Deputy shoots, kills Munford man Sheriff said man wielded knife, refused commands to disarm

MUNFORD – A suicidal man was shot and killed by a deputy Tuesday after ignoring the officer’s commands to drop his weapon, the Tipton County Sheriff said Tuesday. At approximately 4:21 p.m. deputies were dispatched to the 3300 block of Marshall Road in Munford after receiving reports of an armed suicidal party at the residence. The male subject, later identified as Richard Jeffrey Rykiel, 51, reportedly came out of the

house wielding a knife and acting in an aggressive manner toward the deputy. The deputy, who has not been identified by authorities, told Rykiel to put his knife down, however he refused several times, said Sheriff Pancho Chumley. “He was acting in an aggressive way towards the deputy and wouldn’t put the knife down,” he said. “The deputy drew his weapon, fired it and struck the subject.” At one point the deputy,

sounding distressed, radioed for another car, a commotion taking place in the background. Medical personnel was immediately summoned to the scene and attempted to resuscitate Rykiel. He was pronounced dead by the Tipton County Medical Examiner a short time later. No officers were injured during the incident. “Law enforcement is a dangerous job and the unknown looms around the corner on every call

we make,” Chumley said. “It is always a tragedy when a human being loses their life. I am just grateful that my deputy was not injured in this incident.” As is protocol, the Tennessee Department of Investigation was called to investigate the officer-involved shooting. “TBI will investigate the incident and gather all pertinent facts and evidence and turn the case file over to the District Attorney General upon compleSEE DEPUTY, PAGE A3

Juveniles charged in pavilion fire By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com ATOKA – Police say two 12-year-old girls are responsible for a fire that damaged a pavilion at Walker Park last week. Early Thursday, June 7, crews responded to the park after a neighboring resident reported smelling smoke. Reports indicate a fire was started in the bathroom at the park’s pavilion, damaging the two-year-old wooden structure. Additionally, both girls and a third girl are also being held responsible for vandalism done to portable toilets set up at the park following Thursday's fire. Atoka Police Chief Jessie Poole said he suspected juveniles, but not 12-year-olds. "I was very surprised as their age, at how young they were," he said. Police knew the fire was set purposefully and worked for several days to solve the case. And while certain details cannot

Welcoming a survivor back By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com ATOKA – Sonya Morrison had only heard about the truck once, and never dreamed she'd see it in person. Thanks to her co-workers at First State Bank, though, the Pink Heals fire truck made its first-ever visit to Tipton County Monday morning to help welcome her back to work after a lengthy battle with breast cancer. "This was a total surprise," Sonya said. "I had no idea!" After a breakfast reception and a gift, Sonya was getting back into the groove of working when her cousin and co-worker, Deborah Lane, told her to come downstairs. "She said, 'Come downstairs! There's somebody I want you to meet!' My kids were running and I felt like I was going to meet Santa Claus. Then I got down here and there are all of these sirens. I wanted to cry." Sonya was diagnosed with breast cancer in October and began treatment in December. Chemotherapy was difficult for her after sepsis delayed her last treatment. But the mother of two is doing much better, she said, and her doctors are optimistic about her future, so she trying to get back to life as it once was. Her co-workers wanted to help celebrate her return.

By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com MASON – After voting on June 4 not to accept the Tipton County Emergency Communications District’s request for an increase in Mason’s annual E911 user fees, the aldermen of Mason have had a change of heart. On Monday, TCECD director Renee Downing and 911 Board chairman Jim Harger attended the town’s monthly board of mayor and

aldermen on Monday to explain the purpose and necessity of the 911 fee increase. After the discussion, the aldermen voted 4-1 in favor of paying the asked increase. Mason will pay an additional $2,000, or $6,280, for fiscal year 2012-2013 and the other $2,000 during FY 2013-2014, bringing their annual contribution to $8,280. “My position was we needed to pay our share,” said Mason Mayor David Ward. “We had a good meet-

ing and I think having both people showing a presence made a difference in helping the board members to understand the reason for the request.” Alderman Mike Harris was the lone nay vote. “I asked what was the calls per hour and they really couldn’t tell me that,” said Harris. “And they also explained that its not just 911 but it’s a dispatch for the whole county but regardless of how they do it, we’re being tripled taxed to fund it.

Last Saturday’s Republican forum for candidates for Tennessee’s District 81 House seat featured three of the four Republican candidates and the lack of participation from the fourth has Tipton County Republicans talking. When the attending candidates – Rory Bricco, Randy McKee and Terry Mullins – were introduced, forum moderator Michael Berkeley told those in attendance that Debra Moody declined to be a part of the evening’s event. According to Debra Rhodes, the party’s acting chairman, the Tipton County Republican Party had been trying to schedule a public forum for the past several weeks. The first date was originally scheduled for Memorial Day weekend but was changed when candidate McKee voiced he had a conflict with that date. The date was then rescheduled for June 2. When each of the candidates was asked if they were available during that day, the three gentlemen confirmed they were but according to Lisa Keith, the event coordinator for the Republican Party, Moody said she had a prior engagement on that date, so the forum was rescheduled again for Saturday, June 9 to give her the opportunity to attend. “Someone from the Moody campaign said any other date in June would be good,� said Keith. “But when I talked to Debra a couple of days later, she said she had something pending and if she could attend she would but that she

didn’t want to hold up the forum.� When introduced to the crowd, the candidates each gave a brief introduction, sharing a bit about their lives and all expressed their gratitude for being given the opportunity to share their views with the public. “For 29 years I have

now we have to make right the wrongs of career politicians.� During the approximately 90 minute forum, eight questions were asked, with each candidate given the opportunity to state his stance on the issue. The first question asked the candidate about their stance on the pro-life versus prochoice agenda. Each of the candidates stated their views on the issue and, not surprisingly, they were the same. “I would not vote for or sanction the killing of the innocent,� stated “The Brick� Bricco. “It’s wrong on every front and I will do everything in my power to see that it is stopped here in Tennessee.� “I would be against any legislation that supports abortion,� said McKee. “Do not punish the child – the unborn fetus – for the acts of the adult.� Mullins referred to the Bible, stating, “Our God almighty is the only one that can create life and finish life on earth. We can not play God, not at birth, not during life and not at old age.� Another question asked whether the candidates felt the government over regulated the Second Amendment. “The purpose of the Second Amendment to protect the rights of the citizens to bear arms,� answered “Mac� McKee. “Other than the amendment process that the founding fathers placed in the Constitution, I don’t believe the Consti-

tution is a living document that can be interpreted, revised or made to fit what you want it to be.� Mullins read the Second Amendment and then quoted Thomas Jefferson. “I was in the militia,� said the 26-year Navy veteran. “I want to carry arms.� “That right was given to us primarily of the potential need to protect ourselves against our own government,� added Bricco. The seemingly most controversial question was the candidates’ stance on same sex marriage and the president’s recent statement in support of the issue. “I refer you to history,� started Bricco. “It is written when a nation, an empire, a great civilization engages primarily in three practices, one, the killing of innocents; two, the promotion of sexual promiscuity, specifically the practice of homosexuality and the creation of a huge class of people dependent on the government, history has said when you promote these three practices, you will fail! What is grievous is our president is the cheerleader on all three fronts – cheering us down the road to destruction.� McKee told the audience he completely agreed with Bricco. “I believe marriage is between a man and a woman and some of the recent acts of the President and his administration has disturbed me,� he said. “The military is being torn from the

inside out because of gay rights and gay marriage. This is the worst possible time in our history to push this down the military’s throat. I don’t believe that because you choose a certain lifestyle that special consideration should be given to you.� Mullins again referred to the Bible. “It’s biblical that marriage is between a man and a woman.� Those in attendance at the forum, held in the community room at Trust Bank in Brighton, said the event was wellpresented and each of the attending candidates fully participated. “We have three good candidates with similar good backgrounds,� said Tipton County attorney Jeff Ward. “Any one of them would be a strong candidate for consideration.� When questioned about her non-attendance, Moody hesitantly denied that the date of the event was changed to accommodate her schedule. “No, the date was not changed to accommodate me,� said Moody. “I had a conflict in my campaign schedule.� When asked whether that conflict was a bridal shower, as suggested in a letter to the editor in this edition, Moody admitted that she was at a bridal shower for part of the afternoon. “Can you tell me where you heard that?� asked Moody. “The party doesn’t run the campaign and I appreciated the invitation. I al-

ready had a conflict and when you have a conflict you have to make priorities and see where the best place to spend your time is. I gave it consideration and my team and I decided that where I was Saturday was where I needed to be; that this was the best place to be.� “We knew by May 24 she would be unable to attend and I was told we’re not changing the date again,� wrote Keith in a Facebook post, Tuesday night. “It was no surprise. No candidate is obligated to attend an event just because the Tipton County Republican Party is hosting it.� Moody said she would not rule out speaking at future events but her attendance would be dependent upon her schedule and other stipulations. “I would not commit to anything until I knew the dates and the rules and all the things that go into that schedule,� said Moody. “I spoke at We the People and I plan to be at the South Tipton Chamber Event.� “It’s alright with me that she didn’t show,� said Rhodes. “We had a really great forum anyway.� The chambers of Tipton County are hosting a Meet the Candidate forum on Tuesday, June 19 at 6:30 p.m. at Brighton Middle School. Other candidates for the District 81 House seat include Conneye T. Albright (D) of Drummonds and Tommy Hill (I) of Brighton.

Pink Heals Memphis (www.pinkhealsmemphis. com) is part of a national organization and its members, who are all volunteers, participate in a nationwide tour with the trademark pink fire trucks. "We wear pink because it's the color you put on a baby girl, it's your color, so we want to show the women in our lives that by wearing your color, we're supporting you, giving you the love and hope. And we as men reap back ten-fold." When the truck – which

made its debut at a Memphis Redbirds game on Mother's Day and has traveled around West Tennessee – arrives at its destination, people are encouraged to sign it. "Every name that's on this truck is a survivor or in memory of someone," Scott said. "And that's what this truck is for, to bring awareness." Sonya first heard about the trucks months ago, but said she never dreamed she'd see one, much less one that traveled just to visit her. Scott said this is a day that Sonya will likely

never forget. "She didn't know if she would make it back to work and that's why we're here," he said. "It's about the people." "I just can't believe that they drove this truck here for me," she said. "I'm glad I get to sign it instead of someone signing it for me. It could have very easily been different. I could cry, I'm so happy." In addition to the pink truck and conference room decorated in pink, her co-workers all wore pink shirts in her honor.

"And with the cooperation of the parents, it helped solve this." The pavilion was erected in 2010 as part of the Walker Park project, funded by federal grant.

Continued from A1 I would like to think there are other ways to pay for it then hitting us with more taxes.â€? Harris said he is concerned because the size of Mason doesn’t give them the revenue to pay for an increase every year. “It’s increasing this year by $2,000, next year another $2,000. I asked them if it will increase every year and they said yes,â€? said Harris. “Every year it’s going up and we’re a small community with less than 1,000 people. To me, any government entity needs to be operating within their budget.â€? Harris mentioned that Downing and Harger did say the dispatchers hadn’t had any raises in several years. “They were quick to point out that no one has had a raise in a number of years, but in this economy that’s how it should be if you are a service employee and your paycheck comes from a government, whether its federal, county or city and especially if you’re being funded by taxpayer money. I would much rather pay per call‌ charge me $100 bucks every time they have to call 911. I’m just not a proponent of government reaching into our pockets every time they need money and next year when they vote for it again, I’ll probably be the same lone voice that doesn’t want to pay for it.â€?

The Buick left the roadway, coming to its final rest approximately 20 feet from the west edge of the highway. Mrs. Pace was killed instantly. Mr. Pace was injured as was a four-yearold child in Demeza’s car. Neither Demeza nor the two-year-old in her car suffered physical injury.

Witnesses say Mrs. Pace died on her husband’s lap. “He was holding her,� said National Guard Staff Sgt. Keith Lewis, “it was the most heartwrenching thing I’ve ever seen.

Gettin’ ready for learnin’ Going back in time can you remember there was a time before attending grammar school? Every Sunday the stump jumpers went to Sunday School and then heard the pulpit church sermons. Even then the classes were divided by age groups which was the initial sectioning for the future public school. Our Sunday school teachers were pillars of the community trying their best to make us grow up, learn and “ack-rite”. Each would read from the big Good Book and we had a small book doing our best to follow and understand with our instructor’s assistance. But we tried. Finally our class got to attend the first grade at the metropolis Rosemark grammar school. Ain’t SOUTHERN RAISIN' O TIS G RIFFIN we sumpin’ to put it mildly? But Sunday School for less than an hour was sho’ different from public education. Emerson, Phil, Arvis, Thurman. Bobby and big Paul from around the Barretville area had to ride a big, long, bumpity yellow school bus to get an education. On one of our front porch talks many years later Momma reminisced how excited I was to attend school. Of course she knew all I wanted was to play with the other kids my age and had no interest in so called book learning. We relived the fact that all I ever read at that time were Capt. Marvel, Green Hornet comic books and ‘funnies’ in the Press-Scimitar newspaper. But come Santy time I struggled with a Sears-Roebuck catalog making a long wish list. I could read a very small smidgen. Several decades ago the historical famous quote for a school was to learn some readin’, ’ritin’ and ’rithmetic. These were proudly classified in public as the three r’s. Identifying in some cases where does one work? Well, “he farms” or “a banker loans money”, but the reference was, “oh she teaches the three r’s” and highly respected in the various communities. Momma and Alice, our dear neighbor just up the road, helped me to learn to print my name. They explained that I was going to learn a lot so I thought I could already read and print my name. I could add one plus one and decipher that made two so that was enough. Wrong! No one told me, Bud, Don and Wayne about that other learning I had no interest in. But I had to do what the teacher demanded ’cause Momma said so. Neighbor there were a million books, rules and regulations we had to follow, but one very important book learning was spelling. Can you remember the so called writin’ tablet with lines “pert nigh” an inch a part? At the top of the page were the capital and small letters just written so wonderfully in light blue? (I’m positive a city slicker showing off) We had to have a number two yellow leaded pencil to be ready to learn. Everyone bought the aforementioned goodies at Thompson Brothers store within eye ball distance of the school. Momma went to school at Charleston until the tenth grade and graduated from Covington Byars-Hall so she knew all about school housing. Alice graduated from Brighton and was real smart and knew the answers to everything. So if I needed any educating all was well versed or so I thought? Mrs. Douglas was our first grade teacher and she was very, very strict. This was our home room when we reported to school each day and she issued all our books which we were so proud of. (they is mine, don’t touch). I’m startin’ my three r’s…Glory!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thanks for support Dear editor, I just wanted to thank everyone in the community of Tipton County. This week, my dad called and said Sam (his older Great Pyrenees dog) had gotten out of the backyard at night during a thunderstorm. Sam is family. Period. I asked him if he needed me to come from Vicksburg, MS, because ... my dad was on the road as a truck driver. He said no, he was headed back to Tennessee immediately. (Sam is a rescued dog who suffered greatly before arriving at my parents’ home. He is older and on medicine daily. Before my dad had gotten home (about 36 hours later), his neighbors had stepped up and made some fliers, looking diligently for Sam. They knew my mom needed help looking without my dad home. Once dad got home, he knocked on doors, distributed fliers, and talked to the waste management crew, postal workers, and sheriff’s department, anybody who would be out and about. He asked (and was granted) permission to walk people’s wooded properties. So many people stepped up and helped my dad look for Sam. (If you’re not familiar with the Great Pyrenees, they are nocturnal by nature and love to roam around to check things out!) So many of you took the time to speak with my dad about Sam and look at the picture. Thank you! Thank you to the lady who posted his information and picture on a local website! Thank you to everyone who took time after work to look for Sam! I would like to also let everyone know we have found Sam. Mr. Johnny Greene found him this morning besides some woods. I guess he was tired and knew it was time. Thank you Mr. Johnny from the bottom of my heart, for helping my dad get Sam to his final resting place. My family has peace now. When my dad retired from the Navy, he told me he wanted to go back to the Millington, TN area because of all the places he had ever been, this was his favorite. Now, I understand why he didn’t choose the beach route. Thank you all for your caring and kindness you have shown my family! Donya D Vicksburg, Miss.

close of the forum I had learned that Mrs. Moody refused to participate in the event even after the date of the forum was changed to accommodate her schedule, but in fact, rather chose to attend a bridal shower in Lauderdale County. Was Mrs. Moody afraid that she would not be able to answer the simple questions presented to the candidates regarding their stance on important topics such as their positions on pro-life issues, our 2nd Amendment Rights, unemployment issues affecting not only our state but Tipton county, the sanctity of marriage, welfare, Agenda 21, and the care of our veterans? It was quite a shock to me that she chose to refuse to attend the forum, especially seeing that she is being highly promoted by prominent citizens of Tipton County. Mrs. Moody, my question to you is this - how do you expect me to vote for you when it appears you are simply afraid to answer direct questions without having your website at your fingertips to search for your response, or better yet, the response of someone on your campaign team? Should I simply vote for you because your name is being thrown around by prominent, wealthy citizens of Tipton County? Or should I vote for one of the three men who sacrificed their time and actually appeared at the debate and spoke from their heart without rehearsed responses found on a website? I think I’ll go with the later. Citizens of Tipton County, you decide: do we want another representative in Nashville who doesn’t care about our needs or the needs of our county and is indebted to prominent and wealthy people? Or do we want a hard working, honest person who believes that it’s still about the little person who goes to work every day to feed and clothe and provide for their families? Susan Stoker Munford

Irony in Mason 911 story Dear editor, I found it ironic to read the news report about a Mason alderman’s strong opposition and “angered” response to Mason’s fair share of 911 user fees and then to read, a few pages later, a letter to the editor wherein the writer defined the word “ignorant” as “unaware” (The Leader, June 7, 2012). It is in this sense that the Mason alderman does, indeed, seem to be ignorant/unaware of the purpose of the 911 user fees. My late husband, Ricky T. Fletcher, a retired captain of the Tennessee Highway Patrol, served on the Tipton County Emergency Communications District Board for several years until his health forced him to resign about a year ago. The user fee shared among Tipton County’s municipalities is not a “government grab … for more money,” as the Mason alder-

man believes. This user fee has a separate purpose from the 911 fees that are charged to our cell phones and land lines, as the article in The Leader explained. Tipton County Emergency Communications District Director Renee Downing is correct when she stated, “They [the user fees] are based on call volume and population.” The day after my husband’s funeral, I thought I was having a heart attack. When I frantically dialed 911, the phone was answered promptly and an ambulance was dispatched to transport me to the hospital. I am thankful that there was enough funding not only to have my call received through the equipment and towers (from 911 user fees), but also to have a 911 dispatcher there to answer my call (from 911 user fees). For all the people in Tipton County who need fire, law enforcement or ambulance services each day, I saw shame on the Mason alderman for stating, “If I had my way, we wouldn’t pay at all.” And more shame to the aldermen who actually laughed at his remark. Proverbs 1:5 tells us, “A wise man will hear and increase learning, And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel.” It is my hope that when Tennessee Communications Executive Director Lynn Questall arrives in Mason this summer to “explain the fees and process of the 911 fee increase” that all Mason aldermen will be in attendance in order for ignorance/ unawareness to be turned into understanding and wise counsel.

Maley-

Dear editor, We want to use this public forum to express our appreciation to Brenda Moss and the staff at Maley-Yarbrough Funeral Home. Earlier this spring, we went out to replace the winter flowers with a spring arrangement on our parents’ marker at Covington Memorial Gardens. We knelt beside the headstone and noticed some sort of debris. Upon closer examination we discovered that the bronze finish was peeling off. Since the only way we can now honor our parents is by maintaining their final resting place, you can imagine our dismay. At the time of our mother’s death, we were unaware that Maley-Yarbrough sold markers, so we purchased one from a local business. When we approached the business from whom the marker was purchased (in October 2003), the owner said he would send someone out to inspect it. When we checked back with them, we were told that RoundUp had been sprayed on it and damaged the finished. We confirmed with MaleyYarbrough that RoundUp is not used in cemetery maintence. Then the monument company owner SEE LETTERS, PAGE A5

when investors place too much emphasis on past performance. If you own shares of XYZ stock, for instance, and the stock price hit $60 per share, you might assume XYZ will always sell for at least $60 a share. But if XYZ drops to $30 per share — perhaps as a result of a broad-based market decline — you might think it’s now “undervalued,â€? leading you to “snap upâ€? even more shares. However, XYX shares could also fall due to a change in its fundamentals, such as a shake-up in the company’s management or a decline in the competitiveness of its products. As an informed investor, you need to work with your financial advisor to determine the causes of an investment’s decline and any actions you may need to take in response. • Confirmation — If you are subject to confirmation bias, you may look for information that supports your reasons for choosing a particular investment. This type of bias can lead to faulty decision making, because you’ll end up with one-sided information. In

other words, you may latch onto all the positive reasons for investing in something — such as a “hot stock� — but you may overlook the “red flags� that would cause you to think twice if you were being totally objective. To fight back against confirmation bias, take your time before making any investment decision — a quality investment will almost always be just as good a choice tomorrow as it is today. Being aware of these investment biases can help you make better decisions — and over a period of many years, these decisions can make a difference as you work toward achieving your financial objectives.

edly recommend them to all of our friends and family. Their entire staff was wonderful when our parents died. Now we know their concern and compassion continue long after those sad days.

On June 11, 2012, a windstorm came through our city and many trees and homes were damaged. Our home lost the cap off our roof and chimney but Mr. Peter Simonton came and repaired it Tuesday morning. Trees were down over our drive, here comes Tip Top tree service. Limbs and leaves everywhere, here comes Drew Glass to help us. Thanks to Covington Electric, Tuesday morning the city truck picked up one load. This

morning we are back to normal. I thank everyone for their help. God was good to us and we gave Him the thanks. Covington is a great city to live in.

Continued from A4 not only asked what we expected after 10 years but informed us that he had no liability. He stated that once the marker was installed it became the property of Maley-Yarbrough Funeral Home. We spoke with Brenda Moss at Maley-Yarbrough; she could not have been nicer or more sympathetic. She advised that they do not use the same manufacturer for the monuments they sell, so they could not deal with the original manufacturer directly. However, through a business associate of a staff member, they were able to facilitate the return and repairs for us. Our parents’ headstone is now back in place. There are no words to explain how it felt to stand there and see it look good as new. We can never say enough about the excellent customer service and compassion displayed by Mrs. Moss and the rest of the staff at Maley-Yarbrough Funeral Home. There is no doubt that any future funeral needs, including headstones and markers, will be purchased at MaleyYarbrough Funeral Home. We will also wholeheart-

Burlison substation now on line The three-year process of building a new substation in the Burlison area came to fruition on Monday, June 4 with a ribbon cutting at the new Burlison 161-kv Substation on Highway 59. In 2009, Southwest Tennessee Electric Membership Corp. (STEMC) conducted a study of the power supply for Tipton County. That study revealed that growth in the Brighton, Covington and Drummonds area had made the addition of another substation necessary. From an electrical supply standpoint, the Burlison area was the best location to resolve the power

supply issues. STEMC, along with the TVA began the process of designing and building a new 161,000 volt substation on Highway 59 at Burlison. The total cost of the project is approximately eight million dollars and should serve the power supply needs in the north and northwest sections of Tipton County for many years and allow continued growth in the other areas of Tipton County. On Monday, June 4, a ribbon cutting ceremony was conducted to energize the substation for the first time. A number of local officials joined us for the ribbon cutting.

Cub Scout Day Camp

If you visited Cobb Parr Park during the day last week, you might have noticed a large amount of Cub Scouts. The district of Big Hatchie, which consist of Scouts in Tipton, Lauderdale, Fayette and Haywood counties held its annual Cub Scout Day Camp. We had 55 Scouts that participated in several activities, which included shooting BB guns, archery, hiking, swimming along with arts and crafts. The Cub Scouts would like to thank the City of Covington, Parks & Recreations department and the Covington Fire Department. All the scouts enjoyed having their camp help at this great location. The camp administrators, Christine Smith, Programs Director and Terry Alphin Camp Director, would like to thank all the volunteers for all their hard work and making this a great camp and for the memories that they have giving each scout.

The SHARP award, designed for employers with fewer than 250 workers in high-hazard industrial classifications, is one of the state’s highest honors for workplace safety and health. The main incentive for participation in the SHARP award program is the desire by employers to promote a safe and healthy workplace. The program also allows employers to be removed from programmed compliance inspection lists for a period of 12 months. ITW Paslode currently employs 52 people and is located in Covington, Tennessee. The company was established in 1976. ITW Paslode is a manufacturer of fasteners (i.e. nails) for the construction industry.

Almyra Libby Click Hi Everyone, hope you had a good week. Monday evening all of us were just about blown away in Tipton County. I was just leaving Sheer Essence, the beauty salon near my house, and it seriously looked like a tornado upon crossing the intersection on Highway 14. In my lifetime, that’s the first time I’ve ever seen such high winds, and sacks blowing in the wind, dirt and leaves from every direction. Thank God I was only one minute from home. We desperately needed the rain. However, it left me a memory I’ll never forget. I hope and pray none of you had any serious damage. Monday evening Charlie and I went to Julie Ann McCormack’s visitation. She was 71 years old. I use to do her and her mom’s, Mrs. Margaret Ann McCormick, hair when I lived in Brighton; many fond memories. Speaking of loved ones, please continue to remember Mrs. Lou-

ise Vandergrift in your prayers. Her older sister has come to stay with her as well as hospice. Salem Presbyterian Church - We welcome Lillie McDaniel into our membership by transfer of letter. Vacation Bible School was held this week. Theme was “God Always Wins�.

Sharon Presbyterian Church - We welcome all members, friends, and visitors to our fellowship. We are always grateful for our Dunlap residents who are able to be with us.

Burlison John W. Werner • 569-1090• burlisonnews@gmail.com Welcome Back Burlison! No birthdays or anniversaries to announce this week. I do have news on two events in Burlison through, one took place last week and one takes place next week. Here’s the first. Pam Branch and three friends just returned from a three-week trip to Europe. They flew to London and visited friends in Coventry, England, home of Lady Godiva. The six then drove over 3,000 miles in England, France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. They stayed six nights in a chalet built in 1673 in the small village of Wald am Arlberg, Austria, located in a valley surrounded by the snowcapped Alps Mountains. The scenery was breathtaking and reminiscent of ‘The Sound of Music’ movie. Another highlight was visiting Boppard, Germany, located on the Rhine River. Although this was her third time to visit England, she still enjoyed seeing sites she’d seen before such as Big Ben and a Thames River cruise in London; and Shakespeare’s birthplace and Anne Hathaway’s thatched-roof cottage in Stratford-upon-Avon. Additionally it was interesting to see all the preparations being made for Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee which began two days after they left London to return home, particularly the stage and props at

Buckingham Palace and Queen Victoria’s statute, the setting for the concert held June 4. The group also enjoyed trying regional foods in the various locals. Pam’s favorites were goulash with homemade noodles in Wald am Arlberg, and fish and chips in Oxford. They were also guests of honor in the home of their Coventry friends’ “mates� to sample a buffet of British delicacies. Despite flights delays getting out of London and Washington, D.C., where the airlines had to put them up for the night in a hotel, as well as continuing jet lag, Pam enjoyed this trip of a lifetime and would like to return some day to explore other points of interests in these countries that they didn’t get to this time. It’s time for Vacation Bible School. I’m sure you’ve seen all the signs at churches during this time of year and

Burlison is no different. Smyrna Baptist Church is holding its’ Vacation Bible School on Monday, June 18 through Friday, June 22. All the kids in and around the Burlison area are invited to come and have a great morning on a SPACE QUEST! Registration begins daily at 8:45 a.m. and children need to be picked up by 12:00 noon, after they eat lunch. The VBS is open for children who have just finished 3K through 6th Grade. If your children would like to come, but you have transportation issues, call the church to schedule the church van to pick-up your children and return them home afterwards. The church phone number is (901) 476-6178. Don’t forget to call me at 569-1090 with your Burlison News or email me at BurlisonNews@gmail. com. Have a great week Burlison!

Trouble could be brewing if Obamacare is struck down By DEREK E. BALTIMORE Senior Consulting Financial Group, Inc. With the Supreme Court hearing arguments on the Affordable Care Act (otherwise known as Obamacare) and a decision expected at the end of June 2012, much is at stake for seniors - no matter what side of the fence you are on pertaining to the law. Major improvements (albeit promised) by the law would disappear should the high court decide to toss out the entire law as unconstitutional. The opponents major flaw within the law is the individual mandate, requiring all americans to purchase health insurance or face monSENIOR FOCUS etary penalties. Such DEREK E. BALTIMORE a decision by the Supreme Court could create chaos and confusion the very next day. Every single payment provider that Medicare makes now has been modified now by the ACA. This author believes this was the administration’s plan the entire way along. Should the opposing party attempt to disrupt the implemented law by taking the matter to the Supreme Court - that any changes or modifications would put the Medicare health system in a state of disarray. We are in an election year, by the way. I am presuming a bit of posturing being done by both parties. Let’s talk about the impact on the individual solely. The most immediate change would hit seniors who enter the “doughnut hole� in Medicare’s Part D prescription drug program. In 2012,

Gilt Edge Johnny Blyue Troy, Connie and Johnny Blyue were the guests of Rita and Donnie Haislep of Sommerville. The group had a good time and visited the Chickasaw State Park. Southern style prowrestling at the Garland Community Center is held on Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. Ticket prices are $7 ringside and $6 general admission. Doors open at 7 p.m. Please remember those in the nursing homes, hospitals, those serving in the military and their families. Until next time

coverage stops when spending reaches $2,930, and resumes at $4,700. In 2012, the Affordable Care Act calls for pharmaceutical companies to provide a 50 percent discount on brandname drugs to most beneficiaries who find themselves in the gap; there’s also a 14 percent discount on generic drugs. This fall’s enrollment season for prescription drug plans also could be affected by a court ruling. Enrollment runs from mid-October to early December, and pharmaceutical companies are submitting their bids this week to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services based on the terms of the Affordable Care Act. The timing for CMS would be very difficult, says the arthur. They would need to scramble very quickly to make decisions on payments for 2013 just as the bids are coming. There wouldn’t be a lot of time to make adjustments. Medicare’s new free annual wellness visit and other screening services also could disappear. If the law is struck down and those savings provisions do not take effect, Medicare spending will rise, which would lead to higher Part B premiums. By law, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services sets the Part B premium so that beneficiaries cover 25 percent of the program’s cost. That means if Part B spending rises, beneficiaries will pay higher premiums. All is not bad if the law is struck down. We still live in a free and just society, where besides paying taxes, there are not many other government mandates. Our forefathers would rollover in their graves were they to read the provisions of this law. All 961 pages of it.

Jamestown Darsay Burton Greetings, last week Bright Hill closed out VBS with much success, thanks to Supt. of VBS Brother Fred Bounds and his amazing staff. Also, VBS closed out on Sunday with associated pastor of Bright Hill honoring several graduates from Bright Hill. Congratulations everyone. North Star Community Church of Frayser Pastor Rev. Steven Miller, Sr. and the youth dept under the leadership of Sharla Reddick, closed VBS after three nights on Sunday. Youth Day was the entire day of praising and fellowship. Rev. Ed White of Memphis brought the a.m. message “It Takes a Village to Raise a Child.” The week’s theme was “Youth Destined for Greatness – Don’t Count Me out!” 1 Sam 16:7 and Gen. 4:8. Afternoon speaker was Rev. Elliot Shelton and choir and members of Promise Lane, Memphis. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Curtis (RaNada)

Brighton Debe Simonton Hello my friends, what a great beginning to the summer. Rain, cooler tempts, what more could we ask for. The gardens are looking so wonderful. Our son-in-law, CH, has a beautiful garden. He probably has more garden than hours to take care of, but his is off to a great start. Right now he is keeping the family stocked on yellow squash and zucchini. We are up for an exciting weekend! Neal and I are keeping the twins and Sloane Saturday night. This will be the first time we have had the three of them overnight. We are going to have to have our roller skates on because those girls are busy! We are trying hard to get ready for the 5th Annual Harrison Simonton Memorial Fish Fry. Jon-Allen and his friends came over yesterday to work on our run-away flowerbeds. I’m trying to spruce up a bit because my sister and her ‘guy-friend’ (hard to say boyfriend when your over fifty) are going to be staying at our home. Thank goodness for space, Trevor will be at the National HOSA convention in Orlando and Connor will be staying with some friends. No road trips for Beth and I this year, dadgumit! You know we usually hit the road in search for family cemeteries. Oh well, I guess I’ll have to initiate my children into family genealogy. Can I just say how thankful I am that my son, Trey, is not in Egypt working anymore, now Syria is on the brink of a civil war. You couldn’t pay me to go to the Middle East. Trey says the Vietnamese are so nice to them and he can actually do some sight seeing. He will be here for the benefit but when he goes back out for the next ‘hitch’, he will go to Indonesia. He is not sure which island though. I would have never guessed that my son would be traveling the world working on oil rigs. WOW! Happy Birthday to Wendy Wallace, Vickie Smith, Jordon Campbell, Maylene Walker, Josh Halleron, our nephew, Michael Durham, Lisa Cromwell, Jamie Wyatt, Amber Hayes, Dawn Johnston, Jennifer McCullough, Deborah Ramsey, Amy Driscoll, and Katy Greathouse. Happy Birthday to all of you and anyone else I have left out. Don’t forget this next Sunday is Father’s Day! We love our Daddy’s. I know I love mine, Bill Daniels, and hope he has a wonderful day and of course, I love you Daddy. Put it on the calendar, Saturday, June 23, is the benefit. The food is terrific and the auction is always spectacular. Hoping for a great auction this year as always. The businesses in this county are the best! Welcome Cassie Greene to Simonton Salon. Cassie lives in Covington and has two teenage boys. She is a great addition to the salon. Oh, my goodness, Dallas is coming back! The show is due to debut on Wednesday, June 13, on TNT. I can remember when the kids were young; they had to be in bed by the time my ‘shows’ came on. Well, hope all of you have a terrific blessed week. Check up on your neighbors or at least find out who they are! Make sure the elderly are doing okay. Talk to you next week! Love you, Debe

Flemmings who were recently married. On Sunday afternoon, both their families and friends feted the happy couple with a beautiful reception held at the Baker Community Center in Millington. The bride is the daughter of Clarence Melvin Cobb and Sandra Baler Cobb of Jamestown. He’s the brother of Jeffery Mosley, Sr., also of Jamestown. They will be calling Jamestown home. Happy birthday this week to Mae Burton 10th, Stacy Weaver and Pat Farebree 11th, Jarral Yorkley 12th, Marrissa Dickerson 13th, La Rue Albritton 14th, Clinton Armstrong 15th and Jack Armstrong and Jessica Evans on the16th. We are praying for Connie and Christine Brown, Jennie Stewart, Joseph Heaston, Sr., Posey Reed, Carlotta Jones, Charlene and David Snned, Isiah Burton, Sr. and family, Eula Culbreath and family, Flossie Woods, Jessie Lawson, Rhonda Heaston-McLin and family , Tyndall Miller, Beaulah Wakefield, Ruth Alston, Shade Alston, Louise Alston, Johnnie Thompson, Percy White and family, Robert Smith and family, Ada Fletcher, Rufus Garner and Ruth Griffin. Correction on last week’s news. It is JaCinta Jones, not Janzs, and Rev. Richard Coe is the pastor of New Hope M.B. Church of Burlison. Rev. Coe prayed during their morning worship service last Sunday morning, but he is in no way affiliated with the Jolly Corteria’s “ladies only” club of Jamestown. Their news last week should have read about their Jamestown meeting in the lovely home of member, Mildred Sherrill of Covington. All for this week, remember, “Playing with fire will not only get you burned, you could also lose your shirt, cloth burns too!” Until next time.

Elaine Watkins This week’s Farm Report: We were finishing putting down fertilizer for the year, when the storm hit. Corn is all tasseled out and beautiful. It’s gotten ample rainfall this year, and the beans and cotton are growing nicely. We had a wonderful VBS at the Covington Church of Christ. Some of our members and children are in Dry Ridge, Kentucky, this week, helping with their VBS. Hope they have a safe trip and fun time! Wednesday night Todd Townsend gave me a quart bag of blackberries and I got two cobblers out of them! Yay! Then Jerry Ward brought us some yellow squash so we’ve been eating well! Thursday night Elizabeth and Lyla came over for supper while Justin was at a game. We kept Lyla Saturday night for several hours and had a ball with her. I collect rubber ducks and all I have to do is get the ducks out for her and she’s set! Delores Whaley is recovering from surgery, as well as Linda Grant and Barry Laxton. Debbie Otts’ uncle, Gilbert Brown, is in ICU and in our prayers, as well as Florence Robertson, Mike Rogers’ mother, Carla Ann Uttz, Bobby Glover and Catherine Mc-

Calla, “the Queen of Mt. Carmel”, who is in a rehab center in Memphis following a light stroke; and all those taking treatments, our servicemen and women and voters. Congratulations to McKennah Pearl Cook on her graduation from MacArthur High School in Oklahoma. And to Justin Rogers, Mike and Bonita’s son, who graduated with a Ph.D. in Hebraic and Cognate Studies from Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati, Ohio. The birthday party at Covington Manor will be on the 16th at 2 p.m. and the devotional at Covington Care, at 4 p.m. on the 17th. Happy Birthday this week goes to Joyce Whaley on June 10th, to Rick Moore, Hannah Johnson and Ken Bringle Jr. on the 11th, to Brenda Mason on the 13th and to Noah Liles on the 15th! Happy Anniversary to Tim and Ginger Sallee on June 11th, to Andy and Delores Whaley and Jeff and Christie Coughlan on the 12th and to Rodger and Mary Beasley on the 14th! This week’s Farmer’s Almanac Quote for Father’s Day: “One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters.” Happy Father’s Day on June 17th! And happy 81st birthday to my dad, Kenneth Weir, on the same day! Until next week . . .

SOCCER

Continued from A7 varsity and college level players.” The under-16 girls team, which consisted of players from Covington and Brighton high schools, as well as Crestview Middle School and Covington Integrated Arts Academy, wrapped up its season in the spring and competed well. They won the Collierville Pepsi Challenge, took second in a Jackson, Tenn., tournament and third in two other events. The boys, which compete in the fall and will hold tryouts the next two Saturdays at Walker Park in Atoka, took third last year at the Queen City Classic in Clarksville, Tenn. Chapman said he would love to have more teams, especially at younger levels, as the current players move on past high school age in the next two to three years. “I would really like to see the program grow in this county and keep our players close to home,” said Chapman, who coaches both teams. “We have just as much talent in this area if we can just develop the skill level or our players and get more players involved in soccer … You must make a commitment to your team and developing your play or we cannot be successful.”

COMMUNITY SCHOOLING

A look at Tipton County’s historical schools

By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com Although school is out for the summer, join us each week as we take a look at some of Tipton County’s former community schools, which, through its students, have made a lasting impact on Tipton County. Since the opening of the first school, the Covington Male Academy in 1826 in Covington, just three years after Tipton County was formed, the communities within Tipton County have always placed the education of its children at the top of its priority list. Long gone are the community schools, which once numbered in excess of a hundred; now replaced by a combination of 15 elementary, middle and high schools, but which place no less importance on the education of the students of Tipton County than it did 186 years ago. In 1911, according to school account records held at the Board of Education, Tipton County had 84 community schools located throughout the county, which included 33 colored schools. The schools listed as they appear in the Tipton County School Accounts record Book 1 are: Atoka, Almira, Atoka (col), Alston (col), Antioch (col), Billings, Bluff, Brighton, Bride, Bowden, Bright Hill (col), Beachers Chapel (col), Brighton High School, Campground, Craig Chapel, Clopton, Corona, Canaan (col), Centre (col),

Covington High, Davis, Dickson (col), Dixonville, Egypt, Flatwoods, Glass, Gilt Edge, Gainsville, Garland, Gift, Holmes, Holmes High, Holly Grove, Huffman, Hazel Grove, Hopewell, Hill, Hawkins (col), Hicks (col), Island 37 (col), Keeling (col), King Hll (col), Kinney (col), Leigh’s Chapel, Liberty, Munford, Mt. Carmel, Mason, Munford (col), Mt. Carmel (col), Mt. Tipton (col), Mason (col), Noell (col), Oak Grove, Pisgah, Popular Grove, Philan, Petty’s Grove (col), Pleasant Grove (col) Quito, Quito (col), Rialto, Randolph, Robison High, Reverie, Rialto (col), Solo, St. Peters, St. Paul (col), Salem (col), St. Luke (col), Shiloh (col), St. Matthews (col), Tipton Tabernacle, Tipton (col), Thomas (col), Union Hill (col), Walnut Grove, Willis, Wilson Chapel Willow Grove (col), Wright (col) and Yarbrough.

St. Paul’s School Humble beginnings Although the exact date of the establishment of St. Paul’s School is unknown, available Board of Education records do show it was in existence at least from 1911 to the end of its last school term and subsequent closing in 1968. The colored school was located in the western portion of Tipton County in the community of Richardson and included students from Richardson, Drummonds and the Atoka communities. Many family

names, including Wakefield, Alston, Boyd, and Washington are repeated throughout the years, as generations of the same family were educated there. The first available records documenting the school’s history begin during the school term of Nov. 24, 1924 to April 17, 1925. In the historical education records, the story of the beloved community school and its pupils begin to emerge. The one-room schoolhouse had just been built and was first occupied as a school on Feb. 25, 1925. It was a frame building, just 480 square feet with an ordinary stove and windows located on two sides of the building. The children had use of two toilets located on the outside of the building; their teacher, Pet Mae Gaines, recorded it as unsanitary. The water was drawn from a cistern and also believed to have been unsanitary. The blackboard was made of wooden planks, 24 inches from the floor and the children had the use of 12 patent double desks. There was no desk for the teacher and although the school was located on 10 acres, there was no playground equipment for the students who ranged from age 7 to 18 years.

porary certificate, issued the day the term started on Nov. 24, 1924. She was paid $40 a month and charged $10 a month for room and board. She was not married but did have one dependent. She taught the first through sixth grades. That term, Gaines had a large class – 70 students – 40 boys and 30 girls. She had students in every grade except for fifth and the age range in each grade varied greatly. First grade had students from 7 to 15 years. Second grade included ages 10 to 18. Third and fourth grades, 13 to 17 and sixth grade taught students ages 15 to 18. Out of the 70 students, 35 were attending school for the first time and the other 35 were on only on their second year of education. All of the students were children of farmers. The student day started at 8:45 a.m. and lasted until 3:40 p.m. each day. Depending on the grade they were in, they would have lessons in spelling, reading, writing, drawing, arithmetic, geography, history, grammar, language, physiology, hygiene and music. At the end of the 1925 school year, only 54 students of out 70 were promoted to the next grade. No one in the third grade or the sixth passed at all.

Student Life The teacher that year was Miss Pet Mae Gaines, a young 22-year-old originally from Covington, and who was teaching on a tem-

War Years The school term of 1939 to 1940 found students still using the same building, which had been built in 1925, except now, the

records show that it was a bit larger; it was now a 720 square foot building. The drinking water and toilets were considered sanitary and the school now had playground equipment valued at $10. The building and its heating system were valued at $300 and the grounds at $20. The school had textbooks for each of its grades, valued at $60 and the school’s library started the year with 30 books on its shelves and was able to add another 15 by the end of the school term. That brought the library’s value up to $8. Mr. Turner Armstrong was now the teacher for the 1st thru 8th grades, and, in fact, was the twelfth educator the one-room school had seen during its first nine years. Turner was a high school graduate and had attended A & I State College for 18 months, leaving with 94 college credits. He had five years experience, all at St. Paul’s School. At 30 years of age, he was married and the father of one. He made $83 a month.

COMMENTARY

The heart of the word By RALPH A. KELLEY The Church at Shiloh John 1:1-5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. The eternal existence of Jesus and His relationship with God is told us in the first verse of John. From this opening to the end of his letter, John does not turn aside from presenting Jesus, who came from God, who was God prior to His birth, and regained His glory and power and position at His resurrection. John opens his letter like the opening words of Genesis; and by using such words, John shows the new creation through the Word, born Jesus, as the same category of importance as the physical creation of the universe, being the creative act of the Word which created the original creation. The literal Greek word is logos which is derived from the word lego which translates: to say, word or thought. The secondary meaning such as logic and thought come from the fact that if one is able to speak, then intelligence and thought are assumed. The English has transliterated logos to mean word. John’s use of the “Word” for the prephysical birth of Jesus, may have been taken from Psalm 33:6, where are told, “By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth”, which embodies the Word of God as a separate being. And by John telling us, “and the Word was with God” declares to us that our Lord was intimately linked with our Father. We would have learned the truth from the first two phrases, “in the beginning was the Word” and “the Word was

with God”, but John reaffirms in the third statement, that the Word was indeed, God. John’s doctrine of the Greek logos is somewhat different than that of Greek philosophy. Number one, the New Testament logos is God. Number two, the New Testament logos is personal. Number three, the New Testament logos created all things. Number four, the New Testament logos, emptied Himself, became flesh, and dwelt among men. The three declarations that John makes in verse one, in verse two is reduced to a single statement, “He was in the beginning with God. But what beginning are we talking about? The beginning of the age of grace? The beginning of the creation story as told in Genesis? The first fourteen verses in John are first, to introduce the Word, and to identify Him as God. John tells us this to set at rest any controversy concerning the divine nature of Jesus; Number one, He who was made, revealed as the Messiah, existed before creation. Number two, He was present with God the Father. Number three, He was divine from the beginning. Number four, He was the Word, and number five, that by Him and through Him were all things made that were made. In the Old Testament, God revealed His creative power through the Word, and also revealed His will through the Word. We must also understand that there are mysteries to the divine nature and the relationship between God the Son and God the Father, which we will have to wait on to understand. These mysteries are too deep for us to understand, but this is very clear: God created and spoke to man through His Word. Even as we put our thoughts into words, when the Word is clothed in flesh, we clearly recognize Him as Jesus. “In Him was life”. Life was a favorite word used by John. He used the word thirty-six time and eleven of those times are in combi-

nation with Eternal. John used the past tense, which tells me that all of the hopes of Israel’s law was actually in Jesus, even as it is with all who have ever lived. All life came through Jesus, all life is sustained by Him and all life is responsible to Him. Beginning at the Garden of Eden, God laid down the program of instruction, and the revelation designed for the ‘enlightenment’ of all people, and the guidance of all people into the way of eternal life. Although the sin of Adam is not mentioned here, it is implied through the identity of man’s source of light. Man’s light is not from within himself, rather it is acquired only from Jesus, the Savior of man. Only those who become enlightened, who have come to Jesus as the only way to our Father, have attained the light, and all others are in darkness. In that very nature of that indescribable light in Jesus, that is at once past, present and future, shining in the shadow of darkness, revealing as a blazing sun, illuminating the darkness of man’s sin and his rebellion against God. And the darkness cannot overcome the light, even as those in darkness cannot understand the truth that is in Christ Jesus. There is a hostility between light and darkness. There is an opposition between good and evil. There is an enmity between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of evil that appears in verse five. The unregenerated, unrepentant world hates God and the knowledge of His truth. But the hatred and opposition of evil men cannot stop the light from shining. Albert Einstein said that “darkness is not something, it is the absence of something. You can have low light, bright light, flashing light, but if you have no light constantly you have nothing and it’s called darkness, isn’t it?”. And the history of the time since the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, the Son of God, is a history of the ’Light’ shining in the darkness.

Simonton - Wilcox Camp No. 257, Sons of Confederate Veterans (S.C.V.). honors sacrifices of the past Fort Wright Historic Site A granite historical marker, flag pole and observation deck were dedicated at Randolph on Saturday, June 2, 4 p.m., at the Fort Wright Historical Site on Randolph Road near the remains of the old gunpowder magazine. The construction of Fort Wright at Randolph was begun in April 1861 by the State of Tennessee and later by the Confederate States of America. By June 5, 1862, some 6,000 Confederate soldiers and sailors had served at Randolph. Campsites, cannon, gunboats, fortifications and gunpowder magazines were erected over approximately twenty acres of land above and below the Chickasaw Bluffs of Randolph. The marker and flag pole were sponsored by the members and friends of Simonton - Wilcox Camp No. 257, Sons of Confederate Veterans (S.C.V.). The S.C.V. contracted with Covington Granite Works to erect the marker. Members of the S.CV. built the observation deck that faces the gunpowder magazine toward the northwest. Members of the S.C.V. adopted these projects to help commemorate the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War in Tennessee and Tipton

County. Russell Bailey, Commander of the S.C.V., delivered remarks and officially conveyed the marker and flag pole to the Fort Wright Historical Site, Inc. (F.W.H.S.). Roy Collins, President of the F.W.H.S. accepted the memorials on behalf of his association and thanked the S.C.V. for their enhancement of the property. Members of both groups are working to mark and preserve prominent historical sites of the Civil War in Tipton County, and to mark the graves of Confederate soldiers who died during in the conflict. The “Tipton Rifles”, a uniformed Confederate military living history company commanded by Lt. Darrell Wright, provided a 21 gun salute in honor of the occasion. Approximately fifty West Tennesseans attended the dedication. Among the guests were Lynn Shaw, past commander in chief of the Sons of Confederate Veterans and his wife Mary Ann Shaw, president of the Gen. Joe Wheeler Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy and Mat Edwards and family of Brownsville. Uniformed members of the Tipton Rifles at the Memorial Service at R. Hl. Munford Cemetery Covington on June 3, 2012. Standing left to right: Roy Collins, Jesse White, Joe Harrald, Harry Billings, Darrell Wright, Jared Baker. Kneeling, left to right: Alan White, Russell Bailey, Bobby Bailey, J. P. Flynn.

Members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, left to right, include Jared Baker, J.P. Flynn, Harry Billings, Bobby and W.T. Bailey, Roy Collins, Alan White, Darrell Wright, Joe Harrald, David Gwinn, Lynn J. Shaw of Brownsville and Russell Bailey.

Civil War soldiers remembered On Sunday, June 3, the R. H. Munford Cemetery, Covington, was the setting for the 35th annual Confederate Memorial Day. Commemoration sponsored by the Simonton-Wilcox Camp No. 257, Sons of Confederate Veterans. Early that morning at 7 a.m., Russell Bailey, Jared Baker, Avon Gardner and Roy Collins went to the cemetery and placed flags on the 200 plus soldiers’ graves. About a dozen of the markers had been knocked over and or broken. S.C.V. members dug holes, inserted the headstones and packed dirt around them after they were up-righted. The program began at 4 p.m. Lt. Cdr. Harry Billings called the assembly to order and welcomed those in attendance. Tim Sloan delivered the Invocation. Following the Pledge and salute to the flags led by Jared Baker and 2d. Lt. Commander Darrell Wright, Commander Russell Bailey delivered the Memorial Day address. The 204th Birthday of U. S. War hero and later Left: Members of the Ballard family and Bruce Gray joined with members of the SCV at R. H. Munford Cemetery on June 3 in observance of the Decoration of the Civil War Soldiersʼ Graves. Tim Sloan, W. T. Bailey joined with the uniformed members of the Tipton Rifles to help commemorate the Campʼs 35th annual Confederate Day Service since 1975.

Confederate President, Jefferson Davis, marked the occasion Bailey spoke on the Confederate hospital established in Covington in May 1862 to care for the 90 sick soldiers of the 12th Louisiana Infantry stationed at Fort Pillow and Camp Green. The citizens of Covington took many into their homes and cared for them free of charge. David Gwinn read the roll call of names of the Confederate and Union Soldiers buried in the Cemetery. Adjutant Roy Collins commanded the detachment of the “Tipton Rifles” in the military salute. A taped recording of “Dixie” followed the 21-gun salute. A special feature was the attendance of Bruce Gray, grandson of Tipton’s last Confederate soldier, Leonidas Polk Marshall. Mr. Gray displayed some of his ancestor’s reunion medals and personal effects. Members of the Camp attending were: Bobby, Russell and W. T. Bailey, Jared Baker, Harry Billings, Roy Collins, J. P. Flynn, David Gwinn, Joe Harrald, Tim Sloan, Alan and Jesse White and Darrell Wright. Guests included Patricia Bailey, the Bakers, Terri Collins and family, Mrs. Flynn, Mrs. White, young Harrald, the Ballards of Randolph., etc. Forty members and guests attended the ceremony.
