Haywood County Commissioners held their monthly meeting Monday, March 19. Haywood County Mayor Franklin Smith was not present at the meeting due to illness. Commissioner Allen King served to lead on the evening’s meeting.

Among the items passed by commissioners was the approval of the sale of 70.36 acres of the county farm to Billy Joyner. The county budget committee accepted Joyner’s bid of $176,604 for the acres last week. King noted that the money from the property sale will go directly to the county debt service, as does any county property sale. The area being sold is not the same area originally proposed for the past meat-packing plant deal that never finalized.

County commissioners also approved a resolution that will continue to have the county repay USDA loans for the county water system. The Haywood County Utility District will completely reimburse the county for the loan payments. Haywood County Attorney Michael Banks explained that this payment arrangement has gone on since 1997. Yet with the coming of the megasite, the State Comptroller wanted to make sure that the county would put the agreement “in writing.”

During reports of the standing committee, Education Committee Chair Richard Jameson and Haywood County Schools Superintendent Dr. Marlon King talked about news concerning Haywood County Schools. The current renovations of the high school are scheduled for completion in October of this year.

The superintendent also noted the fate of the Sunny Hill School building following the move of six graders to Haywood Junior High School. Sunny Hill will become an interactive learning center, housing many services—Multi-Handicap, Adult Education and REACH—that are currently at the same area as the board


A few accidents on the interstate last Tuesday left slow flowing traffic and a vehicle on fire.

According to a report

from the Brownsville Haywood County Fire Department, last Tuesday March 13, authorities responded to a wreck on Interstate-40 East. Authorities found a 2006 Mini Cooper in the median.

The vehicle ran into the rear of a semi-truck, rolled into the median and caught fire.

The driver of the vehicle, Bill Byrum of Forrest City, Arkansas was not injured. The truck was a Wagoner

Transport truck. The car was described as a total loss.

Meanwhile, traffic on I-40 East was still slowed due to a previous cargo spill that was in the process of being cleaned up.

It was a packed crowd for the 2012 Haywood County Soil Conservation District Annual Affiliate Member Banquet last week. The program, which took place at the Delta Room, brought together those who have dedicated themselves to promoting the wise treatment of all land and resources, Established in 1942, the Haywood County Soil

Conservation District includes the entire county, comprising 527 square miles or 337,235 acres.

The conservation district had a pretty strong 2011. Some of their highlights included giving away 2,900 trees to 67 residents on the courthouse lawn for Arbor Day. The district also purchased 100 bags of a quarter acre deer and turkey food plot mixes and gave those away for free to 50 Haywood County landowners last October.

And the district even administered a Tennessee Department of Agriculture special cost share project to reduce non-point source water pollution in Meridian Creek and Cypress Creek watersheds. Because of this, land users in those areas received $33,769 in cost share assistance to apply for four acres of grassed waterways, 8250 feet of terraces, 15 grade control structures, 5810 feet of interior fencing and one cattle watering system.

After a welcome and remarks from c o n s e r v a t i o n district chairman

Richard Jameson, the banquet heard a special presentation from guest speaker Dr. Ben West, the Western Region Director for UT Extension, who gave a report on feral pigs in the U.S.

After his presentation, the big moment came to award the 2011 J.B. McAdams Conservationist of the Year. This year’s recipients were Keith and Steve Sullivan. The Sullivans have nearly

two thousand acres of cropland, of which cotton, corn, soybeans and wheat crops are dominantly no tilled to reduce erosion and improve water quality. 16 miles of terraces and diversions and seven acres of grassed waterways have been implemented and maintained on their land for year. The Sullivans also practice contour farming and crop rotations, and have managed to reduce erosion on cropland to below soil loss tolerance levels.

But their services also extend to helping out others. The Sullivans have assisted other landowners in enrolling approximately 65 acres of marginal cropland in the Conservation Reserve Program. They’ve planted these acres in trees and grasses.

The Sullivans also manage and help maintain approximately three thousand acres of woodland for timber and wildlife benefits.

With everything that they’ve accomplished and managed to do for Haywood County, it’s no wonder why the Sullivans were awarded the 2011 J.B. McAdams Conservationist of the year.

March is National Nutrition Month. This is a month dedicated to educating the public about the importance of making good food choices and being physically active. This year’s theme is “Get Your Plate in Shape. Eat Right.” Locally, the UT/TSU Extension Office partnered with Cindy Wilkins, Public Health Educator, to sponsor activities at the Haywood County Boys and Girls Club focused on “MyPlate”- the USDA’s graphic that illustrates how we should eat.

March 8, 2012 was designated as “What’s On My Plate?” Day across the nation. At the Boys and Girls Club, the students learned how to create a healthy plate: one half filled with vegetables and fruits and the other half for whole grains and lean protein foods. Each section of MyPlate is color-coded to correspond with the food group that belongs in that section. After their lesson from Ms. Wilkins, the students received blank MyPlate graphics and added the correct colors in each section.

This was an activity conducted as part of the Tennessee Nutrition and Consumer Education

Program (TNCEP), a program that teaches Tennessee’s SNAP recipients and SNAP-eligible families how to choose and prepare healthy foods. Students in the Haywood County School system participate in a number of events and programs that promote healthy eating and active living. The latest is an art contest in honor of National Public Health Week, which is April 2-8, 2012. Students in Pre-K through grade 4 will be provided with an entry form and invited to draw a picture to go with this slogan: “A Healthier America Begins Today. Join the Movement!” The completed pictures should be returned to either Family Resource Center location before 3:00 pm on March 23. One winner will be chosen from each grade, and winners will be announced during National Public Health Week. This contest is presented in partnership with Coordinated School Health and the Haywood County Health Department.

For more information on healthy eating, visit www.myplate.gov, or contact the local Extension Office at (731) 772-2861. To learn more about National Public Health Week, visit www.nphw.org.

Boys and Girls Club youth show off their “MyPlate” creations as they learn about healthy eating. L to R (front row): Iverson Hines, Briannica Taylor, D-Kylan Genesy L to R (back row): Chasity Hill, Ashareyah Franklin, Shamarion Jones.

Some would probably call a lunch of the area first ladies and gentlemen.

The spouses of West Tennessee Legislatures met last Monday, March 12 at Lillie’s Bed And Breakfast for a special

Women’s Luncheon. Christy Haslam, the wife of Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam, hosted the event. Haslam wanted to simply provide an opportunity for the spouses to meet and

network, and luckily chose Brownsville as the prime location for West Tennessee. Recently she did a similar meeting event for those in Middle and East Tennessee.Photo By Calvin Carter

United States Department Of Justice Drug Enforcement A d m i n i s t r a t i o n Resident Agent In Charge Brian Chambers, center, recently awarded Haywood County Sheriff Melvin Bond

with a plaque for his department’s involvement in the West Tennessee drug bust that took place earlier this year.

“The help of the sheriff was a great asset to this operation,” Chambers said.

“It’s not an I thing, this is a team effort. We work together to be a deterrence to any type of crime,” the sheriff said.

of education. The Sunny Hill building will also house STEM, a science and math type focused program that will coincide with the study of solar technology. In addition, the building will also serve as an alternative school for students and a site for summer school.

The proposed bidding meeting for inmate healthcare that was supposed to take place March 7 was cancelled. Jail Committee Chair Chris Lea said that the meeting was postponed due to Mayor Smith receiving a call of interest from another potential healthcare provider that wants to bid. This brings the total to four

or five potential bidders Lea said. A date has not been finalized yet, but Lea said that he hopes to have a recommended bid presented to commissioner

by the May meeting. The jail is still receiving inmate healthcare from Conmed, through a type of month-to-month contract.

Off the Beaten Path

Lost in Cyberspace

Why or Why not?

By now, just about everybody has heard about the corrections officer out west who is facing bigamy charges due to the fact that his first wife discovered his “remarriage” when Facebook, the social networking site, suggested to her that she might want to “connect” with wife number two under the site’s “People You May Know” feature. When she went to number two’s page, she saw a picture of her husband, his new bride and a wedding cake.

This is just one of hundreds of examples of someone getting into trouble for something inappropriate, even though perhaps truthful, that he or she has posted on the Internet.

In personal conversations, people are circumspect about what they disclose to others about their families, jobs and friends, but when they start typing into the face of a computer screen, they often say things that are jaw droppingly inappropriate.

Or even worse, they post pictures guaranteed to cause them trouble, sometimes even with the law, when they land on the screens of the wrong people.

And guess what — sooner or later they will, because the Internet is forever. Nothing, but nothing sent into cyberspace ever really goes away.

Are these people crazy? Was the woman who was having an affair drunk when she posted pictures of her and her lover’s weekend in Chicago on her Facebook page? Had the man who was suing his employer for workers’ compensation for a back injury lost his mind when he posted the photo of himself bench pressing 300 pounds on his page?

No. Both were ordinary, otherwise intelligent people who are perfect examples of something known as the “online disinhibition effect”, a term coined a few years ago to describe the tendency of the human brain to feel less constrained, sometimes extremely so, in online communication than it would be in face-to-face or telephone conversations.

You may have never heard the term before, but if you’ve done much communicating on the Internet at all, you’ve surely seen examples of it. We all, it seems, have looser tongues at the keyboard than we would

if we were looking the person, or persons, we are talking to in the eye.

For some people this manifests itself in flirtatious statements of affection that go far beyond what the writer would have ever said personally or publicly. For others it comes out as outrageously rude or crude statements the person would be ashamed to have widely disseminated.

What’s going on here? Why do we tell computer screens things we would never say personally, even to our friends and loved ones?

One reason is that the computer screen doesn’t give us any visual cues that we are about to say too much, that we are veering into prohibited territory. It never raises its eyebrow or grimaces or registers any sort of disapproval at all when we go too far. It gives us no social or emotional signals to guide our statements, so we are much more likely to say far too much, too strongly, than we would in a real conversation.

Add to that something known as “asynchronicity.” Internet conversations don’t happen in real time. I can say something tonight, log off and not hear back from my fellow conversant until tomorrow, or even next week if I wish. If the reaction is unpleasant, I can ignore it.

Then, and this is really dangerous, there is what psychologists call “solipsistic introjection.” That’s a fancy term that means that, lacking any kind of visual cues regarding your message to me, I will assign nuances to your statements according to my own personal desires, needs

and wishes.Not good.Ever notice those insane,

sometimes obscene or racist comments people sometimes post in response to newspaper articles? They feel safe doing so because of something called dissociative anonymity. Nobody knows who they are; they’re invisible. Thus, they can be as hateful in print as they are in their hearts.

After a while, heavy Internet communicators may even come to believe that at some level the Internet is an alternative universe for them, a place where none of the cumbersome social and moral rules of society need constrict them. There they can be whomever they choose and do whatever they want.

So, away from authority, social convention and conformity, they say, and do, all sorts of outrageous things, often throwing responsibility out the window as they do.

But here’s the problem. There are darned good reasons society developed those social and moral values the Internet undermines. They allow us to live together and help us maintain our jobs, families and relationships, all of which are enormously more important and valuable than any satisfaction someone might get from a computer screen.

So watch what you write in cyberspace, and be mindful of this also — it never, ever goes away. The police can dig it out if they need to, and so can your wife’s divorce lawyer or a potential employer.

Be careful what you say.

Some traditions in society may need to be re-evaluated, while some may be deeply rooted with nothing more than superstition. A case for re-evaluation could gain support regarding a longstanding tradition that involved the preparation for cooking of meats such as ham and shoulders. I also remember the times when my mother would cut of either or both ends of the hams or shoulders before placing them in the baking pan. I don’t remember ever asking her why that was necessary, but there are some stories regarding how this tradition started.

Supposedly, a young daughter was watching her mother preparing a ham to bake for the evening meal and noticed that her mother continued the practice of cutting of a tip from each end of the ham. She eventually asked her mother why she cut the ends of the ham and her mother’s only reply was that was what her mother always did. So the daughter approached the grandmother and asked her why she always cut each ends off of a ham before she baked it. The

grandmother explained that baking pans were shorter in those days and the ham would not fit into the pan. So she took a knife and trimmed a little from each end until the ham fit properly into the pan. The daughter couldn’t help but think about how much unnecessary time and meat were sacrificed through all these many years for no reason at all.

There are some traditions that are currently fueled more by superstition than fact. Since I have two grandchildren who are lefthanders, I recall how left-handed children were treated for ages. For thousands of years, the devil was associated with the left-handed population. He is normally portrayed as being left-handed. In the Seventeenth Century, it was thought that the devil baptized his followers with his left hand. In France, it was held that witches greeted Satan, “avec le bras gauche” or with the left hand.

Here, are just some of the superstitions surrounding the word, “left.” One can ward off evil spirits by throwing salt over the left shoulder. Expect things to turn bad if you

get out of bed with the left foot first. Beware of getting out on the wrong side of the bed. A ringing in the right ear means that someone is praising you; a ringing in the left ear means that someone is cursing you or maligning you. An itching right palm means that you will receive money; an itching left palm means that you will have to pay money. Do you ever wonder why we wear our wedding bands on the third finger of the left hand? According to some historians, the idea originated with the Greeks and Romans who wore them to ward off evil associated with the left hand. When leaving on a journey, if your right foot itches, you’ll have a good journey; if your left foot itches, look out! If your right eye itches, you’ll see a friend. But if your left eye should itch be very careful and be prepared for a bad or difficult journey. These stories remind us that change is not a bad word. Sometimes, it seems, that even the best of traditions may need to be revisited to determine whether or not they have lived out their purpose and benefits.

Early April seems to be the deadline that the Haywood County Budget Committee is aiming for when receiving department budgets. It would serve as an earlier date compared to when the committee started receiving any budgets. And considering the headache they were dealt with last fiscal year, who could blame them for wanting to get things done as early as possible?

In it’s own way, I still think what happened with the county budget was a great moment for Haywood County. For one, it was a sobering wake-up to commissioners and county departments just how imperative it is get the ball rolling on this winding and confusing item. And two, last year’s affair with the budget sparked an unexpected immense amount of community involvement.

Since last year, the increased number of attendees to these county meetings

has remained fairly consistent.

No, not every meeting contains a filled seat. But the number of times I’ve witnessed a crowd at these particular meetings has increased. Community interest has even sparked a few local “watchdog” organizations to form. And I’m sure their eyes will be glued to the county come next month.

I know. It seems that the county has only had a few short moments to breathe. And the pressure they may have felt when they finally voted on a

budget has never really left, however, this could still become regarded as good thing.

The current general fund section of the budget remains over $200,000 under budget. This would suggest that the county and the departments so far have kept a careful eye on dollars and cents.

Will this tide over to plans for the next budget? Ultimately we’ll all have to wait and see, but if their current work has shown anything, it’s that the chances for success are pretty high.

It’s time to spruce up your yard before the growing season gets in full swing.

“March’s fickle weather makes it impossible to set schedules for planting, but many tasks need tackling before spring is in full swing,” said Susan Hamilton, Director of the University of Tennessee Gardens and an Associate Professor in the UT Department of Plant Sciences. She recommends the following tips for spring yard management:

“Begin by repairing damaged areas of the lawn by de-thatching, raking or aerating. You should also apply dolomite lime to sweeten the soil if needed,” Hamilton said. “Most lawns will need a spring feeding, but if thatching or liming needs to be done, do those jobs first. If moss is a problem, you can apply a combination of fertilizer and moss killer in one application.” Hamilton says over-seeding should be done after the lawn has been fertilized.

Apply a combination of slow-release fertilizer and pre-emergent herbicide for crabgrass control before dandelions reach the puffball stage. The

fertilizer will boost the growth of your lawn and have it looking great for spring. “Numerous brands are on the market, and whichever you select, be sure to follow label directions. Remember not to apply pre-emergent herbicides to newly seeded areas,” she said.

Hamilton recommends home gardeners transplant shrubs, trees and hardy vines before the weather stays consistently warm and that acid-type fertilizers be applied to evergreens, conifers, broad leaf evergreens, rhododendrons, azaleas and camellias. “All-purpose fertilizers should be used to feed roses and other deciduous trees and

shrubs,” Hamilton said, ”but be sure to prune bushes and roses and spray roses for blacks pot. Severe pruning results in long-stemmed flowers and more compact bushes – a plus for any yard.”

Finally, the expert in outdoor spaces notes that gardeners should fill in low spots or areas of the landscape that do not drain well, or at the very least scoop out a channel for the water to drain away. “Also, while it’s often not as fun as planting, take time now to repair any fencing, arbors or trellises that are weak or have been broken over the winter. Before you know it, you’ll be too busy!” Hamilton said.

Experience the beauty of both Moscow and St. Petersburg, where Nonna Lisowakaja Bannister’s family lived until Stalin and Hitler changed her life forever. A Holocaust survivor, Nonna came to America in 1950. This is where the book ends... but Carolyn knows the rest of the story. You’ll hear how Nonna kept her secret for over 45 years from her family. What made her finally share her Holocaust memories. And the message she hopes listeners and readers will follow. From recent travels in Russia, Carolyn transports

you back to “ole Mother Russia” and a time when Nicholas II, the last Czar, was emperor. It’s an entertaining and educational program for students and families to experience together. The Friends is very excited about being able to share this program with you. Please consider making a contribution to the Friends Organization this year. Reservations are required. Make your contributions/reservations today.

The Friends of the Elma Ross Public Library is a wonderful group of people who support the library in its programming and fundraising efforts. Friends Memberships are up for renewal right now.

The Elma Ross Public Library wishes to thank all the Friends Members who have given their time and treasure over the years. Please consider renewing your Friends Membership

(if you are a current Friends Member) or make a donation and become a new Friends Member. In today’s troubled economy, people rely more on the public library to improve their earning and living skills and assistance in seeking employment as well as taking advantage of all the books and other media that can be checked out for free. The library is an integral part of the community and the Friends Organization is vital to the library. All membership donations make a difference. Thank you.

Don’t forget – Lunch and Learn is coming on Wednesday, March 28 at noon in the library meeting room. Our guest presenter is Mrs. Serenia Small-Bonds, who will be presenting a Women’s history Program. Please remember to bring a lunch, the library provides drinks and dessert. Let’s Lunch and Learn at the Library on March 28.

Happy Reading!

In Memory of Kay TaliaferroGod's Garden Must be Beautiful

God looked around the garden,And found an empty space.

He looked down upon the earth,And saw your tired face.

He put His arms around you,And lifted you to rest.

God's garden must be beautiful,For He only takes the best.

He knew that you were weary,And He knew you were in pain.He knew that you would never,

Be well on earth again.He saw the roads were getting rough,

And the hills were hard to climb.So he closed your weary eyelids,

And whispered, "Peace be Thine."

The Ninth Review Club held their March meeting on March 6 at the home of Suzanne Wallace. Club president Margie Hooper called the meeting to order, and discussions regarding our end-of-the-year meeting/luncheon were the topic of conversation. Sheri Richards was in

charge of the program for the evening, and she had club member Pam Russell show films of her recent trip to Africa. She also had many interesting articles that she had brought back with her, and we all enjoyed seeing these and hearing pertinent information about them. The program was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone, and we

thank Pam for sharing this fantastic trip with us.

After the program, we were served delicious caramel brownies and homemade peanut brittle made by Mary Ann Pennel.

Following refreshments, we left, looking forward to our next meeting on April 3, at the home of Nan Downing.

Weekly DevotionalIn Luke 7:1-10, we have a familiar story of a Roman centurion who desired Jesus to heal his servant.

Jewish elders came to Jesus claiming that the centurion was worthy of Jesus’ attention because he had loved Israel and built a synagogue for the town. In fact, they even used the words, “He is worthy.” This is how many of us see the blessings of God. Since we are good people who go to church and pray regularly, we feel “worthy” of God’s mercy.

The centurion sent messengers to stop Jesus, telling him this is not what the centurion was thinking. He said, “Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. Therefore I did not presume to come to you.” He recognized Jesus’ authority over creation and asked that he would only speak the word so his servant would be healed. Jesus praised the centurion, not because of his worth, but his faith.

Thank you volunteers for coming this week: Christ Temple ladies, IMT C.N. Ricks, St. John’s Baptist Church, First Assembly of God Church ladies, Faith Deliverance ladies, Mrs. Ann Nuckolls, Bingo ladies and Mrs. Gennett Rogers.

We welcome Mr. Frank Ferge to our facility and hope he enjoys his stay with us.

Wow! We certainly

have had some beautiful weather lately. Some of our patients have enjoyed sitting outside. It’s hard to believe spring is here. Officially, spring began March 20.

We will probably start taking our patients on lunch outings starting next month. They always enjoy going on outings.

The next two Saturdays – March 24 and March 31, we will have two musical

performers: The Pardners from Mississippi will be performing at 10 a.m. on March 24. Then on March 31, James Allen Clark will be performing at 2 p.m. He is from Nashville.

Our sympathy goes to the family of Mr. L.T. Sinclair. He will truly be missed.

Thought for the Week: “A laugh a day puts wrinkles in the right places.”

If you missed Zion Baptist Church Sunday, then you missed a real treat. (I’m not talking about missing breakfast.) Interim Pastor Mark McSwain did an awesome job using I Corinthians 3:5-7 as his main text. His job is to prepare Zion for whoever is called as pastor. He wants to lead Zion to continue to be a “Kingdom- focused church”!

Following the second service the children, (Miss Norma’s SS class) served their parents and prayer pals lunch in the FLC. Brother McSwain and his lovely wife Dottie were special guests.

He continued Sunday night with Matthew 16 and various other passages to focus on, “His Kingdom never ends.” He also gave his phone number to the members present, so if you weren’t there, please give one of our deacons a call and they will be happy to pass it on.

Brother Mark (this seems strange) led our Wednesday night prayer meeting and mid-week devotion. He said we need to rejoice and learn from

the past, but desire to move forward. He used various Scripture passages to focus on kingdom growth vs. church growth. He also said that no fellowship should be without sausage balls and Rotel dip! I think he was hinting.

Allen Outlaw reported 14 attended the prayer breakfast and Brother Butch Westover led the devotion. If anyone would like to join this faithful group of men, they meet every Thursday morning at six in Zion’s family life center.

Congratulations to Cody Baggett who was voted class representative of the ROTC at their military ball Saturday night. Cody will graduate from HHS in May and everyone at Zion loves him and wishes him the best.

If anyone has suggestions for the Mark Conway Memorial Scholarship fund let me know. We are in the process of finalizing the plans to be brought before the executive board at HBA. Please be praying about any part you or your Church would play in this role.

While I am asking for suggestions, if anyone would attend the Associational VBS Clinic if it were on a different day, please call or email me. Our clinic was held Saturday at Somerville First Baptist, but our attendance was lower this year than ever. I know some spring breaks and church camps interfered, but if another day would be better, please contact me as we begin planning for next year.

Don’t forget! Bridal shower for Rachel Morgan – March 29. March Madness @ Zion-31 (fundraiser for youth mission trip). Spring Revival - April 15 -18 with Brother Dale Rose and Terry Owen. Church Bible Drills - April 11 with Associational Drills - 15, followed by state and regional drills on the 28.

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

“Today I will listen with my heart.” This is our Thought for the Week as published in the Upper Room Devotional by Dan Johnson of Florida. Just as soil has to be softened to receive seed, our hearts must be ready to receive the word of God. Many times an argument between two people isn’t really about the subject they are discussing, but often it is about an earlier circumstance often unrelated to the current conversation. The key to resolving a conflict is willingness to listen until we understand the feelings underneath the words to come to a deeper understanding. We can learn to listen with our heart.

The Community Egg hunt will be held on Saturday, April 7 at 10 a.m. at the Hillville Community Center. All kids are invited to come out and join in the hunt. For more information contact Aleta Bradford at 772-1234.

The Mt. Pleasant UMC Council met on Monday, March 13 to conduct the business of the church.

The Mt. Pleasant United Methodist Women met on Wednesday, March 15 for their monthly meeting. Hope Cannon presented a Call to Prayer and Self Denial program. Those in attendance were Lillie Goodman, Sue Goodman, Barbara Hayes, Peggy Lewis, Deborah Lewis, Lisa Lewis and I.

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

Haven’t heard how the Harmony Baptist Church Bike-A-Thon went, but I did see a picture on Facebook of Naomi Benard riding a bike, or should I say trike. Naomi, did you show up those young folks?

Friday night, Travis and I enjoyed eating at J’s Diner. The food there is great and they have outstanding service.

While we were there, my mom, Olivia Watson and Doug Jones came in and as we were leaving, Jerry Lewis, Jeannie and Georgie McBride were coming in to dine.

Birthday wishes this week to Brooke Sills, Connie Cathey and Troy Phillips.

Prayer requests this week include Kathy Watson Doering, Cindy Emerson, Rita Phillips, Roscoe Martin, Billy Edmonds, Frank Fergie, Nell Frazier, Virginia Hayes, Ronald Bruce, Roger Johnson, Jackie Watkins, Bill Glover, Perry Ann McCloud, Linda Hayes, Robert Campbell, Anneli Myers, Enid Powell, Fletcher Lewis, Shirley Morgan, the military, the nation and the community.

Sympathy to the family of Mr. L.T. Sinclair in the loss of their loved one.

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

Until next week... God bless.

We had a good service at Allen on Sunday. We were so glad to have all of our visitors and would like to have them visit again soon. Linda Merrick and Vondia White sang our special music. My sweet mother died 28 years ago on March 18, 1984, and Linda and Vondia didn’t know it, but they sang her favorite song, In the Garden. Sweet memories.

Allen will host a community - wide women’s luncheon “Focus For Our Lives” on April 14 at 11 a.m. in the Family Life Center. The guest speaker will be Carol Bivens, and tickets are $10 each, including lunch. If you are interested in attending, please contact Dawn Lovelace or Iris Byrd.

A Beth Moore Bible Study on the book of James will be held at the home of Shirley Kendrick on Thursday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., April 5 – May 24.

Claire spent last weekend with me. We had so much fun together with birthday parties and playing. She attended church with W.A. and me on Sunday. What a lovely way to spend the weekend.

Julian had his braces removed last week and he hasn’t stopped smiling. He is very proud of his smile. He was on spring break last week, so he spent the night with us.

We were so glad to have Mrs. Betty Dedmon’s sister and her family visiting with us on Sunday. I am

sure they had a great visit while they were here.

Happy Birthday to Debra Rodgers, Darla Dedmon, Jacob Lovelace, Shannon Hobock, Jennifer Emerson, Madalyn Coulston and Stan Flowers.

On our prayer list are: Jim Stephenson, Debbie Puckett, Don Lovelace, Peggy Canady, Bobby Barden, Carolyn Danley and Mary Ann Nolan.

Our Bible verse for this week is Psalm 95:1, which states, “O come, let us sing unto the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.”

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

Have a great week.

Around Town

“Victorious Christian Living” was the subject chosen for the message. Why do we not have victory in our lives at times? Unforgiven sin could be the answer or taking things in our own hands and failing to wait on God. Other reasons could be failing the test of endurance, or lack of faith, or failing to trust and obey God.

We can rejoice in the fact that our names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Victory only comes as we humbly turn to God in faith, trusting Him to help us. God is bigger than any problem we have.

The renown, Winston Churchill, once warned the British people, “Never give up, never, never, never give in to the enemy.”

Liz Rankin sang a beautiful song for special music. As the invitation was given, the church welcomed Roy and Beverly Lewis into its fellowship. They have moved back here from Paris.

Happy birthday to Judy

Blair, Jean Climer, Maria Houy, Betty Barden, Annabell Long, Belinda Long, Taylor Thomas and Tyler Tindle. Happy anniversary to Andy and Jan Wynn.

Terry Brown, Judy Blair, Alan and Debbie Jones, Mark and Jennifer and Dewey, Martha and Lorie Jones all attended the gathering of the W.O.W. members and their families at a local restaurant last Thursday night.

Those on the sick list needing our prayers are Ruth Taylor, Betty Barden, Linda Hayes, Viola Brown, Bobby Barden and Annalee Myers. Others are Mark Stephens, Fletcher Lewis, Elaine Brown, Olga Sellari, Louise Coleman and Teresa Owen. Also include James Stephens, Justin Climer, Ashlyn Young, Gaylon Turnage and Janie Fisher.

When I saw my doctor on the front page of the States Graphic last week, it made me have regrets that we didn’t attend “Dancing With The Haywood County Stars.”

James and Judy Lewis and Roy and Beverly Lewis enjoyed a fish supper with Robert and Betty Barden last Saturday night.

Daniel and Christine Jarnagin and four children from Wisconsin came by for a visit with Brother Ralph and Elaine Brown last Saturday on their way to Mississippi to visit with grandparents.

Sunday night was a time of searching of hearts, praise and prayers led by Bro. Ralph Brown and Jimmy Duvall playing along on his guitar with Nancy Campbell on the piano.

I believe spring is here with the blooming shrubs. The grass will soon be ready for mowing.

I went out picking up limbs one beautiful day last week, and when I sat down on a bench to rest, the birds were singing in the trees, and a little squirrel ran in the yard, not far away, sat up and ate an acorn. Spring is truly a beautiful time of year when nature comes alive again.

Dean Walton says if you are hospitalized, there is no better place to be than Haywood Park Hospital! Recently, she was treated in our hospital and said that everyone from admissions to food service, clean-up, Lab, X-Ray, nurses and doctors, were professional, compassionate, attentive, caring and most definitely…contributed to her comfortable stay and successful treatment there! She has nothing but praise and compliments for our local hospital! Now that’s what we like to hear!

Jody Lea and his wife Jeanna, were ecstatic to be able to fly to Atlanta last week, to go to market for the Treasure Chest! Talk about ‘the life’! Whoa! Of course those of us who were not invited, will at least be able to benefit from what they purchased!

Roland and Ann Reid, along with grandson, Will Vestal of Lakeland, spent last week on Hilton Head Island. It was Will’s spring break from his school Briarcrest, in Memphis and he loves going to the beach each March.

Dr. Sue McElrath took a trip to Grafton, Ill. over the weekend. It was an all girls’ long weekend and she enjoyed the company of some old friends. What an awesome time they had lounging on their deck overlooking the river, shopping, dinner theatre and other ‘touristy’ things.

It was a great town, to do a girls’ trip!

Joe and Susan Sills had a fabulous few days at Gaston’s World Famous Trout Resort on the White River, near Mountain Home, Arkansas, a short time ago. Joe was putting together a special section for the Mid South and Fishing News to run in April, while Susan relaxed in the cabin beside the gorgeous mountain stream and walked the nature trials on the premise. Susan had the opportunity to photograph many varieties of wildlife, including American Bald Eagles, Great Blue Herons, an abundance of migrating songbirds, as well as the resident peacocks. As they were leaving the river kind of late, from a few hours of trout fishing, two U.S. Army Apache attack helicopter crews ‘dropped in’ from the fading sky, for dinner at Gaston’s highly acclaimed restaurant! Quite a contrast to the usual environs!

The Ribbon Cutting for the just-opened Salvation Army was terrific! Despite the pouring rain, the building was absolutely packed! There were a bunch of happy folks who were heading up that organization! They still need food items, clothes and other items of necessity, to fill their coffers! Diana Tate, Alan Callery, Sandra Silverstein,

Andy Wynn and the Salvation Army officers were about to burst with pride! They have worked extremely hard to make this dream a reality and… they did it! Look out, you may be asked to be a bell ringer this year at Christmas!

The Chamber, First South Bank and The States-Graphic have teamed up to give their Second Annual Women In Business Luncheon! The participation for this year is fabulous and the attendance will surpass last year’s event!

Our guest speaker will be Dr. Theresa Woodard, who just lately partnered with Dr. Clarey Dowling at Dowling Family Medical Clinic. She will talk on Women’s Health! Imagine… a whole room of remarkable women!

Another Chamber Ribbon Cutting is coming up at Scott Street Resource Center, March 30 at 10 a.m.! Karen Jones is so pleased with the remodeling of the center that she will also be having an Open House on Saturday, March 31.

Relay for Life is totally ‘kicking in’ in Brownsville! Dates, places and times are being discussed for everything! Having it up at the Court Square will be incredible!

Let me hear from you! [email protected] or 780-4111.

By DeDeI hope everyone is

having a great week so far. We are enjoying this nice warm weather. Our residents are getting out and breathing some fresh air. They are sitting on the front porch and rocking in the rocking chairs, just enjoying their leisure time together.

Our Postcard winners for the month of February is: Most Cards Received and Most Unique: Jack and Margaret Ann F, Weirdest: Lily P, Furtherest away: Marie A, Prettiest: Dorothy M, Honorable Mention: Eleanor R. All of our winners received gift cards from Wal-Mart. They all had so much fun with the Postcards. Thank you to all who sent postcards to our residents.

Have you seen the picture in our calendar for the month of March? It’s Lily P, and she is gathering eggs. It is so precious; the chickens cooperated wonderfully when taking this picture.

We want to send our sympathy to one of the nicest men around, Bro. Larry Sweeney in the loss of his wonderful wife, Emily. Bro. Sweeney is one of the pastors that come to Sugar Creek once a month to deliver a sermon for our residents. We appreciate him for all he does. Bro. Sweeney you will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.

Please keep our residents in your prayers. We have some under the weather, some at the hospital and some still at Crestview. I know they will all appreciate your prayers.

Some of our local churches should be receiving a letter from Sugar Creek about allowing us to come and feed your senior citizen group lunch or supper. We would love the opportunity to come and speak about Sugar Creek and what we have to offer. Please don’t wait till something happens and you have

to find somewhere to go. Many people do and unfortunately they miss out on places like Sugar Creek. I promise you will not be dissatisfied with your meal or what Diane has to share with you.

We are having a GIRL! Our residents are excited to find out that Tamekia, aka Fifi, is having a little girl. They are already asking her when she is due and what her name will be. I know they will all spoil this baby when she gets here. Working at Sugar Creek is as much of a blessing as living here. We are all one big family. Our children love to come and see the residents. Everyone is treated like family. We are looking forward to some of you becoming part of our family.

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

Spring came early this year making everything, including grass, grow. If you have not cut your yard by now, you’re behind. This yard work is too much like work for me. Many of us have friends or families buried in Zion Methodist Church Cemetery and with the cost of maintaining the cemetery going up, help is needed. If you feel like you should make a donation to this upkeep, please send your donation to James Earl White, 51 James Earl White Rd., Brownsville, TN 38012. Whoever is doing this job now is doing an excellent job of keeping the cemetery looking great!

I lost the last one of my aunts last week to

lung cancer. Aileen Austin Durham was the youngest sister of Marie Kendrick and my mother, Katherine Austin Clutts. Burial was in Forrest Hill Cemetery in Memphis.

Lucille Matlock celebrated her birthday in Tunica last week with daughters, Diann and Linda. Louquita Climer enjoyed spending the day at home last Sunday. She has been recovering at Bells Nursing Home and is looking great! I know she is looking forward to being home for good.

Katie Lewis and Maggie Anne Herron were inducted into the Haywood High School Beta Club recently. Last six weeks, Katie made second honor

roll and Maggie Anne made first honor roll. Congratulations and keep up the good work, girls! Laura Kendrick has been home on spring break from UT Knoxville this week.

I have been reading “The Hunger Game” and this week it will be coming out in theaters. There are three books in this series and has been required reading in high schools. Reading is the only thing you can do that is good for your mind, doesn’t cost much and takes you to another world. Thought for the Week: “Just think how happy you would be if you lost everything you have right now… and then got it back again.”

Our Pastor Rev. Harden did not preach on Sunday, we were blessed with a powerful word from a newly licensed minister and one of our very own, Minister Brandon Wilson, and oh my did he deliver an anointing word “Strong Builders, Foolish Builders.” Which one are you? All in attendance enjoyed him. We were happy to have all of our guests and ministers from the surrounding areas to celebrate in the joyous occasion with him. I know the family is very proud of him, and his grandfather, the late William C. Wilson, is looking down from heaven with one of those big grins on his face.

Our choir was on fire on Sunday. We also held our Annual Shoe Rally program; it was a great success under the direction of my nieces, Connecticut Lee and Wyomia Ray, newly named the Dynamic Duo.

Please pray for those that have lost their loved ones: The Clark family in the loss Minnie Alice Clark, the wife of the late R.T. (Bollie) Clark, and

the mother of Evangelist Annie Mae Wilson, the Rice and Clark family in the loss of Mary (Loonie) Clark Rice. She was the daughter of the late R.T. and Minnie Alice Clark, and the sister of Evangelist Annie Mae Wilson, the Johnson Family in the loss of Kimberly Johnson; she was a very sweet young lady. We were very close to her father Rev. Damon Johnson, and my granddaughter Nikita grew up next door to them when they were younger.

Please continue to pray for our sick and shut-ins: Bill Taylor. Berdie Barden and her son in law, Florine Bond, Charles Cole, Fannie McKinney, Willie Herman Robinson, Virginia Robinson, Mary Robinson, Mary Taylor, Jessie Pender Jr., Thelma Bobbit, Sammie Hines, John Duckworth, Sr., Curtis Harden, Eddie Harden, Stacy Greer, Rev. Willie B. Jones, Laura (Peaches) Snipes, Estella Franks, Vera Ross, William Gaines, Fred Sanders, Walter Frank Chism, Cynthia Bullock Transor, Pearl Gray, Annie

Flora Forrest, Pearline Jones, Mr. and Mrs. L.C. Pirtle, Virginia Higgins, Mr. Jessie Thomas White, Glenn White, Rosie Lee Hines, Emma Lue Graves, Fannie Anderson, Mosie Mae Hines Fuller, Marvin Ross, Rev. J.V. Carney, John Drake, Rev. Liggins, Billy Golden, Tony Bass, James King and Rosetta (Aunt Dear) Williams.

If anyone has news that they want published, please contact me by Sunday evening at 772-2006. If you don’t have a church home or perhaps looking for a “Fresh Wind,” join us any Sunday at London Branch Baptist Church at the dead end of London Branch Road.

When the spirit gets there IT STAYS because it has nowhere to go! Our thought for the week: “It is high time to tell the Devil he is A Lie! Cast him out of your home, your life, your family, your relationships, your job, everything around YOU! Tell him ENOUGH is ENOUGH! Walk in to the purpose that God has for YOU!

Until next week... in all things be blessed!!!!

Not much in the way of news from Stanton this week, so I’ll give you what I have.

We have two drainage projects going on now, one of which is being completed by our own Stanton Public Works Department. Recent heavy rains have slowed progress on the drainage project behind City Hall, but they have made great progress on the drainage part itself.

Just so you understand what is going on with this, The Town Hall, Shop and Cannery all had a problem with water after a heavy rain. For many years now, soil has eroded down the hill behind our downtown buildings and the soil level had become higher than the foundation. Each time we got a heavy rain, water would seep in through the back wall. The water seepage problem should now be solved with the removal of the dirt and the new drainage system our Stanton crew has installed behind the buildings. Looks like water may not seep into

the back of the buildings anymore!

However, the Federal Drainage Project is continuing, despite some minor pitfalls. Most of the large drainage canal has been opened up, and hopefully will alleviate spring flooding in low lying areas around town. Please be aware that heavy equipment will be moving in and around the drainage ditch area. By the way, I’ve heard I now wear another hat; I’m now a ditch expert haha!

For those of you who know me - you know I write the facts as I understand them and throw in my two cents worth when I have room to do so. Guess I offered too much of my opinion? Apparently those who do not read my column on a regular basis are not aware of my routine in voicing my opinion.

But it just makes sense to me when I see these side ditches in Stanton that won’t hold a good bucket of water, that if you use any type of machinery to clean it out

– it’s going to be bigger and deeper! Duh, I’m not a rocket scientist, but I think any of us could figure that out.

Plus that’s what we need! We have a major water problem here in Stanton and I know of a few folks who are tired of their homes flooding after a heavy rain.

Cookbooks are ready now for pick up at the Stanton Welcome Center. Since our funding was cut also this year, along with many others, we’re trying every way possible to raise extra money so we can keep our center open for you.

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

The National Personnel Records Center Fire of 1973: Not Everything Was Destroyed – an article by Dick Eastman of Eastman’s Online Genealogy Newsletter.

“One of the big losses to genealogists and to many others occurred on July 12, 1973, when a fire destroyed many records at the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis. The records storage facility was operated by the National Archives and Records Administration and housed military service records. The fire destroyed approximately 16 to 18 million official military personnel records. While that is a staggering number of records, it still represents only about one-third of the 52 million official military personnel files. Sadly, the records had not yet been digitized for long-term preservation nor even copied to microfilm, the standard method of preserving paper documents at that time. The records existed only on fragile paper and were susceptible to fire, flood, mildew and other dangers. The building was essentially a large warehouse, filled with

filing cabinets. There were no firewalls or other fire-stopping devices to limit the spread of fire. No heat or smoke detectors were installed in the building, nor was there a fire sprinkler system to automatically extinguish a fire.

The exact cause of the fire was never fully determined… However, the fire investigation later reported that cigarettes were present in several trash cans, obviously displaying a hazard in a building full of paper. Another possibility was spontaneously combustion. The same report noted that the floor where the fire started had seen extremely high temperatures in the St. Louis summer with little or no ventilation. When the fire broke out, it spread rapidly and destroyed the only copies of millions of records. The fire destroyed the entire sixth floor of the National Personnel Records Center. Water damage destroyed many more records on the fifth floor, and additional water damage was spread throughout the building. Another problem was mold that was observed within days in the hot,

humid summer weather. Officials sprayed thymol throughout the building to control any mold outbreak. For any genealogist looking for an ancestor’s personnel record, this was a great loss. It became an even bigger loss for the men and women whose records were destroyed as it became difficult to prove military service when applying for benefits. Indeed, many people assume “the records must have been destroyed in the fire, so I won’t even bother to check.” While millions of records were destroyed that day, not all of them went up in flames. In fact, many of the records did survive and are available today. No indexes had been created prior to the fire. In addition, millions of documents had been lent to the Department of Veterans Affairs before the fire occurred. Therefore, a complete listing of the records that were lost is not available.”

A lot of people think when they turn off an electrical appliance that it doesn’t use any power. Time to think again, most electri-cal devices in your home still use electricity while turned off! Crazy! Some appliances never actually turn off, they are still consuming power in a standby power mode. Some electrical appliances in your home aren’t in a standby power mode, but still consume power because the way their power supplies are built. This is called many things, vampire energy, phantom en-ergy, electricity leak, or leaking electricity.

Haywood baseball coach Chris Messer beefed up his team’s schedule in a big way this season, starting off the season a pair of tournaments (Lewis Harris and Best of the West) that feature many of the area’s best teams.

For the most part, the Tomcats have shown they belong, picking up wins over Bolton and Millington and being competitive in all but one game this season.

“The kids are fighting hard … There’s no doubt about that,” Messer said. “We’ve just got to do the little things that win baseball games.”

Haywood (2-4) did quite a few things right Saturday at Bolton in the finale of the Lewis Harris event, taking down the Wildcats 12-5.

The Tomcats trailed 3-0 early, but rallied for six runs in the seventh inning to put the game out of reach.

Taylor Stokley led the way, going 3 for 3 with

an RBI, and Taylor Jones drove in three runs on two hits and picked up the pitching win in three innings of relief.

Seth Birdsong was 2 for 3 and Bishop Noble drove in a pair of runs as Haywood banged out 10 hits.

Haywood nearly made it two straight wins Monday at Brighton against Memphis Home Education Association in the Best of the West opener.

After falling behind 5-2 through five innings, Thomas Currie drove in two runs with a double in the sixth and Noble drove in another to tie the score.

In the bottom of the seventh, MHEA loaded the bases with two outs before Jordan Fitzgerald caught a fly ball at the wall in the left-center to send the game into the eighth.

MHEA scored in the bottom of the eight for a 6-5 win.

Three Haywood errors proved to be costly.

“We didn’t get some key hits when we needed them,” Messer said. “But if we hadn’t put ourself in that situation (with errors)

it wouldn’t have mattered … Most of the games we’ve lost we controlled our own destiny … But this can help us when we get into district. This is why we’ve played a tougher schedule.”

Jones went the distance for Haywood, striking out two and allowing four earned runs on 11 hits.

Haywood returns to action Friday against T i p t o n - R o s e m a r k Academy at Covington High School at 5 p.m. On Saturday the Tomcats wrap up BOW play at USA Stadium against Halls at 1 p.m.

The Tomcats open up district play Monday at Obion County and Tuesday at home against OC again. Both games start at 6:30 p.m.

In other action: • Fitzgerald went 4 for

4 with a double, triple and RBI as Haywood defeated Millington on Tuesday, 9-5. Blake Porch and Birdsong each drove in two runs. Birdsong went the distance and got the win, striking out 10 and scattering seven hits over

seven innnings. • Haywood lost at Bolton

on March 12 in the season opener, 12-6. Currie and Fitzgerald each doubled and Scott Vanstory drove in a run. Birdsong took the loss.

• The Tomcats fell to

Cordova, 5-4, on March 13. Haywood trailed 4-0 before rallying late to make things interesting. Blake Porch and Vanstory each doubled, singled and drove in a run and Fitzgerald drove in two. Jones allowed just one

earned run over six innings, but took the loss.

• Haywood was no-hit by St. George’s last Thursday and fell 13-3. Dustin Staggs took the loss for the Tomcats.

First-year Haywood track coach David Claybrooks took his young team to University of Memphis High School Track Meet on Saturday and, overall, like what he say.

“It took a while to get the kids to relax and focus on the meet,” Claybrooks said, “but 90 percent of your team is competing in their first-ever high school meet, it can be tough.”

On the boys’ side, junior Kaderran Bond finished sixth, junior Shemar Powell ninth and senior Tamarcus Clark 12th. All three recorded personal-best throws.

In the 300-meter hurdles, freshman Bryce Young ran a 47.42 for ninth place and junior Darius Pirtle posted a 46.03 for sixth.

“I’m proud of these two gentleman because they only went through three hurdle practice sessions before this meet,,” Claybrooks said.

Pirtle edged a Munford runner by one one-hundreth of a second.

“It was nuts,” Claybrooks said. “When the race was over, the crowd gave both young gentlemen a standing ovation for their effort.”

On the girls’ side, senior

Alexis Peeples led the way with a seventh place finish in the 100 meters and freshman Jabria Nixon finished sixth in the 300-meter hurdles.

Senior Ida Parrish, junior Natasha Bommer and freshmen Ebony Clark and Kayla Shaw took third overall in the 4x200.

“These four ladies did not know who was going to be in the relay until two days before the race,” Claybrooks said. “So, to go into a meet with only one relay practice and be ranked second in the state of Class A-AA is pretty impressive.”

The last event of the day was the 4x400 relay with Clark, Alexis Peeples, Jabria Nixon Bommer on the team. The girls ran 4:31.36, placing fourth in the event and running a school record and having the best time for Class A-AA.

“If someone had went up to me right before the race and said ‘Coach Claybrooks, your girls team will be in second place halfway through the race and they would be ahead of Southwind and Arlington, two Class 3A schools,’ I would’ve looked at them and just laughed. I’m proud of the effort they

give in the relay … The coaching staff is also very proud of Ashauna Jeter, Patsy Jameson, Eliza Ford and Ricarnicea Johnson for their performance as well.”

Said Clark, “When I first received the baton, I was thinking run your fastest and hardest. That’s what I did. I’m glad we won because it was my first race as a high schooler and it gave me hope and made me realize what we can achieve.”

Shaw was happy with her team’s peformance.

“When I first received the baton, I was thinking, ‘We have the lead and I

just have to keep it.’ And I did just that and more,” Shaw said. “I’m happy the Haywood girls got the win.”

Peeples though she could have done better in the 100 meters.

“Well, I don’t think I started out right,” Peeples said. “I don’t know if it was the block or what. I was not pleased with my time nor my place. I plan to work hard and get better.”

The Haywood boys and girls teams get back to action March 30 at the Ole Miss High School Invitational in Oxford, Miss.

On Thursday, March 15, 2012 the Haywood High Tennis team celebrated the reopening of their tennis courts after a complete renovation. The renovation allowed the tennis team to play not just during the day, but also at night. The project began when Mrs. Betsy Reid, appointing herself as the spokesperson, went to Greg Vanstory

and asked if there was anything they could do to spruce the courts up. They then went with a team to Haywood County Schools S u p e r i n t e n d e n t Dr. Marlon King with Greg Vanstory laying out his plan to reconstruct the tennis courts and surrounding area.

With a lack of funds, the project became a “Community Partnership,” having the community to back them up with this

project. Eventually, they were able to save approximately $40,000 on renovation costs.

“Everyone gave a part and there was not a single person that said no.” Greg Vanstory said.

Those who participated with the project managers in this community effort were Jim McAdams, Mary Ann Sharpe, County Mayor Franklin Smith, City Mayor Jo Matherene, Sheriff Melvin Bond,

Public Works Director Bobby Mayer and his team, Nancy Cates and Tommy Waddell and their Parks and Recreation team, BoBo Vanstory, Ricky Walker, Allen Currie, Russ Stoots and his Brownville Utility Team, and Clinton Neal and his County Farm Team.

“When it all started it wasn’t about how it was going turn out or how it was to going end up. It was about let’s get a place where these kids can

come out and play. It’s something they can be proud of and not be embarrassed about,” Clinton Neal said.

“When the school system and the community work together as one, this tennis court is just one example of what can be accomplished. And as we work on this athletic project lets not forget about our academics; let’s make sure we partner together when it comes to accelerating

achievement in our school system because we want to produce good product,” Dr. Marlon King said.

If you have an opportunity, go by and check out this amazing change that the community has come together and produced. The Haywood High tennis team’s next home game will be April 3 at 4pm against Crocket County. So come out and support your Haywood High student athletes.
