It was Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu who once said “A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.”

Those words seem somewhat appropriate for National Traveling and Tourism week, which began last week on Thursday May 3 and will end this Sunday May 13. The West Tennessee Delta Heritage Center decided to christen the week with a special proclamation signing that involved Brownsville Mayor Jo Matherne, Stanton Mayor Alan Sterbinsky and Haywood County Mayor Franklin Smith.

“I thought it fi tting that to kick off National Travel

and Tourism Week, we’d have our mayors sign the proclamation,” Heritage Center Director Sonia Outlaw-Clark said.

Attendees were welcomed with the acoustic guitar sounds of Grover Westover before moving to watch the three mayors’ signing.

It was perhaps also fi tting that the proclamation take place at the center, especially considering what will be going on at the location this summer.

For one, the center is still getting ready to add a special kiosk, Clark said. It will be touch screen interactive and offer a plethora of information on Brownsville. Travelers will have no problem learning of the local businesses and events the county offers.

In fact, the attendees got a taste of how the center will make information sharing on Brownsville easier for travelers by providing special paper “passport” booklets.

The center also acquired Flagg Grove School, which is the childhood school of international legend Tina Turner. The post Civil War, African-American one-room schoolhouse is originally based in Nutbush, Tennessee. Clark noted that they’re already opening bids for the school’s move to the center.

Yet the one incident that is speedily coming up is the second annual Exit 56 Blues Fest. The music-centered event will take place from 1 to 10 p.m. on Saturday May 26 and will also include a

car cruise-on and arts and crafts.

Acts this year include Blind Red Rooster, Eric Hughes, Theo D, Sean “Bad” Apple, Blueshine Duo, Sleepy’s Jug Band All Stars, Elmo & the Shades and Hannah Smith.

Perhaps residents will take advantage of the week and travel to the impressive number of museums and tourist spots in the city and state.

After all, Tennessee tourism generates $14.1 billion in economic impact and continues to be a major economic driver for the state, providing $1 billion in state and local sales tax revenue.

So believe it or not, it is big business.

Traffi c stop leads to drug arrestBY: CALVIN [email protected]

A traffi c stop resulted in a drug arrest for Brownsville Police Offi cers earlier this week.

On Tuesday, May 8 BPD Offi cers arrested Derail Nathaneal Shaw, 20, after they found nine individually packaged bags of marijuana. He was charged with possession of marijuana with intent.

Shaw’s arrest is the latest in drug related crimes in the city.

In late April, BPD arrested Shawann Bradshaw, 19, on Penny Lane near Haywood High with 60 grams (2.14 ounces) of marijuana. Offi cers were acting on a tip. Bradshaw was been charged with possession of schedule six with intent.

Also in late April, a narcotics search warrant was executed for 1063 Tambell at the Brownsville Apartments. Marcus Taylor was taken in custody outside of the residence and found to have 12 grams of marijuana in pocket individually bagged for resale. Inside

City passes second reading on church rezoningAldermen talk of trash pick-upBY: CALVIN [email protected]

The Brownsville City Board of Mayor And Aldermen met for their monthly meeting at City Hall, Tuesday May 8.

Among the items on the agenda discussed was the second reading and passing of Ordinance #891, which would allow property owned by First United Methodist Church to be reclassifi ed from Medium Density Residential to Central Business. The property is located at 114 Church Street, and with the zoning change will allow the church to build a gym. After some time for public discussion, Aldermen passed the reading.

The board also passed Resolution #829 which would allow an update to Title VI regulation of the Civil Rights Acts. Mayor Matherne noted that it’s really more of a “housekeeping request” as the last one signed six years ago, and an update is needed in order to acquire future grants. The language is unchanged from the last resolution, and this time will include the signatures of the current city administration.

The board also passed Resolution


“Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth,”

--George Washington letter to James Madison, March 2, 1788

The Brownsville Exchange Club held a special meeting last Wednesday, May 2 to reveal a Freedom Shrine recently put up in the Haywood County Justice Complex.

With a welcome and prayer from Brownsville Exchange Club President Leon King, a presentation of colors followed by the Haywood High School ROTC.

After the pledge, Martin Jelinek, President of the Tennessee District of the Exchange Club gave the Freedom Shrine Dedication Address.

Born in the Czech Republic and raised a bit in Canada, Jelinek shared the story of his family’s move to the U.S. Jelinek’s story of his father being forced to move their family for a chance at freedom this country often takes for granted helped reinforce the purpose of the Freedom Shrine. Jelinek noted the importance of freedom and as something that this country should always be appreciative of.

“The gift that we share

is the gift of freedom…It is truly something I hope none of you take for granted,” he said.

Given what the Freedom is, it should help local residents remember what our country has worked hard to achieve.

The Freedom Shrine is a collection of copies of 29 original historic American documents displayed together. It is meant as a way to not only remind us of where our freedom is rooted—determination, sacrifi ce and idealism have given birth to it—but to

also reinforce the idea that freedom must be continually guarded and protected.

“It continually reminds us of the great debt we owe to millions of Americans that gave life for our freedom,” Jelinek said. “It also shows that freedom comes at a cost.”

After a few more recognitions of city and county offi cials, the program closed with a special lunch for attendees.

Attendees also got the chance to get a better look at the Shrine, which was put up thanks also to

Justice Complex Supervisor Raymond Starks. It sits between the two main courtrooms of the center, where circuit, chancery, and general sessions take place.

Judges J.R. Reid, Clayburn Peeples and Chancellor George Ellis couldn’t have been prouder to have the shrine so close to their places of court work.

“In this polarized and political time, there couldn’t be a better way to remember who we are and where we came from,” Peeples said.

Many gathered outside the Haywood County Courthouse to participate in this

year’s National Day Of Prayer. On Thursday, May 3, residents from all walks of life and

denominations prayed together on a variety of issues both internal and external.

The National Day Of Prayer has a deep history in the U.S.

In 1952, a joint resolution by Congress and signed by President Harry Truman declared an annual National Day

Of Prayer.In 1988, the law was

amended and signed by President Ronald Reagan permanently setting the day as the fi rst Thursday of every May. Now each

year, the president signs a proclamation encouraging all Americans to pray on this day.Photos By Calvin Carter

If you’re looking to help in the battle against Cancer, then you may have an opportunity by fl ushing it down.

No, you read that right.While getting ready for

the upcoming Relay For Life, which will take place June 9, on the court square, this year’s chairman Kenny Ellington has got an interesting way to help raise funds.

Pictured are two purple toilets with the message “Help Relay for Life FLUSH Away Cancer.” And you might just wake up to fi nd one of the toilets in your lawn. That’s right, for a $25 donation, you can have one of these toilets put onto someone’s lawn for no more than two days.

If you’re the unfortunate victim with the hard-to-miss commode in their yard, then for $15 you can

have it removed as soon as possible. Ellington even noted that they’re selling $25 insurance to prevent the toilets from being on your lawn.

Ellington, while looking for fundraising ideas decided to try this after

seeing it work in Memphis and Jackson.

“I fi gured this would be something cool and interesting to do,” he said.

All of the money raised will go to the American Cancer Society.

The world’s largest

grassroots fundraising movement, Relay For Life mobilizes communities throughout the country to celebrate people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and provide participants with an opportunity to fi ght back against the disease. Relay For Life

brings together friends, families, businesses, hospitals, schools, faith-based groups . . . people from all walks of life – all aimed at furthering the American Cancer Society’s vision of creating a world with less cancer and more birthdays.

For more information,

contact Kenny Ellington, Relay For Life of Haywood County event chair, at 772-1551 or 780-3113. For additional information on Relay For Life or the American Cancer Society, call 1-800-227-2345 or (731) 512-5008, or visit cancer.org or relayforlife.org/haywood.

The city will also hold a budget workshop for the 2012-2013 budget. The workshop will take place noon, at City Hall June 8 and will be open to the public. The board is aiming to have the budget ready for its fi rst reading for

next month’s mayor and aldermen meeting.

The reported that through the FEMA Disaster Mitigation Program, seven properties On Iola Street have been closed, with six more expected to follow. The city will start looking at bids for demolition of the buildings on the property.

The mayor also talked about Phase Two of the Court Square project taking place, which include reworking the sidewalks on the fi rst block of East Main, repaving bypass area that leads towards Ripley/Covington, and repair work on the steps near All That’s Victoria on the square.

In other news, the subject of trash pick-up came up again, starting with Aldermen Leon King noting the numerous

concerned phone calls he’s received in his Ward. While an Ordinance was on regulations concerning trash pick-up in the city was presented at last month’s meeting, the board decided to table it in hopes of having further discussion.

“To get it back to the way it was, it would cost us more than we can afford,” Matherne said. The City Beautiful Committee has requested a meeting with the board to discuss the matter.

And fi nally, according to City Building Inspector Jerry McClinton, Precision Coil is moving all of its equipment and could be operational in a few weeks. Milano’s Pizza is also currently moving its equipment in the old Corner Drug building.

FOR HAYWOOD COUNTYInvitation to Stella Jelks Home Dedication @ 10 am on May 12, 2012

Dedication Place @ 1018 Monroe, Brownsville, TN Habitat for Humanity of Tennessee (HFHT) has built a solid relationship with Tennessee Housing Development Agency (THDA). In November 2010, HFHT began a two year statewide project Coming Back Home where current Habitat Homeowners and legislators have been working along the side of local affiliates to provide housing for the elderly or those with special needs.

Ms. Stella Jelks is Habitat for Humanity of Haywood County recipient that will benefit from the THDA Coming Back Home program. Not only will this program provide Ms. Stella Jelks a stable new home she owns while making monthly home loan payments to Habitat to help build more homes but also an additional 165 children and adults will be provided this same opportunity across the State of Tennessee with the THDA support Coming Back Home program.

Habitat for Humanity of Haywood County would like to thank all donors and sponsors in participating with us on providing affordable homes. It is humbling to know that we live and work in a community that helps neighbors in need. Most touching of all is the realization of what we can accomplish when we work together to make a lasting difference in our community.


Although summer is peering right behind its sibling spring, the opportunity for cleaning has never left.

Residents took advantage of that fact last Saturday, May 5 from 8 to 10 a.m. as a clean up effort for Ward 2 took place.

Headed by Ward 2 City Alderman and Vice-Mayor Carolyn Flagg, a team consisting of city and county employees, the Brownsville Police Department, student volunteers, AFROTC members, City Mayor Jo Matherne and Ward 2 residents banded together to clean up some of the Ward’s neighborhoods. There were also clean up supplies provided thanks to Haywood County Solid Waste Department Director Clinton Neal.

“Some of these homes were affected by the [2010] fl oods, and we wanted to show the residents here

that we haven’t forgotten about them,” Flagg said. “We are trying to make a difference.”

Specifi cally, the clean up took place on Carver Street, South Park Avenue, Haywood Street, Rawls Street and South Bond Avenue. Flagg noted that there were 25 people, total, who participated in the clean up, which caused the job to fi nish earlier than expected. Flagg had originally projected completion at noon. But with the crowd broken into smaller groups, the project fi nished two hours ahead of schedule.

Perhaps one of the clean up’s greatest effects, however, was the inspiration it served to some of the residents in the mentioned neighborhoods. Walking around after the clean up, you could fi nd some residents tackling their own homes with rakes, trash bags and gloves.

Ward 2 has a clean up

Off the Beaten Path

What to leave in? What to leave out? The columnist’s dilemma. That’s almost always the way it is, because when you write a column, the fi rst draft is nearly always too long. Sometimes you set out to write about fi ve things and run out of space on the fi rst, and at other times you put it all in and fi nd out the column is twice as long as it is supposed to be.

So you start whacking out words and phrases. (“Killing babies”, some writers term it.) Usually what you’ve written is more readable because of the deletions, but it’s still hard, especially if you are really interested in what you’re writing about.

Take last week’s column, for example. Most of it was about a book written 14 years before the RMS Titanic sank that featured another doomed ocean liner that also sank, and the fi ctional account, written more than a decade before the Titanic was even built, contained so many eerie similarities to the actual event that many people think something paranormal was going on. It seems that in addition to casting a long, long shadow, 100 years so far, the Titanic may have cast a foreshadow as well.

But as I said last week, normal people don’t believe in the paranormal. There’s got to be a rational explanation. Right?

Maybe, but that book is not the only odd thing connected to the Titanicthat occurred before its doomed maiden voyage. Take, for example, the writings of one W. T. Stead, a muckraking British journalist and publisher in the late 19th and early 20th

Centuries. He is known by historians now as the world’s fi rst investigative journalist.

He was also, it seems, prescient. In 1886 he published a story about a British mail steamer. (The Titanic was a mail steamer. RMS stands for Royal Mail Steamer.) His fi ctional ship sank in the Mid-Atlantic, and more

than half its passengers lost their lives due to a shortage of lifeboats. In Stead’s story, the ship’s captain brandished pistols to keep the steerage passengers from storming the lifeboats. According to some reports, this actually happened, 26 years later, on the Titanic.

Then, in 1892, Stead wrote another story in which a ship rescued survivors of another ship that had collided with an iceberg.

In addition to being a newspaper publisher, Stead was a world famous pacifi st, and in the spring of 1912, President William H. Taft invited him to America to address the World Peace Conference, to be held in April, in Madison Square Garden. Stead accepted, and despite having been warned by a psychic (He also was a spiritualist.) that he would be involved in a “catastrophe on the water,” he booked passage to America on the Titanic. He was among those who perished.

In 1908, before construction began on the real Titanic, an Irish novelist wrote a story about a ship actually named Titanic, which he described as, “the largest and fastest passenger boat afl oat.”

And then, just before the actual Titanic sailed, a British writer wrote a story about an 800-foot long ocean liner (The Titanic was 882 feet) that sank upon striking an iceberg while traveling at 22 knots, (the Titanic’s speed was 22.5 knots.) Again, a large number of passengers perished due to an insuffi cient number of lifeboats.

Then there were the premonitions about the sailing. Of course, it’s easy to fi nd plenty of people who “knew” something was going to happen after a shocking event,

but many cases have been authenticated regarding the Titanic. One of the engineers refused to go on the voyage because he had a “hunch” that disaster lay ahead. Financier J.P. Morgan, one of the ship’s owners, had booked passage on the doomed voyage, but cancelled upon being warned against it. George Vanderbilt, builder of the Biltmore Mansion, and his wife Edith, were booked, but switched ships because a relative warned them against it. Their bags were already on the ship, however, so he sent his personal valet on the voyage to look after them. He died.

The wife of the manager of the comptroller’s offi ce of the ship begged him not to go, but he sailed anyway and went down with the ship.

Altogether, more than 50 people had premonitions of the disaster. One of them, the sister-in-law of yet another Vanderbilt, this one Alfred, talked him and his wife into canceling their voyage, but ironically, three years later he perished on another ship, the RMS Lusitania when it was sunk by a German torpedo. Seems you can only cheat death so long.

Within two weeks of theTitanic’s sinking, more than 6,900 people claimed to have “just missed” sailing on the doomed voyage, most of them obviously making their stories up, but now they’re gone too. They’re all gone, survivors and victims alike, and the greatest ocean liner ever built lies 2,000 feet beneath the North Atlantic Ocean.

But it sails on in our collective imagination, a grim, tragic and terribly romantic reminder of the ultimate folly of relying on the technologies of man.

Best to place our faith elsewhere.

Foreshadows

There’s an episode of Family Guy where character, Stewie, convinces Brian to “work” for his company, in exchange for paying off a loan spent on Worm medication.

In one particular scene, Stewie, humorously upset with Brian’s performance in the makeshift offi ce, decides to talk of Brian’s fl aws while also attempting to sugarcoat the occasion by immediately shooting out his employee’s positive qualities.

The premise, along with Stewie’s apparent struggle to fi nd anything remotely relevant to the positive fi le, is hilarious. But perhaps that’s because of the anvil of truth it directly strikes.

How many times have we found ourselves in that scenario? Whether it was the role of a boss talking to an employee, a friend chatting with a buddy, or a boyfriend/girlfriend dealing with their signifi cant other, we’ve all been in that situation.

Often times, while bringing to light the fl aws or wrongdoings of people in our lives, we sometimes feel the need to immediately cushion them with some type of positive reinforcement. Yet the method of sugarcoating depicted in the mentioned Family Guy scene is a wrong way to establish that positive reinforcement.

It often happens due to the fear of bringing down a person’s self-esteem. We might mean well, but inherently, it’s a selfi sh action. You see, no one wants to be the bad guy; play the role of the dream-killing villain when we say, “You’re wrong for this action.”

But at times we must. And in the hopes of taking the sting away from the situation, we hit with sentences that begin with “…But you’re still…”

We are cushioning the situation but only for ourselves.

If you really want to help someone, you should try motivating

and inspiring that person to change. Yes, bring up the fl aws, and to a degree, add in what they do right, but continue with the fact that the only reason you’re bringing their wrongdoing up, is because you know that they can do better.

A person won’t change unless they believe that they can, or they’re motivated to do so.

It’s time to stop laying down the safety net and just push.

Sugar Not So Sweet

I get many emails per day and can’t always read them all. However, there are many to come along that do get my attention. There is one in particular about a puppy that was born with great physical challenges.

This particular puppy was born on Christmas Eve in the year 2002. He was born with three legs. His two hind legs were perfectly healthy and productive. He only had one abnormal front leg, which needed to be amputated. Needless to say, he couldn’t walk when he was born. Even his mother did not want him. His fi rst owner also did not think he could survive and gave considerable thought to putting the young pup to sleep. It was along about this time that his present owner, Jude Stringfellow, looked upon him with great compassion and wanted to take care of him.

She was bound and determined to train and teach the dog to walk by himself. Therefore, she named him “Faith.” Before long she put her long-range hope for Faith into practice. It would come to be a long and trying process.

Her fi rst step was to place Faith on a

surfboard in order to let him feel the movements. Later, she used peanut butter on a spoon as a lure and reward for him to stand up and jump around. There was another dog in the home that even got into the act and helped to encourage Faith to walk.

According to the owner, the dog’s progress was so miraculous that it took only about six months before Faith was walking. The result was nothing short of a miracle. Faith learned to balance on his two hind legs and jumped to move forward. After additional training in the snow, he was able to walk like a human being.

It has been most interesting to see the success story and training progress unfold in pictures. Faith loves to walk around now. No matter where he goes, he just attracts all the people around him.

As the news of his story spreads, he is now becoming famous on the international scene. His story has appeared in numerous newspapers and on various television shows. There is even one book entitled “With a little faith” published

about him. He was even considered to be in one of the Harry Potter movies.

Jude Stringfellow, his owner, has given up her teaching post and plans to take him around the world to preach that “even without a perfect body, one can have a perfect soul.” The following is a quote from Inspirational Challenge Quotes that offers some possible challenges regarding problems:

“Some people get annoyed and frustrated when ‘problems’ arise, but the smart and successful view these occurrences as challenges. They see something to overcome, to put their best foot forward. These challenges help to refi ne the person you are becoming by polishing your skills and preparing you for what’s next. Challenges are a part of growth; they are helpful and when viewed with that understanding can become a powerful ally.” Norman Vincent Peale once encouraged us to “Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them.” You will fi nd they haven’t half the strength you think they have.

Well, as we get into the hay-cutting season, I found a little information that may help some livestock producers with protecting this precious and expensive commodity. In this economy, it is prudent to keep your hay and hard work from going up in fl ames.

With higher yearly temperatures, farmers must avoid any loss of feed for their cattle, especially loss of hay.

“All hay must be dry before baling,” said Dr. Clyde D. Lane Jr.,

professor and beef cattle Extension specialist at the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture. “Wet hay in a bale provides the ideal location for spontaneous combustion to occur.”

Just like any other plant, hay or dried grasses, respires to live. “Store hay in the bard only after respiration has stopped,” said Lane. “Use a compost thermometer to monitor the temperature of several bales over time; when the temperature drops and stabilizes, respiration has ended.”

Any hay bale that is less than 130 degrees is

fi ne to stay in the barn, but a bale that is over 150 degrees must be removed to a cool area. However, any hay bale that reaches the 170-degree mark and above must be removed with the local fi re department on standby. At this point a fi re is imminent.

Producers should work hard to prevent hay fi res,” said Lane. “Not only is there a loss of value from the burned hay, there is an additional cost to replace the hay that will be needed by the beef herd.”

da Vinci SurgeryA More Precise, Less Invasive Surgical Procedure

If your doctor recommends hysterectomy, ask about minimally invasive da Vinci Surgery.

State-of-the-art da Vinci Surgery requires just a few tiny incisions. The enhanced vision, precision, dexterity and control of da Vinci allows your doctor to perform an advanced laproscopy and hysterectomy even for women with complex cases. da Vinci Hysterectomy offers women many potential benefits over traditional open surgery.

The Enabling Technology: da Vinci Surgical System

The da Vinci Surgical System is designed to provide surgeons with enhanced capabilities, including high-definition 3D vision and a magnified view.

Your doctor controls the da Vinci System, which translates his or her hand movements into smaller, more precise movements of tiny instruments inside your body.

Though it is often call a “robot,” da Vinci cannot act on its own. Instead, surgery is performed entirely by your doctor.

Together, da Vinci technology allows your doctor to perform complex procedures through just a few tiny openings. As a result, you may be able to get back to your life without the usual recovery following major surgery.

The da Vinci System has been used successfully worldwide in hundreds of thousands or procedures to date.

The Agape Bible College in Brownsville, would like to announce its Commencement Ceremony that took place on Friday, April 27 at the Agape Christian Center in West Memphis, AK.

Happy Anniversary! It is hard to believe that the Elma Ross Public Library building is 20 years old. Wow. We are also celebrating the 100th anniversary of Library Service in Haywood County. That’s right – 100 years! It has been a century of learning, growing, reading and gathering at the library. We have had some spectacular times here at the library and we want to celebrate these milestones with you. Please come by and celebrate with us this Thursday, May 10 from 4 – 6 p.m. here at the library.

Haywood County has had a rich library history here. Here is a brief record of the libraries of Brownsville and Haywood County. Thanks to Mayor John Bomer and philanthropist Mr. Andrew Carnegie, the Carnegie Library located in Brownsville, came to fruition on West Main Street in 1910. The building was not opened as the library until 1912, as it took a little while to get materials and staff in place. In the 1950s the Carnegie Library of Brownsville, became a part of the State of

Tennessee Regional Library System and was renamed the Brownsville-Haywood County Library. By the late 1980s the Carnegie Library/Brownsville-Haywood County Library building was bulging at its seams. Mr. Dick Ross approached the library director with a proposal for a new library. If the city and county would provide matching funds, Mr. Ross would supply the seed money for a new library with the condition that it be named for his wife, Mrs. Elma. A deal like that could not be ignored! Therefore, in 1992, the Elma Ross Public Library was opened at its new location on East Main Street. We are very happy to be serving you here at our library. We have a beautiful building, recently renovated thanks to Haywood County, the City of Brownsville and the Elma Ross Public Library Board of Trustees. Library services haven’t changed too much over the last 100 years. We will continue to have books, magazines and newspapers. Plus, we have added books on cassette and CD

and movies on VHS and DVD as well as computers with Internet access and a wireless hotspot for people’s use. We have gone from a paper copy card catalog to an on-line catalog. But one thing will always stay the same. The staff of the library is here to assist the patrons of Brownsville and Haywood County to fi nd the information that you need, whether it is for pleasure or for work.

Thank you for a wonderful 100 years and here’s to at least 100 more! Happy Anniversary Elma Ross Public Library.

Community & Church NewsJason Velotta - Christ Church

“For if you live according to the fl esh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.” Rom. 8:13 In 70 A.D. the Roman army surrounded Jerusalem with the intent of destroying the city (which they eventually did.) They surrounded the city and refused to let anyone out, or let any food in. Famine ensued. People couldn’t eat and they started dying. The bodies began piling up and this led to disease. This is how believers fi ght sin. We starve it. The reason many lose the battle against sin is because they have continually allowed the beast to enter through their eyes and ears… and he feeds. He feeds on the bikini commercials and the Abercrombie billboards. He feeds when you drive past a beautiful home and covet it. He feeds and feeds… and grows strong. When he rises up, he simply devours. But you are no longer his slave, believer. You can kill him. You starve the fl esh to death by the

power of the Holy Spirit.

Martha Bartel would like info on Fanny Harrison, who came to farm near Cageville in 1835-1849 and husband, either Curtis or Francis Marion Harrison (possibly a brother of Curtis). She was listed a widow in 1850 and 1860 census there with her son, Daniel on the tax list before moving to Coal Creek area by 1870. I can’t fi nd her or her husband’s grave, not in Grace Cemetery with children - so could be in Cageville. Can someone help me with these?

Holly Grove News“Beware of Seduction of

Apostasy or Idolatry” was the subject of the message. The fi rst commandment declared God was, Thou shalt have no other gods before Me. Those gods were not gods at all. Spiritual adultery is a serious sin when Christians wander away from the true God and give allegiance to anything or anyone else other than Jehovah God. Only God deserves our worship. It’s not what we believe, but in Whom we believe and worship is the determining factor. Vickie Simpson Bonawit sang special music and did a great job. Christen Leach was welcomed into the church fellowship on profession of her faith and was baptized that night.

We are happy to report that we surpassed our $2000 goal for Home missions. Ten women from the church attended the Women of Faith, two-day conference at First Alamo last week. Congratulations to our High School graduates, Gena Price, Josh McClinton, Samantha Kail, Cassie McCaslin, Drew Haynes, Summer

Jones and Tyler Tindle. On behalf of the church, they were presented with Bibles by Greg Baker, the Youth Director, and Brother Fred Campbell, and were honored with lunch at West Main Family Restaurant following services. College graduates are Rebekah Hopper from Union University, receiving a Bachelor’s Degree in Organization Leadership, Peggy Emison from West Tennessee Business College and Stephanie Climer from Tennessee Tech. and was pinned and acknowledged as an R.N. Jean Climer, among those attended.

The sick on the prayer list are Ruth Taylor, Bland Boyd, Butch Wilson, Dewey Jones who will probably be undergoing hip-replacement surgery soon, Dorsey Watridge, Jane Carr, Mark Stephens, Ouida Holt, Virginia Freels, Fletcher Lewis and Viola Brown. Brother Fred and Nancy Campbell are both improved. Also include Rosco Martin, Annalee Myers and Josh Parks.

Thanks to Ricky Hopper, Bob Alexander and Jerry Taylor for taking time off

and planting a vegetable garden for us and to David Peace for leaving his work on automobiles to work on our tractor and get it ready for the men to come and plant. What would we do without family and friends? Our adopted son, Bob Bond, came by and visited with Dewey Saturday afternoon.

Sign language is a beautiful language communicated with the hands. I enjoy signing with the choir or others as they sing. Little babies learn to sign before they learn to talk. They are told to say “Bye, Bye” and they lift their little hand and bend their fi ngers in response.

We express our heartfelt sympathy to Ike Sellari. She was a special person and will be sorely missed. Roy and Beverly Lewis visited with their son, Darin Lewis and wife and family in Owensboro, Ky. last weekend. We are happy to have Billy and Harriet Smith living in the Holly Grove Community. Harriet is the Haywood Baptist Associate Secretary and leads music at Allen Baptist.

Bethel - Belle Eagle NewsGraduation time is here

again and many children are looking forward to getting out of school for the summer or graduating and going into the real world. Jennifer Lane, daughter of Lynn and Tammy Lane and granddaughter of Darrell and Louquita Climer, will be graduating from Crockett County High School this May. Congratulations, Jennifer!

Last Saturday was “Clean Up Day” for the community, so volunteers gathered for a few hours of work. But since we have two great guys that work every day in our community, clean up was easy. So thank you to Kenneth Sargent and Charlie Greenway for all they do.

I just heard someone comment on how clean Stockdom Bottom is, so

people are really noticing. The Brownsville

Exchange Club cooked hamburgers and hot dogs at the mini-tractor pull that was held last Saturday night. All the proceeds from this event went to the Carl Perkins Child Abuse Center. A slight breeze helps when you’re standing over a hot grill.

Gaylon and Patricia Herron, Dede and Kenny Kendrick and Ruthie Lewis attended the Tennessee Academy All Class Reunion last Saturday night. They reported good attendance and a good time was had by all. It was great to see classmates they had not seen in years.

Kenneth and Bettye Sargent, and Jim and Rhonda Parks spent last week in Nashville. I heard a lot of shopping and eating

was done and just enjoyed being together.

Terri Knight had her dog, Sissy, put to sleep after being diagnosed with diabetes. Many of us have pets that we love dearly and this is a hard thing to go through.

Bethel Community Church was painted inside last week and is looking great. Thank you, Kenneth McBride, and his crew for a job well done. Tabernacle Methodist Church will be hosting their annual “Mother’s Day” dinner on the ground Sunday, May 13. Worship service will be at 11 a.m. with meal to follow.

Thought for the week: When a man gets too old to set a bad example, he starts giving good advice.

Sugar CreekRetirement Center News

By DeDeWe will be having a

Bake Sale on Friday, May 11 starting at 11 a.m. Don’t spend all your time in the kitchen preparing something sweet, just come by and get something for Mothers Day from Sugar Creek. All proceeds go to Relay for Life.

Felice M. is back from Crestview. Joan L. is in Physical Therapy at Jackson General. Bo P. is improving everyday. Carolyn F. is fi nally home. It is such a pleasure to see her smiling face where it needs to be. I just love to see her and Eleanor R. together, to know they have been friends for a lot of years, it is just really great.

May 18 we will be having a Hamburger and Hotdog Meal with all the fi xings. Cooking starts at 4:30 p.m. It is only a $5 donation for a burger or dog, chips, dessert and a drink. Call ahead for orders of fi ve or more, so we can have it ready for you. For those of you that are young at

heart, come stay and listen to Jimmy Stephens and the Rockabilly Band at 6:30. Any donations will be accepted at the door and will go toward Relay for Life.

Last week was National Pet Week, so Jessie H. met with all the residents for some trivia. Dorothy Windrow brought her puppy to visit with everyone. It was such a sweet doggie. Leslie Stoots came and called bingo and brought them some delicious cupcakes. Thanks Dorothy and Leslie.

Friday we had a little Cinco de Mayo going on. We had enchiladas with a salad for lunch. The residents enjoyed some virgin margaritas and bunuelos. Martha Cardinas, Maria’s sister, came and fi xed us up. We had some singing, a little dancing and a whole lot of fun. Thanks Martha for bringing us some extra fun on Friday.

This week is National Nurses Week. I met with

all the residents and had a little Nursing Trivia. Do you know who Florence Nightingale is? Nurses are held to a higher standard because of her and women like her. Be sure to tell your nurse how much she/he means to you and that she/he is doing a great job. You can always tell his/her boss how well she/he is doing and hint around that maybe they need a raise. Just kidding, really though, it takes a special calling to be a nurse. I’m thankful everyday God called me to be a Nurse. Woodland WMU’s rock! They brought donuts in honor of Nurse’s Week. You ladies are just too sweet. Now we are extra sweet after all those donuts. Thanks so much.

Our home is just down the street from everywhere, so come on out and visit us sometime. Come eat lunch with one of our residents. You may just decide to stay for a long while. What are you waiting for?

Stanton NewsWe wish you all mothers

a Happy Mother’s Day! I did a little research on the origins of our current Mother’s Day, and found the earliest historical records of a society celebrating a mother deity among the ancient Egyptians with the Goddess Isis being honored. The festival of Isis was also honored by the ancient Romans.

But, when it came to actually honoring real mothers, England began this tradition in the 1600’s but called it Mothering Day. Of course Americans had to do it their way and did away with Mothering Day due to lack of time (?) – that’s what it says – also that it confl icted with Puritan ideals of that time.

But, in 1870 a lady named Julia Ward Howe (who also wrote The Battle Hymn of the Republic), organized the Mother’s Day Proclamation. This proclamation called all Mother’s to ban together and protest the death

and bloodshed witnessed during the Civil War. Julia saw this as a senseless act of sons killing sons of other Mothers and called for an international Mother’s Day celebrating peace and motherhood. Julia’s Mother’s Day lasted until she stopped footing the bill for the festivities in many larger cities, only Boston continued for another ten years.

Ann Jarvis came along with another request for Mother’s Day in 1908, quitting her job and devoted all her time to promoting it. In 1914 Mother’s day was signed into national observance, declaring the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day by Woodrow Wilson

But the budding commercialization of Mother’s Day greatly disturbed Jarvis, so she vociferously opposed what she perceived as a misuse of the holiday. In 1923 she sued to stop a Mother’s Day event, and in the 1930’s she

was arrested for disturbing the peace at the American War Mother’s group.

Too late… Mother’s Day had already caught on and today over 70 countries observe the special day although some on different dates.

Wellwood/Zion NewsBrother Mark McSwain

baptized three people in three different services Sunday at Zion Baptist Church. Cathe Butler had guests with her in the early service to witness her baptism. Donnie and Bessie Elrod were guests of their granddaughter Emily in the second service and Maggie Brooks had her grandparents as guests Sunday night. Brother Mark delivered a dynamic sermon taken from I Peter focusing on, “Nothing but the blood of Jesus can purchase a sinner”.

Sara Littlejohn presented a preview of her trip to Romania Sunday night accompanied by Brother Mark’s presentation of his visit in Honduras. A love offering was taken for Sara’s trip and with the church donation, she totaled $1500. Congratulations, Sara!

Monday night Jimmy and I enjoyed a meal with our son Justin and his family. We then visited with my brother Tommy, who had a heart cath at Jackson General.

Mama (Alice Elrod) has not been feeling well, but is on the mend now that Dr. English gave her a new medicine. Although she missed the trip with

the seniors Tuesday, Ray Ellington said they had a great time in Milan.

“Our trust and our rest is in the Source, not the resource.” Brother Mark used this quote Wednesday night at Zion’s prayer meeting as we continued the study in Matthew 6, focusing on the “Model Prayer”.

Allen Outlaw reported 15 attended the community prayer breakfast and Brother Grover Westover led the devotion. Yes, this is identical to last week. If anyone would like to join this faithful group of men, they meet Thursday morning at 6 in Zion’s family life center.

Thursday night we enjoyed a visit with our son Jason and his family at David Howard’s home. Jason has been helping David with logging work at Johnny Taylor’s home.

We enjoyed a visit from Timothy Potter Friday night before leaving for Guard Duty. He is enjoying his job at Brownsville Utility. Mama spent the night with us and Tommy, Judy, and TJ Elrod came by and went to eat with us in Bells. We then watched our grandson Mason play ball.

Congratulations to Laura

Kirkpatrick, who won the accelerated reader award in her 3rd grade class at Trinity Christian Academy. She loves reading!

Thanks to all that helped with the cook out at the lake Saturday afternoon. There was plenty of food and fellowship. Calvin, Mike and Mark cooked a bunch of chicken, but there were many ladies involved as well! We raised $400 for renovations on the cabin at the lake. Also, thanks to Dare Simpson and Diane Wright for allowing the McSwains to stay in their rental house while they are here.

Don’t forget the wedding shower for Lauren Perry, (Jacob Ellington) in the home of Shirlene Mullen May 12 at 2 p.m. Recognition of graduates at Zion will take place May 20. VBS is coming soon with kickoff on May 30.

Please, continue to pray for our sick folks as well as our military personnel and their families, the shut-ins, those who have lost loved ones and the leaders of our country.

Our thought for the week: Don’t PRAY and WORRY, Simple enough!!!! Until next week... In All Things Still Be Blessed!!!!!!

By Marty Williams

Around TownWow! Things are

cookin’ and jammin’ in Brownsville!

J.T. Lea is not a happy camper at this time! Somehow, at the peak of baseball season, he has managed to break his arm! An Emergency Room trip was made, and he is now sporting a dazzling new orange cast, (UT) and having all his friends sign it! Of course, he might be benched for the rest of the season, unless the doctors let him come back in time for the state championship! His daddy, Jody and J.T., certainly hope so! Look out! We’ll be waiting J.T.!

Kathy and Jerry Ward’s daughter, Leigh, has taken on a new venture. Social South magazine is the brainchild of Leigh Reeves, who founded VIP Jackson Magazine in 2003 and recently teamed up with the Junior League of Jackson to create Mistletoe Magazine. To help achieve her vision, Leigh recruited friend and former colleague, Lacey Cain, to serve as editor. This talented duo has provided a place to see and be seen without ever having to leave your desk. Social South is your source for all things southern and fabulous. So start Social-izing South-ern style! It’s a magazine ‘For Southerners and those who adore us’ that covers events, design, style, culture, sport, travel, weddings, food in the southeast US (New Orleans, Memphis, Atlanta, Charleston, Nashville, Jackson, Birmingham and all points in between!) Does that intrigue you? It’s awesome!

The Tennessee Academy

All Class Reunion was held Saturday night. Approximately 200 people were in attendance. An excellent time was had by all! It was good to see classmates they had not seen in years. The classes ranged from 1972 to 1985. It was incredible to take a trip back in time to ‘orange and white,’ ‘Warhawk Country’! Many good memories were re-lived that night!

The Jackson Symphony was thrilled with what the Arts Council fed them for supper, between practices Saturday! It must have worked because they were marvelous Sunday afternoon! Thank you Mr. Jordan Tang for gracing us with your orchestra and talent!

Cinco de Mayo was also quite a hit Saturday evening! Their lineup of entertainment was terrifi c! There was food from one end of the square to the other if you got hungry! Congratulations to Vickie Cooper, BBA and others who worked so hard to make this a magnifi cent festival!

I saw Natalie Harwell Lane last week and she was so sad to have to come back to work this week and leave her precious Bennett!! She has loved every minute of taking care of baby

Bennett! I am willing to bet that Brownsville Day Care has already either seen her or received calls from her, checking on her precious baby boy! She and Eagle are amazingly elated parents, along with all of their friends and relatives! Bennett is an exceptional gift!

Hayes, Robert Campbell, Anneli Myers, Enid Powell, Fletcher Lewis, Shirley Morgan, the military, the nation and the community.

Our closing Thought for the Week is by Muriel Delong of Canada as published in the Upper Room Devotional. “While we wander, God waits in love.” We not deliberately take a wrong path, but the enticements and busyness of life can distract us, and cause us to wander from lose relationships with God. Sometimes we end up in unpleasant or even dangerous circumstances we wish we had avoided. We should all ask for God’s forgiveness in not giving top priority to Him in our lives and thank Him for when we do wander that he draws us back to Him.

Sympathy to the family of Mrs. Olga Sellari, Mrs. Charlene Thomas and Mr. Lawrence Randle in the loss of their loved one.

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

Until next week....God bless.

The Scott-Street Resource Center is still struggling to acquire enough funds to operate. But there are people that have taken notice of the center’s dire situation and tried to help. Last Saturday, May 5 was a prime

example as residents that live on Scott Street used their time, money, and energy to put on a special fundraising cookout for the center. From noon to four, hamburgers and hot dogs were grilled while the children played on a

fun bounce.If you would like to

help out the Scott Street Resource Center, you can send donations at P.O. Box 1026 in Brownsville, or call 731-770-1390.Photos By Calvin Carter

Scott Street Cookout

The Tennessee Titans Caravan made a stop at East Side Elementary on May 2 to bring a message to the students there and students from Haywood Elementary who traveled to East Side to see the Caravan and State Park Rangers. While waiting for the Titan Show to begin, the Tennessee State Park Rangers shared some birds of the wild with the students, including several owls, a hawk and a bald eagle.

This spring, Tennessee State Parks and the Tennessee Titans have partnered in a number of unique ways as part of an NFL “Play60” joint effort, encouraging kids to stay

active, eat healthy and become more physically fit – all the while enjoying one of Tennessee’s great 53 state parks. A highlight of the local NFL, “Play60” project includes 30 school visits planned throughout the state, pairing T-Rac, the Tennessee Titans award-winning mascot, with Ramble the Raccoon, Tennessee State Parks’ own beloved mascot.

As host Rhett Bryan and others with the Titans and the Parks Service set the stage to talk about the importance of building a healthy lifestyle, the Titans Mascot T-Rac appeared and entertained the students with his

antics. Later Mike Keith, the Voice of the Titans, interviewed Titans Tight End Jared Cook, who talked about his life choices that have given him success through

healthy living, bringing home the message: “Play60.”

The stop in Brownsville at East Side Elementary was chosen with the help of Baker Moore of Moore

Insurance.

Titans and Parks Service say “Play 60”

There was so much going on during Saturday, May 5 in Brownsville, including the second annual Cinco de Mayo event.

While Saturday may have proven busy for so many residents, the event still managed to pull in an impressive crowd.

Brownsville Mayor Jo Matherne opened the ceremony by also welcoming the crowd a bit in Spanish. The mayor also tried her hand at busting open a piñata, where all the children gathered to get candy.

There was a lot of activity

to behold from the event, from face painting to even a plethora charitable vendors. But what was perhaps the most impressive was the entertainment this year.

Cinco de Mayo featured entertainment acts from HCO2, a duet featuring Haywood’s Got Talent Winners Hannah and Clifton Smith, a duet from Roses Unread’s Allison Teague and John Mitchell, singer/songwriter Phil Sanders and Sam Flagg and Company.

The event closed at 10:30 p.m. with people literally dancing in the street

thanks to a Latino music group from Mexico, event organizer Vicky Cooper said.

With a variety of entertainment, and participation as diverse as the city, this year’s Cinco de Mayo tried serve as a melting pot to the different cultures offered here in Brownsville.

And with the positive feedback given to this year’s event, it looks as if next year’s event—according to Cooper it will happen again next year—will continue that tradition.

A historical season for the Haywood baseball team came to an end Saturday in the District 13-AA tournament.

Following a heartbreaking 3-2 loss at Covington on Friday night, a Haywood comeback fell just short in an elimination game Saturday at USA Stadium against Crockett County.

Haywood fell to the Cavaliers 6-4, ending the season at 21-16.

“We just came up a little short at the end,” said Haywood coach Chris Messer.

Crockett scored twice in the top of the seventh inning to go ahead 6-2.

In the bottom of the

Blake Porch had a pair of singles for the Tomcats and Taylor Jones singled and doubled. Jarron Bryant singled in a run, Houston Cozart doubled and Seth Birdsong drove in a run. Daniel Antwine and Thomas Currie each singled and Jarron Bryant drove in a run.

Jones struck out fi ve over six innings and Bryant pitched the seventh.

“The kids played well,” Messer said. “They laid it all on the line in all three (tournament) games.”

The Tomcats won 20 games for the fi rst time in the program’s history.

In other tournament games:

• Haywood opened up tournament play on Thursday at home with a 7-6 win over Crockett County.

Trailing 4-0, Haywood scored seven runs in the fourth inning and held off a late Crockett County rally.

Cozart tripled in two runs in the fourth inning. Jordan Fitzgerald drove in two runs with a single, Porch doubled and Blake Esquivias had a single.

Porch went six innings to earn the win and Birdsong pitched the seventh.

• The Tomcats led Covington 1-0 early and had some chances late in the game to score more, but fell 3-2.

Esquivias led off the

game with a triple and scored on a ground ball by Porch.

Currie had an RBI-double for Haywood in the fi fth inning.

In the sixth, Haywood put two baserunners on but could not score.

The Haywood track and fi eld team competed in their last regular season track meet last Thursday in Union City before sub-sectionals.

The 4x100 and 4 x 200 relay teams continue to have a successful season.

The 4 x100 relay squad led by Ebony Clark, Chelsi Jones, Chelsey Owens and Natasha Bommer brought home a bronze medal and the 4 x 200 relay also brought home a bronze medal while running the second fastest time of the year for Haywood. Clark, Owens, Bommer and Kayla Shaw were a part of the relay team.

“The 4x1 relay team should have won the race, but I had made a small change on the third exchange that cost the girls a gold medal,” said coach David Claybrooks III. “That’s no one’s fault but mine”. Freshman Dannon Eubanks ran a career-best in the 800 meters. Her time of 2:45 was good enough for a third place fi nish, which is a 14 second improvement from the previous track meet.

The boys’ team was led by several individuals and relay teams.

In the fi eld events, senior Chris Douglas jumped a career best of 5-10 for a fourth place fi nish.

Jalen Eillison jumped a personal best of 19-01.50 to bring home a silver medal.

On the sprint side, sophomore Justice Brown continues to show why he can hang with some of the best sprinters in West Tennessee. Justice ran a career-best in the 100 meters with a time of 11.10 while fi nishing fourth.

In the 200 he ran another career-best with a 23.3, bringing home the bronze medal.

Junior Darius Pirtle is starting to fi gure out the 300 hurdles. He dropped

three seconds from his personal record time earlier this season with a time of 43.7, which was good enough for a third place fi nish.

Equavious Barbee fi nished sixth in the event with a time of 45.9.

The boys 4 x100 and 4 x 200 relay teams ran their fastest times all year.

Pirtle, Douglas, Brown and Jalen Eillison dropped a full second from earlier this year with a fourth place fi nish in a time of 44.3.

The 4 x 200 relay ran a season best of 1:33.00 while fi nishing in fourth place.

The 4 x 800 relay ran their best race of the season, fi nishing tied for fi rst with Dyersburg.

Daniel Evans, Prince Williams, De’Marious Douglas and Joshua Wilson led the way.

“If anyone deserves a trophy it’s the distance team,” Claybrooks said. “Those kids had been working their tail ends off since August 15, 2011. Not once did these kids ever complain about practice, workouts or meets. It was always yes sir/no sir no matter what the situation was. Overall I am pleased with both teams’ performances.”

The West Sub-Sectional track and fi eld meet at Union City High School continues today and Haywood will be one of 17 schools competing.

Both teams will look to improve their fi nish from last season.

The boys’ teams fi nished in 6th with 26 points, while the girls’ team fi nished in a tie for 14th place with seven points. The top four athletes and relays in each event will qualify for West Sectional in Memphis on May 18.

Sub-sectionals up next for Haywood track
