CHS earns national recognition U.S. News & World Report ranks school among America's best

By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com

Covington High School has been honored as the only Tipton County high school to be recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a bronze medalist school in its annual ranking of America’s Best High Schools for 2012. CHS principal Peggy Barber Murdock said she is honored to have her school selected as a top high school and she is very proud of both her faculty and students. “It’s our teachers and our students and it’s absolutely depen-

dent upon them understanding what their capacity is and having high expectations,” said Murdock. “Certainly our expectation is not to get an award, but to get our students ready for college and/or a career. We’re very proud that someone recognizes that we are working hard. Although we have not met all of our goals, it's nice to be recognized for working very hard and making progress and I think that’s probably the most

important thing – that we are moving forward.” To produce the annual U.S. News & World Report Best High Schools rankings, U.S. News teamed up with the Washington, D.C.-based American Institutes for Research (AIR), one of the largest behavioral and social science research organizations in the world. The 2012 report analyzed 21,776 public high schools in 49 states plus the District of Columbia using a three-step pro-

cess to determine the best high schools. The criteria for ranking the schools into categories of gold, silver or bronze was based on the key principles that a great high school must serve all its students well, not just those who are bound for college, and that it must be able to produce measurable academic outcomes that show the school is successfully educating its student body across a range of performance indicators.

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com Louise Vandergrift, one of Brighton’s mostbeloved residents, died Monday. A lifelong resident of Tipton County, Vandergrift was born Jenny Louise Wells in Brighton on a hot day in August 1933, two days after the home her parents and four older siblings lived in burned down. Vandergrift grew up in Brighton. She was a member of Brighton Baptist Church, played basketball for Brighton High School and was Miss Brighton and Miss Tipton County in 1949. In 1903, her grandfather, William Wells, established Wells’ Grocery in Brighton in the small building where Swaim’s Garage is now located. Her father later bought the business and moved it to its last location at 125 Main Street. Vandergrift and her brothers and sisters each worked at Wells, though never at the same time, she said, and it was here that she met the man she’d marry. Arnold Vandergrift, who lived in Mason, was a Coca-Cola delivery driver. After making a stop at Wells, he telephoned Vandergrift on March 20, 1950, and asked her for a date. “I accepted, and we went to the Brighton Baptist Church and afterwards to U-ComeIn in Covington to eat one of those delicious BBQ sandwiches that only Robert Klutts could make,” she wrote in her cookbook, United We Stand, in 2007. They were married six months later on Sept.p 20, 1950, in the Brighton Baptist Church parsonage by Brother T.L. Alexander. “I would write him almost yearly every September to thank him ‘for tying the knot so good!’” The Vandergrifts were blessed with three children - Jimmy, Vannice and Bryan – and had more than a dozen grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her beloved Arnold died in 2007. Mrs. Vandergrift has donated her body to science. A memorial service will take place at a later date. Funeral arrangements are being handled by Covington Funeral Home (covingtonfuneralhome.com).

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com If found in West Tennessee, an endangered bat will not change the future of Interstate 69, says the Tennessee Department of Transportation. But that doesn’t mean they’re not looking for it. “I really doubt they’d change the route of I-69,” said Matt Richards, a TDOT biologist. “If it did, it’d be extremely slight.” According to letters mailed two weeks ago, biologists with Kentucky-based Palmer Engineering will be conducting Indiana bat presence/absence surveys through August 15 along I-69’s Millington to Dyersburg corridor. TDOT officials said the Indiana bat, which is a federally-listed species and falls under the protection of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, has already been spotted in East and Middle Tennessee. Found mostly in the eastern half of the United States, the bat’s numbers have been declining for nearly 50 years. They were added to the

endangered list in the late 1960s. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service states the bats are small, mouse-eared creatures who cluster together during hibernation. Biologists can distinguish the Indiana bat from similar species by comparing the structure of the foot and color variations in the fur, among other things. Richards said biologists are conducting surveys because the USFWS has concerns about white-nose syndrome, a fungal disease that can kill hibernating bats. “It can further endanger the species,” Richards said. He wants to be clear the potential presence of the Indiana bat will not change the course of the interstate, just the time periods in which some of the construction would occur. “In the summer they roost on trees with exfoliating bark,” Richards said. “We wouldn’t remove those particular trees during the summer. Palmer’s letters, which were mailed to approximately 1,100 landowners, inform residents they will

deploy special devices in wooded areas on or near private property at dusk and remove the devices in the morning. The devices, said the firm, will record bat feeding sounds throughout the night. Each site will require two consecutive nights of recording and mist netting. Mist netting, the firm said, is when the biologists set up special nets to capture bats. Biologists may need to remain on private property throughout the night. Richards said he hopes the letters and media attention alleviate residents’ alarm. Those conducting the surveys will travel in marked cars to help alleviate the concerns of the public. Additionally, he encourages the public not to attempt to catch bats or complete the surveys on their own. “It’s actually illegal. You have to have a special license to do it.” Those with questions or concerns may contact Richards at 615-5323880 or Palmer’s project manager Chris Blevins at 859-744-1218.

Covington man, 21, awaiting trial on fourth attempted murder charge By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com A man awaiting trial for attempted first-degree murder in Tipton County was convicted of attempted murder in Lauderdale County Wednesday, District Attorney General Mike Dunavant announced Friday. Following a two-day jury trial in Ripley, Davarius Datron “Nudy-b” Smith, 21, was convicted of attempted seconddegree murder, employment of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony and reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon. According to court documents, Smith and another Tipton County man, Kevin “Pkei” McNeal of Mason, were involved in a shooting on Watkins Road in Ripley in July 2011. The affidavits state Smith, who was a passenger in a white Pontiac G6 driven by McNeal, began shooting at a Javene Tatum. Witnesses allege 10-15 shots were fired in the direction of a crowd of approximately 200 people, including women and children. Smith was reportedly still shooting as the vehicle drove off, bullets striking the vehicle of Steven Whitelow, a man attempting to pull the injured Tatum to safety. Nine shots were fired into Whitelow’s car, the case file reveals Smith and McNeal were indicted on a variety of charges, including attempted two counts of second-degree murder, felony reckless endangerment, employing a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony, prior felony conviction and being felons in possession of a hand-

gun, during the February 2012 term of the Lauderdale County Grand Jury. McNeal took a plea deal. After his arrest for the shooting in Ripley, Smith was free on a $30,000 bond, however his bond was revoked when he was accused of shooting Aaron “Icy” Lewis in Covington in January. According to the report, Smith drove to the corner of Hill and Simonton streets, got out of the vehicle and fired a handgun multiple times in the direction of 402 Simonton where a group of people was standing. Police say Lewis, Rob Jones, Deon Tipton and Charles Hall were in imminent danger of serious bodily harm or death. Eight .45-caliber shell casings were found at Hill and Simonton where Smith was reportedly standing. Lewis was struck once

has several tracks from his album “I’m So PlayaMade.” On Facebook, he lists his occupation as Founder and CEO of Team Playa-Made where his responsibilities include rapping and hustling. Smith will be sentenced in Lauderdale County on Friday, Sept. 14. Dunavant said he faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years for the employment of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony conviction, consecutive to a range of punishment of 8-12 years for each of the attempted second-degree murder convictions and from 1-2 years for the reckless endangerment conviction. His trial in Tipton County is set to begin Aug. 27.

These have not been isolated incidences of attempted murder for Smith, however. In August 2007, when he was 16, Smith shot at Patrick Adams. He was tried and, eventually, convicted on the lesser charge of attempted voluntary manslaughter after a mistrial. While on house arrest between the shooting and his trial, Smith was arrested for driving without a license, attempting to sell marijuana and aggravated assault. Additionally, in 2009, Smith spent five months in jail on charges of rape and voluntary manslaughter.

Beard enters guilty plea in animal cruelty case By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com A Tipton County woman accused of neglecting her pit bulls entered a guilty plea in court Thursday, District Attorney General Mike Dunavant announced. Shawn Beard, the former owner of a dog who became well-known after being tied to a tree and starved to death in October 2011, pleaded guilty as charged to the Class E Felony offense of aggravated animal cruelty and the Class A Misdemeanor offense of animal cruelty. The case sparked outrage as local animal rights activists posted photos of the dog, nicknamed Grace, on Facebook. The graphic photo shows her skin taut and stretched over her bony frame. She died days later at Northgate Animal Hospital, however a puppy, which the group nicknamed Faith, survived. Faith was also tied to a tree, however she chewed through the rope and was found eating beans in a nearby field. She has now been adopted. Activist Linda Sutphin, who works with the Dogs 2nd Chance rescue organization, said she feels good about the plea. “I just cannot fathom how you can walk by a dog every day that’s

chained up,� she said. “I’m glad for the conviction and I’m glad the DA got behind us.� According to the DA’s office, a sentencing hearing is scheduled for Friday, July 20 in Tipton County Circuit Court. Beard faces a possible range of punishment of from 1-2 years at 30 percent for the felony aggravated animal cruelty conviction and up to 11 months, 29 days at 75 percent for the misdemeanor animal cruelty conviction.

Dunavant said Beard has applied for and is statutorily eligible for judicial diversion and/or probation, due to her lack of a prior criminal conviction history. Sutphin said while she’s glad for a conviction, she’s disappointed Beard may not spend any time behind bars. “I was hoping they’d make an example out of this and give her a little bit of time, just to deter other people from doing this too,� she said.

County receives $60K waste tire recycling grant By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com Tipton County was awarded a $60,000 waste tire recycling grant by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation to pay for the recycling of old tires. Recycling them keeps the tires out of the county’s landfill. The county’s award was part of $2.8 million in grants given for fiscal year 2013-2014 and is supported from the Solid Waster Management Fund, which receives revenue from a pre-disposal fee on the purchase of new tires. The money is returned to Tennessee counties in the form of

grants to assist with the processing and transportation of tires to beneficial end-use facilities. Counties are reimbursed $1 per eligible tire and are required to provide at least one waste tire collection site. It is estimated that Tennessee recycles 55,000 tons of tires per year, diverting waste tires from landfills and sending them to beneficial enduse facilities, which include using tire-derived aggregate in civil engineering projects, crumb rubber for asphalt paving and molded rubber products. “This is a continuous, two-year grant,� said Tipton County Executive Jeff

Huffman. “We received $30,000 each year to help with the cost of keeping the tires out of the places they’re not suppose to be – our streams and landfill – and they are being recycled and turned into beneficial products.� Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam believes the partnership between the state and Tennessee’s counties ensures the environment is the main beneficiary of the program. “Working with our local county partners is vital to the success of this program,� said Haslam. “The Solid Waste Management Fund continues to provide support to Tennessee’s communi-

ties, assisting in the diversion of waste tires from landfills for the benefit of the environment.� Tipton County residents may properly dispose of their unwanted tires at the Tipton County landfill using their county landfill permit. The landfill is open Tuesday – Friday 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and on Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. The landfill is closed on Sunday and Monday. Businesses which need to dispose of tires must stop at the Tipton County Public Works located at 8279 Highway 51 first to pay a $1 disposal fee per tire.

The City of Covington was recently awarded a $250,000 grant by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation to implement a costsaving energy project, which, in addition to saving the city thousands of dollars annually, would turn the city’s wood waste and bio-solids into fuel. Covington was one of 17 statewide community recipients awarded a percentage of more than $2.3 million as a part of the Clean Tennessee Energy Grant. The grant evolved out of a federal court settlement that obligates the Tennessee Valley Authority to provide Tennessee $26.4 million to fund environmental mitigation projects over a five-year period. The purpose of the grant program is to fund projects that would best provide a reduction in emissions and pollutants. The city was one of four communities during the first round to receive the maximum award of $250,000 for its proposed Waste Biomass Gasification to Energy Project. The city’s project would create electricity by using landfill-bound waste to provide a continuous stream of domestically produced energy that is clean, carbon neutral and renewable. It is expected to convert approximately 12 tons per day of the wood and sludge waste collected by the city into electricity.

GUEST OPINION

Call for a 21st century Bill of Rights

The Supreme Court last week upheld Obamacare and found unconstitutional most of Arizona’s immigration law designed to help the federal government do their job in identifying and deporting illegals. As we prepare to celebrate our national independence Wednesday, is it possible that we have lost our state and individual independence for which so many fought and died over 230 years ago? As originally ratified, the U. S. Constitution consisted of 4,618 words (including signatures). There have been 27 amendments to the original document adding less than 3,000 more words. You can place the entire document on a poster on the wall, yet this among the shortest constitutions in the world somehow has led to a system that says Congress has unlimited tax and spending powers, that our federal government can tell us what we can and cannot JIM HARDIN include in public education, and a person cannot go into business without following mountains of rules, overwhelming red tape and exhaustive tax and reporting requirements. The founders of this nation and framers of the Constitution would have declared another war for independence if they had been subjected to such, shall I say, tyranny! It’s time for another revolution, but not one where we take up arms. We need to throw every member out of Congress and the White House who has played a role in this new tyranny. In November, we need to vote the rascals out. Next, we need a movement that would demand a new Constitutional Convention designed to undo the mischief done by the Congress and the Courts over the last 100 years. We need 10 21st Century Bill of Rights such as (Amendments 2837): 28.Congress must pass a two-year budget that is balanced. 29.Congress shall convene and meet in session for no more than six months in each year. When not in session, each member of Congress is expected to live and work in their respective districts, with time off for vacation, weekends and holidays as established by law for all federal employees. 30.Congress cannot increase pay for any federal office holder, appointee or worker while in deficit spending and/or when the nation is faced with economic recession (less than 1 percent annual growth and/or over 6 percent unemployment) 31.The 17th Amendment shall be revoked and all U.S. senators shall be appointed by their state legislatures as originally established. Senate terms shall be extended, but limited, to a single 8-year term. 32.No person shall hold any federal elected office longer than eight years. No person can serve for more than 12 years combined for any federal elected offices (For example, if you served four years in the House of Representatives, you can either serve eight years in the senate or eight years as President). 33.Congress cannot force individuals to make any purchases, or make contributions to any retirement or medical care scheme/system. All monies paid into Social Security retirement will be paid back as scheduled, but citizens will no longer be compelled to pay into the system. States and private organizations can establish retirement and medical care insurance systems as they see fit and the people approve in their respective states. 34.Individual welfare of every kind (housing, food stamps, AFDC, etc.) at the federal level shall be phased out within three years of the passage of this amendment. After that, individual welfare/ charity will be the responsibility of the states and the people as will be minimum wage and unemployment. 35.At least one parent must be a U.S. citizen for a child born in the United States to receive citizenship at birth. 36.All federal judges shall be subject to a popular vote of retention after 12 years in an appointed judgeship. 37.Any federal law concerning the environment and public or worker safety can be overturned if done so by 2/3 or more of the state legislatures. It’s a rough draft, but let me know what you think by emailing me at jimhardin@bellsouth.net. Now, let’s have a revolution in November, regain our independence, and then we’ll discuss this further.

There are hanging baskets on the light posts and several merchants have put out potted plants out in front of their businesses to help beautify the square. I would like to thank Mr. Jere Hadley for his work at helping to keep the square looking good. On his own time during the morning, he walks around the square pulling a garden wagon with a tank of water in it and he waters every pot and basket on and off the square. One morning when he was watering I told him how much I appreciated him watering the plants. As an employee on the square I get to enjoy his labors every day. So next time you come upon the square thank Mr. Jere Hadley and tell him how much you appreciate his work.

of governance known as the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. With the Holy Bible as their spiritual source they hammered out the basics of the “golden rule” and the provision that “my rights end and where your rights begin.” My first awareness of the documents was experienced in a sixth grade play. Our teacher, Mrs. Barnett at Frayser Elementary, assigned parts of the play to her students and we performed for the entire school – on stage! Over 100 people were in attendance to hear us proclaim to Ol’ King George our declaration of independence “from him and the horse he rode in on!” Since the signing of the Declaration we’ve heard many phrases and terms relating to the birth of our nation. Patrick Henry’s “give me liberty or give me death” (I’ll never forget Frank Giatrice, my fellow sixth-grader, shouting these words and the thunderous applause from the audience), “We the People”, “more perfect union,” “the British are coming,” “liberty,” “freedom is not free, “pursuit of happiness,” “Republic for which it stands,” “three branches of government.” That latter phrase attracts my attention and reminds me again of the wisdom of these men. That wisdom implies within the structure of the writings there is a fourth branch of government. Though subtle, it is the final word that directs the course of our Republic. The three popular branches of government are: the executive (president, vice-president, cabinet members), the legislative (House of Representatives and SEE LETTERS, PAGE A5

Ensure safety of seniors in extreme heat Sunny days uplift spirits. But seniors need to take special precautions to make sure their enjoyment of summer is not eclipsed by the pain of sunburn or the harmful effects of dehydration and heat illness. Physical changes that come with aging make older adults more vulnerable to summer’s heat and humidity. The American Geriatrics Society’s Foundation for Health in Aging (FHIA) reports that most of the 200 Americans who die each summer of heatrelated complications are over 50. Seniors become less sensitive to heat and the feeling of thirst as they age. And on top of that, certain medical conditions, such as heart disease, and medications commonly taken by seniors – water pills, allergy and sinus medications, and antidepressants – further increase the risk. FHIA warns that temperatures in the low 90s can be very dangerous to seniors and offers seniors and their caregivers a wide variety of hot weather safety tips Recommendations include: • Turn on the air conditioner or go to an air-conditioned place – senior center, mall, movie theater, or library, for example. Fans are not sufficient. • Stay indoors during excessive heat, and when outside, avoid the sun as much as possible, wear hats and sunglasses, and use SPF 30 or higher sunscreen • Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing • Avoid strenuous activity • Take cool showers, baths, or sponge baths

members or friends check on seniors at least twice a day during a heat wave. Family and professional caregivers can make a special effort to help seniors get enough to drink, as the need for water and non-alcoholic and decaffeinated beverages rises with the temperature. This includes keeping a good variety of beverages on hand and encouraging frequent drinking of smaller quantities as opposed to less frequent drinking of larger quantities. Use the urine test to confirm whether you or a loved one is drinking enough. Light yellow urine is usually a sign that liquid consumption is adequate, while darker urine may signal that more liquid is needed. Beware of Heat Illnesses Overexposure to the heat can lead to a variety of serious health problems. Heat exhaustion is a warning that your body cannot cool itself. Symptoms include thirst, dizziness, weakness, poor coordination, nausea and sweating. Body temperature stays normal, but the skin feels cold and clammy and pulse can be normal or raised. If this is the case, rest in a cool place, drink plenty of fluids and take a cool shower or sponge bath. This condition can turn into heatstroke, so if you do not feel better quickly, seek medical care right away. Heat stroke is life threatening and requires emergency medical help. After calling 911, get the individual to a cool place. Signs of heat stroke include fainting, body temperature above 104° F, confusion, irritableness, staggering, dry, flushed skin, strong, rapid pulse or slow, weak pulse, not sweating, acting delirious or being in a coma.

FHIA also recommends that family

The Civil War and Tipton County May 1862

Compiled By RUSSELL B. BAILEY, Tipton County Historian Trenton On May 20, 1862 Col. William Jackson of the 1st Tennessee Cavalry wrote to General G. T. Beauregard that he had “arrested Major Charles H. Hill and sent him to Corinth.� Hill was charged with seditious conduct and conduct unbecoming of an officer at Union City, “that Hill stated in front of some of the rank and file that the Confederate conscript law was unconstitutional.� Jackson wrote that Hill was opposed to Jackson commanding the Tennessee cavalry: “Hill has almost disorganized the companies under his command and has crippled my operations...� Corinth The following is an excerpt from a letter written by E. Franklin Freeman,

We’ve had a good one too but can’t really say this weather is “all that fantastic�. But we just have to take the good with the bad. That’s what Mom always said! We celebrated a birthday this week, that of Mr. Jim Downs. Happy birthday Mr. Jim, his birthday was July 3rd. We hope you had a grand day! A big thank you goes to True Life Church Youth Group for bringing homemade cookies last Wednesday afternoon for all of our residents. Thank you kids! I’m sure hoping all of you have big plans for the Fourth. We did have until this heat became too intense. It’s just too hot for anyone to be out, much less my residents that are very vulnerable to the heat anyway. I was out in it last Friday for about four hours without drinking anything and I didn’t even realize it had been that long. So we plan on cooking the traditional Fourth of July lunch, but staying inside to eat! Everyone is looking forward to “Christmas in July� this year on the 22nd. We sure hope all the families can make it. Macedonia UMC does a spit-fire job of this event. We appreciate them so very much. They even come and decorate the whole fellowship hall

Also we are in need of a window unit to put in a building where we keep some of our canned goods, ours went out and it is hot in there, although, it’s not as bad as you would think, but it still needs some air. They just don’t make buildings like they used to and this one is an old building! Now, I have a friend that has been coming out and playing Bingo with the residents but something happened to her husband, a broken leg I think the neighbor said, and I do not have her phone number, so if you are reading this Ms. Maxine, PLEASE let me know how things are going with your husband! We miss you terribly! Until next week, this is a saying that was sent to me in an email and it is wonderful, right up my alley! “Be kinder than necessary, because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle!� God Bless! Brother Mike Rogers is our minister and Brother Jeff Phillips our associate minister and youth director. We have several on our prayer list at this time. Please continue to remember these and others. Our youth dept just returned home Friday night. We were so blessed with 14 baptisms and four restorations at camp this year. Jedidiah Phillips and Mallorie Randollph were restored to the church. Jedidiah Phillips and Aaron Stewart both received camper of the week awards and Chloe Dalrymple received the Bible Student of the Week award. We are so blessed to have such an active youth department. Thanks to Brother Jeff Phillips. My grandson Wyatt Houston Barber from Centerville, Tenn. was at this West Kentucky Youth Camp as well and he was also baptized. In closing, I must share the sad news of the passing of my dear friend, Louise Vandergrift on Sunday night July 1.

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. This week’s community school takes us to Centennial Island which was established on March 7, 1876, when a sudden shift in the Mississippi River left a small portion of the county on the west side of the mighty river. Approximately a twohour drive from the rest of Tipton County, today, the island is accessible only by car from Arkansas. Happy Valley School was a one-room schoolhouse located in the Frenchman’s Bayou community on Centennial Island for a short period of time from the mid-1930s to the 1940s. It was an extremely poor school, even for the times and until the last couple of years of the schools existence, the children who attended were taught usually with no books or supplies. Its students were the children of the black farmers and sharecroppers who worked the land. School records still housed at the Tipton County Board of Education include Tennessee School Registers for the years 1934 to 1944. For the term Feb. 13, 1934 to May 11, 1934, the oldest Happy Valley School record book at the board records the school as being a 17’x27’ oneroom, framed building

with an ordinary stove. The school’s teacher, Gennieve Felton, wrote in her record book that the school only had windows for ventilation, the water had to be collected from the river and there were no toilets. The children had no desks or chairs and only had use of four hard benches. She wrote, “There is no playground equipment and only a small place in front of a small school.� She also recorded that there were no blackboard, books, maps, globes, charts, chalk, erasers, brooms, waste buckets, dippers or shovels for the students to use, but there was one clock and one bell to ring to get the children to school on time. Felton wrote that she was born on Dec. 25, 1860 and had been an educator for 29 years at that time. She was paid $25 a month to educate 32 students in grades 1st – 7th. Out of her meager monthly salary, she was required to pay $8.50 a month for room and board for herself and her 77-year-old dependent. She taught just two months during that term as the book shows that school was closed due to floods. Her recommendations for the school included getting two buckets and dippers, a broom, desks, teacher’s desk and chair and a blackboard and erasers. She also wrote, “We need another school or this one enlarged.� School opened back up for the period Oct. 8, 1934 to March 15, 1935, with Gennieve Felton still teaching, but the record book shows a bit of

discrepancy in her age. In this book, Felton is recorded as being born on Oct. 15, 1891 and a teacher for 25 years. She lived in the community in Frenchman’s Bayou

reading, spelling and writing for 15 minutes each, beginning at 8:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. At the end of the 1935 school year, 11 out of 22 students failed.

and was educated at Mt. Pleasant School for her primary years, at Lemoyne for high school and normal school and at Lane College for one month every year for her continuing teacher education. She also attended Arkansas State Teachers College. Felton had also recorded an inconsistency in pay, marking in her school register that she had been paid for the first month ending Nov. 3, 1934, the fourth month ending Feb. 22, 1935 and then at the end of the last month ending Mar.12, 1935 When school began again in February, Ms. Felton had 22 students, ages six to 10 years of age in grades first through sixth. Each grade was grouped with another and that year she taught arithmetic, drawing, English, forestation, geography, U.S. History, music, phys. & hygiene,

Although small, the school did boast a School Improvement Association, consisting of the students. Young Miss Etta Kennedy was the president and Miss Katherine Founders was the secretary. They held six meetings and managed to raise $.60 for the year. Tucked in the school register was a note dated Apr. 18, 1935 from a Mr. W. B. Selman and addressed to the County Superintendant in Covington, Tenn. It read: “Dear Sir, in regard to Gennive Felton (col) teacher here. She taught school until Mar. 15th and had to discontinue school then on account of high water. She has made a good teacher and she has made with her pupils. Also we can see improvements the caraporition [sic] she had with all the colored families on the island in the social and religious work as well as the school.�

Jamestown DarSay Burton Greetings, whew it’s HOT! But as all of us know, this is the way summer is done here in Tennessee. It’s been too hot to go outside during the day. I waited the other day until 3:30 p.m. before going to the store. Well, it was still very hot outside. I rushed in the store and got of there just as quickly! The 4th is supposed to get up to 100º. This girl’s staying inside in the air, if there’s any bar-b-que, it’ll come from a place like Corkey’s or Tops! Jamestown’s bar-b-que event has been cancelled on the 4th due to the heat and with most spending that time with their families; Jamestown Community Health Organization will be brining a lot of other events in the future. The Burton’s, the children of Isiah, Sr. and Willie Mae, will be home on July 14th celebrating Willie Mae’s 90th birthday. Contact Debra Burton Martin and Tyrone Burton (901-476-4172) for further details. Congratulations Willie Mae, whose actual birthday is July 6th. The Burton-Bass-Alston families will be get-

The family vacation went really swell last week for all of my sisters and brothers in Houston, Texas. All ten of us made it doen to Texas, it was truly a blessing for all of us to be together under one roof again. Our youngest sister, Kemel Burton Hodges opened her lovely home to enjoy, which we all did. The children of the late Nehemiah and Josephine Burton realize how good God has been to all of us and all of our families, prayer does change things and we are all witnesses!

Remember, “In every life there’s bound to be lots of fireworks, stay prayed up everyday because you never know when or where they’ll pop!� Until next time.

For the term 19401941, Fannie L. Simpson Woodson was the teacher of the small school. Her register book shows the school was built in 1938 and measured 27’x 20’ and now had two toilets. Ms. Fannie was a widow with three dependents and had 10 years of teaching experience. She had a permanent certificate issued on Aug. 19, 1929 to teach intermediate and high school students. She earned her degree from Straight College and was paid $102 a month to teach 30 students in first through eighth grades. She started her classes at 9 a.m. and ended school at 3:15 p.m. each day. Some of her students were children from the Carter, Williams, Ballard, Colbert, Cole, Dupree, Howard, Jones, Kennedy and Simmons families. At the end of the 160day school term, 12 students were promoted to the next grade. She also wrote in her school report that none of her students lived in homes with electricity. The following year, she included in her end of year report a supplement report of student failure, listing probable causes of student failure as la-

ziness, low vitality, poor health, spoiled at home, undesirable associates, over-age, out of school interests and activities and irregular attendance. She also remarked that of her 26 students, none were expected to attend high school, including her own child, whom she wrote, “failed due to feeling insecure.� The last school register book located at the school board was for the school year 1943-1944. Fannie Woodson was still teaching and had increased in pay, receiving a monthly stipend of $122 to teach 21 students in grades first through fourth. Woodson documented that 4th-grader Clarence Jones, who had finished the previous school year with perfect attendance, failed this school year because of poor attendance and would be retained in the 4th grade. Known Happy Valley teachers included Gennieve Felton, Ruth Marie Richardson and Fannie L. Simpson Woodson. Anyone with additional information on Happy Valley or any Tipton County community school is encouraged to contact Sherri Onorati at The Leader office, 4767116.

COMMENTARY

Three words that will birth revival in America By ZACH COOK Special to The Leader

At times I might shut up the heavens so that no rain falls, or command locusts to devour your crops, or send plagues among you. Then if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:13-14 For those of you that are faithful readers of The Leader and the weekly faith columns, I want to thank you for your devotion to read each week and allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you. God has called all of his children to be faithful witnesses of the truth, God’s Word, and I am thankful for the opportunity to share what God has placed on my heart with you each time I write. Most, if not all of the columns I write, are aimed at the commands of Christ and the gospel that we be the salt and light of the world (Matthew 5:13-16). I write about these things because I believe that God is calling every one of his children in America to repentance in our day and the prayer for my life and the lives of my brothers and sisters in Covington, Tipton County, this region, and our nation is that we would all yield our lives to Him wholeheartedly, repent of our sinfulness, and submit to His call. Scripture has much to say about repentance and the focus of this column is on the three requirements in the context of 2 Chronicles 7:13-14 that will lead to heeding the call to revival in believers’ lives and in the nation we all love. My pastor preached a sermon on this very topic and it was so impactful in my life that I wanted to share it you. The requirements presented here are taken from his sermon. Before I discuss these requirements for revival, we must understand where our hearts are. In verse 13, we see that God blesses rebellious children with

chastisement. You see, it is a blessing for our sake that God rebukes us. God disciplines us His sinful children for our own good and He loves us too much not to discipline us. He may choose to discipline us with drought, disasters, or disease. When we look around our nation today, it is evident that all three of these conditions are present in America. Has God chosen to send drought, disasters, and disease to America to discipline His children? Only God knows, but the signs are all around us. Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline —then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. Hebrews 12:78,11 Verse 14 focuses on the requirements of the call. The first requirement is a call to Humility (If my people who are called by my name, will humble themselves). We are a prideful people. Pride keeps us focused on self and not on God. When pride comes in, God’s anointing leaves you. We must ask the LORD to humble us and remove any arrogance or exalted thoughts of self that would prohibit us from seeking His manifest presence in our lives. 1 Peter 5:5-6 says, Clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE. Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time. Once we are humble before the LORD, he will give us a Hunger for Him and His righteousness (and pray and seek my face).

the deer pants for the water, so my soul longs for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; When shall I come and appear before God? (Psalm 42:1-2). Finally, God calls us to Holiness (and turn from their wicked ways). The call to holiness is a command of God. For I am the LORD your God. Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy as I am holy (Leviticus 11:44). We must ask God to fill us with His Holy Spirit and help us to be a fragrant and pleasing aroma to Him. We must ask Him to create in us clean hands and a pure heart so that we may seek His face. (Psalm 24:3-6). What will happen if and when we heed the call? God will bless repentant children with cleansing (then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and will heal their land). 1. God will hear our prayers. This is the confidence we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him (1 John 5:14-15). 2. God will forgive our sins. In Him, we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace (Ephesians 1:7). 3. God will heal our land. So rejoice, O sons of Zion, And be glad in the LORD your God; For He has given you the early rain for your vindication. And He has poured down for you the rain, The early and latter rain as before (Joel 2:23, read 2:12-32). So let me ask you fellow brother and sister in Christ will you join with me in Humility and Repentance, Hunger for the Lord, and pursue Holiness that will lead to the Healing of our land and revival in our midst? Will our churches unite and cry out for cleansing through God’s Spirit and His divine mercy on our land? O that Jehovah God would pour out His Spirit in our midst, forgive us, awaken us, and revive us! O LORD, send revival, and let it begin in me!

Hearing Loss Often Overlooked, Easy to Detect Chicago, IL – Hearing loss affects 31 million Americans. Still, only 24% of those who need a hearing aid own one. Hearing loss is a condition that, in most cases, develops gradually–many people do not realize they are affected. Fortunately, modern hearing health care has become more aware of the symptoms of hearing loss. This increased awareness has helped millions hear better and enjoy life more.

Ryley Myers attended the Coach Patrick Murphy Softball Camp at the University of Alabama June 20-23. The camp was called Natty Camp 2012 because of the Lady Tide's national championship. Two other teammates from the Lady Wildcats traveling team – Kaylie Carter and Kailey Hunt – attended the camp.

Undetected But Significant Hearing is one of the basic ways we communicate and interact with each other and the environment: Undetected hearing loss can have serious consequences. Children with undetected hearing problems are sometimes misidentified as being mentally challenged or as having learning disabilities. Because speech is normally acquired through repeating what is heard, such children are at an early disadvantage. Their education and development may be stunted by the lack of proper treatment. According to a survey by

H E A L T H

the National Council on the Aging (NCOA), older people with undetected hearing loss are more likely to report depression, anxiety, paranoia, emotional problems and reduced social activity. The survey concluded that seniors who treat their hearing loss have better relationships with

their families, improved mental health, greater independence and stronger feelings of security. Seniors who lose their hearing may experience these common scenarios before discovering their loss. Warning Signs Although hearing loss is a very personal condition, the symptoms of hearing loss are fairly consistent. Hearing Care Practitioners generally ask a series

If a person experiences these warning signs repeatedly or in combination, it may indicate a hearing loss.

The Only Way To Know For Sure Hearing loss itself can be misunderstood. Wax buildup in the ear canal is a common occurrence that adversely affects hearing. Often people assume they have a permanent loss when, in fact, they don’t. A hearing screening and video otoscope inspection (a simple procedure in which a picture of a person’s ear canal is taken) provide an accurate assessment of what you’re hearing and what you’re not. According to one Beltone Practitioner, “When I give someone an otoscope inspection, I often find that simple wax buildup is contributing to their hearing problem.” Testing Is Available To Anyone Beltone offers hearing screenings at all of their 1300 Hearing Care Centers throughout the nation. If you’re interested in a hearing screening, or if you would like to request a free copy of the Gift of Hearing, call Beltone toll-free at 1-855-HEAR-ALL or visit them online at www. beltone.com.
