The fi rst round of winter weather moved into the area Monday afternoon in the form of heavy sleet. It didnt take long for the bridges and over-passes to become icy and cause trouble for drivers.

Early Monday afternoon, Tanya Phillips was traveling

on the by-pass in 2004 Dodge Durango when her vehicle began to slide on a patch of ice covering the bridge over Sugar Creek. Her vehicle came to rest on its side, but fortunatley she nor the three juveniles in the vehicle with her were injured according to offi cials at the scene. No fur-ther information concerning the accident was avaialble at

press time.The second round of win-

ter weather came Tuesday, January 15. Haywood Coun-ty schools were closed due to the impending weather, and several local business closed their doors early. The freez-ing rain began just after noon and quickly coated the trees and power lines.

The freezing rain contin-

ued until the early evening hours, and, according to pre-liminary reports from the National Weather Service in Memphis, Haywood County saw about a tenth of an inch of ice accumulation.

That ice accumulation re-sulted in several accidents, most of which occurred on I-40, and schools being closed again on Wednesday.

As a result of a joint effort between Circuit Court Clerk Mary Bond Lonon, the court and other court offi ces, the 2012 calendar year was a record year for General Sessions collections. Each month more than $100,000 was collected, adding up to a total of $1,368,370.84 over the twelve-month period.

In the past 20 years, the most ever collected in the same time frame was $1,347,346.92. Not only was it a record that they collected $21,023.92 more in one year than ever before, but they also broke a record by collecting more than $100,000 every month last year.

When asked what she believed contributed to the record breaking year, Lonon replied, I believe that offering the convenience of making payments with credit cards since February of 2011 has

played a major role in the increase of collections. We took a look at a report of monies paid to the Haywood County Trustee from General Sessions Court for the last 20 years, and there has been a steady increase in collections since February of 2011. Beginning in April of 2011, more fees have been collected each month than the same month for the previous year.

All offi ces participating in the collection effort agree that they are now working as a more cohesive unit due to better communication. Lonon supplies Judge Reid with a weekly report of those who are not current with their fi nes and costs when they are in court. Westn probation offi cer, Jean Marlar, ensures that fi nes and costs are paid while a person in on probation. Reid said, Lonon has done an outstanding job keeping the lines of communication open between her offi ce and my offi ce. He also went on to

say, Even though we will always have unpaid fi nes due to varying circumstances, there appears to be an uptrend to the collection of current and delinquent fees.

Lonon also believes that the convenience of paying fees online has helped the rising trend. You may visit www.courtfeepay.com to pay your fees by credit card. Lonon mentioned that there is a four percent convenience fee added to all credit card transactions.

Lonon noted that her offi ce works in conjunction with Solutia Collection Agency and they are actually collecting delinquent fees from years ago. Solutia charges a $50 collection fee, which the person who has delinquent fees is responsible for. Therefore, the county does not lose any money by using a collection agency.

Although fi gures were not available at the time of our interview, Lonon stated that collections for Circuit Court were on the rise as well.

It is halfway through January and we have had weather in the 20s and the 70s. One day it is sunny and we are in short sleeves and then the next we are in coats, hats and gloves. No wonder everyone is staying so sick. I wish it would just be winter and do its thing and then move on to spring.

We had a wonderful luncheon the other day. Zion church seniors came and ate with us again. It is always great to see such a wonderful church family enjoy each others company. They were all so sweet. One of my best friends mom, Alice Elrod, was with this great group. It was so good to see her.

Our dietary staff would love to feed some of our senior groups. If you are a leader of a senior group, would you be willing to let Diane speak to your group

about all the wonderful things Sugar Creek has to offer? If so, we would love to invite you to come and eat with us. Just give us a call 731-772-1616 to schedule your visit.

Bingo, Trivia, Bible study, exercise and great health talks are just some of the ways we keep our residents busy on these cold days. They enjoy getting together and having some fun. We appreciate the ones that come out and either teaches a bible study class, call Bingo or talk to them about what is going on with their health.

Patricia Simmons was really missed this week as she was unable to come teach our Tuesday bible study. Patricia was out sick, so we are sending up prayers for her to get well very soon. Thank you Patricia for all you do for

our residents. They sure do love you and miss you when you are out.

Starting next month we will be having a Resident Spotlight. One of our residents will be chosen; their picture and some interesting things about them will be put on our billboard in the activity room. I will put them in the paper to let you all know who they are and some of the interesting facts about them. If you know some of our residents and have some really great things to say about them or even a funny story, please give Jessie Howell a call and let her know. She will put your memory on the board when that resident is in our Spotlight.

We hope everyone has a wonderful week and enjoys reading our column. God Bless.

Hello again from us here at Haywood County EMS. Since January is cervical cancer awareness month we thought we would look at cervical cancer this week.

What is cervical cancer? According to the National Cancer Institute, cervical cancer is a cancer that forms in tissues of the cervix. It is usually slow growing and may not have symptoms that can be found with a regular pap test. Cervical cancer is almost always caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. The estimated new cases for 2012 are 12,170 and estimated deaths from cervical cancer in 2012 are approximately 4,220. Cervical cancer can be treated or prevented with many treatments including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and vaccine therapy.

From 2005 2009, the average age at diagnosis for cervical cancer

was 48 years of age. Approximately 0.2% were diagnosed before the age of 20; 14% between the ages of 20 & 34; 25.9% between the ages of 35 & 44; 23.9% between the ages of 45 & 54; 16.7% between the ages of 55 & 64; 10.7% between the ages of 65 and 74; 6.1% between the ages of 75 &84; and 2.6% at the age of 85 and up.

The rate of incidence in women across the board were 8.1 per 100,000 women with people of Hispanic (11.8 per 100,000) and African American (9.8 per 100,000) decent having the highest rates of occurrence.

The average age of death from this horrible disease is 57 years of age. The death rate across the board from this disease is 2.4 per 100,000 females with people of African American (4.3 per 100,000) and American Indians/Alaska Native (3.5 per 100,000) decent having the highest death rates.

Survival for this disease can be calculated with many different methods for different purposes but survival statistics presented here are based on relative survival. Overall 5-year relative survival rate for 2002 2008 was 67.9% on the average for all population groups.

Now as far as risk is concerned, 0.68% of women born today will be diagnosed with cervical cancer. This number can be expressed as 1 in 147 women will be diagnosed in their lifetime.

I know that this has been a large amount of information but if you can only get one thing from this is that everyone needs to be going for their annual checkups. To be effectively treated for anything at all you fi rst have to be diagnosed.

As always, be safe and only call 911 for emergencies only.

By WALTER BATTLE Although winter is

setting in, many indoor and outdoor gardening tasks beckon. Jason Reeves, a research horticulturist at the University of Tennessee Gardens in Jackson offers these reminders for year-round gardening enthusiasts:

Dont forget to water your succulents. Just because they like it on the dry side doesnt mean they dont need water. The lack of humidity in your home during the winter months can dry them out more than you think, said Reeves. Depending on the pot size and the soil-to-plant ratio, I water mine every two to three weeks. I like to set them in the sink for the process. If they are really dry, you may need to water them twice because the fi rst time you water them it may run through.

If you have stored tropical plants for the winter, dont forget them, says the gardening expert. Keep an eye on elephant ears, bananas, cannas, ginger, agaves, and Boston and Kimberly Queen ferns that you may have stored in an enclosed garage, basement or crawl space under the house, said Reeves. They dont need to totally dry out. On the other hand, Reeves adds that tropical can easily be overwatered, causing them to rot. He recommends removing rotting foliage to prevent further decay. For some added color and fragrance during the bleak days of January and February, Reeves encourages gardeners to check out local garden centers for

leftover paperwhite and amaryllis bulbs that are likely to be on sale. Look for bulbs that are fi rm and have not sprouted, he recommends. To keep your paperwhites from fl opping over, add alcohol to the water. For details on this unusual cultural technique, Reeves refers gardeners to this website from Cornell:

http://blogs.cornell.edu/hort/2009/11/10/p i c k l i n g - y o u r -paperwhites/

Outdoors, Reeves says homeowners should continue to keep leaves off the lawn, especially cool-season lawns, because they continue to photosynthesize during the winter. On a dry, warmish day you can mow both cool- and warm-season lawns to help groom the lawn and mulch the leaves.However, the expert cautions to avoid heavy traffi c on cool-season lawns during cold snaps when grass is frozen. Frozen grass is easily broken and the crown can be severely damaged, he says.

Trees, especially evergreens, can also be prone to damage during wet winters. In the event of a wet snow, brush snow off evergreens as it

accumulates, or as soon as possible after the storm, Reeves said. Serious damage can be caused by heavy wet snow. Reeves recommends using a broom in an upward, sweeping motion to encourage heavy snow to fall all the way to the ground.

He also recommends avoiding the use of salt to melt snow and ice from walks and driveway, as it can be harmful to plants. Environmentally friendly products are available at home improvement stores.

For the diehard enthusiast, the expert says you can continue to plant new trees and shrubs as long as the ground is not frozen. Just tuck them in with a 2- or 3-inch layer of mulch, he said. Remember to keep the mulch away from the trunk, however.

Reeves reminds gardeners that pansies will benefi t if you pinch off their withered and cold-damaged blooms, and he encourages them to not lose faith if Old Man Winter is particularly harsh. Study seed catalogs if the cold days of winter seem unrelenting, he said.And dream of lush, warmer days.

General Sessions

Peter Mahurin, of Bowling Green, Ky., was sworn in Wednesday as a new member of the Tennessee Valley Authority board of direc-tors. His term expires on May 18, 2016.

Mahurin, confirmed unanimously by the U.S. Senate on Jan. 1, took the oath of office from U.S. Magistrate Judge H. Brent Brennenstuhl of the Western District of Kentucky during a ceremony at the U.S. Courthouse in Bowling Green.

I am honored to have been appointed to this very important post by the President and confirmed by the U.S. Senate, Mahurin said. TVA has served the Tennessee Valley for almost 80 years and I look forward to serv-ing on the TVA board and representing the people of Kentucky and the entire TVA service area.

Director Mahurin lives in Bowling Green, Ky., and is chairman of Hilliard Lyons Financial Services, a position he has held since 2008. He joined Hilliard Lyons in 1968 and has served in various capacities since that time. Mahurin also serves as a board member for Houchens Industries, Albany Bancorp, Cecilian Bancorp, Gray Construction, Jackson Financial and the Governors Scholars of Kentucky. Previous to Hilliard Lyons, Mahurin was a high school math and science teacher. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in chemistry from Western Kentucky University.

Mahurin is one of four newly confirmed appointments on the TVA board of directors. Michael McWherter, of Jackson, and Joe H. Ritch, of Huntsville, Ala., were sworn in last week. V. Lynn Evans,

of Memphis, will also be sworn in this month. All will join TVA Board Chairman Bill Sansom, of Knoxville, and cur-rent members Barbara Haskew, of Chattanooga, Neil McBride, of Oak Ridge, and Richard Howorth, of Oxford, Miss.

The Tennessee Valley Authority, a corpora-tion owned by the U.S. government, provides electricity for business customers and distribu-tion utilities that serve 9 million people in parts of seven southeastern states at prices below the national average. TVA, which receives no tax-payer money and makes no profits, also provides flood control, navigation and land management for the Tennessee River system and assists utili-ties and state and local governments with eco-nomic development.

United States Senator Bob Corker, R-TN, who was elected overwhelmingly to a second term in November, was sworn in for a second term as the 113th Congress convened in Washington. Corker joined fellow senators in the Senate Chamber at noon today to take the oath, administered by Vice President Joe Biden. I am grateful for the tremendous privilege Tennesseans have given me once again to represent them in the U.S. Senate and to weigh in on the big issues facing our country. There is no

question we face historic challenges that require both parties to work together, most signifi cant of which is putting our countrys fi scal house in order by restoring solvency to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, and I remain committed to offering meaningful solutions for these and other important issues, Corker said. Earlier this month, Corker offered legislation to raise the debt ceiling by roughly $1 trillion in exchange for roughly $1 trillion in reforms to Medicare, Medicaid and

Social Security. To view the legislation and a summary of the Dollar for Dollar Act, visit www.corker.senate.gov. Following the offi cial swearing in, senators participate in a reenactment with their families in the Old Senate Chamber. Corkers wife, Elizabeth, watched from the Senate gallery as Corker was sworn in and joined him for the reenactment. Video footage is posted on YouTube at: http://w w w. y o u t u b e . c o m /watch?v=Nmhe6JRK8jo.

Corker Sworn In for Second Term

Congressman Fincher Sworn into Offi ce

Swearing in marks second term for Fincher

Recently, U.S. Repre-sentative Stephen Finch-er (R-Frog Jump) was offi cially sworn in to rep-resent the 8th Congres-sional District of Tennes-see for the 113th Session of the United States Con-gress. The Speaker of the House, John Boehner, conducted an individual ceremonial swearing-in for Congressman Finch-er with his wife, Lynn, and daughter, Sarah, in the Capitol following the oath of offi ce for all members on the fl oor of

the House of Representa-tives.

It is a tremendous honor to serve the people of the 8th district of Ten-nessee. The federal gov-ernment must work for the people not the other way around. In the next two years, I will fi ght for commonsense solutions. So many times Washing-ton makes issues out to be rocket science and its not, its commonsense. We need to address our countrys addiction to spending. Its common-

sense we must make our country more competi-tive in the global market to create jobs. We can change and get our coun-try moving in the right direction. Washington just needs a healthy dose of commonsense.

Congressman Fincher is a member of the House Committee on Financial Services. For more infor-mation about Congress-man Finchers work in Congress visit www.fi ncher.house.gov.

State Senator Dolores Gresham (R-Somerville) took the oath of offi ce re-cently in Nashville as the 108th General Assembly was gaveled into session. The oath was adminis-tered by Supreme Court Justice William C. Koch, Jr. during the legislatures

three-day organizational session.

I appreciate the spe-cial trust and confi dence placed in me by the people of District 26 in Fayette., Haywood, Hardeman, Chester, McNairy, Hardin, Henderson and Decatur Counties, said Senator Gresham. I am honored and humbled to serve and I promise to carry out my duties with fi delity and integrity.

This is Senator Gresh-ams second term in the State Senate. Previously she served three terms in the House of Representa-

tives. Senator Gresham and her husband, Will, live on their farm in Fay-ette County.

Other organizational tasks that will be taken up include during session the adoption of Senate rules, election of the states con-stitutional offi cers and election of the members of the General Assemblys Joint Fiscal Review Com-mittee. The General As-sembly recessed for two weeks to allow for offi ce assignments.

By SENATOR DOLORES GRESHAM

The 108th General As-sembly was gaveled to order in Nashville as the states 132 lawmakers took the oath of offi ce, elected of-fi cers and organized to be-gin the business of the 2013-2014 legislative sessions.

Families and friends crowded the Senate cham-ber and watched proudly as 16 of the State Senates members took the oath of offi ce, which was the fi rst order of business during the organizational session.

I was very pleased to be joined by my husband Will and my sister Bobbi, who were present with me on the Senate fl oor as I took the oath, said Dolores Gresh-am (R-Somerville).

General Assembly re-elects Secretary of State, Treasurer, and Comptroller

The opening week of the 108th General Assembly was also marked by re-election of the state's constitutional of-fi cers, the secretary of state, treasurer and comptrol-ler. The states constitution provides that the legislature selects the three offi ces in a joint session during the or-ganizational session of each General Assembly, which occurred on Thursday.

Elected and sworn in were Tre Hargett as Secre-tary of State, David Lillard as State Treasurer, and Jus-tin Wilson as Comptroller. Hargett will serve a four-year term, while Lillard and Wilson will serve two-year terms as provided by the Constitution.

The secretary of state has oversight over elections and businesses in the state. The comptroller audits state agencies and county gov-ernments to ensure they are run well. The treasurer keeps track of the state's

coffers, its investments and its pension funds. The three offi cers also serve on sev-eral key boards together, such as the State Building Commission, which main-tains all state-owned pub-lic buildings; the Funding Board, which helps guide budgeting; and the Tennes-see Housing Development Agency, which builds af-fordable housing.

Lt. Governor Ramsey Appoints Senate Commit-tees

In other fi rst week activi-ties, Lt. Governor Ron Ram-sey appointed committees for the 2013-14 legislative sessions. I was pleased to be appointed as Chair of the Education Committee, which reviews all bills per-taining to K-12 and Higher Education. I was also ap-pointed to the Commerce and Labor Committee and the Energy, Agriculture, and Natural Resources Commit-tee.

Financial issues will again dominate legislative session

With organizational tasks out of the way, the General Assembly can now get to work on the important is-sues facing Tennessee. Top-ping this years agenda will be job creation, health care, court reform, workers com-pensation, education reform and consideration of a bal-anced budget that continues to phase in tax reduction measures passed during the last General Assembly.

Governor Haslam is scheduled to deliver his budget address at 6:00 pm on Monday, January 28 to a joint convention of the Gen-eral Assembly. Year-to-date collections for the fi rst quar-ter of the current fi scal year were $68.6 million more than the budgeted estimate. Tennessees State Funding Board met in December

and agreed to a revised tax revenue growth forecast for the current 2012-2013 fi scal year of 1.91% to 2.65% with growth of the general fund set at 1.98% to 2.85%. For the upcoming 2013-2014 fi scal year, the Funding Board projected tax revenue growth of 2.55% to 3.49%, with growth in the general fund set at 2.74% to 3.89%. If state revenues perform according to projections, Tennessee could have any-where from $264 million to $375 million available for the next budget year. Fiscal years begin on July 1.

The surplus will help as Tennessee braces for poten-tial cuts from Washington. In addition, there are huge fi nancial concerns regarding the costs of the Patient Pro-tection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) to Tennes-see as offi cials estimate the federal health reform law will cost the state up to $1.4 billion in its fi rst 5 years.

The lack of a permanent solution regarding cuts in Washington leaves states with little clue about how much their share of fed-eral revenue will shrink this year. However, it was estimated that Tennessees share could be as high as $85 million under the pre-viously adopted sequestra-tion plan. Since prospects are high for another federal showdown in March, this means Tennessee must be very conservative in state spending plans.

The Governor has al-ready asked state depart-ments and agencies to iden-tify fi ve percent in potential cuts in case they are needed. He also wants to prioritize spending for the most criti-cal areas of state govern-ment.

Continued phase in of tax reductions -- The legis-lature will take up the sec-

ond phase of legislation to roll back taxes in the 2013 legislative session. Several tax cut measures were ap-proved last session, includ-ing elimination of the gift tax, phasing out the inheri-tance tax and lowering of the states portion of sales tax on food. The next phase of inheritance tax relief and lowering the states portion on food tax will likely be considered in the upcoming session.

Lt. Governor Ron Ram-sey has also called for the next phase in providing Hall Tax relief. The General Assembly passed legisla-tion in 2011 to provide Hall Tax relief to senior citizens age 65 and older by raising the exemption levels. En-acted in 1929, the Hall Tax is levied on interest and divi-dend income from invest-ments. Over the years, it has become more common that senior citizens have used such investments for their retirement income. Of the individuals who pay the tax, 48 percent are age 65 and older.

The current exemption level for citizens 65 and old-er is $26,200 for a single fi ler or $37,000 for joint fi lers. Expect efforts to raise that exemption level to further provide Hall Tax relief to senior citizens. Legislation has been fi led every General Assembly to abolish the tax completely.

Health Care Expect health care to also be high on the list of issues the leg-islature will tackle this ses-sion. Last year, 77 Tennes-see lawmakers joined the State of Florida, 25 other states, and the National Federation of Independent Business in fi ling as amicus parties (friends of the court) challenging the constitu-tionality of the individual mandate in the Patient Pro-

tection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). Although the Court upheld the indi-vidual mandate requiring citizens to purchase health insurance, it struck down the portion that would have punished states for not ex-panding eligibility for their Medicaid rolls. As a result of that decision, Congress can deny expansion funds to the states, but cannot cut Medicaid for states which do not increase their rolls.

Each year, Tennessee spends about a third of the states budget, $9 billion, on Medicaid. In addition, doc-tors and hospitals across the state provide several billion in free care to uninsured patients. They are compen-sated in part for providing this care by Medicaid and Medicare disproportionate share funds.

Tennessee hospitals are concerned that under the Af-fordable Care Act their dis-proportionate share funds will be reduced by 25 to 50 percent beginning in 2014 unless Tennessee expands its Medicaid eligible popu-lation as required under the new federal healthcare law. The expansion would affect those with incomes below 138 percent of the poverty level, which is the required threshold to receive the al-located federal funds. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) re-cently ruled that the federal law does not provide fl ex-ibility to states for a phased-in or partial expansion.

A report issued by the Kaiser Family Foundations Commission on Medicaid said that Tennessee will see

an increase of 331,000 by 2019, or 29.9 percent, with 246,000 of those being pre-viously uninsured under this level of expansion. The report projects new spend-ing for the state would be $716 million on the low side and $1.5 billion on the high side.

Besides the immediate fi nancial impact, Tennes-see must weigh whether or not the federal government will continue to fund an ex-panded Medicaid-eligible population after the initial three-year commitment in the face of a federal defi cit crisis. The federal govern-ment had pledged to cover the cost of TennCare expan-sion for the fi rst three years and a large portion of the costs thereafter. However, many federal lawmakers are calling for entitlement reform, leaving more ques-tions regarding how long federal funds for the expan-sion will last.

Another concern is the large number of new rules coming out of Washington for the federal healthcare program.

States across the nation are considering all of these factors as they conduct their fi scal analysis and weigh their options regarding a potential Medicaid expan-sion. Legislation has al-ready been fi led in the State Senate to prevent expansion of Tennessee's Medicaid program under the federal healthcare plan.

The General Assembly has adjourned until Janu-ary 28, 2013 to assign offi ces and await budget details.

The Haywood Middle School boys and girls are looking awfully good as the postseason approaches.

Both teams defeated Dyersburg last Thursday to move to 13-0 overall and 8-0 in the West Tennessee Athletic Conference.

The boys went undefeated during the regular season last year.

The girls lost just once in the fi nale to Dyersburg, a team they have already swept this season.

Head coach Buffi e Turner said her team is focused on the postseason.

Making it to state is our goal, she said. Going undefeated is just a bonus.

Monday's game at home against Crestview was postponed because of inclement weather and will be played at a later date.

Both team return to action today at Munford. The boys will play in the MLK tournament at Crestivew on Jan. 21.

The conference

tournament for the boys and girls begins Jan. 24 and 25 at Dyersburg.

The sectionals will be played Feb. 2-8.

In other middle

school action, the boys B team won its conference tournament.

Haywood got some big buckets down the stretch Friday night at home in a key District 13-AA game against fi rst place Covington.

But it wasnt quite enough as the Chargers, ranked No. 7 in the latest Class AA state poll, pulled out a 66-63 win in overtime.

With 44 seconds left in regulation, Jordan Varnado hit a long three-pointer for Haywood to tie the score at 61.

But Covington (16-3 overall, 10-0 district) outscored Haywood 5-2 in the extra period to remain perfect in league play.

I couldnt be more proud of the young fellas, said Haywood coach Kendall Dancy. To play a veteran team like that, which is ranked in the state, to overtime, I couldnt ask for more than that.

Haywood led by eight in the fi rst quarter.

The lead went back and forth through

the second and third quarters.

Alandis Delk scored for Haywood with 4:15 left to give the Tomcats a 58-57 lead.

Covington answered with three free throws, setting up Varnardos 3-pointer that tied the game.

Kyler Douglas led Haywood (11-8, 6-4) with 14 points. Varnado added 12 and Jeffrey Starks scored 10.

Demetrius Dyson led Covington with 24 points, including 11 in the fourth quarter.

Haywoods game Tuesday against Obion County was postponed because of inclement weather and will be rescheduled.

The Tomcats are in fourth place in the district standings. They return to action tomorrow night at Martin Westview, which is ranked fourth in the state and second in the league standings.

On Saturday the Tomcats will host Fayette-Ware for homecoming before

hosting Gibson County next Tuesday in another district game.

Dancy said hes happy overall with how his team is playing as the district tournament

approaches next month. Its hard to ask with

a team this young, but one of our guys needs to step up and give us some production at the end of games, Dancy

said. Haywood was proved

they can compete with the top three teams in the district standings: Covington, Crockett County and Westview.

Im not concerned about who we play in the district tournament, Dancy said. We just need to work on getting our rotation together.
