Student threatens another with knife Immediate response quickly ends situation

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com

As students were arriving at Munford High School Tuesday morning, a situation was brewing. Thanks to a student's quick report, a student in possession of a knife who was threatening another student was taken into custody. The whole situation lasted five minutes, said principal Dr. Courtney Fee, and went exactly as safety plans hoped it would. "No one was hurt and the

student was dealt with within 20 minutes," she said. "Our first priority is making sure everyone is safe and that they feel safe." Because the students are juveniles, names are not released to the public, however it is understood the two students had been involved in a romantic relationship at some point. Fee said it was another student who alerted school

officials about the weapon, resulting in the school going into lockdown, or Code Red. "We practice codes and so we hope that if a child was to see that, they'd report it." The school's administrators and resource officer Penny Barnes work closely together to make the school as safe as they can for students. In addition to locking all doors, now schools have a system where visitors have to

be buzzed in by office staff. That, however, will not keep students, or anyone, from carrying hidden weapons into the building, a flaw according to parent Cimberly Howard. " Safety is a big issue, a big issue," she said. "There's a lot of things that go on here. If a knife can go through, a gun can go through, drugs can go through, anything can happen."

Naifehâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changes formats By FRANCE GASQUET fgasquet@covingtonleader.com Have you been by the new Naifehâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yet? Yes, Naifehâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, a Tipton County fixture for the last 113 years, is new; or new and improved. The Covington Naifehâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, located at 738 Highway 51, is now Naifehâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cash Saver, having just received a significant remodeling and a new look. Over the course of less than a week, cases were removed, floors scrubbed, new drains cut and shelves removed. The lights were replaced in the store. The store was literally cleaned to the core. New deli cases as well as a new donut case were installed. Food was restocked and groceries retagged. The main difference, though, is the new pricing structure. Instead of suggested retail price, all items are priced at cost plus 10 percent at checkout to cover the storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overhead. According to owner Judson Naifeh, the prices were marked down 20 to 30 percent when the store was reset. Now, for a bag of Frito-Lay chips, the Cash Saver price is $2.32 plus 10 percent added at check out, for an actual price of $2.55 before tax; nearly a dollar less than the suggested retail price of $3.49. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the cost to get it on the

shelf,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as low as you can buy it.â&#x20AC;? In addition to the new look and new pricing, there is a new craft beer section, including a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mix a Sixâ&#x20AC;? selection where six different beers can be added to a six pack, therefore allowing a person to sample new tastes of beer without committing to buy a whole six pack. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mix a Sixâ&#x20AC;? is priced at $7.50 plus 10 percent at the register. Naifeh chose to change to the new pricing structure and marketing plan based on the fluctuating economy and an effort to stay competitive in the market place. He spent several months amassing information before deciding on Cash Saver by Associated Wholesale Grocers, the co-op food distributor that supplies over 19,000 independent grocers around the country. Naifehâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Cash Saver celebrates itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grand opening Thursday, April 4 at 10 a.m. Said Dana Naifeh, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We owe so much to this community. We love you all and we feel the love from you as well. We have a lot of history together and we look forward to making more history with you all in the future.â&#x20AC;?

The Board of Education for Tipton County Schools recently discussed the upcoming open enrollment, which will begin in the Fall 2014 school year. The discussion of Board Policy 6.206 took place during the March school board meeting. The policy states that parents will have the opportunity to transfer students from their zoned school to other schools in the system beginning this fall. There is not Director of Operations of much room for Tipton County movement. Schools, Charlotte Fisher, and her DR. CHARLOTTE FISHER committee are Director of Operations,Tipton tasked with the County Schools process of creating a seamless enrollment process, ensuring that the upcoming transition is smooth for all schools, parents, students and administration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are progressing smoothly,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Fisher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is our intent to have this as part of our board policy and after a review by the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney, we plan to present our process for approval to the board.â&#x20AC;? The operations committee has reviewed other district guidelines to develop an implementation plan for open enrollment, including the systems of Shelby County, Metro Nashville, Jackson Madison and Wilson County/Knox County. Dr. Fisherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentation at last Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board meeting included discussion regarding the capacity of each school building and how capacity is defined as well as priority preferences for transfer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest obstacle that students who want to transfer will face is if there is adequate space available. There is not much room for movement,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Fisher.

Ruffin extends ‘Cline’s’ run By SHERRI ONORATI Special to The Leader If the recent crowds at the Historic Ruffin Theater are an indication, the music of Patsy Cline still has the power to move people. The theater’s two-week run of "A Closer Walk With Patsy Cline" was to end on March 30, but the crowds have overwhelmingly shown that the public is still in love with beloved country legend. In response, the Ruffin Theater has extended the play for an additional weekend. The local community theater’s production is a 90-minute musical tribute which follows the life story of Cline. Written by Dean Regan and endorsed by the Patsy Cline Estate, "A Closer Walk With Patsy Cline" delights theater patrons with her greatest hits and showcases her career at various junctions in her life, including her time at WINC Radio, Carnegie Hall, Las Vegas and the Grand Ole Opry. The second play of the Ruffin

Theater’s 2014 season, "A Closer Walk With Patsy Cline" is directed by Kay Bridgewater and assisted by Jeanie Nelson. The play is sponsored by ADL - Athletic Driven Labs. A newcomer to the Ruffin stage, Brighton resident Amber McCain, plays the lead role of Patsy Cline. Although new to the Ruffin, it’s evident that McCain is no stranger to the stage and her impressive performance delivers a heart-stopping rendition of Cline, driving many in the audience to tears. Supporting cast members, as well as the live band, make this Ruffin production one not to be missed and play attendees have left many positive comments on the Ruffin’s Facebook page in support of the show. “Her voice was amazing,” commented Joelle Davis of Memphis. “It’s crazy that we have that kind of talent right here in Tipton County and didn’t know it. She should be on Broadway for sure!” Ginny Rae Oceguera of Brighton

left her message of support saying, “It was like listening to a radio tuned to the classics. What a beautiful voice.” “I knew this was going to be a great play but I am stunned and grateful at the amount of support it has generated,” said director Kay Bridgewater. “We have had people come back two and three times to watch it again. The entire cast and band members are simply amazing – I promise you won’t regret coming!” The final three shows of "A Closer Walk With Patsy Cline" will be on stage at the Ruffin Theater, 113 W. Pleasant Ave., Covington on Friday, April 4 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, April 6 at 2 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $12 for adults and $8 for children 3-17, seniors 55+ and military with ID card and can be purchased online for any night at www.ruffintheater.org or at the Covington-Tipton County Chamber of Commerce. Tickets purchased online will be available for pickup at the Ruffin Box Office on performance nights 90 minutes before the show starts.

Special Olympics in need of volunteers By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com The Area VIII Special Olympics games will take place soon and organizers are looking to the public for help. Volunteers, said volunteer coordinator Mary Cass Stewart, are need for the April 23 event. "I don't think people

realize how many people it takes to pull this event off every year," she said. Each year, an estimated 400 students compete in the games, which take place at Brighton High School. Tipton County students account for half of those; Haywood, Lauderdale and Crockett counties also have students competing.

Stewart said 200 volunteers are needed from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. to help make the games successful. They will be helping with games, awards and more. "All volunteers complete a volunteer form with personal information and must sign an agreement for a background check,"

she said. "These are not completed on every volunteer, but every volunteer is subject to a background check." For their participation, volunteers will receive a free t-shirt and lunch. If interested, please contact Stewart by calling 901-476-4632 or sending an email to mstewart@tipton-county. com.

Van Lamond Chaney, 19, of Sadler School Road, and John Henry Taylor, 23, of South College Street, were arrested and charged with robbery and theft of property over $1,000. The two reportedly admitted to hitting Polk in the face and robbing him. At the time of the

robbery, Taylor was on probation and faces additional charges. Bond for both men was set at $50,000.

Two arrests made in grocery store theft By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com A domestic dispute led to two arrests in the March 27 burglary of Bucksnort Grocery. According to the Tipton County Sheriff's Office, early that morning, deputies responded to an alarm call at the Highway 59 West business to find it'd been burglarized. Surveillance video showed the suspect was armed with a shotgun and fled the scene in a silver four-door sedan. An hour later, Covington police responded to the Broadmeadow apartment complex after shots were reportedly fired during an

argument. The suspect – Jeremy Kilpatrick – left the apartment in a vehicle matching the description of the one involved in the Bucksnort Grocery burglary. Nearly 10 hours later, detectives found the 22-year-old Mason man on foot at the apartment complex. After a foot pursuit, Kilpatrick and a 16-year-old were arrested. They were found to be in possession of the shotgun believed to be used in both crimes. The gun was stolen from a Madison County home. "I commend the deputies and detectives on the great police work and quick arrest of these suspects," said sheriff

Pancho Chumley. Kilpatrick has been charged with burglary, theft of property, vandalism and felon in possession of a firearm. Covington Police Department has filed charges on Kilpatrick related to the domestic incident. He remains in custody awaiting his Tipton County General Sessions Court arraignment. The juvenile has been petitioned on charges of burglary, vandalism and theft of property. The juvenile was released to his parent awaiting his appearance in Tipton County Juvenile Court. Kilpatrick and the juvenile both face multiple charges in Madison County.

VERDICT

Brighton man convicted of meth, gun charges On Wednesday, March 26, a Tipton County jury returned verdicts of guilty as charged to the class b felony offense of initiation of manufacture of methamphetamine, the class c felony offense of possession of firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony (two counts), the class d felony offense of promotion of methamphetamine manufacture, and the class a misdemeanor offense of resisting arrest, against James Robert Christensen Jr. of Brighton, following a one-day jury trial in Covington. Christensen was originally indicted in November 2013, and charged with the above crimes related to an investigation involving the manufacture of methamphetamine on Aug. 3, 2013 at his residence located at 342 Beaver Creek Lane in Brighton. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for Friday, May 2 in the Tipton County Circuit Court.

The district attorney’s office would like to thank the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office for their excellent police work in investigating and arresting the defendant in this case, and would further like to recognize Assistant District Attorney General Walt Freeland, who did an outstanding job in preparing and presenting this violent case to the jury. “This case demonstrates the continuing commitment of the district attorney’s office in aggressively prosecuting and holding accountable any person who commits methamphetamine and weapons offenses in this district, and I am glad that we were able to achieve justice for the community in this case,”said District Attorney General Mike Dunavant.

Covington has new cut-off policy By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com Good news for residents with higherthan-normal gas and water bills: relief is in the future. The extremely cold winter brought high bills to most Covington residents and a new cut-off policy is aimed at helping customers keep their water flowing and their homes warm

during times of high use. The new policy allows customers with bills of $400 or more to get a 10 business day extension for payment if they pay at least half of their bill before the cut-off list leaves the office. "We had to come up with a solution for customers who contact us for help," said Olean Anderson, who has worked with utility billing for more than two

decades. Customers who take advantage of the policy will also have the $50 reconnect fee waived, Anderson said. The grace period on payments is generally seven business days. Utility payments may now also be made online through the city's redesigned website, covingtontn.com, for an extra fee.

KNIFE

Continued from A1 Tuesday that a student recently set fire to toilet paper inside a school bathroom. That said, Munford and other Tipton County schools are relatively safe. As soon as the situation was reported, Fee said, Barnes stepped into action. Being in possession of a weapon on school property is a zero tolerance offense. The student carrying the knife is now subject to a disciplinary hearing

at the board of education. Generally, zero tolerance offenses result in expulsion for a calendar year. Fee, who was being shadowed by a teacher from Germantown Middle Tuesday, is not proud one of her students brought a knife to school, but she is proud that students followed the Code Red script. "Everyone wants to go to a safe school," Fee said. "The students went into action and did what they were supposed to do."

OPEN

Continued from A1 priority preference for transferring include, “employee; siblings of students currently in a transfer situation; special programs offered in one school and not available in another; and all other students.” The presentation also highlighted athletics and the upcoming open enrollment. If a student is already eligible and playing a sport, he/she will have to sit out a year, according to TSSAA guidelines. There are two processes currently being considered for open enrollment: first come first served selection, based on date and receipt of application or lottery selection, whereas the students will enter into a drawing for available openings. The Board of Education is already preparing for the new changes by trying to anticipate any and all needs that may arise. In the meeting, Dr. Fisher recognized that in order for the transition to run smoothly, the committee must recognize that there will be many questions along the way, not only by the parents, but by the board. Dr. Fisher will present her final decision on either First Come, First Served or Lottery at the next school board meeting, April 10.

FLASHBACK

Ruffin play brings back memories I can still remember the day I found the Patsy Cline tape in my glove compartment. When I pulled it out and I saw my grandfather’s handwriting on the cassette case’s insert, I began to cry immediately. The guilt of not having returned it before he died was weighing heavily on my heart. Over the years I eventually forgave myself, forgot about it and moved on. I’ve now lived more of my life without him than I did with him as the grandfather who doted on his five “grandkiddies,” and it seems silly to punish myself over something he probably wasn’t angry about. You know how irrational guilt can be, though. A few weeks ago, I started reading a scrapbook of letters my grandfather wrote home while serving in the Army during World War II. He wrote often about listening to the radio. “You know how I love music,” he told his mother once. That was something I never knew about him and it brought me back, again, to that Patsy Cline tape. I have a feeling he’s long forgiven my holding on to it, but I naturally associate my memories of this and of him when I hear Patsy Cline’s music. (Also attached to Patsy Cline’s music is a family anecdote – one of my brothers was suspended in kindergarten for pushing a pretty girl down (whether she tried to kiss him or he was mad because he couldn’t kiss her, I can’t remember) and he spent his suspension with our family friend, Judy, who made him clean while they listened to her music – but we won’t bring that up.) I’ll admit I was hesitant to see the Ruffin’s “A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline.” I was worried the perforOFF THE RECORD mance wouldn’t meet my ECHO DAY standards and would somehow be a let down, that the singing wouldn’t be great, but I needn’t have worried. Amber McCain, the woman who plays the country music legend, is, in a word, phenomenal. I’ll also reluctantly admit that I cried through more than half of the show. France Gasquet and I were discussing the show Monday morning, our watercooler talk, if you will, and she said it best: McCain is not a tall, commanding figure in person, but she has extraordinary stage presence. She takes command of that stage and draws you in. During intermission, Gasquet’s mother, Barbara McBride, and I were chatting when her husband walked up. “She sounds just like Patsy Cline, doesn’t she?” Barbara asked Frank. “No she doesn’t, she’s better than Patsy Cline,” Frank responded. I’m a news editor who knows nothing about critiquing music, so I’ll refrain from saying anything other than I cried through the first two songs and every song after “A Closer Walk with Thee.” It’s not so much that she sounds very similar to Patsy Cline, it’s that she has such amazing talent and I could feel my grandfather’s presence there with my kids and me. He would have loved this show. It seems Tipton County loved it as well. The response was so great, and the house packed so full with each show, that its run has been extended. McCain takes another walk in Patsy’s boots Friday night at 7 and Sunday at both 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. “A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline” is one of the best shows to ever hit the Ruffin stage. If you didn’t have the opportunity to catch it during its original run, please get out and do so this weekend (or go back and see it again!). Trust me, you won’t regret it.

President waging PR campaign, but his actions are misguided Editor’s note: The following editorial was written by Sen. Lamar Alexader, Rep. Phil Roe and Rep. John Kline. The president is waging a public-relations campaign about income inequality in this country, but rather than focus on growing the economy and encouraging businesses to hire, this administration has fallen back on stale, bankrupt ideas that don’t help workers achieve more. The latest is a rule proposed by the National Labor Relations Board to speed up union elections, reduce the time workers have to decide whether or not to join a labor union, and force employers to hand over to union organizers their employees’ private information.

The board’s Democratic majority is expected to finalize the proposed rule later this year. Congress must take action. On Thursday, we introduced legislation that will prohibit this administration from rigging union elections and ensure workers get adequate time to hear from both sides and make a decision, while maintaining control over their personal information. Today, the union election process takes a median of 38 days — generally enough time for unions to make their case and for employers to make theirs, and for employees to have the information they need to make a fully informed decision. The proposed rule would shrink that process to as few as 10 days — just enough time for unions to make their aggressive plug with-

out giving employers adequate time to respond. It hamstrings employers from speaking to workers and making their case to the board, forcing them to raise all their concerns within seven days and essentially forfeit the right to raise additional concerns later. The real loser is the American worker, who would be ambushed by the process and forced to make a decision without all the facts. The current election timeline doesn’t favor employers. Unions win 60 percent of elections. Labor unions are suffering dwindling ranks and need the kind of advantage that can only come by rigging the election. Unfortunately, the Obama administration is more than ready to help out their union allies.

You can start a long-term investment program by investing in your 401(k) or other retirement plan offered by your employer. These plans usually offer a variety of investment options, including several growth-oriented accounts. Plus, any earnings are typically tax-deferred, which means your money could grow faster than if it were placed in an investment on which you paid taxes every year. So try to take full advantage of your employer’s plan — at a minimum, contribute enough to earn a match, if one is offered. Then, every time your salary goes up, boost your contributions. With discipline and perseverance, you can move toward both your distant and imminent goals. And that’s the long and the short of it.

Continued from A4

If the proposed rule sounds familiar, it should. The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia already struck down the administration’s past attempt to rush through ambush elections on procedural grounds. This time around, the National Labor Relations Board is going even further. The rule includes a provision that shows a startling lack of respect for workers. Employers would be forced to hand over the private cellphone numbers and email addresses, work location and shift information of workers to union officials. This provision constitutes an unprecedented invasion of worker privacy.

Choosing whether or not to join a union is an important decision. If unions are certain they are best for workers, then they shouldn’t fear an election process that allows workers a real opportunity to make up their minds. Our legislation will ensure sufficient time for employers and workers to prepare for an election and require the election take place no sooner than 35 days after the petition is filed. It will permit employers to raise concerns throughout the process, and it empowers employees to choose the personal information that will be disclosed to unions. The federal labor board ought be an umpire rather than a biased

advocate. Today’s board fails that test, as President Obama has appointed union advocates to serve in the roles of adjudicators. In the face of this board’s union advocacy, Congress needs to stand up for fairness to workers and employers. Rep. John Kline, Minnesota Republican, is chairman of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. Sen. Lamar Alexander, Tennessee Republican, is ranking member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. Rep. Phil Roe, Tennessee Republican, is chairman of the House Education and the Workforce health, employment, labor and pensions subcommittee.

Money won’t bring her back Wrongful Death Law in Tennessee governs the recovery of money damages when a loved one is killed due to negligence, such a car crash, accidental firearms discharge or an ATV accident. I understand why people say that money won’t bring back a loved one. However, money does allow the heirs the freedom to deal with their loss in the ways that seem best to them. If that means having the largest gravestone in the cemetery, fine. If that means a trip to Europe, okay. If that means taking a year off without working, okay. David Peel I have had clients set aside a scholarship, honoring the Peel Law Firm name of the decedent. Death in accidents sometimes occurs immediately. But, most often, some medical care is tried to save the victim. Many times, days pass in ICU. Thus, the family is often left with mountains of medical bills. For example, a recent airlift from Tipton County to the Med was over $16,000. These medical bills from the injury prior to death are recoverable by the heirs. Of course, reasonable funeral bills are also recoverable. If wages were missed between the injury and the death later on, those can be sought. What Tennessee calls the “pecuniary value of life” is often the most valuable part of any award, verdict or set-

tlement. Roughly, it contains the idea of actually valuing a life, which is exceedingly hard to do. So how do we value a life in Tennessee? The most obvious number is the loss of income for the life that was taken away. Even a regular worker, making $25,000 a year for an expected 40 years will earn a million dollars! However, it is important to understand that no one will award that number without some additional figuring. As we all know, we do not keep all we earn. Much is spent paying for living. This amount, called “personal maintenance,” must be deducted to get that value. But we also know that life is more than money. What about companionship? The loss involves the permanent (earthly) end to loving and supportive relationships in the family. Let’s say a sleeping truck driver hits a young nurse walking on the sidewalk. Further, assume she lived 21 days in ICU before succumbing to her injuries. If she was married, her surviving husband may file a wrongful death lawsuit against the trucking company and driver. The recovery should include the medical and funeral bills, and the 3 weeks of lost nursing income. Her future earnings (minus the costs of “personal maintenance” would also be recovered. Finally, the husband would seek the hard-to-value amount of the “loss of the consortium” (marital companionship) of his deceased wife. If they had kids, he can sue in Tennessee on behalf of the children for their loss of a mother in the future years. Money will not bring back a victim. But it can bring a measure of justice to the family and often provide some peace through financial freedom. Mr. Peel may be reached through PeelLawFirm.com wherein other articles may be accessed.

YOUR NEIGHBORS, YOUR EVENTS THURSDAY, APRIL 3, 2014 ▪ A7 www.covingtonleader.com

Drummonds child named walk honoree By FRANCE GASQUET fgasquet@covingtonleader.com When four-year-old Bradyn Lorimer wakes up in the morning, she is stiff and it hurts to move. The first thing she does is eat, because she has to take her medicine with food. She doesn’t like eating so early in the morning, but the medicine makes her stomach upset, so it’s something she has learned she must do. There are mornings that she has to soak in a hot bath for 45 minutes to an hour to be able to work out the pain. She will sit in the tub, after breakfast, and wait for the warmth to help her eventually limp that day. Bradyn Lorimer’s mother, Michelle, laughs with the lilt of someone who is trying to make light of a difficult situation. It’s still hard to talk about, she says, admitting it’s the most challenging thing they’ve been through as a family. “There have been a lot of doctor’s appointments, and a whole lot of praying. And now, we’re looking at moving Bradyn to a type of chemotherapy to try to get this in remission. She’s four years old and I’m deciding whether or not to put poison in her little body.” Bradyn has Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. This has changed their lives. Diagnosed at three years old, the symptoms started 14 months ago, when Bradyn started limping on her right leg after church one Sunday. The little girl’s foot and ankle were swollen. After several weeks, numerous doctors’ visits and tests, the family finally received the diagnosis. You don’t think about children having arthritis. According to the Arthritis Foundation, the word “arthritis” literally means joint inflammation, but also can involve the eyes, skin and gastrointestinal tract. Bradyn’s type is the most common. There are days when Bradyn can’t walk at all. She has had nosebleeds due to medications, and not too long ago, her nose bled for more than two hours and required an emergency trip

to LeBoheur and a different prescription. Rheumatologist, ophthalmologist, pediatrician – there have been so many doctors’ visits since last year, too many to count, says Michelle. “You never know if the eye appointment will be okay, because there are no symptoms and, if not treated, the inflammation can cause blindness, “said Michelle. “We have to go very regularly to the ophthalmologist.” The eye drops normally used after cataract surgery help to relieve inflammation and it is not uncommon to her to need the drops eight times in a day. JIA is an autoimmune disease, and Michelle says a bad case of the croup triggered the disease in Bradyn. Bradyn will never outgrow this diagnosis and Michelle says that the best they can hope for is remission. “If we can find the right medication, perhaps we can get her into remission,” she said. “We haven’t found it yet. Because my husband is self-employed, most of the doctor’s appointments are on me. I homeschool our nine-year-old, so she goes with us. She helps a lot with Bradyn. This disease has changed the family’s dynamics.” Just before Bradyn became sick, since the family was healthy, the Lorimers decided to drop their high premium insurance policy and, instead, opted for a high-deductible, high outof-pocket maximum. Ironically, in February, 2013, this new chapter of their lives began. “We are on a payment plan with different hospitals from last year’s expenses,” admits Lorimer. “They have been so good to us. Bradyn now has her own insurance policy. She still has a $1,500 deductible to meet and only gets 20 physical therapy visits a year, so I’ve had to mindfully use them. We can’t go every week anymore, because we’d use up the visits too soon and we can’t afford it. All in all, we’ve been very blessed.” The Drummonds family changed policies this year and now pay as much for

The living well of Living Water John 4:11-15 “The woman said to Him, Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water? Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock? Jesus answered and said to her, Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life. The woman said to Him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.” Jesus had met the Samaritan women at the well and had asked her for a drink of water. She questioned why He spoke to her, recognizing the animosity between those of Samaria and the Jews. Jesus answered her by saying that if she knew the gift of God and who it was that she was speaking to, she would

RALPH A. KELLEY THE CHURCH AT SHILOH

have asked Him, and He would have given her ’living water’. Of course the woman responded like she did, saying, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep’. By her reply, the woman showed that she did not understand what Jesus meant by ’living water’. Are You greater than our father Jacob, she asks Jesus. Jacob, a person of greater worth and character than You? Jacob, who was content to drink of this water, and are You more wiser and more knowing than father Jacob? Father Jacob could find no better fountain of

waters in all these parts. There are some who have understood this woman’s words as a mocking denial that Jesus had any power to give the living water He mentioned, but something far different is about to happen. Notice that Jesus did not answer her question if He was greater than Jacob, but He gave her an answer by which she might understand He is. Whatever value the city placed on the well, Jesus could give her something that was of greater value. Jesus defined the water that He could give as a spiritual power that leads to eternal life. His water, eternal life, would satisfy the deepest thirst of her soul. Whoever drinks from the water in Jacob’s Well will thirst again, but whoever takes of the ’living water’ shall be satisfied, and will not have a sense of ’want’. The words of Jesus meant that one who seeks after ’living water’ will not look for happiness or fulfillment in other objects. The one who receives the ’living water’ will be

satisfied with the gift of our Lord. And this will be forever. Jesus will be in his heart and shall be a constant supply, an unfailing fountain of living water, springing up, not like a stagnant pool or a deep well, but a flowing fountain that flows in the heat and in the cold, and in hunger and in thirst, in prosperity and in poverty, and in life, or in persecution, His gift of “living water” lives on and leads into everlasting life. It is not so strange that the woman still did not understand Jesus, showing how slow sinners are to understand spiritual matters. The woman asks for the water thinking it is a physical water, as she did not yet understand that Jesus was speaking of spiritual matters. But her curiosity was stirred, and I believe this is what Jesus wanted, to prepare her mind to receive the truth which He was about to declare. At this time, the woman was thinking on a purely physical level, and Jesus wanted to lead her into a spiritual mindset.

By EMILY PEYTON COOK Special to The Leader Two people from one whole generation of Israelites made it to the Promised Land because of the sin. Two. Dos. Eštạyim. Joshua, Caleb and the children 20 years and younger at the time they spied out the land, moved in to the Promised Land after God won their battles for them. All the Israelites between 20-40 perished before receiving their inheritance. Why? From Joshua 14:7-9: “Remember what the Lord said to Moses, the man of God, about you and me…I was forty years old when Moses, the servant of the Lord, sent me from Kadesh-barnea to explore the land of Canaan. I returned and gave an honest report, but my brothers who went with me frightened the people from entering the Promised Land. For my part, I wholeheartedly followed the Lord my God. So that day Moses solemnly promised me, ‘The land of Canaan on which you were just walking will be your grant of land and that of your descendants forever, because you wholeheartedly followed the Lord my God. Did you catch that? He followed the Lord with his whole heart. He lived without the fear of man but trusted in God's promises alone to save him and bring him to the Promised Land. Barna statistics say that the average church going family misses 17 Sundays a year. That means out of 52 Sundays, the average "Christian" goes to church 35 times out of a 52 week year and misses 4 months of church. The Lord com-

THE COOK FAMILY

mands one day for Himself during the week. He also says in Hebrews 11:25: And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. Most of us who grew up in the Bible belt knew from a very early age that Sunday was God's day and it was to be kept holy and a remembrance and celebration of what Christ did for us on the cross that first resurrection Sunday. Now many of us who were at one time leaders in our youth groups and there every time the doors were open are sitting at a dusty field running the opposite way from God’s will and God’s umbrella of protection. I see from scripture that God requires my whole heart. If I can't give it to Him on the one day He commands, how will I give it to Him the rest of my week? If He doesn't even have my heart on His day, how can He have the heart of my life? Remember, consequence always follows sin and we don’t get to choose the consequence. I believe this is generational sin. I want my children’s generation to be able to carry on the legacy of faith that I know and continue winning this world for Christ. If we keep going in the way we are going, away from God's way, there may only be

a Joshua and a Caleb, who see the Promised Land in their day. God always leaves a remnant of His people, even if it is just two. We, as true believers, have been promised a land, an eternity in heaven with Christ. But, do we live, much like the Israelites, in fear that this is all we have, this one life in the flesh? I know that there will be consequences for the generations to come, for my generation and the generation before me forsaking church for a season. There is no way around it. You see it in scripture all over the place, societies putting other gods before the Lord and punishment following to the third and forth generations. Mark 9:42 says "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe to stumble, it would be better for him if, with a heavy millstone hung around his neck, he had been cast into the sea.” I believe with all my heart that if we don't give the Lord's day back to Him and serve Him with our whole heart, not just in the off season, our children will pay and we will have to answer to God for the blood on our hands. If you have made it a habit to be away from church for a season, it's not too late. This Sunday is Easter, the epitome of a brand new start and a brand new life. Repent. Turn back around and head away from the field or whatever has been keeping you absent from church and head toward God's house, not just for Easter, but for good. God will bless your obedience. Dear believer, you are the light of the world, a city on a hill, the example of what a Christian is to a lost society of people. Return to the church so we can be the body of Christ the way it was designed to be. Join me in praying for revival of hearts towards God.

CORRESPONDENCE

The Civil War in Tipton County By RUSSELL BAILEY Tipton County Historian Tiptonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cavalry soldiers: battle at Wyatt, Miss. Oct. 13, 1863 conclusion; and killing in Covington: Before the Federals left Wyatt, they burned the entire village. Another column went through Chulahoma and burned that town. In a letter to his son, Mississippian J. H. Nelson wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (Yankees) burned and destroyed every thing on their route back to Collierville.â&#x20AC;? Capt. D. C. Fort and 20 men of the 2d Missouri cavalry were detailed to pursue the Federals. Fort wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whenever these Yankee raids would fail to whip our smaller armies they were stimulated by revenge to vent their spleen upon a defenseless and inoffensive people by robbing, burning, insulting and murdering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The next morning, Oct. 14, 1863, Hatchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s troopers scattered throughout the country by companies, burning as they went. A strip of country about

five miles broad, directly through the heart of the most beautiful section of Marshall County was on that day laid waste and in flames.â&#x20AC;? That night Hatchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s command retreated to the plantation of Matt Cox (Galena Plantation), 12 miles west of Holly Springs â&#x20AC;&#x153;when he burned the country folksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; food and dwellings as he wentâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? On Oct. 16, Gen. William T. Sherman wrote to Gen. S. A. Hurlbut, commanding district of Memphis: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am not satisfied with Hatchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s management. I hear of no collision, of no killed. He seems to hover round when he should dash in with saber and pistol. If we allow Chalmers, with that force, to neutralize your whole command, we deserve defeat, for it is bad management and want of caution on our part.â&#x20AC;? In his reply to Gen. Sherman, Hurlbut wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The escape of Chalmers and Richardson is disgraceful. I yet have no particulars. The cavalry alone should

Jamestown DarSay Burton GreetingsJamestown Community Health Organization's annual fundraiser, which was held Saturday evening at Covingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Teen Learning Center, was a huge success. President Rev. Pearl Andrews and program coordinators, Gwen Cooke and Pam Cobbs Springfield certainly pulled it off with the help of Jessie Cooke and several J.C.H.O. men. "Southern Style" was all that it was meant to be and more. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the dinner. On the menu were ham, chicken neck bones, beans, greens, sweet potatoes and cabbage. Several deserts on the table rounded out those with a sweet tooth. I made a red velvet pound cake and put it on plate with a Christmas design, which included a snowman and trees. Unfortunately, the plate was left at the center, if you happened to see the plate or better yet, pick it up, please let me know, as it is from my set and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love it back. Thank you! I hope that you enjoyed the cake along with everything on the menu! Several guests came out for the event on Saturday

have broken them and captured their ill-served artillery. The infantry lay up two days at Hudsonville, and by want of concert and want of spirit the enemy got offâ&#x20AC;Śguerrillas are thickening up there (Coldwater) and expect Richardson with his force to-day to move on the riverâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? In reporting on his success, Gen. James R. Chalmers claimed Union casualties and prisoners were 320 for the 10 days of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Collierville raid.â&#x20AC;? He reported his losses were 128 casualties for the entire raid including the four battles in Mississippi. Gen. U. S. Grant arrived in Memphis on the morning of Oct. 14, en route to Cairo, Ill. via steamboat. The future president steamed past Randolph on his journey. That same day, Gen. Sherman wrote a Union naval officer at Cairo: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have no doubt the rebels have every man that is in the southern confederacy now armed against us, and the most desperate struggle of the war must be expected. A large proportion

evening, like Mr. and Mrs. Billy Wilson (Queen) from Bartlett; Warren Lee Alston (Linda) from Raleigh; Jae Duftaffson from Millington; Kris Rao of Munford and friends of Jessie and Gwen Cooke. Diane Joyner and her twin sister, Ann Beth Stewart, were special guests of Mary Burton. The bridal shower I attended for one of my nieces on Saturday, March 22 was swell. The wedding of Sabrina Bell, oldest daughter of Walter J. Bell Jr, of Memphis, and Joann Burton Bell, formerly of Jamestown, to Raymond Reynolds, of Dallas, Texas is set for July 19 in Nashville. Cousins Erica Sherfield, Stacey Tolbert and JaCinta Jones gave Sabrina a lavish shower. Family and friends came out to wish the happy bride-to-be well. Her colors are purple and cream. Everything was so lovely. The menu of hot wings, broiled chicken, fruits, punch cupcakes and a malted punch was delicious. Prayers for Eugene Baker, Kim Andrews, Ruth Alston, Clark and Birdie Jones, Carlotta Jones, Eva Heaston, Jessie Lawson, Joseph Heaston Sr., Gertie and Charles Coleman, Gladys Miller and family, Carlene Sneed, Rev. Darryl Rozzell and family, Connie Brown, Katarene Harber, Doris King, Flossie Woods, Beaulah Wakefield, Rudolph Boykins, Mary Ballard

of their men is forced; still we know the vindictive feelings that animate the whole people and should not be blinded by any false theories. You have almost finished your job, and can and will, doubtless, with infinite pleasure help us who must live whilst we penetrate the very bowels of their land.â&#x20AC;? The porch of the Townsend House Hotel (site of old Roper Drug Store) in Covington was the scene of a fight between two men on Oct. 1, 1863. Anthony Isaac Bledsoe, ex-Confederate in Maleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Co. C, 1st Tennessee heavy artillery, had served at Fort Pillow, near his home. The other combatant was former Tipton Probate Judge A. W. Smith of Covington, who had four sons in the Confederate army. Both men accused the other of taking the Federal Oath of Allegiance. The argument grew more heated when Bledsoe slapped Judge Smith. Smith pulled out his pocketknife and stabbed Bledsoe twice. Bledsoe died the next day.

and family and Judy Sherfield. Happy birthday to Donetta Stewart Alston (24th), Earline Kennedy (26th), Willada Cole, Daphne Smith and Cammarlon Simmons (27th) and Gloria Sherrill (28th). At my church, North Star of Memphis, Pastor Steven Miller Sr. will celebrate the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 16th anniversary May 4 at 2 p.m. The public is invited. I am on the usherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board and will find you a seat! This is all for this time, hopefully there will be more news coming your way next week. Remember, "Anyone can count the seeds in an apple, but only God can count the apples found in the seeds." Until next time.

CORRESPONDENCE

Mt. Carmel-Clopton Elaine Watkins It's a cool sunny Sunday afternoon after a cold, windy, mostly-cloudy Saturday. Friday was very warm but it stormed late that afternoon and that night. I have to get my rain gauge back out; we put it up for the winter so it wouldn't freeze. I think we got about two inches of rain though. James and I, along with Clint and Courtney, took the “Queen of Mt. Carmel,” Catherine McCalla, to eat barbeque in Mason on Tuesday. We had a big time talking and eating and I wish her many, many more birthdays! I drove to Newbern on Wednesday to the funeral of my great-aunt Helen Porter Harrington. She is my 102-yearold grandmother's little sister and was 98. Granny was at the funeral, along with all the other Harringtons from Kentucky, and all the Harrington side from Jasper, where Aunt Helen lived. Granny just lost her daughter, Helen (Aunt Helen's namesake), in January. She remarked that she is the last Porter left. I grew up going to see Aunt Helen and have many, many fond memories of her and Uncle Wayne when they lived in Humboldt, where he ran the picture show. We have a lot of Harringtons – Harrington brothers married Porter sisters! Liz and I took Lyla to see the new Muppet movie Friday afternoon and then ate supper in Atoka. It was a fun

Almyra Libby Click Hi everyone. Finally, the March winds are over. However, I’m sure some of you remember the rhyme, “April showers bring May flowers.” I’m also sure we will have a few more showers. We are so blessed beyond our appreciation. Even the purple weeds and yellow dandelions have such beautiful colors. Don’t get me wrong, I like a pretty green lawn, mine will be sprayed soon, but the nature of God’s Earth is beautiful. I had the opportunity to watch my grandson, Chase Kidd, pitch in the baseball game Friday night, here at home field in Brighton. It was special to me because it was his 17th birthday. I know for a fact he had a good one, because he had several dinner parties over the weekend. My daughter from Centerville, Terri Barber, and her two boys, Dalton and Wyatt, visited last week, as they were also on spring break. We all took Chase out to Shogun (in Memphis) Thursday evening. That only started Chase’s celebration. I think they continued to party all weekend at various locations. Dixie, the little dog of my neighbor, Mrs. Mary Alice McDaniels, came up missing last week during that horrible storm. By the time Dixie was missing

night! Bobbie Deen, Ruby Hopper, Carmen Starck, Jack Conner, Jennifer Wilkes, Wayne Kidd, Steve Walk, Lillie Mae Glass, Dr. Travis Bolton, Keith McCalla and so many more are in our prayers, along with all servicemen and women.

for three days, Mary Alice was really broken hearted. Our animals are such an attachment to our families. There is a great ending to this story! Mrs. Patsy Fee found Dixie beside her carport Sunday afternoon. Several of the McDaniels’ family went to retrieve her and to thank Miss Patsy. This is part of our neighborhood watch, you might say. Way to go, Patsy! Mary Alice says she’ll not scold Dixie again for a long time. Speaking of neighborhood watch, tonight, April 3, at 6:30 will be the annual meeting.
