Water rates on the rise in Munford State mandate required utility hike

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com

If an ordinance passes on a second reading next month, residents of Munford will see their water and sewer rates increase.

According to an analysis conducted by city officials, bills will be between 27 and 30 percent higher.

For example, a person whose monthly water and sewer bill is currently $17.29 (1,891 gallons of usage) would be $22.53 under the new fee structure.

A $34.22 (12,510 gallons) bill would become $43.63.

The Munford Board of Mayor and Aldermen, which passed the bill in first reading Monday night, will hold a public hearing on the ordinance April 28 at 7 p.m. The ordinance will be voted on later that night during the board meeting.

If the ordinance passes, residents will see the increased fees on their July bill.

The city received a letter

from state officials last year mandating that fees increase because of “negative change in net assets for two consecutive years.�

Mayor Dwayne Cole said Munford's current water rates are ninth lowest in Tennessee and sewer rates rank in the bottom third when compared to other cities in the state.

Munford last increased water rates in 2004 and sewer rates have not changed since 1989.

“We now are under mandate to increase our rates to rectify this situation,� Cole said. “We spent a lot of time running various (fee) models. This will take us into the future. How far I can't tell you.�

Crazy about ‘Patsy Cline’

By SHERRI ONORATI Special to The Leader There will never be another Patsy Cline.

And although many have tried, none has quite mastered the emotion and vibrancy needed to truly sing Patsy Cline’s classic tunes, such as "Walking After Midnight," "I Fall to Pieces," "Blue Moon of Kentucky" and her signature piece, "Crazy," with the passion that she embodied.

That is until now.

The Historic Ruffin Theater opened "A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline" last weekend, the second play of its 2014 season, to the delight of hundreds of Patsy Cline fans.

Cline’s talent and legacy is fueled partly by her untimely death at the tender age of 30 in a plane crash on March 5, 1963 at Camden, Tenn.

The 90-minute production pays tribute to the country music legend and showcases her career at various junctions in her life, including her time at WINC Radio, Carnegie Hall, Las Vegas and the Grand Ole’ Opry.

"A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline," written by Dean Regan and endorsed by the Patsy Cline Estate, is a musical treat and chronicles the life story of Cline, whose short but remarkable career is one well worth celebrating.

The play, using local talent, is directed by veteran Ruffin Theater director

Kay Bridgewater, with assistance from Jeanie Nelson, and produced by another of the Ruffin’s veteran directors, Lorraine Birchfield. A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline is sponsored by ADL - Athletic Driven Labs, whose generous donation made the production possible.

Brighton actress/singer Amber McCain brings to the stage a powerful performance in the lead role and delivers a stunning rendition of Cline, matching the seductively rich tones of the heartfelt lyrics that made Cline famous.

McCain says she has been a Patsy Cline fan all of her life and although this is her first time on the Ruffin stage, she has performed at several Patsy Cline sing-a-like contests.

The extent of McCain’s experience on stage was a secret kept from her monthly Bunco group, that is, until her performance Sunday afternoon. “We didn’t know she could sing,� said Barbara Howell of Bartlett, a member of McCain’s Bunco group. “She was amazing and she kept all of her fame a secret!� she added, laughing. “This has been an absolutely incredible experience to play Patsy Cline,� McCain said. “Patsy Cline is my idol and I’ve always looked up to her ever since my grandmother introduced me to her.�

Regan’s script gives us a glimpse

McCain is pictured with daughter Kaitlyn before Saturday's show. Courtesy photo

of Cline’s life with the help of WINC radio D.J. Little Big Man, played by Covington native Hunter Short. Short delivers an excellent performance as the D.J. and Covington lawyer Frank Deslauriers and Tim Eddy erupt the crowd into laughter as the comics who introduce Cline before her shows. Tiffany Conner, Toni Cross and Deanna Emmons are the commercial jingle singers who remind theater-goers of the live action that used to be radio.

Do you know that some high school students believe that 90 percent of their peers have tried or regularly use marijuana?

That’s what the Anti-Drug Coalition of Tipton County is learning during discussions with children in the Tipton County Schools system.

Since its inception in 2011, ACT has worked to create awareness of drug use in Tipton County. “What’s scary is so many kids think marijuana isn’t a big deal,� said Robin Racine, coordinator of ACT. “'Since it’s natural, it must not be bad for you,’ is what they’ll say. However, we know otherwise.� “The perception is higher with kids who use then with children who don’t,� said president of the coalition, Scottie Delashmit, referring to the reported statistic.

Racine, Delashmit and the members of the coalition have discussed not only the current ramifications of marijuana use, but what will happen if it becomes legal. “Just imagine all of the driving under the influence that could take place. We need to be prepared.�

The coalition, comprised of individuals, government bodies and organizations, meets the third Thursday of every month at the justice center and the members are “working the plan,� according to Racine.

The plan Racine refers to is a multi-pronged approach to address and increase awareness of underage drinking, tobacco use and prescription drug abuse.

Underage drinking, tobacco use • Underage drinking can begin as young as nine or ten years old, according to Racine. A billboard detailing this information was developed and displayed on Highway 51 for several months this summer. • New billboards target binge drinking and steps are being taken to educate the coalition’s front line of defense: convenience store clerks. • To help assess alcohol, drug and tobacco use among minors, the coalition has begun distributing vendor packs throughout Tipton County.

with JAY PHILLIPS

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

A: I have always wanted to work in football. My first memory is being with my dad at a high school football game. I just remember feeling I was born to be somewhere in sports.

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

A: I would have to say that my parents have had the biggest influence on me. The Phillips adopted me when I was very young. Their home was the only foster home I ever lived in. Their love and encouragement gave me the desire to work hard and to not be satisfied with anything but my best.

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

A: Spare time? I don’t know what that is. I spend the majority of my time providing sports medicine

outreach services to students in Tipton and Lauderdale counties.

I work closely with the school, principals, athletics directors, coaches, parents and physicians at Memphis Orthopaedic Group.

When I do have down time, I am with my family. There is nothing more important to me than my time with them.

Q: Tell us what all your job entails.

A: I work with coaches to assess injured athletes and aid in the facilitation and coordination of getting the injured athletes the medical care and rehabilitation they need should an injury occur.

I provide weekly injury reports to coaches, so they are aware of who is able to play and who is out of the game. I work primarily with Dr. Kevin E. Coates (an MOG physician) to provide these services to the student-athletes of this area. Along with Dr. Coates, I conduct presentations to students and athletes about

proper injury prevention, proper care of injuries, proper hydration, and most importantly proper nutrition. I also work with the area HOSA programs instructing students interested in learning about sports medicine. I have worked specifically with two students that were able to go to the West Tennessee regional competition at Union University this past winter. I am very proud to say that they came in third and fourth, respectively. I know, not first or second ... It will happen. I am actively involved in the creation, promotion and planning of a health expo MOG is coordinating for Tipton and Lauderdale counties. Memphis Orthopaedic Group and myself feel it is important to give back to the schools and community and this event is the perfect way to do this. Memphis Orthopaedic Group will host the first annual Health and Injury Prevention Expo on Saturday, May 10, from

FLASHBACK

GOP hopes Obamacare alternative will help U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) has outlined a new plan that would offer a conservative solution to the problem-riddled, much delayed Affordable Care Act, known in general terms as Obamacare.

Each anniversary of the bill’s passage brings yet another reason for Republicans to criticize it, and we’ve just hit the four-year mark. That said, the Republicans hardly have to look far to find reasons to rally against it.

With polls showing it’s still wildly unpopular as another Congressional mid-term election approaches, President Barack Obama’s administration enacts delay after delay in implementing it after his Pinnochio-winning performance when he repeatedly told us, “If you like your health care, you can keep it. If you like your doctor, you can keep him.”

Pinnichios, of course, are awarded by the Washington Post’s fact-checking wing in recognition of the wooden boy from literature whose nose grew with every mistruth. More Pinnochios means a bigger tale and four is the maximum.

This statement, repeated over and over by the president, was also dubbed the “Lie of the Year.”

Obama and the Democrats are trying to position the Republicans as a do-nothing group that only serves to oppose the Democrats. Grand Ole Party opposition drew their ire so much that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) had the Senate repeal a rule saying a filibuster could be ended by a simple majority essentially terminating the 200-year-old tactic when it was employed against judicial nominees and executive branch nominees. The vote to change the filibuster rule went 52-48 along party lines.

Now, Alexander and the Republicans are taking aim at the Democrats with a new proposal for health care, seeking to shore up the claims that all they seek to do is to obstruct.

According to a press release last week issued by the Alexander camp, “Look back at the health care debate as the president rammed his bill through Congress four years ago and you’ll discover something: Republicans were right. We said the president would never be able to keep his promise that Americans could keep their plans under Obamacare. We said his bill would raise individual premiums. We said patients would have fewer choices in providers. We were right about all of it.

“Republicans had better ideas then about going step by step with reforms to increase competition, increase choice, put patients back in charge, and reduce the cost of health care so that more people could afford it. And as the president issues endless delays and repeals of his own law, we’re showing Americans that Republicans have better solutions today to fix the mess Obamacare has created.”

Alexander’s press release went on to outline nine steps the GOP would take to fix health care after repealing Obamacare: 1. Make Medicare solvent so seniors can depend on it to be there for them and their grandchildren.

2. Give governors more flexibility with their state Medicaid programs so they can lower costs, improve health outcomes and have more money for other programs like education and roads.

3. Strengthen innovative workplace wellness programs that empower employees with more incentives to make healthy lifestyle choices.

4. Let small businesses pool their resources and offer lower cost insurance plans for their employees.

5. Provide families the opportunity to purchase insurance across state lines, creating greater competition between insurance companies and lowering premiums for everyone.

6. Expand access to health savings accounts and catastrophic health insurance plans, giving people more affordable insurance options that fit their lifestyles.

7. Incentivize the growth of private health insurance exchanges to give consumers expanded health insurance choices and allow them to keep insurance between jobs.

8. Make it easier for patients to compare prices and quality of doctors and medical services.

9. Incentivize states to reform junk lawsuits that drive up health care costs for everyone and are driving medical professionals out of their profession.The question remaining is will America listen. There’s no doubt that Obamacare has been plagued with problems ranging from truth in advertising, to the website rollout to truth in SEE OBAMACARE, PAGE A5

OBAMACARE

Continued from A4 reporting. (They say five million people are signed up but will not say how many of those have actually paid after the Congressional Budget Office said seven million people was the number needed to make it work.)

We’re not keen on another attempt to repeal Obamacare until after this year’s election; the reality is that a repeal doesn’t have the votes to pass and will only serve to give fuel to the Democrats who claim obstructionism. But if the Republicans can convince America that they have something better than the politically toxic Affordable Care Act to fix America’s health care system – which was broken long before Obamacare – then they may just be able to get the votes they need to repeal it after the November election.

Continued from A4 ment, offer re-training opportunities to the recently unemployed, and help participants with limited education or low literacy levels achieve milestones that move them closer to economic independence. USDA has made employment for SNAP participants a high priority and has begun working with stakeholders to determine how the SNAP E&T program can be made more effective and efficient. This grant opportunity is part of the Department’s continuing focus on helping SNAP participants gain meaningful employment.

In addition, the new Farm Bill will strengthen the SNAP Employment and Training program, providing funding for up to 10 three-year pilot projects that help workers find gainful employ-

ment, increased earned income, and reduced reliance on public assistance. Pilot projects will target those with low skills, urban and rural communities, opportunities for quick employment, and both mandatory and voluntary E&T programs. The Food and Nutrition Service will release more information about these projects in the near future.

State agencies or private nonprofit groups such as community-based or faith-based organizations, food banks and other emergency feeding organizations are eligible to apply for the grants.

Grant applications are due May 2014. Awards will be announced in September 2014. The Request for Applications is available on www.grants.gov.

haven’t changed, neither should your “transportation method” of reaching them. In other words, don’t abandon your long-term strategy in favor of quick fixes, such as chasing after “hot” stocks that may not be suitable for your needs.

• Maintain perspective on your “flight path.” When you’ve flown, you’ve probably observed (perhaps with some envy) some of your fellow passengers sleeping through periods of turbulence. In the investment world, these types of people are the ideal long-term investors — they know that turbulence, in the form of market fluctuations, is normal, because they’ve experienced it many times before.

Their perspective isn’t on shortterm events, such as volatility, but rather on the voyage toward their “final destination” — i.e., the achievement of their long-term goals.

So when you fly, fasten your seatbelt and relax. And when you invest, don’t overreact to shortterm events.

By following these basic guidelines, you will be a calmer traveler and a better investor.

OBAMACARE

Continued from A4 reporting. (They say five million people are signed up but will not say how many of those have actually paid after the Congressional Budget Office said seven million people was the number needed to make it work.)

We’re not keen on another attempt to repeal Obamacare until after this year’s election; the reality is that a repeal doesn’t have the votes to pass and will only serve to give fuel to the Democrats who claim obstructionism. But if the Republicans can convince America that they have something better than the politically toxic Affordable Care Act to fix America’s health care system – which was broken long before Obamacare – then they may just be able to get the votes they need to repeal it after the November election.

The solution touted by Alexander and the Republicans may be the right start, but it won’t matter if the media doesn’t report it or if the people don’t listen to it.

Patricia E. Ward-Clemons

October 15, 1948 – March 20, 2014 Patricia E. Ward-Clemons, age 65, of Atoka passed away on the first day of Spring, Thursday, March 20, 204 at the Baptist East Memorial Hospital in Memphis after a valiant 10-month battle with lung cancer.

Momma Pat, as she was known to her Girl Scout friends, was born Oct. 15, 1948 to the late Jackson and Elizabeth Braun Henderson of Detroit, Mich. She was a restaurant entrepreneur who loved cooking. She worked in, managed and owned restaurants all her adult life.

She was employed by Motion Picture Laboratory in Memphis in the mid-1970s as a customer service representative and was assistant to the sales manager.

She also worked at the Western CineMotion Picture Lab in Denver, Colo. in the late 1970s through the mid-198’s. In early 1990s, Pat was the proud owner of the Winner’s Circle Restaurant in Frayser. She most recently worked at the Helmsman Club at the Naval Station in Millington and at A-Z Recycling in Covington. In 2001, Pat became involved in the Girl Scouts as “Just-a-Mom” in her daughter Sammy’s troop and never looked back. Over the next 13 years, she served as an assistant troop leader, troop leader, Tipton County Service Unit Recruiter, service unit manager and Tipton County Cookie and Fall Products Manager. She planned, coordinated and led several weekend Kamporees that served the girls from Tipton County and many from the Memphis Metro area.

At all of the Kamporees Momma Pat was the Queen of the Kitchen and always made sure that “her girls” got plenty of good, hot food prepared and served with lots of love. Her passion was that the girls of all ages had fun, interesting and educational activities in which to participate. She loved finding new and different things for the older girls to do to keep their interest in Girl Scouts.

Momma Pat is survived by her daughter Samantha Clemons of Burlison; brother Don Olson (Rita) of Munford and sisters Donna Lang of Warren, Mich., Kim Ridge (Tom) of Clinton Township, Mich., and Dawn Ovstedal of Emmett, Mich.

Money won’t bring her back Wrongful Death Law in Tennessee governs the recovery of money damages when a loved one is killed due to negligence, such a car crash, accidental firearms discharge or an ATV accident.

I understand why people say that money won’t bring back a loved one. However, money does allow the heirs the freedom to deal with their loss in the ways that seem best to them. If that means having the largest gravestone in the cemetery, fine. If that means a trip to Europe, okay.

If that means taking a year off without working, okay.

David Peel I have had clients set aside a scholarship, honoring the Peel Law Firm name of the decedent.

Death in accidents sometimes occurs immediately. But, most often, some medical care is tried to save the victim. Many times, days pass in ICU. Thus, the family is often left with mountains of medical bills.

For example, a recent airlift from Tipton County to the Med was over $16,000. These medical bills from the injury prior to death are recoverable by the heirs. Of course, reasonable funeral bills are also recoverable. If wages were missed between the injury and the death later on, those can be sought.

What Tennessee calls the “pecuniary value of life” is often the most valuable part of any award, verdict or set-

tlement. Roughly, it contains the idea of actually valuing a life, which is exceedingly hard to do.

So how do we value a life in Tennessee? The most obvious number is the loss of income for the life that was taken away. Even a regular worker, making $25,000 a year for an expected 40 years will earn a million dollars!

However, it is important to understand that no one will award that number without some additional figuring.

As we all know, we do not keep all we earn. Much is spent paying for living. This amount, called “personal maintenance,” must be deducted to get that value. But we also know that life is more than money. What about companionship? The loss involves the permanent (earthly) end to loving and supportive relationships in the family.

Let’s say a sleeping truck driver hits a young nurse walking on the sidewalk. Further, assume she lived 21 days in ICU before succumbing to her injuries. If she was married, her surviving husband may file a wrongful death lawsuit against the trucking company and driver.

The recovery should include the medical and funeral bills, and the 3 weeks of lost nursing income. Her future earnings (minus the costs of “personal maintenance” would also be recovered. Finally, the husband would seek the hard-to-value amount of the “loss of the consortium” (marital companionship) of his deceased wife. If they had kids, he can sue in Tennessee on behalf of the children for their loss of a mother in the future years.

Money will not bring back a victim. But it can bring a measure of justice to the family and often provide some peace through financial freedom.

Teen minister to be ordained

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com

Free Delivery!

On Sunday, March 30, Markesha Teamer will be ordained a minister at Praise Temple in Ripley.

Unlike most candidates for ordination, there's something special about Markesha: she's only 13.

She said she remembers praying to God and said she felt her calling early.

"She was called at the age of 10," her father, Pastor John Teamer, said.

"God has placed an awesome anointing on her life. There's more to Markesha than meets the eye."

A student at Brighton Middle School, Markesha has a passion for sports. She plays soccer, basketball and runs track. Her parents – her mother is Lois Teamer – say she loves God and preaching His word, too.

Once ordained, Markesha will be able to lead others her age, she said.

"I feel really good about this," she said.

The ordination will take place at 2:30 p.m. The church is located at 126 Randolph Street.

Do we really respect the Bible?

By RICK HUFFMAN Gilt Edge Church of Christ Mrs. Jones stops at the neighborhood grocery store and asks her oldest daughter, ten year old Jane, to go into the store to get a loaf of whole wheat bread. She gives Jane a twenty dollar bill. In the car are Jane’s siblings, six year old Dick and baby sister, nine month old Mary, asleep in the car seat.

Fifteen minutes later, Jane returns with two sacks full of numerous items including white bread and hands her mother sixty-seven cents in change. Mrs. Jones is upset. “Didn’t I tell you to get whole wheat bread? And why did you get all these other things?” asks Mrs. Jones. Jane responds, “I did get bread and bread is bread. I knew we were running low on sugar is why I got that. Baby Mary loves banana baby food so I got that for her. You love peppermint patties so I got those for you, Mom. Besides you did not tell me I could not get these other things.” Mrs. Jones says, “Now I won’t have lunch money for school for you and Dick. Did Mrs. Jones have a right to be upset? Was Jane obedient to her mother’s instructions?

There are basically two ways people view the Bible today. The first group says if the Bible does not say I cannot do something, then it means I can. The second group says if the Bible does not say I can, then I cannot. Lev. 10:1 And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not. 2 And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD. Nadab and Abihu used fire that had not been commanded.

For there to have been fire that was not commanded, there must have been a fire that was commanded.

So what was their sin? The sin is they used a fire that God had not authorized. God had told them exactly what fire to use. They used something different, an unauthorized (strange) fire. They may have reasoned that fire is fire just as Jane reasoned bread is bread. For substituting something they thought was just as good, God sent fire from Heaven and consumed them.

He was so angry with their disobedience that He warned Aaron and the others not even to mourn (vs.

6) lest they die also.

Another Biblical example is Moses. On one occasion when the Israelites had no water, the Lord had commanded him to strike the rock with his rod and water would come from the rock.(Exodus 17:6) On a second occasion at a different location when the Israelites again

had no water, Moses was told to speak to the rock and water would flow from the rock. (Numbers 20:1-13) Moses went out to the rock but instead of speaking to the rock as God had said, Moses said, “Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?” and then struck the rock twice and the water came out abundantly.

God immediately made known his displeasure to Moses. Numbers 20: 12 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them. As punishment, both Moses and Aaron died for disobeying the Lord before entering into the Promised Land. (Deut.

32:51-52) What can we learn from this?

1) When God (the Bible) tells us what to do, we are to do exactly that. Jane should have got whole wheat bread and only whole wheat bread. Nadab and Abihu should have used the fire they were authorized or commanded to use.

Moses should have spoken to the rock and not changed God’s command. Striking the rock before did not make it permissible the second time. What God accepted before may not please God now.

2) God does not have to tell us what not to do when He has told us what to do. Mrs. Jones did not need to make a list of every item in the store for Jane not to get when she told Jane specifically what to get. God did not have to tell them what fire not to use when he told them what fire to use. Moses did not have to be told not to strike the rock if God specifically told him to speak to the rock. 3) The silence of the scripture is not permission to do something but a prohibition against it. Jane took not being told not to buy something as liberty to buy it. Her actions not only displeased her mother but were detrimental to her mother and family. Her intentions no matter how noble actually did harm. Nadab and Abihu may have had good intentions, but as one preacher so aptly put it, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions”. God told Moses that because you struck the rock and did not consider my command to speak to the rock as a prohibition against striking it, you “believed me not” and you did not sanctify me before the people.

Are we doing what Nadab and Abihu and Moses did?

How about regarding the Lord’s Supper (breaking of bread)? Acts 20:7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech

until midnight. I Co 16:1-2 also identifies the first day of the week as the day they took up a collection. Every week has a first day, Sunday. Therefore to meet this command we must partake of the Lord’s Supper on each first day of the week. More often is too often.

Less often is not often enough.

Any other day of the week, even if it is Christmas or a wedding day, is simply not authorized.

What about instrumental music in worship? The Bible says simply to sing. Col. 3: 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. I do not think it is any accident that on the heels of God’s command to sing is the admonition to do all in the name of (by the authority of) the Lord. All commentators and Bible scholars agree that only acapella music was practiced in the early church. Pope Vitalion is credited with introducing into worship the first instrument, an organ, in 670 AD. Most Reformers, if not all, disdained the use of an instrument in the worship service. Today, their use is “defended” with many arguments. It does not say we cannot use them. Confer Nadab and Abihu above. In the Old Testament, David and others used them. Confer Moses above who struck the rock because that is what God told him to do previously. The old law was nailed to the cross. We cannot use it to authorize how we worship today. (Eph.32:14-16, Col. 2:14, Gal. 3:10, James 2:10) I like it, it sounds better and what harm can it be are other arguments. The bottom line is we must respect the silence of the scripture and not use the silence of the scripture as a license to do anything we want to do and then justify our practice by saying it is not specifically condemned in the Bible. When God tells us what to do, anything and everything else is excluded. We cannot add to nor take away from God’s word. Rev 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. Do we really respect the Bible or are we a law unto ourselves?

Ritter Communications negotiating with Viacom Ritter Communications is in negotiations with Viacom, owner of MTV Networks, to continue offering its channels, but believes the current proposal from Viacom would have costly repercussions for the company’s customers.

While Ritter is restricted from talking about specific rates, Viacom has demanded a rate increase that is 40 times the rate of inflation*.

For example, imagine pulling up to the gas pump and finding that gas has gone from $3.50 a gallon to $6 – overnight. That is the scale of some of these large increases. In addition, Viacom may demand Ritter drop its networks until the two companies are able to reach an agreement.

Ritter customers who want to learn more about this situation can visit www.

TVOnMySide.com to become educated and informed on rising programming costs.

“Across the country, networks are substantially increasing their fees to cable companies, which affect customers directly, “ said David Adams, chief operating officer. “We want our customers to know that fees from these networks account for the bulk of monthly cable bills.”

Viacom owns networks carried in West Tennessee that include BET, Comedy Central, CMT, MTV, Nickelodeon, Spike TV, TV Land, VH1 Music First, CMT Pure Country, MTV Digital

Suites, MTV Hits, MTV Jams, MTV2, Nick Jr., Nickelodeon Toons, TeenNick, Tr3s, VH1 Classic, VH1 Soul, Nick Too, Comedy Central HD, CMT HD, MTV HD, Nickelodeon HD, Spike TV HD and VH1 Music First HD. “Today's entertainment marketplace is changing rapidly, and we have seen consolidation among major media companies,” said Adams. “These mergers allow large programming companies significant leverage over independent cable companies like Ritter.”

The company pays programmers such as Viacom a fee per channel, per month, per customer for its programming. When these contracts conclude, Ritter’s negotiates new agreements and

that completes the business transaction.

“Unfortunately, when a multibillion dollar company such as Viacom demands an unprecedented increase in its monthly fees, we believe it’s our responsibility to take a stand,” said Adams. “These large increases impact all of us throughout northeast Arkansas and we want to make sure our customers know we are working on their behalf.”

Ritter urges customers to get the facts and be informed by visiting TVOnMySide.com. * Source: 12-month period from January 2013 to January 2014, Bureau of Labor Statistics, released Feb. 20, 2014.

Rudd to fight on ESPN Friday night

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Covington professional boxer Chris Rudd has been trying to make a name for himself on the national stage for a couple of years now.

Friday night he will get a great opportunity to further his career when he appears on ESPN in a lightweight bout against Russia's Petr Petrova (33-42, 15 knockouts).

Rudd defeated Yakubu Amiou of South Africa in the quarterfinals of a tournament called “Boxcino.”

Friday's telecast, which will include other fights, begins at 8 p.m.

The bouts is being held in New Town, N.D. Rudd (13-1, nine knockouts) is a former member of

the Covington Boxing Club and is coached by Jimmy Glover, who still runs the youth boxing club here.

“We have worked really hard to make sure Chris is ready for this fight,” Glover said.

The winner of this fight will meet the winner of Miguel Gonzalez-Fernando Cardcamo for the 2014 Boxcino title.

In other local boxing news, the Covington Boxing Club will compete in the West Tennessee Golden Gloves Tournament in Jackson this weekend.

There will be 11 boxers from Covington in the event.

Locals Anthony Campbell and Davian Rudd will

compete in the open division.

“Both these guys have a good chance of winning,” Glover said.

Octavius Suggs, Tyronza Boyd, Jonathan Kindred, Latonio Grandberry, Jonathan Farman, Arious Jackson, Montavious Grandberry, Tyrell Williams and Nick Gooden are other locals who will compete.

“These guys have worked really hard to prepare,” Glover said.

The open novice and junior class winners advanced to Little Rock for the MidSouth Golden Gloves.

Open class winners move on to the national Golden Gloves championships.

Members of the Munford High School football team were in the football stadium Thursday night showing off their new weight equipment, meeting with the community and raising money for the program.

The lift-a-thon raised almost $9,000 for the program and was attended by about 200 members of the community.

“It was a great event,” said Munford head coach J.R. Kirby, who was hired Jan. 9. “It was an opportunity for the community to come out see how hard these kids have been working.”

Leading up to the event, players received flat donations from members of the community and also took pledges that were tied to how much weight they lifted.

Brand new bar bells and weights were set up on the track as the players waged friendly competitions against one another.

A revamped weight room was also opened up for people to check out.

“I just want to thank everybody who supported us in this,” said Kirby. “I wanted everybody to see the direction the program is heading and get a chance to meet me if they haven't already.”

Scott homer leads MHS past BHS

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Munford and Brighton met Thursday in Brighton for an early-season District 13-AAA softball showdown and the game, like most involving the county rivals, went right down to the wire.

The Lady Cougars got a tworun homer from Sam Scott in the fourth inning to move ahead 2-1 and that's the way the game ended.

Scott, who also earned the win in the circle by striking out 12 and limiting Brighton to five hits over seven innings, said this was game she had been looking forward to.

“Winning this game means a lot,” said Scott. “District wins are

always important, but I was really looking forward to this one.”

Brighton got a single from Ali Christmas in the bottom of the fourth inning, but the Lady Cardinals were unable to bring her home.

In the sixth Brighton got a runner to second base with two outs, but Scott stranded her there with a strikeout.

Anna McIntyre hit a hard ground ball in the bottom of the seventh with one out, but Munford second baseman Maddison Welch made a diving play on the ball and threw her out at first.

Scott recorded her 12th strikeout of the final out.

“Sam was pumped,” Munford head coach Glenn Goulder said.

“When she's pumped, she plays pretty hard. And that was a great

play by Welch. That really picked us up.”

In the top of the fourth, Jodie Duncan singled before Scott hit a line drive of the fence in rightcenter to give her team the lead.

Raygan Huffman singled home Brighton's run in the first inning.

Seeley Layne pitched all seven innings for Brighton. She struck out three and allowed six hits.

Sam Berryhill had a pair of hits for Brighton.

Brighton head coach Robin Jacobs said he was pretty happy with the way his team performed.

“The last time we were on this field with them we lost 8-2,” Jacobs said. “We played good. It was a typical Munford-Brighton game. I thought Seeley pitched well. They had one big hit.”

Lady Chargers take out Haywood, fall to Dyersburg

By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com The Lady Chargers softball team (3-6, 2-0) split a pair of games last week, falling at Dyersburg 8-5 on Tuesday before beating Haywood 14-5 on Thursday.

Hannah Clifton took the loss to the Lady Trojans. She went the distance, allowing eight runs (only three earned) on nine hits and a walk. Malia Johnson paced the CHS offense, going 2 for 2 with a double. Clifton helped her own cause with two doubles and three RBIs. Against Haywood, eight Covington players combined for nine hits. Top hitters were Neely Glenn (2 for 2 with a triple, a run scored and a steal) and Natiasha Kent (one homer, two runs and two RBIs).

Treasury Poindexter made use of her speed, recording four steals, a hit, two walks and two runs.

The JV remained unbeaten at 3-0, dropping Dyersburg 7-3 and Haywood 16-0.

Against Dyersburg, Raygen Escue was 2 for 2 with an RBI and Kaylan Young tripled and drove in three. Anna Adkinson and Kent each tripled.

Against Haywood, Maddie Lane (2 for 2), Heavenly Myers (2 for 2 with two doubles and four RBIs), Abbey Beasley (two runs runs and two RBIs) and Bailee Moss (one hit) provided the offense.

There have been a few athletes from Tipton County high schools over the years who have signed Division 1 athletic scholarships over the years.

But Munford senior Erik Furseth, who inked a soccer scholarship with the University of Memphis last Thursday, is believed to be the first person from the county to sign a D-1 soccer scholarship.

“I don't know of any others,” Munford coach Kyle Selby said.

Furseth, who has been Munford's starting goalkeeper since he was a freshman, saved 90 percent of the 819 shots he faced from 2011 to 2013.

“First off, Erik is a hard worker,” Selby said. “You see kids all the time telling you they're the best, he'll show you he's the best.”

Furseth has been an important piece of Munford's emergence from a program that was mediocre at best five SEE FURSETH, PAGE B2

put it away.

Spoon came on in the seventh for the

save. He walked two and had the tying run on third before a game ending ground ball to Carlton.

Ethan Whitley and Steven Cook provided the winning run. Whitley doubled to lead of the sixth and Cook followed with a ringing double in right center to plate him.

After a trip to Florida this week, the Chargers return home Saturday for a 3 p.m. tilt with Rockbridge (Mo.). Jackson Central-Merry visits for a district doubleheader beginning at 4 p.m. on Monday.

Continued from B1 years ago to one that regularly competes for district titles.

He started all but two games during his first three years on the team.

“One thing I haven't had to worry about is keeper,”

Selby said.

When Furseth sat down for a signing photo Thursday, he got his teammates to stand with him.

“It wasn't just me,” Furseth said. “If it wasn't for my team, I wouldn't be here.”

Tipton County and the Civil War

By RUSSELL BAILEY Tipton County Historian

Tiptonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cavalry soldiers: battle at Wyatt, Miss. Oct. 13, 1863, part IV Fortunately for the southerners, there were no Federal reserves to capture the Wyatt Bridge. Confederate officers rallied their commands and occupied their former positions.

A historian for the National Park Service wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Col. Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12th Tennessee, eager to redeem itself, charged a two-roomed log house to its front, occupied by sharpshooters of the 7th Kansas cavalry. The northerners were dislodged, and Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grim Tennesseans held the building despite the Kansansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; efforts to overwhelm them.

While Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s men clung to the structure, a 12-pounder shell ripped into the outhouse, where nine men were posted, and burst without injuring a man.â&#x20AC;?

Capt. Amos Hodgman and 40 men of the 7th Kansas bravely charged the log structure held by Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s men; only 10 survived the withering fire and only four escaped.

Hodgman was wounded and later died.

Col. Gilbert Moyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brigade arrived after Green had regained his former position. Hatch had the 6th West Tennessee Union cavalry and the 3d Michigan form on the right of Phillipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; brigade. The 9th Illinois and eight moun-

Mt. Carmel-Clopton

I just have to put it together now!

Bobbie Deen is home from rehab and staying with her daughter. Ruby Hopper will have surgery tomorrow. Jack Conner is having health problems, as are Dianne Phillips (Jeff's mother), Keith McCalla, Steve Walk, Lillie Mae Glass, Dr. Travis Bolton and Bobby Williams. They are in our prayers, along with so many more, and all servicemen and women.

There is a senior adult rally at Henderson on March 29. Sunday, March 30, is a fifth Sunday and there is one worship service at 10 a.m., with Sunday School at 9 a.m. April 6 will have the same hours, as it is communication Sunday. There is a 5:30 p.m. service both Sundays. Following evening service on the 6th, there will be a potluck and wild game supper!

Happy birthday to Tonya Hill on March 24; Mandy Billings, Shanna McLean and Rachel McLean Cox on March 25; Drew Laxton and Larry Whaley II on the 26th; Mary Jean Stockton on the 27th; Chase Kidd and Marc Rimmer on the 28th and Jaden Daniels on the 29th!

Happy anniversary to Larry and Carolyn Whaley on March 27!

Elaine Watkins It was a very windy weekend. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m tired of wind, but March is more than half gone. It will be a cold spring break week this week, even in the 20s a couple of nights!

Shelley Dickey and I visited with my dad, Kenneth "Pop" Weir, last Tuesday, after I got a call that he'd fallen in the shower. I wanted to make sure he was okay and he was. But, bless his heart, he believes he lives in Kentucky now and when he asked me how long it took us to come see him, I told him three hours. He was satisfied with that answer. He is fine, physically, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad he didn't break anything in his fall. We got his glasses fixed while in Jackson, ate lunch and had a nice day. The day became even better when Elizabeth and Lyla dropped in unexpectedly for a good visit when I got home. The three of us ate lunch and ran errands around town Thursday.

I vacuumed, swept and washed throw rugs and James got rid of the corn stalks in our field this weekend. And I got myself a new wagon on sale at the farm supply store;

Almyra Libby Click Hi everyone.

Here in Almyra all is well.

I see and hear tractors moving everywhere; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing, as is the beautiful sunshine; thank you Lord.

The NCAA basketball game between the University of Memphis and Virginia left us with a sigh when Virginia won the game 78 to 60. Coach Josh Pastnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interview on TV was kind of sad. I miss Mrs. Louise Vandergrift as she always used to call me and say, "Did you see this or that play?" She loved basketball.

Dear friends are gone but never forgotten.

Speaking of games, as I mentioned last week, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got grandchildren playing everywhere. Bill and I drove to Dyersburg Sunday morning to see my little Addie play in a softball tournament. Unfortunately, they lost that one. But, those little

girls played four consecutive games the day before.

I personally donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see playing seven-and eight-yearolds that hard at one time.

Sunday morning, their spirits were shot and I can see why they had no energy.

Oh well, they will be ready for the next one. Addie did, however, make a homerun.

Way to go, girl! She was so tired, she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even want a piece of Dove chocolate.

Salem Presbyterian Church Worship is at 11 a.m. Rev. Charles Todd is the minister. Joint youth service will be held this Sunday night at 5:30 p.m. for middle and high school.

Young marrieds will next meet April 27. April flower committee is Mary Alice McDaniel, Dawn McDaniel, Ann Erwin, Linda Moody and Caroline McDaniel.

tain howitzers took position on the College Hill road opposite the three cannon of the Confederates. Federal artillery fire was now concentrated on the village of Wyatt and the pontoon bridge.

Mississippi and Missouri cavalry made several charges to capture the Union batteries and did compel them to withdraw.

The 7th Tennessee cavalry, including Tiptonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s men in Co. I, were little engaged in this action and crossed the river at dark.

Rainfall and darkness slowed the fighting to long-range firing. Richardsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s men had all but exhausted their ammunition. By 9 p.m., most of his rebel cavalry had withdrawn to the south side of the Tallahatchie, marching in the mud to their encampments and horses.

Following an 11 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock council of war among his officers, Richardson ordered his wagons and artillery to move at midnight toward Okolona on the Mobile and Ohio railroad, where they could be re-supplied with ammunition.

His troopers would follow two hours later.

Gen. James R. Chalmers caught up with the main Rebel column at daybreak. Countermanding Richardsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s orders, he directed the cavalry to ride back and occupy the fortifications on the south side of the Tallahatchie at Wyatt and dispute any Federal attempts to cross.

mounted at midnight, fell in behind the 12th Tennessee and moved in the direction of Oxford. After proceeding four miles, they were met by Gen. Chalmers, who ordered them to return to Wyatt. These men remained until late that afternoon, unmolested by the Federals.

Col. Edward Hatch had no desire to attack. Being 45 miles from his base and low of ammunition himself, he ordered his columns northward. Hatch, Phillips and Moyers had failed to capture or destroy the raiding rebel cavalry. In the two days fight, Hatch reported a loss of 60 men killed and wounded, capturing in the process 55 prisoners, 200 arms and two wagons of ammunition. A soldier of the 9th Illinois cavalry wrote that 15 Confederates were left dead on the field.

Richardson reported his losses at nine killed and 30 wounded in the engagements at Byhalia and Wyatt. At Wyatt, his 12th Tennessee, under Col. John U. Green, suffered two killed and four slightly wounded. Several from Tipton County in the 12th Tennessee were casualties: Henry Futhy Jr. (Co. C), killed; John D. Thompson (Co. C), wounded; John Robinson (Co. H) captured (Robinson was sent to Alton, Ill. prison where he died Feb. 10, 1864); Capt. J. Slaught Caruthers (Co.H), prisoner of war; John Nero Faulk (Co. H), prisoner of war; and G. F. Sink(Co. H), prisoner of war.

Ladybugs They are all over our home. We sweep up a pile every day or so. I decided to look up ladybugs in the book.

A ladybug is a small beetle with round body shaped like half a pea. It is often bright red or yellow, with black, red or yellow spots. Ladybugs feed chiefly on plant life and scale insects.

For this reason, fruit growers find ladybugs helpful. During the early 1900s, plant life almost destroyed the fruit crop of California, and ladybugs were brought in to destroy the plant lice and save the crop. There are two kinds of ladybugs that harm beans melons, squashes and other garden plants, but the work of the beneficial kinds far out weighs the damage done by the few harmful ones.
