice care.
Medicare Part B (medical
insurance) helps pay for
doctors’ services and many
other medical services and
supplies not covered by hospital
insurance.
When you first become
eligible to apply for Medicare
Part A, you also have the option
of enrolling in Part B for a
monthly premium.
Some
people decide not to because
they do not want to pay the
premium or for other reasons.
But you may discover that as
your medical needs change, it is
to your advantage to enroll.
That’s where enrollment periods
come into play.
When you first become
eligible for Part A, you have a
seven-month period (your
initial enrollment period) in
which to sign up for Part B.
After the initial enrollment
period, you can only sign up
during a later year’s general
enrollment period.
Each year, the Medicare
general enrollment period runs
January 1 through March 31.
Your coverage begins the
following July. But keep in
mind that, for most people, the
monthly premium increases 10
percent for each 12-month
period you were eligible for, but
did not enroll in, Medicare Part
B.
So if you are covered under
Medicare Part A and you’ve
been thinking about applying
for Part B, now is the time to
act.
