Riding for Freedom

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com The trial of Ricky Bell Jr., who is accused of raping and murdering Starr Harris in June of 2010 in Drummonds, began with jury selection and opening statements on Monday and witnesses on Tuesday and Wednes at the Tipton County Justice Center.

A jury (which includes two alternates) of 10 white men, three white women and one African-American woman is being sequestered for the duration of the trial, which is expected to last as long as five days.

Community rallies behind wounded marine

By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com MUNFORD – Benefit organizers weren’t expecting the amount of riders that they had. They thought they might reach anywhere from 250 to 500 riders but what they got when the bikes started rolling into Munford was more than a 1,000.

The purpose of the honor benefit ride held Saturday, March 24 was to raise funds for wounded United States Marine Corp Corporal Christian Brown of Munford.

Riders from all over the Mid-South participated in the

motorcycle ride that went from Collierville to Munford’s new firehouse.

Cpl. Christian “CB” Brown, the Munford marine injured in an IED explosion in December 2011, is currently hospitalized at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. Brown, 24, lost both legs and a finger after the Dec. 13, 2011 attack in Afghanistan. He has been hospitalized since the explosion and has already undergone several surgeries.

Event organizer, Gill Riberdy, assistant state captain of the Patriot Guard Riders, said he was simply amazed

Carver served Covington for more than 40 years

By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com At the end of this month, the baton will pass and a new era will begin within the City of Covington as Police Chief Bennie Carver retires after more than 40 years of law enforcement.

Carver, who started his career on June 12, 1971, will pass the reigns to his assistant chief, Tim Glass, who with 33 years in law enforcement will become the new police chief on April 1.

Carver began his career as a patrolman for the City of Covington and worked his way through the ranks, including spending more than 20 years in the drug task

force unit, before becoming the city’s top cop in April 2005.

Carver says his proudest legacies are the community relations that have been established and the neighborhood watches.

“I’m especially proud of the neighborhood watch programs that we’ve set up and the community relations with the people that we didn’t have before,” said Carver. “We’re talking to the people and gaining their trust. The substation that we opened in the north district has brought in kids who communicate with us. It’s one of the best programs that we’ve ever set up and I’m also proud of

Glass named to replace departing chief

By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com With the announcement last week of the pending retirement of Covington Police Chief Bennie Carver, Covington Mayor David Gordon told those attending Tuesday night’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen that he had received many calls and concerns about who would be appointed to take Carver’s place.

“I have received almost daily input on the selection of a new police chief and I want to thank the people who took the time to give me that input,” said Gordon during the meeting. “I was not really in any kind of hurry.

When I made the decision, I wanted

to know that I was completely comfortable with my choice,” Gordon told the board that after careful consideration and after talking to Covington Assistant Police Chief Tim Glass, he decided on the appointment of Glass as the city’s top cop effective April 1.

“I am completely comfortable with that decision after having discussed his thoughts on the future of the department and the way we can work together.”

Alderman John Edwards told Glass that he would have some big shoes to fill.

“You have some big shoes to fill but I have confidence in you,” said Edwards. “We are at a point and

time in our future where there is a lot riding on what we do during the next six to 12 months, but I have the utmost confidence in you.”

When asked what his intentions were for the department, Glass replied he intended to continue the work Chief Carver had started.

“I plan to continue the hard work and dedication that occurred under Chief Carver,” said Glass. “I think we have made a big difference in the past seven years.”

trial

Continued from A1 attorney from Memphis.

Records indicate that Harris received a phone call at her home on Richardson Landing Lane at 1:30 p.m. on the day of her death.

A package was delivered to the Harris home at 2:16 p.m. by a UPS driver.

The driver left the package at the door, seeming to indicate that no one was home.

Belinda Bell, Ricky’s mother, testified on Tuesday that she came home from work at 2 p.m. and that her son was on the couch watching television.

Harris’ body was discovered by stepson Nathan McHale at approximately 8:30 that evening during a search on a 4-wheeler.

“It tips over and the headlights shine on Starr Harris,” Freeland said. “She’s dead.”

Freeland said that Harris suffered blows to the back of her head and upper chest and said the wounds were “consistent with being stomped to death.”

According to a statement by Bell, he walked to the Harris home, which is located near his own, at approximately 8 a.m. on June 1 to collect his pay. Bell was an employee of All About Style Construction and Landscaping, which is owned by Rick Harris, Starr’s husband.

After getting home and realizing his pay was $50 less than expected, he returned to the Harris home immediately, according to Ricky Bell’s statement, to inquire why.

He spoke with Starr in person and Rick Harris over the phone, then returned home.

Freeland said testimony will show

that Ricky Bell was at the Harris house at 1:10 p.m.

According to Freeland, when Starr’s body was found her shirt was off, her pants were down and her “panties were askew.”

Freeland said evidence will show that a condom was found where Starr was allegedly raped that has Ricky Bell’s DNA. A novelty lighter that looks like a gun was also found at the scene, Freeland said, and also contained Bell’s DNA. TBI agent John Sullivan testified on Tuesday that Belinda Bell identified the novelty lighter as looking like one Ricky had.

Sullivan said that Rick Harris was interviewed about his wife’s death and photographed for possible wounds.

“He had some scratches, but wouldn’t

classify them as significant,” Sullivan said. “It looked like ones I get from working in the yard.”

While being questioned by Gulley, Belinda Bell testified that she told Sullivan that a person named “Mookie”may have had something to do with Harris’ murder.

Freeland objected that her statement was hearsay. Judge Joseph Walker sustained the objection.

Bell faces the death penalty if convicted.

Approximately 15 members from each family were in the court room on Monday and Tuesday.

The trial resumes Thursday morning.

Although, Carver said that communication has been building between the police and city residents, he wants people to realize that the city’s police force can’t do it all. He had some strong words for parents who don’t take their parental responsibilities seriously.

“The main things that the citizens have to understand is that we’re not babysitters,” said Carver, after the city’s board of mayor and aldermen meeting on Tuesday night. “We’re here to serve and protect the people of our city and to make sure they feel safe at night, not to babysit their kids. Parents have to be held accountable for their actions and for their kids.

Kids want love and they want it from their parents. When they don’t get that love, they’re going to go somewhere else. When your parents are deadbeat parents and they don’t care about you, then the community suffers.”

Carver also said he wished that his department had more support from the district attorney’s office.

“If the district attorney would ever stand behind us so we can prosecute some of these deadbeat parents for not taking care of their kids, it would be a better thing,” he said. “Our court system is going to have to come together and we’re going to have to start prosecuting some of these people and it’s up to the DA to do that. The harder you are on drugs the less crime you’re going to have in our city or the county but when we catch these people you still have to have the

justice system and the court system to prosecute them and petting them on the hand isn’t going to do anything.”

Carver referenced a meeting he said his department had been trying to set up about complaints which have been received on a particular business.

“I know that we asked for a meeting because people are complaining about the store being a public nuisance with everyone hanging out and having problems.

Our soon-to-be chief tried to set up a meeting with the district attorney but we’ve had no response with that. To me, that’s not working together and not helping anybody.”

The chief said he has no regrets about the time he’s served as police chief and feels that he couldn’t have done it without the support of the entire city.

“I love the City of Covington and the people in it,” Carver said.

“They’ve always been supportive towards me and helped me; gave me information when something happened and I want that to continue with the new chief. Community policing, getting out of them cars, going in that area and getting to know the people; seeing what the problem is and letting them tell you what the problem is and you doing something about it means everything. Once you gain that trust with the people, they started coming forward and that’s what I like.”

Carver’s leaving might have been a shock to some, but he said he’d

been contemplating it for a while now. Health concerns for both him and his wife have prompted the retirement. Carver’s wife Donna was diagnosed with breast cancer in the beginning of January 2011 and Carver was diagnosed with prostate cancer just a few weeks later. Three weeks ago he found out he also has thyroid cancer.

“My health and the health of my wife is my main concern,” said the outgoing chief. “She has breast cancer and I have thyroid and prostate cancer. My outlook is to fight this cancer and beat it and for my wife to get well. You have to keep your head up and not to give up. I’ve got my daughter and grandchildren to think of. Then I’m going to play golf, go hunting, fishing and do what I want to.

“I’ve been here for 40 years and I feel like I’ve given the city all I can possibly give them. I accomplish my goals, I’ve got a bunch of good officers and professionals. The business people have been very supportive of my efforts and I couldn’t have asked for a better mayor and board of aldermen. I think we’ve got one of the best mayors I’ve ever served under because he’s in it for the people and not the money.”

There will be a retirement ceremony for Chief Bennie Carver on Friday, March 30 from 5-8 p.m., at Covington’s Chamber Center located on the west side of the court square. The public is invited to attend.

Continued from A1 response to apparent heightened criminal activity.

“I have instructed the Covington Police Department to start a zero tolerance initiative which will be throughout the city,” said Gordon. “If you’re speeding you’ll be stopped. If your music is too loud you’ll be stopped; taillights, turn signals not working or any other kind of violation – it will be enforced.”

Gordon explained that although he expected to receive complaints, he felt this initiative was needed.

“Officers have been instructed to do this in a professional manner and I expect them to be professional. But I am already hearing from folks who think we need to change course and this is a perfect first step in changing the course on how we deal with crime in our city. The effort is not to punish every single person for every single minor infraction, but it is to

instill in our community that there are laws that have to be abided by and our police department will enforce them, even the smallest. Our hope is, doing this will allow us to catch folks who are doing things other than the minor infractions and that really need to have consequences.”

Alderman Shelvie Rose told the board of receiving complaints from residents of little children running loose and through neighbors’ yards late at night and asked the board to think about setting a more stringent curfew.

“We need to get a handle on that,” said Rose.

“Too many things can happen, especially when you are in people’s backyards. At 11:30 p.m. at night, they need to be at home in the beds. This is nothing but a great opportunity to meet the wrong people – alcohol, drugs that people buy for them, break-ins, sexual encounters and other things of this nature. We

need to look at our curfew for young children.

Someone has to look out for them cause some are not.”

A second initiative that began last week was the Community Leaders/ Police Officer walking neighborhood program.

Headed by Captain Cavat Bass, the mayor explained the purpose of the initiative was to get community leaders and police officer, out into the city’s neighborhoods where residents could meet them face-to-face.

“We want to start building up a relationship in the community and making sure the citizens know who our officers are on a personal basis – one-to–one – so they can feel confident in what we doing and they can tell us what we’re not doing and how we can do it better.”

Rose expressed his appreciation with both initiatives.

“I’m so happy you’re doing that and I would like us to revisit this cur-

few, to have something on the books,” he said.

“Little children playing at the playground with no parents supervising and the park is closed. It’s just too dangerous and we need to do a better job and I appreciate the efforts from the mayor and the police department.”

Alderman Edwards also spoke of his appreciation for the mayor’s efforts.

“I would like to thank you and the police department for starting this,” said Edwards. “I know it will be an inconvenience for some, but we all know why it’s needed. We have to do some things to turn around the situation around here and I appreciate the efforts of the police and mayor to do that.”

RIDE

Continued from A1 at the support he received.

“Tipton County rocks,” he said after the event, “It started out as a simple honor ride for a wounded soldier but it turned into so much more. The support has been amazing. Everyone in the community really stepped up to pull this off.”

The community support was apparent the day of the event. The Marine Corp League’s Sgt. W.K. Singleton Pipes and Drum was on hand to play the bagpipes, Bears Motorcycles located in Munford, close its doors on Saturday so its owner and employees could donate their time cooking. Munford Mayor Dwayne Cole was there to greet the riders as they rode in and Senate Majority Leader Mark Norris (R-Collierville) was a participant in the ride.

“There’s no way to put this into words,” said Norris. “We had upwards of 1,000 riders.

This makes you proud to be an American and a West Tennessean.”

Norris read a proclamation, resolution 711, honoring Brown’s service to the ever-expanding crowd.

“Governor Haslam

and the entire state legislature join me in honoring and commending Christian Brown for his bravery in the line of fire and his dedication in preserving the blessed freedom that is in separable from our American heritage and ideals,” read Norris. “We extend to him our best wishes for a speedy recovery.”

Riberdy, a retired sailor, said since the ride was already a part of the Wounded Warrior Project, he wanted to localize it and dedicate the ride to Brown.

“I wanted to have the ride here because he’s our wounded warrior,” he said, adding that he felt compelled to organize the run. “I really wanted to do something to help them.”

It was simply amazing to see,” said Jimmy Hicks of US 51 Country 93.5 FM who, along with Ashley Kelley, donated their time to broadcast the event on the air. “This hit close to home. We do what we can to support our troops who are out there putting their lives on the line while those of us at home are doing what we do. It’s simply been an amazing event to see unfold. We went from having 60 people here to

over 2,000 in a matter of 20 minutes.”

At the end of the afternoon the donations collected surprised Riberdy, who said he had just been hoping to meet their goal of $5,000.

“We collected more than $16,000 which will be used to help CB’s family prepare for his homecoming,” he said.

Several surprised donations included Louis Edwards of Lauderdale and the winner of the event’s 50/50 prize drawing who won more than $750 and donated the money back to the collection for Brown care.

“We can’t do everything to help everybody but we like to help those that we can,” said the retired Air Force veteran.

“This veteran is in our backyard so we chose to take up a collection and I’m here to present $535.”

Mayor Cole concluded the event stirring the crowd with his rousing words of patriotism.

“We’re here to thank our American hero,” he said to the crowd. “It wasn’t many years ago that CB was running up and down these streets as a young man having a good time and we are here today to tell

him how much we love him. Thank you CB. It’s because of people like Christian Brown that we are able to stand under the American Flag today and proclaim let freedom

ring! “ Those wishing to donate can still do so at First Citizens National Bank.

Having the ability to pay for long-term care is obviously important. But other issues may also enter the picture. For example, if you need to enter a nursing home, you may be suffering from a physical or mental disability that might prevent you from handling your own affairs. This impairment could prove disastrous to your finances — which is why you can’t afford to take that type of chance. Instead, consult with your legal advisor to determine if you can benefit from a durable power of attorney — a document that lets you delegate your financial decisions to a relative, close friend or anyone else you might choose.

None of us like to think about spending time in a nursing home or needing round-the-clock care in our own homes. However, life is unpredictable. But even if you can’t avoid the need for long-term care, you can take steps to help reduce the financial strain it can cause you and your family.

Jackson brings practice to Covington Dr. Charley Jackson is a newcomer to Covington and Tipton County but he feels like he’s right at home.

Jackson, the son-in-law of Jackie and Steve Allen Wooten of Covington, was born and raised in Pickwick, Tenn. He is married to the former Lizzy Wooten of Covington.

Jackson, a doctor of chiropractics, pursued his undergraduate studies at Dyersburg State Community College and at the University of Tennessee at Martin where he completed the pre-chiropractic program. He received his training at Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis, Mo., where he attained his bachelor of science in human biology and his doctorate of chiropractic degree in 2009.

Dr. Jackson began his practice in Jackson, Tenn. After the birth of his daughter Annabelle in August 2011, the family spent 100 days at the NICU department at the Region Medical Center at Memphis (MED), which set them on a different path. Jackson and his family were so overwhelmed with the support they received from the residents of Covington and Tipton County that they decided to move to the community.

“After seeing the support that the people of Covington and Tipton County gave our family, Jackson was no longer home to us.”

Jackson enjoys the one on one interaction that chi-

ropractic has to offer as well as watching his patients become pain free and returning to their everyday activities and hobbies. He treats muscle and joint related pain including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, headaches, numbness and/or tingling in the arms or legs, and herniated or bulging disc’s in the neck and back. Dr. Jackson works with a network of healthcare specialists: medical doctors, nurse practitioners, orthopaedists, neurosurgeons, and physical therapists that he refers to when indicated.

Dr. Jackson’s practice is with Spine South Chiropractic located at 1618 Hwy. 51 S., Ste. F in Covington.

Hours are Monday thru Friday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. New patients are being accepted and appointments can be made by calling (901) 476-7171.

Jackson is looking forward to becoming involved in the community and is currently a member of Rotary Club, Covington-Tipton County Chamber of Commerce and the March of Dimes. In his spare time Dr. Jackson enjoys spending time with his family, fishing, hunting, canoeing, playing golf, and various other outdoor activities.

“We look forward to living in Covington and Tipton County,” said Jackson. “We’re closer to our friends and family and it’s a great place to raise our daughter.”

Deadline looms for property tax relief Tipton County Trustee Kristie Glass Maxwell reminds all taxpayers who are 65 years of age or older, 100 percent disabled or classified with a 100 percent service connected disability through the military, the deadline is quickly approaching for applying for relief thorough the State of Tennessee’s Tax Relief Program.

Thursday, Apr. 5 is the last day.

For senior citizens and persons

100 percent disabled, the income limit is $26,830. This limit is based on a person’s 2010 income. For 100 percent service connected disabled veterans, there is no income limit.

If approved, the State benefit for seniors and disabled persons this tax year is $148. The Tipton County Commissioners voted to supplement that payment with an additional $25 of county funds.

The total benefit would be $173.

The disabled veteran benefit may be up to $1,034.

Anyone interested in the program may call the Trustee’s office Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 476-0211. The Trustee’s office administers the program for the county and will be glad to answer any questions or assist with the application.

Ignore that text! You didn’t win a Wal-Mart gift card Cell phone users across the country are receiving suspicious text messages Cell phone users across the country are receiving suspicious text messages that claim to be from WalMart or Best Buy. The suspicious texts tell consumers that they have won a free gift card and direct them to a website for more information.

According to Randy Hutchinson, BBB president, the texts are mobile versions of phishing emails, known as “smishing,” since cell phone text messages are known as SMS or short message service texts. “Just like legitimate businesses, crooks use technology to make their jobs easier,” Hutchinson said. “They know more and more people are carrying cell

phones these days, so they are using that technology to deliver their messages.”

One version of the phony text says “You have just won a free $1,000 WalMart Gift Card, enter “1000” at LINK. Another similar text states: “WalMart $1,000 gift card for the first 1000 users to go to LINK and enter code 2938.”

The texts direct you to different websites that all include the Wal-Mart name. But a statement on Wal-Mart’s website says the texts are not coming from them and they are not associated with the offers.

Other consumers have reported getting similar text offers from Best Buy. Best Buy also disavows

any association with the offer.

TCCA SHAM ROCK-A-THON Military Matters SCORES BIG SN Nicholas Schulz

Myrna Chapman participated in the TCCA SHAM RockA-Thon on Saturday, March 17 at the Covington Senior Center.

The Tipton County Commission on Aging (TCCA) recently held it’s SHAM Rock-a-Thon fundraiser to raise money for it’s transportation needs.

Iola Boykin was the oldest rocker at age 98 and she raised the most money. The youngest rocker was Scott Catterton and most decorated rocker was Myrna Chapman.

There were seven “rockers” who raised over $1,200 for TCCA’s Fill the Tanks Campaign.

TCCA would like to thank all who participated, volunteered and sponsored this wonderful fundraiser. A special thank you to Stockdale’s for the use of the rocking chairs and to Walmart and Haddad’s for prizes.

Navy Seaman Nicholas X. Schulz, son of Angela M. Schulz of Brighton, recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill. During the eight-week program, Schulz completed a variety of training, which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety.

An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness.

The capstone event of boot camp is “Battle Stations.” This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. “Battle Stations” is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment. Its distinctly ‘’Navy’’ flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a Sailor.

Schulz is a 2005 graduate of Brighton High School. He is a 2009 graduate of Murray State University, Murray, Ky. with a BBA degree.

SN Tawanda Johnson Navy Seaman Tawanda R. Johnson, daughter of Theresa and John T. Johnson of Mason, recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill.

Dunlap Retirement Center

Have a community story you'd like to see in the paper? Call Sherri at 476-7116 and tell her about it!

Hello everybody, sure hope you’re all doing well and knowing you are truly blessed by the Lord! We most definitely are out here at Dunlap Retirement Center. This beautiful place out here is a head lifter and a praise giver to the Lord to everyone that comes in contact with it especially this time of year. The whole campus is so breathe taking that you can’t help but praise the Lord. The Bible says “if we don’t, the rocks will cry out” in praise to the Lord. But you just can’t help yourself when you come out and see how He has blessed us with this beautiful place. All different kinds of trees and bushes, the variety of colors, is all just too much for one to take in if they realize how it was all formed, from the mighty hand of God Himself.

We do have a beautiful place out here and we would love for you to tell someone about us that may otherwise not realize that we’re out Caption: Ms. Myrna Chapman participated in the TCCA SHAM Rock-AThon on Saturday, March 17 at the Covington Senior Center.2 here and the amenities that we offer. It’s not called a “retirement community” for nothing. If you live out here, all you have to do is come to the table and eat with your “house family” and do nothing else if that is what you prefer. No cooking, no dishes, no laundry, no cleaning, I mean, what else is there but to sit and visit with good friends and take an afternoon nap, not have to worry about whether or not you took your medication, because we give assistance with that as well. The criteria for coming is that you

must be able to dress yourself, get to the dining room, and take care of your personal hygiene needs. That’s it, you’re in! We are neither a nursing home nor an assisted living facility, as a matter of fact, we don’t even have nurses on staff, so we are a non-medical facility, and we are strictly a retirement community.

Give me a call if you are interested, or if you know of a friend that could benefit from our services. We have been here as a retirement center since 1972 and plan on being here another 40 years! So please come join us, you’ll see a little piece of heaven here at Dunlap.

I just want to remind you all about our Springfest that is coming up on May 19 here at the center. We’d love to have you all come and join us for this very festive time. It’s also the time of year when we try to raise money for our building licenses that cost $2,400.00 every year so we can keep chugging along. We will be selling hamburgers and hot dogs, chips and drinks for just a donation. Then to top it off, hopefully, we’ll have Ms. Patsy Fee coming to make her famous fried apple, peach and chocolate pies for us, and those we do charge $3 a piece for! Please plan on coming and spending the day with us with your family, we’ll have so many activities for you and the kids.

Until next week, love God; love your fam(901)476-8632 ily and everyone around thorntonshomefurnishing.com you!

Hi Folks, it is Monday morning and here I sit at the computer. The old man is out in the back yard transplanting day lilies in our bare back yard where we are trying to get grass to grow, but instead the rain keeps washing it away. So maybe some day lilies might help the yard from washing away.

I am having trouble sitting here in the house... a view from my window... the beautiful azaleas are in full bloom this morning. They are as tall as I am and dark pink. Thanks to the former owners who planted these azaleas just for us, I am sure.

They are planted from the deck to the corner of the house. I have this view out my bedroom window too. I sit in my bedroom and read my bible and have my daily devotional, I discovered them this morning as I pulled the blinds and sat at my little table in the bedroom overlooking the two lakes that are in our view.

The on going story of our “three weedeaters.”

Last week the story goes that one of the weedeaters that we have did not have the spool that the line went on... well we found it in the garage, where someone had it pulled it out to see what kind of

line that it took. Well the line worked fine...but it would still not crank. So the old man decided that it needed some new gas in it. Well he goes down to the barn and gets our three gas cans and heads to the gas station. Well he comes back from the gas station as mad “as a wet hen”. Guess what I did?? I forgot to put the gas cans in the car and went all the way to town.

I asked him why didn’t he just buy a new can.....?

I have three good cans, why buy another one???

He goes back to town and get the gas, and would you know that it still would not crank.

He gets our original weedeater and takes it back to Sears in Covington.

They said this is so old we cannot fix it. They said that it was about 8 years old and not worth fixing. ----so he just purchased a new one. Well , he came home with this new weedeater. and he was trying trying to get it to crank......but it would not crank. (the sales person at Sears cranked it at the store but it would not crank here at our house). So a few days go by and we had to go to Covington, so he said I am taking this it back to Sears.

He said out loud “I will try to crank

Jamestown Darsay Burton

Greetings, so many things have taken place since just a week ago. Some of them very happy and some of them very sad indeed.

First let’s begin with our sad news for this week.

LaRue Albritton’s second oldest son, Michael “Mike” King’s wife, Sandra King, passed last week after a very long battle with cancer. Mike, formerly of Jamestown and Covington, was also a member of the U.S. Army, now retired. They live in Florida now with their family.

Last Saturday, Mike’s family, along with mother LaRue Albritton, traveled to Florida to be with Mike and their girls for services that were held on Saturday.

Our prayers are with the Albritton and King families at this time.

Our very happy news is the marriage of my niece, Erica Nicole Merritt of Jamestown to Antron D. Sher-

Mt. Carmel Elaine Watkins

Coughing and coughing, back and chest are sore, and head hurts from so much coughing. Darned pollen…

Going nuts here with a male redbird flying into the window. At least once a minute, since Saturday! Crazy bird! I put a stuffed bird and a wooden cat in the window - no deterrent to him!

We had intended to take Catherine McCalla to eat Japanese for her birthday last week but she wasn’t up to it, so James, Clint, Liz and Lyla and I went anyway. She wanted a bowl of rice and Liz, Lyla and I took it to her and stayed an hour or so. Liz and Lyla went out in the beautiful back yard, with all the pink and white azaleas and Woodland Blue Phlox everywhere, and took lots of photos. We had a wonderful visit and

field of Covington on Saturday, Mar. 25 at 3 p.m. Erica is the daughter of Celia Annette Burton and Evander Brown and is a teacher at Covington High School.

The groom is the son of Julitta Sherfield and the late Darnell Sherfield. The lovely ceremony was officiated by the bride’s aunt, Rev. O. Pearl Burton Andrews in the beautiful wedding chapel in the Millington Civic Center with both of the happy couples families on hand for the occasion. It was a very beautiful wedding ceremony, complete with a beautiful bride and groom. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Antron Sherfield.

We are praying for Bessie Cobbs, Katarene Harber, Ruth Alston, Shade Alston, Jennie Stewart, Posey Reed, Joseph Heaston, Sr., Connie and Christine Brown, Ellouise Vaughn, Isiah and Willie Mae Burton, Sr., Robert and Dorcus Smith, Percy and Allie White, Jessie Lawson, Carlotta Jones, David Sneed, Cindy Burton, Tim Burton, Sr., Rhonda HeastonMcLin and family, Ada Fletcher, rev. and Mrs. Richard Coe, Beaulah Wakefield, Flossie Woods, John Bun-

wish her many more happy birthdays!

Sorry she didn’t feel well that day.

I got rid of my big chunky ‘80’s dining room suit and my upright piano and emptied out the dining room. Bought a new smaller table and three chairs, with a bench, and no china cabinet. James and I picked it up last week and, of course, if all has to be put together. Will do that when I feel better. At least it’s in the house when I do feel like working on it. It’s going to be beautiful!

This week’s Farm Report: We got six-tenths inch of rain last Wednesday night/Thursday morning. We’ve sprayed some more and are getting the new planter ready to plant some corn this week. Just beautiful weather this week, highs in the low 80’s. Wheat is heading out - in March!

There was a very touching memorial service for Lee Graham last Friday.

I didn’t mention that he was a former

district conservationist here in Tipton County for years. He has been judging our scrapbooks for me in recent years.

I made it through “Daddy’s Hands” but “Taps” got me to crying. Men in the audience were saluting the former Air Force veteran. Touching and very memorable. Paulette and the family continue in my prayers.

Michelle Nowak and I went to eat supper and then see “The Hunger Games’ last Friday. It was a wonderful movie and I loved the books.

Women of the Covington Church of Christ will have a Bridal Shower for Kirby Powell, bride-elect of Drew Kinningham, on Sunday, April 1, 2 p.m.

Anna Kate Dalrymple had her tonsils and adenoids removed Monday. Hear she’s doing fine. John Evans continues to recover from shoulder surgery and is taking rehab. Geneva Travis, Trey Erwin, Benton Wooten, Jimbo Edmonds,

Staff and service recipients went to the nursing home to take some get well cards to nursing home patients. We also went to CiCi’s Pizza to eat lunch.

Afterwards, we went to the library to take back some books on Wednesday, Feb. 22.

Staff and service recipients would like to thank the ladies of the Garland United Methodist Church for their generous donation to our center. We appreciate it very much.

Some of the staff and service recipients went outside to get some exercise.

We watched a DVD called Toy Story and James Bond in the front. We want to thank Sam Franklin for brining it to the center and letting us watch it.

We celebrated Sam Franklin’s birthday on Friday, March 2 with pizza, cake and ice cream. We watched a DVD of The Three Stooges in the front room. We also celebrated Floyd Columbus’ birthday on Monday, Mar. 12 with cake and ice cream.

On Mar. 16, the staff and service recipients had a St. Patrick’s Day brunch with green eggs and ham with assorted sweet treats. The staff and service recipients went outside and got some exercise. They enjoyed it very much.

Until next time, Floyd Columbus.

Hi Everyone, poison ivy is in the air, everywhere you turn. I have had it a week now. I had to go get a shot and more cream. I’m allergic to it. I thought I was bad, having it every summer as a child, but our friends at McDonalds says she can watch it on TV and get it.

Hopefully, all the burning and strong winds are history now. I hope your week has been a good one.

We spent last Saturday visiting our family cemeteries and putting out our spring flowers. The weather has been beautiful. A great week for spring-break.

Many people have taken off for different places.

I received a St. Patricks day card from my dear friends Joe and Kathleen Chidester in Green Valley, Ariz., formally of Brighton. They may be in town soon I heard. Sure hope so.

Well, spring is officially here and what a glorious spring it has been! The dogwoods are blooming and the crappie are biting. According to Bob—it just doesn’t get any better than that!

I look out my back door and see so many tiny purple blooms. Purple must be the color of spring—all of creation celebrating the coming of Easter!! Because of the mild winter, my herb bed sprang to life with just a little clean up and tilling. My rosemary is blooming, something I have never seen before!

This rosemary plant covers an area of about 3’ x 5’ and stands about 3’ high.

The sage made the winter and is just before blooming. It is robust and healthy and I can hardly wait to see what its blooms look like. The thyme is full of delicate little white blooms and the mint is trying to overtake as always. The chives are young and tender and the parsley is newly planted. Of course the basil hasn’t come up yet— it’s a little too early. I do enjoy my herb bed. Bob has built me another one for tarragon, oregano and cilantro. With the thought of spring, comes the idea that my recipe for this month’s, Cooking with Claudia must include some of the season’s freshest ingredients— asparagus, spring onions, and fresh rosemary . Even if you think you don’t like asparagus, you have to try this.

Ham, eggs, and cheese added into the mix and you have a great dish. It can be made the night before and baked the next morning. Served with muffins and flavored butter, and fruit in mint sauce and you have a delightful spring brunch. Happy Easter from all of us at the Chamber!

Asparagus, Ham and Egg Bake—(A Pillsbury recipe) 1 ½ cups chopped cooked ham (about ½ lb) ½ cup green onions, chopped

1 lb fresh asparagus spears, cut into 1-in. pieces 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese 1 bag frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese 12 Egg 1 ½ cups Half and Half 8 oz. sour cream 2 t lemon-pepper seasoning salt 2 t ground mustard 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, minced 1 cup cornflake crumbs 2 tablespoons butter, melted Spray 13 x 9 baking dish with cooking spray. In large bowl, toss ham, asparagus, potatoes, onion and cheese.

Spoon into baking dish. Beat eggs, milk, sour cream, lemon-pepper, mustard and rosemary with fork or whisk until well mixed. Pour egg mixture over potato mixture. Cover, refrigerate 8 hours or overnight. Heat oven to 325. Bake 35 minutes. Meanwhile, in small bowl, toss cornflake crumbs and butter. Sprinkle cornflake mixture over partially baked casserole. Bake uncovered 30 to 35 min. longer or until knife inserted in center comes out clean and thermometer inserted in center reads 160 degrees. Remove and let stand 15 minutes before serving.

CHS spelling bee champs The second annual Literacy Council Spelling Bee was a huge success. Program emcee, Justin Hanson, stumped contestants with words like posthumous, phylum, circumlocution and tableau. After more than 40 rounds, the top six teams that remained standing were Patriot Bank’s Banker Bees, Making Memories, The Alternatives, The Special Spellers, Brighton High School and Covington High School.

CHS representatives Peggy Murdock, Mark Heaston and Jill Matlock took the first place prize after winning a lightning round against BHS team of Cetrice Bound, Michelle Daniels and Brian Crowson. The championship words through that round were yosenabe, flicflac and thalassographer. Although both teams spelled them correctly, CHS avoided sudden death by spelling them the fastest.

Several audience members also had the opportunity to participate. Dawn Johnson, Barbara Ruck and a student contestant, Saylor Ashby, all spelled

words correctly and earned rewards.

The biggest winners of the evening were the Tipton County Literacy Council and the Adult Education students.

Team sponsorship fees accrued $1,800 and door entry fees raised $201 in donations for a grand total of $2,001. Those funds will be allocated towards scholarships and GED testing fees.

The Tipton County Literacy Council would like to thank all of the local businesses and vendors that donated goods and services as prizes for our contestants. A special thanks to the 2011 Total Leadership Class who started this event and laid the groundwork for all that has followed. Also, enormous thanks to everyone in the community that came out to support a great cause. Competition is already stirring for next year’s spelling bee. If you’re interested in making a donation to the Literacy Council or information about next year’s bee please contact, Jackie Walker at jwalker@tiptoncounty.com or Barbara Dorn at 901-8370171.

MUNFORD ELEMENTARY EXCELLING TO BE THE BEST

Knightly News

Covington Integrated Arts Academy Every school has its own share of challenges. However, last week, CIAA had more than any other school in the county. Challenges for little yellow school buses that is! We “threw down the gauntlet” and the “challenged” our school to raise $2,000 in under nine days by purchasing school buses for $1 each to fund the purchase of new technology for our school. Staff challenged each other to not talk for a day, 7th and 8th graders challenged each other for the honor of cleaning up after the winning team at lunch, and classes challenged each other to get their teachers “dressed up” as Elvis, Beyonce, and even a dancing chicken. Mrs. Sara Gangaware tells us every day that the first step to success is showing up and if we met our goal, our brave leader will become “knighted” and will “show up” riding a real horse! Teachers, students, and classes all got involved and we are proud and humbled by the teamwork of everyone who raised over $2,300.00! So if you had visited our school on Friday you would have seen quite the event as each one had to follow through with their promises!

Even if you missed out on seeing all the characters this Friday, it is not too late to provide a donation to help our school continue to give students the learning resources they need. For those of you who purchased a little yellow school bus or who would still like to donate, we offer a sincere, humble, and gracious THANK YOU! Parents, for just a minute, we want you to think back to that moment when you glanced through your old yearbook and reminisced about years gone by, thought about how much everyone you knew has changed or not changed, and looked back at all your interests and accomplishments. Someday, your

children will have that same moment as an adult, and, of course, it would be so wonderful for them to have a yearbook to look at. (Yes indeed folks, that was a cheesy, sentimental lead in for yearbook sales… yet cheesy or not, it’s still true!)

On a serious note, you do not want to miss out on this year’s yearbook, it captures some of the greatest moments of your kids, it is all color, and it is amazing! The yearbooks are still on sale for $25, so get yours now!

Our featured teacher is 7th and 8th grade teacher, Ms. Shari Keough. Although Ms. Keough just joined our team this year, she has been teaching for 13 years. She says she loves to see her students have that “a-ha” moment and she loves the sense of community and the creative environment of our school. She states she wishes everyone could see the most incredible hidden gem that CIAA is and states “you really have to see it to believe it.”

What a great idea Ms. Keough! Everyone should come and see it and what better opportunity to do so than our CIAA open house on April 12. All are welcome. Also, don’t forget our open enrollment dates are April 5-20.

Students in the Munford Elementary School EXCELL (Excelling through Commitment to Education, Learning and Leadership) program are provided with extended learning opportunities after school, during the summer and on weekends. The program, which meets on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, is also offered at Crestview Elementary, Crestview Middle, Covington Integrated Arts Academy, Covington High, Drummonds Elementary and Munford Middle.

SOFTBALL SHOWDOWN: COVINGTON 7 MUNFORD 5

Walk-off winner

Cougars start district 2-0

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Munford got its District 13AAA schedule off on the right foot Monday and Tuesday by sweeping Jackson North Side in a pair of games.

On Monday, Jas Hutchison went 3 for 3 and Hunter Barber scattered five hits over seven innings while striking out nine as Munford won at North Side, 10-5.

Stephen Stewart was 2 for 2 with an RBI double and Jeremy Reeves also doubled in two.

Walker Bouler had a big night at the plate, going 2 for 4 with a double and two RBI's.

On Tuesday the Cougars (65) moved to 2-0 in league play with a 6-3 home win over the Indians.

Kale Fultz struck out seven over four and one-third innings to pick up the win. Casey Crowe finished it off, striking out three and holding JNS hitless to earn the save.

Munford had just four hits, but mad them count.

Hutchison singled home a run in the first inning and Ryan Bargery pushed another across in the third on a squeeze bunt.

Bargery also had an RBI single in the fourth. The rest of Munford's runs came via Indian errors.

“It's very important to get those two wins to start the district,” Munford coach Steve Ledford said. “You really want to get a one or two seed (in the district tournament), but it's still wide open.”

Munford will host Millington Friday at 7 p.m., before traveling to Millington for a 1 p.m. game on Saturday.

On Monday the Cougars play a big district doubleheader at Hardin County that begins at 4 p.m. Hardin County is also 2-0

Glenn homers in eighth to lead CHS past Munford

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com With Munford leading Covington 3-1 in the top of the fifth Tuesday night, things went dark.

The lights at the Covington softball field stayed out for 15 minutes.

When the lights came back to life, so did the Lady Chargers' offense.

Covington scored six runs in the final three innings, including a walk-off tworun homer by junior Gabby Glenn in the bottom of the eighth to finish off a dramatic 7-5 win.

“I told them when the lights went out, that was God giving us a little intermission,” said Covington coach Martha Lawler, whose team improved to 5-2-1 with the win. “We came back more lively. I was glad to see us come from behind for once.”

Munford (6-3) got an RBI double from Jessyca Baker in the top of the sixth to push the lead to 4-1.

In the bottom of the frame, Allie Moss and Glenn each singled home runs to bring Covington to within a run.

An inning later Covington forced extra innings when Whitney Cook drove in Jasmine Brown, who reached on a three-base error.

With the international tiebreaker rule

in effect in the eighth, Alex Stanford drove home the go-ahead run with a ground out. But Gabby Glenn, who relieved her sister Autumn Glenn in the circle in the eighth, did not allow another run.

In the bottom of the eighth, Kaitlyn Ashburn scored from second on another Munford error, setting up Gabby Glenn's game-winning bomb to leftcenter.

“I was just thinking get a base hit,” said Glenn, who finished 3 for 4 with a double and three RBI's.

Munford jumped out a 2-0 lead in the first on a two-run homer by Alex Turner.

Tara Comer (0-3) went the distance for Munford, striking out three and allowing eight hits.

“They play such good solid defense,” Munford coach Glenn Goulder said.

“That was the difference in the ball game. We weren't able to do that.”

Gabby Glenn (2-1) earned the win.

Autumn Glenn struck out four and allowed five hits over seven innings.

Baker was 2 for 4 with an RBI single in the fourth that gave Munford a 3-0 lead.

“They're so explosive,” Goulder said about Covington. “Martha always does a great job with them.”

Following a 10-0 opening win over Armorel (Ark.) on March 19, the Covington Chargers proceeded to roll through its opposition for five more wins to go 6-0 in the annual Best of the West event. CHS is 8-2 on the season.

Mountain Home (Ark.) provided a little competition, but not enough on Saturday afternoon, as CHS posted an 11-5 win behind the strong pitching of D.J. Max (1-0).

He went the distance, scattering five hits while allowing two earned runs. Max struck out 11 and walked four for the win.

Tommy Beasley had a pair of doubles, drove in three runs and scored a pair. Tyler Davis and Kirk Winberry had a pair of RBI's each.

The Ripley Tigers fell victim to the Covington onslaught in the event finale on Saturday night, falling 15-4 in 5 innings.

Davis (1-1) got his first victory of the season. He pitched five innings, allowing four hits and one earned run. He struck out three and walked six.

Beasley had a strong plate performance with six RBI, two hits and four runs scored. Davis and Dylan Schlauch drove in three runs each.

Two Covington boxers advance to fight in nationals

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com The Covington Boxing Club won five out of nine matches last Thursday and Friday during the Mid-South Golden Gloves Championships in Little Rock.

“All of the guys who lost were in close hard matches,” said Covington coach Jimmy Glover. “It was a good ef-

fort from our guys.”

The champions were Anthony Campbell (165 pounds), Steve Cross (108), Preston Terry (156), Octavius Suggs (178) and Elijah Parker (200-plus).

Open boxers Cross and Campbell advance to the National Golden Gloves Championships in Las Vegas next month.

“We have never won a National

Golden Gloves championship,” Glover said. “We have a month to get the guys ready. Joey Guy has joined our coaching staff this year and has helped to bring some of the boxers to next level.

Joey is a produce of our program a few years back and went on to a pro career where he held the world championship for a little while. We are glad Joey is back on board.”

In the coming months the Covington Boxing Club will travel around the Mid-South for some tournaments and matches.

The club fight in Arkansas the next two weeks.

“By going to the shows in Arkansas, we get to see guys that we don't see too often,” Glover said, “and get to compete against tougher competition.”

Lady Cards take down Haywood, St. Agnes

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com The Brighton Lady Cardinals got some strong pitching and timely hitting in a pair of recent road wins.

On Tuesday Brighton traveled to Brownsville to take on Haywood and came away with a 2-0 win.

Ali Christmas and Lulu Smith each

had RBI singles in the top of the first inning, and that was all Laura Judy needed.

Judy went all seven innings, striking out eight and allowing just three hits and one walk, to earn the win.

Haley Craig was 2 for 2 for the Lady Cardinals.

In action last Wednesday, Brighton went to Memphis and pulled out a dra-

CHS soccer splits two

matic 2-1 win over St. Agnes.

Trailing 1-0 in the seventh, Brighton got an RBI single from Maddy Cox to tie the score. Christmas scored moments later on a St. Agnes error for what proved to be the game winner.

Smith finished off a complete-game effort by shutting down St. Agnes in the bottom of the seventh. She struck out six and allowed just three hits.

Christmas and Bri McBride each had two hits for Brighton and Morgan Shaver doubled.

The owners of all these bows for the most part had just come in off the shooting trail and had placed an order to president Walter Wallace, who was cooking on a grill at the time, for a hamburger, cheeseburger, hot dog or polish sausage along with chips and a soft drink of your choice.

By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com Covington Charger men’s soccer opened the 2012 season splitting a pair of league games with South Gibson and Crockett County.

Last Tuesday CHS took to the pitch and outran South Gibson 6-2.

With a 2-0 lead at the half, a shrewd move by coach Robert Luttrell, moving Bobby Van Cleve to forward, proved to be the game clincher.

Van Cleve turned the hat trick plus one with four second half goals, doubling the opposition by himself.

Andy Carver and Skylar Davis added a goal each.

“We are attempting to learn a game based on ball possession,” Luttrell said. “It takes control and skill and will to take a season to perfect.”

Thursday’s match at Crockett County was not a happy affair.

The Cavaliers dropped the Chargers 5-2.

Van Cleve and Davis had the lone goals for CHS. “Injured players and a wet field are no excuse for a loss,” Luttrell said. “We were flat and they played better … One of the bright spots this week has been the play in goal of Zach Crawford. He is one of the strengths of the team.”

The next four games for the Chargers are on the road. They travel to Haywood on April 3, Westview on April 5, Obion on April 9 and Ripley on April 10.

All but Westview are district matches.

HEALTH ALERT! • HEALTH ALERT! • HEALTH ALERT! • HEALTH ALERT!

HEARING LOSS and DEMENTIA LINKED If hearing loss goes untreated, a condition called “auditory deprivation” occurs, this has been confirmed by scientific studies. Seniors with hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop dementia over time than those who retain their hearing, a study by Johns Hopkins and National Institute on Aging researchers suggests. The findings, the researchers say, could lead to new ways to combat dementia, a condition that affects millions of people worldwide.

Although the reason for the link between the two conditions is unknown, the investigators suggest that a common pathology may underlie both or that the strain of decoding sounds over the years may overwhelm the brains of people with hearing loss, leaving them more vulnerable to dementia. They also speculate that hearing loss could lead to dementia by making individuals more socially isolated, a known risk factor for dementia and other cognitive disorders.

But there’s good news! Whatever the cause, the scientists report, their finding may offer a starting point for interventions even as simple as hearing aids - that could delay or prevent dementia by improving patients’ hearing.

WARNING!

munity Center is available for rent for events such as family reunions, wedding receptions, birthday parties, bridal and baby showers, etc. To make reservations, call Councilman Kellum at (901) 476-2683.

And now, on to the less important news. Spring has sprung! As I sat looking out across Highway 59 the other day, I witness some of the signs of spring’s arrival. A small drop of water slowly made its way to the edge and then fell to the ground, hitting the sidewalk followed by another, and then another.

The drop of water hit and instantly there was a yellowish green tint where the droplet had landed.

And then, a strong sudden wind blew my hair back. I only wish I was recounting the images of a spring rain, but in reality I was watching the spring pollen literally attack my youngest son. The drops of water I had been watching were tears that were streaming from his irritated eyes. The strong sudden wind was from his constant sneezing. I’m not even going to begin to describe what I witnessed coming from his nose.

Let’s just say it wasn’t pretty. Now, the yellowish green stains that covered the sidewalk were real enough. As a matter of fact, just about every car I pass nowadays is covered in a fine coat of yellowishgreen pollen. We thought we were going to be able to enjoy some of this mild spring weather and open the windows in the house.

This didn’t last long as everything in the house was also covered in a fine coat of yellowish-green pollen. So, for the time being, the windows are closed, everyone is taking their daily allergy medicine and we’re enjoying the start of spring from the inside. Until next week, take care.

4594 Mt. Carmel Rd. on Sunday, Apr. 8 at 7 a.m. Call 476-2434 for more information.

Easter worship will be held at 11 a.m.

DON’T IGNORE the WARNING SIGNS 1. Difficulty hearing in noisy situations, like restaurants.

2. Trouble understanding women’s and children’s voices.

3. Often ask people to repeat themselves.

If you’ve experienced any of the above, get your hearing tested immediately.

Libby Click Hi Everyone, poison ivy is in the air, everywhere you turn. I have had it a week now. I had to go get a shot and more cream. I’m allergic to it. I thought I was bad, having it every summer as a child, but our friends at McDonalds says she can watch it on TV and get it.

Hopefully, all the burning and strong winds are history now. I hope your week has been a good one.

We spent last Saturday visiting our family cemeteries and putting out our spring flowers. The weather has been beautiful. A great week for spring-break.

Many people have taken off for different places.

I received a St. Patricks day card from my dear friends Joe and Kathleen Chidester in Green Valley, Ariz., formally of Brighton. They may be in town soon I heard. Sure hope so.
