Covington to see tax, utility hikes After unanimous decisions by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen Tuesday night, Covington residents will see increases in taxes and sewer and water fees. The board voted to increase the tax rate from $1.19 to $1.29 (per $100 of assessed value). The increase has been allocated to the police and street departments and will result in the employment of two additional employees each.

Board votes to raise property tax, water and sewer rates By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com

AT A GLANCE: The property tax rate in Covington just increased from $1.19 to $1.29 per $100 of assessed value. The increased revenue will fund salaries for four new employees. Water and sewer customers will also see a slight increase in fees.

"We're eight employees down in the street department," mayor David Gordon said Tuesday. The rate increase also funds a promotion for three corporals within the police department

and a 50-cent-per-hour pay raise, an additional $3,120, which police chief Tim Glass planned to offset by allowing the sergeants holidays and weekends off. The changes will help

strengthen the patrol division, Glass said, because it offers an incentive to corporals who want to make the lateral transfer to sergeant and the benefits involved. In a memo dated March 21, Glass said he believed making changes to the pay scale and offering other benefits will help reduce turnover in his department. According to budget reporting, the city brought in $7.1 million SEE INCREASE, PAGE A3

Family raising funds for Baby Raegyn By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com A little more than a week ago, five-monthold Raegyn Alyse O'Brien started running a fever. Her mother was told the baby had a virus. But her fever didn't go away, and today she's in LeBonheur. Her organs

are shutting down because she's in septic shock and battling spinal meningitis. "They have her in a paralyzed state," said Reagyn's grandmother, Anita Grivet. The medicine they're giving her is helping with her symptoms, but there's another problem: it's affecting her toes.

"The doctor said she'd be lucky if she got through all of this and that was the worst thing that happened," Grivet said. Raegyn will likely lose three toes on one foot and one from the other. Knowing the family will have a tough time paying the medical bills that will come, Grivet

The Munford Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved its 2013-14 budget Monday night and made a couple of announcements the could affect the budget. A budget of $3.959 million passed unanimously on second and final reading. The largest expenditures included $1.126 million for police, $860,6551 for the fire department and $646,598 for the parks and recreation department. “We've worked this over pretty significantly,” Munford Mayor Dwayne Cole said, who called the budget “pretty lean.” He said there is neither a pay increase for city employees nor a property tax hike in the budget. There is, however, money earmarked for two new firemen. In an effort to produce more revenue to pay for the firemen, Munford will hold a referendum on Sept. 12 asking citizens to increase the local option sales tax from 2.25 percent to 2.75, which will mean five cents more on a $10 purchase. Early voting on the referendum, which is also being held in Atoka, will be Aug. 23-Sept. 7. Also during the meeting, the board approved Allied Waste to serve as the city's sanitation service, effective next January. Allied currently serves Atoka, Covington and other area cities. Munford residents will have the option of paying $18 a month for weekly, curbside garbage pickup. Residents who move to Munford in the future will automatically be enrolled for the service. Cole said revenue gained from the sanitation service and the possible sales tax increase were not included in the 2013-14 budget. “The budget does not assume trash service revenues or the sales tax,” Cole said. “'We'll have to amend the budget later … if it (the referendum on the sales tax increase) passes.” In other matters: • The Munford Beer Board approved two local businesses to sell beer. Munford Food Mart received a permit to sell beer for off-premises consumption, while the Home Plate Cafe received a permit for on-premises consumption.

Clayton Bank ranked third in the nation Clayton Bank, owned by the Jim Clayton family, was ranked the third highest performing bank in the nation by Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) – the leading national bank advocacy group. The list for 2012 was published in ICBA Independent Banker magazine’s June 2013 issue and is available online.

Clayton Bank was ranked third in the $500 million to $1 billion Return on Average Assets (ROAA) category. According to ICBA Independent Banker, “Community banks at the top of the ranking show a dedication to the basics by maintaining effective underwriting and servicing standards. By being involved in the community, responding to client needs, and developing superior energetic banking officers who are eager

to assist families and businesses in achieving financial goals, the top rated banks produce consistent results.” Chairman Jim Clayton stated, “This national award thrills me and independently confirms the Board’s recent decisions to promote Travis Edmondson (CEO), Kevin Kimzey (President), and Jake Kraemer (Chief Risk Officer) to lead this truly amazing team.” Travis Edmondson commented, “In partnering with the Clayton Family, the Clayton Foundation, and with the support of an involved and uncommonly successful Board of Directors, this team is uniquely equipped to support the wide range of family, business, charitable, and other diverse groups that truly love and are eager to serve this dynamic community”.

in local taxes during the last fiscal year. City officials have budgeted for $7.3 million in local tax revenue for FY2014. Utility costs on the rise It now costs Covington residents more money to wash dishes and flush toilets as well. Following the vote to increase the tax rate, the board approved rate increases for sewer and water fees. "Everyone's been asking me, 'How come it's so high?'" alderman Tommy Black said. "Everything's so expensive these days. It is high, I agree with

everyone else." Vice mayor John Edwards suggested the environmental protection regulations make it harder to get rid of sewer byproducts than it used to be. "As the city grows, we're going to need more sewer infrastructure," Edwards said. The two food processing industries have waste that is even more difficult to get rid of. The mayor said rates are comparable to other

cities the same size. "Our rates aren't all that much higher than in Humboldt and Trenton," Gordon said. Inside the city limits, the water rate increased from $3.81 to $3.95 per thousand gallons. Outside the city limits, the rate increased form $5.11 to $5.30 per thousand gallons. Water rates increased from $4.02 to $4.13 for the first 2,000 gallons.

FLASHBACK

New plan to protect water, forests By TOM VILSACK USDA Secretary This week, USDA and the Department of Interior announced a new effort – the Western Watershed Enhancement Partnership – to enhance our forests and protect America’s water supply. This is important for anyone who pays a water bill, and it’s important for the future of our environment. Americans in our cities depend on clean water at the tap, and our farmers and ranchers rely on water to irrigate their crops and sustain livestock. Our public lands are very important in this regard. In fact, our National Forests and interior lands provide water for more than 60 million Americans. When forests are healthy, they filter rain and snowmelt, regulate runoff and slow soil erosion – delivering clean water at lower cost. But a changing climate threatens a greater risk for severe wildfires that release sediment, debris and ash into streams and rivers. Ultimately, these impacts of wildfire make it tougher to clean the water at treatment plants. Water companies are forced to make expensive repairs to equipment and those costs are passed on to water consumers. The Western Watershed Enhancement Partnership will bring together the U.S. Forest Service, the Department of Interior’s Bureau of Reclamation, local partners and private water users to restore forest lands in a proactive way. By bringing together land and water managers from across the west, we can increase forest resiliency, improve water quality, and reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire. This promises healthier forests, and savings for water users. The new partnership was highlighted recently in President Obama’s Climate Action Plan – which calls for such proactive measures to protect the nation’s critical infrastructure and reduce the impacts of a changing climate. This week’s announcement also complements USDA’s many other efforts to conserve America’s natural resources. To ensure strong natural resource conservation in the years to come, USDA will continue to encourage Congressional passage of a comprehensive Food, Farm and Jobs Bill. Farmers, landowners and forest owners need a Food, Farm and Jobs Bill to make effective use of limited conservation funds, while building on record conservation efforts underway today. USDA is ready to combat the impacts of climate change, and put the environment on track to a healthy future. We’ll keep working together with our partners across the country to protect America’s natural resources – and we will continue to encourage Congress to achieve passage of a comprehensive Food, Farm and Jobs Bill as soon as possible.

the current controversy when they filibustered Mr. Bush’s appellate judges in 2003. So, what were Democrats complaining about? For many Democrats, getting rid of the filibuster for nominees is the first step in turning the Senate into an institution where the majority rules lock, stock and barrel. The Senate would become like the House of Representatives, in which a majority of only one vote could establish a Rules Committee with nine members of the majority and four of the minority. Every meaningful decision would be controlled by the majority. The result: The minority, its views and those it represents would become irrelevant. It would be the same as having the power to add an inning or two to a baseball game if you don’t like the score in the ninth inning. Alexis De Tocqueville, the young Frenchman who traveled the United States in the 1830s, warned against this kind of governance. He wrote that the two greatest dangers to the American democracy were Russia and the “tyranny of the majority.” In his book on Thomas Jefferson, Jon Meacham writes of an after-dinner conversation between President Adams and Vice President Jefferson.

And so was then-Minority Leader Harry Reid in 2005 when, opposing Majority Leader Bill Frist’s effort to use the “nuclear option” to kill the filibuster on judicial nominations, he said: “And once you open that Pandora’s box, it was just a matter of time before a Senate leader who couldn’t get his way on something moved to eliminate the filibuster for regular business as well. And that, simply put, would be the end of the United States Senate.” The only real confirmation issue before the Senate is Mr. Obama’s use of his recess appointment power to install two members of the National Labor Relations Board when the Senate was not in recess, a blatant affront to the constitutional separation of powers that the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals said was unconstitutional. Fortunately, a compromise has been reached in which the president is sending to the Senate two new, untainted nominees for the board. This week’s debate, however, shows the threat to SEE ALEXANDER, PAGE A5

the end of the United States Senate lingers. Those Democrats still seeking to create a Senate in which a majority can change the rules whenever it wants should be prepared for what could happen next. Their dream of a Democratic freight train running through a Senate in which a majority can do whatever it wants might turn into their nightmare if, in 2015, that freight train is the Tea Party Express.

put in, the lower your taxable income. Plus, your money can grow on a tax-deferred basis. Here’s another suggestion: Don’t be “over-cautious” with your investments. Many younger investors, apparently nervous due to market volatility of recent years, have become quite conservative, putting relatively large amounts of their portfolio into vehicles that offer significant protection of principal but little in the way of growth potential. Of course, the financial markets will always fluctuate, and downturns will occur — but when you’re young, and you have many decades in which to invest, you have time to overcome short-term declines. To achieve your longterm goals, such as a comfortable retirement, you will unquestionably need some growth elements in your portfolio, with the exact amount based on your risk tolerance and specific objectives. These aren’t the easiest times for young people. Nonetheless, with diligence, perseverance and a measure of sacrifice, you can gain some control over your financial fortunes — so look for your opportunities.

She was educated in the Tipton County Schools until she was in the 6th or 7th grade. Later, the family moved to Omaha, Nebraska. In 1938, she returned to Tipton County and married Mr. William Ware. In 1975, they moved to Stanton, then to Millington, then back to Covington, where her husband died on May 22, 1989. They were married over 40 years. Then she lived with her grandson Willie Ware, who has since passed away. She has been a resident at Covington Manor since January 2005. At the birthday celebration, relatives commented on being blessed to have a family member to reach the century age of 100, that she was born at a time when women could not even vote. Mrs. Ware received a proclamation from Mayor David Gordon and Board of Aldermen of Covington, which extended to her on behalf of the citizens of Covington and a hearty congratulations and best wishes on her special day.

Remarks were given by family members, close friends, by Covington fireman Mark Heaston, friends from Atlanta, by Mrs. Jo Ann Williams retired CNA who once cared for Mrs. Ware at the Manor, also by the Rev. Willie Pounds of Ripley and by church members and her pastor the Reverend Cavat Bass, who stated that Mrs. Ware had been a member of the mother’s board at the church for a long time, that she had been a faithful Sunday member until she suffered from a stroke 2 years ago. Gifts and birthday cards were acknowledged by the honoree’s niece, Brenda Talley of Covington, in which one particular gift was a birthday quilt with the inscription from Psalm 91, given by her church. Mrs. Ware blew them three candles on her cake, which read, “100.” Cake and punch was served to over 50 people in attendance including some of the nursing home residents. Afterwards, Mrs. Ware enjoyed more conversation of family members, collecting pictures, and was wheeled back to her room where she spends most of her days reading the bible, watching tv, talking on the telephone, and dipping snuff. Her two brothers, L. V. and Warren and their wives and her nieces and nephews, pastor and church members, stay in close contact with her. What a beautiful life. Mrs. Ware received a proclamation from the White House from the Office of President Barak Obama celebrating her 100 years.

Atoka senior center opens The newly established Senior Recreation Center at 61 Atoka McLaughlin Drive, held both an open house and also a fellowship for area seniors on July 16. The event provided an opportunity for those attending to break bread with oldfashioned spaghetti as an entrée. About 150 dinners were served and the attendees were entertained with a dance rendition from the Memphis Grizzlies Grannies and Grandpas Dance Team. The center sits next door to Bell Internal Medicine, and was a longtime vision of Dr. Darl V. Bell. The center provides a place for everything from art training, crafts, scrap booking, reading areas, exercise and computer classes for seniors, as well as additional activities. Each month there will be free educational classes offered in areas that affect the aging population, like diabetes, arthritis, hypertension, fibromyalgia, neuropathy and so many more, and UT Extension Tipton County office will offer some classes at the center. This month's speakers include: Dr. Bell, Dr. Brad Langley of Mid-South Physical Therapy & Fitness Center and Alison Braithwaite RN CDE of Novo Nordisk. The staff is planning more classes in the future. “People come in and see what we are trying to do and next thing we know there is a donation,” said Tyla Berry, newly-hired center director. “Just this weekend, I received a call from Patricia Eubanks, who donated new merchandise for our scrapbooking classes that began

Thornton’s Home Furnishing’s

in June and meet each Tuesday at 10 a.m. at the center.” Not too long ago, a practically new Yamaha keyboard was donated to offer keyboarding to seniors. Robert Harmon has volunteered to compose and direct a sing-a-long quartet at the center. Eighty-five year old Robert Choate donated two of his own oil paintings to the recreation center. Mr. Choate will be leading art classes next month and working with Nikki Miller, who is a University of Memphis intern, graduating

shortly with a degree in art. The center uses the name SRC for short and is working with many programs and activities that allow the seniors to lead themselves. The director likes to use the phrase. “for seniors, by seniors” and said this is truly the case at SRC. Line dancing classes will be offered in August as well as chair fitness and several other aerobics classes and a walker’s club is being established for area residents.

Staff and service recipients from the Crockett County Skills Center came and had lunch with us on Wednesday, July 3. Everyone had a nice time and we hope to do it again. Afterwards, staff and service recipients watched a DVD in Ms. Moneca’s room. The center was closed on Thursday, July 4 and reopened on Friday July 5. Service recipients are also played a game, worked on crafts, watched a DVD, made phone books to take home and worked on outcomes. We also have devotions Monday through Friday. On Monday, July 8, we worked on outcomes and cleaned the center.

We went to the gym to work on crafts and to exercise on Tuesday, July 9, with Jerry and Terry Bouwman, two of our former service recipients who came with us.

The couple plans to wed at 6:30 p.m. at the Crowne Plaza in Knoxville, on Saturday Aug. 3, 2013. A reception in their honor will follow.

Pinner, Ulbricht wed Jessica Lynn Pinner and Walter Ernest Ulbricht IV were married June 8, 2013 at 2:30 p.m. at the Elm Grove United Methodist Church. Dr. James “Butch” Tanner officiated. The bride is the daughter of Walter Pinner of Covington and Donna Farmer of Covington. The groom is the son of Walter Ulbricht of Yorktown, Va. and Lisa Huffman of Burlison.

Navy Airman Randi A. Pruitt, daughter of Donna and Abraham Pruitt of Covington, Tenn., along with other Sailors stationed aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis entered Dry Dock at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PSNS & IMF), Bremerton, Wash., to begin the ship's Docking Planned Incremental Availability (DPIA). The dry dock provides Sailors and shipyard workers access to the ship below the waterline for maintenance, repairs and refurbishments. Pruitt and more than 2, 000 Sailors got the ship underway from Pier Delta at Naval Base Kitsap to transit into the flooded dry dock using five tugboats. With minimal clearance on either side, the ship was then carefully positioned onto support blocks as the water slowly drained from the dock. During DPIA, Stennis is scheduled to undergo extensive maintenance and upgrades to improve its mission readiness and war-fighting capabilities. Some of the more notable evolutions expected to occur include preserving and painting the ship's hull, upgrading the propulsion plant, refurbishing the crew's berthing compartments, and a complete replacement of the ship's computer networks and work stations. Pruitt joined the Navy in May 2012. Navy Ensign William R. Gureck, a 2006 graduate of Munford High School, Munford, Tenn., recently graduated from the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., and was commissioned to his current rank. Gureck successfully completed four years of intensive academic, physical and professional training. As a graduate of the Naval Academy, Gureck completed a four-year, total-immersion program where a strong, balanced academic program focused on the educational needs of the Navy and Marine Corps, is superimposed on a strict, professional military training environment emphasizing the development of leadership skills. Navy Airman Randi A. Pruitt, daughter of Donna and Abraham Pruitt of Covington, Tenn., along with other Sailors assigned to the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) marched in the 65th Annual Armed Forces Day Parade in Bremerton, Wash. Stennis recently returned from an eight-month deployment to the U.S. 5th and 7th Fleet areas of responsibilities in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and continued Theater Security Cooperation efforts. Pruitt joined the Navy in May 2012.

In mid-July, as a customer of STEMC and voting member, you will receive in the mail a ballot. I am asking, each of you to please take the time and fill-out the ballot and return it in the preaddressed envelope. “I feel that the STEMC Board of Directors should have a representative with an engineering/surveying background.

The Civil War in Tipton County By RUSSELL BAILEY County Historian

Sergeant John Riley McCreight, (1830 - 1864) Co. C, 9th Tennessee Infantry sent the following letter to his family in Tipton County: “Shelbyville, Tenn., May 10, 1863 Dear Brother: This is Sunday and I am seated on the banks of the Duck River. I sent you a copy of the Chattanooga Rebel last week which had Bragg’s report of the battle of Murfreesboro…we went into the fight with 35,000 men and the enemy about 70,000…General (Earl) Van Dorn was killed the other day by a doctor…for being too intimate with his wife. No person seems to regret his death, the general impression is that the doctor was justified in shooting him… Dear Sister: I was agreeably surprised to see (Samuel Gladney McCreight) in camp. He arrived here safe, did not see any Yankees on his rout (sic). I am truly glad to hear that the good Lord has blessed you so abundantly…I received the good things you sent me… The soldiers are in fine spirits and

Jamestown DarSay Burton

GreetingsThis week began rather noisily. On Monday morning, I awakened to the shrill sounds underneath my windowsill. Known to be a little nosy, I grabbed my robe and went outside to see what it was. Well, there were five newborn puppies, right under my bedroom window. There are plenty of trees around the house, and I suppose the mama dog thought that was as good a spot as any to birth her pups. Not knowing what to do, I went back inside to get dressed. By the time I returned, the mama had moved every one of her babies. Wherever they are, I bet they are well hidden and safe! Wednesday at 4 p.m. at Bright Hill M.B. Church, Jamestown president Mary Burton and teacher, Rev. Pearl Andrews, met with the missionary society. Sev-

Hello everybody! Hope you’re all doing well this week! I’m a little down because our trailer was stolen again. I’m so hurt someone would do that, twice now, to a non-profit organization that already struggles financially. I don’t even want another one, because I feel like I’m putting them out there to be stolen. I’m so very embarrassed to even admit it has happened again. Please pray for the person or persons who keep doing this, as I really feel it’s the same people who took it last time, since the double lock was least one and one half inches in diameter, and it must have been cut it off with an acetylene torch. I’m convinced they rolled the trailer out to the road and then cut off the lock, because the building closest to the trailer was about 50 yards away and nothing was heard or seen. If you know who did this, please call the Tipton County Sherriff’s Office so we can get

Gilt Edge Johnny Blyue

On Saturday, West Tennessee Championship Wrestling was at the Garland Community Center. The turnout was excellent despite the hot weather. The next show is scheduled for Aug. 17 and bell time is 7:30 p.m. WTCW is a family show and the action is enjoyable. The Gilt Edge Church of Christ began its annual gospel meeting on Sunday and the turnout was good. The afternoon was spent at the Burlison Community Center for lunch and fellowship. On the prayer list: Willie Mae Lawson, Lois Smith, Andrea Stafford, Betty Baskins, Carolyn Hanks,

ready to meet (Union General William) Rosecrans at any time. We have glorious news from Virginia. We received a dispatch from Gen. (R. E.) Lee the other day stating that the Lord had blessed us with another victory and that the enemy was in full retreat and that Stonewall Jackson was in their rear as usual. Gen. Paxton was killed, Gen. Jackson severely wounded. We also have glorious news from Rome, Georgia. There were 1,800 Yankee cavalry marching on that place. Gen. (N. B.) Forrest got wind of it and he put out at double quick after them; he overhauled them, fought them 5 days, killed and wounded and captured the entire command with the loss on his side of 10 killed and 40 wounded. I think this is the grandest feat of the war; our cavalry is doing good work here. They are bringing in squads of prisoners most every day… Robert Lemmon, John Green Hall and Jon. Forsyth arrived in camp last week from Camp Chase (Ohio prison)… There is a great deal of religious feeling in the army here and also in Virginia. A great many have professed…on last Sunday I stood on the banks of the Duck River amid a large

crowd and witnessed the emersion (sic) of 10 soldiers. They formed a line, took each other by the hand and marched in to the river. There were a good many ladies there to witness the scene. After they came out of the water several of the ladies came up and extended the right hand of fellowship to them…when I witnessed the above scene I could not refrain from shedding tears. On the evening of the same day in the 13th Regt. Tenn. Volunteers the ordinance of baptism was administered to several by sprinkling… We have organized a Christian Association in our Regiment, the object of which is to advance the cause of our blessed Master, to pray with and for each other, and to keep down vice and immorality…we have a vigilance and relief committee. Their duty is to visit and relieve the sick, to watch over the conduct of the members… Capt. J. L. Hall is our president…we meet every Sunday evening; we have prayer meeting every Sunday night. It is pleasant to meet at the close of each day to pray with and for each other and those at home which we love so dearly…

eral ladies were in attendance for another spiritual lesson. This week we celebrate several birthdays: J. Debra King and Lena Bell, July 20, and JaCinta Jones on the 21st. Happy birthday also to Sandra Baer Cobbs and Izola Bradford on the 28th. Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m., Sabrina Bell, oldest daughter of Joanne Bell, will introduce her fiance, both of Dallas, at a small family gathering at Bahama Breeze in Germantown. They plan to marry next July in Nashville. Congratulations, Sabrina and Ray! Sabrina’s father is Walter Joseph Bell Jr. of Millington. She’s the granddaughter of the late Nehemiah and Josephine Burton of Jamestown and of the late Mrs. Walker J. Bell Sr. of Millington. We are in prayer for Jennie Stewart, Ruth Alston, Connie Brown, Carlotta Jones, Vetrice Teamer, Isiah Burton, Sr., Rev.

our trailer back! The Bible says, “’Vengeance is mine,’ says the Lord,” and I believe that! If you’re guilty and reading this, your day will come! Moving on to more positive things: I’m happy to report Bo Skinner was released from the hospital this past Thursday. Welcome home, Bo, we didn’t have anyone to fuss at, and we missed you so much! Ha! Ha! We are still praying for your brother-in-law. My goodness, there has been so much rain this week that I believe we’re all going to turn into ducks! I’m sure the farmers need whatever the good Lord gives them, but it does get to be too much sometimes- it’s just depressing when it keeps on and on! Do I hear an amen? Oh yeah! There is currently an available apartment. If you know of anyone 55+ who needs an independent living place, please let me know by calling 476-7014. The apartment has a really huge bedroom, two small bedrooms, a full bathroom and a half, a big living room

and a fairly small kitchen. The rent is $1,000 a month, with utilities and all maintenance included. Our deepest sympathy goes out to the Suzanne Moffatt May family. Suzanne was the precious daughter of Ms. Mary M. Moffatt here at Dunlap Retirement Center. Suzanne fought the good fight with cancer for several years, but she is in the arms of her Lord now and also her daddy, Mr. Calvin Moffatt. We all are so sorry for your loss, Mark, Celeste and Ms. Mary. She was indeed a wonderful and loving young woman and she will be sorely missed! You are all in our prayers. Until next week, take good care of each other, and show your love to the ones you love and even the ones you don’t want to love sometimes! God be with you all.

Carla Carlson, DeVaughn Jackson, Sami Jo Schulz, Jamie Cooley and Shannon Morgan. Also remember Dennis Gholson, Jody Coker, Ian Boswell, Michael Barton, Ryan Hisrch, E. J. Perkins, Seth Kellow, Chance Hall, Michael Watson, and the brave men and women who serve in the military. To those who serve, thank you. Happy birthdays this week to Willie Mae Lawson, Larry Osbourn, Michael Hall and belated happy birthday to Martha Williams. On an end note, I would like to thank Kenny Hamer for an Arkansas Razorbacks cap at the WTCW show on Saturday night. Thanks Kenny. Until next time.

FOR POSITION 2, DISTRICT 1 ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR SOUTHWEST TENNESSEE ELECTRIC MEMBERSHIP CORPORATION

As a director, our roles and responsibilities are to represent prudently the interests of the members in directing the business and affairs of the co-operative. We strive to practice due diligence in exercising the care that is required of a director. STEMC management hires the best engineers, accountants, linemen and employees that it takes to operate a successful co-operative. Our current board consists of successful business owners, farmers, teachers, insurers, and an engineer. It has been my privilege to serve you for the past 8 years.

A look back: Dixonville School By SHERRI ONORATI Special to The Leader

Editor's note: The folllowing is another story in The Leader's series highlighting historical Tipton County Schools. If anyone has stories, documents or pictures of any Tipton County historical school they’d like to share, please contact Sherri Onorati at rienik@comcast.net. Dixonville was a colored school located in the southwest section of Tipton County near Drummonds. The earliest records for Dixonville begin with the 1923/24 school term and end with the 1935 term. Records reveal the building was a two-room school house on approximately a half-acre and erected in 1916, which, like many colored schools of the time, never had the necessary or proper equipment needed for its students. One room had a wood blackboard and the other, a paper one. There were two different sizes of seats but only seven of them in its beginning and 20 at the end of the school’s use. Water had to be brought to the school every day as none was located on the grounds. There were no restrooms for the children to use during the early years and records show that they weren’t installed until 1932. There were no playgrounds, no library books, no teacher’s desks, no recitation seats and no paint on the walls. They did have use of one clock, one bell, six erasers but no chalk, two buckets and two dippers. The student population varied from 60 to 100 students. Families who sent their children to the school came from the areas of Tipton Rt. #1, Drummonds Rt. #1 and Kerrville Rt. #1 and includ-

ed the family names of Brown, Clay, Green, Hicks, Jones, Watson, Howard, Peete, Sneed, Bowells, Mabones, Guyton, Knox, Strong, Weare, Bond, Jones, Clemons, Payne and others. The 1924 school term began on Aug. 6, 1923 and ended on Feb. 29, 1924. Miss. Bessie L. Sparks, 20, from Tupelo, Miss., was one of the teachers. She was certified to teach 2nd grade. She had three years of teaching experience, with two of those years at Dixonville. She wrote in her teacher’s book she had visited eight homes during the school year but she didn’t live in the community. She was paid $40 a month to teach 62 students in grades 1st thru 6th grade. She also was required to pay $10 a month in room and board. The other teacher at the school was 21-year old Florence Weakly. She earned $38 a month to teach. She had no room and board to pay as she was married and lived in the community. Weakly was responsible for teaching 45 students; 22 boys and 23 girls. Students attended school from 8:45 a.m. until dismissal at 3:30 p.m. In between those hours, they studied arithmetic, spelling, language, reading, geography, hygiene and history. They were given an hour recess each day between 12 noon and 1 p.m. Weakly wrote in her teacher’s book at the end of the year she had three students who had perfect attendance during the 100 days of the term, even though they lived more than two miles from the school: twelve-year old 5th grader Verlie Bond, 11-year old 4th grader Ellen Sneed and 14-year old 5th grader Lucy Weare. During the 1929/30 school year, 22-

year old Harrold Harvey was a teacher at Dixonville. He attended Manassas High and Millington schools and attended A & I College in Nashville for normal school. He had four years of experience and had taught at the school the previous year. Harvey reported he was not married but did have three dependants to support. He was paid $45 a month in salary and charged $10 in room and board. He taught 63 students in grades 1st thru 7th. During the 1933/34 school term which ran from Aug. 14, 1933 until June 15, 1934, Willie Yarbro of Covington was the teacher. She had been at the school for two years already and taught grades 1st thru 8th. She had 69 students and reported the children of Sollie Sneed Sr., 7-year old Sollie Sneed Jr. and 6-year old Marchless, both 1st graders, and their sister, 9-year old 3rd grader Rosezette Sneed had perfect attendance throughout the year. Little Marchless earned straight As in all his subjects. Sollie Jr. earned an A in reading, C in spelling, B in writing and a C in deportment. Their older sister was also a good student, earning an 83 in reading, 93 in spelling, 80 in writing, 83 in arithmetic, 90 in English, 98 in geography and a 90 in deportment. The last teacher of Dixonville was Miss Elnoria Roberts. Born on Oct. 19, 1910, she was the only teacher who taught during the 1934/35 school year, responsible for grades 1st thru 8th. With

three years of experience, she was paid $30 a month and charged $12 a month for room and board. She attended Tipton County Training and Woodstock Training Schools for her education. The least year of Dixonville had 89 students, ranging from ages 6 to 17 years. They spent 75 minutes on arithmetic, geography, reading and spelling; 45 minutes on drawing, English and writing; and 30 minutes on U.S. history and physiology and hygiene. This year, Marchless Sneed was in the 2nd grade and was promoted to the 3rd. Rosezette, in the 4th, was promoted to the 5th grade but young Sollie Sneed, Jr., who was still in the 1st grade was held back once again. In all, Roberts wrote that out of the 89 students enrolled, 57 were promoted and 32 failed.

FFA attends leadership camp By JERRY JOHNSON Covington FFA The Covington FFA recently attended Tennessee FFA Leadership Camp in beautiful Van Buren County.

Splash Pad Opens Cooking With Claudia Summer’s Bounty—What Joy! What greater time can there be? Summer brings us the freshest vegetables and the sweetest fruits and an herb garden filled with savory herbs just waiting to be used to enhance the simplest of dishes. Even if we don’t have a garden like my friend, Claude Shoaf, (and who does?), we can still reap the benefits of fruits and vegetables that are locally grown. This is our 3rd year to grow tomatoes. The first year I had to try and be smart and grow heirloom tomatoes. They were too small and Bob asked, “Who eats yellow and purple tomatoes?” The next year, we tried some heirloom, but planted the traditional plants. They were a little better, but not great. This year, Bob and I feel pretty darn good about our homegrown tomatoes. Still not like Claude’s, but hey, he has a few more years on us and his naturally green thumb couldn’t hurt!! For our next First Friday Coffee, I will be using many recipes made with fresh vegetables, especially tomatoes. My Bacon and Tomato Pie is probably my most requested recipe. I printed this in an earlier Cooking with Claudia. This time I am making Mini Tomato-Parmesan Tarts. A new recipe I want to try sounds just too simple, but really good. It is Tomato Gratin. A gratin is any dish topped with cheese or breadcrumbs mixed with butter, then heated until browned. This one has plenty of fresh tomatoes and herbs, and a touch of full-flavored cheese and a crispy crumb topping. I hope you enjoy.

First Friday Coﬀee in July was sponsored by the Town of Atoka and held at the new Atoka Splash Pad. A ribbon cutting was held at the Atoka Splash Pad. Ribbon cuttings are sponsored by First Citizens National Bank.

Second Thursday Lunch in July was held at Olympic Steak & Pizza in Atoka.

Tomato Gratin—(Delish.com) 4 slices whole-grain bread, torn into quarters 1 Tablespoon minced garlic 1 Tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1/3 cup finely shredded Romano, or 4 medium tomatoes, sliced Parmesan cheese 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper ¼ teaspoon salt Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Coat a shallow 2-quart baking dish with nonstick spray. Place bread in a food processor and pulse until coarse crumbs form. Add garlic, oil and cheese; pulse to combine. Spread the seasoned breadcrumbs on a baking sheet and bake until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, layer tomato slices in the prepared baking dish, sprinkling each layer with basil, pepper and salt. Bake the tomatoes for 10 minutes; sprinkle with the toasted breadcrumbs, and bake for 10 more minutes. Serve immediately. Mini Tomato-Parmesan Tarts—Cooking Light 1 ½ cups finely diced seeded tomatoes 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed ¼ cup minced shallots 1 Tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 2/3 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme 2 teaspoons champagne or white wine vinegar ¼ teaspoon kosher salt Fresh small basil leaves ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine the tomatoes, shallots, olive oil, vinegar, thyme, and pepper. Place a sheet of pastry dough on a work surface lightly dusted with flour. Gently roll to a 10 x 12 rectangle. Cut the dough with a 2 ½ inch round cutter into 20 rounds. Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Prick the dough liberally with a fork. Top each round with about ¾ teaspoon cheese and about 2 teaspoons tomato mixture. Repeat procedure with remaining dough, cheese, and tomato mixture. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes or until golden, rotating pans once during baking. Sprinkle tarts evenly with salt. Sprinkle with basil leaves, if desired.

McKinley signs for soccer with St. Catharine College Brighton High School soccer standout Amanda McKinley signed a soccer scholarship last week to attend St. Catharine College. McKinley, a midfielder at Brighton, was named the most improved player on the team as a sophomore. Last fall, as a senior, she won the team's sportsmanship award. She plans to major in sonagraphy at St. Catharine, which is located in St. Catharine, Ky.

“Amanda is a solid player with good speed and a good cross,” said St. Catharine coach Paul Patton. “She is good at getting out wide during the game and will bring us additional depth and competition for the outside midfield positions … I am excited about Amanda joining our program and being a part ofa strong recruiting class. I expect she will be a great asset to the team this fall.”
