I am Joe Lynn Browning, candidate for District 5 Police Jury. I have been married for 48 years to Pam Shively Browning, who is retired from the Winn Parish Sheriff’s Office. Together we have 4 children, 10 grandchildren, and 2 great grandchildren. We are lifelong residents of Winn Parish. I thank God for my family and the many blessings He has given me.

Owning my own business and serving on the School Board for 35 years has given me firsthand knowledge of how to manage a budget and work with other elected officials. I have served for President for 6 different terms and Chairman of every committee.

There was a whole lotta shakin’ going on at the “Leaves,’” Autumn Leaves Nursing And Rehabilitation Center that is! There was a professional Elvis Presley tribute artist, original Elvis memorabilia on display, 50s diner photo booth, and a sleek 1959 Silver Hawk Studebaker parked outside for all to enjoy. A Louisiana State 4-H Executive Board member and members of the Win Parish Junior 4-H members dressed in 50s costumes came to enjoy the show. The excitement was real at Autumn Leaves.

Strong attendance and membership growth are keys to success of any organization and these have been placed atop the list of goals for the Winn Parish Retired Teachers Association as they prepare for the year just beginning.

Although the first meeting for the Retired Teachers is not until Sept. 17 when NSU President Dr. Chris Maggio will speak, the executive board has already met twice to chart a course for the organization under the presidency of Tommy Bankston. Vice president is Becky Brazzell, secretary Mimi Wold, treasurer Brenda Etheridge and Calling Committee chairman Pat Kent.

The group meets monthly during the nine months of the school year. The local Retired Teachers Association has some 60 members with the average meeting attendance of 25. The board feels there are another 45 prospective members so they hope to see membership grow to a total of 90, with average meeting attendance of 50.

The Rotary Club of Winnfield was the setting for a special presentation Aug. 7 when the family of a Winnfield man who was killed in action in Southern France in 1944 accepted the Louisiana Veterans Honor Medal in memory of his service.

Like so many others who gave their lives for this country during World War II, Willis E. Butts was young, just 28 when he fell in combat. His sister Marie Jacobs and other family members attended the Rotary lunch meeting to receive the award from Marion Polk, former national commander of AMVETS.
