Taxes, utilities on the rise in Covington

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com As in years past, Covington residents can soon expect to see an increase in taxes and utility fees.

Passing on their first approval Tuesday afternoon, four proposals will increase the sewer, water and solid waste fees and the property tax rate.

Part of a proposed $22 million budget for fiscal year 2015, the tax rate will increase to $1.33 per $100 of assessed valuation. It also increased

four cents in 2013.

Mayor David Gordon said this year's increase was prompted by a reappraisal.

"The reason for the increase this year is due to this being a reappraisal year. $1.33 is the certified tax rate so that that revenue is equal to last year. It could have gone down if appraisal values had been higher than the last appraisal."

And because the industrial sector isn't using as much water and sewer as it once was, residents' rates will increase to help close the gap.

Water rates will increase

by 3 percent, and sewer by 4, bringing in an estimated $121,000 more revenue.

Solid waste rates are set to increase to $26 per month for residential customers with roll-out carts, which is an estimated $84,000 more revenue than FY14. Fees for additional carts will increase from $10 to $11 per month, a move that Alderman Tommy Black said he was uncomfortable with at Tuesday's meeting.

"I'm not in favor of this $1 jump on the additional container fee until I can talk to (public works director) Robert

Martin Simpson first."

Black did not specify his disagreement with the charge, however.

Gordon said the large amount of woody waste, and the overtime paid to employees to help clear the large amount of storm debris this year, have necessitated an increase in fees in FY2015.

The budget proposal includes $7,563,800 in local tax revenue, $1,574,105 in intergovernmental revenue and a combined $3,642,462 for the public safety department.

Budgets for the city pool

and the Frazier Building have increased as well, accounting for utlities in the coming year as the pool is enclosed and the Boys & Girls Club of the Hatchie River Region, set to open on Aug. 11, begins its operation.

"We try to be conservative each budget cycle by estimating expenses somewhat on the high side and revenues on the low side," Gordon said.

"It is not good government to spend more than you have."

The next budget hearing will take place on July 22 at 5:30 p.m.

Murder charge increases for Brewer

City to get help with wood-chipping

EVENT

‘Best of the Best’ banquet sold out

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com COVINGTON – After a lunch break Tuesday afternoon, John Evans got back to work at Covington Church of Christ, removing limbs from a large pecan tree that fell Monday, and narrowly missed the building.

"You know, I bought this chainsaw when I went down to Katrina," he said, smiling, "and I used it to help during the Dyersburg tornado,too."

It seems fitting, then, that the same chainsaw would be used to help his own church during its time of need. Evans cut the limbs from the trunk of the tree, then into more manageable logs for his 10-year-old son, Andrew, to carry to a growing pile ready for pickup.

"We're going to get done what we can, then get it out to the curb and I think the city will come by to pick it up," Evans said.

It's a process that's become a habit as storms continue to drop large trees and limbs – nearly two dozen of them blocked roadways Monday night – leaving plenty to clean up in their

A Brighton woman originally charged with reckless homicide in her husband's death now faces a firstdegree murder charge in the case.

The Tennessee Bureau of BREWER Investigation said the charges against Angela Denise Brewer, 43, increased because of the evidence produced by "further investigation."

The first-degree charge means the state will be attempting to provide proof of premeditated murder.

The City of Covington is so overwhelmed by the cleanup of fallen trees and limbs after a devastating ice storm on March 3 and a storm that brought straight-line winds on June 5, in addition to its normal volume, that city leaders approved paying

The rate at which tickets were sold came as a surprise, he said.

"We couldn't be happier with the response. Even before our RSVP date, we'd sold every single seat, every overflow seat and have nearly 100 people on our waiting list. The response has been overwhelmingly positive and we couldn't be more thrilled that so many readers have committed to be in attendance."

MURDER

Continued from A1 her husband, William "Stan" Brewer Jr., 37, in the head while he slept on Dec. 8, 2013.

She told police she heard an intruder outside of the home the couple shared with their children. Mrs. Brewer reportedly retrieved a shotgun, loaded it and returned to the bedroom after checking both the back door and front window.

She maintains she set the gun down next to her husband while attempting to wake him, pointing the barrel at his head, and told police it went off when she leaned over.

Brewer was arrested in December and was originally charged with reckless homicide and aggravated assault.

When she was arraigned days later, however, Brewer’s charges were increased to second-degree murder, citing her familiarity with the firearm and completion of a hunter safety course as the reason for the charge.

Along with the indictment for first-degree murder, Brewer was also indicted for possession of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony.

Bond in the case was set at $100,000.

PUBLIC SAFETY

Children found inside meth house

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com COVINGTON – A meth bust on Ash Street led to the discovery of two children inside a home where drugs were present, said police chief Buddy Lewis.

The children, ages 3 and 7, were in a home where the adults are accused of manufacturing methamphetamine, a dangerous combination of chemical elements that is noxious at the least and could cause burns to their bodies.

"These children were transported to Baptist Hospital-Tipton to be checked out because of the chemicals and meth precursors that were in the house," said Lewis.

The Covington Fire Department Haz-Mat Unit assisted in the cleanup effort and to provide first

aid, if needed, for exposure to the chemicals.

"I am very happy we were able to safely remove the chemicals and remove the two children from the location without incident."

According to Lewis, after receiving a tip that illegal activity was taking place at the house, narcotics officers arrested Joseph Breedlove, 31, and Billie Moonie, 21.

They charged the pair with possession of a schedule II drug (methamphetamine), possession of methamphetamine precursors, initiation of the manufacture of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, child endangerment and violation of the drug-free school zone act.

"These chemicals are very dangerous and our officers, along

with the Covington Fire Department personnel, did a great job in dealing with this incident," Lewis said. "I am very proud of the work that was done by members of the Covington Police Department and members of the Covington Fire Department in this case."

The Department of Children's Services was contacted to take care of the children and the Meth Task Force Unit was on scene to secure the confiscated chemicals.

Lewis urges anyone with information about persons cooking meth or engaged in other illegal activities to contact the police department at 901-475-1261.

"I can assure everyone that your name will not be released and action will be taken on the information provided."

SCHOOLS

Open enrollment deemed successful

By FRANCE GASQUET fgasquet@covingtonleader.com A first-time lottery drawing for open enrollment was held Monday at Brighton High School.

The lottery was a result of two schools, Brighton Elementary and Brighton Middle exceeding capacity due to open enrollment.

The open enrollment policy, which passed this spring, gave parents the opportunity to transfer students from their zoned school to other schools in the system beginning this fall.

Director of Operations for Tipton County Schools, Charlotte Fisher, and her committee were tasked with creating a seamless enrollment process, ensuring that the

transition was smooth for all schools, parents, students and administration.

The operations committee reviewed other district guidelines to develop an implementation plan for open enrollment, including the systems of Shelby County, Metro Nashville, Jackson Madison and Wilson County/ Knox County.

“The biggest obstacle that students who want to transfer will face is if there is adequate space available. There is not much room for movement,” said Dr. Fisher.

According to the Board of Education, capacity is defined as “numbers of students, diversity of student population, general program offerings and space allocations.”

And priority preference for transferring include, “employee; siblings of students currently in a transfer situation; special programs offered in one school and not available in another; and all other students.”

In addition to Brighton Elementary and Brighton Middle, Austin Peay Elementary, Covington Integrated Arts Academy, Drummonds Elementary, Crestview Middle, Covington High, Brighton High and Munford High were eligible for open enrollment.

The district received 97 open enrollment applications and more than 30 people attended the lottery After the lottery, parents were informed via telephone and e-mail on

Nurse practioners Jennifer Easley and Debbie Delones, along with physician Michael Craig, are certified medical examiners listed on the National Registry.

The clinic bid $40 per examination and $10 for urinalysis for a total of $50 per exam.

“The open enrollment process was successful due to effective planning on the front end,” said Fisher. “We tried to answer all questions before they were asked.

Our attempt was to inform the community about the process and to make the choice available to parents.”

FLASHBACK

Response to banquet proves tremendous

The first-ever Best of the Best banquet sponsored

by The Leader is shaping up to be more than we bargained for thanks to tremendous support from local businesses and community members.

Some background: Each year, The Leader publishes a Best of the Best edition, which is a compilation of our Readers’ Choice Awards in a number of categories. We publish a ballot for four weeks in the newspaper, readers fill out those ballots and submit them to the newspaper and our staff counts the votes. The top three nominees are recognized with the highest vote-getter winning the category.

Now entering our eighth year, we thought a more official presentation would be appropriate, so we opted to host a banquet on July 29 at the Chamber Center in downtown Covington.

Invitations went out and we crossed our fingers that we’d have enough people interested to put on a good program. Hopeful that we could get 100 people to come, we held our breath. But we never anticipated…

As of now, as these words are being typed, the day after the RSVP deadline, we have a waiting list of nearly 100 seats on top of a maxed-out venue.

While our head count remains FROM THE PUBLISHER comfortably below the fire safety maximum capacity, we BRIAN BLACKLEY couldn’t fit more folks in the room unless we removed the tables, which isn’t an option since dinner is being served.

For our oversight in not recognizing the demand for participation in this event — particularly to our nominees who called too late to get seating — we apologize. We’ve got something to think about as we try to make our second banquet in 2015 better than the 2014 event.

And to those who are attending, know that we’re very grateful for your support and we know the award winners will be grateful, too, to have you in the audience because it’s their night to shine.

Winning a Readers’ Choice Award can mean a lot of things. Some cynics say it’s a popularity contest. Maybe so. Some say it’s a reflection of hard work, service, quality and dedication. We certainly believe that. Some have said it just means that a candidate rallied his or her customers and friends to win support. Could be. But don’t all of those things say something about the person or business winning? To have people voting for you, going through effort to do so, whether because of service, quality, hard work or popularity means something wonderful happened. People cared enough to vote for you. In the business world and in the world of friendship and personal relationships, that means everything.

Best of the Best is not a scientific poll. It’s not about quantifiable standards and objective measures of performance. It’s about love from the community. And who doesn’t desire that? Is there a better award to receive? We may be biased but we don’t think so.

cobs flying, hitting anything, yelling, running here and there, it was a sight to behold. At least to some young kids back then. Well, you were supposed to keep score too, but the losers never could remember.

The day before a fight, everyone would get some five gallon buckets and fill them with water. Soaking the corn cobs overnight made the corncobs nice and heavy. Now, these soaked corn cobs would put a “wep” (welt) on you real good, especially with the mud, and what else you get in a barnyard. When you got hit, everyone knew it, ’cause they would make you holler “calf-rope” for sure.

You might find buckets of soaked cobs hidden all over the place the following week, because no one wanted to run out of ammunition and get slaughtered. This was a big event for us, and usually went on all afternoon, ‘til a winner was declared, or we just plain gave out.

Then, it was off to Mr. Ben’s store for an R.C. or Pepsi, and rehash the events. This gave everyone a chance to defend themselves, ’cause before the day was over, everyone was a winner. When I see some of my old friends, and bring up the corn cob fights, the talks are legendary, as no one ever lost!

This brings back some good memories of the past, and it makes you wonder how the kids today can go through life without a good down to earth corn cob fight!

A good “singles hitter,” for instance, won’t waste a lot of effort in trying to hit home runs, while a powerful, but slow, slugger might not attempt to steal a base. Investors have limits, too, based on their sophistication and their financial resources. To illustrate: Some wealthy and highly experienced investors may embark on complex or risky strategies, or purchase hard-to-understand investments. But these risky techniques and complex investments are not for everyone — and smart, “everyday” investors know this and stick with proven strategies and comprehensible investments.

You may never step foot on a baseball diamond. But as an investor, you can still pick up some “gems” of wisdom from the All Stars.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Fools and fireworks I enjoy the excitement of the Fourth of July as much as anyone.

In years past I was as guilty as others for using fireworks illegally, but as I grew older, I understood the dangers! Now we watch them from places that are done professionally.

What really upsets me are fools (yes, fools) that mask their gunshots with the noise of fireworks.

This past Friday (July 4), my daughter’s truck was shot in the driveway of our home. There was a broken window and door panel damage. My home has a broken window and holes through the wall.

Thank God my neighbor was not home at this time because her grandchildren would probably have been in the front yard, right in the track of this gunfire.

Thank God my great-grandchildren were at church watching legal fireworks when the shots came through my wall.

Thank God no one was hurt … this time.

What is our city coming to when fools think danger is fun?

Lord help us!

There are now side airbags and even some rollover airbags. They help, but they do not replace wearing your seatbelt. And nothing prevents accidents like common sense. It’s just not all that common anymore.

Methodist-Presbyterian Nursery School celebrates 50 years

By FRANCE GASQUET fgasquet@covingtonleader.com For many children, going to nursery school is their first experience with other children. One adult, who shall remain nameless, remembers he was afraid he would catch freckles from another boy at school.

Another adult remembers that, as a little girl, she made an Easter bonnet out of cardboard cutouts and decorated with pieces of wallpaper for flowers, which she then proudly wore for the Easter Parade on the Covington Square.

These days, the Easter bonnets are from Dollar Tree, but the Easter parade still goes on, as it has for the last 50 years.

On Aug. 16, Methodist-Presbyterian Nursery School will celebrate a half century in operation with a celebration from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Presbyterian parking lot.

The school, which was founded and remains at First Presbyterian Church in Covington, will have a carnival for children, including a slide, face painting, a silent auction for adults, a bake sale and a slide

show of different classes throughout the years.

According to coordinator Andrea Franklin, the school hopes the festival will be a reunion for past students.

Special memories for students include fond recollections of mother and daughter teachers Meme Witherington and Nan Lindsey, the Halloween costume parade and going trick-or-treating on the square; walking down to the Tipton County Library for library day, attending the Veteran’s Day parade to honor veterans and wearing a special crown on their birthday.

Proceeds from the celebration will fund new table and chairs and a new playground structure. If can’t come and donate, donate in memory or honor of a teacher they had or their child had.

T-shirts will be for sale beforehand and the day of the event.

This year, third generation children will begin attending the school. Hopefully, they won’t be afraid of catching the freckles.

DIXIE GIRLS SOFTBALL WORLD SERIES

Best in nation coming to Atoka

Atoka will host Debs, Angels World Series starting July 25

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com There will be a ton of softball players, coaches and fans in and around South Tipton County next week.

For the first time in the town's history, Atoka will host the Dixie Girls Softball World Series.

"It's a huge deal," said Brian Peel, Atoka's parks and recreation director. "It definitely puts us in the spotlight."

Twelve teams in two different ages groups - Debs (15-18) and Angels X-Play (9-10) - will compete in two separate tournaments at Nancy Lane Memorial Park July 26-30.

A dinner will be held at Brighton High School on July 25 for players, coaches and their families and the opening ceremonies will follow around 7:30 p.m.

Peel said the general public is invited to attend the opening ceremonies at the park, which will be free.

The players will caravan into the park from Adkison Park, which is across the street from Nancy Lane, and have their names called. Live music will follow and a fireworks display at around 9:15 p.m. will end the night.

"We've done fireworks before when we hosted a district tournament," Peel said, "and we had a big turnout from the general public."

The games begin July 26 at 9 a.m. and will continue until the title games on July 30.

Atoka will field a team in each division. Another team from Tennessee will compete as well as squads from Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Virginia, Oklahoma and Texas.

Peel said Comfort Inn and Suites in Atoka is just about all booked up during the tournament, as are some hotels in Millington.

"This is a big benefit to our community as far as sales tax goes and things like that," Peel said.

Admission to games is $8 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under. Children's tournament passes are $20 and adult passes are $30.

The Town of Atoka has spent plenty of money to host the event. Peel said Atoka will share the money SEE SOFTBALL, PAGE B2

Brighton kicker invited to prestigious national camp

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com One of Brighton's biggest offensive weapons this coming football season has been making some noise over the summer.

Senior-to-be Austin Chapman attended a regional camp for football kickers on July 1 in Conway, Ark. Thanks to his performance there, Chapman was invited to attend the Kohl's National Scholarship Camp this weekend in Milwaukee, Wisc.

According to the invitation letter, "This is the premier camp of its kind in the nation. It has been the foundation for many athletes who have gone on to have success in college and the NFL. The camp is a gathering of the best specialists from all over the nation ‌ This camp is not for everyone. That is why we have qualifications."

CARMACK SWEET CORN BARN

Chapman (6-2, 185) has been kicking for Brighton since his freshman season.

He is also a standout in soccer.

In addition to serving as Brighton's captain last year, he has participated in club soccer for the last six years, winning a state title. Chapman also competed in the Region 3 and National Premier League.

The national camp includes punters and long snappers. Approximately 500 athletes are expected to attend.

Another excerpt from the letter read, "We feel you have demonstrated the ability to finish in the upper half of the camp. You are easily a qualifier for this camp and one of the very top national prospects in your class."

Kohl's, ESPN and other organizations rank kickers nationally based partly on performance at the camp in Milwaukee.

Continued from B1 generated from concessions and tickets.

"There's a lot of financial responsibility that goes along with hosting a

world series," Peel said. "We'll end up breaking even, or close to it. There's a lot of prestige that goes along with hosting an event like this."

Thirty to 40 people are expected to travel with each of the 22 out-of-town teams, meaning nearly 1,000 people are expected to be in town over six

days.

"For a lot of people, this is their vacation," Peel said. "We want to show them a good time and be a good host."

THE CIVIL WAR AND TIPTON COUNTY

Tipton’s infantry soldiers in the battle of Missionary Ridge

By RUSSELL BAILEY Tipton County Historian Continued Following the capture of Lookout Mountain, Confederate forces re-concentrated along Missionary Ridge.

Southern army and corps commanders were guilty of faulty troop deployments that contributed largely to defeat on Nov. 25, 1863. Instead of having solid lines, the infantry brigades were divided; half of the units were posted as skirmishers and in rifle pits at the base of the ridge. With a few exceptions, the remainder of the troops was positioned on top of the ridge. Some of the breastworks were in rear of the crest of the ridge and in some places the terrain prevented depressing their guns and cannon low enough to fire on an advancing foe.

Gen. U. S. Grant’s plan of attack called for Gen. W. T. Sherman’s four divisions to attack Bragg’s Confederates from

the north (Confederate right) while Hooker’s corps attacked the Rebel southern flank, or as Capt. James Hall described it: “Our line was being driven in from both ends while Gen. Grant was to make an attack on our center from Chattanooga.”

Daylight of Nov. 25 found Tipton’s men in Maney’s brigade on the Confederate right; a short distance from Gen. Bragg’s headquarters. The night before, they had witnessed a total eclipse of the moon, which many thought was a bad omen.

During early morning, Gen. Bragg and Corps Cmdr. William J. Hardee watched through field glasses, as Grant and his commanders deployed their troops for an advance. Hardee ordered his artillery to fire on the enemy formations. In a letter to his parents, John H. Sweet of Co. C, 9th Tennessee described the action that morning: “Early Wednesday morning, the

Mt. Carmel-Clopton Elaine Watkins We received 2.8 inches of rain last Tuesday night, had rain on Monday night and now it is in the low 80s or even high 70s for a couple of days!

This week's farm report: We are goat farmers! Amanda Cothran, Courtney's mom, brought us two goats last Tuesday, and Clint wanted to name one Billy Bob Thornton, so we just named them Billy and Bob! They were born in late March and Billy is Lamancha/ Saanen and Bob is Saanen/ Nubian. Nubians have tiny little ears, so it made sense to name that one "Bob!” We had a dog pen all grown up in grass and it's pretty much bare now!

Clint and I drove to Sikeston last Monday for parts and to catch some "throwed rolls." I hear one of those restaurants is going in at Millington; I hope so! We had a big time talking and looking at the crops.

Courtney and her mom came over Tuesday (when she brought Billy and Bob) and installed a custom closet for us. I love it! There is nothing

on the floor any more and everything is organized. Liz and Lyla came, and, like me, watched, and we then we all had homemade chicken salad for lunch that I put grapes and pecans in, along with mayonnaise, ranch dressing and a little Worcestershire! I love our closet!

Tuesday night, I went to Cameron and Rachel's reveal party! The grandparents, Brian and Shelley Dickey and David and LaDonna Nance, stood in a circle in the back yard and on “1,2,3, Go!” they shot cans of blue Silly String! It's a boy!

Braden James Dickey is due in 20 weeks! Everyone was ecstatic and we had Twinkies with both pink and blue filling, just in case! It was a great day and night!

I've been busy cleaning out every shelf and drawer in the kitchen and putting new shelfpaper down. I mean cleaning out! I will have a big haul for The Hub in a few days!

Pam and son, Nicholas Tankersley, joined me for

SRVS- Tipton County Floyd Columbus Service recipients worked on outcomes and activities, and made and baked a cake for Heather Webb.

Her birthday was Wednesday, June 18. We want to wish her a happy birthday and many more.

Staff and service recipients went to the River Park at Mud Island in Memphis to walk around and explore the scenery. Afterwards, we went to the horse barn to pet the horses on Friday, June 20. We had a real nice time.

Monday, June 23, staff and service recipients took the newspaper article to The Leader office in Covington. We worked on outcomes and watched a DVD of the Smurfs on the iPad. Tuesday, June 24, staff and service recipients went to the gym to work out and exercise. We saw Jerry and Terry Bouwman and Ms. Edith Braddock, their

pickets met fighting and we knew we would have a general engagement. I stood upon the hill and I thought it was the grandest scene I ever beheld.

I had been in general fights before, but was always so busily engaged I would see nothing, but this time we were on the ridge and the Yankee army racing through an open space to charge our fortifications…

“I was standing just behind one of our batteries (Capt. T. B. Ferguson’s South Carolina armed with six Napoleon cannon) and watched particularly the firing of one of the sections commanded

by Lt. (Rene T.) Beauregard, son of our beloved Gen. Beauregard; I never saw such shooting done. It would pitch the shells into their ranks and I would see it all for it was beautiful, clear day, not a cloud to be seen and every time the order was given to fire, I would pray that the Almighty would direct the balls and send it directly on its bloody mission and make it effective in its

dinner and movie night last Friday. Pam was the only one of our group who could go, so her son sat somewhere else in the movie, but joined us for dinner afterwards. “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” is good!

Dale and Shirley Laxton were both back at church today; it was good to see them! John Evans and Charlie Hardin are on our prayer list, along with Becky Todd's sister-in-law, who has had a stroke soon after her husband, Ricky Todd's death.

Also on the prayer list, former member, Bob Cloy; Carline Myracle, Jim Edmonds' sister; Florence Robertson, Mike Rogers' mom; and so many others, along with those taking treatments and all servicemen and women. And let us pray for all voters! Early voting begins Friday, July 18, and goes through Aug. 2! Vote your conscience, not a party!

Eleven folks from the Covington Church of Christ left for Costa Rica Friday morning on a mission trip.

They got there safely; please pray for a fruitful trip and safe trip home!

work of destruction, a bloody prayer for a Christian man, but I believe it was right.”

By midday, Maney’s brigade and Gen. Alfred Cumming’s Georgia brigade were ordered further to the right to reinforce the 4,000 Confederates of Irish-born Gen. Patrick R. Cleburne’s division above Tunnel Hill.

Since early morning, Cleburne’s position had been attacked by elements of four Union divisions, 30,000 veteran soldiers, under Gen. William T. Sherman.

With all of his might, Sherman failed to drive the Confederates. Upon arrival, Cleburne directed Maney’s brigade to take the front line where Granbury’s Texas brigade had been shooting at the Federals all day. The Texans refused to be relieved, so Maney’s regiments fell in behind them in reserve. Cleburne told Maney that he would send word when to send his best regiment into the fight in support of the Texans.

Continued next week

The birthday party at Covington Manor will be on the 19th at 2 p.m. and the devotional at Covington Care will be on the 20th at 4 p.m.

Happy birthday this week to Craig Clay and Grayson Robinson on July 13, Shelley Halford and Beau Phillips, who will celebrate his birthday in Costa Rica on the 14th; Alex Fletcher on the 17th, Jimmy McMahan on the 18th and Bobbie Deen on the 19th!

Happy anniversary to J. J. and Brandy Brown on July 13 and Justin and Elizabeth Harrell, who will celebrate their 10th on the 17th!

My sincere sympathy goes to Debbie Taylor in the death of her husband, Steve, Sunday morning, after a too-short battle with cancer. Debbie is Shelley Dickey's aunt. The family is in my prayers.

At the Clopton United Methodist Church, the trustees will meet at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, the 20th, as well as a church council meeting at 4:30 p.m. Elementary and junior high kids go to camp at Lakeshore from the 20th through the 26th. There is no

housemother. It was good to see them.

Service recipients worked on outcomes of choice and activities on Wednesday, June 25. Mr. Tim Ammons, service recipients and staff worked out in the garden.

Some of the staff and service recipients watched “The Andy Griffith Show” on the iPad. We want to thank Mr. Bill Franklin for coming out and cutting the yard for us. We went to the recreational room and worked on their activities and outcomes.

Staff and service recipients went to the gym and got some exercise on Thursday, June 26.

Staff and service recipients went to the Covington court square market, purchased some fruits and vegetables and worked on money management on Friday, June 27. Service recipients worked on some patriotic pictures, which were displayed at the center for the 4th of July holiday.

Staff and service recipients worked on outcomes

This week's Farmer's Almanac quote: "When a cow clumps its side with its tail, look out for thunder, lightning and hail." Thunder and lightning are okay, but we sure don't need any hail. We never, ever need any hail!

Until next week . . .

and went to Fred’s to purchase some items and work on money management on Wednesday, July 2.

We want to welcome Michael Foster, a new service recipient to our center. We welcome him with open arms.

Staff and service recipients went outside, worked in the garden and picked some vegetables. Mr. Bill Franklin came out and cut the yard. We want to thank him for his hard work; it is appreciated very much.

Thanks again to all our parents and staff who help at the center and keep it going year-round. Staff and service recipients were out for the July 4th holiday weekend. The center reopened on Monday, July 7.

Until next time, Floyd Columbus.

Tipton County receives mission work

By FRANCE GASQUET fgasquet@covingtonleader.com During the last week, more than 50 sites in Tipton County were part of a mission experience for campers from 14 states. The 427 participants, comprised of 407 youth and adults and a staff of 20, formed 68 crews to work on residences in the county; painting houses, building ramps, mowing fields and eliminating safety hazards, such as shaky stairs.

The camp, part of groupmissiontrips.com, took two years to develop and was sponsored by the Tipton County government.

The campers- senior high school students from Wisconsin, Michigan, New Jersey, Missouri, Illinois, Georgia, Texas, Indiana, Ohio, Nebraska, Kansas, New York, South Carolina and Vermont- enjoyed the week, but were surprised by the environmental differences from their homes. One Wisconsin native, said this was the best experience of her

life, with exception of the Southern heat. A second camper agreed and said he was surprised at the size of the wasps.

This spring, residences across Tipton County were visited and selected and a job description was written. Brighton Middle School was rented for the week for lodging, as well as custodial services.

A set-up crew came in a week beforehand and then campers arrived on Sunday, receiving their assignments, meeting their crews and getting settled before the work began.

The crews worked Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. on their assignment, even staying on site for lunch.

This is not the first time Tipton County has had mission campers from groupmissiontrips.com. The camp chose Tipton County because they had been here before and liked that it was rural, yet there were residential homes to be served.

For more information about the camp, visit groupmissiontrips.com.
