Suspects sought in home invasion By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com Detectives are searching for two men they say forced their way into an elderly man's home Thursday night. Deputies were dispatched to a home on the 2000 block of Hwy. 54 East at approximately 9 p.m. after George Ray Jr., 82, said two men first visited his home asking for work, then forced their way inside. Ray told police the two men left, but returned to his home. Once inside, he said they knocked him to the ground and one man held him there while the other searched his personal items. The two suspects reportedly stole several things, including guns. The men are believed to have escaped in a small red truck headed toward Haywood County, possibly driven by a third person. They are described as clean cut white men in their late 20s, one wearing a blue tee shirt and blue jeans. Ray was not injured during the incident. If anyone has information in this case, please call the Criminal Investigations Division at 901-475-3300, Central Dispatch after hours at 901-475-4300, phone in tips at 901-475-3307, email tips to Sheriff@tiptonco.com or Facebook Sheriff J.T.

WHO ARE THIS YEAR'S BEST OF THE BEST? WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON AUGUST 29.
Editor’s note: This week we are continuing a feature called Q&A. Through this feature we hope to help you get to know your neighbors, government officials and others in the community. Today we feature W.T. Bailey, the budget director for Tipton County. Q: When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up and why? A: Like most young boys, I wanted to be a major league baseball player. Ever since I can remember, I have played some sport whether that be baseball, basketball, or even soccer. However, baseball was definitely the sport that I loved the most. Q: What person had the biggest influence on you growing up and why? A: My hero would have to be my grandfather, Bobby Richardson. He is the hardest working man that I have ever known in my life, and God definitely broke the
mold when He made him. He has instilled in both me and my brother the importance of family, hard work and pride. Us three are very close and spend countless hours together hunting, fishing, working in hay fields, and even family dinner on Sunday evenings. Q: What do you like to do in your spare time? A: In my spare time I like to go to the lake on weekends, make the occasional trip over to Knoxville for a UT football game, play “old man” softball and basketball, watch pretty much any sporting event, and of course hunting and fishing. Q: What does W.T.
stand for? Is there a story behind why people call you by your initials? A: W.T. stands for Walter Thomas. I am named after my grandfather and great grandfather on my father’s side of the family. Both of them went by their initials. Due to dad being a twin, my grandparents elected to name their two boys Russell and Randall instead of carrying on the family name. However, the tradition was continued with me since I was the first grandchild born. Q: Your dad was the mayor of Covington for a long time. Any political aspirations in the future?

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com Charles Wolfe is happy he’s not on the receiving end of the disgusted stares anymore. “I have a lot less embarrassment now,” the 48-year-old said last week. “One of my friends even said my head looks smaller.” Three years ago, Wolfe weighed 740 pounds. At that weight, he couldn't walk his beloved wire haired Jack Russell terrier, Isaiah, or take his trash can to the curb. There was a time when he weighed so much he didn't think he'd make it much longer. But those days, thankfully, have passed. "I feel better, I'm healthier, and I'm getting even better. It's a blessing I'm still here." Back then, his days didn't consist of much activity. "Basically, I went outside, sat in my chair and went back inside. At my heaviest I dreaded getting out of my chair to go to the bathroom or something like that." Like many people struggling with obesity, Wolfe said his feelings

www.covingtonleader.com CENTENNIAL ISLAND
Arson ruled in island substation fire By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com The state fire marshal has determined the fire that destroyed a sheriff's office substation was set intentionally, Sheriff Pancho Chumley said Tuesday. On July 23, Chumley was notified the substation on Centennial Island had burned to the ground. Now deputies are searching for the person or persons responsible. "We take it serious," said Deputy Chief Donna Turner. "They burned down the substation and we're not going away." The structure is actually owned by Memphis businessman Swift Treadwell, a native of the island. Centennial Island is one of two islands belonging to Tipton County that are actually on the west side of the Mississippi River. It is said the islands were on the Tennessee side of the river before it changed its course in 1876. Logistically, it's difficult for Tipton County deputies to patrol the
island because of the two-hour trip to Memphis, across the river and then north through Mississippi County, Ark. Turner said it is because of the island's remote nature that criminals flock to it. "It's a perfect situation for thieves and people who conduct criminal behavior," she said. Years ago, TCSO wanted to increase its presence on the island to deter crime. On June 17, 2008, the substation was officially opened and gave deputies and investigators a place to conduct business while on the island. "It was important to us. We're inhibited, by its geographic location, from doing a lot of investigation over there for an extended period of time." Two years ago, the building was destroyed by river flooding. "Water was all the way up to the roof," Turner said. "It was reopened in November 2011." After the flood, with many other homes damaged, fewer residents returned and, in recent
months, criminal activity on the island has increased. "We've had an increase in thefts and the manufacturing of meth since April. We've really concentrated our efforts over there, so we don't know if this fire is in retaliation to that or related to Mr. Treadwell." Turner said fire reports indicate the fire was not started naturally, that accelerants were used in the blaze.
EVENT
Mother of murder victim organizes anti-violence event By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com A Covington mother has turned tragedy into triumph by organizing a fellowship event in her son’s memory. After Teresa Mason buried her second son in 12 years, she took to the streets and organized a march, calling for an end to the violence that often plagues the Frazier Park area. “This is pertaining to all of the violence that’s happened in Covington,” she said. “We’re trying to pull everyone in the community together, to be among each other and not have violence.” Mason’s third Stop the Violence march will take place on Saturday, Aug. 24, two years after her 20-yearold son Darius “Dee Dee” Heaston was gunned down in Frazier Park. Police arrested a man witnesses said shot Heaston, but the suspect was released. To date, not other arrest has been made in her son’s murder. Mason said she tries not to dwell on it and, instead, tries to work to do something
positive. “I’m trying to draw peace within this community,” she said. “I know one day justice will be served.” This year, she’s organizing more than a march through the neighborhood. “We’ll have different festivities in the park with food and refreshments. We want to turn it into a big event, to just come together for fellowship and without violence.” Mason said she hopes local churches and organizations will help make the event successful in promoting peace in a gang-ridden neighborhood. She also invites the public to participate. “It doesn’t matter your creed or color, we just want everyone to come together.” Anyone wishing to be involved with the event is asked to contact Mason at 901-338-5351. A candlelight vigil will be held in the park at 8 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 23. The march and its related festivities will take place on Saturday, Aug. 24 at 5 p.m.
Arrests made in car burglaries Covington PD charges juvenile with 22 counts of burglary, theft By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com Two people have been arrested in connection to a string of car burglaries in Covington, police announced. Over the summer, numerous items, such as Garmins and other valuables, have been stolen from unlocked ve-
hicles. Last week, 23-year-old Cornelius Johnson was charged with seven counts of burglary, six counts of theft under $500 and one count of theft over $500. A 17-year-old was charged with 11 counts of burglary, 10 counts of theft under $500 and one count of theft over $500. Additional arrests are pending. "We are suggesting that all citizens please lock their cars, turn off their GPS and secure valuables in the truck," said Asst. Chief Allen Wilson.

Continued from A2 "Do you know how crazy and embarrassing that was? That was one time I went to the (bariatric) doctor and didn't weigh 700 pounds, I was only 500-something then." On September 14, 2010, Wolfe traveled to Birmingham by ambulance – a courtesy transport by Rural Metro in Alabama's capitol city – to undergo gastric bypass surgery. It was the day his life changed for the better. "Aw man, it's like night and day." Wolfe is no longer a Type II diabetic, a disease often associated with obesity. He said he's lucky that he doesn't have heart or lung problems. His left knee bothers him every so often, but he's planning to get it checked out soon. Otherwise, he is working toward getting healthier and is enjoying

his new-found freedom. This summer he underwent more surgery that left him even lighter. On June 28, Wolfe traveled back to Birmingham where surgeons removed excess skin that is common in patients with extreme weight losses. It was another step in Wolfe’s journey to having a better life. Post-surgery, Wolfe’s weight is fluctuating between 320-330 pounds and he’s able to do things that many of us take for granted. “I can sit in a booth
now without moving the table,” he said. Additionally, he’s now able to get behind the wheel to drive and shop in a store. “One of the first things I did after my surgery was go to Tractor Supply and buy my favorite Liberty overalls. I like that I don’t have to shop from a catalog anymore.” Wolfe said one of his biggest regrets is that his mother didn’t live to see how much his life’s changed. “She was there through all of the ups and down. I wish she could be here to see how far I’ve come.” Though he’s grateful for looking better, Wolfe said he’s focusing on how much better he’s feeling now that he’s less than half of the man he used to be. “I wanted the surgery, I needed the surgery to better my health and better my life,” he said. “I’m concentrated on how I feel and what I can do.”
Anyone with information is asked to come forward, and there may even be a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the persons responsible. Tips can be phoned in

If I saw him again I’d tell him, ‘I just can’t believe you did that!’”

FLASHBACK
Vilsack announces support for rural businesses
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack on Wednesday announced that projects in 30 states and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico will be funded to support small and emerging rural businesses. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) remains focused on carrying out its mission, despite a time of significant budget uncertainty. Today’s announcement is one part of the Department’s efforts to strengthen the rural economy. Rural Business-Cooperative Service Administrator Lillian Salerno made the announcement on behalf of Secretary Vilsack during a visit to highlight the activities of the Memphis Bioworks Foundation, Inc., regarding an ongoing project that was previously announced. “The Obama Administration has been working to create economic opportunities in rural communities and bring well-paying jobs to the people who live there,” Salerno said. “Strategic investments in rural businesses like the ones we are highlighting today not only help to deliver more products and services to local customers, they also contribute to rural revitalization and economic development in the small towns where these businesses are located.” The funding was made available through the Rural Business Enterprise Grant (RBEG) program, which promotes development of small and emerging businesses in rural areas. RBEGs may also be used to help fund distance learning networks and employment-related adult education programs. Eligible applicants for the program include public bodies, nonprofit corporations and federally recognized Indian Tribes. Since the beginning of the Obama Administration, the RBEG program has helped create or save more than 73,000 rural jobs, provided over $170.9 million in economic development assistance, improved manufacturing capability, and expanded health care and educational facilities, and has either expanded or helped establish almost 41,070 rural businesses and community projects. Salerno visited the Memphis Bioworks Foundation to be briefed on progress of a $45,000 grant that is being used to expand the “Soldier to Civilian” (S2C) project. The S2C project was launched by the Crockett Policy Institute in rural west Tennessee to help veterans returning home find employment, and meet the need for qualified agriculture workers in the area. Memphis Bioworks has teamed with the Institute on the S2C project, and the grant will enable the program to be extended to 110 counties in the Delta areas of Arksansas, Mississippi and Tennessee. Today’s announcement includes a complete listing of the 131 recipients receiving more than $6.5 million in USDA funding. The funding is contingent upon the recipients meeting the terms of the grant agreement. The RBEG program finances a broad range of business projects. For example, last year, USDA provided an RBEG to furnish a conference facility at the new terminal for Kaolin Field Airport in Sandersville, Georgia. According to Administrator Salerno, today’s announcement is another reminder of the importance of USDA programs for rural America. A comprehensive new Food, Farm and Jobs Bill would further expand the rural economy – and she said that’s just one reason why Congress must get a comprehensive Food, Farm and Jobs Bill done as soon as possible. President Obama’s plan for rural America has brought about historic investment and resulted in stronger rural communities. Under the President’s leadership, these investments in housing, community facilities, businesses and infrastructure have empowered rural America to continue leading the way – strengthening America’s economy, small towns and rural communities. USDA’s investments in rural communities support the rural way of life that stands as the backbone of our American values. President Obama and Agriculture Secretary Vilsack are committed to a smarter use of Federal resources to foster sustainable economic prosperity and ensure the government is a strong partner for businesses, entrepreneurs and working families in rural communities. USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, has a portfolio of programs designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America.

Alexander speaks out on recess appointments The senior Republican on the U.S. Senate labor committee said today that the president’s withdrawal of two National Labor Relations Board nominees whose appointments have been ruled unconstitutional by multiple federal courts was “an important moment in the history of our ability as a country to maintain checks and balances and a certain separation of power among the various branches of government, and especially to restrain the executive.” Sen. Lamar Alexander (R. Tenn.) said, in a speech on the Senate floor: “The United States Senate is saying to not just this president but to any president, Republican or Democrat, that you may not abuse your constitutional right of recess appointments by making appointments when the Senate itself determines that it is not in recess. To do so is an affront to the separa-
tion of powers, and it undermines the checks and balances that were placed upon the executive at the beginning of our country as a way of preserving our liberties. That’s an important step in the history of constitutional law in this country, and I’m glad to see that it has been done in this way.” On Jan. 4, 2012, President Obama appointed Sharon Block and Richard Griffin to seats on the NLRB while the Senate was in session, even though he had just nominated them 20 days prior and they had not submitted paperwork required by the Senate. Republican senators filed a brief arguing that the appointments were unconstitutional. Three federal courts have ruled that the president had used his power to make recess appointments to the NLRB when the senate was not in recess. At a hearing of the Senate Health,
Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee in May, Alexander opposed the nominations of Block and Griffin to the National Labor Relations Board because “they continued to decide cases after the federal appellate court unanimously decided they were unconstitutionally appointed.” The president withdrew those nominations on July 16 and appointed Kent Hirozawa and Nancy Schiffer. The HELP committee voted 13-9 on July 24 to send them to the floor for consideration by the full Senate. Alexander voted against sending them to the floor. Today, Alexander said: “In May, I suggested that what the president should do is withdraw those two nominees and send us two new ones in the normal process, people who had not stayed on after the federal court had decided they were unconstitutionally there.

To answer these types of questions, it’s a good idea to review your overall progress at least once a year and then make whatever adjustments may be necessary. As you can see, it will take considerable effort to set, review and (hopefully) achieve your goals. And it can be somewhat complex, too, so you may want to work with a financial professional — someone who takes time to talk with you about your goals, understands your risk tolerance and family situation, and has the training and experience necessary to help you work toward your objectives. But in any case, think hard about your goals and how you might accomplish them. And don’t delay in taking action — because goals are generally easier to attain if you have time on your side.

ALEXANDER Continued from A4
These two unconstitutionally appointed nominees have decided more than 1,000 cases. Those cases are all subject to being vacated because there was no constitutional quorum. It leaves quite a mess in our labor laws. But the president withdrew those two and now we are this week doing what the Sen-
ate normally does—we are considering his new nominees through the normal process.” Alexander added: “I am voting against two of the nominees when the up-or-down vote comes, and I want to explain why. One is Mr. Hirozawa and one is Miss Schiffer. Both of them have excellent legal

Jim Ethridge
December 3, 1945 – July 27, 2013 Jim Ethridge, 67, a long-time resident of the Hopewell community, passed away on July 27, 2013 after a lengthy illness. Jim was preceded in death by his parents Bill and Etta Ethridge of Bridgeport, Texas. Jim is survived by his wife, Kay, and two sons, Scott of Munford and Randy of Brighton, two daughters-inlaws, Pam of Munford and Tina of Brighton, and four grandsons, Justin, Trever, and Hunter of Brighton and Evan of Johnson City and one granddaughter, Erin of Munford. Jim was a 25-year veteran of the United States Navy, retiring in 1988 at the rank of Master Chief Petty Officer. In retirement Jim owned and operated a family farm in Munford where he raised Black Angus beef cattle as well as registered stock. Jim was a member of Hopewell Methodist Church and a former president of the Tipton County Cattleman’s Association. Jim was a great husband and father and a mentor to many, a great neighbor, friend and role model. His favorite pastime was watching baby calves and marveling at their God-given instincts. He said he never felt closer to God than when he would sit and watch new baby calves stand up on wobbly knees and legs and walk right up to their mothers and begin nursing. He would watch, scratch his beard, then say, “How’d they know how to do that?” He’d smile and then watch the calves each and every one until they had nursed. Jim was a true cowboy with all the cowboy ways. He could be as gentle as a lamb or as fierce as a warrior. He had integrity and pride and expected nothing less from those he knew and loved. A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 1 at the Covington Funeral Home chapel with the family receiving friends one hour prior to the service. An online guest book is available at www. covingtonfuneralhome.com. The family requests that memorials be made to the Wounded Warrior Fund, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or the American Cancer Society. Dad, thank you for being the man you were and for teaching us to be the men we are. We will miss you every day until we meet again in heaven.

Tipton County and the Civil War By RUSSELL BAILEY Tipton County Historian In May 1863, the 51st and 52nd Tennessee Infantry Regiments were consolidated as one command under Colonel John Chester in Cheatham’s Division. Before they left Shelbyville, Tenn., rumors reached home that the Confederate forces were in short supply of food. Lt. James Fentress Dickson of Co. G. was going home to near Covington on furlough. Private Thomas Gladney McCalla asked his lieutenant to do him a favor: “Private McCalla dug around in his knapsack for some dough, cut out the biscuit with his bayonet and baked it. He then took it to his lieutenant. ‘I want you to take this biscuit to mother and show them we’re not starving,’ the young soldier said. The lieutenant put it in his pocket and en route home, stopped at Rosemark long enough to give it to the soldier’s mother. She cried a little, wrapped it in paper and carefully placed it on a shelf. It was still there when the young soldier came home two years later.” The biscuit was about three inches in di-

On July, 23, Miss Karter Hope Burford made her arrival at 8:55 p.m. at St. Francis Hospital. Weighing in at 7 lbs. Karter is the first child born to Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas (Kellee) Burford of Drummonds. She’s the granddaughter of Geraldine Woods and the great granddaughter of Flossie Woods. Master Aziah Damari Sherfield made his arrival July 25 at 5:28 p.m., weighing in at 6 lbs, 7 inches. The first child born to Mr. and Mrs. Anthron (Erica) Sherfield of Covington, his proud grandparents are Judy Sherfield and Annette Burton Lake, also of Covington. Congratulations to both happy families, and to you, young parents: teach your children well, or if not, they’ll be lost on the road of life.

Actually it’s my birthday on Sunday the 4th, Teya Hart’s on the 8th, and Zen Burnett’s on the 13th. Happy, happy birthday to all of us, ha, ha!

Dickson provided McCalla with a certificate authenticating the “war biscuit”: Covington, Tenn., Jan. 3, 1895 Mr. T. G. McCalla Dear old friend, Enclosed you will find certificate of old war biscuit which I assure you was a great pleasure for me to give you, as I feel a great interest in the history of the old biscuit.. The certificate of you and myself will be very important when we are gone. Well Thomas, we are going down the uncertain side of life. Our gray hairs and grown children tell the tale in these 30 years since the close of the war. By the grace of God may our last days be our happiest days. I assure you it makes my heart rejoice to read a letter from one of my comrades. They all feel very near to me. We ought to visit each other more than we do. The old year of 94 has passed away, with it, joys and sorrows. May God bless and prosper you in the New Year both temporal and spiritual is the prayer of your friend.

When Thomas died in 1905, the prized war biscuit became the property of his son W. R. McCalla, cashier of the Rosemark Bank and Trust Company. As late as 1929, Cashier McCalla kept the biscuit on his desk at the bank. During late May 1863 the soldiers of the 51st Tennessee were enjoying themselves thus: “The boys are having a good time fishing in Duck River. We make fish sanes (seines) out of wood; make them just like the panels of a fence then loop the ends together, making them long enough to reach across the stream (then) dredge it down the River (getting) to a shallow place then bring it to a circle, the two ends together. The boys get inside thee (and) then the sport comes catching the fish with their hands and then to the shore…I saw them catch twice? 300 or 400 nice fish.” On June 4, the 51st Tennessee moved to their fortifications three miles from Shelbyville. Tipton’s men in the 9th and 51st regiments camped that night beside each other.

to use his weed eater to cut the grass on the island. It is a pretty good job, but he got it done in a little while. Our apple trees in our back yard are full. We have two on our property and two more close by on the Williams'. It looks like we will have plenty of apples, and soon the cows that live on the other side will be coming over to eat some, that is if I pick them and put them over the fence. Please note, if you would like some Dusty Miller flowers, I have
lots and will share with anyone. Just stop by, and if we are not home, take some that are at our mail box. We also still have all sizes and colors of crepe myrtle trees. You can bring your shovel or wait until it rains and we’ll pull them up. We enjoyed preaching and also choir practice at last Sunday night’s church service. We’ve belonged at Elm Grove Methodist for five years and had never attended the Sunday night service. We enjoy going to the senior citizen center in
Munford. We eat lunch there every Monday through Friday and pay only $1 each. Reservations are requested to ensure the right amount of food. It sure beats cooking, and we have made some new friends. We usually go to the center early and walk five or six laps around the gym. It is a good place to walk, because the air conditioning is kept on a cold setting. It is later on in the evening, the gym is used for a skating rink. Love & prayers to one and all.
Jean holds the record of being the longest resident here at Dunlap. Happy birthday and congratulations, Ms. Jean! I better not say how old she is because she might not make me any more of those cute little crocheted boxes for my desk! Ha, ha! The residents have some entertainment today, we are looking forward to Mr. Tim Bentley playing guitar. Saturday, Ms. Cindy Clarke and her crew of The Encouragers will sing and encourage the residents to have some fun with them! We always look forward to their performance. Because Ms. Alberta moved back to Louisiana yesterday, there is a suite
available, consisting of two rooms and a full bath. Please let me know your interest as soon as possible because it may go fast! There is an independent living apartment available as well, which means the tenant is responsible for groceries, cooking, cleaning and everything. For more information, contact me at 476-7014. My notes are going to be short this week because it’s almost the deadline to get them in. So everyone have a great week and love on somebody, they may need it; you never know when someone needs a hug! Until next week, God bless!

Mt.Carmel- Clopton Elaine Watkins I'm back! I went to Florida with Justin, Elizabeth and Lyla. We were gone eight nights and got home back late Tuesday. James was glad to see me! I enjoyed spending over a week with Lyla - priceless! A big time was had by all. We ate too much, stayed in sun too long, rode too many miles and I can't wait till next year to do it all again! We lost two great women while I was gone, Doris Dunavant and Mary Culver. Both these families have been in my prayers in their loss. I loved both these women. This week's farm report: the corn is looking really good, the cotton is blooming and soybeans are getting “fat.” Looks like a good harvest, but prices stink. That's the way it goes! We had our annual ice cream supper at the Covington Church of Christ the night before we left for vacation, and I made minion cupcakes from newly-made (yay!) Twinkies. They were a big hit, and were gone before I even got to them! I will make them again soon! I hear I missed a big storm while we were
gone. Another tree is down in the Mt. Carmel Presbyterian Church yard across from us, as well as one on Terry Lane South. I was told it was hard to get to our house! We received over three inches of rain while I was gone! On our prayer list are Shirley Cook, Jenni Langston, Judy Randolph, Kristine Raley, John Henderson, Matt Sallee, Genie Renfroe, Raegyn O'Brien, Butch Lavendar, Zach Foust, Nancy Linsey, Sam Stitt and so many others, along with all our servicemen and women. Folks having birthdays the last couple of weeks were Beau Phillips, Shelley Halford, John Henderson, Evan Coats, Alex Fletcher, Jimmy McMahan, Bobbie Deen, Bill Gatlin, Jenni Langston and Reagan Combs. Anniversaries were celebrated by Justin and Elizabeth Harrell, Mike and Paula McLean, Evan and Michelle Nowak and Jeff and Jan Hanks. This week, happy Birthday goes to Ashley Hobson on July 28, to Lisa Johnson on the 29th, to Dustin Pinner, Ann Huggins and Linda Grant on
the 30th, to Kristin Sallee and Courtney Gurley on the 31st, to Paulette Graham and Dale Laxton on Aug. 2 and to Linda Gordon on the 3rd! Happy anniversary to Barry and Kristie Maxwell on Aug. 2! Whew! I’m finally caught up! This week's cat report: Minnie goes to the vet next week to get "fixed." And claws removed or trimmed, dewclaw removed for sure! "Thanks for reading" this week goes to Martha Goulder, who called James to check on me! Sa-lute! This week's Farmer's Almanac Quote: "Inspired by Colorado's splendor, Katherine Lee Bates wrote 'America the Beautiful' in 1893.” I read this in a magazine: “after the first summer flowers fall, a crepe myrtle will form clusters of round green seedpods. Promptly remove these clusters before the pods turn brown by cutting just below them on a branch. The crepe myrtle will respond by sending out a new crop of flowers for late summer and fall!” Who knew?!!! Until next week .

Nuclear fuel bill moving forward A bipartisan bill to break the gridlock and establish a comprehensive policy for safely disposing of spent nuclear fuel took a step forward recently in a hearing in the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. Energy and Natural Resources Committee Chairman Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Ranking Member Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and the leaders of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development, Senators Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., collaborated on the proposal. At the hearing, Wyden, Murkowski, Alexander and other senators underscored the urgency of finally adopting a lasting policy on nuclear waste – more than 30 years since the Nuclear Waste Policy Act became law. “Simply continuing to pass the burden of safely disposing of nuclear waste to future generations is not an option – whether it is at a shuttered nuclear power plant or in tanks along the Columbia River,” Wyden said. “Our goal with this legislation is to get the permanent repository program back on track and to make sure spent fuel and nuclear defense waste is handled safely until it is.”
“The legislation that we have put forward is an attempt to jump-start the government’s responsibilities on the back-end of the nuclear fuel cycle and achieve real progress. It sets an aggressive time frame to get a waste facility up and operating to assure stakeholders and the American taxpayer that the federal government is serious about meeting its obligations,” Murkowski said. “The federal government’s breach of contract has cost nearly $3 billion so far and is likely to grow upward of $20 billion if it fails to accept used fuel by 2020.” “The byproducts of nuclear energy represent some of the nation’s most hazardous materials, but for decades we have failed to find a solution for their safe storage and permanent disposal,” Feinstein said. The Nuclear Waste Administration Act would finally establish a comprehensive nuclear waste policy to address the highly radioactive waste being stored in communities across the country. This issue is too important for politics as usual, which is why I’m proud to join Senators Wyden, Alexander and Murkowski in introducing this bill.” “Our legislation makes local, state and federal governments equal partners in the process of
finding temporary and permanent storage for nuclear waste, which is critical since nuclear power provides 60 percent of our reliable, clean electricity,” Alexander said. “This idea of giving local governments a voice served Tennessee well when I was governor and I was trying to figure out where to build prisons. Now, instead of the federal government telling local and state governments where to locate nuclear waste facilities, we’re giving them a chance to compete for these facilities and the jobs that come with them – and breaking 25 years of stalemate in the process.” Currently fuel rods are stored on-site at dozens of commercial nuclear facilities around the country, including areas that are at risk of earthquakes, floods and other natural disasters. Millions of gallons of high-level radioactive waste from the nation’s nuclear weapons programs are also being stored at Department of Energy sites around the country. The bill implements the recommendations of the president’s Blue Ribbon Commission on America’s Nuclear Future. It establishes a new nuclear waste administration and creates a consentbased process for siting nuclear waste facilities.
It also enables the federal government to fulfill its commitment to managing commercial nuclear waste, limiting the costly government liability for failing to dispose of commercial spent fuel.

State announces meal guidelines The Tennessee Department of Education announced recently the 2013-14 United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) policy for free and reduced-price meals for children in Tennessee schools. The USDA school meals programs help ensure all students have access to nutritious meals. “It is important to give our children healthy and nutritious meals to set them up for success and improve their learning opportunities,” said Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman. “Research
indicates eating habits affect learning. We want to ensure all our children are well nourished and ready to learn.” FAQ’s about free and reduced price meals: Do I need to fill out an application for each of my children? No, you only need one application for all students in your household.
Who can get free meals? All children in households receiving benefits from SNAP or Families First can get free meals regardless of your income. Also, your children can get free meals if your household’s gross income is within the free limits on the Federal Income Eligibility Guidelines.
Can foster children get free meals? Yes, foster children who are under the legal responsibility of a foster care agency or court, are eligible for free meals. Any foster child in the household is eligible for free meals regardless of income. For more info, log on to news.tn.gov/node/11128.

COMMENTARY
God's word is powerful
By EMILY PEYTON COOK Special to The Leader
M
y love for God of the Word and the Word of God inspires so much of my life. God giving me an elevated view of scripture drives the mission - from sharing the things God teaches me through my quiet time on my blog and Facebook, to the ministry we have to children on the square and the ministry to women God has provided. This weekend, “Jesus StoryTime” will take place at Court Square Park in Covington at 10 a.m. We will share songs and Bible accounts with the children as well as have a pizza party afterwards. This will be a fun event for our community, but more importantly, an opportunity to share God’s love with the next generation. We hope you will come out and join us or invite a friend or neighbor It’s never too early to teach a child the Bible. A baby can see you smile as you speak the name of God and realize that He is love. A toddler can learn through scripture that God hears us when we pray, God cares for people and gives us rules to help us know what to do. A small child can be taught who God is and that His word is true. Through this ministry, our hope is that children would be excited about all God has done and parents would be
The Cook Family
encouraged to continue to share with their children throughout the week by talking about what they have learned and even reading their own Bibles to their children. We pray that His Name and His Word would be elevated in homes in and around Tipton County. On Sept. 2, the last semester of our two-year journey through the Bible as a community of women begins. We hope we will have new women to join us as we finish up the prophets and begin the New Testament. There is much to learn and lives and families have been eternally changed through this study through the Chronological Bible. We will begin meeting for twelve weeks on Tuesday nights, starting Sept. 2 at 6:30 at Covington Assembly’s gym. Free childcare is provided and women from all denominations and seasons of life are encouraged to attend. This morning I read about King Josiah’s response to the discovery of God’s Word in the temple. “Then the king called together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
He went up to the temple of the LORD with the men of Judah, the people of Jerusalem, the priests and the prophets--all the people from the least to the greatest. He read in their hearing all the words of the Book of the Covenant, which had been found in the temple of the LORD. The king stood by the pillar and renewed the covenant in the presence of the LORD—to follow the LORD and keep His commands, regulations and decrees with all his heart and all his soul, thus confirming the words of the covenant written in this book. Then all the people pledged themselves to the covenant.” 2 Kings 23:1-3 As King Josiah elevated the Word of God, God used His powerful Word to pierce hearts and the people repented and pledged themselves to the covenant of the LORD. They still faced the consequences of their actions, but their hearts were now turned to the LORD. May our hearts be set on fire by the Word of the LORD and overflow to all those we come in contact with. May the wisdom that comes from the fear of the LORD come out of our mouths and may hearts be turned back to Him through the reading and studying of His word. God’s word is a gift to be read, studied, and shared. It gives light and life to those living in darkness and hopelessness.

B
said to me, “I am opposed to a Coke machine being in the gym because I can point out all kinds of litigation possibilities.” Lest you think this writer has only a bad view of dogs, let me say that there are also wonderful encouraging people in the church. Such as: 1. Labradors. They are so happy to see new members, encouraging old members and helping the needy. They don’t have a pack they run with; rather they go out of their way to give a friendly word, hug, or ear to those in God’s church. Every church could use more Labradors. 2.Beagles. Bless the Lord for beagles for several reasons. They are so cute. They always seem to have the joy of the Lord on their face. But they aren’t just happy in Christ, they are loyal, considerate and a blessing. 3.Old English Sheep dogs. This dog can be counted on to stay close to their master and at his command round up the flock to bring them to shelter. In order for a church to survive it must have those who will go into the community and round up souls for Jesus. God bless the church which has a fellowship of those who are loving, working, and serving together – instead of growling and back-biting each other. Not only should you “Beware of the Dogs,” you should also “Beware you don’t join them.”

Mason’s group fares well at event Over 20,000 martial artists descended on Little Rock, Ak., last month for the largest martial arts tournament in the world. Several students from Mason’s Martial Arts in Covington competed in an attempt to become world ranked in their divisions. Jere Mason, Mason’s Martial Arts owner, finished third in sparring, which now ranks him third in the world in his division. Alex Mason, Jere’s oldest son, finished fourth in the world in both sparring and combat weapon sparring. Shannon Dye, first degree black belt, finished third in the world in his division in sparring. Skylar Dye, Sarah Dye, and Austin Dye all finished fourth in their respective divisions. Danyale Smith of Covington finished second in the world in combat weapons sparring. All the competitors will now be training to maintain their world rankings in the effort to become world champion at the 2014 World Championships. On July 20, the High Octane Fighting Championships held its 30th event in its nine-year history at Crestview Middle School in Covington. The event featured mixed martial arts fighters from the local area as well as Arkansas and Mississippi. The event drew a crowd of nearly 500 spectators to the Covington area and featured 13 matches: Match 1: Aubrey Berryman (Team Sacrifice) of Munford won a submission wrestling match over Zack Parker (Team High Octane) of Ripley.

Locals perform well at shooting event The Tennessee Scholastic Clay Target Program has returned from the SCTP National Championships with 13 titles for 2013 and two local athletes fared well. A program of the Tennessee Wildlife Federation, TNSCTP has become one of the most decorated scholastic shooting organizations in the country. Three Tennessee teams and 10 individuals won first-place titles, with dozens of others finishing between second and fourth. "These athletes train relentlessly all year to compete on such a high level, and that hard work paid off," said Andrew Peercy, TWF's statewide TNSCTP program manager. "They're shooting for a chance to earn a college scholarship, or perhaps a spot on an Olympic development
team. There are some real opportunities to leverage these talents on a national or even international stage." Individually, 10 Tennessee shooters won national skeet championships, including Carah-Beth Maddux of Haywood County in the varsity female division. In trap, traditionally the most competitive discipline, six state athletes earned first-place trophies, including Shelby Simmons of Tipton County, varsity female;
