County Commission votes 11-9 to form a Metro Charter CommissionBY JENNIFER [email protected]

The Haywood County Commission met Monday, May 20, in regular session.

The biggest item on the agenda for the commis-sioners to discuss was a resolution approving the formation of a Charter Com-mission for metro government.

Commissioner Jerry Smith moved the item, and Commission Samu-

el Mathes, Jr. seconded. Commissioner Allen

King began the discus-sion by expressing his concerns, which included which services would be combined, and whether or not the votes of city and county residents would be combined or separate.

Mayor Franklin Smith ex-plained that the votes would be tallied separately, and that the Charter Commission would have nine months to

write a charter, and that they would address the questions about combined services.

Commissioner King moved to table the mo-tion until they could hear from counties that have voted against metro gov-ernement, and Commis-sioner John Gorman sec-onded his motion. Mayor Smith stated that, according to proper procedures, he had to recognize Commis-sioner King’s motion before

it could be seconded, and that if the motion is tabled, it is essentially a dead issue.

The table motion failed on a vote of 13 to seven. Commissioners Allen King, Charles Wills, Richard Jame-son, Larry Stanley, John Gorman, Leonard Jones, and Robert Earl Thornton voted to table the motion.

Mayor Smith reminded the commissioners that if the vote fails at either the Haywood County or the

City of Brownsville level, the charter commission ef-fort will fail. Mayor Smith also said that the effort can be presented to the public if a petition is signed by ten percent of registered voters.

A roll call was taken after the discussion ended, and a fi nal vote of 11 to 9 was tak-en. The effort to form a Metro Government Charter Com-mission will now go before the City of Brownsville May-or and Board of Aldermen.

BPD arrests Williamson for rash of vehicle burglariesBY JENNIFER [email protected]

According to a press release from the Brownsville Po-lice Department, offi cers arrested 30-year-old Marcus Lewis Williamson, of 410 N. Wilson, for the rash of recent ve-hicle burglaries that have occurred over the last few weeks.

Offi cers arrest-ed Williamson at his residence, and found several sto-len items including a 32 GB iPad, two pairs of shoes, one polo type shirt, one pair of earrings, four pairs of sunglasses, eight cell phones of various brands, one pair of men’s sunglasses, and one pair of binoculars.

All of the recovered items are believed to be items stolen out of vehicles.

The total value of the items recovered was estimated to be more than $3,000, and pend-ing further investiga-tion, the dollar amount could be well over $5,000.

Williamson has been charged with one count of theft over $1,000, two counts of burglary to an auto, and one count of theft under $500 in relation to the bur-glaries that have occurred.

The police department also noted that the inves-tigation is still ongoing, and additional charges are expected to follow.

Williamson is being held at the Haywood County Jail.

Carl Perkins Center receives $10,000 donation from Crockett Mini-Pullers

Ed and Jan Cleek, both former members of the Crockett Mini-Pullers, presented Beth Wilson, Director of the Carl Perkins Center, with a check in the amount of $10,000 Friday, May 17. Members of the Crockett Mini-Pullers sold their business, and one of those members presented the idea to donate the money to local charities instead of splitting it up among themselves. The club had a little more than $13,000 to disperse, and gave the majority of the money to the Carl Perkins Center. They also donated $2,000 to the Senior Citizens Center in memory of James Staggs, and will also be making donations to Relay for Life and the Christmas Basket fund. Beth Wilson said, “We here at the Carl Perkins Center are so grateful for their generosity. We will defi nitely be able to put the funds to good use and it will help us provide services to families and children here in Haywood County.” Photo by Jennifer Willis

The party theme was... Clayton has O”fi sh”ially caught the big “one!” The party was held with friends and family at Darnaby World, the home of Steve (Go-fer), Nan, and Jennifer Darn-aby. Clayton and his friends had a blast and several kids and adults were able to catch their very fi rst fi sh, including Clayton! It is never too early to learn the importance of giving and we hope this money will bring a smile to a child’s face like Clayton had at his birth-day party. Clayton received $285.00 in monetary gifts that he generously donated to the Carl Perkins Center. On be-half of the children, the Carl Perkins Center would like to thank Clayton and the Pinner family for their unselfi sh act of kindness.

A Tennessee state trooper arrested a convicted felon from Texas on misdemeanor drug charges, traffi c charges, and a parole violation following a traffi c stop Thursday on Interstate-40 in Haywood County.

Trooper Grant Montgomery, who was assigned to work with the West

Tennessee Drug Task Force, stopped a 2012 black Ford Focus for a traffi c violation (following too closely) on eastbound I-40 near the 46-mile marker. The driver, Mark Alan Boger, 51, of Diana, Texas, did not have proof of fi nancial responsibility. Boger told the trooper he was unemployed, had left his father’s house

in Texas following a family fi ght, and was travelling to parts unknown to try and fi nd work and get a fresh start.

While speaking with Boger, Trooper Montgomery discovered that he had been convicted for especially aggravated armed robbery in Texas. Boger stated that he had completed 15 years

of a 40-year sentence and was on parole. Through further investigation, Trooper Montgomery discovered that Boger was, in fact, on parole and did not have permission to leave Texas. Trooper Montgomery also discovered that Boger had been allegedly smoking crack cocaine for the previous three days

and was in possession of a crack pipe, a violation of his parole and Tennessee law.

Trooper Montgomery contacted the Texas Department of Parole and Probation then arrested Boger for possession of drug paraphernalia, following too closely, and no proof of insurance. Trooper

Montgomery transported Boger to the Haywood County Jail. Boger appeared in court this morning in Haywood County. He waived extradition and is waiting to be transported back to Texas where he must complete the remaining 25 years of his original sentence in the Texas Penal System.

Five injured as a result of I-40 crashBY JENNIFER [email protected]

Emergency crews re-sponded to a reported accident with injuries at the 52 mile-marker of I-40 Friday, May 17, at around 12:30 p.m.

According to a re-port from the Tennessee Highway Patrol, a 1995 Ford Explorer, driven by 22-year-old Brandee Dykes of Marion, Ar-

kansas, was exiting off of I-40 at the 52 mile-mark-er eastbound exit ramp when, as a result of trav-eling too fast, her vehi-cle exited the roadway .

As the vehicle left the roadway, it be-gan to rotate in a clockwise direction, and eventually over-turned after traveling down an embankment.

All fi ve passen-gers were transported

to Jackson Madison County General Hos-pital by the Haywood County Ambulance Au-thority, and sustained only minor injuries.

The passengers were Rae Taylor, 21, of Mar-ion, Arkansas, Mor-gan Miller, 19, of West Memphis, Arkansas, Alicia Martinez, 26, of West Memphis, Arkan-sas, and Megan Petty, 20, of Marion, Arkansas. Photo by Jennifer Willis

Tennessee’s farmers and landowners can now sign up for the USDA’s Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP). The program is administered through the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). The WRP is a voluntary program offering landowners the opportunity to protect, restore, and enhance wetlands on their property. Tennessee landowners have until June 3, 2013 to sign-up for WRP funding.

“The program is designed to restore wetlands with the goal of maximizing wildlife benefi ts and recovering lost wetland functions and values,” stated Tennessee’s Acting State Conservationist John Rissler. “The Wetlands Reserve Program offers Tennesseans an opportunity to receive fi nancial incentives to

restore, protect, and enhance wetlands in exchange for retiring marginal land from agriculture. WRP funding will be awarded to eligible applicants based on environmental and economic rankings within the state.”

Eligible lands include those that are privately owned or tribal lands. The program offers easements and restoration contracts depending on the goals and objectives of the landowner. Through the easement acquisition, the landowner voluntarily limits future use of the land, but retains private ownership.

There are two enrollment options: permanent easements and 30-year easements.

Permanent Easement: This is a conservation easement in perpetuity. Easement payments for

this option equal the lowest of three amounts: the agricultural value of the land, an established payment cap, or an amount offered by the landowner. In addition to paying for the easement, USDA pays 100 percent of the costs of restoring the wetland.

30-Year Easement: Easement payments through this option are 75 percent of what would be paid for a permanent easement. USDA also pays up to 75 percent of restoration costs.

For both permanent

and 30-year easements, USDA pays all costs associated with recording the easement in the local land records offi ce, including recording fees, charges for abstracts, survey and appraisal fees, and title insurance.

Some examples of eligible lands include: Wetlands farmed under natural conditions, farmed wetlands, prior converted cropland, farmed wetland pasture, former or degraded wetlands, and more. Not sure if you have wetlands? NRCS can help.

“We’re making progress in wetlands restoration because of the combined efforts of private landowners, the Natural Resources Conservation

Service, Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency and, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and other state and federal agencies,” Rissler said.

Congratulations, graduates!

I found myself at a college graduation the other day, and not surprisingly, it was pretty much like every other one I’ve attended. Lots of proud parents, lots of excited graduates and a speaker exhorting them to go out and do great, courageous things.

Good, but before they go and save the world, I’ve got some advice for them, especially the young men.

Get yourself some decent clothes, and learn how to wear them. I was amazed that some of the casually dressed male graduates claimed that they didn’t own a suit. How could you go through college without owning a suit? They all had smart phones, so it can’t be money. Shame on them, and their parents, too.

So here’s my modest proposal. Go buy a suit, and learn how to wear it. What is a suit? For men, a suit is a jacket and a pair of trousers cut from the same cloth, worn with a dress shirt and a tie. For women, a suit is a jacket and a skirt or pants in matching material, along with a nice, business-like blouse.

But women, even young ones, still know the value of dressing appropriately for the occasion, so I’m speaking here primarily to young men.

Grow up, guys. Regardless of what you plan to do for a living, whether you aspire to be a farmer or a pharmacist, a bricklayer or a banker, there will be times in your life when you need to wear a suit. It may be a job interview, a church conference, a sophisticated dinner, a wedding or a funeral, but there will be such occasions in your life, and what you wear to them will speak volumes about you.

You may have an aversion to suits. Many men do. You may feel uncomfortable wearing them, but suits, in spite of the grungy fashion scene of today, are still a fact of life, have been for generations, and will be as long as you live. Whether suits make sense or not doesn’t matter. They are a part of our culture; that’s how it is, so get with the program, and go buy a suit.

You’re grown up now, chronologically, at least. It’s time to stop looking like a kid from the wrong side of the tracks and to dress like an adult. Think about how your Great-Aunt

Minnie will feel if you show up at your Great-Uncle Frank’s funeral in nothing but a fancy shirt and a pair of slacks. Will that make your mother proud?

One good suit. That’s all you have to have. But don’t wait till you need it. Take time now to do it right. Buy one as nice as you can afford, but an inexpensive one will do if that’s all you can afford.

But in that regard, you can buy a good suit for less money, probably; than you spent on that telephone you can’t take your eyes off. You can probably fi nd an inexpensive one for less than many young men pay for sneakers.

So do it; every man between the ages of 16 and 96 needs at least one good suit. And if you only have one, it should be either navy blue or medium grey. You can wear a medium grey suit with confi dence to any suited event, from Easter dinner to a funeral.

And if you’re only buying one dress shirt, it should be white; if only one pair of shoes, make them black, just like your socks. You should have at least two ties, one dark for somber occasions, and one more lighthearted, for other times, but not so lighthearted people will notice when you wear it over and over.

And make sure your suit fi ts. Don’t depend on the salesperson to make that decision for you. Take someone who cares about you when you buy it, and then have it altered.

How should it fi t? The shoulders on a suit should go out the exact distance as yours. The jacket cuffs should come to the place where your wrist meets the base of

your thumb. (Your shirt sleeve should be a quarter to ½ an inch longer than this.) The jacket should drop down so it reaches the bottom of your fi sted hands when your arms hang at your side. Your pant cuffs should barely break across the front of your shoes, and by the way - wear a dress shirt and the shoes you plan to wear with the suit when you buy it, and when you have it altered.

If it is a two-button suit, and if you only have one, it should be, button the top button only, and you should always keep it buttoned except when sitting.

Now. That’s all there is to it. With a single suit, you’re ready for any occasion, and whether you wear it once a year or every week, you’re going to look better, and feel better, because of it. You won’t be intimidated by other men wearing suits, and you’ll feel more confi dent as a result.

And you’ll make a great fi rst impression. You’ll look taller in a suit. Your shoulders will seem broader, your chest bigger and your waist smaller, especially if you keep it buttoned.

When you wear a suit to meet someone, you are telling them you value them enough to dress up for them, and they will treat you with an increased level of respect in return.

And fi nally, for those of you who care about such things, study after study has shown that women rate the very same men as more attractive when they’re wearing suits. As my lovely young wife put it, “If men knew what women think about them when they wear suits, they’d wear them all the time.”

Works for me.

Suiting Up

Saturday, May 18, was certainly a great day for the parents of 189 graduating seniors of 2013 from Haywood County High School.

C o n g r a t u l a t i o n s are in order to all the graduating seniors for their achievements and success. More than one million dollars were given in scholarships and 44 students were recognized as Tennessee Scholars.

There are so many success stories coming in regarding the class that are too numerous to mention at this time.

However, there is a story coming from this list of graduating seniors that many of our readers may not be aware of. The story involves some graduating seniors who in years past may not have received their diplomas. Thanks to a new program implemented by the school board, the graduation rate at Haywood High should show a gradual increase this year as well as the years ahead.

The program has been installed less than two years and is already showing encouraging signs.

The program is known as Receiving Educational Academic Credits Hastily (REACH) and is headed up by Director Drayton Hawkins. Its purpose is

to identify students at the high school level as soon as possible who are not on track to graduate because they lack the required credits.

Members of the REACH staff acquire the names of those students who lack suffi cient credits to graduate. The information is gathered from high school guidance counselors as well as other available sources. REACH staff members then contact the students and their parents and share with them the aims and objectives of the REACH Academy. Students are not required by the Academy to participate. Their involvement must be voluntary.

Once the student joins the Academy, the objective is to get the student on track for graduation. The student is assigned a teacher of the credit or credits needed for graduation.

The Academy also has Steve May on board as Graduation Coach. Director Hawkins stated that “Mr. May is a hard worker and very dedicated to the program and I couldn’t do it without him.” According to Hawkins, REACH Academy graduated 11 students in December, 2012, and 17 in May, 2013. Can you imagine what an impact these numbers will have on this year’s

graduation rate at Haywood High School? The graduation rate for 2013 will be published at a later date. Mr. Hawkins stated the number of graduates from REACH Academy could be responsible for as much as a fi ve percent increase when the graduation rate is published.

I have long been an advocate of such a program. I’ve been associated with a few individual schools in other jurisdictions that revealed promising results. Students participating in such programs not only improved their academic levels but also their self esteem.

Hats off to the school board for implementing such a progressive move and thanks to the students, parents, staff and all involved with REACH Academy for their participation in something new and exciting that will make a difference in the lives of students that will be potential students of the Academy.

If REACH Academy continues to build on what it has already started, Haywood High School should continue to reap the benefi ts. It won’t be a matter of whether there will be an increase in the annual graduation rate, but how much.

A great move

I would like to start this week by saying congratulations to all of those who graduated in the last week!

I would like to give a special CONGRATULATIONS to my handsome little nephew, Ethan Rikard, and a very sweet little girl, Emma Chavers, on their graduation from kindergarten this week. I am very proud of you both!

It seems like just yesterday that Kristine brought Ethan home from the hospital, and Wednesday he wore his cap and gown proudly as he accepted his kindergarten diploma. He is now convinced he’s a big kid because he’s going to fi rst grade. Aunt Jennifer loves you, Ethan Blake!

I wish all of the seniors who graduated Saturday the best of luck. I hope you all follow your dreams and become whatever it is that you hope to become. Work hard, study hard, and put the quality education you received from Haywood County Schools to good use in your future endeavors.

With that said, I’d also like to say that I have such a heavy heart this week for all of those that were affected by the

devastating tornadoes in Texas and Oklahoma. I, as a parent, could not imagine what the parents in Oklahoma were going through when they received the news that their child’s elementary school had been destroyed by the powerful tornado. I had tears in my eyes as I watched the news coverage of the search and rescue workers feverishly trying to fi nd the students and teachers at the elementary schools. I am keeping all of those people who lost so much this last week in my prayers, and I hope that you are as well. We are never promised another day.

I would also like to send a big thank you out to all of our local emergency medical services personnel. This week is National EMS Week, and our local people work very hard to help us when we are in need. They lose sleep, time with their families, and see things that most of us couldn’t handle, but they keep right on going and help us when we need them most. They truly are heroes, and I think that it is important that we show them our appreciation! Thank you all!

I’d also like to

thank the men and women of the Public Works Department for working so hard to keep our city clean and working smoothly.

I am defi nitely looking forward to the upcoming holiday weekend. I will be working Saturday covering the Exit 56 Blues Fest, and I hope to see you all there. There are a lot of great events lined up for Saturday, and it is sure to be a lot of fun.

I am also hoping to get in some more time fi shing this weekend. Chuck and I took the kids this past Saturday out to our lake, and we had the best time. We caught a total of six bass, one bluegill, and one turtle. I can’t say that I’ve ever caught a turtle before, but one thing is for sure, they are not happy little creatures when you catch them on your fi shing line. That poor little turtle was mad when we got him to the dock! The kids were fascinated with him, but all he wanted was to get back in that water!

When the Bible says we have eternal life, it really means life. We tend to think of heaven and eternity as some sort of spiritual existence where we will all be fl oating around in the heavens somewhere. Nothing could be further from the truth. We will live forever with physical (although spiritual and perfected bodies) and we will truly be alive. If we understand this truth, nothing that happens during this life can bring condemnation or despair because we have a hope that surpasses all other things. We have a tabernacle reserved in the heavens, not made with human hands. Those purchased with Christ’s blood have the glorious hope of living forever with Him. I will still be me, and you will still be you…the only difference is we will live forever, with no more suffering, pain, or dying. Tragedies like the Tornadoes in OK will be a thing of the past. Yet, because we have this hope, we can face the trials and tribulations of this world with joy.


Haslam proclaims May 19-25 Public Works Week

Bond, Charles Brooks, Robert Bryant, Quinton Caldwell, Jessie Cole, John Dancy, Landreth Anderson, Richard DeWalt, Tywoine Jones, Fred Evans, David Jones, Ken-neth Jones, Luther Jones, Calvin McFarland, Cordrecus Steward, Jeremy Pirtle, Albert Richardson, James Rogers, Walter F.

BY JENNIFER [email protected]

Governor Bill Haslam signed a proc-lamation on Febru-ary 22 that declared May 19-25 to be Pub-lic Works Week in the state of Tennessee.

The proclamation read: “Whereas, pub-lic works services pro-vided in our commu-nities are an integral part of our citizens’ everyday lives; and, whereas, the support of an understanding and informed citi-

zenry is vital to the effi cient operation of public works systems and programs such as water, sewer, streets and highways, public buildings, and solid waste collection; and, whereas, the health, safety, and comfort of this state depends on these facilities and services; and, whereas the quality and effec-tiveness of these fa-cilities, as well as their planning, design, and construction, are vital-ly dependent upon the efforts and skill of the

public works offi cials; and, whereas, the effi -ciency of the qualifi ed and dedicated person-nel who staff public works departments is materially infl uenced by the people’s attid-tude and understand-ing of the importance of the work they per-form; and, whereas, I, Bill Haslam, Governor of the State of Tennes-see, do herby proclaim the week of May 19-25, 2013, as Public Works Week in Tennessee and encourage all citi-zens to join me in this

worthy observance.”I spoke with Bobby

Mayer, Director of Brownsville’s Public Works Department, and he explained to me what he and his 35 employees do on a daily basis.

The Public Works Department is respon-sible for 248 streets, which equals 75 miles of road. “My truck is my offi ce,” said Mayer. “And my employees work very hard each and every day to do their jobs to the best of their ability. We all

get along, and we all work well together.”

The Public Works Department is re-sponsible for patch-ing potholes, which is mainly a cold weather problem, cleaning the streets, building the sidewalks, cutting grass, trimming trees, and picking up trash. But there is a lot more that they do outside of what most people think they do. They constantly work to keep the drains and ditches clear to avoid fl ooding when it

rains, and are respon-sible for the upkeep at Oakwood Cemetery.

I also spoke to Brownsville Mayor Jo Matherne, and asked for her views on the importance of the men and women at the Public Works Depart-ment. She said, “The Public Works Depart-ment is a vital part of the City of Browns-ville. They work diligently to keep our city clean, and I would like to person-ally thank them for all of their hard work.”

May 19-25 is National Emergency Medical Services Week

Compliments of the American College of

Emergency Physicians

The American Col-lege of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) was instrumental in establishing EMS Week when President

Gerald Ford declared November 3–10, 1974 as the fi rst “National Emergency Medi-cal Services Week.” This annual obser-vance continued for four more years and was then reinstitut-ed by ACEP in 1982. Around this time, the

observance of EMS Week was moved to September. In 1992, EMS Week was again moved to be the 3rd week in May. The move was made to separate EMS Week from Fire Prevention week in October. The rationale for the move

was the majority of fi re and EMS services felt having the two events back to back hurt the effectiveness of each program so EMS Week was moved to May.

ACEP began col-lecting and distrib-uting ideas and in-formation for EMS

Week in the early 1980’s. Professionally printed and prepared EMS Week Planning kits were developed starting in the late 1980’s. Today 25,000 EMS Week Planning Guides are distributed free of charge to EMS services, fi re depart-

ments, rescue squads, volunteer groups, and emergency depart-ments across the coun-try. The 48 page guide contains ideas for local EMS Week activities and highlights EMS Week programs held by EMS services dur-ing the previous year.

Crestview petting zoo a hit with the kids...and the residents

Hooker Farms visited Crestview Thursday, May 16, and brought several different animals for the residents and local children to feed and pet. They even brought two small horses for the children to ride. The big hit was the baby kangaroo! There was also a smoothie station set up, and all of the activities, including the smoothies, were provided to guests and residents at no cost. Crestview had fun activities planned each day last week in celebration of National Nursing Home Week.

The middle school years are not too soon to begin thinking about colleges and careers, so Haywood County GEAR UP TN took two groups of GEAR UP students from Haywood Middle School to tour the University of

Memphis at Lambuth on May 2. Upon their arrival, students gathered in the theater to hear messages from students about the importance of making good grades and obtaining a postsecondary

education. Afterwards, two students from the campus served as tour guides to share their experiences and allow students to gain insight into the life as a college student on the Lambuth campus. Students toured

different classrooms, including the nursing department, as well as the chapel and the Bistro. Students learned about housing, tuition, fi nancial aid, admission requirements, and the various programs

offered at the campus. Also, the students’ tour guides discussed dorm life, choosing the right dorm mate, personal responsibilities, homework, and tests.

GEAR UP is a program that helps

students become aware of the opportunities ahead of them for college and future careers. This college visit was an opportunity to get a fi rsthand view of being a University of Memphis at Lambuth student.

Trivia question.What was the original name of Memorial

Day?Need a second?Ok, the answer: Decoration Day,No matter what you want to call it, the last

Monday in May is a day of rememberance for those who have died serving the United States military.

Memorial Day was offi cially proclaimed on May, 1868, by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic. It was fi rst observed on May, 30, 1868, when fl owers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery.

The fi rst state to offi cially recognized the holiday was New York in 1873. By 1890, it was recognized by all northern states. The South refused to acknowledge the day, honoring their dead on separate days until World War I (when the holiday changed from honoring just those who died fi ghting in the Civil War.) After World War I, it expanded to include those who died in any American war or military action.

Memorial Day is now celebrated in every state following the National Holiday Act of 1971. One of the longest standing traditions is the running of the Indianapolis 500, which has been held in conjunction with Memorial Day since 1911.

Many people observe this holiday by visiting cemeteries and memorials. A national moment of remembrance takes place at 3 p.m. Washington time. Another tradition is to fl y the U.S. fl ag at half-staff from dawn until noon local time. Volunteers place a U.S. fl ag upon each gravesite located in a National

Cemetery.Since the late 1950s, on the Thursday be-

fore Memorial Day, the 1,200 soldiers of the 3rd U.S. Infantry place small American fl ags at each of the more than 260,000 gravestones at Arlington National Cemetary. They then patrol every single hour of the weekend to ensure each fl ag remains standing.

And since 1998, on the Saturday before the observed day, the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts have place a candle at each of the approximately 15,300 grave sites of soldier buried at Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park on Marye’s Heights.

To help Americans re-educate and remind themselves about the true meaning of Memo-rial Day, teh “National Moment of Remem-brance” resolution, which ask all Americans “to voluntarily and informally observe, in their own way, a moment of remembrance and respect, pausing from whatever they are doing for a mement of silence or listening to ‘Taps.’”

In additional to remembrance, Memorial Day is also a time for picnics, family gather-ings and sporting events. Some Americans view Memorial Day as teh unoffi cial begin-ning of summer and Labor Day as teh unof-fi cial end of the season.

Others use Memorial Day weekend to hon-or and family members who have died, not just servicemen. Christian Church services on the Sunday prior to Memorial Day may in-clude a reading of the names of members who have died during the previous twelve months.

The Haywood High School Track and fi eld team competed in the West Sectional in Mem-phis at Crump Stadium on Friday and three ath-letes punched their tick-ets for this week's Class A-AA State Track Meet.

For the second con-secutive year, the girls’ team placed sixth with 48 points, while the boys’ team placed seventh with 47 points.

It was the fi rst time in over a decade that both teams fi nished in the top 10 in the same year.

Senior Jalen Ellison jumped a 21-02.00 in his third attempt in the long jump to take third. His mark was good enough to earn an at-large bid to the state meet.

In the boys shot put, senior Kaderran Bond won the event with a dis-tance of 47-07.00, earning an automatic bid to the state meet.

The shocker of the track meet for Haywood County came in the girls’ 100 and 200 meter dash.

Senior Roneshia Al-exander, competing in her fi rst season of track, was predicted to fi nished third and seventh in the 100 and 200 meters.

In the girls 100 meters, Alexander got a good start out of the starting block. As the race was develop-ing with 60 meters to go, Alexander started to pull away from the fi eld and won the 100 meters in a time of 12.94.

Later in the evening, running in her fourth and fi nal event of the day, Al-exander lined up in lane one for the 200 meters.

Tired from her three races in other events, she got out of blocks and ran the curve the best she could. Coming off the curve it had looked like Alexander's season was over in the 200 meters as she was in the back of pack.

With 75 meters to go, Alexander was able to put it in another gear. She then leaned at the fi nish line, edging out the third and fourth placed runners with a time of 26.46, plac-ing second in her in event, earning an automatic bid to the state meet.

Alexander will run the 100 and 200 meter at the state meet in Murfrees-boro tonight.

Bond and Ellison will compete Friday at 2:15 p.m.

“I’m very happy for the three athletes who qualifi ed for the state track and fi eld meet,” coach David Claybrooks said. “They’re going to re-member this opportunity for rest of their lives.”

the Senior Tarris John-son placed fi fth in the tri-ple jump with a mark of 30-04.00.

Her teammate, senior Jalen Bond, placed eighth with a career best jump of 40-01.00.

In the running events, juniors Patsy Jameson and Deonte Brown placed fi fth and sixth in the 3200 meter run.

Sophomore Kayla

Shaw placed sixth in the 100 hurdles with a time of 20.04.

Bond ran a career best time of 16.78 in the 110 hurdles.

The girls 4x100 relay (Chelsi Jones, Roneshia Alexander, Tarris Johnson and Natasha Bommer) placed sixth with a time of 51.88.

The girls 4x800 relay (Victoria Ramirez, Patsy Jameson, Maija Bradford and Dannon Eubanks) placed third for the sec-ond consecutive year.

The boys 4x800 relay (Deonte Brown, Willie Franklin, Joshua Wilson and DeMarious Douglas) placed fi fth with a time of 9:14.31.

The girls 4x200 relay (Chelsi Jones, Roneshia Alexander, Kayla Shaw and Natasha Bommer) ran a season best time of 1:48.89, placing fourth, while the boys 4x200 re-lay placed third with a time of 1:32.63.

Both relay teams just missed getting an at-large bid to state.

Senior Natasha Bom-mer placed seventh in the 400 meters with a time of 75.79. Kayla Shaw fi n-ished sixth in the 300 me-ter hurdles with a time of 55.03.

Her teammate, Darius Pirtle, placed fi fth in the 300 hurdles, running a time of 43.07.

In the fi nal event of the day, the boys 4x400 relay (Darvis Jarmon, DeMari-ous Douglas, Jalen Ellison and Willie Franklin) ran a season and school record relay time of 3:35.76, tak-

ing the bronze medal. “I feel like the team did

the best that they could do,” Claybrooks said. “In sectionals, only the top two athletes advance to state in each event, which is extremely diffi cult. Es-pecially if there are four individuals or relay teams ranked in the top 10 in your sectionals all season. Unfortunately, someone is going home because only two individuals or relays can advance to state per an event unless they re-ceive an at-large bid.”

A pair of standout eighth-graders from last season's Haywood Mid-dle School football team will have a chance next month to showcase their

skills in a prestigious all-star game.

Corey Newble, a 6-0, 152-pound quarterback, and Russ Cates, a 6-0, 223-pound tackle, were chosen to represent Ten-nessee in the Kentucky-Tennessee Middle School

All-Star Game. The game will be

played June 12 at Ney-land Stadium on the campus of the University of Tennessee.

Both players took part in a West Tennessee try-out last month and were

chosen based on their performance.

Newble and Cates helped Haywood Mid-dle to an 8-2 record last season and a second place fi nish in the West Tennessee Athletic Con-ference.

Longtime Haywood High School girls basket-ball coach Zandra Jones announced her retire-ment from coaching last week.

Jones, who will remain on the faculty as a teach-er, led the Lady Tomcats basketball program for 29 years before stepping down last week.

She also played four

years on the Haywood basketball team.

“When you put all that in perspective, she's given more than half of her life to Haywood bas-ketball,” said Haywood athletic director Drayton Hawkins. “That's a tre-mendous accomplish-ment. She's meant a lot to the program.”

After losing all fi ve starters to graduation, Haywood went 4-18 last season.

The four previous years, the Lady Tomcars fi nished above .500. Hay-wood made it to the re-gion tournament in 2009-10 and fi nished second in the district in 2008-09.

Hawkins said the job opening has been posted

and some coaches have already applied for the job.

“Right now we're trying to wrap up the school year,” Hawkins said. “We'll probably get somebody hired in the next couple of weeks.”

“Look for a Leader” was the subject of the message. Samuel had been a great leader, but the people desired a king to lead them. We take a risk when we put our complete trust in human leaders for they are fl awed. Only God deserves our faith and trust. People just did what was right today. It’s a rough road to the kingdom, but God will be with us every step of the way.

Rev. Charles Pratt and wife Linda worshiped with us Sunday. Brother Charles, as the Haywood Co. Director of Missions, presented one of the three $1000 Mark Conway scholarships to our own, Jessica Leach. Congratulations, Jessica! The “Praise Girls” consisting of Kathy McClinton and Kathy and Kaite Hopper, sang the special music and did a great job.

Jewel Overton’s family gathered at her home on Mother’s Day. All of her children, except one son, were there. Most of her grandchildren and great grandchildren attended. Her daughter, Patty Byrd, prepared lunch for them. Pray for Jewel’s grandson, Kent, who is stationed in

South Korea.Happy birthday to

Charlie Fisher, Lavern Haynes, Jeffery and Jason Haynes, Heather Jones Bolinger, Mildred West, Cassie McCaslin, Alexis Swain and Stephanie Scott. Happy anniversary to Robert and Betty Barden and Danny and Lavern Haynes.

Thirty-eight members from Holly Grove Church gathered at the Bells Olympic Steak House following church services to celebrate Senior-Adult day. Twenty-nine of those were seniors. Holly Grove’s Creative Ministry Team was in charge of the services Sunday night with a patriotic theme. Thanks to Debbie Jones and others for a terrifi c program. Being Memorial Day weekend, I would like to quote some of our late presidents-George Washington-“Do not let anyone claim to be a true American if they ever attempt to remove religion from politics.” Abraham Lincoln-“My concern is not whether God is on our side, but my greatest concern is to be on God’s side.” John F. Kennedy-“Let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking

God’s blessing and His help, knowing that here on earth God’s work must truly be our own.” Ronald Reagan-“I believe with all my heart that standing up for America means standing up for God who has blessed our land. Have we abandoned the faith of our forefathers leaving our country helpless without God’s protection?”

Those on the sick list needing our prayers are Betty Barden, Jan Wynn, Virginia Taylor, Fletcher Lewis, Jean Climer, Carolyn Covington and Leslie and Ginger Warren. Others are Joann Smith, Danny Murphy, Sandra Posey, Butch Wilson, Gaylor Turnage, Bobby Joe Brown and Dennis Evans. We were happy to see Jan Wynn, Billie Lynn Haynes, Leland Simpson and Bob Alexander able to be at church. Bob had a stint put in last week, but is doing well. We express our heartfelt sympathy to the family of Mrs. Patsy Robinson, and to Shirley Keltner in the death of her mother, Mrs. Ruth Hooper and her mother-in-law, Mrs. Pansy Patterson.

The strawberries are in full swing. I have picked a couple or more crates.

Mark your calendars for the Barnett’s Homecoming at Allen on Saturday, June 1 beginning at 6:30 p.m. - 42 years of making music for the Lord! Joining them will be the Joylanders and the Lefevres. And earlier in the day - around 11:30, there’ll be a cook-out and their famous softball game at Royce and Linda’s house in Stanton. They said just “come on over” - but bring your own lawn chairs.

And don’t forget - Vacation Bible School will be June 3-7 from 9:00 a.m.- noon. The theme is “Colossal Coaster World” - about facing fear and trusting God.

Stan and Mary Ann Flowers took a recent week-end trip to the National Lay Renewal conference in East Tennessee at Carson Springs Conference Center. They said the speakers were dynamic and they had a great week-end of worshipping. Then they stayed overnight in Sevierville so Mary Ann could do a little shopping for her birthday.

On Friday night, May

10, Sonny and I went to a fi sh fry fundraiser for the South Hatchie Volunteer Fire Department. The food was delicious, great entertainment by Wildwood Express and we got to visit with some old friends - Danny and Susan Leath and Brenda and Jerry Morris. Thanks to our friends, Carolyn Duncan and Neil Byrum for inviting us.

Shirley Kendrick just returned from a dream vacation to Ireland. Not enough room to write about all she did, but some of the highlights were spending the night in a castle, visiting the 700 foot high Cliffs of Moher, and a trip to Blarney Castle to kiss the famous Blarney Stone. Glad she got to have such a wonderful trip, but it’s great to have her back home.

Our prayer list includes Lisa Caldwell, Sheila Strickland, Ernest and Ann Lytle, Pam Rogers, Debbie Cates, Marie Baggett, Zander Young and his family, and Linda Barnett (better get well soon, Linda - June 1 will

be here before you know it!).

And please keep Miss Ruth Hooper’s family in your prayers - the angels rejoiced at Miss Ruth’s homecoming last Sunday night, but, of course, her family is saddened by their separation - I’ve known Miss Ruth for several years and I can say for sure that Heaven gained a sweet lady, but she’ll be missed by many down here. And please pray for the family of Danny Claiborne in their loss as well.

Jerry and Carolyn White - and Mama White - were gone for a few days last week to their “home away from home” over in Pine Bluff, Arkansas for a little rest, relaxation and fi shing. We’re glad y’all made it there and back safe and sound.

Call me at 772-2200 or e-mail me at [email protected] with any news.

And here’s your thought for the week – “Jesus knows me, this I love”. (I didn’t get it backwards – just think about it).

We hope everyone will join us for the Legislative Breakfast on Tuesday, May 28, beginning at 9 a.m. in the downstairs meeting room at the Chamber of Commerce. Please take advantage of this opportunity to meet with Senator Dolores Gresham and Representative Craig Fitzhugh.

Today’s Chamber Spotlight is on Livingston’s. Livingston’s has been a Brownsville fi xture for

forty-seven years. They have been at their current location since 1978 when Harvey Livingston bought the old Post Offi ce building.

Livingston and two other local business leaders protested the move from the center of the business district, but their efforts were in vain.

The Postal Service closed the Post Offi ce and put the building up for sealed bid. Livingston bid

on the property and was successful.

Harvey and his wife, Minnie Walden, expanded the business over the next few years to include a bridal registry and gifts, as well as fi ne home furnishings.

If you’re in search of a gift for a special occasion or furnishings for your home visit Livingston’s located at 60 South Washington Avenue.

Working together creates success!

Warmer weather means Brownsvillians are spending more time enjoying the great outdoors. But outdoors means exposure to insect pests and ticks. Researchers with the University Of Tennessee Institute Of Agriculture say there are steps you can take to minimize the risk of tick bites and tick-borne infections.

Graham Hickling, Director of the UT Center for Wildlife Health, says if you’re concerned about ticks and heading outdoors, use insect repellant containing 20 to 30 percent DEET. Follow package instructions and do not apply under clothing or to children under two months of age.

If working regularly in the fi eld, consider also applying permethrin to clothing. Permethrin will last through several washes, but must not be applied to skin — again, be sure to follow package instructions.

Wear light-colored clothing and tuck long pants into your socks

to help keep ticks off of your skin. Wear close-toed shoes or, even better, boots sprayed with permethrin. Your children can be at particular risk. While ticks are unlikely to be encountered in open fi elds, children chasing balls or cutting through scrub or woods are entering high-risk tick areas.

Cultural ways to protect against tick bites include keeping grass mowed and removing leaf litter, and brush from around the home and lawn’s edge. Gravel, woodchips or dry mulch can help keep ticks away from paths and children’s play structures.

Protect your pets by minimizing the time that they spend outdoors in areas with leaf litter, brush and tall weeds. Always check your pets for ticks when they come back indoors.

Your best protection against a tick-borne infection, Hickling says, is a careful tick check.

“Check immediately after being outside and again in the

evening while you are undressing. Do thorough checks of your children and pets. If you fi nd an attached tick, simply use tweezers to remove them. Defi nitely avoid folk remedies such as hot matches, nail polish remover, petroleum jelly or other substances — these will not work if the tick is fi rmly attached. Grasp the tick mouthparts as close to the skin as possible and pull the tick straight out using steady pressure.”

Wash the area with soap and water, then dry and apply a topical antiseptic.

Remember the spot where the tick was removed. Watch during the next two weeks for signs of illness (fever, headache or spreading rash.) Contact your physician if you feel you may be developing early symptoms of a tick-borne illness.

Keep in mind that most tick bites are harmless. So be sure to get outside and enjoy our county’s abundant natural beauty while keeping these sensible precautions in mind.

Reducing the Risk of Tick Bites

Great News! Brian and Sara Massey are proud new parents of Eli Wilson Massey who arrived a month early! Sara posted on Facebook soon after he was born that this was defi nitely not on her ‘to do’ list that particular day! Sara, who is an ER nurse at Jackson General, bypassed her co-workers and headed straight to labor and delivery! Brian’s East Side students are also elated over the new arrival! Welcome to the world little Eli!

Graduation time has come again! Kudos to all the 2013 graduating classes everywhere! Enjoy your journey into the adult world and may you be successful in whatever you choose to do!

Donna Nace Hooper is extremely proud of the Crockett County Cavalier Baseball team, who won the Region AA Championship and are headed to the state championship in Murfreesboro! Why?! Her son Braden Nace is a member of that team! This is the fi rst time in history they have ever gone this far!

C o n g r a t u l a t i o n s to Martha Jo Willis Williams, wife of Duke Williams, daughter of John and Janet Willis, granddaughter of Josephine Willis, on her recent graduation from Union University School of Pharmacy.

Sandra Angotti is so thrilled about her

cousin, Kyle Utley, and his partner, Lee Nicholson, purchasing Art Ellis’s eye clinic! She is delighted for the people of Brownsville to get to meet this young man. She said he is going to be an asset for our community. It is her understanding that Dr. Art Ellis will continue to work for them a few days a week. We won’t lose a valuable eye doctor, but will gain two more dedicated young men. Kyle is from Crockett County and is the son of Butch and Karen Utley. His wife is Kelly and they have two sons, Max and Mace.

Alice Waddell celebrated her 94th

birthday on May 10. Saturday, May 11 she had a huge birthday party at her daughter, Elizabeth and Tony Scotts’ lovely home in the country. All the children were playing on swings, riding bicycles and riding four- wheelers. She had a perfectly, spectacular day!

JoAnne and John Finn fl itted off to Erie, PA last week to see John’s family. They spent Mother’s Day with the Finn/Parker family and visited John’s dad, who is recovering from surgery. They also toured Presque Isle and other Erie landmarks.

Kevin and Holly Austin’s son, Andrew, had a big time at his 1st birthday party. Mickey Mouse was there to entertain everyone!

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

Brother Bobby Russ continues to deliver dynamic sermons at Zion each week, and Sunday morning he focused on Faith. He used Hebrews 11, among various other Scriptures to show that faith provides attestation, faith procures approval and faith produces ability.

Best wishes to our graduates who were recognized during the second service, although not all of them were there. Elizabeth Campbell, Katie Lewis, Peyton Wright, John Bullard, John Michael Mann and Blake Porch have offi cially graduated high school. Elizabeth Campbell was one of the fi rst three to receive a Mark Conway Memorial Scholarship from the HBA. I was so excited that one from Zion was able to receive these funds, but hopefully it won’t be the last!

Elizabeth left after her graduation Saturday to spend time with family in North Carolina. Clay and Audrey are lost without her, but she will be home Wednesday.

Alice Elrod (mama) attended the revealing of her next great-grandson at the home of Charles and Barbara Elrod Sunday afternoon. Randall and Whitney are expecting their fi rst little baby in November. Congratulations to you!!

Zion folks enjoyed a church-wide cookout at the lake Sunday afternoon. All the kids had a fantastic time fi shing. I’m not sure who caught the most, but I think Jessie Mullen had the most fun watching the little ones catch them!

Eight men attended the prayer breakfast Thursday morning with Brother Grover Westover from Harmony bringing the devotion. Thanks to this faithful group of men that meets each Thursday morning at 6:00 at ZBC. If you would like to come, they would love to have you join them.

Several family members attended the Kindergarten Graduation of our granddaughter, Lyla-Grace Denise Rainey, Thursday night in Memphis. We enjoyed having the Rainey’s in our home from Wednesday through Friday’s baby shower. Spending time with family is so much fun, and I had forgotten how exciting it is to welcome a new baby (due in July) into the family. Thanks to mama, Melanie Thomas, and Reese Ferrell for helping entertain Lyla Friday afternoon while we were cleaning for the shower.

Patsy Tritt and Libba Ellington attended graduation ceremonies at the University of

Mississippi May 11 for Rachel Morgan of Dallas. Rachel is an Accountancy Major and Finance Minor and graduated Magna Cum Laude.

With so much going on at our home, I forgot Thomas and Kristin’s baby shower Tuesday, but I’m sure they will welcome a belated gift as well as Kevin and Elizabeth Lovelace. I did get some of the graduation gifts delivered Sunday to those who were there.

Taylor Austin and family were visiting with his parents Kim and Tina last week. They even had a birthday party at Zion’s FLC Friday night.

Don’t forget! There will be one service at 11:00 Memorial Day followed by a pot-luck meal and a ceremony at the cemetery. No p.m. services. Also, there will be a bridal shower to honor Aubrey Swanson, bride-elect of David Conway-May 25 at 2:00. Zion’s VBS Kickoff -May 29 at 6:00.

Continue praying for sick folks and their families, military personnel and families, shut-ins, those mourning loss, and the leaders of our country.

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

“No possession is as valuable as our faith in God.” This is our Thought for the Week as published in the Upper Room Devotional by Magdiel Martinez of Mexico. Today our country suffers due to tremendous insecurities due to widespread violence. Some people try to avoid owning luxury vehicles and jewelry because doing so exposes them to the danger of losing these possessions or even their lives. During these times, people should be reminded that Jesus’ message not to store up treasures on earth but to seek rather the kingdom of heaven. Our challenge is to nurture our spiritual growth and to place it ahead of absurd accumulation of riches.

The Mt. Pleasant UMC Homecoming was held on Sunday, May 19. Bro. Jerry Wilson was the speaker. A great time of fellowship was had by all in attendance and might I add the food was good also. I especially enjoyed visiting with Christine Glover. Mrs. Carol Bruce was feeling under the weather and was at her daughter’s home. She was unable to attend the homecoming. Mrs. Alice McClanahan and Peggy Lewis provided the special music. Mrs. Alice played the marimba as she always does during homecoming. Linda Jo Edmonds was in attendance, also. She was telling us stories of her little dog and his eating habits.

Friday, I had an

appointment in Memphis with a dermatologist. After the appointment, Travis and I stopped in Oakland and did some shopping at Wal-mart then ate lunch at KFC. We detoured through Somerville and visited in the home of my Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Nancy Swain.

Saturday morning, Travis and I along with James and Lucille Elrod, Gerald and Deborah Lewis, Danny and Marcia Watson and Jerry Lewis met at the church for cleanup duty before homecoming. After the cleanup, Travis, Krystle and I went to Wal-mart and I got a very pleasant surprise by seeing my cousins, Charlene Culver and her daughters, Shana and Tanya Culver. Shana and Tanya traveled from

Hattiesburg, MS and surprised their Mom. They were headed to visit their brother, Bronson, in Memphis.

Prayer list includes, Claude Sensabaugh, Dennis Evans, Sharon Broughton, Nancy Smith,Billie Kirkland, Christine Watson, my Uncle Perk Watson, Doug Jones, Annette G o o d m a n , R i c h a r d Kirkland, Enid Powell, Dorothy Bruce, Roscoe Martin,The Nation and the Community.

Please keep the families of Mrs. Delaware Moore and Mrs. Patsy Robinson in your thoughts and prayers in the loss of their loved ones.

If you have news to share, please call me at 772-1885, after 5:00 p.m.

Until next week....God bless.
