The Haywood County Parks and Recreation Department held a special event last Friday, June 10 celebrating their acquirement of a new grant.

The National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) gave the Haywood County Parks and Recreation Department a $25,000 grant to help with their summer food program.

“This is a grant that was actually made possible though

the Walmart foundation, which has supported NRPA for a number of years,” James O’Conner, NRPA Senior Manager Corporate Grants said.

The grant is meant to help provide nutritional meals to children throughout the summer, O’Conner said. With approximately 100 applications submitted from all over the state to NRPA, only 15 were selected, including Haywood County.

Perhaps anyone that has spent time in Haywood County can quickly tell that high school football is a big event in the community.

Proof of this can be found at a Tomcat’s game, where one will fi nd stands fi lled with parents, students and just general fans of the sport, donned in purple and white. And then of course, there’s history to consider.

Haywood County High School will be entering its 100th year of Tomcat football once the season kicks off in August. This time, guided by newly acquired Coach Slade Calhoun, the Tomcats are hoping to add to their 609-win record, contributing more to the school’s football history.

The 100 Year Anniversary Committee—headed by Chairman Dr. Robert Rooks

and Vice Chairman Gordon Perry—decided to contribute more to the school’s history recently by moving and restoring an important sign.

The purple colored structure, adorned with numerous leaves, a Tomcat silhouette and the name of the fi eld, is 50 years old.

Previously placed at the front of the fi eld gate, it served as an entrance for ticket buyers.

Yet as time moved on, people began buying their tickets in the concession building, which may have caused the sign to become lost in most people’s minds, 100 Year Anniversary Committee member Greg Vanstory said.

“We thought it was a good idea for us to move it because we didn’t want it to become lost in people’s minds,” Vanstory said. “That sign is a representation of our proud

TVA held a special dedication ceremony for its Lagoon Creek Combustion Turbine Plant last Thursday, April 9.

Built in 2001, the plant technically began operating last fall, but Thursday’s dedication moved the 550-megawatt plant’s status from construction project to fully operational power plant.

The plant employs 30 staff members and strengthens the western portion of the TVA power grid, including Mississippi and Memphis.

The new plant is said by TVA Vice President of New

Unit Services Tim Hope, to not only compliment the single combustion plant also located at Lagoon Creek, but will make both run much more effi ciently.

“A combined cycle plant can produce 50 percent more power with about half as much fuel.”

“The good thing about a combined cycle is that it’s used typically during the daytime hours, and typically the daytime hours are the highest demand for electricity and the highest cost for electricity,” Hope continued. “So what that does for TVA is it allows us to produce power without

having to provide additional expensive power.”

Much like a single cycle combustion plant, the combined cycle runs like a jet engine, creating heat from the combustion of natural gas that turns a gas turbine, which is linked to an electricity creating generator, Hope noted. The combined cycle, however, captures heat from the turbines’ exhaust to boil water and produce steam. This process turns a steam turbine, which is linked to a generator that produces electricity.

After construction, the plant cost a total of $445 million,

The Brownsville City Board of Mayor and Aldermen met during their annual monthly meeting at city hall Tuesday June 11.

The board tackled numerous ordinances, including the fi rst reading of the city budget following a special work session last Wednesday June 8.

So far, the budget will not have a property tax increase and will remain at $1.80 per $100 of assessed value on all real and personal property. And most city departments will be funded very close to previous year’s levels.

The 2011-2012 budget also proposes a two percent raise for city employees, and a potential additional one percent merit raise at the discretion of department heads, as well as a Christmas bonus.

Property tax revenues are expected to be higher this year, while sales tax revenue lower. Last year, the property tax revenue was $2,934,486 while this year it’s $3,066,395. The local sales tax revenue last year was $1,562,423 and this year it’s $1,318,900.

The budget also anticipates a 32 percent increase in gasoline costs for city government for the upcoming year, funding for the replacement of three police cars and city utilities across Interstate-40.

Overall, there is an approximate $100,000 plus increase with this year’s budget compared to last fi scal year.

Last year’s total budget was $12,299,211.

A public reading on the budget will take place during next month’s board meeting July 12.

In other board news, the city is hoping to establish impound lot regulations and fees on seized or abandoned vehicles. Ordinance #885 passed its fi rst reading, which will allow the city to do so. According to the ordinance, “the fee for impounding a vehicle shall be equal to the fee charged by the wrecker service who tows the vehicle. The storage cost of the impounded vehicle shall be $25 per day for each motor vehicle stored in the impoundment lot.

The board also passed an ordinance that will allow the city to regulate soliciting and peddling. Peddlers hoping to sell their goods in the city will have to pay an application fee of $75, which will permit to sell for 14 days.

And the city also voted to ratify the Haywood County Growth Plan, fi nding no confl icts with their own growth boundary plans.

Other than the budget and few ordinances, the hot topic on everyone’s minds was the new trash pick up system for the city.

Last month, the city implemented a plan where trash pick-up would be concentrated by Wards. For example, trash pick-up would start in Ward 1 for week one and continue in that order.

-With the economy in its dismal state, O’Conner realizes the importance of the NRPA grant, he said.

“There are lots of kids out there that are not receiving the healthy meals they need this summer,” O’Conner said. “And this grant is really designed to take it to the next level. It can increase the number of kids that can have access to these healthy meals.”

According to Haywood County Parks and Recreation Director

Nancy Cates, the grant has already been put to use. Cates noted that although the grant could not be used to purchase food, the department has used it for marketing, hiring new employees, building picnic tables and purchasing backpacks to be given away during the upcoming Kid’s Day.

The grant has helped greatly, given the increase in children who have signed up for their Summer Food Program compared to last year.

Last year, parks and recreation had 32 children sign up and provided 26,282 meals. This year, the program has 62 children and expected to easily top 50,000 plus meals.

Cates also added that not only will she reapply for the grant next year, but may be aiming for more.

“I told Jimmy (O’Conner) that next year, I’m going for the big bucks,” Cates said.

Grant Continued

-Hope said.And it hasn’t been without its

obstacles.On the road to being fully

operational, the plant had to deal with the 2009 May fl ood, which took out 100 work days, Hope said. The plant also had to deal with the discovery of a family cemetery with 27 graves.

Despite the obstacles, Hope remained ecstatic over completion of the plant, and how it fi ts into TVA’s plans to replace their older, coal-fi red units with natural gas generated power. They are currently set to add 2,000 megawatts of natural gas-fueled generation, Hope noted.

The plant has already managed to impress numerous state offi cials, including Congressman

Stephen Fincher, who believes that the plant represents two items the country needs to focus on in order to progress: jobs and energy independence.

“This starts and stops with creating jobs and being energy independent,” Fincher said. “We have got to transition ourselves from buying all of our energy needs from people that may not like us too well. This is a prime example of how we can do that.”

Those that have called TVA a neighbor for decades were left impressed on how much the power fi rm has grown in the county.

“Little did we know that in the 60’s, when natural gas lines were being constructed all across Haywood County, that one day in the future we would actually

benefi t from these natural gas lines and the electric transmission lines; we would have power plants in Haywood County,” County Mayor Franklin Smith said.

TVA is the largest taxpayer in the county, Smith added, noting that they’ve paid approximately $300,000 annually in taxes. They’ve also contributed half a million dollars in impact fees to the county.

Hope described the relationship between Haywood County and TVA as a good one.

“They have bent over backwards, and we have worked closely with them on a number of issues,” he said. “And it’s been a very good relationship. Franklin Smith has been very good to work with and helped us every time.”

Sign Continued

history.”Its new location is placed right

at the entrance of the home side stands, making it perhaps hard to miss, especially considering its restoration.

Yet while the cosmetic changes are an improvement, they actually occurred thanks to Mother Nature’s intervention.

“These last strong line winds that hit the area just knocked it down and shattered it,” Vanstory recalled. “I just remember thinking ‘this is just awful.’”

Thanks to a community effort, few would even be able to tell that the sign incurred any damage.

Residents Mark and Cory Killen performed welding work for weeks after work. Ricky Walker and Willy Maybond worked on the painting.

Tommy Waddell and Nancy Cates along with the Parks And Recreation Department helped with moving the sign to its current location.

And the city helped with cement work thanks to Bobby Mayer Public

Works Director’s department.With support from city mayor Jo

Matherne and Haywood County Schools Superintendent, Marlon King, the sign’s future is looking bright. For example, there are plans to install a concrete bench below the sign, which would be perfect for photo opportunities, Vanstory said.

In the meantime, residents can get the chance to view it tomorrow during the annual Relay For Life event, which starts at 5:30 p.m. at the fi eld.

TVA ContinuedThe Aldermen voiced their concerns on the new

system, noting that they’ve received numerous calls on the subject from residents.

“I had more calls on trash than on a tax increase,” Alderman John Simmons said.

Public Works Director Bobby Mayer pointed out that adjustment to the new system for both employees and residents, as well as the recent string of storms that hit contributed to the new system not working as well as initially hoped.

And while the mayor remained open to any suggestions for trash pick-up, she also believes that the city’s previous system is still too ineffi cient and costly.

“The system that we were running may not be broken, but it is seriously injured. It’s running into the defi cit,” Matherne said.

So, I’m in the men’s clothing area of a large department store over the weekend, and I notice a big Father’s Day poster. It is a picture of a young, 30ish looking man walking along with a small boy, he’s about four-years-old.

The kid looks like any normal boy, but his dad’s appearance caught my attention. He was dressed up, sort of, but he really looked like a caricature of someone dressing up. He had on a pair of slacks and a shirt and tie, but the ad men, or women, had done their best to make him look sloppy in spite of that. His pants were too large, and his belt was about two inches lower than his waist. The shirt was oversized too, very baggy, and his tie was loosened, so that the knot was about three inches below his neck. He was sporting a hairdo and geek glasses that would have made PeeWee Herman proud. As a matter of fact, he looked like he could have been PeeWee’s taller brother.

“What,” I asked myself as I stared at it, “am I supposed to think about that ad?” Is the message, “Even creepy guys can be good dads?” or maybe it’s, “Don’t worry about how stupid and effeminate our new

summer line looks. This is what modern men are supposed to wear. Just buy them!”

At any rate, the Father’s Day reminder turned my thoughts to my own father. I can just see what his reaction would have been. He’d probably have made some remark about American culture having fi nally reached the bottom of the barrel.

And he’d be right, of course, not that a goofy looking fashion is a sign of decline, but maybe it is an indicator of other problems. We have declined, in all sorts of ways, and not just sartorially. Nowhere is it more obvious than in the endangered state of men and fathers these days. This becomes really obvious when you compare today’s men with those of my father’s generation.

Start with competence. I can’t do half the things my father could, and I can do a lot more than most of the current generation of young men.

My father could do basic plumbing, wiring and carpentry. When I was a boy, my mother talked him into adding a second bathroom to the house. He built it himself. He laid the bricks for the foundation; he plumbed and wired it. He did all the carpentry and roofed it, and then he hung the wallpaper inside. He also laid the linoleum fl oor covering, all without help.

He was not a carpenter or an electrician or a plumber, but he knew how to do all those things because he was an American man. And that’s what American men did back then.

And he worked, all the time. For most of my life he held two jobs. (How else could you send six kids to college in the days before student loans and grants?) In spite of this, he also kept our three and a quarter acre “farm” in a perpetual state of neatness and productivity. At various times when I was growing up, we had a cow, raised chickens and had an orchard of 73 peach and 27 apple trees.

He also grew a tobacco crop every year (for Christmas money), and raised tomato and pepper plants to sell in the spring. Work, to him, was a moral obligation, regardless of what kind of work it was. “If the work lends you no

dignity,” I heard him say a thousand times, “lend dignity to the work.”

There was only one way I knew of to make him stop working, and that was to ask him to play catch with me. Whether it was baseball or football, he would always stop and throw the ball back and forth, usually until Mother called us in for supper.

He was honest, he never swore or told off color jokes and he always dressed appropriately for what he was doing. He never entered church or a funeral home without a suit and tie, and his dress shoes were always shined. He never left the house without a hat, and he never entered a building without taking it off.

I never saw him talk down to, or disrespectfully, to any person, regardless of his or her station, and the quickest way I could get into trouble was for him to catch me doing so.

Although, not a religious or an educated man in the conventional sense of the term, he had such a familiarity with the scriptures and the classics that I have never met anyone who could match him. Hardly a day ever went by without his conversation being sprinkled with one or more classical or Biblical references, although, most of them went far over my head at the time.

Was he really that special? No, for the times in which he lived, he was pretty ordinary. If you are the age most readers of this column seem to be, you probably had a dad pretty much like him.

That’s what his generation did, it’s what they were. Their country and their kids counted on them and they came through. They kept the culture alive, passed it down to their sons and daughters and preserved Western Civilization in the process.

Today, alas, we have a generation that seems bent on running away from and destroying Western Civilization, and tragically, they are succeeding.

My father, and the men who shared his generation, wouldn’t have tolerated that. Not for a single second.

Too bad their sons didn’t turn out to be more like them.

Father’s Day

A week before Flag Day that was observed this past Tuesday, a story appeared in the Associated Press stating that The National Anthem would no longer be performed before sporting events at Goshen College in Indiana. According to the story, the college is “nixing” The National Anthem in response to recent complaints that the anthem glorifi es war. The school’s board of directors has claimed that they still want to honor the nation, but in a way that’s consistent with the school’s pacifi st message. The story also stated the board of directors as telling college president, Jim Brenneman, to fi nd an alternative.

While reviewing once more the lyrics to the song, there was no indication, in my opinion, that war was glorifi ed. In fact, there is little mention of war activities in the fi rst verse other than the rockets’ red glare and the bombs bursting in air that gave proof through the night the American Flag was still fl ying over Fort McHenry.

Just thinking about the decision made by this college regarding The National Anthem made my patriotic blood boil while trying to imagine just who these folks were and what led to their decision.Were they some kind of radical anti-Americans who were out to take on patriotism by bringing down Old Glory, or were they publicity hounds

just trying to get attention from the mainstream media?

Since I didn’t know anything about Goshen College, it was time to fi nd out. My research quickly revealed that Goshen College is a liberal arts college with an enrollment of about a thousand students located in Goshen, Indiana. The college is affi liated with the Mennonite Church, a longtime advocate of pacifi sm. Pacifi sts believe that violence, war and the taking of lives are unacceptable ways of resolving disputes.

They also refuse to take up arms or participate in wars because of moral and religious beliefs. However, many have served in the military during wartime serving in medical units or attached to other special services. Most pacifi sts hold to the belief that international confl icts should be settled by negotiation rather than war.

Steve Nolt, a professor of Mennonite history at Goshon College, told the Chicago Times in an article published June 11, 2011, that “Mennonites are grateful for the privileges that exist in the United States and are not un-American. We support the country, but we don’t think the only way you can express patriotism is through the military.”

In my experience with the Mennonite people, I have found that they place strong

emphasis on issues such as peace and justice, simplicity, community service and medical aid. They have been good citizens who practice their faith as well as anyone. Their stance regarding war is nothing new. They practiced their beliefs long before coming to America.

While I respect their right to live by the moral and religious convictions of their faith, I have a few questions regarding diplomacy and war. I, too, believe in strong efforts toward peaceful negotiations.

But what happens when all such negotiations fail?Where would America be today had not the colonists taken on the British when negotiations failed leading to the Revolutionary War?

Should we have remained silent while Nazi Germany continued its goal of total annihilation of the Jewish race?

The bombing of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, by the Japanese on December 7, 1941, serves as another reminder of how negotiations are not always honored in good faith. When our troops stationed in Hawaii went to bed on the night of December 6, 1941, they, along with all the others back home, were perhaps still celebrating what was believed to be a peaceful solution between the U.S. and Japan.

But the sunken ships and the watery graves beg to differ.

The National Anthem takes a hit

Sympathy to the family of Mrs. Syble Bushart, Ms. Minnie Thomas and Mr. Jimmy Jones in the loss of their loved ones.

“When God forgives our sin, it is gone forever.” This is our closing Thought for the Week as published in the Upper Room Devotional by Frankie Melton Jr. of South Carolina. Frankie writes about living in an apartment for a few years and how he and his wife sympathized with the family living below them. They made every effort to tiptoe and be cautious out of courtesy to them, so when they moved to a house, they continued to be quiet and realized that no one lived below them anymore. This is the way we live in regard to our sin. Christ is faithful to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Unfortunately, even after we are forgiven, we sometimes live as if forgiveness never occurred. This is just as silly as living as if we have neighbors below us when we do not. God is trustworthy and when we ask for forgiveness, God gives it.

If you have news to share, please call me at 772-1885 after 5 p.m.

Until next week, God Bless.

I remember when my mother would say “Eat all on your plate!” and “Do not waste food because there are people in poorer countries that don’t have any!” In the June issue of University of Tennessee Extension Animal Science Update, Beef Professor, Jim Neel, reports about a study found in Feedstuffs Foodlink (June 6, 2011), that would make momma very upset.

This new study on food loss and food waste

suggests that roughly one-third of food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted globally, which amounts to about 1.3 billion tons per year, according to researchers at the Swedish Institute for Food & Biotechnology (SIK) and the U.N. Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO). Given this loss and waste, the researchers surmised that, “huge amounts of the resources used in food production are used in vain, and that the greenhouse gas emissions caused by

production of food that gets lost or wasted are also emissions in vain.”

For the sake of definition, food loss refers to a decrease in the edible food mass throughout part of the supply chain that specifically leads to less edible food for human consumption. Food loss occurring at the end of the food chain (retail and final consumption) is called “food waste,” which relates to retailer and consumer behavior.

Stanton News“What Really Matters”

was a series of messages begun by our pastor Sunday. Sunday’s message was from “The Sermon on the Mount,” describing qualities a Christian should have in their lives. Happy are those who realize they need God. Our hearts must be pliable in God’s hands. Humility will cause us to mourn over our sins with an attitude, “Lord, I hate my sin.” We are to be the salt of the earth and light for people living in darkness, so that they might see Christ in us.

Samantha Kail was baptized prior to the services Sunday morning, and Briana Kirby was baptized Sunday night. Brother Ralph Brown and Kathy McClinton promoted the VBS with a reading. Christy Fain sang a beautiful song for special music. On Sunday nights, Brother Fred will be bringing messages on the subject of “Living in an Unfriendly World.”

Happy birthday to Joseph Maddox, Arron Bailey, Mary Mangrum, Kristi Snowden and Todd Harvey. Happy anniversary to Greg and Beth Baker and Mark and Darlene Ferrell.

Congratulations to Tony and Melissa Jones. They are the proud parents of a little son, named Conley Michael.

The proud grandparents are Michael and Lisa Jones, and the happy great-grandparents are Bobby and Melanie Jones.

Also, our congratulations to Reeves Garrett and to his parents, Art and Laurel Garrett and to Taylor Primrose. She and Reeves from HHS were the winners of the Creative Writing contest, sponsored by Southwest Electric. They won a tour of Washington D.C., our nation’s capitol.

The sick counting on us to go to the Great Physician on their behalf, are Doug Harvey, Rex Bond, Steve Sullivan, Ruth Taylor and Fletcher Lewis. Others are Viola Brown, Ann Latham, Ray and Janie Hight, Roy Lewis, Jeff Grammer and Billy and Pauline Cobb. Also include Glenn White, who is scheduled for surgery. We were glad to see Bob Alexander able to be back at church.

Bobby and Melanie Jones, from Atlanta, spent a few days with Dewey and Martha Jones last week. They came for the funeral of their cousin, Jimmy Louis Jones, held on Friday. A large number of friends came from the Dunlap Assisted Living facility to attend the funeral. Jimmy had resided there for several years. I’m always

amazed and marvel at the demonstration of the white doves from the Brownsville Funeral Home following the burial and the presentation just before they are let loose.

Harley and Sharon Davis and Shelby from St. Louis, Melvin and Rosa Holcomb and Tom, Bobby and Melanie Jones and Alan Jones came to our home following the funeral for a time together. Later on in the afternoon, the Davises, Bobby and Melanie, Alan, Dewey, Lorie and I enjoyed a meal together at a Brownsville restaurant.

Billy and Peggy Castellaw cooked up one of their delicious stews on Saturday and was good enough to invite us. Dewey, Bobby, Melanie and Alan Jones were among those that attended. I regretted that I was unable to attend. Judy Blair attended homecoming at Midway Baptist Church on the 5th where she was a member before becoming a part of Holly Grove Church.

Ann Faulkner, Lois Davis, Debbie Jones, Jan Wynn, Helen Hastin and Edna Carter attended the Women’s Conference in Louisville, KY, held at Freedom Hall on the University of KY campus. Beth Moore and Kay Arthur were among other outstanding speakers.

We have had some celebrations over here lately. The Barnett family celebrated 40 years in their music ministry with their annual homecoming. As always, they had a great turnout and everyone was well-fed! There is always a ballgame with both young and old participating. The weather was not too hot under that big, nice shade tree, plus the nice breeze helped too!

We also had a very special birthday that same day! Ms. Eunice Williams celebrated her birthday at the home of Ruffie and Linda Jones. Well let’s say it was in their home, there were so many people there that they were in and out of everywhere! Most people around here call her “Teedie” and I haven’t met a soul who doesn’t just love her to death, including me. Teedie received what she calls her new “Red Cadillac” from her family. It’s really one of those walker/chair combination things, but look for her to be running down the street with it. She promised to stop and pick

me up! Seriously now, I have

personally witnessed people running the red lights on Hwy 70 as you go through construction in the bottoms. I was behind one person who stopped, then ran every one of them. It’s dangerous enough down there, folks, please mind the rules. I know it’s hot sitting there, but I’d rather do that than end up in that critter filled water!

Many of you have seen construction going on here in town too! Another grant has hit the ground; installation is being done on the energy grant we received. You’ll see new awnings complete with solar panels, a new sidewalk and sprucing up of the Town Hall, Town Shop and Stanton Cannery.

The Stanton Cannery just underwent phase I of an overhaul project, but is not open yet. We are waiting on the new equipment to arrive and the construction outside to be completed. The cannery already looks a lot better than it did before! Check out the photos on our

Facebook page. I’ll keep you posted on the re-opening of the Stanton Cannery.

Our Farmers Market is also running late due to this construction. This shouldn’t take too long, so we’ll let you know when we plan to kick off the season!

Please keep Vicky Fawcett and her family in your thoughts and prayers; she is undergoing surgery as I write this. Hopefully by the time you read this column, she will be back home. Everything is expected to go fine, but we all know there is always that chance something can go wrong.

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 (please leave a message), 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.

After last Sunday’s sermon on marriage, I didn’t think Brother Mark Conway could do any better preaching on family. But, according to Jimmy Phillips, his sermon on children obeying their parents was even better. He continued in Ephesians 6 and used various other Scripture references to back up what he said. He and his lovely wife, Lisa, also have children to back up what he says as well. Although I was recuperating following a neck (spinal) surgery, from what I heard it was another fantastic message!

Thanks to Brother Mark for teaching my Jr. High Class among his many other roles at Zion Baptist Church. Also, thanks to the person that played ping-pong for me Sunday night. I heard the youth raised $777 and Bobby Stewart was the champion! Thanks to everyone for your support of the youth mission trip fundraiser.

We were delighted to have Justin, Britany and Alivia come by Sunday afternoon as well as mama (Alice Elrod) and Nicole Johnson. Scottie and Betty Morris came by and brought

enough food to feed an army. I’m talking home-cooked food! Jimmy had just fixed Sloppy Joes and French fries, so needless to say that went to waste.

Zion’s Vacation Bible School went well even without me. I don’t think they even missed me, but I sure missed being there. Thanks, Libba Ellington, for another fantastic week! Congratulations to Robin Johnson for taking the position of VBS Director for next year.

Due to VBS, there were no services at Zion Wednesday night, but that didn’t stop the youth from an out of school blast at the Darnaby’s. About fifty folks enjoyed fishing, volleyball, golf and goodness knows what else. I’m sure they had good food and lots of fun as usual with such wonderful hostesses as Steve and Nan.

Brother Grover Westover led the prayer breakfast Thursday with 13 attending. According to Brother Mark, he also did a fine job singing to the group as well. Thanks, men, for your faithfulness! Anyone interested in joining this group, come Thursday morning at six to Zion’s family life center.

Thanks to Randy and Melanie Thomas for delivering a delicious home-cooked meal Thursday when we came home from the hospital. Melanie is another one of those delicious cooks, and just like her mother Reese, she is a very caring individual!

A special thanks to Dr. Mom and Dr. Lisa for being there for me during all the pain following my surgery. Next to my wonderful husband Jimmy, they were the best!

Congratulations to Scottie and Betty Morris on their 47th wedding anniversary. Hopefully, I can have details next week of their plans to celebrate.

Don’t forget June 19 is Father’s Day, with no evening services, and on June 26 we will observe the Lord’s Supper at Zion Baptist Church.

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

Call me at 772-4257 if you have news. People want to know!

MTD to change name to match its product

According to Bob Dempsey, general manager of the local M.T.D. factory, here, a change in the name of the local plant is contemplated with plans being fi nalized to have it known after July 1 as the Cub Cadet.

The new name derives from the new product that is to be manufactured here as a result of negotiations for the manufacturing of the Cub Cadet line of small tractors and mowers. This deal was made with International Harvester in Louisville, several months ago. The line had previously been made at a plant in the Kentucky city.

At present three assembly lines are in the process of being converted to assemble the new products, however, Mr. Dempsey said, there is still a full summers work to be done on certain automotive parts, but all in all the work on the old MTD products is “winding down.”

Weekly Devotional“But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8 But if we have food

and clothing, we will be content with that.”

In a world that is continuously focused on the materi-al and physical, we often fi nd ourselves caught up in the mix of what “can be”in our lives. We have aspirations that drive us to be more than we are and have more than we do. And while it is good to have a passion and goals, we get swept away by how much it matters to us to move to that new house, purchase that new car or work at the job of our dreams.

Still, God calls us to focus on the task at hand and be con-tent with what we have. So often we ask for more thinking we deserve it, when we forget to look back and see what we have now. All the tools and things you need are already at your desposal because God never leaves us without what we need.

Our love and best wishes are with Vicky Fawcett this week, as she is having sur-gery, according to an email all the correspondents just received. She did not give us any details, but I’m sure our prayers for a quick recovery will be appreciated.

Katherine Hooper had a nice surprise this weekend when her son, Bill, and a friend of his stopped in on their way home to Ohio to visit a couple of hours.

Every mother is always happy to see her child, no matter how old they are.

There’s no one more spe-cial than our children, except our GRANDCHILDREN. As the shirt says “we should have had them first.”

We are doing our com-munity service work this week. One of the church’s in our area sent us zip-lock bags to fill with goodies for each child and teacher in VBS next week. Our resi-dents loved filling the bags and feeling like they were still helping in VBS. Most of them helped in Vacation Bible School for many years and really enjoyed being part of it again. These are certainly things we can do. Let us know if we can help any of you.

Our love and best wishes are with Jottye Newman as she is in Jackson General Hospital – Room A-604 in Jackson this week. Jimmy came in for a minute this morning and said she is feel-ing some better. We miss her here at Sugar Creek and will be glad when she gets back.

Played another one of those fun Noodle Volleyball games, in fact, we actually played four games. The team with “Bo” and David Pope, Katie McAdams, Geneva Cooper, Frances Blalock and Virginia Ferguson won two games while the team con-sisting of Irlene Clement,

Charlotte Jones, Virginia Dickinson, Arline Boisvert and Wanda (Mrs. Katie’s helper) won one game. They tied each other for one game also. That game gives us all some really good exercise.

John and Virginia Dickinson just got back from a fun vacation in Florida. They went with their trav-eling buddies, Roland and Ann Reid, and had a won-derful trip, just like old times!

Thank you to Virginia Wolfe for the magazines she brought us. We have a resident who is a real cat lover and we gave the “Cat Fancy” magazines to her.

Martha Jane Williams has some company for a few days. Her daughter, Phyllis, is here from Mobile along with Ms. Martha Jane’s granddaughter, Kate and her children, Mac and Marbury. Having company

is so fun, especially when it’s your family. Even bet-ter when you don’t have to cook for them, you just take them into the dining room and get served. Of course, I understand Ms. Martha Jane never cooked a lot anyway. Someone said she didn’t particularly like that appliance called a STOVE and got rid of hers the first chance she got. My kind of girl. Don’t tell her I said all this or I’ll probably be in big trouble. I’ll never get another one of those cheese straws she so generously shares with me.

Come rock awhile with us and see what’s happen-ing out here.

Thank God for the thun-der showers that came through our community last week. Watering out-side plants has already become a job. I may have to take up a collection to pay for my water bill.

Miranda Kendrick, daughter of Randy and Marilyn Kendrick, has been in Washington, DC with the 4-H Club. Miranda was one of the few selected for this trip, and I know she will have a lot to talk about.

Rebecca Davis, daugh-ter of Shea and Lee Anna Parker Davis, was at church camp in Canton, Miss. this week.

Kenneth and Bettye Sargent attended the Baptist Senior luncheon that was held at the Industrial Park last Thursday. Because of

the hot weather, attendance was low, but others enjoyed hamburgers, hot dogs and fellowship.

The Kendricks held their annual reunion at Reba Wyatt’s home last Saturday, June 11, with 57 people enjoying food and fellow-ship.

Sonny and Sandi Bishop sung at Bethel Community Church last Sunday and was enjoyed by every-one. They will definitely be invited back.

On June 26, Bethel Community Church will host Walter Plant from Texas. Walter plays three keyboards at once and is blind. His performance is both spiritual and hilari-ous. Take my word, you will leave with a smile. Bethel will have preaching

at 11 a.m., a potluck meal at noon and at 1 p.m., Walter will begin.

Mary Scott Scallions received a good report from two of her doctors last week. Michael Climer, son of Mark and Linda Climer, had a minor wreck on Hwy 54 last Saturday and was not hurt. Libby Kendrick had a tough week last week. She had several doctor appointments in Memphis and started radia-tion treatments again. Let’s keep Louquita and Darrell Climer, Terri Knight, Libby Kendrick and Bobby Smith in our prayers.

Thought for the Week: “What we do is less than a drop in the ocean, but if that drop were miss-ing, the ocean would miss something.”

Super 8 Star Rating:

with Matt Garrett

This week I review the summer movie sensa-tion, Super 8. And while I admit that I had quite a few expectations for this movie, I did also expect the letdown of never see-ing what the movie mon-ster looked like. Howev-er, for those who haven't seen this fi lm, I will not spoil any ambition you might have to hope for more.

This fi lm delivered ex-actly what you expect: a Steven Spielberg fused with a J.J. Abrams movie. From the intricate fam-ily based content, to the random escapades of the military fi ghting an "un-known" force, this movie holds true to is directors and it's inadvertently a mixture of E.T and Clover-fi eld. Aside from that, the fi lm held well, bringing

you an original, yet pre-dictable, story. And with an abundance of provoc-ative language, surpris-ingly from the kids of the fi lm, it borders on relying too much on the story of the people and not the unfolding, extraordinary events. This movie gets a 7 (not quite 8 or super) out of 10.

Until next week, I'll see you at the theater.

7 out of 10

So many homeless animals-adopt one at the Animal Shelter!

Fantastic News!!!! Caitlin Garrett made it to the West Tennessee Idol fi nals!!! The fi nals will be held at the Ned in Jackson on June 26! Thanks to all of your votes, this child is cookin’ and jammin’!!

Another thrilling tidbit is Brett Scallions came home for a week with his wife Abby and their two little ones, Jagger Song and Sawyer Cruz! The Rocker was home!! It was the fi rst time for the children to come to Brownsville. Jagger is 3 1/2 and Sawyer is 6 months old! They live in California, and don’t get to come home very often with their schedules and all. Sometimes, Reida and Charlie B get to see them when Brett has a gig close by. Brett is touring with the band, Fuel, and also working on a CD by another band he has going on. Reida and Charlie B try to get out to LA in between times. We are so proud of Brett! I think that is amazing that he is singing with his band out in LA! I can still remember when he was in the High School Show Choir!

Here’s a little scoop from my friend George Norvell! Brownsville Baptist Church’s actors and singers are in rehearsals for their annual Summer Dinner Theatre production. The 2011 theme will be “Hatchie Family Reunion,” and the performance dates will be July 19-22 in BBC’s fellowship hall. They are re-structuring their facilities this year so that there will be more dinner tickets available each night. Tickets will go on sale Tuesday, July 5, in the Church Offi ce. This marks their tenth consecutive year to present marvelous evenings of great food, warm fellowship and fun for all. The public is cordially invited! If any of you have seen these Summer Dinner Theatre productions, you KNOW it is money well spent! They are magnifi cent!

Brett Stoots, son of Judy Stoots Westover, is back from studying abroad through the Rhodes College Maymester Program in Belgium for about a month. He shared that the experience was terrifi c and the country was beautiful! He is anxious to get back into his work this summer with Moore Insurance and come in contact with many of you! Make our college students feel welcome as they return to make a difference in the community!

Jody Lea and Elliott Simmons went to Murfreesboro for the 108th Tennessee Funeral Directors

Association (TFDA) a couple of weeks ago for three days. Jody was chosen to serve on the TFDA’s Education Committee for the next year! Whoa, Jody! Way to go! What an honor! Congrats!!

Nancy and Tommy Littlejohn were on grandparent duty this week, while their daughter and husband, Jennifer and Chris McCage of Cordova, enjoyed a week in the Cayman Islands. What a fantastic way to celebrate their anniversary! They said it was beautiful, and they fed the stingrays and took a submarine ride 106 feet into the deep ocean! What an experience! Now it looks like we will have to send Nancy and Tommy on a vacation to recuperate from entertaining the grandkids! Ha!

Ann Harrell just returned from Chapel Hill, NC., where her grandson, Robert Augustus Harrell IV, graduated from Durham Academy. He will be attending University of Texas at Houston at the Conrad Hilton School of Hotel Management. He is the son of Drs. Robert and Joanne Harrell. Ann, we know you are so proud! Congratulations, Robert!

Another little ‘happy’ for Ann Harrell, is the fact her granddaughter, Jordan Elise Harrell, just announced her engagement to Andrew Howe. The wedding will take place next year on June 16, 2012. Ah… Don’t you just love weddings? More congratulations to you, Jordan Elise Harrell and Andrew Howe!

A fantastic bit of news from Brenda and Trey Lonon! Emily passed her nursing boards! Yay! Way to go Emily! We need more nurses so badly! Bunches of kudos to you and all your hard work! I know you will be a much-loved nurse! I can’t wait to see you in your scrubs!

Remember, the Survivor’s Luncheon is this Thursday, at 11:30 a.m. at the Brownsville Baptist Church. This is a very moving luncheon, and if you are a survivor, you need to be there. Call Carolyn Flagg to make your reservation today at 772-0425.

Relay for Life Event is Friday night at the football fi eld. It is an event worth coming out in the heat to celebrate. I did hear there was going to be a Woman-less Beauty Review, and you knowhow entertaining those can be! I have heard from an un-named source that Executive Director of the Chamber, Joe Ing, and County Mayor, Franklin Smith, are two of the competitors! Whoa! Lord

have mercy, those two on the same stage will be more than the average observer can handle!

Haywood County resident, six-year-old, Alissa Warren, daughter of Keith & Dianne, has been chosen to be on several electronic billboards in Jackson, as a representative for Special Needs Athletics! She was chosen because of her beautiful smile and happy disposition. Special Needs Athletics is a great opportunity for all special needs children and adults who participate in sports. It is one of the greatest blessings you can receive watching these special athletes’ courage and determination. There are three amazing children representing Haywood County during the 6:45 p.m. Special Needs Athletics ballgames- Rich Nichols, son of Nick & Abby Nichols, Carrington Pearson, daughter of Broderick & Andrea Pearson and Alissa Warren. These brave kids would love your support. We are proud of all the Special Needs Athletes! Go to www.specialneedsathletics.org for more information on this inspiring organization!

Judy Blair had a double blessing on June 2! She had twin great-nieces born! Juliet Christian Wright, weighing in at 3 lb.7 oz. and Audrey Heather Wright, weighing in at 3 lb 11 oz. Their parents are Chris and Heather Wright of Jackson. The girls are the fi rst set of twins in Judy’s family since Judy’s grandfather, Eddie Oscar Jones and his twin brother, John, were born. A little hospital time, but they are doing great! She can’t wait to get her hands on them and start spoiling them! I know you are proud, Judy!

I have one last tiny morsel of news before I sign off. Our Kreme Kastle owner, Josh Shearon, has made a momentous decision to go to law school at University of Memphis! He already graduated from Lambuth University with a degree in business. His family is so very proud and supportive of him. This has been his life-long dream, and he is now going to act on it! Hooray for you, Josh! No better time than the present! He told me personally “rest assured the Kreme Kastle will NOT close due to my decision!” That’s good to know because that’s our corner hangout!

Keep that SCOOP coming in friends! I couldn’t do the column without you! [email protected] [email protected] or 780-4111.

Jennifer Campbell posted on our FB page this week: “This is a wonderful site. I want to travel to Tennessee this summer and stop at the libraries and courthouses in the counties where my ancestors lived, but just in case I don’t make every stop. My great, great, great-grandfather Solomon Koonce was sold as a slave to Isaac Koonce in 1839/40 from the Nunn’s estate. I’m trying to fi nd out who that Nunn was. Is there any kind of court record that identifi es him? I’m hoping that the information will take me past my brick wall and also give me more details about my great, great, great-grandmother Amy. On the census, Solomon said he was born in South Carolina or North Carolina. Isaac lived in the part of Haywood that later became Crockett County. Thank you for any help.”

We are currently working on this one for Jennifer, but if you have any information which may help her, feel free to post it on our FB page (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Haywood-County-TN-Genealogy-Genies/194582523897927), or get a message to one of us at the emails provided below.

Gary Smothers also requested our help: “My great, great-grandfather was a slave during 1850-1860 owned by John Smothers, his name was also John Smothers and he was a listed as a mulatto b.1825. Can you please tell me if there is any

info about the Smothers family? Thanks, have a blessed day.”

We do have some different lines of Smothers family with a John. Gary was able to provide us with the birth year of the owner John (1823) and the name Rebecca Smothers so we could distinguish which line he needed. We are currently researching this for him. As always, if you have any information that may assist us and Gary, we would love to have it.

Another request from Heather Miller I’m so happy I found this page. I just found out today that my family was from Brownsville. I quickly went online and found so much information about the Mullen family from the 1860 census. Is there any information on Minerva Mullen? I couldn’t fi nd much on her or Mary Read who married William Mullen?

Lisa Anderson, my grandparents, lived on highway 54 my

grandfather’s name was Ulessy White. He was a farmer and my grandmother’s name was Vinetta (Haynes) White she was a housewife; she is buried in Turnpike Cemetery. I would love to fi nd more info on them.

Janet Kozenski Ryan writes: I can’t seem to fi nd the parents of my great-grandfather, David Bruce Kerr. He was born June 5, 1863 or 1864, maybe in Chester. He died April 6, 1948 in Haywood County. He was married to Juliet V. Stanley. I would love to know anything at all about him. You all do great work!

We are currently working on these requests, and could sure use some help! Anyone wishing spend just a few hours a week researching?

The Brownsville Country Club hosted the 3rd Annual Brownsville Rotary Club Golf Tournament on Thursday, June 9. Rotarians, volunteers, golfers and BCC staff enjoyed a bar-be-cue lunch prior to the shotgun start. In all, eight teams participated, but only one team would walk away a winner, and the other teams would just walk away.

The team that managed to shoot the lowest overall score was the team from Lea & Simmons Funeral Home. Tripp Byrd, Chris Lea, Jody Lea and Elliott Simmons combined to shoot 50 strokes to clinch the win. In second place was the team from FSB Insurance with 53 strokes. And rounding out the top three was First South Bank with 54 strokes.

It was a hot, humid day, and most people would prefer to be indoors soaking up air conditioning. However, the mind of a golfer is wired somewhat differently from that of a normal person, and they are compelled to tackle the course whenever the opportunity presents itself. Indeed, the people that participated in this tournament could be considered a little insane were it not for the cause that was to benefit from this tournament.

Rotary International has been spending countless resources and thousands of man-hours in the effort to rid the world of the debilitating

polio virus. Down to only Afghanistan, India, Nigeria and Pakistan, Rotary International has aided in the decline of the virus, and the golf tournament last weekend was able to raise over $2,600 for this effort.

In addition to the teams that won, there were two long-drive contests and two closest-to-the-hole contests. The two long drives were done on the par 5 number five by Bill Freeman and the par 5 number 16 by Ben Thornton.

The proximity contests were accomplished by Jim McAdams on the par 3, number nine and Lee Winchester on the par 3, number 13. Rounding out the field for the tournament were First State Bank (55), Haywood Company (58), State Farm (60), City of Brownsville (62) and Insouth Bank (63). Congratulations to the winners, participants, sponsors and volunteers for making the tournament happen.

The Haywood County Young Guns traveled to Memphis to compete in the Region 1 SCTP Tournament at MSSA on May 22. This was the first Region 1 skeet shoot to take place this year. The other was held in Paris at Holly Forks on June 5. Continuing their undefeated stretch, the Young Guns took first place in both varsity and junior varsity divisions. The varsity team won out over five other teams with a score of 279 out of 300. Individual scores were: Hayden Combs (97), Will Taylor (98) and Hayes Wright (84). Will Taylor received the honor of Regional Varsity High Over All Champ and Hayden Combs received runner-up. Hayden and Will have graduated undefeated

in regional skeet competition. “They will be sorely missed by the Young Guns,” said Coach Wendel Combs.

The junior varsity team won their division with a score of 269 out of 300. Cara-Beth Maddux, who received the Junior Varsity High Female honor, shot a 79. Robert Allen King and Jake Winters both shot a score of 95 to share the honor of Junior Varsity High Over All. Hunter Coulston received the High Over All Varsity Alternate award with a score of 88. Hunter Campbell shot a 92 to attain the honor of High Over All Intermediate Advance Alternate. And Blake Robinson received High Over All Rookie with an 81. Also competing was David Ross Blurton who shot a 77.

The Young Guns varsity trap team competed at MSSA on June 4,

as well, under Coach Doug Taylor. The team finished quite low on the list compared to the other teams. The individual scores were: David Ross Blurton (66), Berkley Cobb (86), Hunter Coulston (91), Will Taylor (91) and Hayes Wright (79). The brothers out of Somerville, Sam and Will Howell, competed as intermediate entry alternates and scored 69 and 71 respectively.

The next competition for the Haywood County Young Guns is the SCTP State Competition in Nashville, June 21-26. Here is to wishing the teams a good shoot. Although most would tell the team good luck, it would seem that this squad has the skill to accomplish the task. All that is needed is a cool head and determination, and victory will most certainly be theirs.

The 2011 Sterling Awards, an opportunity to honor 20 of the most influential women in West Tennessee, took place April 12—also Equal Pay day—in Jackson.

Chosen from 70 nominations, the awards honored some of West Tennessee’s biggest leaders, movers and shakers, including two from Brownsville.

Among the 20 included Brownsville’s own Andrea Bond Johnson and Jo Anna Morris. And given their positions and accomplishments, it’s easy to see why the two were awarded.

Andrea Bond Johnson is the CEO of Golden Circle Insurance Agency Inc. The Haywood County Branch NAACP

member has served as a licensed funeral director with Rawls Funeral Homes, is a 2000 graduate of Leadership Haywood County, and is also a graduate of the West Star Leadership Class. Johnson is also a member of the Brownsville Rotary Club.

Jo Anna Morris is the Community Bank President of First South Bank, and has been with the bank since it opened in Brownsville in 1997. She has also served as member as the Exchange Club/Carl Perkins Center For The Prevention of Child Abuse since 1997. Like Johnson, she is also a 2000 graduate of Leadership Haywood County, and is also a graduate of the West Star Leadership Class.
