Not Afraid of Zombies!
Grace Johnson wasn’t afraid of zombies, werwolves, mummies, head-less men, ghosts or spiders as she toured the Scott and Judy Wake-field yard last week in preparation for Halloween on this upcomingSunday night. If you don’t go anywhere else, you have to stop by theWakefields on West Cleveland Ave. just to be scared. Photo: DaleWelch/Hilltop Express
Churches have fall festivalon Ha l loween n ightCrawford Avenue between
Elm and Poplar Streets will
be closed to traffic on Sun-
day, Oct. 31, (Halloween
night) from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
It is only open to spooks and
goblins that are traveling be-
tween churches during the
fall festival.
Monterey First Baptist
Church always has a big festi-
val filled with biblically-
based games and lots of food
and candy. It is billed as a
“safe, fun alternative to Hal-
loween.” Participants usually
get lots more candy that what
they could going from door-
to-door and for a whole lot
less work.
Joining them this year, as
they did last year, the Mon-
terey United Methodist and
the Church of the Nazarene
will have a “Trunk or Treat”
party, including the famous
street train ride.
For safety, kids, please be
accompanied by adults and
wear reflective clothing.
Who said only kids could have all the fun, anyway? Pictured, Derek Zacharyand Alice Reed try out the bouncy slide at the Wilson Elementary Fall Festi-val. Photo: Dale Welch See more photos on Page 7
Rails With Trailsadvances another stepBy Dale WelchHilltop [email protected]@hilltopexpress.net
The Town of Monterey had
the first trailhead completed
on the Rails-With-Trails proj-
ect. They may have some of
the first trail section built with
the approval last week from
the town, Putnam County,
City of Algood, City of
Cookeville, the Nashville and
Eastern Rail Corporation and
the Nashville and Eastern
Rail Authority.
An $88,000 Tennessee De-
partment of of Environment
and Conservation (TDEC)
grant was on the line ready to
expire. However, Putnam
County Executive Kim Blay-
lock got an extension on the
grant and got it approved by
all the government entities.
The grant will be for pave-
ment starting at a beginning
point in Monterey and go as
far west as $88,000 will go.
The lease agreement almost
hit another snag last week at
the Nashville and Eastern
Rail Authority meeting. The
executive committee
wanted to put the agree-
ment off for study until
their next meeting in Janu-
ary. By not getting approval
before the end of October
would have effectively killed
the grant for the Monterey
portion. However, County
Executive Kim Blaylock was
at the meeting to explain the
urgency.
One of the hang-ups on the
grant was getting a lease
agreement with the rail-
road corporation. It was
worked out with the rail-
road to lease the trail in
segments. Monterey’s
lease segment will cost
$107,263 for 40 years with
a 3.25-percent interest
rate. Payments will be quar-
terly in February, May, Au-
gust and November each year
for $1,200.38, beginning next
February.

In spite of a not-so-warm-
of-a-response tone from the
Putnam County Commission
when asked for a donation to
help the Monterey High
School Chorus make their
choral competition in Italy,
several Monterey businesses
were quick to jump in to help.
The Cup & Saucer Restau-
rant is donating the price for
each cup of coffee sold at the
restaurant to the cause; Uncle
Hoss BBQ is donating a dol-
lar a pound of pulled pork
sold; and BenAnna’s is offer-
ing a donation of 10-percent
for meals ordered from the
chorus. Plenty more ideas are
in the works.
The chorus was invited to
the international event in
Italy, being the only chorus,
so far, invited from the United
States.
The chorus received a cold
shoulder from the Putnam
County Commission at their
regular meeting last week.
One of Monterey’s represen-
tatives on the commission,
Ron Williamson, had asked
for a $5,000 donation from
the county to help the chorus
members on their way.
County Executive Kim Blay-
lock pointed out to the com-
mission that the Cookeville
High School received a
$5,000 donation for band uni-
forms, in 2004.
Instead of a donation, it was
decided to form a special
committee to come up with
list of guidelines to approve
financial assistance for
school-related activities.
You can help the choir even
if the county commission
won’t. Send money. Checks
need to be made payable to
Monterey High School Cho-
rus Trip; in care of: Monterey
High School, 710 E. Com-
mercial Ave., Monterey, TN
38574.
MHS CHORUS STARTS FUNDRAISING
FOR THE PRICE OF A CUP OF COFFEE. The Monterey High School Chorusis busy doing fundraising for their invited trip to sing in Italy. Several businessesare coming up with unique ways to help. At the Cup & Saucer Restaurant, theyare donating the price of every cup of coffee sold to the choir. Photo: DaleWelch/Hilltop Express

forces to offer free or re-
duced mammograms for
women throughout the re-
gion.
October is dedicated as
National Breast Cancer
Awareness month to edu-
cate people about the dan-
gers of the disease and urge
women to get screened be-
cause the best protection
against the disease is early

and helping women of the
region protect themselves
against this disease. Next
week, October 25-29,

age or order should take the
opportunity to receive a
free or reduced cost screen-
ing mammogram with a
physician’s order.
Who: Women 40 years of
age or older
What: Free Mammogram
for women who have no
prior history of breast re-
lated disease and have
never had a screening
mammogram (with physi-
cian’s order) OR
Reduced cost mammo-
gram ($70) for women who
have no prior history of
breast related disease but
have had a mammogram in
the past (with physician’s
order)
When: October 25-29
Where: Three Convenient
Locations: Cumberland
Medical Center, the CMC
Outpatient Imaging Center
located on Hayes Street,
and Cumberland Medical
Center at Fairfield Glade.
Women are encouraged to
call or visit their family
physician next week and

a screening mammogram at
the CMC Imaging Center,
or women can call 459-
7103 directly to schedule
one.
About Breast Cancer
Awareness Month
Breast cancer is the most
common cancer among
women after skin cancer,
and it is the second-leading
cause of cancer deaths in
women. The American
Cancer Society estimates
that more than 190,000
new cases of breast cancer
will be diagnosed among
women in the United States
in 2010. The American
Cancer Society recom-
mends yearly screening
mammography for women
40 years of age and older.
All three Cumberland
Medical Center mammog-
raphy facilities are accred-
ited by the American Col-
lege of Radiology and the
Food & Drug Administra-
tion (FDA). The Technol-
ogists performing
mammography procedures
at CMC are certified by the
American Registry of Ra-
diologic Technologists.
All five of the Radiologists
at CMC are board-certified
by the American College of
Radiology and interpret an
average of 150 mammo-
grams each per month.
Quality control measures
include random double
readings or interpretations
by two or more radiologists
on a percentage of all mam-
mograms.

Several of our group went to Pigeon Forge to the American Oldies
Theatre last week and had a ball. They were still laughing the next day.
Those of us who missed this trip will just have to plan another one. We
also had members on trips up east and west and they tell me the color
on our mountains are much brighter and prettier. So get out and enjoy
our area.
Speaking of trips we are planning one during the first part of No-
vember to the Museum of Appalachia at Norris so if you are interested let me know. It
should be a good time to do this when the weather is not too hot or to cold. It doesn't mat-
ter how many times you have been there is always something new to see. There are several
things there that have been donated by Monterey people so it's a good way to reminisce.
We are also talking about going to the Country Music Hall of Fame at a later date. Seniors
especially like to get out and go after being inside during the hot summer so plan on com-
ing to the senior center and joining in the fun. We have some interesting things coming up
for our November Wednesdays as well.
On the 3rd is when we have our Medicare experts on Part D insurance here. If you are
thinking of changing your plan you need to hear this one. On the second Wednesday Mar-
shal Judd will be here talking about John F. Kennedy and his untimely death & the theory
of conspiracy. More to come later. See you at the center, Frances

I step out side and I am sur-
rounded with yellows, or-
anges, reds and browns. It is
so beautiful.
How can anyone not know
that God is alive? All the
fields around me are har-
vested and it makes me think
of the verse " The harvest are
plenty but the laborer are
few."
Fall is all around us and is
my favorite season. Although
I don 't like to think of what
follows.
My grandaughters were
bragging about Cracker Bar-
rels chicken 'n dumplins last
week so, I suggested we try
to make some together. Well
they cooked chicken, they
mixed flour and butter. They
poured in their milk and
rolled 'em out on the counter.
Next they cut them out.
They dropped them into the
hot broth and peppered 'em
good. Boy, talk about brag-
ging and eating.
They think their dumplins
are better than Cracker Bar-
rels now!
I hope every body enjoys
this fall weather.

Monterey Moments...A bunch of us from the Senior
Center went tp Pigeon Forge
last week to a theatre to hear
some of our favorite Oldies and
we had a wonderful time. They
had audience participation.
From our group several helped
with "Old McDonald Had a
Farm" along with some from a
Kentucky group. They recog-
nized October birthdays and an-
niversaries.
Congratulations to Jo Nelda
(Stamps) and Morgan Jones on
five years of marriage.
Bonnie Rowland and Mary
Ann Chambers celebrated birth-
days.
Traffic, as usual was backed up
so we came back through
Maryville and we, Bonnie,
Mary Ann and I stopped off to
See our niece and nephew,
Carol and Kenny Partin. We
hadn't
seen them in a while so we re-
ally enjoyed our visit with them
and a couple pizzas.
What time Carol and Kenny
are not working at their regular
jobs they are fixer uppers. They
buy a house that has been
empty for awhile and in need of
repairs and when they get fin-
ished it is a thing of beauty.
They are very talented.
I met a couple From Belle-
view, Ronny and Chryl Stevens
Thompson who decided to
come to Monterey and go
Thrifting and to Muddy Pond
while celebrating their forty
four years of marriage October
21st.
My twin great grandsons, Ben
and Luke Howell celebrated
their birthday with mommy and
daddy, Becky and Josh, cousins,
aunts, grandparents and friends.
They turned two years old.
Also celebrating birthdays are
Marie Roberson The 26th and
her son Gary Roberson the
28th.

nor Hines celebrated birthdays

Drucilla’s Little
Helpersby Drucilla

Do you realize it is almost No-
vember and that means "time
to eat turkey". I saw some
turkeys passing by my place
the other day. It looked like
they were holding signs that
said, "Eat more vegetables.
They are better for you." They
looked like they had been los-
ing some weight. It will not
be long until Thanksgiving
and then Christmas.
We are working on our Christ-
mas songs in our children's
choir. Julie and I have the 5
year olds. One of the songs we
were singing was Away in a
Manger. When we teach them
the song we talk about each
word to get them to know what
they are singing. We asked the
question "Where was baby
Jesus laying?" A little boy
who had been singing very
good and loud said,"On the
floor."
Speaking of singing, our cho-
rus at Monterey High School
has been invited to sing in Italy
next July. My granddaughter
sings in the chorus. This is an
exciting opportunity for our
students here. We were the
only ones invited from the
United States. They will be
going to different churches in
the community and singing to
raise funds. They would cer-
Grandchildren are a grand
thing. I think they keep you
young. My little seven year
old, Haley, was at my house the
other evening and she looked
up at me and asked, "Grannie,
what color was your hair before
you got old?" I told her red and
she said, " I thought it used to
be. She could have been telling
me something.

I have two recipes that could
be used for the holidays, if you
are already thinking about that.
Cranberry Mallow Dessert
1 can (16 ounces) whole berry
cranberry sauce
2 cups miniature marshmal-
lows
1 can (8 ounces) crushed
pineapple, drained
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 cups whipped topping
In a large bowl, combine then
cranberry sauce, marshmal-
lows, pineapple and lemon
juice. Fold in whipped top-
ping. Transfer to a serving
dish. Cover and refrigerate
until serving. Makes 6-8 serv-
ings.
Dolloped Sweet Potatoes
4 small sweet potatoes
1 package (3 ounces) cream
cheese, softened
1 tablespoon butter, softened
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Scrub and pierce sweet pota-
toes; place on a microwave safe
plate. Microwave, uncovered,
on high for 10-13 minutes or
until tender, turning twice.
Meanwhile, in a small mixing
bowl, beat the cream cheese,
butter, brown sugar and pump-
kin pie spice. Make a slice in
the top of each potato; fluff
pulp with a fork. Dollop with
cream cheese mixture. Serves
4 and is ready in 15 minutes.
That's all for today. By the
way, there will be a large yard
sale at the Trinty church in Al-
good on November 6. I am set-
ting up along with some of my
family. I will have cookbooks

stuff. Maybe I will get ener-

Outside My Window
Ah, October! Cool and
crisp. The days have got-
ten shorter, much shorter.
This time of year reminds
me of a little story my
children always liked for
me to tell them when they
were younger. Many
times, they asked for this
for their bedtime story.
It s a story from my
childhood we named “The
Little Sweater.”
When I was in second
grade, we lived in
Brookeville, Pennsylva-
nia. It is a beautiful place.
Brookeville is up close to
the Great Lakes. (We
have woods here in Ten-
nessee, they have forests
in Brookeville, Pa.) We
had a big back yard at our
house. It had just the right
amount of trees. There
was also a swing set in the
yard. That was the best
part. All children love to
swing!
I have a lot of good
memories of Brookeville,
but one of my favorites is
swinging on my little
Lets climb for God
A small girl had been prom-
ised the privilege of climbing
to a nearby hilltop where her
brother enjoyed playing. But
when she came within sight
of the steep, rough path, she
drew back in dismay. "Why,
isn't there a smooth spot any-
where? It's all bumpy and
stony!" she exclaimed.
"Yes," said her more experi-
enced older brother, "but
how else would we ever
climb to the top if it wasn't?
The stones and bumps are
what we step on to get
there." So too, God in His
faithfulness allows affliction,
and He even puts in our path
what some might consider to
be stumbling blocks. For the
believer, however, obstacles
can become steppingstones
to the higher ground of
Christian victory and bless-
ing.
Often our lives are like this
hill climbed by this little girl.
We marvel at the bumps and
stones we are forced to over-
come in our journey. Yet, we
fail to realize that in every-
thing we face, God has a plan
and even as we struggle, we
are just heading up.
God speaks to Elijah and
tell him in 1Ki 19:7 And the
angel of the LORD came
again the second time, and
touched him, and said, Arise
and eat; because the journey
is too great for thee.
Still today without the Spir-
itual food of God and His
grace to help us through the
journey is too great for us.
Without Him the mountains
are to high and the problems
to large. We are the Apostle
Paul need to understand that swing set. It seems like
that is what I would do
every evening. I never
wanted to stop swinging
and come inside! I re-
member the air being cool
and crisp and feeling cold.
I remember the leaves
crunching as I walked
around in the yard before I
finally settled in my
swing. I would swing for
a while, and the air would
get cooler and cooler.
Then, I would make my-
self stop swinging and run
back to the house. My
mother would put my
l i t t l e sweater on me to
keep my arms warm.
That was a wonderful
feeling! So cozy and
warm!
Then, with my little
sweater on, I would go
back out to my swing; and
as I was swinging, it
would get dusky dark.
Then I could see the lights
on in the house and see the
kitchen door. I knew Dad
was there and Mother was
there cooking our supper.
I felt so good and cozy
and warm swinging and
swinging on my swing,
wearing my little sweater.
That little sweater kept my
arms warm. When Mother
would call that supper was
ready, it was difficult to
stop swinging and go in-
side. But, I knew the next
evening I could do all this
again; and I did. And
that’s the end of our fam-
ily story “The Little
Sweater.”
I didn’t know it at the
time, but all these things
represented a wonderful
loving, safe, secure family
life for me. Some things
FROM THE PASTOR’S PEN
without God we cannot ac-
complish any great work
without His help.
But when we come to de-
pend on the Lord as Paul we
cannot be stopped. Php 4:13
I can do all things through
Christ which strengtheneth
me.
If you have ever wondered
how Paul was about to con-
tinue on as he did for God, it
was his dependence on
Christ help to get him
through. You and I must do
the same today. Heb 13:5 Let
your conversation be without
covetousness; and be con-
tent with such things as ye
have: for he hath said, I
will never leave thee, nor
forsake thee. This is a
promise that He will be
with us.
By Angie Woolbright
You can overcome this moun-
tain in your life. Just do not
try to climb it alone.
We are as the little girl
climbing and Christ is as the
big brother. He puts us in
front and helps us along the
way.

Each year area merchants and
hundreds of shoppers look
forward to the first weekend
in November as Mistletoe
Market & Café gets underway
at the Leslie Town Centre in
downtown Cookeville. The
8th Annual Mistletoe Market
& Café to be held on Friday
and Saturday, November 5th
& 6th, features live Christmas
music, food, merchant door
prizes and great bargains.
Shoppers may want to come
dressed for Christmas as
Christmas portraits will be

businesses including Belk
Department Store and Oreck.
This Christmas tradition
brings almost fifty area mer-

showcase unique gifts and
Christmas treats for the fes-
tive two-day shopping extrav-
aganza.
“Many merchants have con-
firmed their booths and are
stocked with gift ideas to sell
at Mistletoe Market & Cafe,”
said Debi Smith, events direc-
tor of the Leslie Town Centre.
“As there are only a few
booths still available, store-
front and home-based mer-
chants are welcome to join the
fun and they promote their
business to hundreds of cus-
tomers attending the two-day
event.”
“Last year over 1,700 shop-
pers attended and this year we
expect even more” said Debi
Smith, events director of the
Leslie Town Centre. “Shop-
pers will have the opportunity
to support patron nonprofit
organizations including
Friends of the Cookeville/Put-
nam County Animals, Gene-
sis House and Putnam County
Habitat for Humanity as
shoppers vote for one group
to win cash from the event
through our popular Together
We Care program.”
Grade-A Catering will offer
tasty foods in the Café
while Blue Eyed Grass en-
tertains with live Christ-
mas music. Admission is
$2 and children age 10 and
under are free. All pro-
ceeds benefit the Together
We Care program. Call Debi

of ashes. (Fall) Check chim-
ney for loose or missing mor-
tar. Have chimney
professionally cleaned. Make
sure damper closes tightly.
(Spring) Leave damper open
for improved ventilation if the
home is not air-conditioned
5. Filters: Remember to
clean or replace filters once a
month, or as needed. Check
and clean dryer vent, air con-
ditioner, stove hood and room
fans. Keep heating and cool-
ing vents clean and free from
furniture and draperies.
6. Safety Equipment: Ensure
that all smoke detectors, car-
bon monoxide detectors and
fire extinguishers are in good
working order. Replace bat-
teries in appropriate devices
as needed, or at least twice
each year.
7. Air Conditioner: (Fall: In
cold-climate areas) Remove
window air-conditioners, or
put weatherproof covers on
them.
8. Refrigerator: Make sure
your refrigerator door seals
are airtight. Test them by clos-
ing the door over a dollar bill.
If you can pull the bill out
easily, the latch may need to
be adjusted or the seal may
need to be replaced. In addi-
tion, if you have a coil-back
refrigerator, vacuum the coils
at least twice each year. Your
refrigerator will run more ef-
ficiently with clean coils.
Also, stock up! A full refrig-
erator uses less energy than an
empty one.
9. Faucets: Check for leaky
faucets in kitchen and bath-
room(s). Replace washers as
necessary.
10. Windows and Doors:
Seal drafty doors and win-
dows. If you added up all of
the small cracks where heat-
ing and cooling escapes
from a home, it would be
the same as having a win-
dow open. Replace seals
as needed.
11. Storm Windows and
Screens: (Fall) Take down
screens (if removable type)
and replace with storm win-
dows. (Spring) Remove,
clean, and store storm win-
dows (if removable). Check
and patch all door and win-
dow screens. Put screens
up (if removable type).
12. Siding and Paint:
Look for cracks and holes
in house siding or paint.
Replace caulk if neces-
sary. A carpet knife can
work well for cutting away
old caulking from house sid-
ing. Slice down alongside it
from both directions with
the hook-like blade, then
use the knife to lift out the
old caulk bead intact.
13. Basement: Check
basement walls and floor for
dampness. Be sure to clean
dehumidifier regularly, if you
have one.
14. Heating System: (Fall)
Have heating system serv-
iced. Change filters.
15. Hot Water Heater:
(Fall) Drain hot water
heater. Remove sediment
from the bottom of the
tank.

Cookeville, Tenn. –
Cookeville Regional Medical
Center today announced that
it has been ranked the best
performing hospital in Ten-
nessee and among the top
10% of all hospitals nation-
wide for coronary interven-
tional procedures from
HealthGrades, the leading in-
dependent healthcare ratings
organization. The recognition
is based on the Thirteenth An-
nual HealthGrades Hospital
Quality in America study, re-
leased today, which analyzes
patient outcomes at virtually
all of the nation’s hospitals.
Patients are demanding in-
creased public reporting of
quality measures, and recent
government reform efforts are
backing them up. According
to the Kaiser Family Founda-
tion, more than 40% of adults
report that they believe there
are major differences in hos-
pital quality in their immedi-
ate geography, and since 1996
the number of consumers that
indicated they would choose
a hospital based on a high
quality rating over familiarity
has increased to 72% from
59%.
HealthGrades’ hospital rat-
ings are the most widely used
objective, actionable quality
measures readily available to
the public and are based
solely on clinical perform-
ance.
In addition to the quality
recognition in the cardiac
service line, Cookeville Re-
gional Medical Center’s or-
thopedic and spine surgery
programs have been ranked
among the top 5% in the na-
tion for their quality. The
hospital received Health-
Grades highest rating – five-
stars – across multiple
categories: coronary interven-
tional procedures, treatment
of heart attacks, hip fracture
repair surgery, back and neck
surgery, and spinal fusion sur-
gery.
“We are both proud and hon-
ored to have received such
recognition from a nationally
known source for our quality
of care,” says Bernie Mat-
tingly, CEO at Cookeville Re-
gional. “It is the result of the
combined efforts of so many
individuals at our facility who
continually strive to bring our
region the latest in health care
treatments and technology
with a personal touch.”
The HealthGrades study, the
largest annual report of its
kind, analyzed patient out-
comes in nearly 40 million
Medicare hospitalization
records from 5,000 hospitals
over the years 2007, 2008 and
2009. This year’s study
found:
• Across all 17 procedures and
diagnoses in which mortality
was studied, there was an ap-
proximate 72% lower chance
of dying in a 5-star rated hos-
pital compared to a 1-star
rated hospital, and a 53%
lower chance of dying in a 5-
star hospital compared with
the national average.
• If all hospitals performed at
the level of a 5-star rated hos-
pital across the 17 procedures
and diagnoses studied,
232,442 Medicare lives could
potentially have been saved
from 2007 through 2009.
The new 2011 HealthGrades
hospital ratings were posted
today and are free to the pub-
lic at www.healthgrades.com.
HealthGrades Hospital Qual-
ity Ratings
HealthGrades’ hospital rat-
ings and awards reflect the
track record of patient out-
comes at hospitals in the form
of mortality and complication
rates. HealthGrades rates hos-
pitals independently based on
data that hospitals submit to
the federal government. No
hospital can opt in or out of
being rated, and no hospital
pays to be rated.
For 26 procedures and med-
ical treatments, HealthGrades
issues star ratings that reflect
the mortality and complica-
tion rates for each category of
care. Hospitals receiving a 5-
star rating have mortality or
complication rates that are
below the national average, to
a statistically significant de-
gree. A 3-star rating means
the hospital performs as ex-
pected. One-star ratings indi-
cate the hospital’s mortality or
complication rates in that pro-
cedure or treatment are statis-
tically higher than average.
Because the risk profiles of
patient populations at hospi-
tals are not alike, Health-
Grades risk-adjusts the data to
allow for equal comparisons.
More information on today’s
HealthGrades study, includ-
ing the complete methodol-
ogy, can be found at
