Eighty seven was able to donate, of which eight gave double red cells, making a total of 95 units given on the goal of 97. Each donor and volunteer received several door prizes from the local businesses in town. Howard Witty donated his 168 pint, receiving a 21 gallon pin. His blood could have possibly went to 504 different people helping to save their lives. Howard is a true hero who gives of himself so that others may have a chance to see more tomorrows. Ann McBride received a 7 gallon pin, Cheryl K. Franklin received a 6 gallon pin, Stephen Moss a 3 gallon, Kayla Hindman and Sandra Satchell both received 2 gallon pins, and Weldon Parkinson received a 1 gallon pin. Coming out to donate for the first time: Alicia A. Bailey, Kelcey M. Evans, Tammy Mears, Dustin W. Taylor, Deana J. Pillow, Von Carl Franklin, and Barbara Strickland.

The Woodbury Lions Club and the American Red Cross wishes to express a hardy “thank you” to all the local heroes who gave of themselves for others, and would like to recognize local businesses who helped make the drive a big success.

The next step for these defendants will be arraignment day on June 10th. On that day, defendants will be formally read their charges.
We must stress that an indictment is not a finding of guilt. It simply means that the grand jury thought there was enough evidence to set the case for trial.

Lauren Ruehlen has committed to continue her education, and basketball career at Maryville College in Maryville, Tennessee.The daughter of Danny and Kristie Ruehlen, Lauren was a strong post player for the Lions at Cannon County High School.
This 5’11” standout was a four-time All-District performer for Coach Michael Dodger at Cannon County. Ruehlen averaged 7.6 points per game during her career while pouring in 851 career points. She was a force on the boards with 685 career rebounds, ranking third all-time in Cannon County’s school history. Her effort and leadership helped the Lions earn the 4AA Regional title and a berth in the semi-finals of the state tournament with an overall record of 30-8 during her senior season.
Darrin Travillian, head coach of the Maryville College women’s Basketball team, said, “We are thrilled to add Lauren to our roster. She comes from a winning program, as evidenced by her success in the state tournament, and she knows what it takes to be successful. Lauren is an excellent rebounder on both ends of the floor and has a nice touch around the basket. She will spend this upcoming season rehabbing her injured knee and getting acclimated to college life, but we know she will add a great deal to our team in the near future.”
This fall, Ruehlen will join a team that finished the 2010-11 season with a 21-5 record winning the Great South Athletic Conference regular season crown by posting a perfect 14-0 mark during the regular season. The Scots have earned 17 invitations to the NCAA tournament pacing the school’s athletic department in post-season appearances.

Founded in 1819, it is the 12th oldest institution of higher learning in the South and maintains an affiliation with the Presbyterian Church (USA). Known for its academic rigor and its focus on the liberal arts, Maryville is where students come to stretch their minds, stretch themselves and learn how to make a difference in the world. Total enrollment for the spring 2011 semester is 1,103 men and women, representing approximately 17 states and 15 countries.

Nationwide, there are more than 7,800 farmers and ranchers serving on FSA county committees. Committees consist of three to five members who are elected by eligible local producers.
