RATTLER TENNIS. At the conference tournament held last week at Parkers Chapel, the Murfreesboro High School tennis squad qualified several for state competi- tion, including Lea Terrell (above left) with her second- place finish in the singles category, along with the dou- bles team of Justin Faulkner and Blaine Humphry. The squad (pictured above) that attended the meet included Adriana Laurent, Terrell, Faulkner, team coach Mark Wi- ley, Humphry, Brittany Laurent and Addison Morris. Brit- tany Laurent competed in the singles competition and just missed making the state tournament, while Adriana Laurent and Morris were a team in the doubles competi- tion. State participants will travel to Bentonville this Sun- day for competition Monday. Coach Wiley said it was im- portant for the program in the future to identify 8th and 9th graders to begin work on the court, as it was much harder to competitively pick up the sport as a junior or a senior.

By Jean A. Ince Howard County Extension Agent-Staff Chair Preventing spread of germs at work Proper hand washing and preventing the spread of germs is more important now than ever. Just turn on the news or pick up a newspaper and you are sure to see at least one segment devoted to preventing the spread of germs. While you may be aware of proper hand washing, you may not have thought of the number of germs that are in the work- place. In a study conducted by University of Arizona, the workplace has its share of germs. Here are some interesting places that germs can be found. Telephones can have up to 25,127 germs per square inch. Computer keyboards may have 3,295 germs per square inch. And the computer mouse has up to 1,676 germs per square inch. According to the American Cleaning Institute and the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture, here are some tips to help you stay healthy at the workplace. When it comes to spreading infectious diseases, proper hand washing is the number one defense. Routinely wash your hands with soap often during the day. Make time to wash your hands when you arrive at work, before and after lunch, after using the restroom, and in between meetings. Proper hand washing means turning on the water (warm is best), using soap and rubbing your hands for at least 20 seconds, rinsing and then drying. Turn the faucet off with your paper towel after you have dried your hands. Use that News-Leader photo/JOHN BALCH paper towel or another one to open the door. SHE DIDN’T MIND.

I hope everyone is taking some time to hear what is going on in our government. This is a good time for the people of God to pray for Godly decision-making, and let this be a clue as to how urgent it is for everyone to cast their vote for the midterm. Prayers are requested for Quan Maxwell, Goldie Wilson, George Ware, Price Savage, and Irene Hendrix. Thank you to my good neighbor who provided some fresh vegetables for me on the weekend. They made my Sunday’s dinner a feast. Cleo Graves from Portland, Oregon visited relatives in Graves Chapel and White Cliffs on last week. She stopped for a short visit with me.
