Former FC Bulldogs Suit Up in Semi-Pro Football Action

May 28, 2012
ROXIE, MS  -  Three former Franklin County Bulldogs plan to  suit up this Saturday in new Semi-Pro football action in Brookhaven, Ms. 

Call it the ‘Dandy Dozen Team’ or a group hoping to catch the eye of an NFL scout passing through. The Tri-County Heroes, a Semi-Pro football team based out of Brookhaven, will debut Saturday night at 7:00 at Brookhaven High’s King Field against the Pike County Iron Horse in newly developed Gulf-Coast League of Minor League Football.

The team has a Franklin County flavor to it as well, featuring three former Bulldogs that starred on the Bulldogs 2006 Class 3A State Championship squad in linebacker Mike Hunt, defensive lineman Bo Tillman, and safety Greg Hunt. All three played college football, and are hopeful to catch on with an Arena League or Canadian League team. Tillman will don jersey #81, while Mike Hunt will wear jersey #21, and Greg Hunt jersey #5.

Jimmy Johns, the former Mississippi Mr. Football will quarterback the team. Johns led the Brookhaven Panthers to a Class 4A State Championship in 2004, and signed with Alabama. Off-the-field trouble derailed Johns shot at the NFL, plus it took away his senior season. After being profiled on several Jackson news-stations and magazines, Johns is hoping to make an impression on pro-scouts.

Both Johns and Tillman are former ‘Dandy Dozen’ selections by the Clarion-Ledger. Hazlehurst alum Jazzmen Guy is another at Dandy Dozen product, who will play both defensive and offensive tackle on the team.

As football goes, Saturday night should be fun for those wondering where yesterday’s high school stars are today. The team will play games each Saturday, stretching from Pensacola, Florida to Hammond, La. Kickoff is set for 7:00 this Saturday evening at Ole Brook.

Local Prison Riot Update News Stories - 1 death - 16 hurt

Monday, May 21, 2012

ADAMS COUNTY, MS -  FC News Staff has compiled the most up-to-date news stories of the Adams County Correctional Center riot which took place on Sunday, May 20, 2012.  The facility is located at 20 Hobo Fork Road and Hwy 98/84, Natchez, MS 39120


Correction Corporation of America opened its newly-constructed $128 million facility in late 2009. Adams County Correctional Center was a contract award from the Federal Bureau of Prisons to house up to 2,567 inmates. Criminal alien offenders began arriving in December 2009. 


The opening of the new facility created more than 400 new jobs in the state of Mississippi. “This is a momentous development for Adams County, its surrounding communities and the entire state of Mississippi,” said former Gov. Haley Barbour at its opening. “For more than a decade, and especially during these troubled economic times, CCA has remained a viable partner with state and local governments, filling a public need and providing good-paying jobs to Mississippians. Now, bringing a federal contract to our state represents yet another success in the making of this important public-private partnership in corrections.”


Sunday afternoon riot is the first reported major conflict since the facility opened.

B and B Foods Has Very Special Shopper

May 17, 2012
BUDE, MS 

An alligator evaded capture for more than twenty-four hours in a drainage ditch beside B&B Grocery store earlier this week.  The four foot, three year old was first spotted by a B&B employee on Tuesday.  

Wednesday afternoon after word had spread of the alligator’s presence, Franklin County Sheriff Deputies were alerted to spectators trying to gain a peak of the creature.  At that time Mississippi Wildlife and Fisheries Department was called in to help.  With law enforcement from Franklin Sheriff’s Department, Bude Police Department, Mississippi Highway Patrol, and Gaming officials, the alligator was caught with the assistance of Bruick Larkin after an hour struggle. 

With over fifty people gathered in the parking lot watching the capture, B&B store owner, Darrin Ballard, announced, “Y’all come back next Wednesday.  We’ll put another one down there and sell popcorn and cokes.” 

Wildlife officials planned to release the alligator back into the wild.  They warned that alligators reproduce quickly and they are all over this area. 

Keep an eye out as you’re out and about near water this season.

Comments on Food Pantry Closure Continue to Pour In

May 8, 2012
ROXIE, MS -  The comments to the Franklin Baptist Association Food Pantry Closure continue to be made on the article http://franklincountymsnews.blogspot.com/2012/05/secret-ballot-forces-franklin-county.html written yesterday. Here are just a few of the comments.  You may voice  your opinion or comment in the section below the article.  


Anonymous May 7, 2012 1:37 PM
Its so sad that the food pantry is closing, but as someone who worked with the Thrift Store to try to fund its efforts i can see why it has come to this. Times are hard, and its sad that not all churches could keep up with the demand to attend this crucial meeting. What will happen now Franklin County? What will happen to the little thrift store who can't keep the lights on?


Anonymous May 7, 2012 1:50 PM
Wonder who needed a job???? perhaps we can find out later (Associational Mission Director) and why not be transparent and tell what [other ministry programs] are more important than the hungry in our county. And we wonder why folks are dropping out of the churches in this county..... thought the Bible says help all and to minister to all. Would also like to see a list of Pastors attending and list of Pastors not attending.


Anonymous because there are Baptists that would ostracize those that disagree with them.....REALLY?


Anonymous May 7, 2012 8:42 PM
Maybe the Pastors were too embarrassed to watch all the "poor" come to the pantry.....too embarrassed to be there to invite them to their church???? 


Oh, or maybe they were not dressed well enough or have the right "credentials" to be invited to their church. Seems the local churches are pretty "cloned" as far as parishioners are concerned.....at least the ones I have attended.


Anonymous May 7, 2012 5:02 PM
A 'spade' is a 'spade' no matter who sent them. They were doing either the bidding of the pastor or the church that elected them ... So, are you telling me the Church does not support the ministry ? You may want to check your facts ! Seems like the article called a spade a spade 


Anonymous May 7, 2012 3:36 PM
Messenger's bring the word and 'vote' as decided by 'someone'- be it the Pastor or the Church Members - seems like a 'spade' is still a 'spade' !


Anonymous May 8, 2012 3:06 AM
The ones who voted to close the food pantry have probably NEVER volunteered at the food pantry or the thrift store. Why can't the "Associational Mission Director" volunteer for this job? Whoever is hired probably doesn't NEED the extra pay check anyway. Why can't more people volunteer to help at the thrift store? Why does it just have to be a "Baptist" thing? Why can't there be a "Franklin County Food Pantry" and let all churches and organizations raise funds to support it?

Secret Ballot Forces Franklin County Food Pantry to Close Its Doors

May 7, 2012

Typical Monthly Food Pantry
Box of Food Provided to Needy Families

BUDE, MS - The Franklin Baptist Association Food Pantry will close its doors effective May 28, 2012.  Only 13 Churches out of 22 Baptist Churches associated with the Franklin Baptist Association attended the Spring Association Meeting which was held on April 16th at the Bude Baptist Church.  As part of that meeting a motion was made and seconded to close the Food Pantry and divert the monies used for the Food Pantry to hire an Associational Mission Director in addition to funding other ministry programs.  After a lengthy discussion from the floor, a secret ballot vote was held allowing only the pastors and their pastor messengers representing their church to vote.  The vote was 24 in favor of closing and 17 opposed. Yes, you read the count correctly as 41 pastors or pastors messengers voted even though only 13 out of the 22 Baptist churches were present.  The many non paid volunteers, that have given of their time and effort over many years to operate the Food Pantry, were left wondering what 'ministry program' had they been operating over these many years.  Some volunteers have given of their time, talent and effort for over 12 years ... through thick and thin times but always with a cheerful face and a sense of pride that they were able to 'minister' to the less fortunate whom look to the Food Pantry for some assistance. 


A volunteer and Food Pantry Manager, Mr. Charles Calcote said "the volunteers here at the Food Pantry are saddened and regret the closing of this important ministry.  It has been a joy and a privilege to serve the many residents of Franklin County.  Our prayer today is that it will be in operation again to help but it will take the Churches of Franklin County doing their part in giving financially, on a monthly basis to this ministry, in order for the food to be bought and given to the needy"  One Volunteer said 'this is a ministry of love that we volunteers do; but to turn it into a paid position is so disheartening. Is one salary worth the cost of the good we have done in our County?'  Many others stood by shaking their heads in agreement.  


Mr. Calcote also suggested that any interested party that would like to voice an opinion or further discuss closing the Food Pantry; contact any of the following persons:  Mr Brad Moak 601-384-5462; Mr Leon Wallace 601-384-5925; or Mr. Marvin Howard 601-384-2581 or 601-384-7493 or The Franklin Baptist Association, 122 Holly ST N, Bude, MS 39630 601-384-2759
