December 14, 2012 is a date that will forever be etched into the memory of people across the United States. It was the day that 26 people, 20 of those being children, lost their lives at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Connecticut.

We all watched the tragedy as in unfolded, and our hearts went out to the families of those who lost a loved one in what has been described as one of the nation’s deadliest school shootings. However, from great tragedy has come The Olivia

Act, and many photographers have chosen to “pay it forward” by donating photo sessions.

Leslie Spurlock Photography founded the Olivia Act, which is named after one of the children who lost her life in the shooting. Little Olivia’s family had family pictures taken a short time before she was killed, and those pictures are now priceless to her family. Upon hearing the story about Olivia’s family pictures, Spurlock was inspired to give away a family photo session and has challenged other photographers to do the same.

Samantha Brown, of

Samantha Brown Photography, has chosen to step up to that challenge and “pay it forward” in our hometown by giving away a free photo session. “When The Olivia Act started, I saw it as an opportunity to ‘pay it forward’ and contribute to my community in a way I hadn’t done before,” said Brown. “I do not wish to be glorifi ed for my participation in the Act, I just want everyone to know that the simplest act we can do for each other is kindness.”

Brown received about 15 nominations, and said, “It

Grand Jury returns true bill against Haywood County Deputy


The Haywood County Grand Jury met Monday, January 28, and one of the cases presented before them was one concern-ing Charlie Miller, whom was employed by the Haywood County Sheriff’s Department.

When asked for a comment concerning Miller, Haywood County Sheriff Melvin Bond re-

leased the following statement:“The Haywood County

Grand Jury returned a true bill against Charlie Miller, who was employed by the Haywood County Sheriff’s Department.

Miller has been charged with one count of patron-izing prostitution, and two counts of offi cial misconduct.

The Haywood County Sher-iff’s Department was alerted of the allegations on Novem-

ber 21, and immediately called an outside law enforcement agency to conduct an inves-tigation into these matters.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigations conducted the investigation, and worked in conjunction with Dis-trict Attorney Gary Brown.

Miller was terminated from the Haywood County Sheriff’s De-partment due to his being charged with crimes of moral turpitude.”

Drug distribution conspiracy earns Seymour a 151-month prison sentence

Mario Seymour, 29, of Brownsville, TN, was sen-tenced yesterday to 151 months in prison for his role in a conspiracy to dis-tribute crack cocaine, co-caine and marijuana, an-nounced U.S. Attorney Edward L. Stanton III.

In an October 11, 2012 ap-pearance before U.S. District Judge J. Daniel Breen, Sey-mour pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to possess and distribute more than 280 grams of cocaine base (crack cocaine), fi ve kilograms of cocaine, and marijuana.

In 2011, agents with the Drug Enforcement Admin-istration, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and Bolivar Police Department became aware of a drug traffi cking organization based out of Brownsville, Tennessee. As stated in court, the investiga-tion revealed that Seymour was a prominent member of the traffi cking organization and was engaged in actively distributing and directing others to distribute crack cocaine, cocaine and mari-

juana. Investigators were able to intercept shipments of crack cocaine and cocaine with the assistance of the Tennessee Highway Patrol.

On January 25, 2012, dur-ing the execution of an arrest and search warrant after a criminal complaint was fi led, Seymour was found in pos-session of a handgun, as well as approximately $103,000 in United States currency, be-lieved to be drug related. The currency was administra-tively forfeited to the investi-gating agencies to further fu-ture narcotics investigations.

In addition to the 151-month prison term, Breen also sentenced Seymour to fi ve years of supervised release. There is no pa-role in the federal system.

The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Ad-ministration, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, the Tennessee Highway Patrol and the Bolivar Police De-partment. The case was pros-ecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Matt Wilson on behalf of the government.Mario Seymour

Abby Hooper

Haywood County teacher arrested: charged with statutory rapeBY JENNIFER WILLIS and VICKY [email protected]@statesgraphic.com

According to a press release from the Brownsville Police Department, offi cers with the Brownsville Police Depart-ment arrested Abby Elizabeth Hooper, 12-28-1979, of 113 Wil-liamsburg Lane, on January 30. Hooper has been charged with aggravated statutory rape, resulting from an investi-gation requested by the Hay-

wood County School Board.According to the arrest war-

rant fi led in Haywood County General Sessions Court, Hoop-er “did commit the offense of aggravated statutory rape when she engaged in sexual intercourse with a child under the age of 18. The defendant, Abby Hooper, was 32-years-old at the time of the offense while the victim was 17-years-old at the time. This incident did in-volve the victim sexually pen-etrating the defendant while he was still under the age of 18.”

Haywood County Schools Superintendent Teresa Rus-sell was out of the offi ce, and therefore no comment concerning the situation was available at press time.

Hooper is scheduled to be in court on February 26 at 1:30 p.m. for an initial appearance.

Middle School Presidential Inaugural Conference Inspires

Tomorrow’s Leaders.Mary-Wyatt Pettigrew

was selected as an outstanding middle school student from across the United States to take part in a truly American celebration- the Inauguration of the President of the United States. During the fi ve day program, the Middle School Presidential Inaugural Conference provided Inaugural Scholars with deeper understanding of the history behind the electoral process and the rich traditions surrounding the

Presidential Inauguration. “The Presidential

Inaugural Conference provided students with an opportunity to take part in historic events that coincide with the Inauguration of the President of the United States,” said Dr. Marguerite Regan, Dean of Academic Affairs for the Presidential Inaugural Conference. “Something that is really wonderful about so many young people gathering in Washington, D.C. for this event is that it provided them a chance to become more familiar with and attuned to the president

who will govern our country over the next four years. We certainly hope this will inspire the next generation of U.S. leaders.”

Middle School Inaugural Scholars had the opportunity to hear about growing up in the fi rst family from former fi rst daughters Barbara Pierce Bush and Jenna Bush Hagar and also heard from fellow students who have affected change in their own schools and communities. Inaugural Scholars attended a special viewing party

and luncheon where they watched the grandeur of the inaugural parade on large viewing screens, as the President, Vice President and their families made their way down Pennsylvania Avenue from the U.S. Capitol Building to the White House. To further commemorate Inauguration Day, scholars attended an exclusive Gala Inaugural Celebration at National Harbor.

In addition to participating in inaugural events and festivities, scholars had the opportunity to explore

the numerous historic sites and memorials in our nation’s capital, as well as participate in activities designed to expand their knowledge of democratic principles and the presidential election process.

Mary-Wyatt Pettigrew is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Jack Pettigrew and an 8th grade student at Haywood Middle School.

Too many lives are being lost on Tennessee’s roadways, and state and local law enforcement are once again cracking down on those who ignore or violate basic traffi c safety laws.

More than 700 passenger vehicle occupants were killed

in Tennessee highway crashes during 2011, and 57 percent were not wearing seat belts at the time of the fatal crash.

Moreover, 27 percent of Tennesseans killed in motor vehicle traffi c crashes involved a drunk driver with a blood alcohol concentration

(BAC) of .08 or higher and 23 percent were killed in speeding-related crashes.

These numbers and these deaths are simply unacceptable. That’s why the Brownsville Police Department will once again be stepping up traffi c safety

enforcement, as part of a special More Cops. More Stops. crackdown, to help save the lives of more Tennesseans.

From January 25 through February 3, 2013, our law enforcement offi cers will be stopping; ticketing or arresting anyone caught driving

impaired, failing to wear a seatbelt, speeding or texting while driving.

This is just the latest wave in a concentrated Tennessee enforcement effort being conducted in partnership with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffi c Safety

Administration (NHTSA) to test the effectiveness of combined enforcement and promotion of our traffi c safety laws.

So remember – More Cops. More Stops. We will be working overtime to stop those who break the law and to save more lives in Tennessee.

was very hard to choose just one nominee because I believe that everyone should have the chance to have their pictures taken, so I chose two winners, Heather Mays and Anna Burch.

Heather Mays’ nomination letter read: “I heard about this wonderful thing that you are doing. It’s so precious and priceless! I would like to nominate Heather Mays. She has a precious two-year-old child, Amberlynn, whom is a joy! Heather is struggling so bad just to make ends meet and currently lives with me. She is in school to be a nurse, and is working really hard to make something of herself for her and her daughter. Unfortunately, the father

has never been there, and has never even met his child. Amberlynn has a serious heart condition, and had open-heart surgery at only nine days old. She is doing fi ne now, but the doctors say this will not be her last surgery, and her lungs are starting to leak again. Heather has never been able to have her pictures taken before because she couldn’t afford it, and I’m sure this would make her Christmas, as she very well deserves it.

Anna Burch’s nomination letter read: “I don’t know if you have chosen a winner for your contest, but I have the perfect girl! Her name is Anna Burch. She has lost her mother, father, and grandfather within the last year, and is now living in

foster care here in town. She is originally from Memphis. She also suffers from juvenile diabetes, and requires insulin injections four times a day. All of that and she is only 16. She is a really good kid! She is smart, kind, and very sweet, and I think a photo shoot would boost her spirits a little. If it is too late to enter her name into the contest, I would be willing to pay for a special session for her (anonymously). Please consider Anna, as she has touched my heart, and I’m sure she would touch yours as well.

Brown said, “I look forward to the sessions, and I encourage everyone to ‘pay it forward’ this year, even if it is just a smile to someone having a bad day.

Off the Beaten Path

A musical journey Part Two

Hey ladies! Want to look your youngest and most vibrant at work? Sure you do, and St Tropez, the tanning product company, has come up with a sure fi re way to do so.

It’s simple; you simply stay home from work on Wednesdays, at least in the afternoons.

Why? Because that’s when, according to a supposedly scientifi c study the company commissioned, women are most likely to look “wrinkly and haggard.” The study even pinpointed a specifi c time Wednesday when women look their worst; its 3:30 in the afternoon.

That’s right. At 3:30 p.m. women look their worst, and oldest, according to the company’s “scientifi c” study.

It is also, they say, when two-thirds of working women report a “slump in energy levels”, more than a fourth of whom say they resort to a sugary treat in order to fi ght off that fatigue and boost their energy levels.

One reason for this is that Wednesday is apparently the day of the week when women are most likely to work through their lunch hour. Not surprisingly, Wednesday is also the day of the week when more women report skipping whatever skin maintenance program they may be using.

Turns out the old song should have been, “Rainy Days and Wednesdays Get Me Down.”

But why? Common sense would tell you that women and men would be at their worst on Mondays, after rough weekends, or Fridays, after rough work weeks, but for women at least, it is on Wednesday afternoons that they hit their nadirs. By Wednesday afternoons the weekend is in sight. Shouldn’t everyone be starting to get happy by then?

Common sense would say so, but one of my sisters used to say, “common sense is for common people”, and whether or not that is correct, common sense doesn’t hold true here. What happens, according to “experts”, is that it takes until Wednesday for the negative effects of the previous weekend’s partying or working too hard at home and the stress of the fi rst two days of the work week, not to mention loss of sleep, to show up on a person’s

face.Now you may be

saying that you don’t “party” on the weekend, but many, many women do, in some fashion or another. Nearly half, for example, acknowledge that they enjoy at least one boozy treat on any given weekend, and many, of course, don’t stop there.

And contrary to popular belief, it is not the next morning that the effect of alcohol shows up on your face. That happens later; it can take up to 72 hours for the visible effects of the toxins in sugar and alcohol to manifest themselves, so those weekend cocktails could affect your appearance on Wednesdays.

Another reason women look their worst on Wednesdays, say the researchers, is that people usually go back to work on Mondays, and the shock of doing so, after two days off, causes differing degrees of insomnia in both women and men. More than a third of all women, as a matter of fact, claim that it is on Monday nights that they get their worst night of sleep.

And here again, a time lag exists between sleep deprivation and its visible effects on a person’s appearance. The effect of sleep loss doesn’t usually show up on a woman’s face for 48 hours, so that sleepless Monday night, coupled with unhealthful conduct on the weekend, can wreak ruin on a woman’s face by Wednesday. This may be exacerbated by the fact that nearly all women get about two hours less sleep than they need on any given night.

And too little sleep, from whatever cause, makes you look older, because it inhibits the ability of skin cells to rejuvenate properly. Ironically, too much sleep causes puffi ness of the skin that also

makes people look older. Obviously, there’s no way to beat this game.

The good news, however, is that by Thursday, the ill effects evident on women’s faces on Wednesday afternoons are gone. The midweek “hump” has passed; stress levels have begun decreasing and by Thursday night, most women feel good again. Thursday nights, as a matter of fact, are when women seem to feel most positive and also the most physically affectionate toward their husbands or signifi cant others, one reason, perhaps, that both women and men rate Friday as the happiest day of the week.

That Friday optimism, of course, leads to making a lot of plans for things to do and places to go on the upcoming weekend, which frequently results in overdoing things, which leads to sleep problems the following Monday night, more stress at the beginning of the week, and by the following Wednesday afternoon, women again look older and more tired than at any other time of the week.

But don’t worry ladies; the company that came up with this research has also come up with a product they say will get you beautifully past the Wednesday afternoon phenomenon they claim to have discovered. It’s called, Gradual Tan Plus Anti-Ageing Multi-Action Face, and the folks at St Tropez say it will prolong your youthful skin while fi rming, plumping and visibly diminishing the look of fi ne lines and wrinkles, and perhaps it will.

Anyway, if you’re interested, for a mere $35.00 you can purchase a tube and see for yourself. That’s right; $35.00.

Or, you could lay off the Cosmopolitans this weekend and get some sleep. That might just work even better.

Saving Face

I began with my musical journey last week looking basically at the early years and the beginning of the early pilgrimage.

I’ll continue this week with a look at the mid 1960s and the events that continued to guide my journey in the music industry.

There were three major events that played a major role in my musical journey. They included the coming of Brownsville Radio, the formation of the Tennessee Hayride, and my marriage.

While working at American Kleer-Vu Plastics in Brownsville in 1961, I met Gene Alexander who was a notable entertainer in the area. I got to know Gene and began to catch his performances in the area.

Shortly afterwards, WBHT-AM went on the air in Brownsville under the ownership of Roy Davis who was originally from Chattanooga.

Meanwhile, Gene and a group of other musicians performing in the area decided to organize a Saturday night country music show in Brownsville. The show was patterned after the Grand Ole Opry and the Louisiana Hayride.

When Brownsville

Radio went on the air, local groups signed on for Saturday segments for live broadcasts. I had taken up playing the drums by this time and worked with several of the groups. This went on about a year prior to the formation of the Tennessee Hayride.

The fi rst group that I worked with was Gene Alexander and Ray Pigue. I debuted as a drummer and vocalist with them and later organized my own band and had my own spot at the Tennessee Hayride.

During the year on the radio shows, I developed a friendship with Mr. Roy Davis and his wife, Roberta. I voiced an interest in becoming a disc jockey and Mr. Roy said he would be willing to teach me the ropes but would not put me on the payroll until I was licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). He was true to his word and a few years later, I passed the FCC test and began my work as a disc jockey.

While receiving no wages, I came out the winner. Mr. Roy sent me to seminars and DJ conventions where I had the opportunity to hob knob with some of the top performers in county music. He made the reservations

and paid all the expenses. This was a great learning experience.

After several years on the Hayride, I decided to broaden my musical horizon and extend my boundaries as an entertainer. I took on a manager and T.H. Williams of Bells was my fi rst and only manager during my career. It was also during that decade that we had a shot at recording.

I was married to my late wife, Carol, in September, 1968 and when our only child, a daughter, came along, the glitter and glamour of being on the road took a backseat to the desire of being at home to spend more time with the family. That desire and opportunities that were emerging toward a career in broadcasting won out and I packed up my guitar in 1971 and began my career in radio. I can honestly say at this time that I have never regretted the move. Thanks to the move, I also worked with an agency doing voiceovers and television commercials as well as producing. Much remains to be told, but maybe this will at least answer some of your questions. Thanks for allowing me to relive some of my most memorable moments.

I can’t believe it, but my sweet little boy will be fi ve-years-old Monday! I have caught myself thinking about the last almost fi ve years, and it honestly feels like it’s only been a year or two.

I remember when I found out I was pregnant with Jacob. I had fl own to South Carolina to see a friend of mine, and when I got back I didn’t feel good. I chalked it up to the change in climate, since most of it seemed to be the typical “sinus junk,” but fi nally gave in and went to the doctor.

When I got to the doctor’s offi ce, I explained to them that I hadn’t felt good in a couple of days, and fi nally gave in and needed some medicine. Well, they did the usual tests, and I waited. A little while later the doctor came in and said, “Well, I can tell you why you don’t feel good.” I sat there expecting him to say something like “you have a sinus infection.” But he didn’t. He said, “Congratulations, you’re pregnant.”

I know he must’ve thought I was crazy because I looked at him and said, “No, I’m not. I can’t be.” The doctor I saw while I was pregnant with Sarah explained to me that I probably wouldn’t be able to have any more children, so I didn’t think it was possible.

After I explained all of that to him, he told me he was sure. I as so overcome with joy that I began to

cry. I couldn’t believe it!Well, after a long and

diffi cult pregnancy, our little man arrived a healthy 7 pounds and 7 ounces! He was, and is, perfect! He has been an absolute joy in our lives since the day we found out that we were expecting him!

Jacob is the spitting image of his daddy, and is mommy’s sweet little boy. He can turn his mommy into a sucker in a heartbeat, according to my husband, and is getting bigger by the day. He is absolutely in love with all things Lego, especially Batman and Star Wars. He just recently discovered that they are now making Ninja Turtle Legos, so I’m sure that his seemingly never ending supply of

Legos will continue to increase. That is all he asks for when you ask him what he wants for his birthday.

Becoming a mommy has been the best part of my life. I get teary-eyed just thinking about how much love I have for them, and catch my eyes tearing up anytime I look at their sweet faces as they sleep. They are my world, my joy…a true gift from God. I will never understand why He chose to bless me with being their mother, but I am forever grateful to Him for doing so.

Happy Birthday Jacob Owen! Mommy loves you a “kazillion” too! (I love it when he tells me that he loves me ‘like a kazillion.’)

Happy Birthday Jacob!

“Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him…” Col. 2:6Do you remember that moment when you were fi rst saved? You knew there was nothing you could offer God and you found yourself elated and satisfi ed, simply knowing that Jesus was enough to pay your debt to the Father. Your joy and victory was simply “in Him.”

Yet, quickly we return to a mindset, which says, “I must do X…Y…and Z, in order to satisfy God.” I must repent more, study more, have more faith and surrender more! I must work to keep God happy! The truth is, you cannot repent “enough” to gain eternal life. Neither can you believe “good enough,” to merit eternal life.

Your faith, by itself, didn’t save you… Jesus saved you.When you received Christ, you came with nothing and trusted Him for everything. That is EXACTLY how you live the Christian life. “As you received Christ… so walk in him.”

Caltera Lions



Caltera Lions’ parents, Tonja Stocking and Calvin Lions, were told by the doctors when she was born that she would never walk or talk. That was 21 years ago, and not only did she learn to walk and talk, she is an independent woman and an inspiration to people all around her. This is Caltera’s story…

Caltera Lions was born on March 6, 1991 with a condition called arthrogryposis, or clubbed hands and feet. Doctors were quick to tell her parents that she would never do “normal” things like walk and talk, and Caltera was quick to prove them wrong.

Caltera underwent two surgeries as an infant. One of those surgeries was performed on her right arm. Doctors bent her arm one-half of a degree so that she could feed herself and grab things. Both of Caltera’s feet were turned in, so she underwent another surgery to straighten them out. After her surgeries, Caltera quickly began to accomplish things that she wasn’t suppose to be able to accomplish.

She began talking shortly after her fi rst birthday, and took her fi rst steps at age three. “I was always determined to do what other kids did,” said Caltera. “I have always thought of my handicap as being bumps and bruises.”

I asked Caltera to think back and tell me what it was like when she started school. “The thing that I remember most was the other kids pulling me around in a little red wagon,” she said. “I couldn’t walk as fast as the other kids could, so they would put me in a wagon and the other kids would pull me along with them.” She also recalled how helpful her friends were at school when it came to other things. “They use to help me button my pants in the restroom or carry my lunch tray for me,” said Caltera.

I asked Caltera if she ever had to deal with other kids making fun of her because of

her disability, and she said no. “I didn’t have to deal with that,” she said. “The other kids just accepted me for who I am. This is a small town full of loveable people who accept each other no matter what. And that’s what they did. They accepted me for me.”

Caltera bragged about how helpful the Haywood County School System was when it came to her disability. “All I had to do was tell one of my teachers that I needed some help,” said Caltera, “and they were there.” “They were so understanding then I would tell them that I needed a friend to ‘come to my rescue,’ and that made such a difference to me.”

She began therapy when she was a student at Eastside Elementary School, which not only helped her learn to do things on her own, but also inspired her to want to become a physical therapy assistant one day. “They changed my life, and I want to be able to do that for other people one day,” said Caltera.

Caltera remembers a big moment in her life was fi guring out a way to comb her own hair at the age of 10. From there she continued to fi gure out how to do things for herself.

Caltera made it to Haywood High and never let her disability slow her down. She will always be remembered for being the only student who was allowed to perform “Respect” by Aretha Franklin herself the last two years she was a member of the Girls Ensemble Concert Choir. She also served as the manager for the basketball cheerleaders. “I wanted to be a cheerleader, but I knew that my physical condition wouldn’t allow me to do that, so I participated however I could,” she said. Caltera also shocked the doctors, as well as her family, when she learned how to drive during her senior year.

Caltera graduated from Haywood High School in 2009 and went to work as a teacher’s assistant at the Kiwanis Center

in Jackson. She now works as a part time administrative assistant at Goodwill Career Solution, and lives independently in Jackson. Caltera has plans to continue to pursue a degree and begin a career as a physical therapy assistant.

Caltera has to occasionally deal with people who stare at her, so I asked her how she handled that. She gave me an answer I wasn’t expecting. “I don’t let it bring me down,” she said. “I would rather people just ask me what is wrong and give me the opportunity to speak to them. I don’t mind telling anyone about my disability.”

I asked Caltera who has been the biggest cheerleader in her life, and she quickly said “my mom and my sister.” Caltera’s sister, Taumesha Bledsoe, is not only her big sister, but her best friend. “I appreciate my mom and my sister. My mother never treated me like a handicapped child. She let me do what other kids did, even if I got bumps and bruises, and she is the reason I am who I am today. I don’t know where I would be without them. They have always pushed me to go after my goals, and they have been there with me through everything. They have never told me I can’t. As a matter of fact, they always told me to go do it and prove people wrong. My momma’s favorite thing to say was ‘there is no such thing as can’t,’ and I believe that to this day.”

Caltera enjoys singing and dancing, but has a real passion for cooking. Her grandmother, Willie Bell Lions, and her aunt, Carolyn Reed, taught her how to cook. “I grew up watching Aunt Carolyn cook, and spent many days at her restaurant helping her.”

Caltera is a hero because she has faced her physical disability with grace and perseverance. She never accepted the word “can’t,” and serves as an inspiration to her family, friends, and co-workers.

“Rebellion against your handicaps gets you nowhere. Self-pity gets you nowhere. One must have the adventurous daring to accept oneself as a bundle of possibilities and undertake the most interesting game in the world - making the most of one’s best.” -Harry Emerson Fosdick

Senate Education Committee Chairman Dolores Gresham (R-Somerville) has fi led legislation in the Tennessee General Assembly to authorize and encourage coursework in neurological or brain science as part of teacher training programs at the state’s public colleges and universities. Gresham said leading education experts agree that knowledge about the brain is essential for educators at all grade levels as an important part of understanding how students learn.

“Evidence continues to mount that there is great benefi t for our teachers

to have a rudimentary course on how the human brain works,” said Senator Gresham. “Neuroscience gives us much information to help us adapt learning technology to meet many challenges that face teachers today in trying to raise student achievement. A basic understanding of how the brain works helps teachers not only identify student diffi culties, but gives them more information to support families in taking appropriate steps to overcome these challenges.”

Gresham said Senate Bill 59 also promotes coordination

between educators and neuroscientists in Tennessee. She supports the establishment of a knowledge exchange network, which would provide cutting edge research regarding proven neurology-based approaches for teaching students.

Research shows remarkable new information regarding the brain’s function during adolescence that experts maintain have implications for everyone working with teenagers. This research includes new fi ndings regarding the effect of sleep deprivation in adolescence. There are also new breakthroughs

in understanding how long-term memories are created, which have implications for student learning.

“Teachers face many barriers, from adolescent sleep deprivation to learning diffi culties like Dyslexia and Dyscalculia,” said Gresham. “Tennessee has incredible scientifi c resources within our universities and elsewhere that we can tap into to better understand how we can utilize new discoveries to address such barriers. I am very excited about the opportunities that this legislation offers to increase student achievement.”

Haywood High School juniors and seniors met U. S. Congressman Stephen Fincher on Monday, January 28, when he visited the school. He spoke to the students about his time in offi ce and about Washington, D. C., and allowed them to ask questions. One student asked about gun legislation and another about healthcare. After the question and answer session, he took the

opportunity to talk to some of the students individually and meet the teachers. Congressman Fincher is a native of Crockett County and lives in Frog Jump where he is a managing partner in Fincher Farms, a seventh generation West Tennessee based agribusiness. He was recently sworn in to serve his second term representing the 8th District in Tennessee.

The Air Force Junior ROTC Group at Haywood High School recently conducted a Change of Command Ceremony; a time-honored military tradition where the Commander in Charge turns over his position

of authority to another cadet. Cadet Colonel Christopher Parker, the current Commander (left), exchanges the United States Air Force Flag with Cadet Lt. Colonel Rashad Mann, symbolizing the

exchange of authority from one to the other. Lt Colonel Mann will take up the challenge of leading the Group until the end of the school year. Christopher and Rashad are both seniors and will graduate this year with honors.

As the regular season winds down and the post-season approaches, the Haywood Tomcats appear to be playing their best basketball.

The Tomcats trailed Crockett County late in the second quarter Tuesday night at home, but a strong third quarter proved to be more than enough to get Haywood a 76-62 District 13-AA win, the team's third straight.

With the win, Haywood moved to 14-10 overall and 9-5 in league play, which puts the Tomcats in fourth in the 10-team district.

Crockett County (17-7, 12-3) beat Haywood ear-lier this season in Alamo, 57-55, and is second in the standings, but Haywood dominated the second half.

Haywood trailed 26-23 with 3:22 left in the second

quarter, but answered with a 12-2 run that ran over into the third quarter and never trailed again.

Sadarius Delk, who led all scorers with 25 points, scored on a dunk, two free throws, a 12-foot jumper and a 3-point play in the third quarter as the lead hit double digits for the fi rst time with 1:54 left in the third quarter.

Later in the period Ky-ler Douglas, who fi nished with 12 points, had a dunk and Jordon Varnado hit his third 3-pointer of the game with three seconds left in the quarter to push the lead to 54-41.

The lead never got smaller than 12 points the rest of the way.

Varnado fi nished with 15 points.

The Tomcats continue league play with three straight road games: Fri-day vs. Ripley, Saturday vs. Obion County and Tuesday vs. South Gibson.

The regular season wraps up Feb. 7 at home against Milan.

In girls action, the Lady Tomcats had a chance to pick up their second league win of the season, building a 33-25 halftime lead.

But the Lady Cava-liers (10-12, 7-8) outscored Haywood 17-5 in the third quarter en route to a 58-46 win.

Haywood (2-15, 1-13) was hot early.

Sierra Green and Madi-son Smith each scored six points for Haywood in the fi rst quarter and Maiya Bradford hit a 3-pointer as the Lady Tomcats built a 20-13 lead.

Summer Cunningham scored seven of her team-high 15 points in the fi rst half for the Lady Tomcats.

Smith fi nished with 10 points, all in the fi rst half.

A 15-2 Crockett run that spanned the third and fourth quarters proved to be the difference.

Tomcats win third straight

Lauderdale Middle School tried their best Monday night in Dy-ersburg to slow down what has been an un-stoppable Haywood Middle boys basketball team this year. Late in

the fi rst quarter, the Ti-gers trailed by just four points. But has been the case all year, Haywood put its foot on the gas and its opponent had no answer.

Haywood (16-0) put together a 30-4 run and won its fourth straight West Tennessee Athletic

Conference tournament title, defeating the Ti-gers 59-26. Relentless full-court pressure and a swarming a half-court defense once again sparked the run.

Jalin Turner scored seven points during the run and Cory Newble added eight as the lead

hit 30 points midway through the third quar-ter.

Dedric Boyd, the tour-nament MVP, scored six of his 15 points in the fi rst half, including a buzzer beater right be-fore halftime that gave Haywood a 33-11 lead.

Tristan Jarrett and

Newble added 12 points each for the Warriors.

“These guys just work so hard,” said Haywood coach Grover Harwell. “It's all about these players out there. I'm nothing without them.”

Jarrett, Montavious Pugh and Newble were

named to the all-tour-nament team. Boyd, Jar-rett and Newble were named all-conference.

The Warriors will move on to the sec-tional tournament as a No. 1 seed. They begin play Tuesday at 6 p.m. at Kate Bond Middle School.


Last year the Hay-wood Middle School Lady Warriors went un-defeated throughout the regular season only to fall in the West Tennes-see Athletic Conference Tournament title game.

This year the Lady Warriors fi nished what they started.

Haywood used a 10-2 run that spanned the sec-ond and third quarters to build a double digit lead it would not lose en route to a 36-24 win over Brighton Middle in the title game Monday in Dyersburg.

“It feels good to get this win,” Haywood coach Buffi e Turner said. “It's nice to have our cake and eat it too.”

With 1:52 left the sec-ond quarter, Brighton trailed 14-8.

But Kelsey Shutes

scored four straight points and Wandaryku Young followed with four more as the lead balooned to 24-10.

Brighton cut the lead to nine points briefl y in the fourth quarter, but never got any closer.

Young, the tourna-ment MVP, hit a 3-point-er with 4:01 left in the game to push the lead to 31-18 and put the game out of reach. She fi nished with a game-high 12.

Kelsey Shutes scored eight points for Hay-wood (16-0). Jamirah Shutes and Montasia Walker each scored six.

The Lady Warriors will open up sectional play Monday at 6 p.m. at Kate Bond Middle School in Memphis.

Kelsey Shutes, Walk-er and Rashaada Dancy each made the all-tour-nament team for Hay-wood. Young, Jamirah Shutes and Kelsey

Shutes were named all-conference.

Haywood defeated Dyersburg Middle in the tournament semifi -

nals on Saturday, 68-36. Jamirah Shutes scored 19, Kelsey Shutes 14, Walker 12 and Young nine.

“God steadies us when our way becomes treacherous.” This is our Thought for the Week as published in the Upper Room Devotional by Jason Miles of Ontario, Canada. With all the changes in the weather, one day it is seventy degrees and the next day it is twenty degrees and ice, this is similar to changes people face in everyday life. Life brings “fl ash freezes” or sudden changes that leave us wondering where God is. God is with us always and He will show us kindness in the midst of tragedy and loss. We just have to trust in Him.

Please continue to keep the families of Eddie West, Martavius Robinson, and Jarvis Gause who lost their lives in the tragic accident on Hwy 76 South recently.

Mama (Olivia Watson) and I visited with Joyce Goodman at Jackson General Hospital on Wednesday, January 23. She is now at home but please continue to keep Joyce in your thoughts and prayers.

Travis, Krystle and I, along with Mama and Doug Jones enjoyed supper at J’s Diner on

Friday, January 25. Jerry and Peggy Lewis, Jeanie and Georgia McBride, Chilton and Lavada Martin were also there.

Saturday, Sue Goodman, Barbara Hayes, Aleta Bradford, Opal Watson, Lavada Martin and I enjoyed a girl’s night out. A great time was had by all. Rhonda Holmes who had planned this get together was unable to be there as she was with her son, Clint Holmes at Jackson General Hospital having tests ran.

Baileigh Waldrop Austin sang the fi rst verse of “Joy to the World” on Sunday morning during Childrens Moments at Mt. Pleasant. Way to go Baileigh!

Mr. Luther Austin sang the special “God on the Mountain “at Mt. Pleasant on Sunday, January 27.

It was great to see Prentice Elrod back at church on Sunday.

Congratulations to James and Lucille Elrod on the birth of a great granddaughter.

Happy Anniversary to Dale and Wendy Elrod who celebrated on January 30.

Mt. Pleasant hosted a Prayer/Birthday

breakfast on Sunday, January 27.

Barbara Milam, Mark, Leann and Lexie Moore traveled to Little Rock, Arkansas on Saturday after receiving news that my Uncle Percy Watson was in the hospital.

Sympathy to the family of Mrs. Debbie Barken and Mrs. Anneli Myers in the loss of their loved ones. Both of these ladies were very special. I worked with Debbie’s brother Kenny Shaw and Mrs. Anneli’s daughter Rachel for several years. Both of these families are in my thoughts and prayers.

Prayer requests this week include Prentice Elrod, Jimmy Littlejohn, Annette Goodman, Luther Austin, Virginia Hayes, Jena Antwine, B.K. Kelly, Joyce Goodman, Enid Powell, Dorothy Bruce, Pattie Coburn,, Roscoe Martin, Ceree Canady, Carol Bruce, Ted Elrod, Clint Holmes, Percy Watson, Billy Edmonds, The Nation and The Community,

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

Until next week, God bless.

Dr. Randy Davis from the TBC led the worship at Zion Sunday morning. He used John 2, “The Wedding Ceremony” as an analogy to us being fi lled with the Holy Spirit! Like Mary said to the servants that day, “Whatever he says, do.”

It was great to see Rad Ellington back leading the music following his bout with vertigo last week. Also, Reese Ferrell and Mitch Platz blessed our hearts by singing, “Another Place and Another Time” for the ministry in music.

Justin, Britany, and Alivia Phillips joined us for lunch following their church service in Jackson. We also enjoyed a visit from mama (Alice Elrod) while awaiting P.M services at Zion.

Following Bible Drill practice and Discipleship Training, “His Voice” blessed our hearts as they led the worship at Zion Sunday night. That group sings from the heart and they sure know how to have a good time while praising the Lord!

Thanks to Brother Grover Westover from

Harmony for the men’s prayer breakfast report. He led the devotion from Joshua 1, “Be strong and of good courage” with eleven attending. If you would like to join this faithful group they meet each Thursday morning at 6:00 at ZBC.

Plans for Vacation Bible School are in the works as I met with the Fayette Association VBS Director Amy Watson Thursday night. Afterwards, Jimmy and I stopped at KFC for supper and ran into Earnest and Kay Kirkland. We had a fun time catching up, but nearly froze trying to eat with no heat. Congratulations to Kay on her new job with the Cozarts. She seems to enjoy it very much!

Congratulations to Caleb Potter on his high school graduation from Gateway Christian Schools. His proud parents, Randall and Belinda attended the ceremony in Memphis Friday night at Leawood Baptist Church. Others attending from Brownsville included his grandmother Alice Elrod, Norma Austin,

Allison Witherspoon and me.

Zion’s youth will have a Super Bowl Party February 3rd at the home of Brice and Hope Meeks. David Pinner will bring the halftime devotion. Zion’s seniors will meet at the Brownsville Grand Buffet for lunch February 5th at 11:00. Brian Arnold, concert pianist will be Zion’s guest on February 10th at all services. It sounds like February is full of fun!

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

Also, don’t forget to pray for and support Kelly Stewart and Sara Littlejohn as they plan their mission trips to Romania. They have until the end of April to come up with the $2500. You may contact them directly to donate to this worthy cause.

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

Thank you volunteers for coming this week: Christ Temple ladies, CCClub, Beech Grove Church of Christ, First Assembly of God Church ladies, Holly Grove Baptist Church, First United Pentecostal Church members, Westside Church of Christ members, Community Temple of the Living Church members, Bingo Ladies, and Mrs. Mary Virginia Moses.

We now have our Valentine box all fi xed up for your vote for

Valentine King & Queen. You can vote as many times as you want. So come and vote, vote, vote for your favorite resident for Valentine King and Queen. The box is located in the front lobby. Your vote is truly important.

We all had such a fun time making fried apple pies on Wednesday afternoon. It was great watching all the residents interacting with one another, helping each other. Then, they sat patiently waiting for the pies to

fry. They all enjoyed eating them.

We welcome Mr. Junior Jarmon to our facility and hope he enjoys his stay with us.

Our monthly birthday party will be February 7, Thursday, at 2:00 – We would like to wish a very “Happy Birthday” to: Mrs. Dorothy Estes – 2/6; Mrs. Georgia Williamson- 2/6; Mrs. Bertha Reed- 2/14; Mrs. Georgia Taylor- 2/19.

Thought for the week: You can be a heart specialist just by loving somebody.

“Living in the Spirit” was the subject of the message. After being saved, we must set our minds and hearts, not on earthly things, but on the things of God and realize our potential in the hands of God. Living in the Spirit, we are preparing for our life in heaven. God will forgive our sins, when we confess and ask His forgiveness, but He doesn’t remove the consequences. Let’s never forget, God will hold us responsible for the way we live our lives following conversion.

The choir sang, “A New Name in Glory” for special music under the direction of Brother Ralph Brown. It was beautiful. Between 8:30 a.m. and 9:30, every Sunday morning, Glen Claburn and Jerry McClinton serve breakfast down stairs at the church for anyone attending. Congratulations to the youth boys from Holly Grove, for winning the basketball game against Crocket Co. Christian Academy last Friday night. Mike Coburn is their coach.

Happy Birthday to Josh McClinton, Yvonne Ray, Caffey Sullivan, Bobby Perry, Samantha Snipes and Steve Brown. Dewey and I will be celebrating 55 years of married life on the 8th.

Congratulations to our own Andy Wynn who was chosen as the “Volunteer of the Year” and was presented an award by the Chamber of Commerce at their annual Membership Banquet. We are proud of you Andy. Dr. Jack Pettigrew was chosen as the “Man of the Year,” and Teresa Russell was chosen as the “Woman of the Year.” Congratulations to all those who received awards.

Those needing our prayers this week are Sonny Carr, Beverly Lewis, Jan Wynn, Betty Doyle, Viola Brown and Louise Coleman. Others are Debbie Jones, Bobby Perry, Lorene Qualls, Fletcher Lewis, Virginia Taylor, Melanie Jones, Sharon Davis, and Ray and Janie Hight. Also included Ray Lovelace, Sandra Posey, Mildred West, Betty Barden,

James Covington, Virginia Freels and Ashlynn Young. We express sympathy to the family of Mr. Bill English.

I was very surprised to hear that our own illustrious Miss Tina Turner from Haywood Co., Nutbush, Tenn has renounced her U.S. citizenship because of high taxes and will become a citizen of Switzerland. She should have had a talk with our president about that. This is a concern of a lot of Americans.

The redbirds and fi nches are devouring the sunfl ower seeds in our feeders. They empty them so fast. It’s been so cold I hesitate to get out and fi ll them.

The Discipleship Now is coming up for the youth soon. Fifteen youth have signed up; and ten adults will help with it. Brother Ralph Brown is leading in this event. The same weekend, the Valentine Friendship Banquet will be held in the family life center following church services that Sunday.

UT Extension and the Haywood County Family Resource Centers are introducing a new series designed just for parents! Table Talk Tuesday begins in February! This is a friendly, relaxed forum for people in unique parenting situations to receive education, resources, and support for themselves and their families. Each month will feature a different topic targeting a new audience of parents. The group will meet every Tuesday at noon at the Haywood Elementary Family Resource Center location. These sessions are free and intended to be fun and informative for parents.

During the month of February, we are presenting “Parents- YOU Are Special!” We are inviting parents of children with special physical, d e v e l o p m e n t a l , emotional, and academic needs to Table Talk Tuesday. We want to provide an opportunity for you to exchange ideas with other parents and gain new perspective on your irreplaceable role in the life of your child.

According to Disability Planning Data, in collaboration with Cornell University Employment and Disability Institute, the state of Tennessee had just over one million people age fi ve and older who had some type of physical or mental disability during

the period 2005-2007. For the purposes of their report, Haywood County is grouped with fi ve other counties for data reporting- Decatur, Hardeman, Hardin, Henderson, and McNairy. This cluster of counties had 31,000 persons with some type of disability during the same time period. These fi gures indicate that there are a number of parents that can benefi t from an outlet that not only provides education about helping their children manage the disability, but also serves as a source of support and nurturing for the parent as the caregiver.

The fi rst session of “Parents- YOU Are Special!” will be held Tuesday, February 5 at 12:00 noon. We will provide a lunch for parents that call ahead to register, so feel free to join us on your lunch break! Call the UT Extension Offi ce at 772-2861 by 5 pm Monday in order to reserve a lunch.

To fi nd us quickly when you arrive for the meeting, drive to the rear of Haywood Elementary School, park in the back, and enter in the door with the Family Resource Center sign.

Please note that your child does not have to attend Haywood Elementary School in order for you to participate. These sessions are open to ALL parents. If this Table Talk Tuesday topic would not benefi t you, please stay tuned. We are in the planning stages to present future topics. You can sign up for our e-mail notifi cation list and stay informed of all Extension and Family Resource Center programs by contacting Tennille Short at [email protected]. You can also LIKE the UT Extension- Haywood County page on Facebook for the latest program updates and information: www.facebook.com/haywoodcountyextension .

Baptist Men’s Day was observed at Allen on Sunday. The men of the church had breakfast together at 8:30 a.m., and men fi lled the choir loft for the main service.

Our youth DNow weekend is coming up February 8-9, and the Youth Evangelism Conference in Nashville is March 1-2.

My sweet baby Claire received a good report from her cardiologist this week. Please keep her in your prayers that everything will heal and be perfectly normal

at her next visit. She is a trooper.

My granddaughter, Krista, came in on Friday from Boston. We were so glad to see her and had a big family dinner to welcome her home. On a sadder note, Krista’s granddaddy, Dennis Corkery, is not doing well, so she came home especially to see him. Please keep Dennis in your prayers.

We extend our sincere sympathy to the families of Bill English, Mary Ann Carlton and Anneli Myers. Please

keep these families in your prayers.

On our prayer list are Dennis Corkery, Ernest Lytle, Marie Baggett, Doris Jernigan, Kasen Webb, Fletcher Lewis, Josephine Willis and Butch Wilson.

Our Bible verse for this week is Proverbs 16:9, which states, “A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.”

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

Have a great week.

It is the end of the fi rst month of the brand new year. How is this new year treating you so far? We hope that it is treating you very well. We have been enjoying our new year here at the library. We wish to extend a big hearty thank you to Mr. Andy Wynn from the Salvation Army who spoke for our Lunch & Learn program last week. It was very exciting to hear all about what the Salvation Army is doing here in Haywood County. Thank you Mr. Wynn for being with us! Now that the month of January will be over and the new month of February will be starting tomorrow, here is the calendar of events for the month. We hope that everyone enjoys the library as much

as we do! The library has some great things planned for the month, come on by and check us out.

Monday, February 4th and Monday, February 18th – Toddler Time at 11am. All toddlers and their caregivers are invited to the library to listen to stories, color/craft, and have a light snack. We love Toddler Time at the Library!

Wednesday, February 27th – Lunch & Learn at the Library. Each month we have guest speakers come and inform us about the happenings here in Haywood County. Our guest speaker is yet to be announced, so please stay tuned for details. Please remember to bring a lunch, the library will provide drinks and dessert.

A note about tax forms – no, we unfortunately do not know when the IRS is going to send us the forms that we ordered last fall. As soon as they are sent to us, we will put them out. It is frustrating to the library staff as well. Thank you for your patience.

The Friends group is actively working on scheduling the Friends Annual Membership Dinner Meeting and will hopefully be making an announcement about the date and time very soon. Please stay tuned for details. We are always looking for Friends members. Please consider becoming a Friend of the Library this year. Your donations really do make a difference.

Happy Reading!

The Community Fellowship Groups held its fi rst gathering for this year last Thursday at Douglas Chapel C.M.E. Church and enjoyed having guest from the Haywood County Branch of NAACP with us. Newly elected President, Mrs. Alma J. Carney, Mr. & Mrs. John Duckworth, Mrs. Laura Pearson, Ms. Dell Phillips, and Mrs. Martha Taylor, a fellowship lunch and great conversations, we invited them to visit us any time at their convenience. We will meet at the church for the present time but will go back to the Community Center as the weather warms up 11:00 a.m.-1:00p.m.

ASK OUR DOCTORSome Answers to Frequently Asked Health Questions

from First Care Medical Center

Garrick Clouden, M.D., Family Medicine

“Improve your diet and get more exercise,” is something we doctors say repeatedly to our patients, friends, family, and even to ourselves about getting and staying healthy. Let me answer a few questions about exercise.

Doctor, what is exercise?Any physical activity is considered exercise. But, running a marathon and changing tele-vision channels as activities have very different exercise results. Many have active life-styles--chasing kids around the house, standing and moving at work for an entire shift, or even lifting heavy objects all day---are examples of activities that keep you active. Here’s the BUT. Your body is a smart technology that learns what is a routine level of activity for you and then it accommodates that level. So in order to make exercise a change to improve your health, you will have to do an activity beyond what’s normal for you. For the purposes of improving your health, then let’s defi ne exercise as: An activity beyond your regular daily routine done with the intention of improving your cardiovascular health and to strengthen our body and mind.

How much exercise do I need?The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity and muscle strengthening activity on 2 or more days of the week. The good news is that aerobic activity can be broken into manageable segments, like 10 minutes at a time, which will yield results and is a great way to begin. And, before starting any exercise for health, I recommend that you talk to your health care provider.

How do I know if what I am doing is enough?You should be breathing a little harder than normal and some sweat is great. An objec-tive measure is to make sure that your heart rate is between 50-70% of your maximum when doing moderate exercise. Your maximum heart rate is determined by subtracting your age from 220 bpm (beats per minute.) For example, a 50 year old should have a heart rate between 85 and 119 when performing an activity of moderate intensity [(220 bpm – 50 years x 50-70%]

What are some exercises I can do? Walking is great! However, remember you’re trying to get our heart rate up, so pump your arms and pick up your pace. Bike riding and dancing are also great, and swimming and running are examples of more strenuous activities. Here are some additional online sources for information about exercise: http://www.cdc.gov/physicalactivity/;http://familydoctor.org/familydoctor/en/prevention-wellness/exercise-fi tness.htmlhttp://www.heart.org/ (click getting healthy)
