Approximately 50 years ago, Nashville college students from Fish University, A&I, and American Baptist Theological Seminary began a sit-in campaign with religious leader Kelly Miller Smith and James Lawson during the Civil Rights fight against segregation.

The non-violent protest emerged in the form of massive sit-ins at downtown lunch counter.

The incident would serve as the spark and guide for many others throughout Tennessee, including those in the Knoxville, Chattanooga and Memphis areas.

Until January 22, 2012, residents will have the opportunity to learn much about the sit-ins at the West Tennessee Delta Heritage Center thanks to the

traveling exhibit We Shall Not Be Moved: The 50th Anniversary of Tennessee’s Civil Rights Sit-Ins.The free exhibit made its

premiere at the center last Friday, December 9, pulling a pretty strong crowd.

Through its immense collection of pictures, signage, stories and even letters from protestors, the exhibit explains the thoughts and motivations of a generation forced to fight violent reactions to their protests with non-violence and steady resolve.

What’s perhaps incredible about the exhibit is that while it offers a lot, it’s a significantly scaled down version of the original, noted Tennessee State Curator Graham Perry.

“We had a lot of visuals, for example like hundreds of photos. And there was also a replica lunch counter

we couldn’t include for the mobile version,” Perry said. “We had to choose the most visual, or the ones that told the best parts of the story.”

While the exhibit has been “from one end of Tennessee to literally the other,” Perry said, it will conclude its journey in February 2013, before settling at the University Of Tennessee at Martin in 2014.

Perry stated that he learned so much while helping to put the exhibit together, including how the national sit-ins reflected locally.

“I learned a lot about the sit-ins. Despite the fact that the Civil Rights Movements was happening nationwide, it was really a thinly veiled version of what was happening locally. It was the spark,” Perry said.

The exhibit also received a new surprise in the form of a noteworthy addition.

In 1961, a Chester County resident by the name of Jim Ruth, served as a bus driver for Trailways.

At 21-years-old, and with the promise of $19 and half pay per day for the trip, Ruth would drive a group that many of his other co-workers had refused from either fear or hate of the group.

“One professor in that group told me that, ‘Mr. Ruth you don’t know what you’re doing. You could get hurt or worse from this,” Ruth recalled. “’I said, I’m doing something that I’m suppose to do. If I’m going to die, then my bags are packed.’”

But Ruth took the Nashville group to their destination in Jackson, Miss., and unknowingly would immerse himself as a part of history.

Ruth would drive a group that would become known as the Freedom Riders, and

The Brownsville City Board Of Mayor And Aldermen met during its monthly meeting in City Hall, Tuesday, December 13, handling an ordinance and resolution heavy agenda.

The board approved the first reading of Ordinance #889, which amends the city budget for the fiscal year of 2011-2012.

Following a special budget workshop that took place last week, the city will increase general government fund by $52,175, law enforcement by $110,106, central dispatch by $8586, community development by $443,380 and the rescue squad fund by $13,000.

Mayor Jo Matherne noted that the large increase for law enforcement and community development are due to the city receiving grants after it has already passed its initial budget earlier this year.

A public hearing and second reading for the amended budget will take place during next month’s city board meeting.

The board also approved of a resolution that will support the Regional Economic Development Initiative (REDI) program’s Legislative Agenda Resolution. REDI involves 12 counties, including Haywood, and works to increase area education attainment levels, and create jobs. The city board also voted to pass a resolution that have the city adopt a written debt management policy. The city is currently debt free, but the state Comptroller requires the city to have a plan. The debt policy will establish a set of parameters for the city’s debt obligations and to assist the city in planning and managing any city debt obligations, with an effective and transparent

A Haywood County shooting that took the life of a resident has got the Haywood County Sheriff’s Department investigating the cause.

Details from the Sheriff’s Department are scarce at the moment, but Sheriff Melvin Bond said that authorities were called out to 875 Chestnut Grove Road early Saturday morning on reports of a shooting. When authorities arrived, they discovered Jeff Watson, 37, at the residence with a fatal gunshot wound to the abdomen, Sheriff Melvin Bond said.

Authorities noted the shooting is currently under investigation, with the department now waiting on an autopsy report to help determine the cause and motive.

The sheriff said that they do not have an estimated time as to when a forensics team will finish with their report, nor what the Attorney General will suggest for the department once the forensics have concluded their investigation.

Ward Two brings in the Holiday SeasonBy: STEVEN [email protected]

On Thursday, December 8, 2011 Brownsville’s Ward Two had their third annual Neighborhood Watch Christ-mas Gathering at the WOW building located at 100 Boyd Ave. City Vice Mayor/ Al-derwoman Carolynn Flagg hosted the event with ap-proximately 72 citizens of Ward Two attending the event.

One of the first things that hit you when you walked into the building was the amazing smell of all the food that was there. It was catered by Back Yard Barbeque, but also donated by the residents of the ward themselves.

Mrs Flagg kept the party alive with all the events she had going on. There were door prizes, music, danc-ing and live music sung by the Singing Fireman David Smith. One of the most mem-orable parts was when Mrs. Flagg got out on the dance floor herself, and danced with Drew Mcgruder from the Brownsville Radio Sta-tion.

Poinsettias were given out to 11 citizens who had 100 percent attendance at all the meetings and helped out

with National Night Out. Citizens from ward two also brought in items for Eastside Elementary’s Angel Tree.

All together they donat-ed enough items for seven needy families.

The Town of Stanton held its annual Christmas Parade last Saturday, December 10, bringing in the holidays properly with an immense number of classic cars, trucks and fl oats. Santa and Mrs. Claus made an appearance during the parade, handing out candy to the children in attendance. The downtown area of Stanton was fully occupied with spirited parents and energetic children, leaving some to believe that most of the Stanton residents were defi nitely in attendance for the early afternoon event.

There are many secrets to longevity.

Some point to healthy eating and an active life style, while others would suggest that living stress free can add numerous years to ones life.

But if you had to ask sisters, Mary Jane Ellison and Willie Mae Shaw what their secret to living a long and fruitful life, they, along with their family would probably suggest God.

“Remember you’re in the presence of longevity. Life is linked and longevity is linked to God,” proclaimed one family member to the immense crowd Saturday, December 3, in the Delta Room behind Backyard Barbecue.

Family from Tennessee, Arkansas, Iowa, Indiana, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida gathered to celebrate the birthdays of

Ellison and Shaw. Ellison celebrated her

100th birthday December 6, while Shaw celebrated her 80th birthday on December 8.

Family came together in an event planned since September, for the purpose of celebrating 180 collective years.

The elder sisters enjoyed food, fellowship and entertainment in the form of poetry, family recollections,

interpretative dance and even a comedy act centered on Tyler Perry’s “Meet The Browns.”

In addition to the festivities, Haywood County Mayor Franklin Smith also signed a proclamation, celebrating the 100-year life of Ellison.

It was truly a grand celebration, but given the lives of the sisters, it was one truly earned. Besides serving as wonderful, wives, mothers and

aunts to their family, the sisters have also found themselves involved in various civic activities and church organizations.

Family members in attendance were asked to wear purple and chocolate, a concept started by Paulette and Claudette Shaw.

“We asked you to wear purple and chocolate because they are women of color, and they are royalty,” Paulette said.

funds for the American Cancer Society Relay For Life event.

The event featured

tons of delicious food, along with Christmas tunes in the background to complete the holiday

ambiance. Attendees could also enjoy gazing at the bank’s decorated tree, taking a ride through

downtown Brownsville in a horse carriage, or visiting with Santa. Photos By Calvin Carter

EXHIBIT continuedwhile there was potential opposition, he noted the group arrived safely to their destination.

“They were the best group of people I’ve ever hauled,” Ruth said. “This makes me feel good that I’ve done something for someone.”

Ruth, who was recently

honored by the NAACP in Nashville, heard about the exhibit at the West Heritage Delta Center on the news, and decided to see if he could offer any items from the incident for display.

His items will be on display until the exhibit makes it’s exit. But along

with Ruth’s addition, the hopes of what the exhibit will do for the latest generation remains the same.

“I hope that young people will come in and see that young people are capable of causing change,” Perry said.

plan.The city also approved

of a resolution that will grant the city the ability to approve of administrative services for FEMA-HMGP Phase I and Phase II. Community Development Partners will assist in said administrative services.

Moving on to CDBG disaster funds, the city approved of using the funds to assist in the

acquisition and relocation of resident, Christine Taylor. Taylor, who was located at 613 Rawls Street, volunteered to relocate to a home at 705 East Cooper. Taylor’s home was initially in an area heavily affected by the 2010 May floods. Brownsville used $85,000 of the CDBG Disaster funds to purchase the new home for Taylor.

And finally, the city

approved of a resolution that will allow it to authorize the submission of a Fasttrack grant, which would help provide funds for a water system improvement project for much of the Industrial Park area. Funds are not to exceed $750,000 and the city would have to match 20 percent of the grant.

Off the Beaten Path

You just never know what your kids will come up with by way of musical preferences. You think you can guess, but sometimes they surprise you. The girls have a new favorite Christmas song, for today at least. It’s “Christmas Island,” the Andrews Sisters’ version. It is very seldom played these days, but when I was a very young boy you heard it all through December. It is one of only three or four Christmas songs I remember hearing before I started to school, and I loved it. It was an odd, alien concept even, or maybe especially, back then, the idea of a tropical Christmas in the midst of White Christmas dreams and Winter Wonderlands, but it must have seemed more like a World War II relic to the public than a Christmas song; that may be why it lost popularity in the early 50’s to the point that it was hardly ever played throughout the 60’s, and by the 70’s it all but dropped completely from the airwaves.

After grade school, I never heard it again for decades. Then, in 1997, I moved to Trenton and transferred my American Legion membership from Martin, where I had previously lived, to the Trenton post.

When I did, I was informed that the post’s one and only social event was the annual Pearl Harbor dinner held each year on December 7. They had sold their lodge building a few years earlier and placed the proceeds in an interest-bearing savings account. This being the 70’s, the account was quite profitable, and the dinner was funded from the interest. All veterans were invited to attend, free of charge.

Like most of the other American institutions in the last half of the 20th

Century that required any sort of attendance, the post was held together by the aging World War II veterans in the community who made up the bulk of the membership, and one of them, Hardy Neal Brasfield, a 68-year-old retired postal employee, would always lead the group at the banquet in singing a few Christmas songs, all of the World War II era.

That’s when I heard “Christmas Island” again. It was a tradition, Hardy Neal said, that someone sing “Christmas Island” at the event. How delightful, I thought, but then he began choosing singers. He enlisted the services of two other members, both of them more than a decade older than he, and then, looking around to finish out his quartet, he drafted me, probably because I stood next to him in the tenor section of the choir at the Methodist Church. I know I was the only member of the entire gathering less than 50 years of age who even knew about the song, because I was the only person there under 50.

I didn’t remember all the words, but that didn’t matter too much, because Hardy Neal knew them all, and following his enthusiastic lead, the four of us began thusly:

How’d ya like to spend Christmas,

On Christmas Island?How’d you like to

spend the holidayAway across the sea?That’s most of what

the other three of us knew, but Hardy Neal

enthusiastically soldiered on:

How’d ya like to spend Christmas,

On Christmas Island?How’d you like to hang

a stockingOn a great big coconut

tree?By the third stanza

it was pretty much all Hardy Neal:

How’d ya like to stay up late like the islanders do? Wait for Santa to sail in with your presents in a canoe. If you ever spend Christmas on Christmas Island, you will never stray for every day your Christmas dreams come true.

Today it’s hard to imagine such a song even being written, let alone be enormously popular, but it was, in the late 1940’s. Written in 1946 by a struggling actor you’ve never heard of named Lyle Moraine. He never rose above bit parts in the movies, but he took his song to the Andrews Sisters, who knew a good novelty song when they heard it, so they and Guy Lombardo recorded it. The Sisters were one of the hottest singing groups in the world during the 40’s, selling more than 75 million records at a time much of the country didn’t even have electricity, and “Christmas Island” was one of their biggest hits. I’m like my girls; I love it, and the Andrews Sisters’ version is the best one of all.

But tonight I’m wishing I could hear Hardy Neal sing it one more time.

Christmas Island

Christmas has never really been about the gifts. With the constant bombardment of television ads and Internet deals we get hit with for the holiday season, it’s a little hard to believe that sometimes.

The meaning of Christmas however is just as open ended and person dependent as the meaning of life, or notion of what makes the perfect last meal. There’s no right or wrong answer really. Yet, I would venture that the idea of receiving gifts is a bit too shallow to be considered a true theory to what Christmas is really about. The opportunity to give however is another lovely different ball game.

I love getting gifts for family and friends, and honestly if were one of these proposes one percenters I hear so much

about from protestors and the media, I’d spend everyday getting my loved ones the perfect gifts.

Before you choose to picket the office, please realize that was just a joke by the way. I was raised with enough sense to know that being a part of the haves does include helping the have nots, not because it makes you look good in the face of others, but because well, just because. Why not? If you were at your lowest, wouldn’t you want some help? I just haven’t exactly won the lottery or been granted an opportunity to compete on “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?”

Anyway, the point of this column is that I wanted to ask Brownsville and Haywood County what is the perfect gift?

Is it something you’ve

received already? Or is it an item that for years you’ve hinted to those closest around you, but have come up empty handed every year? I want you to seriously, take the time and think about it. And if you happen to find me out and about in the area or just randomly bump into me, please, feel free to tell me. I’m curious to know.

The Perfect Gift

One of the great joys of the Christmas season is the opportunity to enjoy so many of our favorite Christmas songs and to watch our favorite Christmas shows as well as taking in as many of the festivities as possible.

As a child, I remember experiencing all the excitement of the coming Christmas season. My only concern back then seemed to be whether or not Ole Santa would make his way to Stogam Bottom. There always seemed to be those who enjoyed antagonizing us younger folks and leading us to believe that Santa, even with Rudolph and his red nosed reindeer, would not be able to find where we lived. But somehow, he always did. Santa’s visit always brought us a lot of joy that contributed greatly to a happy and joyful Christmas.

Christmas was also a time when families made every effort to come together. Sometimes that was the only time of the year when all family members would be together under the same roof at the same time.

These were just a few of the many reasons that Christmas is “the most wonderful time of the year.”

The innocence of youth, the love of family and

friends and a small world environment seemed to protect us from much of life’s adversities in our own little corner of the world.

My, how things do change!

Not all Christmas seasons are merry and bright for everyone. Tragedy and loss have a way of barging into our lives.

While we pray for a white Christmas, some will experience a blue Christmas.

As a radio disc jockey, I hosted an all request show at most of the stations where I was employed. One of the most requested songs during the Christmas season was Blue Christmas performed by several different artists.

The song was written by Billy Hayes and Jay W. Johnson and first recorded by Doye O’Dell in 1948. Country artist Earnest Tubb, bandleader HugoWinterhalter and his band and big band leader Russ Morgan were among the first major artist to record the song.

Tubb’s version went to the top of the Billboard Magazine chart the first week of January, 1950.

Its fan base increased greatly when Elvis Presley recorded the song in 1964.

I often wondered why

this song was so popular with the radio audiences. I suppose so many people could relate to a broken relationship that seemed to become more painful to endure at Christmas time.

However, the pain of a broken relationship can in no way compare to the tragedies that affect so many lives.

There are those in our midst who are busy looking for work, trying to provide for the well being of their families and burying their loved ones.

Some parents are busy seeking gifts and preparing favorite meals for their children while others are making burial plans for their children.

Some children are all excited about going home to spend Christmas with their parents while others are making plans to bury theirs.

As we continue to make our Christmas plans, let us include those whose loss cannot be replaced by gifts and material things.

This Christmas, let us strive to take all the “Blue” we can out of Christmas and spread the peace of God throughout the world and goodwill to all humankind.

A Blue Christmas for many

Weekly Devotional

50 Boyd Avenue

784-7430

“God is good…all the time.” Most people don’t realize that this is the most frightening truth in Scripture. God is truly good, all the time. Because God is perfect and cannot be otherwise, we have a serious problem. IF God is good ALL the time, how can He overlook the smallest sin, though it may seem insignifi cant to us. Any judge who lets criminals go free is NOT good. But, God is good…ALL the time. God’s goodness, which most people think will save them in the end is the very thing that will condemn them. It is truly terrifying to think of

a God who always judges perfectly. So how can a perfect judge, condemn sin perfectly and still let the sinner go free…“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel” (Isa. 7:14) … and “He shall save his people from their sins.” (Matt. 1:21).

Allen NewsWe had a great day at

Allen on Sunday. Our son Jason and his wife, Amber, and son Julian joined us for the services on Sunday morning, along with Andrew, Alicia, Claire and Will. Julian sang our special music and he did a wonderful job. I am so proud of him. We had lunch together afterwards, and he headed back to College Hill to sing in the final Kincaid/Gooch presentation of the Christmas 2011 season.

We were also happy to have Baker, Laura, Walker and Amelia Moore visiting with us on Sunday morning. They enjoyed lunch with Laura’s mother, Mary Jane Williams, afterwards.

Sunday afternoon, Pam Russell and Christy Smith entertained with a lovely “Sip and See” for their new grandsons, Will Russell and Vin Bell. (Will is also my grandson, so I had an especially vested interest) Pam’s beautiful home was

wonderfully decorated for the Christmas season and everything was so nice. Sampling the delicious array of food and drink, visiting with friends and checking out the new babies afforded a delightful addition to the Christmas season.

Sunday evening, the Children’s Choir presented their Christmas program at Allen. All of the children did an excellent job, and we thank them and their leaders for their hard work. The children enjoyed celebrating Jesus’ birth afterwards in the family life center.

Allen Adult Choir will present their Christmas Cantata on Sunday morning, December 18 at 10:45 a.m. Everyone is invited to attend.

We so enjoyed the Christmas presentation of Kincaid/Gooch Voice Studio. Brownsville is so fortunate to be the venue for such a remarkable show. Over 200 area children and young people entertained with

songs of the season throughout the weekend. My grandson Julian and my granddaughter Emily were part of the cast and sang solos on Friday evening. We are so proud of them. Thanks to Gary and Deby Gooch for another great show.

Happy Birthday to Mrs. Carolyn Lovelace, Brother Phil Lovelace, Mrs. Ann Kail, Ray Waldon and Eli Essary.

Happy Anniversary to Nancy and Poodle Cates and Martha and Hal Rodgers.

On our prayer list are Pat Stewart, Ray Poole, Jim Stephenson, Martha Crutcher, Mary Ann Reece, Carolyn Danley and the Jeff Watson family.

Our Bible verse for this week is Proverbs 17:6, which states, “Grandchildren are the crown of the elderly.”

If you have news or prayer requests, please contact me at [email protected].

Have a blessed week.

Stanton NewsBy Debbie Sterbinsky

Stanton NewsDespite several funerals

in and around Stanton this past weekend, our Stanton Christmas parade went very well. Several entries and our PA system fell through at the last minute, but we still had a good showing of participation. We were able to use Constable Dan Groh’s car to announce the winners!

Sometimes you just use what you have and things somehow work out. About 200 people came out to watch the parade. Two vendors were busily barbequing and I didn’t manage to get a taste of either one!

Christmas is almost upon us; please remember to leave your vehicles LOCKED for your safety and to protect your belongings! We all know crime increases around the holidays.

One entry in our parade was for the West Tennessee Cemetery Research Team, using a hearse for those of the crew who could ride. Most of the crew was either working the parade, in other parade vehicles or unable to make it. This team originated in April 2011 right here

in Stanton. We’ve had several inquiries since the parade as to what we do. Maybe I can answer a few questions here. We basically locate, record, research, try to restore if possible and file with the state any and all information we can muster up, including our observations. We have awesome members, all of which are excellent researchers, plus each member specializes in different areas, all of which are incredible!

Members of our volunteer team are shown on our West Tennessee Cemetery Research Team Facebook page, which began as START – Stanton Tennessee Area Research Team until we realized our team included researchers from other areas of Tennessee. We then changed our name to reflect that fact more appropriately. We have pages of unexplored cemeteries we need to check out and not all of them are inside Haywood County. Right now the team is working on the Chote Cemetery here in Stanton. Research shows that this cemetery has not always belonged to

Adams Chapel as it was the main slave cemetery here in Stanton prior to the sale of the cemetery to Adams Chapel. The cemetery is located inside an area that was once called “Chota”, the slave quarters in Stanton back before the Civil War. Most Stanton residents can trace their lineage to someone buried in this cemetery. We believe this cemetery deserves some recognition and plan to make that happen!

I could go on and on, but I’ll just give you one last interesting tidbit. Our main “scout” has located an old cemetery containing the ancestors of the most beautiful Vanessa Williams, not far from Stanton.

Residents and former residents of Stanton, you may mail Stanton news to me at P.O. Box 181, Stanton, TN 38069, reach me at the Stanton Welcome Center/Library at 731-548-2564, or e-mail me at: [email protected]. Please put “Stanton News” in the subject line. Together we will look at the past, look toward the future and report current events.

Although our hearts are saddened with so many losses recently, we need to stop and count our blessings! As we approach this Christmas season, there’s no gift more valuable or lasting than the gift of Jesus!

Dr. Bob Agee shared a story to those at Zion Baptist Church Sunday morning about a jar of candy that started his love affair of Jesus. With Matthew, Luke and John bearing the story of Jesus’ birth, he chose John as his main text. “Behold your Creator”!

We enjoyed a brief visit from Donnie and Bessie Elrod Sunday afternoon. They had visited with Olivia Watson and stopped by on their way back to Church. Donnie remodeled the inside of our “Mulligan’s” to make it into our home, which we are still working on.

The children’s Christmas musical was presented Sunday night with a fantastic crowd attending. Following the program everyone enjoyed food and fellowship in the family life center. Thanks to Norma Austin, Reese Ferrell and Sherry Tritt for pulling it all together. Special thanks to all the parents and children for participating and many others too numerous to mention.

We began our week with a death in the family (J.W. Freels) and ended our week with another death (Jeff Watson). Also, the news of a dear friend Brother Butch, from Harmony being in the hospital was terrible. However, Brother Westover is home and doing much better, and thanks to all the prayers, our family is recuperating.

Wednesday night the movie of Esther began as a follow-up to the recent Bible study that Brother Mark started and Brother Allen Outlaw finished. Prayer meeting followed.

Thanks to Rex Barnes for the prayer breakfast

report. He said there were 10 present and Bill Kendrick led the devotion. Anyone interested in joining this faithful group of men, come to Zion’s family life center every Thursday morning at six.

Norma Austin had all six of her grandchildren spend the night with her Friday night. Jimmy and I visited with the Butterworth’s and saw their beautiful 12-foot tree. Leah gave us ornaments for our tree and Taylor graciously took down rope lights that we had left. So far, they still love Dr. Hess Road.

Don’t forget December dates! Benefit for Stephanie Travis’ family on the 16th at Christ Church at 5:30 p.m.

Zion’s adult Christmas

cantata will be presented the 18th at the 11 o’clock service. There will be one 10 o’clock service on Christmas Day, with no breakfast and no Sunday school.

January 16th is the new date for our Discipleship Rally that was cancelled due to snow. Dr. David Dockery has agreed to come and the program will resume in honor of Brother Mark Conway, except the Christmas Carols of course.

Pray for those who are sick, our military personnel and their families, the shut-ins, those who have lost loved ones and the leaders of our country.

Call me at 772-4257 if you have news or email me at [email protected]. People want to know!

The Fellowship Group did not meet last week. We enjoyed the snow.

Douglass Chapel C.M.E. Church, pastor Humphrey and members were hosts to the Northwest District meeting on Saturday, December 11, 2011. Rev. Fred Powell Jr., local preacher at Douglass, delivered the morning meditation, which came from Psalms 119:5-16 using “Spiritual Traffic Signals” as the subject. Excerpts are what we should use for protection, correction and direction. They are words from God. One must be willing to stop at the red light, otherwise you’ll continue to lust, envy and have self pride. The yellow light cautions us of hazards, be prepared to yield. And lastly the green light is the word of God, which allows us

to move forward to the destination Christians seek, eternal life unto God. Read the scriptures and become aware of the signals.

After the inspiring message, Rev. Powell was informed by Presiding Elder Ore L. Spragin Jr. that he was assigned Pastor of St. James C.M.E. Church in Henning. This was a happy occasion, but a sad one for the congregation at Douglass Chapel, where he served as Sunday school teacher and many other areas of the church. Rev. Powell would certainly welcome God’s children to come and visit, especially his fellow C.M.E.’s.

At Dancyville, we welcome Rev. Elaine Crittenden, pastor of Dickerson Chapel C.M.E. Church as our morning speaker with a very inspiring message. Pastor

Doris Lewis was out of town on business.

Celebrating birthdays this month is Willie Dancy (12-11); Mario Lloyd and Darren Douglas (12-12); Terehana Jelks (12-13); Marcha Franklin (12-15); James Rivers Jr. (12-16); Callie Langford (12-25) and Pastor Doris Lewis (12-29). May each and every one remember each day is a blessing from the Lord.

Our prayer list this week includes: Hattie Watkins, Callie Brooks, Callie Langford, Edward Vaulx Jr., Betty Douglas, Gladys Bowles, Betty Brooks, Jimmie L. Turner, Shirley Hunter, Luevenia Boyd, Joe B. Lewis, Pastor Shirley Richmond, Jackson Rice, Mary Greer, Emma Miller, Rev. J.V. Carney, Marie Browning, Ora L. Mann, Kizzie Boyd and John Jones.

Thank you volunteers for coming this week: Christ Temple ladies, Douglas Chapel CME Church, First Assembly of God Church ladies, Westside Church of Christ, Russell Grove Baptist Church, Mrs. Ann Nuckolls, Mrs. Mary Barkens, Bingo ladies, Peaceful Chapel Missionary Baptist Church, Haywood High School Choir and First United Methodist Church.

The Whitings (James and Tammy) from Nashville came on Wednesday and sang Christmas songs, as well as jazz music. Many of our patients enjoyed listening to them.

We had a good time making cookies and

letting the patients decorate them with the Christmas colors. They all enjoyed this and especially eating them.

Our sympathy goes to the family of Mr. Sam Stam; he is truly missed.

We welcome Mr. Davis Simmons to our facility and hope he enjoys his stay with us.

Thank you to Kenneth and Beth Sargent for the cash memorial they gave toward our patients Christmas gifts in memory of: Will Allen Parks, Sonny Kendrick, Jessie Kendrick and Howard Sargent.

Thank you also to St. John’s Baptist Church for the bananas and goodie bags they brought and delivered to each patient’s room.

Congratulations to Tameka White for our Employee of the Year.

Also, congratulations to Lela Wilson for 25 years of service; Gloria Hayes, Betty Lester, Donna Lovell, Mary Ragland and Sharon Reed for 30 years of service. They all received an award for their service from Tennessee Health Management.

Barbara Brooks, LPN, was one of the top three with Service Excellent Program to receive an Exceptional Nurse Award. Congratulations, Barbara! We are certainly proud of you!

Thought for the Week: “ Laughter is the only tranquilizer with no side effects.”

I’m back and feeling much better. Thanks for all the phone calls, cards, food and especially the prayers. Sometimes we need some recharging and a few days of pampering. Patricia Herron has also been recovering at home from outpatient surgery for the past few weeks.

Last Sunday, Patricia Herron, Ruthie Lewis and Dede Kendrick attended the funeral in Alamo for their cousin, David Harmon Dungan Jr., age 45. David passed away due to injuries received in a 4-wheeler accident two weeks ago in Gadsden. We extend our sympathy to the families.

We have some birthdays for December. Kenneth Sargent, 12-1; Katie Lewis, 12-2; Jesse Scott, 12-4; Andrew Scott, 12-

17 and Greg Harwell, 12-11. Happy birthday everyone!

My granddaughter, Hollie, came and decorated my house last week and I really appreciate her doing that. It helped to get me in the holiday spirit. Methodist Men and Women met last Tuesday night at Zion Methodist Church and celebrated their Christmas together. Nancy White made a coconut cake and boiled custard. Wish I could have been there. Bethel Community Church will have their Christmas program Sunday, December 18 at 5 p.m. Finger foods will be served.

The Christmas parade was held in Brownsville last Saturday night and was enjoyed by everyone. I heard that

there is a house out on Coburn Road that has over 17,000 lights on it. Hate to pay their utility bill. If you want to do something good for someone at Christmas, go and visit Crestview Nursing Home. Some people there don’t have family and would really enjoy a visit. One day you or I might be there.

I would like to extend my sympathy to the family of Vickie Williams, one of our correspondents. Vickie’s brother, Jeff Watson, passed away last Saturday at his home. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. Thought for the week: “I am the light of the world, he that follows me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life.”

“The Road to Bethlehem,” a musical and dramatic production of Christmas, was presented at Holly Grove Church Sunday and was directed by Brother Ralph Brown, narrated by Rebekah Hopper and coordinated by Joy O’Neal. It featured solos by Kathy Hopper, Ann Faulkner and Kathy McClinton and a duet by Danny and Brenda Simpson. Elaine Brown did a great job with costumes for Joseph and Mary, the wisemen, shepherd, the innkeeper and the angels. The church honored Brother Ralph Brown on his fifth year anniversary at Holly Grove, and the pastor presented to him a monetary gift from the church. Next Sunday night, there will be a candlelight service.

Happy birthday to Taylor and Brad Booth, Linda Lovelace, Sharon Fisher, Stephen Thomas and Darlene Ferrell.

The deacons and their wives from Holly Grove Church, Brother Fred and Nancy Campbell, Brother Ralph and Elaine Brown and Greg and Beth Baker celebrated the Christmas season with James and Judy Lewis last Friday night at their home in Wellwood. The road down the middle of Wellwood was the first road in Haywood County, call the Stage Coach Road, this was in 1821. Years later, a brick street replaced the dirt road, today it is blacktopped.

Alan and Debbie Jones and Jennifer and Dewey, Martha and Lorie Jones were among those celebrating Christmas with the Woodmen of the World at a local restaurant last Thursday night. Jerry Myers, the president of the Brownsville camp was unable to be there. His wife Annalee is seriously ill. We need to remember this fine couple in our prayers.

To be sick around Christmas is difficult on those sick and their families. The list this week includes Viola Brown, Ruth Taylor, Glenn White, Ted Mann, Justin Climer, Ray and Janie Hight and Steve Sullivan. Also include Rex Bond, Elvin Wells and Lucion English.

The senior adults from Holly Grove Church enjoyed themselves last Saturday at the beautiful camp house of Robert and Betty Barden near Hatchie River. After a delicious buffet meal together, Betty Doyle greeted everyone, Greg Baker told of the significance of the candy cane and how it related to

Jesus, and Brad Sargent and Kay Hutchinson sang lots of our favorite Christmas songs.

We have heard a lot recently about some wanting to call the Christmas tree a holiday tree. A little 8-year-old boy, hearing some adults discussing this, corrected that assumption by saying, “We decorate the tree at Christmas, it has to be a Christmas tree.” And, Mr. Brad Sargent wisely said, “Christmas wasn’t started by man, but by God.” God, Himself, came to earth in the form of a baby, born in Bethlehem to provide all of us the gift of salvation if we choose to accept it.

C o n g r a t u l a t i o n s to Aaron and Becky Campbell. They are the happy parents of a baby son, name Titus Aaron. Titus has two older sisters. Brother Fred and Nancy Campbell are the happy grandparents. Also, congratulations to Jamie and Brittney Mathias who are the happy parents of a baby boy, named Michael Earl. Carol Mathias is the proud grandmother.

Wow! The Chamber Christmas Open House was fabulous!! The Show Choir, directed by Michelle Tillman, came and entertained! They were so awesome!! The lobby was packed and the Show Choir voices reverberated off the rafters! What an incredible job these students did! A gigantic “thank you” to ALL who were involved in lending a hand with this popular event (and there were quite a few). After singing, the Chamber Ambassadors provided the singers with pizza and drinks downstairs, while the Chamber Board of Directors (even Pat from Pat’s Fabrics pitched in) entertained the adults in the conference room, (where food overflowed the tables!) The Chamber was excited to share their Christmas with all of you this year! If you didn’t attend… you missed a huge blessing!

Whoa! We have a new Relay for Life Chairman!! What a fabulous announcement to make! Kenny Ellington, of Brownsville Funeral Home, has agreed to fill Ms. Carolyn Flagg’s shoes! He welcomes any help interested in climbing on board. It’s a humongous job, but with everyone pitching in, it will happen! Thank you Kenny!

Congratulations Maggie Gardner! Maggie graduated Cum Laude from UT Martin on Saturday, December 10! Those helping her celebrate

were her parents Samuel and Ann Gardner, her sister Grace and Branon Fergie, grandparents Joe and Sue Stokely, Joe Dan Wooten, her aunt Pam Yarbrough, cousins Adley and Graham Yarbrough and her uncle Tim and Mandy Stokely. Way to go, Maggie! So proud of you!

Sara Massey has been extremely busy lately! She received her nursing degree last weekend and was chosen for a special award by the faculty, for ‘Clinical Excellence given to a student who shows skill and promise in the field of nursing’. Those attending Sara’s graduation- Jack and Nell Fox, Larry and Emily Sweeney, Bradford and Brittany Higgins and Gene and Risa Campbell. Sara also ran the full St. Jude Marathon recently in Memphis. Sara’s husband, Bria teaches fifth grade at Sunny Hill. Congratulations Sara! Hip, Wow! What a fantastic Christmas gift!

The Brownsville Funeral Home held a Christmas Brunch for their employees last Saturday morning. Some ate items they haven’t eaten for years and didn’t even care because it was so scrumptious!

The essence of Tom Lea remains in Brownsville. Customers have gone to his business, which is closing and tried to purchase whatever they could just to have something he created. He has touched so many lives in our town and we are

fully realizing how much we counted on him to make our houses and businesses look absolutely gorgeous! He was a ‘Master’ at designing whatever ambience you wanted or needed. His creative genius, along with the Treasure Chest, will be powerfully missed.

David and Kathy Cook made a momentous trip to Boston and Gloucester, Mass. this past weekend and were accompanied by daughter Rachel and granddaughter Katie, to celebrate son Adam’s engagement to Julie Schrade in Boston. The whole crew also traveled to Gloucester to join family from Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Maryland, Washington D.C. and North Carolina to celebrate David’s mother’s 90th birthday. It was a special treat for Lilma Cook (David’s mother) to have all four of her children, five of her seven grandchildren, her 93 year old sister, and above all, her two great-grandchildren, Katie and Theo there.

Good news! I see Brownsville has been taking advantage of helping the Salvation Army with their bell ringing! I saw Dr. Tommy Russell last week and was so proud! Go Dr. Tommy! Call Andy Wynn to schedule your group! 731-234-5754

Let me hear from you! [email protected] or 780-4111.

Are you ready? Whatever you’re going to do, you better get busy! There’s only about 10 days left before the big day. If you have children I know you’re bustling about, looking for the right kind of doll or a John Deere tractor or transformer or certain kind of game, etc. With four daughters I was ALWAYS looking for a certain doll – like Betsy Wetsy, Chatty Cathy, etc. and whichever one it was, was always SOLD OUT because every other little girl in the world wanted the same one thanks to all the ads on TV. Hope you’re having an easier time.

Wish you could see the beautiful, big trophy sitting on my desk. Sugar Creek won FIRST PLACE for our float in the Brownsville Christmas parade. Hope you got to see it – we thought it quite was appropriate to be named “Sweet Treats.” Had a big bag of Sugar spilling out into a “creek” with lots of candy treats floating down the creek. Is that not just the smartest thing or what? We even had animals beside our float – Tamekia Reid was

a beautiful deer and Patsy Weed was the cutest sock monkey you ever saw. As I’ve said before, all we have to do is tell Patsy Weed what we like and she makes sure we have one. Thanks to ALL the staff who worked on the float and won us this beautiful trophy!

Have had lots of Christmas music for our residents. Sonny Jackson and Don Brimm came from Memphis and entertained Saturday. The Westside Singers from Westside Church of Christ came Sunday. The children’s Music Makers from Brownsville Baptist Church came on Monday. Mary Alice White, our rocking piano player from Jackson came on Thursday, while the world-famous Haywood High Show Choir, under the direction of Michelle Tillman, came Friday. The First Holiness United Christian Women’s Ministry, under the direction of Mary Barkens, came on Saturday the 10th. Rev. Tim McPherson from Poplar Corner Baptist Church brought our message Sunday and our residents went Christmas shopping on Monday.

Our co-teachers of our Tuesday Bible Study, Patricia Simmons and Mary Jane Felker, had a Christmas Party for the residents this week. Patricia Gruenwald read the Christmas story and Janette Pate played Christmas carols for us while we had wonderful refreshments. A very special guest whom we always enjoy seeing was that lovely and fun lady, Frances Mann.

Our love and best wishes are with Virginia Dickinson, Eleanor Rooks and all others who are under the weather. Robert and Carolyn Hughes came by to see how Katherine Hooper is doing. Dora Robison’s sister-in-law from Jackson came to check on her as well.

The Tap Dancing Grannies will be here today and the Woodland Baptist Church and First Presbyterian Church choirs will be here before the week’s over. Thank you so much to each of you who come and brighten our resident’s days. You just can’t imagine what a little of your time means to these wonderful folks of ours.

“But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we were healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the Lord hath laid upon Him the iniquity of us all.’’ -Isaiah 11:6

On Sunday, we celebrated our Annual Pastor and wife Love Day program, it was a great success, Minister Michael Adams of Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Stanton was our most dignified speaker for the occasion, he preached a

beautiful sermon. It was a joyous occasion for all in attendance, 30 years is definitely something to celebrate in these times.

Wille and I celebrated 49 years of marriage on Sunday as well, with all the sickness we’ve both experienced over the years it was most definitely a blessing to see it. Alvin Rogers of St. Louis, MO, a long time friend of the family came to visit my brother, William Gaines, formerly of Leesburg, FL they were so happy to see each other.

Please continue to pray for those that have lost loved ones near and far, I’m so glad that they are

bringing our troops home on that note.

Please continue to pray for our sick and shut-ins: Cynthia Bullock - Transou, Annie Flora Forrest, Emma Lue (Goldie) Graves, Pearl Gray, Mosie Mae Fuller, Sammie Hines, Rex Bond, Glenn White, Rev. J.V. Carney and Walter Frank Chism.

“There is one body and one spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism, one God and Father of all who is above all, and through all and in you all.” -Ephesians 4; 4-6

Change your furnace fi lter. Over time, your furnace fi lter becomes clogged with dust and

dirt. When this happens, your furnace becomes less effi cient, demanding it to run longer to heat your house and increasing your energy bill. A basic furnace fi lter only costs a couple bucks and takes a few minutes to replace.

Haywood freshman Kyler Douglas nailed a 3-pointer with 2:01 left in the third quarter of Tues-day night's District 13-AA game at Dyersburg to push his team's lead to 47-36.

The lead was still sev-en with 5:38 left in the game, but Dyersburg put together a furious rally down the stretch to pull out a dramatic 62-61 win.

With 58 seconds left and the scored tied at 59-59, Dyersburg's Temorel Spain hit a 3-pointer from the left wing to give his team a 62-59 advantage.

Haywood junior Mon-

travious Maclin pulled the Tomcats within one point moments later with a lay-up.

After the Tomcats got a stop, Haywood head coach Kendall Dancy called a timeout with eight seconds left.

Haywood never got off a shot, however, turning the ball over in the lane as time expired.

Maclin, who had a strong game in the paint, finished with 15, as did Sadaris Delk. Tarecus Hughes added eight.

Spain and Blake Parr led the Trojans with 19 points each.

Haywood (6-3 overall, 3-2 district) led 25-14 ear-ly in the second quarter after a basket by Maclin.

In action Friday night at home, the Tomcats picked up a 67-64 district win over Gibson County.

Haywood erased a four-point deficit after one quarter by scoring 26 points in the second pe-riod for a 37-33 halftime lead.

Delk led Haywood with 16 points. Hughes hit three 3-pointers in the first half and finished with 13. Kendall Middle-brooks added 13 for the Tomcats.

Haywood returns to district action Friday night at home against Crockett County and Sat-urday night at Fayette-Ware, the team's last two games until after Christ-mas.

BY JEFF [email protected]

The Lady Tomcats' early-season schedule has been nothing less than brutal.

Over a two-week span, Haywood has played Covington, Obion County, Gibson County, Westview and Dyersburg, the top five teams in the 10-team District 13-AA.

Three of the five games have been on the road and Obion County and Dyersburg have lost just one combined game and are considered two of the state's best teams.

Haywood gave Dyers-burg all it could handle Tuesday night on the road, but took a 59-49 loss to fall to 0-5 in the district and 3-6 overall.

“We knew it was go-ing to be tough,” Hay-wood coach Zandra Jones said after Tuesday's loss, “but you can't change the

schedule. You've got to step up.”

Dyersburg (7-1, 4-1) opened up a 44-31 lead in the closing minutes of the third quarter and ap-peared ready to pull away, but Haywood had other ideas.

Behind baskets from Ida Parrish and Chelsea Owens and a 3-point play from Jalise Bell, Haywood cut the lead to five points with 3:05 left.

But Dyersburg respond-ed with a 7-0 run to seal the win.

Owens led Haywood with 16 points. Bell added 12 and Parrish finished with 10.

Bell scored the first bas-ket of the second half to pull Haywood within four points at 26-22.

K. K. Tate, who led Dy-ersburg with 21 points, converted a 3-point play with 2:55 left in the third quarter to put her team

ahead 38-28 for Dyers-burg's first double-digit lead of the game.

Madison Butler hit a pair of 3-pointers for Dy-ersburg in the first quar-ter and finished with nine points.

Jones said her team has the potential to beat the district opponents that they will face again in Jan-uary and February.

“We need to work on some things,” Jones said. “Free throws, defense and decision making. Put those things together and we'll be better. We'll see these teams again. We'll be better and they will be better.”

The Lady Tomcats fell at home to Gibson County on Friday, 48-41.

Haywood led 34-33 after three quarters before the Lady Pioneers rallied late.

Parrish and Owens led Haywood with 11 points each and Kayla Cunnning-

ham added eight. Khadijah Alexander led

Gibson County with 15 points.

Haywood returns to dis-trict action Friday at home against winless Crock-ett County. On Saturday

night the Lady Tomcats play at Fayette-Ware in a non-district game.

Lady Tomcats' schedule has been challenging

An all-star line-up of SYS Youth and Junior High Football players in Haywood County gathered at the Brownsville YMCA, Tuesday, November 22 to ready themselves for a national tournament.

The young players, pictured, traveled to Atlanta the following day to participate in the Youth Sports Turkey Day

Classic. The roster of 16 players

was together for the first time, practicing for only two weeks before the big game. Although Head Coach Rodney Clark noted that the team looked good at practice.

“They’ve got the physical, it’s a just a matter of putting it all together.”
