Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam announced a workforce development grant of $126,549 for the Tennessee College of Applied TechnologyWhiteville to enhance the machine tool program at the school’s extension campus in Brownsville. The governor proposed and the General Assembly approved $16.5 million in this year’s budget for equipment and technology related to workforce development programs at Tennessee colleges of applied technology and community colleges, part of Haslam’s “Drive to 55” effort to increase the number of Tennesseans with postsecondary credentials. These strategic investments resulted from the governor meeting with businesses and education officials across the state last fall to better understand workforce development needs. One of the most common themes he heard was the lack of capacity and equipment at Tennessee colleges of applied technology and community colleges to

meet job demand, so these grants are aimed at addressing those gaps. This grant will provide upgrades to equipment for hands-on learning in the metal working field at the school, Haslam said. We will need qualified Tennesseans to fill skilled positions in the workforce, and these programs help fill that need. Currently, only 32

percent of Tennesseans have certificates or degrees beyond high school, and studies show that by 2025 that number must be 55 percent to meet workforce demands. Haslam’s Drive to 55 initiative is designed to address that workforce need on several fronts, including the funds for the state’s colleges of

applied technology and community colleges. The equipment at the Tennessee College of Applied TechnologyWhiteville will be a computer numerical control lathe and a vertical machining center. This state-ofthe-art equipment better prepares the school to address needs with advanced

technology in highquality academic programs. Tennessee is seeing growth in manufacturing, and manufacturing sector employment gains are expected to continue to rise in the state, according to the Center for Business and Economic Research at the University of Tennessee.

Wreck on Marvin Chapel injures one BY JENNIFER WILLIS jwillis@statesgraphic. com

Brownsville States Graphic/Jennifer Willis

Just after 5 pm on Monday, October 28, emergency crews responded to a possible accident with injuries on Marvin Chapel Road. Upon arrival, crews found a vehicle standing vertically and resting against a tree. Air Evac later transported the victim of the accident to the hospital. A request was made to the Tennessee Highway Patrol for a report, but at press time that report was not available, nor was any information on the condition of the victim.

Officers respond to domestic, which leads to pursuit Later respond to shots fired call on Powell Street BY JENNIFER WILLIS jwillis@statesgraphic.com

Marcus Liggon

Jason Oldham

According to a press release from the Brownsville Police Department, officers responded to a possible domestic in progress call on Addie B. Street Monday, October 28 around 9 pm. As officers arrived on the scene a subject, identified as 25-year-old Marcus Liggon, fled the scene in his vehicle and refused to

stop for the officers. During his attempt to flee, Liggon sideswiped another vehicle before leaving the roadway. Liggon was arrested following the accident, and was booked into the Haywood County Jail. A few hours later, right around 3 am, officers responded to a shots fired call on Powell Street. Officers received a description of the vehicle, and located it shortly thereafter.

During a search of the vehicle, officers discovered a loaded handgun inside. Twenty-nine year old Jason Oldham was charged with aggravated assault, along with some traffic violations, and was also booked into the Haywood County Jail.

Exchange Club and Ward One pair up for National Day of Community Service

BY JENNIFER WILLIS jwillis@statesgraphic. com The Brownsville Exchange Club and Ward One came together on the morning of Saturday, October 26 to clean up Monroe, McLemore, and Thomas Streets in honor of National Day of Community Service. According to a press release from their website, for more than 20 years USA WEEKEND Magazine and Points of Light have joined together to sponsor Make A Difference Day, the largest national day of community service. Make A Difference Day is a celebration of neighbors helping neighbors. Millions of volunteers

from around the world will unite in a common mission to improve the lives of others on Make A Difference Day. Thousands of projects are planned each year involving corporations, communities, nonprofit organizations, entire states and individuals. The stories told around Make A Difference Day show that anyone - regardless of age, location or resources can accomplish amazing things when they take on the problems they see in their community. More than 15 local residents participated in Saturday’s event, which lasted from 9 am until about 11 am, and they picked up more than 20 bags worth of garbage.

Willis speaks to Exchange Club

How to cook a turkey...

Captain Chuck Willis from the Brownsville Police Department was the guest speaker at the Brownsville Exchange Club meeting on Wednesday, October 16. He gave a presentation on identity theft, and answered many questions from members wanting to know how to protect themselves from becoming a victim of identity theft.

Our sweet little Mama, Louise Barden Autry went to be with our Lord, just over two months ago. We miss her every day. We believe we had the greatest mother one could possibly have, and were so blessed to have her as long as we did. We would like to take this opportunity to extend our warmest thanks and show our sincere heartfelt gratitude to all those who showed their love and support during her illness and our loss. We would like to extend our thanks to the Haywood Ambulance Authority employees for the many times they came out, day and night to help us get her up from a fall. They always had a smile and were so gracious to help. We want to thank the staff at Crestview Healthcare and Rehabilitaiton Center for making her last months as comfortable and pleasant as possible. Especially for those special ladies who loved and cared for mama as if she was their own. We appreciated all you did. To Brownsville Funeral Home, we thank you for your kindness and compassion during mama’s services, and for the Living Memorial. A special thank you goes to Mr. Bradford for the lighthearted yet touching sentiment on that sad day at Crestview. It will not be forgotten. Thanks to City Works for the unscheduled branch pickup. We also thank Chief Chris Lea and the Brownsville Police Department. To the members of Woodland Baptist Church, Zion Baptist Church, and Holly Grove Baptist Church, your support and kindness has meant so much to us, words cannot express how we feel. God has truly blessed us with amazing church families. Thank you Diane for the sweet words you gave in the eulogy. Oh! Granny would have loved it and appreciated every word. Finally to all of those who called, sent cards, brought food, prayed, gave in memorial, or served in any way to make this time easier for us, we are so thankful. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you all. May God bless and keep each of you. The Family of Louise Barden Autry

Devotional Page Page 12 — The Brownsville States-Graphic, Thursday, The November 3, 2011 States-Graphic Brownsville

Weekly Devotional “And suddenly there came a sound from Heaven as of a rushing mighty wind and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. (Acts 2:2) I was returning home from work several years ago and became involved in what could have been a life threatening or fatal accident. It was totally pitch dark that night as I came upon a hill on an asphalt highway. Near the top of the hill, an approaching motorist was blinking his lights. Not knowing what was beyond the hill, I hit the brakes. The next thing that I remembered was taking a terrible hit from a Black Angus cow. I remember only total darkness and the sound of what appeared to be a strong and powerful wind. Although the car was a total loss, I required no medical attention and walked away from the scene. Professionals arriving on the scene could not understand how I escaped death. Reminders of that experience pop up now and then. My life did not pass before my eyes but why the extreme darkness and mighty wind? I’ve looked at the possibility that the darkness of that night could have symbolized death as described in Revelation 6:8 reaching out for me but the mighty raging wind symbolizing God’s Spirit, plucked me from the jaws of death. I’ve come to believe that it was God’s mercy letting me know that He wasn’t finished with me yet and that it just wasn’t my time.

Off the Beaten Path with Jerry Wilson

How do you get there from here? There are more and more options today when it comes to receiving directions for traveling purposes. First of all, there is the old faithful, dependable method of asking a member of the local crowd for direction. This method has been old reliable for me over the years because the local folks seem to know more about their surrounding areas. However, sometimes interpreters are needed to clarify the directions given. There are also times when the person contacted is not very much in the know. One of my most memorable moments regarding this subject took place during a trip to Nashville. I was trying to get to the State Capitol but was unaware before my journey about the construction work going on in that area. It took quite a few minutes and lot of frustration before someone was finally found who gave me proper directions. I have almost given up on this method. I’m certain the locals know a way to go but some have all kind of problems verbally relaying the directions. Here’s what I mean. “Go down yonder to the second street. Turn right

and go till you come to a brick building with a bright tin roof…..uh….. uh…..uh.. You know I’ve never been to the state building and I just might get you lost. You might aught to try someone else.” Really! There are other sources when looking for certain direction in what we call “unmarked” areas. For instance in my younger days, landmarks were often the source of navigation instructions. They could consist of lakes, cotton gins, barns, etc. These were the days when highway signs were not available in most rural areas. Today, most of these landmarks are all gone, especially in rural areas and even the topography has changed so that nothing is recognizable. A second method that is still very much used today is relying on maps or road atlases. There are problems that surface quiet frequently here due to so much construction of new streets and roads and highway improvement. It may be impossible in some cases for the publishers of the maps to keep the publications up dated. This method will likely be around for quite sometimes due to the percentage of the

population that is not into computers or the Internet. There are also many folks out that who are not often geared to the road and their travels are very frequent. When they do travel, they are most often familiar with their route. The third method for navigation directions will probably be around for a long time. The Global Positioning Service (GPS) provides millions world wide with instructions that has saved time, eliminated a lot of confusion, and made travel more enjoyable. I don’t have a GPS system just yet but I am becoming a believer. It just took me a while to grow accustomed to someone talking to me and giving instruction from the dashboard. It wasn’t easy placing such confidence in someone that we can’t carry on a conversation with. And by the way, I recall at least one misguided direction. When we arrived at what was to be our location, it appeared to resemble a small city dump. But our destination was only a few blocks away. We had a laugh or two and reached out destination in plenty of time.

Be courteous, please! I have noticed more and more lately how inconsiderate people can be, and it really bothers me! I have been trying really hard not to write about it here, but I just have to after yesterday’s ordeal… Have you noticed the same things I have? Let me share the best example I’ve seen in a while of how much of a lack of common courtesy some have. I ran into Walmart after work yesterday, which is always a bad idea. It is always extra busy when everybody is getting off of work and stopping to grab something for dinner, just like I was doing. But, Sarah wanted to make homemade mac-and-cheese, and I didn’t have all of the stuff we needed. Surprisingly enough, it wasn’t extra busy. Jacob and I ran in, found what we needed, stopped to look at the DreamLites they have on display up front, as usual, and headed to the checkout. Lately I have been using the self-checkout, which I love by the way. But, because I had weighable produce, I

had to go through a regular checkout line. There were two people in front of me. Not too bad for 5:15! Anyway, Jake was oohing and aahing over the few toys they had up front, and begging to get him and his sister a candy bar for “dessert.” The person attempting to checkout was trying to use a card to pay for his purchases, but there was apparently some type of problem. As the cashier was telling him about the problem, his cell phone rang. He took it out of his pocket, looked at the caller ID, and slid the “answer” button to the right on his iPhone 5…right in the middle of the cashier explain their was a problem! It was, I assume, some type of automated call because he kept punching numbers on the phone before he ever began talking to anyone. So, all of us people behind him in line waited…and waited…and waited. When he FINALLY finished his conversation several minutes later, he asked the cashier to tell him again what the problem

was, and then asked if he should try a different card. Thirty seconds later his transaction was complete, and he headed out of the store with his purchases. Now, I have one question. Why not return a call that comes in when you are in the middle of a transaction, and there are people waiting behind you? It’s called common courtesy. Occasionally my own phone will ring while I am checking out, or am in line at the bank, or am having a conversation with somebody. But, I wait and return that call as soon as I can if at all possible. And by if at all possible, I mean as long as it is not a TRUE emergency. Even then I would try to be polite and say “excuse me” and either walk away or let the person behind me go ahead and checkout while I headed to the side until I finished my conversation. I think it is the only courteous thing to do, and common courtesy is one thing that is missing from our everyday lives.

Peeples

By 28th Judicial District Circuit Court Judge

The Silent Generation I just read yet another article about how the Social Security system is in danger of breaking down completely because of the onslaught of Baby Boomers who are beginning to retire in record numbers. Baby Boomers, of course, are the “generation” of people born from 1946 to 1964. We love to create and name generations in this country, and volumes and volumes have been devoted to explaining the differences among them. The theory behind all this differentiation is that the group of people who grew up at the same time as you did, your birth cohort, will have similar characteristics as you do. Like it or not, they say, the generation in which we grew up really does define us because of common shared experiences, especially those during the critical 16 to 25-year-old decade of our lives. You’ve heard of some of these “generations.” Baby Boomers, of course, come to mind first. Seventy-six million strong, they are Americans born from 1946 to 1964, the largest generation, at that time, in our history, and in addition to gobbling up resources in every institution through which they have passed, from kindergarten to college to nursing homes, and now Social Security, they have left cultural wreckage in their wake everywhere. The other generation you’ve probably heard about is the G.I. Generation. They were people born from 1900 to 1924. The latter born members of that cohort bore the brunt of World War II and are often admiringly referred to as “The Greatest Generation.” But what about that group sandwiched between the G.I.s and the Boomers? What do we call them? As I said, we love to name generations, and this one has a name too. It’s called “The Silent Generation,” and like other generations, the Silent Generation has its own unique place in the socio-economic and cultural history of our nation, but because of the drama associated with the G.I. Generation and

the fiery noise and disruption of the Baby Boomers, The Silent Generation hasn’t gotten the attention, or the credit, it deserves. What are its characteristics? Well, for one, its members are the most successful generation in American history. Numbering only 55 million, because of the low birthrate during the Depression and the War, they were the first American generation smaller than the one preceding it. Most of their parents were poor almost beyond comprehension in the affluent age in which we live. Because of that, the Silents are our strongest and most self-reliant generation. But they haven’t been too silent about everything. They single handedly began both the feminist and the Civil Rights Movement. Silent women were the first generation of women to become active in politics, and both men and women in that group still vote in higher numbers than any other age group. They’re also, in many ways, the luckiest generation. Their parents, poor though they were, had the most stable marriages in history. The Silents were also, both male and female, the best educated generation in history. Future generations may have had more schooling, but less education. Because of their small numbers, there was less competition for jobs for them, and because of their high educational level they

were perfectly poised to take advantage of the booming economic prosperity following World War II, and they did. A greater percentage of them advanced into leadership positions in business and technology than any other generation. And they made lots and lots of money. That’s one reason The Silent Generation holds about 75% of all the wealth in America today. They also were lucky when it came to retirement, receiving the best benefit packages in history. But on the way to that retirement they literally made the United States the economic and military power we now foolishly take for granted. It was the Silent Generation that made the United States the preeminent nation in the world. How were they different from other generations? Well first, they were, and are, very private (hence the name, Silent Generation) and very proud. Most of them have a very defined sense of right and wrong. They believe in authority and rules. They are disciplined and detailed. They pay attention to history, and being educated, they know it. They developed the space program. They invented the computer, the transistor and the micro chip, not to mention vaccines for polio, tuberculosis, tetanus and whooping cough, all once wholesale killers. And not only that, they invented rock and roll. How cool is that!

Senate Education Committee to work with Senate Government Operations Committee to review state’s textbook selection process The Senate Education Committee will hold hearings on the Tennessee Textbook Commission next week in collaboration with the Senate Government Operations Committee according to Education Committee Chairman Dolores Gresham (R-Somerville) and Government Operations Committee Chairman

Mike Bell (R-Riceville). The hearings will take place on Monday, November 4 at 1:00 pm, and Tuesday, November 5 at 9:00 am, in Room 12 of the Legislative Plaza in Nashville. Gresham said the hearings are being conducted for the purpose of seeking clarity regarding the structure and function of the State

Textbook Commission. The Commission is scheduled to be evaluated under the state’s Sunset Review process. Departments and agencies of state government are subject to the periodical sunset review process to determine whether the entities are functioning properly and if they should be retained,

modified, or abolished. “Parents and community leaders across the state have raised concerns regarding the process of textbook selection because of the content and bias found in textbooks in a local school district,” said Senator Gresham. "We will be looking at the structure and function of

this commission to help ensure that textbooks used in this state are tools of education, not indoctrination.” The Textbook Commission recently came under fire by a group of parents for having adopted textbooks containing inappropriate language and a controversial interpretation of

historical facts. The Commission is composed of ten members whose responsibility is to recommend an official list of textbooks for approval of the State Board of Education. Local school systems choose which textbooks to adopt from the official state textbook list for a six-year period.

Halloween partiers beware: Brownsville PD cracking down on drunk drivers

Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over

This Halloween, Brownsville police will crack down on drunk drivers throughout the region with an aggressive Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over

enforcement effort, and the Brownsville Police Department has given a fair warning to all partygoers: keep the party off the road. “The scariest part of

Halloween is not the spooky costumes and scary pranks, it’s the impaired drivers. All too often, partygoers don’t plan ahead and choose to drive impaired, but a costume can’t disguise drunk driving,” said Chief Lea. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), from 20072011, 52 percent of all national fatalities occurring on Halloween night involved a drunk driver. In 2011, when Halloween fell on a Monday, 44 percent of the nation’s fatalities

during the Halloween weekend occurred in a crash involving a driver or a motorcycle operator with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or higher. Thirty-eight percent of fatalities on Halloween night occurred in a crash involving a driver or a motorcycle operator with a BAC of .08 or higher. Young men are particularly at risk of being involved in a traffic crash as a result of “buzzed” or drunk driving. Males ages 2134 comprised almost half of all drunk drivers who were killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes

nationwide during the 2011 Halloween period. “If you celebrate with alcohol, you don’t belong behind the wheel.” Chief Lea said. “A sober and safe ride after the party is the best treat you can give yourself and everyone else on the road this Halloween.” To keep safe this Halloween, Brownsville Police Department recommends these tips: Before the Halloween festivities begin, plan a way to safely get home at the end of the night. Always designate a sober driver. If you are impaired, take a taxi, call a

sober friend or family member, or use public transportation. Walking impaired can be just as dangerous as drunk driving. Designate a sober friend to walk you home. If you see a drunk driver on the road, contact local law enforcement. If you know someone who is about to drive or ride while impaired, take their keys and help them make safe travel arrangements to where they are going.

Department of Transportation, Department of Safety and Homeland Security take action to help curb traffic fatalities in TN The commissioners of the Tennessee Department of Tr a n s p o r t a t i o n (TDOT) and the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security (TDOSHS) today announced specific actions their agencies are taking to help curb the number of traffic fatalities in Tennessee. As of October 17, there have been 800 people killed on Tennessee roadways in 2013. That is the same number of fatalities this same time last year. T D O T Commissioner John Schroer announced his department will display the daily traffic fatality figures on its dynamic

message boards across the state. This figure will be updated each weekday and will be compared to the number of fatalities on the same date in 2012. “It’s my hope that seeing the fatality numbers on a daily basis will help drivers make better decisions that can save lives,” Schroer said. “Whether it’s putting your phone down, watching your speed, buckling your seat belt, or choosing not to drive impaired, every single motorist can do their part to prevent more tragedies on our roadways.” T D O S H S Commissioner Bill Gibbons said the Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) will

continue to focus on specific DUI and seatbelt enforcement efforts that will include special enforcement c a m p a i g n s throughout the upcoming holiday travel season. “While we made great progress in the first six months of 2013 compared to last year, the last three months have been very deadly on Tennessee roadways,” Gibbons said. “I know that our stepped up efforts at DUI and seat belt enforcement have saved lives. We will continue to focus on those areas.” Tennessee Highway Patrol Colonel Tracy Trott released preliminary data that show decreases

in the state wide number of alcoholrelated crashes and the number of people alcoholkilled in related crashes to date in 2013, compared to this time last year. A total of 172 individuals have died in alcohol-related crashes through October 16, compared to 252 at this time in 2012 (a drop of 31.7 percent). To date, there has been a 10.7 percent decline in total alcohol-related crashes this year. The THP has taken a strategic and data driven approach this year to DUI enforcement efforts that has resulted in 5,039 arrests for driving under the influence through

October 16. That is a 10 percent increase over the number of DUI arrests made this time last year (4,578). State troopers have greatly focused on issuing seatbelt citations in 2013, as well, resulting in a 52.2 percent increase compared to this time last year (59,918 citations in 2013; 39,392 in 2012.) So far this year, there have been 289 unrestrained fatalities on Tennessee roadways, compared to 331 this time last year (a 12.7 percent decrease). “I believe our enforcement efforts are making a difference. I know we have helped saved lives. But I am concerned that the number of fatalities

continues to rise. We will continue to use proven enforcement campaigns, such as Operation Nighthawk, and other aggressive efforts, especially during the holiday travel season,” Trott said. “The safety of the citizens who travel our roadways is our number one priority. We will continue to work together to utilize education, e n f o rc e m e n t , engineering, and emergency response to increase safety, especially when we see alarming trends in fatalities like we’ve seen over the past three months,” added Kendell Poole, director of the Governor’s Highway Safety Office.

THP to increase patrols during Halloween Urges motorists to watch for pedestrians The Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) Colonel Tracy Trott announced today that State Troopers will plan for increased patrols and conduct a variety of enforcement plans to help ensure a safe Halloween for citizens across the state. Halloween is consistently one of the top three days for pedestrian injuries and fatalities, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Additionally, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimate children are four times as likely to be struck by a vehicle on Halloween as any other day. NHTSA also noted that 52 percent of all national fatalities occurring on Halloween night involve a drunk driver. “We are urging motorists to pay attention to the road and don’t drive distracted or impaired. State Troopers will seek out and remove any aggressive or impaired drivers from our roadways to allow for a safe and happy Halloween,” Colonel Trott said. Last year in Tennessee, three people were killed during the Halloween period between 6 p.m. on October 31 through 6 a.m., November 1. Two of those fatalities were alcoholrelated. That compares to zero fatalities during the Halloween period in 2011. As of October 28, there have been 66 pedestrian fatalities in Tennessee in 2013. That’s 15 more pedestrian deaths compared to this same time last year. The CDC reported that alcohol involvement – either for the driver or pedestrian – was reported in 47 percent of traffic crashes that resulted in pedestrian fatalities nationwide. According to the National Center for

Statistics and Analysis (NCSA), 115 child pedestrian fatalities occurred on Halloween over a 21-year period (1990-2010). That is more than twice the average number of 2.6 fatalities on other days of the year. The study also concluded it was particularly dangerous between the hours of 6:00-7:00 p.m. In 2012, state troopers issued 328 speeding citations and arrested 13 individuals on suspicion of drunk driving on October 31. This Halloween, the THP will conduct bar and tavern checks, sobriety checkpoints, and seat belt saturations across the state. Below are tips parents, children and motorists should keep in mind before heading this Halloween. HALLOWEEN SAFETY TIPS Tips for Motorists Slow down. Watch for children walking on roads, medians and curbs. Be extra alert when pulling in and out of driveways. Be especially alert for children darting out from between parked vehicles and from behind bushes and shrubs. They’re excited and may not be paying attention. Do not pass other vehicles that have stopped in the roadway. They could be dropping off children. If you are driving to a Halloween party, put your mask on after you park the car. Never drink and drive – tonight or any night. If you are partying, designate a driver. Tips for Parents Adults should accompany children at all times and supervise their “trick or treat” activities. Teach children to

“stop, look left-rightleft, and listen” before they cross the street. Instruct children to stay on sidewalks and to cross only at corners or crosswalks. Use a flashlight and wear retro-reflective strips or patches on your clothing or costume to be more visible to motorists. Be certain that the mask does not obstruct vision or hearing. Ensure that costumes do not impede walking or driving ability. Tips for Pedestrians (children and adults) Require children to wear retro-reflective materials and carry a flashlight at dawn and dusk and in other lowlight situations, such as rainy or foggy weather. Before crossing a street, stop at the curb or edge of the road and look left, right and left again to be sure no cars are coming. Continue to check for traffic while on the street. Walk – never run – from house to house or across the road. Cross the street only at intersections and crosswalks. When crossing at an intersection with a traffic light, be sure to watch for turning cars. Obey all pedestrian signals. Walk on sidewalks whenever possible. If there are no sidewalks, walk on the left side of the street facing traffic. The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security’s (www.TN.Gov/safety) mission is to ensure that our state is a safe, secure place in which to live, work and travel; enforce the law with integrity; and provide customer-focused services professionally and efficiently.

If there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic as far to the left as possible. Watch for cars that are turning or backing up. Never dart out into the street or cross between parked cars.

Adults should accompany trick-or-treaters •

Children under the age of 12 should not be alone at night without adult supervision. If kids are mature enough to be out without supervision, they should stick to familiar areas that are well lit and trick-or-treat in groups.

Costumes can be creative, but keep them safe • • • •

Decorate costumes and bags with reflective tape or stickers and, if possible, choose light colors. Choose face paint and makeup whenever possible instead of masks, which can obstruct a child’s vision. Have kids carry glow sticks or flashlights to help them see and be seen by drivers. When selecting a costume, make sure it is the right size to prevent trips and falls.

Drivers: Drive with extra care on Halloween • • • • • •

Slow down and be especially alert in residential neighborhoods. Children are excited on Halloween and may move in unpredictable ways. Take extra time to look for kids at intersections and in driveways. Enter and exit driveways slowly and carefully. Drive slowly, anticipate heavy pedestrian traffic, and turn your headlights on earlier in the day to spot children from greater distances. As ALWAYS, do NOT text and drive! Put your cell phones away! Trick-or-treating in Brownsville is from 5 pm until 8 pm, so be especially cautious during these hours.

Sixth Annual Trick or Treat with Me is October 31 Brownsville and Haywood County merchants invite areas children to “Trick or Treat with Me� on Thursday, October 31, from 4-7 p.m. The annual event is sponsored by the Brownsville Business Association (BBA) and has become a favorite among children and adults. The event began in 2008 when BBA members recognized a need for a safer alternative to traditional trick or treating. By remaining open later and offering this service to the children, merchants feel that they are providing a safer environment for the young people of our community. “The kids still get to experience the excitement of going door-to-door,� says BBA President Diane Hooper, “and the parents have the peace of mind of knowing this is a lot safer than visiting homes and neighborhoods they are not familiar with.� “Trick or Treat with Me� is open to children ages 12 and under and each child is encouraged to dress in his or her favorite costume. Parents will recognize participating merchants by the purple and orange “Trick or Treat with Me� poster in windows. Last year over 20 businesses stayed open for this special event. For more information, or to sign-up your business to participate, contact the BBA at 731-780-5144 or e-mail: info@shopbrownsvilletn.com.

TDOC launches Operation Blackout As part of its mission to enhance public safety, the Department of Correction (TDOC) will expand efforts to protect Tennessee children on Halloween night. The agency’s probation/parole officers and apprehension unit will be joined by local law enforcement agencies and the U.S. Marshals to ensure sex offenders under TDOC supervision adhere to strict guidelines. “Operation Blackoutâ€? will result in an increased presence of law enforcement in the community and random visits to the homes of sex offenders who must adhere to the following guidelines: • Remain inside their homes between the hours of 6:00pm -6:00am. • Leave porch lights off on Halloween night. • Are not permitted to open their doors for trick-or-treaters. • Only open their doors for law enforcement officers. • Are not permitted to display fall decorations, wear costumes or dress in disguise.

National Bullying Prevention Month campaign held in October

BY MEGAN DAVIS ads@statesgraphic.com Bullying is an ongoing struggle that some children face everyday. In an effort to combat bullying, the National Bullying Prevention Month campaign is held every year during the month of October. The campaign was founded in 2006 by PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center, and each year the campaign encourages more businesses, companies, and individuals to take part. “The culture of bullying won’t end until people across the country take action and show kids that they care,� said Julie Hertzog, director of PACER’s National Bullying Prevention

Center. “National Bullying Prevention Month is a great opportunity to do that. This is a very real and painful issue that kids are facing but they don’t have to face it alone. Bullying can be prevented if we all work together to change the culture.� According to a survey by Green Giant and PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center, “four-in-five moms think their kids will witness a bullying incident at school.� The children that do not witness the incident are more likely to be the ones being bullied or do the bullying. To combat this problem, PACER has joined with Green Giant in an antibullying movement as stated in the following press release from PACER. “October 1 [began]

National Bullying Prevention Month and Green Giant’s new partnership with PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center to help parents and kids find the courage to speak up and take action against bullying. The partnership’s efforts will aid schools and families nationwide, just as a new survey reveals parents’ strong need to help stop bullying. Nine-in-10 parents (90 percent) want to empower their child to help his/ her peers who are being bullied, according to the Raise a Giant survey by Green Giant. However, about half (45 percent) are worried their child won’t know what to do if he/she is the target of bullying. The Power of Pairing Giants

To help children stand up to bullying, Green Giant has created Raise a Giant, a campaign that pairs parents and kids together to end bullying through various tools and activities, including a media event to celebrate PACER’s Unity Day on October 9 – a special day to support bullying prevention. The campaign will center around an online open-letter writing campaign at a new website, raiseagiant.com, where parents will use the power of story-telling to stand tall against the issue. Green Giant will also engage bloggers and media to write and share letters and videos about bullying, aiming to stop bullying in their own communities and introduce a school curriculum funded by Green Giant and created by PACER. Raise a Giant will also use the power of social media through shareable Facebook badges and leverage Twitter and Pinterst, increasing awareness and encouraging positive change in communities nationwide. “Kids who are bullied may suffer from anxiety and depression. They can feel scared, helpless and alone,� said Julie Hertzog, director of PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center. “We’re proud to partner with Green Giant to empower moms and kids to take positive action in their communities.�

“Green Giant goes to great lengths to help people grow and thrive physically by providing a variety of veggies,� said John Stockman, associate marketing director for Green Giant. “Through this campaign, we also help them thrive emotionally by addressing one of the biggest issues facing families today – bullying. Our new movement will empower witnesses of bullying to be passionate, proactive advocates to end bullying, creating stronger families and communities n a t i o n w i d e . � The campaign’s goal of delivering easy tools for families to learn how best to handle – or even prevent – incidents of bullying in their communities resonates strongly with both moms and dads, according to the Raise a Giant survey. When asked “what would help empower you and your child to prevent bullying,� parents cited the following: Having an easy tool to educate my child on how to best handle a bullying situation – 64 percent Helping my child start a positive dialogue with his/her peers about bullying – 55 percent For more campaign information, visit raiseagiant.com.� Children and teens aren’t always prepared to admit that they have been bullied, but there are signs parents can look for. These signs include having torn, damaged, or missing pieces of clothing, books,

or other belongings; having unexplained cuts, bruises, and scratches from fighting; having few, if any, friends with whom he or she spends time, seems afraid of going to school, walking to and from school, riding the school bus, or taking part in organized activities (such as clubs or sports) with peers; taking a long "illogical" route when walking to or from school; losing interest in doing school work, or suddenly begin to do poorly in school; appearing sad, moody, teary, or depressed when he or she comes home; complaining frequently of headaches, stomachaches, or other physical problems; having frequent bad dreams, or trouble sleeping; experiencing a loss of appetite; or appearing anxious and suffering from low self-esteem. On the flip side, the bullies probably aren’t ready to admit that they bully others especially if they fear repercussions. There are signs to look for if you suspect a child or teenager you know might be a bully. These signs or characteristics include being aggressive or easily frustrated, having less parental involvement, having issues at home, thinking badly of others, having difficulty following rules, viewing violence in a positive way, or having friends who bully others.

“Walk with Rich” raises money for Special Needs Athletics and Reinbow Riding Academy

BY JENNIFER WILLIS jwillis@ statesgraphic.com Molly Nichols, a third-grade H a y w o o d

Elementary student, loves her little brother, Rich. Not only does she love him, she supports him, and that is very apparent after the recent event

she and her friends organized for him. Molly and her friends came up with the idea to have a “Walk with Rich” day and help raise money for

causes that are dear to Rich and his family. Friends and family gathered at Webb Banks Passive Park…and walked for Rich. After all of the

fun and walking was over, Molly and her friends had raised $106 for Special Needs Athletics and Reinbow Riding Academy. Prizes

were given out to the winners, and Rich was awarded the overall prize. Martha Carpenter and Luke Ritchie tied for first place in the running category.

Brownsville Hospital Wing base home to new helicopter

Brownsville States Graphic/Jennifer Willis

BY JENNIFER WILLIS jwillis@ statesgraphic.com Hospital Wing’s Brownsville Base recently became

the home for a new American E u r o c o p t e r EC130, commonly referred to as simply an EC130. A c c o r d i n g to Pilot Marty

Hastings, the main difference between this helicopter and the others used by Hospital Wing is the EC130 has a much wider cabin. That extra cabin space

allows for better access to the patients. Also, the EC130 has a fenestron, which looks like an enclosed fan, rather than a traditional tail rotor. The

Brownsville Base is the only one in West Tennessee that houses an EC130 for emergency medical services use. Some specs for the EC130 include a

fast cruise speed of 130kts and a range of 329 NM. It boasts 847 horsepower, weighs 5,351 pounds, has an overall length of 41.47 feet, and is just over eleven feet tall.

This space is dedicated to those who lost their lives in the tragic helicopter accident on Tuesday, October 22, 2013. You will never be forgotten.

TIWF wrestles for WRAP

Brownsville States Graphic/Jennifer Willis

BY JENNIFER WILLIS jwillis@ statesgraphic.com The Carver High School Gymnasium was the arena for Friday night’s TIWF “Wrestlin’

for WRAP” event. Local wrestlers came together for an action packed night of wrestling, food, and fun. The wrestlers were very entertaining, and all of them, even with the “smack

talk,” seemed to enjoy themselves, all the while helping a really good cause. All of the proceeds from the event will help WRAP in their mission to build a domestic violence shelter in

Haywood County. Donelda Arview, field associate for WRAP in Haywood County, would like to say a very special thank you to TIWF “for hosting a very positive and entertaining

wrestling event.” She would also like to thank The Brownsville States Graphic, B r o w n s v i l l e Radio, E.W. James, Walmart, Save-ALot, volunteers, law enforcement officers,

and the people of Brownsville and Haywood County for their sponsorship and support. More than $1,000 was raised Friday night to help WRAP in their fight to end domestic violence.

Major turnaround Tomcats have orchestrated reversal of fortunes in 2013 By JEFF IRELAND jireland@statesgraphic. com The lowest point of the 2013 Haywood football season ended up being a watershed moment for the program. Haywood traveled to Covington on Sept. 20 and lost to the Chargers 36-0. It was the third straight loss for the Tomcats and dropped their record to 2-3. The Tomcats lost those three games by a combined score of 9615. Two days later, during a film study session, first-year head coach Ernie Jackson delivered a directive to his team. “After that Covington loss, we looked in the mirror and said, ‘Hey, let’s reel it off. Five straight. Let’s go,” Jackson said last Thursday during a practice. Since then, the Tomcats have won four straight, defeating Fayette-Ware, Ripley, Douglass and JacksonCentral Merry. The Tomcats are 6-3 (2-2 in District 15-AA) and have all but clinched a playoff spot for the first time since 2008. According to the latest TSSAA standings, the Tomcats are seeded sixth out of eight teams in quadrant four of

the 32-team Class 4A bracket. They will host Jackson North Side, who is 7-2 and seeded fourth, in the regular season finale Friday night with third place in the district up for grabs. It’s been quite a turnaround for the program. Haywood went 3-7 last year and 1-9 in 2011. This year the team has beaten three teams (Dyersburg, Ripley and JCM) that it lost to last year. “This is our first time even getting a chance at the playoffs since 2008,” said senior Montravius Currie. “It’s one of the best feelings I have ever felt. Going around, everybody in town happy for us, everybody rooting for us. It just feels great.” “It seems like the town loves us now that we’re winning,” said senior Shavius Hines. “We have a better work ethic now.” “It feels great,” said senior Equavious Barbee. “It has to do with the coaches. We have great coaches.” Jackson had been an assistant for Haywood High since 2009 before being named the head coach over the summer. Also during that span he coached a very successful Haywood

Haywood was off last week and spent the time preparing for the regular season finale tomorrow night at home against Jackson North Side.

Middle program. He’s notice the turnaround in the community support of Haywood football. “People are pretty excited,” Jackson said. “They’re proud that we’re back. Six wins. We haven’t had that since 08. Overall, I’m just proud of what the guys have accomplished.” Pinpointing one reason for the program’s resurgence is difficult. Several players gained valuable experience the last two years as underclassmen who are now juniors and seniors. A pair of sophomores – Emmit Gooden and Wil Austin – have played

big roles as well. Gooden is a 6-4, 240-pound defensive end who is already being recruited by a number of Division I schools. Jackson moved him from defensive tackle this year and the results have been overwhelmingly positive. Austin moved into the starting quarterback job after Jackson moved junior Bryce Young from quarterback to running back. Both Young and Austin have been putting up big numbers. “Putting guys in the right position has helped,” Jackson said. “We had to move some guys around … We try

I’m thankful for him mentoring me.” Jackson also believes in encouraging his players and showing them that he has their back. “Once they know you love them, they play ball for you,” Jackson said. “That’s the number one thing. Letting them know you care.” The Tomcats will almost certainly play at least two more games this season. Whatever happens, it’s clear the players and coaches have bonded. “He’s (Jackson) one the best coaches I’ve had,” Currie said. “He’s always supported us. If something goes wrong, he puts it on him, never on us. He’s all about the team.”

and make it as easy as possible so they can go out there and be athletes. They’ve done that.” Jackson said he’s leaned on the experience of others as well in his first year. He credits Andre Green for improving the defense this season. Tim Seymour, Haywood High’s athletic director and former head coach, has been helpful too, Jackson said. “He’s a wealth of knowledge,” Jackson said. “He’s been such a help. Calming me down in situations when I need it and encouraging me when I need to be.

North Side comes calling tomorrow in regular season finale By JEFF IRELAND jireland@statesgraphic. com Haywood will certainly have its hands full tomorrow night when Jackson North Side comes to town in the regular season finale for both teams. The Indians are 7-2 (2-2 District 15-AA) and tied with Haywood (6-3, 2-2) for third place in the

district standings. North Side is one year removed from an appearance in the Class 5A state semifinals. The school was moved down to Class 4A during the offseason. The Indians’ two losses have come in close games against Covington and Liberty, the top two teams in the district. Both teams have all but clinched playoff berths,

Freshman, junior varsity and varsity teams for Haywood’s boys and girls, as well as the cheerleaders and mascot, will be on hand for the event.

but a win will improve seeding and possibly earn a home game in the first round of the playoffs. Haywood is the relatively new kid on the block, looking to make the playoffs for the first time in five years. “We’re playing North Side for third place in the district,” first-year Haywood coach Ernie Jackson said. “Not many people

picked us to do that. There were skeptics out there. A rookie head coach who had only coached middle school, supposedly, according to some folks. Here we are, going for third place in the district. If we do that, we’ll be 7-3. That’s a fourgame turnaround from last year.” Haywood will have the advantage of rest. The Tomcats were

off last Friday and the students and teachers were on fall break last week. The team practiced from 9 a.m. to noon during the break and have had two weeks to get ready for the district showdown. “It’s helpful,” said Jackson, “just to get some rest and get fully healthy. We were one of the few teams off that week.” North Side won a close

game over South Gibson, 28-24, last Friday. Jackson knows North Side will be looking to finish the season strong. “They’re going to be hungry,” Jackson said. “It’s a nice little matchup right before the playoffs.” Senior Equavious Barbee is ready for the challenge as well. Said Barbee, “We’re going out there to get a win.”

Allen News

last week - thanks so much to the Tribute Quartet – this continues my observations about these talented and dedicated young guysAnthony Davis (bass - from Halls, TN – a “home boy”!), Josh Singletary (tenor from Raiford, FL – great green socks!), Riley Harrison Clark (tenor - from Fairland, OK - and only 22 years old!), and Jeff Holloway from Olive Branch, MS (million dollar smile!) who was filling in for the lead singer, Gary Castro, who had to drop out of a few singings due to illness. What a blessing these boys brought to us! And another added blessing that happened at their singing - they asked Marcy Beckett from Milan to come out of the audience and play the keyboard and sing a song. Well, Miss Marcy - 85 years young brought the house down playing and singing “God Walks The Dark Hills” as good as I’ve ever heard it sung by anyone (including Vestal)! What a true anointing the Lord has put on this sweet

Hillville - Eurekaton News By Vicki Williams

By Sandi Bishop Sunday morning was a little different service for Allen. We saw a video about “Operation Christmas Child” – an organization started by Franklin Graham that provides “shoe boxes” with toys and gifts to children around the world – now at 100 million and counting! The smiles on the children’s faces and knowing the difference made in their lives with that one small gift was so humbling. Steve Bell gave his testimony for our “Prove The Tithe Day” and did a great job. Thanks Steve for sharing with us about your and Janet’s faith and your obedience in your walk with the Lord. The Russell Trio – of which I’m the newest member – was honored to bring the special music for the worship service – we shared three of our favorite songs “I Need Thee Every Hour”, “When He Was On The Cross” and “The Eastern Gate”. Please pray for our group as we move into this new season of service for the Lord. And now back to

lady. Thanks so much Miss Marcy for blessing our hearts! As always, there are so many folks and families that we need to take to the Lord in prayer. Please remember those specifically who are in your prayer hearts and lift them up. And please pray for the families of Ginger Warren, Joyce Hale and Miss Mamie Smith who took their Heavenly flights this week – we know that they are at peace and made whole again, but we still struggle with the temporary separation before we’re reunited with them at the feet of Jesus. Happy birthday this week to Adam Buckingham and Emily Cobb – and to our friend, Brenda Fox Morris. Many more! And to those of us who have ever experienced the loss of a loved one: “The final heartbeat for the Christian is not the mysterious conclusion of a meaningless existence – it’s the grand beginning of a life with Jesus that will never end”. Love, joy and blessings to you all.

“Adapting to change can be a faithful response.” This is our Thought for the Week as published by F. Richard Garland of Rhode Island in the Upper Room Devotional. In today’s ever changing society, in many areas of life we have to adapt and sometimes it is to unwelcome realities. We live in a world where things don’t always go our way. If we trust in God’s enduring love and have Him as a faithful companion, teacher and guide we will have what we need to face any change. Harmony Baptist will have their annual Trunk or Treat on Thursday, October 31st from 6-7:30 p.m. If inclement weather, it will be moved inside the fellowship hall. Bro. Grover Westover was honored on Sunday, October 27th for Pastor Appreciation. Harmony has been very blessed to have Bro. Grover as their pastor.

By Marty Williams Love fur babies, like I do? Adopt one and get it spayed or neutered! Call 7722908 Susan and David Garland are happy parents! Their son, Craig Murphy, is in Pensacola, Fl. for some additional training. He came up for a visit over the weekend and he will return to his base at Travis, AFB on Friday! Jody, Jeanna, JT and Miller Lea just spent an absolutely awesome week aboard the Carnival Elation Cruise Ship! The cruise departed from New Orleans then they visited Progresso and Cozumel, Mexico! They had an amazing time! They will definitely be planning another cruise. JT and Miller declared ‘this as the best vacation ever!’ Wow! Lucky dawgs! David and Kathy Cook got a kick out of celebrating their youngest granddaughter, Grace Tinsley Freeman’s, first birthday, in Nashville. Big sister Katie, was there with parents, Rachel and Bob and lots of other family and friends. The party was held at Grace’s other grandparents, Babs and Bill Freeman’s farm. Under the farm pavilion everyone got a humongous ‘tickle’ decorating pumpkins and cookies while eating goodies and birthday cake. After a horse drawn carriage hayride, everyone gathered around a bonfire. Ahhhh….

how fun! Roland and Ann Reid, along with g r a n d d a u g h t e r, Stephanie Angotti and husband, Jimmy of Lakeland, were in Knoxville for the big game between UT and South Carolina! We have too many sad notes this week: We need to offer our sympathy to the families of Jerry Morris, Clopton Anderson Miller, and Ginger Warren, (whose husband Leslie, left us a couple of weeks ago). Please keep their families in your prayers and remember…It is well with their souls. The town is gearing up for the 6th annual Holiday in Haywood, November 15 & 16. Hours will be Friday 12-7 p.m. & Saturday 9 a.m.-6p.m. at 100 S. Dupree *(Criminal Justice Complex). This 2-day shopping event is sponsored by the BBA (Brownsville Business Association) and is a huge success every year. There is a little bit of everything, including entertainment, food, Christmas gifts and handmade jewelry. You can do tons of Christmas shopping, all in one room! Bobbie & Bob Nolan and niece Mandy Lopez, bopped up to Ohio for a visit with all the children, grandchildren and her mama (my aunt Rene). They had a terrific time while they were there, but I think they were kind of wiped out when they hit Brownsville!

She also popped in for a visit with my little mama, while she was up there. Everyone is doing ‘fine’, is the word I got! Has anyone else been looking for Paulette and Albert Campbell? We finally got the scoop that they have been hiding out, spending time in Pensacola, Florida! They just disappeared and had themselves a good time! Sometimes you just have to do that or bang your head against a brick wall! Good for you Paulette and Albert! Hayden Hooper and Andrew & Alicia Russell spent time in Florida over the fall break, with their children. After the break, everyone should be prepared for Trick or Treat Around the Square, this Thursday, from 4-6. All the businesses who are participating will have a pumpkin in their window or door so the children will know whose store is ‘pumpkin friendly’! The Chamber will definitely be open for the tiny critters to come and show us their costumes! The Business after Hours at Uncorked was quite a hit! The store is such a classy, tasteful and gorgeous store. The wine used for the ‘wine tasting’ was called “Wine for Dummies”. It was a teeny weeny course on the sampling of different wines. Let me hear from you! Aroundtownmarty@ aol.com or 780-4111.

Holly Grove News By Martha H. Jones Dr. Tommy Russell, the President of the Brownsville Gideon’s Camp, spoke at Holly Grove Church last Sunday on their work around the world. Fellow Gideon Dewey Jones introduced him. They dispense Bibles all over the world, translated in 94 languages and in 194 countries. The scope of their ministry depends on the churches. The Bible is not the book of the month; it is the Book of eternity. It’s miraculous how God speaks through His word, and it never returns void and accomplishes that which He pleases. Danny and Brenda Simpson sand a beautiful old hymn for special music. Happy birthday to Makayla Baker, Stephanie Climer, Dewey Jones, Dianne Warren, Julie Hopkins, Ryan Sidhom, and Calvyn Beshires. We express our heartfelt sympathy to the family of Mrs. Ginger Norwood Warren. Ginger grew up at Holly Grove, and we also express sympathy to Susan Foster and her family in the death of Mr. Jerry Foster. Jerry and Susan and Dewey and I have something in common, we adopted a precious little baby girl into our families. The Trunk and Treat

was a success at Holly Grove Church last Saturday night with approximately 250 attending. Some of the activities were held just outside the Family Life Center, and some were held inside. Thanks to Brother Ralph Brown, Mike and Jackie Coburn, and all the others who made it a success. Sixteen trunks had treats to give. Makayla Hopper won the hula-hoop contest, and many won in the cupcake walk. It was a fun time for everyone, and the weather was great. Please continue to remember the sick in prayer. The list includes Roy Lewis, Mary Ann Ballard, Lynn Coburn, Betty Barden, Debbie Eubanks, and Jimmy Grammar. Others are Fletcher Lewis, Mark Stephens, Melanie Jones, Sandra Peace, Kathy Clenney, Jessica Byrd, Ronny Vanstory, Roxanne Cox, Danny Haynes, and Sandra Posey. The tiny hummingbirds are making their way south to find warmer weather. I had about decided they were all gone until I began to see one occasionally on the feeders. Those who travel from Alaska have to travel 2,500 miles. That’s almost

unbelievable. They stop off places where they can get refreshed before continuing their trip. The volleyball season came to an end last Thursday night. Holly Grove played Harmony at Woodland. That is a fun time for the youth and young adults. An Appreciation Reception was given for Dr. Charles Pratt and his wife, Linda, last Sunday afternoon at the Baptist Associational building. Brother Charles has served Haywood Baptist churches for well over 17 years. He has carried a mission team each year to the Philippines. On their trip this year they witnessed over 14,000 making first time professions of faith. He also worked with the Disaster Relief Ministry in Brownsville and Haywood County when the stormy weather hit our area. They have also aided other Tennessee areas. Ed Ellington, the director, have a report at the associational meeting. Terry Brown from Holly Grove also works with this group. Ann Faulkner and Nancy Campbell and her three grandsons traveled to Strawberry, Arkansas last week and attended the funeral of young Dillion Brawley.

Westside News By Mary W. Lewis Betsy Cox of Kennesaw, Georgia, came home with her sister-in-law and her husband, Donna Cox Herron and Leon Herron last week at their Anderson Street home, and they all visited several of their cousins in Paducah, Kentucky Monday. Their cousin, Judy Perry of Covington, along with several relatives and friends came here and attended Westside Church of Christ Bible Study on Wednesday evening. I’d like to correct a mistake concerning Shirley Splann Carter’s birthday. It was Tuesday, October 29. My friend Jennie Evans corrected me on this. Sunday, October 27, Westside Church of Christ presented a pounding from 2 pm until 4 pm for Larry and Angelina Sutherland, along with their two-year-old son L.J., in their home on Christmas Road. Wednesday night after Bible Study and

classes, a Trunk or Treat will be held in the Westside parking lot. Jackie Lyell and his family have moved back to their home in Georgia. He was a Brownsville resident in his earlier years, but in recent years had returned with his family. You may remember he was Earl Compton’s stepson. The Tennessee Children’s Food Truck will arrive November 7 at Westside to pick up food supplies and donations. A good picture of Mrs. Emelene Russell, who lived on Poplar Corner Road and was always energetic and active, was published in last week’s States Graphic. She was the mother to Salle and Emelene Russell. I haven’t heard of her in years, but she lived to be almost 100 years old. It wasn’t clear to me where she’d recently made home. Those who attended the regular singing at visitation with the

residents at Crestview on October 21 were: Mac Perry, Bill and Bobbie Connally, Bro. Larry and Martha Sweeney, and Paul and Mary Lewis. Westside members and residents of Crestview were Minnie Bell King and Mae Mathis. We always appreciate all of the residents who are able to participate. We are so sorry to learn of the death of Mrs. Mammie Smith, who had been the roommate of Minnie Bell King for quite some time. She always attended our singings. We will certainly miss her. She passed away at Jackson Madison County General Hospital Saturday after a short illness. Miss Mammie was the mother of Peggy Milton Myers, Freddy Smith, and had many other children whom I am not acquainted with. Ron and Stephanie Teems spent a few days of relaxation this week in Pensacola, Florida.

winner. If you haven’t liked us on Facebook then you are missing out on some fun. I love to post pictures of our residents and see the comments their families post. It is a perfect way to keep up with what we are doing here. For all the families that live away and don’t get here often, it is a way to see their loved one. Facebook can be used a tool or a weapon. It is up to you how you use it. Thank you to Dowling Family Medical (Sandy) and Brownsville Family Medicine (Misty) for coming to see our residents (your patients) and give them their flu vaccines. It is always such a huge relief for our nursing staff

when our wonderful doctor’s office will come and do such sweet things as this. Both of these places have great doctors and wonderful staff to take care of your medical needs. Our administrator and director of nursing were both on vacation last week. One went to the mountains and the other went to the beach. Both made it back safely and each had a wonderful time. Marie Carlton also was in the mountains and Dale McWilliams went to the beach. They also had a wonderful time with their families. Over the last few weeks our residents have visited Someroak, our sister facility in Somerville to see an

Elvis impersonator. They have eaten at Red Lobster, Dairy Queen and Taco Bell. Some went to the Homecoming parade and others have been to the park to enjoy an afternoon. We had a few head to Herbie Town by Trenton to take some pictures for our calendar. Can you tell our residents love to go and do things? We enjoy making them happy. Why would anyone not love being at Sugar Creek? We are the perfect home away from home. Just ask our residents and they will tell you there is never a dull moment. Mark 12:31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”

Wellwood/Zion News By Denise Phillips Our hearts are saddened this week with the passing of Jerry Foster. Please, continue to pray for the family in days ahead as they adjust to his going home where he awaits their presence one day! Brother Bobby Russ delivered a fantastic sermon Sunday morning at Zion Baptist Church entitled, “And God Remembered.” God remembers us in our despair (Noah-Genesis 8), God remembers our intercession (Abraham / Lot-Genesis 19:29), God remembers His promises to us (Covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob-Exodus 2:24), God remembers the sin of unbelievers (Revelation 18:4-5; 20:11-15), but God does not remember our sins once we are saved (Hebrews 10:17) Don’t forget, October is Pastor Appreciation Month! If you haven’t told your pastor how much you appreciate him, it’s not too late! Several from Zion attended the reception for Dr. Charles and Linda Pratt Sunday afternoon. The Pratts were guests of Zion and will be missed tremendously in the Haywood Baptist Association. However, they promised to keep in touch as they continue their work in the Fayette Association.

Zion Baptist Church held their American Heritage Festival Sunday afternoon. Lots of fun was had by all with a cookout and various activities for the kids. “His Voice” entertained with singing on the front porch at the lake. Thirty-two youth and twelve adults enjoyed a hayride and hotdog roast at the home of Stewart and Sherry Tritt Wednesday night. Thanks to Libba Ellington for the report since Lee Morris was not able to attend. Thanks to all of the adults that work with our youth! Lee was with her daughter Morgan Reeves, a senior at CCHS and her volleyball team at state tournament. Morgan was featured in the Jackson Sun for her efforts which ended her senior year with a “Bang!” Congratulations from all of Zion. Eleven men attended the prayer breakfast Thursday morning with Harmony’s Pastor Grover Westover leading the devotion. This group meets each Thursday at 6:00 at ZBC and all men are invited to join these prayer warriors! Thanks to Brother Butch for the weekly report. Happy birthday wishes to Bret Baggett! Congratulations to Marcus and Jessica Witherspoon on their

recent news. They are expecting their third. Also, congratulations to Morris Tritt and Mary Drake Owen on their engagement. Best wishes to Patrick Littlejohn and Emily Herron who were married on the 26th. Wow, these kids are making me old! A special thanks to Norma Austin for taking care of Jimmy’s dog while we were in Florida for fall break. Thanks to everyone who watched over our home so we could truly enjoy our much needed trip. Upon our return, Saturday we worked in the yard and attended two birthday parties. Reality has set in! Don’t forget! Zion’s Annual stew will be sold November 2. Zion Seniors will have lunch November 5 at 11:00 at the Old Country Store. See Elsie Haynes for details. Boxes for Operation Christmas Child are due November 17 at Zion. Continue praying for sick folks and their families, military personnel and families, shut-ins, those mourning loss, and the leaders of our country.

Winter Wellness Tips Cooler temperatures often bring along the season’s sniffles and colds. With a few winter wellness tips, you can prepare for a happier and healthier season, regardless of your budget, with the following tips from the lifestyle experts at Dollar General. Preventive care. A nutritious diet and plenty of rest can help you stay strong this winter so consider keeping juices, vegetables and fruits in your fridge all winter long. You can improve your nutritional balance and overall wellness with vitamins and supplements. Trusted Rexallbranded products, available exclusively at Dollar General, offer vitamins and minerals including immunityboosting Vitamin C and multivitamins to combat potential illnesses. You can also purchase these items in bulk online to save money

and trips to the store. Stock your medicine cabinet. When illness strikes, the last thing you’ll want to do is rush to the store. A well-stocked medicine cabinet can save a trip when you’re feeling your worst. Keep overthe-counter cold and flu relief medications on-hand for both day and night, as well as cough suppressant and a general pain reliever. Parents should ensure they have medications suitable for children, too. Healthy skin. Skin is prone to dryness in winter, so apply moisturizer as soon as you get out of the shower. If possible, ditch the scalding hot showers for warm water, as heat can be very drying. Don’t forget that the sun’s rays can be just as potent in winter as in summer, so don’t neglect the sunscreen and lip balm just because of the cool temperatures. Germ-free. While germs exist year-round,

your body may be more susceptible to cold and flu viruses in winter. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly and use a hand sanitizer. Soup’s on. Start all your winter meals with a warm bowl of soup full of protein, vegetables and liquids. If you don’t have the time to make soup from scratch, healthful and delicious ready-made soup can be a great alternative. Stay active: Don’t let your exercise routine fall by the wayside in winter. Exercise can improve your immunity and also help keep winter pounds at bay. If you don’t have a gym membership, gear up with exercise apparel designed for cooler temperatures and pound the pavement or pop in an exercise video at home. More tips and coupons for winter wellness tools can be found at www. DollarGeneral.com. With some preparation, staying healthy in winter can be easy and affordable.

Questions to Ask Your Doctor about Diabetes and Pain

The numbers are staggering -- 25.8 million people, representing 8.3 percent of the U.S. population, have diabetes, according to the most recent data available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That’s one in every 12 people, and the numbers

may have soared even higher since these statistics were gathered. For those living with the disease, preventing and treating complications associated with diabetes is critical. One serious complication is diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), which affects 60

to 70 percent of people with diabetes. Since those with DPN don’t generally experience symptoms at first, it often goes undiagnosed until the condition worsens. “If left untreated, diabetic neuropathies can cause disabling chronic pain, increase the risk of falling in the

elderly and trigger foot ulcers that may even require amputation,” warns Shai Gozani, CEO of NeuroMetrix, a medical device company that develops home use and point-of-care devices for the treatment and management of diabetic neuropathies. The American Diabetes Association recommends getting an annual screening to detect DPN before it leads to Painful Diabetic Neuropathy (PDN). Ask your doctor about a new fast and accurate test, DPNCheck, which may aid in the early detection and confirmation of DPN. “With proper, early clinical intervention, more positive outcomes are possible,” says Gozani. U n f o r t u n a t e l y, despite best efforts, many people with diabetes will develop PDN and require additional therapy. “Staying on top of symptoms and their

causes is important for early diagnosis and prompt treatment of PDN,” says Gozani. Gozani advises those living with diabetes who are wondering if they have PDN to ask themselves if they have any of these symptoms: Burning, stabbing or shooting pain in your feet or legs. Pain when you walk, as though you are walking barefoot on marbles or hot sand. A persistent achy feeling in your feet. Pain in your feet or legs that makes falling asleep and waking up difficult. Pain in your feet or legs that makes you depressed or anxious. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, make an appointment with your health care provider to get a proper diagnosis. Your doctor may prescribe medications that can help control the pain. Be sure to ask your health care provider about emerging chronic

pain relief options, which provide nonnarcotic, non-addictive complements to pain medications. These include the SENSUS Pain Management System, an electrical nerve stimulator that is lightweight, wearable under clothing and the first of its kind to be cleared by the Food and Drug Administration to be used during sleep. Since many patients with PDN report trouble falling and staying asleep, a fast acting treatment that can be worn during sleep is a much needed solution. More information about early detection of DPN and safely treating PDN can be found at www.NeuroMetrix.com. Don’t ignore the potential complications of diabetes and don’t wait until you’re experiencing symptoms. Early detection and subsequent treatment can help you manage conditions that can be debilitating and painful.

Medical Innovations Could Make Diabetes Management Easier Most people don’t think about their sugar intake, insulin and blood glucose levels, but for those with diabetes, these are aspects of everyday life. There are more than 24 million people in the United States living with the disease, according to the American Diabetes Association, and this number is on the rise. For these individuals, managing the disease can be a stressful, time-consuming and even painful process. As diabetes can result in serious health complications including eye, kidney and nerve disease, and can lead to premature death, optimal treatment is crucial. But for this to take place, frequent measuring of blood glucose levels is required. While conventional blood glucose monitoring involves drawing a blood sample from one’s finger, hand, thigh or forearm with a needle,

medical innovations on the horizon are promising to make diabetes management easier on patients. “Blood glucose monitoring, the crucial tool for controlling diabetes, is soon going to be more cost-effective and less painful,” says Avner Gal, CEO of Integrity Applications, a medical device company working on solutions for diabetes patients. While at this time there are virtually no viable devices for the non-invasive measurement of glucose levels on the market, this soon will change. For example, GlucoTrack, by Integrity Applications, is a patented product in development that uses ultrasonic, electromagnetic and thermal technologies to non-invasively measure glucose levels in the blood. The device is battery-operated and includes a main unit, which contains display and control features,

as well as transmitter, receiver and processor, and a personal ear clip, which contains sensors and calibration electronics, and is clipped to the earlobe. If you have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, here are some things to consider about the new technology that soon may help to make life less painful and more cost efficient: Convenience: About the size and weight of a smartphone, these new monitoring devices are small, light and easy to carry. Results are given both visually and verbally. Cost: Compared to a finger prick device, over the long-term, GlucoTrack will have a reduced life cycle cost, saving patients money. Data: Blood glucose readings over time give healthcare providers useful data that helps determine proper treatment for patients. The new devices store up to 1000 past readings, and have a USB port for downloading data

for off-line analysis, simplifying the logging process for patients. More information

can be found at www. Integrity-App.com. Take steps to make your diabetes more

manageable. Talk to your doctor about innovations in blood glucose monitoring.

Time Saving Tips to Prep Your Home for the Holidays During the holiday season, you’ll likely be spending more time indoors. While getting your home ready for the fun is important, making the process smooth and easy can help you focus on family, friends and the spirit of the season. Here are some holiday prep tips that will save you time and energy: Organized House When you’re expecting company, you’ll want the house to be clean and in tip top order. De-clutter closets by giving away unneeded items -- it’s the perfect time of year to be charitable. While all the items are out, vacuum the floor and clean the baseboards. Clean appliances, counters, cabinets, tables and chairs. Scrub and sanitize sinks, countertops and backsplashes.

Peace of Mind Be sure your heating system and appliances are in proper working order all winter long -- the last thing you’ll want is a broken heater or refrigerator when you have guests.

For example, American Home Shield provides service contracts on such system components and appliances as plumbing, water heaters, refrigerators and dishwashers.

impression, especially around the holidays when attention is called to your home’s exterior. Boost curb appeal by taking great care of your yard year-round. For example, corrective pruning can prevent dead or overgrown plants from detracting from your home’s cheery personality. It can also enhance a plant’s growth

for the coming spring. Core aeration will help your lawn breathe and strengthen roots. To save time at this busy time of year, opt for a professional lawn care specialist, such as TruGreen, that can tailor a plan for your lawn using sciencebased solutions. More information can be found

www.TruGreen.com. Pest Control It may be cooler outside, but pest control should be a year-round concern. Use weather stripping and caulk to seal exterior doors, cracks, and openings around pipes and utility lines. You’ll not only improve your home’s energy efficiency but you’ll prevent pests

from entering your home. Information on pest control can be found at www.Terminix.com. More tips and information about different home services, such as carpet cleaning can be found at www. S e r v i c e M a s t e r. c o m . To truly get into the holiday spirit, take steps to prep your home.

Create Warm Snuggly Days this Winter

Your house serves as a safe haven from whipping winds during the long chill of winter. When the days are short and the

nights are long, making your rooms warmer and more inviting can brighten the mood of the whole house. Combat winter blues

by creating comfy days this winter with these tips from the experts at Sun Products, the makers of Snuggle fabric softener:

Breakfast in Bed: It may feel decadent, but breakfast in bed is the perfect way to stay cozy as you get the day started.

Movie Night: Set aside a night each week to snuggle up on the couch for movie night. Be sure your family room or living room is decked out with plenty of pillows and just-washed throw blankets. Put some popcorn on the stove for a piping hot treat. Build a Fort: Looking for a fun family activity? Build a fort using snuggly soft sheets. Play a board game or work on a puzzle in your cozy fort. Fireplace: Get the fireplace going and have a “campfire” in your living room, complete with marshmallows and sing-alongs. Make sure the kids have their favorite teddy bears to cuddle up with for when you tell scary stories! Soften up: Create comfier rooms all around the house by giving your fabrics a touch of softness. Treat sheets, linens, blankets

and other laundry with a fabric softener. Extend the cozy feeling of a hot shower by wrapping up in soft, fluffy fresh-scented towels and robes. To put a good mood in the air, look for a fabric softener with a long-lasting scent and freshness. For example, Snuggle Exhilarations comes in five fragrance combinations, such as white lavender and sandalwood and wild orchid and vanilla, that last from wash to wash. Make soup: Nothing is more hearty and fulfilling then a big bowl of soup in winter. Make a big batch of healthy soup at the start of the week and serve it as a side all week long. More tips on creating cuddly days in winter can be found at www.facebook. com/snuggle. With a bit of care, you can stay warm and cozy all winter long at home.

The Best Bang for Your Buck Kitchen Remodeling Tips Kitchen remodeling can significantly increase home value. However this can get extremely expensive. But simple kitchen fix-ups can add both value and comfort to your space. With this in mind, consider sprucing up your kitchen without breaking the bank. Don’t know where to start? Try these tips from HomeAdvisor, a leading website offering resources for home repair and improvement projects: Fix the countertops: Changing the material of kitchen countertops is a simple way to make an impact in the room. Materials such as ceramic, laminate, granite and siltstone are all great options. Laminate is the most cost effective and granite is the most popular. Refinish the cabinets: Even though cabinet

replacement can be pricey, giving your existing cabinets a new look can come at an affordable price tag. Remove the original finish and add a new stain coat. Or paint the cabinets a bold color. Combine the paint with a crackling glaze to give the cabinets a weathered appearance. Redo lighting: Altering the lighting in your kitchen can give it a different look and feel. Track lighting is a good aesthetic choice with many different options. Add a few task lamps to improve the functionality of the work space area. Dimmers are easy to install and can make the atmosphere of the room more versatile. Upgrade appliances: Buying even just one or two new appliances can significantly increase the kitchen’s value. Large appliances, such as the refrigerator, oven

and stove, should be upgraded first. Restyle the floor: Laying a new floor doesn’t have to be a costly project. Materials

such as peel-andstick vinyl tiles are inexpensive and can be easy to install. Other excellent options include linoleum, porcelain, cork

and stained concrete. More great ideas for your kitchen and beyond can be found at www. H o m e A d v i s o r. c o m . You don’t need to

start from scratch to give your kitchen a makeover. With small improvements, you can get a great return on your investment.
