OVERHEARD AT A LOCAL BALLPARK……
At one point during a game, the coach said to one of his
young players, "Do you understand what cooperation is
and what teamwork is all about?" The little boy nodded in
the affirmative. "Do you understand that what really matters is not whether we win or lose, but that we play together as a team?" The little boy nodded yes. "Good," the
coach continued. "And, when a strike is called, or you're
thrown out at first, you don't argue, curse, attack the umpire with a bat, or throw dirt in the opposing team members' faces. Do you understand all that?"Again the little
boy nodded, "Well, sure, coach. That's what you taught
us." "Good," said the coach. "Now, please go over there
and explain all that to your mother."
Before we can teach a love of God and others to our children, it must be in our own hearts. May God bless those
of you who are parents as you strive to do just that. May
your life be so filled with a desire to follow God that your
children will be open to hear all that you have to say to
them. - - Alan Smith. White House (TN) Church of Christ

weeks, as the General Assembly
is working to adjourn the 2010
legislative session by the end of
April.
Among legislation approved
in committees this week were
several bills to honor and
provide
assistance
to
Tennessee’s veterans.
This
includes legislation approved by
the Senate State and Local
Government Committee which
I am co-sponsoring that would
develop
and
encourage
relationships with veteranowned businesses that have not
always had access to state
government contracts.
The bill, Senate Bill 2785,
calls for state agencies actively
to solicit bids and proposals for
equipment, supplies, and
services from veteran-owned
businesses. These businesses
are defined as those which are
at least 51 percent-owned by a
veteran who has served
honorably on active duty in the
U.S. Armed Forces.
The
Department of Veterans Affairs
estimates that there are at least
548 veteran-owned businesses
in the state.
In separate action, the Senate
Government
Operations
Committee approved Senate
Bill 2488 that would create the
Veterans'
Honor
Medal
program to recognize and
honor distinguished service by
Tennessee veterans.
The
Department of
Veterans’
Affairs, under the bill, would
commission the design of a
medal for the program to which
gold or silver stars will be added
to indicate that an armed forces
member was killed or wounded
in action. The medal program
would honor both active duty,
National Guard and reserve
component veterans based on
criteria established by the
Department
of
Veterans
Affairs.
Veterans as well as the
governor, lieutenant governor
and speaker of the House
would serve in an advisory role
to the Commissioner of
Veterans’ Affairs in the
implementation of the medal
program.
Similarly,
the
Senate
Transportation Committee, in
which I am a member, approved
legislation that I supported to
authorize a “wounded warrior”
specialty license plate with
proceeds going to help with the
cost
of
rehabilitation,
readjustment and treatment of
veterans. The bill, Senate Bill
3416, would give first priority to
providing
assistance
to
members of the Tennessee
National Guard wounded in
conflicts in federal service and
then to all other disabled
veterans in the Armed Services.
Any remaining funds could be
used for other honorably
discharged veterans.
The
license plates would be designed
by the Department of Veterans
Affairs and, if approved, could
be ready for sale as soon as this
summer.
The
Senate
Education
Committee also approved two
military-related bills. The first
proposal, Senate Bill 942,
ensures that military personnel
who have taught as JROTC
instructors for at least two years
and are licensed to teach
another subject are credited
with their years of service in
JROTC instruction for the
purpose of salary rating.
The second measure, Senate
Bill 3022, authorizes local
education agencies to issue a
diploma to a student who failed
to receive one due to their
service in the Vietnam War.
Tennessee law already allows
for high school diplomas to be
issued to veterans whose
education was interrupted by
service in World War I, World
War II, or the Korean War. A
surviving spouse or other
immediate family member of a
deceased veteran may also
request the diploma.
Yager bill calls for Task
Force to look at burdensome
regulations
The Government Operations
Committee
approved
my
legislation this week by a vote
of 9 to 0 to create a 25 person
Task
Force
to
review
regulations
that
govern
residential and day providers
contracting with the Tennessee
Division
of
Intellectual
Disabilities. The aim of the
Task Force would be to
examine the matter and make
recommendations regarding
any unnecessary expensive
regulations to the governor and
the legislature by January 1,
2011.
Every county in my district
has providers. Burdensome
regulations that provide no
tangible benefit to service
recipients benefit no one. As
providers are forced to take
further reductions in rates paid
to them by the state, we must
look at ways to cut unnecessary
costs. It is hoped that with
legislative oversight and a date
certain for a report, that
progress can be made towards
agreements that will relieve
providers of
unnecessary
regulations while protecting the
needs of the service recipients.
Yager wins approval of bill
to strengthen professional
and ethical requirements for
state’s utility boards
The Senate State and Local
Government Committee voted
to approve legislation that I am
carrying this year to strengthen
the professional and ethical
requirements for utility boards
across Tennessee. The bill
requires 12 hours of continuing
education for commissioners
during a three-year period with
the educational materials being
approved by the Comptroller’s
office. Commissioners who do
not participate in this training
would not be eligible for
reappointment under the bill.
However, the bill would not
apply to members of gas utility
district boards who receive
extensive annual training as
reviewed by the Comptroller.
Utility Boards are vital to the
citizens of Tennessee, including
providing the means to run
water, sewer and gas lines
outside the municipalities.
Working with the utility
districts, we have established
training that will enable the
board members to better
discharge these important
duties.
It also requires that a county
mayor is notified in writing
when any member of the utility
board of commissioners are
absent for four consecutive
meetings. If a utility board
commissioner is indicted on a
matter related to their duties,
they would have to step down
under the bill, until the
indictment is cleared. If they
are subsequently convicted,
they would be suspended from
the board.
Legislation requiring drunk
drivers with a high blood
alcohol level to install
ignition interlock devices
overcomes major hurdle with
Judiciary Committee
approval
Legislation designed to
increase the use of ignition
interlock devices to curb the
number of alcohol-related car
crashes overcame a major
hurdle this week with approval
by the Senate Judiciary
Committee. The bill, Senate
Bill 2965 as amended, provides
those convicted of drunk
driving with the option to
install an interlock device
instead of being geographically
restricted by the court. I am cosponsoring this legislation and
believe these devices will help
save lives.
Courts often restrict those
convicted of drunk driving to
traveling only to work and
home. The restriction routes
can be difficult for law
enforcement
officers
to
monitor. Officers would easily
be able to see if a convicted
offender has a court-ordered
interlock device, which would
be installed at the offender’s
expense.
Interlock devices are small
pieces of equipment attached to
the steering wheel of a car with
a tube that the driver must
breathe into in order to allow
ignition to start. The current
alcohol ignition interlock
technology makes it easier for
courts to require drunk drivers
to utilize the device.
As of
January, 2,743
Tennessee driver’s license
holders had an interlock
restriction, while 580 license
holders had an interlock device
installed. Eight other states
already have laws that require
DUI offenders to install
interlock devices if they register
.15 or higher. The National
Transportation Safety Board
has urged Tennessee to pass a
more uniform and mandatory
system for installation of
interlock devices for those
convicted of drunk driving.
Senate Committees vote to
send Congress message on
highway transportation
funding and proposed
greenhouse gas emission
regulations
The full Senate adopted two
separate resolutions this week
to send Congress a message on
both highway transportation
funding
and
proposed
greenhouse
gas
emission
regulations.
The
first
resolution,
House
Joint
Resolution 752, asks Congress
to repeal the current highway
transportation funding formula
and permit each state to retain
all federal fuel taxes it collects
from motorists within its
borders.
It also asks
Washington to allow the states
to have responsibility for their
own transportation programs.
Tennessee is among two
dozen “donor states” that pay
far more fuel taxes into the
federal Highway Trust Fund
than they receive in return.
Congress utilizes a flawed
formula, developed in 1956, to
determine the amount of
federal fuel tax revenues each
state receives.
The second resolution, Senate
Resolution 200, asks Congress
to adopt legislation to postpone
the Environmental Protection
Agency’s (EPA) efforts to
regulate
greenhouse
gas
emissions from stationary
sources until they pass a more
balanced approach that does
not cripple the economy. A
stationary source in air quality
terminology is any fixed emitter
of
air
pollutants
like
manufacturing facilities, power
plants,
hospitals
and
commercial establishments.
Officials fear that the EPA’s
plan to utilize authority
provided under the Clean Air
Act to regulate greenhouse gas
emissions from new cars and
light trucks will trigger other
onerous permitting regulations.
This includes greenhouse gas
emission
regulations
on
businesses and other facilities
that would deter investments
and lead to job loss. It would
also overwhelm state agencies,
which are not equipped to
handle the estimated six million
requests that would be
generated under the proposed
federal action.
Legislation would work to
ensure that physicians who
are registered sex offenders
are not granted medical
license
The
Senate
Judiciary
Committee has approved a bill
to require the Board of Medical
Examiners to deny the
application for licensure or
revoke the license of a physician
convicted of an offense which
requires registration as a sexual
offender. The bill, Senate Bill
3362,
provides
for
communications between the
Tennessee
Bureau
of
Investigation’s
(TBI)
Sex
Offender Registry and the
Board of Medical Examiners
within 30 days to assure
notification is given. It also
requires the Medical Examiners
to make sure that no existing
physician is currently listed on
the Registry.
The action comes after a
mother in Middle Tennessee
learned her child’s family
practice physician was listed on
the state’s Sex Offender
Registry. The doctor had been
convicted of first-degree rape
and sexual abuse of a young girl
in 1987 before moving to
Tennessee.
He obtained a
medical license in Tennessee in
1992 after being turned down
by two other states. The state
later renewed his license, even
after the TBI listed him as a
violent sex offender.

I know you are enjoying this
nice spring weather. I think we
are ready for the sun to shine
and the flowers to bloom. My
younger grandchildren were at
my house on Saturday and the
sun was just too pretty to stay
indoors. Late in the afternoon
they rode their bikes down the
driveway. I had went back
inside the house and George
was still outside. I heard Haley
the 7 year old talking to
"Poppy" with an excited voice
so I went to see what the
excitement was. Haley said,
"Grannie, there was a big white
dog in the driveway and we
didn't know whose dog it was
and we think it has diabetes."
She meant to say rabies, of
course, so we had to smile when
she said that. I told Haley that
it is our neighbors dog and
sometimes she does come over
but she is gentle. But I wanted
to say, "should we prick her
finger?" There is never a dull
moment with grandchildren.
Easter will soon be here and
as Christians, we know that this
is the best holiday. As mothers
and grandmothers, we enjoy
this day as a time to bring
family together. Today I have a
recipe for using that leftover
ham you may have for dinner.
Ham and Brown Rice
1 14-ounce can low sodium
chicken broth
2 1/2 cups cooked chopped
ham
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 1/2 cups uncooked instant
brown rice
1/2 teaspoon ground black
pepper
2 cups frozen peas
In a skillet, combine broth,
ham, and garlic. Heat to
boiling. Stir in rice and black
pepper. Reduce heat to a
simmer, cover and cook for 10
minutes. Uncover; add peas
and cook about 4 minutes more
until rice is tender and peas are
hot.
Optional: Sprinkle 2
tablespoons grated Parmesan
cheese on top if desired. Serve
immediately. If desired, this
recipe is easy to double and
freeze, so you'll have extra for a
future meal. To lower sodium,
substitute cooked lean pork for
the ham and omit Parmesan.
This makes about 6 servings.
I was recently at a school
making fruit smoothies and
teaching
about
calcium.
Someone had asked me about a
smoothie recipe and this is a
good one.
Fruit Smoothie
1 cup skim milk
1 cup plain low fat yogurt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups frozen strawberries
Combine first 4 ingredients in
container of electric blender;
process
until
smooth.
Gradually add strawberries;
process until smooth and
thickened. Makes about 3 and
3/4 cups. About 73 calories per
5/8 cup serving.
Fruit
substitutions: 16 oz. can sliced
light peaches or crushed
pineapple.
If you need any help with a
recipe or have a question or
need one of my new
cookbooks, just give me a call
at 931-839-2313 or e-mail me

Research has shown that
there are five factors that aid in
lowering the incidences of child
abuse.
These are called
protective factors. The first
protective factor is nurturing
and attachment.
It is
imperative
that
children
develop a bond with an adult in
the early years of life. Research
shows that the type of bonding,
whether positive or negative,
will have an effect on all aspects
of behavior and development.
Positive bonding experiences
allow children to develop trust
with adults. They are able to
trust their parents to provide
their basic needs, as well as,
love, guidance, and protection.
Research also indicates that
babies who receive nurturing
from their parents have the best
chances
of
healthy
development. Children who
have
these
positive
relationships in their early years
will have healthier behaviors,
higher
academic
grades,
positive peer interactions, and
an increased ability to cope
with stress.
The second protective factor
is knowledge of parenting and
of
child
and
youth
development. There has also
been a link with effective
parenting and healthy child
development. Children are able
to reach their full potential
when parents are able to
provide
affection,
communication,
listening,
consistent rules, expectations,
and safe opportunities.
The third protective factor is
parental resilience. This means
that a parent has the flexibility
and inner strength to bounce
back when things are not going
well. In other words, these are
parents who can deal with
everyday life issues as well as an
occasional crisis. There are
stressors that many reduce a
parent’s ability to cope
effectively. The following are
some examples of stressors,
history of abuse or neglect,
marital conflict, domestic
violence, health problems, and
financial stressors.
The fourth protective factor
is social connections. It is very
important for parents to have a
social network of supportive
family and friends. This makes
it easier for parents to care for
their children and themselves.
Most parents need someone
they can call when they need
advice or someone to listen.
Research has indicated that
parents who stay isolated are at
higher risk for child abuse and
neglect than those who have
social connections.
The last protective factor is
concrete support for parents.
Families who are able to
provide their own basic needs
are better suited to ensure the
safety and well-being of their
children. Also parents who
know what resources are
available and access them –such
as childcare, healthcare, mental
health services- help prevent
unintended neglect that can
occur when parents cannot
provide for their children.
Join the Fentress County
Children’s Center in promoting
these protective factors in our
community.

Tell Me Some Stories
I Hate To See That Evening
Sun Go Down
By William Gay
(Reviewed by Mary Ann
Padget)
What would a long trip
without a recorded book be
like? I hate to think. I Hate to
See that Evening Sun Go
Down has a few scratches, but
you can still keep up with some
of the best short stories I’ve
read/heard in a long time.
William Gay is a Tennessee
writer better known for his
novels than for his short
stories. I’ve liked his novels
(available in the Fentress
County Library) well enough,
but was knocked out by some
of his short stories. I think he’s
a better short story than a
novelist, having a real gift for
developing a character with a
few well-chosen details and
incidents.
What kind? The best stories
in I Hate to See that Evening
Sun Go Down center on elderly
people who are bewildered,
angry,
and
downright
belligerent toward a world that
has changed. For years they
have gone about their farming,
logging, etc., and suddenly they
are hurled into situations that
are completely strange to
them. Mostly rural folk, men
who have always been
independent and in control of
their lives and surroundings,
are treated like children by their
sons, abandoned (justifiably) by
their wives, bullied by the
government. Suffice it to say,
they do not go gentle into that
good night.
Some of the stories deal with
young people. Notable is one
about a teenaged girl seduced
and impregnated by the local
tail hound. When he tries to
abandon her (and take the air
conditioner), she gets even. I
cheered. A young man whose
wife has left him is mentored in
an unlikely way by an exbootlegger.
Some reviewers, to my
surprise, dismissed Gay’s
stories as Faulkner wannabes. I
think they are wrong. Both
writers deal with loss, but while
Mississippian Faulkner is
baroque
and
elegiac,
Tennessean Gay is precise,
steeped in country ways. Gay’s
characters go down swinging
instead of moping.
If you like being read fine
stories by expert readers, by all
means check out I Hate to See
that Evening Sun Go Down.
The CD is waiting for you at
the Fentress County Library.

Jim’s Gems
By: Jim Rogers
As I sit to write this column
it is Saint Patrick’s Day. Fiftyfive years ago today at 5 P.M.
my Mollie and I were married.
Glory!
As Trudy, in Steel Magnolias,
said, “Honey, time marches on
and eventually you realize it is
marchin’ across your face.”
Tracks it has left on my face are
wide and deep.
I long ago reached the place
where my friends don’t ask how
I feel, but ask where I hurt. I
used to be reminded of my
Daddy when I would see a
fireman, police officer, doctor
or airline pilot. Nowadays they
remind me of my kids.
I prized the t-shirt that I got
in Hawaii many years ago that
read, “I climbed Diamond
Head.” I never wore it. If I
wore it now, no one would
believe it. I need one that says,
“I climbed out of bed!”
I.F. Stone, journalist, said,
“If you live long enough, the
venerability factor creeps in;
you get accused of things you
never did and praised for
virtues you never had.”
Harvey Ullman suggested,
“Anyone who stops learning is
old, whether this happens at 20
or 80. Anyone who keeps on
learning not only remains
young, but becomes constantly
more valuable regardless of
physical capacity.” Professor
Scott Elledge reached the point
where he said, “It is time I
stepped aside for a less
experienced and less able man.”
One study revealed that an
average seventy-year-old man
has spent twenty-four years
sleeping,
fourteen
years
working, eight years in
amusements, six years at the
dinner table, five years in
transportation, four years in
conversation, three years in
education, and two years in
studying and reading.
His other four years were
spent in miscellaneous pursuits.
Of those four years, he spent
forty-five minutes in church on
Sundays, and five minutes were
devoted to prayer each day.
This adds up to a not at all
impressive total of five months
that he gave to God over the
seventy years of his life.
Even if this man had been a
faithful
churchgoer
who
attended Sunday school and
three one-hour services per
week, he would have spent only
one year and nine months in
church!
If you have a question about
this arithmetic, sit down and
figure out how you have been
using your time. How large a
portion of it is for the things
related to God? When you
finish this exercise, ponder what
Jesus said: “What good will it
be for a man if he gains the
whole world, yet forfeits his
soul?” (Matthew 16:26).

was taken from Michael P.
Green’s 1500 Illustrations for
Biblical Preaching.]

Signature HealthCARE
Announces New Corporate
Headquarters And
Innovative Partnership!
Signature HealthCARE is
thrilled to announce that it has
selected Louisville, KY as its
new headquarters location as
well as partnered to create the
International Center for Long
Term Care Innovation!
As one of the top 12 largest
long term care companies in the
U.S., Signature HealthCARE
started a diligent process 10
month ago to find a new
headquarters home which
resulted in three prime
locations: South Florida,
Tennessee, and Kentucky. All
three
states
aggressively
pursued incentivizing Signature
HealthCARE to move its
headquarters to their area.
After reviewing numerous
options, these three areas were
chosen based upon four major
criteria: quality and quantity of
healthcare talent (expected
growth plans), ability to expand
organizationally
(provide
services in new states),
partnerships
with
higher
education (key for this learning
company), and economic
operating costs for the
organization (the goal is to
remain the low cost quality
leader). With aggressive growth
plans, an excellent corporate
citizenship track record, and a
thorough
review
process,
Louisville, KY was a great
match for the company.
Equally exciting, Signature
HealthCARE has partnered to
create International Center for
Long Term Care Innovation
with University of Louisville
and Nucleus with a goal to
collaborate with other senior
care organizations.
This
company is focused on the
commercialization of research
and industry generated ideas
specifically in the Long Term
Care sector. The International
Center for LTC Innovation
specializes in accelerating the
development
of
health
technology and services based
innovation. The Center will be
one of the first tenants in the
new
location
Nucleus,
Kentucky’s Life Science and
Innovation Center, is building
on the old Haymarket site in
downtown Louisville.
Only two years old, Signature
HealthCARE is founded on
three main organizational
pillars:
intra-preneurship,
learning, and spirituality.
Signature’s mission is to
radically transform long term
care in the U.S. through
resident-centered care and
employee
empowerment.
Currently, Signature employs
more than 125 headquarter jobs
and approximately 11,000
nationwide with a goal to
expand
headquarter
employment to approximately
170 within the next two years.
The company believes its
pillar concept is a unique model
and
has
changed
the
organization
dramatically,
evidenced
by
Signature
HealthCARE receiving three
“Best Places to Work” awards
from prestigious publications
including
South
Florida
Business Journal, Florida Trend
Magazine,
and
Modern
Healthcare Magazine. Having
engaged,
dedicated,
and
innovative employees foster
better quality care for residents.

TOWNSEND, Tenn.—The
ever popular Dancing Bear
Bicycle Bash, normally held in
early April, has moved to April
30 – May 2 this year. The
event is expected to once again
attract a wide range of riders,
from beginners and families to
avid racers. There will be
scheduled road and mountain
bike rides, games, prizes, and
demonstrations of equipment
and accessories.
“The turnout for our cycling
events has confirmed that there
is a demand for quality cycling
events, with great food, great
routes and great friends,” said
Matt Alexander, an avid cyclist
and managing partner of
Dancing Bear Lodge, the host
and headquarters location for
the event. “The interest just
keeps growing, and positive
feedback from participants in
the past Bashes was really
overwhelming. It has become a
tradition, and we are very
excited to hold this Spring’s
event the first of May knowing
we will have excellent weather.”
David T., past guest and avid
cyclist posted on Facebook,
“Can’t wait. The Bike Bash is
the premier cycling event in the
Southeast.”
Once again, Dancing Bear
Lodge and Cycology Bicycles
have secured Trek Bicycles’
demonstration trailer and
Trek’s WSD (Women’s Specific
Design) demonstration trailer.
Trek will provide road bikes
and mountain bikes for guests
of Dancing Bear to ride the
routes of the bike bash and on
Dancing Bear’s trails.
“This is an amazing
opportunity to ride some of the
best road and mountain bikes
ever made,” said Alexander.
“Our guests will be able to test
Trek bikes on the road and
trails instead of just around the
local bike shop parking lot.”
The Bash will have its kickoff Friday evening with a
dinner party at Dancing Bear
Lodge in Townsend prepared
by Chef Jeff Carter. Like all
meals at Dancing Bear, it will
feature regionally inspired
cuisine prepared with fresh
ingredients, often from area
farmers and local artisanal
producers.
On Saturday
morning, Dancing Bear guests
will meet for breakfast in the
Lodge and then enjoy a choice
of rides ranging from the scenic
30 mile route along the Little
River up to a challenging 60
miles of rural roads.
“With the development of
Townsend’s nine mile bike trail
that runs through town
providing historic markers
educating people about the
community’s rich heritage,
along with endless rural roads
to
ride,
the
cycling
opportunities are abundant in
the area,” said Herb Handly,
executive vice president of
tourism for the Smoky
Mountain Convention and
Visitors Bureau. “The Bicycle
Bash is a great weekend escape
for those looking to get out and
experience
the
Smoky
Mountains in the spring, and in
addition to the rides, there are
plenty of things to keep all ages
occupied and entertained at the
lodge and throughout the
Townsend community.”
Mountain biking is also a
ride option on both Saturday
and Sunday.
“Our mountain-bike trails
are awesome, we offer an
exciting and challenging course
right on property,” Alexander
said. “All guests are invited to
gather Saturday afternoon for
an outdoor celebration hosted
by the Lodge that will include
bluegrass music, beer and
barbeque. Several guests have
commented they return to the
bike bash just for the post ride
meal. Chef really outdoes
himself for the riders.”
Weekend Dancing Bear
Bicycle Bash package rates are
available for lodge rooms as
well as the one and twobedroom cabins and include
two nights’ lodging, Friday
night
reception,
daily
breakfast, t-shirt and the
Saturday
celebration.
Registration for the ride is
included in the package price
for guests of Dancing Bear
Lodge and includes Saturday’s
rides as well as social pace
guided ride on Friday and road
or mountain biking on Sunday.
The ride is open to local cyclists
as well as guests of Dancing
Bear Lodge. Registration for
cyclists not staying at Dancing
Bear Lodge is $40.00 and
includes the ride, t-shirt and the
post-ride party.
Friends and family members
of cyclists who do not wish to
ride will enjoy numerous
activities at Dancing Bear
Our Dad...bigger than life at
88! He was one of six kids
growing up during the
Depression era. His parents
were Barlow and Avo Rains
and his grandfather was John
Marion Rains, one of the first
settlers in the Valley of the
Three Forks of the Wolf. Dad
was a boxer and welder before
WWII called him to the
European theater, where he
earned
several
medals
including The Bronze Star. He
left behind his “Sweet Pea,”
Avadean Walker, but he did
not forget her. She was doing
her war effort in an airplane
factory in Michigan, saving
money for his return so they
could start their new life
together. And they did. Many
are the memories of our father
“opening up” the store for
some mother who had run out
of milk, or giving gas to
someone so they could get to
the doctor, or cosigning on a
note with someone down and
out on their luck. He would
deliver groceries as far as
needed. 40 years as a small
business owner, farmer, and
poker player provided food
and education for his four
children. Most of us never
gave him odds on making it
past 60--he liked the real
occasional medicinal sip,
smoked cigars till we thought
we would choke, had (has) a
fierce temper, and loved
Mother’s chocolate and chess
and butterscotch pies! But a
diabetes diagnosis and Dr.
Doug saved him from food and
drink, and Forbus and Pig
have kept him going. He is still
telling tall tales, still pulling
jokes, still playing Pig, and still
has that temper! And, oh yeah,
he still has those four
wonderful children and one
long suffering wife who keeps
him in line! Happy Birthday,
Dad. We love you!

Allardt 8th Graders Visit Tennessee Tech
The eighth grade classes at Allardt Elementary School visited the campus of Tennessee
Technological University in Cookeville and learned about the entrance requirements, costs,
college life on campus, bachelor degree choices, and even how good the food is in the cafeteria.
They were able to visit a biology class and learn about various live snakes. The students were
accompanied by their eighth grade teachers, Rhilda Gastineau and Linda Wheaton, as well as
their school counselor, Sam Wood. The trip was funded by a grant from the Tennessee

Middle Tennessee Ends
Season in Heartbreaker
Brandi Brown Gets
14 In Final Game.
Middle Tennessee led for 38
minutes but could not close the
door as Mississippi State rallied
for a 68-64 victory Sunday in
NCAA Tournament First
Round action at the Petersen
Events Center in Pittsburgh, Pa.
The Dayton Region contest
pitted the No. 10 seed Blue
Raiders and No. 7 seed
Bulldogs.
Middle Tennessee (25-6)
placed all five starters in double
figures and jumped out to a
double-digit lead in both halves,
including a game-high 15-point
cushion at 9:11 of the first
period when All-American
Alysha Clark grabbed a
backcourt steal and raced to the
other end for a layup to make it
21-11.
The Blue Raiders had netted
the game's first four points and
withstood a 5-2 Mississippi
State push to keep the margin at
one, 6-5, with 16:17 remaining
in the stanza. Middle Tennessee
responded with a 10-2 run,
capped by an Anne Marie
Lanning 3-pointer, forcing a
MSU timeout and extending
the lead to nine, 16-7, at 13:25.
After the Bulldogs cut the
deficit back to five, 16-11, with
exactly 12 minutes to play,
Clark's layup was part of a 100 Blue Raider surge during the
next three minutes to increase
the gap to the game-high 15.
The MT advantage remained
in double figures at 10, 27-17,
when Clark was called for her
third personal foul with 4:13
left, sending her to the bench
the remainder of the half.
Mississippi State (20-12) then
took control, outscoring the
Blue Raiders 11-3 down the
stretch, featuring four points
from Armelie Lumanu and four
by Alexis Rack to enter the
halftime with Middle Tennessee
ahead, 30-28.
The Blue Raiders kept the
margin at five following a
Brandi Brown triple with 18:01
to play and Chelsia Lymon
adding another just under two
minutes later as the teams
entered the first media timeout

of the second stanza with MT
in front, 42-37. After an icy first
half, Jackie Pickel started to
light up in the second period
and her 3-pointer with 13:24
remaining
put
Middle
Tennessee ahead, 47-41.
Mississippi State, however,
would not go away and fourstraight points, capped by a
Rack trey at 11:46, cut the gap
again to one, 47-46. The Blue
Raiders then went back to
Clark, and her layup a minuteand-a-half later ignited an 11-2
run during the next four
minutes helped propel MT back
in front, 58-48, with 7:48 to go.
The lead remained nine, 6455, on another Lanning
3-pointer, but Rack countered
with one of her own and scored
twice more in a 9-0 Bulldog
spurt to tie the game at 64-64
with 1:27 to play. Middle
Tennessee was only able to
manage one more shot, a layup
attempt by Clark at 1:12, while
Lumanu recorded the final four
points for Mississippi State to
seal the final score.
Chanel Mokango led the
Bulldogs with 20 points and 14
rebounds, while Rack chipped
in a game-best 21 points,
including four 3-pointers.
Lumanu added 12 points for
Mississippi State.
Clark paced the Blue Raiders
with 17 points and 14 rebounds
for her 75th career doubledouble, 37th at Middle
Tennessee and 20th of the
season. She finishes in a tie for
fourth with LSU's Sylvia
Fowles on the NCAA's all-time
list with 75 double-doubles,
while her 37 double-doubles tie
for third in school history. She
netted 2,852 career points,
ranking 12th in NCAA history.
Brown added 14 points,
including four triples, while
Lymon, Pickel and Lanning
each contributed 11 points.

COOKEVILLE – Modern
technology has increased the
ability to keep in touch with
friends
and
family
or
communicate
with
congressmen, state, and local
government officials in virtual
real time. Instant messages and
e-mails are the norm in
conversation transcending the
separation of being across
town or across country. The
Internet holds an abundance of
knowledge just a mere mouse
click or search box away. As in
all things however, if one
doesn’t know how to use these
things, then what good is it?
More homes have internet
access than ever before and the
trend is continuing. For some,
especially senior citizens, the
internet can be confusing or
intimidating.
“Our agency and Career
Centers are always trying to
find ways to help those who
need it,” said Phyllis Bennett,
Executive Director of the
Upper Cumberland Human
Resource Agency, “and this
program
provides
an
opportunity for people to enter
into the Information Age with
more confidence.”
Digital Inclusion is a free
program offered through the
Upper Cumberland Human
Resource
Agency
in
conjunction
with
Senior
Service America, Inc. Charles
West, UCHRA’s Older Worker
Program Manager, stated,
“The
Digital
Inclusion
Program does more for people
than just teach computer skills.
Studies have shown learning
new skills increase life spans
and quality of life. Improving
quality of life is what our work
at the UCHRA is all about.”
Even though participation is
targeted for senior citizens,
there is no set age limit. It is
designed to decrease the
intimidation factor of using the
internet, while teaching basic
skills including web searches
and email. The program has
no set course and instructions
are given to students as they
progress at their own pace. The
Social Security Welcomes Your Ideas
By Kenneth S Hale
Social Security DM in Cookeville, TN
In support of President Barack Obama’s
Transparency and Open Government initiative,
Social Security has launched a new Open
Government webpage.
The new webpage serves as the portal for all
agency activities that support the President’s
Transparency and Open Government initiative.
It’s
open
for
the
public
at
www.socialsecurity.gov/open.
“Our new Open Government webpage gives
Americans an opportunity to give us their ideas
on how we can become a more open and
transparent agency,” said Michael J. Astrue,
Commissioner of Social Security. “They will be
able to post their ideas on transparency,
participation, collaboration, and innovation that
should be included in our Open Government

Gov. Beshear, Mayor Abramson Announce
Signature HealthCARE to Move National
Headquarters to Louisville, Create Country’s
First Long-Term Care Innovation Center
Move to create more than
120 new high-paying
Kentucky jobs, further
enhance aging care industry
in Louisville
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (March
15, 2010) – Governor Steve
Beshear and Louisville Mayor
Jerry Abramson recently joined
officials
from
Signature
HealthCARE LLC, a longterm
healthcare
facility
operator based in Palm Beach
Gardens, Fla., to announce the
company will relocate its
national headquarters to
Louisville.
The move will initially create
96
new
jobs
in
the
Commonwealth, growing to
more than 120 new Kentucky
jobs with an average annual
wage
exceeding
$75,000,
exclusive of benefits. The new
headquarters location will also
result in a nearly $5.4 million
investment.
“Kentucky is proud to once
again attract an industryleading
headquarters
operation, creating more than
120 new high-paying, quality
jobs,” said Gov. Beshear. “The
location
of
Signature
HealthCARE’s
national
headquarters helps to solidify
Louisville as a leader in the
aging care industry and is a
testament to the business
climate and quality of life
Kentucky offers.”
“The leaders at Signature
HealthCARE are running what
is one of the most innovative
and compassionate senior care
companies in America,” said
Mayor Abramson. “The fact
that they’ve chosen Louisville
for their headquarters adds yet
another company to the city’s
growing senior care industry.”
Signature HealthCARE, one
of the fastest growing privately
held companies in the United
States, operates 66 long-term
healthcare facilities in seven
southeastern
states
and
employs nearly 11,000 people.
The company will acquire a
65,630 square-foot facility
located at 12201 Bluegrass
Parkway in Louisville, which
will serve as its national
headquarters
including
corporate management and
facility operational support
functions.
“Signature HealthCARE is a
unique organization that
believes it can radically
transform long-term care in
this country through its key
organizational pillars: intrapreneurship, learning and
spirituality,” said E. Joseph
Steier III, president & CEO of
Signature
HealthCARE.
“Louisville, Kentucky will
provide a great central location
with one of the best quality of
life environments for families,
rich university partnerships
and an amazing talent pool to
foster aggressive growth. A key
differentiator for the decision
was the true collaborative effort
of the economic development
teams at both the state and
local levels. We welcome the
incentive package as support to
facilitate our move from south
Florida. Our team is truly
excited to call Louisville our
permanent home.”
Gov. Beshear also announced
Signature
HealthCare’s
partnership with Nucleus, the
University of Louisville’s
driving force behind a life
sciences hub in downtown
Louisville, to create the
International Center for Long
Term Care Innovation. As the
country’s first long-term care
innovation center, the center
will house and assist in the
development of early-stage
health technology and services
companies seeking to bring
new ideas to the aging care
industry.
“The University of Louisville
has several world class faculty
and research programs that are
engaged in aging care research
and
development.
Our
researchers are on the forefront
in senior-focused health care,
gerontology, geriatric medicine
and aging,” said Dr. James
Ramsey, president of the
University of Louisville. “As
the state’s life sciences and
innovation center, Nucleus has
everything it needs to establish
a center that will be a core
component of this communitywide effort.”
The location of Signature
HealthCARE helps to further
enhance Louisville’s economic
development
strategy
to
develop an aging care industry
cluster
in
the
region.
Louisville, which is at the
center of the growing aging
care industry in the United
States, is home to nearly 4,000
industry
professionals
producing over $14 billion in
revenue. Eight of the top 20
employers in the Louisville
metro area are health-related
businesses.
“The presence of world class
companies like Signature
HealthCARE in Louisville
solidifies our region as the
leader in the aging care
industry,” said Joe Reagan,
president & CEO of Greater
Louisville Inc. – the Metro
Chamber of Commerce. “The
synergy created by suppliers,
ground-breaking research and
firms catering to the lifestyle
changes
of
an
aging
demographic will lead to an
infusion of innovation and
activity around this important
business sector.”
The Kentucky Economic
Development
Finance
Authority
preliminarily
approved
Signature

up to $4 million through the
Kentucky Business Investment
program. The incentives can be

H1N1 Flu Virus Still
Active In Tennessee
Local Flu Activity Prompts
Reminder to Get Vaccinated
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The
Tennessee Department of
Health continues its efforts to
ensure the health of state
residents as cases of H1N1 flu
are still affecting some pockets
of the state. Though flu activity
has declined since late October,
recent activity across Tennessee
should encourage people who
have not been vaccinated to get
the H1N1 flu vaccine to protect
themselves
and
their
communities.
“The flu season is not over.
Recent cases of severe illness
and death serve as an
important reminder that the flu
virus can be serious,” said
Health Commissioner Susan
R. Cooper, MSN, RN. “Flu
activity caused by either H1N1
or seasonal flu viruses may rise
and fall, but we continue to
encourage Tennesseans to take
advantage of the ample
availability and opportunities
to get vaccinated.”
The flu virus is unpredictable.
On average, flu complications
result in more than 200,000
hospitalizations and 36,000
deaths in the United States
each year. The Centers for
Disease
Control
and
Prevention monitors H1N1
and other influenza activity
levels and trends through a
nationwide surveillance system.
Recent reports estimate that the
H1N1 flu has contributed to an
average of 59 million cases of
the
virus,
approximately
265,000
H1N1-related
hospitalizations, and as many
as 17,000 related deaths
between April 2009 and midFebruary 2010 in the United
States.
“The H1N1 flu virus has
caused substantial outbreaks
of disease outside of the
normal influenza seasons,” said
State Epidemiologist Tim F.
Jones, MD. “Our surveillance
systems show that the virus is
still active in Tennessee and
could continue to cause local
outbreaks for weeks or months.
The best protection against this
is vaccination.”
H1N1 flu vaccine is widely
available throughout Tennessee
to anyone who wishes to receive
it, and it’s not too late to get a
flu vaccine this season. To get
information about vaccine
availability, contact your health
care provider or your county
health department. H1N1 flu
vaccine is still being offered at
no cost to patients at county
health department clinics
across the state. Additionally,
retail locations are offering the
vaccine for a fee. Visit the
TDOH Flu Shot Locator
online
at
http://health.state.tn.us/fluclini
c/default.aspx to find a location
near you.
The Tennessee Department
of Health continues to
distribute
flu
prevention
posters free of charge to
businesses,
government
agencies and the public
encouraging residents to get
vaccinated, practice respiratory
etiquette and stay home when
sick. “What do you do to
prevent the flu?” posters are
readily available for pick-up at
local
county
health
departments for distribution
and display at public locations
throughout the community.

Don’t Overlook The Most
Important Investment
This Tax Season –
Tennessee’s Children
Path2College Simplifies
College Savings for
Tennesseans
NASHVILLE,
Tenn.—
Whether you are a savvy
investor or just beginning to
learn the ropes of financial
planning, this time of year with
the tax deadline quickly
approaching,
money
management is at the top of
mind for most Tennesseans.
And as always, the expression
“time is money,” rings true now
more than ever – especially as it
applies to saving for higher
education, which is something
that many families fail to focus
on because it can seem so
overwhelming.
State Treasurer David H.
Lillard, Jr. said the State of
Tennessee’s goal is to help make
college financially attainable for
Tennessee families, and he
offers some simple advice to
parents.
“An education makes a
dramatic difference in the life
and career path of a child, and
while I know the economy has
put a burden on many of our
state’s families, every dollar
saved really does help,” said
Lillard. “It’s important for
your family, for our children
and for the future of our work
force to focus on our children’s
education—it is an essential
expense that we must save for
today.”
Lillard suggests making
regular investments over time
and encouraging family, friends
and loved ones to help by
making
college
fund
contributions in lieu of buying
gifts.
“When your child is a toddler,
or even in elementary school,
you probably think about how
you’ll pay for his or her college
education
as
a
distant
concern—a thought that can be
put off until later,” Lillard said.
“However, with every day,
month and year that passes,
saving for college becomes
increasingly more difficult as
college costs continue to rise.
But, saving early and regularly,
even in small amounts, is a great
way to help offset the cost of a
college education. You have to
look at your long-term
objectives, not at the short-term
situation or circumstances.
Staying focused on your goals
and diversifying are key
investment strategies.”
To help Tennesseans achieve
their financial savings goals, the
State of
Tennessee has
partnered with Georgia to
promote the Path2College 529
Plan, a professionally managed
and tax-advantaged way for
Tennesseans to save for college
expenses.
The Path2College 529 Plan
can be used to pay for college
tuition and other qualified
expenses, such as certain room
and board and books and fees,
for colleges in Tennessee and
nationwide. The plan offers
seven investment options, no
sign-up, maintenance or thirdparty sales fees - only an annual
asset-based management fee of
less than 1%. Accounts can be
opened online with as little as
$25.
Any earnings in the
Path2College 529 Plan are
federal income tax-deferred and
withdrawals for qualified
expenses are also tax-free.*
“We have talked to many
families over the years, and
often we hear that saving for
college seems overwhelming
because it is such a large
expense, and many parents
don’t understand investing, so
they delay saving for their
children or simply don’t start a
529 plan,” said Chuck Penuel,
director of the Path2College
529 Plan. “We want to help
Tennessee families overcome
these fears and challenges, so
we’ve done everything we can to
provide a plan that is easy to
use and understand, even for
those who haven’t invested
before.”
Penuel said that people can go
online to learn more about their
options
and
enroll
at
www.Path2College529.com, or
they can call toll-free, 877-4244377, to speak with a college
savings specialist who can walk
them through the process.
“Once
an
account
is
established,
additional
contributions can be made to
the account by check, periodic
electronic funds transfer, or by
using
our
Automatic
Contribution Plan that allows
parents to schedule regular
monthly,
bi-monthly
or
quarterly contributions,” said
Penuel.
In addition to the Automatic
Contribution Plan, many
participating employers offer
regular contributions through
payroll deduction. Account
owners should contact their
benefits or payroll office to
determine if their employer
offers payroll deduction.
The Path2College 529 Plan is
managed by TIAA-CREF
Tuition Financing, Inc., which
is part of the TIAA-CREF
group of companies. TIAACREF was founded by Andrew
Carnegie and is one of the
largest financial services firms
in the U.S. with $402 billion in
assets under management as of
September 30, 2009

Fair April 15th
IN LOVING MEMORY OF
REED J. HOUNSHELL
HE WOULD HAVE BEEN
90 YEARS OLD MARCH 23
Today, you’re in a land where nothing ever
grows old enjoying all the sights of that
land with treasures untold. It’s good to
know that some day, I will join you there in
a land of great blessing and beauty so
rare. But today, I remember your earthly
birthday. The day, we once celebrated until
God called you away. The memories of
you are precious but with sadness too as
I remember the wonderful times, I spent
with you. But God helps me daily the
loneliness to bear and I have peace in
knowing that I am in His care. I praise Him
for the hope that I have within knowing
that some day, I’ll be with you and Him!
