“Are they dead that yet speak louder than we can speak, and a more universal language? Are they dead that yet act? Are they dead that yet move upon society and inspire the people with nobler motives and more heroic patriotism?” ~Henry Ward Beecher

If you were in Brownsville during the long weekend then hopefully, you attended

the annual Memorial Day Program hosted on the court square, Monday May 28.

The VFW Post 4838 and the Joe Wheeler Chapter of the UDC hosted the event.

Many gathered around the “Fallen Heroes” Monument, which contains 108 names of Haywood County fallen soldiers lost during confl icts in the 20th

century.The Memorial Day

program is known to pull in interesting guest speakers for its program. Last year, attendees heard words from U.S. Army retiree and Chaplain Lt. Col. Barry Presley.

This year, the guest speaker was Congressman Stephen Fincher. Fincher, is a resident of Frog Jump, Tennessee, a member of the House

Committee on Financial Services and serves on the Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit Subcommittee as well as the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee. He is a strong supporter of our military and veterans. He is married to Lynn and they have three children: John Austin, Noah and Sarah.

Relay For Life, now approaching its 16th year will take place Saturday June 9. This year’s Relay has seen quite a few changes. For one, Kenny Ellington has picked up the mantle of local chairman.

Two, this year’s event will move from its usual location at the Haywood High School Football Field to the court square area.

Taking place all day on Saturday on the court area, one could get the feeling that Relay could feel a little like Brownsville’s other favorite festival that takes place in the fall.

A schedule of events has been revealed for the event, with a list of the entertainment.

Relay will have a variety of music acts, from the bluegrass styling of Wildwood Express to the Peacemakers, a singing group composed of Memphis Police Offi cers. You’ll also see other local favorites like The Barnetts and David Smith.

The entertainment schedule is as follows:

1:10 p.m.: Peacemakers2 p.m.: The Barnetts4 p.m.: Christ Church5 p.m. David Smith The SingingFireman6 p.m.: Wildwood Express7 p.m. Killn’ Time8 p.m.: The Waiting

With the campaigning running feverishly around Brownsville, election season has truly begun.

A few weeks ago, the Haywood County Election Offi ce began setting and testing election machines in the Haywood County Justice Complex. The purpose of the test was for the fi rst major election this summer, the city election Haywood County Election Offi ce Administrator Of Election Andrea Smothers said.

Now, early voting is already underway for the city election, and will run until Thursday June 14 in the Haywood County Courthouse, specifi cally in the old sheriff’s offi ce downstairs.

Unemployment steadily drops again in Haywood CountyBY: CALVIN [email protected]

It looks like the unemployment rate in Haywood County has experienced another gradual drop.

According to reports from the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development for the month of April, Haywood County’s unemployment rate dropped to 10.8 in April from 11.7 in March. In April of last year, the unemployment rate was 13.4.

Haywood County’s labor force is totaled at 8,590 with 7,670 listed as employed. That leaves 920 who listed as unemployed by the state.

And how do other areas of the state compare?

The rate decreased in 84 counties, increased in fi ve and remained the same in six.

Knox County had the state’s lowest major metropolitan rate of 5.8 percent, up from 5.6 percent in March. Davidson County was 6.5 percent,

“Oh no! Wait, don’t take my photo just yet. Let me fi x myself up,” Terrance Swift, of Haircuts And Shaves said while noticing a camera about to snap a photo.

He does spruce himself up a bit, washing his hands of the hair he’s spent all day cutting, as well as partner Phoenix Flagg. One has to take note of the irony: those who make a living “fi xing others up properly” are making themselves look presentable.

If you noticed the robust number of customers that keep coming back to Swift, Flagg and Manager Joy Walker, you would have to surmise, that

when it comes to “fi xing people up,” the trio do a remarkable job.

Hair Cuts And Shaves, located at 18 South Washington, has reached fi ve years of service on the court square, a prime spot for any business that offers great service. Offering haircuts, shaves, shoe shines and even beautician services to customers, the business has done nothing but continue to grow.

As long time customer, Pastor Phil said, “I’ve been coming here ever since they moved to the square.

“He cuts it the way I like it,” the pastor said while pointing to Swift.

“We love our clients,” Walker said.

If Pastor Phil has anything to say about it, it’s apparent their customers love them.

Swift and Phoenix

attribute that love, to many factors, like their community involvement.

The business has been known to donate to charities as well as simply support local SYS basketball and baseball teams.

“Being seen in the community is very important to a business,” Swift said. “We support on the outside of the shop as well.”

Their business’ likeability is also related to something much more personal.

“I think people like our personalities, great sense of humor and our service,” Flagg said.

“You got to create an environment that’s diverse, that people can come in a feel like they can relax here,” Swift added. “A good family atmosphere.”

Haircuts And Shaves is open Tuesday and Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thursday 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturdays 6 a.m. to 4 p.m.

A Cut Above The Rest

Molly Lott and William Batchelor, residents at Crestview Health Care and Rehabilitation Center, were recent contestants in the Golden Beauty Review held at Jackson Meadows. Molly Lott won “Best Personality” and received a trophy. William Batchelor was crowned “King” and also received a trophy, as well as a crown. They were so excited!

Friday May 25, First State grilled out for their customers during their annual Customer Appreciation Day. Their was a drawing for grill sets for those customers that attended. First State would like to thank their customers for all their support.

Relay will also host a number of activities, including a dog show, hula hoop contest, lemon sweep contest, donut eating contest, egg race, and water balloon toss. The famous frozen t-shirt contest will make an appearance as well, which should help some attendees beat the heat.

Of course, Relay will take the time to honor survivors and lost loved ones during survivor lap and luminary ceremony.

It’s an event that Ellington is very excited to see come to fruition.

And while Relay does offer a lot of good clean

fun for the community, it’s perhaps important to remember that the even is meant to help battle against cancer. All proceeds will go to the American Cancer Society.

Relay For Life mobilizes communities throughout the country to celebrate people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and provide participants with an opportunity to fi ght back against the disease. Relay For Life brings together friends, families, businesses, hospitals, schools, faith-

March. Davidson County was 6.5 percent, down from 6.6 percent in the previous month. Hamilton County was 7.0 percent, down from 7.3 percent, and Shelby County was 8.3 percent, down from the March unemployment rate of 9.1 percent.

T e n n e s s e e ’ s

unemployment rate for April fell to 7.8 percent, down from the March revised rate of 7.9 percent. The national unemployment rate for April 2012 was 8.1 percent, 0.1 percentage point lower than the March rate.

It will interesting to see how the rate changes

as the summer and fall seasons approach, especially as new businesses set up in the county. Precision Coil should be in the process soon of moving their equipment into their Brownsville facility. And a Milano’s restaurant has been said to be coming to Brownsville.

UNEMPLOYMENT continued

The March of Dimes will kick off their annual March for Babies 2012 for Haywood County at their 14th Annual March for Babies Golf Tournament on Thursday, June 7, 2012 at the Brownsville Country Club. Local families and business leaders will join the March of Dimes for a day of fun at the golf course honoring babies born healthy and those who need help to survive and thrive.

This year’s B r o w n s v i l l e Ambassador is Seth Birdsong, son of Pam Earnest. Seth was born on October 25, 1994 and will turn 18 years old this year. When Pam was only 30 weeks into her pregnancy, she was put on bed rest due to losing amniotic fl uid and the possibility of having a premature birth of her baby. This helped for a short time and gave Seth 4 more weeks before being born at 34 weeks. Pam went into premature labor and was hospitalized with the rupture of membranes, fetal distress and placenta previa. Seth was born weighing 5lbs and 9 ozs. This is quiet a large size for a preemie but he still some of the problems associated with early delivery. He experienced fetal distress, his lungs were not fully developed therefore he required oxygen and had apnea. He was intubated at delivery and also experienced intracranial hemorrhaging. He was in the NICU for 3 days. Because of his prematurity, he experienced delayed motor skills, attention span defi cit and did not walk until he was 15 months old. Even though Seth came into the world as a preemie with these problems; he has overcome his learning diffi culties and has been an honor roll student most of his life. He has excelled in baseball and football and is now a 6’3” young man. Seth and his mother, Pam are excited to represent the March of Dimes as our County Ambassador Family for 2012. They are walking and raising money so that other parents do not have the same trauma they had. They are walking to support the research and new born testing that the March of Dimes has provided for ALL Babies. Over the years since Seth’s birth there has been much success in the research funded by the March of Dimes. They are also grateful to the March of Dimes for the Research provided to help all babies born premature to be able to survive and lead a normal life. They encourage everyone to come out and take part in the upcoming March for Babies Golf Tournament on June 7, 2012 at Brownsville Country Club and participate in the Annual March for Babies which is scheduled for the fi rst Saturday in October, (October 6, 2012). The walk will start at College Hill and go through the beautiful historical district of Brownsville end up back at College Hill for a picnic and activities for the children. Registration for the walk begins at 9:30 a.m. and the walk will begin at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 6, 2012. Make plans now for your fundraising activities and be a participant to help all

babies be born healthy.To register for an event

Off the Beaten Path

PeeplesBy 28th Judicial District Circuit Court Judge Clayburn Peeples

Poor, poor members of Congress. They just can’t win with the media. Hardly a week goes by without some pundit or columnist trotting out some survey or poll highlighting this or that defi ciency in the way they do business. The news is full of reports of favorability/unfavorability ratings, percentages of missed votes and so on, and almost always, the angle of the story is to bring discredit upon Congress and its members.

And it seems to have worked. As we have been reminded time after time, their approval rating, as a body, continually hovers near single digit territory.

The latest barrage of criticism has to do with the way our congressmen and women speak. It seems that someone took the time and trouble to run the entire Congressional Record for the last three decades through a readability test program to determine the speaking and writing level of every single senator and congressperson. They used something called the Flesch-Kincaid readability test, and they made headlines all across the country by suggesting that Congress has been “dumbed down” over the last seven years.

Why? Because the average Flesch-Kincaid score of Congress’s offi cial discourse has dropped from an eleventh grade level (11.5) in 2005, to 10.6 last year. That means, according to dozens of articles on the matter, that our representatives in Congress talk like a bunch of high school sophomores.

Not so fast. Let’s think this through. First of all, the Flesch-Kincaid readability test calculation uses only two statistics, syllables per word and words per sentence. That’s all. It doesn’t differentiate between multi syllable words like “television” which virtually everyone in the world understands, and words like “sagacity” with which many people are not familiar.

The test also does not measure context in speech, or whether a sentence actually makes any sense at all. The test result says nothing about the quality of the ideas

expressed in speech or writing.

But it does give a rough idea of how understandable a writing or speech sample is in terms of how much schooling one needs in order to understand it. It can be a useful tool in evaluating books and periodicals for classroom use by indicating that one or another might be too diffi cult for certain grade levels.

But it has virtually no relevance when talking about the ways in which the various members of Congress communicate with each other or their constituents.

But that didn’t stop the Sunlight Foundation, which conducted the study, if you can call it that, from implying that this year’s lower scores meant that the current congress is less sophisticated, and perhaps less intelligent, than past ones.

They pointed out that Republicans scored slightly lower than Democrats on the scale, a fl ip from 2005 when Democrats lagged slightly behind them. Several reporters took great delight in pointing out that the ten members with the lowest scores were all conservative Republicans. Most reporters left out the fact that eight of the top ten were also conservative Republicans, but that may not have fi t the narrative.

Neither, perhaps, did the fact that our president’s speeches only score at an eighth grade level. His last State of the Union message came in at 8.4, not too impressive, but higher than his 2010 message. As a matter of fact, President Obama has given three of the lowest rated State of the Union speeches in history, each of them at least six grade levels below John F. Kennedy’s

1961 message.But here again,

readability formulas don’t tell you anything about a speaker’s ideas, and furthermore, even at a tenth grade level, Congress is still talking down Americans. We speak and write at between an eighth and a ninth grade level.

While some may lament the loss of the wonderful ornate phrases and classical allusions of the past, today’s members of Congress are no longer speaking for some dusty historical journal. They are spekling to their constituents, and they know their remarks are not going to be reported in any detail at all. Instead, in this television and YouTube age, short sound bites rule, and this causes them to speak more concisely and to use more common language. Otherwise, they might just be ridiculed.

So it could be that politicians, rather than getting less articulate, are really just being smarter and communicating more effectively by speaking and writing closer to the level used by their constituents.

Maybe they aren’t getting less sophisticated in their language so much as they’re learning to communicate better.

Even so, however, it is still not good to be at the bottom of such surveys, if for no other reason than that because people believe whatever they see or read on or in the news; already opposition candidates are taking pot shots at those with low scores on the test.

But they can’t do that with our congressman. Representative Fincher’s score, 12.7 was the highest in all the Tennessee delegation, senators, representatives and all, and a full two grades above the congressional average.

Not bad for a country boy from Frog Jump.

Memorial Day started very early for me as usual with the early morning Brownsville Radio broadcast. Following the broadcast, a Memorial Day Ceremony had been scheduled on the Haywood County Court House lawn at 11 a.m. with featured speaker U.S. Representative Stephen Fincher. It was a good break as we paused to remember our fallen heroes.

I came home after the Memorial Day Ceremony with plans for a relaxing afternoon. While it was another hot afternoon, I managed to fi nd a fairly cool spot on the patio with an occasional gentle breeze making its way through the pines.

The grandchildren were putting the fi nishing touches on the opening of the swimming pool with hopes of getting in an afternoon swim. They were constantly reminded by the adults shouting from a distant to watch out for snakes.

Their warnings reminded me that I was as close to the pool as I needed to be. Snakes are not among my favorite critters. In fact, I count myself among that list of folks who believe that the only good snake is a dead one. I’ve never

been able to get close enough to determine whether or not a snake is poisonous by the color of its skin or the stripes on its back or the streaks on its belly.

It must be some kind of phobia and sometimes our phobias can lead to crazy and irrational activity.

Several years back while living in Memphis, I remember an afternoon when a couple of our neighbors were terrorized by what appeared to be a snake.

They had been visiting with us for a while one afternoon. With darkness approaching, they took a shortcut home across our lawn which was only a couple of houses down the street.

Suddenly, one of the ladies yelled out, “Watch out for that snake.” By the time I arrived on the scene they were all over that snake using tree limbs and 2” by 4” timbers as weapons.

The snake refused to go down without a fi ght and the ladies quickly realized they would need a more potent weapon. One headed to a neighbor’s house and confi scated a garden hoe.

Meanwhile, the snake continued to weave back

and forth and lunge toward its attackers and I kept my distance while cheering the ladies on.

The lady with the tree limb realized she needed a more deadly weapon as well and ran to her place and came back with a “Paul Bunyan” type doubled edge ax. After demolishing about half of a perfectly well manicured Bermuda lawn with the ax, she fi nally succeeded in cutting the snake in half. Still, it refused to die and it continued to fl op around like a fi sh in water.

Completely frustrated by their failure to kill the snake, the two attackers backed away and just stood there in disbelief not knowing what to do next. I overheard one asking the other, “Does the blame thing have two heads?”

The young daughter of one of the attackers came running across the yard asking them what they were doing with her toy snake. It seems her grandmother had given her a funny snake made from rubber with ingredients that caused it to go in motion with any type of contact.

As it turned out, their phobia got the best of them.

Just another scary snake story

Aloha, Brownsville.You’re friendly

neighborhood States-Graphic reporter is back from his vacation. And while the nice guy in me would love to downplay just how good my trip to Maui last week was, and act as if it were no big deal.

I can’t lie.I thoroughly enjoyed it

for multiple reasons.For one, I got the

opportunity to see the beauty of the island, whether it was hanging around on the black sand beaches—and nearly getting blown away by the rough sea winds—or admiring the various plant and animal life unique to it.

Second, I got the opportunity to simply catch up on some personal reading. Of course, reading with beach in view every morning does help make that activity just a bit more special.

Last but not least, I got the chance to spend some time with my family. Even during the times where I’m sure I got on their nerves as much as they might have got on mine, I couldn’t have been prouder or

happier to have this special moment in my life with them. There are a lot of great memories and occasions packed into that week that I’m sure I’ll be talking about for the rest of my life.

Vacations or true vacations I think work when you get the opportunity to put your life in perspective. Last week, I got the chance to do that. I fi gured out the road I’d traveled to get to

the point I’m currently at in my life. And I think I have a road mapped out for the future. I know what I need to do.

I wish I could tell you more about my vacation, but there simply isn’t enough space in this column to talk about everything. Perhaps, I’ll continue next week.

Or if you catch me before then, ask me about it. I’ll gladly talk about it.

Oh So Laid Back

To “confess” Jesus in the biblical sense is not simply a matter of letting the words fl ow from your mouth. It is a confession of lips, heart, and life. It is an internal change of heart that takes place when God saves a person. He may stumble, he may sin, but the desire of his heart is Christ. This is a work that God does. I am not saying you should try harder or do better at loving Christ, I am saying that if you don’t then God has not done his work in your heart and you are still in your sins.Jesus said, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here.” John 8:42. If God is your Father, then Jesus is your Lord. It is just that simple. Who do you say that he is? Read the entire article at www.reclaimingvictory.com.

Holly Grove News

Hopefully Mrs. Gussie White Mask is settling down after a great Mother’s Day vacation after meeting up with sister, Sallie W. Fuller and niece, Michelle Fuller of E. Elmhurst, N.Y. , sister, Opra W. Jarrett of Nashville, along with her sister-in-law, Dorothy Jarrett in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. She stated that the island was beautiful with fi sh up in the pond; they encountered a lot of rain but no fl oods. They traveled to Savannah and enjoyed the land and water tones, and enjoyed dinner at Paula Deen’s Place, the food was great but not like the mother, grandmother in Haywood County food, southern cooking.

An interesting point of their land tour was the Wesley Monumental United Church built in home of John and Charles Wesley, the founder of United Methodism.

Since Dorothy loves to drive, they ended up one day in Anderson, South Carolina at the home of Wentford Fuller Sr., Michelle’s father, then back to Tybee Island. All

in all they had a wonderful and enjoyable trip. All praises to God for making it possible for her to go as planned.

Her nephew, Robert Gray, and wife, Debra, were visiting from Flushing, N.Y. and agreed to take care of Mr. Mask as he had recently been released from the hospital. She’s very thankful that everything worked out well.

We’re also happy to know that Laura Jorgensen has returned home after vacationing in Danville, IL with relatives. The Watkins-Archible grandchildren of Edward and the late Hattie Watkins, along with their parents enjoyed a family reunion on the weekend with Uncle Irving Archible and grandchildren from Chicago, IL in attendance also on Watkin’s Hill. They had many activities included.

Many family celebrations, graduations, class reunions and get-to-gethers were enjoyed for the holiday weekend.

Our community again extends it prayers of

sympathy to the families of Maurice H. Douglas, a very all around young man in the community, son of Betty and Calvin Douglas, husband of Debra and father to Damien and Alyce Douglas. He was always willing to help and share wherever he was needed, was a volunteer fi reman and on the Board of Directors and Trustee of the Concerned Citizens Organization. Many out of town relatives and friends were seen around the community for his service.

Our sick-shut-in still need our prayers; Callie Brooks, Callie Langford, Betty Brooks, Rev. Floyd Lewis, Joe B. Lewis, Jimmie L. Turner, Shirley Hunter, Edward Vaulx, Jr., Jackson Rice, Emma Miller, Willie Douglas, Mary N. Greer, Pastor Shirley Richmond, Gladys Bowles and Betty Douglas.

Congratulations to all of the 2012 graduates. While our children are out for the summer, we urge them to be careful, enjoy themselves and to be prepared for another school year coming up.

“Let us pray and work for peace.”This is our Thought for the Week as published in the Upper Room Devotional by Robert G. Wilkinson of Alabama.

In today’s world we need peace. God wants it for all of us. We need nations to reconcile and for the wars to cease. We also need it in our homes and peace in our hearts. Many are fi lled with guilt, fear and worry but we need not because Jesus, the Prince of Peace offers peace to all who will receive it.

The Haywood County Relay for Life is scheduled for Saturday, June 9. A reminder, this year there will be a change of venue as the event will be held around the court square. Hope to see you there. The opening ceremony will begin at 1p.m.

The South Hatchie District 3 Fire Department’s next meeting for the volunteers is set for June 5 at 7 p.m.

Congratulations to Bro. Butch Westover who celebrated 17 years as pastor of Harmony Baptist Church. The Harmony congregation has been very blessed to have Bro. Butch as their pastor.

Mt. Pleasant UMC and Bethlehem Baptist

Church of Whiteville will unite on Sunday, June 10 at 6 p.m. for a singing. Refreshments will follow.

There will be a Spaghetti Supper/Auction Benefi t at the Dancyville Community Center on Saturday, June 2 for Roscoe Martin beginning at 4 p.m. For more information or to make a donation, please contact Beverly Martin at 548-6114.

Travis, Krystle and I enjoyed spending Memorial Day at the home of my Aunt Nancy and Uncle Jimmy Swain in Somerville. Despite the heat we grilled and enjoyed visiting with Peggy Britton, my Mother, Olivia Watson, Doug Jones, my Uncle Prentice and Aunt Judy Elrod, and my cousin Amy Swain Gray and her husband Barry and their girls, Allie, Maggie and Carrie Beth. We had a great time.

Birthday wishes to

my Uncle Prentice Elrod who celebrates his 80th birthday on May 31, Dewayne Steele, Josh Cannon, Jimmy King and Timmy King. .

This week include Donald Haase, Bill Glover, Lillie Goodman, Jimmy and Nancy Swain, Nicole Ward, Leah Scallions, Marie Haase, Burt and Dorothy Martin, Roscoe Martin, Frank Fergie, Ronald Bruce, Anneli Myers, Enid Powell, Fletcher Lewis, Shirley Morgan, The Military, The Nation and the Community in your prayers.

Sympathy to the family of Mrs. Flossie Pugh, Mrs. Katie Taylor, Mr. Maurice Douglas and Mrs. Deborah Leavy in the loss of their loved one.

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

Until next week....God bless.

“The Secret to Abundance” was the subject of the message. We need to remind ourselves of how we have been blessed. God’s economy is different from ours; His is the economy of “generosity.” We are not to be tight-fi sted, but open-handed, for it’s more blessed to give than to receive. Why? The one who has to give was blessed by God and will receive more from Him. God warns, “How can the love of God abide in you if you see someone in need and fail to help?” We are to meet needs not wants. Borrowing should not be cultivated for it can bring poverty. We should be wise in our giving and our borrowing.

Prior to the message, Bro. Ralph Brown gave the history of the “Taps” It began in July of 1862 in the midst of the Civil War, when in that battle, 5000 had been killed and 20,000 wounded from the Union and Confederate armies. Between then and now, men and women have paid the ultimate price for our freedom. The taps consist of 4 notes played 24 times. Words from one verse goes like

this, Day is dawning, Gone is the sun, All is well, Safely Rest, God is Nigh. Lauren LaGrone did a terrifi c job playing the taps on the trumpet.

Belated birthday wishes to Brianna Jones, Sherry Vanstory, Bradley Booth, Lavern Haynes, Alexis Swain, Charlie Fisher and Heather Bolinger. Happy birthday to Mildred West, Cassis McCaslin, Gary Blair and Jason Pratt. Happy anniversary to Brother Fred and Nancy Campbell and Danny and Lavern Haynes.

The sick this week, who need our prayers are Patricia Simmons, Lloyd Taylor, Dewey Jones, Ruth Taylor, Bianka Kail, Betty Doyle and Leland Simpson. Others are Dorsey Watridge, Bland Boyd, Butch Wilsn, Annalee Myers, Velma Baker and Ashlyn Young. Also include Ray Lovelace, Amy Spotts and Ray and Janie Hight. We were glad to see that Viola Brown, Perry Watridge and Anna Smith were able to be at church.

The Climer family enjoyed a family reunion last Saturday at the family life center. Betty

Climer Henderson and her family were among those attending. Ricky and Kathy Hopper and family were among those attending the Hopper family reunion last Sunday at Scotts Hill.

We express our sympathy to the family of Mr. Willie Clark, who died in a farming accident.

A Memorial Day celebration was held Sunday afternoon at the church, beginning with a meal of grilled chicken and hotdogs and all of the trimmings. Thanks to David Tindle for enduring the 90 plus degrees of weather to do the grilling. The meal was followed by Brother Fred Campbell bringing a sermon on the mount under tents. Ball games followed, fi rst between the children and then between the youth and adults. Water and lemonade were on hand for everyone.

Next Sunday will be a Cemetery Day with Rev. Frank Kemper bringing the message. Join us for the service and the meal to follow. The offering will go for the cemetery.

Spring and summer are so much fun! New beginnings are rampant with graduations from high schools and colleges and all the many weddings that will join two lives together. It is a very happy time. Enjoy your time and remember “Life is God’s novel. Let Him write it.”

We had a great service at Allen on Sunday. Mary Jane Williams sang the special music, and it was beautiful.

I hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend. We are so thankful for all of the men and women in the military, past and present, and we honor the ones who gave their all. My sweet daddy was so proud to have served his country in Europe during World War II. He died on Memorial Day in 1995. I love and miss him.

If you would like to make a contribution for supplies for our mission trip, I have a list of supplies needed. Our church group will be going to Tahlequah, Oklahoma to work with the Cherokee nation in June. This is such a worth-while cause, and they need all the help that we can give them.

Call me for a supply list or to make a monetary contribution.

Mark your calendars for Vacation Bible School, which will be held June 11-15.

Congratulations to my beautiful granddaughter who graduated from Wellesley College on May 25. She has the most adorable apartment in Boston where she will work in research at Massachusetts General Hospital while preparing for medical school. We are so proud of her.

My son, Jason, his wife, Amber and Julian had a great trip to Boston for Krista’s graduation festivities. They stopped in Maryland on the way home to spend time with friends on Chesapeake Bay.

C o n g r a t u l a t i o n s to all of the other 2012 graduates from the area. Those from Allen are Dalton Byrd, AliJarrett Campbell, Hunter Coulston, Caleb Kendrick, Chris Swain, Grant Taylor and Jackie Whiteley. We are so proud of all of you and congratulate you on your accomplishments.

Happy Birthday to Jimmy Leath, Christian Leath, Anna Jackson, Suzanne Bushart, Mary

Ann Reece and Leslie Essary.

Happy Anniversary to Roger and Joan Byrd and Renee and Brandon Cox.

We extend our sympathy to Tina Martin and her family in the loss of her mother. Our thoughts and prayers are with this sweet family.

Continue to remember my sister Patsy Warren, Jennifer Warren Bowers, Lori Warren and children and Willis Warren in the loss of their son, husband, daddy and brother in the loss of my nephew, Duke Warren. He will never be forgotten.

Others on our prayer list are Ansley Cox, Marcia Townsend (Ms. Betty Dedmon’s niece), Patrick Francis, Sonny Bishop, Charley West, Martha Rodgers, Josephine Willis, Willis Warren, Ernest Lytle, Peggy Canady and Carolyn Danley.

Our Bible verse for this week is Psalm 111:24, which states, “This is the day the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

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

Have a great week!

There are some events taking place in June that we need to remember. On June 9, Jackson Center for Independent Living will hold their Annual Fishing Rodeo on O’neal Lake in Brownsville. This is a free event and O’neal Lake is wheelchair accessible. This year’s rodeo will last from 8 a.m. to 12 noon. Bro. Paul Phillips delivered his last sermon at Bethel Community Church last

Sunday. Afterwards a potluck meal was enjoyed by Bro. Paul and members. We all wish Bro. Paul many more years of retirement. I have several friends that are having health problems. Joann McBroom will be having surgery on her lung this Thursday. Dell Hopkins fell and broke her arm in three places. Opal Russell Oliver has problems with her blood pressure and my friends, Sonny and Sandi

Bishop, are having medical problems. Sonny spent last weekend at Haywood Park Hospital but I hope is home now. We are all getting older and falling apart. Let’s wish everyone a speedy recovery.

Thought for the week: For every minute you are angry, you lose 60 seconds of happiness.

Stanton NewsWell I’m afraid I have

a bit of bad news for you all this week. I regret to inform you all that I will no longer be writing the Stanton news column and will be passing the torch on to someone else. At this point I’m not sure who that person will be. There are some great people in Stanton!

Circumstances beyond my control have taken me back to Arkansas and I

will no longer be around on a daily basis to gather the news. However, I will be back in Stanton from time to time as I have unfi nished projects to complete and many good friends to visit.

As long as I am able I will continue to help researchers fi nd their Haywood County family connections, and do as many cemetery projects as possible. I will for

certain be back to fi nish up Choadie Cemetery.

Thanks to all of you for your continued support and comments throughout these past four years; there were times your kind words really kept me going.

My fi les say I’ve been writing this column since 2008 and we’ve visited the past, the present and the future as we intended.

Excellent, fantastically superb job! Thank you for your awesome love for our community!

Our very own Helen Turner from Helen’s BBQ had her picture in the new Southern Living’s feature on BBQ! Everyone knows Helen’s BBQ could stand up to anyone’s! Wow! What an honor! Kudos to Helen’s BBQ!

Wellwood/Zion News“Christians at war with

each other cannot be at peace with their heavenly Father.”

I hope everyone enjoyed their Memorial Day as much as we did. We spent Thursday through Saturday with the Rainey’s in Murfreesboro and Sunday through Tuesday with our sons and their families in Bull Shoals, Arkansas. Just couldn’t seem to get them all together this year with confl icting ball schedules, but we had a great time with each family!

Since we weren’t home, I’m not sure how the Memorial Day services were at Zion, but I’m sure they had lots of good food and fellowship. Mama (Alice Elrod) stopped by before church to wish us well and visit with the kids before we left.

Sarah Conway has returned to Texas for a short time, but will be back for Hannah’s graduation / piano recital Saturday night. She was here to celebrate with David for his graduation from Union and enjoyed spending time with her mom for Mother’s Day. Everyone enjoyed seeing her at Zion while she visited.

Belinda Potter and

her granddaughter ZannaLee stopped by Monday night on their way from Walmart. She said she needed to boil a pacifi er, but I know she heard I had spaghetti and peach cobbler for supper! Anyway, we enjoyed the visit.

Mama came over Tuesday night, but I attended the eighth grade promotion ceremony at Haywood Jr. High School. Although I missed Mason and Lillie’s ballgames, I did get to visit with her while Jimmy prepared supper for us.

Students were out of school Wednesday so we enjoyed a cookout and a retirement party for three dear friends leaving the education fi eld. Several of us also enjoyed traveling over to Sunny Hill one last time to say goodbye to the “family” and school as we know it.

I don’t know what happened, but Allen Outlaw reported only four attended the men’s prayer breakfast with Brother Tim McPherson from Poplar Corner leading the devotion. If anyone would like to join this faithful group of men, they meet Thursday mornings at 6:00 in Zion’s family life center.

We enjoyed a short visit from Earnest and Kay Kirkland Thursday after school was out. When they were getting ready to leave, we fl agged down Jacob Ellington as he drove by and I fi nally got his wedding shower gift to him. He and Lauren Perry will marry soon.

Zion will kick-off VBS May 30th followed by a week of VBS June 4th -8th from 9:00 A.M to Noon daily.

Although the doctors had to do more than was expected with Timmy Barnes’ surgery, he is home and seems to be doing well. He said after two weeks he should be able to do anything he wants. I’m not sure about Kevin Baggett, but I’m sure both could use your prayers as well as Michael Johnson and his family in the loss of his father.

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!

Bethel - Belle Eagle NewsThere are some events

taking place in June that we need to remember. On June 9, Jackson Center for Independent Living will hold their Annual Fishing Rodeo on O’neal Lake in Brownsville. This is a free event and O’neal Lake is wheelchair accessible. This year’s rodeo will last from 8 a.m. till noon.

Bro. Paul Phillips delivered his last sermon at Bethel Community

Church last Sunday. Afterwards a potluck meal was enjoyed by Bro. Paul and members. We all wish Bro. Paul many more years of retirement.

I have several friends that are having health problems. Joann McBroom will be having surgery on her lung this Thursday. Dell Hopkins fell and broke her arm in three places. Opal Russell Oliver has problems

with her blood pressure and my friends, Sonny and Sandi Bishop, are having medical problems. Sonny spent last weekend at Haywood Park Hospital but I hope is home now. We are all getting older and falling apart. Let’s wish everyone a speedy recovery.

Thought for the week: For every minute you are angry, you lose 60 seconds of happiness.

Crestview NewsWe continued to have

a very exciting and fun week of activities. On Monday night, two of our residents, Mrs. Molly Lott and Mr. William Batchelor, were selected to compete in the Golden Beauty Review, at Jackson Meadows in Jackson. We are happy to announce that Mrs. Molly Lott won Best Personality and Mr. William Batchelor was crowned “King.” They both received trophies.

We were all excited for them. Congratulations were heard throughout the halls, as they arrived home that night. We are all so proud of them.

On Thursday, we took over forty residents on a picnic next door at First Assembly of God Church pavilion. The weather was beautiful!

We had a variety of cold cut sandwiches, chips, ice cold lemonade and delicious cookies

for dessert. They all had a great time! We would like to thank Pastor Gary Mitchell for allowing us to share the church pavilion with our residents. They truly loved it.

We just cannot say enough good things about the picnic and just how wonderful it was for all of us.

Thank you volunteers for coming this week: Christ Temple ladies, Assembly of God ladies, Holly Grove Baptist Church, United Pentecostal Church, Westside Church of Christ, Mrs. Mary Barkens and Bingo ladies.

We extend sympathy to the family of Mrs. Flossie Pugh. She is truly missed.

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

We welcome Mrs. Edna Sullivan to our facility and hope she enjoys her stay with us.

Our Monthly birthday party for June will be June 7, at 2:00. The following residents will be celebrating a birthday in June.

Mr. Pete Boyd 6/1, Mrs. Josephine Jones 6/2, Mrs. June Perry 6/5, Mrs. Pearl Gray 6/6, Mrs. Mammie Smith 6/20, Mrs. Janie Gilliand 6/23, Mrs. Carolyn Crockett 6/27, Mrs. Iolla Love 6/27, and Mr. James Bell 6/30

Thank you to Westside Church of Christ members for all of the snack crackers they brought and delivered to each patient’s room last Monday night.

Thought for the week: A friend is one who remembers your birthday but not which birthday it is.

One of the ways to compensate for increased air conditioning use is to cut down on using other appliances. Only use the dishwasher when it is fully loaded with dishes, silverware, pots and pans. Using a half loaded dishwasher is a waste of energy and water. If you only have a few dishes to wash, try doing them by hand. It may seem old fashioned but it can save you money. One thing we always try to do at our house is to wash large pots and pans by hand and never put them in the dishwasher since they take up so much room and it keeps the pots and pans from wearing down for a longer period of time.

Skip or cut down on the dishwasher.

Several Haywood High School athletes made the trip to Murfreesboro last week to take part in the BlueCross Spring Fling.

While no one brought home a state championship, valuable experience was earned.

“I was proud of the girls,” said Haywood track coach David Claybrooks III, whose team qualifi ed for four events. “We made it out of the west sectionals and on to state. That’s a big deal. Not very many people get to say they made it to state.”

Haywood sophomore Mary C. Sharpe competed in the Class A-AA state tennis tournament on Thursday.

She lost in the quarterfi nals to Murfreesboro Central’s Carly Hatcliff 6-0, 6-0, but coach Stark Davis said the match was closer than the scored indicated.

“It was a great experience for her,” Davis said about Sharpe, who went 15-2 this season. “She fi nished in the top eight in the state. It was a thrill to have someone up there.”

Senior Chelsey Owens qualifi ed for the high

jump and long jump. She fi nished eighth in the long jump on Thursday with a leap of 13-06.75.

Haywood’s 4x200 team (1:48.96) of Ebony Clark, Natasha Bommer, Alexis Peeples and Owens took seventh.

The 4x400 team of junior Chelsi Jones, Bommer, Peeples and Clark took eighth with a time of 4:16.52.

“I knew the competition was going to be tough,” Claybrooks said. “It was about what I expected … Those who had been there before had the attitude of been there, done that. Our starters were a little nervous ... I’m proud of these ladies. They worked hard all season to get this far. None of these runners have ever been to the state before so I know it was a tremendous experience for them.”

Patsy Jameson, Dannon Eubanks, Eliza Ford and Kayla Shaw made the trip to state as alternates.

Claybrooks said he was happy overall with how his team did, as well as other spring sports at Haywood.

“I like that all the minor sports at Haywood did so well,” he said. “I think that will really help the community.”

Claybrooks said his returning athletes are already talking about next season.

“I had several athletes telling me how we need to stay disciplined for next year,” Claybrooks said. “I’ve been coaching for a while and I’ve never had kids say that before.”

Claybrooks said he wanted to thank the team’s 10 seniors - Chris Douglas, Daniel Evans, Trinity Jackson, Ashauna Jeter, Josh Johnson, Chris Swain, Prince Williams, R.J. Perkins, Peeples and Owens - for their hard work and dedication throughout the season.

“Several of the coaches in our region stopped me at the State Meet to congratulate the coaching staff and team on a wonderful season,” Claybrooks said. “To me, that means a lot because other schools are paying attention to how well your team did this season. It also shows people what these student-athletes did this year ... At the beginning of the season no one on this track team was getting recruited by colleges or universities. As of today, there are three student-athletes who are fi nalizing their college application and

paper work so they can continue their academic career as student-athletes at the college level. That speaks volume about the success this team had this year. It also tells you how hard these student-athletes worked in the classroom, weight room and on the track ... I want to thank assistant coach Dave Rogers for his support, dedication and hard work. He did a lot of behind scene work this year to make sure everything was in order and ready to go for

practices and track meets. Thanks to the teachers

and community for their support this year.”
