Beware the ice of March

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonelader.com March certainly came in like a lion as Tipton County became crippled by 3-5 inches of ice that fell on Sunday.

Treacherous road conditions following Winter Storm Titan this weekend prompted many closures, among those a two-day closure of The Leader that affected the paper's publication date.

By Thursday, many secondaries and backroads began thawing, but were still a mess of slush and ice.

Schools, government offices and many local businesses have remained closed this week while crews continue their work clearing roadways to make them safer for travel.

"We're trying to blade down some of the ice so it's easier for roads to thaw," said Tipton County Public Works Director Shannon Reed. "We're focusing on the major thoroughfares and trying to make it easier for emergency vehicles, then we'll concentrate on our secondaries."

Reed said the impact is widespread, making many areas more difficult for county vehicles to travel to clear trees and debris blocking roads.

"It was easier to get to the trees in the ice storm a few weeks ago, but getting equipment to the trees is harder this time. Taking a dump truck down these roads is hazardous, so we have to drive the equipment there in other vehicles instead of hauling it. We just don't want to risk our employees or our equipment, which makes it a longer response time."

Schools remained closed Thursday, however many government offices reopened Wednesday despite the unsafe road conditions.

Power outages Sunday and Monday were minimal in comparison to the tens of thousands without power during the last storm three weeks ago.

In addition to downed trees and sloppy roads, which make travel unsafe for school buses, county executive Jeff Huffman said the storm has had its greatest effect on the education system and paying deputies and public works employees overtime.

FLASHBACK

Life can change in an instant

You know, I’m never sure of what I’m going to write for my columns. If you were to ask me two days before, I’d shake my head and tell you I have no idea. It’s more or less the mood that hits me or something that’s going on in my life, that’s personal, but not too personal, if you know what I mean.

Someone I knew via Facebook, but didn’t know in real life, died this week. He was a friend of some of my closest friends, and he sent me a friend request about a year ago. I can count on one hand the people I am “friends” with on social media who I don’t know personally. I just don’t do that. But he seemed nice and I always looked forward to his posts. Strange how that happens, how someone you’re friends with in everyday life, but you don’t really follow, and then there are others who you may have lost contact with, or in this case, became friends with, with whom you feel a bond.

SOUTHERN FRANCE Facebook is a strange thing FRANCE GASQUET and I’ve yet to make up my mind if I like it or not, but I’ll save those musings for a different day.

Last week, my friend wrote about his faith, and reflected on the last 10 years of his life. Ten years ago, he was in the process of getting a divorce and he had two young children. He’d lost his job and with no money, he had to move in with his parents. He was a musician, working with church ministries, but for some reason, he couldn’t make a go of it. His faith faltered.

He struggled with that question we all have at some point - the “who I am?” - and then dug down deep inside. He’d always loved photography, so he started taking pictures for friends’ weddings.

Fast forward to last week, almost10 years later, he was now a highly sought after photographer in the Nashville area, noted as one of the best of the best. Engaged to a woman he loved deeply, and extremely active in his church, he now led the song ministry. He had an amazing relationship with his kids and even his ex-wife, taking her out to celebrate her remission from cancer.

Where once he had been lost, he was now where he was supposed to be. He wrote last week about how looking back at the dark, made him even more grateful for the light.

He died Sunday of a heart attack, two days before a trip to Hawaii to shoot a wedding. He was 42. He was right where he wanted to be, had worked to be, and he knew it. He thanked God for it and then ... he was gone.

I don’t know why his passing bothers me so much. I mean, I didn’t even know the man. But, there was something about his story that I related to. The falling down and the getting back up. The recognition that what you once expected to be is maybe not who you are supposed to be. That bad things happen to good people, bad things happen to every one of us. It’s how we stumble and then get up. I loved that he was able to look back on the last 10 years with a greater sense of peace and understanding.

As I relate this to my life I wondered what would happen if I were to die tomorrow. I would hope I have the same attitude towards my life. Honestly, SEE LIFE, PAGE A5

policies, the law is needed because the result of the president’s memorandum is a patchwork of inconsistent approaches that reflects an inconstant commitment to scientific integrity.

The scientific integrity provision attempts to address some of the inadequacies of the plans highlighted by many, including the Union of Concerned Scientists. It builds on the administration’s initiative by calling on each federal agency to develop guidelines regarding scientific information.

It clarifies that scientific information should be supported by peer review when appropriate; ensures that scientific studies used in making decisions be disclosed to the public; and requires an opportunity for stakeholder input.

It is also important to say what the scientific integrity provision does not do. It is not a radical change. It is not a roadblock to regulation — it simply

assures that all agencies have the best policies possible. It will not require a change in the type of studies that government agencies rely upon — but it will put a premium on studies that can be replicated. Nor does it force judges to adjudicate scientific issues — it just assures that agencies follow their own written procedures.

The provision is needed now for two interrelated reasons. Continuing the administration’s efforts to stress scientific integrity comes at a time when public trust in government is at an alltime low. Simultaneously, we are at a time when scientific research is critical in so many areas, such as safeguarding our food system.

Not all scientific research is made equal, and we agree that all federal departments and agencies should have well-developed scientific integrity poli-

reduction could affect you if you ever become a widow, because once you reach your own “full” retirement age (which will likely be 66 or 67), you may qualify for survivor benefits of 100% of what your deceased spouse had been receiving — and if that amount was reduced, that’s what you’ll get.

Talk to your spouse about this issue well before it’s time to receive Social Security. (You may also want to talk to a financial advisor for help in coordinating survivor benefits with your own Social Security retirement benefits.)

• Evaluate your need for life insurance benefits. Once their children are grown, some couples drop their life insurance. Yet, the death benefit from a life insurance policy can go a long way toward helping ensure your financial security.

Again, talk to your spouse about whether to maintain life insurance, and for how much.

International Women’s Day is a great occasion for commemorating women’s accomplishments.

Spoiled kids’ suit spoiled by judge When you were in high school, I bet you had a serious run in with your parents.

There may have been yelling. Maybe you even stormed out and threatened to leave for good. I seriously doubt you took it to the level that one Rachel Canning, age 18, did. She filed an actual lawsuit against her parents suing them David Peel for financial support!

Peel Law Firm She says her parents kicked her out and she is broke. She is demanding the court award her last semester’s tuition at her private Catholic high school, as well as her current living support, attorney’s fees and even her future college tuition. The high school senior has also alleged abuse, but an investigation revealed nothing.

Her parents say she was truant, ignored curfew and hung out with a boy they for-

bid her to see.

They say they gave her a choice: their way on the highway. She chose the real world because she did not like the rules and curfews. I guess she has now realized that money is not a fruit found on her local trees.

Court filings she filed read like a whining, spoiled brat: “They stopped paying my high school tuition to punish the school and me, and have redirected my college fund indicating their refusal to afford me an education…”

In what universe is college their obligation? It may be nice, but it is not legally required.

Oddly, this lawsuit is reportedly financed by another set of parents.

No word on whether they are going to finance her college, or just this ridiculous lawsuit. What do you think?

Mr. Peel may be reached through PeelLawFirm.com wherein other articles may be accessed.

Foster parents needed in Covington For those looking to make a difference in the lives of children, becoming a foster parent provides a rewarding opportunity to help a child in need. Youth Villages is looking for caring adults in the Covington area to open their hearts and homes as foster parents to children who have suffered abuse, neglect or abandonment.

Youth Villages will offer two free orientation sessions for those interested in learning more about becoming a foster parent. The orientation sessions will be held: Thursday, March 13 at 6 p.m. and Saturday, March 15 at 10 a.m.

Youth Villages will also

offer two sets of free training classes to teach new foster parents how to address a child’s emotional and behavioral problems, as well as parenting and discipline techniques. The first training classes of the year will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6 p.m., beginning Tuesday, March 18; and Saturdays at 10 a.m., beginning March 22 All orientation sessions and training classes will be held at the Youth Villages office, located at 5515 Shelby Oaks Drive in Memphis.

Foster parents provide children with a safe, comfortable environment and monitor their emotional

growth, school progress and physical health. They also serve as positive role models to children who may lack caring adults in their lives.

Foster parents care for children until they can return to their birth families or an adoptive family is found for them.

Youth Villages provides foster parents with 24-hour access to counselors, support groups and a monthly stipend to offset the cost of adding a child to the home.

Foster parents also often have the first right to adopt if the child becomes available for adoption.

Foster parents should be over the age of 25 and residents of Tennessee. Foster parents should have viable income, reliable transportation and be able to pass a background check and home study.

For more information about the upcoming training classes or how you can change the life of a child, contact Genesha Dorris, foster parent recruiter, at 901252-7648 or genesha.dorris@ youthvillages.org.

IN THE MATTER OF:

Lot 46, Oak Creek Subdivision, Phase 1 as recorded at Plat Cabinet H, Slide 463 of the Tipton County Register’s Office to which plat reference is hereby made for a more particular description of said lot.

This conveyance is made subject to subdivision restrictions at Book 1345, Page 450 and building lines and easements of record at Plat Cabinet H, Slide 463, and easement to Southwest Tennessee at Book 1346, Page 799 of the said Register’s Office

Tax Parcel No: 128M-D-019.00

Infant Male Doe, DOB: 02/16/14 A CHILD UNDER EIGHTEEN (18) YEARS OF AGE

ORDER FOR PUBLICATION In this cause, it appears to the Court from the allegations of the Petition that the Department of Children’s Services is seeking to declare Infant Male Doe a voluntarily delivered child pursuant to T.C.A. § 36-1-142, a copy of said Petition may be obtained at the Office of the Juvenile Court Clerk of Tipton County, Covington, Tennessee.

The child was born on February 16, 2014, in Covington, Tennessee, at approximately 40 weeks gestation, has black hair and appears to be of African-American descent. The mother voluntarily delivered the child to Baptist Memorial Hospital - Tipton for adoption on February 16, 2014. The mother is believed to be of African-American descent and is believed to be from Fayette County, Tennessee. The father is believed to be of African-American descent and is believed to be from Fayette County, Tennessee. Failure by the biological mother to seek contact with the child through the Department of Children’s Services or to revoke the voluntary delivery within thirty (30) days of the date of the last publication of notice shall constitute abandonment of the child and of the mother’s interests. The putative father of said child who fails to claim paternity by contacting the Department or by registering with the putative father registry within thirty (30) days of the date of the last publication of notice shall be barred from thereafter bringing any action to establish paternity of the infant. Such failure will constitute abandonment of any right to notice of, or to a hearing in, any judicial proceeding for the adoption of such infant and that consent of such putative father shall not be required for adoption of the infant.

A transforming faith

By EMILY PEYTON COOK Special to The Leader I recently heard a lyric by Ellie Holcomb, “There is good news.

There is good truth, that you could never change no matter what you do.” It made me stop and ponder what I believe and why I believe it.

Romans 12:2 says, “Do not copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.

Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”

The thing that sets Christianity apart from the rest of the world religions is the redemptive power of God to transform a life from evil to good. Man must come to the end of himself, realizing that there is nothing he can do to earn God’s favor. Romans 5:8 says, “But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.” The gift of salvation is offered before we get it all together with the promise that God will do the work to transform us into who He created us to be. Other religions are works based, focusing on man modifying his behavior to earn his way to God. Behavior modification is the

THE COOK FAMILY

message of the world. When its brought to our attention we possess a negative quality that we need to overcome we are encouraged to read a self help book, take a class, pop a pill, and if all else fails, we will reap a consequence. If we overcome the behavior by working really hard, we will be praised.

With God’s method of operation being countercultural to the world’s way, it takes a lot of faith to believe that there is nothing we can do to change. It takes even more faith to believe that God can do the same for an offending brother or sister in Christ, friend, spouse, child, or enemy. I believe the key to the forgiveness that is required of us as a New Testament believer hinges on this truth.

If we truly believe in the transforming power of God to change a person by grace through faith, I believe we will be more patient

with ourselves as God grows us into who He wants us to be and we’ll be more understanding of those around us who hurt us or are hard to love. Maybe it will change the way we react to fellow believers who are growing in the faith and motivate us to share the gospel to those around us who don’t know the good news of our transforming faith.

I believe if we see ourselves in light of Christ’s holiness, we will respond like the sinful woman in Luke 7:47, “I tell you, her sins— and they are many—have been forgiven, so she has shown me much love. But a person who is forgiven little shows only little love.” May we remember just how much we’ve been forgiven and our first response be love, for who we are in Christ and who others could become if they will only receive the gift of salvation. May our gratitude towards God be so great that we surrender and allow Him to work in us for good and may it drive us to spread the good news to those who are outside the faith that there is a solution that has nothing to do with striving.

Cook is a Christian, first and foremost, and is also a wife, mother and photographer. She and her husband, Zach, live in Covington with their three children.

There was a father who told his son to build a house, a barn and to dig a well. The father told the son to build the barn behind the house and to dig the well behind the barn. House and barn were built exactly to the father’s specifications but the son dug the well between the house and the barn.

He reasoned that the well will be more accessible if dug between the house and the barn.

When did the son obey the will of his father?

Answer: He never did.

He built the house and the barn like the father asked, not because it was his father’s will, but because it was what the son wanted. The first time the son’s will (what the son wanted) differed from what the Father wanted, the son did it his own way in spite of explicit instructions to the contrary.

The people of Jesus day followed him in droves for a while.

When He fed them physically and preached what they liked, he was popular but when it came to the “hard” things, the masses turned away. John 6: 60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? 61 When Jesus knew in himself that his

disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? 66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. The exodus was so great that Jesus feared even the twelve would turn away. John 6: 67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?

What about us? Many claim an allegiance to the Lord. Many are willing to be religious to a point.

Many are willing to follow until it conflicts with what they want to do, with what they want to believe or with how they want to worship or live.

They want to follow God if he does not expect too much. Too much is defined as anything they do not want to do. Does this not depict those in Jesus’s description of the judgment scene? Matt 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

In worship, will it be His will or ours? In pulpits across the land,

His word, the message, has been watered down or replaced altogether with a motivational talk or a message to make one feel good, to tickle one’s ears. 2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears. Preachers are “preaching” what people want to hear instead of what they need to hear.

The Bible is seldom mentioned much less quoted. When the Bible is used, it is merely a springboard for the “real” message. Matt 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

In our worship, we have forgotten who the “audience” is (God), who our worship is to be directed to (God) and who is to be pleased with our worship (God).

Our worship has become just another source of entertainment to us.

Our worship for the most part is a spectator sport. We have forgotten that in worship we are to be the participants, not spectators. The most popular preacher is the one who makes us feel the best, not the one who tells it like it is. The most popular church is the one that can provide the best entertainment experience. The Lord’s Supper has almost been

removed altogether in worship for we, like the son above reason we know better than the Father. We fail to observe the divine example of Scripture with regard to its observance. (Acts 20:7) Not satisfied with the a cappella music (without an instrument, Encyclopaedia Britannica says is from Italian: in the church style) authorized in the NT (Eph. 5:19, Col.3:16-17) and solely practiced by the early church until the sixth century AD and condemned by many of the founders of denominations that use them today, we again have imposed our own will over the Father’s will introducing one instrument after another. The same is true in reference to other parts of our worship and even in the Father’s plan of redeeming man. We all need to remember: Jer. 10:23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. Isa 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. His will or ours, which will it be?

One win short Late lead, state bid slip away for Covington girls

By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com The Lady Chargers came into their sectional home game Saturday night riding a four game winning streak against Westview.

Westview coach Sean Stephenson was concerned about rebounding.

“If we don’t get on the boards," he said before the game, "we’ll get blown out."

Rebound they did and, in doing so, sunk Covington's hopes of a second consecutive trip to the state tournament, posting a 69-60 overtime win.

Westview (24-12) ran out to an early lead in the first period. Covington tied it at 10 and then went cold to trail 18-12 at the end of one quarter.

A 14-7 second period gave the Lady Chargers a lead that they would hold until Westview tied the game at 52 with .6 seconds left in regulation.

CHS (26-9) suffered a major blow when LeShaundra Somerville, who had 16 points, was whistled for her fifth foul midway through the fourth period.

Her absence gave Westview the rebounding/scoring edge they needed in the low lost and they took advantage.

Covington held an eight-point lead with 5:05 remaining in regulation but could not hold it.

Despite shooting a respectable 78 percent at the free throw line, two crucial misses on the front end of one-and-ones left the door wide open for Westview.

The first miss came with 17 seconds remaining and a four-point Covington lead. The second came five seconds later with Covington ahead by two.

While Covington struggled on the boards with Somerville on the bench in the OT period, Westview ran away

with the win, outscoring CHS 17 to nine in the extra period.

CHS was outscored 30-13 in the final 9:05 of the fourth period and OT. Covington senior Precious Harvey was an offensive force in the first half.

She scored 14 of her game and season high 23 points before halftime, which included five 3-pointers.

Janeika Mason closed out her CHS career with 11 points.

Westview focused on her all night, keeping her out of the paint and off the boards for the most part.

Tiffany Rechis burned CHS with 22 points and four 3-pointers. Senior twin guards Kendall and Kaley Leyhue chipped in 10 points and Dianna Flipping had 18.

CHS committed 13 turnovers, including seven in the fourth period.

Somerville, Harvey, Treasury Poindexter and Mason were named allregion.

In another game: • It is hard enough to beat a team once in a season. How about four times?

The Lady Chargers faced that task in the Region 8-AA championship last Wednesday and passed the test, drubbing Jackson North Side, 66-40.

The win gave CHS its second consecutive regional title and advanced them to the sectionals for the third straight season.

Covington led 22-8 after one period and, despite an offensive lull in the second quarter, still led by seven at the half.

The walls caved in for JNS in the second half. The Lady Chargers outscored the Indians 34-15 and were not challenged.

Somerville led the scoring with 21 points, validating her regional MVP/ all-region selection. She was district tournament MVP as well.

Harvey and Mason added 13 each.

Baseball, softball, soccer get started on Monday

Chargers advance to sectionals

With all the snow and ice that's hit the area over the past week it's hard to believe, but high school baseball, softball, soccer and other spring sports get started Monday.

Here's a quick look at some of the games this week.

And don't forget to check out our Spring Training special section inside today's paper, where we preview the area's teams.

CHS one win from state

By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com Having improbably climbed two mountains assuring a shot at a state tournament berth, the Chargers faced another against Manassas on Saturday for a region championship and one more home game.

Covington played hard, but 59 points from the Tigers senior starting guards and center were too much for Covington to overcome.

Manassas won 78-71, sending Covington to a sectional match-up at Region 7-AA champ Jackson South Side.

After falling behind 23-14 after one period, Covington used an 18-9 run in the second to close the gap to 37-32 at the break.

It was as close as CHS would come for the rest of the game as DeShawn Bell (15 points) ruled the backboards and guards Courtney Smith (17 points) and sweet-shooting Rayford Albright (27 points) were masters in the backcourt.

Bobby Shanks led CHS with 17 points. Malcolm Taylor turned in another strong performance with 16 and Derrian Tipton had one of his best nights of the year with 15.

Missed free throws again played a major role in the outcome. Manassas made 17 of 21 attempts and CHS just 13 of 24.

The Civil War in Tipton County

By RUSSELL BAILEY Tipton County Historian

Tiptonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cavalry soldiers: actions at Byhalia and Wyatt, Miss., Pt. I Following the Battle of Collierville on Oct. 11, 1863, Chalmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Confederates retired southward, carrying off their wounded, captured property and an estimated 108 prisoners. The butternut troopers camped that night on Byhalia Creek.

The next morning, Gen. Chalmers drafted a letter to â&#x20AC;&#x153;the commander of the U.S. Forces at Memphisâ&#x20AC;? regarding a prisoner of war exchange.

In particular, Chalmers wanted the release of Capt. A. W. Cushman of Lauderdale County, an officer of Col. R. V. Richardsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partisan rangers, who had been captured and subjected to trial for a criminal offense.

The Rebel general stated that in the Collierville engagement he had captured a captain and a lieutenant of the

â&#x20AC;&#x153;U. S. forces.â&#x20AC;? In the letter, Chalmers noted that these two officers would receive the same treatment as Cushman.

By noon of Oct. 12, 1863, the railroad tracks repaired, Gen. W. T. Sherman and his staff were on their way towards Chattanooga, the locomotive still damaged from a rebel cannon shot. Sherman was embarrassed and angered at his near capture at Collierville. He wrote: "I think I will try and make Chalmers feel he cannot attack us unpunished.

We gave him more than he expected yesterday and will try to treat him so that he will remember it as long as he lives."

To Gen. S. A. Hurlbut, at Memphis, Sherman wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe Chalmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; force is the only force near Memphis and (Col. Edward) Hatch can drive it into pieces and fragments if he pushes them hardâ&#x20AC;ŚChalmers move is a feint to draw off our attention (from moving troops to Chattanooga); therefore, chase him below

the Tallahatchie. Instruct your cavalry to take all horses and mules between the railroad and the Tallahatchie, burn all mills and corn-fields, and let them feel that to attack our road will be surely followed by vengeance. Several of the dead at Collierville had your oath of allegiance and all sorts of passes on their persons.â&#x20AC;?

Gen. E. A. Carr had 1,000 white infantry and a battery at Lagrange. Gen. T. W. Sweenyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s command was marching toward Hudsonville, Miss. His force numbered 4,000 men including two brigades of cavalry, six regiments of infantry and two batteries of artillery (six mountain howitzers and four steel guns). His task force carried six dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rations (two in haversacks) and 200 rounds of ammunition to the man.

Sweenyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cavalry brigade commanders were Colonelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Edward Hatch and Jesse J. Phillips. The cavalry soon left Sweenyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slow marching infantry in an attempt to catch up with Chalmers.

From Memphis, Gen. S. A. Hurlbut wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a brigade of infantry at Holly Springs and cavalry to the right and left of that point and hope to cut them (Chalmers) off.â&#x20AC;?

Later that day, from Hudsonville, Gen. Sweeny wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cavalry brigade under Phillips on the line of the Coldwater as far west as Quinnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill, the point where the enemy crossed on their way to Collierville, and occupy all the fords on that stream. Col. Hatch left here this morning in the direction of Mt. Pleasantâ&#x20AC;ŚI donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see how they can escape now except in an easterly direction, and if the cavalry give me timely notice I can checkmate that move.â&#x20AC;?

Col. Edward Hatchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cavalry included the 3rd Michigan. Col. Jesse J. Phillipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; brigade was watching the line of the Coldwater, between Quinnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Lockhartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mills. The Federals had ample troops positioned to surround and capture Chalmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; command.

Almyra Libby Click Hi everyone.

Starting this week with just another one of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blessings. Some may not consider it a blessing as Titan made landing.

The thunder, lightning, ice, sleet and snow Sunday night had its own unique style and performance.

Monday morning was such sensational and beautiful scenery to open oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes upon. At 7:30 a.m., I took my dog outside as well as my camera.

I took many pictures, one of which was Charlieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tractor covered in snow and ice.

I`m sure he was able to see it from above. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now another special memory.

As I looked outside the windows, there were a few trucks going up and down the road. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure

itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fun challenge for many men to see if they can handle it. However, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure many men still had to go to work at some appointed time.

The next beautiful sight was all the red birds around the bird feeder and on the ground.

March is full of special days, one of which is this coming Sunday the 9th, Daylight Savings Time.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to set your clocks forward one hour.

I will try to keep you updated on other special days as they come along.

There are four family birthdays this month.

The birthdays are all of the younger family members.

While writing, the snow continues. I do see many more limbs down around the property. Thank God for grandsons!

Last week, Mr. Bill helped me by putting new locks on the storage building, and while inside I came across some old Leader newspapers dating back to the early 60's, belonging to Charlie, of course. It has been so much fun going through them and recognizing many family names and stories of Tipton County.

HEY COVINGTON,

a new way to save on GROCERIES coming March 27th.

Elaine Watkins It's a rainy Sunday afternoon. We are in a winter storm watch, again, and thought I'd get this done in case the power goes out. And we just got all the limbs picked up yesterday from the last storm!

Last week, I was in Nashville at a Tennessee Area Conservation Districts Convention.

We fellowshipped, met, passed resolutions and visited the Capitol Building, where I shook hands with our Senator Mark Norris. I missed Representative Debra Moody, but caught Mark in the hallway, fortunately. I had great meals and fun riding there and back with Danielle Schlauch, our district secretary.

It was a nice four days and when I got home, all the power was fixed and back in the ground, but the telephone line had been cut. It was quiet until Friday, when that got fixed, so we're all back in business. And now another ice storm!

We had lunch in Jackson and I stopped by to check on my dad, Kenneth Weir, whose glasses are broken. I have to find

out where they came from and get him another pair. Otherwise, he was doing well.

We spent Thursday getting taxes done and mailed on Friday. After I mailed them off, I met Elizabeth and Lyla and we shopped for an outfit for her to wear in the upcoming children's section of The Leader. We found something really cute on the square. Afterwards, we grocery shopped and ended a big day together.

James and I, along with lots and lots of others, enjoyed the Lions Club 59th Pancake Breakfast Saturday morning.

While the boys were finishing up all the work they have been doing in the fields on Highway 14, I cleaned and moved the den furniture. I have to do that every once in a while for a change.

We had one church service this morning, to discuss our plans to build, the prayer that will go into that, and a program we are taking on to further that work. It sounds exciting.

Happy birthday to Judy Dunaway and Car-

Donation benefits new manufacturing program The Unilever plant in Covington recently donated $12,000 to Dyersburg State Community College (DSCC) to support its High School Dual Enrollment Advanced Integrated Industrial Technology (AIIT) program. The program helps eligible high school juniors and seniors to earn college credit before they graduate and creates awareness of career opportunities within the manufacturing industry.

Currently, 29 dual enrollment students from Brighton and Covington High Schools are taking courses at DSCC’s Jimmy Naifeh Center in Tipton County in order to earn the Certified Production Technician (CPT) certification, which is also included within the new Associate’s degree in AIIT. Courses include training in workplace safety, manufacturing processes and production, quality control and statistical process control, and predictive preventative maintenance and lubrication. These courses are designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to

I was able to get out to church at North Star before it turned bad, even made it into Kroger. We had a very nice service; Rev. Steven Miller Sr. brought it as he always does! Psalms 99:1-4, “Five ways that the devil binds your worship.” He discussed everything from perception, to prideful

Last year, Unilever announced the expansion of its Covington facility, which produces ice cream and frozen novelty items for brands such as Breyers, Fruttare, Good Humor, Klondike and Popsicle. Plans include facility and site improvements for an 11,000-square-foot engine room expansion and a 90,000-square-foot parking lot expansion, resulting in an investment of $108.7 million and the addition of 428 new full-time positions over a four-year period.

Upon completion of the project, the company expects to have a workforce of nearly 1,000 employees in Covington.

“Unilever is committed to improving the lives of our employees and people in the communities where we live and serve, and we are proud to support Dyersburg State Community College,” said Larry D. Gibson, Manufacturing Director, Unilever Covington Ice Cream Plant. “We have made a significant investment to expand our operations in Covington, and in order to continue our growth we are going to need a talented employee base.”

“There is enormous potential for careers in manufactur-

“Dyersburg State Community College is delighted to have Unilever as a partner in improving the pipeline of potential employees for an advanced, high-performing manufacturing environment,” stated Dr. Karen Bowyer, President of DSCC. “The new AIIT Associate of Applied Science Degree program that contains four stackable certificates (Certified Production Technician, Mechatronics Industrial Electricity, Mechatronics Programmable Logic Controller, Mechatronics Mechanical Components) has been developed to educate a world class workforce for manufacturers in this region. Dual enrollment high school students and their parents are excited about this opportunity to prepare for a bright future in advanced manufacturing.”

Farmers helping Go Lucy Go fundraising Tipton County farmer Leslie Roane has directed a $2,500 donation to the Go Lucy Go Foundation.

Funded by America’s Farmers Grow Communities, the donation will allow the organization to support the families of children who have been diagnosed with brain cancer. The organization provides warm meals and a food pantry for families facing devastating circumstances.

The organization was founded by the family of Lucy Hannah, a brave young girl who has overcome great odds after being diagnosed with Medulloblastoma.

“Lucy is an incredible fighter and has touched everyone in this community’s heart,” said Roane.

America’s Farmers Grow Communities works directly with farmers to support nonprofit organizations like the Go Lucy Go Foundation, who are doing important work in their communities.

The program offers farmers the chance to win $2,500, which is then donated to the farmer’s nonprofit of choice. The search for funding to sustain and enhance programs is a year-round job for nonprofit organizations across the country.

Through America’s Farmers Grow Communities, farmers have been able to support a variety of groups, such as schools, fire departments, community centers and youth organizations like

4-H and FFA. America’s Farmers Grow Communities launched in 2010 and has since donated over $13 million to more than 5,200 nonprofit organiza-

tions across the country.

TAX TIP Making a Move That Pays If you’ve got a new job on the horizon, and if it involves a move, you may claim your expenses on your tax return. The new job has to be 50 miles farther from your former home than your old job was, so cross-town moves may not qualify.
