District Attorney to crack down on Bath SaltsBY: CALVIN CARTER
It may not have been his fi rst time in Brownsville or Haywood County, but Representative Craig Fitzhugh was at least aiming to make this visit a memorable one.
Fitzhugh, who is now the Tennessee State Representative for Haywood County, along with Lauderdale and Crockett County, held two town-hall meetings last Wednesday June 6 in Haywood County. One took place later in the evening in Stanton, while earlier that day, Fitzhugh spoke at the Brownsville-Haywood County Chamber of Commerce.

Pictured is the Haywood County Parks And Recreation pool. Normally by now, residents would be beating the heat by splashing away in the pool. Currently however, it’s getting some work done.
DC Construction is working on the pool along with Brewer Pools out of Memphis, which
has needed some work for quite some time. The summer attraction has suffered from concrete on the edges of the pool, breaking off and falling into the pool.
The pool has also needed some work on the parts that regulate water usage, as well as installing a new handrail.
In addition, thanks
to regulations from the American Standard For Disabilities, the pool will also have to get a new lift chair, which will cost $6,000.
The city and county gave a total of $70,000 to the Parks And Recreation Department towards the repair project.
The aim is to have construction done and pool open by July 2.
Work on pool continues
Pictured above are four generations of the Duckworth family celebrating the retirement of Brownsville native, Master Gunnery Sergeant Aaron D. Duckworth, at the Blount Island Marine Base in Jacksonville, Florida during the Memorial Day weekend. John and Bettye Duckworth, pictured with their great-grandson were joined by other family members and friends from Brownsville and throughout the country for the retirement of their youngest son.
Master Gunnery
Sergeant Duckworth entered the US Marine Corp on August 10, 1982 and served with distinction for 30 years. He has served in California, Okinawa, Japan, New Orleans, Panama, Kuwait, Camp Lejune, and Jacksonville, Florida. Among his, many awards were the Meritorious Service Medal with “Gold Star,” Navy Commendation Medal with three “Gold Stars,” the Navy Achievement Medal, Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, The Southwest Asia Service Medal
and the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal. Upon his retirement, he also received a presidential citation from President Barack Obama. He is married to the former Mary Elizabeth Spain of Mobile, Alabama and is the father of three children, Ayashia, Brandon, and Alexis, and the grandfather of one, Jayden. He plans to remain in Jacksonville during his retirement, but will visit his father, and grand-father, beloved INSOUTH retiree, John Duckworth Sr of Friendship Road, Brownsville.

A local Brownsville factory has been accused of some toxic history.
Haywood Company, which is owned by Teknor Apex Tennessee was notifi ed that that the Tennessee Clean Water Network TCWN was going to sue the business after being accused of discharging carcinogenic pollutants into Little Nixon Creek which breaks
into the South Forked Deer River.
Before TCWN could fi le their lawsuit, the Tennessee Department of Conservation decided to fi le their lawsuit accusing the plant of pollution.
According to the Commercial Appeal, the company has had pollution problems from at least 2004, when TDEC gave them a notice
of violation. In 2005 through 2008, three state inspections ended with unsatisfactory ratings for permit compliance. Another notice of violation was issued from the state in March 2011.
It has been said however, that Haywood Company is currently correcting the pollution claims.
There will be more on this story as it develops.

Two 4-H’ers from Haywood County will receive intensive training in their project area(s) at the University of Tennessee.
Emma Kendrick and Quinton Douglas are delegates to the State Junior High 4-H Academic Conference in Knoxville, June 12-15.
They will be among 160 youth selected on the basis of their 4-H project work. They will study under the supervision of university scientists and specialists during the four-day program.
The conference is conducted in classroom,
outdoor and laboratory settings.
“Participants get an in-depth look at college course work required in the areas of animal science, plant and soil science, and family and consumer science,” said Steve Sutton, Director of 4-H Youth Development with the University of Tennessee Extension.
“The program also explores career opportunities in the fi elds related to the members’ project interests,” he said.
In addition to subject matter training, the conference features an opening program by the Tennessee 4-H
Performing Arts Troupe, recreational activities on campus, service-learning activities in the Knoxville community, a graduation banquet and an afternoon at Dollywood.
The event is sponsored by the gifts from donors with an interest in agriculture, family and consumer sciences and other related areas.
The 4-H program is the youth development component of UT Extension and is also the state’s largest youth organization. With more than 306,000 participants statewide, 4-H is available to young people in every Tennessee County.
Local 4-H’ers selected for Academic Conference
The annual Stanton Homecoming took place Saturday, June 2 at the historic Stanton Lodge of Free and Old School.
The reunion serves as an opportunity for families that use to or do live in the Stanton area to share in memories and fellowship. It’s also a way to honor the memories of others.
This year’s memorials were: Carnell Pepper, Maxine Hicks English, Elizabeth Worley, Nancy Kincaid, Minnie Winberry, Bobby Davis, Bill Cox, Norman Kee, Jimmy Lewis Jones, Doug Black, Phil Yarbrough, John Venters, Sylvia Morales, Elizabeth Pepper Keistler, Rex Bond and Emory Wagner.
There’s a lot of history involved with the Stanton Lodge and Old School.
The Stanton Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons built the Stanton Lodge
and Old School in 1872 as their meeting place and a school for the community children. W.P. Taylor, J.E. Douglass and G.G. Ware purchased the land from the Haywood County Sheriff in July 1871 from an estate sale.
Last Saturday’s homecoming mirrored the fi rst celebratory action held by the trio when the building was fi rst bought. They held a big barbecue.
L.D. Price was the fi rst worshipful master, while Joe D. Crafton was the fi rst schoolmaster. The Mason also paid tuition for those unable to afford fees.
For one hundred and forty-one years, the building served a multitude of purposes besides a school. Baptist, Methodists and Church of Christ members have used it for worship. Various dances, parties
and meetings have called the business home at one point or another.
The building became especially useful as the place for the annual Stanton Homecomings, which
began in 1986. Serving as a kind of community “family-reunion” for numerous Stanton native generations, this year’s Homecoming also served as a fundraiser for the
building.After all, it has survived
deterioration from time and storms. The Center for Historical Preservation at Middle Tennessee State University reported, in
1986 that the building was structurally sound and of historic signifi cance.

community block grant that will help with storm draining. The fi rst step with the grant will be acquiring engineers to look at the city’s storm water and drain systems to come up with an assessment of priority
areas.Mayor Matherne
added, the city is still a little ways off from the fi rst step happening.
And fi nally, the city has also been approved for a $500,000 Fast Track grant to improve fi re
fl ows in the Industrial Park. The Brownsville Energy Authority will provide a $70,000 match for the grant. The city does not pay or match anything.

training for students.“There are jobs out
there for people but they aren’t trained for them,” he said.
In short, it’s safe to say that Fitzhugh hoped that people left not only with a proper introduction
but, with knowledge that he will do right by them.
“One reason we’re called representatives is that we vote in the state house. Believe it or not, the things that we vote on probably have more
direct effect on citizens here than sometimes even the local level—city and county—and certainly more than the national level,” he said. “…I have to vote for you.”
FITZHUGH continued
pressure, possible kidney failure, and suicidal thoughts.
“The substances are cheap, addictive, extremely potent and sometimes fatal,” Brown said.
And their use in the state and nation are constantly growing. In 2010, the American Association Of Poison Control Centers received 300 calls regarding bath salts. In 2011, that call increased to 6,000.
While Brown explained that Tennessee lawmakers have worked to outlaw the latest version of the drugs, producers of these
substances constantly alter the chemical contents of the products to circumvent law efforts.
Legislators are trying to take a more big-picture approach now concerning the drugs. There have already been dozens of supported undercover law enforcement stings on convenience stores throughout the state, which have resulted in criminals being brought to trial and large quantities of synthetic drugs being confi scated.
“My fellow district attorneys and I supported our legislators
in addressing the present shortcomings in the law. Through several bills recently signed by Gov. Bill Haslam, the penalties regarding synthetic drugs will increase whether offenders are selling, possessing or ingesting synthetic drugs,” Brown said. “The defi nition of synthetic drugs will also be expanded to include all possible synthetic derivatives. These efforts will stiffen the penalties for infractions, as well as eliminate the weakness in the substance defi nition, which producers of synthetic drugs previously abused.”

Brownsville continues to keep its musical heritage alive with Concert on the Porch. The summer music series features local and regional artists performing from the porch of the Sleepy John Estes home on the grounds of the West Tennessee Delta Heritage Center. The fi rst concert of the season is Saturday, June 16, at 7 p.m.. Concerts are presented each month on the third Saturday, June through September, and are free to the public.
Starting off this year’s series is local talent Kelsey Byars. Byars began singing in church when she was only 3-years-old. She is now known for her singing throughout the community; continuing to sing regularly at church, school, weddings, private gatherings and events. Byars placed second in the 2011 Haywood’s Got Talent competition and plays clarinet in the Haywood High School Marching Band. She
will perform a variety of rhythm and blues melodies when she opens for this year’s fi rst Concert on the Porch at 7 p.m.
Headlining the June 16 concert is Music Highway Band. This band was organized in Jackson, Tenn., in 2001 by Jimmy Stephenson, a longtime rockabilly and country artist. The original trio played many years at the Rockabilly Hall of Fame as the house band. By 2004, the band had added members, become well diversifi ed and was capable of performing many styles of music. In mid-2005, the group became the house band at the Huntingdon Hayride, at the Dixie Carter Performing Arts Center.
Today, the Music Highway Band continues to work many venues in the area and has worked with such legendary artists as Carl Mann and Eddie Bond. Current members of the band are Stan Brunner, Sammy Wood, Jimmy
Webb, Donald Carp, Gary Spraggins and Jimmy Stephenson. They will share their special style of rockabilly and country June 16 beginning around 7:45 p.m.
Attendees are invited to bring lawn chairs or blankets for the outdoor concerts, Drinks and snacks will be available for purchase. All proceeds from concessions will go toward the restoration of Flagg Grove School, the childhood school of Tina Turner that was recently moved to the Center.
The West Tennessee Delta Heritage Center is a tourist information center and home to three regional museums depicting the history and culture of the West Tennessee people. Inside visitors will fi nd the Cotton Museum, the West Tennessee Music Museum and the Hatchie River Museum.

Off the Beaten Path
“A little child shall lead them” is a portion of Isaiah 11:6 that I have read many times. Each time I read it, new insights are gained.
The passage always reminds me of the knowledge, honesty, and observations that can be found in these young and innocent minds. This consensus comes after years of work in the fi eld with children and youth. Some very profi table results have also come from actual family experiences.
Many valuable lessons regarding children have taken place in our household with the upbringing of almost a dozen children at one time or another.
Recently, one of the men of our household lost a pair of glasses. He and his younger son spent more than an hour searching for the spectacles with no luck when they decided to mark it of as a lost cause.
About and hour or so later, the father decided that his glasses had vanished from the face of the earth but he hesitantly gave it one more chance. Again he asked his son about the whereabouts of his glasses.
The grandson, not yet three years old, who had watched the course of the search throughout the process quickly
responded, “There they are.” The grandfather asked, “Where?” The grandson offered direction by pointing his fi nger and said, “Right there.” The grandfather looked under the table in front of the sofa and surely enough there were the glasses. They apparently had fallen off the table and went unnoticed during the search.
I’ve wondered how the situation would have changed that day had the little fellow been questioned at the beginning of the search.
Why did no one ask him? Think about it. The only one in the room who knew the answer was never approached. Two important lessons were learned from this experience. First and foremost, children seem to know far more than we think. This could be possible because we do not or cannot, for whatever reason, spend enough time observing our children.
After the escapade with the glasses, I observed this little fellow at work and his actions constantly held my attention. I realized that he observed very carefully those around him and is a very quick learner.
On one occasion, he picked up some body
lotion from a table and proceeded to get the lid in position to open the bottle and abstract just the right amount of lotion to cover his body. He knew exactly when to stop.
Later on, he moved over to a dresser and picked up some wipes and started the process of cleaning every picture frame and dresser drawer within reach. Sometimes his work was interrupted by a cell phone ring. His grandmother could not hear the phone ringing. He paused for a moment, yelled with a very loud voice, “Ring, ring, ring,” and went back to his cleaning.
In the situations just described, the most likely parental response might have been to take the bottle of lotion from the child’s hand and place the bottle out of reach of those little hands. Possibly the same action would have been taken regarding the wipes.
I do not condemn such parental action, but without putting children in harm’s way, there are some things we can learn about our children just by watching. I learned that a two-year old can learn how to get lotion out of a bottle by pure observation and how to use a wipe successfully as a glass cleaner and dust cloth.
A little child shall lead them
“Advertising,” said my lovely young wife with scorn on her face. “Advertising,” she said again.
We were eating an early dinner with the girls at the Bonefi sh Grill in Memphis, and three different young women (early to mid 20’s) had walked by our table, one at a time, wearing what appeared to be offi ce attire except for their skirts. Their skirts were about the size of beer snuggies. Micromini skirts, I think they are called.
“What’s going on?” I asked, as the third one walked past our table, and that’s when my wife made the “advertising” comment.
“Do you realize your new bathing suit is as long as those skirts are?” I asked.
“Yes,” she said with something close to disgust in her voice. “Stop looking!”
“I’m wasn’t looking,” I protested.
“Yes you were,” she retorted. “I saw you checking them out.”
“I wasn’t checking them out,” I said defensively. “I’m just amazed. Their outfi ts look so conservative except for the skirts. Did they come here from work?”
“How so you even sit down in a skirt that short?” she said. “Don’t they have mothers?”
The answer, of course, is yes, they probably do, but no one listens to parents about fashion matters. How else can you explain the horrible trashy looking fashion trends so much in evidence these days?
Of course, we were in a restaurant, and maybe they were going to a club or party later on, but more and more, you see such clothing in the workplace.
But that may be changing. With the economy like it is, it has suddenly become a boss’s world, and bosses don’t like for women to dress like that. Dressing like that will not advance their careers; it will, in fact, hold them back, regardless of where they work or what kind of work they do.
But if you’re a woman, don’t expect your boss to tell you such things. He or she won’t, partly for fear of some sort of lawsuit, but mostly because it’s just too personal to talk about.
Even your best friends will be reluctant to be frank when asked, “How does this look?” or “Can
I get away with wearing this at work?”
So, as a public service, I’ll tell you.
Let’s start with the two areas that provoke the most complaints and criticism about what women wear to work. First, cleavage. How much is too much?
And the answer is, “At work, any is too much.” Period. Provocative clothing may be fi ne in all sorts of situations and places, but it is a pretty good bet that your workplace is not one of them.
Which brings up the subject of skirt or dress length. Women’s hemlines have historically gone up and down, and very few women even wear dresses and skirts anymore, but if you wear one to work, it should be at least long enough to reach past the tips of your fi ngers when your arms are at your sides. And that’s the extreme upper limit.
Clothing made from see through fabrics like organza or liquid jersey may look fabulous, but the workplace is no place to show it off. Same thing with sun dresses, spaghetti straps, camisoles, tank tops and fl ip fl ops. Unless you work at a beach or a bar, you probably don’t need to wear them to work.
Why, you ask, can you not dress the way you want to? Because the boss doesn’t like it. Regardless of how fantastic you may look in an outfi t, if it is too revealing, you won’t be taken seriously when you are wearing it. Or even worse, you will.
And don’t blame the person making the mistake. Remember, if people at work focus on your clothes for the wrong reason, you’re wearing
the wrong clothes. If you’re serious about your job, don’t show up in shorts, workout gear, bare midriff blouses, low rise pants or “Elvira” length fi ngernails. Modesty is still a virtue in the workplace. Study after study has shown that women who wear “sexy” clothing at work are taken less seriously, promoted less frequently and routinely evaluated as less intelligent, regardless of their performances, than are those women who dress conservatively.
And cleanliness is still next to godliness, at least in the workplace. Forget about being green; better you should be clean. And so should your clothes. Believe me when I tell you that other people will notice every wrinkle and stain.
If you don’t take your appearance seriously, your boss won’t take you seriously. If you look sloppy or casual, people will assume you’re not serious about your work. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that if you’re doing your work well, how you look doesn’t matter. Nothing could be further from the truth. The truth is that people judge you by your appearance, and anyone, short, tall, large or small, can look neat and clean. That, and doing a good job, is what every employer wants.
Even so, almost no one, neither your boss nor your coworkers, will tell you your appearance is holding you back, that you are wearing inappropriate clothes to work. It’s just too personal.
But you can bet they’ll tell everyone else behind your back.
Will they ever! I guarantee it.
Dressing the Part
Last Saturday was a busy one right?
Summers in Haywood County are no joke when it comes to events. With the warm weather, ample timing, and children out of school it’s no surprise that just about every weekend features an event. And some weekend days feature several.
While that defi nitely held true last Saturday. Perhaps, the top draw that day was Relay For Life, which after many years, was back for the fi rst time.
For the past couple of years, the weather hasn’t always been agreeable with the annual event. And that’s been a shame, as it’s been known to draw in a crowd that could almost rival the Hatchie Fall Festival.
Despite some threatening clouds, the weather held out for this year’s event. Relay also switched locations from the Haywood High School Football Field to the court square area.
It was a change that probably took residents a bit of time to properly
adjust. Still this year’s event seemed to go off without any major hitches. And considering the numerous events taking place on that day—fi shing rodeo, Stanton Homecoming—Relay still managed to draw a signifi cant crowd. In fact, it seemed that as day turned into night, the crowd only grew.
While I’m use to Relay taking place on the fi eld, I’ve got to admit that this year’s event on court
square area was kind of a nice change of pace, almost as if it was trying to act like the sister of the Hatchie Fall Festival.
Still, I did get the impression that people were a bit surprised at the location, and maybe this feeling will change for next year. Well, that’s if it’s decided that Relay will take place in the same area next year. That’s up for committee members as well as the city to decide.

“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Phil 3:13-14 The idea of pressing here is like saying I bear down. Paul is speaking as if he is a runner and he is chasing after his goal. I get a picture of someone stealing your wallet and you are chasing after him at full speed, getting closer and closer straining and striving to reach out and grab him.This is a very different idea of the Christian life than those who say, “Let go and Let God” isn’t it? For Paul, it isn’t good enough to say, “Oh well no one is perfect.” No, the believer desires to be perfect and he strives toward the goal. Just because you have been justifi ed, does not mean that now you can stop striving for the goal. That is not the Christian life.

Zion Baptist fi nished their Amazing Wonders Aviation with an average attendance of ninety-fi ve. Thanks to Robin Johnson and all the workers for a great week of VBS where children learned about an awesome God with amazing power!
Jessica Witherspoon, Belinda Potter, Jimmy, and I attended Harmony’s Homecoming Sunday with guest speaker Paul Riddle, pastor of Highland Park Baptist Church in Jackson. Pastor Grover Westover sang “Three Rusty Nails” which went along with Brother Paul’s sermon taken from Luke 9 and various other New Testament Scriptures. Jesus never said it would be easy to follow Him.
I also enjoyed seeing the “Pastor’s Pals” with Brother Butch leading the children and Mr. Bennie Morrison’s Junior Choir where I was a member and then my children from way back. Since Mr. Bennie doesn’t seem to change as he ages, Brother Paul wanted to know where his time machine was! Thanks to Lisa Conway for covering for me in Bible Study Class at Zion so that we could attend.
Following our Summer Schedule at
Zion, Sunday night was “Others Matter” with emphasis on outreach as Sunday school teachers hosted fellowship events with guests.
Brother Mark McSwain has begun a study of “Miracles in Mark” on Wednesday nights at Zion. Kingdom work requires readiness, compassion, and urgency fi rst! If you do not have a church home, we would love for you to give Zion a try!
Allen Outlaw reported ten attended the men’s community prayer breakfast with Brother Bill Kendrick leading the devotion. If anyone would like to join this faithful group of men, they meet Thursday mornings at 6:00 in Zion’s family life center.
Brother Mark and Dottie had Zion’s deacons and wives over for dinner Friday night. She said all showed up and they had a wonderful time of fellowship. Zion is truly blessed!
Alice Elrod (Mama) attended the “Relay for Life” events Saturday while the Highway 70 Yard Sale was taking place. She stopped by our house on the way and visited for awhile. We enjoyed visiting with many folks and were able to rid ourselves of
someone else’s treasure. Special thanks goes to our son Jason for coming every day to help his dad and to Justin for helping with the yard work.
Congratulations to Morgan Reeves who traveled to Lebanon for state offi cer training for her school. She is the West Tennessee Vice President of Tennessee HOSEA.
C o n g r a t u l a t i o n s to three of our grandchildren that received baseball trophies. Lillie was on the fi rst place team in T-ball and she and Jacob received trophies Thursday night. Mason was on the fi rst place team in Dixie Youth and made all-star team as well. Closing ceremonies were held Saturday in Brownsville for the boys.
Jessie and Norma have truly enjoyed watching their grandchildren play ball as well. Hayleigh is still playing.
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.

Allen NewsSunday was a great
day at Allen as Coach Ernie Jackson, who is football coach at Haywood Middle School and freshman coach at Haywood High, spoke and gave his testimony. His wife, Ashley, sang the call to worship and the special music. Thanks to both of them for being ready, willing and able as God leads. We were so thankful to have all the visitors in attendance from his football teams, along with their families.
Allen also honored our senior graduates and their families, including Dalton Byrd (Crockett Christian), AliJarrett Campbell (Crockett County), Hunter Coulston (Christian Homeschool Association) and Caleb Kendrick (Haywood High). The church presented gifts to the graduates and served them and their families lunch in the Family Life Center. The meal was
prepared by Gourmet Your Way. Thanks for all the hard work that went into decorating, serving and cleaning up by Marcia Killen, Iris Byrd, Debra Jackson, Sandra Lovelace and Dawn Lovelace.
Vacation Bible School is in full swing this week at Allen. Thanks to everyone who helped with VBS and allowed us to serve, minister and present Christ to so many children this week. Thanks, as well, to all who donated snacks and food, especially E.W. James. We appreciate their generous contributions.
The last mission meeting was held at the Fayette Baptist Mission Center in Somerville this past Saturday night. Allen had a great group attend, and they are ready to go and serve the Cherokee in Tahlequah, Oklahoma on June 23. We still need canned good donations through Sunday, June 17
if you can help.My grandson Julian
is playing in the TGA Junior Golf Tour, and so far, he has placed in every tournament. He is becoming quite the little golfer, and he truly enjoys it. Good luck, Jude, in the rest of the tour.
Happy Birthday to Emma Dew, Morgan Hendrix, Carolyn Pyron, Cleve Hicks and Gene Laster.
On our prayer list are Charley West, Josephine Willis, Ione Turner, Ernest Lytle, Peggy Canady and Carolyn Danley.
Our Bible verse for this week is I Samuel 16:7, which states, “….For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

As summer gets into full swing, many people are riding their four wheelers. At the recently held Cotton Scout School, crop consultants were reminded of the importance to operate scouting vehicles such as four wheelers with respect and a safety fi rst approach.
In the Spring edition of Family Ties (A University of Tennessee Family & Consumer Sciences Newsletter) Environmental Health Specialist, Bonnie Hinds reported that Tennesseeranks near the top of the nation in all-terrain vehicle (ATV) fatalities. Now, some would argue that given the predominance of rural areas in our state, we would have a higher rate of ATV fatalities. Hinds provided the following data fromatvsafety.gov that revealed the incidence of ATV deaths between the years of 1982 and 2010 (the site cautions to be mindful that 2007-2010 data is incomplete):
ATV Fatalities by State:#1 – California (588
fatalities)#2 – Texas (565
fatalities)#3 – West Virginia (546
fatalities)#4 – Pennsylvania (521
fatalities)#5 – Kentucky (499
fatalities)#6 – Florida (465
fatalities)#7 – Tennessee (432
fatalities)#8 – North Carolina
(393 fatalities)#9 – New York (377
fatalities)#10 – Michigan (356
fatalities)
The health specialist went on to report that in 2009, 649 Americans suffered ATV fatalities, and almost 132,000 Americans were treated for ATV injuries in hospital Emergency Rooms.
While states are concerned over and hope to prevent all ATV fatalities, they are particularly troubled by ATV deaths among children. Hinds also reported Tennessee lost nine children, aged 17 and under, to ATV deaths in 2009. Those nine deaths represent 13 percent of all motor vehicle related deaths to children and one percent of all deaths to children and youth, from birth through age 17 in Tennessee.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that children under the age of 16 refrain from operating ATVs, although state law does not prohibit the practice, and ATV use is common among Tennessee children and youth. Those parents who choose to ignore AAP guidelines and allow their children and younger teens access to ATVs should familiarize themselves and their families with these safety messages from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission:
ENROLL in a hands-on ATV safety course. Parents and children should attend TOGETHER. The ATV Safety Institute
features age-appropriate online trainings, also free, at their website: http://www.atvsafety.org.
PROHIBIT children from driving or riding adult-sized vehicles. If a child will be operating or riding on an ATV, it should be a child-sized ATV. Many fatalities and serious injuries are the result of children attempting to operate oversized vehicles.
DEMAND that ATV riders wear protective gear at all times. Helmets are essential, as head injuries are common and potentially fatal. Gloves, goggles, and chest gear also provide important protection.
LIMIT ridership to one. Most ATVs are designed for a single rider. Multiple riders on a single rider vehicle signifi cantly increase the likelihood of injury or death.
RESTRICT ATVs to off-road locations. ATVs are constructed specifi cally for rough terrain and are diffi cult to control on pavement. Tennessee state laws also prohibit ATV use on highways, with the exception of crossing.
FAMILIARIZE children with the areas in which they will ride, identifying potential hazards, such as holes, fences, gravel, puddles, etc.
S U P E R V I S E , SUPERVISE, and SUPERVISE.

Holly Grove News“Days to Remember”
was the subject of the message. In America, we have some monumental dates to remember. Passover was one of those occasions for the Jewish people, when the death angel sent from God passed over the homes of God’s people where the blood was on their doorpost. That was looking forward to the coming of Jesus Christ, who would shed His blood on a cross for us. The most important date in a believer’s life is when they accepted Christ as Savior and was saved for eternity. Dewey and I had the pleasure, years ago, to celebrate the Passover meal with Mr. Morton and Miss Marion Felsenthals, along with Rev. and Mrs. Earl Wells and Dr. Chapman. It was a wonderful experience.
Brother Ralph Brown sang “In a Land Where We’ll Never Grow Old” for special music. We older people like that song. The VBS is in progress at Holly Grove Church for the children on days and the
youth at night.Happy Birthday to
Patricia Rains, Rebekah Hopper, Jennifer Stephens, Selena Johnson, Pam Iglesias, Joseph Maddox and Mary Mangrum. Happy Anniversary to Phil and Peggy Emison, Greg and Beth Baker and Ricky and Kathy Hopper.
Thanks to Mark Stephens for helping me pick up limbs in the yard and to Jay Hopper for coming and plowing our garden. They are topnotch young men.
Ricky and Kathy Hopper drove to Phoenix, Ala last week to visit several days with their son Timothy and his wife Rachel and their daughters Ella Grace and Ava Elizabeth. Ella Grace accompanied them home.
Those on the sick list this week are Ruth Taylor, Linda Hayes, Betty Doyle, Debbie Jones, Lloyd Taylor and Ouita Holt. We rejoice with Patricia Simmons who received a good report, no treatments for her. Others are Bland Boyd, Dewey Jones, Dottie
Taylor, Ray Lovelace, Annalee Myers, Jimmy Graham and Charlie Roland. Also include Perry Watridge, Velma Baker, Harold Castleman, Polly Kimberly, Bianka Kail, Dorsey Watridge, Viola Brown and Leland Simpson.
We express sympathy to Lynn Fulbright in the death of her brother.
The infamous founder of American Atheism, Madalyn Murray O’Hair’s son William tells of his life and growing up in his family in a book entitled, “My Life Without God.” She took her little son William and was instrumental in taking prayer out of schools. When William confessed Jesus Christ as his Savior, she told him that she wished abortion was legal when she was carrying him, that he was beyond human forgiveness. Mrs. O’Hair, another son and her granddaughter were killed by another confessed atheist a number of years ago.
Sugar CreekRetirement Center News

Sugar Creek News is back! I must apologize for missing the last few weeks. Lots going on and I just ran out of time. I have lots to tell you about so let’s get going.
Jack’s head is fi nally healed there is no trace of his dancing on his head a few weeks back. Margaret Ann did a bang up job keeping his wound clean and bandaged. She does love her Jack and so do we.
Saturday, Anna J came and called bingo. She is such fun. Jack and Margaret Ann left the Relay for Life so not to miss bingo with her. Everyone just loves Anna J.
Jessie H. has this really cool book that shows National days of recognition for different things. We’ve enjoyed National Donut Day and National Flag Day so far this month. Coming up this week is National Fudge Day, so we will get to enjoy Hot Fudge Sundaes. The residents are already sweet, but after all
these days they will be just oozing with sugar.
Friday the residents enjoyed their Banana Split social. Everyone that came ate and fellowshipped with all their friends. Thank you to our dietary staff for always cleaning up after our socials. We do love you all.
If you didn’t come out to Relay you missed a great event. Wonderful music played all day. The smell of delicious food was in the air. All the games were such fun for kids of all ages. Thanks to HomeChoice for letting us use their tent and to Russ Stoots for putting it up for us. The Southwest Jail was really nice. I had a wonderful experience with the Judge and his court. Some precious little Dixie girl softball players decided Ms. Dede needed to be put in jail. Thanks to a wonderful boss lady for bailing me out. I will be good from now on I promise.
Kenny and his team did a wonderful job. People don’t understand the time
that has to be put in to volunteering for such a big event. It takes an army of volunteers that give up months of their own personal time to put on the Relay. It is truly worth it. Great Job!! Oh and the Fireworks were pretty AWESOME!!
We had early voting for our residents this week. They are always so nice to come and get our votes so our residents don’t have to get out. We appreciate all of you.
Fathers Day is Sunday, so make sure you celebrate all our fathers. We’ve had some pretty terrifi c dads that have come through our Sugar Creek doors. Some have gone on to their home in Heaven and others are still with us. May God Bless each of our Dads on Father’s Day and everyday.
Remember we are just down the street from everywhere, so come on by for a visit. We can rock on the front porch and sip on some sweet tea. What are you waiting for?

Around TownRelay for Life was
a massive success last weekend! A gigantic round of applause for every volunteer who was involved in making this event the celebration it should be! Kenny Ellington, Peggy Donaldson, committee chairmen and members, sponsors, donators, bakers, performers, Rescue Squad, Fire Dept., States Graphic, fundraisers, the community, but…most of all…the Survivors… were the massive strength behind the entire event. Not a raindrop in sight! It was a magnifi cent day, a dazzling evening and a fi reworks fi nale! Perfect!
Bubba and Mary Ann Pennel are ecstatic about their scoop! Their son, Ryan and his wife, Heather have moved to Brownsville from East Memphis!

Everyone has been so warm and welcoming to them! Mary Ann and Bubba will love having them in town! Now that’s thrilling news!
A scrumptious bit of scoop! Jim McAdam’s nephew, Andy Hillis, was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals this week! How awesome! Congratulations Andy!
David and Kathy Cook
have been having the time of their lives with all the amazing little ‘happies’ of their children! They drove to Nashville to have brunch at their daughter Rachel’s, in-laws (Babs and Bill Freeman) home. Rachel, Bob, Katie, Bob’s two brothers, Mike and Harvey, were there along with Adam and his fi ancée, Julie (who were video streamed into the party). They were all gathered to watch big sister Katie, cut the Baby #2 cake, letting all know for the fi rst time, whether Rachel and Bob’s October baby, will be a girl or a boy! Katie told them the cake would be pink for a baby sister and she was absolutely correct! Kudos to Rachel and Bob!
School is out and the Jameson women are on the move! Jane (the Alpha Female), Mary, Martha Jane, and Patsy spent Memorial Day weekend at Perdido Beach resort at Gulf Shores, Al. This is their favorite beach locale anywhere and they reported the sand was gleaming white and the ocean was clear blue! Harriett is spending a mini-semester in Vicenza, Italy, working on her Masters in Landscape Architecture at U VA She is studying and drawing different examples of European architecture found in that area and absorbing stimulating culture. Patsy is soon departing for a three week People to People trip. She
and her cousin, Walker Thornton, will travel to France, Switzerland, Austria and Italy! Oh, my gosh! That is totally fantastic! No wonder Richard has such an outstanding family life!
Joe and Susan Sills returned from a trip to the Smokies where they appreciated the cool mountain air and touring. Joe then traveled to Murray, Kentucky, where he was Band Director from 1972-1978 and was honored at the Murray High Band 35th Anniversary of their winning the 1977 Marching Bands of America Grand National Championship in Whitewater, Wisconsin. Over 150 former band members were in attendance. A display at the Western Kentucky State Museum in Wrather Hall, on the Murray State University Campus, has been set up to honor this achievement! What a terrifi c story! Marvelous work, Joe Sills!
Jody and Jeanna Lea recently took a mini trip to Murfreesboro to attend the Annual Tennessee Funeral Directors Association meeting. They had an incredible time at numerous informative seminars and the Exhibit Show, in order to keep up-to-date with the times, in their business. I hope they got some ‘us’ time in there too!

Do you know what today, Thursday, June 14th is? Today is Flag Day. Here is some history from the national Flag Day Foundation website, http://www.nat iona l f lagday.com about the celebration of our National Flag. On June 14th, 1885, Bernard J. Cigrand, a 19 year old teacher at Stony Hill School, placed a 10 inch, 38- star fl ag in a bottle on his desk then assigned essays on the fl ag and its signifi cance. This observance, commemorated Congresses
adoption of the Stars and Stripes as the fl ag of the United States on June 14, 1777. This observance was also the beginning of Cigrand’s long years of fervent and devoted effort to bring about national recognition and observance of Flag Day. The crowning achievement of his life came at age fi fty when President Wilson, on May 30, 1916, issued a proclamation calling for a nation wide observance of Flag Day. Then in 1949, President Truman signed an Act Of Congress designating the 14th day of June every year as National Flag Day. On June 14th, 2004, the 108th U.S. Congress voted unanimously on H.R. 662 that Flag Day originated in Ozaukee County, Waubeka Wisconsin.

With all of life’s changes however we can thank God for the our faith, a place to worship that is open to all, opportunities for Bible Study and a God who is ever present to lead, guide and fi ll us daily with love. And most of all we should Thank God for Jesus Christ, our Savior, who remains the same. Congratulations to Brenda Fox and Jerry Morris who were married on Friday, June 8. We wish them many years of happiness together.
Our family is excited this week to have my niece Emily Watson here visiting from Kansas City. Emily is my brother, Jeff’s youngest daughter.
On Saturday we spent the day at the Haywood County Relay for Life on the court square at the LASCO campsite. The weather was beautiful and it was a fun fi lled family day while supporting a great cause. It was great seeing friends from the past who I hadn’t seen in awhile. Kenny Ellington and Chelsie Denevan did a great job
as the Chairpersons this year. Camryn Dirl was the Honorary Survivor Chairperson. Camryn is such a blessing to anyone who comes in contact with her and is an inspiration to all. It is amazing how the community unites for to support this wonderful cause.
If you happened to drive by Mt. Pleasant on Sunday evening and saw the church on the hill rocking, Mt. Pleasant UMC and Bethlehem Baptist Church united for singing and refreshments. The church was packed and a great time of praise was had by all in attendance. This group is available for booking all you have to do is contact Gerald Lewis at 731-254-8067 or 731-609-1101.

8th Annual Free Fishing RodeoJackson Center for Independent Living (JCIL) sponsored its 8th Annual Free Fishing Rodeo on Sat-
urday, June 9. The event took place at Oneal Lake on the Hatchie National Wildlife Refuge. The win-ners of the event were Kaylyn Biddle (Most Fish Caught in the Jr. Division), Gavin Lynch (Biggest Fish in the Jr Division), Ken Lea (Most Fish Caught in the Adult Division for the third year in a row.), Jimmy Cordell (Largest Fish in the Adult Division) and Sandra Lancaster (Big-est Brim).
The Jackson Center for Independent Liv-ing is a non-profi t or-ganization operated by people with dis-abilities for the people with disabilities de-signed to enable indi-iduals to achieve max-imum independence and fully participate in all aspects of com-munity life.
The hotter the space, the harder an air conditioner must work to keep things cool. Limit the use of heat-generating appliances such as the oven, dishwasher and clothes dryer during the daytime hours when temperatures are hottest.
Avoid chores.

Area businesses and other community members came together Saturday at the Brownsville Country Club for the 14th annual March for Babies Golf Tournament.
The event, which raises money for the March of Dimes, raised approximately $11,000, according to Jeannie Patrick, community director for March of Dimes.
“The tournament was very successful,” Patrick said. “A big thank you to all the businesses and volunteers that participated.”
Dew's Termite and Pest Control of Ripley beat
out 18 other teams to win the fi rst fl ight. Domtar in Brownsville won the second fl ight.
There were 22 hole sponsors for the tournament. Brownsville Family Medicine was the $10,000 hole-in-one sponsor, InSouth Bank sponsored the tournament and Alpha Med provided the food.
“The committee secured door prizes from businesses in Brownsville so that every player went home with a door prize,” Patrick said. “The country club commented that this was one of their biggest and best tournaments of the year.”
The tournament is just the beginning of the 2012 Haywood County March
for Babies campaign, which raises money to help support prenatal wellness programs, research grants, newborn intensive care unit family support programs and advocacy efforts for stronger, healthier babies.
Seth Birdsong is the year's March for Babies Brownsville ambassador.
Birdsong was born prematurely on Oct. 25, 1994, at fi ve pounds, nine ounces.
Now he's a 6-3 standout athlete for the Haywood football and baseball teams.
A March for Babies charity walk will be held Oct. 6 at 10 a.m.
