Abuse, drugs lead latest indictments DA: Large number due to aggressive prosecution By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com
More than 100 people were indicted by the Tipton County Grand Jury earlier this month, sex crimes against minors and drug charges among the majority of charges. The cumulative counts of sex crimes this term totaled more than 100 and District Attorney General Mike Dunavant said the increase isn’t necessarily attributed to an increase in alleged criminal activity. “Unfortunately, there are

victimized children; new law enforcement techniques in the investigation of these difficult and sensitive cases; and aggressive and dedicated prosecution to hold the offenders accountable.� In a 44-count indictment, Timothy Alan White, of Murphy Lane in Burlison, was charged with 11 counts each of rape, statutory rape by an authority figure, aggravated statutory rape and furnishing

Further, the affidavit stated the 14-year-old was possibly pregnant with White being named a possible father. Divorced, White is already the father of two.

n Friday, the Tipton County Veterans Services Office will be hosting a job fair geared toward veterans in need of employment. Now in its fourth year, the event will feature more than six dozen vendors and organizations currently hiring former military personnel. Though the unemployment rate for veterans is statistically lower than that of their non-veteran counterparts – 8.7 percent compared to 9.4 percent, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics – the military-to-civilian transition can still leave a large number of veterans jobless.

Principal says time, not issues, cancelled play By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com

righton High School Principal Christi Huffman said it was lack of time, not stereotypes, that caused her to cancel a student performance of the musical "Hairspray" last week. On March 12, controversy erupted at the high school after the play was called off. Student actors took to the news media to express their disappointment. "I started crying," cast

"They said it was damaging to us, but we were never asked if we felt discriminated against when we were cast," he said. Set in the early 1960s, at the onset of the Civil Rights Movement, the musical features an overweight white teenaged girl as its lead and

focuses on body image as well as racial issues as two of its primary themes. It was reported that Huffman and the school board's discomfort with these topics led to its cancellation. Huffman, however, said the play's cancellation had nothing to do with its subject matter. "We've never had a musical before, so this is new to us and I'm not up on a lot of musicals or plays, so we discussed it. The choir teacher actually told me that parts of the play had to be modi-
fied to be school-age appropriate," she said. "He was supposed to get me a corrected script a week later for approval." That was late February, she said, and after missing school for a week due to the ice storm and having another week off for spring break, she didn't believe there was enough time to make the play "a success," so she cancelled it. The cancellation also came as a result of the firstyear teacher not following SEE PLAY, PAGE A3

Free debris dumping to continue By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Though much of Tipton County has recovered from the winter storms that hit the area the last few weeks, there is still a significant amount of debris to be removed. Because of that, the Tipton County Commission voted last week to allow the landfill to continue to accept storm-related wooded debris from all county residents. “This is a good benefit for the citizens to help them clean up,” said Shannon Reed, Tipton County's public works director. He did, however, want to make on thing clear: The county is not picking up debris from residences or
businesses. Munford and Atoka have been offering this service and that, according to Reed, has caused some confusion. “We are not offering curbside service,” Reed said. “We've been cleaning up right-of-ways, and sometimes we'll come back to a road that we've cleared and people have piled up debris on the side of the road where we just cleaned it up. People have got to stop doing that.” Reed said the county's landfill has accepted approximately 1,700 loads over the last month or so, which is twice as much as normal. The commission voted to allow free storm-related debris dumping at the landfill until April 14.

School board opposes house, senate budget control bills By FRANCE GASQUET fgasquet@covingtonleader.com The Tipton County Board of Education and Director of Schools, Buddy Bibb, signed a resolution at its school board meeting Thursday, March 13, stating that it opposed House bills 2250 and 2293, as well as Senate Bill 0677. The resolution, submitted by school board member Farrel Vincent, was unanimously signed by the board. “The Tipton County Board of Education opposes HB 2293 seeking to limit Boards of Education ability to participate in legislation affecting the public education system.” “HB 2293 was passed with an amendment on Tuesday and no longer effects the Tipton County Schools system,” said Vincent, as control remains with the Board of Education. HB 2293 is regarding out-of-state agencies lobbying legislatures in an effort to make money off of Tennessee school systems. “Many of these companies and organizations are out of state companies and organizations who are spending significant sums of money to advance their agenda through television advertising and lobbying,” stated the resolution. “A lot of these changes are about the money and these companies are looking to make a profit,” said Vincent, referring to new testing materials and textbooks. HB 2293 has moved on to the Senate, with an amendment and would become effective for the 2015 fiscal year. “The Tipton County Board of Education opposes HB 2250 seeking to restrict local Boards of Education ability to control its own budget.” The bill, sponsored by Tate Rep. Glen Casada of Williamson County, allows the county commission, an

elected entity, to cut down the budget if more than 10 percent is allocated to administrative costs. “These bills are unprecedented, giving another elected entity authority to veto every line item of the school board’s budget,” said Vincent. “We wouldn’t have had a problem with it, because we get along well with the county commission, but there are other school districts in Tennessee that had this bill passed in its prior format, things could have been very difficult for them.” If passed in both the House and Senate, the bill would become effective for the 2015 fiscal year. It passed the House's Local Government Committee on Wednesday. “The Tipton County Board of Education opposes SB 0677 seeking to vest certain control over local Board of Education matters to the State of Tennessee's appointed Commissioner of Education.” A fiscal rating system is assigned to schools via the Senate Bill 0677, or the Fiscal State Tracking and Accountability Report (STAR) System Act, sponsored by state Sen. Dolores R. Gresham of District 26. The rating system would award stars to public schools based on their fiscal responsibilities, i.e. financial operations and outcomes. The star rating, from one to five, with five as excellent, would be on the commissioner’s website, with a three year tracking period. If a school receives two or less stars, then they are placed on an intervention track, including transferring the responsibility of allocating the school’s funds to an appointed direct report of the commissioner of education, thus bypassing the board of education.

events we have, we have to make sure everyone follows the procedures or this is the result," she said. "Not a lot of good comes out of surprises." Because the school does not have a stage with wings – which is important for set changes and stage management – the play was already scheduled to be performed at the Ruffin Theater. Following its cancellation by Huffman, the Tipton Arts League picked
up its sponsorship – so it is no longer a schoolsanctioned play – and added another weekend to its run. The play will open on April 11 and Huffman said she will catch the show. "I do recognize the talents of our young people and want to be there to respect their hard work and efforts," she said. "I'm absolutely looking forward to it."

due back in court on Aug. 21. Others arrested include: ■ David Bruce Dickey, 32, of Juana Drive in Millington, was charged with nine counts of aggravated statutory rape, nine counts of statutory rape by an authority figure and one count of sexual contact with a minor by an authority figure. An Air Force veteran and divorced father of two, he was arrested by the Brighton Police Department on March 6 and released on the following day on a $35,000 bond. He is due back in court on July 30. ■ In two different cases, Timothy William Grove, 21, of Ray Lane in Covington, was indicted on 27 total charges, including statutory rape, sexual exploitation of a minor and soliciting the sexual exploitation of a minor. The charges are related to the March 2013 discovery of a missing 15-year-old, reportedly his former girlfriend, at his home. The affidavit states the minor told deputies she and Grove had been sexually active in the past and she had also sent Grove nude photos. Grove is currently out on a $40,000 bond and is due in court on July 29. ■ Trevor Andreas Jones, 19, of Towering Heights Road in Drummonds, was indicted on charges he molested a five-year-old on a school bus from Drummonds Elementary in November 2013. According to the affidavit, the five-year-old victim informed a parent of the incident after arriving home and Jones confessed to investigators before being arrested. He was indicted for aggravated sexual battery and is due back in court on Aug. 6. ■ James Anthony Tipton Jr., of Howard Street in Covington, was indicted on charges of aggravated burglary and sexual battery. The affidavit filed alleges Tipton entered through the window of a home where a 17-year-old was sleeping and touched her inappropriately. He is due back in court on Aug. 20. ■ John David Walls, 34, was charged with five counts of rape of a child, accused of having sexual contact with a minor who, at the time of the alleged incidents, was 11 years old. Bond in this case was set at $50,000. He is due back in court on Aug. 27. ■ Clyde Cody Waxler, of Akins Store Road in Munford, was indicted for statutory rape. The affidavit of complaint alleges in August 2012, Waxler, who was 29 at the time, fathered a child with a then-17-year-old. He is due back in court on Aug. 21. ■ Michael Joseph Dean of Bartlett was indicted for especially aggravated burglary, attempted first-degree murder and aggravated assault by strangu-
lation. In October, Dean allegedly broke into the home of his estranged wife and attempted to strangle her with a brown leather belt. She was found by police unconscious on the floor of her home with the belt tied around her neck and her arm twisted behind her back. Dean also allegedly punched his estranged wife in the face, forced pills down her throat and cut her hair while threatening to kill her. He is currently in the Tipton County Correctional Facility and is due back in court on July 22. ■ Kevin McQuiese Somerville of Ripley is accused of two counts of attempted second-degree murder, vandalism and employing a firearm during an attempted to commit a dangerous felony. In July 2013, Somerville allegedly shot at a vehicle driving by him on Peeler Avenue. Bond in this case was set at $35,000. He is due back in court on Aug. 20. ■ Elizabeth Ann Boyd, 44, of Loon Lane in Covington has been indicted for hindering secured creditors and setting fire to personal property, stemming from a June 22, 2013 vehicle fire at her home. Boyd is accused of setting a 2012 Black Ford F150, which had been used as collateral for a $2,500 loan from Cash and Dash, on fire in her driveway to avoid it being repossessed. She is due back in court on July 16. ■ In five separate cases, Patricia Barnett was charged with a collective six counts of delivery of schedule II drugs, two counts of delivery of schedule II drugs in a school zone and one count of delivery of schedule III drugs to narcotics investigators. In regards to the dozens of drug charges this term, Dunavant said, “We are noticing a shift in the nature of illegal sales and possession of narcotics in Tipton County. While meth, cocaine, and marijuana are still present, there has been a recent dramatic increase and proliferation in the illegal obtaining and sale of prescription narcotics, such as oxycodone, OxyContin, hydrocodone, morphine, and alprazolam (Xanax). “As a result, there has been an increase in other related crimes, such as obtaining controlled substances by fraud or forged prescription, doctor shopping, TennCare fraud, and pharmacy burglaries. Therefore, the increased indictments this term for those types of offenses is a result of aggressive and innovative investigation and interdiction by law enforcement, as well as effective prosecution by the State. This is reflected by the number of counts and indictments, as well as the pursuit of enhanced sentencing for possession and sale of narcotics within a drug free school zone.” The next term of the Tipton County Grand Jury meets on July 7.

GUEST OPINION
FLASHBACK
Educational leaders speak out on goals of Common Core Editor’s note: The following editorial was submitted by John Morgan, Tennessee Board of Regents chancellor; Joe DiPietro, University of Tennessee president; Richard G. Rhoda, Tennessee Higher Education Commission executive director; and Dr. Karen Bowyer, Dyersburg State Community College president. A widening gap has grown between what students are learning in K-12 schools and what they’re expected to know by the employers who hire them and the colleges and universities where they choose to enroll. For too long Tennessee’s education systems have operated independently, lacking coordination to ensure the needs of our students, our employers and our communities are aligned. Unfortunately, it’s not just in Tennessee. The numbers bear the results. U.S. students’ math skills rank 25th in the world, and their reading skills fell to 14th. While we cheer for medals awarded in Olympic competitions, the U.S. is falling behind in education compared to the rest of the world. That’s not a standard we should accept. In Tennessee this year, more than 60 percent of high school graduates who enrolled in a Tennessee public college or university required some type of remedial or academic support. Preparing high schools graduates for college-level work requires additional funding and resources, money students shouldn’t have to pay and an investment taxpayers shouldn’t have to make. And time spent in remedial classes increases the likelihood that students will not complete their degree. Some $3 billion is spent annually across the U.S. to reteach high school lessons to college students. But Tennessee is on the right path. Just last November, our state was recognized as the nation’s fastest-improving, with the largest academic growth on the 2013 National Assessment of Educational Progress. Tennessee’s “Drive to 55” – toward 55 percent of Tennesseans having a post-secondary education credential by 2025 – launched in September. Teachers and school systems across the state and around the country have committed to defining a set of standards that are shared across the states – the Common Core State Standards. All Tennessee students deserve a quality education. We have long believed the Common Core standards will help students be better prepared for college-level work or to enter the workforce with basic skills when they graduate. Our state’s business leaders agree the common standards will help Tennessee compete on a world scale for economic development with a workforce able to be successful in a global economy. The Common Core State Standards grew from an initiative started by states’ leaders and education officials to create new standards to prepare students with the education and skill sets to ready them for successful post-secondary studies and good jobs. We agree the standards, developed at the state level with direct input from Tennessee educators, are necessary to meet college-ready and workforce-ready requirements. How will we know? For the first time, students’ college and career readiness will be measured against how well they align with the knowledge they need for real life, for college and for the workforce. The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) test was developed by educators across 17 states and the District of Columbia – including our own faculty – to evaluate student progress on Common Core State Standards and keep parents, students and teachers informed about their preparation along the way toward high school graduation. Tennessee educators from both K-12 and higher education have directly contributed to the creation and review of these test items. Please join us in supporting the Common Core State Standards and ask your schools, teachers and government leaders to stay the course. Our future depends on it.

News from Nashville: Lawmakers address Tennessee’s meth labs The legislative pace quickened on Capitol Hill this week as several important bills to combat the manufacture of methamphetamine in Tennessee advanced out of the Senate Judiciary Committee. The action came after compelling testimony was heard from the state’s top law enforcement authorities about the scope of the problem and its impact on users, their families, crime, and the environment, as well as healthcare costs and the loss of productivity. Tennessee ranks second in the nation, behind Indiana, in meth lab seizures last year. Two hundred sixty-six children were removed by the Department of Children’s Services (DCS) from homes due to meth-related incidents in 2013 at an estimated cost of more than $7 million. The state spends approximately $2 million annually on meth lab clean-up, and in 2013, 1,691 labs were seized in Tennessee. This is in addition to tens of millions of dollars in TennCare costs associated with meth lab burns. “Lab seizures and meth use have affected many aspects of Tennesseans’ lives,” said Senate Majority Leader Mark Norris, who is Brian Blackley – Publisher/ General Manager bblackley@covingtonleader.com Kathy Griffin - Office Manager Accounting/Public Notices notices@covingtonleader.com

Another suggestion was to wash the bed sheets, blankets and quilts at least every two weeks, whether needed or not. A hot bath using freshly drawn well water was said to expedite the cure.

sponsoring legislation proposed by Governor Haslam to attack Tennessee’s meth problem. “This bill is aimed at fighting the production of meth, while not overburdening law-abiding Tennesseans who need temporary cold and sinus relief.” Senate Bill 1751 the Tennessee Anti-Meth Production (TAMP) Act, cuts the amount of pseudoephedrine that can be bought in Tennessee from the current limit of 9 grams a month to 4.8 grams, which is equivalent to 40 12-hour tablets. Norris said this targets the so-called ‘smurfers’ who buy from a variety of stores in small quantities until they have enough to manufacture meth. The legislation sets an annual limit on pseudoephedrine purchases of 14.4 grams. Currently, the most frequently purchased box size contains 2.4g of pseudoephedrine or ephedrine, and in 2012, the average Tennessee consumer bought 4.8g for the entire year. As amended, the proposal allows an allergy sufferer to purchase an unlimited amount of liquid or gel caps, but the consumer would have to get a prescription to exceed the limit in pill form. Liquid

and gel caps cannot be utilized in the manufacture of methamphetamines. Under the bill, consumers under the age of 18 may not purchase pseudoephedrine products, without a prescription unless they buy liquid or gel caps. Other bills which were approved by the Judiciary Committee include: • Senate Bill 1791, sponsored by Senator Ferrell Haile (R-Gallatin), which calls for pharmacist authorization reduced to writing for consumers purchasing pseudoephedrine products without a prescription. The bill is designed to utilize a pharmacist’s professional skills in order to weed out those who want to purchase this drug for use in the manufacture of meth. Senate Bill 1647, sponsored by Senator Doug Overbey (RMaryville), which requires either a prescription by a physician or an oral prescription by a pharmacist reduced to writing not to exceed six months in length. The legislation does not cap the amount but makes it a controlled Schedule VII substance, meaning purchases will be reported to the Controlled

To cite one possibility, as you get close to retirement, you may need to shift some — but certainly not all — of your growth-oriented investments into income-producing ones. But you may also need to review and revise your financial strategy at other points in your life, such as when you begin saving for your children’s college education. Just as spring cleaning can bring more light into your home, sprucing up your investment picture can help you brighten your financial outlook. And these improvements can help you in all the seasons of your life.

Continued from A4 Substance Database for tracking by law enforcement authorities. Meth resistant pseudoephedrine products would not be affected by the bill. Senate Bill 2540, sponsored by Senator Randy McNally (R-Oak Ridge), which allows local governing bodies by a twothirds vote to ban the sale of methamphetamine precursors in their jurisdiction without a prescription. Several Tennessee counties have voted to ban the sale of the products without a prescription; however, the state Attorney General ruled last year that the legislature must act to give them this authority. Senate Bill 2021, sponsored by Senator Mae Beavers (R-Mt. Juliet), which provides for a mandatory minimum
sentence for possession of meth of 30 days in jail and 180 days in jail for manufacturing of meth. Senate Bill 1312 sponsored by Senator Joey Hensley (R-Hohenwald), which requires that anyone with a drug felony, not just a methamphetamine felony, be placed on the methamphetamine registry, preventing them from purchasing pseudoephedrine products for 10 years. The bills now go to the Senate Health and Welfare Committee where they will be further examined with the goal to come up with a comprehensive plan to attack the state’s meth problem that can meet House and Senate approval. The Senate passed legislation on Monday night allowing the state to sell gift certificates that can

Specialty license plates represent a wide variety of colleges and universities, branches of the military, special interest organizations, professional organizations and other topics. Part of the $36 fee charged for the plates goes to support a wide variety of art activities in Tennessee, including ticket subsidies for students.

Many people don’t realize how much good this program does to promote the arts and preserve our heritage.” Two million of the six million vehicles in the state participate in the specialty plate program. Norris hopes that the gift certificate program will boost sales. “This should be a tremendous help in boosting sales of the plates,” added Norris.”

How long do I have to sue in Tennessee? Most Tennessee injury cases settle and do not have to be filed in court. But, if you are seriously hurt, such as fractures, ruptured discs or nerve damage, there is little time to waste. Statute of limitations are time limits that make your case worth nothing if you do not file suit in court by that date. Remember, it’s not just filing a claim with the liability insurance company, it David Peel is actually suing the defenPeel Law Firm dant in a lawsuit. The Tennessee statute of limitation for “Injuries to the person” is only a 1-year statute of limitation. (See T.C.A. § 28-3-104(a)(1)) This maybe tolled by being under 18 and in certain on other very limited circumstances. Tennessee tort law has the most restrictive time limit, compared with neighboring states: Mississippi’s statute of limitations is 3 years for negligent injuries; the Arkansas statute of limitations is 3 years and 2 for medical malpractice. In Tennessee, Medical Malpractice also restricts
us to only a 1-year statute of limitation from injury, but can defined as discovery of that injury under certain circumstances. (See T.C.A. § 29-26-116 and T.C.A. § 28-3-104) Similarly, Products Liability also has a 1-year Tennessee statute of limitations from the date of the injury, not the sale of the product. (See T.C.A. § 283-104(b)(2)) Wrongful Death in Tennessee is again, a stifling 1-year statute of limitation. (T.C.A. § 28-3-104) Here’s the odd part: Injury to personal property or real estate is a whopping 3-year statute of limitation! (See T.C.A. § 28-3-105(1)). This means that you could have a car accident and be years late on the injury case, but still collect on the car damage. No one wants to run off to a lawyer when injured. Many of my clients hate the idea of even having to have a lawyer. However, you can see that statutes of limitations in Tennessee are very short, and a legal expert is required early to determine the path your serious injury case must take. The earlier you seek counsel, the more likely you will help control the outcome without extensive litigation.

President Obama’s 2015 budget includes a number of proposed changes aimed at retirement accounts. Several provisions (or similar versions of them) detailed below and unveiled Monday, were included in last year’s budget. Many of the retirement related proposals from last year are repeated in this year’s budget-and that should tell you something. They certainly could happen and, at the very least, are an indication as to where the administration wants to head. Harmonize Roth IRA RMD rules with other retirement accounts This one is new, but nonetheless is in there. President Obama’s 2015

Oh, and the income tax on that $10,000.
Without that salary deferral, that income would be taxed at 39.6 percent (currently the highest federal income tax rate). However, if this proposal were to become effective, that $10,000 would effectively be taxed at 11.6percent (39.6 percent-28 percent = 11.6 percent), since the maximum tax benefit that a client could receive would be limited to 28 percent. That equates to an additional tax bill of more than $1,000. In summary, the administration needs money in order to get our economy back on track. With their way of thinking, let’s get it from the people by closing revenue shortfalls – in the form of taxes. Plain and simple. This is JUST the beginning.

All of our learning and training cannot be the end in itself. Education without the Lord is an empty thing. It makes men prideful and arrogant. Athletic skills without humility and giving God the glory is vain. It may be someone is reading today who thinks their job; their lot in life is small. If you are doing the will of God, you are doing a wondrous thing. No matter what our occupation, if we dedicate it and ourselves to the Lord, we have the greatest job on earth. We can be a great influence on others to point them to Christ by our attitude about our job. In fact, we are actually missionaries to our work place. It may not possible for us to openly witness on the job, but a godly life and speech will put grace on display. The questions will come. Co-workers will begin to ask and our opportunity to be a witness for Christ, the greatest job on earth, will be ours.
For such a time as this By RICK HUFFMAN Gilt Edge Church of Christ The Leader recently covered the story of a juror who became choked. Luckily one of our police officers was near, had the knowledge to recognize what was happening and was willing to do what was needed to save the juror’s life. The officer was there “for such a time as this”. When the right person comes along at the right time with the right opportunity under the right circumstances, we call that the providence of God. The above title is a quotation from the book of Esther. Es 4:14 For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this. King Ahasuerus made a drunken feast for the prices and noblemen of his kingdom. On the seventh day when his heart was merry with wine, he commanded Queen Vashti to show the people her beauty. She refused and was deposed as queen and thus set up the chain of events that led to Esther becoming queen. The king ruled from India to Ethiopia (Es. 1:1) and he commanded “all the fair young virgins” (Es. 2:3)
from his kingdom to be brought to the palace to be considered as a replacement for Vashti. Esther was a Jewish captive, a slave if you will. She was an orphan being raised in the house of Mordecai her uncle. He was instrumental in her being considered to be queen. Her becoming queen is a true rags to riches Cinderella story. From such humble beginnings to be selected from among all those in contention is no doubt evidence of the finger of God in the affairs of men. The challenge above (Es. 4:14) to Esther was given to her by her uncle, Mordecai. Wicked Haman, an advisor to the king, had tricked the king into signing a decree against the Jews because he hated Mordecai. Mordecai refused to bow to Haman and it infuriated Haman. The king did not know Esther was a Jew. (Es. 2: 10 Esther had not shewed her people nor her kindred: for Mordecai had charged her that she should not shew it.) Mordecai warned Esther that she would not save her own life by being silent and refusing to become involved but that her Jewish heritage would become known and she also would be destroyed. Esther put her life in jeopardy by interceding for her people. You came into the king’s presence by invitation only. If you came unbidden and the king did not hold out
his scepter in acceptance of your coming, you were killed. Even though not invited, Esther went to the king and thus began the chain of events whereby God delivered his people from the plot of wicked Haman. Haman ultimately was hung on the very gallows he had constructed to hang Mordecai. God put Esther at the right place at the right time with the right opportunity and the right circumstances to save His people. God did the same with police officer who saved the juror’s life. The providence of God is alive and well in the lives of God’s people today. Usually we only recognize God’s providence in hindsight. Unfortunately, we, like Esther, are sometimes hesitant to get involved, to be an instrument to accomplish God’s providence. What if the police officer would have failed to get involved? Would someone else have recognized what was happening? Would someone else have stepped forward? What would have been the outcome? The challenge for each of us is to be the right person and to be looking for any and every opportunity to make a difference because we never know God may have brought us to this place in our lives “for such a time as this.”

PETITIONER NO: 14-JV-42 IN THE MATTER OF: Infant Male Doe, DOB: 02/16/14 A CHILD UNDER EIGHTEEN (18) YEARS OF AGE
ORDER FOR PUBLICATION
WILLIAM
Being the same property conveyed to Grantor(s) herein at Book 1351 Page 877 of the Tipton County Register’s Office. Tax Parcel No: 128M-D-019.00
In this cause, it appears to the Court from the allegations of the Petition that the Department of Children’s Services is seeking to declare Infant Male Doe a voluntarily delivered child pursuant to T.C.A. § 36-1-142, a copy of said Petition may be obtained at the Office of the Juvenile Court Clerk of Tipton County, Covington, Tennessee. The child was born on February 16, 2014, in Covington, Tennessee, at approximately 40 weeks gestation, has black hair and appears to be of African-American descent. The mother voluntarily delivered the child to Baptist Memorial Hospital - Tipton for adoption on February 16, 2014. The mother is believed to be of African-American descent and is believed to be from Fayette County, Tennessee. The father is believed to be of African-American descent and is believed to be from Fayette County, Tennessee. Failure by the biological mother to seek contact with the child through the Department of Children’s Services or to revoke the voluntary delivery within thirty (30) days of the date of the last publication of notice shall constitute abandonment of the child and of the mother’s interests. The putative father of said child who fails to claim paternity by contacting the Department or by registering with the putative father registry within thirty (30) days of the date of the last publication of notice shall be barred from thereafter bringing any action to establish paternity of the infant. Such failure will constitute abandonment of any right to notice of, or to a hearing in, any judicial proceeding for the adoption of such infant and that consent of such putative father shall not be required for adoption of the infant. In the event that the biological mother or the putative father require additional information, they should contact LeAnn B. Rial, counsel for the Department of Children’s Services, 225 Martin Luther King Drive, Jackson, Tennessee 38301; telephone 731-421-2038. IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED, that said biological mother and putative father enter their appearance herein on April 30, 2014 at 9:00 a.m. a rule day of said Court, and that a copy of this order be published for four consecutive weeks in The Leader, a newspaper published in Tipton County, Tennessee; and the Fayette Falcon, a newspaper published in Fayette County, Tennessee. The Final Hearing to terminate the parental rights of the biological mother and of the putative father is scheduled for June 4, 2014 at 9:00 a.m.. Failure of said persons claiming an interest in the child to appear at the final hearing will result in the loss of their parental rights to the child. /s/HONORABLE PEELER

Covington ties for grand premio prize For the 29th consecutive year, DSCC hosted the Spanish Feria on the Dyersburg campus. The Feria, held on March 11, has become one of the capstone events for area high school students taking Spanish language and
culture courses. Students compete in areas as diverse as crafts, cooking, dictation and poetry. In recent years, the Spanish video production has become a highlight of the competition. This year approximately 229 stu-
dents from Bradford, Brighton, Cooter, Covington, Hickman County, Milan, South Fulton, and South Pemiscot High Schools took part in the Feria. The work of over 100 volunteers from the College and the community is
needed to host the event. Planning for the 2014 Feria began in September of 2013. Planning is already underway for the 2015 event.

Dr. Akm Hoque, Professor of Chemistry at Dyersburg State Community College, recently introduced the practice of microscale chemistry to his students. Micro-scale chemistry, an environmentally safe pollution prevention method of performing chemical processes, has allowed DSCC students to conduct experiments and reduce costs associated with them using decreased amounts of chemicals and miniature lab ware. “Using the micro-scale equipment, students learn valuable chemistry lessons as well as important lessons on conserving
limited resources,” stated Dr. Karen Bowyer, president of DSCC. For students, micro-scale chemistry is a huge benefit in that the experiments are quicker and cleaner, thus allowing them to spend less time waiting and more time performing additional experiments. “Response to the new class has been phenomenal,” stated Dr. Hoque. “With microscale chemicals and instruments, students are able to safely perform experiments with tiny samples that help reduce accidents, hazardous waste, and harmful fumes.”

Chargers take out Millington, Bartlett By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com
Following a grueling opening week on the road with six games in as many days, the Covington Charger baseball team (2-5) returned to the friendly confines of Don Chandler Field this week hoping to right the ship. Playing in the Best of the West tournament, Covington recorded its second win of the season Monday on the strength of a perfect game by senior transfer John Michael Spoon and an offensive explosion that
swamped the Millington Trojans in a 10-0, five inning rout. Spoon was almost unhittable. Of the 15 batters he faced, only three put the ball in play (two ground balls and an infield pop-up). The rest he struck out -12 in all. He also had two hits and two RBIs. At the plate, CHS pounded out 11 hits, all singles. Every starter contributed with either a run, hit or RBI. Junior catcher Steven Cook led the hit parade, going 3-3 with two runs scored an two RBIs. Dalton Carlton and Brad Walker added two RBIs each and
Bradyn McClain and Ethan Whitley had an RBI a piece. The Chargers continued their winning ways with a 3-2 win over previously unbeaten Bartlett on Tuesday. Jake Durham improved to 2-0. In six innings of work he allowed four hits and one run while walking six and striking out seven. John Hayden Bowers came on in relief in the seventh to pick up the save. CHS had only two hits, singles in the top of the fifth from McClain and Carlton. In Lewis Harris Memorial
play last Wednesday, CHS notched its first win of the year, 11-4 over Hernando. McClain, Carlton, Hunter Taylor, T.A. Watson, Brad Walker and Whitley all had an RBI. Durham got the win, going 4.1 innings. He struck out two and walked three. CHS beat 2013 state champion Collierville last season, but not so this year, falling 7-0 on Thursday. McClain had the lone hit for the Chargers. A journey to Mississippi put Covington in a doubleheader on Saturday with Mississippi 5A state champion New Hope.
McClain went six innings in the 3-2 loss. He and Watson had an RBI each. McClain, Watson, Carlton, Whitley and Bowers combined for six CHS hits. New Hope took the second game 8-6, with Watson taking the loss in 4.2 innings of work. Carlton had a big day with a single and a double and four RBIs. Steven Cook had one RBI and Walker, Spoon and John Cannon added base hits. The Chargers are on spring break next week and will play five games in the Panama City/Pensacola area.
MHS softball fares well in tournament By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com The Munford Lady Cougars found quite a bit of success in their first week of the 2014 season. After a loss to Dyersburg in the season opener last week, Munford won four of five games in tournament play. “I was pretty pleased with the way we played,” said head coach Glenn Goulder. “Dyersburg just out played us. It may not be that way later in the season, but that's just the way it is right now.” Munford defeated Marshall County 6-2 on Friday. Jodie Duncan doubled and drove in a run to pace the offense. Tori Ray, Taylor Hobson and Makenzie Pugh each added a double and Sam Scott struck out five to earn the win. Later in the day, the Lady Cougars got a homer from Ray in a 5-0 win over Columbia Academy. Duncan and Maddison Welch each singled for Munford's only other hits and Ray earned the win. On Saturday, Christina Cantrell drove in two runs in a 9-0 Munford win over Jackson Christian School. Welch was 2 for 4 and Pugh singled and doubled. SEE MHS, PAGE A21

Munford Cougar soccer off to a quick start Stout defense has allowed just one goal
By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com The Munford High School soccer team has come out of the box strong this season, particularly on defense. Millington paid a visit to Munford on Tuesday and left town with a 2-0 loss, finding offense hard to come by. Led by goalkeeper Erik Furseth, a University of Memphis signee, the Cougars notched their third shutout of the season to move to 4-0. “We are playing very strong in the back,” said Munford head
coach Kyle Selby, “only giving up one goal on the year, and it being a penalty kick.” Jesper Kempe put the Cougars up 1-0 on a goal in the first half that was assisted by Cedrick Williams. Later in the half, Kempe converted a penalty kick and Munford's defense took care of the rest. Last Friday, Munford defeated Covington (0-3) at home, 5-0. Kempe and Williams each had goals for Munford in the first half and Robby Roach, on an assist from Julian Morris, added the third tally of the half. Cameron
Capers, on an assist from Kempe, tallied Munford's fourth goal. Troy Moyer assisted Alex Cherry on Munford's final goal. The Cougars will be looking to keep their record perfect tomorrow at Melrose Stadium in Memphis against Central. “We are playing very physical teams and having to learn to play faster out of the back and at midfield,” Selby said. “With a few players nursing injuries, we having to play younger players to get them the experience they need. At times this causes us to give up some of our attacking. They are continuing to learn.”
The Brighton Lady Cardinals traveled to Booneville, Miss., over the weekend for a tournament and took on some tough competition from that state. Seeley Layne picked up a pair of pitching wins as the Lady Cardinals won two of three to move to 3-1 on the season. “We played some really good teams,” said Brighton head coach Robin Jacobs. “We've got a lot of teams like that to play this year. This is just the beginning, so hopefully this will help us.” Brighton opened up tournament play with a 1-0 win over Lafayette County (Miss.). Ali Christmas tripled in the first inning and scored on a ground out for the only run of the game. Layne pitched seven scoreless innings to earn the win. Senatobia defeated Brighton 6-4 in game two. Raygan Huffman and Maddy Cox each had a pair of hits for Brighton and Becky Judy took the loss. Layne picked up another pitching win in game three as Brighton routed Booneville 13-3.

Tipton’s cavalry soldiers: actions at Byhalia and Wyatt, Miss. part III During the night of Oct. 12, 1863, Confederate cavalry commanded by Col. Robert Richardson, were encamped at Ingram’s Mill, 20 miles south of Byhalia. At 4 a.m. the next morning, Richardson started his brigades south toward the Tallahatchie River. Col. W. L. Duckworth’s 7th Tennessee cavalry was left to cover the retreat. Before daybreak of the 13th, Federal cavalry began pursuit of Richardson’s troopers. Within two miles of Chulahoma, Duckworth’s men caught up with Richardson’s main body. The Confederates were in the process of making a stand but the advance of Union Col. Gilbert Moyers’ brigade on the road to their left forced another retreat. At Chulahoma, Capt. Baylor Palmer of the Reneau battery, who had served at Randolph in 1861, was found drunk, passed out beside the road and cap-
tured. Twenty miles south of Byhalia was Wyatt, a small village in the northwest corner of Lafayette County, Miss., on the north bank of the Tallahatchie River. (The village is extinct now; the site is now Wyatt’s Crossing public use area boat ramp on Sardis Lake near Hwy. 7.) In order to secure the Confederate prisoners, artillery and wagons, the river bridge at Wyatt had to be defended. Confederate troopers began arriving at Wyatt at 3 p.m. The 7th Tennessee had covered the retreat, skirmishing with lead elements of Col. Edward Hatch’s Union cavalry division. John Johnston of the 7th Tennessee wrote: “We were in front of Richardson’s command…We reached Wyatt awhile before night and formed a line of battle in a semicircle covering the crossing and waited for an attack.” Col. Richardson left a six-pounder cannon under Lt. Charles Adams with Col. William Inge’s 12th Mississippi to defend the pontoon bridge in Wyatt. With his trains and other troops safely across, Richardson dismounted his troops and led them back across the
river, determined to defend Wyatt. The battle line was “drawn up with either flank resting on the river, the center being strengthened by the houses of the village.” Richardson’s effective force of 1,600 men and three serviceable cannon, were placed on the “first and second ridges north of the river on which Wyatt stands.” The ammunition of Richardson’s brigade reportedly averaged five rounds per man. A downpour of rain added to the anxiety of the combatants. Richardson had not completed his line of battle when the Federals arrived north of the village. Hatch’s Federals numbered close to 2,500 men with at least eight cannon. Union sharpshooters fired on the Confederates as they deployed. Duckworth’s brigade held the left of the line; McGuirk’s the center, and Richardson’s West Tennessee brigade under Lt. Col. John U. Green’s, on the right. The 12th Tennessee (including Tipton’s troopers) was placed on the right center of the line “separated from the main alignment by a deep gorge.” The battle line was in the shape of an
arc; it’s radius and center being the ford and bridge defended by the 7th Tennessee (Co. I included men from Tipton) on the left; the 2d Missouri on the right. Joining these men were 60 men of Col. J. Z. George’s 5th Miss. state cavalry. Col. Jesse J. Phillips’ Union brigade attacked and drove back the 12th Mississippi. This allowed the Federals to pour a devastating enfilade fire of small arms and cannon on the 12th Tennessee. Lt. Col. Green ordered his men to fall back in an orderly manner, which gave way to a stampede. The 14th Tennessee, George’s 5th Mississippi and the 18th Miss. battalion “gave way in great confusion.” These men sought shelter behind the houses beneath the hills. The bridge and ford was now within reach of Union cavalry; if Federal cavalry secured these, the Confederate line would be split in twain. The dismounted rebel troopers, their horses on the south side of the river, would be easy prey for the bluecoats. Continued next week
Almyra Libby Click Hi everyone. I hope your week has been a good one. Mine was filled with various activities, thank the Lord. Staying busy is a key element of life. Baseball season has opened and, needless to say, I’ve been to a couple of those as well as one doctor appointment. My taxes have been completed and there was even time for a massage. My son, Mike Scott, and two of my grandsons, Hayden and Luke, came over and cut down a broken tree in the front yard and took it away.
Thank you, fellows! Saturday was pretty nice, so I got my gloves out and went to work cutting monkey grass around the yard and raked a few leaves, but I only made a dent. I still have a lot to do and thankful I can do it. I love yard work. Bill and I went to the Brighton Fest and Car Show as well as the Three Star spaghetti supper and fundraiser Saturday. We are all so fortunate to have opportunities to keep us busy here in the county. Neighborhood watch

Dunlap Retirement Center Kathy Keiter Hello, everybody! I sure hope and pray everyone is doing well and staying inside and warm. I want to know: did we miss spring? Oh, my goodness! It’s been a doozy, hasn’t it? Pretty soon we’ll be begging for relief from the heat, though, so I guess we’ll just have to put up with it until it’s gone and the good Lord is ready for us to have warmer weather. We so appreciate the ladies ministries of Brighton Baptist Church for coming over last Thursday to bring dessert for all the folks. They really enjoyed y’all coming and it made them feel very special. A great big thank you from us to you all! Also, I don’t take the chance enough to say thank you to Pastor Dwayne Hood and his family, who come every
Monday morning at 10:30 to pray, do a devotional and give the folks a chance to sing and glorify the Lord God Almighty. Thank you so very much Pastor Hood and your precious family for coming! Pastor Hood has been faithful to this ministry for, I don’t know how many years, seven that I know of, and I think a bunch more years before I came. I’ll bet it’s probably more like 10 or 20 years. God bless you, Pastor, for bringing the gospel to people who can’t get out on Sunday. We love you and appreciate you for this commitment. We’re going to have a new resident come somewhere around the first to mid April. So we want
to welcome her with open arms. We do hope and pray you feel loved and special in your new home!

Elaine Watkins It's a rainy, very windy Sunday afternoon, after a warm Saturday in the near 70s. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed to drop below freezing tonight and only be in the 40s tomorrow, then back into the 60s by the end of week. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tennessee spring weather! There is not much going on around here this time of year. Taxes are done and the men have been clearing trees on several farms. They are getting antsy to get in the field and plant some corn! We had Lyla part of three days last week while Liz and Justin were at auctions. We took her for chicken nuggets Thursday and then went to see the baby chicks at the farm store north of town. She loved them and couldn't wait to tell her mama she saw the baby chicks! We had lots of fun while she was here; we made a cake and I rolled her hair. I got a half flat of strawberries from the Diamond Club at Covington High, delivered by Christie and Chloe
Coughlan, and Lyla had fun watching me core and top them with a plastic drinking straw. Just push it into the berry from the bottom and you will have little strawberry palm trees. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to do and boy, was the shortcake good! Friday night was dinner and movie night for the Church of Christ women. Cammy Evans, Pam Tankersley, Paulette Graham and Wanda Townsend joined me for dinner and the movie "Pompeii," which was really, really good! I'm not much on gladiator fighting, but since you got to know and root for two of the characters, it was a good movie, with a compelling love story and few bad guys. You don't go to too many movies where the audience applauds at the end, but this was one! Bobbie Deen is at HealthSouth now, following a stroke. Ruby Hopper had surgery Tuesday and Dale Laxton is
home. John Dickey is ailing and Craig Clay, Steve Walk and Wayne Kidd are all recovering. Prayers for Jere Hadley, who has double pneumonia; Keith McCalla, Lillie Mae Glass and so many others, along with all servicemen and women. The birthday party at Covington Care will be on the 22nd at 2:30 p.m. The seniors will go to Reelfoot Lake for catfish on the 25th. The life support workday at West Kentucky Youth Camp will be this weekend, as well as the CIA skating party. Spring break for Tipton County is the week of March 24-29. Congratulations to Reese Cartwright for being student of the month for the eighth grade, and to Zoe Liles for her induction in the National Honor Society! Happy birthday to Shelia Pena and Lexi Matlock on March 18th! And a special happy birthday to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Queen of Mt. Carmel,â&#x20AC;? Catherine Mc-
Calla, on March 20! We wish you many more! Sympathy is extended to Pam Tankersley in the death of her aunt and uncle, Lawrence and Imogene Cates. They roomed together in a nursing home, and the dates of their deaths were so close together that they were buried together. How sweet is that? Happy birthday at Clopton United Methodist Church to Jerry Owen, March 17, and to Bob Forbess and Victoria Spitznas on the 18th! Sunday, March 23, is the deadline to sign up for Area One Camp. See Courtney Gray for more information. Old eyeglasses can be donated to Project 20/20 and don't forget that the annual blood drive will be on Easter Sunday. This week's Farmer's Almanac quote: "A cat is always on the wrong side of the door." Yep! Enjoy the ever-changing weather. Soon it will be hot every day!

Church in Covington, also on the 19th; Ive Norris, Jr. 21st, and Ashley Gray and Matthew Nicholas on the 23rd. Correction from last week was a name misspelled twice, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eugene Baker not Baxter and it was Gertrude Ewell Matthew who passed not Gavester. Please accept apologizes on these misspellings. This is all for this week remember, "Goodwill doesn't always come in a basket, it sometimes comes in the form of a kind stranger." Until next time.

Brighton offense in high gear By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com If the early part of the season is any indication, the Brighton baseball team is going to put up a lot of runs this season. After an 11-8 win over Germantown last Friday, the Cardinals routed Haywood 16-3 on Tuesday in Best of the West action to move to 4-2 on the season. Colton Hathcock drove in a run in the first inning with a double off the centerfield wall and finished 2 for 3 with three RBIs to pace the Cardinals' offense. Colby Poston also had a big game for the Cardinals. He doubled, singled and drove
in two runs. Ladarius Williams was 2 for 4 for Brighton and drove in three runs and Kolton Childress was 2 for 3 with a pair of RBIs. Bentley Jones joined the hit parade with a single and an RBI. Haywood escaped the first two innings by allowing just a pair of runs, but Brighton exploded in the third inning with 10 runs. Brighton took advantage of eight Haywood errors in the game and scored four more in the fourth inning to push the lead to 13. Adam Palmer picked up the win for Brighton. He went the distance and allowed just three hits while striking out five.
The opening of the Covington Lady Charger softball season has been a bit rough for new head coach Matt Shearon and his very young team as they finished their first week of play at 1-5. Covington's roster includes seven freshmen and six sophomores. There are only two seniors and six juniors on the squad. “The girls are competing well,” Shearon said. “We just have to learn to win by overcoming adversity and playing with great mental focus for seven innings. Playing quality competition early benefits a young roster when time comes to play in the district and in tournament play." Covington fell at USJ 8-5 on March 11. Top hitters in the game were Neely Glenn, Hannah Clifton and Maddie Lane. Errors were a deciding factor in the contest. The weekend found CHS in the Sarah Beth Whitehead Memorial Tournament in Jackson where they went 1-4. USJ was a victor 2-1 in the opening game. Malia Johnson, Lane, Alli McDivitt and Anna Adkinson were 1 for

3 for Covington in the contest. Wayne County dropped the Lady Chargers 4-1 in the second game. Johnson was 2 for 3 at the plate. Glenn, Lane, Raygen Escue, Tierra Williams and Auburn Davidson all contributed a hit. Covington recorded its first win of the year against Hardin County with a 9-4 win.
