HHS Class of 2022 turns the tassel

The stage was set Saturday for 173 Haywood High School seniors to commemorate their highest academic achievement to date and take the stage, they did! This year, the local graduating class raked in more than $3 million in scholarships with 42 percent of HHS seniors eligible for $1.2 million in HOPE scholarships, 52 earning more than $2 million in college scholarships, and every student eligible for TN Promise.

The commencement ceremony was held Saturday, May 21, at L.Z. Hurley Memorial Field in Brownsville under the direction of Superintendent Joey Hassell and HHS Principal Brittany Avent.

Hatchers exit car dealership after near 40 years

Donnie Hatcher has sold his auto dealership. For 38 years, Haywood Countians and surrounding new and used car buyers have shopped with Donnie and Beverly Hatcher at Hatcher Chevrolet.

The new owner is Geaux Automotive Group headquartered in Laplace, La. Geaux, Donnie says, owns the Chevrolet franchise in Covington and stores in Louisiana. John Dillon, Hatcher

says, is the new managing partner and general manager. They have renamed the dealership Express Chevrolet.

Economic Board moves on new promotionHaywoodfor County

Haywood County’s online welcome to the community is about to improve. The Joint Economic and Community Development Board (JECDB) approved spending just under $10,000 to renovate Internet sites used by Haywood County and the Brownsville/Haywood County Chamber of Commerce. A third new web presence may include a livability site.

The board also approved a Request for Proposal for marketing materials. The two promotional items are aimed at attracting Blue Oval City residents and businesses.

Board members spent time talking about education and a 68-page report authored by Covariant Education describing Haywood County Schools “Assessment and Opportunity.”

Hatcher started in business in Brownsville on North Washington, later moving to the new location on the Bypass.

Hatcher told the Brownsville Press and Brownsville Radio that the sale is “bittersweet but it’s time…”

Hatcher remains active in Brownsville business as owner of commercial real estate including an office building at 24 East Main he purchased at auction recently.

Sheriff says funding for $5 million communications systems secured

Sheriff Billy Garrett Jr. says he believes he and his team have secured grant funding that will buy new communications equipment for every first responder agency in the county.

Garrett, who is a member of the Joint Economic and Community Development Board, wrote a plan earlier this year suggesting several expensive initiatives including new two-way radio equipment that could cost up to $5 million.

“Thanks to the help of many, which included representatives from Motorola, TN Department of Homeland Security…state consultants, and last but not least, personal past associates of mine and Dawn Bennett’s (former Central Dispatch Director), Haywood County is in line to receive complete state funding from grants and other state budgeted funds, thanks to Governor Lee’s vision for this same radio system in Tennessee,” Garrett wrote in

a release.

The money will replace equipment for departments including the sheriff, Brownsville PD, fire and ambulance. The sheriff, who didn’t say exactly where the money would come from, said, “There will be very little or no local tax dollars used on this project.” Once funded construction and installation will required about two years to complete.

Pipe bombs find still under investigation

Sheriff Billy Garrett Jr. says he doesn’t know what two men implicated in the possession of two pipe bonds had in mind doing with them.

Deputies discovered the bombs Tuesday, May 17, while investigating a domestic disturbance at 6925 Highway 54 West. Federal authorities including the FBI and ATF have entered the investigation and call the devices weapons of mass destruction.

Robert Stewart, 36, so far has only been charged with Child

Support infractions but George Stewart, 44, is facing state weapons charges connected to the bombs. The sheriff said both men are likely to face additional charges including federal.

Sheriff Garrett told Brownsville Radio and the Brownsville Press that interviews with the two men haven’t revealed anything about the devices. The sheriff said the pipes were packed with lethal explosives including .22 caliber rifle bullets.

Disaster Assistance available to Haywood businesses and residents

Businesses and residents in Tennessee counties affected by the wind, severe weather and tornadoes on March 30-31, 2022, may apply for low-interest disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). SBA Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman made the loans available in response to a letter from Tennessee Governor Bill Lee on May 5 requesting a disaster declaration by the SBA for Madison County and the contiguous counties of Carroll, Chester, Crockett, Gibson, Hardeman, Haywood and Henderson.

To assist businesses and residents affected by the disaster, the SBA opened a Disaster Loan Outreach Center (DLOC) in Madison County at Jackson Energy Authority, 217 East College Street, Jackson, TN 38301. THE DLOC will be open through May 26 from 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. Monday-Friday, and 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. on Saturday. Customer Service Representatives will be available to answer questions about the disaster loan program and help individuals complete their applications.

Planners consider changes to rezoningrecent recommendation

Brownsville’s Planning Commission meets Thursday, May 26. The recent meetings have been busy dealing with planning for a new bank, Taco Bell and, apparently a Wendy’s. An agenda for this week’s meeting includes a “review of the Wendelta Property Holdings Recension Request.” Planning Board Chairman Charlie Tripp says there are no big problems, but the earlier recommended Shopping Center/Commercial Zone needs to be Commercial instead. The company owns 6 acres in the rezoned area and may later subdivide for other business appropriate the Commercial zone.

Last week, Brownsville’s Historic Planning Board met. They approved a Certificate of Appropriateness for signage for Kinfolks Restaurant located in the town’s historic district.

Teenager killed in Shepp Road traffic mishap

Weston McCage graduated with his fellow Haywood High School seniors Saturday—and then lost his life in an accident later that same day.

McCage, 17, died after falling out of the bed of a pickup truck on Shepp Road. It happened about 7:30 Saturday evening, May 21.

According to the Tennessee Highway Patrol’s report, he was in the bed of a pickup truck along with another teenager. The truck was loaded with a jon boat. When the truck pulled out of a driveway in the 1800 block of Shepp Road,

Services for McCage are set for Friday.

State top auditor issues release critical of Haywood County’s financial management

In a one-page report submitted to the Haywood County Commission Monday, the county commission’s audit committee said that it has reviewed multiple “findings” in last year’s county audit and commented that several of the discrepancies were being managed. But Tennessee Comptroller of the Treasury, Jason Mumpower, blasted the results of last year’s audit. Mumpower published a news release on the Tennessee Comptroller’s website (see it here) in late January calling the results “disappointing.”

“A majority of this year’s findings, including all of the repeated issues, detail deficiencies and areas of noncompliance with the county mayor’s office operations,” the release states.

Mumpower also complains about findings in the Solid Waste Disposal Fund, Community Development/Industrial Park and Education Capital Projects.

Mumpower’s auditors have conducted two criminal investigations into Haywood County’s accounting this year. One of them — regarding the mayor’s former budget director — is still ongoing. “Findings, if any, will be included in a subsequent report. We have not released the report at this time,” Comptroller spokesperson John Dunn confirmed Monday. Dunn would not say when the state auditors might conclude their work.

“Haywood County must take steps to improve its government operations,” Mumpower said. “Last year, Tennessee counties average three audit findings in their annual reports. Haywood County has had nine findings for two years in a row.”

Mayor David Livingston, in a text message response to Brownsville Press questions about Mumpower’s comments, dismissed the Comptroller’s admonitions. “With real problems facing this county, you want to talk about … technical bookkeeping audit findings … and trivial concerns… Why don’t you cover the news? You want to cover RV Parks and Security at the Mega Site (sic). Pitiful,” Mayor Livingston wrote.

Legislators meet with leaders in Brownsville

The Brownsville-Haywood County Chamber of Commerce hosted a Legislative breakfast Thursday, May 19, featuring Representatives Johnny Shaw, Chris Hurt and Debra Moody and Senator Page Wally.

Chris Hurt is Haywood County’s present representative but after the August election the district he represents will not include Haywood. Haywood has been carved into two districts. The incumbent representatives of the new districts that will represent us after the election are Shaw and Moody. Shaw is running unopposed in August. Moody has a challenger.

Wally’s senate seat is not on the August ballot.

HHS alum inspires at Boys and Girls Club

ELIZA FORD

Alex Watkins, wellknown Haywood County native, visited the Brownsville Boys and Girls Club last week to spend some time with the club members. The 2007 graduate and Hall of Famer of Haywood High walks tall wearing a shirt that says, “All I Know Is Win.”

The kids get quiet as Watkins comes into the gym - he’s no stranger to the Club. The longer he talks to the kids, the more hands jolt into the air, eager to ask questions. The intrigued minds asked questions ranging from details about how he injured his forearm to advice about going pro. Some questions even turned into their own stories, attesting to Watkins’ full engagement with them. After about 20 questions, Watkins leaves them with this advice, “It’s not about whether or not there will be obstacles in life - there will be - it’s all about how you choose to handle them.”

When asked if he always knew he wanted to play professionally, he says until 7th grade he thought he wanted to

play professional basketball but realized he was better at football. After graduating college at Alabama, he stayed as an intern to figure out what he wanted to do next. “I got a Southwest Emmy for writing and narrating an All Access project, so I thought I wanted to be in sports media, but ended up falling in love with Strength and Conditioning. One of my mentors, Terry Jones Sr., was one of the very first Black Master Strength Coaches. He took me under his wing and has had a big influence in my coaching.”

Watkins shared the most recent updates in his professional career, mentioning his current position as Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach for the Florida Gators football team. He took the position

in January of this year, having almost 10 years of experience in Sports Strength and Conditioning. His 10 years have come from a number of colleges around the southeast including Mississippi State University, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Texas Southern University, Stillman College, and University of Alabama.

“I thought my wife and I might settle down at Mississippi State, but when I got the offer from Florida, I knew it would help us further our careers,” he says. Watkin’s wife, Sydney Littlejohn Watkins, is The Gators’ Football Nutrition Assistant.

In describing what a typical day looks like for him, he mentions long, but productive days. “When the guys come in, in four groups

throughout the day, I workout all the linebackers, inside and outside. Then we have a team run and drills at 4 p.m. By the time I’m done, it’s been about a 12-hour day. The really long days are when the official season rolls around. Those can be 13–14hour days.”

“What makes the staff at Florida so special is that all of our coaches have played the positions they coach - it’s all about relatability with this new generation,” Watkins adds.

After our short interview, he makes his way to the gym, where the Club Members are gathered. Coach Ray Jones comments, “Alex came from a humble background and is now one of the most decorated coaches from Brownsville. When he is in town he always comes to the Boys and Girls Club and mentors, giving back to his community. He is an outstanding role model and representative for all of Haywood County to be proud of.”

“Collaboration that leads to preparation has bever been more important for the leaders of West Tennessee. Because Joe…already has working relationships with the leadership of all rural counties in West Tennessee as well as relationships with state and federal agencies he his is the ideal person to keep this information flowing….” Hardeman County Mayor Jimmy Sain said.

Help GMHS identify these women

DOROTHY GRANBERRY Geneva Miller Historical Society

This week’s featured photo is one of 14 women meeting at Bailey School in the Macedonia Community. Presently, GMHS does not know if this is a group of teachers, a group of community residents or a combination of the two. The woman in the forefront is Ms. Algee Currie Outlaw, the Supervisor of Negro Schools for Haywood County. Ms. Outlaw seems to be chairing the meeting. The first seated

woman to the left is Ms. Eunice Currie Sweet who taught third and fourth grades at Douglass School in Stanton. It appears that all of the women are wearing some type of smock or duster over their clothes. The time is probably around 1951 or 1952. If you recognize any of the other women in the picture, send their names to GMHS or get the names to John Ashworth in Brownsville.

As Supervisor of Ne-

gro Schools, Ms. Outlaw had a broad range of instructional and administrative responsibilities. She held this position for 37 years beginning in the 1930s. She conducted workshops for teachers and

community groups on a variety of subjects.

During the 1950s she presented a workshop on first aid for teachers. The featured photo could be of one of those sessions as the participants appear to be wearing

protective coverings over their clothing.

During these first aid workshops, participants practiced dressing wounds, doing CPR, etc.

Ms. Outlaw visited each of the many Negro schools that dotted the county at this time, from Pilgrim Rest in the southern part of the county to Hess School in the northern part. She organized Parent Teacher Associations in communities where none existed.

For many years she was Haywood County coordinator for the Cotton Makers Jubilee. She encouraged and helped

develop floats for the annual parade in Memphis and helped aspiring young women who competed for Miss Cotton Maker. According to Ms. Willie Bell Leigh Rawls, Ms. Outlaw’s mother, Ms. Lela Currie Grigley, sewed dresses for many of these young women. Readers who recall where Ms. Outlaw’s office was located are also requested to share this information, along with any other anecdotes and factual information about her 37-year tenure as Supervisor of Negro Schools.

Although today cheerleading is usually associated with femininity, the original cheerleaders were men. It wasn’t until 1923 that women were first allowed to cheer at the University of Minnesota. Cheerleading was connected to the emergence of football at larger colleges and universities in the United States from the mid-1800’s, and the growth and formalization of cheerleading paralleled that of the sport. Over the latter half of the 19th century, as attendance at college games grew, sizeable stadiums were constructed and spectators were distanced from the playing field. Cheerleaders, or “yell leaders,” as they were then called, led cheers from the sidelines both to encourage the spectators and to serve as a form of crowd control. By the 1920’s cheerleading had become a formal extracurricular activity for boys in high schools, colleges, and towns across the country, related to but distinct from other spirit programs such as bands, drum corps, and drill teams. As ambassadors

for their schools and communities, cheerleaders were associated with such character-building traits as cooperation, leadership, discipline, and sportsmanship.

Cheerleading in Hay-

wood County likely began as an informal way to stir up the crowd and encourage the players. In 1933, Bill Thornton was recognized as one of the first of these “leaders” and by 1950, when this photo was taken, the activity had become a recognized and expected part of the game experience.

History, as many people have noted, is written by the winners, and indeed, it is. Take the recognized origin of Memorial Day, the national holiday we will celebrate next Monday, for example.

Most accounts of the history of the holiday describe it as a Northern institution, not celebrated in the South at all until after World War I, when it was expanded from being a holiday devoted exclusively to honoring servicemen killed in the Civil War to one honoring fallen heroes from all American wars.

Indeed, in 1966, President Lyndon Johnson, a Southerner himself, officially declared Waterloo, New York, to be the official birthplace of the holiday. The reason he did is that in 1865, a local Waterloo druggist came up with the idea of honoring Civil War dead

by decorating their graves.

Nobody took him up on that idea, however, until the following spring. On the Fifth of May of that year, 1866, the town held a celebration of sorts and decorated the graves of every Union soldier buried in the town’s three cemeteries.

And that may have been the first time that anyone had done anything like that.

In the North, that is. The historical record, however, shows many Southern towns seem to also have legitimate claims to beginning the custom of putting flowers on the graves of fallen soldiers. As early as 1863, while the war still raged, ladies of Columbus, Mississippi, to name just one, began decorating soldiers’ graves with flowers. Two years later, freed slaves in Charleston, South Carolina, held a ceremony honoring Union soldiers buried there. Similar ceremonies occurred in other towns across the South.

And one of them, for certain, occurred

attention, winning praise from Northern and Southern newspapers alike.”

on April 25, 1866, in Columbus, Mississippi, nearly two weeks before the first known celebration in the North. It was then, and there, in that Mississippi town, that “Decoration Day,” as it was once called, truly began, when three gentlewomen of the South began the custom of strewing flowers over the graves of fallen soldiers there. And it was then, and there, that Decoration Day was born. Other towns claim earlier celebrations, but none of them honored soldiers from both sides of the conflict.

But in Mississippi that day they were. The women met at one of their homes and went, as a group, loaded with

Second chances

I love dogs. Hardly anybody loves you back like your dog. And that tail that wags every time he (or she) sees you, is that great or what? There are two things about dogs however that I don’t like. The biggest thing is that they die too soon. I swore we would never get another dog after we had to euthanize our last one. I cried like a baby. I never wanted to hurt like that again. Secondly, to own a dog is like having another child. They have to be fed regularly. They must be trained and house-broken. You can’t go on a trip without

planning for their care, and dog sitters cost money! Then there is the trauma of leaving them. Our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel almost has a panic attack if we are gone too long. That almost compares to the trauma we feel when we leave him.

So, am I glad now that we got another dog? I must say, I’m really, really, glad. Pets in general are a lot like love recharging stations. The more love you pour into them, the more love you get back. Pets have an endearing way of making your heart bigger. Hopefully that extra love will go into loving others of the human-kind. I have friends who adopt rescue dogs. That really shows that you have a great big heart. I respect that. Our friend, Christy, had a dog,

blossoms, to the local cemetery. On arrival they decorated the graves of some 1,400 Confederate soldiers buried there, but didn’t stop with just them. One of the women, a widow of a Confederate soldier killed in battle, scattered petals over the graves of 41 Union soldiers buried in the cemetery as well.

This was an unusual and loving act of forgiveness for the time, and the place, and it caught the entire nation’s attention, winning praise from Northern and Southern newspapers alike.

The next year, 1867, Francis Miles Finch, a young New York attorney who was also a poet, read an article about the Mississippi women’s

generosity of spirit in the New York Tribune and was so moved by their kindness he sat down and wrote “The Blue and the Gray,” one of our greatest Civil War poems.

In September of 1867, the poem was published in Atlantic Monthly, and it quickly became a national treasure. It was once so famous that school children were required to memorize it for generations to come.

The next year the national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic issued an order calling on all states to decorate the graves of Union soldiers on May 30, 1868. May 30 was chosen because it was not the anniversary of any Civil War battle.

On the appointed date, General James A. Garfield, then a congressman, traveled to Arlington National Cemetery and gave a speech, after which 5,000 volunteers decorated the graves of all Union soldiers there. Memorial Day, or Decoration Day, as it was then called, was here to stay.

For a while, it was celebrated on different dates,

especially in the South. They began calling it Memorial Day in the North, but it in the South it remained Decoration Day. Florida, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi observed it on April 26. In the Carolinas, it was May 10. In Tennessee, and several other states as well, it was observed on June 3, Jefferson Davis’s birth date.

But after World War I, the scope of the holiday was expanded to include fallen soldiers in all American wars, and slowly, but surely, Southern states began observing Memorial Day too, along with the rest of the nation. In 1971, Congress declared it a national holiday to be celebrated on the last Monday in May. This year it falls on May 30.

So next week most working men and women in America will get a holiday, and if you’re one who does, you can thank, in addition to the brave men and women who have died defending our country, three gentlewomen of the South who started the custom.

Holly Grove Baptist Church at 8488 Poplar Corner Road in Bells will have its annual Cemetery Day on Sunday, June 5. The guest speaker will be our own Bro. Steve Brown. He is the Minister of Youth at Holly Grove and has been a member most of his life. All are invited to Sunday School at 10 a.m., Indoor Worship at 11 a.m., and the fellowship meal at noon. There will be no Drive-In Worship. Those who normally come at 9 a.m. are invited to come at 11 where they will be able to stay in their vehicles and hear the service.

That’s not surprising, as he had been abused so severely that he was hospitalized twice with brain injuries. Then came Maria and Charles, his newly adoptive parents.

“He had come a long way,” they said, “except for one thing. He couldn’t cry.” Most likely because of his traumatic past, he couldn’t shed a tear. Nevertheless, he dearly loved his dogs. Robbie took it hard when one of his older dogs had to be put down. He insisted on holding her until the very end.

Finally, his great love

for this dog warmed his cold heart, and the tears flowed. Following that event, Robbie opened up as to why he so cared about neglected or abused animals. He said, “I know how it feels not to be loved, and I don’t want any animal of mine to feel that way.” Maria said, “In the older (usually unadoptable) dogs, he has found a place to practice compassion.”

Now Robbie has six older dogs. Someday, Robbie wants to “rescue” older foster children. Kindness begets kindness. Two compassionate parents nurtured kindheartedness that will be passed on to lucky homeless children yet unborn. I think that’s pretty cool. Let’s have a shout out to “second chance” providers everywhere. Be a part of the solution, Choose kindness.

(Phil 1:6) I’m sure that God began a good work in within you, will continue his work until it’s finally finished on that day when Christ comes back again. We should let go of the past, God is interested in where you are now. In the future, it would add to our lives if we appreciated

the people in our lives, family and friends. We can make a difference in the lives of people today, being a mentor and practicing acts of kindness each day. Just because we have aged doesn’t mean that we always know what is good and best, but God has a plan for us. He is not through with us yet. We are designed for eternity, that is why we never give up.

They ask for prayers such as, “May the enemy’s jets get broken, their hands be weakened.” Marina says, “My people are very strange. When there is peace, we argue. When the trouble comes, we cry. When it gets bad, we pray. When it becomes unbearable, we sing.” Since day one of the war, Ukrainians have written thousands of songs.

“Ukraine has always been religious,” she added, “but now Ukraine is really turning to God.” Remember when all the group sheltered in an old factory, they all sang, especially their national patriotic and anthem ones. It was on TV.

David Lipscomb University and students there embraced their joint ideas of sending buckets of aid products to churches there in Ukraine to be distributed to needs of all. Other Healing Hands volunteers helped load trailers for the long journey overseas. Does it navigate through Suez? Hope not. Dalraida Church of Christ is the main sponsor, located in Montgomery, Ala., of our Bro. Howell Ferguson who is now working in Tanzania. (Other Churches of Christ help sponsor Bro. Howell, along with ours, of course.) Bro. Howell was in Ukraine before Putin attacked, and I didn’t know when or why, but as I related, I learned there are many of the Lord’s Churches of Christ already established there some years and years ago. This was for our Bear Valley Institute and others.

Eastman, a former minister here for Westside, always spoke of his connection with Bear Valley. There is a Ukrainian man living in Savannah, Tenn., who works for Nissan that was interviewed very interestingly. I remember he said the Kremlin population need Ukraine’s technology to build and repair what artillery breaks down. If it breaks, the soldiers/men do not have the knowledge to fix it. He also said Putin wants to conquer UK’s men for that purpose, among other reasons of course. I saw a TV clip of the UK men outside on the streets assembling bottle rockets galore at the beginning of the attack. They ask for artillery from Pres. Joe Biden and other nations. The UK’s are very resilient and industrious. I applaud them and of course pray for them. Don’t we all need to?

MARTHA H. JONES

When two elderly gentlemen decided to open an abandoned country store (formerly the J. B. Warren & Son Grocery) and turn it into a community restaurant, in July 2021, a few people were surprised. After all, Turk Warren at age 98, and Ray Ellington, age 86, had never owned or managed a restaurant. However, this didn’t stop these two entrepreneurs from a new venture. Located on the corner of Woodland Church Road and the Union-Mercer Road in Haywood County, the restaurant is not only thriving—it is doing exceptionally well. And instead of selling cheese and bologna sandwiches as first planned, The Fork Restaurant is now a full-fledged establishment open 6 days a week. The menu changes daily and includes breakfast biscuits,

sandwiches, omelets, and plates. Lunch provides sandwiches, burgers, and stuffed taters. Dinner has plates, sides, Friday night catfish dinner, and Saturday night steak. Sunday’s buffet always includes chicken and dressing. But there is more than the delicious food at brings people back to The Fork. It’s the gathering place in a rural community that was so very much missed and needed. Farmers in the community drift in about noon, enjoy a hearty meal and take box lunches back to those working in the fields. One farmer was overheard saying, “The Fork Restaurant provides a place to relax, rest a bit, and enjoy a healthy meal. If the restaurant wasn’t close by, we would eat a cold sandwich brought from home. It’s too far to

drive into Brownsville for lunch. Besides, being in the fields we are dusty and tired. We’re grateful for this place nearby.”

But one thing the owners, Warren and Ellington, hoped would happen has been fulfilled. The restaurant is bringing the churches in the community together.

With Woodland Baptist just down the road, many members enjoy Sunday lunch together. Union Grove United Methodist is nearby. Zion Baptist is only a few miles. And the African-American Browns Creek Missionary Baptist Church is off Woodland Church Road. Shaw’s

Paul Jackson

Chapel, further away, brings people from across Haywood County.

Large tables provide space for neighbors to gather, laugh, talk and just get to know one another. “The food is delicious, but communicating with our friends and neighbors –well, we haven’t had this in our community for a long time—if ever,” says a customer. Because the Friday night catfish dinner and the Saturday night steak are so popular, Allen Phillips, chef, advises people to arrive early. It’s not unusual to sell out of both. Kathy Coul-

ston, says, “our family has really enjoyed the food, especially the fish night!”

Misty Walls, daughter of Phillips, serves customers with a smile and makes suggestions on the menu. “We can seat approximately 70 people. Church and civic groups frequent the restaurant throughout the week.”

Randy Kellough, the pastor of Woodland Baptist, appreciates the

way the community has responded to The Fork.

“Many are the stories of days gone by of old country stores in the rural communities, how they served as the gathering spot. The Fork Restaurant is a renewal of the former ties. It is a place to eat. It fosters chances to sit and talk as families, and members from different churches frequent the tables. It is a gathering for prayer on Saturday every other month, with a hope that the Lord will rekindle the old virtues of righteousness.”

Open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday; from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday. Phone (731) 803-8776 or (731) 518-8255.

It’s to be hip fit

Parks and Rec offers senior fitness classes

Brownsville is a “Healthy Moves” community, meaning we know the importance of staying active, and the Brownsville-Haywood County Parks and Recreation department is making sure that all residents, no matter their age, are getting the opportunity to keep moving while also having a good time.

Launched in early March, Parks and Recreation director Undrae

Johnson said that the Senior Exercise Class at Parks and Recreation has become one of the fastest growing programs the department offers. Held on Tuesday and Thursday from 9-9:45 a.m., the class leads seniors through low-impact cardio routines. “We focus on joint health, stability, and muscle building,” said Johnson. “We know that seniors tend to deal with arthritis, so that’s what we focus on. Everything that bends and flexes. All of the exercises that we do can be done in a chair. Everything is done at their own pace.”

Starting with just four seniors, Johnson said he began sharing the class on social media, making sure to keep those participating anonymous. As the group became more comfortable and began seeing the benefits, he said, they began spreading the word to their friends. “They’re excited about it,” said Johnson.

So many community members began to join in that they had to add a second session each week, and, Johnson says, they’re outgrowing their space. “We’re now trying to partner with another entity so we can get a larger space.”

When asked if the community could offer any assistance with the program, Johnson immediately knew what the group would appreciate, replying with a smile, “When we get settled in a bigger building, food that they could eat right after their workout would be great.”

Celebrating 6 months of zero OSHA-recordable injuries!

West Lake Pipe and Fittings, formerly LASCO, celebrated 6 months of having zero OSHA-recordable injuries with a cookout for all employees. The event was held at the plant and lasted two days in order to cover all shifts, so that everyone could take part. The menu included hotdogs, chips, cookies, and drinks. Plant Manager Robert Grant stood outside with the staff, sharing laughs and making sure everyone received enough food. Grant is a graduate of Tennessee State University and has over 25 years of experience in the manufacturing business. He took the position in February of this year.

Ben’s Friends fundraiser continues to grow

PHOTOS BY BROOKE McCAIN

Saturday’s weather on May 21 might have been hot and humid, but that didn’t stop the community from coming together to raise money for a worthy cause. Ben’s Friends, the annual “crawfish party” benefitting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in memory of Ben Butler, grossed over $36,000. Held at Serendipity Bar and Grill, attendees relished in unlimited crawfish and shrimp for their donation as they enjoyed a lineup of talented musicians.

Ben’s Friends began in 2011 and has grown into one of the largest Cystic Fibrosis Foundation fundraisers in the country. Donations can still be made to the effort by visiting http:// fightcf.cff.org/goto/ bensfriends2022.

GROWTH AND ITS CHALLENGES

WITH OPPORTUNITY COMES CHALLENGES

Plan the Future, Today

Haywood is a small county filled with hard working families, proud Tennesseans, with a can-do attitude who refused to settle for the same old, same old. That attitude coupled with a willingness to roll up our sleeves and get to work has given us the greatest opportunity our county has ever known. Challenges are sure to follow.

Folks, we are about to embark on an amazing journey. We will succeed and each of you and your families will have a brighter future. I know we will rise to meet the challenges of tomorrow because we have met the challenges of the present. We are Haywood County; We are the little county that could; and Yes, we are quickly becoming the little county that did.

Simply put, our future opportunity will bring us new challenges. But folks, look at what we have accomplished by standing together in just four years. We reopened the Hospital, Ford is coming to the Megasite, a new head start building is being built, we lowered crime in the rural areas, we made improvements to the Anne Marks Theatre and the Carver Dunbar Museum, we gave the highest increase in pay for County workers in our history, we have the lowest unemployment in Haywood’s history, and we did it all without a property tax increase on you and your families. The truth is, Haywood County has it going on!

THE FUTURE

PROSPERITY! With Blue Oval City, our community is going to see growth — something we have not seen since the 1940s. We must be prepared to face the challenges that growth will bring. That means we will need new schools, continue improving our healthcare opportunities, prepare for new shops, new restaurants, new clothing stores, new theatre, better recreational facilities, more competitive zoning laws, and a plan to deal with the influx of new families. This growth will occur gradually over the next 3-12 years, however, what will occur before the first of the year is higher pay for many of our families. We are already seeing the result of new and better paying jobs and how those jobs will improve your quality of life.

We are also seeing new opportunities for those without the needed skills for the new jobs. Tennessee College of Applied Sciences will have a new campus to train our folks located on the Megasite, and a soon to be expanded campus in Brownsville. Again, that was accomplished ALL WITHOUT A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE.

LOWER PROPERTY TAXES: Every County must have its niche. Some have certain natural attractions, others have professional sports teams, and some have tremendous night life. Some of that may eventually occur here, but for now we must begin to attract our new residents with what I intend to make our new motto:

“HAYWOOD COUNTYTHE COUNTY OF LOW PROPERTY TAXES”

My pledge to you is: AS LONG AS I SIT AS YOUR COUNTY MAYOR, I WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR PROPERTY TAXES. It’s simple — lower property taxes equals more money in your and your family’s pockets. Starting in 2024, Haywood County will begin a gradual reduction of your property taxes. Soon, I will print my financial plan that pays for all the needed improvements without a property tax increase, and in fact, will lower your property taxes.

BETTER ROADS: I have already started the procedure by requesting of the Tennessee Department of Transportation that all of the major State Highways coming into Haywood County must be repaved as soon as possible: especially Bells Highway, Jackson Highway, Memphis Highway, and Somerville Highway, with Highway 180 and Mercer Road already slated for substantial improvements. We must improve our County Roads and bridges now.

IMMEDIATE FUTURE: The growth will not happen overnight. First, we will see construction workers, with most staying outside Haywood County but traveling through here and spending their money here at our stores and restaurants. Let’s welcome them with the friendly and gracious spirit that only exists in Haywood County, Tennessee.

Folks, a good friend of mine lived by an old saying, “Those that fail to plan, plan to fail.” My plan is simple: Improve the quality of life for all of Haywood’s families. I believe our brightest days are ahead. I believe together we will meet any challenge because we already have — just look at the last four years. Let’s come together, work hard, and make our community the best place to live, work, and play in Tennessee.

I ask for your support to Re-elect David Livingston, Haywood County Mayor and your vote on August 4, 2022.

TOGETHER, WE HAVE AND WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE A POSITIVE CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE.

A final walk of where it all began

Before making their final – and most important – walk across the graduation stage, Haywood High School seniors took time to for a walk that was equally momentous. They walked the halls of the local elementary schools…where it all began.

Donned in purple gowns, 172 soon-to-be graduates paraded the halls of their former elementary and middle schools. Eager, on-looking elementary students excitedly cheered and admired their much-welcomed guests.

This is the fourth consecutive year that HHS seniors have dressed in full graduation garb and walked the halls of their old schools, a trend growing rapidly across the country. The tradition, which has been dubbed Senior walk, allows graduates the opportunity to say a final goodbye to former teachers and principals as they reflect on precious memories of their younger days. It also gives teachers a chance to bid farewell to former students. But most importantly, it gives young students a glimpse into the exciting future that awaits them.

An entourage of buses escorted the seniors to Anderson, Haywood Elementary, East Side, Sunny Hill and the Middle School. Afterwards, seniors enjoyed a BBQ lunch provided by GEAR UP TN.

Class of 2022!

New SCA

leaves their mark on HHS

For nearly two decades, the Haywood High School student body was void of any formal student-led governing organization, but that changed in the 2021-2022 school year with the creation of the Student Council Association (SCA).

To celebrate and commemorate the reinstatement of SCA at HHS, the Class of 2022 SCA class officers hosted a brunch on Saturday, May 7, for the entire senior class. This is not a one-time gift, however, but rather, a legacy gift for all future seniors to also enjoy. Students, advisors and administrative guests enjoyed a full breakfast spread catered by Food Giant. Door prizes - including a television, mini refrigerator and gift cards – were icing on the cake. SCA advisor Lynsey Doles, senior sponsor Holly Chillcut, senior counselor Sarah Haynes and Ayer’s counselor Sara Benard assisted with the event.

The student-elected group is committed to promoting student affairs and activities, growing the leadership skills of its members and providing a student voice in the school. Chief Communications Officer Gabe Hart shared how the student council can greatly enhance the school’s culture, “They give a voice to the student body. They allow students to lead and help shape the narrative of their school. Most importantly, student councils can help teenagers learn how to communicate and problem solve while having difficult conversations.”

Ann Elizabeth Walker Jackson

May 6, 2022

Deschutes Memorial Chapel

With wonder, curiosity and humor, Ann Walker Jackson lived—truly lived—her life. She was an adventurer, a teacher, a confidante…a world traveler, a volunteer, and a woman who danced with joyous abandon.

Born June 7, 1932, in Greencastle, Ind., to Empson E. and Elizabeth Chambers Walker, Jackson spent most of her childhood and adolescence in Brownsville, Tenn. She attended college at Florida State University and DePauw University.

Jackson married the love of her life, George C. Jackson, on May 5, 1954. They had two children, David “Cal” and Janet. George’s banking career took the family to Jackson and Dyersburg, Tenn., Russellville, Ark., and finally to Germantown, Tenn.

Jackson had a passion for helping children—from kids in her local neighborhood to children in the most remote parts of the globe. She volunteered to rock failure-to-thrive babies in Romania, taught English in Poland and China, and championed children with heart defects around the world. Closer to home, she showered attention on children around the block and across the city. Unlike most adults, she actively listened to each child, encouraging them and making them feel special.

After the untimely death of her son, Cal, and the onset of Alzheimer’s, she moved to be near her daughter in Bend, Oregon. For the past few years, Jackson lived at Aspen Ridge Memory Care. The dedicated staff of that facility walked with her through her extended illness.

A poem Jackson often recited perfectly reflected her attitude toward aging: “How do I know my youth has been spent? My get-up-and-go has got up and went! But I really don’t mind, when I think with a grin, of all the places my get-up has been.”

She is survived by her daughter, Janet Jackson McPhee (Bob) and her beloved grandson, Miles McPhee. She is also survived by her brother, Empson E. Walker Jr. (Mary Elizabeth) and sister-in-law, Martha Walker. She leaves a host of nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, including the Cash-Walker-Marshburns in Germantown.

There will be no service at this time. The family requests that memorials be directed to St. George’s Episcopal Church in Germantown, Tenn., or St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Stephens was born on December 3, 1996, in Romania. He was a 2016 graduate of Haywood High School. He loved the performing arts and participated in as many school plays as he could. He obtained the distinction of being an Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America.

He is survived by his parents, Joe and Pam Privett Stephens; three brothers, Weston Stephens of Clarksville, A.C. Stephens and Rooks Stephens, both of Brownsville; one sister, Tessa Stephens of Brownsville; his maternal grandfather, Fred Privett of Trenton; and one nephew, Bentley Stephens.
