It’s a Crime to Be Unhealthy!
By Susan Holloway, M.S. Home Economics Child Development-Family Relations Retired Teacher of JMCSS and Madison County Extension
If I may, I wish to remind you of my introduction in my January 2023 article.
“We all know this year might bring many challenges that affect our personal health or our financial health. I am confirmed to choose an unusual new year’s resolution this year. I resolve to stop being WASTEFUL in every part of my life. Abundance and then just habit can cause us to be wasteful and we do not even realize it. The less resources wasted the more money, the less resources wasted the more time, the less resources wasted the more prepared I can be for potential times of need, the less resources wasted the more I am proud of the resources I DO have. I plan to touch on several areas where I notice we are wasteful, these being (1) food (2) time (3) paper products and (4) fuels. I will address each of the four areas in my monthly articles January through April 2023.”
My February article is #2 TIME.
Classes in time management are taught in many areas of study such as business management and home management. Since I have had certifications to teach both areas, I live my life conscious of the way I manage my time. I capture the mail and do not just lay it down for later sorting, but open and either toss waste in the trash, or present all invoices together with envelopes and many times pay by phone or check with preparation to mail right then. I have a designated place for out going mail and do NOT handle the same letters multiple times to waste my efforts. This is taught with the handling of most business forms. Have designated files/locations for each piece of mail so people will handle it only one time if possible.
All classes in Time Management define it as organizing and planning how to divide time between various activities. Each person has 24 hours to manage. If I complain about not having enough time in the day, I may not be a good manager. I always need to work smarter and not harder. One of my favorite authors is Stephen Covey who developed and teaches “Covey’s Time Management Matrix”. He says 40% of our time is wasted according to research. That is at work, at home and in everything we do. The following are steps to become a good manager of those hours we are given:
STEP #1: Spend one or two days writing down what you do each 15-minute interval all day. Eight hours of sleep, checked e-mail, talked on phone, drove auto, talked with my family, took shower, ate meal, etc. and total each type of activity. This will surprise you when you see the totals. No one can manage something they do not know what it is – what do you do each moment?
STEP #2: Prioritize those events of the day by following Covey’s Matrix in the diagram below.
STEP #3: Focus on the end results more than activities alone.
STEP #4: Choose locations to work where you will be focused and not disturbed. Have supplies you need for work at a comfortable distance and in a radius work area. This will bring good results in a much shorter time. I am famous for locating baskets in designated areas to contain items to take upstairs when I go or even to other rooms without walking extra laps to use my precious time.
Waste Not, Want Not during 2023. Remember it does not happen with one attempt but make smart management of time a habit!

Celebrating Centuries of Contributions
By Dr. Jerry Woods
Jackson Madison County Bicentennial Celebrations January 2022
The presence and significance of a African Americans are intricately woven into the fabric of Jackson Madison County’s past and present history. Earliest public records of Madison County document that in 1821 when the county was founded, African American slaves were present. During this period, Madison County, Tennessee was in its infancy; however, the area was poised for new growth, expansion and possibilities. To aid in the county’s new growth, many early African Americans shared their varied ancestral gifts that were bestowed upon them in the Motherland of Africa. These gifts would eventually become hallmarks of tradition, folkways and practices handed down to the present day.
From its early African American residents Madison County received that gift of skilled labor and industry. The “cash crop” of cotton was made king largely by their efforts in the fields. Whether by “chopping” cotton in early summer or picking it in the Fall, “King Cotton” was crowned. Complimenting this outside work were scores of African American domestics, who cleaned and cooked in stately homes, reared others children, yet still made time for their own families. Additionally, the skill and craftsmanship of African American builders is prominently displayed in structures still standing today. One structure of note is the Denmark Presbyterian Church located in Denmark, Tennessee. The Big Black Creek Historical Association shares that the structure, the oldest Presbyterian Church in West Tennessee, was built with slave labor that handed hewed the lumber and even fashioned the nails on site.
The gift of unquenchable thirst for knowledge is clearly evidenced by the African American saga of attaining an education under undesirable conditions. Prior to school integrations, numerous small and meager school buildings dotted the Madison county landscape. These schools issued its students passports to greater opportunities.
They were named Greer, Upper Ingram, Salem, Moore, South Jackson, Blairs Chapel, Mount Tabor, Spann-Rosenwald, Bemis-Rosenwald, among others. The Rosenwald schools were named for philanthropist Julius Rosenwald whose fund aided in their construction.
The Bemis-Rosenwald School stands today as the Walter Brewer-Bemis Community Center. The historic structure holds the distinction of being Tennessee’s oldest Rosenwald School.
For some, these opportunities may have manifested in the matriculation at Golden High School or Merry High School named for its founder, Austin Raymond Merry who was the first African American in Jackson Madison County to earn a college degree.
Lane College stands prominent as Madison County’s sole predominately African American institution of higher learning. The college, founded in 1882 embodies the dream of Bishop Isaac Lane, a former slave. After more than a century, Lane College stands today as an intellectual beacon beckoning all who thirst to its Christian, academic and cultural oasis.
The social gift of community has enriched Madison County from its early days until the present. The African American community or village provided opportunities nurturing and passing down tradition. These communities although designed by the codified systems of segregation flourished in spite of racial strife and social upheaval. Songs and music from the community told of both happy and sad experiences. Whether it was “Big Maybelle” belting out “Candy” or Sonny Boy Williamson
making his harmonica “talk”, their gift of song and music was prominent.
At times, the community provided young people with guidance, support and the stern hand of correction. A roll call of these Madison County communities included: Mound City, South Town, Marshall, Fites Bottom, Neely Station, Onion Fields, Tri-Community and Blairs Chapel, among others.
African Americans of Madison County also brought with them the gift of an unbreakable spirit. This spirit helped to shape the county’s history through their acts of courage and gallantry. A historical marker on the Madison County Courthouse lawn recognizes the heroic efforts of the 61st U.S. Colored Infantry. The group was comprised of former slaves who left plantations and joined the Union Army to fight in the Civil War. The next century ushered in the Civil Rights Era. The period brought forth local African Americans who joined forces to boldly challenge injustices and demand change. Their efforts at times were met with hostility, ostracism, loss of livelihood and danger. History records that their efforts eventually prevailed as a plaque in Jackson City Hall heralds the champions of change” namely Genevieve Brooks, James Buchanan and Rev. W.K. Seals. Lest we forget a long standing and vital part of Madison County’s African American community is its’ churches or houses of faith. As numerous as the small community schools aforementioned, these historic sites provided fervor and sustenance to the members’ spirits and souls. Madison County holds the district honor of being the birthplace of the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church (CME). Mother Liberty CME Church’s historical marker reveals that on December 15, 1870 in Jackson, the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church was organized by the General Conference South. The historical marker further reveals that in 1954 the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church became the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church. The CME Church joins a hosts of other denominations offering a multitude of worship experiences for all Madison County residents who avail themselves to participate.
The African American worship experience is vividly described in excerpts of Margaret Walker’s poem “We Have Been Believers”. Walker expounds “Our song has filled the twilight and our hope heralded dawn…..in our hunger we beheld the welcome table and in our nakedness the glory of the long white robe. We have been believers in the New Jerusalem.” Amen!
EPILOGUE
The motto of my alma mater Merry High School Class of 1957 states: “The Past is Forever Gone, But Future is still our own”. History is constantly being made and we are the players on the stage of life. It is our hope that in the next centuries we will share our losses and celebrate our victories together, for we will all be better because of it.

Scholarships to benefit students in workforce readiness programs
JACKSON, TENN. – Nine Jackson State Community College (JSCC) students have been selected as the inaugural cohort of the Leaders Education Foundation workforce readiness scholarship. Of the total $9,500 in scholarships, $8,500 were awarded to JSCC students who are enrolled in workforce readiness programs at the college.
The inaugural scholarship program awarded up to $1,000 per student who are enrolled in workforce readiness programs or pursuing industry certifications through community colleges or the Tennessee College of Applied Technology.
“I want to thank Leaders Education Foundation for providing such an excellent scholarship opportunity to directly benefit our students,” said Dr. George Pimentel, President of Jackson State Community College. “Much of the burden our students see stems from financials. This scholarship alleviates that burden, allowing our students to focus on their studies, excel in the classroom, and further their careers.
The creation of scholarship program comes at the heels of an industrial boom in West Tennessee that has led to a growing need for properly equipped students graduating from programs such as the ones seen at JSCC.
“One of the pillars of Leaders Education Foundation is to support workforce development in our community,” said Leigh Anne Bentley, Foundation President. “With employment needs across our region, we hope these scholarships will allow more students to enter the workforce well prepared.”
Over 100 students applied for the first scholarship cycle from West Tennessee community colleges and the Tennessee College of Applied Technology. The scholarship funds can be used for tuition, purchasing associated supplies, books or materials, testing fees or other costs associated with the program or certification.
“These scholarships help to bridge the gap between tuition and other costs associated with each program,” Bentley said. “No matter a student’s path to the workforce, we want to be a part of leading the way for them to get there.”
The following nine JSCC students were named as recipients of the scholarship:
John Taylor – Engineering Systems Technology
Grant Holland – Medical Laboratory Technician
Shelby Bickerstaff – Medical Laboratory Technician
Aletha Morris – Healthcare Technician
Caresa Holmes – Medical Laboratory Technician
Matthew Marek – Emergency Medical Technician
Sydney Douglas – Medical Laboratory Technician
Errika Stephens – Engineering Systems Technology
Erica Reynolds – Medical Laboratory Technician
Application periods for future workforce readiness scholarships will open annually on Dec. 1, May 1, and Aug. 1 for spring, fall and summer sessions at leadersgives.org.

THE MEN’S HUNT CLUB
They came down from Memphis, friends of my uncle and co-workers driving pickups, armed with pumps and double-barrels.
They had bird dogs or hounds depending on the season, with fifths of Wild Turkey wrapped in a bag as they wandered behind the house for a ritual of swigs before starting out.
We walked for hours watching those dogs solve networks of thorns. The best ones were not gun-shy and never made a sound until it was time.
There was a camaraderie in how they finished one whiskey before opening another, in how they traded mysteries of women they’d known and glanced back to see if I’d grin.
They way they mirrored poor creatures they hunted as blood leaked through the game bags, the fresh dangle of trophies, both man and animal trying to escape the dangers of their worlds by the only familiar means.

Artist and Author Valerie June performed for Jackson Christian School elementary students and read her book “Somebody to Love” after chapel last Tuesday. Thank you for sharing your joy and talent with us! JCSeagles.org
Somebody To Love Book
Once upon a time, a sweet and tiny little instrument was given to a singer named Valerie June. It had a roundface and four strings. It was so small that she thought it was a toy.
Grammy nominated musician Valerie June’s Somebody to Love: The Story of Valerie June’s Sweet Little Baby Banjolele is a hardcover children’s book inspired by how June wrote the song “Somebody to Love” from her album Pushin’ Against a Stone. In the book, a young aspiring musician, Valerie, is given a toy banjolele. A banjolele is a very unique four-stringed musical instrument. It has a body like a small banjo, and the neck is like a ukulele. At the beginning, the baby banjolele dreams that its voice will soar and be heard all throughout the world, but very soon its musical journey meets with challenges and doubts. The little banjolele just could not play through a whole song! Valerie and banjolele want to play with the other instruments at school, but the others make fun of the banjolele saying “ You’re just a toy”. Embarrassed the banjolele, once more, can not finish the song. But “I have a dream, and I want to sing,” the toy banjolele stubbornly refuses to give up. Finally, the toy finds the courage, and belief, and love it needs, coughs out a last bit of dust, and belts out a gorgeous a song. Valerie names the banjolele Baby and both go on to perform all over the world together forever.
About the motivation behind the book, Valerie June said: “As I traveled the world telling the story of my banjolele, I always knew it would make an uplifting children’s book. It wasn’t until I got a call from the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities that I was encouraged to sit down and write it out. One of the nation’s most historical dreamers is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. As a black female artist, his message taught me the power of dreams at an early age. He was a light for me. Each time I’ve shared this story with students, I watch as their eyes light up with wonder. It’s been thrilling to witness that same light awakening within them. Believing you can achieve your dream is a way to be an inspiration for your community, like a great Nigerian proverb teaches us, “Thoughts and dreams are the foundation of our being.”

SCORPION Unit Cont from
page 1
He applauded their work and said the unit was helping reduce violent crime and homicides.
“Since its conception last October, through three days ago, the SCORPION Unit had a total of 566 arrests,” he said.
But Strickland didn’t say how the unit managed to arrest so many people so quickly. There was no mention of how the officers were picked to be in the unit nor their training, chain of command, or directives.
On the night of January 7, SCORPION officers pulled over an unarmed Black man. They say Tyre Nichols was recklessly driving, although the chief says she hasn’t found any proof.
MPD later released the video from that night capturing the officers’ disturbing and aggressive tactics against Nichols as they beat, stunned, struck and kicked him.
Nichols’ injuries were so severe, he was taken to the hospital in critical condition. He died three days later.
Nichols’ family and attorneys demanded the SCORPION Unit be scrapped. They stated units like it can “morph into wolf pack misconduct” and cause “terror in minority communities.”
“These officers went off the rail and went beyond the scope of what we’ve seen in our scorpion unit,” Chief CJ Davis said on WREG’s Live at 9.
Chief Davis and Mayor Strickland agreed there needs to be an outside, external review of MPD’s specialized units and use of force policies. On Friday, the mayor announced the Department of Justice and the International Association of Chiefs of Police will do that.

Man released from jail for domestic violence shot at ex-girlfriend’s home by: Melissa Moon
Posted: Feb 6, 2023 / 09:54 PM CST MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Police say a man just released from jail for domestic violence assault against his ex-girlfriend was shot and killed by another man when he showed up at the woman’s apartment.
Lamarquez Wilburn, 20, (top) told investigators he shot Axzaibeion Irby (bottom) in self-defense. He has been charged with voluntary manslaughter.
The ex-girlfriend called police Sunday morning and told them Irby was outside her door at the Mill Creek Apartments in Whitehaven.
Officers went to the apartment complex but said they could not find Irby. They returned a second time when the ex-girlfriend reported the shooting.
According to court records, Wilburn lives at the same apartment as the ex-girlfriend.
A witness told investigators he heard two men arguing and when he looked out his door he saw Wilburn pull a gun from his pocket. The witness said he went back inside his apartment and heard several shots and a woman yelling.
Police said Wilburn turned himself in after his family members called police. They said his sister also gave officers the gun used in the shooting.
Man shot, left on North Memphis street, family says Police have not said what Wilburn’s relationship is with the ex-girlfriend.
If you are a victim of domestic violence you can call the Family Safety Center’s 24-hour crisis line at (901)800-6064. You can also call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE.
