The Brownsville Exchange Club announced the return of “Your Field of Flags”, which will coincide with the Veterans Day Commemorative Ceremony November 11.

The semi-annual event will feature a display of over 300 American Flags to be fl own on the lawn of the Haywood County Courthouse.

The last time the event was held was back in 2010, where there were approximately 360 fl ags adorned across the city.

The fl ags will be installed October 29 and remain through November 18.

The fl ags are 3’x4’, mounted on an 8-foot white staff with a gold cap. They are also made of durable nylon, which is great if they need to weather any storms.

Donors will received their fl ags, along with placard and mounting rods, for display at their homes or businesses. The cost of sponsoring a fl ag is $25. They can be ordered from any Exchange Club member, the Chamber of Commerce, the Carl Perkins Center, Parks and Recreation and all of the banks. The deadline for sponsoring a fl ag is October 19.

One of the interesting appeals about Field of Flags is whom the fl ags are

dedicated to, which doesn’t always involve fallen soldiers.

“We have people that do it in honor of or in the memory of not just those in military service, but anyone they want to honor,” said Jody Lea, who serves as President of the Exchange Club.

With a long and detailed process of setting up the fl ags—from getting the green light from the county and city mayors to setting up a layout database for the fl ags—the club will have some help and support from Haywood County Parks and

Recreations, the Carl Perkins Center, Brownsville Energy Authority, BR Supply, Lasco and Smith Lumber Company.

All of the proceeds from the Field of Flags will benefi t the Exchange Club Carl Perkins Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse and other Exchange Club civic projects, like the Exchange Club scholarship.

Off the Beaten Path

I learned last week that the Cooper-Young neighborhood in Memphis received a national award recognizing it as one of the greatest neighborhoods in the United States.

The American Planning Association has placed the Memphis neighborhood on their list of the association’s 10 great neighborhoods in the nation.

The press release got my attention because I was associated with the neighborhood for about seven years in the late 1980s through the early 1990s. I was a member of the Cooper-Young Neighborhood Association from 1984 to 1991 and served as its president for two years (1988-1989).

My fi rst reaction was to read the press release and look at the factors that led to the association’s decision.

They cited Cooper-Young’s vibrant business and entertainment district, historical architecture and active and engaged residents.

This was very true during my involvement. Neighbors who had long ties to the community and younger residents moving in were united in what they felt the community could become and pledged to work toward that regeneration.

The release also shared information describing just how far the neighborhood has

come over the years. It stated that four

decades ago Cooper-Young was on the verge of becoming an eyesore. When I arrived in 1984, it had already become an eyesore and more. Beautiful old homes were either falling down or in great need of repair.

The business district also left a lot to be desired. The main intersection at Cooper and Young Streets contained a mixture of junk stores, a motor cycle shop that some said served as a place to consume alcohol and purchase drugs and a used car lot behind a badly worn chain link fence that looked more like a salvage yard than a car lot. You already get the picture. The community was never considered attractive during those years and neighbors often described the neighborhood as being “a God forsaken place.”

It comes as no surprise that the neighborhood has gained such national recognition within the last few years.

The press release from the American Planning Association listed a true and excellent summary of how Cooper-Young became so successful in revitalizing the neighborhood by stating that the success came about due to “determined residents and by a strong community and business association headed by

smart innovative leaders along with government support.” The support of the private sector also played a vital role.

It was no accident that Cooper Young arrived at its present destination. It was revitalized like building a house that started by strengthening the foundation and building the structure one brick at a time. A united effort of revitalization began by cleaning up the neighborhood. This included programs by government lending institutions that offered low interest loans to community dwellers to be used in cleaning up and making necessary repairs to their homes.

Eventually, the Cooper-Young Business Association was organized and headed up by some of the most innovative people around.

Well, the rest is history. To those who have Memphis ties and remember the Cooper-Young neighborhood back in the 1970s and very early 1980s, you should take the journey sometimes.It also might be worth their time if some Brownsville city planners would take that journey to midtown Memphis and turn south onto Cooper and see what long range planning (about 40 years) with determined residents and smart innovative leaders can accomplish.

A community rejuvenated

I was surfi ng the Internet early one morning last week when I came across a fascinating new research project done in Norway recently. It studied the effect on a marriage of men sharing, or not, household chores with their wives. Now everybody has heard that old saying, “a happy wife is a happy life”, and ask any woman what would make her happy and she will probably say something about a housekeeper.

So it would seem that the results of the study would be a foregone conclusion, but not so fast. Things aren’t always what they seem. The researchers found that the divorce rate among couples who shared domestic duties was 50% higher than in marriages where the wife did the lion’s share of them. The more housework a man did, according to the study, the more likely the marriage was to fail.

This, in spite of another surprising fi nding. They said that men who take on a larger share of domestic responsibilities have a better sense of well-being and report a better work-life balance than men who don’t.

But women whose husbands helped around the house didn’t report themselves as any happier at all than those whose husbands were slackers. At least one study found them to be less happy.

“How can this be?” wailed women all over the Internet in response to the announcement of the fi ndings, and indeed, how can it? Doesn’t everybody know that one of married women’s major complaints regarding their husbands is that they don’t do their share of household chores? What is it that little verse says?; “I like hugs. I like kisses. But what I really love is help with the dishes.”

Numerous other studies have found that women feel really, really strongly about men “pulling their fair share” of the housework, and practically no woman feels that her husband does. Still another study found that the average wife gets angry or irritated at her husband at least once a week about this.

So why does a man doing more housework not make them happier?

An American study done fi ve years ago tried to answer that very question without much success, but theories, naturally, abound. One is that married couples fall into two camps, “traditionalists” and “modernists.” Modernist

marriages feature more chore sharing, and one reason is that modernists tend to view marriage as a contract in which each spouse helps the other maximize his or her personal fulfi llment rather than a shared undertaking. Such marriages, so goes the theory, are account keeping agreements, agreements that do not trump the self-identifi ed individual best interests of the two partners.

Traditionalists, on the other hand, while they may share chores too, don’t see them as a contractual obligation. They see marriage as a sacred institution that calls for virtues such as sacrifi ce and loyalty to the marriage itself. It may be that it is not the chore sharing but the different way modernists view marriage that causes the higher divorce rates as chore sharing goes up and that modernist marriages are just more prone to failure in any event.

Then there is the darker theory, the one that drives feminists absolutely bonkers, and that is that it is women who usually leave a marriage (and it is) and that women just aren’t as physically attracted to men who do a lot of housework. And that’s all I’m going to say about that.

Still other studies show

that the relative happiness of the marriage partners is a good predictor of divorce danger. Women who are happier than their husbands are likely to stay around, but wives whose husbands are happier than they are, are much more likely to vote them off the island.

So as you can see, there is a lot of confl icting information out there, and as we all know, data can be manipulated to serve any number of purposes. Still, this new study linking shared house work to higher divorce rates is extremely provocative. Upon reading it, I decided I should share it with my lovely young wife, who ironically, was washing oatmeal out of a bowl at the kitchen sink at the time. Surprisingly, she found the study to be without merit.

But a few minutes later, as I was shaving, she stuck her head in the bathroom door. “Honey,” she said sweetly. “I’ve rethought what you told me about that new study about husbands and wives sharing household duties. There may be something to it, and in an effort to strengthen our marriage, I’m willing to let you do all of them.”

Hmm. Remind me not to bring up any more studies.

Chore Wars

Tuesday of this week was not a good day. It started off all wrong. You know? One of those days where you wake up, and immediately think you should just go back to bed.

It all started because I overslept by about 30 minutes. Which was really no big deal because I had plenty of time to get me and the kids ready for work and school and out the door on time. The problem was that I didn’t have enough time to take my time. I normally get up early enough to have coffee and straighten up my house before I leave for work. But, I ended up leaving the beds unmade and drinking my coffee as I got ready for work.

The entire day went pretty much the same. It just felt out of whack. I was looking so forward to going home, throwing on my pajamas and being completely useless for the evening. But, of course that didn’t happen.

By the end of the night I was so stressed out I felt like I could crawl in bed and sleep for at least three days. Unrealistic, I know, but that’s how I felt.

I had gone back into work that night to fi nish up some last minute things before press day, which is the busiest day around our offi ce. I hate to not have everything ready to go on Wednesday morning. While I was there, Vicky brought me my mail. I was so busy during the day I never even had a chance to open my mail.

There was a card from a very sweet lady who made my whole day better, and doesn’t even know it. Well, until now of course.

She wrote me a short little letter letting me know what a pleasure it has been for her to read my articles in the paper. She also mentioned that she thought the paper had improved since I joined the staff. “You must be tired at the days

end,” she said. And she defi nitely hit that nail on the head.

I try to stay busy, making sure that I cover any and everything going on in our community. I like to take pictures, and hope that all of the readers enjoy those pictures, and the stories that go along with them.

Reading her letter put a smile on my face, and made me realize that all of the hard work I am putting into this job is defi nitely paying off. It’s all about writing stories that people enjoy reading. I have questioned myself a few times since coming back to work here, but Mrs. Lewis put my mind at ease.

Mrs. Lewis, thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to write me expressing your appreciation for the hard work that I do. I truly appreciate it, and it means more to me than I can express through words. You defi nitely made my day!

One thing can change your whole day

Today, it is common to attack the Bible based on the “scribal errors” transmitted through copying. Before 1439, books had to be copied by hand. This naturally leads to scribal errors. If I told 20 people to copy the book of John, I would have 20 different copies with misspellings, errors of sight, and inadvertent mistakes. However, if I lost the original book, I could look at all 20 copies and determine what the original said. All 20 copies would have human mistakes, but they would not have the SAME mistakes. If one copy misspelled a word that the other 19 did not, I could deduce the original spelling.

We have over 6400 copies of Greek manuscripts. By studying all the copies, we determine the original reading of the text. What you have when you buy a Bible in the store is the combined study of all the manuscripts of the New Testament. The New Testament exploded on the Roman Empire quickly throughout a wide geographical range. It spread so rapidly and so uncontrolled that there was never a time in all of history that one man, or one group of men had control over the text to make wholesale changes. If someone in the 7th century changed the text, we know it, because other manuscripts were still buried in the sand waiting to be discovered.

Hometown Hometown HeroHero

BY JENNIFER [email protected]

November 16 will mark David Smith’s twenty-second anniversary as a paramedic with the Haywood County Ambulance Authority. He has spent the last 19 years as a shift supervisor. Most would assume, as I did, that David knew he wanted to be a paramedic all of his life, but that is not the case.

Smith graduated from Northside High School in 1985, but it wasn’t until 1989 that he knew what career path he wanted to pursue. He witnessed an accident on the by-pass in Jackson that year. He stopped to offer some help, allowing one of the victims to sit in his car while they waited for the ambulances to arrive. “I thought that was pretty cool,” said Smith. “It was then that I realized what I wanted to do with my life.”

In 1990, Smith enrolled in the EMT-Paramedic program at Jackson State Community College. That same year he began working for the Haywood County Ambulance Authority, and the rest, as they say, is history.

He graduated from Jackson State in 1992. That same year, he accepted a position working in the emergency room at Haywood Park Community Hospital. He continued to work full-time at the ambulance authority as well.

While working, Smith continued to further his education, graduating with an RN from Excelsior College in 2001.

In 2008, after 16 years, Smith left the ER at Haywood Park, and focused on his responsibilities as shift supervisor at the HCAA. However, in 2011 he

took another second job, accepting a position as a fl ight nurse with The Hospital Wing, a job that he continues to do today.

Smith has helped countless numbers of people, in what could no doubt be called the worst time of their lives, during his career. He has been on the scene of terrible car accidents and has answered hundreds, if not thousands, of calls from people who are sick or hurting over the last two decades. It no doubt takes a dedicated individual to be able to do the type of work Smith does.

“The best part of my job is the baby deliveries,” said Smith. “I get the chance to help life come into the world, as opposed to trying to prevent it from leaving.”

The best part of working in Haywood County is “the people,” said Smith. “I love the people I work with. They are just all around good people. They’re genuine EMT’s and paramedics that aren’t burnt out, and they care about their jobs and the people they serve.”

I asked Smith why he continued to work in our small community, when he obviously has enough experience and education to be able to work in a bigger city and earn a bigger salary. “Bigger isn’t always better” was his response. “We have a very aggressive medical director here. We are providing state-of-the-art treatments here that other counties aren’t. Sure I could have easily doubled my salary working as an RN years ago, but I love being a medic. And I love working here. It’s not always about the money.”

I asked Smith if he had any plans on changing his current career path, and he doesn’t. “My goal is to someday be Director, or

at least Assistant Director, right here in Haywood County.”

Smith also serves as a death investigator for Haywood County and the employee health nurse at the Haywood County Ambulance Authority. He has been married to his wife, Lydia, for 20 years. They have three children: Jill Bland, Lauren Cearley and Taylor Smith. They’re also proud grandparents to 10-year-old Riley Bland and 3-year-old Levi Silvers.

The citizens of Brownsville and Haywood County are lucky to have Smith. His dedication to helping people, whether it’s a weekend or holiday, 3 p.m. or 3 a.m., makes him a hero.

Three students win in career project contest

Recently the Health Science students at Haywood High completed career projects, and three students were chosen as winners. First place went to Madison Jackson, who chose the career of pediatric nurse as the theme of her project. Second place went to Aisha Shaw, whose career choice was dentistry, and third place went to Sara Rodriguez, who chose a career in veterinary science to highlight.

The Health Career Display project was a contest among students in the Health Science classes.

They were to pick one career they have an interest in and research that career. They were to include information on their project such as: defi nition, duties, salary, education required for that particular career, schools that offer the desired degree, personal qualities needed to be successful, and a professional resume. The posters were graded on the quality of their work and research, following the guidelines, and creativity.

“This project was very benefi cial in helping our

students fi nd a career that they can seriously consider pursuing. Also, in researching the guidelines, it had them become familiar with what kind of education and degree they should pursue, what particular schools they can obtain the degree from, and make an informed and educated decision about their future after high school. I am very proud of our students and the effort they put forth,” said teacher Julie Taylor. Kristin Carlton also teaches Health Sciences classes.

Almost 30 colleges, universities, technical schools and military representatives lined the perimeter of the Haywood High School gymnasium on College Day 2012 on October 3 as seniors and juniors had the opportunity to explore their after-high school opportunities. Organized by the HHS Guidance Department, Paula Edwards, Lara English and Luke Carter, this special day each year is offered in an effort to help high school students consider their options for life after graduation and give them the information they need to make decisions affecting their future.

The City of Brownsville submitted a grant on behalf of the Haywood County School system, and will serve as the school’s community partner. The GEARUP grant is a partnership between the City of Brownsville and Haywood County Schools that will focus on increasing academic achievement, academic rigor, high

school graduation, college or technical school access and a better prepared workforce.

The grant funds, totaling $643,000, will “service the seventh grade cohort of students at Haywood Middle School, and will follow that group of students through their fi rst year of post secondary education,” according to Superintendent Teresa Russell. It will also provide services to each senior

graduating class.Dorothy Bond, project

director, will oversee the program. Agencies partnering with the Haywood County Schools in the grant are the University of Memphis, Jackson State Community College, REDI College Access Program, Oasis Center, Inc. and the University of Tennessee Extension Agency.

According to Russell, the desired outcomes

of the grant include “strengthening the quality of instruction by providing professional development to teachers, providing early intervention for students who are struggling, providing mentors for those students, providing guidance to help students improve study habits and make course selections, educating the student and their family about the value of education, assisting with college

admissions and hosting Saturday Booster Camps, along with other services which will ultimately improve academic achievement, reduce the drop-out rate and increase graduation rates and college enrollment.”

“This is a great opportunity to partner with the City of Brownsville and these other entities to help develop college and career ready students,” said Russell. “As I have stated

before, it takes everyone to make education a success. I was thrilled when Mayor Matherne approached me with the idea. It truly shows a commitment to the public school system by our community.”

The fi rst meeting concerning the grant is scheduled for Thursday, October 11, and more information will follow in the weeks to come.

In Haywood High School, a gallant group of students have recognized the need for change. This group — the Biology II Honors class, aka the recyclers, aka those kids carrying the green cans in the hall — under the close supervision of their sponsor and instructor Coach Tim Stratton, are on their way to signifi cantly and positively impacting the community. “I am

not in it for money,” said Coach Stratton during one of his daily environmental class lectures. “I’m not getting paid for this and neither is the school. All I want is for us to help preserve our environment.”

The recycling program has already begun its work toward environmental aid. The students involved have started a successful school-wide recycling program that deals with paper, plastic, and even used cell phones. The group

is even contemplating creating a wetland either on campus or somewhere in the community. In accordance with that, there are also many other “secret” plans that they have cooked up to improve the everyday life of our fair town. Many of the Biology II Honors students are even willing to perform community service, i.e. picking up garbage, planting trees and fl owers, building benches and fences, digging holes, helping to remove toxic

waste, etc. Keeping that in mind, the

HHS Recycles program is literally brand new. Funding for the recycling students planned programs is low, and where there is little money there are few resources available. Coach Stratton has been planning a trip to Florida for the teens to watch different dissections and to learn how animals are impacted by water pollution. Even without a current bank account, the Biology

II Honors class is still hoping that a series of fundraisers will be enough to supply them with the resources they will need for the trip.

The group is working in cooperation with Haywood County Mayor Franklin Smith and Haywood County Solid Waste Department Director Clinton Neal, who provided the green boxes and is collecting the recyclables.

Even though HHS students were celebrating Color Day for Homecoming recently, it didn’t stop members of the Biology II honors class, under the direction of Coach Tim Stratton, from introducing their school-wide recycling program. Joining them for the announcement were Haywood County Mayor Franklin Smith (left), Haywood County Solid Waste and Recycling Director Clinton Neal (second from left) and HHS Principal Dr. Jerry Pyron (right).

Corey Newble and Montravious “Peanut” Pugh are good friends off the fi eld.

Newble, Haywood Middle School's quar-terback, and Pugh, the team's top receiver, have carried the cama-raderie onto the fi eld all season, and it was on full display Tuesday in Brownsville in the West Tennessee Athletic Con-ference playoff semifi -nals.

Newble found Pugh on touchdown passes of 67 and 42 yards as Hay-wood (8-1) defeated Munford Middle 34-16 to move into the WTAC title game for the sec-ond straight year.

“They are good friends,” said Haywood coach Ernie Jackson. “The thing is both of them want to share the ball. Peanut is as eager to block as he is catch-ing the ball. Corey wants to give the ball to other folks as well. They (other teams) know they can't stop them.”

Munford led 8-6 mid-way through the fi rst quarter before Newble hit Pugh on a 42-yarder with 3:07 left in the fi rst quarter to give Hay-wood a 14-8 lead they would never lose.

Just before halftime, Newble hit Chase Coul-ston on a 15-yard pass to the Munford one-yard line, setting up a one-yard TD run by

Newble. With 7:34 left in the

fourth quarter, Newble reversed direction be-hind the line of scrim-mage and broke an 84-yard TD run to give Haywood a 26-8 lead.

The fi nal nail in the coffi n came with 4:33 left when, on a third and 40, Newble hit Pugh on a fl y pattern down the sideline for 67 yards and another score.

Haywood's fi rst touchdown came on the second play of the game when Newble broke a 57-yard TD run.

Three weeks ago Hay-wood had to rally late to beat Munford Middle at home.

“These guys were ready this time,” Jack-son said. “We broke down fi lm and saw what they did. We just studied and executed.”

Haywood now moves on to the title game to face Brighton Middle in Brighton Monday at 6:30 p.m.

Brighton has won the last three titles and beat Haywood Middle two weeks ago.

“We're going to be ready,” Jackson said. “It's an amazing accom-plishment. The coaches, the volunteer coaches that are here do a great job. Haywood foot-ball is back. The fresh-men are 7-0 and play in the championship next week. The middle school's in the champi-onship again. That's two good building blocks right now.”

The second-ranked team in the state paid a visit to Brownsville on Friday night and re-mained undefeated with a 42-6 rain-drenched win over Haywood.

There were two light-

ning delays totaling near-ly two and a half hours.

Haywood trailed Cov-ington, ranked No. 2 in the latest AP Class 4A state poll, just 7-0 with 1:54 left in the fi rst quar-ter when lightning de-layed the game 90 min-utes.

When the teams fi nally lined up for play, light-

ning fl ashed in the sky again, forcing another delay, this one 45 min-utes.

“It wasn't fun,” said Haywood coach Slade Calhoun, whose team fell to 2-5 overall and 0-4 in District 13-AA.

Covington head coach Marty Wheeler called it a “wet, sloppy, miserable

night.”The Chargers (7-0, 4-0)

scored twice in the sec-ond quarter to take a 21-0 lead.

Haywood got inside the 10-yard line late in the second, but a fumble kept them off the score-board.

“We were about to go in (the end zone) before

that fumble,” Calhoun said. “It could have been closer. We had some pen-alties that stopped some other drives.”

Haywood's Jalen Elli-son scored on a 70-yard fumble return in the fi nal moments of the fourth quarter for Haywood's lone touchdown.

The Tomcat defense

held Covington's high-powered offense to 251 yards, but their offense never really got on track in the sloppy conditions and fi nished with 102 yards.

Haywood returns to action tomorrow night at home against South Gib-son County.

The Haywood Lady Tomcats got off to a bit of a slow start Tuesday af-ternoon at Peabody, but has been the case most of the season, they got go-ing in the second half.

Eliza Ford scored twice after halftime, including a goal on a penalty kick, as Haywood broke a 1-1 halftime tie to win 3-1.

Ebony Clark scored Haywood's fi rst-half goal.

“We're still not play-ing well in the fi rst half,” said Haywood coach Mixon Moore. “We're getting better though. What we've got to do as

a team now is put two halves together … That takes time for a young program.”

Last Thursday in Jack-son against South Side, Haywood fell behind 3-1 in the fi rst half.

Clark and Patsy Jame-son each scored in the second half to get Hay-wood back in the game, but South Side held on for a 5-4 win.

Molly McAdams and Clark each scored in the fi rst half. South Side led 3-2 at half time.

Haywood (6-8) has won four of its last fi ve games.

“I can get mad at them, but I have to look back at where they've been,” Moore said. Haywood

won three games last year.

“Overall I'm very proud of the last two games,” Moore said. “We've got a team that, when they're hit in the mouth, knows how to respond. We need to be the team that hits fi rst.”

Haywood will wrap up the regular season to-day at home against Dy-ersburg for senior night. The festivities begin at 6 p.m., with the game starting 30 minutes later.

The Lady Tomcats will begin region tournament play Monday at Peabody. Game time is tentatively set for 5 p.m.

The cross country team returns to action on Tuesday in the Best of the West at Obion County Central in Troy.

It’s the fi rst time the team has run in a meet in 21 days since the TCA Invite in Jackson. Junior Deonte Brown will be looking to con-tinue his success this season as the top run-ner on the team. Last year, Brown, who post-ed a career best 17:51.12 at the TCA Invite earlier this year, ran a 20:44.80 to take 50th in a very talented BOW fi eld last year. Senior Joshua Wilson also competed in the Best of the West meet, taking 59th place with a time of 21:22.76,

which still stands as his career best. “I’m hop-ing we can do better in this meet this year than we did last year.” Wilson said. “This cross country meet is the showcase meet for the region meet on Oct. 23. It’s very important that we use this meet as a tool to prep for the Region A-AA meet.” There will be three seniors – DeMarious Douglas, Chris Parker and Wilson - running in their last regular sea-son cross country meet on Tuesday. Douglas is in his fi rst season as a cross country runner. He lettered this past spring on the track and fi eld squad. Douglas is a part of several re-cords that were broken this past spring on the

4x400, 4x800 and the DMR (distance medley relay) relays. He is also in the band.

Parker is competing in his fi rst season on the cross country team and is also on the ROTC.

Wilson is in his sec-ond season on the cross country team and has been the team's num-ber two runner for the past two seasons. He is also a letterman on the track and fi eld team. Wilson is a part of sev-eral records that were broken this past spring on the 4x800 and the DMR relays. The team will have senior day at the girl’s soccer game today at home against South Gibson County at 6 p.m.

Hillville - Eurekaton News

If you ever think life at Sugar Creek is boring, you are so wrong. We laugh so much each day that our stomachs ache. The residents can make you smile when nothing else can. They can be so humorous even when they aren’t trying. Our residents take each day as it comes and deals with whatever is thrown their way and they do it with so much style. This is one of the best places I have ever worked and I’m not only speaking for myself but for most of the staff here. Sugar Creek is the happening place as Mrs. Shirley used to say.

October is so full of birthdays; we will be partying all month long. Everyone is thrilled to be turning another year older and to be around to enjoy it. What an attitude to have, some of the younger generation should learn something from that. My generation included. Birthdays for

the month of October are: Lyde H-3, Carolyn F-5, Lily P-9, Myra Jo H-10, Eleanor E-13, and Virginia F-14. I told you there were a lot of birthdays this month.

The weather is just wonderful and we are taking it all in. I saw a movie the other day, The Odd Life of Timothy Green. In this movie when he would do what he was sent there to do he would look up to the sun, open his arms and just soak in as much of the sun as he needed. That is what we are doing here. Each day we just go out and soak up as much of this wonderful fall weather as our bodies allow us to. We do love Fall.

We have a new resident coming this week; she is such a sweet lady. I got to meet her for the fi rst time in her apartment on Friday. Her daughter decorated her apartment with

such wonderful style. She has this awesome sunfl ower arrangement on her door, so beautiful. Welcome Dale, we are so happy to have you at Sugar Creek.

Our crafts for the week included making fall bracelets, Margaret Ann was running a little late to that one, but she was able to get her one made. Then we painted pumpkins, they turned out adorable. I think the staff that was helping had as much fun as the residents.

Make plans now to come out and visit us sometime. We love for groups to come and sing or do some crafts with the residents. You could be our next celebrity bingo caller. Our ladies loved to be pampered, so if you want to come out and paint nails just let us know. Sugar Creek would love for you to come see us. Have a great week everyone.

Wow! What a great time we had on Wednesday, as some of our residents went to the Senior Olympic Event at the Fairgrounds in Jackson. We had several residents who won medallions. Mr. William Batchelor won fi rst place in the talent contest playing his harmonica and singing, Mrs. Molly Lott won third place in horseshoes, Mrs. Opal Brack won third place in the bean bag toss and Mr. James Bell won third place in basketball. Mrs. Mae Mathis was our banner carrier and Mr. Michael Gray was our torch carrier. A delicious meal was delivered to us by Chik-Fil-A. Sixteen residents attended this great event, plus some of their family members.

Thank you to Mrs. Margaret Phillips and her daughter, Kelly, for making all of the name badges and the lovely purple skirt for our banner carrier to wear.

We welcome Mr. Dudley Sanders to our facility, and hope he enjoys his stay with us.

Thank you volunteers for coming this week: Christ Temple ladies, Sonny and Sandi Bishop, First Assembly of God Church ladies, Mrs. Ann Nuckolls, Community Temple of the Living Church and the Bingo ladies.

We had another great event on Thursday. We had a birthday party. Thank you to Wal-Mart Bakery for the delicious cake that was decorated

for fall. Also, thank you to Oakview Baptist Church for all of the lovely birthday cards. Special entertainment by “The Whitings” from Whiteville was enjoyed. Thank you also to the Treasure Chest for all of the lovely balloons that they gave to each resident celebrating a birthday.

Friday afternoon, James Allen Clark from Nashville came singing and playing his guitar. He sang gospel and country music. Everyone always enjoys hearing him.

October resident of the month is Mrs. Mae Mathias. Congratulations, Mrs. Mae.

Thought for the week: A song in the heart gives the day a good start.

Just a reminder to everyone, don’t forget to come out to Harmony Baptist Church this Saturday, October 13 beginning at 4pm to help with their 175th anniversary celebration. Hamburgers and hot dogs will be served. Previous members and pastors will give testimonies. Then the celebration will carry over to the Sunday morning worship service with Dr. Randy Davis, Director of the TN Baptist Convention as the guest speaker.

Congratulations to Bro. Robert Whitley and the congregation of Good Hope MB Church on the groundbreaking of their new sanctuary.

Mt. Pleasant UMC was honored to have Dr. Tommy Russell with Gideons International as their guest speaker on Sunday, October 7th.

The Mt. Pleasant UMW met on Wednesday, October 3 in the Fellowship Hall. Hope Cannon presented the program and a special World Thank Offering was taken up. Those in

attendance were Deborah Lewis, Hope Cannon, Barbara Hayes and I.

The Mt. Pleasant congregation is sad to see Mrs. Esther Bendush move to California to be closer to her son, Bill and his family. We wish you safe travels Mrs. Esther and you will always be in our prayers. Mrs. Esther and her late husband, Mr. Bill were truly an inspiration to me and my family.

Travis, Krystle and I enjoyed shopping at Friendly Frank’s fl ea market in Jackson over the weekend.

Birthday celebrations this week include Tara Johnson, Amber Evans, Lindsey Martin, Anita Berry, Sarah Cowan, Elaine Cowan, Jeremy Qualls, Stephanie Stuart, Dennis Watson, Carol Edmonds and Noah Elrod.

This week’s prayer list includes Marie Haase, Roscoe Martin, Frank Fergie, Perry Ann McCloud, Doug Jones, Olivia Watson, Leah Scallions, Jennie Benard, Ceree Canada, Luther

and Edna Austin, Gary Koch, Anneli Myers, Enid Powell, Fletcher Lewis, Shirley Morgan, The Military, The Nation and the Community.

Sympathy to the families of Mrs. Ruth Taylor, Mrs. Betty Fincher and Mr. Lloyd Taylor in the loss of their loved ones.

In closing, our Thought for the Week is “God loves you just as you are” by Jeanette Krige of South Africa as published in the Upper Room Devotional. The key to achievement is discovering that God not only listens to our prayers but He accepts all of us. God does not value us according to where we live, how educated we may or may not be or by our material wealth. God simply loves each of us as we are. All He wants in return from us is to have a loving relationship with Him.

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

Until next week....God bless.

Our thoughts need to go to Patrick Mann as he goes through surgery. We are cheering for you Patrick!

It is newspaper article time again. What to write? What to write? What to write? Hmmmmm . . . . . having a wee bit of diffi culty in determining what library programs to write about. We have quite a bit going this month however, the calendar was presented in last week’s newspaper article. The information does bear repeating though. People need to know about the computer classes being offered this month. (Classes are on Tuesdays from 8:30-9:30am or from 3-4pm. We have just a few classes left.

What is more beautiful than the colors of fall? Traveling through our beloved state and viewing as Lee Greenwood says “the hills of Tennessee” in their fall colors is breathtaking. Every autumn, I get calls about what causes or triggers the leaf color change of trees and when will that occur. Recently, University of Tennessee Forestry Professor, Wayne Clatterbuck provided great information on this subject in the October Forestry, Wildlife, and Fisheries Newsletter. He wrote that foliage color factors are related to weather conditions prior to and during fall therefore predicting when the change occurs can be quite tricky because of the interaction of environmental factors.

Leaves will change color each year, but the questions

about how vibrant the color will be, peak leaf color, when the color will occur and how long the color might last are infl uenced by temperature and moisture conditions.

Clatterbuck noted that the color of leaves changes fi rst at the higher elevations where it is cooler, then progresses to the valleys at the lower elevations. Color in the mountains usually begins during the second week of October and advances to the valleys and the plain of west Tennessee by the end of October and even lasting into the fi rst two weeks of November. Thus, leaf color can be seen at various dates depending on your location. Peak color in the mountains is not the same date as peak color at lower elevations.

Also, note that changing leaf color is triggered by the shorter days of sunlight

(photoperiod) which is constant from year to year, then infl uenced by temperature and moisture.

The best conditions for leaf color are cool nights and warm days, adequate moisture and sunny conditions. However, part of the joy of fall leaf color is that variable weather each year, primarily moisture and temperature, ensures that each year’s leaf coloration will be distinctive.

So, as football enters into mid-season, enjoy the scenery as you travel to Rocky Top to watch the Vols. I know that as I journey over Mounteagle to visit my daughter at UT-Chattanooga, I’ll be reminded of the lyrics of a great hymn, “When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur” and see the beautiful fall color I will “there proclaim my God how great thou art.”

Factors that Affect Fall Leaf Color

“Answering Some Questions About Heaven” was the subject of the message. Many activities will be going on in Heaven: worshiping God, serving, singing praises and fellowshipping. There will be no need for doctors or undertakers. We will be known as we are, for God created each of us uniquely as individuals. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Heaven is as close to believers as the next breath, yet it is far away, unreachable. If we went to the far ends of the universe, we would not fi nd Heaven. The only way a person can reach Heaven is by confessing their sin and trusting Jesus as Lord and Savior to save.

The choir, led by Brother Ralph Brown, did a beautiful job singing “Till the Storm Passes Over” for special music. The church welcomed Hosea Lemus into its fellowship on profession of his faith. Happy birthday to Alex Ward, Amber Vales, James Steele, John Gilana, Ryan

Jones, Sarah Peace and Jeffery McIntyre. Happy anniversary to Milton and Becky Booth.

Alan and Debbie Jones traveled to Daytona Beach for a weeks stay. They were joined by Heath and Julie Hopkins, as well as Hayden, John, Ronnie and Gloria Hopkins. The wedding of Casey and Andrew Simmons was held last Saturday in Somerville. We wish them many happy years together.

Our hearts went out to Virginia, John, Mike and Arthur and the Taylor family in the death of Mr. Lloyd Taylor. Lloyd was a quiet, reserved person who loved his family, friends and most of all, the Lord. Friends and relatives came until nearly 11 that night visiting with the family. Mrs. Jane Carr’s funeral was held at Holly Grove Church with former pastor, Rev. Roe Neal, delivering the eulogy and funeral message. We express our sincere sympathy to her eight children and their families. It was a sweet service.

The sick are in need

of our prayers. We welcomed brother Fred Campbell back at church Sunday. He recently had surgery. Bettye Doyle is scheduled for surgery soon. Others are Betty Barden, Mark Stephens, Sharon Davis, Dewey Jones, Fletcher Lewis, Ouita Holt, Viola Brown, Justin Climer, Bobby Perry and Butch Wilson. Also include Dorsey Watridge, Lucin English and Ray and Janie Height. And please pray for our great country and that God will not remove His hand of protection from us, and for this upcoming election, we are heading down some wrong paths.

Lorie Jones was excited this week when who else but Senator Bob Corker came into McDonalds. She was able to welcome him. He was speaking in Brownsville.

Holly Grove Church will be hosting the Christian Worldview Weekend this weekend beginning on Friday at 7 p.m. and go through Sunday night with Dr. Freddie Davis speaking.

The Lord’s Supper was observed at Allen on Sunday. The choir sang the special music, In Remembrance of Me.

Wanda and Mike Dew, along with Susan and Jim Miller, enjoyed a long weekend trip to Southern Illinois recently. They stayed in a lovely Bed and Breakfast in Shawnee Hills and loved seeing the beautiful vineyards, apple orchards and other gorgeous scenery. They came back through Metropolis and had a nice time in this interesting city.

Alicia, Andrew and family enjoyed a long weekend in Gatlinburg last week with the entire Russell clan. Pam planned a very special get-away with all the children and grandchildren as a surprise for Tommy’s birthday. The family had a wonderful time visiting and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. Happy Birthday, Tommy Russell!

My grandson, Jude, spent some time with us over the weekend. On Sunday afternoon, he played golf with his granddaddy. Monday, he and I spent the day in Memphis. He is a busy young man now and doesn’t spend as much time with his grandmother as I would like. I certainly enjoy having him visit with us.

Brother Greg Jordan, along with Anna Claire and a friend, had lunch with Mrs. Mary Jo Frady one day last week. They really enjoyed their time together.

Our beautiful granddaughter, Krista, who lives in Boston, celebrated her birthday on October 4.

Happy Birthday Krista! We love you.

Happy Birthday wishes also to Billy Kirby, Jerry Harwell, Peggy Canady, Danny Leath, Mike Presley and Mrs. Marie Baggett.

Happy Anniversary to Lee and Malorie Carter,

Mark and Dale Kendrick and Gene and Judy Laster.

We extend our sincere sympathy to the family of Ruth Taylor, who passed away last week. Please keep this sweet family in your prayers. Also, remember the Fincher family.

Ms. Mary Jo Frady needs our prayers. She had some tests run last week and should be getting the results this week. She also broke her toe!! Please remember her in your prayers.

Also on our prayer list are Mary Jo Frady, Dennis Corkery, Ceree Canada, Carolyn Danley and Fletcher Lewis.

Our Bible verse for this week is John 1:12, which states, “But as many as received Him, to them He gave power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe in His name.”

Douglas NewsThe Concerned Citizens

of Douglass Community Organization held its regular meeting last week with much interest of happenings in the community and ask that we still cooperate and participate in community services and activities.

On Friday evening, the Women of the Douglass Chapel C.M.E. church presented a very timely and inspiring program on “Women of the Bible,” sponsored by Rev. J.B. Leverette and the ladies, with participants from them and other participants, even with inclement weather, participation was great and everyone in attendance seemed to have been inspired.

Douglass Chapel C.M.E.

Church will be sponsoring their Fall Fest on Saturday, October 13 from noon until ?, and invites you to help them celebrate.

Robert and Debra Grey from New York recently visited Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Mask and other family members. Their visit is always enjoyed.

Our prayers for the sick, shut-in and bereaved: Callie Brooks, Callie Langford, Marie Browning, Betty M. Harris, Ada Starks, Rev. Floyd Lewis, Edward Vaulx, Jr., Glen McFarland, Beatrice Chapman, Pastor Shirley Richmond, Mary N. Greer, Willie Douglas, Jimmie L. Turner, Shirley Hunter, Betty Douglas, Gladys Bowles, William “Bit” Graves, Ora L. Mann, Charlotte Blair and Betty

Brooks. Many more happy birthday celebrations to Mrs. Emma Miller, who recently celebrated her 96th birthday.

It was very exciting to be present on Saturday evening at the NAACP banquet and see one of our former community persons being honored along with other outstanding women of the county. Mrs. Callie Sue Brown, who also recently turned 96 years old, is an admirable person who now resides in Nashville with her children, but comes to visit our area sometimes. She is always cheerful and good to spend time with. We applaud the committee that selected her.

Wellwood/Zion NewsSunday morning Dr.

McSwain brought a fabulous sermon at Zion Baptist Church, but I left my notes on the pew and my mind is blank.

Sunday night four new discipleship classes started at ZBC for adults with Michael Johnson leading a men’s study, Robin Johnson leading a women’s study, and Brice Meeks and Stewart Tritt leading co-ed studies.

Zion participated in Union University’s Ministerial Day with Phillip Lundy as guest speaker Sunday night. Everyone that I asked said he did a great job! One person even said he was one of the best we’d ever had.

Justin, Britany, and Alivia Phillips called as we were leaving the football game Tuesday to invite us to meet them at the Brownsville Burger Basket. We were delightfully surprised when they bought our supper!

Congratulations to Andrea Shetler who served as the 7th grade representative at the HMS Homecoming. I forgot to put that in last week and I do apologize, but her Aunt Andrea Hay was sick and her mom Darlene was helping out and didn’t get back with me soon enough.

However, she was beautiful and her aunt is defi nitely on the mend after spending a week in Regional Hospital with pneumonia.

I know we missed a “miracle in Mark” Wednesday night, but Jimmy and I celebrated our anniversary by going out to eat. We then did a little shopping for each other although he had already brought me roses and a “love note” by my work at lunch.

Rex Barnes reported eight attended the men’s community prayer breakfast with Brother Butch leading the devotion. If anyone would like to join this faithful prayer group, they meet Thursday mornings at 6:00 in Zion’s family life center.

October is fi lled with birthdays!! Happy belated birthday wishes to Hayleigh (9) and Trent Austin (8) who celebrated their October birthdays at ZBC Saturday. There was a ton of fun, food, and prizes for everyone and I enjoyed the fellowship while they partied!

Happy belated birthday wishes to mama (Alice Elrod) and Joyce Maness as well as my sister-in-law Barbara Elrod and nephew Caleb Potter. Hope all of you had a fantastic time on

your special October day. By the way, Elijah Holt-

Allen will be eight on October 23rd and Lauren Mann will celebrate her birthday on the 26th. I know that ZannaLee Potter will be celebrating her fi rst birthday Saturday and Sydney Witherspoon will celebrate her third, I think.

Don’t forget shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child. WMU meeting is October 11th at 6:30 in the FLC. Bake sale and stew on October 13th. Fall Fiesta is October 27th at 4:00. Baby shower for Rachel Stewart is October 28th in the FLC at 2:00. She’s registered at Target and Toys-R-Us. Marriage retreat at the Hilton in Brentwood is November 9th – 1th.

Please continue to pray for Allen Outlaw as he continues healing from recent heart surgery as well as the Carr family in their loss (Lee Morris’ grandmother and Ms. Mary Lee Kirkpatrick’s mom).

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

The Tennessee Trash Car Show in Brownsville will celebrate its 33rd anniversary Sunday, October 21. The show is one of only a handful in the area that has been held consistently for over 30 years. This year’s event will take place at the WOW/Elma Ross Public Library, 100 Boyd Ave.

The club began in 1978

when Tim Sills, David Duke and Jim Mayer began fi xing up old cars and traveling to area shows, some as far away as Indianapolis. Eventually these three decided they should organize their own and the fi rst Tennessee Trash Car Show was held in 1979. The title “Tennessee Trash” is taken from the old Tennessee

Department of Tourism song about keeping Tennessee beautiful.

While the actual ‘club’ no longer exists, former members and a few newcomers continue the tradition that raises money for Haywood County charities. The Multiple Disability Class has been the benefi ciary of the show’s proceeds for most

of the 33 years. “This is something we

love and it’s a way for us to give back to our community,” says Sills. Over the years, the event has contributed more than $100,000 to local charities.

For the past few years, the show has been held in conjunction with the annual Hatchie Fall Fest during the third weekend

of October. Participants are asked

to register between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. Entry fees are $25 per car and includes an event t-shirt. Judging will begin at 1:30 p.m., and winners will be announced during an awards ceremony at 2:30 p.m. There will be classes for all entries.

With 100+ cars

participating, Sills estimates that crowds reach well into the thousands during the daylong event. There is no admission fee for spectators. Concessions and t-shirt sales will be available.

For more information, contact Tim Sills, 731-780-6061; Wayne McCool, 731-772-9276; or Joe W. Sills, 731-780-1356.
