County voters hit the polls today DA, public defender, state rep. among contested races By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Tipton County residents hit the polls today for the county general election, as well as the state and federal primaries. There are a few contested races of note on the ballot, including district attorney general, public defender, general sessions judge and the Republican nomination for the Tennessee House of Representatives. A contested race for sheriff typically brings a lot of people to the polls, but incumbent J.T. “Pancho” Chumely is running unopposed. When the polls closed for early voting on Saturday, 5,071 people had cast ballots in Tipton County. “The turnout has been a little light,” said administrator of elections Neil Bell. “Four years ago, and eight years ago, the

Career Coach comes to TCAT

Haslam, Alexander visit Munford

By FRANCE GASQUET fgasquet@covingtonleader.com On Monday, the Career Coach traveled two and a half hours to Covington to help Tipton Countians better qualify for available jobs. The event, sponsored by the Tennessee College of Applied Technology, was held on the Covington campus. “This is a great mobile resource that presents opportunity for many of our students to visit and learn about job listings in the state of Tennessee and the available resources that will prepare them for employment after training,” said Glenn Baker, recruiter and training coordinator at TCAT Covington. Headquarterd in Huntingdon, the Career Coach, one of three career centers on wheels, is used by the Department of Labor and Workforce Development for the rural areas of West Tennessee.

Huge crowd attends Best of the Best Banquet By LEADER STAFF news@covingtonleader.com The Leader’s first Best of the Best Banquet catered to a sold-out crowd at the Covington-Tipton County Chamber Center on July 29. Best of the Best is the newspaper’s annual Reader’s Choice Awards presented to winners in more than 70 categories. Additionally, a youth of the year, man of the year and woman of the year award are presented to people who the newspaper’s readers feel made significant contributions to the community. While the newspaper has conducted the Best of the Best RCAs for eight years, this marked the first banquet. “Announcing the names in the

paper without fanfare seemed anticlimactic,” said Leader publisher Brian Blackley. “This is a way to really honor those who were chosen as the best by the readers of the newspaper and puts the focus back the hard work and excellent service provided by people and organizations throughout the community. If that was the point, Blackley said, the banquet was a terrific success based on attendance and feedback. “We’re overwhelmed by the support of the community and the businesses and organizations who attended and were part of such a terrific night,” Blackley said. “We went all out to make sure we held an event worthy of those who are the Best of the Best in Tipton County and SEE BEST, PAGE A3

Local Boys & Girls Club opens Monday By FRANCE GASQUET fgasquet@covingtonleader.com The Boys & Girls Club of the Hatchie River Region held an open house last Monday before the official first day on Monday, Aug. 11. The new club, located at 412 Alston Circle in Covington, is headquartered in the Frazier Park gym. According to chief professional officer Dr. Tracey Johnson, the club will provide education and career development, health and life skills, and artistic expression through crafts and arts programs. It has a goal of a 100 percent high school graduation rate for its club members. “The club gives children a place to go to after school, somewhere to be involved and have fun learning," Johnson said. "I’ve heard parents say they are excited that the club is opening, because the club gives the children a safe place to come to and be involved.” During the open house, students currently enrolled at the club were given backpacks and the public was allowed to tour the facility. Preparing for the opening, extensive renovations have been underway, including new coats of paint, TRACEY JOHNSON new furniture, lockers and even new polyurethane floors in the gym. The club boasts a game room, basketball, board games and computer games, and will offer classes in the creative arts, such as photography. Johnson says she hopes this is the first of many clubs in the area. “This is about improving the lives of children, which will then improve the community. Education is vitally important for our community to continue to grow and thrive,” said Johnson. “We’re here to make sure that happens.” The club is open to children ages 5-18 who are enrolled in school. The club welcomes children from all over Tipton County, as well as other counties. For more information in the club or how to volunteer, go to www. bgchrr.com.

Students beat TCAP average in 10 of 11 categories By FRANCE GASQUET fgasquet@covingtonleader.com The Tipton County school system’s achievement results have been released for the 20132014 school year and according to superintendent Dr. William E. Bibb, they’re very good. “We are pleased with the recently released student achievement results,” said Dr. Bibb. “When looking at key indicators, Tipton County students scored above the state average in 10 of 11 areas. When comparing achievement results from the 2013-14 school year with the previous year, our students performed better

in 9 of 11 areas.” Although all three levels of high school English increased in proficiency, reading and language skills for third through eighth grade decreased by 6.1 percent. Algebra I dropped a minute 0.3 percent from last year and Algebra II proficiency increased by 8.9 percent. Rounding out the testing, U.S. history, science and social studies all increased in proficiency, by 0.6 percent, 1.3 percent and 0.5 percent, respectively. According to Dr. Bibb, this level of achievement is significant when considering

Continued from A1 have air conditioning, MIFI, with SMART board and are enabled to give classes on board. The mobile unit trains jobseekers on skills necessary to get and retain a job. Resume writing, job search strategies and interviewing skills, as well as basic computer instruction, such as obtaining an email address, are offered on the Career Coach. Jobseekers who attended Monday’s event were able to peruse the Tennessee job search database, which features more than 85,000 jobs pulled from the top job search engines, as well as posting their resume online. People who didn’t attend, but would like to use the online database may do so at www.jobs4tn.gov. The mobile unit has four representatives and 10 workstations and can accommodate more than 20 people at a time, although Sandy Barnett, mobile services coordinator for West Tennessee, prefers to keep that number lower. “What we do, this is a special service- and a lot of times, it’s about a person making that connection with the TN Career Center, helping get comfortable enough to interview,” said Barnett. “We spend time on resume review, critique and tips for enhancement. We like to encourage and give tips on dress. We also give advice on other places to look for jobs; anything that we might have heard of in the surrounding areas for work. One-on-one time is very important to a new jobseeker.” The program focuses not only on matching to current openings, but also teaching people how to look for jobs themselves. That task is not always easy. These days, even applying for a position

depends on technology. According to Barnett, many people are lacking computer skills and don’t bring resumes to the events. “More jobs now request applying straight to website,” said Barnett. “Sometimes we have to teach how to set up an email to apply for a job.” Barnett makes sure each jobseeker leaves with a sample resume. “It shows how to put their work history in; it’s a basic one that’s pretty user friendly,” she said. Barnett said any organization may request this service. The Career Coach is also now equipped to give the GED/high-set test. For more information, contact Barnett at 731986-8217 or e-mail at Sandra.barnett@tn.gov. Tips for landing that position • Important to research company. • Watch your posture during interviews. Says Barnett: “This lady was dynamic, but what she was projecting to the employer was closed off and negative. The moment we worked with her on interviewing, we realized why she wasn’t getting hired.” • Work on your technology skills, such as computer skills. • Take a resume.

early voting went off without a hitch, although he has had to remind a few campaigners that they must stay 100 feet away from the front door of the polling location. “Everything seems to be going smoothly,” Bell said. “There's a lot to do, but we'll be ready.”

Continued from A1 we’re very pleased with how it turned out.” Managing editor Echo Day, who led many aspects of the event’s planning and preparation, shares the sentiment. “The event went better than we could have imagined,” she said. “We appreciate the support of the community. It shows you still appreciate the work we do after more than 100 years and that’s incredibly rewarding. It’s a terrific experience that will help make the 2015 event bigger and better. We had a lot of fun and we think the folks there really enjoyed it." Blackley said thanks are in order. “Making the night great would not have been possible without the hard work of a great staff, and friends like Lee Johnston and Dawn Johnston and Robin Sealy at the Chamber of Commerce and the help of businesses like Old Town Hall Cafe which did the catering, Hometown Flowers which provided the centerpieces for the tables, the Hadley House for decorating the windows of the

Chamber Center and our friend Scott Oates for his assistance with the wine. “Finally, Justin Hanson really went all out as the emcee for the event and made the night flow incredibly well. His professionalism, humor and entertaining wit can’t be overstated.” The night was not without its hiccups, Blackley said. “The key criticism we’ve had is that the venue was too small,” Blackley said. “Frankly, we under anticipated demand and overbooked the venue, forcing some folks to tables in the upstairs area. We failed to see that issue, so next year we’ll have to make some changes, perhaps limiting the number of seats available to each business and organization. In a way, I suppose, that’s a good problem to have and for that we’re tremendously humbled and pleased. We’re very grateful to those in attendance as well. It really made for a nice, fun night.” The Leader’s annual Best of the Best edition which will list the winners and include photos from the banquet will publish Aug. 29.

Through these meetings and classes, I have been able to keep up with the changing State Laws and also learn from other Registers across the State. We are in the process of scanning the old Deed and Trust Deed books into the Computer. This will make research easier, plus insure we have a digital copy in case of a disaster. In the future, we will begin accepting documents electronically. This will not be a cost to the county, but will be a benefit to our filing institutes. Also, I will be looking into the different methods of going “paperless” in the office. This is the way of the future and it will save the county money. Thank you for allowing me to serve as your Register of Deeds for the past eight years, and I appreciate your vote of support.

FLASHBACK

Farmers markets becoming prevalent The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) Administrator Anne Alonzo announced over the weekend that USDA’s National Farmers Market Directory now lists 8,268 markets, an increase of 76 percent since 2008. The data reflects continued demand and growth of farmers markets in every region of the country. Alonzo also announced that AMS is developing three new local food directories that will expand USDA’s support for local and regional foods by providing easy access to the most current information about the local food market. Alonzo made the announcements at the Dane County Farmers Market in Madison, Wisc., the country’s largest producer-only market, where she kicked off the 15th annual “National Farmers Market Week,” Aug. 3-9. “The National Farmers Market Directory numbers reflect the continued importance of farmers markets to American agriculture. Since its inception, the directory has proven to be a valuable tool for accessing up-to-date information about local farmers markets,” Alonzo said. “Farmers markets play an extremely important role for both farmers and consumers. They bring urban and rural communities together while creating economic growth and increasing access to fresh, healthy foods.” The USDA National Farmers Market Directory, available at farmersmarkets.usda.gov, provides information about U.S. farmers market locations, directions, operating times, product offerings, and much more. The data is collected via voluntary self-reporting by operating farmers market managers and is searchable by zip code, product mix, and other criteria. The National Farmers Market Directory receives over two million hits annually. In addition to USDA’s National Farmers Market Directory, AMS is adding: • USDA’s National Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) Enterprise Directory - A CSA is a farm or network/association of multiple farms that offer consumers regular deliveries of locallygrown farm products during one or more harvest season(s) on a subscription or membership basis. • USDA’s National Food Hub Directory - A Food Hub is a business or organization that actively manages the aggregation, distribution, and marketing of source-identified food products to multiple buyers from multiple producers, primarily local and regional producers, to strengthen the ability of these producers to satisfy local and regional wholesale, retail, and institutional demand. •USDA’s National On-Farm Market Directory - An On-Farm Market is a farm market managed by a single farm operator that sells agricultural and/or horticultural products directly to consumers from a location on their farm property or on property adjacent to that farm. USDA invites local food business owners who fall within these categories to list their operational details in the new directories www.usdalocalfooddirectories.com. These new directories will be available online early in 2015, giving potential customers, business partners, and community planners easy, one-stop access to the most current information about different sources of local foods.

good, but they are not country. Thank goodness we have some classic radio. I have a friend from Blue Springs, Miss., “Bashful Bob,” that plays old country one day a week in Memphis. Someone called up and wanted Shania Twain, Garth, and Bryan White. Bob told ’em, “I don’t have ’em and if I did I wouldn’t play ’em ’cause they ain’t country.” My sentiments exactly. I don’t know how the music is classified, if there is such a thing. I have nothing against them, but don’t try to feed me broccoli, and tell me it’s turnip greens without fatback. There’s Ole George, “He Stopped Loving Her Today,” Bobby’s “Detroit City.” Who could forget Tammy’s “D-I-V-O-R-C-E” and Loretta’s,“Don’t Come Home A-Drinking With Loving On Your Mind?” Give me some Dave Dudley and Red Sovine Trucking songs or maybe Moe’s Rodeo songs. Ray Price can sing so pretty it’ll make a ‘coon’ dog hug a hound. Roy’s “Wabash Cannonball” and Jimmie Rodger’s Train Songs. Ole Hank would turn over in his grave, Roy Acuff’s yo-yo would fly apart and Minnie’s price tag would fall off if they heard this conglomeration on the Opry. Johnny in Black spent $23,000 for a billboard in Nashville letting folks know what he thought of the big shots that controlled the music industry. Very interesting! I know I left off some one’s favorite, but when you are blessed with so many great ones it’s easy to do. As the saying goes, “Save Your Confederate Money boys, ’cause the SOUTH and REAL Country Music is Gonna Rise again.” During the next election maybe we ought to vote in “DIXIE” for our National Anthem.

In fact, clear communications are essential to developing a successful estate plan. You should not only tell your family members — and anyone else affected by your estate plan — what you are thinking of doing but also inform them about the professionals with whom you are working and the locations in which you are storing any vital documents, such as your will. By identifying your goals, working with the appropriate professionals to create an effective estate plan, and communicating regularly with your family members and other “key players” in your life, you can go a long way toward leaving the legacy you desire. So, do what it takes to launch that legacy. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor. Steven Jones is an Edward Jones Financial Advisor in Atoka.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Spay/neuter your pets Do we care? We should. Whether a dog, cat, pup or kitten, each is a living animal and deserves just treatment. It’s often said some breeds get aggressive. What makes them so? Humans, of course. Spring has come and gone and not much done about spay/neuter from the looks of the animal shelter. Shame on you. It’s time to get with the program. That’s not said enough. Be responsible pet owners. A pet is a lifetime com-

mitment, so take care of it. When I visit the shelter I see so many surrendered animals due to ignorance of people. What are you thinking? Making other pay for being irresponsible. Wake up and take care of God’s creatures. Spay/ neuter is the only answer. Barbara Kesler Munford

PHELPS

Continued from A1 answered a call to sing at his funeral service Wednesday. “The impression Mr. Phelps made in my life was exactly the same that almost everyone that was under his tutelage had,” said Andy Posey, who graduated with Covington High School’s Class of 1974. “The things he taught us influenced us for the rest of our lives. I can never sing harmony with the Eagles riding down the highway without acknowledging that Mr. Phelps helped me do that.” Many of Phelps’ former students went on to pursue careers in music or music education and some have performed professionally. He served as president of the West Tennessee Vocal Association and was highly sought-after as a judge for music competitions. In addition to having influenced the community through the high school band and chorus, Phelps served as minister of music at First United Methodist Church Covington, where he was a member for 57 years, and led the men’s bible class for more than 50 years. Phelps, 86, died Sunday morning after battling a lengthy illness. Thirty-five former students showed up to sing during his visitation Tuesday and more were expected at his funeral Wednesday evening. Former student Ellen Shankle Clark, who studied under Phelps and worked with him at FUMC, said there was no doubt in her mind that his students would show up for him. “It was one of those things, I just knew they would come; there was never a question in my mind that they wouldn’t show up because of the love and the dedication he had,” she said through tears Wednesday. “He worked us hard, but because of all of that hard work, we always wanted to do our very best for him.” For Clark and Posey, Phelps’ legacy isn’t just about music. “He was a pillar of the community,” Clark said. “His arrow always pointed in the right direction. You know if you needed something, you could go to Mr. Phelps. He instilled in us so much pride and will to do the right thing, it just carries through to his family.” “To think he did this for generations of people and we all have such great affection for him is testimony to the place he has and will always will have in our hearts,” Posey, a Leader employee, added. “I don’t give this compliment out to just anyone, but Mr. Phelps was a great man.” Phelps leaves behind one daughter, Janet Phelps of Franklin; one son, Keith Phelps (Grace) of Covington; four grandchildren, Dustin Phelps (Allison) of Lakeland, Keller Medlin of San Francisco, Calif. Catherine Phelps of Covington, Meredith Medlin of Franklin, and two great-grandchildren, Georgianne and Molly Kate Phelps of Lakeland. Along with his parents, Carl Vernon and Ella Belle Russell Phelps, he was preceded in death by his wife of 59 years Clara Jane Phelps. The family requests memorials be directed to Covington First United Methodist Church, Music Fund, 145 W. Church St., Covington, TN 38019.

Teens jobs? As an injury lawyer, I see the tragic results of irresponsibility every day. Uninsured motorists cause mayhem and often pay nothing for their carelessness. People drive without driver’s licenses or due care. If you are like me, you have pretty much always been working since you were a youngster. At age 9, I started mowing yards and kept that up in my teen years. But my first job outside yard work was washing dishes at a Huddle House. Scraping food off stranger’s plates (along with cigarette butts back then) David Peel made me want to get an eduPeel Law Firm cation. I was 13. After that, I worked at jobs that varied from stocking at Lowe’s to shipping and receiving; from mechanic’s assistant to floral delivery driver; from sign painter to grocery store sacker. If your son or daughter is 14 or 15 and wants to work, they need only prove their age to their boss. They can use a passport, a birth certificate, a driver license permit, or any state issued identification. But, there are strict state and federal rules. During the school year, when the schools are in session, the laws allows no more than 3 hours per day and no more than 18 hours a week.

If the next day is a school day, children ages 14-15 may not work between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. During the summer, or times when school is out, they are limited to no more than 8 hours a day and no more than 40 hours per week. They can work no later than 9p.m. and even when the next day is not a school day they may not work before 6 a.m. There are no limitations on the number of hours that 16 and 17-year-old minors work, as long as it not during school hours; nor can they work past 10:00 p.m. on nights preceding school days (Sunday through Thursday nights), unless their parents or guardians sign a Parental Consent Form. The Parental Consent Form would allow them to work no later than 12:00 midnight three of those nights while school is in session. Tennessee law does not allow driving by minors as part of their job duties, unless a limited special exception is sought and granted. Breaks are mandatory for all minors (under age 18). Any minor scheduled to work 6 hours must have a thirty (30) minute rest or meal break without exceptions. One must be 18 or over to participate in hazardous occupations like mining, use of explosives or punch presses, logging, sawmilling, certain machines, meat packing, roofing, wrecking and demolition. . Mr. Peel seeks justice for those injured in car accidents, work place incidents, medical malpractice, and nursing homes. He often addresses churches, clubs and groups without charge.

COMMENTARY

The fields are ripe: John 4:36-45 “And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. For in this the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’ I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors. And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, ‘He told me all that I ever did’. So when the Samaritans had come to Him, they urged Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days. And many more believed because of His own word. Then they said to the woman, ‘Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world’. Now after the two days He departed from there and went to Galilee.For Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country. So when He came to Galilee, the Galileans received Him, having seen all the things He did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they also had gone to the feast.” Already he who reaps is receiving wages, and is gathering fruit for life eternal; that he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. Jesus spoke these words before the men from Sychar arrived. What is the great reward? Eternal life? Maybe, but I do think that when the sower and the reaper rejoice togeth-

been lifted to a standing of equality and acceptance because of Jesus. I believe that those who extended the hospitality of Sychar to Jesus also included this lonely and sinful woman, who had told them about the Messiah. And they said to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this One is indeed the Savior of the world.” This city of Sychar was not looking for a king to throw out the Romans, rather they accepted Jesus for who He truly is, not a political or military man, but the Redeemer that was come to give eternal life to man. After two days, Jesus left Samaria and went on to Galilee. Why did Jesus say that a prophet has no honor in his own country? If a prophet, as Jesus said, is without honor in his own country, he must earn it in another country. Jesus had done this in Jerusalem. In Samaria, Jesus brought honor to Himself and acceptance with the Samaritans. And because they had seen His miracles, the reception from Galilee was not from a spiritual viewpoint,but rather from what they had witnessed by His many miracles in Jerusalem. Even though Jesus was accepted on one hand, His acceptance did not exclude the hostile and unbelieving attitude that continued to exist against Jesus and His disciples.

What to expect for the 2014-2015 school year The new school year is upon us and it has most parents asking what changes to expect.

Controlled access has been implemented through the installation of a camera and ‘buzzin’ system at the front door entrance to each school. All visitors must show photo identification.” -Dr. Charlotte Fisher, director of operations Safe transportation “The school system has added new

buses to the fleet. Nine seventy-two passenger buses and one special education bus equipped with four wheelchair stations were purchased to meet the continuing needs for transporting all students safely.” -Dr. Charlotte Fisher, director of operations Student numbers “We expect TCS student enrollment to be 11,624 plus another 347 students who registered on ‘New Student Registration Day’ (July 22) for a grand predicted total of 11,971 students. These numbers represent an estimation until the first few weeks of school are underway and we are able to determine the number of students who have moved out of our system.”

-Dr. John Combs, director of instruction Additional points of interest •Predicted student enrollment for the 2014-15 school year was down, which equated to a reduction of seven teaching positions. Those positions were reduced through attrition. As a result of normal retirement/resignation trends, the school system hired 52 new teachers for a variety of vacant teacher positions throughout the county. •State tax collections were also down across Tennessee, which prompted Governor Haslam to remove his previous teacher salary increase from the 2014-15 budget. •The law has not changed regarding class size. Our classes will still meet the

required class size requirements at each grade level as we have in past years. •The school system is still utilizing the Tennessee standards in classrooms – the standards and the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are one in the same. The state board of education officially adopted the CCSS in July 2010, and in the last April legislative session, the decision to keep CCSS was upheld. •In April, the state legislature delayed the use of PARCC testing for at least the 2014-15 school year. The state department is sending out requests for proposals this year to determine what will be used for testing in 2015-16 and subsequent years. This year Tipton County Schools will once again utilize the TCAP assessment.

Tipton County and the Civil War By RUSSELL BAILEY Tipton County Historian Battle of Missionary Ridge Attack on the Confederate Center Nov. 25, 1863 Continued William Dillon of the 4th and 5th Tennessee infantry including Covingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tipton Rifles,â&#x20AC;? continues his narrative: In about another hour we were called back to our former position again on the side of the ridge (as a reserve skirmish force about 150 yards in rear of the 31st and 33d Tennessee). â&#x20AC;&#x153;The day was beautiful and from our position we had a fine view of the valley before us. We could see our line of skirmishers, which is all we had, on the ridge and the heavy columns of the enemy wee in plain view advancing against us in battle array in our immediate front, at least eight or 10 to one (odds). We were kept moving from right to left nearly all dayâ&#x20AC;Ś during all this time our artillery kept up an irregular fire upon the enemy (Federal cannon returned fire). We could see immense columns of the enemy moving

to their left and the firing on our right was the heaviest that was done this dayâ&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;About 3 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock p.m., the columns of the enemy advanced upon us. Just in our front was an old field about 600 yards in width to the woods and the enemy hadâ&#x20AC;Śto cross this field. We had one line of works on the level ground at the foot of the Ridge and just in the edge of this fieldâ&#x20AC;Śwhere our line of resistance should have been formedâ&#x20AC;Śbut we had only a very small line of skirmishers to oppose the heavy columns of the enemy (two Union brigades, Wm. L. Stoughtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1,500 men and Wm P. Carlin, advancing on the 31st and 33rd Tennessee regiments); then about one-third of the way up the ridge there was another imperfect line of works at which place the (300 men of the) 4th and 5th (Tennessee) was placedâ&#x20AC;Ś(These rifle pits stretched for one half a mile.) â&#x20AC;&#x153;On top of the ridge behind us was the balance of the brigade (19th and 24th Tennessee and a section of Stanfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s battery) placed. Thus three lines of skirmishers instead of one line of battle to resist the heavy and compact columns of the enemyâ&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;The enemy advanced to the charge of our positionâ&#x20AC;ŚOur lieutenant colonel (R. J. Lamb), a gallant officer brave even to rashness, ordered no man to fire

until the enemy were within 100 yards of us, when we poured such a heavy volley into their ranks that for a short time even the overwhelming force of the enemy were staggered and actually turned as if to flee when they were rallied by their officers and as if ashamed of faltering before our a line of skirmishers they again advanced to the charge. Our boys stood their ground and not a man left his position until the enemy were within 30 yards of us when our lieutenant colonel ordered a retreat.â&#x20AC;? (Dillon tried to gain the crest of Missionary Ridge but was captured by the Federals and later sent to prison.) In their attack on the 4th and 5th Tennessee, the 24th Wisconsin lost three color-bearers: the first was shot; the second was bayoneted in the rifle pits and the third decapitated by a shell. Then, 18-year-old Lt. Arthur MacArthur Jr. took the flag screaming â&#x20AC;&#x153;On Wisconsin.â&#x20AC;? Gen. Philip Sheridan saw this incident and told a soldier that Lieut. MacArthur just won a medal of honor (he did after the war). The men of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tipton Riflesâ&#x20AC;? could not have known it then, but this gallant Lt. MacArthur became the father of Gen. Douglas MacArthur. Continued next week

Almyra Libby Click Hi everyone. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a busy week, but many things were accomplished. My large television in the den went out last week. I suppose things happen in a series. I was without a computer for four weeks and then the television played out completely; it was getting a little old anyway and I ended up having to buy a new one. Now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m with the new generation with a flat screen. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay, but I loved my old television. My grandson, Luke Scott, and his girlfriend, Caroline Davis, came over to help me set up the programs. I appreciated that so much. They stayed for a short visit and it was so nice. They will both be going to Middle Tennessee State in a couple of weeks. He promised he will return home on some weekends. Mr. Bill went with me to pick out this new television at Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. It will still fit

into my bookcase, where the other sat. Luke told me these flat screens donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last as long as the older televisions did. I only turn it on each morning to see if we are in war yet. I do know one thing, this country is in the worst case ever. You young people and others need to get educated before you cast your first vote. Please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t depend on hearsay or go along with your friends. Get the facts! You will be proud you did. Salem Presbyterian Church Worship is at 11 a.m. Rev. Charles Todd is the minister. We extend our sympathy to the families of Miss Emily Moffatt Breen, who passed away on the 27th of July. Our prayers are with you. Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bible study will meet Thursday the 7th; circle #1 at 7 p.m. and Circle #2 @10 a.m. at the church.

All youth are invited to a swimming party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Rodney Waits this Saturday, the 9th, at 4 p.m.; any questions, please call Kim Gray. Adult choir practice will resume on Wednesday, Aug 13. Anybody who has reached his 15th birthday before Dec. 31st is welcome. Save the date: Brighton ARP is planning a combined youth night for all ages on Wednesday, Sept. 3, at 6 p.m. They will cook and provide hot dogs and hamburgers. Memorials can be sent to the youth fund and cemetery in memory of Francis Blackmon.

The womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ministry of Brighton ARP Church invites the Sharon women to attend the 82nd annual Mississippi Valley Presbyterial Union meeting on Saturday, Aug 23. Breakfast will be served at 9 a.m., with registration to follow at 9:30 a.m. The meeting begins at 10 a.m., with the memorial service and a speaker and followed by lunch. Please RSVP by Aug.15th. Happy birthday to Juanita Waits, on the 5th, and Patsy Fee on the 16th. In closing, my little Addie has begun softball practice already. I guess she will miss riding the three- wheeler every day all over the place. She and her brother Zack and their friend Peyton Ryan have probably ridden 1,000 miles this summer around our property. They are fun to watch. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe Addieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already in the third grade. Time gets away so fast!

Sharon Presbyterian Church Worship is at 9 a.m. Rev. Charles Todd is the minister. We welcome all members, visitors and friends.

Dunlap Retirement Center Kathy Keiter Hello everyone. I sure hope and pray youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all doing great; everyone out here at Dunlap is doing well too. Ms. Hazel is home from the hospital and seems to be doing well. She had a pacemaker put in about two weeks ago and now sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dancinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and doinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; the jig with all of us, ha ha! We do love our Ms. Hazel now; she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do any wrong in our book, ever. You go Ms. Hazel! Anyone who is 92 years old deserves to do whatever she wants to, amen! We want to say happy birthday to two of my staff this week; Teya Hartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday is tomorrow, the

8th, and then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Zen Burnett, whose birthday is next Wednesday, the 13th. Happy birthday, ladies, we hope your day is a great one! And we have no resident birthdays this month, so I guess that means no one is getting any older, right? Ha ha! Also, please be in prayer for one of my staff who was involved in a car accident last Wednesday on the way home. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all praying for you, Bev! I would like to remind all of you that we now hold a church service here on campus, with the name being the â&#x20AC;&#x153;New Generation Church.â&#x20AC;? Bro. Terry Hilliard is the pastor and the services

start at 10:30 every Sunday morning in the fellowship hall. They have been open three weeks now and are averaging about 30 people. Please come and join them in worship; Bro. Terry would love to see you! In September, we celebrate Grandparentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Day, and I have never done this before, but would just like to put this out there to the community- if any of you have a grandparent who was very special to you and has passed away or one that is, by the grace of God, still living, and you are very close to them and thankful for them, we have an offer-

ing called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grandparentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Day offeringâ&#x20AC;? that can be in honor or in memory of your loved ones to Dunlap Retirement Center. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to participate, please send your tax deductable donation to Dunlap, 1495 Dunlap Orphanage Rd. Brighton, TN 38011. You will receive a thank you from us and if your grandparent is still alive, please include their name and mailing address and I will send them a sweet acknowledgement that you wanted to honor them by donating to all the grandparents who live here at Dunlap Retirement Center. Like I said, I have never thrown

this out to the public before, but I thought it would be a sweet way to honor or be in memory of your loved grandparent; just a thought! Well as of today, by the time you get this Leader, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have sent your child for his/her first day of school, so letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all remember those little ones who are out there on the streets and may not be

paying any attention to traffic; please look twice before you pull out or go down a road/street and look for kids walking and/or biking to and from school. Have a blessed week everyone. God loves you and the Bible says nothing can snatch you from His hand if you have asked Him to be Lord of your life!

Covington High School band gets into the game By FRANCE GASQUET fgasquet@covingtonleader.com The Covington High School band is ready for the football time in Tipton County, according to band director Kreston Smith. During band camp, Smith reinforced the importance of students coming to the band room with respect for the entire process, from the music to the director to themselves. “We learned the basics: marching in time, understanding the techniques of stepping together. Our half-time is a Bruno Mars show, we’ll start with a

classic and then move on to the well-known Mars songs.” Smith said the camp came together really well, with the band learning 90 percent of drill and music during the two weeks. The changes Smith has made have not only been in camp. “I painted the storage room to help raise moral and to continue to ignite a change,” said Smith. “It’s important to inspire pride. I want these kids to know that the discipline they have today will carry on to their future life.”

“Music is a vehicle that can help a student get where they want to go. I want to teach these kids the importance of music through discipline.” All Covington High School band alumni are invited to participate in this year’s homecoming, on Friday, Oct. 11, including the flag corps. To participate, please contact Mr. Smith at Covington High School. Homecoming music is available for download and Tshirts will be available for purchase to wear during half-time. For more information, call Covington High School at 901-475-5850.

Hall of Fame accepting nominations Second HOF class will to be inducted later this year By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com

Richard Vandergrift and the staff at Covington Parks and Recreation came up with the idea for the Tipton County Sports Hall of Fame back in 2012. The first class – Tucker Ashford, Bob David, Harvey Hendrick, Johnnie Jones, Adrian Nathaniel and Joseph Earl Billings – was inducted last year. According to Vandergrift, nominations have been coming in regularly in the past few days for the class of 2014. Applications are being accepted through Sept. 1. “Reaction has been fantastic,” Vandergrift said. “I received a packet with six nominees enclosed and that came without us getting the word out.” He has also received nominations for special recognition of five teams dating back to the 1920s. “When I sent out a broadcast e-mail last week, I immediately received two requests for nomination forms,”

Vandergrift said. “I think that's a great start for this second year.” The 2013 class is currently displayed at the Covington Sportsplex and there are plans for a glass case to hold the display. There are also plans to include donated memorabilia. Jones, a standout football player at the University of Tennessee, has donated a signed football and a Tennessee uniform. Ashford, a former major league baseball player, has donated baseball cards from his various professional teams. Last year, the three members of the hall of fame's board of directors chose the winners from the nominations. This year, the class of 2013 members and the board will be involved in the selection process. To be named to the hall of fame, nominees must receive 75 percent of the vote.

Members of the class of 2013 Tipton County Sports Hall of Fame are, from left, Bob Davie, Earl Billings, Adrian Nathaniel, Tucker Ashford and Johnnie Jones. Courtesy photo

The 2014 class will be announced in late fall. Winners will be recognized at a gathering to be determined by the board of directors. “I can see this growing bigger each year,” Vandergrift said. “Some nominees that have already come in are people I had forgotten about,

but know once I’ve read through the forms. We are blessed here in Tipton County with some really great people who have excelled in sports and been great contributors back to society. I expect the selection process to be very competitive.” Nominees must be a native of Tipton County

Jamboree set for next Friday By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com For various reasons, all three Tipton County high school football teams have not been together for a jamboree in several years. Covington and Munford have been playing at Covington, while Brighton has been a couple of different places. That changes this year. Munford will host a jamboree Aug. 15 that will include all three county high schools, plus Haywood, St. Benedict and First Assembly Christian School. The plan is for the event to rotate between Munford, Covington and Brighton for the foreseeable future. “Hopefully, by doing this, we will have some added excitement for the fans,” said Munford athletic director Mike Huffman. The action begins at 6:30 p.m. with Covington taking on FACS. Brighton and St. Benedict follow at approximately 7:30. The final game between Munford and Haywood will start at about 8:30. Each game will consist of two 20-minute periods with a running clock. The clock will operate like it's a real game for the final two minutes of the second period. Each team has one timeout. Admission is $7. It will be the debut for new head coaches at Brighton (Robin Jacobs) and Munford (J.R. Kirby). Brighton opens the regular season at home Aug. 22 against Carver. Covington hosts Munford on the same day in the season opener for both teams. Fans are encouraged to arrive early at the jamboree because big crowds are expected. “We're excited,” Huffman said. “I think this a winwin for the entire county.”

EVENTS

Baptist-Tipton hosts two family wellness events By FRANCE GASQUET fgasquet@covingtonleader.com Two family-friendly events, which focus on the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health and wellness, will soon be hosted by Baptist Memorial Hospital-Tipton. Beginning Aug. 14, Baptist-Tipton, in conjunction with Munford Parks and Recreation, will begin â&#x20AC;&#x153;Get Fit,â&#x20AC;? a 10-week fitness and nutrition family-friendly program that focuses on children ages seven to 13. This is the second year for the nationally recognized program, which meets at the Munford Parks and Recreation Center on Thursday nights from 6-7 p.m. and from 10 a.m. until noon on Saturdays. May Medical will perform a medical assessment at the beginning, midway, and end of the 10 weeks to track each participantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progression. According to program coordinator Dana Flake, Thursday nights are classroom style, with lessons such as eating in moderation, healthy snacks and making treats. Parents work in the kitchen with UT Extensionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jacqueline Lemons, learning how to cook and plan healthy meals. After the lesson is learned, everyone samples the meal prepared for that night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parents find itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not expensive to learn to eat clean, in moderation and healthy,â&#x20AC;? said Flake. The Saturday classes are the physical component of the program, and this year students will participate in cross-fit, yoga, dance exercise and skating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People tend to think of these types of activities as fun instead of exercise,â&#x20AC;? said Flake. Flake hopes more children become involved in the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These children are the future leaders of our community. If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t step up and guide them today, where will we all be tomorrow?â&#x20AC;? asked Flake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you have a child in second grade with high blood pressure, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a problem. We need parents, grandparents, whoever, to take an interest and step up for a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health. Their future and our communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future depend on it.â&#x20AC;? The class is $20 per family, regardless of size, for the entire 10-week program. Camp Wellness will take place on Saturday, Aug. 23, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the north parking lot at Baptist Tipton. The first 300 children to attend will receive a backpack at this all-ages event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the first year that Baptist Tipton has held the back-to-school health fair,â&#x20AC;? said Baptist-Tipton CEO Samuel Lynd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to increase community awareness of healthy lifestyle choices, which helps put children on the path to a life long relationship with wellness.â&#x20AC;? Highlights of Camp Wellness include â&#x20AC;&#x153;Get Fit Antarctica,â&#x20AC;? a program where participants document walking the distance from Tipton County to Antarctica and then receive a postcard from Antarctica. Activities include face painting, free hot dogs and games for the

kids, as well as the touchdown of the Hospital Wing 10:30 a.m. Community education and demonstrations will be available as well, on numerous topics including immunizations, fitness programs, bullying, child abuse prevention, healthy snack ideas and cooking demonstrations.

Parking will be available at the hospital and at The Leader. For more information on Camp Wellness, contact Cyndi Roberts at Cyndi.Roberts@BMHCC.org. To register for Get Fit, contact Munford Parks and Recreation at 901-837-5965 or visit the website at www.munford.com.

Supplemental food available for those in need Health department offers assistance program Families and households in need of help with their monthly food excesses are reminded that a special nutrition program is available through the Tipton County Health Department.

The WIC program serves pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, infants and children to the age of five. WIC food pack-

ages offer a wide variety of nutritious foods to support growth and development. Income-eligible women and children may receive WIC benefits: â&#x20AC;˘ If they are pregnant, postpartum or breastfeeding; â&#x20AC;˘ If their children are under the age of five, and â&#x20AC;˘ If they are assessed to have a nutritional risk. In order to meet the income eligibility requirement, an applicantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s household income must fall at or below 185

percent of the Federal poverty guidelines. Additionally, a person who participates or has family members who participate in other federal benefit or temporary assistance for needy families automatically meets the income eligibility requirement. Monthly vouchers are issued to participants to buy WIC-approved foods. Nutrition information and suggestions on how to use the WIC foods are also made available. WIC foods include infant cereal; vegetables and fruit; iron-

fortified adult cereal; vitamin c rich fruit and vegetable juice; eggs; milk; cheese; peanut butter; dried and canned beans and peas; soy-based beverages; tofu; fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables; whole wheat bread and other wholegrain options.

THP introduces new driving simulator TENNESSEE --- The Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) today displayed the first of its kind teen driving simulator at the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Training Center. The THP took a semi-trailer and converted it into a mobile driving simulator for teens. The trailer is another tool that the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highway patrol will utilize in its â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drive to Zero Fatalitiesâ&#x20AC;? campaign. The THP was awarded a grant from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to construct the semi-trailer, which is called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teens Share the Road Trailerâ&#x20AC;?. State Troopers will place an emphasis on instructing teens on how to safely share the road with tractor trailers Teens can watch a 42â&#x20AC;? flat screen TV with sound bar on the outside of the trailer that will give them some insight about the simulator experience. The semi-trailer houses six individual virtual reality simulator stations equipped with steering wheels, brake

and gas pedals, along with television monitors that wrap around the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat to make the experience as realistic as possible. Teens will receive individual instruction from a state trooper on board via headphones so each experience is his/her own. Teens will be exposed to seven possible driving situations, specifically, distracted driving, stopping safely, reaction times, tractor trailers making wide right turns, the no zone areas of a tractor trailer, effects of cutting off a tractor trailer and the Move Over law. By request, state troopers will take the simulator across Tennessee and educate teen drivers at high schools, high school sporting events, civic centers, etc. The THP partnered with the FMCSA, the University of Tennessee, Tennessee Tech University, Semtech, Loyalty, Wrapartist and the Tennessee Trucking
