WEST TN TO TEXAS
Andrew Douglas grew up hunting and fishing in West Tennessee and has taken his skills to the Fort Worth area these days. He has always been crafty having had to do more with less as he grew up. Mr. Douglas worked on his own cars and trucks to save money as well as processing his own deer and so on. Having worked at the Fort Worth Stock Yard Rodeo helping with boot repair and shoe shine the opportunity came to open his own repair business. He went from being a helper to being the premier shoe repair and boot shine man at the rodeo. He shines boots for the Dollas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones
along with the other high profile athletes in Dallas. However, having always been resourceful he made a crappie jig out of squirrel tail because he had run out of jig skirts. What a great invention and the success was unexpected. He was not really sure if he should go fishing because the wind was high but he went on anyway. It turned out to be a great decision and he used the skills he learned in The Great Outdoors of West Tennessee to land over 30 huge crappie with that homemade jig.

HEALTH DEPARTMENT URGES HEPATITIS VACCINATION
JACKSON, Tenn. – The Jackson-Madison County Regional Health Department joins the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in recognizing May as Hepatitis Awareness Month. We urge citizens to get vaccinated and know their health status. In the United States, the most common types of viral hepatitis are hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Hepatitis A is a vaccine-preventable, contagious liver infection. It’s usually transmitted through the fecal-oral route or by consuming contaminated food or water. Hepatitis A symptoms include fatigue, low appetite, stomach pain, nausea, and jaundice. People who get hepatitis A usually recover and do not have lasting liver damage. CDC recommends all children get the hepatitis A vaccine at one year of age. Hepatitis B is a liver infection. It can be transmitted through sexual contact, sharing needles or other drug-injection equipment, or from mother to baby at birth. Chronic hepatitis B infection can cause serious liver damage and liver cancer. CDC recommends the hepatitis B vaccine for all infants at birth and for adults at risk. “In today’s world of emerging and established diseases that cannot be prevented with vaccinations as of yet, we are lucky to have such a high rate of protection with the hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccines,” Epidemiologist Shanna Shearon said. Hepatitis C is a liver infection. It is usually spread when someone comes into contact with blood from an infected person. In the past, hepatitis C spread through blood transfusions and organ transplants. Today, most people become infected by sharing needles or other equipment to inject drugs. Hepatitis C can lead to liver disease, liver failure, liver cancer, and death. There is currently no vaccine to prevent hepatitis C. It can be treated and even cured. People with hepatitis C often have no symptoms. CDC recommends anyone born from 19451965, as well as anyone else at risk, get tested. Call 731-423-3020 for more information.

SELF-MADE PATTERSON Love you.
By Susan Holloway, Program Assistant WCC Is there a park near you? A place where you can walk, jog, or meditate? One of the healthiest things we can do is jog a designated number of strides and walk equal number of strides. Jog and then walk. Jog and then walk. The spirts are very beneficial to heart rate and thus to overall health. My brother is age 59 and rides a bicycle 7-8 miles each day in 17 to 20 minutes. That is a spirt for the heart rate! Before you do any exercise, we advise you check with a doctor to access your overall health.

Festival committee members, Courtney Smith, was the person who started it all says Dr. Frederick Freed. “He traveled the world and collected teapots, we eventually had those given to the city, and we have them at city hall now,” said Freed. “We decided to have a festival sometime along the way and make it in honor of Courtney Smith.” What started out as a small teapot collection from around the world has turned into a week long festival in the Trenton community.

JacksonMadison County General Hospital relaxes visitation policy BY DAVID THOMAS MAY 3, 2021- wnws.com
Jackson, Tennessee – Due to declining volumes of hospitalizations due to novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and increasing numbers of vaccinated individuals in the community, Jackson-Madison County General Hospital will begin relaxing visitation policies effective May 3, 2021. The revised policy will be as follows:
· Non-covid-19 patients may have up to two visitors in most areas. · Visitors must be 16 years of age or older. · COVID-19 patients may NOT have visitors. · All visitors will still go through screening processes upon entry and masks are required.
“We continue to evaluate our visitation policies on an ongoing basis, and we are happy to be able to relax the restrictions slightly in an effort to provide a comforting environment for our patients,” said Deann Thelen, CEO of Jackson-Madison County General Hospital. The hospital reserves the right to further restrict visitation to facilities as the situation changes. The hospital will continue to provide updates as necessary. Follow the organization on social media or visit www. wth.org for updates.
Poetic Expression Untitled Her eyes are night deep with mysteries and spangled with dreams. They contract to swallow sun and expand to explore faint outlines highlighted by the moon. Full of wonder and craving the possibility of every moment, they dance. The rhythm isn’t caught by most, though some strive to hum the tune. Lean in and listen for the lyrics leaked in the safety of a loud room. Her eyes are where the party happens.

The Weary Blues
BY LANGSTON HUGHES Droning a drowsy syncopated tune, Rocking back and forth to a mellow croon, I heard a Negro play. Down on Lenox Avenue the other night By the pale dull pallor of an old gas light He did a lazy sway. . . . He did a lazy sway. . . . To the tune o’ those Weary Blues. With his ebony hands on each ivory key He made that poor piano moan with melody. O Blues! Swaying to and fro on his rickety stool He played that sad raggy tune like a musical fool. Sweet Blues! Coming from a black man’s soul. O Blues! In a deep song voice with a melancholy tone I heard that Negro sing, that old piano moan— “Ain’t got nobody in all this world, Ain’t got nobody but ma self. I’s gwine to quit ma frownin’ And put ma troubles on the shelf.” Thump, thump, thump, went his foot on the floor. He played a few chords then he sang some more— “I got the Weary Blues And I can’t be satisfied. Got the Weary Blues And can’t be satisfied— I ain’t happy no mo’ And I wish that I had died.” And far into the night he crooned that tune. The stars went out and so did the moon. The singer stopped playing and went to bed While the Weary Blues echoed through his head. He slept like a rock or a man that’s dead.

STEALS SOCIAL SECURITY CARD “SO HE WILL COME BACK”
03/31/2021Jason Steen On March 29th, Metro Nashville Police found D’Ante Leo Johnson leaning out of his car, covered in blood in North Nashville. His girlfriend, 23-year-old Deja Nicole McClain, admitted to stabbing him in the head with a large knife after he broke up with her. She also stole his social security card “so he would have to come back”. She is free on a $10,000 bond. Metro Police were dispatched to 1822 14th Ave North on March 29, to a report of a stabbing. Upon arrival, they located D’Ante Johnson leaning out of his car, heavily covered in blood. He explained that he was breaking up with his girlfriend, Deja McClain, when she became upset, assaulted him, and took his Social Security ID card, stating “Now you have to come back!”. Deja McClain (MNPD) He then walked up to the house, where she followed and the argument continued. Deja’s brother then joined her in assaulting the victim once again. As the brother was assaulting him, Deja entered the residence and returned with a large kitchen knife with a red handle. She told him she was going to stab him while swinging the knife wildly at him, eventually stabbing him in the head, above his right ear. Johnson recalls when he felt the knife enter his head, and felt the blood dripping down his head and face, he pulled his firearm to defend himself from the multiple assailants at that point.

COMMENDATIONS
Chief Wiser: Good morning. I write to offer commendations and appreciation to the police officers who took David Lauderdale into custody following his alleged involvement in an assault of a woman on Carriage House Drive and his assault of a Jackson police officer, which led to the officer suffering significant bodily injuries and subsequent hospitalization. All of this occurred on Thursday, April 29, 2021. From various news accounts across the country, it appears that a good number of resistant and unarmed suspects are killed at an alarming and too frequent rate. It seems as though these killings are now routine. So the fact that your officers exhibited restraint and did not resort to the use of lethal force is admirable. It’s even more admirable when you consider that one of their own had been severely injured by the suspect. Accordingly, I feel compelled to let you know that the actions of your officers in apprehending the suspect and not shooting or killing him are laudable. If the officers had shot or killed the unarmed suspect, the media would be all over it. Accordingly, by copy of this email to local media representatives, I urge them to publicize and even editorialize on the restraint that your officers exhibited and make it known to the public and other law enforcement agencies that taking an unarmed and resistant offender, alive, into custody can be done…just as your officers did it! Although I still firmly believe that your refusal to come onto Community Feedback is a missed opportunity on your part to assure the community that JPD has policies and practices in place that limit the use of deadly force in cases where there is no objective reason for it, I also firmly believe that the public should be made aware when police restraint is utilized. The offer for you to come onto Community Feedback is open to you at any time. Richard Donnell

Hillbilly In The Mist
I’m sitting in a large convention hall in a Las Vegas hotel with a group of probably 1000 fellow store managers and corporate people. Jackie Joyner-Kersee is on the stage speaking as a paid guest of the company. Her talk is a fine, yet typical motivational lecture about how she overcame great odds rising from adversity and achieving great things through her hard work and mental toughness. Of course as she scans the room she claims to detect the very same attributes and abilities in each of us that are present and listening .She is a good speaker and I remember that she was once an accomplished track star .She does a good job with the motivational speech and after she winds up her talk the politely exits the room. I never laid eyes on her again. In my mind I said to myself “Well she just lit a rag and took off!” It later occurred to me that if I had said that statement aloud that I would have been the only person in the room that knew what it meant. Every person within earshot would have either ignored me or would have given me a funny look. I then realized that my inner voice speaks with an Appalachian dialect. I know from genealogy research that my fathers side of the family followed the common migration patterns of the time by moving from the Appalachian mountains through middle Tennessee and eventually ending up in Northern Mississippi when the Indian Territory opened in 1836.I grew up in an environment where the remnants of Appalachian influences remained strong. The mountain dialect, the isolated hard-scrabble lifestyle ,the clannish attitudes, superstitions and work habits were still present generations removed from their origin. In my case as the youngest child of older parents it only takes about 4 generations to place my people back into the mountains where they came from. As I have become older I find that my interest in the “hill culture” has increased and I listen for and find scattered words and phrases still being used that originated in Appalachia. The people that use these words and phrases at the present time often have no idea of where they came from and all historical value is lost from it as it comes off the tongue of the speaker. I don’t dare to freely speak these words and phrases in public but I realize that I think responsively using those old terms. If my boss asks me about where I placed a file or when a project is going to be completed I might respond in my mind “It’s over yonder” or “I’ll finish it directly”. I know there are probably a lot of people my age or older that think the same way and we have to measure our words to make sure the “hillbilly” does not escape off our lips. To do so would result in others looking at us with puzzlement and study us much the same way Dr. Jane Goodall studied her chimps in the old “Gorillas in the Mist” documentary from back in the 80’s. When you hear someone using some of this language that sounds like butchered English and perhaps ignorant or dumb on the surface, keep in mind that it didn’t originate from the king’s english. but rather from Scottish and Welsh speech patterns and dialects and contains remnants of Elizabethan English. Shakesphere himself likely might say that “A feller is fishing in the shaller end of the pond”. The point of this is to say that it’s fun to examine the speech that we use and can be even more fun to try to find out how and why we use these words that naturally live in our subconscious. It also helps us to avoid feeling like one of Dr.Goodalls mountain primates even though I still often feel like a “Hillbilly in the Mist” before I speak aloud.

‘THE LEGACY OF LANE’ Interview with Lane College President Dr. Logan Hampton
Dr. Logan Hampton is no stranger to the Madison County community. As the 10th President of the illustrious Lane College, he has been dedicated to higher education and student development way before his arrival at the institution in 2014. He has an extensive background in student affairs and higher education administration that has shaped him for the presidency of the beloved Lane College. Lane College was founded in 1882 by the CME church to provide black citizens with the opportunity to pursue an education. With $240 Bishop Lane purchased the first four acres of the land that we now call Lane College. The institution has been dedicated and steadfast toward upholding the commitment of inspiring people in the south, across the nation, and around the world. Walking in this tradition, President Hampton has been a beacon of light for the Lane College community and the greater Jackson community through his call to service and leadership. As 2021 will mark his 7th year in the presidency, Dr. Hampton has grounded himself in his faith and passion for inspiring student potential and success at the highest degree. When the Covid-19 Pandemic hit our communities in the most abrupt and invasive way, like so many others, the Lane College community faced towering challenges and threats. From student retention, institutional finances, and student health concerns, President Hampton and his leadership team were forced to act urgently and strategically to sustain their precious institution and ensure the safety of all individuals within the learning community. Amid hardship, President Hampton and the Lane College community have proved themselves strong. They have learned the significance of teamwork on another level in which they managed to build a community like never before. President Hampton is proud of the durability and endurance that the Lane College community has shown. Furthermore, he is excited about the future of the institution and its impact on the world. Though the pandemic has offered many challenges, they nonetheless have gained more victories. Their athletic program is looking to skyrocket with new coaching additions, the school has seen spectacular growth in fundraising, and students are more excited than ever to call Lane College their home. Under the auspice of President Hampton, Lane College remains true to its values and mission to provide a transformative educational and faith-based experience to raise the next generation of leaders. Hampton is walking in the tradition of so many giants who answered the call to the ministry of Christ and higher education. From Bishop Isaac Lane to Wesley McClure, President Hampton also continues to dedicate his life’s work to the body of educational development for black and brown students across the board. Q: Talk about your journey to the presidency at Lane College. Hampton: I served in student affairs and I was a student affairs employee in higher education. Simultaneously, I working as a pastor in the Christian Methodist Episcopal church. My career continued to advance in both the university world and in the church world. When the position at Lane College came open, it appeared to me to be the kind of position that would allow me to combine my two ministries - the ministry of education and salvation. So, I applied, the college offered, and I have been here since 2014.
Q: Can you speak about your current goals and vision for Lane College? Hampton: At Lane College, our core values are transformation, liberation, and celebration. Since 1882, we have been transforming lives,
liberating minds and souls, and celebrating excellence in Christ and our community. Our institution is a committed liberal arts institution that is committed to developing the whole student in a residential, faith-based environment where we are able to help students find their life purpose. I say to students to I want them to have achieved three things when they leave: I want them to know the lord, to know their lesson, and their life’s purpose. When I say I want them to know the lord, as an educator, what I mean by that is that I want them to know Christian values and principles on which they gain build their lives. This includes principles such as I am my brothers/sisters’ keeper, I love my neighbor, and I do unto others as they do unto me. We want students to know these principles. Next, we want them to know their lesson and be an expert in the field of their choosing. Additionally, we want them to know their life’s purpose. We want them to know that thing that they are uniquely called to do. It is by them pursuing their purpose in life that they then become a blessing to themselves, their families, and the community in general.
Q: What have you and the Lane community learned as a result of the pandemic? What were some of the successes and challenges? Hampton: The period has brought on great stress. I tell my faculty, staff, and students that I have probably prayed for them more during the
pandemic than ever before. The pandemic was a threat to the health and safety of students, faculty, and staff, and also posed an existential threat to the college. A major question was would we be able to survive the kind of blow as a result. It brought a level of threat that nothing other than a pandemic would bring. However, we have learned some great things about our institution! One thing we learned that we have the capacity to work together in ways that we would not have admitted about ourselves prior to the pandemic. As we prepared for the fall, we had a C-19 team that was a group made up of administrators and campus leaders that made daily to deal with the rapid changes. We also developed a pandemic proof team that consisted of our scientists, member of health services, and housekeeping. We brought this team together to engage in conversations regarding the overall health of the learning community. 05-06-21

We also worked with a consultant that was very helpful in bringing together a larger group of faculty and staff that met weekly to think strategically on how to respond to institutional threats. Lastly, we developed a spin control tower that monitored the expenditures of the colleges. The tower was managed by our CFO, Vice president of student affairs, and budget manager. Every expenditure went through the tower. The pandemic gave us the motivation to forego the work and team-building needed for success. We really came together as a community to respond to the threats. Although it has been challenging for both faculty and students, our faculty, transitioned from being a residential in-person learning community to a virtual community over spring break. That was just masterful! It’s not been perfect, and it has been most difficult, but our faculty were able and willing to adjust. I celebrate our faculty, administrative teams, and our students! We never had any problem with our students wearing a mask! They also worked in pods very well. As a result, for about 9 of 16 weeks we have zero positives in the fall. In the spring term, we had a total of 6 positive cases for the entire spring semester. I celebrate everyone across the campus! Q: Can you talk about the new additions and accomplishments of the college during the pandemic? The additions to the athletic programs, the home depot award, and more! How has it impacted the institution? Hampton: There is good news during the pandemic! Our fundraising continued. Folks in institutional advancement saw an increase in giving this year. We have gotten great support from alumni, church communities, sororities, fraternities, and other groups within the community. We competed in the Home Depot retool your school and we have almost got accustomed to winning in that. We won again this year the $50,000 prize. We are going to use those funds to build an on-campus TV studio. Our coaches have done a masterful job! We hired coaches during the pandemic. We hired Coach Joel Worthington to coach our women’s softball. He has just hit the ground running! We hired Coach Ricardo Page as the head of track and field. Recently, we introduced Coach Andre Turner who played at the University of Memphis, overseas, and in the NBA. He has been coaching as high school basketball coach at Memphis Mitchell and even led them to a championship. We acquired him to build on the basketball tradition that we have. Next, our baseball team is the only sport that is playing. One thing I did for athletics was to give them the option to compete in the spring. Our baseball team was the only team that decided to compete. Others did not and we supported that. Last year our baseball team was celebrated for winning the black college nines small college national championship. Head Coach Barber won coach of the year! Our new head football Coach, Coach Byron Brown, was able to get his players through spring training and weight training without any positive cases. The baseball team also went the entire season without any positive cases. Athletics are going exceptionally well! Q: With the rise of social unrest, especially during the pandemic, how do you see the role of HBCU’s as agents of change. We have all been witnessing the recent rise of police brutality and the killing of unarmed black men and women across the country. What role do HBCU’s play in the realm of social change? Hampton: Education, liberation, transformation, and social justice is in our DNA. It is who we are. The idea that would become Lane College survives the yellow fever pandemic of 1878 – right towards the end of reconstruction. In 1882, some black folks get together and say we are going to educate these populations of citizens who it has been illegal to educate. They made a decision to create an educational institution facing that! We cannot get away from that history and who we are. It is no surprise that in the 1960s, Lane College students sat in and protested Woolworths and downtown. They marched and were arrested for voting rights. I tell students from time to time; ‘you make a decision about where you want to eat based on if you have a ride and how much money you have in your pocket.’ There were generations of students that came through Lane College who did not have that privilege and opened the door for future generations. Our NAACP chapter has been the college chapter of the year consistently for several years. Even before George Floyd, Lane’s students were advocating, registering folks to vote, and lobbying at the TN state legislature. These are Lane College students actively engaged in that kind of work right now! 05-06-21

Last year at the Juneteenth celebration, I said that members of our com munity did not need that horrific and painful public execution of George Floyd to tell us that there were problems in our community. Our students had been working on those problems. They continue to work! This is a part of our core values at Lane College. Q: What advice would you offer the younger and rising generation of leaders? Hampton: First, I would say find your passion. Find that thing you would do for free. I get to wake up every day and work with students. I get to help them achieve their dreams and find their purpose in life. I’m going to do that whether I’m at Lane College or a cashier at Walgreens. That’s what I want to do. So, find your life’s purpose. I would also say use all of your resources to be successful and advance your personal goals! Use all your talents and gifts that God has given you but don’t forget that you must also put in the work! You can have the idea and vision, but you have to put in the miles!

BRING KODAK HOME
We are 10 months in so on his fb pg Bring Kodak Home we attempted to pick pictures that showed him all sides. His white X shaped chest patch that’s like an old mans gray hair. He NEVER had the Snow White color pits have.... never nor does he have a single speck of white ANYWHERE on him unless you considered his male feature has lighter hair mixed in. Also if you go on fb Kelsey Marie or Kelsey Marie Ross there are tons of pics & videos. This dog is highly trained. He color is rare. He is more of an orangish brown color with brindle striping down his back. He would have been neutered long before but due to health issues & meds used the Vets wanted to not pull all his testosterone at same time as Med he’s on. He has Xtreme separation anxiety. This city & thousands of strangers from as far away as CA have followed him. We started a new program just put out with his fb pg. He was on so many sites if there was a sighting other ppl were not getting others to share their pet b/c Kodak became as someone called him out “community dog” late summer. Every sighting 100s would show up screaming his name which made him hide deeper due to separation anxiety. Little ladies in LANA had coffee n prayer for us every am. It’s very humbling & overwhelming. The positive we’ve witnessed during this terrible storm is humbling & overwhelming. I just need his pics with basic info out for eyes to see who have no internet although they may need to access at some point & cell numbers.
I need the 5000.00 REWARD especially with quote all will be confidential & no arrest will be made!!
I’ve learned despicable things during this journey with fighting, trafficking, drug& gangs. So many things I cannot & will not share that could get people killed. All we want is my baby home. Pet trafficking so needs to be addressed. It’s here big time in Jackson already. All the dogs aren’t being dumped. Pet trafficking is just like drugs & sex trafficking. It’s a well oiled machine. It’s mind blowing. Kodak has been on PawBoost, lostmydoggir, Nextdoor. com, No kill, Bicycle clubs, city & co police , Craigslist, waste management, JEA 1000 fliers were put out the day after he disappeared for 12 hrs then ruined with monsoon rains. Six in City has done him twice. It’s very obvious he is being used to bred with & I hate that so bad b/c ppl are gonna get a poss dog with lots health issues. Thank you! Cindy Ross
