“It’s a family friendly event and the original extreme sport. Also, we’ll have the world’s champion rodeo clown," said Covington mayor David Gordon.

The rodeo will be held at the Covington Saddle Club arena at 7:30 p.m. both nights and will feature such contests as saddle

“I hope everyone will come out and see

the rodeo,” Gordon said.

NEIGHBORS

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Budget amendments were the main topic of conversation at Monday night's meeting of the Tipton County Legislative Body.

The commissioners approved the amended 2012-13 budget as presented

by Bobby Alsbrook, the school system's budget director.

Alsbrook presented a budget that was amended from $89.471 million to $93.501 million.

The amendments were necessary, Alsbook said, because funding for several federal projects was not finalized when the original budget was made. The federal project budget increased from $5.27 million to $8.501 million, with the remainder of the amendments coming out of the general fund.

Alsbrook said he expects the school system to use between $100,000 and $150,000 out of fund balance to balance the budget.

The commissioners also approved various amendments to the county's 2012-13 budget, which is $123 million.

Quincy Barlow, the director of the county's finance committee, said money was transferred between various accounts, but the amendments did not require the county to spend any extra money.

“Everything zeroed out,” Barlow said, “but we did transfer a lot of money around.”

County Executive Jeff Huffman said he expects the 2013-14 county budget to be presented to the commissioners next month.

“We're working on it right now,” Huffman said. “A lot of it is already finished.”

A continuing budget resolution was passed, allowing the county to go past the June 30 budget deadline.

The meeting was recessed instead of ended to allow for the finalization of budget amendments. The meeting will resume June 24 at 7 p.m.

In other matters: • Director of Schools Dr. Buddy Bibb presented ACT results for 11 rural West Tennessee counties from a state department report.

Tornado victims in need of help

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com On the first 90-degree day of the year, Bo McClain is on his lawnmower, mowing grass to give his two-year-old son a place to play.

"He really loves it out here," McClain said, looking around the property where he was born, raised and continues to live.

Until a tornado damaged the house his father built in 1939, that was.

"We really prayed for (the victims of the tornado in) Oklahoma, then it happened to us," said Margaret Frame, McClain's fiancée.

The couple, along with their son, Clinton Lewis, and Frame's 78-yearold father, who is also blind, are trying to rebuild their lives after they were disrupted by the EF-1 tornado that ripped through the Mt. Lebanon community two weeks ago.

McClain and Frame were in the living room, awake, when it hit.

"They always say it sounds like a freight train coming through, and it does," Frame said. "It was my first tornado I've been through, it's a scary feeling."

McClain said they heard the storm and he told his fiancée to hold on.

"When the windows blew out, I knew we were in for trouble," McClain said.

The 74-year-old home was knocked off of its foundation, windows were broken, limbs came through the roof of Clinton's bedroom. You can look at the corner of the living room and, because the connecting walls were pulled away from one another, see into one of the bedrooms.

Frame's father was lying on a hospital bed near windows in the same room but, thankfully, the windows next to him remained intact.

Outside, the swings and slide connected to Clinton's playset remain missing, toys were broken, the shed was knocked down, the gas tank and their vehicles were moved and the chicken coop was damaged.

Their five hens survived, surprisingly, and, the important part is, they did too.

But they need help rebuilding.

"It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't just have knee surgery," McClain said.

Out of work since Thanksgiving,

McClain had his first knee surgery in November and his second less than a month before the tornado hit.

"Like I told the insurance lady, we're on a very, very tight budget around my house," he said.

They're not sure what will be covered by the insurance company, but will need help meeting the deductible.

"We didn't lose any clothes or much furniture, so we don't need those things," he said. "Money would really go further than anything."

After a brief hotel stay funded by the American Red Cross, the family has been renting a home in the northwest part of Covington.

To help the family, Dr. Jesse Cannon has set up a donation fund at Patriot Bank.

"I am pleading for all my friends to join me in helping a family that was a victim of the tornado that hit Covington area last week," he said via Facebook this week.

Anyone wishing to donate to the Bo McClain fund can do so at any Patriot Bank branch. Donations can also be sent to Patriot Bank at P.O. Box 865, Covington, TN 38019.

Q&A WITH GLENN BAKER

www.covingtonleader.com Age: 63 Family: Married to Linda Young Baker; four sons, seven grandchildren and two greatgrandchildren Education: George R. Ellis High School (1968), US Army 1969 – 1971, Graduate of Tennessee Technology Center at Covington and State Technical Institute-Memphis, Attended University of Tennessee and University of Memphis Vehicle: 2007 Chevrolet Silverado Favorite music: gospel, rhythm and blues Favorite beverage: Southern sweet iced tea Favorite food: all vegetables, Southern cooking Favorite book/magazine: all self-help books; RV, camping and photography magazines Favorite movie: any action/adventure

Editor’s note: This week we are continuing a feature called Q&A. Through this feature we hope to help you get to know your neighbors, government officials and others in the community. Today we feature Glenn Baker, the coordinator of special training and recruitment at the Tennessee Technology Center at Covington. He's been employed at the school for 36 years.

Q: When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up ?

A: An artist. I always enjoyed sketching and drawing pictures of animals and landscapes.

I have been able to use my artistic ability in my present career. I also use my creative ability as a photographer, which is a hobby of mine.

Q: What person had the biggest influence on you growing up and why?

A: My grandparents.

They raised six of us on a small farm after my mother passed away at an early age in a loving home where good morals and values to include work ethics were taught and practiced.

Q: What do you like to do in your spare time?

A: Quality time at home, spending time with family, RV camping and traveling local and abroad.

Q: Tell us some of the benefits of attending a school like TTC instead of a four-year school.

A: Affordable and

documented short- and long-term training that prepares students for high-tech employment opportunities in today’s manufacturing environment. The TTC system currently has one of the highest graduation rates, placement rates and licensure rates in the country. Add this to some of the lowest tuition costs in the nation on the postsecondary training level and that should help any person making a decision on attending the TTC instead of attending a two-year orfour year school.

Q: Can you think of a success story involving a TTC graduate?

A: My wife Linda and I began our career at the TTC-Covington after a plant closure. I attended the Technology Center, graduated, worked and became employed at the Technology Center as the sheet metal/metal fabrication instructor.

While employed I received my AS degree from State Technical Institute at Memphis and continued my education at UT and U of M. Later

I became part of the center's administrative team. Linda’s nursing career also begins at the Technology Center. She graduated the practical nursing program, received an associate nursing degree at Dyersburg State community college and completed her BSN degree at University of Memphis. Like us, many students' careers began at the TTC and have either continued their education or advanced in their chosen occupation and career.

Lifeblood hosting donor drive

Lawler retires as coach

By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com Longtime Covington High School softball coach Martha Lawler announced her retirement from coaching last week.

“Dad was transferred to a church in Alabama so I attended the University of North Alabama playing basketball and softball for three years,” said Lawler, when asked about what led her to Covington.

“When I graduated in 1983, I was hired as a science teacher at Crestview Elementary straight out of school. During the 1983-84 season, I umpired softball for Coach Lackey. I should have stayed where the ‘big money’ was in umpiring, but the next year, 1984, John Wells and Don Chandler called and offered me the CHS softball job. The ‘big money’ is not in coaching softball for sure.”

Thus, with a laugh and a smile, began a spirited, laugh-filled interview with Lawler, who leaves the coaching stage after a remarkable 29-year run, all at Covington High.

Few in the state can match her team’s records. With only one losing season, a 14-16 year in 1997, CHS complied a 775-264 (74.5 percent winning percentage, 27 wins a year) record under Lawler.

The Lady Chargers won 12 consecutive district championships from 1984-95, added another in 1998, had back-to-back championships in 200001 and then tacked on six more from 2005-10.

Just for good measure, Lawler’s team won seven straight regional and sectional titles from 1986-93.

They also topped the region another eight times and took an incredible 13 consecutive region crowns from 1998-2010.

For 20 of her 29 years at the helm, Lawler guided her Lady Chargers to the state tournament with teams appearing in the championship series in

1986, 1989, 2006 and 2010, all runner-up finishes.

“If I have a regret,” she said. “it is the two titles that got away when we entered the championship round needing only one game to win it all and not being able to get it done. It hurts more than you can imagine but it seems that it was just not meant to be.”

Softball has not been Lawler’s sole activity. In addition to the duties of a biology teacher, which she will continue, Lawler served as head and assistant girls basketball coach several times. She also was head and assistant coach for several years for Lady Charger volleyball.

It was a vain attempt to try to name all of her players who went on to play softball in college.

There were just too many to count, although Lawler offered that she had six former players on the diamond at the next level last season, the most at one time in her career.

She balked at naming the best players she had coached.

“I knew that question was coming,” she said, laughing. “I can’t do that.

There were so many and for so many different reasons: playing ability, versatility and heart.”

Finally, she would allow that the four players whose jerseys were retired during her tenure would qualify as the best: Gabby Glenn and Tobie Joy on their stats, and Amy Ruffin and Lori Deverell Pearson, who lost their lives at an early age.

Asked about her best team, the answer was quick and certain.

“2010 without a doubt,” she said. “That team set a school record at 48-3 and that included 45 consecutive wins. We were one game from the title that year but Camden came back and won two in a row to keep us from the championship.

It still hurts and always will.”

“It has been a great ride,” Lawler said. “Our success was a result of good players who worked hard, assistant coaches who did everything that it takes to produce a winner and the unfailing support of the administration.

“We had some crazy things happen over the years like a state tournament game in Chattanooga that we were winning when the lights went out.

It broke our momentum and we ended up losing.

“The strangest thing was the year that the state was played in Southaven, Miss. Go figure. The Tennessee state softball tournament in Mississippi?

What’s up with that?

“Probably the toughest time was our stint in Class AAA. That was the toughest competition we faced until we got to the district we just left. A 10team district with only two teams eligible for the region from among four or five top programs was a real struggle. Several really good team got left behind this year.”

Befitting her status as the child of Rev. David Lawler, Lawler offered the following valedictory from Second Timothy 4:7: “I have fought a good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith.”

No doubt she will be affirmed in that sentiment by the fans of CHS, her players and the legacy she leaves behind.

It doesn't take much to save a life.

Just ask Kenny Young.

The Covington resident is a 13-gallon donor who gives whenever he can.

"I was in a bad accident myself a long time ago and realized I could help save someone's life by giving blood."

This week, Lifeblood is celebrating its 50th anniversary by hosting a donor fest, a week-long event to increase blood donations during the summer.

The organization's goal is to have 1,963 units of blood donated in the Greater Memphis Area from June 9-15, as a nod to the year the non-profit was founded.

Summer is a crucial time for Lifeblood, a time when more donations are needed.

"The summer is often the most diffi-

cult time for Lifeblood, as the need for blood is high but donations are low," said Molly Okeon, spokesperson for the organization. "To counteract this, Lifeblood is scheduling a week-long blitz at its donor centers and mobile drives in hopes of encouraging new, regular and lapsed donors to give blood."

Covington's Lifeblood donation center closed months ago, but the blood mobile has been making its way around Tipton and Lauderdale counties to encourage donors to give. Next week, the blood mobile will be located at Walmart Supercenter, 628 U.S. 51, in Ripley.

Young encourages anyone who is eligible to give, or even those who are unsure if they can give, to stop by.

"You never know whose life might be saved – it could be someone you know or even someone in your family."

LEGAL NOTICE

TEXAS GAS ABANDONMENT PROJECT NOTICE OF PROPOSED ABANDONMENT OF INTERSTATE NATURAL GAS PIPELINE FACILITIES On May 29, 2013, Texas Gas Transmission, LLC (Texas Gas), a subsidiary of Boardwalk Pipeline Partners, LP filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) under Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act in Docket No. CP13-485-000.

Texas Gas has proposed to abandon certain segments of the 26-inch interstate natural gas pipeline it currently operates in this county. Specifically, Texas Gas is seeking authority from the FERC to abandon in place approximately 623 miles of its mainline pipeline facilities from Hardinsburg, Kentucky to Eunice, Louisiana, including all auxiliary and associated facilities.

The facilities to be abandoned consist primarily of one of three “looped” parallel pipelines that comprise a portion of Texas Gas’ mainline facilities. Upon receipt of FERC authority, the pipeline will be taken out of natural gas service and repurposed for use in natural gas liquids transportation service. Texas Gas anticipates abandonment of these facilities to commence during the second quarter of 2014. Following abandonment, Texas Gas will continue to provide natural gas service on its remaining pipeline facilities, which will remain mostly in the same easement, from Hardinsburg, Kentucky to Eunice, Louisiana.

The Texas Gas Abandonment Project is more fully described in the application to FERC. A copy of the application is available at the Tipton County Public Library, 300 West Church Avenue, Covington, TN 38019. The application may also be viewed on the FERC website at www.ferc.gov, using the “eLibrary” link by entering the docket number in the docket number field to access the document. Further, a separate notice regarding this project will be mailed directly to landowners who are considered affected by the current proposal, under FERC regulations, and to relevant government entities.

For information on becoming involved in the FERC review of this project and/or to obtain the FERC pamphlet, An Interstate Natural Gas Facility on My Land? What Do I Need to Know?, go to the FERC website at www.ferc.gov. You may also contact the FERC Office of External Affairs at (202) 502-8004 or toll-free at (866) 208-3372.

FLASHBACK

GUEST OPINION

It’s time for American dependency to end Slavery is awful! Whether the Hebrews of the Old Testament led to freedom by Moses, the slavery experienced in the United States leading up to the Civil War, or the slavery that still exists in many Third World and Islamic countries, especially with children and women, it is an evil institution.

With that said, not all forms of slavery are against a person’s will, though often it may seem that way. There are those who are slaves to their vices, or “sin”, such as drugs, alcohol, gambling, over eating, or just spending money on things they cannot afford. Addictions to these and other vices can become a form of slavery that requires unwanted intervention or a person choosing to be free, J IM HARDIN whether through the “pull yourself up” method or leaning on religious faith.

Perhaps the most pervasive form of slavery in the Western World and especially here in the United States is what I call chattel dependency – people who become slaves to others for their basic necessities such as housing, food, medical care, etc., though they are capable of working and providing for their own needs.

Now, those who intentionally game the various systems we have but would work if left with no other option I do not put in this category. In a way, we are slaves to them, working to pay for their selfish laziness. The modern dependency slave is one who truly believes they are entitled, often those who were simply raised in the system and do not know another way.

If your grandmother was in public housing, received welfare checks, collected food stamps and placed your father on free breakfast and lunch programs at school, and then your mother did the same, it is no wonder you would think this is normal. You’ve become a slave to dependency. Your basic needs are met but what about your wants and desires? Government assistance has moved into providing free cell phones and internet, but often those left in this dependency state turn to crime to get the things even the taxpayer cannot cover – nice clothes, fast cars, or expensive restaurants.

You cannot work because if you show an income, your government assistance could be cut. You’re stuck in a low income situation often living in squalid Section 8 or other public housing. You get just enough to get by, but not enough to live a much better life. You are a slave to dependency and in many ways no better off than those forced into work slavery in the 1800 and before.

Now what I am about to say will anger many, but truth be told who are the modern day slave holders? The landlords sucking tax dollars through Section 8. The social workers encouraging this life of dependency rather than encouraging education and work. The Democratic Party that promotes such dependency in return for the vote. The party of slave owner, Andrew Jackson, has replaced one form of slavery for another.

We need the Republican Party of 1860 and Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglas to rise up and call for a new emancipation. It won’t be pain free and will involve a social, if not civil, war, but it’s time to once and for all end the slavery of dependence.

high and dry, but their proposal raises taxes to do it – and it’s unconstitutional since it is a revenue bill originating in the Senate.

If Congress does not reach an agreement before the end of the month, the cost of these loans for students will go up. Our proposal would save students money now, but would also ensure that in the future, loan rates reflect the market – it is fair to students, and it is fair to taxpayers.

Hopefully Democrats in the Senate will stop playing politics. You might say this is the opening act of the circus – it will not take long, and it may be a little embarrassing, but after Congress gives it some thought, maybe we can sit down and solve this problem.

I think we should show these students that we support them.

Instead of leaving them high and dry, we should be congratulating them – and giving them their ticket to the middle class.

If so, how many years your needs.

Still, even after maximizing your investments, you may come up short of what you’ll need, given your desired retirement date.

Consequently, you may need to consider working a couple of extra years. If you like your career, you may find that moving out your retirement date isn’t so bad — you’ll bring in more earned income and you may be able to delay taking Social Security, which would eventually result in bigger monthly checks. Plus, you could postpone your withdrawals from your 401(k) and IRA, giving these accounts more time in which to potentially grow. (Keep in mind, though, that once you turn 70-1/2, you’ll have to start taking money from your 401(k) and your traditional IRA.) In any case, do what you can to retire when you want — but be flexible enough in your thinking so that you won’t be shocked or dismayed if you need to slightly extend your working years. By “covering your bases” in this way, you can be ready for whatever comes your way.

Cub Scout Day Camp

Over 50 Cub Scouts attended Cub Scout Day Camp the week of June 4-7. The annual camp, which took place at Cobb Parr Park, was hosted by the Big Hatchie District of the West Tennessee Area Council. The Big Hatchie District is comprised of Tipton, Lauderdale, Fayette and Haywood counties. The scouts participated in such activities as BB shooting, archery, hiking, swimming and crafts, along with earning some of the achievements for their rank in scouting. The Covington Parks and Recreation department, Tipton County Museum, Covington Pool, Covington Fire Department and the Covington Boy Scout Troop contributed the use of their facilities. Numerous volunteers also helped.

Accidents in national parks

As an injury lawyer, the way people are injured or killed is strangely interesting to me. As I write this I am traveling through multiple national parks in the western United States with my family, which has been a dream of ours for many years.

If you asked most visitors to national parks what they are afraid of, it will usually be a bear attack.

And, bears have killed people. But it is rare.

43-year-old prospector was hiking down a place in the Grand Canyon called “Snake Gulch.”

Apparently it was well named. A rattlesnake loudly rattled at him and reportedly made a partial strike. While the snake never touched him, the man died of a heart attack!

Nineteen scalding deaths have been recorded in David Peel What should they really connection with Peel Law Firm be afraid of?

In 1992, a 38-year-old jumped onto a wall at the Grand Canyon and acted like he was falling.

He wind-milled his arms trying to scare his teenaged daughter, he jumped onto a short slope to complete the act. Unknown to his bored daughter, he slipped and fell silently about 400 feet into the abyss.

Suicides are surprisingly common in national parks. But one stands out. One man on a scenic helicopter flight, purposely jumped about 4,000 feet.

It reportedly took 15 Park Service Personnel to gather the body parts.

SCHOOL DAYS

A look back: Craig’s Chapel

By SHERRI ONORATI Special to The Leader

sponsored by

Editor's note: This summer, The Leader is continuing its summer series on Tipton County’s former community schools. At one time, there were more than 100 community schools located throughout Tipton County. These stories are about those historical schools, the teachers and the students, which helped developed Tipton County’s educational system into one of the best in the state. To kick-off the 2013 series, we’ll take a look at Craig’s Chapel, once located in the Brighton community.

Although, it’s been hard to determine when Craig’s Chapel first started its school, records at the Tipton County Board of Education do show that it was in operation, and the district was paying teachers at the school, as far back as 1911. There are written records that describe the school as a frame building, erected in 1918. The one-room building was just 600 square feet sitting on a half acre. It was lighted by windows on three sides and came with an ordinary stove for heating in the winter, windows for ventilation and two different size seats for students.

There was well water on the grounds and one unsanitary toilet.

The students had use of a hylo plate blackboard, but no library books, and the only playground equipment was an old basketball, valued at $1.

Teachers The list of verifiable teachers who left their mark on Craig’s Chapel included: 1912 Clemmie Adkinson 1913 M. Williams 1914 Lottie Cothran 1915 Mary A. Walker 1916 Miarianna Walker and Annie Stevens 1917 Annie Stevens and Lillian Nelson 1918 H.M. Sweat 1919 Pauline Blankenship 1920 Lois Black 1921-22 Myrtle Baskin 1923 Veatrice May Lall 1924-25 Gertrude Lyles 1926-27 Gazle Turnage 1928 Alma Billings 1929 Bessie Joyner 1930-33 Gazle Turnage 1934 Lena Ellen Goss 1935 Louise Templeton School Days Available teachers' records begin with the 1923-24 term, with Gertrude Lyles as the educator of the one-room schoolhouse. That year, the school year began on Aug. 6, 1923, and dismissed on Apr. 18, 1924, for a total of 160 school days with just two “lost” days according to Lyles – Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Students at the school were between the ages of five to 18 and in grades 1st through 7th grade.

Jeff McMillian, Doctor of Optometry 185 Wesley Reed Dr. Suite E • Atoka, TN 38004 (901) 840-EYES (3937) SHIP and The Aging Commission of the Mid-South began in March, providing quarterly presentations for new Medicare beneficiaries.

Above is a list of students who attended Craig's Chapel School in the 1920s.

The school did teach up to 8th grade but there were no students in the 8th grade that year. School began promptly at 8:30 a.m. with chapel exercises and concluded at 3:30 with spelling, the last subject of the day. And just as teachers today have a set and precise schedule to follow for students, in the early 20th century, Craig’s Chapel was no different. The daily schedule consisted of: 8:30 – 8:45 8:45 – 10 10 – 10:15 10:15 – 11:50 Noon-1 1 – 1:45 1:45 – 2:30 2:30 – 3 3 – 3:15 3:15 – 3:30

chapel exercises reading recess arithmetic noon lunch language geography history seat work spelling

During the 1923-24 school year, there were a total of 46 students from the Compton, Craig, Gladden, Gookin, Hanks, Higgins, Holliman, Ralph, Suggs, Turnage, Wardell and Wilson families. All of the students came from farm families and traveled up to two miles a day to get to school. By the end of the year, 25 students had dropped from the school rolls and only 21 were promoted to the next grade.

At the conclusion of the 1926-27 school year, there were 36 students, but only one, an 8-year-old 3rd grader by the name of Ruby Velma Hanks, completed the year with perfect attendance. Little Ruby walked a mile and a half to attend school each day and she loved to go. The proof is in her attendance record and in her grades – she ended the term with straight A’s and was promoted to the 4th grade. Ruby, the daughter of Joseph C. Hanks, graduated from 8th grade in 1932 at age 12 – again with perfect attendance and straight A’s. In fact, during her eight years at Craig’s Chapel, she only missed 11 days of school and 10 of those days were when she was in the 4th grade. She also achieved straight A’s every year.

In 1933, Gazle Turnage was the

This presentation has been designed to help the “new to” or “nearly new to” Medicare beneficiaries more clearly understand their Medicare Benefits.

School Improvement The last record available for the school ends with the 1934-35 school year. The building and heating plant were valued at $500, with the grounds listed at $25.

The school added 27 new books to the library, a donation from the Junior PTA of Washington.

Students ran the School Improvement Association this year. They had 12 members and held four meetings, which they boasted had a 90 percent attendance rate. The students raised $14.50 for the year and spent 40 cents on repairing desks and furniture and another $11.45 on unidentified expenses.

They ended the year with a balance of $2.65.

Anyone with additional information or pictures on Craig’s Chapel or any Tipton County community school is encouraged to contact Sherri Onorati at 901237-0422 or rienik@comcast.net.

Dr. Will says he’s eager to serve new patients in this community.

“As a pediatrician, I have the opportunity to not only meet the health needs of children, but to minister to the emotional and spiritual needs of these children and their families, as well.”

Dr. Will graduated from Lipscomb University, in Nashville,

teacher at Craig’s Chapel, having seven years of experience under her belt with six of them at Craig’s Chapel. She was issued permanent certificate #29174 on June 30, 1930. She was a single, 26-year old and made $67.50 a month to teach 32 students in grades 1st thru 8th.

At the end of the year, she wrote that the school had a leaking roof over the porch and five yards of blackboard. There were nine erasers in the classroom, two brooms, one bucket, one shovel and two dippers.

A school improvement association was started during the 1933-34 term. The president was the teacher for that year, Miss Lena Ellen Goss and the secretary was Mrs. Clyde Hanks. The association had 10 members and they held five meeting throughout the year. The group raised $26.75 during the year and bought a new globe for the classroom for $1, four library books for $1.50, school decorations in the amount of $13.60 and other expenditures amounted to $10.65. The school had 53 students – 27 boys and 26 girls.

NEW DOCTOR

Covington has a new pediatrician, Dr. Will Wiseman, who will soon open Covington Children’s Clinic, an affiliate of Baptist Medical Group. The new practice is located across the highway from the hospital in the former office of Dr. Jimmie Beasley.

Having had his own private practice in Nashville for 10 years, Dr. Will, as he is fondly known by his patients and families, says, “Covington feels a lot like the town in which I grew up, Tifton, Georgia."

From his first visit to Covington, Dr. Will fell in love with the small town appeal, as well as the warm hospitality of everyone he met.

“I really enjoy being in a place where everyone knows each other, I love the square! It has so much charm, which seems to be very representative of the community," he said. "I believe this is where God brought me to be—I know it’s God’s will and plan, and I truly believe I’m here for a pur-

and the Medical College of Georgia, in Augusta. His pediatric residency was completed at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston.

From the time he was 4 years old, he knew he wanted to be a doctor, he said, and his love and affinity for kids led him into pediatrics.

As a single father, Dr. Will is also excited to be sharing this new chapter in his life with his 7-yearold son, Sam. “We are thrilled to be here in Covington, and I feel so blessed to have this opportunity. I have a great new staff, and we all love the renovations that have been made to get the clinic ready!”

Once the renovations are complete, the remaining equipment serviced, and the final supplies received, the office will be set to open. Seeing patients from birth to college aged, Dr. Will’s clinic will now be the only pediatric clinic serving the Covington community.

Saturday’s prediction of a 30 percent chance of rain gave us .85 inches early Sunday morning and another half inch that evening! We never turn down a rain during crop season, but we do have to get this wheat out soon!

We had a very good VBS based on the miracles of Jesus last week. I loved seeing the puppets and the children singing! Lyla had a big time! John Evans did a great job teaching the adult class. It was a great event!

Justin was invited to play golf on a PGA course in Mississippi last Wednesday, so Elizabeth and Lyla spent the night with us, in Elizabeth’s canopy bed! It was so much fun - we baked cookies and watched a movie. The girls slept late the next morning and stayed till 4 p.m. You just never know what will happen!

Saturday I drove to Almyra to the home of Libby Click for the wedding of her granddaughter, Whitney Barber, to Nathan Carroll. The bridesmaids all wore different color dresses which coordinated with the groom and groomsmen's vests and ties, and the flower girls' sashes. It was so pretty and a very sweet wedding! We enjoyed fruit, veggies, chocolate dipped marshmallows and pretzels, cucumber sandwiches and of course, a beautiful cake, with carnations in the colors of the wedding cascading down the layers. I am so glad I got to go and I wish the newlyweds many happy years together!

Locals - do you know there is a great Italian restaurant in Munford? We went to Casa Piatto Caffe Sunday with Clint, Courtney and Blake Gassoway. It is wonderful!

Dale Laxton was supposed to be at church on Sunday but he got another blood

clot, in his leg, and is back in the hospital for a few days. He's in our prayers, along with Tonya Hill, who had surgery; Shirley Cook, taking treatments; and Bonnie Holbrook, John Henderson, Bertha Scrip, Loreda Brown, Debbie Otts' mother, and Betty Baskin, Hope Collins' mother. We are also praying for: Mary Culver, Sam Stitt, Phil Huffman, and so many others, along with all our servicemen and women.

My sincere sympathy goes to Lorie Liles in the death of her mother, Nita McLemore, in Alabama, and to Miranda Shroader in the death of her grandmother this past week. These families are in my prayers.

The birthday party at Covington Manor will be on the 15th at 2 p.m. The devotional at Covington Care will be on the 16th at 4 p.m.

So far, I have enjoyed the college baseball tournament and, as of writing, two have punched tickets (LSU and UCLA) to the college world series in Omaha, Neb. I hope everyone has a good week and God bless you.

Friday since our Springfest so I haven’t been able to have it, and just between you and me, I was ready for a break! The stress of getting pumped for it and then having to put it off kinda knocked the wind outta my sail! I was ready to “get’er done,” you know what I mean? But I’ll have it here pretty soon and I’ll keep everyone posted as to when it will be so you can plan your days around it. I do have a lot of stuff to look through.

I’m so excited to say we have a full house again here at Dunlap. We’d like to welcome Mr. Nathan Adkins to our Dunlap family and Ms. Alberta James. Mr. Nathan is from Tipton County and has family here, so wel-

come Mr. Nathan, we’re so glad to have you! Also, Ms. Alberta is from Louisiana, but has been residing in Millington with her sweet daughter and husband recently. We are so very glad to have you Ms. Alberta!

We here at Dunlap hope you both enjoy your stay!

Ms. Linnie has already made a friend, she and Ms. Alberta sure do enjoy talking, as Ms. Alberta is a former school teacher! I sure do miss Ms. Flo and all her school teacher’s funny stories! We still love and miss you, Ms. Flo! But now don’t fear because we are still trying to get a waiting list together to reopen Hunter Hall. We are always taking names and phone numbers, so

if you know anyone who would like to live out here in the country with us, please let me know!

I guess the most exciting news I have this week is that we are having the Dunlap Kids Reunion this weekend and I am soooo excited for this event! The planning committee has been planning this reunion since either January or February, I forgot for sure. But anyone that ever lived at Dunlap is invited to come and join them. If you have not heard about it, please call me and I will hook you up with the fine folks in charge! My number is 476-7014, please call and let me know if you would like to come!

Well dear ones, I love

you all so much and I pray God’s blessings on you!

Until next week, tune in and I’ll probably have some funny stories about the reunion I’m sure!

The Civil War In Tipton County, June 1863

BY RUSSELL BAILEY County Historian John Uriah Green of Covington, Lt. Colonel of the Tennessee Confederate Partisan Rangers when captured by the Federals, was part of a daring escape on June 10, 1863: “(Colonel Green) was carried from Memphis to St. Louis, where he remained in prison two months. From there he was sent to (Fortress Monroe), Norfolk, Va., enduring hardships of prison life, even to the extent of having the death warrant read to him. Before this sentence was carried into execution he was ordered to be sent to Fort Delaware on board the steamer Maple Leaf.

Being unwilling to endure the tortures of life in a Northern prison, the guard in charge of the ship was overpowered and captured by the prisoners, the steamer was run ashore near Cape Henry Lighthouse and all on board who were able to travel (93 of us, all officers, per Col. Green) made their escape into the Dismal Swamp, where they remained for 10 days, being pursued by four regiments of cavalry. '‘By God’s help we got safely through to Richmond,’ were Col. Green’s words in relating the incident. From Richmond,

Greetings-

On Saturday morning at 10 a.m., at Carey Chapel AME Church, Jamestown, there was a health fair sponsored by Jamestown Community Health Organization. President Rev. Pearl Andrews would have loved a larger crowd, however, even though it was mainly the local citizens in attendance, everyone enjoyed himself. There were several medical tests performed such as blood pressure screenings, and lots of free health and food planning literature to go around. Refreshments such as hot dogs, sodas and ice cream were sold. Rev. Kevin King, Jr. was the lucky

Hi Friends, The other day we were in Millington looking to find some red spray paint.

Well, we happened to stop at Building Materials, and they had red spray paint, just two cans. We are repainting our deck furniture bright red; old wood really soaks up the paint.

Mr. got out of the car and went in the store, while I sat out in the car.

In a few minutes, he came back out with two cans of red spray paint, but best of all, this young person came out with him. He had helped the old man find the red paint.

Mr. said to me, “Do you know this young man?”

And I said, “I do not

Col. Green returned to his regiment in the fall of 1863.

John U. Green was appointed colonel of the noted 12th Tennessee Cavalry of Forrest’s command and he led it bravely in very many of its combats. He was much beloved by his men, as he was always kind and thoughtful of their welfare and shared cheerfully their deprivations and hardships.

He was an elder of the Presbyterian Church, and a devout Christian. The lieutenant colonel of the same regiment was a Cumberland Presbyterian preacher; the major a Baptist deacon; the adjutant a Presbyterian elder, and the Chaplain a Cumberland Presbyterian. Dr. E. H. Scholl, of Birmingham, was Surgeon of the Regiment.”

On June 16, 1863, Captain William Bell’s Company F, 12th Tennessee Cavalry was at Mason’s Depot, Tipton County, where he enlisted 16-year old Thomas J. Taylor as a private.

Thomas’ father had been arrested and jailed for 3 weeks for refusing to tell where ammunition was and for refusing to take the Federal oath of allegiance.

Young Thomas J. Taylor was slightly wounded in the engagement at Pulaski, Tenn. and Sulphur Trestle, Ala. He was captured at Athens, Ala., but a charge by his com-

winner of the grocery giveaway raffle; he’s the oldest son of LaRue Albritton and is the pastor of New Hope MB Church in Burlison, in the Hawkins Community. Congratulations to Pastor King.

You’ve still got plenty of time to pay your yearly $25 dues to Jamestown Community Health Organization (JCHO). For all of you out-of-towners who once lived right here in Jamestown, contacts are: treasurer Mary Burton, Jessie Cooke, assistant treasurer or president Rev. Pearl Andrews, Pam Springfield, Gwen Cooke, Katarene Harber or Glenn Baker. Dues are sorely needed for the college scholarship, cemetery (Dickens) upkeep and especially JCHO’s building fund.

“Well,” he said, “this is one of your Sunday School students when we lived in Frayser, and went to Frayser Height United Methodist Church.”

I did know him! His name is Stew Ervin. I said hello, and he said he reads my writing in The Leader every week. I thanked him so much for remembering us. It was so nice of him to come out to the car to see me.

Thanks, Stew Ervin.

We had a special treat this last Saturday night. Marshall and I will have our 61st wedding anniversary on June 14, our daughter will celebrate her anniversary of 33 years on June 15, and my granddaughter will celebrate her anniversary on the 12th of June. We took all of them, including

our youngest granddaughter (who, at 15, is the tallest person in our family), to supper at our favorite restaurant. All seven of us were treated to a free meal. That was really special for us all.

Thank you restaurant for a wonderful meal.

We had a great meal last Sunday at Elm Grove United Methodist Church.

rades drove the Federals back, rescuing him from captivity.

He was frequently detailed a courier and was paroled with Forrest cavalry at Gainesville, Ala. in May 1865. A biographical sketch notes that this company, Company F, served as the escort company for General Alexander W. Campbell from February through May 1865. Thomas was paroled as a member of Company K, 3d Tennessee Cavalry Regiment May 11, 1865 at Gainesville, Ala. “He missed but one day of duty, for sickness.”

After the war, Thomas J. Taylor returned to Mason. In 1870, he was farming and had an estate of $3,700. He later engaged in business, served as magistrate, mayor and two terms as Sheriff of Tipton County.

Thomas moved to Memphis in 1887 and became a successful life insurance agent. He joined the Confederate Historical Association. He married Hannah M. Walker in 1868. She died in 1880 and in 1883, he married Helen Claiborne; he was father of five children. He was a brother of Tennessee Congressman Zachary Taylor of Tipton County and later Shelby. Rep. Taylor represented Tipton in the 10th Congressional District.

Glass hired to lead Covington girls

By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com The Lady Chargers basketball team has a new head coach.

Graduating from Covington High School in 2003 following a career as a star on the softball field and basketball court, Katrisha Glass went on to Southwest Community College and played basketball for a season before continuing to UT-Knoxville and earning a degree in education.

Ten years later, with two years on the bench as an assistant coach under head coach Dion Real, Katrisha Glass assumes a new role as the head coach of the Lady Chargers.

“She is excited and she is ready for this challenge," said Real, who will remain as the head boys coach.

"It is tough to step away from the girls, but I feel that it is time. The girls will be really good this year. The change is best for the program."

“Coach Real has been working to get the girl’s program to a level that would allow him to turn it over to a coach who can handle the team and all that goes with being a head coach," Covington athletic director Mark McClain said. "Coach Glass has shown herself to be a quick study and to have the skills to do the job.

We look forward to her taking the program to new heights."

Glass, who teaches English II at CHS, is excited for the opportunity. She was effusive in her praise for her mentor, Real.

“He has taught a defensive concept that works," Glass said. "We will continue that. Moreover, he has taught us that each of us is accountable for our actions on and off the court and in practice. The system he has taught and the mark that he has made on the girls and on me will remain with us forever and will be the foundation for continuing the success of the girls' program. “ Glass plans to utilize the man-to-man, pressing defensive style instituted by Real with “some tweaks where we need to tweak.”

Her expectation is that her team will work hard in practice and even harder on the floor. Joining her on the bench is her big sister, Katasha Poindexter, also a veteran of the Real system. A second assistant is expected to be named during the summer break.

“Katrisha and Katasha together are the perfect combination,” said Real. “Katrisha will do the teaching and Katasha will be the disciplinarian. It will work out really well.”

“This is a really exciting time," Katrisha said. “ We feel that the prospects for the upcoming season are really good. It doesn’t appear on the surface that the new district we are entering will be as tough as the one we are leaving, but that should work in our favor and help us to move on in the post-season.”

CHS will join Haywood, Ripley, Jackson CentralMerry, Jackson Northside and Liberty Magnet in District 15 in the fall.

The cupboard won’t be bare. A lot of experience returns at every position. The departure of UTM signee

Ashia Jones means that “former role players will have to become more," Glass said.

Precious Harvey returns for her senior season at the point to be aided by a steadily improving Treasury Poindexter. Janika Mason, J’La Brandon, Iesha Tipton and Janika Mason headline returnees .

"Want to know how we will be this season?" asked Glass. “Just come out and watch. I believe you’ll like what you see.”

BMS track season proved to be a successful one After overcoming a multitude of unique obstacles, the 2013 Brighton Middle School track season proved to be successful.

At the TMSAA Conference held at Dyersburg, the young ladies placed third, taking several athletes to Memphis, where the TMSAA regional was

held, which also resulted in a third place finish.

Jashell Fears, Addie Mallard and Alyssa Hunt, all eigth-graders, were named all conference.

Hunt was the only eighth grader to advance to regionals and placed fifth.

“These eighth graders

track talents are going to be sorely missed next year,” said BMS coach Debbie Vick.

Mallard threw shot put and discus, and ran the 4x400 relay.

Fears competed in the long jump, the 800-meter relay and 100-meter dash.

Hunt also threw shot put and discus.

Department or at the city halls in Atoka, Brighton and Munford.

The Covington City Pool is open for the 2013 season. Proper swimwear will be required.

“The Brighton High School track program will be getting some good female athletes,” Vick said.

“While this year was low on seasoned eigth grad-

ers, the sixth an seventh graders showed they are up to the challenge next year. Their gained experience on the track, and the willingness to over-

come exceptional barriers, show that the future of the girls Brighton Middle School track program strongly indicates a very good year for 2014.”

A ribbon cutting was held on Wednesday, May 1, for Personal Care Services at the new location at 1723 Hwy. 51 S., at The Gables. Walter Black is the Executive Director and employs 75 people that assist with in-home care.

THE COURT OF THE WOMEN Sometimes called the Treasury, three feet higher than the sacred enclosure. Jewish women were permitted to enter, but they could not advance beyond it.

THE COURT OF ISRAEL This was ten feet higher than the Court of the Women. Male Jews could enter.

COURT OF THE PRIESTS This was three feet higher than the Court of Israel and was reserved for priests only.

THE HOUSE OF GOD This was eight feet above the Court of the Priests. It was divided into two compartments. The Holy Place and the Holy of Holies or Most Holy Place. Into the Holy Place, the priests entered to perform certain duties at the stated times.

But into the Most Holy Place, only the high priest might enter, and he only once a year on the Day of Atonement, to make atonement for the sins of the people.

The exclusion of the Gentiles from the temple proper pointed to the fact that the Jews regarded themselves as the chosen people and wholly separated from other nations.

The graduations of the courts and the prohibitions concerning access to them, emphasized the strict class distinctions in the Jewish system of religion.

The inaccessibility of the Holy of Holies to all except the high priest on one day a year, and all of the various obstacles that prevented the common people from ever approaching the dwelling place of the presence of God, was a continuing object lesson of the righteousness of God and His separation from sinners.

But, during the time of Jesus, this system had been so corrupted as to even allow buying and selling within the temple, probably in the Court of the Priests.

Covington High FFA wraps up school year

By Jerry Johnson Covington FFA The Covington FFA had a great end of the school year.

On Sunday, Britney Kellum, Molly Flanagan and Mr. Johnson left for Fall Creek Falls to attend the 64th Annual Tennessee FFA Forestry Camp.

During the week, the students learned about tree identification, tree measuring, azimuth readings, hardwood management, pine management, fire fighting, topographical mapping, and wildlife concepts. The students got to work with foresters and students

from all across the state.

On Friday, each student participated in a competition on tree measuring, tree identification, and compass reading.

Kellum was first in the entire camp in tree measuring and Molly Flanagan was second in compass reading. Kellum was also recognized as being the outstanding camper of the week, which is the highest honor one can achieved at the camp.

On Friday, the chapter moved on to Camp Clements to participate in the Tennessee State Forestry Competition and the Tennessee State Environmental and Natural

Resources Management Competition. The chapter did extremely well in both competitions, as they were first in the district, second in West Tennessee and fourth in the state at Forestry.

The chapter was also first in the district and West Tennessee and fifth in the state in the Environmental and Natural Resources Management competition. The chapter was also ranked fifth overall in the state for the National Chapter Award, and will move on to compete this fall in that award program.
