Quarter 3

One year agoBlueOval City announced

Ford has officially broken ground at BlueOval City. Structural steel is erected less than one year after Ford and SK On announced their $5.6 billion investment to build a revolutionary all-new electric truck and advanced batteries for future Ford and Lincoln vehicles in West Tennessee at BlueOval City.

What about the PILOT and the second announcement?

This week marks the anniversary of the announcement of BlueOval City. It was on September 27, 2021, that Ford and SK Solutions announced it would use 3,600 acres of the 4,100-tract known as the Memphis Megasite to build a $5.6 billion electric automotive plant in Haywood County. A year later, construction workers are erecting steel frames for the massive building that will eventually house what Ford calls the most advanced automotive manufacturing plant in the world. Building the Ford

F-150 Lightning pickup truck there, Ford expects the first one to roll off the assembly line by the end of 2025. Ford has said they expect 5,000 construction workers to be on the project by next summer.

And while Ford makes progress, leaders across Haywood County are trying to do the same. More than $150,000 has been spent on planning studies. Observers are also still waiting on a couple of important developments.

First, is the fate of the $269 million

Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) promised by Ford and SK in the deal with the state. Nobody has yet said who will get the cash—and the laws establishing the Megasite Authority of West Tennessee give the group the authority to distribute the money. The Megasite Authority hasn’t met in a couple of months. Michael Banks, who sits on the board, said the last two meetings were cancelled by Megasite Authority CEO Clay Bright. In Haywood County, leaders hope most of the money will land here because the Megasite and its expenses will be mostly incurred here, but so far Bright has not placed the matter on the Authority’s agenda.

RVs and travel trailers in Brownsville? Planners recommend—pending City Board approval

Thursday, September 22, Brownsville’s Planning Board made changes to a proposed commercial subdivision plan and carved out a three-acre lot for potential development on Highway 76, but a surprise conversation about recreational vehicles (RVs) in Brownsville became a two-hour discussion.

First, planners agreed to a modified plan for lots sizes in the Wendelta LLC owned tract located across from Walmart on Dupree. The new plan makes the lot for the proposed new Wendy’s a bit smaller while enlarging the remaining lot. So far, the developers haven’t said what will they plan to put on the larger lot.

On Highway 76

South, just south of Sunny Hill School, property owner Linda High was permitted to

carve out a 3-acre road frontage lot from her 20-plus acre tract for possible commercial development. The plan provides for room for a road that could access the remaining 19.5 acres of her land.

All of it is zoned General Commercial. Travel trailers and RVs —legal or illegal?

What about travel trailers within City limits – are they allowed? Well, the regulations are a little confusing, so City Planners tried to clear things up.

A second important announcement is also, apparently, still pending. Months ago, Bright said there would be news about a second tenant for the Megasite that will occupy the remaining 500 acres.

Covid funds being used in multimillion sewer system improvement

As a result of the federal American Rescue Plan Act, the City of Brownsville will be receiving $2,078,118.05 to be used for eligible drinking water, wastewater, or stormwater projects. The Brownsville Energy Authority (BEA) will administer the grant. BEA will also be responsible for the grant’s 15 percent match.

Russ

Stoots, manager

at BEA, explained that the funding is necessary for engineering design and components for a new wastewater treatment plant. All growth depends on infrastructure. It’s a phrase Stoots says is heard often and the spend is a significant starting point for the new wastewater treat-

ment plant, expected to cost $17 million. The new plant will increase Brownsville’s daily capacity from 1 million gallons to as much as 4 million gallons. The new system is expected to be online within three years, Stoots said.

from A1

told planners a developer has purchased a mobile home park on East Main Street near the City Limits for $2.2 million and wants to allow RVs and travel trailers to park there. He advertises the property at blueovaltnrv.com.

A similar situation to the multi-family complex that a developer wants to build in Stanton, the City of Brownsville does not have provisions in its planning regulations for RVs. This typically means, then, that they’re not allowed. However, City Planner Shelton Merrell told planners the phrasing in the current ordinance for mobile home parks can be interpreted to permit it.

Merrell said in the City’s current regulations, a mobile home park is defined as: “An area where two or more mobile homes or trailers can be and are intended

to be used as temporary or permanent living facilities for two or more families.”

McClinton said the state does not differentiate between “recreational vehicles” and “trailers”, meaning, in his view, RVs could technically be allowed.

At the insistence of McClinton, planners were asked to add permitted use verbiage to the City’s regulations that specifically addresses recreational vehicles in mobile home parks and provides guidelines, such as just how many travel trailers can be on the premises. “I’m asking for us to, finally, somewhere in our ordinance recognize an RV. Right now, we only address it in a backyard.

Recognize an RV in your mobile home parks so that it’s worded ‘RV’ and make regulations to it, limit it...mandate it.

You’ve got to recognize

Police take gambling devices out of convenience store—owner charged

the use or it falls under the next best thing, which would be mobile homes.”

Planners voted to make a recommendation to the City Board to change the rules: “Recreational vehicles and travel trailers can be allowed in mobile home parks, as use is permitted, provided they do not exceed 30 percent of the total zoning area.” Only the City Board can make the change.

The only dissenting vote was from Joe Barden who felt that the City could be facing legal backlash by restricting the owner’s use of the property. “If he has a monetary gain that is greater with an RV versus a mobile home, the argument’s going to be that you’re restricting my revenue source by limiting me to a percentage.”

Local bank says beware of scam

Have you gotten a text or a call from someone claiming to be INSOUTH Bank? If you have, it’s scam and don’t answer or respond. According to an e-mail alerting bank customers, “Some customers have received scam texts/calls…They are pretending to be INSOUTH Bank’s fraud department, falsely stating that there has been fraud activity on an account and using spoofed caller ID, so the phone number looks legitimate to disguise their identity as the

number on the back of INSOUTH’s debit cards when calling.”

The mail states, “INSOUTH Bank would NEVER ask for banking or personal information by email, text, or phone call. If you are called and asked for this information, HANG UP and call your local INSOUTH Bank branch. Please DO NOT respond to texts… DO NOT call the number on your text, please use the phone number on our website or your monthly account statement.”

Mayor returns to chairmanship of Haywood County Commission

Mayor David Livingston, just beginning his new four-year term at the helm of county government, was elected Chairman of the Haywood County Commission Monday night, September 26. Livingston was elected by acclamation—no one else was nominated.

The meeting began under the chairmanship of County Commissioner Jeffrey Richmond. Richmond is the Chairman Pro Tempore and was serving in the place of Joe Stephens whose term ended in August. The election of chairman was among the first items on the agenda. Richmond was reelected, also by acclamation, as Chairman Pro Tempore. Brownsville Mayor Bill Rawls attended the meeting and made an impassioned speech about

governments working to together. Rawls pointed to “…people coming from all over the world…” attracted by BlueOval City. Rawls said he and Livingston would begin meeting this week on the various inter-local agreements. The deals include joint ventures between Brownsville and Haywood County ranging from Parks and Recreation to the Animal Shelter. Livingston commented that the two may begin discussions about Tax Increment Financing (TIF). The sometimes-complicated arrangements allow local governments to pay later for investments in public infrastructure by capturing anticipated future tax revenues generated by the projects. TIFs are often used to help attract and maintain business and industry.

Stanton looks to Arlington to consider new municipal codes

The Town of Stanton is poised to consider some new municipal codes, and its neighbor, Arlington, is willing to help. Like leadership everywhere in the BlueOval City territory, new planning and zoning is being considered.

During a Stanton City Board meeting Tuesday, September 20, Mayor Allen Sterbinsky told his fellow board members that representatives from Arlington, Tenn., have agreed to mentor.

Arlington has grown from 2,000 residents in the year 2000 to over 14,000 now. Through trial and error, a set of municipal codes have

been adopted there that provide for the growth of business and its new residential subdivisions.

Sterbinsky asked aldermen to study Arling-

HAYWOOD COUNTY MAYOR DAVID LIVINGSTON

The exhibit, A Piece of the Pie: Patterns of African American Land Ownership, was developed to show with the Smithsonian Institute’s exhibit, Barn Again, on its visit to Brownsville to inaugurate the opening of the Delta Heritage Center.

Piece of the Pie chronicled acquisition of farms by African Americans in the Douglass Community in Stanton and Dancyville from the early 1870s to the federal Farm Security project in the late 1930s. The brochure that accompanied the exhibit noted that “for seventy years before the Farm Security Administration built ‘The Project’ in the Douglass Community, African American families had been steadily staking their claim to the land.”

Informants who provided oral history and rare photos were:

Dotson, Mr. Calvin and Ms. Betty Douglass, Mr. T. G. and Ms. Lelia Greer, Rev. Freddie Powell, Mr. Charlie and Ms. Lucy Pruitt, Ms. Patsy Richmond, Ms. Louise Rice, Mr. Earl Rice, Ms. Ethel Mae Smith, Mr. Edd Lee Watkins, and Ms. Albertha Williams. The project staff consisted of Carolyn Taylor, Marie Bond, Nadine Lee, Louvern Tucker, and Ed Granberry.

Mr. John A. and Ms. Marie Bond, Ms. Emma Bowles, Dr. Jesse Cannon, Ms. Jesse Cannon, Mr. John and Ms. Shirley Claybon, Ms. Mamie Douglass

Dorothy Granberry, Laura Jarman Sanderlin, and Penny Tucker were humanities scholars and consultants who guided the teams search for deeds, land records, trust deeds and wills. The project was underwritten by the Concerned Citizens of Douglass, the Faculty Support Center at TN State Univeristy, and Humanities Tennessee. The Piece of the Pie exhibit currently lives at the Douglass Community Center in Stanton and is always available during the annual Douglass Community Festival.

In this 1960’s view down West Main Street we can see the twinkling light of Big Star in the distance along with the Lettie Bond (wife of Lewis T. Bond) house, which was moved to and still stands in Dyersburg, and the Brownsville Motel with Harvey’s restaurant sign just beyond the Gulf station. The DX logo is prominent in the upper left.

In 1925 Sunray Oil purchased six service stations from the Diamond Petroleum Com-

pany. With this acquisition they obtained the diamond symbol and the major line of their products were known as Diamond Products. In 1932 scientists at their laboratories in Tulsa developed and patented an upper-cylinder lubricant for use in gasoline. The brand name “D-X” was first used in 1933 when the

company announced “D-X Lubricating Motor Fuel”. The “D” was for “Diamond” and the “X” was used to represent the secret lubricating factor of the gas. In 1959, DX was ranked in the top 15 oil providers in the nation, encompassing 17 states with 6000 employees and by 1965, Sunray DX was the 6th largest oil company in the world. In 1968, Sunoco Oil Company bought them out, eventually replacing the DX logo in favor of their own design.

The way we were

CLAYBURN PEEPLES

This fall marks the 40th anniversary of my being appointed district attorney general for this circuit. Before that, I was an assistant prosecutor in the office for five years, and since 2000, I’ve been a circuit judge. It’s been quite a 45 years.

People often ask if things have changed much during those four and a half decades.

Let me put it this way. When I first started prosecuting, the hottest crimes in the circuit were thefts of CB radios and eight track tape players from automobiles. The illegal drug of choice was marijuana. Methamphetamine was unheard of, and cocaine, still the scourge of so many in our society, was so rare we had never had a single cocaine case in the office. That soon changed.

No state near Tennessee had legal gambling except for pari-mutuel betting on horse and greyhound races in Ken-

tucky and Arkansas. Lottery fever had yet to sweep the nation. The Tunica gambling complex was planted in cotton the summer of 1977.

Video poker machines had yet to be invented (ever notice how soon new technology gets corrupted), but gambling on something called drop pinball machines (the kind without flippers) was legal in Tennessee, because a judge had ruled them to be games of skill. Bingo, played for charitable purposes, was also legal.

Ray Blanton was governor. Jimmy Carter was president. The national health crisis, said the president, was malaise, but a real national health crisis, AIDS, was lurking in Africa.

Parents in the area didn’t have to worry about their children viewing nudity on television in 1977. HBO and video rentals were also yet to appear here.

Video games were so new that people still played “pong,” a computer game in which the player tried to bounce a small square of light back and forth across a television screen. A

Maybe your automobile has this little icon that shows up on the dashboard if you have low air pressure on a tire. It comes on at 25 psi or below. Mine doesn’t tell me which tire, just a tire somewhere on the car, “you figure out which one!” I can’t tell by looking unless the tire is really flat. I have two air tanks and an air compressor, so I am prepared. I squirt in 40 psi all around and then refill my portable

tank. Job done. No problem—at least now yet. In refilling my portable tanks, I place my compressor on top of our garage (horizontal) freezer. To plug it in

I have to first remove the plug to the freezer from the outlet. “No big deal,” you say. Well, that depends. It depends on whether I remember, after I put the compressor away, to replace the detached freezer plug. A cloud looms on the horizon.

Well, as you probably have already guessed, I forgot. I’m not saying when. This morning I discovered my error as I lifted out a not-sofrozen sausage biscuit

couple of years later Pac-Man appeared, and it spawned an interactive video game mania that still rages today.

Small towns in West Tennessee were more than clusters of houses held together by government services back then. They were real communities with schools of their own and downtown areas that were actually retail trade centers.

We didn’t have a prison overcrowding problem then. We had overflowing prisons, but double bunking took care of that. No federal judge had forced us to release criminals because of it. Not in 1977, that is. That, too, was just around the corner.

When juries found criminals guilty, the juries, not the judges, set the sentences. Because of that, closing arguments often included all sorts of emotional, sometimes eloquent, appeals that are no longer

heard in courtrooms.

There were no juvenile judges in rural West Tennessee in 1977. County judges, precursors to county executives, heard what few juvenile cases there were, and there weren’t many. Gang activity, in rural West Tennessee at least, existed only in movies and novels.

Armed robbery was punishable by a sentence of between ten years and life in prison. An inmate could expect to serve between 55 and 70 percent of his sentence, and “his” sentence it almost always was. Very few criminal defendants were female back then.

Drunk driving convictions didn’t carry mandatory jail sentences 45 years ago. First offense DWI cases were frequently reduced to allow defendants to plead guilty to reckless driving instead. Child sexual abuse was prosecuted when uncovered, but it

seldom was in 1977, so very few such cases went to court.

Nearly all lawyers practiced at least some criminal law in 1977. Today, few do. Back then there was no public defender system, and all attorneys were expected to share the burden of representing indigent criminal defendants. There were living legends defending criminal defendants back then, men like Brownsville’s Johnny Norris and Trenton’s Lemmie Lee Harrell. Other great lawyers, men who hated criminal practice, but took criminal cases anyway, if appointed to do so, and they frequently did terrific jobs when they did.

Courtrooms were built more like theaters then and all of them were in court houses. Three in our circuit still had ceiling fans in 1977. One even had those old-fashioned liquid filled glass globe fire extinguishers on the walls, the kind you take down and smash on the floor in case of fire.

In police stations and sheriffs’ offices there was optimism. We were on the verge, bally-

hooed many of us, of conquering crime. Law enforcement was awash with sheriffs and police chiefs and prosecutors who knew how to, and would, solve the drug problem once and for all.

Each undercover drug operation was touted as the beginning of the end of illegal drug trafficking in this or that county, each major confiscation a turning point. Civic club members uniformly suggested the solution would be to “lock them up like we used to.”

Everybody had a solution for crime. The only problem was, then, as now, none of them worked very well. Practically nobody in the state knew what helped and what hurt, and nobody much seemed to be seriously trying to find out. Politically, it was better to claim to know the answers than to do the hard, often politically unpopular work of finding them, so we muddled on, everyone with comforting opinions, none of which led to lasting solutions.

The more things change . . .

for breakfast. Quick as a wink (almost) I plugged the freezer back up. Now, the question is, do I tell Pam? Our freezer sounds an alarm when I replug, until it regains a freezing temperature. As I should have known would happen, Pam hears the noise, and I am an immediate “person of interest” with no other suspects around.

But wait. There’s more! Only a couple of weeks before, Pam spent hours going through

To meet 22-year-old Jalen Gray at the Katy, Texas, vehicle inspection site, you’d probably never notice the world that rested on his shoulders. His aspiration was to be a park ranger, but life sometimes has a way of changing one’s plans. Jalen and his little brother, Julian, lost their mom two years ago. She was their only parent. Jalen as a result made the huge decision to drop out of college to become a parent for his brother. They continued to live in the modest home left to the boys by their mother. That is, until the big freeze, Texas-style,

Jalen made the mistake of paying ahead for work undone, allowing the deceitful contractor to take off to parts unknown. “It was a nightmare,” Jalen said. But for the kindness of a distant relative, who let them share an extra bedroom, they had nowhere to go and nothing to show.

Among our visitors at church Sunday were Doug English and his wife Sharon who live in Knoxville but were on their way home after a visit to her relatives in California. Doug and his late wife, Judy, and their three sons lived in Brownsville years ago –Kirk, Brent and Randy English.

I heard a sermon Sunday on TV entitled, “How to Stay Young and Useful.” Naturally, I became interested, especially since it was delivered by a 90-yearold preacher. He listed

scripturally ways to keep learning the word of God: keep loving, keep laughing (brings love and joy), keep leaving your cares (yesterday’s anxieties), keep longing (dream about the future, look toward God next).

You’re young and useful if you’re planning for tomorrow. Look your best. Keep laboring. Be fruitful all the days of life. Rely upon the Lord. Trust God for wisdom and keep learning. Keep listening to God. Be quiet. Read Bible and ask God.

“We must obey God, rather than men.” He told Joshua three times!

We grow in a changed life in suffering. God is reason for consequences of our obedience. We are responsible for consequences of our disobedience. He is sovereign. Trust Him.

would care about two homeless Black boys.

They were wrong.

It just happened that Katy’s Response caught wind of their plight.

Katy’s Response is a nonprofit community organization that helps neighbors rebuild after natural disasters. After Director Ron Peters evaluated their case, he said, “We’ve got to help these young men.” They did. In record time, water-drenched walls and floors were ripped out and replaced. In fact, the final result was far better than the older home had been. You should have seen the faces of the two young men as they were ushered into their newly restored

home for the first time.

Tears flowed and Texas smiles illuminated the celebration.

Volunteers who had helped in this major act of kindness offered big hugs and congratulations. The younger brother, Julian, exclaimed wiping away his tears, “There are so many nice people in this room. I’m so happy.”

Steve Hartman closed the kindness story, “When the brothers’ mom died they thought they were all alone. But they were off by one whole kind community!” Life has a way of bringing out helpers when they are needed the most.

Bellgrath Gardens: continuing a legacy of giving

For Haywood County residents who plan a trip to the Gulf Coast this fall, plan to stop by the Bellingrath Gardens near Mobile, Alabama. During October, dozens of mums in various shades of most colors— except blue—cover the vast gardens. Running mums, cascade from balconies and second-floor buildings. Knowing a bit of the history of Bellingrath will make your trip more interesting.

In 1903, Walter Bellingrath became Mobile’s first Coca-Cola bottling distributor, covering a 100-mile radius on the Gulf Coast. Struggling to make the company a success through thrifty living, he was often seen walking down the railroad tracks from town to town as he lacked train fare. By 1914, when the United States became involved in World War I, the beverage business had grown to a major industry in Mobile.

Today Bellingrath Gardens, the estate built by Walter and Bessie Morse Bellingrath south of Mobile, is on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage Tours. Including thousands of plants, walkways, fountains, and sculptures, the 65-acre cultivated plot on the 900- acre property is considered one of the historic gardens in the U.S. In a recent year, 104 buses and 3,908 guests toured the Gardens. Church groups and senior adults make

Bellingrath Gardens a destination trip.

The Bellingrath’s Legacy America has produced many families who made fortunes. Through hard work, sacrifices, and determination they have made it possible for people to have a better life, quality health care, and education. Walter and Bessie Bellingrath would be at the top of the list of people who made a difference. In a letter to his mother, Walter wrote: “By God’s help, I am going to try and make the world better and brighter by my being here.” (Excerpt from a letter by Walter D. Bellingrath to his mother in 1892.)

During the Great Depression, friends made Bessie aware of families in need. Never wanting home owners to think she was offering charity, she would stop by a house, knock on the door and explain that they had a plant in their yard that she simply couldn’t find anywhere. Would they sell her a small cutting for her garden? At this time, the U.S. Government declared a family could live comfortably on $25 per week. Bessie might offer then several hundred dollars for the plant. Always shopping

for antiques, she realized that her purchase might be the only sale

New Orleans shop owners might make that week. Therefore, she would pay several times the value.

Throughout his lifetime, Walter used his income and leadership ability to make a difference in the community.

After his beloved wife’s sudden death in 1934 at the age of 64, he said, “These Gardens were my wife’s dream and I want to live to see that dream come true.”At age 80, he set up the Bellingrath-Morse Foundation, a not-forprofit organization that continues to benefit three Christian colleges: Rhodes College in Memphis, TN; Stillman College in Tuscaloosa, AL, and Huntingdon College in Montgomery, AL. Two churches benefited: Central Presbyterian Church in Mobile where he served as a deacon and his wife’s home church, St. Francis Methodist Church in Mobile. Most of the expense of the Gardens is covered in ticket sales, donations, and the restaurant.

The Bellingrath name has become synonymous as one of the South’s most generous benefactors. Not only during their lifetime, but this legacy continues today.

SAVING TIPS SAVING TIPS

1) Change your light bulbs to LEDs.

2) Wash your clothes in cold water if possible.

3) Clean or replace all filters in your home regularly. Dirty filters make your system work harder and run longer than necessary.

4) Use your microwave instead of your stove when cooking.

5) During warmer months, close blinds, shades and drapes on the sunny side of your home to help keep your home’s temperature cooler and reduce the work for you AC. Open shades during cooler months to let the sun warm your home.

6) Use natural light when possible.

7) Set your thermostat to 78F in the summer and 68F in the winter - every degree of extra heating or cooling will increase energy usage 6% to 8%. Setting your thermostat to a lower temperature than normal will not cool your home faster.

8) Refrigerators and freezers actually operate most efficiently when full, so keep your refrigerator and freezer as full as possible (using water bottles if nothing else). Don’t overfill - this will reduce airflow and cause the appliance to work harder. Set your refrigerator temperature to the manufacturer’s recommendation to avoid excessive cooling and wasting energy.

9) Using dishwashers and clothes washers/dryers at night will keep the house cooler, reduce strain on the power grid during the peak usage hours of 4 PM and 6 PM and reduce the chance of an emergency!

10) Turn off heated dry on your dishwasher and air dry instead.

11) Turn off the lights when they’re not in use.

Orange you excited for Halloween?

Halloween in Haywood coming this weekend

If you’re ready for Fall and all the autumnal events that come with it, then get ready because the festivities kick off this weekend with Halloween in Haywood, a not-so-spooky, family-fun event organized by Main Street Brownsville. It’s set for Saturday, October 1, beginning at 3 p.m. in downtown Brownsville.

According to Main Street Director Brittany Beaver, Halloween in Haywood has been in the works for over a year after she saw a similar event in St. Helen, Oregon. “They have ‘The Spirit of Halloweentown.’ They see 50,000 tourists each weekend in the month of October,” she explained. “People want to have Halloween family-friendly fun and I wanted to create that same atmosphere in West Tennessee. I believe we have created that, and I can’t wait to watch it grow year after year.”

With a team of volunteers, Main Street Brownsville has planned a frighteningly good time that will feature oddities like a giant pumpkin, man-eating plants (affectionately named Annabelle and Amelia), and a monster couch. There will also be character

meet and greets with over 30 characters (part of the proceeds will benefit the Haywood High School Drama Department) and hayrides through Oakwood Cemetery (again, part of the proceeds will support the cemetery).

So what’s the timeline?

Beginning at 3 p.m., visitors can join Story Time on the Chamber of Commerce steps, put on by the Elma Ross Public Library. Stories will also be told there again at 4, 5 and 6 p.m.

Character meet and greets will be held from 4-6 p.m. and the hayrides in Oakwood Cemetery from 4-8.

Main Street Brownsville will light the giant pumpkin at 6:50 and at 7, families will have the chance to watch Disney’s beloved 1998 movie, “Halloweentown.” And for those exploring the decorations following the film, they might just spot a familiar face from the movie – someone who’s dying to have fun –peeking out from a bright yellow taxi.

“I am so proud and thankful for the small group of individuals who want to see great events in our

community,” Beaver said. “These people stepped up and said let’s make it happen. Together we have created what we believe will be a fantastic Halloween event.”

MONIQUE MERRIWEATHER

Excitement is in the air! This week the Chamber of Commerce will release the first issue of the B & H Chamber quarterly newsletter. There are a lot of exciting events taking place and we want to make sure you are connected and engaged. Meet us on the Square Saturday, for Halloween in

Haywood at 3 p.m. Stop by the Chamber to hear some “spooky” stories.

The Chamber will host an Open House and “Business Happy Hour” on October 18 from 5-6 p.m., sponsored by Servpro. Come out and network with other businesses, enjoy

good food, drinks and door prizes. If you are interested in hosting a “Business Happy Hour” for the month of November, reach out to the chamber. If you have community activities and/ or events please share that information with the chamber and we will get it on the community calendar (731) 772-2193 or info@bhcchamber. org. Be well!

Congratulations

2022 Scarecrow Competition winners

Simply the best...

Tina Turner fans journeyed to Haywood County this weekend for the annual Tina Turner Heritage Days. Held virtually the last two years because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Sonia

Outlaw-Clark and the West Tennessee Delta Heritage Center (WTDHC) were excited to physically welcome back Turner enthusiasts for three days of “Tina Love.”

Groups of Tina Turner fans enjoyed a guided tour that featured the old stomping grounds of Anna Mae Bullock. One of their highly anticipated stops was in Nutbush where they took photos with the “Birthplace of Tina Turner” and “Tina Turner Highway” signage. Pictured at the front of the crowd in all white is Jacquline Renee’ Bullock, the niece of Tina Turner.

Ralph H. Craig III, Ph.D Candidate in Religious Studies at Stanford University, hosted a presentation at the WTDHC Saturday entitled, “Tina’s Prayer: More than a Song Title,” a commentary on the religious background of Tina Turner which includes “forms of African American protestant Christianity, Nichiren Buddhism, and a range of other religious beliefs.”

Pam Stephens (left) is recognized by the WTDHC director, Sonia Outlaw-Clark, for the gift her family made when they donated Tina Turner’s childhood school, Flagg Grove School, to the WTDHC. A plaque presented to her reads, “Thank you for your community mindfulness and your dedication to preserving the heritage of this little one room schoolhouse.”

At the historic Woodlawn Missionary Baptist Church, a stop during the Nutbush Tours, Robbie Jarret-King Ewing shares with Tina Turner fans her memories of the Bullock family attending worship services there during when Tina Turner was still known by Anna Mae Bullock.

Wonda “Ms. Sunset” Macon & the Moon Band performed Saturday night at the Tina Turner Heritage Days festival. The band brought their smooth Blues sound to Brownsville, as well as played some of Tina’s most notable hits for the Tina Turner-loving crowd.

Friday night, new Tina fan art was inducted at the West Tennessee Delta Heritage Center.

Eric Henry from Carthage, Tennessee, shows off his Tina Turner-inspired moves to “Proud Mary” Saturday night. Henry is a dedicated Turner fan and a frequent visitor of the Tina Turner Heritage Days.

Undefeated… until they met the Tomcats

Tomcats move to 5-0

For the second week in a row, the Tomcats have gone on the road and blown out an undefeated team. The Tomcats visited Memphis Melrose Friday night, September 23, and commenced a scoring frenzy yet again.

CLAYTON CONVERSE

The scoring started with 9:21 left in the 1st quarter as Cordero Walker connected with Jamari Person on a 38-yard touchdown pass. Tyler Williams scored from 74 yards out in the quarter and Cam Miller also added a touchdown. Nick Jarrett and Kemonte Williams scored in the 2nd quarter to make the score 35-14 Tomcats at half. Both Tyler Williams and Person added scores in the second half and the Tomcats left Memphis with a 49-16 victory and 5-0 record.

Turning to the second half of the regular season, the Tomcats will travel to 1-5 Jackson North Side this Friday.

The Indians have lost 0-36 at Hardin County, 0-41 versus Covington, 0-24 at Obion Co., 0-8 at Ripley, and 6-42 versus SGC. However, the Indians do have momentum now as they rolled cross-town rival Liberty 39-0 at home last Thursday. This is a region contest for the Tomcats.

Haywood remains the #3 4A team in Tennessee, according to AP, behind only Greeneville and Anderson County. Following the Tomcats in the rankings are Red Bank, Marshall County, Pearl-Cohn, Macon County, Hardin County, Stone Memorial, and at 10th, a tie between Upperman and Memphis Craigmont. Receiving votes were Dekalb County, Milan, and South Doyle.

It’s time to paint Northside purple on Friday, and if you can’t make it we encourage you to stream the game on the Brownsville Radio Facebook page. Go Tomcats! Beat North Side!

Temple Adas Israel commemorates Rosh Hashanah

Mayor Rawls earns master’s degree

Brownsville’s Temple Adas Israel, the oldest synagogue in Tennessee, welcomed individuals over the weekend to celebrate Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. The festival, meaning “first of the year” or “head of the year,” is a time for reflection for all Jews. Rosh Hashanah is celebrated with symbolic foods, prayers, synagogue services, and the blowing of the shofar (the ram’s horn), which is a traditional horn.

Fred Silverstein explained that Sunday’s service on September 25 marked the 140th for the local Temple and the 155th for the founding of Congregation Adas Israel. With pews filled, attendees included Congressman David Kustoff, City of Brownsville Mayor Bill Rawls, Judge Lyle Reid, Judge Jenny Scott, Judge Clayborn Peeples, County Commissioner Richard Jameson, Rev. Ray Chandler and Bro. Bob Connerly.

Senator Page Walley also joined and presented the Temple with a Senate Proclamation. “What a blessing to worship with this historic and remarkable congregation at the oldest synagogue in Tennessee,” Walley shared. “[It] was privileged to present a Senate Proclamation to them commemorating and memorializing their lengthy, rich history and service to Tennessee.”

City of Brownsville

Mayor Bill Rawls knows the importance of continued education which is why he’s excited to share his most recent achievement. This week Rawls received a master’s degree from Lipscomb University in Leadership and Public Service.

“I received a full scholarship from the Ayers foundation which gave me the opportunity to collaborate with top leaders from across the state,” he commented.

“This intense learning experience has been amazing. Navigating through masters’ level curriculums that are geared towards leadership, from statistics to negotiations, collaboration and state budgeting, this experience allows me to better serve the City of Brownsville and the region as we all elevate our conversation and opportunities.”

There are 36 Century Farms in Haywood County and more than 2100 in Tennessee.

The state marker designating Haywood County Farm a Tennessee Century Farm was unveiled Friday by Haywood Heritage with community supporters attending. This state honor recognizes the farm for more than 150 years of continuous production under county ownership. Haywood County originally acquired 150 acres in 1868 with then-County Court declaring it a “beautiful building spot...advantageous to the County” to provide food and shelter to those in need. This storied farmstead now measures 86.5 acres consisting of cropland, the “pauper” cemetery, 1970s former county jail, and several historic structures, most built in the 1930s under the Federal CWA Program.

Retired County Commissioner Robert Green attended Friday’s event, aptly arriving in a blue Ford pickup. Green has been instrumental in efforts to preserve the at-risk cemetery. Summing up Friday’s recognition, Commissioner Sharon Hayes commended Green and all those devoted to preserving and invigorating this historically significant place for future educational, heritage, and community initiatives.

Haywood Leadership, the adult leadership development program offered by the Brownsville-Haywood County Chamber of Commerce, met with its newest class Thursday night, September 22, for their annual overnight trip at Our Lady Queen of Peace.

NOTICE

from B5

GABE HART

HHS Chief Communications Officer

The week of September 19-23 was College Application Week in Haywood County Schools. The Ayers Foundation at Haywood High School partnered with GEAR UP of Haywood County to encourage each senior to apply to at least one college. Many colleges and universities are waiving the application fee for the month of September in the state of Tennessee.

To encourage students to apply for college this week, activities were scheduled each day that allowed students to learn more about college and the process of applying to a post-secondary institution. Listed below are the days of the week and the events that occurred on those days:

Monday - Peer panel with Hay-

wood High School alumni who are currently enrolled in colleges in Tennessee.

Tuesday - Students created pennants with the name of the college or university in which they plan to apply.

Wednesday - A Jackson State enrollment counselor came to the Student Options Academy to help students fill out applications.

Thursday - Students were given pieces of candy in exchange for filling out a college application, Friday - Seniors who wore a college t-shirt were entered into a drawing to win a gift card.

The Ayers Foundation and GEAR UP want every senior at Haywood High School to apply to at least one college or university by the end of September.

Color Me Haywood:

Arts in Education Week recognized in HCS

National Arts in Education Week takes place annually during the week beginning with the second Sunday of September. This year it fell on September 11 – 17 and Haywood County Schools partnered with the Brownsville Arts Council to celebrate.

According to Achana Jarrett, Director of the Brownsville Arts Council, this year’s theme is “Color Me Haywood.”

“Each school has a giant coloring page displayed and affixed to

from B3

a wall for the students to color,” said Jarrett. “Coloring pages consist of historic places and places of interest throughout Haywood County, such as a lily pad from O’Neal Lake, Mindfield, Tamm Park, College Hill and much more.”

Jarrett said the finished

abuse, destruction of property, isolation from friends and family, and harassment and intimidation, to name a few.

“Domestic abuse and sexual assault remains a hidden problem in our communities,” said Mamie Hutcherson, Executive Director of WRAP. “It is characterized by silence—silence from those who suffer, silence from those around them, and silence from those who perpetrate abuse. This silence is corrosive; it leaves women, children, and men carrying the burden of shame. It prevents them from speaking out about their abuse and it prevents them from getting help. At its worst, it can be and has been fatal to our families in West Tennessee.”

WRAP advocates throughout the region are collaborating with the counties they serve in a variety of ways, including proclamations, walks and special events. Local businesses interested in supporting the wellbeing of their employees, can contact their local advocate for an “Employer Toolkit” filled with resources. WRAP will partner across the West Tennessee area to Go PURPLE to support domestic violence survivors on Oct. 14. Pictures of individuals or groups wearing purple can be shared to WRAP‘s Facebook page at /WrapWestTN using the hashtag #WRAPGOESPURPLE.

WRAP (Wo/Men’s Resource & Rape Assistance Program) is a non-profit agency that provides trauma informed supportive services to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault and their families. Services are free and confidential and include a 24/7 helpline, counseling, safety planning, safe homes, hospital and court accompaniment, advocacy, and resource linkage. WRAP serves 19 counties in West Tennessee. For more information, visit their website at www.wraptn.org, their Facebook page at WrapWestTN, or call their 24/7 helpline at 800273-8712.
