The little T-ballers have started up and some of them taking off for third base after hitting that ball off of the T. A sure sign that parents are outdoors for some fun family activities. Youth sports has always been an important start to spring and it is so refreshing to see the little ones on their way to practice and parents are getting the enjoy the Great Outdoors of West Tennessee again.

Celebrating National Poetry Month with a look at: April officially kicks off National Poetry Month! For these 30 days, we recognize, celebrate, and admire the power of poetry. Poetry, delicately wrapped in rhyming or non-rhyming schemes or dancing between different tempos, is an art that encapsulates the beauty of human language and perspective. James E. Cherry stands at the vanguard of this art form and particularly in the tradition of so many black poets and writers who have used poetry as an art form toward exploring the beauty, vastness, and even complexities of black life. He is the author of three collections of poetry, two novels, and a collection of short stories. For Cherry, literature itself allows the reader to explore the human condition in a nuanced way. It allows one to be carried by narrative and storytelling, whether fiction or non-fiction, to experience a world yet known to them. Cherry’s love for poetry and writing more broadly has been praised locally and even nationally. He has been nominated for an NAACP Image Award, a Lillian Smith Book Award, and a Next Generation Indie Book Award for Fiction. Cherry holds an MFA in creative writing from the University of Texas at El Paso and is currently

JAMES E. CHERRY
By: Aliyah Collinsm - CSENews
Aliyah: How did you get into poetry? Cherry: I was in my twenties and I was actually in college at the time. I always like to say that poetry and literature got into me as opposed to me getting into it. I was always interested in writing from a journalistic standpoint. However, I got to a point in my life where literature spoke to me the clearest and the loudest. Aliyah: What is about literature specifically that draws you to it? Cherry: Literature provides insight into the human condition. It allows us to get a better understanding of what it means to be a human being. That is what is universal about literature that goes beyond geography, race, and ethnicity. This is why all these years later, Shakespeare’s work is still relevant because he deals with those human emotions that are universal.
Aliyah: Growing up were you interested in literature? Did you have a favorite genre? Cherry: Not really. Growing up, like most black boys, sports was the thing to do. That is what I also wanted to do. Another thing that writing literature does is that it helps you put things into perspective. We all get to a point in our lives where we try to navigate and figure things out. Literature is a great guide. What you will discover when you read is that you are not the only one who is feeling what you are Photos Credit: Josh Garcia feeling or going through what you are going through. It gives you an avenue of self-expression that you find is much needed. Aliyah: What would you say is that body of work that exposed you to the world of literature? For me, it’s Toni Morrison’s work. What was it for you? Cherry: The definitive book for me was Rich By James E. Cherry ard Wright’s Native Son. I saw a lot of myself in the protagonist of that book, Bigger Thomas. It is a very powerful and explosive book. an Adjunct Professor etry and literature sustaining a tradiIt personifies the young black male struggle of English at the Unioffers a pathway tion so critical to the in America.

that would change the scope of the student perspective? Cherry: I think it definitely would. The more you are exposed to it, the more diverse your thoughts and perceptions of other people will be. You won’t just tolerate someone from another race, ethnicity, or even sexual orientation. You should develop a deeper appreciation for that person and their culture. Incorporating black literature into the curriculum is not only important for black students but, particularly white students as well. It can be the first step toward debunking stereotypes and negative images we see on the 6:00 news. Aliyah: How is it being a professor of English? What does your syllabus look like? What do you implement within your courses? Cherry: My main thing, especially with composition students, is critical thinking. I tell students don’t be so ready to believe everything that they are being told. Do your own investigating and draw your own conclusions. When you read widely, you can formulate your own thoughts and opinions. No matter the subject matter, whether a rhetorical analysis or research argument, critical thinking is what I push the most. Even with the course, I allow them the opportunity to express themselves. I’ll ask them to write a short story and the story can be about anything they like as long as they are creatively expressing themselves. Aliyah: What is it about poetry that you like? How is your interest in poetry different from your interest in fiction, short stories, or novels? Cherry: Of course, the genres are different. However, I feel they complement one another. With poetry, the emphasis is on the line and space. There is also this immediacy involved. Most poems are short and there seems to be immediate feedback that you’ll get. With fiction, it is a longer genre, and you have more space to express your thoughts. They complement one another in the sense that imagery is deeply involved in both genres. That is generally how I start my writing. I will start with an image, something will come to me, and I can tell if it will be a poem or story. Aliyah: Can you talk a little bit more about your writing process in general? How do you go about brainstorming? Cherry: For a novel, it can take from a year or longer, so it demands more of a planning process. I generally use a loose outline. With fiction, it is all about characters. When you think about some of the greatest novels of our time, it is the characters of those books that we remember the most. With fiction, I try to
develop a character that is well-rounded and allow that character to drive the story. With poetry, it generally starts with an image for me. Through the use of metaphor, similes, and other devices, I try to make the image so strong and clear that it leaves an indelible impression upon the mind of the reader. I can write a poem anywhere from fifteen minutes to a day depending on the subject matter. You don’t have to sit and wait to be struck by lightning to write anything. There is inspiration around us all the time.

Aliyah: Do you use literature as a political tool? Would you say that? Cherry: To an extent I do. Being a black writer, 90 percent of my writing is cultural, political, and social. However, that Is not all I write. I write nature poems and even things about relationships as well. Being a black artist, I am in the tradition of folks like Langston Hughes, Richard Wright, John A. Williams, Earnest J. Gaines, and Zora Neale Hurston. It’s those people that elevate the culture. I feel that If I’m going to engage in this art form, I don’t need to imitate what they did, but use them as a platform to add my voice to the structure and elevate the art form further.
THE MASK By James E Cherry
I sleep with a mask each night, wake in the morning to poet the city’s pandemic streets. Paul Laurence Dunbar, you know who I am: The same cheek turned at a five & dime lunch counter, eyes bloodied on a Sunday bridge against the Alabama sky. But this mask, a century later, is what remains of an assassinated dream, the smoldering ashes in an ex-hustler’s speech, a president’s post-racial society. This mask explodes, shotgunned after a neighborhood jog, glocked in a bedroom after midnight from eight no-knock bullets. This mask seeds stereotype in Dollar Store clerks upon entrance, blooms fear of a natural born suspect in baby blue eyes. I exit with disinfectant spray, readjust the mask, my only protection against a fetid nation

Walk to Improve Your Health
According to the 2021 County Health Rankings, two out of every three Tennesseans are overweight or obese; one in five report poor or bad health, and only one in five adults report being physically active on a daily basis. Pretty grim statistics for a country that claims to be advanced in health care. We may be advanced in providing sick care but when it comes to healthcare, statistics clearly paint a picture that makes us look worse than some third-world undeveloped countries. America is a sick nation. So what can we do to turn things around? We can take charge of our health by making small changes. One small change that goes a long way in improving health and well being is walking. I think Americans have forgotten that our bodies were designed to walk. As a mater of fact, we walk better than any other species on earth. There’s nothing hard about walking unless you are a baby and they master it after a few falls. You don’t have to learn any new skills, exert extra energy, or do any heavy lifting. Just put one foot in front of another and get to stepping. Need some good reasons to walk? How about starting with research that has proven that walking: Reduces risks of developing chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and others - Burns calories - Reduces stress - Improves mood - Improves circulation - Helps maintain strong bones - Tones muscles - Improves digestion - Improves sleep patterns Here are a few other tips that make walking worthwhile: You don’t need any special equipment, only a good pair of walking shoes. If you want to keep track of the number of the number of miles you walk each day/week, use your smart phone or a pedometer. You can get a good pedometer for less than $10. However the important thing to focus on is carving out the time to walk. You are more likely to stick with a walking program than any other form of physical activity. The fallout rate for other fitness activities more than doubles that of walking. Just ask anyone who is paying for a gym membership that they rarely use. Walking is one of the easiest ways to become active There are 1440 minutes in each day so make the small change and spend 30 minutes walking. Want to get a few extra steps in? Try: Walking your errands. - Parking further from the door/destination when you are running errands - Return your shopping cart to the storage area when you are shopping - Take the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator If you can’t walk 30 minutes, try 20. Can’t walk 20 minutes? Start with 10 minutes; some is better than none! The goal should be 30 minutes a day at least 3-4 days/week depending on your age and chronic conditions (if you have any). Consult with your doctor or health care provider first. If your community is not safe for walking, walk in a mall, shopping area, or a park. Here is one thing I know for certain, if you don’t take care of your body, it won’t take care of you!

United States Marshal Tyreece Miller Shares History And Responsibilities Of His Office To People
Downtown Ricky Brown Jackson’s own Tyreece Miller, who was appointed last year as the United States Marshal for West Tennessee says “this is something I want to do” as he offered an overview of his office to business community at the Old Country store. U S Marshal Tyreece Miller says “ it’s been a whirlwind since being appointed July of 2020.” He worked with area promoter “downtown Ricky Brown and assistant Coach Joe Holloway in meeting with area business people recently to share information about the office. Brown, Holloway along with Arrington Funeral Director Bob Arrington organized a business luncheon for Miller to share information regarding the history, and responsibilities of the United States Marshals office. The luncheon was held at the Old Country store . Miller discussed “Operation Volunteer Strong, which is an initiative we did in March where we rescued over 150 kids statewide. Right: Miler also visited radio show 101.5 with Dan Reaves and Seabass. DTRB-CSENews It was a great operation and partnership between the Department of Children’s Services, the TBI and U S Marshals Service” Miller, a Marine Corps veteran began working at the Jackson Police Department as a patrol officer in 1997, before becoming Deputy Chief in 2016. He credit Brown with his support of setting up his first “townhall type meeting” in this capacity. “This is something I want to do said Miller.” Income from a community oriented policing background and I believe in being a part of the community, serving in the community and that’s why we are here today” Miller said the U S Marshal has no jurisdiction and they can work and travel anywhere in the country and international locating fugitives. “We also work with Interpol - the International Criminal Police Organization- so if someone is wanted by another country, we work to deliver them to their country of origin.” “I maybe a U S Marshal, but I’m still Tyreece Millee born and raise in Jackson Tennessee and worked at Jackson Police Department for 23 years.”

RECOGNITION MATTERS! For those readers that follow my column in the Crime Seen Examiner (thank you so much), you may recall in January that I wrote that the future would be bright in 2021. If you have any doubt at all I invite you to attend the next school board meeting. I can remember that not that long ago I used to dread going to one due to the uncertainty of the length of the meeting, and wondering if there would be the usual contention prior to getting any business done. Last year due to COVID, seniors missed out on much public recognition for their accomplishments. The meeting was held at City Hall and the room was full of onlookers, media, and well-wishers. The students were visibly impressed as Dr. King also acknowledged, the parents of the students, teachers and coaches.
The Best Is Yet to Come.
The students wore attire to reflect the school they were representing. We need more of this at JMCSS and students need to appreciate that they will be the first of hopefully many graduating classes at JMCSS to have diplomas signed by Dr. Marlon King. He has made a very significant impact in a relatively short period of time. There will be two new high schools opening this fall. Madison Academic will move into a new building on the campus of UofM Lambuth and JCM will once again strive to be the talk of the town. It is my hope that this time next year Liberty Tech HS will also have something to “crow” about as more schools in the district take advantage of the options and opportunities. Kudos to the school board on their combined efforts and support of the leadership team at JMCSS. Let us not forget that the Commissioner of Education for Tennessee Penny Schwinn was in town and visited Denmark school and commended the positive strides made in JMCSS despite the pandemic. Governor Bill Lee was in West Tennessee in Humboldt to dedicate the new Tyson plant which will have an impact across the region. Nashville is taking notice. Students this fall let us focus on winning and concentrate on acceleration and not remediation. If these students could accomplish what they did this school year, learn from their example and represent proudly! #Bring It On!

FORMER FIREFIGHTER CHARGED IN WEAKLEY COUNTY CHURCH FIRE DRESDEN – A fire investigation by special agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Weakley County Sheriff’s Office into a fire at a Weakley County church has resulted in the arrest of a former Dresden volunteer firefighter on an arson charge. Last Wednesday, TBI assistance was requested by the Weakley County Sheriff’s Office in the investigation of an Easter Sunday fire at New Salem Presbyterian Church along Highway 89 in Sharon. During the course of the investigation, with the assistance of the Dresden Fire Department, agents determined the fire had been intentionally set and that Codie Austin Clark (DOB: 6/20/95) of Sharon was the individual responsible. The Dresden Fire Department had been conducting an internal investigation involving Clark following a series of recent fires in the area. This evening, Clark was arrested on one count of Arson of a Place of Worship and booked into the Weakley County Jail. He is currently free on $1,000 bond.
ALAMO MAN ARRESTED, CHARGED IN WEEKEND HOMICIDE
ALAMO – A joint investigation by special agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the Crockett County Sheriff’s Office has resulted in the arrest of an Alamo man in connection to a weekend murder. At the request of 28th District Attorney General Frederick Agee, TBI agents joined investigators with the Crockett County Sheriff’s Office in investigating the death of Ashley Clem (DOB: 2/5/91). Saturday evening, deputies responded to 911 calls from the 800 block of Dupree Road in Friendship and found Clem fatally shot inside of her home. During the course of the investigation, authorities developed information that identified Kenny Evans (DOB: 7/11/80) as the individual responsible. Early this morning, Evans was located in Brownsville and taken into custody by TBI agents with the assistance of the Crockett County Sheriff’s Office and Brownsville Police Department. Evans has been booked into the Crockett County Jail on one count of First Degree Murder and one count of Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon. He is being held without bond.
MAN SPRAYS BOYFRIEND WITH BEAR MACE
04/09/2021 - Jason Steen - www.scoopnashville.com The #BearMaceBandit strikes again, this time police say he sprayed his boyfriend with the powerful irritant during an argument last August in the middle of the pandemic. Police say Masi Kingston, 29, used the spray that’s 3x the power of police issued spray and travels 35 feet, on his boyfriend before driving a vehicle into his boyfriend‘s vehicle, while he was inside it. Police found the victim with broken glass on his eye and nose, blood on his shirt, and drenched in milk, from an attempt to ease the pain of the bear mace. Masi Kingston was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on a plethora of charges earlier this week, after serving time in a Texas jail. One of the more serious pair outstanding warrants he faced on his return was from an incident occurring in mid-August of last year. Police arrived at 945 Blank Street and met with Mandrekus North, who said his boyfriend, Masi Kingston, had attacked him on his return from Atlanta.

TRIO FROM 5-MEMBER SHOPLIFTING RING CHARGED IN THEFTS AT MAPCO STORES
04/08/2021 - Jason Steen - www.scoopnashville.com Masi Kingston (right) is the latest to be charged in series of Mapco thefts from 2019. He was served overnight as he was transferred into the Metro Nashville Jail. He will join two more co-defendants, Jerock Walker and Annisha Holmes, who were previously arrested, on their next court date to answer to the charges. Metro Nashville Police have charged Masi Kingston, Jerock Walker, and Annisha Holmes, in a series of thefts from Mapco stores on Old Hickory Boulevard. Though some were served on the outstanding warrants in recent months, the latest defendant was charged overnight. Metro Police say in 2019, a group of five people entered the Mapco at 629 Old Hickory Blvd. and worked together to distract employees so they could conceal and steal multiple items. Masi was observed on security footage reaching across the counter to the lottery tickets, and all five co-defendants fled with multiple stolen items. Two of the individuals have yet to be served with the warrants in the case.
Annisha Holmes (MNPD) Jerock Walker (MNPD)
Minutes after the above incident, the same group repeated the theft at another nearby Mapco location. Masi Kingston remains jailed on a $53,000 bond for other charges, and all 3 are scheduled to appear in court in the coming weeks.

TBI:
Student suspect killed, KPD officer wounded after shooting at Austin-East High School The TBI said the student shot at officers responding to reports of an armed male at the school, and an officer returned fire -- hitting and killing the student. Author: WBIR Staff Published April 12, 2021 -
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The Knoxville Police Department and Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said one student was killed and a KPD officer was wounded during at shooting at Austin-East Magnet High School on Monday afternoon. The TBI did not describe the incident as a school shooting, but as an officer-involved shooting that occurred inside the school after police arrived. KPD said officers were called to the school around 3:15
p.m. on reports of a “male subject who was possibly armed in the school.” The response occurred after recent shootings in the community that claimed the lives of teens who attended or formerly attended Austin-East. TBI Director David Rausch, who formerly served as Knoxville’s police chief, said officers located the suspect inside a bathroom at the school, saying he was a student. When officers approached the student, the TBI said he shot at the responding officers
-- hitting one. Rausch said an officer returned fire, hitting the student. The student was later pronounced dead at the scene. The KPD officer, who was shot in the leg, was identified Tuesday as Adam Wilson, a 20-year veteran with KPD and currently serving as A-E’s school resource officer. Wilson was taken to the University of Tennessee Medical Center where he was recovering from surgery on Tuesday morning. “It was just very chilling,” KPD Chief Eve
Thomas said. “First of all to hear that we have an officer down, second of all that it was at a school. It’s a sad day for the Knoxville Police Department and for our community.” Knoxville Mayor Indya Kincannon said she’d spoken with the officer and he was conscious and in good spirits. She said she thanked him for putting himself in danger to keep students safe, and he responded that he’d rather be hurt than anyone else. “My message is that we all need to work together to stop the vi-
olence. We are working together with the city, with parents, with the school system, with community based organizations — we all need to work on this together,” Kincannon said. “KPD is doing their part and so is the school, but it’s a big challenge. And we all need everyone to work on this together.”
