Although the Upper Cumberland area did not experience conditions as serious as some areas to the west and north, many residents in Fentress, Pickett and portions of Putnam County awoke on Friday, March 13 to a covering of ice on trees and vegetation. While roadways remained just wet for the most part, as the temperatured hovered around the freezing point, there were numerous problems caused by falling trees due to the weight of the ice on them, which brought down power lines and also disrupted telephone and cable tv service. Volunteer Energy Cooperative reported that there were as many as 6,000 customers out of power in their Jamestown, Monterey, and Byrdstown service areas. In most areas, service was restored quickly, but in a few isolated areas, customers were without power until early Saturday. Along with the power and service outages caused by the storm, there was numerous reports of limbs breaking from trees, some falling onto homes Sale of Co.

FENTRESS COURIER, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 2009, PAGE A-3 County Commission (CONTINUED FROM PAGE A-1) Billy Campau, they approved a budget amendment in the amount of $2,309 for the Fentress Co. Office of Emergency Management Agency and Homeland Security to allow the agency to receive a reimbursement from FEMA and TEMA for severe weather damage and clean-up service provided by the units for February 2008. The grant was distributed equally among fire Units 1, 8, 6, 9, and Emergency Management, with each receiving a total of $461.80. On a motion by Joe Stewart, seconded by Gene Allen Roysden, they then approved solid waste amendments of $435 and $82,000 in local matching funds for a $250,000 Appalachian Regional Commission Grant to purchase a roll-off truck and a front loader truck. Jimmy Allen of Rural Development addressed the Commission concerning an issue which might have to be addressed concerning the sale of the former Park Shirt Company building, which had been constructed through a Rural Development Business Enterprise Grant. It was pointed out that there was a stipulation in the grant agreement that if the building was sold, that the county might have to pay back the money, based on the fair market value of the building. County Executive John B. Mullinix explained that in 1996 the county built the “spec” building shell, and later finished the building for manufacturing with the assistance of a Rural Development grant. The county later entered into a lease-purchase agreement with Leaventhal, and the company exercised their option to purchase the building early last year. Since Rural Development money was used, the building could not be sold without that money being repaid. Mullinix further stated that since the money derived from the sale of the building had gone into another economic development project, a water line expansion, the money might not have to be rapaid, and he would be working with the County Attorney, Industrial Board, and Rural Development to try to resolve this issue. Rick DeLaney with Morgan Keegan & Company then addressed the commission concerning a request by the Fentress County Board of Education to refinance the Pine Haven School bonds, which would result in savings of over $100,000 through 2015. Following a brief discussion, Michael Cross made a motion, seconded by Floyd Stephens, to approve the resolution authorizing this action, with all present voting vot. Next, the commission approved a motion by Pile, seconded by Bilbrey, to enter into a lease agreement with Twin Lakes Telephone Cooperative to locate a switching at the Mt. Helen fire department to allow for upgrade of their fiber optics and DSL service in that area of the county. They then approved a request for the General Sessions Court to charge a fee of $2.00 for computer access to help pay for computer equipment improvements to computer equipment, training, programs, and maintenance. Fentress Co. Ambulance Service Director Gary Peters then addressed the commission, asking for permission to apply for a United States Department of Agriculture, Rural Development grant of $400,000, which would be used to purchase three ambulance/emergency service vehicles. He said that the way the grant was structured, it was like buying 2 and getting one free. On a motion by Bilbrey, seconded by Stewart, this was approved. On a motion by Michael Cross, seconded by Roysden, they approved a request by Sheriff Chucky Cravens to declare four vehicles; a 1994 Dodge van, two 2003 Dodge Intrepid cars, and a 1999 Ford Crown Victoria car. No action was taken on the appointment of members to the Planning Commission from the second and fourth districts, as there was some disagreement as to whose authority this came under. Commissioner Bilbrey said that in the past, the commissioners from the district would make recommendations. Executive John Mullinix said that according to law, the county executive made the appointment, subject to the approval of the commission. County Attorney Tom Coleman then presented information which showed that Fentress County had collected more than $141,300 in delinquent taxes since July 1, 2008, and that they were working on another delinquent tax property sale in the near future. Commissioner Bob Pile then reported that the Doubletop Fire Department had received $23,000 from the insurance company to cover the cost of the fire truck that was wrecked last year, and that they were looking to buy a replacement truck for $30,000. They have some surplus equipment that they plan to sell to make up the difference, thereby not requiring any additional funds or budget amendments. With no other action to come before the commission, the meeting recessed at 8:00 p.m. Board Amends School Calendar (CONTINUED FROM PAGE A-1) the Top 10% of Test Scores in the State of Tennessee. A special award was then presented to Dr. Gerald Huddleston and Sandy Conatser in honor of the PreK Inclusion program being recognized as one of the best in Tennessee. The Clarkrange CrossCountry Team was recognized for placing second in the region and competing in the state, and the Clarkrange FFA team was recognized for placing second in the state in the Agri-Science Bowl. Next, the item which took up a good portion of the work session earlier in the evening involved the school calendar for 2009-10. Following some discussion, Philip Hall made a motion to have registration on August 12, with the first full day of school to be August 17; change the fall break from a full week to two days -October 15-16; have school on Veterans Day, Martin Luther King Day, and President’s Day, with appropriate programs to be held on each of those days; leave the spring break at a full week, but give the board the option to use the first days of the spring break if needed for snow days. Under the new proposal, schools would dismiss on May 26th. The motion also stipulated that August 14 would be designated as Fair Day. Hall’s motion was then seconded by Karen Cooper and passed without opposition. Under “Monetary” items, the board authorized Director of Schools Mike Jones to enter into an agreement to replace one school bus and issue a letter of intent to purchase three additional buses before next school year. On a motion by Russ Stephens, seconded by Frankie Campbell, the board voted to Authorize the Fentress County Commission to refinance the Pine Haven School Bond at a lower rate, which would result in savings of more than $100,000 over the final 6 years of the bond issue. Next, the board authorized line-item budget transfers for the IDEA and Pre-K programs, along with a general purpose budget amendment. They then authorized Director Jones to advertise for bids for mowing of the schools for the summer months, and extend the current mowing bid until the new bids were received and accepted. They next approved a special education and a regular education contract, as well as a special education training presenter contract. Board member BarbarA Pile Was then appointed to serve on the Sick Leave Bank Committee.

After setting the next meeting for Tuesday, March 31, with a work session to begin at 5:30 p.m., with the meeting to follow, the session adjourned at 8:20 p.m. Earlier in the work session, Director Jones commended the staff and school employees for being frugal with the budget and helping save money. “We thought we might have to dip into our fund balance, but it appears now that we’re not going to have to do that.” Fentress Co. Finance Director Joyce Crabtree also expressed her appreciation to the board, stating: “I appreciate the interest everyone has taken to save money. While our revenue is down, the board has saved enough to not have to get into the fund balance.” PAGE A-4, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 2009, FENTRESS COURIER Former Governors Host Reception April 6th at State Museum. Political Pioneer Anna Belle Clement O’Brien Honored as Humanitarian Leader Senator Anna Belle Clement O’Brien, known to many as the First Lady of Tennessee Politics, will receive the distinguished 2009 Humanitarian Leadership Award next month in Nashville. U.S. Senator and former governor Lamar Alexander, along with former governor Ned Ray McWherter, will host a reception in Senator O’Brien’s honor the evening of April 6th at the Tennessee State Museum. Governor Bredesen, Senator Lamar Alexander, and Governor McWherter plan to attend. Current and former members of the General Assembly, members of the Tennessee Congressional Delegation, and hundreds of supporters and friends of Sen. O’Brien are also invited. The reception, $100 per ticket, is open to the public with all proceeds to benefit the Clement Railroad Hotel Museum in Dickson, Tennessee. Since 1950, Anna Belle Clement O’Brien has wielded political power and used it for good—first with two governors, and later as a member of the General Assembly. Although Senator O’Brien was not the first woman elected to the Tennessee General Assembly, she was the first woman to serve as a Committee Chairwoman. Among her many accomplishments, Senator O’Brien was a fierce patient advocate. She changed laws that forced medical insurance companies to cover mammograms for women, an early cancer detection procedure that saves thousands of lives each year. Furthermore, Senator O’Brien was a champion for patient rights, helping pass the law that empowered patients to control their terminal care through a living will. In the Senate, she chaired the Transportation and Education committees, the Democratic Caucus, and helped pass significant education reforms under then Governor Lamar Alexander. “Anna Belle Clement O’Brien was and is one of Tennessee's most effective politicians. More than that, she knows how to work across party lines to make this a better state. Her decisive vote and leadership helped enact the Better Schools program creating Centers and Chairs of Excellence, Master Teachers and Governor's schools. Even more than all that, she has been an absolute delight to know and work with.” -- Senator Lamar Alexander. Former U.S. Congressman Bob Clement, who serves as chairman for the Clement Museum says Senator O’Brien is a wonderful example of the type of leader the museum will honor each year recognizing courage, leadership and outstanding humanitarian service. “My aunt Anna Belle always says politics is a beautiful word, because politics builds roads, politics builds schools, and politics builds communities. She, like my father, was not afraid to take on controversial issues if she felt it helped give people more equal treatment. She showed political courage in working through un-chartered territory such as medical benefits and patients’ rights,”— Bob Clement. With a career spanning a halfcentury, Senator O’Brien was able to serve key roles with four governors before retiring: Frank Goad Clement, Buford Ellington, Ned Ray McWherter, and Lamar Alexander. Former Governor McWherter praised Senator O’Brien for her keen interest in educating children. “Miss Anna Belle was for many programs but her love of children always rang through as one of the loudest.” – Governor Ned Ray McWherter Senator O’Brien says she is extremely proud to receive the prestigious 2009 Humanitarian Leadership Award. She is especially proud, though, for the opportunity to help raise money for the Clement Railroad Hotel Museum which will honor her brother, Frank Clement, who is the original inspiration for the award. The Governor Frank G. Clement Railroad Hotel Museum, a downtown landmark in Dickson, Tennessee, will educate hundreds of visitors each year with its fascinating look at the leaders, citizens, railroads, war, industry, and innovation that helped shape Tennessee and the nation.

News From Ken Yager State Senate Approves Legislation Calling For Safe Storage Of Coal Fly Ash Yager co-sponsors bill (NASHVILLE, TN), March 16, 2009 -- The full Senate voted 33 to 0 recently to approve legislation sponsored by Senator Tim Burchett (R- Knoxville), Senator Ken Yager (R-Harriman) and Rep. Joe McCord (R-Maryville) that would prohibit the issuance of permits for the storage of coal fly ash in landfills unless they contain a liner for protection of groundwater and are capped properly. The bill, SB 1559, requires the state’s Department of Conservation and Environment (TDEC) to only issue a permit or request for expansion of an existing landfill if it meets those requirements for the storage of the coal byproduct. “There are a lot of unknowns about the long term effects of coal fly ash” said Senator Yager, who represents Roane County, the site of a massive coal ash spill on December 22, 2008. “The long term effect on the public health from fly ash leacheate and airborne particles is unknown. It is imperative that we take these precautions to protect our community's health. This legislation would give TDEC the tools they need to make sure that it is stored properly in the future.” The Roane County coal ash spill released more than 5.4 million cubic yards of ash into the river from an on-site lagoon, also referred to as a holding pond, at the Kingston Fossil Plant. Fly ash is a fine, glass-like powder recovered from gases created by coal-fired electric power generation. The ash contains arsenic, which means it must be treated as a “hazardous substance” as it is moved from the Kingston site to a landfill. Engineers are working to prepare the comprehensive plan to remove the sludge from the Kingston spill, which is expected to cost TVA between $525 to $825 million. “We have to look at what we can learn from this incident to prevent a future accident from occurring and this bill is a huge first step.” The bill is pending action in the State Government Subcommittee in the House of Representatives.

Volunteers contribute many hours to preparing the above mentioned records, documents and papers for the Archives. In addition, the Society supports the efforts of the Chamber of Commerce to develop and maintain a museum where artifacts, memorabilia, and other media are used to tell the story of Fentress County--her history and culture, her geography and natural resources, her business and industry, her natural beauty and varied landscape, and her religion and social life. The Historical Society produces a newsletter once each quarter in order to provide historical and genealogical information and to be a forum for communication with those who desire to learn more about our county history, and about their own genealogy and family information and that of other early settlers. The Society sponsors an annual History Week and Roundup in April of each year. A theme is chosen for the Roundup, and informative and interesting displays are set up for participants to view and learn about various aspects of the chosen theme. Books about local and county history and genealogy are available for sale, and a computer database containing over 225,000 names of persons who have lived in or had relatives who have lived in Fentress County is available on site with someone to help you find that long sought-after 4th great grandfather. Snacks, drinks and lunch are provided free. A monthly meeting is held in the Fentress County Courthouse each fourth Wednesday at 12:45 p.m. Any one may attend the meetings, and an invitation to membership is open at all times. For information, write to Fentress County Historical Society, P.O. Box 1431, Jamestown, TN 38556 or call 931-879-7622. The present officers of the Society are: Willie Beaty, President; Kathy Williams, Vice President; Lorene Cargile, Treasurer, and Cheri Stephens, Secretary. Directors include Myra Smith, Bruce York and Frances Hurd. Agency was a natural choice. The Agency provides quality services to individuals needing help and the meals program was chosen because of the assistance it provides to frail, vulnerable individuals making it possible for them to continue living at home. Cookeville Honda has many wonderful customers from the Upper Cumberland counties and the employees chose the Human Resource Agency, which serves individuals in the 14 county area,” stated Steve Cooper, General Manager, Cookeville Honda. With the current economic conditions, the increasing cost incurred by the meals program, and the increasing number of individuals in need of the meals due to physical conditions and/or lack of financial resources to eat properly, the meals program has more demand than has ever been experienced. “The Human Resource Agency would like to express appreciation to Cookeville Honda for providing much needed assistance in the amount of $3300 to the Upper Cumberland Nutrition Program; the program has faced difficulty in meeting the demands of individuals needing meals due to lack of budget increases,” stated Phyllis Bennett, Executive Director, Upper Cumberland Human Resource Agency. As a result of the gratitude of the employees of Cookeville Honda, the Upper Cumberland Human Resource Agency’s Nutrition Program will be able to serve meals to additional individuals. This contribution is an example of businesses in the community assisting individuals in need and expressing appreciation of customers in the Upper Cumberland. Weight Watchers To Meet Each Wed.

I have a few flowers blooming and I just love it when everything starts greening out and blooming. I indulged in something that I shouldn't have today. Our Sunday School class had a pot luck lunch after church. There were a lot of chicken dishes and they were delicious. But my favorite was the almond joy cake. It was sinful and rich. I just ate too much. Then I came home and took a nap. I'm sure almond joy cake is not on my cardiac diet. If you have never had a cake like this, you don't know what you are missing. Today's recipes are apple. Isn't there a saying that says "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." ? Apples are good for you and these are healthy recipes. Ginger Apple Crisp Apple filling: 6 baking apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced 1/4 cup sugar 2 teaspoon lemon juice 1 tablespoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground ginger 2 tablespoon cornstarch Crisp Topping: 3 lowfat apple cereal bars 1/2 graham crumbs 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon Allardt FCE Club Met March 11th Combine all ingredients for apple filling in a large bowl and mix well. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place apple filling in square baking dish. Place all ingredients for crisp topping in food processor or blender. Pulse until consistency is that of coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the top of the apples. Cover the dish and bake for 45 minutes until apples are tender and bubbly. This is like a crustless pie with apples, spices and ricotta cheese. Apple Cheese Bake 3 large baking apples, peel, core and slice thin 1/4 cup apple juice concentrate 1 tablespoon apple pie spice 2 tablespoon corn starch 1 cup lowfat recotta cheese 1 tablespoon vanilla extract Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Toss apples with apple juice concentrate, spice and cornstarch in large mixing bowl. Add ricotta cheese and vanilla extract. Mix well. Lightly spray a 9 inch glass pie pan with vegetable oil cooking spray. Spread mix into pie pan and smooth top. Lightly sprinkle with more apple pie spice. Cover and bake for 45 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving. *You can substitute sugar for apple juice concentrate. These are good baking apples: granny smith, Jonathan, pippin, McIntosh, gravenstein and cortland. Stay away from delicious varieties because they are too mushy for baking. I am looking forward to being a quest speaker at the Monterey Senior Citizens Center this week. If you need a speaker give me a call at 931839-2313 or e-mail me at [email protected] The monthly meeting of the Allardt FCE was held on March 11, 2009 with 16 members and Lynn Pemberton from the Fentress County Extension Office present.

Activities during this week included guest poem, “When God Made readers trivia contests, and student art work celebrating favorite Women”. books. Each member answered roll call with her favorite recipe. Copies of the recipes were shared with all in attendance. The Clarkrange FCE and the Clarkrange Methodist Church sent a note thanking the Allardt FCE for their well wishes and prayer during the recent vandalism. Luella re-reminded everyone to keep track of all volunteer hours. For the ladies who helped judge the County 4-H Baking Contest… “Thank You.” The County Extension sponsored Cancer Awareness Packets are ready for churches and civic organizations to pick up. Cindy Edwards will have extra packets at the next meeting. The Reading Rally is scheduled for April 14 with a Carnival Theme. At the next meeting, members will volunteer to bring the food items.

Fairness Doctrine Comeback Is A Political Ruse opposes any action to revive the “Fairness Doctrine.” The bottom line is that the FCC abandoned the “Fairness Doctrine” over twenty years ago, and there is no evidence that would lead one to believe that there is any danger of it making a return. However, ideological partisans continue to use this issue as a divisive instrument for political gain. Just last month, our economy shed another 650,000 jobs. Tennessee families are struggling harder than ever to make ends meet, and as we face the challenges of economic troubles and foreign enemies we do not have time for the sort of political posturing that talk of the “Fairness Doctrine” represents. There are plenty of problems to solve and battles to fight without taking up an issue that will never see the light of day. I can only hope that my colleagues will take this to heart as we continue our work to move America forward. U.S. Rep.

This policy was a threat to journalists, station managers and others who believed it was a violation of their free speech. I agree with that assessment and oppose a reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine. Today, the policy still sits on the shelf, as it has since 1987 when it was discontinued. While I am pleased that the “Fairness Doctrine” is not in use, I am nevertheless disturbed by political partisans who are attempting to use this longdecided debate to create a wedge issue and further divide America. There are just a handful of legislators who would re-instate the “Fairness Doctrine.

Thank You I want to thank each and everyone for the gifts and cards I received for my surprise birthday party my friends and family had for me Sunday. I can not put into words what that meant to me. Thank you to everyone that attended. Thanks very much, James Henry (3-18-1tp) PAGE A-10, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 2009, FENTRESS COURIER Jim’s Gems By: Jim Rogers “Let us press on to maturity,” urged the Hebrew writer (Hebrews 6:1). There is no necessary connection between physical and spiritual maturity. Old folks who are spiritual babies are pitiful but also dangerous. Age doesn’t matter unless you are a cheese; and those who put us out to pasture because of our age are Limburgers. I meant to grow old; I just didn’t intend for it to happen so soon. I’m quite concerned that my spiritual maturity has failed to keep pace. Those desiring to grow up spiritually can receive divine help. It has been said, “If you have the Spirit without the Word, you blow up. If you have the Word without the Spirit, you dry up. If you have both the Word and the Spirit, you grow up.” Aging wisely doesn’t just happen. A. Roger Merrill tells of a business consultant who decided to landscape his grounds. He hired a woman with a doctorate in horticulture who was very knowledgeable. Because the business consultant was busy and traveled much, he kept emphasizing to her the need to create his garden in a way that would require little or no maintenance on his part. He insisted on automatic sprinklers and other laborsaving devices. Finally she stopped and said, “There’s one thing you need to deal with before we go any further. If there’s no gardener, there’s no garden!” Some of us want to grow a garden of spiritual virtue without devoting time, attention and care to it, and it cannot happen. That is why so many of us are more like the mushroom that grows up over night than like the mighty oak. Could that church you attend be called “First Mushroom Church”? If people in church dressed to represent their level of maturity, there would be more bibs than aprons. You know who those in bibs are. Those donning aprons are those who serve others. Which are you? There has always been a gap between young people and older folks, particularly in spiritual matters. It has turned into a canyon. I just read about a young Talmud student who, after many years in America, had returned to Israel to visit the family. “But --- where is your beard?” asks his mother upon seeing him. “Mama,” he replies, “in America nobody wears a beard.” “But at least you keep the Sabbath?” Mama asks “Mama, business is business. In America, everybody works on the Sabbath.” “But kosher food you still eat?” asks Mama. “Mama, in America, it is very difficult to keep kosher.” The old lady ponders this information and then leans over and whispers in his ear, “Isaac, tell me, are you still circumcised?” I challenge you to pray and study the Word that you may grow up in our Living Lord.

Prescribed Fire To Occur In Big South Fork NRRA Big South Fork is planning to ignite two prescribed fires the week of March 16, depending upon weather conditions. The Gobblers Knob A&C Project is located east of Divide Road near the Tennessee/Kentucky state line and will consist of approximately 2485 acres, roughly half in Kentucky and half in Tennessee. The Gobblers Knob B Project is located east of Divide Road and north of Terry Cemetery Road. This project is approximately 3334 acres and is located entirely in Tennessee. Each burn is scheduled to begin late morning with the burn being completed by nightfall. These prescribed fires will serve to reduce hazardous fuels near Pickett State Forest and the Daniel Boone National Forest and help to promote species diversity for the park flora and fauna. After the burns take place these areas will have enhanced wildlife habitat and should be an excellent location for spring turkey hunting. During a prescribed burn all roads and trails in the burn area will be temporarily closed for visitor safety. During this week’s burn this will include Stooping Oak Road and all hiking and horse trails in the area. There will likely be traffic control points on Terry Cemetery Road and Divide Road. Once the burn is complete these roads and trails will be reopened. These prescribed fires, as defined in the approved Fire Management Plan, are located within the boundaries of the park. The fires will be ignited only when the weather and conditions meet the defined prescription. In addition to meeting specific conditions, crews of 3540 firefighters, 3-4 fire engines and a helicopter will be on hand for each burn. Please contact the park’s visitor center at 423-286-7275 for the latest information on the current status of the burn and associated closures.

IRS Announces Changes To Withholding Tables Submitted by H&R Block As you may be aware, the IRS has announced changes to the withholding tables that reflect the benefits of the Making Work Pay Credit (MWPC). Employers are being encouraged to begin using the new tables as soon as possible, but not later than April 1. Because the withholding tables cannot take into account ineligible taxpayers, workers with multiple jobs, or dual income married couples, the reduced withholding may actually exceed the credit that you’ll be able to claim when you file your tax return. As a result, a married couple could EACH have $800 less withholding during the rest of the year ($1,600 combined). Their maximum credit on the 2009 return will only be $800. A single taxpayer, who has two jobs, could have $400 less withholding from EACH job for a total of $800 in less withholding. His maximum credit on the 2009 return will only be $400. Each case results in a lower refund, which could turn the taxpayer’s situation into a balance due. Remember, too, that not all workers qualify for the MWPC. Nonresident aliens, individuals who are a dependent of another taxpayer, and individuals who do not have a valid social security number will find that their withholding is reduced the same as other workers, all of which will result in a reduced refund and perhaps even a balance due. (For joint filers, only one taxpayer must be eligible to claim the MWPC.) Adult recipients of Social Security, Railroad, SSI, and Veterans Retirement or Disability benefits, WHO ALSO HAVE W-2 income, should be aware that the $250 one-time Economic Recovery Payment which they will automatically receive reduces any allowable “Making Work Pay” credit that they’ll be able to claim on the 2009 Tax Return. As an example, assume a married couple who both work use Married for their withholding status. They also receive Social Security benefits. The couple could receive as much as $2,100 in early benefits ($800+&800+$250+$250). The problem arises when the 2009 Tax Return is prepared. Assume the couple is entitled to a tentative Making Work Pay Credit of $800. They will only be ale to claim a $300 ($800$500) MWPC compared to their $1,600 reduction in withholding. This would result in additional tax liability of $1,300 tax liability-A BAD SURPRISE! We encourage individuals who receive the Economic Recovery Payment and continue to work, individuals with multiple jobs, married couples who both work, and individuals who do not qualify to claim the MWPC to consider submitting a revised Form W4 with their employers. The most straightforward “fix” is to request a specific additional dollar amount to be withheld from each check (Form W-4, line 6) to increase your withholding to where it needs to be. As always, H&R Block is here to assist you. You may contact us to help with planning or making changes to your current withholding at 931-879-9940. H&R Block, 913 Old Hwy. 127 S, P.O. Box 747, Jamestown, TN 38556. by Gail Dawson Here are some ways to be a conservationist and save money in the kitchen while reducing waste. The following are some suggestions you can try. 1. Coordinate your meals with the season. Reduce cost by purchasing foods thar are grown in that season, like a cold salad on a hot day. 2. Use timers to save energy and to prevent overcooking waste. 3. Vacuum your refrigerators cooling coils because the dust reduces the life expectancy of the compressor. A good compressor will keep food fresher. 4. Make sure there is no gap in the refrigerator door seal because inefficient refrigerator doors waste energy and causes food spoilage. 5. Prolong the life of your Eli Turns 2 Eli Wylie Lloyd turned 2 on March 7, 2009. His proud parents are Adam and Beverly Lloyd of Clarkrange and his grandparents are Arnold and Amy Stephens of Jamestown and Barbara Lloyd of Clarkrange. He celebrated with a Diego party. He wants to thank everyone for coming and for all the great gifts. freezer foods by filling containers with water and place in the freezer for more efficiency. 6. Label frozen food to minimize the amount of cold that escapes when looking for an item. 7. Buy food in bulk to reduce cost and packaging waste. 8. Buy foods that are grown locally to save fuel cost of transportation or plant your own garden. Eating fresh foods like corn instead of canned corn reduces your carbon footprint on the earth. 9. Save scraps to start a tumbler or worm compost system. Use the compost on your garden. 10. Use food storage containers with tight covers to prevent moisture buildup this reduces energy consumption. This will also prevent food waste by preventing flavor transfer in foods. These suggestions will be just a start of your food and nutrition conservation success story. I hope you continue to remember the environment in all areas of life, even the kitchen. Happy Birthday To Me Isaac Cade Baldwin turned 1 year old on January 3rd.

PAGE A-12, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 2009, FENTRESS COURIER 5th Annual Easter Princess Pageant March 28th Most of pre-teen and teens have their own cell phones. This is a useful tool for parents to always know where their child is and rest assured that he or she can be reached easily and quickly. However, with the trend of texting and pix messaging it is imperative that you know exactly what sort of messages your child is exchanging with others. SEXTING, while not entirely new, is a common trend among young people. SEXTING is the sharing of sexual images and texts through cell phones. It is important to remember that young people are not thinking through the consequences of sending a “not-so-innocent” text. In 2008 a teen, Jesse Logan sent nude pictures to her boyfriend. After their breakup he maliciously sent those pictures to hundreds of students at their high school in Cincinnati, Ohio. As a result, Jesse was harassed, and demonized as a “bad girl.” Her reputation was ruined. Two months later Jesse committed suicide by hanging herself in her bedroom. According to research by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, 39 percent of teens are sending or posting sexually suggestive messages, 48 percent are reported as receiving these messages. Communication is imperative. Here are some tips for your pre-teen or teen about SEXTING: 1) Think about the consequences of taking, sending, or forwarding a sexual picture of someone underage, even it is of you. 2) Never take images of yourself that you wouldn’t want everyone to see. 3) Before hitting send, remember that you can’t control where this image may travel. What you could send to a boyfriend, or girlfriend could easily end up with their friends, and their friends, and their friends, and their friends… 4) If you forward a sexual picture of someone underage, you are as responsible for this image as the original sender. You could face pornography chargers, go to jail, and have to register as a sex offender. 5) Report any nude pictures you receive on your cell phone to an adult you trust. Do not delete the message. Instead, get your parents, teachers, and school counselors involved immediately. Source: www.netsmartz.org Happy Birthday Triston Watson Our angel celebrated his 2nd birthday March 16th.

Kings & Queens Crowned During Valentine’s Day Celebration On Friday, February 13, 2009, Signature HealthCARE of Fentress County crowned not one King and Queen during the Valentine’s Day celebration, but three! The creative Quality of Life team decided that each station at the facility should have its own special King and Queen. The week preceding the day of celebration, residents and employees voted for their choice of King or Queen. The three winners were station one Margaret Walker and Thomas Long; station two Gertrude Watson and Robert Vickers; and, were Centralia Upchurch and Arthur Brady. The celebration continued in the dining room, where decorations covered the room in red, white, and pink balloons, candle lit tables, rose petals and hearts. Residents, family, friends, and employees came together to participate in the festivities as crowns and royal robes were placed on each King or Queen. Each Queen received a special bouquet of flowers and each King received his own royal cake. Everyone indulged in a repast fit for any royal court. Scrumptious strawberry cake, punch, cookies, candies and other treats were served to everyone at the facility. Valentine’s Day has always been the day for celebrating love.

CALL DEBORAH MLS 642369 $ 89,900 Update On Unemployment Fund And Benefits Headline Capitol Hill Week From Senator Ken Yager March 13, 2009 -- The Senate Commerce Committee heard testimony recently from Labor Commissioner James Neely regarding the status of Tennessee’s unemployment trust fund and the potential impact of stimulus money coming to the state as a result of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Commissioner Neely urged committee members to take action to “shore up” the fund or face the possibility of borrowing from the federal government if it becomes insolvent. Neely predicts the state unemployment fund will be broke in just over a year if things continue to deteriorate at the current rate. Meanwhile, Finance Commissioner Dave Goetz appeared before our Senate Finance Committee on Thursday to give notification of an expansion of the budget to provide an additional $25 per week in unemployment benefits under the federal stimulus plan, beginning immediately.

CALL BART MLS 627850 money is very much needed by many families across our district who are suffering job loss due to the recession. In addition, the administration will bring legislation that would allow for the extension of unemployment benefits of up to 59 weeks. Presently, Tennessee provides 26 weeks of unemployment assistance, but additional benefits can be paid in times of high unemployment under federal extension programs. Tennessee’s statewide unemployment rate for January was 8.6 percent and is estimated to have now risen to over nine percent. Neely said rural communities, like several in our senatorial district, have been particularly affected by the recession, with Perry County in West Tennessee having a rate of over 27 percent. Cities have a more diverse workforce, many of which are service-oriented, a sector of the job market that has not taken as hard a hit as those jobs found in rural areas.

Current law provides that taxes are raised on employers as the reserves in the trust fund decline based upon each business’s layoff experience. The administration will present a plan to our legislature next week to address the solvency of the fund. Neely said the federal stimulus money coming into the state as a result of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act “would help get employers off the highest tax table sooner.” The stimulus package does, however, have strings attached in order to receive the funds. The federal act requires states to enact three options from a menu of five expansions of benefits. These include: • providing unemployment benefits to part-time workers • giving jobless benefits to some who voluntarily leave their jobs for a list of family reasons, such as quitting a job to relocate to another area if a spouse moves • increasing benefits for applicants with dependents by $15 per dependent per week with a $50 limit • extending benefits if job training is involved • changing the time period in which applicants are determined to be eligible for unemployment to include the present quarter prior to being laid off Finally, Neely told the committee the administration’s bill proposes changing the time period in which applicants are determined eligible, providing part-time workers with benefits, and adding the increased payment to applicants with dependents. We will continue to monitor the money for unemployment benefits as they flow through the state to those in our communities. It is also very important that we work at the state and local level to bring new jobs to our area as we weather this worldwide economic storm.
