Tina Turner shows interestBy: CALVIN [email protected]

Haywood County has always managed to pride itself in being the home of music legend Tina Turner. And as of Tuesday night, during the Brownsville City Board Of Mayor And Aldermen meeting that tradition just became stronger.

West Tennessee Delta Heritage Center Director Sonia Outlaw-Clark requested that the city help with the center’s efforts to preserve Flagg Grove School, one of a few remaining African-American schoolhouses in the county.

The building was also the grammar school of Tina Turner.

In fact, the one room schoolhouse has been linked to Turner’s family for quite some time.

The land the school was built on was bought from Benjamin Flagg in 1889. Flagg was a former slave

who came from North Carolina after the Civil War. He was also the brother of George Flagg, Turner’s great-grandfather. The school closed in the 1960s and has since been used as a barn.

Now, thanks to the city’s agreement to fund no more than $20,000 to help move the building, the schoolhouse will fi nd a new home at the West Tennessee Delta Heritage Center.

“Ideally, we would love to preserve Flagg Grove School on its original acre of ground,” Delta Heritage Center Director Sonia Outlaw-Clark said. “But since this is not possible, it just makes sense to move it where it can be restored and seen by the most people.”

Clark noted to the board that after its move, the building will appear largely unchanged, with the exception of some work

to the back of the building. Besides that repair, the building is structurally sound. There are also a few artifacts within it, including some school desks and a chalkboard.

The city will pull funding from the budget, but noted that this shouldn’t “hurt the city fi nancially.”

With so much history with the building, news of its preservation has shown great potential in not only

City agrees to help with historic school

By: CALVIN [email protected]

It was a lively agenda for the monthly Brownsville City Board Of Mayor And Aldermen meeting Tuesday, April 10.

Shortly after an approval of last month’s minutes, Brownsvi l le -Haywood County Central Dispatch Director Kyle East made a special presentation to the board in celebration of National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week. Shortly after introducing some of his staff, East presented a special plaque to Senior Dispatcher Siwaver “Dell” Leigh.

Leigh, described as

“the spoke in the wheel of central dispatch,” has worked there for 35 years.

The Executive Director for Tennessee Emergency Communications Board, Lynn Questell also made a presentation to the board, commenting on Haywood County’s job in the central dispatch fi eld. She also noted that Tennessee is one of the top states when it comes to central dispatch.

“We truly are the envy of every other state,” Questell said. Questell also awarded Dell Leigh with the Telecommunicator Of The Quarter award.

The board later brought up the subject of curbside pickup, which has been a

hot button issue in the city for quite some time.

While there was initially an ordinance presented to amend the city’s rules on curbside pickup and the removal of debris in the city limits, the board decided to remove it from the agenda.

The ordinance would have attempted to address several issues with curbside pickup, including the requirement of commercial businesses like contractors, remodeling agencies, lawn mowing, landscaping and tree services removing and hauling any debris items at their own expense.

But with the ordinance presented, the board felt that there needs to be more

efforts to study and discuss before coming to a fi nal decision.

“This thing needs to have some teeth to it,” Alderman Simmons said.

The board will have a study session on the proposed ordinance.

In other news, the board voted and passed the fi rst reading of Ordinance #891, which would rezone some property owned by First Methodist Church from Medium Density Residential to Central Business. The property is located at 114 Church Street and is trying to be rezoned in the hopes of matching up with the rest of the church’s property.

Burglary suspect hit with indictmentsBy: CALVIN [email protected]

A burglary/robbery suspect has been indicted on multiple charges, following his arrest earlier this year.

Authorities said that initially on February 3, 2012, at 1129 West Boyle, Codarious Baltimore, 18, James Dejuan Hughes, 20, and Skyler Smith, 18, broke in and forced a victim down with a handgun. The victim managed to run out of the house while the three suspects ran away through the back door of the house. Police arrested and charged the three with aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary.

The charges remain roughly the same, although Baltimore has been indicted on multiple charges.

Smith was charged with attempted aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary and violation of probation. His bond is set at $100,000. Hughes who has the same bond was hit with aggravated robber, aggravated burglary and violation of probation.

Baltimore received three counts of attempted aggravated robbery, three counts of aggravated burglary, violation of probation with a bond set at $100,000.

Construction takes out court square weekendsBy: CALVIN [email protected]

While the bulk of the construction work on the court square area of the city has already taken place, there are some repairs that need to be completed for the city to sign off on the construction.

“Repairs are needed and we are not accepting the project until it meets the standard we all want,” Brownsville Mayor Jo Matherne said during Tuesday night’s city hall meeting.

The city recently announced that while trying to make some necessary repairs to the pedestrian walkway project around Court Square, the city and TDOT will close all access to the square over a period of two weekends this month.

The dates are” Friday, April 13 6 p.m. until Monday, April 16 at 7 a.m. and Friday, April 20 6 p.m. until Monday, April 23 at 7 a.m.

The streets around the court square area will be fully open and operational during the weekdays.

And though repairs will take place primarily during those weekends, this does not mean that court square businesses will be closed. They will still operate.

During the proposed weekends, traffi c will be detoured from Main Street to College Street through Jackson and Wilson avenues. Brownsville Police will be directing traffi c to ensure that the usual fl ow of church traffi c on Sunday will still progress smoothly.

If you have any questions concerning the project, you can call Brownsville City Hall at 731-772-1212.

By April G. JacksonWas originally featured in and is curtousy of the Humboldt Chronicle.

Some ties do more than bind. Some ties celebrate unions, families and loved ones..

When Karen Vann was handed a roughed-out quilt top made from one man’s ties through the years, she wasn’t quite sure where to start.

The ties belong to minister Frank Webb. His wife, Nancy, had given the ties to her sister, the late Nell Pulley of Clarksville, several years ago. Nell

had fashioned a quilt top from them but had never completed it.

Vann took the quilt top and sewed and embroidered each tie into a heart shape inside each square, using the Webb family names, their ministry and Webb’s songs as inspiration. With the help of her mother, Faye Pruett, she found a backing and the perfect trim to set off the squares.

“The faith quilt is what I call it,” says Vann. It was her fi rst quilt and really, she says, technically, “It’s a cheater quilt.” When she fi nished the quilt, she

found she had enough material and ties left over to fashion 10 matching pillows, enough for each of the Webbs’ nine children to have one and one to stay with the quilt that Nancy Webb displays at her home.

The Webbs minister at the Gospel Tabernacle between Humboldt and Gibson. Looking over the quilt last week, Nancy remembers most of the ties but Frank doesn’t, he says. They began the church in the 70s and added on to it about 13 years ago. The church membership celebrated a note-burning last year.

Cowart Reese Sargent CPA P.C gave an audit report on the city.

In short, anything that may have stuck out in the audit was generally minor.

A few noteworthy items from the general fund budget were that property taxes collected were $954

thousand more than the budgeted amount. I n t e r g o v e r n m e n t a l revenues were also $1.43 million less than the budgeted amount. Expenditures were also under budget by $1.81 million in the current year.

And fi nally, the board approved of a

road block grant that includes all of the south court square area and south Lafayette from Main Street to Jefferson Street for the second annual Cinco de Mayo Heritage Celebration. The event will take place on Saturday May 5, and will include live music, games and food booths.

PICKUP continued

promoting the heritage of West Tennessee, but also increasing Tourism in the region.

“The school will become an integral part in telling our story,” says Clark, “especially where education and music are concerned in Haywood County.”

Its preservation has even sparked interest from the legendary performer who once learned there.

“ I’m pleased to know that children from around the world, who stop at the Visitor’s Center in Brownsville, will be able to visualize what it was

like growing up during the era of my childhood,” Tina Turner said.

Local restaurateurs Pam and Joe Stephens, who have initially owned it for quite some time, donated the building. It has been in the Stephen’s family since the late 60s.

“Pam and I wanted to save the building,” Stephens said. “It’s an important piece of Haywood County history.”

While the city will fund the moving portion of the school, the non-profi t group, Friends Of The Delta Heritage Center, will fund restoration

efforts. They are planning this through fundraising efforts.

A date for the building’s move is still being discussed, although the center is aiming for as soon as possible. In the meantime, if you would like to make a donation to Friends Of The Delta Heritage Center to help with the building’s restoration you can contact the Center at 731-779-9000, or donations can be made payable to the Friends of the Center, 121 Sunny Hill Cove, Brownsville, TN 38012.

Off the Beaten Path

Mascot MakeoversI read an article the

other day that said that one of the hottest trends going on right now is plastic surgery for men, and I guess it must be true. Even the Quaker Oats Man is getting a makeover. That’s right, the venerable old gentleman whose face graces those round boxes of Quaker Oats is getting a facelift. It seems PepsiCo Inc., the owner of the product line, wants to “invigorate the brand” to make it more “fresh and innovative.”

To that end they have given “Larry” (inexplicably, that’s what they’ve named him) a facelift and a haircut. The old Quaker Oats Man, say company offi cials, is associated by the public with heritage, trust and quality. They are hoping his new look will add energy and healthy qualities to his aura.

Thus, they have magically made him younger by about fi ve years, a few pounds slimmer and added muscle tone to his shoulders. They have also gotten rid of his slight double chin and taken some of the chubbiness out of his cheeks.

And they’ve airbrushed a few wrinkles out of his face as well. Altogether, the changes amount to the equivalent of chin liposuction, a facelift and a healthy application of Botox. The company’s hope is that the changes, admittedly minor, will make him look stronger and more vibrant to the public, but not too much more. Their goal is to do this so subtly that people won’t consciously notice the changes.

And most won’t. Even side by side, you have to look closely at the old and new images to see the differences, and either way, he looks pretty darned good for a 135-year-old man.

That’s how long ago it was that the mill that fi rst made Quaker Oats applied for, and was granted, the nation’s fi rst ever breakfast cereal trademark. It was for “a man in Quaker garb.”

At fi rst they were sold loose, out of a barrel, but in 1885 they began selling them in rectangular boxes. They also began giving away free dinnerware with purchases, and by 1908 they were putting cookie recipes on the backs of the boxes. In 1915, they changed the box shape to the iconic round container that can still be found on grocery shelves today.

The Quaker Man, as we know him, fi rst appeared on boxes in 1946, as a line drawing. Then, 12 years later, the drawing was replaced by a full color portrait, and he’s not, says the company, supposed to look like William Penn or Benjamin Franklin.

In 1972, the portrait was redone, but essentially unchanged. We’ll have to wait and

see whether women, who still buy most of the groceries in America, will fi nd him more attractive or not.

And he’s not the only food mascot undergoing image renovation. Col. Harlan Sanders, the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken, or KFC, as the company is now known, has really gone through changes. Whereas, he was once a real person, he has now become a cartoon character in the company’s advertisements, and has been modifi ed to give him more hair and fi ner wrinkles. And not only that, instead of wearing what was his trademark white suit in real life, the cartoon Colonel now wears a red food server’s apron. And because of the current war against anything fried, you’ll never again hear him say the words, “fi nger lickin’ good.”

Can the company get away with remaking an actual person like that? Sure they can. Five out of 10 young adults think he’s a made up character anyway.

Health concerns have caused more than one food mascot to change his or her image. Charlie the Tuna, for example, has given up smoking cigars in ads and commercials, and he is now searching not only for good taste, but good health as well.

And Cookie Monster? Because indiscriminate cookie eating can be a health hazard, Cookie Monster now warns children that cookies are a “sometimes food.”

Yeah, that ought to take care of childhood obesity.

Political correctness also drives mascot redos. Remember what happened to Betty Crocker about 15 years ago? Her original image, created in the 1920’s as a blend of Northern European characteristics, was modifi ed, in 1996, to a computer-generated blend of 75 different nationalities from all over the world. Thus, it’s now impossible to say what her heritage is.

Uncle Ben, of Uncle Ben’s Converted Rice, no longer wears a Pullman Porter’s attire. In 2007, advertisers for the company dropped

the “Uncle” from his name and promoted him to Chairman of the Board. He now shares “Ben’s grains of wisdom” with his followers on Facebook.

Aunt Jemima traded in her trademark headscarf for a string of pearls and a lace collar in 1994. She also dropped about a hundred pounds, which made her look decades younger, and went from being the family cook to having a career.

Not all makeovers work as well as the companies involved expect them to. When Mattel recently tried to change Dora the Explorer from a tot to a ‘tween there was an unexpected outcry from angry parents.

In 2007, the Sun-Maid Growers of California got the bright idea to “update” the fi gure of Lorraine, the Sun-Maid Raison Girl, who has graced their boxes since 1915. They left her bonnet on, but they put her in a skin hugging blouse and drew a curvy fi gure on her, hoping that this new “modern” girl would sell more raisons. Instead, they encountered a storm of criticism, one critic charging that they had turned her into “a Barbie in Amish clothing.”

So what’s a food company to do? We like what we like when it comes to eating food, but when buying it, we often make purchasing decisions because of packaging, rather than products inside them, and when in packaging, little things can mean a lot.

I was walking down the cereal aisle at the grocery store the other day and spied a box of Frosted Flakes (formerly Sugar Frosted Flakes) and there, on the box, was Tony the Tiger, Kellogg’s most popular food mascot ever. He’s been on their boxes since 1952, but back then (and I remember; I was there.) he had a body shaped like a skinny football. Today, however, he’s tall and muscled up like a football player. How’d they do that?

Must be on steroids. Nobody can get that buff from eating Frosted Flakes.

When Ron Artest decided to change his name to Metta World Peace, it came off a little strange.

Maybe its even ironic considering the infamous Pistons/Pacers brawl years ago, but honestly, besides bringing a bit more notoriety to the current Lakers player, its left Artest unchanged.

Artest’s name change makes me think of the recent name change of the megasite, now known as the Memphis Regional Megasite.

In a way, I can understand the reasoning behind it. When the world thinks of West Tennessee—those rare occasion where Middle and even East are out of

the spotlight—people think of Memphis.

This is the home of the blues. It’s the home of Elvis and Graceland. It’s a home to FedEx.

So by placing the city’s name on the project, it could catch the eye of potential industry interests. It just feels a little weird to name it with Memphis.

West Tennessee seemed perfect since the name suggested that all of this region is invested in the site. And ever since the project kept growing, I’ve personally known it as the Haywood County Megasite.

And the reason, I attach Haywood County to the megasite perhaps more than any other region is

because I’ve seen much of the fi ght for the megasite to become a reality come more from Haywood County.

This takes me back a few years ago, during that infamous trip to Nashville where many local leaders took to talking to legislation about what good the megasite could bring to the county and region.

And let’s not forget the fact that the land is in Haywood County.

Still, I’ve got to remember my own words here.

This isn’t just a Haywood County item. Yes it is vital. But this is a project that good or bad, affect all of West Tennessee.

Christians the world over just completed the observance of Holy Week, which began on Palm Sunday and ended on Saturday before Easter Sunday. The week is one of the high points of celebrations conducted during the year of the Christian Calendar. Special celebrations take place during the week, including Holy Wednesday, Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday leading up to Easter Day.

As a youngster, most rural churches around our area didn’t usually have special services throughout Holy Week. Good Friday services were the exception. The big day for us was Easter Sunday, also known as Easter Day. The celebration of Easter Sunday usually began with a Sunrise Service. These services started early in the morning and timed to take place, so that the folks attending could see the sunrise while the service was in progress. Regularly scheduled services usually followed the sunrise services. Today, many of these services are called Early Services and are usually held indoors at the church. Easter didn’t seem so hectic during those days. In fact, they

were great times. This was one occasion during the year when the girls could dress in their fi nest and look their prettiest and the boys could dress up in their best attire and show off that new pair of Easter shoes.

In my early years, I must confess that too much of the Easter celebration seemed to be more social than spiritual. Thank God those thoughts have made a turn-a-round. We have become so busy these days with unrealistic schedules that too often robs the meaning and purpose of our agendas. Our calendars are so fi lled that we cannot enjoy life’s fi ner things. Perhaps we do need to occasionally stop along the way and smell the roses.

This past week, my calendar was fi lled with more Holy Week activities than I ever recall. It included the daily business of the church, appointments, emergencies and deaths that came as a shock. And that didn’t include Easter Day. As I looked at my daily calendar, it almost grossed me out. I was so overwhelmed by the schedule that I could have easily missed the joy of the season. However, I was determined not to destroy

the peace, happiness and joy that came with the Easter season. Thanks to the good Lord, I made the week on schedule and was most richly blessed as a result.

Easter Sunday 2012, began for me at 4:45 a.m. No alarm clock was needed and I woke up in a very feel good mood. It was such a blessing to feel so good so early in the morning in spite of some challenges. My Easter Sunday journey began at about 5:30 a.m. riding down the highway headed toward Whiteville for the early morning service scheduled at 7 a.m. It hasn’t been so long ago that my stress level on this day would have hit the ceiling, but not this day. It was a beautiful early morning with a full moon. I capped the beauty of that early morning with a cup of coffee from McDonalds that really hit the spot. It was time to hit the road again and continue my journey. Why the experience of such an uplifting mood? It was an uplifting moment in the history of our faith when Christ became victorious over death. It’s uplifting because of the proclamation of the Eastern season. He lives and so shall we.

In Luke 7:36-50, Jesus gives us a lesson in love and forgiveness. Jesus is at a Pharisee’s dinner party. A woman notorious for being a sinner burst into the event and began anointing his feet with expensive ointment, as she wept on his feet and dried them with her hair.

Jesus told the shocked Pharisee a parable to explain that it is those who under-stand from what they have been forgiven, love Jesus.

What we may not realize is that it was common courtesy back then to have the feat of a guest washed and his head anointed with oil. The Pharisee invited Jesus to a dinner and did none of these things. So, while the woman’s actions were extravagant, for the Pharisee to have done these things would have been the norm for the society.

Like many today, the Pharisee didn’t see his need for forgiveness and therefore did not appreciate what Jesus had come to do.

Bethel - Belle Eagle NewsWe are all looking for

ways to save money, so this is why I am telling everyone about my homemade laundry detergent. All it takes is one bar Fels Naptha soap, one-cup washing soda and one-cup borax. You can fi nd all this at Wal-Mart and this makes fi ve gallons. Directions will be on your computer, so look up homemade laundry detergent and save some money! Now if I could fi gure out how to make gas.

Carol Kendrick, daughter of Kenny and Dede Kendrick, celebrated her birthday last Saturday with a party at her home. Friends and family helped to make this a special

day. Gaylon Herron was surprised with a birthday party last Saturday night at the home of Jay Kendrick. Gaylon’s birthday is April 15. Everyone enjoyed food off the grill and of course, cake and ice cream.

Kenneth and Bettye Sargent hosted Easter Sunday at their home last Sunday. Those attending were Jim and Rhonda Parks, Linda and Doyle Ellington, Kathy Fuller and her son, Heath Pigue, Kenny Ellington and his family and Keith Warren. Bill and Jane Kendrick also had their family for Easter. Ricky and Betty Scott spent the day with Betty’s

granddaughter, Hollie Harwell, at her home on Cox Lane.

The bring-a-dish meal was enjoyed by over 50 people. Shaun and Amanda Pruitt and Trey Scott spent the weekend with Ricky and Betty Scott and they ate at Ho Ho’s in Bells last Friday night. Louquita Climer was able to attend services at Bethel Community Church last Sunday and everyone was so glad to see her improving. Also, we were glad to have Debbie Greenway’s mother, Barbara Mason, visit us.Thought for the week: Life is like a ladder. Every step we take is either up or down.

Hillville - Eurekaton NewsWords cannot express

the gratitude for the acts of kindness shown to our family during the recent loss of my mother-in-law, Martha Lee Coburn Williams. A service celebrating her life was held on Thursday, April 5 at Lea & Simmons Funeral Home and she was laid to rest at Memorial Gardens.

There will be a benefi t on Saturday, April 14 at the WOW Building “In Memory of Bill White for his family. Stew will be sold by the gallon, quart or by the bowl and there will also be a bake sale. For more information or to make a donation, please contact Nicole Taylor at 780-1167 or Tara Johnson at 697-9687. Please come out and support this event for this family.

I heard there were great turnouts for both the Hillville Community and the Mt. Pleasant UMC Egg Hunts on Saturday, April 7.

Mt. Pleasant UMC has Bible study every Tuesday night at 6:30 p.m. Everyone is invited to come and join in on this study.

Katie Lomax, Travis,

Krystle and I enjoyed visiting with former classmate Lisa Warren in the home of Eddie and Imogene Warren on Friday.

My niece, Emily Watson, was here for a visit over the Easter holiday. We truly enjoyed getting to spend some time with her.

On Friday, Travis, Krystle and I along with my mother, Olivia Watson, Doug Jones and my nieces Emily Watson and Hayley Roten enjoyed dinner at J’s diner. Then on Saturday, Krystle, my mother Olivia, Emily, Hayley, Mechelle and Kyleigh Mullen enjoyed the egg hunt at Mt. Pleasant UMC.

Sympathy to the family of Mr. Ulysses Grant in the loss of their loved one.

In closing, our Thought for the Week is by John Franklin of New Zealand as published in the Upper Room Devotional. “Because Christ is risen, the fi nal word is not death, but life.” Our family has truly learned over the last few months that death is ever near in all human affairs. In defi ance of death, we celebrate that Christ is bigger than our deaths. Our believing cuts through death’s threat and takes the hand of God. And in the hand of God, living or dying, we too will live… for Christ is risen!

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

Until next week.... God bless.

Stanton NewsWe hope you all had a

great Easter weekend! Today is the offi cial

ribbon cutting for the Solar Farm. Many dignitaries from around the state are expected and Stanton will be full of people. Since parking at the Solar Farm is an issue, everyone who registered to attend should park in Downtown Stanton and at various churches to be bussed to the location.

It’s Relay For Life time again and the annual “Stanton Walk For The Cure” has been scheduled for April 28 at 7 a.m. We’ve had great turnouts with this event so come on out and walk with us! We also have a raffl e going on for a basket of goodies at $1 per ticket. All benefi ts go toward the Stanton Relay For Life contribution.

Speaking of walking, we have a group who walks around town together about 5 p.m. each afternoon. Some make it some days; others do not, so you can come whenever you want. It might be a good idea though to call and check if

the walk is still on for the day before you meet us at the library. Sometimes school and meetings get in our way, not to mention the weather. The number at the library is 548-2564.

The West Tennessee Cemetery Research Team (a volunteer organization) requests that ANYONE who has relatives buried in Choatie Cemetery, please come together and help get it mowed and cleaned up – all of it, not just the front part. The team has been delayed by tall grass already and we cannot complete our work. This cemetery is going to be a very complicated one to map anyway, so we need it maintained for us to be able to mark all the graves. Please help us help you.

We have discovered that the earliest graves in Choatie Cemetery were buried true east - west, which causes them to appear slanted next to more recent burials. Sadly, these older graves do not have markers, so we are estimating that sometime

in the early 1900’s people started burying more in line with South Main Street (Hwy 179). When that happened, burials started overlapping these early graves. So as you can see, this is a very old, historic and complicated cemetery, one which needs to be recorded properly for the future.

Also, any obituaries or funeral programs you may have for Choatie burials are greatly appreciated. We have several resources from which we are compiling a list of burials. These programs are a great source for us.

Residents and former residents of Stanton, you may mail Stanton news to me at P.O. Box 181, Stanton, TN 38069, reach me at the Stanton Welcome Center/Library at 731-548-2564, or e-mail me at: [email protected]. Please put “Stanton News” in the subject line. Together we will look at the past, look toward the future and report current events.

Sugar CreekRetirement Center News

By DeDeWe had a ball with all the

kids that came Easter egg hunting with us last week. They all seemed to have so much fun. The Easter bunny even came and made an appearance much to our surprise. Lots of eggs were found and the kids were treated to cookies and kool-aid afterwards. I think the grown ups had just as much fun as the kids did.

Some of our residents enjoyed a picnic at the park. The weather was perfect. The food was wonderful. They loved watching all the little ones play and just being out in the sunshine was great. We most defi nitely will be planning more picnics at the park before the weather gets too hot.

There sure are some beautiful fl owers on our coffee table this week. The note said that they were

from Dean Pettigrew. I believe they were delivered after Church services on Sunday. Treasure Chest did them and they did a wonderful job. Thanks Mr. Dean for thinking of us. We also received some beautiful lilies in memory of Ms. Martha Jane Williams. Her daughter Phyllis ordered them for church and asked for them to be delivered to us on Monday. Thanks everyone for always thinking about Sugar Creek.

Easter Bingo was played this week by many of the residents. All kinds of Easter prizes were won. There was a good crowd playing and lots of good fellowship going on. Easter crafts were done all week also. More of our puzzles are being put together these days. We have some of our residents that just

love putting them together as a group.

Felice M. is at Crestview for a little while. Eleanor R. was in Jackson General for a few days. Elisabeth and David P. are still at Crestview for a while longer. We are hoping for Carolyn F. to be back in a few weeks. She was out visiting us last week with her daughter Linda.

Thank You Regional, CareAll and Amedisys Home Health Agencies for all the goodies brought to us for Easter. We loved all the treats. You are all so sweet to think about us.

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

The Concerned Citizens of Douglass Community is gearing up for another one of their monthly gatherings for their Annual Senior Banquet for people 80 years old and above in the community and surrounding areas.

Nadean Lee and committee are planning for this to be one of their greatest using as a theme “Ole Tyme Hymns.” More information will be coming. The date is April 21, so please make plans to attend this event.

We’re continuing our improvement and clean up process. Our monthly meeting was very productive with several projects planned last week.

Traveling recently to Columbus, OH. for their aunt’s funeral “Lois Boyd” formerly of this area who was 99 years of age and sister of Mattie E. Turner was “Emma Hunter,” Lee. E. Turner, Dorothy Lee and

son Cedric. We would like to express our sympathy to the family of Mrs. Boyd.

Mattie E. Turner celebrated her 87th birthday in March. Her husband, Jimmie Lee Turner, celebrated his 86th birthday April 4. Happy belated birthdays to the both of them. Pray for them many more celebrations.

Celebrating birthdays this week are Steve White and Darren Murphy, both on April 14.

We would also like to express our sympathy to the family of Mary Worles in the Dancyville community.

Many out-of-town family members visited in the community for the Easter weekend and visited with family at Douglass Chapel Sunday morning. Visiting during the services at Dancyville CME Church Sunday morning were Presiding Elder and Mrs. E.L. Perry who are members,

but serve the Northeast District. The children performed well with their presentations. Afterward, they enjoyed an Easter egg hunt.

Our prayer list this week includes: Callie Langford, Callie Brooks, Emma Miller, Raymond Dancy, Betty J. Brooks, Betty Douglas, Rev. Floyd Lewis, Pastor Shirley Richmond, Rev. J.V. Carney, Mary N. Greer, Jimmie L. Turner, Shirley Hunter, Willie Douglas, Jackson Rice, Edward Vaulx Jr., Luevenia Boyd, Gladys Bowles, Joe B. Lewis, Marie Browning, John Jones and Ora L. Mann.

We’re very happy to know that Ms. Nadean Lee is enjoying her last grandbaby Jackson Richard Lee, named after his grandparents. I’m sure she’s enjoying spoiling him along with husband Richard. We hope that she’ll soon add more to the list to spoil.

“The Empty Tomb and the Risen Savior” was the subject of the message. There are skeptics concerning the resurrection today. Are you going to believe the skeptics or over 500 witnesses who saw Jesus following the crucifi xion and resurrection? The disciples were like scared rabbits until their encounter with the risen Lord. He transformed their lives, and He will transform ours when we commit our lives to Him. God is real, the Bible is true and the coming judgment is also real. Jesus is risen indeed!

A dramatic portrayal of “The Champion” was presented by the drama team and others prior to the services. It depicted the confl ict between God and His Son with Satan and the demons. Satan thought he had won when Jesus was crucifi ed, but then came the resurrection. It brought tears to many eyes. The choir sang a song from the Easter Cantata, entitled, “Champion of Love” with Mike Coburn singing the solo part.

Happy birthday to Jewel Overton, Ryan Bolinger, Carolyn Watridge, Betty Henderson, Megan Duncan, Kathy McClinton,

Sharon Wynn and Jessica Leach. I will also be having another birthday. Happy anniversary to Alan and Debbie Jones.

Heath and Julie Hopkins, John and Hayden from Hernando, Miss. Lois Davis and Dewey, Martha and Lorie Jones enjoyed a meal with Alan and Debbie Jones, Mark and Jennifer following church services last Sunday. It was so nice outside, we watched the little one hunt for Easter eggs.

Congratulations to our good friends Harold and Jonnie Castleman from Llano, Tex. who were chosen as the “Citizens of the Year.” We feel they made a wonderful choice. Scott and Vickie Climer and family from Munford, gathered at the home of Scott’s mother, Jean Climer last Saturday night for a meal together and

Easter celebration.Those on the sick list

needing our prayers are Perry Watridge, who spent some time in a Jackson hospital last week, Bland Boyd is in a Memphis hospital taking treatments, Nancy Campbell was back at church, Ruth Taylor, Linda Hayes and Annalee Myers. Others to include are Olga Sellari, Mark Stephens, Viola Brown, Ashlyn Young, Fletcher Lewis, Louise Coleman and Teresa Owen. Also include Sharon Wynn, Gaylon Tournage, Ouida Holt and Charlie Roland.

Carolyn Watridge, Marjorie Williams and Jean Climer attended the movie, “October Baby” in Humboldt last week. It’s a movie about a young woman, who was a survivor of an abortion. They gave it a high mark.

By Denise Phillips

Wellwood/Zion NewsBy now, most of the

neighborhood has visited “Smarky Joe’s Grocery” at Union. Congratulations to the new proprietor Mark Killen of the former Ross’ Store. If you have not stopped by yet, his hours are six - six Monday through Saturday. Check it out!

Easter at Zion Baptist Church was magnifi cent. We started with about 200 folks gathered at the lake for an awesome sunrise! Following breakfast in the family life center and Bible study, the choir presented a fabulous cantata proclaiming, “He’s Alive”. Brother Mark McSwain delivered a powerful mini-sermon, which resulted in two new members, Debra Looney and Brian Latore.

After all of that, Jimmy and I joined Sammy and Liz Taylor, and Robert and Genie Earnest and their children for a delicious lunch prepared by Liz. It was a beautiful day for visiting with family.

We also enjoyed a great visit with Philip and Aleta Bradford Monday afternoon while picking up a trailer from our son Jason in Hillville. Catching up on the Harmony news kind of made me homesick. Renae and Lizzy Townsend came outside for a while too.

Thirteen Zion seniors enjoyed lunch at Royal Reeds in Jackson Tuesday. Alice Elrod (Mama) said everyone had a great time of fellowship.

While they were dining, our Pastor Mark McSwain was receiving his doctorate in Kentucky. He was truly excited Wednesday night as we continued our study of “The Lord’s Prayer” in Matthew 6. We should never underestimate the power of prayer.

Allen Outlaw reported 12 attended the community

prayer breakfast and Brother Butch Westover led the devotion. If anyone would like to join this faithful group of men, they meet every Thursday morning at six in Zion’s family life center.

Jimmy and I attended a Jackson General’s baseball game Thursday night along with Justin, Britany and Alivia Phillips. We had a blast, but Alivia wore me out climbing steps and dancing. Savannah German came over for a visit while taking a break from concessions. I can’t believe she is graduating from Union already.

Saturday, we traveled to Bruceton for a visit with Brother James and Linda Daniel, former pastor of Harmony where I grew up. It was exciting to see their daughter Kelly and her family, although we were too late to see their son Tim and his family. Tim and Kelly live in Memphis, but were celebrating Easter as well as Linda’s birthday.

We returned home just in time to watch our son Jason play softball. It was such a pleasant day to be outside and we enjoyed seeing two of our grands, Jacob and Lillie, while reminiscing with Ronnie and Lisa Edmonds.

Happy birthday to my dear friend Ginger Williams! May you have many more blessed days.

April dates to remember are: Associational Bible Drills-15, State/regional drills - 28, Grow Outreach - 12 and Spring Revival - 15 -18. Zion’s kick-off for VBS – May 30 with VBS June 4 – 8.

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

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

We had nine patients to celebrate their birthday this month and all nine were able to come to their party. All times, some are sick and just not able to come out of room, but this they were all able to come. Thank you to Wal-Mart bakery for such a lovely birthday cake. It was marble with whipped icing. Each birthday patients name was written on the cake. It was decorated with spring

colors and was delicious!Thank you volunteers

for coming this week: Christ Temple ladies, Rev. C.N. Ricks, First Assembly of God Church ladies, Westside Church of Christ, Russell Grove Baptist Church, Mrs. Ann Nuckolls, Mrs. Mary Barkens and Bingo ladies.

On Thursday afternoon we had a musical egg hunt. Our patients really seemed to enjoy this. Each one drew a number as the music played and the number they received matched a prize that had been placed on the table. There were over 50 prizes all marked with numbers. They seem to really enjoy their their prize plus refreshments. It

was a fun event!Thank you to James Allen

Clark, from Nashville, who came and performed for us on Saturday afternoon. Then on Monday morning The Whitings, also from Nashville, came singing 20’s, 30’s and 40’s music. Everyone enjoyed both entertainers.

We appreciate all our volunteers. National Volunteer Week is April 15 – 21. We will be having a volunteer social for all our volunteers on Thursday, April 19 at 2 p.m. Thank you volunteers for all you do.

Allen NewsEaster is such a beautiful

time of the year. The lovely trees, grasses and fl owers are coming back to life, just as our Savior arose from the tomb to reign victoriously over us. We are so grateful for His resurrection and for the salvation His victory over death brought us. Our God is a good God.

Allen Choir, under the direction of Harriet Stewart, presented their Easter Cantata on Easter morning. We have a magnifi cent choir, and our musicals could not be any better. Thanks to everyone for all of the hard work.

I attended church with Andrew, Alicia, Claire and Will. First United Methodist Church had a lovely service, as well, and I really enjoy being with my family.

All of my children and grandchildren gathered at our home for Easter lunch. We were very happy to have Pam and Tommy Russell, as well. After a delicious lunch, we totally enjoyed all of the grandchildren. Julian, Emily and the guys

had a great time on the golf green, while Claire was very entertained with an Easter egg hunt. Will and Autry will be big enough to hunt Easter eggs with Claire next year, but this year, they had plenty of attention from grandmothers, aunts and uncles. I thank God for such a beautiful day. We are so blessed.

The children of Allen enjoyed an Easter egg hunt on Saturday at the church.

The youth are still collecting items for the yard sale in May to benefi t their mission trip in June. If you have anything to donate, please contact Shey Lovelace.

Please continue to remember my sister, Patsy, and our family in the loss of Patsy’s son, Duke Warren. Patsy, Jennifer, Lori and the children really need your prayers.

Also, please pray for Mrs. Mary Jo Frady, who is in the hospital with pneumonia. She has really had a hard time, and we are praying that she will be feeling better soon.

Happy Birthday to Andrew Russell, Bobbie Francis Hopper, Lori Warren, Scott Russell, Cody Green, A.J. Cobb, Carlye Kirk, Max Green, Odell Curtis and Tiffany Young.

Happy anniversary to Tracy and Debbie Rodgers and David and Ginger Blurton.

On our prayer list are Patsy Francis Warren, Jennifer Warren Bowers, Lori Warren, Jim Stephenson, Mary Jo Frady, Ernest Lytle, Debbie Puckett, Carolyn Danley and Mary Ann Nolan.

Our Bible verses for this week are Philippians 2:9-10, which states, “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth and of those under the earth.”

Our pastor preached a beautiful “Resurrection Sunday” sermon and was enjoyed by all. Our youth choir was at their best and the Easter program was a great success! We were so happy to have all of our visitors. The children were so pretty. My granddaughter Nikita worshiped with Oakview Baptist Church on last Sunday for their Easter program. Kaeylyn and Kendall did a wonderful job with their Easter presentations. She really enjoyed herself. I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and a great week and weekend.

We were so happy to have my niece Connie Lee, stop by after service on Sunday. My godson, Tony Morgan, had dinner with us on Sunday. He is such a joy. James Henning, of Nashville, came down

to visit his family this past weekend. Marjorie Nicholson’s children and grandchildren had Easter Sunday dinner with her, as well as, Nancy Bond Drake.

Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea.” -Psalm 46:1-2

What a fantabulously, magnifi cent Easter weekend!!

Brenda and Travis Lonon had Easter lunch for their families after church Sunday. They were blessed to have both of their mothers join them, along with sister, Connie and husband Art Hart. Trey Lonon’s girlfriend, Sidney Sherrod from Crockett, went to church with all the Lonon’s Easter morning! Emily had to work as usual on Sundays, but Billy (Mary Margaret Lonon) grilled delicious tenderloin for son, Walt’s birthday and had all the Lonon’s for dinner! Whoa! What a terrifi c Easter party!

Happy 40th Wedding Anniversary to David and Kathy Cook, on April Fools Day! They have had a deluge of blessings this year! Easter weekend, son Adam, and his fi ancée Julie Schrade were honored at Fred and Sandra Silverstein’s home, with an amazing engagement party! Adam and Julie were thrilled to receive the well wishes of Brownsville friends and touched by dad, David’s, loving toast. Kathy and David’s daughter, (Adam’s sister) Rachel, and husband, Bob Freeman also attended, but had their own celebration to share! They announced their second child is on the way! Outstanding! Granddaughter Katie had a party at the Cook house

with Eliza and Mattie, daughters of Martha Lyle and Bob Ford. Incredible weekend!

Ann Harrell’s son, Tom Harrell from San Francisco, had been visiting during the Easter weekend. Ann’s granddaughter, Anna Caroline Lax, drove her Uncle Tom and Nana to Germantown on Friday, to dine at Owen Brennan’s. Tom will be missed when he fl ies back Tuesday. Andy Neely, the new Senior Pastor, preached his Easter sermon to a packed sanctuary at West Jackson Baptist Church.

Nancy Littlejohn had a joyous Easter! Tommy and Nancy had their children, grand children and great-grandchildren for Easter lunch and their annual Easter egg hunt. They also helped David celebrate his birthday! A marvelous day was had by all!

Things were hopping at the Presley Farm! Barry Presley and Mrs. Fay (Mawmaw) celebrated Easter as they worshiped and visited with the entire clan! The Golden Egg was won by Ella Lewis this year! The Presley porch was full of parents and cousins laughing and talking, while the children romped freely! Brett Stoots came home from Rhodes College and gave all the little Stoots cousins a huge tickle! They love their Uncle Brett!

Dr. Sue had a superb time with family this

Easter and had an especially spectacular time with her three year-old niece, while making lots of forever memories! She had previously spent an awesome weekend with her sister. Her sister restores her smile when she feels all tired and worn out! Dr. Sue says ‘nothing is as blessed as a sister and everyone should have one!’

My cousin Bobbie Nolan and I have barely been able to keep up with our 80 year-old mama’s since they arrived in Brownsville! Aunt Helen (my mom) and Aunt Rene (Bobbie’s mom) have utterly kicked up their heels and totally worn us out while we’ve been busy doing ‘damage control’! Whew! Jim and I will be carrying them back home Friday! But…they will… return!

Sad news last week… Jim Hayes, formerly of Brownsville, passed away in Virginia. His family had a lovely memorial service for him this past Easter weekend. Children Lee, Mark and Neil were there, along with their mother, Dianne Hayes. Jim’s father was the doctor who built the clinic Dr. Don Spencer now owns. Jim used to come in at Haywood Park Hospital to do Chaplain Duty. Rest in Peace Jim. You will be missed.

Could a metro-government type system—one that merges the city county into a unifi ed jurisdiction—work for Haywood County and Brownsville?

That’s what the county will explore, thanks to a recently appointed metro-government study committee.

Appointed by Haywood County Mayor Franklin Smith.

Earlier this year, the mayor brought up the idea of at least considering the pros and cons of having a metro-government in the area during January’s Haywood County Commission

meeting.Smith noted that he

wanted members that would actively serve on the committee.

The courthouse announced the names of those that will be serving on the committee. The list of names includes many prominent residents in the community, some who are already involved in Haywood County or Brownsville government in some capacity. In fact, some are either Haywood County Commissioners or Brownsville Aldermen.

The 24-members include:Haywood County

Commissioner Teddy W a l d r o p - C h a i r m a n , John Ashworth, Gem Bell, Alderman Thomas Averyheart, Freddie

Burnett, Jean Carney, Stanton Vice-Mayor Emma Delk, Commissioner Wally Eubanks, Brownsville City Clerk Jessica Frye, J.P. Hathcock, Mary Jane Hawkins, Andy Helms, Jerry Hollinsworth, Commissioner Allen King, Commissioner Sam Mathes Jr., Sue McElrath, James Morgan, Janice Rogers, Alderman John Simmons, O.G. Stewart, Terrence Swift, Greg Vanstory, Jerry Wilson and Keith Zaleski.

According to the release from the courthouse, the committee’s fi rst meeting is scheduled for Monday, April 16 6 p.m. in the grand jury room of the Haywood County Courthouse.

Meetings will be open to the public.

By sweeping Dyers-burg, a team that has made the region tour-nament semifi nals the last two seasons, in ex-tra innings Monday and Tuesday, the Tomcats now sit atop the North Division of District 13-AA with just two league games to play. Haywood (12-10 over-all, 4-2 district) won their fi rst district game in seven years earlier this month and can now fi nish atop the stand-ings with wins against Westview April 23 and 24. “I'm happy for the kids,” said Haywood coach Chris Messer, who is in his third year at Haywood. “The kids have done all this. Their

confi dence has contin-ued to grow and grow.”Thomas Currie was the hero in Tuesday's game at Brownsville. He came up with a bas-es-loaded single in the bottom of the ninth to propel Haywood to a 9-8 win. Haywood trailed 8-5 heading into to the bot-tom of the seventh be-fore Jarron Bryant drove in two with a double and Currie's RBI single forced extra innings. “Jarron and Thomas had some huge hits for us,” Messer said. Blake Porch was 3 for 3 with a triple and got the win in two innings of relief. Bryant was 2 for 4 with four RBI. Monday's 6-5 win in Dyersburg was nearly as dramatic. Porch came up with an RBI single in the top of the eighth to break a 5-5 tie and pitched the fi nal two innings to earn the

win. Seth Birdsong pitched the fi rst six innings and struck out nine. Jordan Fitzgerald was 2 for 4 and Houston Co-zart drove in a pair of runs. Haywood returns to ac-tion today at Bradford at 5 p.m., and Monday (road) and Tuesday (home) against South Gibson County. In other action: • Haywood defeated Bradford 8-6 in Hum-boldt on Friday. Bird-song was 2 for 3 with a double and three RBI and Bryant and Tay-lor Stokely each drove in two runs. Bryant pitched 5 and 2/3 in-nings for the win and Birdsong picked up the save. • Earlier on Friday the Tomcats beat Davidson Academy at Humboldt 5-2 by scoring three runs in the sixth and two in the seventh. Bryant was

2 for 4, Birdsong dou-bled and Thomas Jones earn the win. • Haywood defeated Scotts Hill in Jackson 11-1 on Thursday with seven runs in the sixth

inning. Birdsong was 3 for 3, Brandon Noble drove in three on two hits and Porch and Jones each had two hits. Porch struck out fi ve in a complete game win.

• Haywood fell at USJ 8-3 on Thursday. Jones and Stokely each had two hits and Porch drove in two runs.

Speaking of ovens, there’s nothing that heats up our house faster than a preheating oven and a few pans on the stove top. Slow cookers, on the other hand, use less energy and won’t turn your kitchen into, well, an oven. I think the crock pot often gets a bad rap thanks to the old way of slow cook-ing: bland recipes created from canned and prepackaged in-gredients. But the slow cooker is enjoying a quiet revival, and with it we’re seeing better recipes, such as this pulled-pork sandwich and these triple chocolate brownies.

Go retro with a crock pot.
