So find yourself ready for a weekend of fall fest action.

Hatchie Fall Festival this Weekend


Since the 1970s, Stella Jelks has called her residence on the North Monroe block, her home. Currently living in the cramped four-bedroom house with her daughter and three grandchildren, the recent years have not been to kind to the home, especially thanks to the string of severe storms and flooding.

In fact, several portions of the house still contains significant holes in the ceiling, which family members have tried to patch up. However, as one of Jelks’ children noted, when it rains, the amount of water that manages to get in is still pretty bad.

The local chapter of Habitat For Humanity will change that for Jelks, as her home will serve as their project for this year.

Habitat members kicked off the project with a visit to Jelks and her family last Friday, October 7.

If you think that delivering pizzas contains little danger, then you may want to think again.

Authorities recently arrested three suspects in connection of an armed robbery of a pizza delivery driver in Brownsville.

Authorities from the Brownsville Police Department received a call about an armed robbery last Tuesday, October 4 at approximately 9:55 p.m.

Authorities said that three suspects broke into an abandoned house on North Park and placed a delivery order with Domino’s Pizza, located at 251 West Main.

When the driver arrived, authorities said that he was robbed by the three suspects with a handgun.

The suspects held him at gunpoint and beat him. They took seven pizzas from the driver, worth an estimated $50, six dollars cash and the driver’s cell phone.

They also drove away in the victim’s car, which was found

The Brownsville City Board Of Mayor and Aldermen met for a short meeting Tuesday, October 11 at city hall.

The board actually found themselves dealing with a light agenda. An expected presentation by the Jackson Regional Partnership was cancelled and planned for a rescheduled date. And the board looked at and passed various roadblock permits for Hatchie Fall Fest related activities.

The board did pass a resolution that will authorize the city to submit an application for a Tennessee Department of Transportation Enhancement grant.

The grant is worth $750,000, with the city having to match 20 percent of the construction costs or $150,000, plus reconstruction costs, which will cost $100,000, having the city pay a total of $250,000.

The grant would be used for the “second phase” of court square work said Mayor Jo Matherne, focusing primarily on sidewalk replacement and improvement and a lighting project along Main Street east of Court Square.

In other news, the city will be taking a look at employee benefit plans, not in an effort to really change anything, but to make sure the insurance benefits city employees are receiving with their current plan are competitive to other insurance providers. A board

will be put together to look at other competitors’ plans and comparisons.

The board also discussed briefly the possibility of having the meeting once again taped for cable TV.

There was a concern raised by Alderman Averyheart concerning the speed limit signs in the Scott Street area. Averyheart, after being pulled over in the area recently for going 30 in 20 miles per hour area, wondered if the area was a speed trap and inconsistent with other neighborhoods in Brownsville. Averyheart recalled being unaware that the Scott Street area was set at 20 miles per hours compared to other similar areas in the city that are set at 30.

Brownsville Police Chief,

Chris Lea, recalled that the speed zone was initially lowered following complaints from Scott Street residents of speeding and loud music in the area where Averyheart was pulled over.

Mayor Matherne said that the board could look at other areas in the city and compare speed zones to avoid any inconsistencies.

And finally, TVA’s bill for August was $1,767,906.34. This month, the average residential electric bill will have a decrease of approximately six percent. And the August unemployment for Haywood County is at 13.7 percent, setting the county as number nine as county’s with the highest unemployment percents.

For years, many have looked towards the martial arts beyond just a means of learning to defend oneself.

Martial arts have provided a plethora of benefi ts to children and adults alike, including discipline. It seems that resident within in Haywood County are seeing these advantages when it comes to martial arts, and have taken it upon themselves to spread the benefi cial mental and physical aspects to other residents. In a special two-part series, we take a look at two residents who have decided to bring the teachings of martial arts to Haywood County.

For The Children

What do you do with another chance?

Is then when you choose to live it to the fullest? Do you give back? Or do you do both?

It was a question Brownsville resident Desmond Hays asked himself last April following a stroke, but suddenly answered thanks to his study in martial arts.

The 44-year-old has been practicing martial arts for approximately 28 years and with perhaps a new look at life, immediately decided to give back to the community in quite a unique way.

Hays began offering martial arts classes to the youth of Haywood County, recalling what

practicing in it did for him as a child.

“God ain’t ready for me,” Hays said while talking about his major stroke. “He wants me to put a whole lot into living for these kids.”

A self-described wild-child in his youth, Hays recalled his ex-military father enrolling him into martial arts as a means to deal with his extra energy. For Hays, the move worked, and 28 years later, he holds a 2nd Degree Black Belt, obtained under the tutelage of Sensei E.J. Grier and Morris Scruggs in Nashville.

Hays began teaching martial arts classes last year, two days a week at the Carver High School gymnasium. Although grateful for the opportunity, Hays still

had expansion on the mind.

“I always wanted my own dojo,” Hays said. “Don’t get me wrong, I was grateful with Carver, but some days for example, it was hard getting in the gym. We were dependent on others, and we just had to change this.”

A few weeks ago, Hays fi nally took the next step, opening the Brownsville Martial Arts Activity Center, located on 925 North Washington. Along with instructor R.L. Banks, martial arts classes are taught Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 6 to 8 p.m. for beginner and advanced classes. Modelia Tyus also helps Hays run the facility.

The dojo also offers

aerobics, a gym area to lift weights and also self-defense classes for adults.

Yet make no mistake, the facility is still center on children Hays said.

For example, Hays is also in the process of setting up computers so that children have a way to work on homework as well as tutoring.

For Hays, the benefi ts of martial arts are plentiful for children, as it teaches many life skills.

“It helps you with common sense,” he said. It makes you think a second before you do

anything or react.”With his new facility,

and with all that it offers, Hays is hoping to affect the minds and hearts of children while at a crucial stage in their lives.

“What you do in life will come back to you,” he said. “ What you do while at a young age is what will come back with you later in life. It’s all a circle.

For more information on the dojo, you can call at 772-4000, 432-3056 or 780-2245.

Resident offers community dojo

For a number of years, the non-profi ts Christian based organization has tremendously changed the lives and homes of local residents for a number of years. Whether out in the more rural areas of Haywood County, or closer to the city, every year Habitat works hard to fund-raise and build new homes for worthy people.

In fact, this will serve as the 11th home built by the organization, Habitat board member Alice Nunn noted.

While past projects

have had homes built at different locations from the original homes, Jelks wants hers built at the same location, as she likes her neighborhood.

Habitat President, Allen Williams, anticipates the new home being completed in “April of 2012 depending on the weather.”

They will begin on the project the fi rst week of November.

Jelks said that in the meantime, she and her family will look for an apartment to stay in and place their furniture in

storage while they build the new four-bedroom home.

She expressed complete gratitude to habitat for making her home their 2011-2012 project.

“I just want to thank Habitat for coming here to give me this opportunity,” she said.

Habitat will be seeking voluntary help as well as donations for the project. The opportunity to volunteer to help with the home, ranging from construction to clean up is open to anyone. For more details, you can

contact Williams at 731-780-7889. Applications for their 2012-2013 home are also being accepted at this time.

Clark was charged with aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary and theft of property over $500. And Holmes was charged with aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary and theft of a motor vehicle.

Also on the same night

Authorities arrested Tyler Keen Boyd in connection to the crime and charged him with robbery.

ton County USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) Farm Loan Manager, Jo-seph A Wade, announced that the loan limit for the Guaranteed Loan Program will increase to $1,214,000. The limit is adjusted annually based on the "Prices Paid to Farmers Index," com-piled by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS).

“Raising the guaran-teed loan limit will allow FSA to better meet the financial needs of pro-ducers across the state,” said FLM, Wade. "This increase comes at a time when agricultural pro-ducers are facing unprec-edented economic hard-ships and need all of the means of obtaining capi-

tal they can get," he said. Another change to the

guaranteed loan pro-gram will affect the one-time loan guarantee fee charged on all FSA loans obligated after October 1, 2011. The one-time loan guarantee fee will in-crease from 1.0 percent to 1.5 percent of the guaran-teed portion of the loan.

FSA guaranteed loans allow lenders to pro-vide agricultural credit to farmers who do not meet the lender's normal underwriting criteria. Farmers and ranchers ap-ply for a guaranteed loan through a commercial lender, and the lender ar-ranges for the guarantee. FSA can guarantee up to 95 percent of the loss of principal and interest on a loan. Guaranteed loans

can be used for both farm ownership and operating purposes.

Producers who are unable to obtain financ-ing through a commer-cial lender, including a guaranteed loan, could be eligible for an FSA direct loan. These loans are made by FSA with government funds and the limit is $300,000 (except for Emergency Loans which have a limit of $500,000). The maxi-mum combined guar-anteed and direct farm loan indebtedness is now $1,514,000.

For more information on FSA’s farm loan pro-grams, please contact FLM, Joseph Wade at the Tipton County USDA Service Center at 901-475-3350 Ext. 109.

Growing older or growing up

It All Started with Columbus

When I was a kid, I was fascinated by the martial arts. Really to be honest, I sill am to this day. Unfortunately, beside the usual back yard shenanigans of most children influenced by action films and TV shows, I never officially participated in them. This may have stemmed from fear of asking my parents and having them turn down my wish, which is silly now that I think about it.

Yet, there were still some aspects about the martial arts that attracted my attention beyond the high-flying kicks and punches.

Honor and respect were huge factors I always associated with the good guys of action cinema along with keeping calm during pressure and doing the right thing.

I bring my childhood up, only because of the recent stories I’ve found myself covering.

Haywood County has a few martial artists who are trying to teach these values to local area children.

And for parents who are both looking for activities to keep their children busy or wish that there were something that could teach essential life

lessons for future success, you could probably do no better than these martial arts classes.

Taking the time to interview Ricky Ellington and his dojo for last week’s story on Ellington and Son, he mentioned a bundle of positive changes that parents have noticed with their children after enrolling in his martial arts classes.

D.L. Hay, who is debuting his Martial Arts and More, echoed similar statements, while also

noting his efforts for his facility to serve as much more than just a training grounds for Brownsville youth.

After talking with both of these men, I’d have to say that they both come highly recommended.

These are gentlemen whose hearts and minds are dedicated to helping the youth of Brownsville; avoid a slippery path later in life.

They’re perhaps a great benefit to the city.

Monday was Columbus Day, but unless you work for the federal government or tried to go to the bank, you might not have even noticed. Columbus has fallen out of favor over the last few decades.

It’s politically incorrect to suggest that there is anything to celebrate about his discovery of the Americas. Indeed, many people feel so strongly about it they want to abolish the holiday itself.

It wasn’t always so. Columbus Day was once considered to be a major patriotic holiday, first commemorated all the way back in 1792, on the 300th anniversary of his voyages. A hundred years later, in 1892, the entire nation began celebrating the 400th anniversary of the voyages with all sorts of parties and ceremonies. President Benjamin Harrison encouraged the entire nation to celebrate “Discovery Day”, as it was then called, not so much to honor Columbus the man as to celebrate all that his discoveries made possible; to wit, America.

They threw a major world’s fair in Chicago to celebrate the quadri centennial of the voyages, and began what would become one of our most cherished American rituals; the newly written Pledge of Allegiance was recited by school children for the first time on October 12, 1892.

Then, in 1937, President Franklin Roosevelt proclaimed it to be a national holiday, to be celebrated on October 12th every year. In 1971, President Nixon made it a moving Monday holiday, to be observed the second Monday in October.

It was about then that all the trouble started. Columbus, proclaimed the nascent multiculturalist crowd, wasn’t a hero; he was a murderous racist, a savage villain who destroyed cultures and enslaved entire populations. The equally new political correctness crowd said we shouldn’t offend native peoples in the Americas by celebrating the day that instead we should proclaim it a day of mourning.

Thus began the vilification of Columbus the man and the attacks on the holiday in his honor. He became, to them, a symbol of slavery and genocide, a

personification of that entire crowd sees as evil in Western Civilization. Some have gone so far as to compare Columbus and his deeds to Hitler and the Holocaust. His name has been torn to shreds, and before they are through, will be erased from the national memory altogether except as an exemplar of evil. “Columbus murdered a continent,” read a sign at a recent protest rally against Columbus Day.

No, he didn’t. It is certainly true that horrible things happened to the native populations during, and throughout the aftermath of his voyages, but that was nothing new for the Americas. Disease and violence in the form of murder and slavery had been going on in the Americas for centuries prior to his visits. The Aztecs, for example, once murdered 20,000 slaves in a single day as a religious sacrifice.

The lands upon which Columbus landed were no innocent paradise. What he found were primitive societies advanced little more than Stone Age man. Their lives were brutish and mean and marked by perpetual poverty and disease long before he arrived, and they were well versed already in the concepts of discrimination, racism, slavery and warfare. Their lives were such a desperate quest for survival that killing each other to gain an advantage was almost as natural as hunting game. In short, they suffered from all the pathologies uncivilized people do, but that began to change with the arrival of European settlers. Yes, they enslaved thousands of natives and yes, they oppressed entire populations, but they also brought with them a civilization that would soon teach the world that enslavement and

oppression were morally wrong and would end the scourge of slavery throughout the civilized world.

They would replace the tribalism of the Middle Ages with a culture in which each human being is considered to possess “individual” rights to life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness.

And that is the true heritage of the voyages of Columbus. They made it possible for Western Civilization to take hold in the New World. Many, but not all, the criticisms leveled against him are valid, but they weren’t unique to him or to European societies. They were simply the way of the world in that age. But what Columbus and those who followed also brought were the seeds of a culture and civilization that would change the world and systematically eradicate those pathologies, and do so more thoroughly than any civilization in history.

And yes, he forced religious conversion on entire populations. Thank God he was a Christian. Do you think any of the good things about life in America would have come about otherwise? If so, point to a non Christian country anywhere in the world or in world history where a comparable culture has arisen. America could have, and would have been, a vastly different place had it been Moguls or Muslims who first colonized our shores.

So thank God for Columbus. He planted far more than the flag of Spain on the shores of our continent some 520 years ago. He planted the seeds of Western Civilization and the great American republic that would bring it to its apex. He started it all. And I, for one, am glad that he did.

The thought of growing old can be very frustrating and intimidating. I’ve found this to be especially true these past few years. There are many sources that seem to bring home this message on a daily basis.

All the advertisements and promotional material that fill our mailboxes or come by way of media constantly remind us that we are getting older. How many times have we visited our doctors only to be reminded that we are doing well considering our age?

Sometimes, discussions with friends can be just as gloomy. Recently, during a coffee break, these reminders popped up. It seems that age was the factor for numerous problems in the group. One could barely hold the cup because he was weak. Another could not grip the cup because of his arthritis and yet another couldn’t see to pour the coffee due to his cataracts. Shucks, it was miraculous that we all managed to drive ourselves to the coffee shop.

While reflecting back to these conversations, I was reminded of a story that reinforced my efforts to grow up with age rather than be destroyed by it.

The story features an 87-year-old college freshman whose name

was Rose and a young male classmate.

During their first class meeting, the professor challenged his students to get to know someone they didn’t already know.

When class was dismissed, the male student felt a pat on his back. He turned around and met Rose face to face who greeted him with the words, “Hi handsome.” He, on the other hand, wanted to know why she was attending college at her age. She informed him that her dream always was to get an education.

Rose and her male counterpart became great friends and that friendship continued to grow and flourish throughout their college years.

She was also well respected by the student body and was asked to speak at a football banquet.

When it came time for her to speak, her nerves were on edge and her notes written on three-by-five index cards fell to the floor. “Since I can’t get my speech in order,” she said, “let me just tell you what I know.”

The following is a small portion of that speech: “We don’t stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing.

There are only four

secrets to staying young, being happy and achieving success. You have to find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many who are dead and don’t know it! There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.

If you are 19 years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. If I am 87 years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything, I will turn 88. Anyone can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability.

The idea is to grow up always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we didn’t do.

The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”

One week after graduation, Rose died peacefully in her sleep. She was remembered by thousands and here are some one-liners that have been passed along to her memory: “Remember, growing older is mandatory, growing up is optional;” “We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give;” and “If God brings you to it, He will lead you through it.”

The Haywood County Historical Society met on Sunday, October 11 at 3 p.m. atthe lovely restored home of Mr. and Mrs. Tommy Sellari.

The Italianate home with Victorian gingerbread began as a four-room house built byJohn Hicks Thomas in 1856. Later, in 1881, Robert Spencer Thomas and his wifeKate Pugh Fanning Thomas added 13 rooms for their 12 children.When Tommy and Beth Sellari began renovation two years ago, they found 25’ oakbeams with foot-long wooden pegs holding the house together. They took off allthe plaster and redid the walls and fl oors. They added a bathroom and a back porchto connect the former apartments with two kitchens into one home.

The ceilings are 13’ high with crown

molding, and there are pocket doors (whichthey discovered) made of black walnut joining the dining room and living room.A spiral staircase is in the foyer leading to the second fl oor.

One of the sons, Frank Thomas, fi nished at Annapolis and became a rear admiral in theU. S. Navy. Another son, Spencer Farrington Thomas, graduated from West Pointand became a colonel.Miss Martha Thomas taught home economics at Hood College in Maryland.Her sister Miss Elizabeth Thomas was assistant dean of women at New JerseyCollege. After retirement, they returned to their home “Green Acres” and openeda tearoom.

Mrs. Bess Harper, mother of Mrs. Betsy Taylor, lived in one apartment and the

two Thomas sisters lived in the other apartment. Later, Mrs. Bess Harper boughtthe Thomas house from the heirs for $15,000. When Mrs. Harper died, she leftthe home to her grandchildren Beth and Barrow Taylor.

Now, Tommy and Beth Sellari and their daughter Elizabeth have this marveloushome, perhaps with a few Thomas ghosts.For the meeting, Mrs. Ike Sellari served refreshments to the guests.In addition, Mr. Billy King from Mercer was a guest and presented his new bookBig Black Creek, Volume I. Two more volumes will be published later. King ishaving a cemetery walk on October 22 from 3-7 p.m. There will be wagonsprovided for rides.

Saving Grace is not a rubber stamp marking a person “forgiven.” God’s grace changes the heart and life and re-creates the believer from the inside. Salvation is not simply a status. It is a new life…a new way of thinking…a new heart and mind. Grace is active and powerful. Titus 2:11-12 says, “For the grace of God has ap-peared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and

worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in the present age…”

So the “grace” that “brings salvation” will always train and teach us to live according to God’s stan-dard. If the “grace” you live under does not teach these things, it is not the grace that has “brought sal-vation.”

Hunting ethics are the responsible practices, standards, hunting safety and rules followed by hunters and outdoorsmen. These are not always written laws, but sometimes codes of conduct that are considered to be acceptable, favored practices. Hunting ethics encompass how hunters treat animals and other hunters as well how they respect game, property, and game laws. All hunters should show respect for others and the animals.

If another hunter is authorized to be there and gets to your chosen hunting area before you, don’t be spiteful. It is unacceptable to do things to ruin your fellow hunters’ experience over something so trivial. Just follow the golden rule in this situation.

Also remember to always follow up with your shot. Do everything you can to fi nd and retrieve the game you have killed. It can be a diffi cult, long process but it’s ungracious and wasteful to just leave an animal that you have killed out in the woods. Remember to respect the animals you are hunting. I know ninety-nine per

cent of us practice this, but it cannot be repeated too many times.

It is important to also respect hunting laws. Copies of the Tennessee Hunting and Trapping Guide are easily available, so there is no excuse for a hunter to claim ignorance. In fact, in the such a situation, you probably would be better off not to plead to a Game Offi cer that “I didn’t know!” In that case, you shouldn’t have been in the woods or fi elds in the fi rst place.

These laws are in place to protect both hunters and animals. It is only right to obey them. Some common laws that are broken would be poaching or trespassing, serious by all accounts. But they also include exceeding game limits, shooting before or after legal daylight and other violations. These practices are typically easy to commit but just as illegal none the less, not to mention disrespectful to responsible hunters. It is important to obey these laws so everyone can continue to enjoy this wonderful way of life. One thing I recommend is a practice that I have followed for several years. If the legal

shooting times are tied to the offi cial sunrise and sunset, as in waterfowl, migratory birds, deer and many other species, fudge. Hold your shot until a few minutes after that opening minute. Unload that gun just a few minutes before legal close. This can be very hard to do for some, but, trust me, it will give you just a touch more respect for yourself knowing that there was no possible way you could have violated the legal light.

We all know that hunters and our heritage of hunting are not always accepted by all. Anti hunters, whom you are NOT going to convince otherwise, just look for situations of unethical hunting to use as an arrow in their quiver. You can forget about changing their minds, too. Those who are somewhat “on the fence” with the sport can be brought into the fold of hunters with the proper guidance and education. Unethical hunting practices do more to hurt our efforts and image than anything else. Responsible hunters love the outdoors and love the animals we hunt. Please be responsible and help show everyone the beauty of this sport.

Youth soccer season has been in full swing at the YMCA and will continue until the last Saturday in October.

Teams have been playing during weekday afternoons, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursdays and 5:30 p.m. and every Saturday at 9 a.m. YMCA Sports Director Patrick Hines said.

The soccer league has not only taught a new sport to Haywood County youth, but also prepared them for play in higher levels, such as junior high and high school.

Speaking of which, the Haywood County Jr. High Soccer team has also participated in YMCA soccer play this year.

The league this year has

featured three different age groups: 4-6 which play on Thursdays, 7-9 which play on Tuesdays, and 10 and up play on Mondays. All of the teams however get to play on Saturday.

So if you’re looking to enjoy some youth soccer action, join the teams, coaches and the YMCA staff at trhe fi eilds by Eastside until October 29.

Covington jumped on Haywood early Friday night in Covington and the Tomcats were not able to climb out of the hole.

A Haywood fumble on the fi rst play from scrimmage led to a 1-yard touchdown run by Colliar Robinson. Covington scored four more touchdowns in the fi rst quarter en route to a 53-7 District 13-AA win.

“I thought we played good in the second, third and fourth quarters,” said Haywood coach Slade Calhoun, whose team dropped to 1-6 overall and 0-4 in district play. “But we just got off

to a disastrous start.”Haywood freshman

Bryce Young had a strong outing for the Tomcats, completing 19 of 35 passes for 166 yards. He scored the Tomcats’ lone touchdown in the second quarter on a 7-yard run.

Quintavius Caldwell caught six of those passes for 87 yards and Martez Comage hauled in seven balls for 43 yards.

But the rushing attack of Covington (6-1, 4-0, ranked fi fth in the Associated Press 4A state poll), which rolled up 420 yards, was too much to overcome.

Robinson fi nished with fi ve touchdowns and 188 yards on 11 carries and Johnston White added four rushes for 75 yards

and a touchdown. Shelton Lyons broke

a 70-yard touchdown run for Covington early in the fi rst quarter. The Chargers fi nished with four touchdown runs over 40 yards.

Despite the loss, Calhoun liked his team’s effort.

“We moved the ball but we had some turnovers and penalties at bad times,” Calhoun said. “I think that was the hardest we’ve played and the best we’ve played in weeks. I felt like we never stopped trying.”

The Tomcats will head to Medina Friday night to play South Gibson County in another District 13-AA game.

The Haywood High School cross country team competed in the Dyer County Invitational last Thursday with De-onte Brown leading the way.

Brown, a sophomore, fi nished 22nd with a time of 20:20 on a course that Haywood coach David Claybrooks described as “challenging at times with some mean hills to climb.”

Junior Joshua Wilson

fi nished second among Haywood runners, fol-lowed by freshman Kyler Douglas and senior Chris Swain.

Claybrooks said his runners seemed to lose focus when they found before the meet that the team would have only four runners competing.

“It's extremely hard to stay focused sometimes when the team knows they will not receive any points because they only have four runners run-ning instead of fi ve,” Claybrooks said. “It's

also frustrating for the coaching staff as well, be-cause whatever strategy that's set up days before the race is out the win-dow as well.”

The team returns to ac-tion Oct. 18 at the Best of the West meet, which will be held at Obion County Central High School. Obion is also hosting the region meet on Oct. 25.

Said Claybrooks, “The meet will give all the teams in the region a chance to see the course a week before the regional meet.”

Early scores propel Covington past Haywood

Ms. Emma Miller recently celebrated her 95th birthday with family members and Ms. Lela Greer celebrated October 2. We pray many more blessed years for the two of these ladies.

Mr. and Mrs. Robert Gray and granddaughter from New York are visiting Aunt Gussie White Mask and Uncle Floyd. They usually visit three to four times during the year. Robert loves horseback riding, while Debra loves shopping. We hope that they will enjoy both while visiting.

The community extends its deepest sympathy to the family

of Charles Murphy, who suffered multiple bee stings while working last week and passed away. Charles had many friends in the community and liked to help people in any way he could. He will truly be missed by all of us.

Others on our sick, shut in and prayer list include: Hattie Watkins, Jimmie L. Turner, Callie Brooks, Callie Langford, Luevenia Boyd, Betty Douglas, Gladys Bowles, Emma Miller, Mary N. Greer, Rev. J.V. Carney, Edward Vaulx Jr., Jackson Rice, Marie Browning and Kizzie Boyd.

The Concerned Citizens

of Douglas Community monthly meeting was held last week with President Sophia Rivers presiding. Many areas of concern were expressed and ideas for continued improvements to the area. Our meetings are held the first Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m. along with the Neighborhood Watch, which will be held in the November meeting.

Just a reminder of Vacation Bible School classes at Douglas Chapel CME Church, Thursday, October 13 and Friday, October 14 at 6 – 8 p.m. Everyone is invited to attend.

Continued...William C. Bruce and Charlotte Taylor Edney line:

Mary “Polly” Dunham, daughter of John and Jenny Dunham born 1769 in Berkeley County, VA, spent most of her childhood in forts of the Watauga Settlements including Fort Nashborough. Her father, being one of the original signers of the Cumberland Compact, was given 640 acres of land.

Polly, her mother, and her three sisters were among those who made the three month voyage to Nashville via John Donelson’s Flotilla, during the coldest winter ever recorded in Middle Tennessee. John Donelson organized and led a flotilla of approximately 30 boats from the Holston River to the Tennessee River, up the Ohio River, up the Cumberland River to the present site of Nashville, approximately 1000 miles.

They finally ended their three month pioneer journey on 24 April 1780. There were many deaths along the way due to frostbite, attacks by the Native Americans and from Small Pox.

The 640 acres of land given to John Dunham

is now known as Belle Meade in Nashville. The cabin he built for his family is still standing, although they didn’t live in it very long due to attacks by Indians; he moved them back to the fort.

Polly had been a witness to several Native American attacks: Fort Patrick Henry, on the Flotilla and later the bloody and brutal attacks on Freeland’s Station. She was a witness to the murder of her father Joseph, Uncle Daniel Dunham and two of her cousins.

In 1781 Polly’s mother, Jenny, foolishly sent her outside of the fort on an errand to find wood for the home fire. Unaware to her in some high tree brush were Indians waiting to attack her. They grabbed 12 year old Polly and began to cut her scalp! Her blood curdling cries reached the ears of her mother who ran to Polly’s rescue with a garden hoe.

As Mrs. Dunham fought them off, Polly was released and ran back to the fort.

Following Mrs. Dunham were some men in the fort; they too had heard Polly’s cries, but Mrs. Dunham had reached

her first. The Native Americans heard the men coming and fled, however during this squirmish, Mrs. Dunham was shot and seriously wounded. She survived but suffered complications for the rest of her life.

Polly was partially scalped; Frontiersman, General John Robertson, founder of French Lick, performed surgery on her. (Now Nashville.) He was taught this skill by physician Patrick Vance back at the Watauga Settlement, which he performed for several other scalped pioneers.

Polly would knit little “skull caps” and wore them over her healed front hairline for the rest of her life.

Polly later married Alson Edney of Pasquotank County, NC on 26 October 1791 in Williamson County. They had several children. One of them, Charlotte Taylor Edney, came to Haywood County and married William C. Bruce Polly passed away 08 Feb. 1824.

Remember our own Vicky Giompoletti? Vicky and Joanna Morris took Joanna’s two children, Gray and Graham to Walt Disney World while on fall break. It was a treat for Gray’s 13th birthday! Before boarding the plane in Nashville, they had dinner with Vicky’s son, Jason, wife Abbie and baby Henry Giompoletti at the Cheesecake Factory! Happy birthday Gray Morris! You are one lucky guy!

Fabulous scoop! John Gallaspy is finally on the loose in our neighborhood again! I wasn’t expecting to see him out so soon, but knowing John, Mickey couldn’t hold him down one minute longer! He and his little dog were having the best time on a most gorgeous day! Good for you John!

Another happy item! JoAnne Finn was diddy-bopping around at Joey Conner’s merry Ribbon Cutting! Glad she came because it was such a thrilling moment to see Joey’s dream come true. Everyone was cutting up and there were numerous entertaining moments during this much-celebrated event!! You can check Facebook.com and click under Brownsville Chamber and you will be able to see every picture album of every event we have done since I set it up. Kudos to you and your staff Joey Conner!

The peripatetic Jameson women remain on the move! Recently Mary, Martha Jane and Patsy attended a Taylor Swift concert in Nashville. Their on-the-scene fashion reporter marveled at how good they all looked decked out in their cowboy boots and other fabulous country attire. They were prepared to rock with their favorite country music singer! On another excursion, Jane and Patsy traveled to Tuscaloosa to spend the weekend with

Mary and cheered on the Crimson Tide against Arkansas! Jane mentioned frequently how much fun she had going to the game and being in T-town on game day!

Jody and Jeanna Lea headed to Knoxville with friends Joey and Sabrina Benard to the Tennessee Vols and Georgia Bulldogs game. They used their tickets they bought at the Carl Perkins dinner and auction! I like to hear that! Buy something at the auction and take your family for a mini trip with your purchase! Pretty clever Jody Lea!

Mary Ann Shaw, Lynn Shaw, Kathryn Dixon, Ray Dixon and Margaret Welch attended the State Convention of the United Daughters of the Confederacy at Pickwick Lake Lodge this past weekend! Kathryn, Mary Ann and Margaret of the Joe Wheeler Chapter of the local UDC were responsible for the Friendship Dinner, which featured Kathryn’s husband Ray. Ray provided a power point presentation on Civil War Photography of Mathew Brady. Margaret Welch prepared the table arrangements for the

group, awarding them to a lucky person seated at each table!

We all want to extend our deepest sympathy to Mary Lou East. Mr. Jere, who recently passed away, will be deeply missed. We are thinking about you, Ms. Mary Lou.

Those with little ones are welcome to enter the Miss Hatchie Pageant, Saturday, October 22, at Ann Marks Performing Arts Center (check above website).

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

Would the person or persons responsible for placing fliers about a Halloween Party on ve-hicles at the recent Flea Market please stand up? Residents need more in-formation on this party and there’s no number to call and no sponsor list-ed. This flier was adver-tising a party for school age kids in Downtown Stanton. We’ve been con-tacted for information about who was sponsor-ing the event and why the $5 charge. Just so you know, as of this date we know absolutely nothing, but… when we do find out we’ll let you know.

I’ve been told the Town of Stanton will be host-ing their yearly Trick-a-Trunk, which is normally held on the Friday night prior to Halloween from 5 p.m. – 8 p.m. in Down-town Stanton. Since I’m incapacitated, I’ve had to pass this on to someone else, so I’ll let you know if anything changes. Same guidelines, bring your car/truck and decorate it

(and yourself if you want) as we pass out candy to the kids. I assume it will be on Friday night, but if it changes to Saturday I’ll let you know.

Please don’t get this confused with the party on the unknown flier mentioned above since it looks like they both will be held in Downtown Stanton apparently on the same night??

Oleo Acres will have their annual free Spooky Trail going on, but other events such as a hay-ride, bounce house, food, etc have a small charge. Looks like this event will be held both Fridays and Saturdays for two week-ends beginning October 21, 22 and again on 28 and 29. You may call 731-443-0059 for more infor-mation.

At least we know one thing; Stanton will have its share of Halloween Celebrations going on!

Oops, let me back up a bit, Oleo Acres is also having their Sorghum Fest this weekend, the

15th. Call 731-443-0059 for more information. Hopefully you’ll be able to make both this event and the Hatchie Fall Fest.

So it looks like the kids will be well taken care of for Halloween this year, as far as for the adults…guess you’re on your own!

Also remember next week is what we call “meeting week” in Stan-ton. Town Council meets Tuesday, October 18, and the Stanton Plan-ning Commissions meet Thursday, October 20, all at Town Hall.

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 cur-rent events.

“Take Nothing For Granted” was the title of the series of messages begun by our pastor Sunday. God brought people to our area for us to reach with the gospel of salvation. Many worship they know not what. We must help them to know the true God. Jehovah God is one God manifested in the Lord Jesus Christ and through the Holy Spirit. All things came to be through Him as the creator. He is the Redeemer, the eternal God and it’s in Jesus alone that one can receive forgiveness of their sins and be saved. We must be intentional as we reach out to those who haven’t yet met the Lord, Jesus Christ. The choir sang “Beulah Land” for special music, featuring Ricky Hopper as soloist.

Happy birthday to James Steele, John Gilana, Ryan Jones and Ryan Sims. Happy anniversary to Milton and Becky Booth.

Alan and Debbie Jones traveled to Daytona Beach last week and were met there by Heath and Julie Hopkins and Hayden and John. After a stay there, they set out for Gatlinburg to spend some time with

their son, Mark. Then on to Maryville for a few days with Ryan and Heather Bolinger and their little son, Jensen before returning home on Saturday.

The sick are in our prayers and never far from our thoughts. Ask God to help the pastor, preacher in Iran who was imprisoned because he refused to denounce his faith in Jesus. They are threatening to hang him and have been known to kill their families also. Others to include are Viola Brown, Josh Parks, Steve Sullivan in a Jackson hospital, Ruth Taylor, James Lewis, Ted Mann, Elvin Wells and Fletcher Lewis. Also include Annalee Myers, Bonnie Patterson, Rex Bond, Scott Womack, D D Long, Danny Ballard, Geraldine Lawrence, Ken Climer, Sandra Posey, Tony Reid and Ray and Janie Hight. Also include Sierra McClinton as she recuperates.

Sharon Jones Davis, our niece from St. Louis, was an overnight guest of ours last Saturday night. Dewey, Lorie and I, along with Sharon, enjoyed a meal at Ho Ho’s in Bells that night. Lorie accompanied her

home and spent a few days with she and her family.

Jan Wynn recently returned from a trip to Delaware, where she surprised her sister on her birthday. I like to hear Jan talk, her accent tells one right away that she is not originally from the south, but Andy did a great job when he married that north easterner and brought her south.

We express sympathy to Terry Patterson in the death of Doug Keltner and to Sue Vanstory and family in the death of her sister-in-law, Kay Lovelace. Sue’s brothers lost their wives just weeks apart.

Congratulations to Katie Hopper, a student at Bethel College, who was chosen as sophomore representative to the Queen’s Court and rode on the parade float. Katie is the daughter of Ricky and Kathy Hopper.

Brother Fred and Nancy Campbell and Rebekah Hopper told of their recent mission trip to Japan Sunday night and their work with the people and showed slides and the devastation cause by the tsunami and fires that hit there.

I love the weather! Even though the temperatures are a bit on the warm side, fall is definitely in the air and it feels great.

Allen Church would like to welcome new members Susan Anthony and son Paul. We are also proud to have Faith Williams, daughter of Kelly Williams and granddaughter of Wanda and Mike Dew.

The children and youth of Allen are in full swing on Sunday nights from 5-7 p.m. The youth will be going to The Judgment House in Somerville on October 30 at 6 p.m. Our annual Hallelujah Fest will be from 6-8 p.m. on October 31 at the church.

My sister, Patsy, spent the weekend with me and we really had a wonderful time. She came especially for her 50th class reunion, which was held on Saturday evening at College Hill.

I attended the reunion with her and we both truly enjoyed seeing everyone.

Linda Merrick, from Allen, was also in the class with Patsy and enjoyed the reunion on Saturday evening. Linda and the rest of the committee did an outstanding job of planning the festivities.

On Sunday afternoon, I attended a baby shower in Germantown for Leah Barden. Many of Leah’s college friends were there, along with other friends to help her celebrate the soon-to-be arrival of little Autry Tyler Barden, who is due in about four weeks.

The Hatchie Fall Fest will be the weekend of October 15. Many activities are planned and the entertainment line-up is really good. Check out www.hatchiefallfest.com for more information regarding the activities

planned. Good things are happening in Brownsville!

Happy birthday to Sara Littlejohn, Danny Leath, Royal Cozart, Peggy Canady and Ashley Harwell.

Happy anniversary to Ronnie and Clara Hooper.

On our prayer list are Bennett Batchelor, John Michael Emerson, Danny Morris, Jim Stephenson, Jerry Baggett, Martha Crutcher, Faye Hart, Carolyn Danley and Steve White.

Our Bible verse for this week is Psalm 111:24, which states, “This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

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

Have a great week.

Leaves have not begun to change yet, but this has really been a great fall. Maybe our utility bill will go down some.

Our summer months were so hot that the exercise group at Bethel Community Center was postponed, but have now started back. Last Wednesday night was the first chance of getting back in shape. The group will exercise on Monday and Thursday nights at 7 p.m. Curves in Brownsville will be closing at the end of October, so maybe anyone interested will join this group.

School has been out this week and I am sure our kids have enjoyed their fall break. The Gaylon Herron family enjoyed a trip to Gatlinburg, joining his

brother, Ronnie Herron and family for rest and relaxation in a cabin on the mountainside. They had a marvelous mountainview and perfect weather! The leaves are beginning to change there, but should be in full color in the next two weeks. Maggie Anne Herron celebrated her birthday at the Dixie Stampede while in Gatlinburg.

I hope we have good weather for the Fall Fest on October 15. Vendors are coming in from as far away as Arkansas with their crafts. The best part is all the food and the great entertainment!

My grandson, Bradley Harwell, got a piece of metal in his eye a month ago and is going to Memphis twice a week now. There is a chance he

might lose his sight in that eye, but we all are hoping for a miracle. Young people now days just don’t think!

Stan and Mary Ann Flowers attended the Brownsville Exchange Club meeting last Wednesday and gave an emotional speech about how their lives has changed after their twenty-two year old daughter and grandson were killed by a drunk driver 15 years ago. Mary Ann works for MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers) and goes everywhere trying to save lives.

Thought for the week: “Try not to become a person of success, but rather try to become a person of value.”

“In God’s garden of love, you are His ‘Forget me Not’.” As we look at the beautiful fall colors that our Heavenly Father created, I am reminded of that Church sign shared by my sister-in-law, Judy Elrod.

Zion Baptist Church certainly received a blessing Sunday morning as Evangelist Keith Cook and Music Minister, Terry Owens, began Revival services. Brother Cook, who has been in about 70 countries, said one word that was the same in every language was hallelujah! He used John as his Scripture focus and asked, “what kind of Christian are you?” Are you saved, sure, separated, sensitive, and satisfied? “Sink or swim, I’m with Him”.

He continued Sunday night with Ephesians 2 asking, “Where are you in your Christian life?” Are you dead or alive? His wife also shared about their ministry entitled, “On the Go Ministries”.

Sunday afternoon was busy at Jessie and Norma Austin’s house. Happy birthday wishes to Sydney Witherspoon, who celebrated her second with a petting zoo. Jimmy and I were

among the many family and friends that gathered to help her enjoy her day. She even got to try to bust a pig full of candy and share with all her friends, but her cousin Hayleigh, the ballplayer busted it!

Congratulations to Justin and Becky Cole on the birth of their little girl, born October 3. She has some proud grandparents, Sammy and Lynn Fulbright. All are doing well and Noah is proud of his little sister!

Laura Kirkpatrick has been busy making a “roasted pig” for the county fair at Trinity Christian School in Jackson. Her grandmother, Mary Lee, stopped by on the way to school Wednesday and let me see her pink pumpkin with legs and a face. It was darling thanks to her parents help as well, Lynn and Julie.

Brother Grover Westover presented the devotion to 11 men at their community prayer breakfast Thursday. Anyone interested in joining this faithful group, come to Zion’s family life center Thursday morning at six.

Happy birthday wishes to Briana Casteele who

turned three on October 10. She celebrated with a party Saturday at Volunteer Park in Brownsville with many family and friends.

Hayleigh and Trent Austin also celebrated with a joint birthday party at their grandparent’s (Jessie and Norma Austin) home Saturday. Those two had a hayride and karaoke, as well as finding pennies in a haystack. Jimmy and I were among a host of family and friends who helped them celebrate.

About 30 youth gathered at Zion’s Lake to watch a movie entitled, Redemption Ride Saturday night. Thanks to our youth workers for a great time of fellowship.

“We don’t have to fear the darkness when we walk in God’s light.” This is our Thought for the Week as published in the Upper Room Devotional by G. Williams Kilday of Tennessee. Are you scared of the dark? If you put your trust in God there is no need to be scared of the dark. If we live in God’s light and use the light we have to go as far as we can see, we’ll be able to see the next place on our journey. God gives us light to guide us and all we have to do is trust him and the more we will see the way ahead.

How about this weather? Isn’t it absolutely wonderful? One of our newest residents, Dora Robison, has really enjoyed walking outside these beautiful days.

Our love and prayers are with Barbara McGary these days as she has been in the hospital, but is back here at Sugar Creek now and doing better.

Keep Virginia Dickinson in your prayers also as she’s still in rehab at Crestview. Katherine Hooper went to see her son, Bill, last week and had a great time. Alystine Hare was gone several days also. I can’t keep up with everyone; they just come and go and go and come!

Want to thank JoAnn Diggs this week for the huge sack of things she sent to help us fill our Christmas shoeboxes for Samaritan’s Purse. She said she has been buying all year for these. We really appreciate all her help.

We had a big fundraising event this week. We had our annual Gentlemen’s auction. Had some of

the best-looking men in town again this year and for sure some of the nicest. You fellows are so wonderful to always say YES when I ask you to be part of this event.

DAVID SMITH was the first one we sold and was snapped up by Lily Peak who loves his singing and paid top dollar for him. JEFF HOOPER was bought by Lyde Hamilton who will have a fantastic dinner partner next week. Jeff’s sweet daughter, Leslie, was the one with influence enough to get him to agree to let us sell him. Laura Richards bought PASTOR CHRIS MC CURDY from First Presbyterian Church. He’s not only tall, dark and handsome, but I understand from a reliable source that he also sings and prays too! Can’t beat that. We had a younger gentleman in the auction named DREW PHILLIPS and “Bo” Pope was determined to have him come eat with she and David. I don’t know if she realizes it or not, but there is a name for older women who like younger men . I

heard via that same ole grapevine that they’re called “cougers.” You’re welcome for that little tidbit, Bo! I know you wanted to know that. BARRY PRESLEY, who is a retired military man and handsome to boot was bought by our fun-loving Jottye Newman. The first question she asked him was if he had any money. He said she bought the wrong brother. Speaking of his brother, DANNY PRESLEY was in the auction also. Charlotte Jones bought him for big money when she heard he could sing. Danny is the one who drew the plans up for Sugar Creek Retirement Center, bet you didn’t know that, did you? I didn’t either.

You know we have only so many words we can write for these columns each week and since I have a lot of words to say about the next six I’m going to save them for next week. If you think these are interesting wait til you hear about the rest of them.

In the meantime, come by and see us and I’ll write about YOU!

Our October birthday party last Thursday was great! Our dining room was filled with patients as well as family members all helping the 13 patients celebrate their “big day”.

Thank you to Wal-Mart Bakery for the lovely fall decorated cake with the birthday patient’s names written on the top. It was delicious! Thank you to the Deaconess Board at First Baptist Church for the lovely birthday gifts. Also, thank you to First Baptist Deaconess and Oakview Baptist Church for all the thoughtful

birthday cards.Thank you volunteers

for coming this week: Christ Temple ladies, C C Club, Douglas Chapel CME Church, First Assembly of God Church ladies, Westside Church of Christ, Mrs. Ann Nuckolls, Mrs. Mary Barkens, Mrs. Juanita Austin, Community Temple of the Living Church ladies and Bingo ladies.

Dr. Obi Partners With Helping Hands

Advocacy GroupHelping Hands Advocacy Group, Inc (HHAG) is pleased to partner with Dr. Emmanuel Obi. HHAG is a nonprofit healthcare corporation that is headquartered in Washington, DC. Though based in DC, HHAG has a Brownsville local office that serves the West Tennessee area. Since its onset in 2010, HHAG has lived up to its motto of “bridging the gap in healthcare.” HHAG partners patients up with a nurse that goes into the exam room with them. The nurse absorbs the details of the visit, provides any additional treatment education, and addresses any questions immediately after the visit.

“Often times a patient does not ask questions because they do not know what to ask. They may acknowledge that they understand, but secretly does not. That is where HHAG “bridges the gap.” I am so excited that Dr. Obi has partnered with us (HHAG). Deciding to pilot this initiative in Brownsville was a hard decision to make on my part. I did not know how receptive the physicians would be to onboard. Let alone, how receptive the patient population would be,” said HHAG Founder/CEO Marquette Carney. “Through this partnership, we can make patients and patients’ families more knowledge, more responsible, and above all healthier. If your doctor is not partnered with HHAG, I employ you to encourage them to if you feel that you need someone advocating on your, or a family member’s, behalf.”

Dr. Obi is located at 1215 E. College St, Brownsville, TN. HHAG staff can be reached at 731-215-7171 or www.helpinghands.com

Roses Unread started as a variety of small projects with different musicians around the Brownsville area. But offi cially the beginning of the group came together in 2007 when vocalist Allison Teague and bassist Jordan Shempert from Ripley started jamming and writing together. Guitarists John Purifoy and Justin Rublatius, both Memphis natives, soon joined their ranks and began working on a debut CD rightfully titled, The Commencement, which was a combination of songs from Allison’s earlier endeavors as well as original material the band had written with its current lineup. After experimenting over the years with a couple of different drummers and building up both a strong local following and an impressive worldwide online following, Roses Unread recruited Justin “Caveman” Hester from Henderson and began working on their second album entitled, Until We Meet Again.

Over the past few years, the band has evolved from a humble group of kids in a shed to a powerhouse that intends to take the world by storm. Their songs are intense, driving, melodic, and catchy all rolled into one.

As far as infl uences go, all have a love for Rock’n’Roll, although they all come from

different branches within that genre. In the end, it all comes together and everyone puts their own spin on it, which makes it unique.

Roses Unread have been working on their new album since June 6, 2011 out of Atoka with producer Andy Kunkel. They hope to release it within the next month. The album is in remembrance of Joyce “Honey” Patton.

“The cover will have a little girl on the front like me, looking up at the sky looking for someone she’s lost and there is a constellation of stars in the shape of our logo in the sky. There is a song on the album called Room 312, which is about someone who has passed away in a nursing home.” Teague said.

“To me,the album was going to get written and recorded no matter, but when Honey passed she was like a grandmother to most of us, and to everyone she ever met, and to me made these songs a lot more personal” Purifoy said.

The theme of this album in general is overcoming obstacles and tragedies within your own life and coming out even stronger than you were before. Every song on the album is about dealing with something that mostly everyone will go through one time or another. According to Roses Unread, the album is very diverse and unique. The idea was to not let every song sound

the same; they wanted to be able to cater to several generations.

“There’s defi nitely something on the album for everybody to hear.” Purifoy said.

“With the new album, its not going to be where you listen to one song and hear the same song every time. Each song has a different feel to them.” Hester said.

Roses Unread works hard every day because their fans are receptive, love what they do and they want to make their fans happy. If it’s a song that they don’t like to play or play anymore, then they will play it just to make their fans happy. No matter how many bad shows they play, when they have that one good show that’s what makes it all worth it. It gives them that feeling that next weekend is going to be just as good or even better; it is something that they thrive on. “We do it cause we love it” Rublatius said.

Roses Unread has played in other states surrounding Tennessee. They basically will go wherever as long as they will be given gas money and something to eat and of course time permits. The band has played numerous benefi ts for the Ronald McDonald House, Lebonhuer, Relay for Life and various others. They will also be returning to this year’s Fall Fest.

“It’s really cool to have your hometown support you and come out and

invite you back to events in the town” Purifoy said.

They are willing to play any benefi t as long as they know the money is actually going to help someone.

Roses Unread will be having a CD release show in Jackson either late October or early November.

“Its going to be amazing everyone needs to come to it.” Purifoy said.

Roses Unread has a few CDs they sell, as well as numerous amounts of merchandise; usually they set up a booth run by family members of the band. Some items include T-Shirts, dog tags, stickers, wristbands, feather earrings, cozies, magnets, posters, other clothes accessories, key chains, pens and the merchandise just seems to keep coming.

As an artist you can have thousands of followers, but if there is no support then eventually its just going to cease to exist. Roses Unread do their part to try and get people interested to support them, as well as supporting their favorite bands when they aren’t performing. Between the economy and gas prices its tough driving back and forth just for an empty room.

“Liking a band and talking about a band isn’t enough, you need to support your band by going out and seeing them and buying their merchandise.” Purifoy

said.“To me in the past few

months the shows seem to be going really well and picking up; not sure if it’s the economy and that people don’t have the money to do much else but since the shows have been free they’ve been packed.” Allison’s father David Teague said.

“Between the internet and karaoke bars it’s hard to compete.” Purifoy said.

Despite the wide verity of uses the internet has to help them,i t also is used to hurt them. Competition is heavy now.

“The internet can hurt you and help you at the same time. Anyone can go out and record a demo and put it on the internet, and because of that the competition is so high it’s easy to get over looked unless you stand out.” Purifoy said.

It’s a family collaboration, everyone

has a part. From helping unload and load equipment, to running the merchandise booths or even taking pictures. Without family and friends to help, they feel they wouldn’t be where they are now.

“With out them we couldn’t do it” Teague said.

“We’re ready to play every weekend just like they are.” Allison’s father Dave Teague said.

Roses Unread sells through any online music site. You can catch them online at facebook.com/rosesunreadband or reverbnation.com/rosesunread. Also tune in to 100.1 the SL 100 Homegrown Rock Show Sunday nights from 9pm-11pm for interviews and to hear some of their music.

If your home has single-pane windows, as many U.S. homes do, consider replacing them with new double-pane windows with high-performance glass (e.g., low-e or spectrally selective). In colder climates, select windows that are gas fi lled with low emissivity (low-e) coatings on the glass to reduce heat loss. In warmer climates, select windows with spectrally selective coatings to reduce heat gain. If you are building a new home, you can offset some of the cost of installing more effi cient windows because they allow you to buy smaller, less expensive heating and cooling equipment.

Brownsville and Haywood County merchants invite areas children to “Trick or Treat with Me” on Monday, October 31, from 4-7 p.m. The annual event is sponsored by the Brownsville Business Association (BBA) and has become a favorite among children and adults.

The event began in 2008 when BBA members recognized a need for a safer alternative to traditional trick or treating. By remaining open later and offering

this service to the children, merchants feel that they are providing a safer environment for the young people of our community.

“The kids still get to experience the excitement of going door-to-door,” explains BBA President Albert Campbell, “and the parents have the piece of mind of knowing this is a lot safer than visiting homes and neighborhoods they are not familiar with.”

“Trick or Treat with Me” is open to children ages 12 and under and each child

is encouraged to dress in his or her favorite costume. Parents will recognize participating merchants by the purple and orange “Trick or Treat with Me” poster in windows. Last year over 20 businesses stayed open for this special event.

For more information, or to sign-up your business to participate, contact the BBA at 731-780-5144 or e-mail: [email protected]. Interested businesses should contact the BBA before October 15, 2011.

2011 “Trick or Treat with Me” date announced

Brownsville merchants participating in this year’s “Trick or Treat with Me” will be posting this sign on their windows and doors. The event is planned for Monday, October 31, from 4-7 p.m.
