The Brownsville Fire Department responded to a house fi re on Bunch Street Wednesday, April 24.

Shortly after fi remen ar-rived, a puppy was found inside the home. She was handed out the front door to Captain David Smith, who immediately took ac-

tion to try and save her life.He knelt down on the

front lawn and began to pe-form CPR on the puppy. I watched him, with tears in my eyes, perform CPR for more than fi ve minutes.

Smith eventually sat up on his knees with the puppy in his arms, and gave her a few more mouth to nose breaths, and then the puppy began to breathe on her own.

Vicky and I took the pup-py to Dr. Smith’s offi ce, and returned to work still in awe at what we had witnessed.

We saw true compas-sion that day. It is some-thing I will never forget.

I went to talk to Captain Smith, and he said it’s the sec-ond animal he has saved. The fi rst was back in the 1980’s. He also told me that the own-ers brought the puppy to the

fi re station Saturday, and that she was going to be just fi ne.

Captain Smith’s actions no doubt saved the puppy’s life. Firefi ghters risk their lives every day, and run into situations that most people run away from. Captain Smith displayed exactly how much fi refi ghters care about what they do, and proved that they go the extra mile to help ALL of those in need.

The Como Mamas roll into ‘the heart of the Tennessee Delta’”

Sunday, May 5 - 3 pmAnn L. Marks Performing Arts Center, College Hill

Tickets - $12.50 / $6 children 6 - 18

A group of professional health educators will provide a light-hearted approach to a serious subject when they present a cancer prevention musical Saturday, May 4, in Brownsville. The performance will begin at 6 p.m., at the Ann Marks Performing Arts Theater. While there is no admission charge for the event, donations will be accepted and will benefi t the American Cancer Society.

Known as the Cancer Queens, the group presents ways to improve health and reduce cancer risk through original lyrics and dances to tunes of popular songs. For

example, dancing to the tune of Brooks and Dunn’s “Boot Scootin’ Boogie,” they encourage audiences to eat fruit and veggies and to go and get their Pap smears” to a parody of the Little Eva song, “Locomotion.”

I’m always amazed at the lack of knowledge and awareness of the impact on health that simple lifestyle choices can have,” said Brownsville Relay for Life Chairperson Carolyn Flagg. “The Cancer Queens present that information in a way that is fun and easy to remember. They engage audience members by entertaining them and drawing

them into the fun.”Recognized by the

Centers for Disease Control, the Cancer Queens have been bringing their health messages to audiences in churches, schools, women’s organizations and other venues across the state of Tennessee for the last three years. The group is part of the Offi ce of Community Outreach of the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, in Nashville.

Photo submittedFor over 100 years, the

families of the Nutbush and surrounding communities have gathered at the Trinity United Methodist Church in Nutbush for a Mother’s Day/Decoration Day gathering. The gathering features a speaker, church services and dinner on the ground surrounding the church. This year’s program will be on May 12, 2013 beginning at 10:30 at Trinity United Methodist Church in the Nutbush Community. The Trinity Cemetery is known as being one of the better kept cemeteries in this area and contains graves of troops from the Civil War era to the present. These patriots’ graves are decorated yearly with fl ags representing their country and war efforts. This program began shortly after the Civil War’s conclusion and continues through today.

Featured this year will be Lt.Gen. Glad Castellaw of Crockett County. General Castellaw’s military service began in 1972 after graduating from the University of Tennessee-Martin. His fi rst duty was as an offi cer in the Marine amphibian tractor, tank and infantry units in Okinawa, Japan

and California. He became a helicopter pilot in 1976, and was later instrumental in helping bring the MV-22 Osprey into military use. The Osprey is a vertical/short takeoff and landing aircraft. Its propellers tilt to the position of an airplane or helicopter. It has been the most effi cient weapon in the transporting the troops in Afghanistan to remote and desolate areas.

General Castellaw was promoted to colonel in 1994 and was given the position of commanding offi cer of Marine Weapons and Tactics Squadron One. Ten years later, he became chief of staff for American military operations, overseeing 250,000 servicemen and women in 27 countries. During his 36 year career, he held several commands including Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 264, Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron 1, the 3d Marine Expeditionary Brigade, U.S. Forces East Timor, and the 2d Marine Aircraft Wing. As a staff offi cer, he served on several high level military staffs in Europe, the Asia-Pacifi c and the Middle East. His last

assignments on active duty were in the Pentagon where he oversaw Marine Aviation and the Marine Corps budget creation and execution.

In 2008 he retired with the rank of Lieutenant General and returned home to the family farm. There he has resumed his fi rst love, farming. He also serves on the board of directors for The Bank of Crockett and, in the community, he volunteers as a member of the Crockett County Industrial Board, the Board of Visitors for the Veteran’s Museum, and the Tennessee State Veterans’ Homes Board.

As a retired service member, General Castellaw maintains a deep interest in National Security issues and in veterans’ affairs. He participates actively with various groups working to ensure this nation’s defense needs are met and serves on the Department of the Navy’s Naval Research Advisory Committee. As a veteran, he is a member of the Marine Corps League, The Marine Corps Association, and The Naval Institute and is serving his fi rst term as the National Commander of the Marine Corps Aviation Association.

He is married to the former Wanda Nelson of Obion County, a Senior Policy Analyst for Science Applications I n t e r n a t i o n a l Corporation (SAIC), who works in support of the Department of the Army’s personnel programs. They have one son, Jake, who works with the Department of Justice in Washington, D. C.

Bringing the music for this patriotic and memorial service will be the “Singing Fireman” David Smith. All are invited to come and fellowship in this covered dish and dinner on the ground program.

The theme for this year’s Nola Walker Bond (pic-tured above) Day was “Today’s Youth-Fulfi lling their Dreams Through Education.” The Nola Walker Bond Scholarship Fund has given two $500 scholarships to deserving high school students who maintain a “C” average and have the potential but no means for a quality education for the past 11 years. That amount has now increased to $700. Pictured top right: The NAACP Youth Council and their youth advisor, Mrs. Patricia Thomas.

So I’m strolling through Hobby Lobby last Saturday morning, waiting while my wife and younger daughters fi nish their shopping, when I walk by a group of paintings, one of which depicts what appear to be stars in a deep blue twilight sky.

“Starry, starry night,” I say to myself, thinking of the painting, Starry Night, by Vincent van Gogh, but saying, in my mind, “starry, starry night,” ah la the Don McLean song, “Vincent (Starry Night).”

And just that quickly, the lyrics, snippets of them anyway, began boring into my mind;

Starry, starry night,

Paint your palette blue and grey,

At fi rst it was a pleasant experience, calling up words from a song I once liked a lot, trying to remember what I could of the lyrics. I’ve read that though most of us sing off key, we remember songs pretty much like they’re supposed to sound.

And that’s what I was doing, but I didn’t know many of the words, and I confl ated the fi rst two verses and skipped from “Paint your palette blue and grey” to;

Swirling clouds in violet haze,

Refl ect in Vincent’s eyes of china blue.

And then I jumped over several notes to;

And when no hope was left in sight,

On that starry, starry night,

You took your life as lovers often do,

But not remembering what came next, I looped back to the beginning, “Starry, starry night,” at which time I gave up, but the song wouldn’t quit. The tune and phrase, “starry, starry night,” along with the next line, kept bouncing around in my head, and for the next few minutes there was nothing I could do to stop it. I was suffering from a spontaneous episode of “involuntary musical imagery.” In other words, I couldn’t get the darned song out of my head. It was “stuck” there, hence another name for the phenomenon, “stuck song syndrome.”

Now people who study such things (and believe it or not, there are serious people who do) say that 98% of us have encountered such an experience as I had Saturday, and that 90%

of us have had one that lasted more than an hour.

Mine did not. After about 15 minutes, my wife had completed her shopping, and as we were walking back to the car, just telling her what had happened to me seemed to make it disappear.

But it got me to thinking; where do those song snippets (people who study them refer to them by the hideous term, “earworms”) come from, and why are they sometimes so hard to get rid of?

Well, the answer appears to be, “Nobody really knows.” No one can say with certainty why some songs, or parts of them, seem to stick in certain people’s minds for amazingly long periods of time.

They do know a few things about them however. They know, for example, that they generally infl ict people when they are in a positive emotional state and while they are participating in a non-intellectual activity like walking, just as I was doing Saturday morning.

They also know that this experience happens more to women than men, and that it also infl icts slightly neurotic people more often than others, and no, I’m not suggesting any sort of correlation there.

My “earworm” left my head after a few minutes, but for some people they can last hours, even days. Consequently, people try all sorts of things to get rid of them, usually beginning with thought suppression. “Stop doing that!” you say to your mind, but of

course, that makes you think of it even more. It’s really, really diffi cult to will yourself not to think about something.

Singing the entire song is sometimes suggested, but fi rst of all, that doesn’t work for most people, and second, usually you know only part of the songs that infect your mind anyway.

Some people report modest success with replacing the offending lyrics with those from another song, but they often get the new song hung up in their auditory cortex as well.

Another method, and the one that worked for me, even though I didn’t know it was a tactic at the time, is to tell someone else what is going on in your head. That sometimes seems to drive the earworm out.

But those university researchers who study this phenomenon say the very best way to remove them is to simply get busy with something that engages your mind. Build a birdhouse, watch a ball game or read a book. Working out anagrams (rearranging letters of a word to form a different word) works best of all, they say.

Of course, you could also try turning on the radio in hopes of hearing a new song that will chase the old one out of your head, but if you do, you might want to avoid oldies’ stations. Otherwise, you might fi nd yourself humming snippets of Mongo Jerry’s “In the Summertime” or “Hey Jude” for the rest of the day.

Now that would be really annoying.

There’s a Song in the Air

A recent article in USA Today was about states that seek to lift Sunday hunting bans. It reported that “lawmakers and hunting advocates in North Carolina and three other states are working to change ‘blue laws’ that ban hunting on Sunday.”

The article also reported that eleven other states prohibit hunting on Sunday and most of those bans were enacted for “long standing religious reasons.”

Some of the bans date back to 1896. According to the article, the bans have their roots in religious observances much like the states’ ban on selling alcohol before noon on Sunday.

The purpose in writing about the subject is not to lambaste hunters anywhere but to show how “blue laws” have been vanishing for years and the affect that the lifting of these bans may or may not have upon the future of the Christian church in our society

Blue laws have taken on a number of names over the years. They have been known as blue laws, Sunday blue laws, Sunday-closing laws and Sunday statutes.

Some historians tell us that such laws can be traced back to the Puritan colonists and the southern and

Midwestern states passed many such laws during the mid to late 19th century. These laws targeted such groups as saloon operators, Jews, Seventh-Day Adventists, and non-religious groups. In some cases, the laws carried stiff penalties for doing non-religious activities on Sunday. Some historians say that punishments for non-religious activities were an effort to enforce religious observance and church attendance.

By the mid-1900s, the laws were met with many challenges that eventually made their way to the U.S. Supreme Court. In 1961, the Court rejected challenges to Sunday laws in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts

The opinion of the Court agreed “There is no dispute that the original laws which dwelt with Sunday labor were motivated by religious forces.” The Court agreed that the laws also served secular purposes that included establishing a day of rest. The Court furthered agreed that while Sunday is a day of great signifi cance for the dominant Christian faith, it does not bar the State from achieving its secular goals.

Justice William O. Douglas issued his dissenting statement which said, “I do

not see how a State can make protesting citizens refrain from doing innocent acts on Sunday because the doing of those acts offends sentiments of their Christian neighbors.”

As we continue to study this subject, it appears that the opinion of Justice Douglas has become the dominating opinion of today. Our nation has grown into a society of religious diversity and ideas and blue laws are quickly becoming extinct in our nation. Christian churches are on the decline. There is some speculation that the Christian Church in America could become a minority faith within a decade or so.

But let it be understood that the Christian Church will not be defeated by the abundance or the lack of blue laws, nor will it be defeated by Supreme Court rulings and opinions.

The Christian church must not develop a defeatist attitude and stay away from the blame factor. It must look within for a new focus that is true to the teachings of our faith. For too long, Christians have emphasized those things that divide us. The time could be upon us when we must seriously consider those things that unite us in the name of Christ.

Another bump in the road

Somebody asked me a question last week, and I wanted to address it here. I was asked why I choose to “stay here and write for the States-Graphic when I could go somewhere else and write for a big town paper.” The answer is simple. But when I explained it to the person with whom I was talking, they seemed confused. They asked a couple of other questions that I thought I’d share here as well.

Why do I stay here? I love THIS newspaper. I love the people I work with. I love the company I work for. I love THIS community. It’s that simple.

Granted there are parts of my job that I am not as in love with, but don’t we all have something about our jobs that we aren’t exactly crazy about? I wish I only had good news to report, but it unfortunately doesn’t work that way. It is my duty to report both the good AND the bad. I do that without bias, and hope that, if nothing else, I earn the respect of our readers.

There are a lot of really good things that happen

in our community. I can’t be everywhere at one time, as hard as I try, but we do try to stay on top of everything going on. Unfortunately bad things happen too. My favorite stories to write are good ole, feel good, human-interest stories like the “Hometown Heroes” or like the one I wrote this week about David Smith saving the puppy.

The next question to come up in our conversation was why are there some weeks when we are two sections and 22 or 24 pages, and other weeks we are one section and 14 or 16 pages. That answer is also simple. It all depends on available news content and advertising. We love to be two sections and 20+ pages, but it unfortunately cannot always happen.

The last question was whether or not I ever see myself moving on to “bigger and better things” in the future. In my mind, there is no bigger and better. I already work for the best company I have ever worked for. I have awesome co-workers, and we support each

other both at work and outside of work. We are a small bunch here at our offi ce, but are more like family than co-workers.

I hope each and every one of our readers enjoys the stories I write, because I am here to stay. I have no plans to “move on,” and will continue to thoroughly enjoy coming to work everyday. I also hope that I eventually earn each reader’s respect. Respect is something that is earned and not given. I keep that in mind every time I sit down to write.

On a side note, I would like to thank all of you who have ever stopped me in public or sent me a note to tell me how much you enjoy reading what I write. Especially when it comes to this column. I write about my personal life most of the time in hopes that our readers will feel like they know me whether they do or not. But I honestly appreciate all of the encouragement from our readers.

There are a lot of fun things going on in Brownsville this weekend…I hope to see all of you there!

Why do you stay here?

Members of the Eighth Review Club met April 23 in the lovely country home of Elaine McCool. Club members enjoyed a delicious dessert served by co-hostess, Susan Smith.

Kathleen spoke of acquiring a Grand Junction business, Tennessee Pewter, in 2008, then moving it to west Tennessee, where she now works with her father and uncle on a daily basis. She explained how they cast, seal, and polish pewter products. Everyone could feel Kathleen’s passion for her craft and her desire to carry on the art involved in making items of such exceptional beauty.

May birthday wishes were expressed to Amy Moss and Ann Harrell.

April minutes were read by Secretary Betsy Thornton, and were approved as read. Voluntary offerings to send at-risk Haywood County youngsters to a Christian camp this summer were accepted by Treasurer Alice McClanahan.

May 4, 1973Key 73 People Search Census

A Key 73 People Search will be conducted in Haywood County beginning this weekend and continuing on through May 12.

Key 73 is a type of census that is being conducted by many of the churches of the community which include many of the Baptist, Methodist and Presbyterian denominations.

As partygoers celebrate Cinco de Mayo with sombreros, mariachi music and authentic cuisine, many will also indulge with their favorite margarita or tequila, and then, unfortunately, choose to get behind the wheel. That’s why this year the Brownsville Police Department is joining with others across the state and nation to encourage everyone to plan ahead this Cinco de Mayo and to never drink and drive. “With Cinco de Mayo celebrations on the rise across the country, alcohol-impaired crashes, injuries and fatalities will also rise,” said Chief Chris Lea. “But buzzed driving is drunk driving, and is never safe or acceptable. So folks should plan ahead now to avoid the temptation on the big day.” From 2007 to 2011, 38 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities that occurred each year around May 5th involved impaired drivers or motorcycle

operators with blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) of .08 and above, according to the National Highway Traffi c Safety Administration (NHTSA). During the 2011 Cinco de Mayo holiday alone, 35 percent of motor vehicle fatalities involved an alcohol-impaired driver or motorcycle operator with a BAC of .08 and above. A disturbing 80 percent of the alcohol-impaired fatalities involved a driver or motorcycle operator with nearly twice the legal limit of .15. Chief Lea said that people could still enjoy the holiday and celebrations without putting their lives or the lives of other innocent victims on the line. “When people start celebrating, they often aren’t thinking of how they will get home from the restaurant or a friend’s house, and they don’t realize how much they’ve had to drink and make a bad choice that ends in tragic consequences,”

said Chief Lea. “That’s why we are reminding folks to play it safe and plan ahead.” “You should always designate a sober driver before the party begins” said Chief Lea. “But, if you don’t plan ahead, and you’ve been drinking, please do not get behind the wheel. There are plenty of other alternatives that will keep you and others safe and out of trouble.” Party-goers can call a friend or cab, to arrive home safely. The Brownsville PD said offi cers will be on the lookout for impaired drivers during Cinco de Mayo, and those who are caught drinking and driving will be arrested. “We want to make sure that everyone lives to see, and enjoy, Cinco de Mayo,” said Chief Lea. “So we’re working hard to remind everyone that Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving and to never get behind the wheel after drinking alcohol.”

In Luke 8:22-25, Jesus calmed a great storm. After preaching and ministering all day, Jesus and his disciples get into a boat and sail across the lake of Gennesaret. “And as they sailed he fell asleep.” (Luke 8:23). The disciples were terrifi ed and confused that Jesus slept. Just like we are when circumstances and events in our life seem like they are spiraling out of control. Jesus arose and spoke to the wind and it ceased. He asked the men, “Where is your faith?” (Luke 8:25). After all the things Jesus had said, all the things he had taught them, they should have trusted in him. How much more should we, who have the complete revelation of God in his Word. You may be going through one of the worst ordeals of your life. It may seem like Jesus is asleep at the wheel, or that you are abandoned. However, if you are his disciple, if you are one that loves God and is called according to his purpose (Rom 8:28)…“Where is your faith?” (Luke 8:25).

Staying alive: Tomcats edge GC in tourney openerBy JEFF [email protected]

The ramifi cations of Haywood's opening round District 13-AA Tournament game Tuesday at home were simple: beat Gibson County and stay alive or lose and the season was over. It was far from easy, but thanks to a late key hit the Tomcats won 4-3 and moved into double elimi-nation tourney play, which begins today at Milan at 6 p.m. The scored was 3-3 heading into the bottom of the eighth when Seth Bird-song walked and Jarron Bryant doubled, putting runners on second and third. With a full count and two outs, Drew Bag-gett came through with an RBI single to provide the game winner. Haywood (10-22) scored single runs in the fi rst, fourth and fi fth innings to lead 3-0, but the Pioneers answered with a run in the sixth and two in the seventh to force extra innings. Birdsong was 2 for 2 with a double and Scott Vanstory drove in a run. Blake Porch and Jordan Fitzgerald each

singled as Haywood managed six hits. Porch pitched an inning and a third and didn't allow a hit to pick up the win. Birdsong struck out fi ve and allowed seven hits and two earned runs in six and two-thirds innings. In other action: • Haywood defeated Halls at home last Thursday, 7-1. Bird-song had a big game for the Tomcats, doubling in a pair of runs and pitching a complete-game four hitter. He struck out eight and walked two. Blake Porch and Scott Vanstory each drove in a run and Blake Esquvias scored twice and singled. • The Tomcats scored three times in the bottom of the seventh in-ning on Monday at home against Jackson North Side, but it wasn't quite enough in a 5-4 loss. Hay-wood had just two hits, but took advantage of fi ve JNS errors to stay in the game. Jordan Fitzgerald and Thomas Currie each singled for the Tomcats. Dustin Staggs, Hunter Roten and Vanstory com-bined to hold the Indians to six hits.

The Hayood High softball team hasn't been able to pick up many wins of late, but they've been competing very well against some stiff competition.

Last Thursday on Se-nior Night, Haywood played Obion County tough before falling 4-3, the team's seventh one-run loss of the year.

Summer Cunning-ham, Morgan Marlar, Kaleigh McCaslin, Katie Lews and Anne Marie Sceals each had hits for Haywood.

“That was the best game of the season for

us,” said Haywood head coach Holly Chilcutt. “We played a really good game.”

On Tuesday in Troy, Sceals, McCaslin, Mag-gie Herron and Alyssa Campbell each had hits for Haywood in a 5-0 loss.

Monday in Covington, Haywood led Covington 4-2 before the Lady Char-gers rallied late for a 10-4 win.

“They put in their ace pitcher late in the game,” Chilcutt said. “That says something right there. We were right with them until the end.”

Haywood (5-21) begins district play today on the road against an opponent to be determined.

“Our offense has im-proved by leaps and bounds this year,” Chilcutt said. “We've re-ally been using the bats this year. We just need to bring in a few more runs.”

Six members of the Haywood High School girls track team compet-ed at the state meet last season.

Its' pretty clear head coach David Claybrooks, who said he was shocked last year when so many of his athletes qualifi ed for state, as well as his student-athletes are ex-pecting to send more people to Murfreesboro this year.

“Last year we kind of got like a taste of state,” said Dannon Eubanks, a sophomore who went to state last year as an alternate. “So this year it's like we know what's there and we all want to be there. We want both teams (boys and girls) there this year.”

The path to state be-gins next Tuesday at the Sub-Sectional meet at Dyersburg High School. That meet continues on Thursday (the meet starts at 4 p.m. each day) and top performers there move on to the section-als May 16-17, where state meet bids will be earned.

Haywood's boys will be one of the favorites to win the Class A-AA Sub-Sectional as a team, along with Dyersburg, Fayette-Ware and Jack-son Central Merry.

The Lady Tomcats fi n-ished third at last year's Sub-Sectional. Dyers-burg will be the favorite, with Haywood, Fayette-Ware and Madison Aca-

demic fi guring to com-pete for second through fourth.

“This is what we’ve been training for all season,” Claybrooks said. “The kids have had these post season track meets marked on their calendar since we started offi cial practice back in February. We’re very aware of the last time a Haywood track and fi eld team either won Sub-Sectional or

fi nished as runners-up. To be truthful, it’s been so long that none of the athletes could tell you the last time.”

Haywood has had an excellent season so far, competing all over West Tennessee and making trips out of state to pre-pare themselves for this time of year.

“We're feeling really good, really confi dent,” said Jalen Ellison, a se-nior who competes in

in the long jump, 4x100, 4x200 and 4x400. “Last year we had a few bumps in the road. This year we've fi gured out what events everybody is going to do.”

“I think we've im-proved a lot,” said ju-nior Patsy Jameson, who competes in the 4x800, 800 meters, 3200 meters and long jump and went to state as an alternate last year. “We're getting faster. I've seen my times

get faster and all of our times get faster.”

Jameson set a school record earlier this year in the 3200 meters.

Last year's success at-tracted a few more stu-dents to the track team, including senior Ro-neisha Alexander, who had never run track be-fore joining the team this spring.

Now she competes in fi ve different running events, including the 100

and 200 meter dashes. “I was playing pow-

der puff football,” Alex-ander said. “I honestly didn't know I could run that fast. They asked me to come out (for the team), so ...”

Haywood wraps up its regular season today at the Rotary Relays in Union City.

“We're just trying to make it out of this week alive and well,” Clay-brooks said.

Is the date of the newspaper correct? Is it really the month of May already? That is so very hard to believe. It seems just like yesterday that we were celebrating New years and now almost half the year has gone by. Time fl ies when you are having fun. We have a lot of fun here at the library.

The library would like to thank Mr. Joel Southern, CEO of Haywood Park Community Hospital for speaking to our Lunch & Learn group last week. Thank you for sharing your vision and time with us.

Here is our current

calendar of events for the library for the month of May:

We have Toddler Time on Monday, May 6, and Monday, May 20 at 11am. We will have stories, coloring/craft, and a light snack. All toddlers and their caregivers are invited to attend Toddler Time at the Library.

Lunch & Learn will be offered on Wednesday, May 22 at 12 noon in the library meeting room. Our guest speaker for the month is still being planned, so please stay tuned for details. As always, please remember to bring a lunch, the library will provide

drinks and dessert.Now that spring is

fully here, that means that summer is not too far behind. What does the library have planned for this summer? We have our annual Summer Reading Program for all ages, that’s what! This year’s summer reading theme is “Dig Into Reading!” and, boy, are we excited! More details to come soon, stay tuned!

The Elma Ross Public Library will be closed on Monday, May 27 in observance of Memorial Day. We hope that everyone has a blessed day.

Happy Reading!

Wow! That’s what Zion Baptist Church experienced Sunday morning when Brother Bobby Russ delivered his sermon. Using various Scripture passages, he showed the glory of God, “Shekinah-the Hebrew word for visible.” He started with Moses in the Exodus and ended in Matthew where Mary experienced the “Glory of God!”

Sunday night was a continuation in which he stated, “The Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father.” His focal Scripture was Matthew 16-17.

We also received a report from Sara Littlejohn and Belief in Motion leaders concerning their trip to Romania. With a total of twenty-two including Kelly Stewart, they will leave the end of May for two weeks. The Roberson’s will be starting a school there.

We had a fun-fi lled week with our daughter Becky and granddaughter Lyla-Grace visiting. Several family members dropped by daily. Thursday they enjoyed a picnic at Whiteville Lake after visiting with relatives in Hardeman County. Another granddaughter Alivia spent a night and was able to play at the park with granddaughter

Lillie following Mason and Jacob’s ballgames. I sure did hate to see them leave Friday, but the boys were ready for their mom to come home.

There were seventeen men and Brother Bobby Russ brought the devotion for the men’s prayer breakfast Thursday. If you would like to join this faithful group they meet each Thursday morning at 6:00 at ZBC and would love to have you come and pray for your community.

Congratulations to Zion’s Bible Drillers on a job well-done Saturday at West Jackson Baptist Church. Claudia Jones, Paige Meeks, Allison Witherspoon, and David Tritt made “State Winner Superior” and Nolan Schwarz was “State Winner” in the Children’s Division; Sara Castellaw, Thomas Tritt, Allison Wright, Emily Wright and Avery Schwarz were “Regional Participants” and Elizabeth Tritt was runner-up in the Youth and High School Divisions. Thanks to all the leaders and parents for working with them.

Happy anniversary wishes to Ray and Hilda Ellington who were married forty-nine years last week. Ray is our Sunday school teacher and mentioned Sunday

morning how blessed he was. We were also blessed with his expertise while attending to an electrical problem we had Sunday afternoon.

Congratulations to their grandson Tritt Ellington who made the highest score on the National Latin Exam in his Classical Conversations Challenge, a group in Millington. Zion is very proud of Tritt as well as his parents Rad and Libba.

Mark your calendars and pray for these events! Bridal shower for Katherine Tritt will be May 2 at 6:30 in Zion’s FLC. Tennessee Southern Baptist Disaster Relief’s benefi t stew and bake sale May 4 at the WOW Building in Brownsville at 11. Zion’s senior adults will travel to Covington May 7 and have lunch at the Bald Butcher. They will leave the church at 10:00. Zion’s VBS Kickoff will be held 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!

Welcome, welcome Mrs. Louise Conner. Mrs. Judith Drew, Mrs. Ione Turner, Mrs. Jessie Walker, and Mrs. Pearlie Duncan to our facility and hope they enjoy their stay with us.

Everyone seemed to enjoy the volunteer social on Thursday afternoon. We had approximately 22 volunteers to attend. They enjoyed delicious strawberry cake with cream cheese icing and punch. Five of our

residents: Mrs. Lottye Floyd, Mrs. Marie Baggett, Mrs. Opal Brack, Mrs. William Batchelor and Mr. James Bell modeled hats, each one representing just how important the volunteers are to them. We certainly appreciate all of our volunteers. Thank you, for all you do.

We extend sympathy to the families of: Mr. Billy Rogers, Mrs. Mary Owens, Mrs. Pear Gray, and Mrs. Jolene Russell. They are truly missed.

Thank you volunteers for coming this week: Christ Temple ladies, CC Club, Beech Grove Church of Christ, First Assembly of God Church ladies, Holly Grove Baptist Church, Bingo ladies, and Mrs. Carolyn Hendrix.

Thank you to Mrs. Dora Mann for the fresh bananas she donated on Saturday for our fruit bingo.

Thought for the week: No act of kindness, no matter how small is ever wasted.

“The Lost Ark” was the subject of the message. The Ark represented the presences of God to the Israelites. They lost it in battle and were defeated by their enemies. They had drifted so far from God and had the mistaken idea that by carrying the Ark into battle they could force God to be with them. When God lifts up a standard for us to live by, we better not take it casually. Our country, it seems, is determined to destroy traditional marriage that was ordained by God, and killing unborn babies has become no more than removing a tooth for many. America is setting them up to face the judgment of God. So what can we do? God tells us, “If my people will humble themselves, pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will heal their land.” If we repent, God will relent. To have God on our side, we better be on His.

The church welcomed Shelia Snider to the services. She sang the special music.

Happy Birthday to James Lewis and Kelsey McCain. We express our heartfelt sympathy to Betty Henderson and all her family in the death of her brother Franklin Climer.

Our prayer lists for the

sick are Melvin Holcomb, Billie Lynn Haynes, Carolyn Covington (in a Jackson hospital), Joann Smith, Phil Emison, Patsy Robinson and Dorothy Marbury. We were happy to have Jan Wynn able to be at church, but continue to remember Jan and her family. Others are Betty Barden, Perry Watridge, Fletcher Lewis, Gaylon Turnage, Melanie Jones, Bobby Joe Brown, Leland Simpson and Bobby Perry. Also include Judy Hart, Louise Coleman, Sharon Davis, Butch Wilson and Sandra Posey.

Little four-year-old Hayden Hopkins, daughter of Heath and Julie Hopkins, took part in the bike-a-thon for St. Jude held in Hernando last week. She is the granddaughter of Alan and Debbie Jones and great, granddaughter of Lois Davis and Pop and Nannie Jones.

Missions Night was

held last Wednesday at the church. The W M U and Brotherhood groups were well attended. I didn’t get a report from the other groups.

Graduating high school seniors will be recognized Sunday morning during worship services. Those from Holly Grove are Hayden Baynes, Brad and Taylor Booth, Dakota and Zach Burns, J. T. Campbell, Jessica Leach, Kaleigh McCaslin, Sierra McClinton, Jeffery McIntyre and Victoria Young. They will be carried out to lunch following church services and be accompanied by Brother Fred and Nancy Campbell and Brother Ralph and Elaine Brown. Families and Friends are invited also, but dutch treat for them. Congratulations to all the graduates.

It will soon be time to be thinking about doing some gardening, but the ground has got to dry out some.

Happy belated 80th birthday to Pearline Jones! Her children hosted a huge birthday bash for her at Carver school with family and friends from far and near in attendance. The menu was deliciously catered by Carolyn Chism-Reed. My son Pelvise celebrated his 50th birthday this past Tuesday and came home and I cooked him a good old country dinner and his sister Marketta cooked a delicious homemade strawberry cake with a strawberry-cream cheese icing. My great-nephew Elijah “E.J.” Epperson from Humboldt has been playing football at Mississippi State and has been drafted to the Kansas City Chiefs! We are all so proud of him. His mother is Carolyn Faye Gaines and the grandson of the late Dorothy Gaines and my brother, the late M.D. Gaines. My brother-in-law R.C. Ross was home on last weekend for the funeral service of their aunt Augusta Shipp-Ross, who

had a beautiful home going service at Mt. Olive church. My son Lambert, wife Susan and all of my grandchildren were here as will to visit his uncle. Marketta and I also attended the funeral of my neighbor on last week, Annie Ruth Newble. Pastor Leonard Byrum eulogized the service beautifully. I was so glad to see Mr. and Mrs. Reginald Flagg at the funeral. I share him with his mom, Carolyn Jean Flagg, as one of my sons.

Continue to check on our elderly and be an inspiration towards our younger generation.Sick and shut in: Wilson, Mildred Walker, James Sullivan, Annie Pearl Franklin, Birda Mae “Stewball” Hines, Evelyn Jean Forrest Shaw, Laura “Peaches” Snipes, Peggy Currie, Ewell Callaway, Eva Kinnie, Mable Phillips, Hank Currie, Willie D. Chapman, Mary Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. Joe T. Perry, Georgia Hines, A.C. Pirtle, Cynthia Bullock, Butch Wilson, Fletcher Lewis, Victoria Dickerson, John Duckworth Sr., L.C. and

Elma Pirtle, Luvenia Boyd, Edward Vaulx Jr., and Annie Flora Forrest.

Thought For The Week: “Make Life Good” For life to ever be good, you must choose to see it and live it as good right now. To get the job done, you must do the work now. You can hope for the best, and though your hope points you in a positive direction it cannot get you there on its own. What will get you there is to use this moment, right now, in a positive and effective way. Here is your place and now is your time to act. The possibilities you seek are yours to fulfi ll, now. Rather than wishing for things to be different, work to make things better. Now is when you can, and now is when you must, if it ever is to be. You have the power and the resources to make life good now. Because you have you, and you have now, and you can live it all with positive purpose. Choose to live the goodness that is always your best possibility. Choose to make life good, now.

go out to the family of Lily Peak. She was called home on Wednesday of last week. Lily has many friends that live here and all are missing her. Her mind was fi lled with so much history. She loved to tell stories of when she was growing up. We will miss her but know that she is in a much better place than we are.

Elizabeth Claiborne had a wonderful visit with her son Alex this week. She was excited he was coming. It is wonderful for our residents when their family that lives away from here come back and stays a few days with them. It just lifts their spirits.

Dorothy Morris and Gwen enjoy their Tuesday afternoons out together each week. They go, eat and just have some fun girl time. Dorothy always comes home with a big smile on her face.

Dorothy was our Super Star of the month last month. Congratulations on being chose as a Super Star.

Eleanor Rooks had a visit from one of her daughters this week. They went out for lunch and had some fun. Eleanor loves spending time with her children. Speaking of Eleanor Rooks, she is our Super Star for the month. Congratulations Eleanor.

Jessie, Jennifer and Rose took a group of residents to the park on Tuesday for a picnic lunch. They had fried chicken and all the fi xings. It was such a beautiful day to be at the park. The weather couldn’t have been any better.

Zuline Blackburn enjoyed lunch with her son on Tuesday. They go out to eat about once or twice a week. She looks forward to her son or daughter coming each week.

We are gearing up to get fi t for Relay for Life. Sugar Creek wasn’t able to put a team together this year, but we are still raising money. Our staff has decided to get fi t to fi ght cancer. We will be attempting to lose some weight between now and Relay time. We will keep you posted each week on our weight goal progress. May 1 is our starting date thru May 29.

It is Cinco de Mayo time. Our residents are getting excited about a real live Mariachi Band coming to play at Sugar Creek. This is a fi rst for us, but hopefully it won’t be the last.

Well the weather is getting warmer, so that means our rocking chairs out front are fi xing to get a good workout. Come on by and rock a while with us. We will even share some of our delicious sweet tea with you. Have a great week everyone.

What a great week-end at Allen! Our Lay Renewal journey about our spiritual “gifts” was nothing less than amazing. What a blessing we all received - hearts and lives truly forever changed by those 48 hours. We had great fellowship (lots of eating), biblical truth teaching beyond compare, and a true spiritual awakening in our hearts. And the greatest blessing of all was fi nding out what our spiritual “gifts” are - and how we can use those “gifts” for the glory of God.

We have very special Allen “Angels” this week. None of you would know them unless you were at the Lay Renewal week-end, but I just couldn’t write about the amazing time we had without mentioning them and thanking them so much. These folks came as our “Lay Renewal Teams” from Tennessee, Mississippi and Missouri - they give up their week-ends without any compensation except knowing that they’re serving God through their spiritual “gifts”. So very special thanks and our love to Dr. Phil Young, Dorothy and Don Hanle,

Shirley and Jimmy Berry, Vivian and Bill Buford, Gary and Delores Hill, Jeremy Maser, Nathan Bell, Doug and Pat Williams, and Marsha and Tom Pearson (or as Bro. Phil calls them - the “Out-House Team”).

And also very special thanks to our “In-House Team” headed up by Stan and Mary Ann Flowers. And to so many others too numerous to mention who worked on committees and behind the scenes to bring this week-end together.

We’re honoring our graduating Seniors next Sunday morning (May 5) and having a luncheon for them and their families following the morning service. Congratulations to Taylor Killen, Katie Dedmon, Aliceson Hobock, Katie Lewis and Maggie Herron.

The Tennessee Southern Baptist Disaster Relief Chain Saw Unit is having a benefi t “stew” on Saturday (May 4) at the Parks & Recreation Building on Boyd (the old National Guard Armory) from 11:00 - 2:00. This benefi t is to raise money for the disaster relief team to travel to areas

and help folks in clean-up efforts following natural disasters. Stew is $20.00-gallon, $6.00-quart, or $7.00 for a meal - there’ll also be a bake sale. Contact Jerry or Carolyn White at 780-6238/780-0058 for more information. Please come out and support this important ministry - we never know when a storm or fl ood will leave us in need of help from this dedicated group of men and women.

Happy Birthday wishes to Drake Hooper - and Happy Anniversary to Jeff and Debra Jackson.

Please remember to pray for Jerry Morris, Eddie Ruth Ricks, June Stockhoff, Martha Rodgers, Debbie Rodgers, Steve Vanetter, Nita Waldon, Zander Young, Vickie Hooper, and many others not on this prayer list, but who you know are in need of prayer. No prayer is ever unheard or unanswered by God.

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

And fi nally, here’s a new little prayer we could all say: Lord, forgive us our “trash passes” as we forgive those who “pass trash” against us.

During the celebration of Men’s Month at Dancyville C.M.E. Church a great time was had with the recent service of Thanksgiving and Praise to the Lord by Minister Jeff Kelly and family. The beautiful songs sang and the word from Min. Kelly inspired by all in attendance; afterwards a fellowship dinner was served and enjoyed. Pastor Lewis and the Men and other members thanked them for coming.

During last week we were very happy to have volunteers from this community serving along with other as proctors to help with TCAP test. It was a great experience for retired teachers and administrative people sharing. We hope that the students put forth their best efforts; it was a good time to meet with friends

and acquaintances you hadn’t seen in a while. On Sunday Pastor A. Timothy Leverette celebrated his birthday with members of Douglas Chapel with cake and take-home dinner for his family to enjoy.

I enjoyed an afternoon and over-night visit from daughter Dr. Cynthia B. Hopson, who attended our fourth Sunday evening choir union at Bartlett Chapel C.M.E. Church in Whiteville and visited with relatives. She was due to speak Monday, April 29 at the Hardeman County Correctional Facility with a group of faculty members.

Celebrating birthdays this week: Zelma Jameson April 30, celebrating May 4 James Peeples and Gussie White Mask.

Remembering our sick and shut-ins: Callie Brooks, Callie Langford, Luevenia Boyd, Jimmie L. Turner,

Lewis, Bland Delk, Emma Miller, Mary N. Greer, Joe T. and Augustine Perry, John Jones, Betty Brooks, Mr. and Mrs. T. G. Greer.

The Senior’s Banquet honoring senior’s 80 yrs and above was enjoyed by all in attendance, several of them were present happy and enjoyed seeing each other, since last year’s celebration.

Ms. Helen O. Pirtle attended the beautiful celebration of marriage of her grandson George Hester Jr. Saturday, April 27 at Cara Hills II in Gallaway with family and friends, with a reception in their beautiful facility.

Now that the cold fronts have passed, speaking of “Blackberry and Locust Winter”, it’s time to start gardening. The gardening questions are fl owing in while the nurseries are besieged with customers ready to pursue their quest to produce the best vegetables, grow a lawn that could rival Augusta National, and have a landscape that the Dixon Gallery would come to tour. In our efforts to get you to these lofty goals,

our offi ce will present a spring workshop series comprised of the following sessions: Monday, May 13, 2013 “Producing High Quality Fruits and Vegetables” 10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. (morning session) and 6:00-8:00 p.m. (evening session); Monday, May 20, 2013 “Improving My Landscape” 10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. (morning session) and 6:00-8:00 p.m. (evening session); Thursday, May 30, 2013 “Building a Top Notch Lawn” 10:00 a.m.-12:00

p.m. (morning session) and 6:00-8:00 p.m. (evening session)

This series is free to the public. As shown there will be a morning and evening session to accommodate working folk. These sessions will be taught from a general approach in regard to fertilization issues, disease and insect management, weed control, and other issues pertinent to gardening and landscaping. Call 772-2861 for further information.

This week our Chamber Corner spotlight is on Brownsville States-Graphic. The Brownsville States-Graphic was born at the turn of the century as a result of a merger of two competing newspapers, the States-Democrat and the Graphic.The fi rst recorded newspaper in Brownsville was the Phoenix, established in 1837. In 1840, David McPherson began publishing the Banner, and in 1868 W.I. Westbrook established the Bee. To compete with the Bee, R.W. Haywood started a newspaper called the States in 1870.The Democrat was fi rst published in 1875 by Thomas Weedlin and John R. Green.In 1886, the States and the Democrat consolidated to become

the States-Democrat.Several newspapers were published briefl y in the 1880s and ‘90s: The Haywood Republican, The Journal and The Tribune. During this period Danial Bond, a native of South Carolina, began publishing a paper called the Brownsville Times. In 1900 when the States-Democrat and the Graphic merged, John R. Green was editor. The Greens merged, John R. Green was editor. The Greens (there were several in the newspaper business) operated the States-Graphic for several years before selling it to F.R. Ogilvie, longtime private and public school educator in 1900s.Mrs. Ogilvie retained ownership after Mr. Ogilvie’s death with Paul Sims serving as editor. The paper was sold to Haywood County native John H. Owen, of Bronxville, New York, in December 1948. Sims continued as editor and served in this capacity until his death in 1962. John Owen Burgess succeeded him.In January 1983, Lyle Reid and Carlton Veirs purchased a free shopper known as the Advertiser, named it the Haywood County Free Press and began publishing

it with news content. Frank Cupples was editor of the Free Press.Mrs. John H. Owen retained ownership of the States-Graphic until 1984, when she sold the newspaper to Reid and Veirs. With Cupples as the editor, the paper became the Brownsville States-Graphic. In June 1985, C.T. Smith succeeded Cupples as the newspaper’s editor.The newspaper was sold to Albrecht Newspapers, Inc. of Cookeville in 2000.The Albrecht group managed the newspaper until 2006 when they sold it to its present owner, American Hometown Publishing, Inc. of Franklin.American Hometown Publishing, a Franklin based holding company started in 2003, acquired States-Graphic on October 5, 2006.Current staff at the Brownsville States-Graphic includes General Manager - Vicky Fawcett, Offi ce Manager - Lorie Waddell and Staff Writer - Jennifer Willis.

When the States-Graphic began publishing 173 years ago, it dedicated itself to the welfare of the people of Haywood County. That stands true today.

Working together creates success!

Water you outdoor plants in the early morning, before the sun can burn off mois-ture, and take care not to over-water. Before starting your sprinkler, step on the grass. If the blades spring back, hold off on watering for a day or two. The average lawn needs only one hour of watering a week. Also, raise your mower blade to the 3-inch setting. Shaggy grass holds moisture longer, requiring less watering.

Brownsville Baptist Child Development Center celebrates Earth Day

Photos by Jennifer Willis

Walter Battle from the UT Extension Offi ce stopped by Brownsville Baptist Church’s Child Development Center Thursday, April 18 with bags of potting soil and fl owers for the kids. Each child planted a fl ower in celebration of Earth Day, and will take the fl owers to their mothers or grandmothers as a Mother’s Day present. (Mommies and Grandmommies should ignore that part!) The children all had lots of fun learning how to plant and water fl owers, and a few had just as much fun getting their hands dirty!

The Dunbar Carver Museum, located at 709 East Jefferson Street is proud to present the amazing traveling exhibition, Women of a New Tribe. The exhibition will debut in Brownsville on Sunday April 21, during an Opening Reception from 3:00 – 5:00 at the Museum. Come, see and marvel at the beautifully framed black and white photographs of women from all over the USA and featuring 24 women from Haywood County. The theme of the exhibition, The Autumn of Grace, emphasizes the spiritual and physical beauty of Haywood County women who are 75+ years young! For more information, please visit the Museum website: www.d u n b a rc a r v e r m u s u e m .org or the photographer’s website: www.blackartphotoart.com or call the museum 731-277-9352.
