County passes $125.7M budget Property values go down, tax rate goes up By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com

The Tipton County Commission approved a 2014-15 budget Monday night that includes a seven cent property tax increase and a three percent cost of living raise for county employees. Tipton County went through a property reappraisal from the state this year, something that is done every six years. The assessed property value in the county decreased from $981 million to $951.8 million. Because of that change, County Executive Jeff Huffman said most residents will actually pay less in property taxes even though the rate is higher.

The state set the property tax rate at $2.41, which is revenue neutral, meaning the same amount of money should be collected as last year. “After going back 30 years, I cannot see where this has ever happened in Tipton County,” Huffman said about the decreased property value in the county. "Obviously, the recession and the lingering aftermath of the recession has caused values to drop. Not just in Tennessee, but country-wide. When this happens, revenues are stagnant or slow-growing. So local government has to be very cautious

that spending is in line with revenue growth, or lack of growth. This year's budget reflects that caution with a budget reduction of about $1 million compared to last year.” This year's budget is $125.7 million, compared to $126.7 million in 2013-14. It breaks down like this: schools - $78,600,000 ($1.14 tax rate), general fund - $17,036,308 ($.84), highway - $5,763,716 ($.07) and debt service - $5,914,690 ($.36). County employees received a four percent raise last year, but were not given raises the three previous years.

Huffman said, despite the economic downturn nationwide the last few years, the county is in good financial shape. The county's per capita debt is $494, one of the lowest in the area. Madison County's is $574, Fayette's $664, Haywood's $1,053 and Crockett's $1,174. Shelby County's is $1,579. According to Huffman, the county is on track to be out of debt by 2018. “The overall financial position of the county is very strong,” Huffman said. “Tipton County’s fund balance reserves are among the highest in the state as SEE BUDGET, PAGE A3

Former editor Bill Simonton dies at 85

CROWNED

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Bill Simonton, a former editor of The Leader who mentored many at the paper and ushered in new technology, died last Friday. He was 85. He started working at the newspaper when he was eight years old and became editor in 1957. He served in that role until his resignation in 1975. Simonton oversaw The Leader's conversion from a letter press to an offset press in 1961, making the paper the first weekly in West Tennessee to utilize the new technology. “Bill would do anything SIMONTON it took to get the paper out,” said Richard Vandergrift, who was hired by Simonton in 1972. “He didn't shun anything. He would write editorials and opinions and always took on things that he thought were wrong in the community. That wasn't really the case before he got there.” Roland Weir was hired by Simonton as a sportswriter at The Leader in the 1960s. “I was sad when he left,” said Weir. “He helped me out a lot. He was the leader of a lot of changes at the paper. He was really well-liked in the community too.” In an interview two years ago, Simonton talked about his philosophies during his time at the paper. “I was taught to write tight,” Simonton said. “I don't think people do that today. My uncle (Alison Simonton) always said

Chief selects participate in annual clean-up day By FRANCE GASQUET fgasquet@covingtonleader.com The chief petty officer selectees arrived at 6:45 last Friday morning, ready for a 7 a.m. muster. Wearing long sleeves and armed with sunscreen, insect repellent and sunscreen, the sailors were prepared for a long day at the Tipton County Veteran’s Museum and Nature Center. This is the 15th year the museum has been honored with a Navy volunteer day, a day where more than 80 sailors from various commands at Naval Support Activity MidSouth perform grounds maintenance and facility upkeep. “We’re very grateful that the Navy helps to continuously improve the Tipton County facility,” said new museum

director Barrie Foster. “These officers are providing us with a huge assistance, not only the beautification, but the finan-

cial impact.” Based on retired director Alice Fisher’s calculations, Foster says this one day saves tax

payers more than $250,000. This community service project is one of many different undertakings the chief petty officer selectees- sailors selected for promotion to chief petty officer- perform during a six-week training process, including team building, leadership, community outreach and physical training. The training process is designed to prepare them for the increased duties and responsibilities as chiefs. “The museum means a lot to veterans and citizens," said Foster. “Veterans meet here on a regular basis for different ceremonies.” According to Jerome Uter ABEC (SEL) the program is designed to get selectees out of their comfort zone. “Normally we take charge of a group of people, we get SEE NAVY, PAGE A3

Q&A

FEATURING STEVE HOLT Age: 64 Family: Married to Linda; children: Stephen and Kathryn Morton (Brandon); grandchildren: Leah, Lawson and Libby Education: Dyersburg High School (1968), University of Tennessee at Martin (Bachelor of Arts 1972), Memphis State University (Master's Education 1976), graduate studies at Middlebury College (1972) in theatrical production and performance, University of Northern Colorado (77) in special education Vehicle: 2012 Ford F-150 Favorite music: The big bands of the 1930s and 40s, blues and vintage rock and roll Favorite food: John David's barbecue and his gumbo; frankly most anything he cooks. Favorite beverage: iced tea Favorite movie: "Death of a Salesman" Favorite book: “The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings” trilogy Favorite TV shows: “MASH,” “All in the Family,” “The Daily Show with John Stewart” and “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” kid. I had the lead in my high school senior play. I worked in the theatre at UT-Martin and was on the Student Government Entertainment Committee, which vetted professional acts for appearances at the school. Since I wrote for the school newspaper as well (writing is performing too), I got to interview such luminaries as Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles and The Supremes. I am a founding member of two community theatre groups and have performed in, directed and done a full range technical work in more than 50 dramas, comedies and musicals over the years. I have sung in church choirs and even in coffee houses in college. Now I perform 45-60 nights a year at CHS sporting events.

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 Steve Holt, who has been the voice of Covington High School athletics for 23 years and also covers CHS sports on a freelance basis for The Leader. Q: As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? A: I couldn't have verbalized it as a child, but I was always most comfortable performing for an audience. I don't know of anyone who doesn't like applause. I don't have stage fright. I guess, I have/ am living the dream. My experiences tell the tale. Like many, I was in school/ church skits and such as a

www.covingtonleader.com Q: What person had the biggest influence on you growing up and why? A: I was powerfully influenced in multiple ways by a number of people. It's tough to pick just one. Given my affinity for an audience, I will say my father. Dad was trustee in Dyer County for 23 years, retiring the year after I graduated high school. In the 1980s, he was elected to the Tennessee House of Representatives. He lived for politics, which in itself is a specialized performance art. Through him, I was exposed to a broad range of public figures and experiences that fed my liking for being before the crowd. My earliest memory of a big stage came during Bill Farris' run for governor in the late 1950s. A big rally was staged on the north steps of the Dyer County Courthouse. I was eight and was assigned the job of rolling former Governor Gordon Browning onto the stage in his wheelchair. Bright lights, crowd of a 1000 or so, cheers and applause. I didn't know they were not for me and I was hooked. Dad, in overt and subtle ways, gave me insights into how to get an audience of one, five, ten or 500 on your side. The first rule is "Work the whole room. Kiss all the women." Works like a charm. Q: What do you like to do in your spare time? A: I like to play golf, read and spend time with my family, especially enjoying the growing up of my grandchildren, and write for The Leader.

season, Westview's stud running back, whose name escapes me, took the handoff and went off left tackle. He was repelled, but not tackled. With a second effort, he lunged back at the goal line and stretched out the ball towards the goal line, but found only the waiting hands of Darron White, who proceeded to sprint 99-plus yards for the TD that gave CHS a 27-21 lead. I don't do play-by-play. That's not a PA announcer's job. My mentor, Mr. Charlie Elam, told me (and I heard it reaffirmed by the great Vin Scully last week): "Tell 'em what is going on and shut your mouth.” But this time, Don Clark, my faithful spotter since game one in football, had me by my belt and the back of my pants to keep me from falling out the press box because I was halfway out the window screaming into the microphone. I have no idea what I was saying. The win propelled Covington to an appearance in the 2000 Blue Cross Championship game where they fell to Portland. The other game came in the baseball playoffs in 2006. Covington and Ripley had battled to a 0-0 loser-gohome tie and went to extra innings. I think it was the bottom of the 10th when one of the best ever to don a CHS baseball uniform, Gunter Delashmit, came to the plate and launched a Tiger fastball up into the left field light standards for a 1-0 Charger win that

kept CHS in the hunt for what eventually proved to be Covington's second TSSAA baseball state championship. Q: What do you like most about calling games ? A: Announcing comes easy to me, but it takes a lot of preparation. I typically devote two to three hours preparing for every game, and then am "on stage" for two to three hours on game day. It is fun and frequently exciting, but it is also a lot of work. Some my be surprised, but a couple of things tangential to the games are what I enjoy the most. The first happens at every game. I am privileged to call the spectators to their feet to honor America with the playing and singing of my favorite song, "The Star Spangled Banner.” The second comes only once a season and at the end with senior night ceremonies. Whether the studentathletes are aware of it or night, after four years of announcing and writing about their performances on the field and the courts, I kind of feel like they are my kids too. I have come to know many over the years and still keep in touch with several who were special to me. It is affirming to me to have the honor of sharing their individual accomplishments with the crowds who have cheered them on during their time at CHS. Q:

What

does

expression “It's time to kick the tires and light the fires” you use to open football games mean and what is it's source? A: Basketball and baseball have an entirely different opening protocol than football. Players in those two sports are afforded individual introductions by name and position. In football, the team collectively sprints onto the field with no such introduction. I listen intently to the PA announcers at other high school college and professional sporting events for techniques and things to say to get a crowd going. I wanted something to say to bring the football team on the field, but struck out the first year. Early on, Dewayne Bennett began calling me "The Voice of the Chargers," alluding to the legendary John "Voice of the Vols" Ward. It would have been sacrilege to me to have paraphrased his iconic "It's Football Time in Tennessee.” Before the second season started I was watching "Top Gun" and heard what has become a signature for me: "It's time to kick the tires and light the fires." Only Tom Cheairs has ever questioned me about its use, as he had used it. It is a phrase used by military, an maybe even commercial pilots, saying that they are ready to start the engines and get going. – Jeff Ireland

the

Q: What is your fondest memory of announcing a Covington game ? A: I have several moments that come to mind, but two specifically stand out. The first is on the football field and the 2000 playoff quarterfinal miracle versus Martin Westview. CHS trailed 21-20 inside four minutes left in the fourth quarter. Poised to punch in a TD and end Covington's

Now, as a chief petty officer selectee, you become, “the chief” petty officer.” Silva explained why the day was so important to the chief selects. “We’re at 32 officer selectees right now,” said Silva. “Today, we’re working in teams and socializing with the chief’s mess in order for them to get to know us and us to know them. This is a team-building exercise, helping us to integrate into the chief’s mess. Today, there are two times as many chiefs here as us, so it’s a great opportunity. Many of the chiefs come to this event annually.” Uter also emphasized the importance of community service. “I’m a big advocate for community service,” said Uter. “We’re giving back to the community- a lot of civilians appreciate this facility.” Uter said he wanted to become a CPO mostly to lead people on a larger scale. “I hope I have a talent for leadership and can make an impact on sailors as much as my chiefs have on me in the past,” said Uter.

When we go out, we are together, this is another family.” The CPOs and officer selects spent the day cleaning the museum and clearing the 20 acres of land, which includes a wildlife sanctuary, trail, wetland and pond areas. “As Chief Petty Officers, we look forward to coming out to the Tipton County Museum, Veterans Memorial and Nature Center every year. It’s a very rewarding day for us and allows us to, in a small way, give back to the community by beautifying a facility that has a wealth of military heritage. I personally have a special bond with this event, as I was fortunate to be stationed here in 1999 when we first started the Navy Volunteer Day, and it is great to see that the tradition still carries on today,” said Command Master Chief Tuck Williams. The Navy Volunteer Day project is coordinated locally by the museum staff, Covington Parks and Recreation Director Amy Payne, Covington Public Works Director Robert Martin Simpson, and the supervisors of the street and sanitation division of Covington Public Works, Tim Fayne and Danny Brown.

It was necessary the way papers were made then because printers cut from the end of the story.” Simonton was also very involved in the community, serving as an officer at the Covington Chamber of Commerce and chairman of the Industrial Development Committee. He was a member of the Covington Board of Education and served as chairman during desegregation. He was an assistant football coach and officiated high school and college football games, as well as local basketball games. What he will probably most be remembered for is his work at The Leader where he served as a mentor for several employees. While he was very popular with his employees, he liked things done right. “One time he called me and asked if the Covington football

Scam alert

As an injury attorney, I am very unlikely to be targeted in a scam. But this is not true for my grandmother. Here are some current scams that seem to target our seniors. Obituary mining. In what must be a new low, scammers use all the information in the obituaries to assert to the widow or widower that their newly-deceased owed them some money. Sometimes, it is alleged to be a gambling David Peel debt that might smear Peel Law Firm the reputation of the beloved deceased. They hope that the confused and grieving widow might pay the “debt” to avoid embarrassment or a public lawsuit. Phone calls. Due to charming old-fashioned thoughts of courtesy, and loneliness, seniors make many more purchases over the phone than other age groups. The worst thing, is that if you fall for one of these, you get added to the unflattering data-

base known as the “sucker list.” Sometimes, new fakers then even call and offer to get the money back from the old fakers! They often use embarrassment as a weapon. If you feel you are getting scammed, do not be ashamed in front of your kids or grandkids. Let them help you. Sometimes, the phone calls allege a relative is in trouble and takes advantage of the willingness of the victim to help. Often, charity scams target the elderly. It has been widely reported that over 90 percent elder abuse is committed by a senior adult’s own family members like children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. The Nigerian scam, in one form or another, has hit our seniors hard. And no, you did not win the Canadian lottery. Sometimes, seniors will actually receive a real check that they then write “tax money” or “fees” from to the lottery. Days later the original check bounces and they have your money. Mr. Peel seeks justice for those injured in car accidents, work place incidents, medical malpractice, and nursing homes. He often addresses churches, clubs and groups without charge. Mr. Peel may be reached through PeelLawFirm.comwherein other articles may be accessed.

FLASHBACK

Losing Leader family members

You know you’re getting old when multiple people you used to work with start dying. That notion has hit me the last few years as so many members of The Leader family have passed away. George Whitley, the former publisher and editor who hired me in 1996, died in 2007. Since then several have followed, including his brother Larry Whitley, Rodney Eubank, Jack Harris Sr., David Byrd, Martha Jo Shelley and Bill Simpson. And then, on Friday, another former editor, Bill Simonton, died. I worked with all of them except Simonton and Eubank, whose departure from The Leader in 1996 created the vacancy I filled. At 42, I hope I still have some good years in me, but man, it gets you to thinking, particuarly as you write stories about these people. Many people in the comJEFF IRELAND TOTAL CONSCIOUSNESS munity knew these folks well, but I thought this would be a nice time to share a few things I observed about these people while working in the trenches at The Leader. George Whitley was the calmest boss I ever had by a long shot. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, there were a lot of people at the newspaper with, shall we say, strong personalities. My cubicle was right next to George’s office. There were many times I saw people enter his office screaming about one thing or another. But I never heard George raise his voice. He would remain seated, listen and smile while the complainant ranted, raved and eventually ran out of steam. Then he would talk about the problem and the party or parties who entered his office would quite often leave with a smile on their face. He was the ultimate peacemaker. His brother Larry, who worked as an ad salesman, was probably the nicest guy who worked at The Leader. On one occassion he pointed out an error I had made in a story about one of his customers. I believe I spelled the customer’s name incorrectly. Back then, and even now to a certain degree, I really didn’t care for the advertising department to stick their nose into editorial matters. Most critiques of my work were met with dismissive, or maybe even hostile, comments. But you couldn’t be mad at Larry. I accepted his criticism and went about my business. It was mainly because I had respect for the man, but also probably because every Wednesday, which was production day, he hand-delivered a doughnut to every employee. Little things like that matter. Jack was The Leader’s court jester. Sure, some of his views were politically incorrect and, at times, kind of offensive. When I was young and idealistic, sometimes he rubbed me the wrong way. But looking back, his heart was always in the right place. How can you not like a man who walks around the office singing, “It’s five o’clock somewhere.” Martha Jo did a little bit of everything around The Leader, but I remember her most for her proof reading prowess. Not too many typos got past her. I probably worked at The Leader for five years before I knew what David Byrd’s first name was. He was known simply as “Byrd.” He walked slowly and spoke in low tones while he did his thing in the print shop, but he was always good for a sarcastic comment. I work in sarcasm like Picasso worked with paint, so I always loved talking with him. As for Rodney and Bill Simonton, I got to know them even though I never worked with them. Simonton was nothing but class and Rodney, who served for several years as the county’s school board chairman, always helped me out when I was reporting on the school board and quite often had no idea what I was doing. Like most things in life, I didn’t fully appreciate my early days at The Leader. It wasn’t always fun, of course, but looking back, I realize I worked with a pretty special group of people.

would give a few lessons to follow in life. Not once do I remember any one of us gully jumpers ever interrupting or addressing them other than with a mister! Even the most cantankerous philosophers were shown respect, but it was for our own good. Vivid memories return as we were constantly reminded to obey our parents. Stay out of mischief, as it was the devils’ workshop. Often we were quizzed with, “Have you little boys said your prayers before bedtime?” Had we studied our Sunday school lesson? When you work for someone and they pay you, always do a good job. Most of the time, youngsters our age didn’t want to hear this preaching, but coming from these older sages, we were very attentive. Maybe we didn’t want to let them down. They really helped us, so out of respect, we always agreed. The memories, help, character, respect, hardworking, teachings, caring and the foundation the senior citizens left on some country boys will never be forgotten. They are etched in our minds to this day, just how blessed we were to have known such great individuals. Heroes come in all sizes, shapes, forms and in the strangest of places. My only regret today is I never had the opportunity to shake all their hands and tell them how much I appreciate their kind, yet strict words helping to mold and shape not only my life but my dear loved ones as well. Traditions in the wonderful South are a great memory….Glory!

Marilyn “Sweetie” Burnett Driver May 6, 1953 – August 2, 2014 On May 6, 1953, a beautiful baby girl was born to Frank Burnett and Almedia Pruitt Burnett in Covington, Tennessee. They named her Marilyn, and she was the sixth of 14 children. As she grew, she was such a delightful child and loved so dearly by her parents and siblings that she acquired the nickname “Sweetie.” Marilyn accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized at St. John Missionary Baptist Church in Covington. She later joined Bethlehem Baptist Church in Ripley where she served as an usher and a faithful member of the church. Her joy in serving the Lord became apparent a few years ago when she united with the Word of Faith Church in Dyersburg. She blossomed in her spiritual growth under the leadership of Bishop Bobby and Sister Nancy Besbit. She had found her true earthly church home. She had a fervent love for Jesus Christ and for her church family; she was always recruiting for Jesus and for Word of Faith. Marilyn was a 1971 graduate of Covington High School and was employed with Warwick Electronics, Maremont, Komatsu and Nordyne until she realized her health and her family were more important. She married Myron Driver, the love of her life, on July 27, 1985, and to this union, one loving son was born. Marilyn’s greatest legacy was her love for her family. Her love and generosity were immeasurable and beyond compare. She was a faithful wife, a devoted mother, an extraordinary daughter and sister. She had a warm, compassionate spirit and a fun-loving nature that will be remembered by her husband; son Myron Andrew Driver; stepson Andrew Driver (Doris) of Memphis; stepdaughter Myra Jackson (Cornelius) of Newbern; mother Almedia Burnett of Covington; brothers Frank Burnett Jr. (Harolyn) of Pontiac, Mich., Charles Burnett of Southfield, Mich., Michael Burnett of Arlington, Texas, Bobby Burnett (Patricia), Ottway Burnett and Andrew Burnett, all of Covington; sisters Louise McBride (John), Quanita McGregor and Angelia Robertson (James), all of Covington, Gloria Talison (David) of Southfield, Mich., Galyia Burnett of Milwaukee, Wisc., Tama Hubbard of Memphis and Kimberly Holland (Mike) of Atoka; aunts Estella Pruitt, Nadine Brown and Lorine Burnett, all of Covington; great aunt Martha Nee Johnson of Covington; a special nephew that she called her other baby, Jami Burnett of Atlanta, Ga.; goddaughter ZaKariya Watson Driver of Union City; eight step-grandchildren and four step-greatgrandchildren. She also leaves a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends to mourn her passing. Marilyn “Sweetie” Burnett Driver, 61, entered into eternal peace on Saturday, August 2, 2014 at Baptist East Hospital in Memphis. We are thankful for many wonderful years that we had together. She was a very special person. She always managed a beautiful smile, even when she was not feeling her best. She as a joy to be around and we will miss her very much. We will miss our conversations, our family gatherings and our “sisterly” fun. Marilyn lived her faith every day and we owe it to her to show our faith and keep her beautiful memory alive. Marilyn would say to us “It is well with my soul!” Seek the Lord while He may be found; call on Him while He is near. (Isaiah 55:6) The Leader (Covington, Tenn.) Thursday, August 21, 2014

It is our hope to grow this event to impact more and more lives in Tipton County.” Baptist Tipton's Camp Wellness will celebrate healthy lifestyle choices by having face painting, games for the kids, as well as the touchdown of the Hospital Wing 10:30 a.m. The first 300 children to attend will receive a backpack at this all-ages event. Additional highlights include “Get Fit Antarctica,” a program where participants document walking the distance from Tipton County to Antarctica and then receive a postcard from Antarctica. Community education and demonstrations will be available as well, on numerous topics including immunizations, fitness programs, bullying, child abuse prevention, healthy snack ideas and cooking demonstrations. “This is the first year that Baptist Tipton has held the back-to-school health fair,” said Lynd. “Our goal is to increase community awareness of

COMMENTARY

Warning of troublesome times The Bible speaks of the but the Father. 33 Take condition of the world ye heed, watch and pray: when the Lord Jesus for ye know not when returns to the time is.) establish His Obviously millennial we live in reign from difficult Jerusalem. times. The Wars and racial divide rumors of in America wars, ethnic is distressdivisions, ing. God and spiritual made us all deception whatever will mark skin tone those days. and color we FREEMAN WEEMS Sound fahave. What FIRST BAPTIST ATOKA miliar? These should be a very things cause for honare marking the times oring the Lord has bein which we live. Now come a cause for hatred don’t get me wrong, I and strife. Financially, am most emphatically America is deeper in not setting a date nor debt than ever. For most predicting the return of of us, the idea of owing the Lord Jesus at any massive sums of money particular time. If, in is the result of bad His humanity, the Lord planning, government Himself said that He did interference, and lack of not know, it is presumpconcern for the comtion on a grand scale for mon man. The Middle a man to set a date and East appears ready to time. (Mark 13: 32, But explode into all-out war. of that day and that hour The Sunni Muslim group knoweth no man, no, not ISIL/ISIS is as vicious the angels which are in an organization as has heaven, neither the Son, ever existed. Though

the scope of things is not as large, the Nazi terror was no worse than these people. Our elected representatives are no longer worthy of our complete trust. It is a sad day when we have just come to accept that they will lie to us and call it “spin.” As election time draws near, the political lies and distortions increase. We live in difficult times indeed. Christ’s admonitions to us are simple. We are not to be deceived by those who claim to speak for Him when they clearly do not line up with the Word of God. It is our responsibility to measure all things by the Scriptures. Isaiah 8:20, “To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” He told us to be watchful and aware. Watchfulness requires that we stay in touch with our Lord. Those who habitually neglect spending time with Christ in

private devotions will not be awake to spiritual things. The numbing effect of the world and its system of entertainment can be overwhelming. Matthew 24:12, “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” Watchfulness demands attention and discernment. It is likely that persecution of Christians will increase instead of decreasing. As we see these things occurring we are to not allow them to discourage us. God is on His throne and will not suffer wickedness to reign. His return is imminent. Personally, I believe the Rapture of the New Testament church is nigh. I may well be wrong, but I am looking. No signs point to the Rapture. All signs in the Bible point to His return in power and glory when every eye shall see Him. Are you being watchful?

Salem Baptist Church will be hosting a food giveaway and community empowerment event in the Pizza Hut parking lot, 829 Hwy. 51 North in Covington, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The public is welcomed to attend. For more information, see www. salemchurch.us.

Giving kids a Head Start

Program has been serving the community for 24 years By FRANCE GASQUET fgasquet@covingtonleader.com Head Start gives children in Tipton County a head start. The program, which began in 1990, recently held an open house. This year, the program will serve112 families in Tipton County. Using a creative curriculum to teach literacy and math, Head Start has been a relevant part of this community for 24 years. From year-round care for the very youngest of children to toddler-age and also a nine-month program for children up to age five, the staff practices strategy goals, cognitive development and the social and emotional pieces of early schooling. “One thing I really appreciate about Head Start is that we look at the entire child and the family,” said Tonda Emerson, area specialist for the Northwest Tennessee Head Start/Early Head Start program. “So we even look at the health piece, if a child is in pain or has a toothache or something of that nature, then we know he’s not going to be able to learn. Making sure they are updated on their physicals, they are updated with their immunization records. If not, then we provide that assistance that they need.” If a child isn’t covered by insurance or TennCare, then the program will pay the costs, to ensure he or she is healthy and well-prepared for the future. The children receive two USDA

guideline meals a day and if the child is in aftercare or in the early Head start program, a snack is also provided. “Head Start currently has a waiting list, but takes applications year round. We never stop accepting applications. Any time a parent wants to come in and put and application in, we always will take them,” Emerson said. Everything is free, there is no cost to the parent, and in the case of Early Head Start, even diapers and Pull-Ups are free. Children may remain in the program until age five. “Children with disabilities, they go to the top of the waiting list,” said Emerson. “It is mandated that at least 10 percent of our children have disabilities. All the teachers are trained to use strategy goals and something called ‘Second Steps,’ which works with the emotional aspects of the children and all the staff is trained in medication, CPR and first aid.” Emerson recalls a recent success story. “We now have an assistant teacher who came to us as a volunteer,” she said. “She then began to sub and now has been hired as an assistant teacher. We love to empower our parents, which in turn, empowers the entire family.” The Tipton County Head Start/Early Head Start is located at 410 Alston Avenue in Covington. The hours are 8-2 Monday through Thursday and 8- noon Friday. For more information, call (901) 476-7488 or email Emerson at temerson@ nwtnhs.org.

Samuel Gray, a ninth grader at Covington High School, has been nominated to attend the Congress of Future Medical Leaders in Washington, D.C. Nov. 14-16. The Congress is an honors-only program for high school students who want to become physicians or go into medical research fields. The purpose of this event is to honor, inspire, motivate and direct the top students in the country who aspire to be physicians or medical scientists, to stay true to their dream and, after the event, to provide a path, plan and resources to help them reach their goal. During the three-day Congress, Samuel will join students from across the country and hear Nobel LaureGRAY ates and National Medal of Science winners talk about leading medical research; be given advice from Ivy League and top medical school deans on what is to expect in medical school; witness stories told by patients who are living medical miracles; be inspired by fellow teen medical science prodigies; and learn about cutting-edge advances and the future in medicine and medical technology. “We are extremely proud of Sam for having this honor bestowed upon him,” said Sam’s mother, Mrs. Natalie Gray. “The whole family including his brother, sister, and grandparents are so very proud that he is going to be able to have discussions with noble prize winning, medical scienists. He is also going to get the chance to meet top Google science fair winners. We are very happy that he is going to get to expand his horizons and the chance for more exciting opportunities.”

Tipton County and the Civil War By RUSSELL BAILEY County Historian Retreat from Missionary Ridge November 25-27, 1863 Continued: Due to the illness of Gen. Marcus J. Wright, Col. John H. Anderson commanded the brigade on Nov. 25. By 9 a.m., Wright’s brigade, including Lt. Col. John Gracey Hall’s 51st/52d Tennessee regiment, were marching farther to the left where they remained until near dark, cutting trees and arranging them into breastworks. Afterwards, the brigade reported to Gen. Lucius E. Polk (Cleburne’s division) near the railroad bridges over the Chickamauga. Wright’s brigade was deployed in line of battle with two batteries of artillery. Hall’s 51st and 52d Tennessee was near the center of the line with Scoggins’ battery. About 4 p.m., Bragg sent orders to Wright’s brigade to leave a regiment near the railroad bridges and Chickamauga Creek. With the balance of the brigade and

artillery, he was to move to the bridge at Shallow Ford, two miles higher up South Chickamauga Creek. Once there, the regiments and artillery were to take position and protect the north bank of the bridge and ford and “to resist the enemy to the last extremity.” The brigade was to remain there until all of the retreating Confederates had passed over, then, destroy the bridge and bring up the rear. Hall’s 51st and 52d Tennessee was directed to guard the ford while the remainder of the brigade remained at the bridge. At midnight, scouts informed Col. Anderson the Confederate troops had passed over. It took the men of Wright’s brigade two hours of hard labor to destroy the bridge. (They had to cut away at the bridge, the timbers being green and would not burn.) The brigade then marched the two miles to Chickamauga Station, arriving about 3 a.m. and resumed the retreat. Lt. Col. John Hall reported the 51st/52d Tennessee lost one barefooted soldier, presumed captured. Wright’s brigade wagon train had the

misfortune of being attacked by Federal cavalry. Nearly all the vehicles were captured, including one belonging to Tennessee Governor Isham G. Harris. Several reasons caused the Confederate disaster at Missionary Ridge: faulty troops dispositions, preponderance of the Union forces and the diminution of Confederate strength besieging Chattanooga. From the battlefield, a Richmond, Va. newspaper correspondent wrote at midnight: “The Confederates have sustained today the most ignominious defeat of the whole war—a defeat for which there is but little excuse or palliation. For the first time during our struggle for national independence, our defeat is chargeable to the troops themselves and not to the blunder or incompetency of their leaders. It is difficult for one to realize how a defeat so complete could have occurred on ground so favorable.” George Maney’s brigade, Walker’s division, had supported Cleburne’s stalwart division in the repulse of Sherman. Capt. James I. Hall of Mt. Carmel, commanding

Co. C, 6th and 9th Tennessee infantry, recalled the night of Nov. 25th: “After eating our supper without the slightest suspicion of what had really taken place, we lay down about 9 o’clock and were preparing for a good night’s rest. About that time, an orderly came along with orders to us to move quietly and rapidly to the rear…Our lines were immediately formed…We moved a quiet and orderly way five miles to the rear across Chickamauga Creek. Why General Grant did not pursue us that night and capture our whole army has always been a mystery to me… “We were from 9 until 12 a.m.—three hours in marching these 5 miles as we had to cross Chickamauga Creek on a railroad bridge…After sleeping about 3 hours, our brigade with (state rights) Gist’s South Carolina brigade, were formed in line of battle facing toward the enemy whom we were momentarily expecting.We remained in this position from 3 o’clock a.m. until after sunrise.” Continued next week

Almyra Libby Click Hi everyone. The last week had such beautiful and nice breezy days and comfortable temperatures, and then Sunday afternoon everything changed. Man, that storm was somewhat frightening. The highs reaching 100 degrees makes us realize summer is not over yet, even though schools have begun. We needed the rain desperately! I thought my dog was going to go crazy as the thunder continued. Country Creations will be having a grand opening soon. They are in the process of re-doing the entire interior, which has taken a little longer than planned. However, he is still taking orders for various items he is making, such as mantles, bookcases, rocking chairs or anything you may want. He is a very talented gentleman. There are also items inside the store that were

Jamestown DarSay Burton Here we are again, another day older or maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another day wiser? Whatever it is, may we give praise and all thanks to God. Congratulations once more to cousin Jessie Cooke of Jamestown, upon his baptism this past Sunday morning at Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grace Gospel Church with Pastor O. Pearl Andrews officiating and Deacon David Burton (her brother), of Castasdia Baptist Church in Memphis, assisted in this wonderful event. Surrounded by Jessieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife Gwen were his family, children and grandchildren. A lovely repast was held at the lovely Jamestown home of John Sr. and Jacinta Jones, GGGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s officersin-training.

Congratulations to the Burton family as a few days ago, two lovely babies were born, a boy and a girl. Mr. and Mrs. David Brown Sr., now of Georgia, welcomed another daughter on Aug. 9 and Mr. and Mrs. Jeremiah Burton welcomed their first grandson on July 26 in Memphis. Charles Mosley is reportedly back on campus at UT-Knoxville after a recent auto accident and doing fine, so are his parents, Jeffery Sr. and Janet, who were also in the same accident. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keep all of them in our prayers. Bright Hill Church and Pastor D. Sanders feted all of the youth after service Sunday morning with a

lovely cookout along with plenty of back to school gear, sponsored by Janet Mosley. Jamestown Community Health Organization (JCHO) met last Saturday at GGG Church. The annual fundraiser, for October, sponsored by JCHO will be held Oct. 18, from 6-9 p.m. at the old Brighton High School in Brighton.

ber. Happy birthday David Burton (Aug. 19), Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Alvin Brown (Aug. 21) and also Princess Allen (Aug.19) and Tammica Sherril (Aug. 17). Congratulations to Princess Allen and her husband on the arrival of twin daughters a few weeks ago, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re members at North Star Community Church with Pastor Steven Miller Sr. of Memphis. We are in prayer for Ruth Alston, Min. Pink Sherrill Jr., Eugene Baker, Joseph Heaston Sr., Evelyn Draine Vergis and Charlene Sneed. This is all at this time. Remember, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pieces of the past are mirrors to the future!â&#x20AC;?

Schuetrumpfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eagle project was to replace all of the 120 window screens on the buildings, and a lot of them had to be made from scratch, frame and all! It was great help. Then a couple of years ago, Chris Lemonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Eagle project was to clean, scrape and paint all the window frames and the wrought iron on the directorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house. So if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested, please give me a call, I have plenty more projects! We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any more birthdays this month, but we do have several next time, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll put those in my notes next week in case youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to send a birthday card to any of our residents. They would love that! Just a little note saying you remembered them

would make their day! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so hard for me to believe school has started back. It seems as if the summer was so doggone short this year. Maybe because it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as hot as it usually is, but hey, I can handle that now! Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right up my alley. I keep thinking itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to get summer, but then you look at the calendar and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming up on fall! The report from New Generation Church this morning was a good one; the church is having a wonderful turn out and hearts are being blessed by the Lord through Pastor Terry Hilliard. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out knocking on doors and inviting people all over the county, bless his heart! The church doors (our

fellowship hall) open every Sunday morning about 10, with services at 10:30. This coming Sunday, hamburgers and hot dogs will be cooked outside on the grill, so please come for fellowship. Pastor Hilliard is so wonderful to all the residents here; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s constantly doing something for them and they all love him so much. God bless him and Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ministry here! Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just for our residents, but the whole community, so please come! Until next weekâ&#x20AC;ŚGod take care of all of you! As always, give somebody a hug and tell them you love them!

Turner and Justine Blackmon who were married at the historic Mt. Carmel Presbyterian Church last night! Best wishes, Mr. and Mrs. Turner! Next Sunday, Aug. 24, is the date of the annual Watkins reunion for the descendants of Ed and Nettie Belle Crump Watkins. The reunion will be held at the Covington Church of Christ fellowship hall, from 1 p.m.-ish. There is always some good food there! Also that night is the annual ice cream supper at church! My sincere sympathy goes to Johnny Jones in the death of his son, Eric Jones, who taught Clint and Liz at Crestview. All that family is in my prayers. It is so sad; he lost his wife Shirley last year, I think. Dale and Shirley Laxton, Donna Sonwineski, Larry Whaley II, Steve Parker, Charlie Hardin and so many more are on our prayer list, especially those taking treatments and all servicemen and women. The birthday party at Coving-

ton Care will be at 2:30 p.m on Aug. 23. The 31st is a fifth Sunday, so there will be one service at the Covington Church of Christ, 9 a.m. for Sunday School and 10 a.m. for worship service. Also that day, the CIA picnic will be held at the park and KIXACTS devotional is at Grant and Crystal Edmonds' home. Happy birthday this week goes to Tim Gatlin on Aug. 17, to David Nance and Austin Phillips on the 19th and Aubrey Billings on the 23rd! Happy anniversary to Tracy and Tricia Speight on Aug. 22 and to Alan and Debbie Otts and Brian and Shelley Dickey on the 23rd! From Clopton United Methodist Church: bishops Bill McAlilly and Robert Schnase will be at Collierville United Methodist Church on Saturday, Aug. 23, for a meeting of clergy and laity. Contact Brother John Jones if you would like to attend. Next Sunday, the 24th, everyone with an August birthday is invited for coffee, juice and donut holes at 10:30 a.m. in the family

life building. On Sunday, Aug. 31, we will receive a special offering for Bread of Life Food Pantry at Covington First UMC. Catching up on August birthdays: happy birthday to Rachel Carpenter, Sandy Regis and Brittany Boland on Aug. 3, to Gillee Carver, Kinlee Carver and Steve Wisemiller on the 4th, to Althea Chind on the 11th, to Linda Abare on the 13th, to Jackson Aylward, Collin Boswell and Buddy Boyd on the 14th, to Robert Nelson Sr. on the 15th and to Amy Carpenter and Amy Permenter on the 17th! "Thanks for reading" this week goes to Judy Randolph and Shawn Anderson! Sa-lute! This week's Farmer's Almanac quote: "For good fortune, place salt and pepper shakers on the kitchen shelf before carrying furniture inside a new home." I love stuff like this! The leaves are already changing up North according to the television; does that mean an early Fall?

Dunlap Retirement Center Kathy Keiter Hello everyone, I sure hope youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all had a great week! We have too; it was a little warmer this week and more rain but we surely needed that! We are finally getting our sidewalks fixed byâ&#x20AC;Śyes, you guessed it, another boy scout who is doing his Eagle scout project. Yay! The old part of the sidewalk has been in pretty bad shape now for about three or four years, and James Swope came to our rescue! Thank you to James and all the other scouts who are learning from him. The sidewalks are beautiful! Did you know that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible to concrete over another slab of concrete sidewalk? I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure there are many men who do concrete

for a living and are aware of this. James found two, yes two, more layers of sidewalk underneath the one they tore out! The work has been a little bit more than he thought it was going to be! As a matter of fact, probably a lot more! But he and the crew are hanging in there and getting it done! I am so glad that the residents will be able to walk the entire distance around the campus without fear of tripping on the uplifted sidewalk. It looks so good, thank you young men! I have plenty of Eagle projects for two or three more scouts, so please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to call me for information. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll remember a few years ago, Stephen

Mt.Carmel-Clopton Elaine Watkins It's a sunny Sunday, but I'm wishing for rain, which is North of us now, and the wind is blowing from the South. We're getting where we need some rain again! This week's farm report: The corn is really drying out fast and I love going out there, especially at night, and listening to the rustle of it. Soybeans are still doing well, but could use some rain, and cotton is having a hard time with the cool days and nights. Cotton likes hot nights. I rode to Jackson last Tuesday with NRCS secretary Danille Schlauch and we had a good meeting, ending with a speaker from Discovery Park in Union City and a barbequed rib and chicken luncheon. Afterwards, she was happy to drive me by Regency Retirement to see my dad, Ken Weir. He has stopped talking but smiled when I walked down the hall toward him. I was glad to get home and change back into my jeans and

walked in to the odor of skunk! Ugh - not again! James had just come in from burying one that was in the back yard and we raised the windows and cleared the air in the house. It was unseasonably cool that day, so having the windows up was nice. Clint was already there since the boys had been to a fish fry at the Co-op. And Courtney came by soon after I got home, and in a little bit, Liz and Lyla! It was nice sitting around the kitchen table, talking to all of them, with a nice breeze blowing in. Liz and Lyla stayed and ate supper with us. All-in-all, it was a good day except for the skunk! I guess I've been in a cleaning mood because the seasons will change soon. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve washed down all the appliances and cabinet doors, waxed all the vinyl floors and finished cleaning out all the cabinets and drawers, kitchen and bathroom, and am putting new shelf paper down. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad that's all done! Congratulations to Brett ""Petey"

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com At this point, Marty Wheeler and J.R. Kirby are probably tired of talking about their season opener Friday night in Covington. It's pretty well documented that Kirby, Munford's first-year head coach, served as an assistant at Covington under Wheeler when the Chargers advanced to the state semifinals in 2011 and the title game a season later. When ball is kicked off tomorrow night, that subplot will be forgotten by the players and coaches and the game will be decided by runs, passes, tackles, penalties, etc. Nevertheless, as the game approaches,

it's hard to believe it won't be in the back of the minds of two head coaches who will be looking to go 1-0 at the expense of their former co-worker. “I'll be honest with you,” Wheeler said. “At this point, we'll give Munford their due attention for sure this week, but we really need to focus on what we need to do get better. We will spend the week on both areas.” “It's a rivalry,” Kirby said. “It dates back, but it's not about me. It's not about Coach Wheeler. It's about these kids.” The teams are coming off seasons that could not be much different. Covington went undefeated in district play, won eight games and earned a home playoff game. Munford, meanwhile, won just two

games and saw its coach suspended before he resigned midway through season. But on the field, the two teams figure to have some similarities. Both teams will be breaking in new quarterbacks (Malcolm Taylor at Covington and Jacob Ross at Munford) and will deploy a style that focuses on running the ball and playing solid defense. At Friday night's jamboree, Munford's offensive line lined up with very tight splits and ran the ball a lot right up the middle. Covington showed a little bit of a different look with Taylor lining up in a shotgun several times, but the play selection was still run-heavy, as is Covington's SEE FOOTBALL, PAGE A20

Continued from A19 tradition. There's little doubt the two coaches and friends held some things back at the jamboree. That doesn't figure to be the case Friday night. “We're going to get their best shot and they're going to get our best shot,” Kirby said. “We just hope to come out the winner. The thing is, it will be emotional. I can't say it won't. I know a lot of those guys. I'm still close friends with some of them, but there's no bones about it. There won't be any phone calls this week. Come 7:30, no doubt they're the enemy.”

JAMBOREE Continued from A19

With 15 seconds left, firstyear quarterback Austin Kelley hit Deavius Terry on a 31-yard touchdown pass. First-year Brighton coach Robin Jacobs said he was happy with the way his team recovered after a sluggish start. “We kept playing hard,” Jacobs said. “That's the biggest thing. We're happy with what we did. We're still a work in progress, but don't give up on us just yet. We're a long way from the finish line.”
