Winnfield Police officers responded to a shooting in the 600 block of East Main Street late Saturday night. Upon arrival, officers encountered Michael Foshee, who, along with his wife, owns the Main Street Barber Shop. Foshee reportedly received notice of a break-in of the shop from his cell phone while asleep at home. He rushed up to the shop, found the intruder still inside the business and shot him in the leg. He then called police and reported the shooting.

The burglary suspect was identified as Tommy Joe Flowers, Jr, age 20, of Winnfield. He was treated for a minor wound and released by Winn Parish Medical Center personnel where he was then placed under arrest for the charge of Simple Burglary. Flowers was unarmed and has a history of some mental disorders. He was allegedly struck in the face by Foshee after being shot.

This year she was able to celebrate with her family, instead of through glass like last year since COVID-19 protocols have lightened in recent months.

“COVID has made out time together mean more than it ever did, it’s made our time together so special,” Jameson’s family member Helen said. “The first time I was able to see her in person after COVID, I snuck up on her and she gave a big smile and said ‘How did you get in here?”

The Winn Parish School Board met in a special public session on June 28, and Al Simmons took the superintendent seat for the first time. The meeting kicked off with Leah Clingan wanting to change the graduation dress code policy after WSHS prevented graduates this year from wearing military stoles. “I don’t care if it’s FBLA, FFA 4-H, if they have it they should be able to wear it,” Clingan said. “They’ve worked for it, there’s no reason why they can’t wear it.”

Clingan wanted the new policy to be in effect by the start of the school year, but Simmons didn’t know if enacting the policy would be plausible in that short a time span, but would like to have it take effect soon enough to give notice before the graduation in 2022.

July 4th, 1776. The Declaration of Independence. It has been noted many times that the Declaration is the “promise” of America and the U.S. Constitution, the “fulfillment” of the promise of America.

In the Declaration, with those eternal, elegantly written words, Thomas Jefferson firmly declared the separation of the thirteen existing states of the United States from Great Britain—due to the “long train of abuses and usurpations” which Jefferson carefully and eloquently outlined that King George III had inflicted on the new American states. This was, of course, the official legal and diplomatic pronouncement to the King, Great Britain, and the world that the United States was formally and politically separating from Great Britain.
