Tennessee Tech University Named A “Best In
The Southeast” College By The Princeton
Review For The Eighth Straight Year
July Unemployment Rate 9.8 Percent State
Rate Unchanged From Previous Month
NASHVILLE – Tennessee
Commissioner of Labor &
Workforce Development Karla
Davis announced last week that
Tennessee’s unemployment rate
for July was 9.8 percent,
unchanged from the June
revised rate of 9.8. The national
unemployment rate for July
2011 was 9.1 percent, down
from the June revised rate of
9.2 percent.
“The statistics behind the
unchanged unemployment rate
show a slight drop in
employment numbers along
with an overall decline in the
labor force,” Commissioner
Davis said.
According to the household
survey, the number of
employed
Tennesseans
decreased by 12,200 from June
to July 2011. The civilian labor
force decreased by 15,100
which
is
attributed
to
discouraged workers no longer
looking for jobs.
Labor also conducts a
monthly survey of 10,000
businesses in Tennessee which
is factored into the state’s
unemployment rate. “The
business survey does reveal
some positive indicators with a
private employment growth
rate of 1.3 percent over the
year,”
added
Davis.
“Construction and durable
goods manufacturing are both
showing strong short and long
term growth which is better
than we’ve seen during the past
few years.”
Major Changes in Estimated
Nonagricultural Employment
June 2011 to July 2011
Month-to-month increases
occurred in mining, logging,
and construction, up 1,900
jobs;
local
government
educational services was up
1,400; hospitals was up by 900
jobs; and durable goods
manufacturing increased by
900. Food services and
drinking places decreased by
1,600; and state government
declined by 1,600.
Major Changes in Estimated
Nonagricultural Employment
July 2010 to June 2011
Year-over-year increases took
place in professional and
business services, up 8,700 jobs;
food services and drinking
places,
up
5,800;
and
educational and health services
increased by 4,700.
Employment decreases took
place in government, down
9,000 (4,700 of which were
Federal, due to the 2010
Census jobs); retail trade, down
3,800; and social assistance,
down 1,900.

appointed to
Commission
on Aging and
Disability
(NASHVILLE, TN) – State
Senator Ken Yager (RHarriman) has been appointed
to serve on the Tennessee
Commission on Aging and
Disability. The appointment
was made by Lt. Governor Ron
Ramsey (R-Blountville).
The Commission is the
designated state agency on
aging to provide leadership
relative to aging issues on
behalf of older persons in the
state. For a number of years
the
Commission
has
administered
state
funds
providing multipurpose senior
center
programs,
public
guardianship,
homemaker
services, and home-delivered
meals. Twenty-six members
serve on the policy and
decision-making board with
twenty-four members being
appointed by the Governor.
“I consider it a high honor to
serve on this commission to
protect and improve services for
senior citizens and those with
disabilities,” said Senator
Yager. “This is a matter of
utmost importance to our
counties in Senate District 11
and which is near and dear to
my heart. We have many
elderly and disabled citizens
whose interest must be
protected, especially as we face
tough economic times.”
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. (Aug.
16, 2011) - Tennessee Tech
University is one of the best
colleges in the Southeast for the
eighth year in a row, according
to The Princeton Review.
TTU is one of 135
institutions The Princeton
Review recommends in its
“Best in the Southeast” section
of its website feature, “2012
Best Colleges: Region by
Region,’ that posted earlier this
month
on
PrincetonReview.com.
“It is always satisfying to see
our efforts to be the best
recognized nationally,” TTU
President Bob Bell said. “We
have committed to providing
our students a solid foundation
for lifelong learning through
our excellent academics and
social opportunities, all at a
good value.”
The 135 colleges The
Princeton Review chose for its
“Best in the Southeast”
designations are located in 12
states: Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Mississippi, North
Carolina, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Virginia and West
Virginia. Collectively, the
“regional
best”
colleges
constitute about 25 percent of
the nation’s 2,500 four-year
colleges.
For this project, The
Princeton Review asks students
attending the schools to rate
their own schools on several
issues – from the accessibility
of their professors to quality of
the campus food – and answer
questions about themselves,
their fellow students and their
campus life. Comments from
surveyed students are quoted in
the school profiles on The
Princeton Review site.
In the profile, Tennessee Tech
is described as a rural campus
in a “wonderful college town”
that offers “quite a lot for a
reasonable tuition,” including
being “the best engineering
school in the state.”
According to the profile,
many of the professors “make
classes very interesting,” and
“make themselves available
outside of the classroom.”
Students also said TTU has
many “different varieties of
students,” and that it is “easy to
find your niche on campus and
in the community.”
“We’re
pleased
to
recommend Tennessee Tech
University to users of our site
as one of the best schools to
earn their undergrad degree,”
said Robert Franek, Princeton
Review’s senior vice president
and publisher. “We chose it and
the other terrific institutions we
name as ‘regional best’ colleges
mainly for their excellent
academic programs.”
The publication winnows the
list based on institutional data
collected directly from the
schools, visits to campus over
the years and the opinions of
the publication staff, plus
college
counselors
and
advisors. They take into
account what students reported
about their campus experiences
on an 80-question survey. Only
schools that permit The
Princeton
Review
to
independently survey their
students are eligible to be
considered for the regional best
lists.

What to Tell Children About
a Parent's Addiction
How to Talk to Children
About Family Substance Abuse
Children living in homes
where there is parental
substance abuse can find life
difficult, unpredictable and
confusing. Sometimes they even
believe the alcohol or drug
abuse is their fault.
Dealing with the chaos and
unpredictability of their home
life, children can receive
inconsistent messages. They can
feel guilt and shame trying to
keep the family "secrets." Often
they feel abandoned due to the
emotional unavailability of
their parents.
What to Tell the Children?
If the family breaks up
because of substance abuse, or
if the children are removed
from the home, some become
withdrawn and shy while others
can become explosive and
violent. They often develop
issues
with
self-esteem,
attachment, autonomy and
trust.
What do you tell children
when one or both of their
parents are alcoholics or
addicts? How do you explain
the chaos? First and foremost,
because trust is almost always
an issue, you tell them the truth.
According to the National
Center on Substance Abuse and
Child Welfare, these are the
messages that children, with
parents who are alcoholics or
addicts, need to hear:

and More
Addiction Is a Disease
Children need to know that
their parents are not "bad"
people, they are sick people.
When they are drunk or high,
sometimes parents can do
things that are mean or things
that don't make sense.
It's Not Your Fault
Children must understand
that they are not the reason a
parent drinks too much or
abuses drugs. They did not
cause the addiction and they
cannot stop it.
You Are Not Alone
Children need to realize that
their situation is not unique and
they are not alone, they have
parents who are addicted to
drugs or who are alcoholics.
They need to know that even in
their own school, there are
other children in the same
situation.
It's Okay to Talk
Children in homes with
substance abuse need to know
that it's okay to talk about the
problem, without having to feel
scared,
ashamed
or
embarrassed. They no longer
have to lie, cover up and keep
secrets. They should be
encouraged to find someone
that they trust -- a teacher,
counselor, foster parent, or
members of a peer support
group such as:
The Seven Cs
The National Association for
Children of Alcoholics suggests
that children dealing with
family addiction learn and use
the following "7 Cs of
Addiction:"
I didn't Cause it.
I can't Cure it.
I can't Control it.
I can Care for myself
By Communicating my
feelings,
Making healthy Choices, and
By Celebrating myself.
Children from homes where
there is parental substance
abuse are often scared, lonely
and many times feel isolated
from society. Whether you
deliver the message perfectly or
not, giving them someone with
whom they can talk is an
important step in their recovery.

in Nashville which had been
stolen from a Fentress County
residence.
Both Carroll and Hayes were
being held without bond on
charges of Theft Over $10,000,
with Carroll also facing charges
of Manufacturing Methamphetamine
The investigation is ongoing
in connection with this and
other thefts and burglaries, with
other arrests expected to be
made.
Fentress County Sheriff Tony
Choate commented: “Community vigilance is a key in
solving these thefts and
burglaries. We ask everyone to
be aware of what’s going on in
their neighborhoods, and if you
see anything of a suspicious
nature, or observe a strange or
suspicious vehicle in the
neighborhood, write down the
license number and contact us
at 879-8142 so we can check it
out.
All information will be kept in
the strictest of confidence.
Another Bear
Encounter:
These photos were made by
Ms. Irene Mann of a bear
which came calling at her
home in the Spruce Creek
community last week. The
bear was at first curious,
looking up onto the porch,
and then coming up on the
porch to get a look inside the
house.
This is one of
numerous bear encounters
reported this summer.

Floyd Stephens said: “We
have some employees who don’t
work 40 hours per week. Is this
going to give them a $40 raise
per week, or will it be based on
the hours worked?”
In making his vote against
the resolution, Donal Williams
said: “The reason I’m voting
against it is we don’t have the
money in the budget at the
current tax rate to pay for it
without going into the red. I’m
not voting to go into the red.”

Stopping Washington From
Spending Money It Doesn’t
Have
Finally, with the debtreduction agreement Congress
made with the President in early
August, Washington is starting
to take some responsibility for
years of spending money we
don’t have.
At a time when the federal
government is borrowing 40
cents of every dollar it spends,
this agreement represents a
welcome change in behavior
that I was glad to support.
Make no mistake. This was a
change in behavior—from
spend, spend, spend to cut, cut,
cut.
Let me give you one example:
On Christmas Eve, 2010,
Congress raised the debt ceiling
and attached to it a trillion new
dollars in spending over ten
years through the new health
care law.
This time, for every dollar we
are raising the debt ceiling, we
are reducing spending by a
Entrance Test For Health
Careers Programs Announced
TN Technology Center @
Crossville announces the
schedule for entrance tests
required of applicants wanting
to enroll in the upcoming
Surgical
Technology
or
Practical Nursing programs.
The entrance tests are given
starting at 8am ct on
Wednesday September 28,
October 26 and once a month
January through June.
A
$15.00 fee is payable at the time
of
registration.
The
computerized test measures
math and reading skills.
Applicants should call the
Center at 931/484-7502 x125 to
register for the test.
Once an applicant passes the
entrance test, they may submit
an
Application

consisting of the application
for enrollment, high school or
GED transcript, proof of
immunizations and passing test
scores. All forms may be found
at www.ttcc.edu. Applicants
will then attend a PreEnrollment Session and their
names will be placed on the
Application List for the
upcoming class.
According
to
Barbara
Thornhill, TTCC recruiter,
“For the first time in years we

and Surgical Technology
throughout the year. Because
all TTCC students are enrolled
on a first come, first served

will have their names appear on

We hope this procedure will
make it easier for those wishing
to attend TTCC.”

months in length and includes

dollar—not adding to it.
Here is another example:
According to Sen. Portman,
who used to be the nation’s
budget
director,
the
Congressional Budget Office
would say that if Congress did
this kind of dollar-for-dollar
reduction in spending every
time a president asked Congress
to raise the debt ceiling, we’d
balance the budget in ten years.
And one more: The Wall
Street Journal reported that
because of these spending cuts,
the discretionary part of the
budget, which is 39 percent of
the entire budget, will grow over
the next ten years at a little less
than the rate of inflation. If we
could control the rest of the
budget so that it would grow at
anything close to the rate of
inflation, we’d balance the
budget in no time.
And balancing the budget is
exactly what our goal should be.
That’s what I did every year as
governor of Tennessee. Families
in America do it every day.
It is time to balance the
government’s books and live
within our means.
These spending reductions
are an important step—but
they are just one step—and no
one should underestimate how
difficult the next steps will be.
Our work on reducing this
nation’s alarming debt has only
begun.
These spending cuts do
almost nothing to restructure
Medicare and Social Security so
that seniors can count on them
and taxpayers can afford them.
The
President’s
budget
projections still double and
triple the federal debt. Under
the
President’s
budgets,
according to the Congressional
Budget Office, in ten years we’ll
be spending more in interest on
the debt than we now spend on
national defense. And, in
January, 2013, the first thing the
next president will have to do is
to ask Congress to increase the
debt ceiling.
This problem wasn’t created
overnight, and it won’t be
solved overnight. But if I were
sitting at Union Station trying
to catch a train to New York
City and someone offered me a
ticket
to
Baltimore
or
Philadelphia, I’d take it, and
then find a way to get to New
York from there.
This agreement was an
opportunity to take an
important step in the right
direction—toward
stopping
Washington from spending
money it doesn’t have.
Congress should now get
ready to find ways to take the
next step and the next step and
the next. The American people
have a right to expect Congress
to work across party lines to
reduce the federal debt by at
least $4 trillion over the next ten
years.

Happy 2nd Birthday
Hi, my name is Avery Heath Gernt Tinsley. This is my mom and
dad, Kelly and Heath Tinsley. I will be two on August 25th.
Mommy has the same birthday, but I can’t tell you how old she
is. Ha, ha. Mommy says I’m going through the terrible two’s
(she ain’t seen nothing yet). My proud grandparents are Brenda
and Stewart Gernt of Allardt. My great-grandmother was
Norma Pennycuff of Shirley. I had her last year on my birthday,
but this year, she’s celebrating it with Jesus. But I sure do miss
her. My great-grandfather was Clifford Pennycuff. My other
great-grandparents were Lois and Ernie Gernt.

School Talk
By: Mike Jones
The picture shows Fentress County campers Jacob Copeland,
Brad Cook, Gail Dawson and Nick Malone with one of their
counselors Halston Balthrop, a student at Tennessee Tech
University.
Local Students Attend The
Presidents Academy Of
Emerging Technologies Camp
Fentress County students
Jacob Copeland, Brad Cook,
Gail Dawson and Nick Malone
were excited to hear the 2011
Presidents
Academy
of
Emerging Technologies would
take place.
After being chosen to
represent Fentress County they
were notified that the camp lost
its sponsor.
However,
Tennessee Tech’s President Bob
Bell came to the rescue. Mr.
Bell knew how important this
unique learning experience was
to the future of the 35 students
from our region chosen to
attend. Mr. Bell worked to find
the funds in his budget and
provided this opportunity to
these outstanding youth. And
what an opportunity it was!
The campers experienced a
taste of college life as they
stayed on campus at Tennessee
Tech University in Cookeville,
TN. They attended class held
by professors from TTU. The
Presidents
Academy
for
Emerging Technologies is part
of the STEM program that is
dedicated to improving the
understanding of Science and
Technologies.
The
Fentress
County
students learned about fuel
cells, built water Rockets,
participated in critical thinking
activities, toured the Volts
Wagon plant, attended a
showing at the Imax theater,
and built their own boats out
of cardboard.
The students ended the week
by inviting their parents to
attend a competitive boat race
at the TTU Sports Complex.
This was followed by an
overview session at the STEM
center. Parents watched a
slideshow prepared by the
campers showing highlights of
activities from throughout the
week.
Those celebrating birthdays in the month of August 2011 at the
Fentress County Senior Center are seated: Mayzell Ritter.
Standing: Lonnie Barton, Ralph Gray and Betty Walter. We
want to thank those who make our monthly birthday
celebrations at the Senior Center very special due to their
donations. Bill and Donna Ramsey of Dairy Queen donated 2
cakes and a free chicken strip basket. Danny and Wanda
Hailey of McDonalds donated 2 cakes. Joey and Rayella
Vaughn of Med-I-Thrift donated a gift certificate for each
birthday person.

Welcome Back!
It took a few days to get our
enrollment. Last year at this
time, our enrollment was 2,463;
our enrollment now is 2,418
students. We had to move
several teachers from school to
school, but we are finally
getting settled.
Current enrollment:
Allardt Elem. School
386
Clarkrange High School 286
Pine Haven School
576
South Fentress Elem.
655
York Elem. School
515
We are beginning a new era in
education. School reform is
here and it is more rigorous and
demanding. The fact is, when
your child tells you that school
is harder, it is! Schools today
are much harder than when you
and I were in school. As I
previously stated, education
reform is here. Schools will be
different. School is hard and it
is going to be harder. By State
law, all teachers will be
evaluated every year.
In three years, we will fully
transition to Common Core
and
Common
Core
Assessments. In three years, all
summative tests will be on-line.
Students should be taught
keyboarding skills to be
prepared. The fact is, school
reform is here and it is
daunting.
Central office,
principals, and teachers are
really working hard. Students
are working hard, also. Please
be tolerant. I feel that we have a
very good action plan. I have
faith in our students, teachers,
administrators and I know that
we will be successful.
Also, we are beginning a new
parent notification system
soon. We will soon be able to
text, call or e-mail parents with
important information. We
hope to have teachers be able to
notify parents, for example, if
their child has a test or a special
event. Please let the school
have your phone numbers and
appropriate contact numbers.
Any time a cell number, home
phone number, or home address
changes, please notify your
child’s school as soon as
possible. We wish to keep you
as informed about your child’s
education as possible. If you
have any questions, please
contact your principal or call
the Central office.
We hope you and your child
have a great year!

The mission of the Fentress
County Children’s Center is
to “prevent the abuse and
neglect of our nation’s
children” and includes all
forms of abuse and neglect,
whether physical, sexual,
educational, or emotional.
Our core values are valuing
children,
strengthening
families
and
engaging
communities. The Fentress
County Children’s Center will
also inform the public that the
prevention of abuse and
neglect decreases lifelong
adverse
medical
and
emotional consequences for
children and promotes their
wellbeing.
Wearing a Blue Prevent
Child Abuse Wristband
generates awareness and
supports prevention of child
abuse to promote prevention
of
child
abuse
in
neighborhoods where you
work and live. The Fentress
County Children’s Center, the
community’s
leading
organization dedicated to
preventing the abuse and
neglect of our Fentress
County children, is proud to
unveil its Blue Wristband
Campaign. By “getting with
the band” you are joining a
community, a community of
people making a statement
that child abuse can no longer
be accepted by our society
and it can and must be
prevented.
For those interested in
supporting
child
abuse
prevention programs, the
Center will be distributing
free blue “Keep Kids Safe”
awareness
wristbands
throughout the Fentress
County Fair. You can pick
up a wristband at our booth
in the Exhibit Hall or stop by
the Center for your free band.
Get with the Band and
prevent Child abuse in our
county!

I don't know how much of a
column I will have today
because I don't feel too good. I
can't quite put my finger on it
but I just know I don't feel
good. I have been doing a little
cooking but sometimes just
thinking about food makes me
feel sick. So writing about it
doesn't help any. It could have
been where I was put to sleep
for my knee surgery. Some
people say it takes a little while
for you to get your appetite
back after surgery.
The
hospital didn't feed me nothing
but ice chips for two days. I was
in ICU because of my heart
and I think they had in mind
doing a test and because of that
you can't have food. This
experience has been good for
losing weight even George has
lost some.
But I don't
recommend it. There have got
to be better ways.
Lets cook anyway. Here are
a couple of hearty dishes for a
quick supper. One is done in
the slow cooker. Both are
simple and the recipes can be
increased if you need to feed
more.
Skillet Hash
1/2 cup onion, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups ground beef, browned
3 potatoes, peeled and diced
1/2 cup beef broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
Saute onion in butter in a
large skillet; add beef, potatoes,
broth and salt. Cook on low
heat for 15 to 20 minutes,
stirring often. Serves 4. My
mother-in-law, Auda Ray, used
to make this with new potatoes.
She didn't make it in a skillet
but stewed the potatoes first
then added meat and onions. I
think she thickened it with a
little flour and butter. I used to
make this for George and if I
didn't have ground beef, I
would just make the potatoes
and thicken them with butter
and flour and pepper. George
called them gravy potatoes.
Delicious Round Steak
2 pounds round steak, cubed
2 cans (10-3/4 oz.) cream of
mushroom soup

I made myself hungry just
writing this. Maybe I am
getting my appetite back.
Last week Haley was doing
her homework and wanted
some music to listen to. I told
her she could turn the radio on.
In a few minutes she came in
and asked me a question.
"Grannie, did you ever drink
moonshine?" I asked her where
she heard about moonshine.
She said there was a song on
the radio about it. I told her
that I never did drink
moonshine
but
my
grandmother used to sell it and
she may have made it. Then
she surprised me with this. "Did
you get her recipe for making
it?" "No, Haley, that's one
recipe I don't have." Then I
told her that when we were little
kids and got sick with sore
throats, my daddy would water
it down and add honey and
lemon juice and give us a spoon
full. Now to her teachers at
school, I do not know what
Haley will tell you about
moonshine.
With that I will go. If you
have any recipes (please, no
moonshine recipes) call me at
931-839-2313 or e-mail me at
drucilla1@frontiernet.net.

_________# of 5 inch pull bows for $3 each $_________
Center, has elevated our heart treatment options to a whole new level. Cardiac electrophysiology
_________# of 9 inch pull bows for $5 each $_________
is a subspecialty of cardiology that deals with the electricity of the heart and treats heart
arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation and other rhythm disturbances. CRMC has
made history with a number of electrophysiology "firsts" this year:
CRMC uses this new, implantable
cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD)
with SmartShock Technology™ to
lessen “unnecessary” shocks in
patients.
y We've become the first hospital in the Southeast and
the second in the U.S. to use a new ICD that
lessens "unnecessary" shocks.
y We're among the first in the U.S. to use the first and
only cryoballoon to treat atrial fibrillation.
y This summer, we opened our first dedicated
electrophysiology laboratory.
All of this is exciting news for the Upper
Cumberland, but given CRMC's dedication to
proven care...
It's anything but shocking.

On Thursday, August 18,
ACT released “The Condition
of
College and Career
Readiness,” a report which
highlights statewide data on
ACT
scores,
academic
achievement
and
postsecondary
aspirations.
Tennessee’s results from the
April 2011 test show the state’s
public high school students’
composite ACT score dropped
from 19.1 in 2010 to 19.0 out of
36 in 2011, highlighting the
ongoing need for education
reform to achieve the state’s
Race to the Top goal of
broader college readiness.
Across the state, 24 percent
of students are college-ready in
math, 55 percent in English, 38
percent in reading and 17
percent in science. The report
also shows a wide achievement
gap between white students and
black students. Only 7 percent
of black students are collegeready in math, according to
ACT results.
In a survey administered as
part of the exam, nearly 75
percent of Tennessee’s public
high school students said they
aspire to attain at least a fouryear bachelor’s degree, but
most are not prepared to take
college classes in core academic
subjects without remedial help.
“These
results
are
unacceptable, and we have to
do more to ensure that our high
school students’ academic
results align with their
aspirations,” said Tennessee
Education
Commissioner
Kevin Huffman. “As U.S.
Education Secretary Arne
Duncan noted in his visit to
Tennessee last week, we must
aspire to be the fastest growing
state in the country, while being
honest about where we stand
and how far we still need to
go.”
Every year, the Tennessee
Board of Regents spends $26
million for remedial and
developmental courses for
underprepared students, said
TBR Chancellor John Morgan.
"We cannot continue to
provide remediation as a stopgap for poor high school
outcomes. It is imperative that
our institutions work closely
with our high schools, our
current teachers and our future
teachers to help improve
preparation."
Tennessee officials believe
that a nearly 4 percentage point
gain in students scoring on
grade level in reading on last
year’s
Tennessee
Comprehensive Assessment
Program test, and 7 percentage
point gain in math will
translate into higher ACT
scores in future years.
“College readiness is not an
issue determined in 11th grade,
but is the culmination of an
entire system of education,”
Huffman
said.
“I
am
encouraged by the progress we
are making in earlier grades,
and feel a sense of urgency to
ensure that this translates into
higher
skill
levels
by
graduation.”
Well-educated and fully
prepared high school graduates
are the key to a successful
community and a thriving
economy, said Jamie Woodson,
president and CEO of
Tennessee’s State Collaborative
on Reforming Education.
“Whether our students
choose to attend trade schools,
community colleges or fouryear universities, it is critical
that they have a solid K-12
foundation, Woodson said.
The ACT is a nationally
recognized measure of college
readiness. If students meet
benchmarks
on
the
standardized test in English,
math, reading and science, they
are considered college-ready,
meaning they could take a
college-level course in that
subject area and earn at least a
“C.”

readiness in Tennessee and
other states, visit www.act.org.

Little Miss Top Ten:
The Savvy
Consumer Column
Job Scams: Be wary
of firms that charge
fees to find you a job
Nashville, TN – If you are
one of many Americans
looking for a job, you have
probably seen ads for job
placement firms that promise
results. While many of these
firms may be legitimate and
helpful,
others
may
misrepresent their services,
promote outdated or fictitious
job offerings and charge high
fees in advance for services that
may not lead to a job.
Before you are tempted to
spend money with placement
firms:
• Reject any company that
promises to get you a job.
• Be skeptical of any
employment
service
that
charges first.
• Get a copy of the
company’s contract and read it
carefully before you pay any
money.
• Take your time reading the
contract. Don’t be caught up in
a rush to pay for services.
• Stay away from highpressure sales pitches that
require you to pay now or risk
losing out on an opportunity.
• Be
cautious
about
purchasing services or products
from a firm that’s reluctant to
answer your questions.
• Be aware that some listing
services and consultants write
ads to sound like they are jobs
when they are actually selling
general information about
getting a job.
• Follow up with any offices
or companies mentioned in an
ad to find out if the company is
really hiring.
• Be wary of firms that
promote
“previously
undisclosed”
federal
government jobs. All federal
positions are announced to the
public on www.usajobs.gov.
• Check with Consumer
Affairs,
800-342-8385
or
consumer.affairs@tn.gov, to
see if any complaints have been
filed against a company with
which you intend to do
business.

USDA Announces
Availability Of Addional
Conservation Reserve
Program Acres To Support
Wildlife Habitat
Agriculture Secretary Tom
Vilsack recently announced that
the
U.S. Department
of
Agriculture
(USDA)
has
approved the reallocation of
153,972 acres available through
the Conservation Reserve
Program (CRP) initiative
entitled State Acres for Wildlife
Enhancement (SAFE), to
support conservation and
restoration important habitat
for lesser prairie chickens, sage
and sharp-tailed grouse, and
other grassland, sage or prairiedependent species.
SAFE
projects
are
located
in
Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho,
Indiana, Montana, Nebraska,
Tennessee and Texas.
“USDA
is
reallocating
available SAFE acres in order
to meet habitat goals for the
lesser prairie chicken, and
sharp-tailed grouse, and other
priority species of concern.”
Vilsack said. “Through our
conservation programs, USDA
is committed to restoring
habitat for wildlife and
preserving
our
natural
resources
and
outdoor
traditions for future generations
to enjoy.”
The announcement is part of
a broader USDA effort to
support conservation and
restoration
of
important
habitats for wildlife. Also,
USDA’s Natural Resources
Conservation
Service
announced that more than 150
Northern Plains farmers and
ranchers have applied for a new
initiative designed to enhance
migratory bird habitat, improve
water quality and the health of
grasslands in the Prairie
Pothole Region of Iowa,
Minnesota, Montana, North
Dakota and South Dakota.
Additionally, FSA and the
Quality Deer management
Association renewed their
collaborative commitment to
enhance habitat for whitetailed deer and other wildlife
with the signing of a
cooperative agreement.
SAFE is a continuous CRP
practice that conserves and
restores habitat for For wildlife
species that are threatened or
endangered, have suffered
significant population declines
or
are
important
environmentally, economically
or socially.
The announcement supports
efforts to give attention to the
lesser prairie chicken, sage
grouse ant other important
wildlife concerns and related
conservation initiatives of the
USDA. SAFE is currently
capped at 850,000 acres
nationally. Acres are now
allocated across 90 SAFE
projects located in 35 states and
Puerto Rico.
Under
SAFE,
stat
enrollment of eligible farm
land in continuous CRP will
provide significant wildlife
value, especially for threatened
and endangered species and
other
environmental,

USDA monitors SAFE and
other continuous CRP activity
and manages available acres to
ensure that CRP goals and
objectives are being met.
Farmers and ranchers may

The long-term
vegetative cover also enhances
wildlife habitat. CRP has been
credited with being an
important contributor to
retaining sage grouse habitat
and increasing waterfowl
populations in the prairie

Dragons Battle, But Fall To
Tough Sequatchie Co. Team
35-22 In Season Opener
Even though they came up on
the short end of the score in
their season opener against a
tough Sequatchie County team,
the York Football Dragons
gained a lot of respect, as they
gave the state-ranked Indians
about all they wanted.
An obvious underdog going
into the contest, the Dragons
utilized a ball-control offense to
maintain possession most of
the first half and held a 15-7
advantage before the Indians
scored just before intermission
to close the gap to 15-14.
The game pitted York head
coach Dickie Brown against
one of his former Bledsoe
County players Chad Barger,
and was a rematch of the 2009
playoff opener which York won
by a 28-16 score.
Although York controlled the
tempo of the game for the first
half, the Indians showed why
they are state-ranked as their
experience and speed began to
show in the third period, as they
put two scores on the board to
take and keep the lead.
Although they only ran 39
offensive plays in the game, the
Indians averaged 9 yards per
rush, as they rolled up 337
yards-- all on the ground.
Although York Coach Brown
was obviously disappointed to
not get the win, he gave credit
to the Indians for their second
half performance.
“We thought we could play
with them and we did,” Brown
said, “We had the lead at
halftime, and matched up with
them the first half. However,
they returned all five starters on
their offensive line, 18 seniors,
and it obviously showed. They
really got after it. (Austin)
Lamb, especially, is a really
good player on both sides of
the ball, and we were just a little
overwhelmed in the second
half.”
The Dragons opened the
game with an 11-play, 77-yard
drive which took up more than
5 minutes, with the score
coming on a 13-yard run by
quarterback Brannon McNellis
and Cullen Roysden giving the
Dragons a 7-0 lead with his
point-after kick.
Sequatchie County responded
with a 5-play, 72-yard drive
which was capped by Eli Stout’s
28-yard scamper, followed by
the extra point by Juan
Martinez to knot the score at 77 with 3:24 left in the opening
period. Stout had another
carry for 24 yards in the drive.
On York’s next possession,
they again exhibited good ball
control, moving 72 yards in 8
plays, and going ahead on Drew
Starr’s 16 yard run, followed by
a pass from McNellis to Trey
Moody for the conversion to
give the Dragons a 15-7
advantage.
Both teams then stepped up
their defensive effort on the next
two series, with York holding
the Indians to only 21 yards on
their next two possessions, and
the Indians stopping York’s
efforts with a pass interception
on one and a fumble recovery
on the other.
The fumble recovery at the
York 40 with 1:22 left in the
half allowed the Indians to not
only get back into the contest,
but regain the momentum, as
they scored 3 plays later when
Jerry Fain scored from 13 yards
out, and Martinez booting the
conversion to close the margin
to 15-14 at the half.
That momentum continued
into the third period, Shane
Yother capped a 65-yard, 6-play
drive with an 8-yard run to take
the lead 21-15, and after they
intercepted their second pass of
the night at the York 22, took
only 3 plays to extend that lead
to 28-15 as Tristen Johnson
took it in from 8 yards out.
York responded with another
solid drive, this one covering 67
yards in 7 plays, with Tyler
Huddleston taking it in from
35 yards out and Cullen
Roysden booting his second
point-after of the night to close
the gap to 28-22 with 2:20 left in
the third period.
An attempted on-side kick by
York came up just inches short,
giving the Indians good field
position on the Dragon 45, and
two plays later, Stout broke
through the line and raced 44
yards untouched into the end
zone, with the extra point giving
the Indians a 35-22 advantage,
which turned out to be the final
margin, as neither team was
able to muster a score in the
final frame.
Tyler Huddleston led the
rushing attack for York with
107 yards on 11 carries with one
touchdown, with Brannon
McNellis adding 54 yards and a
touchdown on 15 carries. Drew
Starr added 37 yards and a
touchdown on 8 carries, and
Cullen Roysden picked up 9
yards on 4 carries.
Shane Yother paced the
Indians with 110 yards and a
touchdown on 8 carries, with
Eli Stout netting 99 yards and 2
touchdowns; Jerry Fain with 83
yards and a touchdown, and
Tristen Johnson with 39 yards
and a touchdown.
In the passing department,
York’s Brannon McNellis was 8
for 13 for 99 yards with two
interceptions,
while
Sequatchie’s Eli Stout was 0-for
2.
The Dragons will return

Tennessee’s 2011 Free Hunting
Day Is Saturday, August 27th
NASHVILLE
--All
Tennesseans are reminded that
Saturday, Aug. 27 is Free
Hunting Day in Tennessee
when state residents may hunt
without a license. The annual
event coincides with the
opening day of squirrel season.
Resources Agency provides the
free day in hopes of increasing
interest in hunting. Squirrel
hunting is one of Tennessee’s
oldest and favorite traditions.
The day serves as an excellent
opportunity for persons to
experience the enjoyment of the
sport. Regular hunters are
encouraged to introduce friends
and family members (young
and old) to the outdoors sport.
It is also an excellent
opportunity for those folks
who have not tried hunting for
sometime.
On Free Hunting Day, state
resident hunters are exempt
from hunting licenses and
WMA permits requirements.
Many of the WMAs are open
to hunters seeking public access
on Aug. 27. Hunters are asked
to check the information for
particular WMAs in the newlypublished 2011 Tennessee
Hunting and Trapping Guide
which is available online at
www.tnwildlife.org or copies
are available at any TWRA
regional office or at most
outlets where licenses are sold.
Hunter
education
requirements have not been
waived for Free Hunting Day.
Anyone born on or after Jan. 1,
1969 is required to have
successfully completed a hunter
education course. A one-time,
one-year apprentice license is
said Miles. “It is a testament to required for those born on or
the dedication and diligence of after Jan. 1, 1969 if the hunter
Catoosa WMA personnel, who
worked to find and remove the
nails and spikes, that we are
able to re-open the area earlier
than we originally anticipated.”
As the WMA re-opens,
visitors should be aware that
some danger may still exist on
the WMA, particularly when
travelling on secondary roads
and trails. “The closure and
the circumstances that led to
the closure were unfortunate,”
said Miles. “The actions of
these
vandals
negatively
impacted a lot of recreational
users
of
Catoosa
and
negatively impacted the local
economies of surrounding
counties. It will be a good
feeling to see Catoosa
reasonably safe and open
again.”
The earlier than expected reopening of Catoosa WMA will
allow the area to be accessible
to the public for Tennessee’s
Annual Free Hunting Day on
Saturday, August 27. Free
Hunting Day in Tennessee is
when state residents may hunt
without a license. The event
coincides with the opening day
of squirrel hunting season.
TWRA To Re-Open Catoosa
WMA For Public Access
Resources
Agency
has
announced that Catoosa
Wildlife Management Area
located
in
Cumberland,
Morgan, and Fentress counties
will be re-opened to public
access effective Saturday,
August 20, 2011.
Catoosa
WMA has been officially
closed since August 8, 2011 due
to vandalism in the form of
nails, spikes, and nail boards
placed in secondary roads and
fields across the area. The
WMA was closed for public
safety concerns related to the
vandalism.
Throughout the 12-day
closure, TWRA personnel have
worked to find and remove the
dangerous materials. As a
result of the cleanup effort,
TWRA officials have made
significant efforts to find and
remove the hazardous material
and now are reasonably assured
that the WMA is safe again for
public use. According to Kirk
Miles, TWRA Region III
Wildlife Program Manager, the
re-opening of the WMA comes
earlier than expected.
“When we began our cleanup
efforts we set a target date of
August 27 to re-open Catoosa,”
Brannon McNellis gets outside for a good gain in action at
Sequatchie County.
education course has not been
completed.
Hunters are allowed to
harvest up to 10 squirrels a day
from this Saturday through
Feb. 29, with each hunting day
beginning a half-hour before
sunrise and ending a half-hour
after sunset.
In addition to squirrels, those
species that have a year-round
season will be open as well. The
year-round species include
armadillo, beaver, coyote,
groundhog, and striped skunk.

Summer is definitely coming;
so prepare now for those “dog
days” and make sure that your
pet is taken care of when the
temperatures climb, especially if
he lives outside. Ensure that he
is safe and secure from the
elements.
First and foremost, do NOT
take your dog with you in your
car!
Not
only
is
it
uncomfortable for him, as you
will find out when you read the
rest of this article, but also the
city police and the sheriff will
ticket you if they think that the
dog is in distress, so don't risk
it. You will be tempted because
it might feel cool to you, but
even if you park in the shade
and crack the windows, it is still
very dangerous.

temperature in your car can
reach 102 degrees after only 10
minutes; at 30 minutes, the
temperature will reach 120
degrees. At 110 degrees, pets
are in danger of heatstroke. On
hot and humid days, the
temperature in a car parked in
direct sunlight can rise more
than 30 degrees per minute and
quickly become lethal. Dogs
can suffer brain and organ
damage after just 15 minutes.
The local authorities are
advertising that they will ticket
you if they see a dog left in a
car around town.
For the dog who spends most
of his days outside, he MUST
have ample amounts of water.
It is a very good idea to make
sure that your dog can't knock
over his water bowl. Try using
a bucket that has a handle that
you can tie to the fence or some
other structure.
Shade is a very important
part of keeping your dog not
only comfortable in the
summer months but also could
be the difference between life
and death for him. I see a lot of
folks who use utility tarps to
cover their dog kennel or to just
give their dog a place in the
yard to get some relief from the
heat. This is a great tool, but be
very careful. Tarps, if not
installed properly, can actually
hold in the hot air and create a
literal oven, possibly causing
heatstroke and/or death. You
don't want to completely
enclose a kennel; simply cover
the top but not all of the sides.
Another
very
good
alternative for the tarp is the
UV-shade material sold in
nurseries and ranch supply
stores. There are many
suppliers online as well who
will custom cut your fabric,
which includes grommets and
instructions on use. Outside
temperature can be dropped
more than 15 degrees with
effective
shading
and
ventilation. Keep in mind that
UV-shade
netting
allows
heated, rising air to pass
through the open knit. Shade
fabric does not trap heat like a
rainproof tarp, metal roof, or
plastic patio cover.
Buy a hard-sided kiddy pool
at Walmart, which gives the
dog a great place to cool off.
However, you need to change
the water every so often so that
it doesn't harbor mosquitoes
and doesn't continue to heat up
each day, defeating the purpose
of the pool.
Try not to overwork him in
the heat of the day if at all
possible. Basically, if you are
uncomfortable, he probably is
too. Try changing your feeding
routine so that he isn't eating in
the heat of the day. Feed first
thing in the morning and then
wait until later in the day to
feed again if you feed twice per
day.
These are some of the
symptoms of heat stress caused
by exposure to extreme
temperatures: heavy panting,
glazed eyes, rapid heartbeat,
restlessness, excessive thirst,
lethargy, fever, dizziness, lack
of
coordination, profuse
salivation, vomiting, a deep red
or
purple
tongue
and
unconsciousness.
These are some things that
you can do if your pet shows
symptoms of heatstroke: Take
steps to gradually lower his
body temperature immediately;
move the animal into the shade
or an air-conditioned area;
apply ice packs or cold towels
to his head, neck and chest or
immerse him in cool (not cold)
water; let him drink small
amounts of cool water or lick
ice cubes; and take him directly
to a veterinarian if needed.
During
the
summer,
companion animals die every
year from heatstroke. The
worst part is knowing that each
death is preventable. Do your
best friend a favor and leave
him at home while you run
your errands. Instead, buy him
a treat at the store and spend
sometime with him in the
coolness of the evening.

TTU Receives First To The Top Awards For
Professional Development For K-12 Teachers
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. (Aug
10, 2011) –Tennessee Tech
University has been awarded
$632,700 to improve teacher
training in STEM subjects in
the Upper Cumberland region
as part of the state’s First to the
Top initiative.
In 2010, Tennessee was one
of two states granted more
than 500 million in federal
funding for improvements in
education through the Race to
the Top initiative. Tennessee’s
First to the Top education plan
includes
expanding
performance goals, including
academic readiness for young
students, better preparing high
school graduates for college
and careers, and higher rates of
graduates
enrolling
and
succeeding in post-secondary
education.
Central to the success of
these goals for students is the
training, technologies and
classroom resources available
to the state’s educators.
The four programs funded at
TTU, by sub-grants recently
awarded by the Tennessee
Higher
Education
Commission, provide 16month intensive professional
development training for
teachers
representing
kindergarten through 12th
grade in science, technology,
engineering and mathematics.
The training workshops will
involve more than 100 teachers
in targeted programs focused
on their students’ learning
needs. Statewide, more than
300 teachers will have access to
cutting-edge training through
First to the Top programming
offered by other universities.
TTU’s College of Education
has a history of successful,
ongoing relationships with
regional school systems. The
professional
development
programs offered by TTU
represent not only partnerships
with schools, but within the
university itself.
“Faculty
members
representing the departments
of curriculum and instruction,
chemistry, engineering, and
math have collaborated to
provide these exceptional,
standards-aligned
training
programs to our K-12
teachers,” said Sally Pardue,
director of TTU’s Millard
Oakley STEM Center, which is
the host venue for the
professional
development
training.
The university’s four winning
proposals were submitted by
associate professor Holly
Anthony
and
assistant
professor Jane Baker, both of
TTU’s
curriculum
and
instruction department, Susan
Gore, chair of the department
and Kathy Rust, TTU
chemistry instructor. Across the
state, 36 grant proposals were
submitted and 11 were funded.
Anthony’s project involves
mathematics
instruction
through core and Tennessee
learning
standards-based
content. Thirty middle school
teachers will participate in
interactive activities and learn
strategies to engage their
students.
David
Smith,
associate professor in TTU’s
math department, will co-direct
the $142,300 project.
Baker will work with 30 early
childhood educators, mostly
from rural schools in the region.
The program will explore
Tennessee learning standards,
math content and active
learning experiences with a
grant of $167,900. The project
co-director is Kara Fromke,
math instructor.
Gore’s program serves 25
elementary school science
teachers and is directed toward
expanding physical science
content while embedding
inquiry,
technology
and
engineering state standards.
TTU engineering instructor
Ken Hunter and chemistry
instructor Rust are project codirectors. The award was for
$198,500.
With $123,900 in funding,
Rust will guide 20 high school
teachers through intensive
professional development in
chemistry and physical science.
Project co-director is Bethany
Stevens,
instructor
of
curriculum and instruction.
Collectively, the training
programs will serve teachers in
Bledsoe,
Cannon,
Clay,
DeKalb, Fentress, Overton,
Pickett, Putnam, Sequatchie,
Van Buren, Warren and White
counties.

Everybody loves a story.
Children want a favorite story
read time and again. They
make up their own stories
playing “make-believe.” Stories
appear in all forms, from a
parent reading “The Cat in the
Hat” to their child to the latest
Harry Potter movie at the local
theater.
Adults love a good story too.
Tell me about your trip to
China. What did you do on
your hike of the Appalachian
Trail? What was it like to float
down the Amazon? Stories
expand our horizons, stimulate
our imaginations.
Through stories we learn
about our history. We all know
the story of the midnight ride
of Paul Revere. Whether the
event happened quite that way
doesn’t matter. We know the
story of Washington crossing
the Delaware, the Battle of
Gettysburg, and the Battle of
Little Big Horn. We know the
story of Francis Scott Key and
the Star Spangled Banner, and
Betsy Ross and the flag. We
share the stories of our past –
our common history.
The
third
annual
Cumberland
Mountain
Storytelling Festival continues
this storytelling tradition on
Friday, October 21 at 6:30 pm
with stories of the civil war
from Michael Lockett of
Norman, Illinois, stories of a
childhood in Denmark from
Finn Bille of Chattanooga, and
imaginative tales by Judy Baker

Tennessee’s favorite storyteller,
will MC this performance.
