The City of Brownsville issued the fi rst liquor store Certifi cate of Compliance to Robert Allen of Germantown, who won the “lottery” for Zone 3. Allen met all of the requirements of the Liquor Ordinance, including the zoning regulations and

the criminal background check. He will appear before the Alcoholic Beverage Commission in November with the proper applications, and upon their approval, will be able to open a liquor store at 3796 Anderson Avenue, which he will call Prime Time Liquor.

In a called meeting of the mayor and board of alderman

on Monday, October 29, Allen told the board that he has experience in the convenience store business, and said he already has an experienced staff and plans on running a “tight ship.” He hopes to be able to be up and running and open for business by Thanksgiving.

The mayor and board of alderman voted on the

issuance of a Certifi cate of Compliance to Allen.

Aldermen Simmons and King voted no, and Alderman Averyheart and Vice Mayor Flagg voted yes. Mayor Matherne’s vote of yes broke the tie, and the certifi cate, which needs the signatures of the majority of the board, was issued.

The annual Veterans Day Program this year will be held on Monday, November 12, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. The program will feature an address by Captain Blake English, who recently returned from the Middle East Theater, where he served as Operations Offi cer, 230th Engineer Battalion in Kuwait.

Captain English is a native of Brownsville, Tennessee. He graduated from Haywood High School in 1998 and received his BA Degree from UT-Martin in 2004. Captain English enlisted into the Tennessee Army National Guard as a Private First Class in 1997 and received his commission through the UT-Martin ROTC Department in 2004. He has been deployed twice in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom where he served as Gun Truck Platoon Leader, A Battery 1st of the 115th Field Artillery in Camp Taji, Iraq and most recently as Operations Offi cer, 230th Engineer Battalion, Kuwait. Captain English currently serves as Training and Operations Offi cer, 230th Engineer Battalion, Trenton, Tennessee. CPT English resides in Medina.

Featured in this year’s salute to Veteran’s Day is “Your Field of Flags” which is prominently displayed on the lawn of the Haywood County Court House. The program is a contribution of the Exchange Club with each fl ag representing a memorial, dedication or recognition of a veteran, active member of the military, past military hero and/or a present member serving the general public.

The Veteran’s Day Program is a yearly feature sponsored by the Malcolm C. Wright Post 4838 of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the David Craig Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Should weather permit the program will be presented on the front steps of the Court House, but should inclement weather occur, the program would be presented in the upstairs courtroom of the Court House.


Construction of a 6,000 square foot tornado safe space at Haywood Elementary School has begun.

The building has been designed to be able to withstand an EF5 tornado containing wind speeds of up to 250 miles per hour.

The building will house six classrooms, and will look no different than the current classrooms, according to Henson Construction Services, project managers for the construction.

The difference between the structures is the way they are built. The addition will be reinforced with thicker concrete, steel and rebar from the foundation

up, and will be constructed using load bearing masonry.

The project is being funded by a FEMA Safe Room grant, which was submitted by EnviroSafe Solutions of America on behalf of the Haywood County School System. The total budget for the project is $1,444,000, with 87 ½ percent of the funding being provided by FEMA and TEMA, and the other 12 ½ percent coming from Haywood County.

Henson Construction Services is using equipment that the county already owns, and is utilizing inmate labor in an effort to save the county as much money as possible.

Construction is scheduled to be completed before the start of the 2013-2014 school year.

Alex Harvey was a guest of the Delta Heritage Center Saturday, October 27. Not only did he provide the entertainment, he also provided a meal beforehand. Harvey prepared a fried catfi sh dinner, complete with boiled shrimp, corn, coleslaw, new potatoes, baked beans and hushpuppies.

After the meal, Harvey took to the stage and entertained guests with several songs he has written over the course of his career. If you have never had the opportunity to see Harvey perform in a small setting, you have missed out. Not only does he entertain his guests through song, but also through his storytelling.

Harvey told stories about his childhood and the music industries. He told the story of why he chose to “walk away” from the professional music industry eight years ago. He gave up professional song writing because he felt country music had gone astray, and was leaning towards more vulgar topics like the promotion of underage drinking, sex and drug use. “Country music just isn’t what it use to be,” said Harvey.

When asked about his musical career, Harvey stated he began singing at the age of six. One of his biggest infl uences was Mrs. Lyde Kate Estes, a neighbor who liked his voice, encouraged his singing and introduced

him to church at the tender age of six. She has always been an important infl uence in Harvey’s life, and you can see in his eyes the love and respect he has for her when he speaks about her. “I still today maintain a relationship with Christ, that is based on what I learned from Mrs. Estes all of those years ago,” said Harvey.

Today, Harvey travels the globe spreading the gospel, as he believes he should spend his days being a servant of God. He has performed in 12 countries, written probably 3,000 songs, which have been recorded by more that 50 professional artists, and has written two books, No Place But Texas: What Every Non-Native Needs to Know and The Billy Bunnies Legend of the Dandelion.

When asked what his greatest challenge in life has been, he said, “truly understanding how much God loves me.” When asked about his greatest accomplishment, he stated that was, “taking a predicted failure, and making it into an accomplishment.” He referenced being told by a professional in the music industry that his songs were horrible, and that he would never be a professional songwriter.

Harvey has one brother, Legrand, who lives in Montana, and wrote the offi cial ballad for the State of Montana. He also has a sister, Gene, who still resides in West Tennessee. Harvey found it humorous that his brother lived in Montana, and wrote that state’s

offi cial ballad, and he himself wrote the offi cial ballad for the State of Texas while living there. “Isn’t that an accomplishment for two boys from West Tennessee,” said Harvey.

These days, when he’s not on tour, Harvey can be found at his home in Mont Eagle, or his home in Franklin, with his fi ancé, Gineille Sabilino. Harvey has two sons, and

Sabilino has one son.When I asked him

what he wanted people to know and understand, he said, “that God truly loves us, and that God wants us to love one another as He has loves us.”

As Vicky and I sat and discussed this story, we decided that maybe Harvey said it best. If people would love one another the way God loves us, this world would be a much better place.

Bill “Superfoot” Wallace was in Haywood County Saturday, October 27, as a special guest of Ellington’s School of Martial Arts, to teach a seminar on karate and fl exibility training at the Zion Baptist Church Family Life Center.

“Superfoot,” born William Louis Wallace on December 1, 1945 in Portland, Indiana, is a legend in the professional martial arts and kickboxing world.

He began his career in martial arts as a member of the United States Air Force’s Judo team in the mid 1960’s, but suffered an unfortunate knee injury during training in 1967.

Following his injury, Wallace began studying the art of karate and kickboxing, and made his debut as a professional kick boxer in 1972. He quickly gained attention as a force to be reckoned with, and gained notoriety for the precision and power of his high roundhouse kicks.

Wallace earned the nickname “Superfoot” after knocking out Jim Ecollas with a roundhouse kick during the second round of a fi ght in 1976. The kick was so fast, re-plays had to be played in slow motion in order to see it happen. Shortly after, the president of the Professional Karate Association attended a Los Angeles Lakers game, and noticed an item on the menu at the concession stand called the super foot long hot dog. “He called and

said he immediately thought of me, and said he was giving me the nickname “Superfoot,” and it has stuck with me ever since,” said Wallace.

Wallace earned a number of prestigious titles over the next eight years, and retired as the Professional Karate Association’s Undefeated Middleweight Champion after defeating Robert Biggs in Las Vegas in June of 1980. That victory marked his twenty-third consecutive win, leaving his record at 23-0.“Competition stopped being fun for me at that point,” said Wallace. “When it stops being fun, and you stop caring about what you do, you make mistakes and get hurt. I knew it was time for me to move on.”

Aside from Wallace’s impressive PKA career, he has appeared in 15 fi lms along side the likes of Chuck Norris, Jackie Chan and John Belushi.

“My favorite fi lm had to be Force of One, which I fi lmed with Chuck Norris,” said Wallace. “We had been friends for a long time, and he taught me a lot. Plus, it was my fi rst fi lm, so it was all new and exciting territory.”

Wallace was also good friends with Elvis Presley, and managed his karate school, The Tennessee Karate Institute, in Memphis from 1974 until 1977 when Elvis died. “I really enjoyed working there,” said Wallace. “Elvis and I would work out together, and he was just a genuinely nice guy.”

Wallace, who holds a bachelor’s degree in physical education and

a master’s degree in kinesiology, has authored several books, and now spends his time traveling the world giving seminars on karate, kickboxing and fl exibility training. He is considered one of the most sought after speakers on those topics, and stays booked at least six months in advance.

Ricky Ellington, owner of the Ellington School of Martial Arts, fi rst met Wallace at a seminar in Franklin two years ago. “I talked to him then about coming to Brownsville,” said Ellington, “and he said he’d love to.”

Ellington uses “Superfoot” training methods at his school, which he now operates with his son Jacob. His business started four years ago when he turned his garage into a dojo. “The next thing I knew, people from my neighborhood and church were wanting to come over for karate lessons,” said Ellington.

His business has grown, and he now has approximately 35 children and 10 adults enrolled in his school. Not only do they teach karate and kickboxing, they also teach a six-week long self defense course in the summer, and give demonstrations at different businesses, such as Crestview and Sugar Creek.

“My favorite thing about this business is being able to watch a child come in, who has no self-confi dence and thinks very little of their self, make a complete turnaround in just a few months and gain confi dence and

character,” said Ellington. The Ellington School

of Martial Arts offers classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays for children and adults,

and is a member of the Independent Karate Schools of America.

For more information on classes and registration, call Ricky

Ellington at 731-780-0649.Bill “Superfoot”

Wallace is scheduled to return to ESMA next October for another seminar.

Hospital Wing, which was founded in 1986, is a non-profi t air medical transport service that works in conjunction with hospitals in the Mid-South. They have alliances with The Elvis Presley Trauma Center (The MED), which is the only Level One Trauma Center in West Tennessee serving the Mid-South, Methodist Le Bonheur Health Care and the Baptist Health Care System, just to name a few.

Hospital Wing has bases in Selmer, Memphis, Brownsville and Oxford, Mississippi. They provide inter-hospital transfers and emergency scene calls within a 150-mile radius of Memphis, which includes West Tennessee, and areas of Arkansas, Mississippi, Missouri, Alabama and Kentucky.

Hospital Wing operates six Eurocopter Astar helicopters equipped with state of the art aviation devices to ensure fl ight safety. They are the fastest helicopters in the entire region, and are confi gured to carry a pilot, two nurses (or a nurse and a paramedic)

and one patient.Medical crews are on

duty 24-hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year at all four bases. Nurses and fl ight paramedics provide care, and must have a minimum of fi ve years of emergency and critical care experience. They must maintain advanced medical certifi cations in the advanced burn, cardiac, medical, neurological pediatric and trauma fi elds. Pilots must have a minimum of 3,000 hours total fl ight time. They receive intensive fl ight training and annual FAA check rides.

Hospital Wing transports patients who are critically ill, or who have been critically injured. The following are some of the injuries that would require air transport: penetrating trauma to the abdomen, pelvis, chest, neck or head; spinal cord or spinal column injury, or an injury producing paralysis of an extremity; partial or total amputation of an extremity, two or more long bone fractures or a major pelvic fracture; or a crushing injury to the abdomen, neck or head. Patients who have been involved in

a vehicle rollover with unrestrained passengers, a motorcycle accident or who have fallen more then 15 feet are also eligible for transport. Burn patients, as well as any patient suffering from a serious cardiac, medical, neurological or surgical emergency are also transported by Hospital Wing.

Hospital Wing transports an average of 150 patients per month, with 60 percent of those

fl ights being trauma related.

Hospital Wing offers an annual membership program to individuals for $50.00 per year, or $60.00 per family, which will prevent them from being billed for any cost associated with their fl ight that is not covered by insurance. However, Haywood County residents are exempt from paying those membership fees under the agreement made between Haywood

County and Hospital Wing.

Haywood County pays Hospital Wing $100,000 per year, which helps cover their operational costs. In return, Haywood County residents are not billed for any costs associated with a fl ight that are not covered by their insurance. Individuals who do not have health insurance are not responsible for the costs either. Haywood County residents do not

have to pay the annual membership fees for that service. Basically, if you live in Haywood County, a transport by Hospital Wing will cost you zero dollars out of your own pocket. Even if an individual is injured outside of Haywood County, and is transported by a helicopter from another one of Hospital Wing’s bases, there will still be no out-of-pocket cost to that individual.

Off the Beaten Path

I read an amazing statistic the other day. It seems we Americans are on track to spend some eight billion dollars on Halloween this year. That’s right, eight billion, a 10.7% increase over last year. In spite of the fact that we’re in the deepest and longest recessions since the Great Depression, we are spending money like drunken sailors for Halloween costumes, candy and yard decorations.

Oh yes, and cards too. We’ll plunk down a not so paltry 440 million for Halloween greeting cards. The holiday is second only to Christmas in separating us from our money and putting us in debt.

How could such a macabre, pagan inspired, some would say antireligious celebration become more popular than Easter or Thanksgiving?

Well, it has a longer history than Thanksgiving, and some say longer even than Easter. Although no one knows for sure, most people think Halloween’s roots lie in ancient harvest festivals from thousands of years ago, because throughout recorded history, and undoubtedly far back into prehistory as well, people have celebrated the end of the harvest season in one way or another. The earliest record of such events comes from the ancient Celts, people who lived in what we now know as Ireland, Scotland, England and Northern France.

The ancient Celtic calendar year began on November 1, which meant, of course, that the old year ended on October 31, which they also considered to be the last day of summer and the end of the harvest season. It also marked the beginning of the long, dark and dangerous days of winter.

The Celts, like most primitive peoples, were fearful and superstitious. They believed that on the last day of the year, October 31 for them, the boundary between the living world and that of the dead became blurred and overlapped. This blurring, they thought, allowed spirits of the dead to come back to earth to roam around causing sickness, destruction of crops and all sorts of other mischief.

Their priests, known as Druids, were thought to acquire special powers of divination and prophesy on this date, giving them the ability to predict the future and tell people’s fortunes, which they did.

To ward off the spirits of the dead, which were believed to be roaming all over the countryside, and who were thought to hate and fear light, the people would build huge bonfi res on the early evening of October 31. There they would gather, singing, dancing and telling each other’s fortunes.

To keep the spirits at bay, at some point

people began wearing masks while traveling to and from the bonfi re celebration, in order to fool the spirits into thinking the people were ghosts also. Some also wore costumes made out of animal skins.

By the 700’s, a rudimentary form of Christianity had come to the Celtic lands, and Pope Gregory III decided to move All Saints Day, a day honoring saints and martyrs, from May 13, to November 1. Some say he did so in order to co-opt the Celtic celebration and cleanse it of its pagan activities; if not, the date is surely a remarkable coincidence.

Two hundred and fi fty years later, another pope decreed that the day following All Saints Day would become All Souls Day. All Souls Day was celebrated much like the old Celtic pagan celebration with bonfi res, parades and dressing in costumes as saints, angels and devils. In Middle English, the term for all saints was “hallows” and the night before “hallows” was called “All Hallows Even (eve)” Hmm.

A practice also sprang up known as souling, which consisted of people going from door to door and promising to pray for the souls of a household’s recently departed members in exchange for “soul cakes” or other sweets or treats, or sometimes even money. Sound familiar?

When America was settled, Pilgrims and Puritans took a dim view of harvest festivals, or any other kind of celebrations, but during the great immigration wave of the 1800’s, especially among the Irish, the idea of harvest celebrations came too, and soon such events spread all across the country. Originally, Halloween parties were basically harvest festivals where people danced, sang and told stories about dead relatives and friends, and just for fun, tried to tell each other’s fortunes.

By the end of the 19th Century however, festive costumes had been added and pranks and mischief making had become common.

The idea of Halloween, it seems, just wouldn’t die, and during the fi rst part of the 20th Century it became a part of every town. It was marred, however, by increasingly violent pranks. Partly to combat this, one community after another began to steer the holiday in the direction of small children, and sometime (most say during the 1920’s) the controversial practice of trick-or-treating began to take hold. Some called it extortion, others, begging, but throughout the 30’s, the practice became more and more widespread.

It ground nearly to a halt during World War II because of sugar rationing, but after the war it returned with a vengeance, and by 1952, it was an American institution.

But the holiday still has its detractors. First, there are those who object on moral or philosophical grounds. The pope, and several protestant leaders as well, have complained about the holiday. Some argue that it promotes greed and vandalism instead of teaching children about goodness or the unattractiveness of evil. Others say the whole holiday, regardless of how “child friendly” we make it, has an undercurrent of occultism that borders on being anti-Christian.

Even some who like Halloween agree that things have gotten out of hand, citing everything from the obvious problems of stomach aches from too much candy and bad dreams from frightful or grotesque costumes to the various accidents that invariably occur on Halloween night. Not to mention the economic cost of the inevitable acts of vandalism.

We celebrate Halloween at our house with pumpkins and bats and ghosts and witches and all the happy trappings in between, but frankly, I dislike the holiday. I think we’d all be better off without it.

And I’ll bet that secretly, most of you do too.

Trick or Treat?Alex Harvey made

another stop in his hometown this past weekend and provided home folks an opportunity to see him in a somewhat different light.

Sometimes the most challenging thing an entertainer can do is to offer his or her audience an opportunity a look into the very depths of their soul. After all, so many in the audience prefer to see and hear the diversity of their talent rather than the passions of their heart and soul. On this night in Brownsville, Alex had a strong desire for the later.

I fi rst met Alex at Haywood High School in the fall of 1955 when we both began our high school careers as members of the freshman class. Although, I knew so much about Alex, the entertainer, I know now that I never really knew the man behind the man.

I thoroughly enjoyed the times we had during those school years. He was very talented and a cool dude back then. I have really treasured his friendship through the years.

After graduation, we went separate ways for a spell. Alex went on to

college at Murray State in Kentucky where he earned both a bachelor’s degree and later earned a master’s degree. After completing his studies, he taught for several years in Kentucky and also in the Nashville area.

I was working at Brownsville Radio in 1972 when Delta Dawn was fi rst released. While being in radio at the time, it was much easier to follow the success of Alex’s career and catch a number of his concerts.

Those of us at the West Tennessee Delta Heritage Center this weekend had a rare opportunity to learn more about the man behind the man.

He had a strong message as he expressed his love for Brownsville and Haywood County and its people. He also shared numerous stories and colorful examples of how his upbringing was greatly responsible for his success. He also shared with us how songs are born in the heart of a songwriter.

One of his great success stories as a songwriter is “Delta Dawn.” As he sang the song in his own style, he never revealed to us who was the real Delta Dawn. That also seems to be one of

reasons for his success. Could it be that the storyline is sometimes more important than the inspiration that led to its composition. But any away you look at it, the song touched so many hearts over the years.

The song touched the heart of Tanya Tucker, a thirteen year old from Seminole, Texas, and undoubtedly launched her long standing career and went to number 6 on the national charts. At last count, the song caught the attention of more than seventy artists who went on to record the song, including Bette Midler and Helen Reddy who took the song to the top of the music charts.

As the performance drew to a close, I wondered if there was anything else that Alex had to prove. He has been successful in at least four major professions. As mentioned before, he has been successful as a teacher. He has also been successful as a singer, songwriter, and actor and has received accolades in each category.

So continue to tell your story, Alex. You have earned the right and we are glad that you stopped in on a very personal note.

Down and personal

It seems like the Christmas decorations hit the store shelves a little earlier each year, and since decorating our home for Christmas is one of my favorite things to do, I fi nd myself dragging out those decorations a little earlier each year.

I’ve been married for 12 years, and Chuck and I use to always put our tree up the day after Thanksgiving. Over the years I started doing it the night of Thanksgiving, and that eventually turned into hurrying home after Thanksgiving dinner to get the tree and other decorations up. The trend continued, and I began putting up the tree and decorating a little earlier, and last year had all of my decorations, including the tree, up a full two weeks before Thanksgiving.

Chuck wasn’t thrilled with the idea, as he felt I was rushing to Christmas, and not taking the time to truly appreciate the Thanksgiving holiday. I didn’t see it that way of course. In hindsight, however, I actually may have rushed through. I fi nd myself in such a hurry to fi nd the perfect gifts and get them wrapped, and then I

think I may get more anxious than my kids do for them to open them.

The point of the story is that I have promised myself this year that I will slow down and enjoy Thanksgiving. I have so much to be thankful for, and I know that it the back of my mind, but I am afraid that I don’t take the time to realize everything that I should be thankful for.

So, as a promise to myself, I have decided that I will, starting today, November 1, keep a journal and add entries to it every night. Those entries will be a list of the things that I have to be thankful for. And not just the obvious things, but also the smaller things that I may not always take the time to think about.

Of course I am thankful to have my amazing husband and beautiful children, my family and friends, and a great group of people to work with everyday. But I am not sure that I always take the time to be thankful for little things, that I am afraid may often go unnoticed.

Therefore, by the time Thanksgiving rolls around, I will have an entire list of things to be thankful for, and may share some of

those things with you all afterwards. I have also promised myself that I will wait until the weekend after Thanksgiving to put the tree up. “Mario Jackson,” our mischievous little “Elf of the Shelf” will be returning on December 1, so as long as I have our tree up and our home decorated by then, it will work out just fi ne, and that will give me plenty of time to enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday with the people that mean the most to me.

On another subject, I can’t believe that I forgot to mention last week how proud I am of my children. Sarah made fi rst honor roll, and Jacob had mastered all of his preschool skills for the fi rst quarter. He thinks he made fi rst honor roll like his big sister since he made all 100’s, and I just didn’t have the heart to tell him any different. They are both very bright, and work hard, and this mommy feels terrible for forgetting to mention it last week. I am also very proud of my nephews, Ethan and Nathan, for doing so well, too! Ethan made “Kindergarten Kadet,” and I’m pretty sure he hasn’t stopped smiling yet.

A promise to myself

From economic uncertainty, to random acts of violence, to divisive politics -- modern society has its pitfalls. And if the headlines have you down, you’re not alone. According to a recent Gallup study, three-quarters of the population is dissatisfi ed with the way things are going in the United States at this time.

But some experts believe that by simply putting things into perspective, we can avoid feeling overwhelmed by the realities of today.

“What’s going on now isn’t anything new,” says Michael R. Drew, co-author of “Pendulum: How Past Generations Shape Our Present and Predict Our Future.” “It's history repeated, through the cycles of social shifts.”

In “Pendulum,” Drew, along with co-author Roy H. Williams, draw upon historical events to show how western society goes through predictable 40-year shifts, swinging from an idealist “me” system of values, to a civic or “we” way of thinking. As we approach 2013, they say, we will embark on the upswing of a “we” era, characterized by divisiveness and destructive historical events.

However, there are ways to help ease stress about some of today’s issues and problems and those we are likely to encounter in the near future:

• Don’t be jaded by current political name-calling and divisiveness. It’s an American tradition.

Even our beloved Founding Fathers were not above getting down in the mud. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams conducted a particularly nasty campaign against one another that would be considered even more beyond the pale than what we read in blogs, hear on radio and see in advertising.

• You don’t need to immerse yourself in the 24-hour news cycle to be an informed citizen. Reading the newspaper, watching TV news, listening to the radio and checking out online news sites and social media services are an important part of staying connected to the world, but should be done in moderation.

By taking a bit of time away from incendiary cable news shows and logging off social media periodically, you can give yourself time to think and refl ect, focusing your energy on positive things. For media-junkies who can’t fathom disconnecting even temporarily, consider adding some alternative news sources to your mix, such as www.happynews.com, which supplies a dose of something different than anxiety-inducing content.

• Politics, manners, humor, sexuality, wealth -- even our defi nitions of success -- are periodically renegotiated based on whatever new values society judges acceptable. If you feel out of your element, simply give it some time and society will swing back toward

your way of thinking eventually.

• We're living in an age when more and more of us will be defi ned by what we are not, rather than what we are -- and what we stand against rather than what unites us. Fight against the divisiveness this creates by striving to be inclusive rather than exclusive.

For more insights, visit www.ThePendulumBook.com.

Rather than feeling oppressed by current events, you can gain a new perspective by riding the waves of our ever evolving society.

“There was a man who had two sons. And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of property that is coming to me. ’ And he divided his property between them. Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in reckless living.” (Luke 15:11-13)

The prodigal was saying, I don’t want to live under your authority. I don’t want to live under your household. I don’t want to have a continued relationship with you. I don’t want to hear your stories, or learn from your ways. I want to do things my way and I am going off to live my own life. This is the heart of rebellion toward God. In Isa 53, the Bible says that each one of us has gone astray – each to his own way. This independent spirit of wanting to be free from our creator and Lord is the heart of all sin and rebellion. We all have it. We all love it and Jesus is the only one who can save us from it.

The Brownsville States-Graphic, Thursday, November 1, 2012 — Page A9


Clinton Neal, son of Charles and Joyce Neal, was raised in the Nutbush Community in Haywood County. He attended Lauderdale County Schools, and graduated from Ripley High School in 1988. After graduation, he began farming with his brother, Randy, and their father.

Neal worked with his family raising cotton and soybeans for nearly 14 years. In 2002, his father became ill, and was no longer able to farm. Neal accepted a position as the Assistant Manager at the Haywood County Farm in March 2002. His duties included overseeing the inmates who worked the vegetable crops.In 2005, Neal accepted the position as Director of the Haywood County Solid Waste Department, a position he still holds today.

Neal’s responsibilities as Solid Waste Director include overseeing the landfi ll, rural garbage pick-up, billing for green box pick-up and the recycling center. “There is very little that is thrown away in Brownsville and Haywood County that doesn’t come to me,” said Neal. Household garbage is delivered to the landfi ll from the City of Brownsville, and is then transferred to Millington. Construction and farm waste is handled at the Haywood County landfi ll.Including Neal, there are ten employees at the landfi ll. Neal works in conjunction with Haywood County Sheriff Melvin Bond, who allows inmates to work with the Solid Waste Department, saving Haywood County thousands of dollars per year in labor costs.

“By Sheriff Bond allowing us to use inmates, we only have to have one full time employee at the recycling center and one employee to clean up around the green boxes,” said Neal. “ If Sheriff Bond didn’t allow inmates to work with us, we wouldn’t be able to give a recycling credit. In fact, we’d be lucky if we could keep the recycling center open.”

Not only does Neal utilize inmate labor at the recycling center, he utilizes their labor for community service projects. They remodeled the Mustard Seed and the Early Voting Center, and built the new awnings at the Haywood County Animal Shelter. They also help with other projects around the city and county. The solid waste employees who supervise the inmates

while they work outside of the jail are certifi ed to oversee inmates, just like correction offi cers are, according to Neal.

Neal also serves as Full-Time Superintendent at the Haywood County Farm. This year they raised and put up nearly 25,000 ears of sweet corn and 8,000 pounds of squash, which is enough to allow the inmates to eat the vegetable three times per week for an entire year. Growing those vegetable cuts down on the food costs to the Haywood County Jail. They also still cut and sell fi rewood at the county farm.

“People see me because I am out in the public, but I don’t do all of the work,” said Neal. “I am fortunate to have diligent co-workers who want to do the right thing and get the job done. Sheriff Bond, County Mayor Franklin Smith and the County Commission are vital to the Solid Waste Department. I couldn’t do everything I do without their help and support.”

Neal just came off of rotation as Co-Chair of the Solid Waste Directors Association of Tennessee, and currently serves on the board of directors for Haywood Park Community Hospital and the Boys & Girls Club. He serves as president of the board of directors for the Brownsville/Haywood County Chamber of Commerce, the county mayor’s liaison to the Haywood County Animal Shelter, and is the 2013-2014 president elect of the Rotary Club. He served as project manager for the construction of the Haywood County Criminal Justice Complex, and noted that it was “one of the most enjoyable responsibilities” he’s

had. He is a graduate of the 2010 Haywood County Leadership Class, where he received the “Thinking Outside the Box” award.Neal has two children, Kaleb and Jessica. Kaleb is a student at Northwest Mississippi Community College, where he is studying to be a John Deere Technician, and will return to Brownsville to work at Tennessee Tractor after he graduates in May.

Jessica is a sophomore at Ripley High School.

“I don’t only work during regular business hours,” said Neal. “I work 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If somebody needs me, I’m there. That’s the way I work, because I believe it’s the right thing to do.” That attitude is what makes Neal a Hometown Hero. He is always willing to help, and if he can’t help himself, will help you fi nd the person who can.

The Tennessee Board of Regents, Offi ce of Tennessee Technology Centers sponsors the Outstanding Student of the Year program statewide. This is the fi fth year for the TTC Outstanding Student of the Year program. The fi rst phase of this program takes place at the local level. Screening and selection committees will select the TTC’s top student as nominees move through an interview process. This top student will be given the title of TTC Ripley Outstanding Student of the Year Winner and will represent their fellow students and community in the regional

competition. All TTC winners will compete at the regional-level. Six regional winners will move on to compete at the state level in March.

This student will travel across the state speaking at various business and industry meetings, community organizations meetings, board meetings, and state conferences.

A Selection Committee of individuals from the community’s business, civic and industry leaders interviewed and evaluated three fi nalists from the TTC Ripley and selected Jill.

She will compete with representatives from other technology centers and six regional fi nalists will move on to compete for the state title and grand prize of a new car. To be considered for the Outstanding Student of the Year title a student must be nominated by his or her instructor.

The October meeting of the David Craig Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), was held on Thursday, October 25th. Fourteen members enjoyed dessert hosted by Nell Fox and Helen Roberts. Regent Margaret Welch welcomed several guests to the meeting, who attended to hear the guest speaker, Ret. Colonel Donald Burke, Jr.

The meeting was opened with the Ritual led by Regent Welch. Eleanor Rooks delivered the National Defense report on military drones. Minutes of the September, 2012 meeting were approved as submitted. Nell Fox gave the

Treasurer’s report; and Bobbie Simmons gave the President General’s message on the U.S. Constitution.

Members were reminded to contribute to the “Dimes for Siemes” effort to upgrade research facilities at DAR headquarters in Washington, DC; and Christy Bradshaw reported sending 1,550 coupons to military bases overseas for use by our soldiers and families.

The Chapter will co-host the annual Veterans Day ceremony on Monday, November 12th, 11:00 a.m., on Court Square.

Regent Welch introduced the guest speaker, Col. Burke,

and his wife Charlotte.

There being no further business, the meeting was closed by reciting the Preamble to the U. S. Constitution. The next meeting will be held on Thursday, January 24, 2013.

David Craig Chapter, DAR, Holds Monthly Meeting

A priority of mine as governor is making Tennessee the No. 1 location in the Southeast for high quality jobs. We’ll always be out recruiting new businesses to Tennessee, but part of our strategy for job growth includes focusing on existing industries – areas Tennessee already has a competitive advantage in.

We recently announced Nissan added a third shift for the fi rst time in its nearly 30-year history with the state, bringing 810 additional jobs to its Smyrna vehicle assembly plant. Nissan has added more than 2,000 manufacturing jobs in Tennessee since mid-2011.

The automotive industry is an important jobs driver in Tennessee, and we want to do all we can to grow automotive jobs in the state.

When then-Gov. Lamar Alexander met with Nissan executives in Japan many years ago, showing them a satellite image of the country at night, he pointed out the highest concentration of bright lights, and said Tennessee is right in the middle of that.

It was a compelling fact. Tennessee’s geographic advantages helped seal the deal then, and have benefi ted our region during the past 30 years.

After Nissan opened its Tennessee plant, Lamar then leveraged that presence to lure Saturn. And not long after, General Motors opened a Saturn plant in Spring Hill.

Gov. Alexander and others sowed the seeds to produce thousands of high-quality, good-paying jobs for our citizens over the last three decades. Tennessee has a rich history of successful partnerships with the auto industry, not only Nissan and

GM, but companies like Volkswagen and Denso, Autozone, Bridgestone, and more. Clearly, we’re doing something right to have these kind of companies to choose Tennessee time and again.

What’s so great about auto industry jobs and the industry’s contribution to our economy is the supply chain – auto industry jobs attract and create more jobs. It is my job as governor to continue to work in attracting and growing these jobs, which require technical skills and training. There is no question that economic development and education go hand in hand.

I believe that to be a jobs governor, you have to be an education governor.

In Tennessee, we are focusing on K-12 education, and we’re having success. To continue that success, we must do several things: improve teacher quality, raise accountability standards and put the child in the classroom at the center of everything we do.

For two consecutive years, student performance on the Tennessee C o m p r e h e n s i v e Assessment Program (TCAP) has shown signifi cant improvement. In fact, the achievement gains we saw this year represent the largest aggregate gains the state has ever made.

While we keep our foot on the gas in improving K-12 education, we are also ready to take the next step in focusing on post-secondary education. We have to look at the “iron triangle” of our challenges that include: access, cost and quality.

We must increase the number of graduates. Twenty-three percent of Tennesseans have a degree from a four-

year institution, and while college isn’t for everyone, it has to be for more people that it has been.

Our technology centers are having a lot of success with 80-plus percent graduation rates, but our community colleges’ graduation rates are mostly in the teens. We need to do better.

Across the country, the cost of post-secondary education is rising in double digits in some areas, meaning that middle-class families could be priced out of sending their children to college.

In response, my administration is rethinking how we treat higher education, making it more of a budget priority both on the operation side and in the capital project side.

We’re also incentivizing success. Under the Complete College Act, we’re rewarding institutions based on the number of graduates, which is a shift from funding based on the number of enrollees.

But our educational institutions also have work to do in examining the actual cost of education and whether they’re allocating their resources effi ciently and effectively.

It’s also important that we produce the type of graduates the market wants. We not only want to be able to attract the best and brightest minds to innovate here, we want to cultivate and grow some of those best and brightest minds right here in Tennessee.

As your governor, that’s the commitment I’ve made to all citizens of Tennessee: to be well-prepared to win in a competitive 21st century economy.

If you have questions about this or any other matter in our state, please contact me at [email protected].

The faculty and staff joined in on the fun and dressed appropriately as well. The music teacher,

Ginger Cunningham, sported a tall, curly, bright pink beehive, which was a hit with the students, as well as the guests.Students began by doing the “Twist” with Miss Ginger and some volunteer students from Haywood High School. The DJ had the music turned up, and the students were having a blast. Preschoolers danced to the following songs: Chicken Dance, Tooty-Tah, Freeze Dance, Macarena, Hands Up!, Cupid Shuffl e and the Hokey Pokey. As they exited the gymnasium, they did the “Bunny Hop” and danced to Let’s Twist Again. Kindergarten students danced to the same songs as the preschoolers, but added a few more songs in the mix, including YMCA, Hand Jive, Mambo #5 and Purple People Eater (Mashed Potato.)

Johnny EdwardsCandidate for Tennessee House of Representatives

Johnny Edwards never voted for a State Income Tax…. Craig Fitzhugh voted for a State Income Tax (SB 2646; 5/22/02)

…. as recently as 1/19/12 Craig Fitzhugh first voted against a Constittional Amendment to ban a State Income Tax before switching his vote toside with the Republican majority. Look at both votes on 1/19/12 http://wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/BillInfo/BillVotesArchiveaspx?ChamberVoting H&BillNumber=SJR0221&ga=107

Johnny Edwards believes Tennessee should get the best value for ev-ery dollar spent on state contracts, but businesses located in Tennessee should have preference.

…. In a recent direct mail Craig Fitzhugh’s flyer skipped from Tennessee to our sourcing directly to China and Mexico. It passed over all the otherstates in the USA.

Johnny Edwards believes marriage is only between a man and a woman.

…. Craig Fitzhugh was Tennessee’s delegate to the Democrat Nation Covention to adopt a platform endorsing and guaranteeing same-sex mariage.

Johnny Edwards served in the military forces of the United States of America for over twenty years (DD214) and retired with the rank of Major, USAF. He has a “Retired” ID card and receives benefits equal to his years of service.

……..ask Craig Fitzhugh why he quit using the title “Major, USAF Reserves (Retired)” after being challenged during a debate in Brownsville on 10/11/12. He has no ID Card and receives no benefits is his claim to “Retired” status is not justified. As a former Air Force Lawyer he should know.

Johnny Edwards’ campaign contributions come from family and friends.

…. Craig Fitzhugh spends tens of thousands of dollars, totaling well over 100 thousand, in campaign contributions from special interest groups, lobbyists and out of state corporations to lure voters and influence elections. A lot of that campaign money is spent with out-of-state public relation companies. Even Craig Fitzhugh’s campaign for re-election supports the economy of other states, but not very much spent in Tennessee.

Johnny Edwards spent more than 20 years in military service, a cul-ture that relies on honesty and integrity.

….Craig Fitzhugh has spent the past 30 years as a lawyer and politician.

The 2012 Haywood football season was one of close calls, no-table improvement and what-ifs.

Friday's regular sea-son fi nale at Milan in-cluded all three of those themes.

Matched up against a team that's been ranked in the state's top 10 most of the sea-son, Haywood raced to a 21-point lead in the third quarter, watched the lead disappear and then saw a potentially game-tying drive end inside Milan's fi ve-yard line in a 35-28 season-ending loss.

When the playoff brackets came out Sat-urday morning, Hay-wood (3-7) was on the outside looking in.

It appeared as though a win would have got-ten them in at 4-6.

“I looked at the tie-breakers,” Haywood coach Slade Calhoun said. “The worst part about it is that if we would've held on we would have been in the playoffs.”

Milan (8-2) beat Hay-wood 58-27 last year, but as has been the case in most games this year, the Tomcats showed this time around was going to be different.

Already leading 14-7, Haywood got a 35-yard touchdown run from Justice Brown early in the third quarter to give the Tomcats a 21-7 lead.

With 8:01 left in the third, Bryce Young and Martez Comage con-nected on an 85-yard touchdown pass to push the lead to 28-7.

It ended up being the Tomcats' last score.

Milan tied the game with 7:47 left in the game on a Markel Cole-man 50-yard TD run and went ahead 35-28 on a 65-yarder by Cole-man with 3:56 left.

With a little over two minutes left in the game, Haywood got in-

side the two-yard line but a fumble ended the threat and the game.

Earlier in the quarter Haywood got inside the 10, but a fumble ended that drive as well.

“From game one,” Calhoun said, “we just gave games away with careless mistakes.”

Haywood took a 7-0 lead midway through the fourth quarter when Darvis Jarmon scooped up a fumbled punt and went 50 yards for a score.

A three-yard run by Brown, who fi nished with 123 yards on 14 carries, early in the sec-ond quarter gave Hay-wood a 14-0 lead.

Coleman scored be-fore halftime to cut the lead in half. The senior running back provided most of Milan's offense with 282 yards and four touchdowns on 31 carries.

“They started snap-

ping off some long runs in the second half,” Calhoun said. “He's (Coleman) really good … They might've worn us down a little bit in the second half.”

Young, a sopho-more, had another big game, completing 20 of 28 passes for 248 yards and running for 83 more. Quintavious Caldwell caught fi ve balls for 78 yards and

Comage hauled in nine balls for 113 yards.

With several key players returning, Cal-houn said he's opti-mistic about the 2013 season.

“I think this is a good building block for next year,” he said. “Milan is going to win some playoff games for sure. Not many teams can say they were up on Milan 28-7 this year.”

When Deonte Brown was a freshman, because of lack of transportation, if he needed to go somewhere in Browns-ville, his feet got him there.

Two years later, that habit turned into a berth in the state cross country meet.

Thanks to a top 10 fi nish at last weeks' region meet, Brown, now a junior, will run in the Class A-AA meet on Saturday at the Percy Warner Park Steeplechase Course in Nashville.

Last Friday, after doing some hill work on the Hay-wood campus on a chilly af-ternoon, he contemplated his

two-year journey. “I'm real energetic,” said

Brown. “Most people, when it's cold out there like it is to-day, they're not going to want to run. To me, there's more to running. It's like a passion. Some people have a passion to play basketball. It's a pas-sion to me to run.”

When Brown was a fresh-man, his best time on a 3.1-mile cross country course was 21:40.

A year later he cut a minute off that time.

Over the summer before his junior season, he trained on his own and the results were dramatic. He ran a 17:51 earlier this year, less than a minute off the top qualifying time for state this year.

“It's really the student-athlete wanting to do it,” said David Claybrooks, Hay-wood's cross country coach. “Having the dedication. This summer he put in the time and effort without me say-ing, 'Hey, you need to get out

there and run.' He did it on his own. When he showed up in early July, he was in shape … I'm proud of the way he's approached this sport.”

Early this season, coach and runner both began to realize Brown had a chance to make it to Nashville, something a Haywood runner hadn't ac-complished since 2007.

“It was actually our fi rst meet,” Brown said. “I got top 10 and I kind of got it in my head that I might go to state this year because most of those people were in our region.”

Claybrooks began to notice how good Brown's chances were in September.

Brown fi nished 17th at a prestigious meet in Nashville and in the top 115 at a huge meet in Memphis.

“I said, 'This kid has a chance to go to state.' I really had to change his workouts to where his training was set up to do well at regionals and hopefully state.”

Participation on the cross country team has increased, but Claybrooks and Brown are constantly trying to re-cruit new runners.

Brown said he tries to ex-plain to his fellow students that scholarship opportuni-ties are out there for those willing to put in the work.

“I talk to people I know,” Brown said. “Most of them are African-American. I tell them, 'If you're running good, you have a chance to do something in life.'”

Claybrooks said there is a misconception about how much cross country runners run.

“Kids say, 'Man, you guys do a whole lot of running. All you guys do is run all day,'” Claybrooks said. “That's not the case. Deonte can get eight miles in in an hour … I always tell kids just come out and try it for the fi rst two weeks. Just see it. You may like it. You may fall in love with the sport.”

Brown has come a long way in two years

Welcome back home, Pete Boyd from JMCGH. You have been so missed by all of the residents and staff. We are so glad you chose to come back and be with us, your extended family. Lots of love is being shared with you each and every day.

Our residents and staff are praying for a speedy recovery for Carolyn Freeman from her surgery this week. We hope she is back at home with us by the time you read this article. I know she would appreciate a call or a card letting her know you are thinking about her. We love you Ms. Carolyn.

Trick or Treat smell my feet give me something good to eat. I remember saying this when I was young and trick or treating with my sisters and friends. Why would we want to smell some stinky little feet? Oh well, it is still cute when they say it. We had lots of trick or treats this week at our annual trick or treat night. We did change the day since Halloween is on Wednesday. The

residents always love to see the kids and adults in their costumes all dressed up.

With Halloween all wrapped up and put away it is now time to get ready for Thanksgiving. Food, Family and lots of fellowship is what will be happening here. Sugar Creek is getting ready for our family Thanksgiving meal later on this month. It is when the families of our residents come and enjoy some of Alberta’s cooking. Mouth watering turkey and dressing and some homemade pecan pie is what will be served. The staff love working on that night as we get to give the families the Royal treatment like we do the residents everyday.

We have enjoyed some great entertainment over the last week. Lilian Langford played the guitar and sang. David Marbury and 2 or more sang for the residents. David Smith shared his voice with Sugar Creek also this week. Thank you so much for visiting us and entertaining all of our

residents. Jean Black loves for people to come and sing, she knows the words to almost every gospel song they sing. She doesn’t sing loud, but if you are sitting next to her you can hear her sing. Now that is some wonderful music for the soul.

The weather is beginning to get cold, make sure to check on your elderly family, friends and neighbors. From all of the animal loving residents here at Sugar Creek, don’t forget your pets, make sure they have a warm place to sleep each night also.

Please remember we do love your visits, but if you have any of the following symptoms come back when you are feeling better (Headache, sneezing, fever, coughing, n a u s e a / v o m i t i n g , diarrhea, or body aches). Washing your hands with soap and water is the best way to prevent transmitting germs. Protect yourself and get vaccinated with the fl u and pneumonia vaccine. Have a great week everyone.

Thank you volunteers for visiting us this week: CC Club, Beech Grove Church of Christ, Christ Temple Ladies, First Assembly of God Church Ladies, Holly Grove Baptist Church, Willow Grove Baptist Church, Bingo Ladies, Community Temple of the Living Church Ladies.

The Fall Festival around the court square was great. We had a booth and a few of our residents came and seemed to really enjoy themselves. The weather was beautiful!

The entertainment was wonderful. We certainly enjoyed this event.

We had cooking class this week on Tuesday and our ladies enjoyed making peanut butter cookies. Then on Wednesday we had a pizza party. Pizza is a tasty food many of our residents enjoy. October is pizza month.

We extend sympathy to the families of: Mrs. Garnet Henry and Mr. Worth House. They are truly missed.

We welcome Mrs. Shirlene Turner to our facility and hope she

enjoys her stay with us.Thank you to Mrs. Dora

Mann for the bananas she brought and donated for our fruit bingo on Saturday.

Our monthly birthday party for November will be Nov. 1 at 2:00p.m. We wish the following residents a very Happy Birthday: Mrs. Wauline Nelson 11-1, Mr. Grace Winters 11-2, Ms. Barbara Bishop 11-15, Mrs Martha Hendren 11-15.

Thought for the week: All of us, at some point in life, need to take advice and receive help from other people.

Ellis and Genie Taylor hosted their annual family party, for members of Ellis’ extended family, a while back. Their roots are in neighboring Hardeman County. Three generations of cousins came from Memphis, Jackson, Bolivar, Mercer, Nashville, Florence, Alabama and Southaven, Mississippi. Now that is a fabulous family party from everywhere! Love it!

‘Hunting for a Cure’ made it possible for a 16 year old boy who gets around in a wheelchair, to go deer hunting in Haywood County! Dakota Glidewell proudly shot a 13 point buck weighing in at 220#! Three Way Deer Processing, owned by David Tindle donated all the processing for any child who participated in the hunt. About half of the 30 kids who were able to hunt, brought in deer. Lots of them had never hunted before and the excitement and smiles on their faces as they brought in their deer was an outstanding sight to see and be a part of!

More youth who succeeded in the buck hunting were Bond Lonon, son of Mary Margaret and Billy Lonon and Jackson and Everette Pettigrew, son of Jack and Glenda Pettigrew. Donna Nace Hopper actually took her son Braden out and sat in the freezing car while he was in the deer stand! While resting her eyes, she felt someone or something looking at her….a four

point buck was staring at her through the window! Oh, what memories!

Lisa Mann’s sister, Andrea Holt-Hay of Brownsville was inducted into the Nu Lambda Chapter Sigma Theta Tau International Nursing Society on October 25. Her family was honored to attend the Ceremony at Union University, Jackson Campus. Andrea graduated from Baptist Hospital of Nursing in Memphis with her Diploma in 1902 and received her BS Degree in Nursing from Union in December of 2010. She currently holds a 3.7 GPA and plans to graduate with her Masters Degree in Nursing in December of this year. She plans to practice as an FNP locally. Andrea’s parents are Michael Holt of Alamo and Marcia Pruitt of Brownsville. Her husband, Jeff Hay and children Elliot and Drew Hay, are proud of her splendid accomplishments!

Gene and Risa Campbell’s granddaughter, Madison Campbell, a freshman at Coastal College of Georgia, was chosen for the cover of their magazine this month! Coastal College is located in Brunswick, Ga. Wow! What an honor! She looks magnifi cent on the cover! Congratulations Madison!

Cande and Boyd Wright’s daughter, Peyton, just got back from Murfreesboro, where she played in the state

volleyball tournaments with her school, Trinity Christian Academy! This was her 4th appearance at the state tournaments and she played Varsity all four years, from freshman to senior year! They are savoring their awesome daughter’s accomplishments! Way to go Peyton!

David Patrick Sellari has been accepted by the Student Conservation Association! The Student Conservation Association (SCA) is America’s conservation corps. Its members protect and restore national parks, marine sanctuaries, cultural landmarks, and community green spaces in all 50 states. Patrick is now in the Mojave National Preserve in California. Members who serve in SCA’s Conservation Internships and Conservation Corps programs, have the option of joining AmeriCorps for their term of service. He has chosen to join AmeriCorps. AmeriCorps is a national network of programs that engages more than 70,000 Americans each year in intensive service, to meet critical needs in communities throughout the nation. Patrick will work in the Mojave National Preserve through May of 2013 and then go to another national park to serve. Now that is absolutely awesome!

Our Thought for the Week as published in the Upper Room Devotional is by Perry Louden of Tennessee. “Reading the Bible gives us a clearer picture of Christ.” As Perry got older and began to have problems with his vision, his eyes would water from the strain while trying to read. One day in a department store, he saw a display of reading glasses. He tried on a pair of reading glasses and was amazed that he could read the fi ne print on the labels. Just as he needed lenses to correct his physical eyesight, we need a lens to correct our spiritual eyesight. The Bible, the inspired word of God, is the lens we need to get a better picture of Christ.

Aleta Bradford and children of Harmony Baptist would like to say thank you to Lawrence and Mamie Watson for hosting a weenie roast at their home on Friday night, October 26. There were 26 in attendance.

Some of the Mt.

Pleasant children enjoyed a trip to the Pumpkin Patch in Toone on Saturday, October 27 and when they returned to the church they enjoyed a weenie roast and a hayride.

The weather was perfect and there were approximately 48 in attendance. A great time of fellowship was had by all.

The Mt. Pleasant children presented the special music on Sunday, October 28.

I would like to remind everyone the benefi t for Jena Qualls Antwine will be on Saturday, November 3 beginning at 5PM. There will be a supper and a singing featuring David Smith, The Singing Fireman. For more information contact Lavada Martin at 780-5014.

Holly Grove News“People Who Excel

Spiritually are God Centered” was the subject of the message. People can excel in many ways, but those who excel spiritually have to know the gospel. The most important thing in the whole world is the gospel truth about Jesus’ death on the cross to provide lost humanity salvation. To become a Christian is not just to keep one from going to hell, although that’s part of it. When the gospel seed is planted in one’s heart and life, it grows. A person who is genuinely saved is a different person, and their life takes on new meaning in the here and now.

Prior to the services, Logon Overton was baptized. His mother and family were there to share this important phase of his life with him. Jan Outlaw sang a beautiful song for special music.

Happy birthday to Dorsey Watridge, Diane Warren, Dewey Jones, Julie Hopkins, Brandon Moses, Calvyn Beshires, Ryan Sidhom and Matthew Iglesias.

Dr. Billy Graham has never come out in support of a president candidate,

always supporting and ministering to those who won. For the fi rst time, he invited Governor Romney to his home and promised to pray for and support him in every way he could. This is a very serious election, and everyone should take advantage of their freedom to vote. Many countries around the world would be glad to have this freedom.

Kent Byrd is on leave from Washington State where he is stationed. His brother Chris Mullen met Kent and his wife at the airport. Sunday was a special day for his family, as his mother Patty Byrd and grandmother Jewel Overton gathered with other family members to celebrate his being home.

Those on the sick list needing our prayers are Bland Boyd in a Jackson hospital, Betty Doyle, Virginia Taylor, Mary Ann Ballard, Bobby Perry and Ouita Holt. Others are Betty Barden, Mark Stephens, Fletcher Lewis and Jimmy Grammar. Also include Viola Brown, Sharon Davis, Ray Lovelace, Justin Climer, Butch Wilson, Louise Coleman, and Ray and Janie Hight.

It was rather cool last Saturday afternoon, but a crowd of approximately 300 gathered at the Holly Grove Family Life Center for “Trunk and Treat” and seemed to have a wonderful time. The car trunks were opened for children to enjoy the treats that were provided. A cake walk for cupcakes, a hula-hoop contest, face painting and other fun things were enjoyed. Food could be purchased for a minimum price. A large number dressed in costumes, but no scary ones were permitted. Thanks to Brother Ralph Brown for heading it up.

Heath and Julie Hopkins, Hayden and John spent the weekend with Alan and Debbie Jones and attended the trunk and treat Saturday and church at Holly Grove Sunday. Following church services, Pop and Nannie Jones and Lorie joined them for a meal in the local restaurant.

We were excited to learn that the lot across the road from Glenn and Vonda White’s home is being made ready for a new house they are planning to build. That’s a beautiful place for a house.

Dr. Bob Agee shared the Message at Zion Baptist Church Sunday during Dr. Mark McSwain’s absence. Brother Mark and Dottie were in Dallas attending a conference.

Jimmy and I traveled to Jackson Monday to Justin and Britany’s home to celebrate her birthday. Justin grilled and we had cake decorated by Alivia (their two-year old). She did a fantastic job! Thanks to Betty and Monica at Morris’ Jewelers for helping me with a gift for her. I called at lunch and they had it ready when I got off work. She loved it!

Following our Bible Study at Zion Wednesday night, mama and I traveled to Christ Church to spend a little time with granddaughter Lillie Mae Phillips. She was so excited and so were her brothers Mason and Jacob. I think it had something to do with the “light-up pillow” she got as well as money from her granny (Alice Elrod).

I could not get a report concerning the men’s community prayer breakfast Thursday. If anyone would like to join this faithful prayer group, they meet Thursday mornings at

6:00 in Zion’s family life center.

Jessica, Allison, and Sydney Witherspoon as well as mama, Jimmy and I attended the birthday party of Quin Brown (Teresa Elrod’s son) Friday night. Everyone had a great time of family fun and he received way too much for his birthday.

Zion’s Fall Fiesta was a blast Saturday even with the cool weather. They had great chili and a big fi reworks show. Jimmy and I did not attend because October is so full of family get-togethers and there was another one Saturday night. We enjoyed a bonfi re with hotdogs, marshmallows, and homemade chili at the home of Britany’s parents, Blake and Casey Murchison.

Bettye Brooks fi nally returned from Lovett, Texas in time to attend the Fall Festival. She spent a week with her son Tom and his family and they had a wonderful time!

I also did not get to attend the baby shower for Rachel Stewart Sunday afternoon because our oldest grandson Luke Rainey celebrated his sixteenth and we traveled to

Murfreesboro for that. Mama (Alice Elrod) also made the trip with us to join in the fun!

Many of you may already know this, but I did not! Congratulations to Holly White on the birth of her son Koby Todd on October 11th. He weighed 8 lbs. and 1 oz. I just happened to see this on Facebook and confi rmed with the proud grandparents Todd and Delaine Chilcutt.

Zion has raised $1965 toward the “Mark Conway Memorial Scholarship” fund thus far. If you would like to donate to this worthy cause, you can give it through Zion or mail in your donation to the HBA as long as you designate it.

Don’t forget the marriage retreat at the Hilton in Brentwood is November 9th – 11th.

A happy and blessed All Saint’s Day to you all. Since we’ve stuffed ourselves silly with sweets on All Hallow’s Eve yesterday, we can take the time to remember all our family and friends who have passed on before us. Fall is a time to think back and see if we’ve accomplished what we set out to do as winter approaches. Winter will give way to spring and we start the cycle anew.

Life here at the library is slowing down somewhat for the fall and winter. We aren’t offering as many programs as we do in the spring and summer, however, we have some great events coming up. Here is the schedule of events for the month of November.

November 5th is Toddler Time at 11am. All toddlers and their caregivers are invited to

listen to stories, color/craft, and have a light snack. Toddler Time will also be offered on November 19th at 11am as well. We love Toddler Time at the Library!

Tuesday, November 20th at 7pm is Friends Night at the Library. We are fi nalizing our guest speaker plans as we speak, as soon as we have confi rmation, we will let you know. However, we want to encourage everyone to attend this event sponsored by our Friends of the Library Organization. We promise an evening of great information. Light refreshments will be served. The Friends Organization assists the library by raising funds to help purchase materials for the library, and assists in purchasing supplies for programs that are offered, like Gingerbread House Family Night. Please support our

Friends of the Library Organization.

The Elma Ross Public Library will be closed on Thursday, November 22nd and Friday, November 23rd, in observance of the Thanksgiving Holiday. Everyone have a blessed day.

We must say “Thank You” to Kris Phifer for presenting a wonderfully informative program about the American Heart Association for the Lunch & Learn Program last week. The American Heart Association is very busy and it is a wonderful cause. Thank you Kris for being with us and sharing the American Heart Association with us. The library will not be offering Lunch & Learn for the months of November or December. Lunch & Learn will return in January 2013.

Happy Reading!

Well we’ve had the debates and town hall meetings! We’ve watched and heard the commercials on our TVs and radios. Heck, we’ve even viewed ads in our social and print media outlets. In our homes, jobs, and social events we’ve debated, discussed, and argued about our party, candidate, and issues of concern.

In all honesty, having the right and privilege to select our leaders is what makes us great as a nation. On the fl ip

side, the campaigning process with deep social issues can separate our union. I must say that this campaign season, I’ve witnessed some pretty ugly arguments between friends and associates. Whatever happened to people having a right to their own opinions?

Enough of my preaching! I’m writing this article to urge citizens to vote. It (along with paying taxes and serving on appointed councils) is the most direct way that one can participate in our beloved country’s governance.

Voting is one of the fi rst acts of government participation for eighteen year olds. Once a person cast their vote, they have the right to question (or even complain) about how the government is being run. Now, for those that do not cast votes remember one thing, silence gives consent.

So in closing, go to the poll next Tuesday knowing that you can make a difference. Think about it, you voting or not voting will either hire someone (elect), retain someone (re-elect), or fi re someone (defeat of an incumbent).

Voting: Citizen Participation at Its Best

A mortgage is the biggest kind of debt most people will ever face. It is also long-term debt, since the average home loan lasts for 15, 20 or 30 years.That’s why on an investment as big as a house, smart homeowners are constantly looking for ways to minimize their debt and maximize equity, which is where refi nancing comes in.Refi nancing simply means getting a new mortgage to replace your old one with the goal to reduce monthly payments, lower your interest rate, or to take cash out of your home for other purchases (e.g., remodels, college, cars, and vacations).According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, the average American refi nances his or her mortgage every four years – and with good reason, since refi nancing can result in some pretty sweet savings.

Main reasons to refi nance:

Get a lower interest rate – This is the most popular reason to refi nance. It simply means you are swapping a higher interest rate for a lower one, which can save you considerably on your monthly mortgage payments. Example: You have a $250,000 mortgage with a 30-year fi xed rate of 6 percent. Your monthly mortgage payment is approximately $1,500. If after four years of owning your home you refi nanced to a mortgage with an interest rate of 4 percent, your monthly mortgage

payment would be $1,300 – a savings of $200 per month.Build home equity faster – Perhaps your fi nancial standing has changed and you can pay more toward your monthly mortgage payments. Example: Depending on how long you have had your loan, by refi nancing from a 30-year fi xed to a 15-year fi xed, you could greatly reduce your long-term interest charges and pay off your home more quickly. Take cash out – Called cash-out refi nancing, you basically pull equity out of your home in the form of cash, but you add to your principal in the process.

Is refi nancing right for you?

Before you contact a lender, make sure it makes sense for you. Ask yourself these questions:

How long will I be in my home? The general rule is that unless you are planning to stay in your home at least another fi ve years, then refi nancing may not make sense. This is because a refi usually carries closing costs and the costs could outweigh the benefi ts. You usually “break even” at the fi ve-year mark, which means you have paid for the costs to refi nance.What are the costs of the new mortgage? Lenders almost always charge fees for taking out a new loan. These can add up to an average of $5,000 to $10,000, depending on the size of the loan. Charges include application fees, appraisal, origination and insurance fees, plus title search, insurance and legal costs. Unless your new rate is at least a half a percentage point lower than your current

rate, the fees may eat up your potential savings.Will my tax savings be reduced? If you claim mortgage interest on your tax return, refi nancing to a lower rate will mean that you’ll have less mortgage interest to deduct. That means you might have to check with your tax advisor to see if your overall savings will be increased if you refi nance.Can I build equity faster? Opting for a shorter-term mortgage might make sense for someone who can now make greater monthly payments than when they originally fi nanced. Can I reduce my monthly payments? For those whose cash fl ow has changed, refi nancing for a longer term will likely lower your monthly payments. This will increase interest owed, but it could provide relief given a new set of fi nancial considerations.Can I cash out some of my equity? Taking out a new mortgage with a larger principal could provide a cash infusion for a major project or other needs. The advantage is that you can get a lower interest rate than if you used a credit card or an unsecured loan for the cash. This makes sense if the current interest rate is lower than your existing rate.Refi nancing helps many homeowners stay in their homes for less money, or gives them the cash out they desire, but just make sure you do the math and understand how the new loan will affect you.

Submitted by the Haywood County Ambulance Authority

November is national Alzheimer’s disease month so the Haywood County Ambulance Authority would like to pass on some information about the different stages of this disease. There are seven stages of Alzheimer’s that people should be aware of:

Stage 1: No Impairment (Normal Function) - The person does not experience any memory problems. An interview with a medical professional does not show any evidence of symptoms of dementia.

Stage 2: Very mild cognitive decline (may be normal age-related changes or earliest signs of Alzheimer’s disease.) – The Person May feel as if he or she is having memory lapses – forgetting familiar words or the location of everyday objects. But no symptoms of dementia can be detected during a medical examination or friends, family, or co-workers.

Stage 3: Mild cognitive decline (early-stage Alzheimer’s can be diagnosed in some, but not all, individuals with these symptoms) – Friends, family or co-workers begin to notice diffi culties. Common stage 3 diffi culties include:- Noticeable problems coming up with the right word or name- Trouble remembering names when introduced to new people - Having noticeably greater diffi culty performing tasks in social or work settings Forgetting material that one has just read - Losing or misplacing a valuable object- Increasing trouble with planning or organizing

Stage 4: Moderate cognitive decline (Mild or early-stage Alzheimer’s disease) At this point, a careful medical interview

should be able to detect clear-cut symptoms in several areas: - Forgetfulness of recent events - Impaired ability to perform challenging mental arithmetic — for example, counting backward from 100 by 7s - Greater diffi culty performing complex tasks, such as planning dinner for guests, paying bills or managing fi nances - Forgetfulness about one’s own personal history - Becoming moody or withdrawn, especially in socially or mentally challenging situations

Stage 5: Moderately severe cognitive decline (Moderate or mid-stage Alzheimer’s disease) Gaps in memory and thinking are noticeable, and individuals begin to need help with day-to-day activities. At this stage, those with Alzheimer’s may:- Be unable to recall their own address or telephone number or the high school or college from which they graduated - Become confused about where they are or what day it is - Have trouble with less challenging mental arithmetic; such as counting backward from 40 by subtracting 4s or from 20 by 2s- Need help choosing proper clothing for the season or the occasion- Still remember signifi cant details about themselves and their family - Still require no assistance with eating or using the toilet

Stage 6: Severe Cognitive decline (Moderately severe or mid-stage Alzheimer’s disease) Memory continues to worsen, personality changes may take place and individuals need extensive help with daily activities. At this stage, individuals may:- Lose awareness of recent experiences as well as of

their surroundings - Remember their own name but have diffi culty with their personal history- Distinguish familiar and unfamiliar faces but have trouble remembering the name of a spouse or caregiver - Need help dressing properly and may, without supervision, make mistakes such as putting pajamas over daytime clothes or shoes on the wrong feet - Experience major changes in sleep patterns — sleeping during the day and becoming restless at night - Need help handling details of toileting (for example, fl ushing the toilet, wiping or disposing of tissue properly) - Have increasingly frequent trouble controlling their bladder or bowels - Experience major personality and behavioral changes, including suspiciousness and delusions (such as believing that their caregiver is an impostor)or compulsive, repetitive behavior like hand-wringing or tissue shredding - Tend to wander or become lost

Stage 7: Very severe cognitive decline (Severe or late-stage Alzheimer’s disease) In the fi nal stage of this disease, individuals lose the ability to respond to their environment, to carry on a conversation and, eventually, to control movement. They may still say words or phrases.

At this stage, individuals need help with much of their daily personal care, including eating or using the toilet. They may also lose the ability to smile, to sit without support and to hold their heads up. Refl exes become abnormal. Muscles grow rigid. Swallowing impaired.

Preparing Your Water Pipes for WinterEvery winter, many homeowners face the expense and incon-venience of frozen water pipes - make sure you're not one of them by taking a few simple precautions.

Disconnect and drain outdoor hoses. Detaching the hose allows water to drain from the pipe so an overnight freeze doesn't burst the faucet or the pipe its con-nected to. Insulate pipes or faucets in unheated areas.
