Barbecuing and bean bag tossing

EVENTS

By ECHO [email protected]

Sunny skies and mild temperatures brought many festival-goers to the sec-ond annual Brighton Fest and Car Show on Saturday, March 19. The event,

a fundraiser for the Brighton band boosters, boasted a craft fair, games, car show and plenty of food.

Clemmons: ‘It was the worst case of black mold I’ve ever seen in my lifetime.’


A chance meeting has led a Brighton handyman to help a World War II veteran after black mold was found growing inside his bedroom.

On the way to give a customer a home improvement estimate Monday, Gary Clemmons stopped at Highway 14 in Brighton. He’d only intended to buy a Coke, but the stop changed things for him.

“An old gentleman approached me and started asking a million questions about what I do,” he said. “He is 91 years old and wore a World War II Veteran hat on his head. He was in the calvary, rode horses.”

With a tender smile on his face, Gary shared that he and Jessy Fulcher chatted – about the war, about Gary’s job, about the recent death of Jessy’s wife.

“At one point, he broke down and cried while talking about losing his

wife. He said he was her caretaker for about 18 months and could barely leave her side. He was such a nice man, it was all I could do to keep back the tears as I was talking to him.”

While talking for nearly an hour at the gas station, Jessy also expressed to Gary concern over a possible leak in his tin roof. A handyman by profes-sion, Gary agreed to visit Jessy’s home and look for evidence of a leak.

But there was no roof leak. “We walked around his house,

checking the roof, which was in good shape. I suggested we go inside and check things out in there,” Gary said.

While walking down the hallway, Gary said he was overwhelmed by heat and humidity and knew there was moisture somewhere inside the home.

“As we entered his bedroom, the water in the carpet oozed up around my shoes,” he said. “At this point, I found it hard to breathe in this room and he had been sleeping in this room every night.”

Gary opened the closet door and said the smell almost knocked him down.

“It was the worst case of black

mold I’ve seen in my lifetime. His clothes were saturated with mold, the walls were covered in mold. It was like scraping peanut butter off of the wall.”

Gary removed Jessy’s clothes from the closet, discovering the hot water heater hidden in the corner didn’t have a pan underneath it to catch water. It was, he said, pouring water and draining out of the holes in the floor where the plumbing came through.

“He didn’t know there was a prob-lem until water backed up into the bedroom carpet. I was surprised he hadn’t gotten sick from sleeping in that room night after night.”

Gary suggested Jessy stay with his closest relatives – his son and daugh-ter-in-law in Somerville – after turn-ing the hot water heater off. Doing so, he cautioned, would make the mold dry out and become airborne.

Gary doesn’t know how long the hot water heater had been leaking, causing the mold to grow. He said the insurance company may not help Jessy because the growing mold was evidence it had been leaking for “some time.”

Handyman works to help veteranCOMMUNITY


It was the year that the voting age was lowered from 21 to 18, “All in the Family” debuted on television and Walt Disney World opened in Florida. And 1971 was also the same year Dr. Roger Ganier began his practice in Covington.

After four decades of dentistry, this month Dr. Ganier officially closed his doors.

“I’ve always been in my practice where I started from the get-go,” Ganier said. “I’ve always loved den-tistry and I love helping people.”

He has served three generations of families in Tipton County and extended his mis-sion to the Reelfoot area as well as to the jungles of Central America. Ganier and wife Gail have been on three mis-sion trips – one to Honduras and two to Nicaragua.

“It’s like dentistry on the fly,” Gail said. “You’re set-ting up a dental clinic in the middle of nowhere. And by clinic, I mean a chair.”

Gail recalls her husband’s help in Honduras once went beyond dental work.

“There was a boy there with a toe that had almost been cut off by a machete; it was just hanging by a thread …” she said. “While another dentist stood over him praying, Roger sewed that toe back on and the toe made it. It’s one of those moments you just never forget.”

Gail used to work in the office with her husband and has never forgotten that experience, either.

“It’s been 40 years and a lot of laughs,” she said. “They were always back there carrying on with the patients.”

In four decades, much has changed in his profession. Ganier recalls a time

BeeBeesuccessfulsuccessfulAdult spelling bee raises scholarship funds for GED studentsBy ECHO [email protected]

Last week, business leaders, teachers, school administrators, bankers and civic club members gathered to sit a spell.

Or sit and spell, rather. On Thursday, March 17,

teams gathered at Dyersburg State’s Jimmy Naifeh Center in Covington for the county’s first adult spelling bee.

It’s not that anyone doubted their abilities - the bee was set up as a fundraiser for the Tipton County Literacy Council and was organized by the TOTAL Leadership class.

“The support of the TOTAL Leadership group, community sponsorship and business prize contributions was inspiring,” said Jackie Walker, the literacy council’s executive director. “The fundraiser will allow the literacy council to sponsor four $500 continuing educational scholar-ships to GED recipients in Tipton County and scholarships for the

$55 GED exam fee.”Sponsors of the event made

donation to the organization and participated in the event, which was emceed by WMC-TV person-ality Justin Hanson.

BancorpSouth, Clayton Bank and Trust, Irish I’s, The Leader, Covington Rotary Club, First State Bank, Hamilton-Ryker, Mak-ing Memories Daycare, Muel-ler Industries, Munford High School and Brighton High School each had teams participating.

Prizes were provided by Avon, Charms, Farmer’s Insurance of Atoka, Glass Tire, Glen Eagle Golf Course, Helena Chemical, Kroger, Marlo’s Down Under, Merle Norman, Millington YMCA, Old Town Hall and Post Office Bar-beque.

After several rounds, only Making Memories Daycare and First State Bank remained in the competition. Both teams were an-nounced winners.

Friends of Jan Hughey Smith will be hosting a benefit on her behalf this weekend in Covington.

Smith, a former Head Start teacher who is cur-rently employed as the manager at Surreywood Apartments in Munford, is suffering from liver damage and has recently undergone three surger-ies.

Smith does not have health insurance.

“Jan has been one that’s done anything for anyone,” said friend Barbara Patrick. “That girl, she’s got a heart of gold. She’s a wonderful person and it’s time for Tipton County to help her.”

Smith first realized there was a problem when she had sharp pains and was turning yellow. She went to the doctor and is currently in

an intensive care unit. “There’s not sure if

it’s cancerous or not,” Patrick said.

To help raise money for their friend, Patrick and

others have organized a benefit this weekend at Patrick’s business, Gannie’s Antiques, at 211 N. Maple. The group will

before computerized scheduling and billing, the “pen and ink” days, he said. “We didn’t have high-speed turbines, electric hand pieces or lasers,” Dr.

Ganier said. “Digital x-rays weren’t on the scene then, either.”In the 1970s, he said small, one-person dental practices were prevalent, but

now it’s almost necessary to have more than one dentist in an office for eco-nomic reasons.

This month, Dr. Ganier is hanging up his dental instruments and concentrat-ing his efforts elsewhere.

“My son’s in the sod business and I’m working for him. I do enjoy being out-side so this is a good second job for me.”

Originally from Dyersburg, Ganier said he has enjoyed living, working and raising a family in Covington.

“Covington is such a great place for me to live,” he said. “Tipton County’s been wonderful to me and I’m very grateful and very happy.”

In addition to working with his son, Ganier will spend time turkey hunting. He and his wife will celebrate 40 years of marriage in November. They are the proud parents of Alex and Allison and grandparents of six.

Dr. Michelle Woodward-Edmonds has taken over Ganier’s practice. For more information, contact Dr. Michelle at 901-475-0805.

“A couple of weeks, a month … it’s hard to know, but mold grows fast,” Gary said.

And now, the handyman is doing what he can to help his new friend.

Gary has been working to help Jessy, attempting to solicit bids and donations to help clean the mold and make his home a safe place to live once again. He would also like to renovate Jessy’s 35-year-old kitchen.

Persons willing and available to help Gary in his mission are asked to contact him at 901-485-7666.

“This World War II veteran, a lifelong resident of Tipton County, needs some help,” Gary said. “His story breaks my heart, to think that he has con-tributed so much and at this point in his life … his house is falling down around him when he’s too old to help himself, no one is there for him. He and his comrades gave so much to us, maybe now is the time to give back just a little.”

City officials consider biomass gasification projectBy SHERRI ONORATISpecial to The Leader

Seeking to raise rev-enue by recycling natu-ral waste, the Covington Board of Mayor and Aldermen passed a reso-lution to authorize $4.5 million dollars for a bio-mass gasification project on Tuesday.

“Biomass gasifica-tion is essentially taking woody waste such as trees, limbs and associ-ated woody-type prod-ucts and putting them through a special proc-cess which turns them into a synthetic gas,” explained Mayor David Gordon. “This is then put into electric generators which generates electric-ity. We have a 10-year contract agreement with TVA and they will pay us $.03 cents per kilowatt premium for every kilo-watt we produced up to one megawatt.

Gordon explained to the board that the city has been exploring the options and benefits of using biomass gasifi-cation for the past 10 months.

“After going over the numbers, it looks like we can break even on this investment of $4.5 million running at about 40-45 percent capacity,” he said. “If we run at 85 percent capacity we should have excess reve-nues at $4.5 to $5 million dollars over the 10-year period.”

The mayor said the reason for pursuing bio-mass gasification is the benefits it can provide to the city.

“This will allow us to do projects such a parks and other things with this revenue that we might not be able to get done with our sales tax revenue.”

The mayor assured the board they were going slowly with the idea and there were several

benchmarks which had to be met first before the city committed itself to the project.

“There are a couple of things that have to hap-pen for me to continue with this,” he assured the board. “I haven’t signed a contract with the buy-ers of the equipment yet. They have to convince me and produce some type of performance bond that they will meet the deadlines so that we will not out money if we don’t meet TVA’s deadline, which is Oct. 12, 2011. We’re going to watch those types of things very carefully. There is a lot of excite-ment about this because instead of paying to haul off and dispose of woody waste, we’re going to turn it into a revenue generating source. But if we don’t have assuranc-es that we will meet the deadlines, I’m not sign-ing the contract “

Hadley explained to the board that approving the resolution was not an approval to go ahead with the project.

“We’re just trying to get all the paperwork in order,” added Hadley. “Just because we have the approval doesn’t mean we have to borrow until we have everything in place the mayor wants. We just have to get this ready so we can move when we need to.”

Aldermen Tommy Black and John Edwards made and seconded the motion to accept the res-olution to authorize the funding of the biomass gasification project.

Alderman Shelvie Rose, representative for District One, brought several concerns to the board’s attention during the meeting.

“We have many people who are bringing prob-lems to District One and most of the time they are bringing it to the park,” he said. “Especially in the spring, young people who have never had cars before, want to show the community and their friends just how fast these cars go and we want to ask the parents

to talk to your children because they will be get-ting tickets.”

Rose also commented on the issues of young people fighting and car-rying guns in the park.

“We don’t want guns and fighting in the park,” he added. “I am asking the community’s help in corralling many of these problems. We want to change our image. Do more fix up and paint up, plant flowers and trees to discourage bad elements from coming in your area. The police can not be on every corner, so we are going to have to do some things for ourselves and look after ourselves a little bet-ter. We don’t want these abnormal behaviors in our community.”

The board approved a proclamation honoring the National Exchange Club for 100 years of service to communities around the country and proclaimed Mar. 27 as “National Exchange Club Day.” The mayor urged the citizens of Covington to recognize the past and present contributions of the National Exchange Club and to support the Covington Exchange Club in its efforts.

Mayor Gordon report-ed the work day at Cobb-Parr Park on Mar. 19 was a tremendous success with volunteers help-ing to clean the grounds, tear down the old score-boards in preparation for new ones, fixing drain-age issues and gathering trash.

“A lot of citizens and residents showed up to work, in addition to Public Works and department heads,” said Gordon. “It looks like it’s in very good shape now.”

The mayor invites vol-unteers to help with the next work day which will be held at Frazier Park on Saturday, April 30. Volunteers should meet at 8 a.m.

During the sales tax report, Recorder-Treasurer Jere Hadley gave the good news that citizens are continuing to shop at home.

“People are still buy-ing things in Covington and Tipton County,” he said. “And we’ve got to have this. This is one of our major sources of rev-enue in Covington.”

Total sales tax collected for the month of January amounted to $215,035, an increase of more than four percent over col-lections last year of the same month. Hadley also reported the city is above budget by $65,198 or an increase of four percent, bringing the year-to-date sales tax collection to $1,708,276, an increase of three percent over last year’s figures at this time.

Ordinance 1613 was presented during a pub-lic hearing during its third and final reading. The ordinance changes the service charge for a second roll-out contain-er from $18 to $10. The charge for the first roll-out container remains at $18. The motion was made and carried with all aldermen voting for approval.

New business pre-sented included approv-ing the winning bid for a commercial rear dis-charge zero turn mower the public works depart-ment. Kalb Equipment presented the winning bid of $12,890. The motion was made and approved to award Kalb Equipment with the con-tract.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen meets at 5:30 p.m., the second and fourth Tuesday of every month at Covington City Hall. The public is invited and encouraged to attend.

'New pro and son'

Improvement can be expensive; we need your help

Did you know The Leader still has a print shop that cranks out tons of products each week?

Leader Printing has been printing for Tipton County as long as The Leader has been cover-ing Tipton County and that’s 125 years if you’re curi-ous.

When people think about printing some-thing, we sometimes get forgotten; it’s natural. We’re known more as a newspaper than as a print shop.

Still, we hope you’ll think of us the next time you need letterhead, envelopes, brochures, magazines, business cards, wedding invita-tions, materials for your church, school and more. The fact is that we need your business.

When you buy printed materials anywhere else, you’re getting what you pay for and I don’t think that’s a bad thing.

But when you print with us – or advertise with us – you’re get-ting more. You’re help-ing us add page count, keep reporters on staff and more. We know you want more coverage, but people don’t work for free and our newspaper printing bill is expensive. Covering these costs is part of doing business and more business will eventually mean more coverage.

We’ve been here serv-ing the community for 125 years and the news-paper and print shop are the oldest estab-lished business in Tipton County.

We know you’ve got plenty of other good options for printing and we know that in this economy, you can’t afford to pay more for printing. If we can’t match or beat your current price, we

understand we probably won’t get your business. But if we’re as cheap or cheaper than the other guys, consider what more you’re getting – or, to put it another way, look at what more you are giving back to the

community.It’s no secret

that the cur-rent recession has taken its toll on lots of b u s i n e s s e s , including this one. We’re still strong, but we want to be stronger still. We want more feet on

the street, more pages of news and more sports coverage. Having the resources to provide all of that, however, is not as easy as sitting back and waiting for the checks to roll in.

Gives us some consid-eration and let us put together a quote for you. Our print shop is run by Shane Waits, a lifelong Tipton County resident, who is assisted by Richard White. Shane has been working here for 20 years, his entire adult life. Richard has more than 40 years of printing experience here and elsewhere.

We think you’ll be sat-isfied with the quality and the price and you’ll be getting a whole lot more than you’re pay-ing for.

For our loyal adver-tisers, subscribers and print customers, we are very, very thankful for the trust you’ve placed in us and for the suc-cesses you’ve helped us achieve in this milestone 125th year. For those of you who aren’t frequent customers, give us a call about advertising or printing. It costs nothing to inquire and you might be pleasantly surprised with the results.

The smell of goldI can go back in time

now and recollect a smid-gen of us puttin’ in our first garden. Years later on one of our famous front porch talks Momma and Daddy discussed the hard work and calcula-tions of the dimensions, need, drainage and loca-tions for our upcoming vegetables. Sometimes I think there was more studying on this situa-tion than on the Battle of Shiloh. My country farmers know what I’m speaking of.

Think about the corner posts, depth, height, wire, strength, the size of sta-ples, and length of braces and the distance between diggings. These designs would make ole Frank Lloyd (Mrs. Wright’s little boy) kinda’ proud. Of course, nowadays if someone desired a little vegetable garden they would just hire someone to lay it out while they’re at work or wherever. But when you are ‘pore’ you do all yo’ own scuffling. Proudly, that’s what we did. Actually Daddy did ‘pert nigh’ all the work, but I was the head swamper. (Southernese for number one helper)

Neighbor, going back in time revives some

fond memories of think-ing I was going to expire before my first double digit birthday. Like all my friends from previ-ous decades their parents had this notion that if you wanted to eat; you had to work. Tommy and Lynn reminded me their par-ents were the same, as they were digging the soil. If you wanted a roof over your nog-gin; go to work. Emerson, Arvis, Phil, Don and Wayne intent-ly heard, “if you want-ed some duds on your back; got to work, as it don’t rain down on you.” Don’t snicker, for us ole rednecks it as was just a way of life.

We recollected how we spent many hours pre-paring this future gar-dening spot. Daddy was working at the Powder Plant at Millington mak-ing explosives for the war overseas when he bought the Rosemark ponderosa from Mr. Simonton. We didn’t have nuthin’ to begin with. So nuthin’ from nuthin’ leaves nuthin’.

Beloved, Daddy finally

picked out his plantation spot and convict punisher (For Me). With the prep-aration somewhat com-pleted Daddy got in road gear which is fourth on a Ford-Ferguson tractor according to the Swami. Neighbor, a country boy

can go back in time. The sag-ging barn was about to lay down so before we did any-thing we had to shore it up. But this mean-dering around and eye-ball-ing the falling

down structure brought a glazed twinkle to Daddy’s eyes. Could he have seen gold? Yes as a matter of fact he had. I was too young to share in his excitement but I did share in the smell.

Only a country red-neck would understand the adulation and the jump in adrenalin that brought an inaudible prayer softly from Daddy. City slickers would be coughing, snorting, eyes watering, gagging and calling for some cured out cedar limbs to kill the odor, but not Daddy. He was celebrating simi-lar to a Baptist revival

right before a good pond water baptizing. Now brother, that’s emotional. But understand there’s gold in them there stalls and stables.

Brother, the fun began. Since we had no tools to speak of, Daddy meandered around and came up with some used equipment that wouldn’t hold up in a good ’coon hunt. He hooked the two wheeled trailer to a hitch on the back of the nine-teen forty Ford coupe and we commenced hauling gold and pil-ing it in the edge of the garden spot. The shovel was taller, the pick axe was heavier, the hay fork was bundle some and floppy, the three pronged pitchfork made nice lit-tle holes in my legs and I wanted to run away. But I had a vision come over me of clothes, food, and a roof when it was raining. So I just kept picking and shoveling. Maybe some of those Yale right winged intel-lectual type do-gooders probably would call this child abuse. But we red-necks just called it trying to survive. Country dig-ging and loading some old golden Memories…Glory!

Although some in anger will be

At least they can’t ask for a refund

I wrote that one night after a conversation with someone who asked my advice on a matter. I do not remember the matter or the advice I offered, but I remember the per-

son being very upset with me. I recall thinking rather humor-ously that I was glad I did not ask to get paid for my opinion as I would have likely had to give a refund. N o w ,

I believe we should always try to be tactful, and I do subscribe to the old adage our moth-ers taught us that “just because you think it, don’t mean you ought to say it.” That’s sound advice, but I must admit

Not a penny for my thoughts

that there are times when I’m asked to opine that I can have a tendency to get right to the heart of a matter rather too direct-ly. Time, experience, and age have tempered me to be more tactful, but I can still get a rise out of folks if I’m not careful. Of course, I have to con-fess that there are times I don’t try to be careful.

I suppose my military background combined with a confi-dence in convictions has made me a rather direct person about a lot of things. In the service you were expected to know what you wanted to say, and then just say it. I’ve also been blessed to work in environments where people generally had a thick skin, and as long as you were professional and did not take differ-ences in opinion person-ally, you could generally speak freely.

I’ve learned that folks often do not want to hear the truth when they ask your thoughts on a matter. Sometimes people just want you to affirm what they think or believe, whether right or wrong. The real stress I find when asked my opinion is when my wife asks about her new hair-do, a dress, something she has done to decorate

in the home, or a new dish she has made. This is when the waters are very dangerous and man traps abound, so here one must learn to be most tactful, diplomatic, and sometimes downright dishonest. Of course, I have never had to be as my wife’s hair, dress, decor and dinner are always perfect, but some of those other guys!

Aside from exempted marital situations, just give your thoughts for free. Be prepared to have disagreement, but don’t take it personal. On

issues of form and style, one can usually conform or compromise on many matters, but as Thomas Jefferson said, “On issues

of principle, stand like a rock against the cur-rent”. Anyway, that’s my thought, whatever it’s worth.

Bee a S-U-C-C-E-S-S

Dear editor, The Tipton County Literacy

Council had an adult spelling bee fundraiser on Thursday, March 17, which was implemented by the 2010-2011 Adult TOTAL Leader-ship group. The support of the TOTAL Leadership group, com-munity sponsorship and business prize contributions was inspiring. The fundraiser will allow the lit-eracy council to sponsor four $500 continuing educational scholar-ships to GED recipients in Tipton County and scholarships for the

$55 GED exam fee. There are approximately 8,500 residents of Tipton County who have not com-pleted high school, but with the continued support of the commu-nity, we will prepare our adults to continue their education.

I would like to thank the spon-sors who made this spelling bee a success: BancorpSouth, Clayton Bank and Trust, Irish I’s, The Leader, Covington Rotary Club, First State Bank, Hamilton-Ryker, Making Memories Daycare, Muel-ler Industries, Munford High School and Brighton High School. Prizes were provided by Avon,

Charms, Farmer’s Insurance of Atoka, Glass Tire, Glen Eagle Golf Course, Helena Chemical, Kroger, Marlo’s Down Under, Merle Norman, Millington YMCA, Old Town Hall and Post Office Bar-beque.

The spelling bee would not have been a success without the TOTAL Leadership group of 2010-2011.

Thank you all!

Jackie Walker, executive directorTipton County Literacy Council

Some Great Thing

FaithTHURSDAY, MARCH 24, 2011

A7

There was a flood. The water kept rising. As the waters got deeper and deeper, the man retreated to the roof of his home. He prayed fervently that God would save him from the flood. The deeper the water got, the more fervently he prayed. As he prayed, he saw a log float by but he stayed on the roof. Then a boat approached and the man rowing the boat begged him to get in. The man on the roof replied, “I’m waiting for the Lord to save me." The man in the boat reluctantly rowed away. Finally a helicopter appeared with a ladder dangling from its belly, but he waved the helicopter away, all the while praying for God to save him. Eventually the house was sub-merged by the flood and the man drowned. Awaking in heaven, he complained to God saying, “Why didn’t you save me?” God replied, “I tried to- three times. I sent a log, then a boat and finally a heli-copter.” This is a fictional story but it illustrates a problem many have concerning salvation. Many are looking for “some great thing” from God, a miracle if you will. The means of salvation from the flood was not what this man expected or how he thought it should be so he simply ignored it. Likewise the world ignores the simple plan of God to save them. The Bible tells us of a man named Naaman (II Kings 5), who was the captain of all the Syrian army. Naaman was a leper. Naaman and the company with him eventually end up at Elisha’s door to be healed. Elisha, the prophet of God, sends word by his servant to Naaman to go dip seven times in the Jordan River

and he will be cleansed. Naaman was not pleased with this simple command. II Kings 5:11 But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper. 12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? May I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage. Naaman was blessed with wise servants who reasoned with him. II Kings 5:13 And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the proph-et had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? How much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean? His servants realized his ego and his pride were keep-ing him from his cure. If he had been told to wage a war or rescue a damsel in distress, he would not have hesitated for a moment for that would be a great thing. Their argument to him was: If you would do some great thing, some difficult thing, why not just do the simple thing he said, “Wash, and be clean.” Cooler heads prevailed and Naaman did obey the word of God from Elisha. II Samuel 5:14Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. Both the man who drowned and Naaman were looking for “some great thing” to save them. For both, the way of salvation

was in their grasp but it was not the way they thought it should be. The way of salvation was simple, so simple that the man who drowned did not recognize it. So simple that Naaman turned up his nose at it and thought it was beneath his dignity to com-ply with the terms of salvation. Luckily Naaman had wise coun-sel who convinced him to accept God’s will on God’s terms and Naaman was saved from his lep-rosy. People today refuse God’s sal-vation. They are looking for some great thing- a vision, a sign, a miracle, some better felt than told experience. God has sent us some great thing, His Son. (John 3:16) His Son has given us a great thing- the gospel, the power to save us. Ro 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Hear the words of Jesus himself: “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel (Why? Because it is God’s power to save) to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized (Our salvation is predicated on obedi-ence to the gospel) shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” Mark 16:15-16 But the word not obeyed is like medicine not taken, it does not do a bit of good. Heb 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great sal-vation?

I stand here staring at a blank page of where you were. At this moment, I am an empty shell. The breath of you lies silent in all of us as we stare, glassy eyed into this new land. Nothing matters. Physical pain does not live in this body. We stand here now flickering the light upon still dark water and stoop by the river to search for a reason to the loss of our treasured artist.

The second greatest tragedy to losing your first born son is losing a brother. He lived with me through the loss of mine and told me how he was now my brother and would be forever. But that’s not what happened. Instead, the burnt orange Arkansas glow backed its claws across the sky in a reclamation of innocence in it’s cruelest way. No air that has yet set forth before or beyond this moment would or will stand taller. His sensitive intelligent nature left on us like a film of woodsmoke. As one of his favorite authors Cormac McCarty once said, “Shrouded in the black thunderheads the distant lightning glowed mutely like welding seen through a foundry smoke. As if repairs were under way at some flawed place in the iron dark of the world.”

I see now that he himself was his teaching. Those days we ate burritos in a room full of guitars we now call life. I watched his father one night as we sat in the living room on Park Street and listened to him play music. That night I saw love in its rawest form. Those were the moments you taught us to look for. Those times when he asked us to walk in his world and fall silent not to the question but to the encryption of the answer. A demeanor like smeared paint across a used canvas. He wasn’t afraid to shake hands with the joker and dared us all to do the same. Each of us here tonight had things we could talk to him about that we can’t even say to each other. Part of the crime in this is everyone had something special with Clinton, and it will not be re-created. He and Rex were close not because they were alike but because they didn’t need to say it. He was a snake charmer, living off the smoking tray of life only to scream in the face of normalcy not to prove a point but to bring us all into his wavy sort of light.

His artwork urged us to abandon the simple thoughts in life and swim deeper. He saw the world like no one should have been allowed to and handed it back to us without

reclaim. He didn’t need us but we needed him. You couldn’t hurt him, but you just as easily could. He moved through life like a smoke cloud burning from a stick in the corner of the room.

On Sunday March 6th he wrote on his blog, “I Go Through Phases Lately. More poems and rambling prose are promised soon. Thanks for watching and tune in tomorrow, you never know and neither do I.”

For his mother there is no better description than to say that they were the same. No subject untouched. Artistic seeds symbiotically watered with countless hours talking, laughing, and creating. To say they understood each other would be a belittlement. To say she loved him would not go far enough. More correctly, you would say he was a part of her broken off and re-shaped.

You were a flaming ball of Hunter Thompson, John Frusciante and Faulkner that lived in some thirty year old faded corduroy jacket my grandfather wore and an orange ski hat that used to have a squirrel live in it. I’ll never forget how mad you got when Nonnie told you she was gonna throw seeds in your truck and grow a garden. One thing is for sure though, if there was anything you didn’t want to hear about yourself just ask Clinton.

People have been asking what they can do, so here is a suggestion. If you want to show your respect for Clinton, take a moment to practice what he taught. Take some time tonight or tomorrow or whenever you can and ask someone how they feel and mean it. Circumvent small talk and instead ask someone what moves them and why they carry on each day. Leave behind ego driven conversations about what you posses or desire to obtain. Feel the fluid of life like he would want you to by doing something out of the ordinary. Pour yourself a glass of wine at 3am when you can’t sleep. Park with one tire on the curb and dare them to give you a ticket. Carry your luggage in a black trash bag and not care. And best of all, if you do get a ticket, drop it off at Nonnie’s house and she’ll mail the check.

Clinton, you were beyond your years but you’ll forever soar with us. Just like you are. Always, our strange painted bird.

Brighton, TN - March 22, 2011 - Principal Michael Hughes announced today that Brighton Elementary School earned continu-ing accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI), an accreditation division of AdvancED. The action was rec-ommended after the AdvancED Accreditation Quality Assurance Review Team recently visited Brighton Elementary on March 5-9, 2011. Brighton Elementary has been accredited since 2000.

SACS CASI provides nationally-recognized accreditation, the pur-pose of which is continuous school improvement focused on increas-ing student performance. To earn

accreditation, schools must meet SACS CASI's high standards, be evaluated by a team of profes-sionals from outside the school, and implement a continuous process of school improvement. Accreditation is granted on a five-year term.

"Accreditation demonstrates to our students, parents, and com-munity that we are focused on raising student achievement, pro-viding a safe and enriching learn-ing environment and maintaining an efficient and effective operation staffed by highly qualified edu-cators," stated principal Michael Hughes.

SACS CAST accreditation is rec-ognized across state lines, which Dot only eases the transfer process

as students move from accredited school to accredited school but also assures parents that the school is meeting nationally accepted stan-dards for quality and successful professional practice.

Dr. Mark Elgart, President/CEO of AdvancED, the parent organiza-tion of SACS CASI, said, "SACS CASI Accreditation is a rigorous process that focuses the entire school on the primary goal of cre-ating lifelong learners. Brighton Elementary is to be commended for engaging in this process and demonstrating a commitment to continuous improvement."

Parents and interested com-munity members can learn more about accreditation. at www.advanc-ed.org.

BES continues accreditation

The season is still young, but the Munford baseball team has already made a statement with a pair of wins over two of the better programs in Shelby County.

Munford picked up a dramat-ic 9-8 win over perennial power Collierville Friday and took out Cordova last Tuesday 9-8.

Munford trailed Collierville 7-0 after two innings before rallying for three runs in the third, four in the sixth and finally two in the seventh to earn the win.

Cale Fultz earned the win for Munford in relief.

The Cougars used a similar blueprint against Cordova. After following behind 3-1 through five innings Munford scored three in the bottom of the fifth and one in the seventh to secure the win.

Munford also picked up a 10-0 win over Haywood last Wednesday in the Lewis Harris Memorial Tournament. Casey Crowe picked up the win for the Cougars and Stephen Stewart homered.

In other baseball action, Tipton Rosemark Academy picked up a couple of impressive wins.

On Monday the Rebels rode Andrew Ralston’s homerun to a 12-2 win over Millington.

Erik Seeing took advantage of 12 TRA hits to earn the win, holding

the Trojans to just four hits. TRA also beat Cordova 2-1

last Wednesday. Andrew Ralston earned the win for the Rebels and Cody Migliore picked up the save.

Two TRA runs in the third proved to be enough.

Munford picks up two big wins

The Brighton Lady Cardinals, as well as the other area softball teams, got the 2011 softball sea-son off to a good start last week.

Over the weekend Brighton went 6-1 in the Sarah Beth Whitehead tournament in Jackson, Tenn., to start off the sea-son with an 8-2 mark.

The team’s signa-ture win came Saturday with a 4-2 victory over perennial power Trinity Christian Academy.

Laura Judy scattered nine hits over seven innings, holding TCA scoreless until the sev-enth inning, and the Lady Cardinal offense took care of the rest.

Megan McDivitt homered for the Lady Cardinals and Caroline Jacobs, Laura Judy, Hadley Wilkins and Ali Christmas each had two hits for Brighton.

Brighton’s only loss came against McKenzie in a 2-1 setback.

Judy was the win-ning pitcher in Brighton wins against Hickman

County, Milan and USJ. Lulu Smith was the win-ning pitcher against Jackson North Side and Dyersburg and took the loss against Hickman County, despite just allowing three hits.

McDivitt picked up the win against Dyer County and Bree McBride hom-ered.

Smith was the winning pitcher in a 9-1 win over Haywood County on Monday

In other softball action, Munford went on the road Monday and over-whelmed Collierville,

11-0. Paige Barnes moved to

2-0 by limiting the Lady Dragons to five hits. Munford banged out 16 hits in the win.

Munford (4-1) also beat Arlington last week, 4-0. Barnes earned the win in that game as well.

T i p t o n - R o s e m a r k Academy also started the 2011 season in impressive fashion with a 3-1 win over Briarcrest Christian.

Roxanna Kimes held the Lady Saints to two hits to earn the win.

Coach Robert Luttrell’s Charger men’s soccer team has hit the pitch with a passion and a mis-sion for 2011. Win and do it often. So far, so good. CHS is 2-0-1 after three matches and is looking good. Here’s a re-cap of the first week.

Covington o p e n e d the season on March 15 with an 11-0 rout of new district member South Gibson High School. Senior team captain Phillip Van Cleve scored a double-double hat trick with 4 goals and 3 assists. Hunter Atkinson also pulled the hat trick with 3 goals. Rema Clay notched a pair of goals and Bobby Van Cleve and Skylar Davis scored a goal each.

The Chargers recorded

a school 1st defeating Haywood 2-1 on March 17 on Hunter Atkinson’s 1st half goals. Captain Phillip Van Cleve had assists on both scores. The Tomcats got their lone goal on a penalty kick late in the 2nd half.

CHS apparently had Obion County down for

the count on the home pitch on March 21 leading 2-1 with just 30 seconds remain ing but it was not to be. The Rebels’

best scorer got behind the Charger defense on a long punt from his goal-ie and put one past the CHS keeper 1 on 1 to tie the game at 2. It ended that way, as there is no tiebreaker in high school soccer. Covington had taken the lead on two 2nd half goals by Phillip Van Cleve after entering the half trailing 1-0.

Charger soccer off to a hot start

Lady Chargers have tough encore


It will be a tough act to follow. The 2011 Lady Charger softball team has big shoes to fill on the heels of the record setting season of their 2010 pre-decessors. Nonetheless, coach Martha Lawler seems to always put a quality product on the field. This year’s team will prove to be no less.

CHS opened the 2011 campaign with a 6-0 shutout of the Haywood Lady Tomcats on March 17. Autumn Glenn and Kaitlyn Ashburn led the hit parade with a pair apiece. Glenn was the winning pitcher allowing only 2 hits.

Covington moved on to the Sara Beth Whitehead tourney in Jackson March 18-19 where they went 3-0. They were unde-feated in pool play but suffered their 1st defeat of the year in bracket

play at the hand of Dyer County.

In the opening game CHS dropped South Gibson 7-0 on a no hitter from Gabby Glenn. She struck out 9 and walked 3. Glenn popped 2 hom-ers to aid her own cause. Sister Autumn added a single and a double in the win. In the 2nd pool game, Autumn Glenn got the win over Crockett Co. 12-0, allowing only 2 hits while striking out 2. Ryleigh Deverell, Jamie Hollingsworth and Hannah Clifton each had a pair of hits. Whitney Cook added a home run. In the final pool game, Briarcrest was the vic-tim, 5-0. Gabby Glenn got the win striking out 9 while allowing 6

Chargers ranked fifth in pre-season


Coach David Sage’s Charger baseball team starts the season with some lofty recognition from the state’s sports writers, a #5 pre-season ranking. Optimism is high in Charger Country for the 2011 squad as they look for a deep run into the state playoffs. How about a 3rd champion-ship banner?

After being rained out in the opener against a powerful CBHS squad, the Chargers took on the 3rd ranked AAA team in the state, the Arlington Tigers. The Tigers pre-vailed 4-1 with Will Cooley taking the loss. He went 6 innings allow-ing only 2 hits while recording 8 strikeouts. “ Will pitched a good game,” said Sage. “We have to learn to make the routine plays behind our pitcher to be success-ful.” The Chargers were tagged with 4 errors in

the game. Bobby bailey had a pair of doubles and an RBI. Tyler Davis and Blake Caughorn had a single each.

The Chargers played two games in the Lewis Harris Memorial Tournament in Memphis winning both. On March 16 CHS defeated Fayette Academy 14-4. Conner Faulk got the win. He pitched 5 innings allow-ing 4 runs (1 earned) while striking out 9. He gave up 3 hits and walked 6. Faulk added a pair of singles an RBI and scored 2 runs. Tyler Davis had a pair of sin-gles. Will Cooley and Dylan Schlauch singled

Dalton Millican continues his early season success by winning the 450A class, this past weekend at the second stop of the AMA ATV Motocross Championship Series in Pell City, AL.

Millican began Saturday with a bad gate pick in the 1st moto of the 450A class and finished the moto in the 4th position. “After I got 19th gate pick I knew I had my work cut out to get a good finish because of there was no way to get a good start from where I was on the start. I was very happy to get a 4th place finish. The Walsh suspension and the Custom Axis shocks were perfect. I was able to pass people through the whoop section like never before” Millican said.

Millican also competing in the Production A class

had the hole shot and the win in moto number one.

Millican, Overall Winner in 450A Pell City AL

Moto 2 of Production A found Millican again with the lead at the start which he held until the last lap where a busted radiator hose slowed him to a 3rd place finish in the moto and 2nd place overall in Production A for the weekend.

In moto 2 of the 450A Millican knew what had to be done to continue his winning streak and he did just that. Get a great start and win the race. Millican never trailed as he led from start to finish. “After losing the radiator hose in the Production A moto I was really fired up to go out and show everyone I could get the job done and we did. The bike was great the

Maximum Cycle motor was fast and I didn’t bust another radiator hose” Millican said. Millican again was the overall winner in 450A for the second event in a row.

Dalton would like to thank the following sponsors: Mark Pickens of MPE Motorsports, Parts Plus, Lucas Oil, Jeff Maxey of Maximum Cycle, Mike and Nate Walsh of Walsh Race Craft Joe Byrd Quad

had for several days has been a real joy, not to mention the 80-degree temperatures. Even with my big old black cata-ract sunglasses, I still got pleasure in its beauty. I finally got an opportu-nity to get some plants I had purchased a week ago in some pots and a few in the ground. I've still got to get my pansies in the ground and fin-ish cutting some smaller crepe myrtle branches. As we age, it just takes a little longer to get some things done. But I still love doing it.

Well, over the weekend we took in three grand-kids' ball games. I cannot wait until Addie starts hers. Saturday was so pretty. We purchased arti-ficial flowers and went

to all the cemeteries to put out spring flowers. I have family at Memorial Gardens on Poplar and other family at the Woodhaven Cemetery in Millington, and then to Salem Cemetery where Charlie's parents are bur-ied. So they are all ready for spring too.

Charlie finally got our lawn mower going the first of the week. I would give anything to be the first to cut the grass, but, due to my eye surgery, I have got to be a good girl and do what the doc said. It's so hard to be under orders. Hopefully, I've learned mine now.

Salem Presbyterian Church

Worship is at 11 a.m. each Sunday morning. Rec. Charles Todd is our minister. Everyone is always welcome. This Sunday night, March 27, the Senior High Youth will meet at the manse

at 5:30 for supper and Bible study. A memorial was given by to Salem Church by Catherine Malone in memory of Harold Wilson. Happy birthdays this week go to Charlotte Draffin, Sec Evans, Austin Willy and Jennifer Ridinger. I hope they are each the great-est!

Sharon Presbyterian Church

Worship is at 9 a.m. each Sunday morning. Rev. Charles Todd is the minister. We welcome members, friends and visitors to the fellowship of Sharon. Hope you will return. We are always grateful for our Dunlap residents who are able to be with us.

Covington Church of Christ

Worship is at 10:30 a.m. each Sunday morn-ing and again at 5:30 p.m. Sunday afternoons.

Bible study is at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday morn-ings and again at 7 p.m. on Wednesday evenings. Everyone is always welcome. Brother Mike Rogers is our minister and brother Jeff Phillips is our associate minis-ter. We are so blessed to have them both. I regret to inform you of our loss of a brother in Christ, brother Roy Randolph. Roy passed away last Friday and his burial was Monday. Please remem-ber these people in your prayers: Miss Judy, Amanda and Craig and all the grandchildren, especially Mallory as she stands by her mom. He had suffered a very long time and we all believe he was ready to go. Also, remember Mrs. Marlene Brown in the death of her sister, Mrs. Hazel Mooneyham. Also, please continue to remember our minister's mother, Mrs. Florence Robertson

as she is seriously ill at this time. Again, I ask you all to remember brother Kenneth Mason as he still is receiving new tests and medication for his cancer. Remember Miss Brenda as she sees about him. Thank you. Congratulations to Matt and Kristin Sallee on the birth of a daughter, Ryleigh Danielle. Tim and Ginger Sallee are the the proud new grandpar-ents and little Aiden is the proud new brother. Happy birthdays this week go to Chip Gordon, Faye Shankle, Mady Daniels, Rachel McLean, Drew Laxton and Larry Whaley II. Hope they are each the greatest! Happy anniversaries to Andrew and Whitney Conner, Ron and Gale Sutton and to Judy

and Shorty Dunaway. Congratulations to all of you.

In closing, I would like to thank the city's beautiful program for cleaning up our road. Trash had been there for several months and was getting as high as the road in some spots. It makes us not feel so ashamed of the road we live on. I wish people would be more consid-erate. I'm assuming it's mostly teens. But who really knows? Oh yes and I would like to thank Mrs. Louise Vandergrift for my cute joking 2011 Obama calendar. All you republicans would love it. Have a great week everyone.

Hello Readers,How beautiful our

spring is beginning. I suppose you could say spring has sprung! And the allergies have too. Pollen has begun to col-lect on my car, so yep it is in the air. I've noticed a lot of crepe myrtles haven't been pruned. Hey, Neal including ours! Better get on it before they start to leaf out. Now is a good time for those who are itching to get out in the yard to get your equip-ment serviced.

Our world is in such turmoil. Prophetically speaking, the Bible speaks of the world in this state during the last days before the second coming of Christ. We need to get ready for what ever hard times are ahead. We also need to pray for the world and the innocent children

who suffer from the deci-sions of others. World tragedies like Japan are going to be part of the destruction of our earth as we know it.

My youngest grand-son, Riggs, just had his fourth birthday. It seems impossible that he could be four already. The twins are doing well and they are two months now too. As far as I know at this moment, all the other children are well and happy. The stomach bug has long passed through our family so hopefully it won't visit us again for a long time.

Last weekend the girls and I went to the Southern Women show. My mother used to go every year. So now which ever daughters are able go head out with me to the show. And we have a blast. One of the things we really got a hoot out of was the exercise hoops. They are not just any hoops! Not the ones we had as kids but heavier

ones with water. Neat I'd say! The set comes with ones for your arms and legs too. I think Hannah Mae did better than any of us on balancing them and keeping them roll-ing. We'll have to let you know how they work out.

Talking about work-ing out! OMG. Jessica Hicks has been really working hard at the gym and is looking great! She, April Walk, and Lindsey Wilson have all been working hard. I think they have a vacation planned to Florida this summer. They will be the bomb on the beach!

The BHS band had their Brighton Fest and Car Show last weekend. From the crowd at the school it must have been a good one. They will surely need this fund-raiser to succeed because I believe this next year will be their biggest enrollment for march-ing band. The football strawberries fundraiser

went well and they will be selling Easter hams and butts soon. Kenny Campbell will be doing the cooking.

Hope all of you have a great weekend. Get out-side and get a dose of vitamin D, it will do you good. Love ya, Debe

Baby Chicks Are HERE!

Hello from Burlison,Have you heard about the ghost cit-

ies in China? Well I hadn’t until a few days ago. My wife, Paula was on the computer and told me to check this out. Now I’m not talking about ghost cities and towns like you see in west-erns where there’s a sherriff’s office, jail, general store, boarding house and saloon. These cities are built in the des-ert and consist of sky scrapers, apart-ment buildings, and metro domes. The Chinese are busy building new cities as their real estate market explodes. There is just one problem. These cities are virtually uninhabited. The cities are being built to create an explod-ing housing market, wherein investors and developers are making it look as if there’s a large market, but in reality it seems to be an illusion as this real estate is not being sold. The estimation is that China now has 64 million vacant homes in these ghost cities and are building up to 20 new cities per year on the country’s “vast swathes of free land." It is speculated that the Chinese need to put their money somewhere, so developers have decided to build these cities as a place to store the wealth, even if the Chinese building these cities do not intend to live in them and there is no prospect they can find renters or buyers.

Imagine brand new cities being built that no one lives in. Don’t you suppose there has to be a Chinese family or two living in a hut that would like to live in one of those brand new high rise apart-

ments? And what is the end plan for building these cities? China’s unem-ployment rate for 2010 was reported to be 4.6%. Maybe China is building cities just to let them sit for a number of years and then create a new industry to tear them down? Lower unemploy-ment numbers, stimulate the economy and fatten China’s pocket books? Just a thought!

Who knows how much of the money used to build these uninhabited cities are coming out of American’s pockets? We all know that we are highly in debt to China, which is paid by our tax dollars. I’ve read that debt is around $ 2.5 Trillion. That’s trillion with a capital "T." Some of the debt is for the stimulus packages passed by our gov-ernment. Did the little bit of stimulus money that came into your household do any good? It didn’t at my house. Now we, our children and our chil-dren’s children will be paying it back for years to come.

And now the United States is par-ticipating in military air strikes against the cruel dictator of another middle eastern country. I know there will be many opinions on this, but do you ever wonder how much further American tax dollars can be stretched, not to mention our military? These days it’s difficult to fill up your gas tanks and provide food for your family.

I hope you have a wonderful week and thank you for reading. If you have any information for future articles please call me at 476-2683 or email me at [email protected].

Hello everyone!I trust all of you are doing well

and are enjoying this beautiful weather! We are too. We have the doors open and windows and everything else we can find that opens so that good fresh air comes in and slows away all those germs that have been floating around.

Let me go ahead and tell you all the date of our “Springfest.” It will be held on May 24 from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. We are working on all the details now and I will let you know more as time goes on! But for now, please mark your calendar for a fun-filled

day here at Dunlap Retirement Center. We plan to have all the fun things plus maybe a few sur-prises! So stay tuned. One thing I ask of you ladies that read my column (and men as far as that goes), if you read my column each week would you please consider baking a cake for the “Cake Auction.” That would be awesome! It doesn't have to be anything fancy, just a 9” x 13” cake or whatever you would be willing to make and bring over that morning between 10 and 11 o'clock. I would be so apprecia-tive if my readers would give their support!

My new maintenance man has sure got this place looking good! Because we did not have a lawnmower all last fall, the leaves are still all over the place so he's having to rake and burn them. So if there is anyone out there that would like to come

and volunteer some community service, this is the place you can do that. We haven't had the youth groups come in this year like usual. I guess every-one is just too busy! We all have lives that are just too busy, huh? Seems like it never used to be that way. But it's really gotten to that point! Sometimes I meet myself coming back!

We are very sad to lose Ms. Tricky Hoffman from our Dunlap family. Ms. Tricky had to go to a high level of care. You will be truly missed Ms. Tricky. You have been an inspiration to all of us! Your smiling face brightens any room at anytime! But we send you our love and prayers.

The past several weeks, we have had trouble getting my notes in, so here's hoping they get in this week. I guess they have been getting lost in cyber-

space for the last four or five weeks, but we got 'em in last week.

Everyone don't forget we have some rooms here at Dunlap for the aged, the folks who can no longer live by themselves but do not need a nursing home or assisted living facilities. Here, we cook three meals a day, do your laundry, clean your room and assist with your medica-tion. So if you know of anyone who is in need of this type of facility, please have them con-tact me at 476-7014. I would live to talk with them and set up a tour of our facility.

Until next week, God bless you all and don't forget to give somebody a big hug and tell them you love them. You never know what impact a hug can have on a person, especially a lonely person. We're all God's children!

It's a warm sunny Tuesday morning at Mt. Carmel. The high was 80 today, about like it was yesterday. Had to get the short sleeves out but it's gonna be 59 degrees next Monday. Spring in Tennessee!

I got my new vanity top installed last Tuesday by no other than Charlie Brown! No, really; that was his name! That after-noon Helen and Michael Moore came and picked out a pup - the cute gray and black one. We have two solid black pups left and I wish someone would help us out!

I kept Lyla Thursday, never got her to take a nap and she was worn out. I think Liz got her to sleep before she left for work. Saturday the three of us strolled around town and did some shop-ping. Lyla was 11 months old on Sunday and she wore a new lavender dress we got Saturday and looked so pretty!

Friday morning I took my dad, Kenneth Weir, to the Treasure Hunters at the Holiday Inn and he sold his coin collec-tion. I bet he got the big-gest check they wrote that day! He was happy with it.

That night Cammy

Evans and I ate sup-per and drove to Atoka to see Red Riding Hood. Very unusual movie but it would have to be, making a movie out of that fairy tale! Very, very big twist at the end! See it but know it's not for little children. The fairy tale was scary enough to me when I was young. Seeing it was even scar-ier!

I went out to see that "Full Worm Moon" Saturday night. It was 14% bigger than usual and very bright. Channel 3's Austin Onek called it that also, but didn't explain why. It was a pretty sight though!

We were saddened at church on Sunday because of al the bad news. Our dear brother Roy Randolph passed away on Friday and we learned that Hazel Mooneyham, sister of Marlene Brown, had died, as well as my Leader boss years ago, Joyce Marbry. Tanner Mason was there with his parents, Ken and Susan, to see his grandparents, Kenneth and Brenda, before he shipped out today. My thoughts and prayers go out to all these and their families. It was a rough Sunday morning.

Little Ryleigh Danielle Sallee remains in the hos-pital but she is doing all right. She was born on March 11 and weighed four pounds, four ounces and was 17 inches long.

Parents Matt and Kristin go every day to see her. Hope she's home soon to see grandparents Tim and Ginger, and big brother Aiden! Congrats!

Jenni Langston remains on our prayer list, as does Larry Whaley II, Kenneth Mason and so many oth-ers. Former member of our congregation, John Montgomery, is having surgery today and is in our prayers.

I went to the Bake Sale for Little Lucy Krull Saturday. Hope they did well on that and the car-wash. That family contin-ues in my daily prayers. I reconsidered my count on the "Lucy" bows and the American flags in the county. Lucy wins!

I have one of the Go Lucy Go decals on my car. You can get that at Mary Gaither's office, where you renew your car tags! $5 and four of it goes to the Krull family.

The Birthday Party at Covington Care will be on March 26 at 2:30 p.m. Our Fellowship Supper this month will be on March 27th and will be "International Cuisine" night. Our favorite inter-national/foreign foods!

Happy Birthday this week goes to Chip Gordon on March 20, to Faye Shankle on the 22nd, to Mandy Billings, Rachel McLean and Shanna McLean on the 25th and to Drew Laxton and Larry Whaley II on the 26th!

Happy Anniversary to Andrew and Whitney Conner and to Ron and Gale Sutton on March 21st, and to Shorty and Judy Dunaway on the 22nd!

A special Happy Birthday goes to the Queen of Mt. Carmel, Catherine McCalla, on March 20! I went to see her yesterday but she was out gallavanting - gone to a garden club! Sorry I missed her but

PET OF THE WEEKSweet little Sassafras (Sassy for short) was just rescued from the Covington City Pound by C.A.R.E. She was found wander-ing the city and no one came to claim her. She is a shepherd/fiest mix. She is about 25 pounds. She has been spayed,has her rabies shot, fecal checked,dewormed and 7-1 shot prior to adoption. She has also had a heartworm test and she is negative! She is a friendly girl that gets along well

with other dogs. We believe that she has been a house dog as she prefers the indoors. She rides well in the car and jumps right in. She loves to sit on your lap and be petted. Her adoption fee is $125.00. If interested in adopting Sassafras please contact us at www.cov-ingtonanimalrescueeffort.com and follow the adoption application process. Thank you for looking to adopt a rescue dog!SPONSORED BY:

This week's Farm Report: Winter

Wheat is looking good. The warm weather has the farmers antsy. Have seen some fertilizer being put down and spraying may start soon. Maybe just one more cold snap next week and some corn can be planted. Can't wait to see crops coming up!

This week's Farmer's Almanac Timely Quote: "Before planting, put pieces of banana peel in the

hole. They will provide potassium and phosphorus for the plant."

Now how many bananas do we need per acre . . . ?

"Thanks for Reading" this week goes to Shirley Max! Sa-lute!

It's Spring! And it's been a beau-tiful one. I never realize how many beautiful trees we have in the county till they all bloom.

Until next week . . .

I have worn this little green braclet on my right arm for one month today, Tuesday. It says "warn-ing: Gas bubble in eye". This was put on after after my surgery for the hole in my right eye...I had to wear this in case I had an accident, and had to go to the hospital. Well, I finally get to take it off tomorrow (Wed.).

My eye surgery has

has finally gotten bet-ter. For about two weeks, I had to wear a patch on my right eye. I could not see.

Then there developed a big black spot in my eye. It was light black in color with a black rim around it. I could not see it in the mirrror but it was in my eye for a week or so. Then it finally cleared up.

My left eye, I had the surgery in December, it was no problem. They did not put the gas bub-ble in it. So it healed up

pretty fast. Thanks to the good surgeons that did the operation.

Randolph United Methodist Church. We had a great turn out for the memorial ser-vice (Arvus Flercher) at church last Sunday. We had a church full of peo-ple. A stained glass pit-cure has been installed behind the choir loft. This is a memorial to Arvis. It matches the stained glass windows that light up our sanctuary. We had a pot luck meal after the service. It was really a

feast. We had so much food.

Flooding: We were down at Tunica Lake this past week and the water is really up. It was so high we could not even get to our street.

Prayers for: Patra Ballard, Lois Conger, Edna Downing, John Downing, Charlene Lott, Paula Hathcock (in the hospital), Zadie Pugh, Mildred Wiseman, Evelyn Griffin, Dale Ferguson.

Love & Prayers.

Education

Dyersburg, TN – Sheri Hobson of Munford is an excellent student. She attends the DSCC Jimmy Naifeh Center at Tipton County and is majoring in General Studies. Even with the single parent-ing challenges of raising five children, she holds a 4.0 grade point average. Hobson chose to attend Dyersburg State to con-tinue her education. She hopes that this will lead to a higher paying job which will allow her to better support her fam-ily.

As one of the Tipton County scholarship fund recipients, Hobson told her story of struggle and success to members of the Dyersburg State Community College Foundation Board at

their March 3 meeting at the Naifeh Center. To meet the needs of stu-dents like Hobson, the DSCC Foundation is working to increase its Endowment Fund from its current value $4.3 mil-lion to $10 million.

To raise the $5.7 needed to complete the endowment, the Foundation is mounting a “Leaving a Legacy” fund-raising campaign. This campaign asks peo-ple to include a dona-tion to Dyersburg State. Currently, 22 Foundation Board members are mak-ing a “Leaving a Legacy” gift.

Attending the meet-ing were: Jeff Agee, Leaving a Legacy cam-paign chair; Linda Baker; Bill Boehmler; Skipper

Bondurant; Dr. Karen Bowyer, DSCC President; Walt Bradshaw; Martha Brasfield; Billy Brooks; Thomas Cheairs; Billy Cloar; Dr. Loren Crown; H.T. Davis; Joe Emery; John Ford; Barry Frazier; Joe Griggs; Michael Harris; David Hayes, Foundation Board chair; Joey Hays; Bud Hoffmann; Charlotte Kelley; Tina Morris; Paul Rose; Joe Ward; John Weedman; Katie Winchester; Bill Woods; and Jim Wyatt.

The DSCC Foundation is a non-profit corpora-tion that promotes and supports the purpos-es of Dyersburg State Community College through financial and other means. It was established in 1988.

Hobson presents to DSCC Foundation

Brighton and Tipton County residents now have a new choice for their television and communications services powered by advanced technology. AT&T* today announced the launch of AT&T U-verse® ser-vices in parts of Brighton and Tipton County, includ-ing AT&T U-verse TV, AT&T U-verse High Speed Internet and AT&T U-verse Voice. The introduction of these new services in Brighton is part of an ongo-ing expansion of AT&T U-verse availability. AT&T U-verse launched in Tennessee in December 2008.

“Additional choices and competition is great news for the citizens of Tipton County,” said Speaker Emeritus Jimmy Naifeh. “The introduction of these new services gives us new innovations for enjoy-ing TV and Internet access when so many cities and towns are competing for new technology invest-ments.”

AT&T U-verse services, which are all delivered over AT&T’s advanced Internet Protocol (IP) network, offer a new alternative to cable with a better DVR, better features and apps, and a better TV experience. AT&T U-verse brings together your TV, broadband, home phone and AT&T wireless services — all on one bill — with unique features that provide a new level of integration, convenience and control.

Now AT&T U-verse TV ranks “Highest in Residential Television Service Satisfaction in the South, Three Years in a Row,” according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2008-2010 Residential Television Service Satisfaction StudiesSM.

“This is great news for the citizens of Brighton,” said Mayor Jeff Huffman. “The expansion of AT&T U-verse also supports economic growth and consum-ers in the Brighton area will now have the choice they’ve been waiting for.”

AT&T U-verse is being expanded in Tennessee thanks to The Competitive Cable and Video Services Act of 2008, HB 1421. The law provides an environ-ment that encourages new video providers, such as AT&T Tennessee, to invest in Tennessee to compete against incumbent cable providers.

“I’ve believed for some time now that our collec-tive success is tied to having access to leading edge technologies that can keep us connected,” said Tipton

County Mayor Jeff Scott. “This is a real plus to have this kind of investment coming to our community to make next-generation broadband and video services a reality.”

“Tipton County is continuing to grow and compete for investment and jobs thanks to the leadership shown by Speaker Emeritus Jimmy Naifeh,” said Rosemary Bridges, president, South Tipton Chamber of Commerce. “His work through public policy is creating an environment that attracts investment and encourages innovation to make Tipton County stron-ger and more prosperous.”

More Choice, Advanced FeaturesAT&T U-verse TV is the only 100 percent Internet

Protocol-based television (IPTV) service offered by a national service provider, making AT&T U-verse one of the most dynamic and application-rich services available today, with advanced capabilities that cus-tomers don’t get from other providers.

Where AT&T U-verse services are available, U-verse TV customers can enjoy numerous features and appli-cations, including the ability to manage your record-ings, and download and watch hit TV shows from your qualifying smartphone with U-verse Mobile; the freedom to manage and playback your recorded programs from a single DVR on any U-verse con-nected TV in the house with Total Home DVR; the ability to choose and watch up to four of your favorite channels at one time with the exclusive My Multiview app; an extensive High Definition (HD) channel lineup with access to up to 155 HD channels; the ability to program DVR recordings from your Web-connected mobile phone or PC; personalized, on-screen weather, sports, traffic and stock informa-tion via AT&T U-bar; the ability to check the current weather conditions and forecasts in any U.S. city with Weather On Demand; and more.

With AT&T U-verse High Speed Internet services, every AT&T U-verse customer or small business broadband user can enjoy faster available speeds. Packages include a range of speeds, with the fastest downstream speeds up to 24 Mbps. All AT&T U-verse High Speed Internet packages include wireless home or office networking capability at no extra cost.

“We’re excited to bring more choice and com-petition to Tipton County,” said Jim Thorpe, vice president and general manager, AT&T Consumer & Mobility Markets –Tennessee and Kentucky. “We know customers want a better choice to break free from cable, and AT&T U-verse is the answer. And

we’ll continue to make U-verse TV even better for customers with regular upgrades and new cool appli-cations that enhance their TV experience.”

AT&T U-verse Voice is a managed IP-based service that is delivered over AT&T’s fiber-rich network. This allows U-verse Voice customers to enjoy great sound quality and reliability, as well as unmatched calling features that integrate with your AT&T U-verse TV, high speed internet and AT&T wireless services. Customers can benefit from a single, combined voice mailbox for AT&T U-verse Voice and AT&T wireless messages; an online portal to manage your call pref-erences and settings from any PC; an online voice mailbox; the ability to view your incoming calls and voicemail notifications on your TV with Caller ID on TV; the ability to view your Call History on your TV and initiate a call from your PC or TV using Click to Call; and more. All U-verse Voice customers have 911 service.

“The Tennessee General Assembly had the fore-sight to open Tennessee’s video services marketplace to competition, and it is benefiting consumers,” said Chuck Thomas, regional director, external affairs, AT&T Tennessee. “We are glad to be able to make these investments in Brighton and Tipton County.”

AT&T U-verse offers multiple combinations of TV, Internet and Voice packages to customize your expe-rience. Standard professional installation is included in most packages, and you also get a 30-day money-back guarantee. Additional promotional offers may be available to qualifying customers who bundle U-verse Internet or U-verse Voice service.

They also have the opportunity to utilize a personal online recipe box to save recipes, compile grocery lists and plan meals. In addi-tion, members can create and join discussion groups to chat about recipes, share cooking tips and build relationships as if they are sitting around one big kitchen table.

“We continually add new features to the club based on the feedback of our members,” says Just A Pinch Food

Editor Janet Tharpe. “It’s because of people like Mary Pinner, who is proud to share her family’s favorite recipes with other hometown cooks, that the club has become so popular and is growing so fast.”

Pinner’s Simple Coconut Cake recipe, along with thousands of others, can be viewed, printed and shared at no charge through the recipe club. “This is my son Michael’s favorite cake,” says Pinner.

Founded in 2010, Just A Pinch Recipe Club offers free mem-berships and premium perks. Join us in the kitchen at www.justapinch.com.

Discount retailer celebrates relocation with grand opening

GOODLETTSVILLE, Tenn.– Dollar General continues to make shopping easier and more convenient for cus-tomers in Covington. Dollar General is pleased to announce the opening of its new store at 960 Highway 51. The grand opening of the new store is scheduled to begin Saturday, March 26 at 8 a.m.

At the grand opening event, custom-ers will enjoy special deals and free prizes. The first 50 shoppers at the store will receive a $10 Dollar General gift card and the first 200 shoppers will receive a Dollar General tote bag, among other giveaways.

The new store will provide custom-ers with the same value and conve-nience they have come to rely on, just in a different location. The new store will employ six to 10 people.

“Dollar General is committed to deliv-ering a pleasant shopping experience that includes a convenient location, a well-edited assortment of merchan-dise, great prices and an updated store design,” said Gayle Aertker, Dollar General’s senior vice president of real estate and store development. “We hope our Covington customers will continue to enjoy shopping at Dollar General’s new location.”

Dollar General’s new location fea-tures a fresh layout, designed to make shopping easier and simpler for cus-tomers. Some of the store’s new fea-tures include seasonal products fea-tured in the center of the store, easily recognizable departments with visible signage and coolers that are more con-veniently located at the front of the store.

Dollar General stores offer conve-nience and value to customers by pro-viding a focused selection of national brands and private brands of food, housewares, seasonal items, cleaning supplies, basic apparel and health and beauty care products.

Dollar General gives its customers more than everyday low prices on basic merchandise. Dollar General is deeply involved in the communities it serves and is an ardent supporter of literacy and education. At the cash register of every Dollar General store, customers interested in learning how to read, speak English or get their General Education Diploma (GED) can pick up a brochure with a postage-paid reply card that can be mailed in for a referral to a local organization that offers free literacy services. In 1993, the company founded the Dollar General Literacy Foundation, which has award-ed more than $50 million in grants to nonprofit organizations, helping more than 2.8 million individuals take their first steps toward literacy or continued education. For more information about the Dollar General Literacy Foundation and its grant programs, visit www.dol-largeneral.com.

BUSINESS

By SHERRI ONORATISpecial to The Leader

A new roof and a much needed fire truck was the topic of discussion at the most recent City of Covington Finance and Administration Committee meet-ing held at City Hall on Mar. 15.

First before the committee was a request from the Boys & Girls Club of the Hatchie River Region (BGCHRR) board of directors asking the City of Covington to contribute $100,000 towards repairing the roof and HVAC system of the Frazier Gym building, the location of the newly established club. The BGCHRR has partnered with Children & Family Services (CFS) to share the Frazier school facilities and much needed repairs are necessary to accommodate the additional use.

In a letter to the mayor, BGCHRR’s board of directors explained CFS is eligible for a $461,000 grant from USDA to complete renovations of the facility but some repairs must be made prior to receiving the grant. The necessary repairs are anticipated to cost $133,000 of which the organiza-tion has $31,000 on hand. The build-ing is owned by the City of Covington and the city will benefit from approxi-mately $600,000 in repairs in exchange for its $100,000 investment.

Citing that it is in the best inter-est of the City of Covington and its residents, the motion was made and carried to approve the request of the Boys & Girls Club Hatchie

River Region board of directors for the $100,000 for the roof and HVAC repairs and that Covington’s 2010-2011 budget be amended to reflect this change.

Next, Fire Chief Jerry Craig present-ed to the committee that the fire truck purchased with Outside Fire Service Charges is unreliable and a replace-ment is needed. Craig explained to the committee to help offset the esti-mated $275-325,000 cost of a new truck, he has received a bid of $80,000 for the old one.

A motion was made and carried to refer the matter to the General Welfare-Public Safety Committee for further study and recommendations on the purchase of a new fire truck. A motion was made and passed to authorize the sale of the old fire truck for at least $80,000.

Mrs. Fran Kidwell presented a peti-tion to the committee to have the speed limit on Highway 59 East reduced to 45 mph. The Tennessee Department of Transportation requires a Traffic Safety Study before the speed limit can be changed. Upon completion oft he study they will make a recommenda-tion to the Finance & Administration Committee.

Also before the committee was a motion made by Alderman Tommy Black who proposed the City set up a recycling program to collect surplus keys and sell to scrap dealers with the funds benefiting city programs. The motion passed.

By MICHAEL DULANEYSpecial to The Leader

The evening of February 12th was a big night for some local Boy Scouts and their leaders. The West Tennessee Area Council held their annual “Gathering of Eagles” at the Council’s award banquet. Along with recognizing 15 Tipton county Scouts for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout in 2010, awards were presented to some of the Scout leaders in the county.

Al Cresanto and Joe Willis were awarded the Silver Beaver award for their outstanding contributions to Scouting in West Tennessee. This is the council-level distinguished service award of the Boy Scouts of America. Recipients of this award are registered adult leaders who have made an impact on the lives of youth through service given to the council. The Silver Beaver is an award given to those who implement the Scouting program and perform community service through hard work, self sacrifice, dedication, and many years of service. It is given to those who do not actively seek it.

Al Cresanto has been working with Scouting since 1999 as an Assistant Den Leader in Cub Scout Pack 66 in Munford. He later joined Troop 66 as

an Assistant Scoutmaster then Scoutmaster for 6 years. He has served on the Big Hatchie District Committee, district training team, council training team, and on Wood Badge adult leader training. He has twice attended the Philmont National Center in Cimarron, NM for volunteer adult leader training. Most recently he served as Assistant Scoutmaster for the West Tennessee Area Council’s National Jamboree troop in 2010. The Jamboree was held at Fort AP Hill, VA with approximately 50,000 Scouts in attendance.

Joe Willis has served as an Assistant Cubmaster and Cubmaster of Pack 66 in Munford. In 2006 he transitioned with his son Cody to Troop 66 where he took on the positions of Assistant Scoutmaster and Patrol Advisor. He is also serving as a Unit Commissioner for Big Hatchie District and Associate Advisor for Venture Crew 1420 in Covington. Joe has served many years as the Aquatics Director at Camp Mack Morris in Camden, as District Cub Scout Day Camp Director and on staff for the National Youth Leadership Training Course for 2007. Outside of Scouting, he has been a coach at the Special Olympics in both golf and swimming.
