The Woodbury Police Department would like to thank the Dollar Market and the citizens of Woodbury and Cannon County for making the Toys for Tots program a success again this year. The toys are collected several weeks during the Christmas season and distributed through the Cannon County School System from the Woodbury Police Department. I know that the employees at Dollar Market have encouraged their customers to participate and for them I am thankful. This is one way we can give to the community through the Police Department and the Schools. We have a lot of great businesses in this town who love to support the community and our Police Department is very proud to be a part of it.

with a win 53-50. The Lady Jets went 0 for 7 in the fourth quarter while
Sissom led the way with 21 points. Ashley Basham and Jordan Hollis added

The Cannon County Lionettes are considered to be one of the favorites to win the Sundrop Christmas Romp basketball tournament which starts today in
McMinnville.  To do so however they will have to win not one but two games
today.  The first game pits the 9 and 2 Lionettes against the 1 and 6
Monterey Lady Wildcats.  The game is scheduled to be played at 11:30 at
Boyd Christian School this morning.  WBRY’s noon programming will be
rescheduled at 10:00 this morning with local news, national news from ABC,
and the Cannon County Churches of Christ which will be aired at 10:15 this
morning.  If the Lionettes win, they will then come back to Boyd Christian
this afternoon to play Cumberland County.  The Lady Jets are 4-6 having
lost 4 in a row.  The Lionettes won the previous meeting to start the
2011-2012 season in Crossville 67-53.  Game time is scheduled at 4:00.

Gift cards are handy presents – especially for people who seem to have at least one of everything. During the winter shopping season, a gift card can be ideal.  
But for all the conveniences of gift cards, they often come with fine print that can make them less than perfect. Here’s how consumers can keep that gift card’s policies from dumping snow on their gift-giving this winter:
 
1.     Check expiration dates and fees. In Tennessee, expiration dates, fees and other terms must be clearly disclosed at the time of purchase. The expiration date and fee must be legibly printed on the gift card.
2.     Ask about restrictions. Some card issuers deduct a monthly fee from the card or apply inactivity fees, if a card has not been used for a period of time. These fees will reduce the value of the card. Some gift cards do not allow cash refunds for a remaining balance on a card. You will have to either forfeit the balance or buy additional items.
3.     Know what it will cost. Major shopping mall operators charge fees for gift cards. Gift cards issued by banks and credit card companies often expire and tend to add fees. Fees – including activation fees, transaction fees, maintenance fees and inactivity fees – can lessen a card’s value.
4.     Ask what to do if the card is stolen. Always keep a receipt. Since gift cards are not usually registered to an individual purchaser, they can be easily stolen. Some stores urge customers to access their website and register cards in case they are stolen.
5.     Check on purchase exemptions. Ask if the card may be used at both a store’s physical location and the store’s website. Also ask if the card may be used at other locations, not just the specific store where the card was purchased.
6.     Get as much information as possible for the card’s recipient. Ask for a toll-free phone number, in case there are problems with the gift card. Ask if a website that provides gift card details is available.
