COVINGTON

Mayor says no changes, no secrets

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com

No changes.

That's what Covington Mayor David Gordon said he's trying to pass with a new version of the city's municipal code, which led to a recent discussion about separation of powers for the mayor and aldermen.

"I assure the board and the public that I'm not trying to have anything passed secretly or change anything," Gordon told the city's Finance and Administration committee Tuesday afternoon.

The clarification was prompted by a story and editorial in last week's issue

of The Leader where aldermen questioned the mayor's motives for trying to push through what they believed were changes made to the municipal code, as well as whether or not the city would best benefit from a weak- or strongmayoral form of government.

Specific concerns of the board as discussed during the June 19 meeting included disciplinary action they believed singles out the fire chief and committee and board appointments they believed would no longer have to be approved by the board of aldermen.

It appeared a power struggle was brewing; the mayor and board members denied that, but still discussed

separating powers.

"I'm not trying to do anything underhanded, I'm not trying to gain power," Gordon said. "These documents are as they have been for several years. That's all I have to say."

The verbiage of the ordinance involving the fire chief's discipline has not been changed and Section 22 of the charter, which was passed in 2006 when Russ Bailey was mayor, states the mayor shall make appointments as authorized by law.

"It's identically the same," vice mayor and F&A committee chairman John Edwards said during the meeting of the Board of Mayor and Alderman on

Thursday. "We may have went out halfcocked in the last meeting."

Some aldermen attribute the misunderstanding to the lack in communication about the new code's changes, if any, and its purpose.

"There were no changes made to ordinances, they were used to codify," the mayor said. "I'm asking you to approve the codification of ordinances that have been approved legally."

Alderman Tommy Black, who led the accusation that changes had been made, told the mayor he didn't agree with the charter in 2006 and still doesn't agree with it. He wants the board to SEE MAYOR, PAGE A3

SCHOOLS

School budget drops $1.2M

By FRANCE GASQUET fgasquet@covingtonleader.com

The 2014-15 school budget was approved at the Tipton County Board of Education meeting held June 12.

This year’s balanced budget has total expenditures of $78.6 million, which is $1.2 million less than last year's amended budget.

The budget, which went into effect on July 1, has a change in total regular instruction of negative $892,000, due to a decrease of $1.035 million in regular instructional equipment.

According to Bobby Alsbrook, business manager for Tipton County Schools, the decrease is directly related to PARCC testing.

“Money was put in last year’s budget for the school systems to get up to speed in technology for the PARCC testing,” said Alsbrook. “This year, I plan to use the $892,000, for technology equipment, and also textbooks have gone up.”

Election time is near

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com It's a busy time for the Tipton County Election Commission as several deadlines for the 2014 elections are approaching.

Persons wishing to register to vote must do so by July 8 – next week – for the August federal and state primaries and the county general election.

Changes in address don't necessarily have to be done then, but it's helpful, said Neil Bell, Tipton County's administrator of elections.

"You can wait until you get to the polls to do that, but you'll be in line longer," Bell said.

Early voting will begin July 18 and will be held at the Election Commission, 113 E. Church Street in CovSEE ELECTION, PAGE A11

MAYOR

Contined from A1 read through the new code and make changes to it prior to its formal approval.

"Bill Scruggs, Jere Hadley and I want to change it before we adopt it," he said. "You want to do it your way, we want to do it ours, and if I can get those other three votes, we can do it our way."

As in the June 19 meeting, Black and Scruggs clarified the proposal to make chages to the code first has nothing to do with Gordon and everything to do with the future.

"My concern is separation of powers, not you personally," Black told the mayor. "Not every-

one is honest and one day we'll get someone in here that we don't like who'll take advantage."

Scruggs told the committee he'd assumed changes had been made and that's why it seemed the mayor was trying to hurriedly push the new code through.

"Sometimes you have

to come to the nitty gritty of things to get to the right answer, unfortunately," Scruggs said.

At next Tuesday's called meeting, which takes place at 1 p.m. in the conference room, Ronnie Neill, with the Municipal Technical Advisory Service, will be on-hand to discuss, in detail, what's

changed in the proposed code.

"For clarification, there's really no changes in the mayor's powers in 2006 to now," Edwards said.

"You'd have saved a lot of breath if you'd brought that up the other day," Scruggs responded.

Edwards, however,

said he was caught blindsided on June 19. He has since spent time digging through the current ordinances and codes and found no contradictions.

"Actually, I did use that breath in the last meeting, I just got bad information."

ty Schools increased last year’s budget to update technology, such as computer systems, Internet speeds and the like.

As of May 21, Tennessee has pulled out of PARCC due to testing concerns.

Additional changes in this year’s budget are as follows: • An increase from $600,000 to $650,000 for a

“save the children” grant for CIAA. Last year, the school was awarded a partial grant; this year it received the grant in its entirety.

• The budget was reduced by seven certified positions, a decrease of 6.67 percent;, due to 169 less students. The reduction in force was met through attrition and retirements.

• The budget will continue to provide for those employees scheduled for a step increase, which is .75 percent of salary.

• An increase in budget of 15.71 percent from $700,000 to $810,000 for textbooks.

• A newly created position of certified personnel director, with a salary of $83,000, replaces a non-certified secretarial

position, with a previous salary of $38,000. Mary Haywood, former principal of Munford Elementary School, as well as former TIF grant administrator, has been named certified personnel director. “(Director of schools) Dr. (Buddy) Bibb felt a full time person, who had supervisory experience and was certified

was necessary to meet personnel’s needs,” said Alsbrook.

According to Alsbrook, the school system employs approximately 1,500 people, including 808 certified positions and 650-700 other employees, such as food service, bus drivers, teaching assistants, etc.

There is also a community room and a significant amount of space designed specifically for use by small children.

Drop down projectors are in the community room and rooms for children and there's a designated entrance and exit for children. One of the rooms for children includes a small stage and a kitchen.

"What we found was that when the economy got worse, the first thing people were cutting was their cable and Internet access," Huffman said.

"Yet, in order to apply for a job to get ahead, you had to have Internet access and be able to use computers."

The learning center portion of the building includes several large classrooms, an area for workout equipment and a recreation room that

will have pool tables, ping pong tables and video games.

As of early this week, the building's exterior was complete. Contractors were finishing up painting inside and putting the finishing touches on various things. Computers and furniture are expected be installed next. A grand opening is expected to be held in September.

"I think we've proven that these kinds of colleges can certainly help produce a quality workforce, people with more skills who can attract better-paying jobs," DSCC president Dr. Karen Bowyer said. "The fact that we're building a nicer facility will attract local high school kids."

THURSDAY, JULY 3, 2014 ▪ A4 www.covingtonleader.com

A story of an old friend and a flood At an early age, I realized that there are many different kinds of people in one’s life- specifically in the friendship category. There are friends grown from mutual experiences, friends of friends which are adopted, and then there are friends of convenience.

Laura Robert was one of the last sort.

She and I were in grade school together at St. Andrews. She was a prissy thing, one of those girls who coyly stood off the sidelines of the kickball game and jumped when the action got too close. She only played hopscotch or talked with a friend at recess because she didn’t want to get her clothes dirty.

I viewed her with abject disdain and some relief; we could be friends because (at eight years old) I was sure she would never have any of the boys interested in her. I, on the other hand, was always the first or second girl chosen for the team, a high honor. I SOUTHERN FRANCE was even picked before some FRANCE GASQUET of the boys. I firmly believed that in order to win a boy’s heart, you had to compete with him first. And win.

I knew back then that Laura was a different animal from me and I could tell she would become like her mother, which was her nature; yet for me, some place very off-kilter. Laura’s mother was exotic, with dyed big black hair and black eyeliner tht reminded me of Cleopatra or some Egyptian somebody. She wore flat thong sandles and caftans and had numerous dinner parties. She was beautiful in a surreal sort of way.

When I was eight or nine and went to their house, Laura and I were relegated to the basement, which had been refashioned into a playroom and some extra bedrooms. As a child, I couldn’t decide if I was in awe of this bizarre space or terrified of it. I remember giving her mother credit for creative maneuvering of her offspring and the frustration of not being allowed upstairs during their festivities.

That summer of my 15th year was filled with new adventures because I lived in New Orleans with my father and his family. Additionally, the driving age was 15, and all of my childhood friends were now free to go out on their own.

In New Orleans, it rains like the tropics. Monsoon-like storms can come and go within minutes or stay for hours. It can catch a girl off guard, especially if she’s not prepared. Especially if she forgets that the city is below sea level and prone to flooding.

Laura and I hadn’t seen each other since we were 10, but as summer can be long for a teenager, and one can only hang out with her eight year old kid brother so much, I called her up.

We decided she’d pick me up and we’d go to the newly renovated zoo.

I remember it was a hot day and, as always, the zoo was packed. We left the car in elephant parking, closer to the eagle intersection than the owl, each section denoted by a picture on a street light.

Whatever the whimsy for parking designations, just know we were REALLY FAR AWAY. We paid our entrance fee and headed for I don’t remember, but it was once again, REALLY FAR AWAY. The thing about real friends, people you have a connection with, is that you pick up where you left off. Laura and I really couldn’t find a whole lot in common and since there were no teenage boys hanging out at the zoo, early afternoon was quickly becoming a long day.

We were both dressed summer-teenage girlslooking-for-a-boyfriend-cute, with espadrilles, skorts, little sweater tops and jewelry, as well as lots of makeup. It was so hot and cloyingly humid and the farther we walked, the more our cuteness fizzled.

Without warning, the skies opened up and a huge deluge of rain began. We ran for shelter, but were soaked by the time we got there. We waited and waited and waited at the snake pavilion for the rain to stop. As the rain began to slow, we decided to make a run for it, to the next shelter. And so it went for an hour or longer.

Once at the front of the zoo, we had to make a decision: to stay or to run to the car. “We’re already wet, how bad could it be?” we asked ourselves.

It was much worse. Due to storm, the note on which we’d jotted our parking animal had fallen apart. Were we eagle or owl or elephant or SEE FLOOD, PAGE A5

Even a short disability and time away from work can wreak havoc on your financial situation. And an extended stay in a nursing home can be hugely expensive. In fact, the national average for a private room in a nursing home is nearly $84,000 per year, according to a recent survey by Genworth, a financial security company. To defend yourself against the threat of disability or the expense of long-term care, you may want to consult with a financial advisor, who can recommend the appropriate protection vehicles.

The Fourth of July is a festive occasion. But you’ll have even more reason to celebrate once you can declare your own financial independence. So, do what it takes to speed the arrival of that day.

FLOOD

Continued from A4 hippotumas? We dashed up and down the several acres of parking looking for the car. The lot was now flooding and I had to take off my shoes to run better.

“Where is it? Why isn’t it here?” we were practically screaming to each other over the thunder, lightning and heavy rain.

We finally found it, neatly parked where we had left it, in the back left corner of a 30–acreenvelope of cars.

Laura started the car, and we took off, thrilled to be warm and dry. She drove through the flooded parking lot, onto flooded Magazine Street, over to flooded River Road and then, and then, the car stalled.

You see, for those of you not in the know, all that flooding is not

good for a sweet car. It can create a problem, such as the aforementioned stalling.

We were a little frantic, because Laura had just gotten her driver’s license and breaking a car did not bode well for her.

It was now late afternoon, and we were blocking one of the two lanes during almost-rush hour.

No matter what we did or tried, the car would not turn. So, we left the car, one of us sitting on the sidewalk beside it, while the other walked to the nearest store to call home for help.

About 45 minutes later, as the rain finally gave way, my stepbrother Jeff arrived; my father had sent him to help us out.

Jeff sat in the driver’s seat, turned the key, and voila’ the car

started. We were overwhelmed with relief, although also more than a little embarrassed.

What I remember most is I told Laura that one day we’d think back and laugh about our frustration all over some silly rain ... and she just looked at me like I was from another planet.

I suppose it’s all about perspective, isn’t it? We were safe and warm and now had a fun story to tell. And even better, we had not broken the car.

And Laura? Well, I saw her once more, when we were in college.

She was a bartender near LSU and wore lots of black eyeliner and smoked colored French cigarettes.

She had grown up to be just like her mother; not bad or good, just much different than me.

Obituaries Lois Jean Gainer Fyfe

August 6, 1927 – June 18, 2014

Peter McNeely Fyfe and Lois Gainer Fyfe, Nov. 28, 2013 at their 60th wedding anniversary.

Lois Jean Gainer Fyfe was born in Urbana Ohio on August 6, 1927 to Erma (Hoose) and Henry Gainer. She grew up there on the family farm with her three older siblings: Annetta, Martin, and Joseph. Lois was valedictorian of her high school graduating class in 1944 and then attended Ohio State University where she studied music and textiles.

Her organ professor was Wilbur Held, who remained her friend and mentor all her life.

She moved to New York in 1949 to study organ at Columbia University with Karl Weinrich. She worked in the library at Juilliard School of Music and also did bookkeeping and was in the choir at St Michaels Episcopal Church, where the rector, William Corker, introduced her to the organist Peter Fyfe. Their first date was April 13, 1951 and they were married November 28, 1953. While in New York she also worked as an administrative secretary at Standard Oil of New Jersey.

In 1957 their daughter Catharine was born. Lois and Peter moved to Nashville January of 1959 for Peter to be organist and choir master at Christ Episcopal Church. Lois was truly Peter’s helpmate with the music program at Christ Church, including singing in the choir, and together they won much respect and acclaim at the church and throughout the music and church communities in the area. They sponsored many music events and in 1984 established an endowed scholarship in music at the Blair School of Music.

During the early 1960s Lois deciphered and typed numerous letters written to and from President James K. Polk, to be published in a series of books: Correspondence of James K. Polk, edited by Herbert Weaver. For many years she worked at Vester Music Service as a sheet music distributor, where she cultivated a very fine reputation. In 1993 she established her own company, Lois Fyfe Music, specializing in organ and sacred choral music. Her vast knowledge of these subjects, along with her incredible memory and care for detail made her an invaluable resource for customers all over the world. Her tenaciousness in searching for music in print was extraordinary. One customer commented that Lois “is a kindred spirit in musical taste, has a sense of what working as a church musician is all about, and can perform wonders with those most unpredictable of all beasts, the music publishers.” Lois Fyfe Music continues her work with Jonathan Setzer and Elizabeth Smith, who bought the store in 2009, and Michael Belote.

Lois and Peter were very generous throughout the years in sponsoring organ concerts, especially at Christ Church, and choral concerts, such as the Trinity Choir from Cambridge, UK at the 2012 national convention of the American Guild of Organists. At this same convention, Lois and Peter received the Edward Hansen Leadership Award from the AGO, recognizing “their commitment to excellence in music, unparalleled knowledge of sacred music, their roles as teachers and mentors, and their leadership, devoted service, and extraordinary generosity to the AGO.” Lois is survived by her husband Peter, who lives in Nashville, and daughter Catharine, and grandsons Charles and Joseph who live in St Paul, Minn.

There will be visitation and a funeral service at Christ Church Cathedral in downtown Nashville on July 14; the visitation will be at 10 a.m. and the service at 11.

In memory of Lois Fyfe and in honor of Peter Fyfe by St. Matthew Episcopal Church, Ray and Nancy Fyfe Cardozier and Tim and Thirza Sloan.

High price of freedom

By DANIEL DALTON Gilt Edge Church of Christ Fifty-six men signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.

Of the 56 men, five were captured by the British and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the Revolutionary Army. Another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the war. One was a wealthy plantation owner and trader who watched his ships sunk by the British. He sold his home to pay his debts and died in poverty. One of their homes was overrun with British soldiers who used his home as a headquarters.

While he was still inside he got word to Washington to fire on his home.

He died with nothing left.

We are all thankful for these 56 men who were willing to take a stand and sign the Declaration of Independence.

We owe our freedom in America today to men who were willing to take a stand and make sacrifices. The freedom that

we have in America is not and never has been free. It has been paid for time and time again with the cost of the human live who have died to protect our freedom.

Each time our freedom is challenged brave men and women have been willing to stand, fight, and die so that we might keep our freedom.

People have given their lives. Mothers have given their sons. Wives have given their husbands all to defend and protect our freedom.

Why is freedom so important and valuable to us? What is it about freedom that makes us willing to give anything to keep it? We like knowing that we are free to choose what we want to do and how we want to live. We like knowing that no one can come and force us to work for them and that we can leave any time we want.

We like knowing that we can worship the God of heaven without someone coming in and forcing us to quit or to worship their God. The freedom we have in America is a very important freedom.

Yet the freedom we have in America is of

very little importance when compared to the freedom we have in Christ (Galatians 5:1; 13). Outside of Christ, we have no choice but to serve sin. Many people view this as freedom without even realizing that they are servants to their sin. The alcoholic is servant to the bottle. The thief is servant to stealing. The adulterer is servant to his lusts. While many view themselves as free because they can do whatever they want, what they don’t realize is that they are submitting themselves to eternal slavery in the end. The reality is, we have two choices. We can be a servant to sin or a servant to Christ and righteousness (Romans 6:17-18).

We can choose to submit ourselves to Christ now and be rewarded with an eternity in heaven, or we can serve sin now and pay for our sins for an eternity in hell. The freedom that is found in Christ is not a temporary freedom; it is a freedom from sin that will last for an eternity when we remain faithful to Him. So, why is freedom in Christ so much more important than our freedom

in America? Freedom in Christ frees us from a stronger oppressor.

Freedom in Christ frees us when no one else can.

Freedom in Christ will last longer.

Yet this freedom was not free. All freedom comes at a cost and there is no exception to the freedom we have in Christ. This freedom was bought and paid for by the blood of Christ (Hebrews 9:14). Christ’s death on the cross paid the price for our freedom. He was oppressed, afflicted, slaughtered, and cut off for our iniquities, transgressions, and sins (Isaiah 53). Yet to have this freedom, we must be in Christ and the only way into Christ is through baptism (Galatians 3:26-27). While we remain in Christ and walking in the light, His blood continually pays the price for our sins (1 John 1:7-9).

I am thankful for the freedom we have in America and the price that has been paid for that freedom. Yet even if I lose that freedom, the freedom that I have in Christ cannot be taken away from me! (Romans 8:31-39).

In his steps: a Father's Day challenge

By RICK HUFFMAN Gilt Edge Church of Christ Growing up on a farm in Tipton County, we raised cattle. Our pastures also contained woods with undergrowth where the fence (property) lines were. I would go with my Dad to check the cattle and the fences on many occasions. He would clear the way where there was undergrowth. He would always tell me, “Walk where I walk!

Step where I step!” That was a good idea, but being about a foot shorter made it hard for me to match him stride for stride. Feeding the cows in the barn lot presented a whole different challenge. In the winters the lot was usually muddy and it was a quagmire especially around the feed troughs. It was nearly impossible not to mire up especially carrying buckets of feed or hay bales. However, Dad could navigate the loblolly hardly making a track and never step in “something.” I would mire up to the tops of my boots and end up smelling like “ice cream” as he would call it. He would say, “Follow my steps and walk lightly!”

I would try my best and when I did as he said, it worked. I had a lot less problems.

There was a TV commercial several decades ago where a small boy helped his father wash the family car. The little boy did everything his

father did. He put soap on the car with his little sponge when the father applied soap with his large sponge. When the father rinsed the car with the water hose, the son squirted water on the car with his squirt gun. After finishing the car, they both sat down under a tree to rest. The father pulled a cigarette from the package and laid the package on the ground between himself and his son. The little boy looked at the package on the ground and then admiringly up to his father.

The commercial ended with these words from the announcer, “Like father, like son, think about it!”

Our children will follow in the steps of their fathers. They often literally follow their steps as I did in that pasture.

They often follow in the same occupation, have the same mannerisms, use the same speech and have the same habits.

Our children will also follow our spiritual steps. Many times as fathers, we tell our children to “do as I say do, not as I do.” Sorrow, but our children are going to follow us- do as we do in spite of what we tell them to do. That is why Solomon says, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” (Pro. 22:6) Paul warns fathers, “And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition

of the Lord.” (Eph. 6:4) If God is important to us as fathers, he will be important to our children. If our children see us and hear us pray, they will learn to pray. If we never miss a service of the church, they will also be faithful in attendance.

If we only attend on special occasions such as “holidays” or when we have nothing “better” to do, they will do or not do the same. If God, His Son and the church (kingdom Mat. 16:18-19) are first in our lives, they will be first in our children’s lives. Mat. 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

As fathers, we need to understand that we are not going to heaven alone. In a recent song, the father is appalled at the four letter word his four year old son blurted out upon spilling his fries when the father had to apply the brakes abruptly. The Father asks, “Now, where did he hear that?” The son (or the song) answers, ”I’ve been watching you.” At bedtime that night, the little boy prays and the father is amazed at his prayer. The father asks the same question, “Where did he hear that?” Then comes the same response, “I’ve been watching you”. As fathers, we have to be careful not to send our children mixed signals.

James 3:10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth

blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. 11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? 12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? Either a vine, figs? So can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. It will be sad indeed if we lose our own souls in hell, but if our action or inaction leads to the eternal damnation of our own children, how much sadder will that be? Luke 17:1 Then said he unto the disciples, it is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! 2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

As fathers, we need to remember that we too have a Father, a heavenly Father. We should have the same attitude toward the Father as His only begotten Son had toward Him. Joh 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work Jesus invites us to follow Him, walk in His steps if you will. Lu 9:23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. If we as fathers will do this, our children will be safe in following us.

Covington Fire chief pleased with ISO rating

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com

Covington Fire Chief Jerry Craig said he feels "pretty good" about the city's latest ISO inspection last month.

Though he said the department was "nailed" in a few places, overall it went well.

"They've changed a lot with the way they grade," he said, "but I feel pretty good about mayor going to a three."

The ISO Public Protection Classifica-

tion program inspects municipal fire departments and services to evaluate the city's fire mitigation system for insurance purposes.

Better fire protection is supposed to means savings for homeowners, but the ISO inspectors have strict guidelines.

"If we don't meet the ISO standards, they gig us for it," Craig said.

Though he believes the city scored well – final scores are expected in 90 days – he said the old federal compress

at the corner of East Liberty and Union didn't help them.

"They nailed us on the compress because they don't have a sprinkler system," Craig said. "It's gone, so they took it off."

The regulations, he reported to the city's Public Safety committee on June 26, require sprinklers in a facility that is 15,000 square feet or larger.

The city has no sprinkler ordinance.

Craig said the department received extra credit because they have an arson

investigator and was able to count one of the rescue trucks as a service truck.

The city is currently rated at a four, while the areas of the county served by CFD are rated at a 9. According to ISO, Class 1 generally represents superior property fire protection, and Class 10 indicates that the area's fire-suppression program doesn't meet ISO’s minimum criteria. Other fire departments in Tipton County have also had recent ISO inspections. Those results were not yet available.

Atoka pair charged with manufacturing, selling synthetic drugs Travis Fox and Jason Forbess, both 36 and from Atoka, have been charged in a two-count indictment with manufacturing and distributing synthetic drugs and employing minors to distribute synthetic drugs, announced Edward L. Stanton III, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Tennessee, and 25th District Attorney General Mike Dunavant.

The indictment alleges that beginning in April of 2009, Fox and Forbess manufactured and distributed synthetic drugs often known by the street names “Spice” or “K2.” These drugs mimic the hallucinogenic effects of marijuana with the added side effects of hallucinations, seizures, and dependency/addiction not usually associated with marijuana users.

Fox and Forbess allegedly marketed and sold their products across the United States on their various internet websites. Beginning in 2013, Fox and Forbess employed minors to help distribute the synthetic drugs.

“Synthetic drugs and other designer drugs are devastating communities across the United States. Synthetic drugs have been especially harmful

to high school kids because the products are marketed as ‘legal’ marijuana, when, in fact, these substances are extremely dangerous and illegal,” said Dunavant.

The Tipton County Sheriff’s Office and the DEA investigated the case.

Special Assistant United States Attorney Samuel R. Stringfellow is the prosecutor.

ELECTION

Contined from A1 ington, or at Munford's board room, located in the City Hall complex on College Street.

Election Day will be Thursday, Aug. 7, which is also the first full day of school.

Some schools are polling locations and both events could become confusing.

"There's no way to get around it, unfortunately," Bell said.

On the ballot in August are candidates for governor, U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, State of Tennessee House of Representatives, general sessions judge, circuit court judge, chancellors, public defender, district attorney, county commissioners, school board members, constables and more.

Several elected officials – like Tipton County Sheriff Pancho Chumley, County Clerk Mary Gaither, Court Clerk Mike Forbess, Register of Deeds Claudia Peeler and Trustee Kristie Glass Maxwell – are all running unopposed.

The Leader will publish a Meet the Candidates insert on July 17 to introduce candidates to voters.

November general elections Bell also said persons wishing to pull petitions to run in the November general elections have until noon on Aug. 21 to return them.

Up for election on Nov. 4 are governor; U.S. Senate; U.S. House of Representatives; Tennessee House of Representatives; the Atoka mayor and three of its aldermen; a Burlison city councilman; Covington's mayor and three of its aldermen (districts 1, 2 and 3); Garland's mayor, six councilmen and its town recorder; three Gilt Edge aldermen; Mason's mayor and all six of its aldermen; three Munford aldermen to serve four-

year terms and one Munford aldermen to serve a two-year term.

Additionally, Bell said the Town of Mason will

hold its municipal elections in November for the first time, its mayor and all of its aldermen up for re-election.

THE CIVIL WAR AND TIPTON COUNTY

Tipton’s infantry soldiers in the battle of Missionary Ridge

By RUSSELL BAILEY Tipton County Historian Tipton’s “Southern Confederates,” Co. C., 6th and 9th Tennessee consolidated regiments, Gen. George Maney’s brigade, served in the division commanded by Brig. Gen. States Rights Gist, of Gen. W. J. Hardee’s corps. Gist’s division was assigned to the Chattanooga Valley front.

On Nov. 23, 1863, Maney’s brigade was stationed on Lookout Mountain opposite Gen. Joseph Hooker’s corps of the Union Army of the Potomac. Hooker’s troops were within easy reach of Maney’s men on the mountain.

While serving as a picket, James Lemmon of Tipton, reported to Capt. Hall: “There’s going to be a big fight on Lookout today.”

Lemmon based this on the fact that a Union picket had called across to him: “Johnny, we are coming after you tomorrow and when you see us coming, get out of the way. We don’t want to hurt you.”

The Battle of Orchard Knob was fought Nov. 23. It was located between the lines of the armies, about middle ways, rising about 100 feet, it was a landmark with a good view by both armies. A Union

reconnaissance in force of four divisions, 20,000 men, was committed to the operation with 6,600 more in reserve. The three brigades of Thomas J. Wood made the actual contact with the two lone Confederate Alabama regiments defending the Knob.

The attack commenced at 1:50 p.m. with 5,000 Federals advancing on the 634 Rebels on the Knob.

One of the Alabama regiments put up no resistance and retreated the 1,200 yards to the main Confederate rifle pits along the base of Missionary Ridge. The other Rebel regiment, Wm L. Butler’s 28th Alabama, 300 men, fired volleys into Gen. William Hazen’s brigade of 2,256 soldiers.

Overwhelmed by a sea of blue uniforms, Butler lost 146 men and their flag was captured while the balance of men ran for dear life. Within five minutes, the affair was over. Confederate losses totaled 186 casualties; Union losses 167.

Within an hour, the Chattanooga Valley landscape was a sea of Union soldiers and wagons. Watching the imposing formations from atop Missionary Ridge was Confederate generals Arthur Manigault, James Patton Anderson and army commander Braxton Bragg.

Through his field glasses, Manigault estimated that

50,000 Yankees were marching to and fro, directly in front of Gen. Bragg’s headquarters. The sight of the massed Federal ranks stunned Bragg almost to the point of panic. Bragg ordered new troops dispositions shifting troops to the right or north.

That night, Maney’s brigade, States Rights Gist’s division, was ordered to move to the Missionary Ridge line where it took part in the Battle of Missionary Ridge on Nov. 25,1863.

Captain Hall of the 9th Tennessee wrote: “Our removal from Lookout Mountain had left that part of our line almost without defenders. Gen. (Edward Cary) Walthall was left there in command of a small body of troops… “(On Nov. 24, 1863) Hooker’s corps, on account of the weakness of our line, had no trouble in driving our men from their works who retreated up the slope of the mountain…This was Hooker’s famous ‘Battle Above the Clouds’…it was a mere skirmish and not a battle and fought not above the clouds but in a dense fog which concealed the enemy from the view of our men until they were so close to our works with such tremendous odds in numbers that protracted resistance was useless.”

Mt. Carmel-Clopton Elaine Watkins

It's a rainy weekend at Mt. Watkins; a quarter inch Friday, eighty-five hundredths of an inch on Saturday, then overnight and into Sunday morning, 1.85". We never turn down a rain in summer, but it's soggy out there.

James went to Somerville last Tuesday to buy me a goat or two (Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always wanted some) and the man wouldn't accept his bid; and I'd already checked on the price of goat feed! Maybe after the 4th, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have better luck.

Wednesday, I had a good lunch in Atoka with Michelle Nowak and her daughter, Claudia Chandler Hodge, and Michelleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teacher-friend from school, Tammy. They had been to a teachers' workshop. We had Japanese food at a new place and it was very good; it was a fun day!

My service air bag light has

Almyra Libby Click Hello everyone.

I hope you can see through the humidity.

Out my way, the windows in my home and in my car are so foggy in the morning, I must take a few moments to clear them; no wonder my dog hates to go outside.

Hopefully, we will all have a blessed 4th of July.

At the moment, things are beginning to come

been coming on in my car for a week or so and Wednesday, on the way to Atoka to eat, a red symbol came on my dashboard with an airbag in the driver's lap. It made me nervous, but our mechanic friend, Andy Konesky, looked at it and assured me it wouldn't pop out and make me have a wreck. Rather, it wouldn't pop out if I did have a wreck.

I got a letter in the mail that day saying there was a recall on my air bag. I already had a recall on the water pump, which I never got fixed.

I took the car to Dyersburg on Thursday, where Liz and Lyla picked me up and we shopped and ate while they were working on my car for seven hours!

And I had 105 â&#x20AC;&#x153;very hungry caterpillarâ&#x20AC;? cookies to decorate for the birthday party of Mary Kate Huffman's granddaughter.

together nicely for our country once again, due to recent Supreme Court decisions. Fly those flags proudly!

Please pray for my daughter, Terri Barber, as she, her husband and two sons are in Honduras this week. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the boys first time to fly. I hope they enjoy it as much as I did the one and only time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever flown; I had a window seat and it was awesome. They

Liz and Shelley came over after we got home and we all decorated cookies; it was fun!

Then the cat laid on the box and broke some; lucky I had some extras. Mary Kate said they were the hit of the party, so I'm happy. And my car is fixed!

I enjoyed a cookout Saturday night at Brian and Shelley's for my grandson Cameron's 21st birthday! It has been 21 years since he was a preemie at three pounds, two ounces. Now he's well over six feet tall, expecting a baby with wife, Rachel, and will graduate from Harding University in December. I am so proud of him! After burgers, hot dogs and a Tennessee cake, we watched a terrific lightning storm; it was fun!

We had a big fellowship meal after morning services on this fifth Sunday. There was much good food and we were happy to see everyone home from last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s camp. It was a wonderful day at church, especially

also will have window seats; which will be a lasting memory, as well as a closer look at Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautiful creations!

Sharon Presbyterian Church We welcome all members, friends and visitors to the fellowship of Sharon. Please remember those on our prayer list: Kimberly Bascomb, Brian Holland, Mary Kirk, Lorrie Martin, Martha McQuiston,

because we had one service and everyone was there; we were able to see everyone!

On the prayer list are Neil Bringle, Dale Laxton, Percaya Langston and so many more relatives and friends of our members; and all servicemen and women.

My sincere sympathy is extended to Becky Todd and family in the death of her brother, Ricky Todd, from complications from a fall. I pray Becky had a safe trip back home after staying with her father and Ricky's family for a while. They have my prayers.

Happy birthday to Helen Goforth and Paulette Watkins on June 29, James Watkins on the 30th, Lauren Mosley on July 1, Nolan Combs on the 3rd and Elaine Shankle on the 5th!

Youth Villages holds information session in Covington Youth Villages is in great need of foster parents in the Covington-area and will hold its first free foster parent information session in Tipton County on Thursday, July 17, from 5:30-7 p.m. at Baptist Memorial Hospital-Tipton, located at 1995 U.S. Highway 51 South, in Covington.

Foster parents are needed to care for children who may have suffered abuse, neglect or abandonment.

These children need adults who will care for them until they can return to their birth families or an

adoptive family is found for them.

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.

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 omore than 25 years of age 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 information session or how you can change the life of a child, contact Lacey Howard, Youth Villages foster parent recruiter, at 731-288-4613 or lacey.howard@ youthvillages.org.
