‘No relief in sight’ for crops, cattle and farmers as extreme drought plagues country
Drought putting damper on crops Production declines as rainfall, heat worsen drought
In 2006 there was the Easter freeze. In 2007, a drought. In 2010 and 2011, devastating floods. This year, however, it's an extreme drought that's ruining crop yields. "I don't know that we've had this level of heat and this lack of rainfall since records have been kept," U.S. Department of Agriculture County Executive Director Phil Coleman said Tuesday. "It's very devastating." Rainfall totals are only half of By ECHO DAY what they should be, totaling eday@covingtonleader.com just short of 17 inches for the year. "We're almost 15½ inches under normal since January," said Action News 5 meteorologist Tim Van Horn.
The average rainfall for this time period is 32.36 inches. "Last year we had 35.18 inches at this time," Van Horn said. The USDA has classified Tipton County – and many counties in the region – as being in extreme drought conditions and conditions are expected to get worse, not better. Though showers have dropped rain over the area all week, it's just not enough to make a difference. No appreciable drought relief is expected in Mid-South and conditions are expected to persist or intensify through the next three months, according to the USDA's Seasonal Drought Outlook.
"There's no relief in sight," Coleman said. "The tenth of an inch that's fallen isn't doing much to help and there's little moisture in the soil." For a county as rich in agricultural tradition as Tipton County, a drought certainly spells disaster. Coleman said commodity prices are at historically high prices but it does no good if there are no crops to sell. He anticipates big losses for local farmers. "Some yield losses will be up to 50 percent," he said. "Some fields could see no yield and some will be an average crop." Soybeans, Coleman said, could have a chance. " … If we get rain and cooler
temperatures in the next 10 days, but every day we go without appreciable rainfall it's harming the soybean yield." Cotton yields are harder to predict right now, he said, but he isn't optimistic. "Some of it doesn't look good at all. I'm not sure (the farmers) will be able to pay off their costs and if the cotton doesn't get some size on it, it won't be profitable." And even if there is a significant rainfall soon, Coleman fears it won't help. "Even if it started raining and we had adequate growing conditions, we don't have time for (crops) to mature. The crop we have now is what we'll harvest." SEE DROUGHT, PAGE A2
Burglars steal $8K from City Hall By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com COVINGTON – It was business as usual at City Hall Friday despite the overnight burglary that left the city's coffers up to $8,000 short. City officials report two individuals were caught on tape taking thousands of dollars each from the safe. "Kinda like a slap in the face to break into a government building, of course we're having burglaries everywhere," said police chief Tim Glass. A window near the drive-thru was broken, said Glass, and the person(s) responsible entered through the narrow opening. Glass reported the money was taken from the safe inside city hall at approximately 3:30 a.m. Friday. It took the pair of suspects less than five minutes to get in and out

with thousands of dollars. "There wasn't any dye or anything like that on the money. I don't believe there's any way to trace it," Glass added. Mayor David Gordon said additional surveillance video from early that morning is being looked at by the Secret Service in Memphis. Hours after the break-in, police found the security camera system dumped in a trash can, he said. Some of the video was damaged. Police say if the building had an alarm system, it was not activated. "We want to make sure they secure the vault every night. They were thinking it was secure and apparently it wasn't," Glass said. Glass said this is the first time in his 34-year career that someone has broken into city hall. He says burglary cases like this are popping up all over West Tennessee.
Election Day is today By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Tipton County administrator of elections Neil Bell and his staff were busy Wednesday morning, less than 24 hours before election day Thursday. “Calm?” Bell joked when asked if things had calmed down around the office since early voting ended last Saturday. “What calm?” Early voting began July 13 and approximately 4,200 (including absentee votes) Tipton County voters took advantage at the TipSEE ELECTION, PAGE A2

"People are losing their jobs, being laid off. I think the economy has some part of this," he continues. Chief Glass says since this break-in, Covington officials are looking at improving their security system and installing an alarm. The burglary is still under investigation. No arrests have yet been
made. Persons with information are asked to call the Covington Police Department at 901-475-1261 or leave an anonymous tip at 901-476-9036. Police say a cash reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of the persons responsible for this burglary.

ton County Election Commission in Covington and the satellite office in Munford. “That's a fair amount higher,” Bell said. “I can't say how much, but it's higher than it was two years ago.” Several races of interest will be on the ballot today, including local positions like property assessor, school board and county commissioner. The republican and democratic primaries for the seat in the redrawn 81st Tennessee House of Representatives district will also be on the ballot. Citizens will also be able to vote in U.S. Senate and Congress primaries. The polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. today. Per a new law, voters are required to bring a photo ID to the polls. Bell also said he is reminding voters to go to their precincts, not the election commission, which will not be open for voting today. “Be sure you go to your polling place,” Bell said. “A lot of people always show up at the election commission and down in Munford. If you have any questions where to vote, give us a call.” The election commission's number is 476-0223. More information is available at tiptonco.com/Depts_ ElectionCommission. The Leader will be posting election results on Facebook as well as on our website, www.covingtonleader. com.
DROUGHT Continued from A1
Crops aren't the only thing affected by the drought. Lack of appreciable rainfall means a lack of grass and hay to feed livestock and poultry which, in turn, reduces production from these animals as well. Some farmers are selling cattle because they can no longer afford to feed them. Nationwide, prices for dairy, poultry and beef are expected to rise. Locally, the economy could suffer as losses for farmers mean those families will cut spending. The effects of the drought trickle all the way down to public school students because half of sales tax collections in this county are put right back into Tipton County schools. It also means low water levels for ponds, streams and rivers. On Wednesday, the Mississippi River measured -4.36 feet; flood stage in this area is 34 feet and last year's flooding nearly surpassed
the 48.7-foot record set in 1937. At Rialto, north of Covington, the Hatchie River measured 2.35 feet; its flood stage is 20 feet and was also surpassed during last year's flooding. Last month, Tipton County became one of many counties in the Mid-South declared a disaster area due to the extreme drought that has plagued more than half of the nation as of Wednesday. USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack announced new drought assistance programs this week, one of which will allow farming families an extra 30 days to make payments without incurring interest penalties on unpaid premiums. "President Obama and I will continue to take swift action to get help to America's farmers and ranchers through this difficult time," said Vilsack. "The assistance announced today will help U.S. livestock producers dealing with climbing feed prices, critical shortages of hay and deteriorating

Tractor Supply to host grand opening The new Covington, Tenn., Tractor Supply Company store will hold its grand opening on Saturday, Aug. 4, with specially priced merchandise Aug. 2 – 5, according to Store Manager Jeremy King. The store officially opened for business last week. The Covington location is Tractor Supply Company’s 64th store in Tennessee and employs 13 team members. The facility has 21,863 square feet, including sales floor and support service space. Tractor Supply Company is the largest retail farm and ranch supply store chain in the United States and has been operating in Tennessee since 1959. “Covington is a great location for Tractor Supply Company because it’s a welcoming, close-knit community, and our products fit the lifestyle of area residents,” said King. “Community members are looking for a loyal, steady business, and we’re here to provide them with that.

finishing his business management degree at the University of Tennessee-Martin. The Hollow Rock native grew up working on small farms in the area. He enjoys bow hunting and fishing. He and his wife are expecting their first child in November. As store manager, King oversees all store operations, including receiving, inventory control and merchandising, as well as customer and team member relations. To celebrate the grand opening of the store, shoppers will receive 10 percent off their first purchase, up to $100, from Aug. 2 – 5, and can enter to win prizes including store gift cards, pet feed, clothing, power tools, a lawn tractor and a chain saw.

Continued from A2 This is the first year the volunteer civic organization has collected uniform items, which will be used by students who attend Covington Integrated Arts Academy. “We’ve had quite a few requests for assistance with uniforms this year,” said JA president Christie Jarvis. “CIAA keeps a clothes closet for children who may need specific uniform items.” School supplies and clothes may be dropped off at any time before Aug. 4 at First State Bank in Atoka, Bancorp South in Covington or Atoka Fitness Center in Atoka. Last year’s successful Stuff the Bus event enabled the Junior Auxiliary to help approximately 100 students start the school year off right with the supplies they needed. As in years past, the JA’s annual Stuff the Bus event coincides with the state’s tax-free weekend. “We like helping the children of Tipton County have the proper tools to do what they need to do,” said Jarvis. “We don’t feel the teachers should have to buy all of the supplies needed for their classes. This is a way we can help the students, parents and teachers start off the year on the right foot.” Junior Auxiliary of Tipton County, Inc. is a volunteer organization, which has been helping Tipton County families for more than 36 years. The non-profit organization strives to meet the needs of children, youth and family and their primary emphasis focuses on enhancing the lives of children.

Olympics are confusing, but inspiring I consider myself a fairly knowledgeable sports fan. After all, being the sports editor of the largest paper in Tipton County (Yes, I know there’s only one. It’s my attempt at humor.), it’s kind of my job to know the difference between a squeeze bunt and a sacrifice bunt and that someone named Jim can be a mike linebacker. I can tell you what years the Covington football team has made the state finals (1971, 2000 and 2003) and the name of the first Brighton High School football coach when the school opened in 1996 (Don Garner). There are so many players’ names in my head that sometimes I have trouble remembering my own children’s names. I say all that to say this: The Olympics are confusing, but inspiring nonetheless. If I got kicked in the face by a guy in belted pajamas, I couldn’t tell you whether the guy was on the judo or taekwondo team. If there were TOTAL CONSCIOUSNESS cleat marks left on my face, I J EFF IRELAND would assume it was a soccer player, although I believe field hockey players also wear cleats. There was some sort of badminton controversy the other day and some players were disqualified. My first thought was that perhaps somebody dropped their beer while playing and got the shuttlecock wet, because that’s how most of the badminton games I have been involved in have gone. You probably weren’t aware that trampoline is an official Olympic sport. I think hopscotch and croquet are being suggested for 2016. Don’t even get me started on synchronized swimming. All I know about that sport is what I learned from the caddy-day-at-the-pool scene in “Caddyshack,” which is, for my money, the best sports/comedy movie ever made. Nevertheless, I found myself watching the Olympics this week. While I didn’t understand everything I saw, I was thoroughly entertained. The signature event of this Olympics, as is always the case, is women’s gymnastics, and it’s been compelling. After Jordyn Wieber didn’t qualify for the allaround event but then earned gold in the team event, I experienced unexpected chill bumps. Swimmer Michael Phelps set the all-time Olympic record with his 19th medal, and I was impressed. The dedication it takes to be the best at a sport for eight years is certainly inspiring. Watching the men’s basketball team demolish hapless teams from countries I’ve vaguely heard of makes feel good that I live in a country that is far and away the best at something. So, if you get a chance, tune in. At a time when the country is going through some problems, it’s an excellent chance to experience some good old-fashioned patriotism.

FLASHBACK
He was broadcasting from the “mezzanine floor” at Hotel Chisca, and he would call it the “magazine floor”, hollering into the microphone with “day-gaw”, and singing along with records. He couldn’t sing, but no one cared, as he was having a ball, and we loved it. He’d come out with, ‘if you can’t drink it, freeze it and eat it.” “Get yo’self a wheelbarrow load of monkeys, run ’em through the front door, and tell ’em Phillips sent ’che from RED, HOT and BLUE.” Folks would go in a business and tell ’em, “Phillips sent me.” A sign of the times. Everyone knows Phillips was the first to play Elvis’ record and he’d play it six, eight, ten times straight, over and over. This shot Dewey even higher up the ladder of popularity, because at this time he was the only one that would play Elvis. ‘That’s Alright, Mama’ was not country, pop, or rhythm and blues, and didn’t fall in a certain category so none of the other stations would touch it. But Dewey spun what listeners loved. Dewey would scream into the microphone, “this is the hottest cotton picking record in the country, it’s a hit, ‘day-gaw’. Southern memories of the greatest DJ…Glory!
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Thanks to community
Thesse photos were purchased at an estate sale for Mary Fred Cullum for 25 cents each. Anybody who can identify the picture can contact Mavis Lumpkin.
This is a big thank you for those who sponsored a car wash for our Brighton and Covington Dixie Majors all-star teams. We loaded up our boys and one girl, which, by the way, she is the first girl to play in a Dixie Major state tournament – Go Jamie Tindall. We went to Dickson, Tenn., for the state championship Dixie Baseball tournaments. Least to say, we are not going to the world series, but we had a great time, minus the rain. We had three teams from Tipton County: two from Brighton Dixie Majors and one team from Covington Dixie Majors, from the age group of 15-19-year-olds. Also as a parent and a coach, and the district director over the Dixie Majors, I’m very proud to to have taken three teams to state. So this year to help raise money for our parents’ expenses, we had car washes. This was a fun time for our Dixie Major ballplayers and their parents to step away from the stress of practices and just let loose. We all had a blast. And for that, our families of Tipton County Majors would like to thank the following: The Guard Armory (thanks SFC. Dyer and S.S. Keith Lewis), Exxon gas station-Crosstown, Gookins Floor Store (thanks Moe), Daly Automotive (thanks Jeff and Tracy), Gateway Tire-Covington (thanks Jay-Jay), BP (thanks Linda), Fastimes-Covington (thanks Rick) and Fastimes-Hwy. 14 (thanks Roger).

So if you now have total control over an investment portfolio, you need to make sure it reflects your needs and preferences. Consequently, you may need to “rebalance” your holdings. • Above all, get some help. As mentioned above, now is a good time to meet with a financial advisor. And if you don’t have much experience in managing your finances, you may even find it helpful to work with a trust company, which can collaborate with your financial provider to manage your assets and also provide a variety of other functions, including bill payment and record keeping. A trust company’s services can prove especially valuable to you and your family should you ever become incapacitated. Unfortunately, a divorce may leave you feeling “at sea” in many areas of your life. But by following the above suggestions, you can at least help keep your financial ship in calmer waters.

The staff and service recipients are watching a DVD of “The Three Stooges” in the front room and have been doing devotions in the front room Monday through Friday.

Hello Brighton Debe Simonton friends, relief to some degree with the rain! At least with my yard that was screaming with thirst. We handle most of the thirsty plants but when it comes to the yard... well, our water bill is quiet high enough! The Brighton Band did well in their performance at Meet the Band. It is a fun show this year, with tunes from the late 70’s disco era. So if you were a part of that time period or even listen to your parents or children’s music, it will fun to reflect on that time period. School will be starting back this next week. I was talking to Danielle and the boys started back on July 30. Now unless you are in a year round program, I think that is just too early! We are early enough, especially since Neal and I have two seniors this year. Connor is enrolled at U of M. Brenna will be
Elm Grove Tula Starr We had a great trip to Georgia. We visited with our families, those that we have left. There was six children in Marshall’s family. He only has two sisters left. I have one sister and she is sickly. Marshall has been to the methodist camp ground every year of his life. Except when he was in the military for two years. This camp ground is 150 years old. We had a family dinner on Saturday. We had 35 people to eat with us. It was so good to see everyone. We had to go thru Atlanta. There was six lanes of traffic and you had to go 80 miles per hour to keep from getting run over. We had to come back thru Atlanta and it was the same way. We were so thankful to get thru that big city back home to Elm Grove Road. We have several tall sun flowers in our back yard. Yesterday, I saw a squirrel climb the sunflower stalk and get a sunflower in his mouth and was taking it back to his nest, I guess. I walked out of the house and he dropped the sun flower on the ground. I went back out to the yard later and the sunflower bloom was gone. I suppose he took it back to his nest. We have a skinny 20inch cedar tree growing under our pink crepe myrtle tree. As the flowers drop off the tree, they fall on the cedar... so, we have a decorate Christmas tree in my flower bed. It is so pretty. Last week we went out to our old home in Randolph. It is now a state park. They have covered the left side of the “A” frame home with solar panels. Early this year the front yard dropped down about 3 feet. They have not done anything about it. It made us sad to see that they are not taking care of it. We are so thankful for all our families in Georgia. It was so good to see a part of our extended family. Love and prayers.

We also have been working on our outcomes here at the center. They also watched a DVD of “The Apple Dumpling Gang” in the front room. We are also watching a DVD called “Short Circuit.” Staff and service recipients are in the front doing exercises and devotion in the front room Monday through Friday. Staff and service recipients went to the nursing home to pass out get
well cards and visit with the patients. Afterwards we went to Bartlett Park for a picnic. My mother and I went to see the movie “Amazing Grace” this past weekend at our church when we had our spaghetti dinner last Saturday evening. It was sponsored by the Brighton ARP Men’s Ministry.

Neal and I went over to Staci and CH’s Saturday. I went out to
the garden and picked so many tomatoes that my bag was about to explode. I also got cucumbers, squash, banana peppers and eggplant. The plants are still loaded down. If you know the family well and want to pick, they might let you in their garden. But shhhh... you didn’t hear that from me! And please make sure you call them first or their scarecrow just might get you! Simonton Salon is excited to welcome one of our salon family members back in September! Miss Callie Rickard will be joining us to fulfill all you hand and feet needs, or your ‘dazzling digits’ as she calls them.

The Civil War and Tipton County June 1862 Compiled by RUSSELL B. BAILEY Tipton County Historian “We have Forts’ Pillow and Randolph, and Memphis!” Abraham Lincoln to Gen. G. B. McClellan, June 7, 1862 Confederate Gen. Jeff Thompson had wanted to defend Randolph against the Union naval advance down the Mississippi. He wrote: “The evacuation of Fort Pillow was, from all accounts… orderly conducted… the circumstances which may have caused the evacuation of Pillow did not surround Fort Randolph… I am satisfied that, even with the few troops that were at Pillow, Randolph could have been held for several days, with a sure and safe retreat when necessary, if ever.” Two Confederate boats left Randolph before dawn of the 5th. Three Union Rams led by Colonel Charles Ellet Jr. left Fort Pillow after daylight en route for Fulton and Randolph. Two 24-pounder siege cannon mounted and loaded were seen at Fulton. The undamaged guns were later taken on board the ships. The Federals arrived at Randolph early on the morning on June 5th. Lieutenant-Colonel Alfred Ellet of the Ram fleet went ashore with a flag of truce to demand the surrender of the place. Seven disabled cannon were found. A few civilians were on hand to greet the Federals. They learned that the Confederates had left during the night “after destroying their artillery, burning a good deal of cotton and doing what other mischief they could…” Ellet planted the U. S. flag from a warehouse building and exacted from the citizens a pledge to “respect the flag.” The inhabitants “expressed a desire for the restoration of the old order of things, though still professing to be secessionists.” A Northern newspaper added: “On the summit of the bluff are extensive field works, similar to those at Fort Pillow, most of them erected in 1861… In a long subterranean passage were several openings to the surface, at one of which your correspondent found several soldiers grouped, greatly amused at the echo of their voices as they shouted down the aperture… Randolph… is the first high ground above Memphis… all the intervening country being low bottom land and swamps… cotton is the only product of this low country, and the plantations scattered along the river, and environed with groves of rich green foliage of a Southern climate present a highly picturesque appearance.” The U. S. Gunboat Pittsburg, transport Mound City and a company of Indiana infantry remained at Fort Pillow. The rest of the flotilla steamed toward Memphis. Officers on the Corondelet passed Randolph at 1:30 p.m., noting “the Union flag was flying there.” On June 6, the Confederate Defense Fleet was destroyed by Union ships in the Battle of Memphis. Confederate commanders’ General Jeff Thompson and James E. Montgomery escaped. On June 9, two deserters of Gen. Jeff Thompson’s command, crossed the Hatchie River and turned themselves in to Union authorities at Fort Pillow. They reported a Confederate army steamboat lying on the bank of the Hatchie River where they crossed. The ship was the B. M. Moore, allegedly owned by William Turner, deceased, of Lauderdale County. The vessel had been used for scouting and transporting troops and munitions between Randolph and Pillow. The lightly built boat was a double side-wheel steamer, 81 feet extreme length on deck, 17 ½ feet beam, 4 feet, 2 inches hold and was in “good repair.” Louisiana soldiers were reported in Tipton County. A deserter from the regiment arrived at the fort and claimed to have been a resident of Fulton.

Wherefore art thou Romeo?... At the Ruffin! By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com Many have heard the familiar tale of William Shakespeare’s tragic love story of “Romeo and Juliet,” and some may have had to read the story while in high school. There have even been several variations of the classic work of art produced through the years as a movie. But, if you’ve never seen it live on stage, you’ve been missing out. This weekend, “Romeo and Juliet,” directed by Cozset Jones, opens at the historic Ruffin Theater. The timeless story of love and betrayal has been adapted for the modern theater patron. Except for a few of the more famous scenes which will be spoken in Shakespearean English, Jones has chosen to modify the story of the love struck teenagers and present it in modern English for all to enjoy. Aevar Jonsson and Leah Watkins will play the title characters of Romeo and Juliet. Jay Davis plays the silver-tongued Mercutio, bringing a wonderful comic relief to underscore the seriousness of the play. Hunter Short’s portrayal of Tybalt is well done and he presents
very dramatic fight scenes. No stranger to the Ruffin stage, Aric Delashmit finds the heart of Friar Laurence and Lena Boyd makes a wonderful debut as Nurse. Additional cast members include Chase Day as Benvolio, Tori Bolkcom as Pertucio, Frank Deslauriers as Lord Capulet, Lacy Cothran as Narrator and Rosaline, Linda Gail Boyd as Lady Montague, Grace Guetschow as servant and Becky Wauford as Gregory and second watchman.

Canning Safely Mt. Carmel Elaine Watkins Back after two weeks! First week I was in Florida watching Lyla chase sea gulls down the beach, hollering, “Chicken! Chicken!” Had a great time. Last week, for some reason my column didn’t get in, so I’m catching up. This week’s Farm Report: Got four-tenths inch of rain Thursday night, with a lot of lightning and thunder. Got a trace last night, with lots of lightning and thunder. Beans are looking good and corn has made. As a matter of fact, corn is being shelled. James said he’s never seen corn shelled in July! Cotton is blooming everywhere! More rain forecasted this week. We’re all getting ready for the big wedding this weekend! Rachel had a really nice shower last Sunday at the Covington Church of Christ, and made me want to throw all my mismatched dishes away and get new ones. Saturday is the big day and I’m just going to look for a dress today! My great aunt Helen Harrington, 97, from Jasper, Tenn., went to Kentucky last week to visit my 101-yearold grandmother, her sister. We were ready to up on Wednesday but after one night, she got up and said she was ready to go home. She was supposed to stay four or five nights. I had cousins up there that didn’t even get to see her! Andy Whaley hasn’t been feeling well, nor has Paulette Graham. I think both of these are on the mend. Jeff Hanks is having surgery this month and Gene Brown, Debbie Otts’ dad, has been in the hospital with pneumonia. All these, and so many more, are in my prayers, along with all our servicemen and women and voters. My sympathy is extended to Tim Scott in the death of his sister, Sandy Dagastino. That family has my prayers. Happy Birthday this week goes to Lisa Johnson on July 29th, to Ann Huggins, Dustin Pinner and Linda Grant on the 30th, to Kristin Sallee and Courtney Gurley on the 31st, to Paulette Graham on August 2nd and to Meghan Nolan on the 4th! This from Marion Davis: The men at Clopton United Methodist Church will have their monthly community breakfast on Saturday, Aug. 4, from 7 to 9:30 a.m. at the church, 5285 Brighton-Clopton Road. All the proceeds from the breakfast will go to the church’s building fund and will be matched, dollar for dollar, by several anonymous donors. And this from Mack Easley, who keeps us all up on the Byars-Hall Alumni Group: The BHHS Alumni Group will have a reception on the lawn of the Covington Country Club at 4 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 21. All classes through 1970 are urged to attend and have fellowship with old classmates. On Saturday, we will have the Chamber Center available for viewing BHHS memorabilia, enjoy refreshments and visit more with former classmates who come into town for Heritage Day that weekend. This week’s Farmer’s Almanac quote: “August’s birthstone, the peridot, symbolizes strength.” I would appreciate your vote in The Leader’s “Best of the Best”! Until next week . . .
The Tipton County UT Extension office will offer a Canning Safely class on Thursday, Aug. 9 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at the First united Methodist Church in Covington, 145 West Church Ave. The fee is $20 per person and includes a canning and freezing booklet and canned foods.

2105 Highway 59 South, Covington, TN Former pastors and community leaders will be present to help us dedicate our new building. Former Pastors Include: Buddy Boston, Bog Agee, Baylon Hillard, Bill Northcott and Jimmy Sartain

Chick-Fil-A stance creates controversy When Dan Cathy, Chick-Fil-A’s President, explained that he still supported traditional marriage between a man and a woman, everyone had a reaction. Liberals and those who support what they call “marriage equality” called for a boycott of all these restaurants. I guess they were surprised. Conservatives and those who favor the Biblical definition of marriage were impressed by the straight-talking boldness seldom found in public discourse these days. But, they were not totally surprised. The founder, Truett Cathy, made no bones about his Christian faith. It was so public, in fact, that he did not allow his privately owned company restaurants to be
open on Sunday.
David Peel Peel Law Firm When the Baptist Press asked if he supported traditional, Biblical marriage, Cathy answered, “Guilty as charged.” He continued, “Thank the Lord, we live in a country where we can share our values and operate
on biblical principles.” That was it. No namecalling, no discrimination. He was asked about his personal religious beliefs. Personal. But those apparently do not measure up in the paragon of inclusion that is Boston, Massachusetts. Boston Mayor, Tom Menino, told the Boston Globe, “You can’t have a business in the City of Boston that discriminates against a population. We’re an open city. We’re a city that’s at the forefront of inclusion.” I am sorry, how exactly is anyone discriminating? He states this is his personal view. We used to be able to do that in this country! Remember the First Amendment? He has two rights relevant herein:
1. The right to free speech. 2. The right to his religious beliefs. Regardless of how you may come down on this controversial issue, it is interesting that the most “tolerant” crown in favor of “diversity” seems to be only tolerant of those who agree with them! As for me, I admire a man who stands up for what he believes, regardless of the cost. Do you?

Pursuing a dream
Williams drawing attention on national baseball scene By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com For a lot of high school students, summer is a time for rest and relaxation. That's not the case for Covington High School senior Carlos Williams. This week he's in Syracuse, N.Y., at the East Coast Pro baseball showcase, an event that involves six Major League Baseball organizations working out 96 of the top class of 2013 baseball prospects in the country. Earlier this month he spent four days at the Under Armour Showcase in Chicago. Back in June he was in Minneapolis for the Perfect Game USA showcase, which invited 240 of the top seniors in the country. Williams, who helped the Charger baseball team to the state tournament last spring and is also a star tailback on the football team, made some waves at Perfect Game, which was held in the Metrodome. He ran the 60-yard dash, a common measuring stick for baseball prospects, in 6.18 seconds. Officials there said the time was the third best time ever recorded. “By far,” Williams said when asked if the competition he faced in Minneapolis was the toughest he has seen. “It was good for me being around better competition, seeing where I am compared to the other top-ranked players around the country … I haven't ever seen
pitching like that. I think I adjusted real good to it. I hit the ball when I had to.” All three of the events Williams has taken part in this summer were attended by professional baseball scouts and college recruiters. At Perfect Game all 30 major league teams were represented as well as 150 colleges. Covington baseball coach David Sage has attended the showcases with Williams. Sage said he has been told that Williams is projected as going somewhere between the second and 10th rounds of next June's draft. “They like his athleticism,” Sage said. “Everybody's got room to improve at this level. Not just him, but everybody
… They said his speed, his athleticism. That's the main thing they like.” Playing centerfield and hitting leadoff as a junior last year, Williams led the state in runs scored (65), stolen bases (63) and hit by pitches (27) and was fifth in hits (62) and walks (30) while hitting .508. When Williams wasn't attending showcases he was playing for Dulin's summer team, traveling all around the Southeast for tournaments.

Chiefs getting fall season cranked up By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com
In 15 days, all three Tipton County high school football teams will hit the field for the beginning of the 2012 season. For the fans watching those football players – and cheerleaders – perform, there's no doubt they will see several athletes who got their start with the Tipton County Chiefs, the county's primary youth football, track and cheerleading organization since 1974. “The program is outstanding training to prepare our children for the local middle school and freshmen team programs,” said Kenny Hall, the organization's director. “We teach teamwork, fundamentals, self discipline and how to have fun.” The Chiefs are one of 13 organizations operating under the umbrella of Shelby Youth Sports, which has programs in Shelby, Fayette and Haywood counties. Children ages 5-14 are eligible to participate. Sign-ups for football ($235 plus equip-
ment) and cheerleading ($415) are going on today and tomorrow (6:30-8:30 p.m.) and Saturday (10 a.m.-noon) at Poplar Park in Munford. A birth certificate copy and current photo are required. Track is in the spring. Games are held every Saturday starting Aug. 25. Home games are at Poplar Park. Last summer the organization's volunteers began overhauling the football stadium. The bleachers and the railing that surrounds the field have both been rebuilt, the electronic scoreboard has been revamped and the field itself has been upgraded. Fundraising is an ongoing process for the Chiefs. Businesses or individuals can purchase 3x4 banners displayed at the field for $100. For more information on the Chiefs, log on to www.leaguelineup.com/tiptoncountychiefs, or e-mail Hall at hall1335@bellsouth.net.

Chloe Cooper of the Manta Rays swims her way to first place in the 50-meter breast stroke last week as her team finished the season with a sixth-place finish in the regional tournament. They competed as one of the smaller teams, entering only 17 swimmers into the event. There were over 400 swimmers, making up 14 individual teams and 1,000 entries in the regional event. In some events there were up to 60 swimmers competing in the same age division. Cullen Schwarz received the first runner-up trophy for the boys 13-14 division, placing second in the region. Katie DeSalvo took home the gold in the girls 13-14 division, placing first in the region. All of the competing swimmers that represented the Manta Rays placed in the top 16 in their individual events. Courtesy photo

WILLIAMS
Continued from A12 Ole Miss, hasn't decided whether or not he's going to take the college or professional rout. “I haven't really made up my mind yet,” Williams said. “There's always going to be people telling you what to do or where to go … what they think you should do. But it's always going to be what I want to do and what my parents think is best for me.” On the gridiron, Williams led Covington in rushing as a sophomore
before missing all but two games last year with an injury. There are some Charger fans out there who wonder why Williams has chosen baseball over football as his post-high school path. “I'd pick major league centerfielder,” Williams said when asked if his dream profession would be in MLB or the NFL, “just because of the stress on my body. I love baseball. That's why I think I'm better at it.”

TCAP results show schools on track By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com Tipton County students continue to improve academically and the 2012 district-wide scores for Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) and End of Course exams released last Thursday prove that. The Tennessee Board of Education reports that nearly all of the state’s 136 districts saw proficiency levels increase. More than 50 districts saw doubledigit increases in Algebra I and II, including Tipton County. “The continued success of students is a testament to how much work Tennessee teachers have done in the classroom,” said Haslam. “We’ve raised the bar in Tennessee. We’ve asked more of teachers, and we’ve asked more of students, and quite frankly I am here to say thank you to both groups.” Tipton County students scored above the state average in every subject tested. In grades 3-8, county
students increased their scores in all subjects tested by an average of four points over last year’s numbers. In English, students earned 3.7 points higher than last year’s test results, scoring a 52 in reading and language and higher than the state average of 49.9 In mathematics, they scored a 50.5, three points higher than the state average of 47.3 and 3.6 points higher than they scored last year. Science scores saw the largest increase in grades 3-8 with an increase of 6.3 over last year’s scores, earning a 63.6 over the state’s average of 60.5 In social studies, students earned an 84, 1.1 points over the state average of 82.9 and 2.4 points higher than Tipton County scored in 2011. The county’s high school students scored just as well on their tests.

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.
Garland (part 1) Garland School, also sometimes known as Garland High School, was one of Tipton County’s longest continuous use community schools located in the northwest part of the county. Its doors were open from at least 1911 until it was closed permanently at the end of the 1982 school year with the opening of the now familiar county schools. Board of Education records are plentiful with Garland, covering the years 1922 until 1982, holding a wealth of information about the school, its teachers and its students. Using the earliest record available, Garland was a framed three-room schoolhouse, erected in 1913. Its students were warmed with an ordinary stove and cooled by its windows The classrooms in the earliest school measured 660, 660 and 540 square feet. Students had use of a paper blackboard, which hung 48 inches off the ground and used double
patent seats as their desks. dents who ranged from ell and Shankle. Students The school was located on 13-19 years of age.

DSCC invites students to come visit! During August, Dyersburg State Community College is giving its new students a sneak peek into life at DSCC through a series of open houses. “All our new students are encouraged to visit the DSCC campus and/or centers during the Open Houses. These events are designed to help those who are coming to college for the first time, or returning after a break in their education, have a stress-free start to college,” said Andrea Franckowiak, coordinator of New Orientation/Pre-term Skill Builder Program. “Whether you attended a Summer FOCUS session or not, this is your chance to get ready for the start of classes this fall!” At Open House, students will be able to: meet instructors, find their classrooms, attend workshops, enjoy music and food, meet returning students, learn about student life and student organizations and ask questions and get answers. The 2012 Fall Open House schedule is:
included Alma Sue Peeler, Gladys Peterson and Susie Faulk. Miss Alma Sue was in her seventh year as a teacher at Garland, beginning her teaching career at the school. She taught grades 1st and 2nd and had 43 students, ages 5-11-years old. As a woman, she earned considerably less than her male-counterparts, earning just $75 a month but still required to pay the $20 a month fee for room and board. She was a 1923 graduate of Byars-Hall High School in Covington and went on to attend normal school, earning her teaching certificate #2370, which was issued on May 23, 1929. During that school year, one of her students was 6-year old first grader Ivo Shankle, son of Will Shankle. He did very well in school for his first year, earning high marks in spelling and ending the year with a 90 average. He was promoted to second grade. The history of Garland School will continue next week. Anyone with additional information or pictures on Jamestown/ Bright Hill or any Tipton County community school is encouraged to contact Sherri Onorati at The Leader office, 476-7116.

COMMENTARY
To sin or not to sin, that is the question By EMILY PEYTON COOK Special to The Leader Every moment my inner heart is saying No to the God of the universe – I am saying Yes to the enemy of my soul. We are always saying yes to Someone. –Ann Voskamp Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit. So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God’s laws, and it never will. That’s why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God. But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all.) Romans 8:5-9 From the beginning the enemy has been questioning the authority of God’s word and twisting it into something it is not. He said to Eve in Genesis 3:1, “Indeed, has God said?” A few weeks ago, I took a stand against sin with a facebook post that opened up a can of worms and uncovered the crafty serpent at work convincing women in the church that it is o.k. to choose to sin as long as they carry Jesus name. I stood up against the consumption of “Mommy Porn” that is running through our churches in the form of a movie and #1 best-selling book series. These media choices are not only being consumed, but paraded and celebrated publicly with no shame in the choice to sin. In my post, I defended the power of the Holy Spirit within the believer to make the right choice when tempted and gave examples of how the Holy Spirit has worked within my own life to help me flee from sin. I was misunderstood, labeled judgmental, and made to feel as if I was the one in the wrong for standing up for what is right. Six women that I know of repented to God for their actions. The ridicule I experienced would have been worth it if no one repented since I was only being obedient to please God by proclaiming the truth. Since then, I have been searching for answers
and seeking the LORD on the matters of sin and grace. I’ve determined the movie and the book are not our problem. Sin is our problem. These very public manifestations of sin are just a symptom of the moral decline within the church. When church members are spending more time defending our sin and why we have a right to do so than defending the gospel, we must look at our hearts and realize repentance is needed or maybe salvation never truly took place within the church member in the first place. If the sinful nature is always hostile to God, then why do we have so many in our churches choosing sinful lifestyles? A heart divided against Him cannot stand. -Voskamp 2 Chronicles 7:13-14 says, “When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, 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 I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.” We are in the middle of a local drought, one that was featured on the national news just last week. We have pestilence. We have cancer, plaguing people we know from children to elderly. We have broken homes, broken hearts and broken lives. When will we call sin, sin? When will we repent individually? When will we turn from sin and choose to live in the Light? When will we repent corporately? According to 2 Chronicles 7, that’s when God will hear our cries from heaven, forgive our sin and heal our land. His grace is enough to cover all of our sins and past failures. His grace is also enough to keep us from stumbling. The enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy and Christ has come to give life and redeem the broken. He came to free us from the bondage of sin, give us abundant life here on earth and eternal life in heaven. Abundant life is lived out on the narrow road, not the broad road. Will you ask God to search your heart today, repent, and turn back to Christ? He will make all things

new. Sin manifests itself in different ways in each of our lives. That is why it is so important to stay in God’s word and remain in close fellowship with Him so we can hear His whisper when He tells us to stay away from danger in the form of sin. Satan has the same tricks he used with Eve and makes us question the word of God and so that we will fall into temptation. It’s never worth it. Sin is a big deal, no matter how big or small, it always carries consequence and we can’t choose the consequence. We should not treat sin so flippantly. According to Romans 8, if there is no battle between flesh and Spirit within you, then the Spirit is not in you. If you are not convicted by sin, then the Spirit is not in you. Romans 8:9 says, And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all. If you do not belong to Him, He will one day say to you, “Depart, for I never knew you” and you will spend eternity in hell. The judgment is coming and each of us, whether we believe or not, will sit eye to eye with Christ and to be accepted into heaven, we must possess the Holy Spirit which is our righteousness. Have you repented of your sins? Have you prayed and asked Jesus to save you from eternity apart from Him? Have you not only accepted that salvation, but made Him Lord of your life? Is your life transformed from what it was before you met Jesus or do you still look outwardly the same? Christianity should look nothing like the world and everything like Jesus. We should look so different and so “set apart,” at peace, and full of joy that the world couldn’t help noticing that something was different and we were supernaturally changed. We should be transformed from the inside out, a new creation, sanctified and ready to serve. May God’s grace, blessing and peace abound to you in the name of Jesus Christ.
