GOVERNMENT

I-69 plans may come to standstill

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Tennessee Department of Transportation Commissioner John Schroer is not mincing words about the future of Interstate 69 in West Tennessee under the current funding structure.

Last week, through various media outlets, he essentially said Tennessee will not put any more money into the interstate, which would connect Canada and Mexico and run through West Tennessee from South Fulton, Ky., to Memphis, until the federal government supplies a financial helping hand – in a big way.

The state has already spent approximately $200 million on the project for design, land acquisition and planning. About 75 percent of that money came from the federal government.

“Currently, there are no more congressional earmarks, no promises and no commitments on the federal level to help us finish this highway,” Schroer wrote in a guest editorial that appeared in The Commercial Appeal. “That leaves TDOT staring at a $1.5 billion price tag to build 65 miles of new highway between Memphis and Dyersburg.”

Tipton County Executive Jeff Huffman has been keeping tabs on the project for obvious reasons. The addition of a major interstate through the county would be huge on several fronts.

Last October, Huffman attended a meeting in Franklin that included several area county mayors and was called by Schroer.

The crux of the meeting, Huffman said, was that Tennessee is struggling to provide maintenance and repair for many roads in the state.

SCHOOLS

Bibb: Students testing well

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Tipton County Schools are testing better than other area systems and the state as a whole, school safety is a priority and plans are in the works for new classrooms at Atoka Elementary School.

Those were the messages delivered by Director of Schools Dr. Buddy Bibb on Monday during a report to the Tipton County Commission.

Results from the 2011-12 TCAP, which is taken by students in grades through eight, showed that 50.5 percent of county students were proficient or advanced in math, compared to 47.2 percent for Tennessee and 38.5 percent for the 15-school-system Southwest/ Memphis Region.

On the reading/language/arts test, Tipton County students posted a 52, compared to 49.9 statewide and 40.6 in the Southwest/ Memphis Region.

Bibb also presented end of course test results for algebra I and English II. Tipton County was 30 percent higher than the area systems in algebra I and 15 percent higher in English II. Compared to the state, local students were 22 percent better in algebra I and five percent higher in English II. “Tipton County has made an enormous impact on the schools and the community it supports,” Bibb said. “Its emphasis on individual growth and success, as well as rigorous curriculum and relentless usage of data, means that Tipton is truly educating its students for the

TAKING OFFICE Moody sworn in

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com Last week history was made as Debra Moody became the first woman sworn in to serve Tipton County as state representative.

“I never dreamed I’d be here,” she said from her Nashville office Tuesday. “I can’t tell you how it feels.”

Many people traveled from Tipton County to the state capitol to watch her take the oath of office.

“When you take that oath, that’s when it really hits,” she said. “It makes you feel so humble and grateful to serve a great county and state. This is a wonderful opportunity.”

Moody, who handily won against Conneye Albright (D-Munford) and Tommy Hill (I-Brighton), is the first new representative the county has elected in nearly four decades. Speaker Emeritus Jimmy Naifeh (D-Covington) served District 81 for more than 38 years and announced his retirement in March 2012.

Moody said his shoes are hard to fill but she’s working to make a name for herself.

“He is certainly a legend up

here,” she said. “I realized you have to be yourself and I’ve tried to keep that in mind. I can’t take anyone’s place but I can bring a new personality and a new dynamic to this seat.”

When the 108th General Assembly of the State of Tennessee convened on Jan. 8, Moody said she was “very, very excited” to get started.

So far, Moody hasn’t seen much action aside from the election of officers, including Speaker of the House Beth Harwell, and committee assignments (she’s on the state government and education committees and the education subcommittee). Freshman representatives are still working on moving into their permanent offices and attend-

ing orientation, but she is looking forward to going back into session on Jan. 28.

Rep. Moody doesn’t yet have an official permanent office – she was told there may be some reassigning – but she encourages her constituents to stop by when they are in Nashville, call (615-741-3774) or even email her (rep.debra.moody@ capitol.tn.gov).

“I think we are anxious to hear from anyone,” she said. “I welcome comments and questions, or if you just want to say hi, because that’s important to me. I want to make (my constituents) proud of the legislation we get to look at and I want them to know we’re moving Tennessee in the direction of being a strong state.”

Shelter begins spay/neuter program

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com A new program aims to help control the county’s overwhelming pet population.

This week, the Tipton County Animal Shelter began its pilot spay/neuter program, offering the service at a reduced cost to residents needing to al-

ter their pets.

“As responsible pet owners, we must make valiant efforts to keep our animals from running at large and carrying unplanned litters,” said Tipton County Public Works Director Shannon Reed.

“We are very excited to be able to offer this program and hope that it can become an annual event.”

For $25, residents can have their dogs and cats spayed and neutered.

Through the program, residents can purchase a $25 voucher that will fully cover the cost of the operation.

Reed said 300 vouchers will be available initially.

They will be sold on a first-come, first-served

Tax Tip

BHS team still ‘making hope’ This was the second year in a row that team captain Naomi Ziegler and co-team captain Haley Humpreys, of Brighton High School's Relay for Life team "Making Hope," went with some of their team members on a planned trip during their winter break to St. Jude to perform Christmas carols for the patients, families and staff.

Their teacher sponsor Mrs. Martina Cole also joined them.

Mrs. Eva Fortner volunteered her time and drove the van that First Baptist of Covington let them use for the trip.

For the second time there was a waiting list for those that wanted to go.

The students performed their carols in front of the “ABC Wall.”

Afterwards they got a tour of the hospital and ate in the fabulous

Kay Cafe.

For many of them this was the first time they had ever been there. This year they got a special treat and were introduced to Rick Shadyac Jr. the CEO of ALSAC (the fundraising organization of St. Jude), and his brother Tom Shadyac who just happens to be a famous film director and writer.

Some of his movies include "Evan Almighty" and "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective."

This team is three years old and is the one of the largest teams in the Tipton County Relay for Life.

The team has over 30 members and includes students from 9th12th grade.

In addition to Relay for Life and their annual St. Jude trip they have also planned and coordinated a Locks of Love drive in their school last year.

Dependents

There are two different types of dependents, a qualifying child or a qualifying relative. Only a qualifying child can help you receive the Earned Income Credit, Child Tax Credit, and Additional Child Tax Credit, while both types can help you qualify for dependent exemptions ($3,800 per person), Head of Household filing status, credit for Child and Dependent Care Expenses, and education related tax breaks.

This year they will be doing a Beautiful Lengths drive in the month of March that they will be opening up to the public. One of their Relay fundraisers will be a Oscar Night Makeover for $10, this includes hair, makeup and nails for the BHS Oscar night.

Wind energy could be in the Mid-South’s future and next week a meeting to discuss proposed routes will take place in Atoka.

The purpose of the meeting, according to Clean Line Energy Partners, is to provide the public with an opportunity to present com-

ments, ask questions and discuss the scope of the environmental impact statement.

The proposed Plains & Eastern Clean Line transmission project is an approximately 700-mile overhead high voltage direct current transmission line and associated facilities currently under development by Clean Line Energy.

If built, the project

would have the capacity to deliver approximately 3,500 megawatts of renewable energy generated from wind farms in the Oklahoma Panhandle to a Tennessee Valley Authority substation in Shelby County.

Several proposed options for the transmission line include areas of Tipton County.

Board proposes pet sales prohibition

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com An ordinance proposed in Covington last week could prohibit parking lot pet sales and giveaways if approved next month.

First presented during a finance and administration committee meeting in December, the measure would make it unlawful for persons to willfully sell, display or offer for sale as part of a commercial transaction or give away live animals on any street, highway, public right-of-way, commercial parking lot, hotel, motel or any outdoor special sale, swap meet,

flea market, parking lot sale or carnival.

The proposed ordinance seems very thorough, however Alderman Tommy Black said its wording needed to be a little more clear.

“I know it’s way out there, but they’re talking about you can’t give away a teddy bear on the corner,” Black said. “We need to maybe look at the wording, because what is an animal?”

“A live animal,” Alderman Jere Hadley responded amid laughter from the board and those in attendance. “It says live animal.”

“I’m just saying, maybe we

need to look at this one before the third reading,” Black said. “Another one, mayor, was can you sell parakeets at Walmart? They’re not an animal, are they?”

“Yes sir, they are,” responded Mayor David Gordon, a licensed veterinarian.

The ordinance would not apply to Covington Animal Rescue Effort or any other rescue group.

The second reading of the ordinance will take place at the next meeting of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Tuesday, Jan. 22 at 5:30 p.m. Public input will be sought on the third and final reading on Tuesday, Feb. 5.

Searches yield drugs, children in homes

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com Search warrants on Valley Street and Sandpiper Road resulted in the seizure of drugs and drug paraphernalia, the Covington Police Department announced this week. And both homes had children present when police arrived.

“When we do search warrants and there are children in the house, we call (the Department of Children’s Services),” said Asst. Police Chief Allen Wilson. “Sometimes DCS charges them with child endangerment.”

The first search warrant was conducted at an apartment on Friday, Jan. 11.

Officers reported Keith Brown, 39, of Swan Cove, ran to a bathroom when they entered the residence. Also in the apartment were Sterling Brown, Sterling Wayne Dixon and a five-yearold child.

According to police reports, officers seized eight bags of crack cocaine, with a total weight

Bibb also talked about school safety issues in light of the school shooting in Connecticut.

“We're going to be very diligent as far as safety goes,” Bibb said.

Bibb said he has held meetings with security director Buddy Lewis, local police departments and the Tennessee Highway Patrol to address safety plans.

He also said representatives from Tipton County Schools will attend a statewide summit

of 3.3 grams, located in a coat belonging to Dixon.

The report states Dixon admitted to selling the drugs.

Also recovered were several partial marijuana cigarettes, which Dixon and Brown reportedly admitted to smoking in the home, rolling papers, steel wool with cocaine residue inside and nearly $500 in cash.

The report alleges Sterling Brown told police he no longer smokes crack so “it shouldn’t be his.”

Police said Keith Brown, who was in possession of the money, told them he received the cash from cutting hair but also said he “sometimes buys cocaine” and sells it for profit.

Sterling Brown was cited into General Sessions Court for simple possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

Keith Brown was cited for resisting stop/halt/ frisk.

Sterling Wayne Dixon was arrested and charged with possession of schedule II with intent, simple possession of marijuana

and possession of drug paraphernalia.

A report was also filed with the Department of Children’s Services regarding the five-yearold.

In Christopher Purham’s Sandpiper Cove bedroom, police found 42 grams of loose marijuana and a digital scale used to weigh the drugs.

Additionally, they seized $313, a new flat screen television and a Playstation 3, all believed to be proceeds from the sale of drugs.

He was charged with possession of a schedule VI drug with intent and possession of drug paraphernalia and had two outstanding warrants for possession of drug paraphernalia and failure to pay child support.

Three children – ages 7, 9 and 10 – were in the home at the time the search warrant was conducted. DCS also filed a report regarding these children.

Wilson said the increase in drug arrests in December and January is not reflective of

on school safety on Jan. 29.

Bibb reported that the school system recently received a $1.285 million grant from FEMA for six tornado-safe classrooms.

He said the rooms will be constructed at Atoka Elementary because that school is the most crowded in the system.

Construction should be completed within two years. The addition will add about 8,300 square feet of classrooms. The school system will be responsible for a 12.5 percent match and will foot the bill for desks, chalkboards and other interior items.

In other matters: • County executive Jeff Huffman said that a low bid of $9.016 million had been received for construction of a new library at the Dyersburg State Community College campus in Covington.

The library, which will be open to the public, will include about 55,000 square feet and 287 computers. Construction is expected to begin this spring.

• Dr. Buffy Cook was appointed to a fiveyear term as the county medical examiner. He had been serving three months on an interim basis.

an increase in drugs on Covington’s streets, but rather an increased focus in the department’s drug unit.

“We have three new guys and a sergeant.

They’ve been getting a lot of intel and they’re working hard, doing a pretty good job, but it comes in spurts,” he said.

Two dozen arrests were made during a recent Governor’s Highway Safety Office saturation during the Christmas and New Year’s Eve holidays, the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office announced last week.

Extra enforcement was put on the roadways in order to have a more visible officer presence to help ensure safer roadways for our citizens and visitors alike during peak times when vehicular travel is at its highest.

This year’s New Year’s Eve efforts were somewhat “dampened” by the showers that moved through the area during these peak times but it did help hold down many traffic issues usually faced on New Year’s Eve. During the operations, officers issued 32 tickets and warnings. Tickets were issued for violations including: speeding, dis-

regarding stop sign, light law, drivers license violations, seat belt violations, child restraint violations, registration violations and no insurance.

Twenty-four arrests were made during the operations on various charges as well.

Three juveniles were arrested during this same operation. Two were for alcohol-related offenses and the other for unlawful possession of a weapon.

These efforts are aided by the Governor’s Highway Safety Office (GHSO) with additional funding that allows the sheriff’s office to continue these operations so roadways remain as safe as possible.

YOUR INPUT IS NEEDED!

Continued from A1 “He indicated to me, at that time, that Tennessee had about 1,500 projects that were in the mill and hadn't been completed,” Huffman said. “He also said, in regard to major transportation projects, that the state of Tennessee wasn't going to be able fund those things like they have in the past …

He said the state wasn't interested in funding mega-projects … like I-69.”

State Senate Majority Leader Mark Norris (R-Collierville), whose district includes Tipton County, said he thinks Schroer may have overstated his case “a little bit as it relates to other things we have going on. I-69 has not been cancelled … Our procedures are in place to get funding for I-69. His point is that it is truly a project of national significance and congress should treat it that way.”

It has been suggested that the state's stance on I-69 is a slight against West Tennessee.

Last month the final segment of State Route 840, a 78-mile interstate-style bypass of Nashville that cost $753 million, was completed and was funded by state funds only.

“Spending decisions are not politically motivated,” Schroer wrote, “and spending on projects west of the Tennessee River has increased to 27 percent of our total budget in the last two years.”

Norris places the blame for discontinuing work on the interstate on Washington.

“I think he's (Schroer) trying to send a message to congress that they need to give us more certainty about funding the projects before the state's going to put money into them,” Norris said.

Part of the reason the state is strug-

Two dozen arrests made during saturation

gling to fund transportation is a decrease in tax revenue over the years, Huffman said. Less money has been coming into the state's coffers from fuel and gasoline tax because of fuelefficient cars and less travel that could be attributed to a depressed economy.

“The fundamental problem here is how does any state provide funding for their transportation system, maintenance, and repair and build new roads, new bridges or new high-speed rail systems when the tax they rely on is dwindling?” Huffman said. “That's the problem he's facing … Everybody in Tennessee is facing and everybody in the country.”

Huffman wants the interstate to come through Tipton County sooner rather than later. However, he said because the massive growth the county experienced the last 20 years or so has leveled off, “We may be able to go for a longer period of time without another major thoroughfare being built.”

As for when it will be built, nobody's making any guesses.

“There's no way to guess,” Huffman said. “In terms of economic and community development, in terms of industrial development, having a major interstate coming right through the county seat, that's a real advantage that we're not going to have, it looks like, for a long time.”

“It will get worked out eventually,” Norris said. “What I'm worried about and discouraged by is the federal government, or lack thereof. The dysfunction in D.C. … This is just one more example of the ramification of their failure to have a budget. They're all at fault for that.”

JOIN US AT PUBLIC SCOPING MEETINGS FOR THE PLAINS & EASTERN PROJECT The U.S. Department of Energy intends to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the Plains & Eastern Clean Line Transmission Project (DOE/EIS0486; Plains & Eastern EIS or EIS) to assess the potential environmental impacts of participating with Clean Line Energy Partners LLC in the proposed Plains & Eastern Project. The proposed project would include an overhead ± 600 kilovolt high voltage direct current electric transmission system and associated facilities with the capacity to deliver approximately 3,500 megawatts primarily from renewable energy generation facilities in the Oklahoma Panhandle region to load-serving entities in the Mid-South and Southeast via an interconnection with the Tennessee Valley Authority. The proposed project would traverse Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Tennessee, a distance of approximately 700 miles between interconnection facilities in Texas County, Oklahoma, and Shelby County, Tennessee. The proposed project would require construction of a new alternating current/direct current converter station at each end of the transmission line.

FLASHBACK

GUEST OPINION

Cancer trilogy: part two The ENT surgeon told Debbie and me that the preliminary tests of the tumor and other tissue revealed cancer in the left tonsil and a portion of the upper palate. A few days later the full pathology report diagnosed scarmous cell carcinoma, a neck and throat cancer. Scans also found that a lymph node on the left side of my neck was enlarged and expected to continue growing larger. The cancer had metastasized, or spread, to my lymph nodes on the left side.

A subsequent PET scan of my entire body found cancer in the left lymph node and potential lighting up in other nodes throughout my neck. On a good note, the scans found the cancer had not spread further into my organs or bones, but the cancer was growing at a moderate rate so time was critical to begin the fight.

Still, they determined I was Stage 4 and there are only 4 stages of cancer.

My VA Oncologist sent everything to the Denver VA for review and consultation. The team at Billings Clinic in Montana, a chemo oncologist, radiation oncologist and my surgical ENT, recommended immediate radiation and three chemo treatments. The VA was concerned that J IM HARDIN the PET scan may have missed microscopic cancer cells elsewhere in my body and recommended an aggressive search and destroy induction chemo regimen designed to shrink the growth in my left neck and kill any small cells that got away. After that we would begin radiation and standard chemo treatments.

After much thought, prayer and consultation, Debbie and I decided to go with the induction chemo first through the VA and then transfer to Billings for the radiation and remaining chemo.

We appreciated that both the VA and Billings Clinic teams worked well together and respected our decision.

By the end of January I underwent another surgical procedure to have a port installed in my left chest where personnel could easily access my veins for blood work and infusions.

This would be much easier than trying to find a vein in my arms which sometimes was difficult – mine like to roll (they don’t like needles).

In early February 2012, we started induction chemo. By now the lymph node in my left neck had grown surprising large and was becoming a concern. On Monday I was given two infusions at the VA Hospital and then sent to a local cancer clinic in Sheridan, Wy. where they inserted a line into the port in my left chest and hooked it up to a pump I wore on my belt to be fed into my body over four days. I had to sleep, shower and live with this pump attached 24/7 over the four days.

On Thursday they removed the pump and I really did not feel too bad. They had warned me I could get very sick, would start losing my hair – that process actually began about 15 years earlier – and that I would see a significant decrease in energy. The biggest risk was a reduced immune system as the chemo killed the cells in my body; good, bad and ugly.

By the first weekend it hit me and I was extremely ill. The pains in my stomach often felt like a thousand knives stabbing me in the gut.

Eating was near impossible but it was critical I kept eating as my immune system took a nose dive. I was sicker than I had ever experienced for about 10 days. Soon after the second weekend following chemo I was starting to feel better and could eat again. By the third weekend I was fine but then on Monday morning it all began again.

I went through three cycles of induction chemo with three weeks between treatments.

I spent a few days in the hospital following the third round due to a dangerously low immune system and near fainting spells. I always considered myself John Wayne tough, but that toughness was gone. My mind was could get semi-delirious and the medicines they gave me for pain and symptoms had their own bad side effects.

Induction chemo was done and in early April it was time to begin daily radiation and three rounds of just cysplaton chemo. My hair was falling out and I mean everywhere. Neuropathy (numbness) in my fingers and toes was setting in and I was very weak. I was never so glad to

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Thanks to business I would like to take the opportunity to shed some light on a highly reputable and courteous business in our South Tipton County area, Munford Tire and Brake. They have been in business in our county for quite some time now. I have been doing business with them since they first opened. Whether replacing tires, getting my oil changed, brakes repaired, windshield wipers replaced, etc., I have never felt like I had been taken advantage of just because I was single or female.

Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for other places of business.

Over a period of two months, I was pulling in every other day to have air put in my tires until I could afford to buy some. During that time, not once did the employees make me feel as though I was bothering them. I was impressed to say the least, for I must admit, even I was bothering myself.

You know, we all have a purpose in life. We are supposed to do good works for others, not just family members or for selfish rea-

Momma with no complaints.

Oft times we needed a referee and we were fortunate as ‘Miss’ Bonnie McCullough was the telephone operator just across the road at Mr. ‘Babe’ Howard’s exchange.

She wore those ear phones like Sky King in the picture shows and stuck those little prongs with long wires on the end and twirled that little handle similar to an ESSO gas pump so folks would talk to one another.

‘Miss’ Bonnie’s hearing had to be good enough to hear a mouse snore on a bale of cotton because when there was a fight, she’d fly through the front screened door and bound on the front porch and extinguish the fire immediately even with encased ear phones. A sudden hush would envelope and all returned to organized chaos.

Friends that is how we learned to play football. We didn’t have any money and no pads, just a hard head and some stinking feet.

But we do have our wonderful memories growing up in the dear South….Glory!

Z-PAC and the flu A truly fascinating first person account of Representative Hardin’s medical odyssey as he points out the wisdom of pursuing one of the American Cancer Socieity’s cautions: check out a lesion that does not improve (in this case a sore throat).

One facet deserves additional comment: The doctor at the VA hospital where he works “quickly diagnosed flu” and gave him an antibiotic for his sore throat which had lasted 2 ½ months. Subsequently, a more astute physician diagnosed a much more problematic condition.

The point that is important to note is that antibiotics are not only worthless for “the flu” (which is a virus) but can lead to diarrhea (including Clostridium difficile) resistant organisms (like MRSA “flesh eating bacteria”), vaginitis (though not in this case), allergic reactions, as well as needless medical expense.

It is a goal of organized medicine SEE LETTERS, PAGE A5

I would like to commend the staff at Munford Tire and Brake for their continued loyalty to their customers. There, I am always greeted with a smile or a joke from Logan, Stephen, Lil B-Rad, Chris, Jason (owner) or one of the other guys and made to feel welcome.

Furthermore, they are never boisterous or rude.

Munford Tire and Brake: I trust you will keep up the good work. I have been doing business with you for well over 10 years and you have always treated me right. All my life, I’ve been told to honor those who treat you right or “do good by you” by sending them flowers or a note to show appreciation. Rather than doing this privately, I would like to publicly offer my sincere appreciation. Hooray for Munford Tire and Brake!

• Proper coaching — Not all marathoners have individual coaches, but many have at least gone to clinics or joined running clubs so they could learn more about the various aspects of this grueling event. And an investor, you can certainly benefit from guidance or “coaching” in the form of a financial professional — someone who knows your individual needs, goals and risk tolerance and who has the experience to make recommendations that are appropriate for your situation.

Every marathoner is familiar with the difficulties of the challenge and the satisfaction of finishing the race. As an investor, you also will be tested many times. Furthermore, you’ll never really cross the “finish line” because you’ll always have goals toward which you’ll be working. Yet, by emulating the traits of successful marathoners, you can continue working toward your objectives — and perhaps you’ll avoid the blisters, too.

He is a graduate of Covington High School and is employed by Southwest Tennessee Electric.

The wedding is at 6 p.m., followed by a reception at 7 p.m.

A new volunteer emergency organization has been formed recently called Tipton County Volunteer Organization Active in Disaster, orVOAD. This group is working with the Tipton County Emergency Management Agency, directed by Mr. Tommy Dunavant.

These two organizations are working in conjunction with the area chapter of the American Red Cross to offer interested individuals the chance to sign up and get trained to help people affected by a local disaster.

Those who want to volunteer in times of local emergency may receive training at one of the following upcoming sessions: • Saturday. Feb. 9, 2013 – Pleasant Grove Baptist Church, 4624 Hwy. 59 South, Covington. 9 am to 4 pm, with lunch provided.

• Saturday, Feb. 23, 2013 – Munford Fire Station, 1375 Munford Avenue, Munford. 9 am to 4 pm, with lunch provided.

The two areas of training are Shelter Operations and Disaster Action Team. Advance registration is required for the limited seating. To register or for more information, call or email Red Cross manager of volunteers Wanda Doyle at 901-672-6374 or Wanda.Doyle@redcross.org.

Please consider serving your community in one of these two ways when disaster strikes. Preparing now means there is a plan in place when the need unexpectedly arises, and aren’t emergencies always unexpected?

Covington retires from Freckled Frog after working on the Square for decades

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Susan Covington retired from the Freckled Frog last week after a storied career of working at various places on the Covington Square.

Covington, 62, began her retail career at Chris's Casual Shop on the Square in the summer of 1968.

After raising her two sons, she returned to the Square and took a job at The Cherry Blossom, a bridal shop owned by Laura Frisbie.

She worked there until the mid-1990s.

“I have always sewed my clothes and did shirts for the boys,” Covington said, “but working on lace and satin was a whole new ballgame …

Laura showed me all the little tricks to cutting lace and making it look so beautiful.”

After that, Covington and her sister, Sallie, opened up All Things Fabric at the corner of Old Memphis and Mueller Brass roads.

“She loved quilting and I love sewing in general so we gave it go for two years before we had to close,” Covington said. “We still have fabric stored everywhere.”

In 2007, she went to

“I thank everyone for the awesome picture signed by many customers and merchants around the Square,” said Covington, who will still help out at the Freckled Frog on occasion. “I will miss seeing everyone everyday, but I'll still pop in to say hi.”

Covington will not stop sewing entirely though.

She's opened up Susan's Sewing Room in her home and can be reached at 475-1797.

“She's very dependable,” said Debbie Apfel, Freckled Frog's owner. “I'm always telling people you can set your clock to Susan. I compare her to a girl scout. She's always prepared.”

Tipton County and the Civil War: December 1862 Compiled by Russell B. Bailey Tipton County Historian La Vergne is fifteen miles southeast of Nashville and the same distance from Murfreesboro. On Dec. 5, 1862, Colonel John Chester’s 51st Tennessee Infantry was ordered to go on picket duty there for three days on the Nashville Turnpike. The next day two brigades of Gen. Cheatham’s Division left Murfreesboro en route to La Vergne, marching through four inches of snow. The expedition was a diversion to cover Gen. John Hunt Morgan’s raid on Hartsville along the Cumberland River where he captured 2,100 Federals.

Cheatham’s

men skirmished with the enemy within 11 miles of Nashville, before falling back to Murfreesboro.

Maney’s Brigade, Cheatham’s Division, went on picket and outpost duty at Stewart’s Creek on the 15th. During Dec. 17 - 20th, Colonel Bartlett M. Browder of Tipton County was at Murfreesboro. His mission was to reclaim command of the 51st Tennessee and have the Regiment ordered to North Mississippi to unite it with the Fort Donelson contingent commanded by Captain John Gracey Hall.

An officer in the 51st Tennessee recalled winter quarters at Murfreesboro: “Here we commenced

We had a little snow at noon today and a little freezing rain.

There’s more chance tomorrow but right now looks like it's staying south of us. That’s fine with me unless we get measurable snow!

Elizabeth and Lyla came over Tuesday night and ate hamburger pie with us. Lyla wants to play with Minnie but Minnie isn't real sure about Lyla yet! The three of us went shopping in Memphis on Friday and had a great day.

This week's Cat Report: Minnie is making herself at home and is very playful, as 10-week-old kittens are.

Her favorite things right now are a pair of tassels hanging from a chair in the den, and the cord hanging from the blinds in the kitchen! She has gotten more independent this week and just goes off and plays, instead of wanting to be on us, or beside us, all the time. I love my kitten!

Please keep the family Carol "Buddie" McMahan in your prayers, as she passed after fighting pneumonia again. Also pray for Jeff Hanks, John Dickey, Sue Bringle, who is in rehab in Covington, Barbara Johnson, Jenni Langston, Pat Farabee, Lavern Fowler, Jimbo Edmonds, and so many others. Also remember our servicemen and women.

My sincere sympathy is extended to Thelma Brown and all the family in the death of son Barry last week. They are in my prayers at this hard time.

Sympathy is also extended to the

family of Charlie Cook, to the family of Inez Vanstory and to Mindi Henderson in the death of her grandfather, Ralph Pohl. All these are in my prayers also.

So you’re in love…have you considered this? Also featured are topics such as dealing with conflict in marriage, the Christ-centered wife, the Christ-centered husband and keys to a great marriage.

Dunlap Retirement Center Kathy Keiter l 476-7014

Hello everybody! I sure hope you’re all staying in and keeping warm! We’re all trying to, but sometimes you must get out.

We always have to make sure we have plenty of milk and bread, so we did that, and hunkered down for a few days in our homes.

We did have a little excitement Tuesday night though. One of the transformers blew outside on a pole which caused the electricity to go out in two of the buildings which then caused a short in another building outside at the heating unit. The smell went through the vents and made all of us think the house was on fire, so we called 911 and as always, Three Star Fire Department was here within 4 or 5 minutes. They are amazing! We had fire fighters everywhere! I’ll tell you, I feel so fortunate living here in the community of Almyra because Three Star FD is such an awesome volunteer fire department! Thank you guys and girls for all your

hard work and patience with us here at Dunlap.

That’s a very scary time when you smell something burning and you can’t find it! I think we have all experienced that at least once in our lives.

We have fire drills in each building once every month, so the residents did great! We put them in my good warm car and Ms. Betty’s car and they were just troopers! God has definitely charged me with taking care of my dear residents and I take that extremely seriously. Plus I have a wonderful staff that makes it easier. Thank you, girls!

I also want to thank the community of Almyra for coming to our rescue as well. Seriously, we had everyone come from all around the neighborhood to check on us! I am so very thankful for all of you. Several of you even offered to take some of our residents home with you, and that just blessed my heart! Thank you; I am so grateful! We feel like we are so loved and protected here. What

the egg-nog commenced.

We could not wait to get it made so we took some straight and commenced cooking breakfast and drinking egg-nog. We had a splendid breakfast and dinner but were in a poor fix for dressing a straight line or keeping the step, but were ready to fight a Yankee regiment of wildcats…a drink of whiskey or brandy cost one dollar in Confederate money and measured to you at that price…”

Colonel Robert V. Richardson’s officers of the 1st Tennessee Confederate Partisan Rangers continued recruiting and arming their regiment in Tipton and Fayette Counties. On the 22nd, the Union commander at Bolivar wrote:

better place to live and have a retirement center where you need all the help from the community you can get? We are truly blessed by the Lord to live in this wonderful place. Everyone takes care of each other and that’s the way it should be. Thank you, all that came, all that called with concerns and all that offered help. We love you and praise God for you!

I actually feel like I live in Mayberry, which is an awesome comfort; it’s like I’m not out here taking care of these precious folks alone. God bless you all!

Before I run out of space I need to tell you that the planning committee for the Dunlap Kids Reunion came this weekend and had a wonderful time together.

Some of them even went to Sharon Church on Sunday morning to visit the church they all attended while they lived here.

They said it was great! I will keep you posted as time gets closer. For now, may our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ bless you and keep you safe!

“Thirty United States teams [horses and mules], 40 men and 30 Negroes were captured at Raleigh, 9 miles from Memphis. Captain [Reuben] Burrow was in command of the Rebel forces that made the above capture.”

Nine days later Union General Mason Brayman still complained about Richardson’s troopers: “It is a source of regret that bands of robbers and guerillas still infest the neighborhood…It is a mortifying fact, and of which I have heretofore complained, that while I cannot procure means to arm and equip the incipient regiment [Fielding Hurst’s 1st West Tennes-

see Union cavalry] so long on my hands, these [Confederate] partisan rangers have been permitted to market in the streets of Memphis the cotton stolen from citizens, and with the avails to purchase and bring out in return all kinds of army supplies, including sabers, carbines, and pistols in abundance, and in one instance at least a wagon of powder; all this in so open a manner as to be subject of notoriety and proof.”

DarSay Burton Greetings. Finally I'm feeling better from this very bad case of the flu.

Debe Simonton Hello my Brighton friends!

Just wait one day and the weather will change again! You never know what to expect around these parts. To think we were warm enough to go without a jacket one day to sleet and snow the next. Amazing.

This is the beginning of the year and already it is getting pretty busy with birthdays, babies, weddings, graduations, and I don't know what else. There’s so much going on and that is the truth. I'm going to start with the birth of Miss

I enjoyed a nice sit in on Wednesday and Friday with one of my twin sons, Therman Boddie.

Their birthday is Jan. 25.

It’s always a treat seeing at least one of them!

Remember, keeping a lid on a secret's like keeping a lid on a boiling pot.

Caroline Culbreath. She is the daughter of Adam and Kasey Brooks Culbreath and granddaughter of Johnny and Becky Brooks. Congratulations to all of the family on this precious bundle.

Our children and grandchildren have a slew of birthdays from the holidays on. Jackson turned 7, Brenna turned 16 and Amelia and Tanner turned 2 on the 14th.

And we are just getting started! Brenna will be driving soon hopefully, so I guess no one will be able to witness my beauty on these cold winter mornings!

Here are some more birthdays to share: Tam-

my Sampson, Danielle Joyner, Judson Naifeh, Sallie Wallace, Amber Jackett, Beverly Miller, Jimmy Reeves, Jerry Hunter, Sarah Crocker, Kimberly Calhoun, Tonya Spray, Wade Yarbro, Donna Turner and Anthony Gonzales.

I did another crazy this past weekend. I got off work a little late (around 8:30 or so) and of course the last thing you want to do is go get gas but I knew that morning that I had to get filled up just to make it home. So I begrudgingly went over to Fastimes, went in and purchased a couple of other items as well as forty dollars in gas. I

returned to the pump, opened up my car door, threw in my purse and bag, then proceeded to get in and leave. About half way home I looked down to see how much gas this gave me, and the gas light is screaming at me. Oh my gosh, I drove off without my gas. I turned around and head back. Looking around to see if any of the same people are there, I pulled into the same pump I had previously left and went inside with my head down and confessed my

absentminded crazy self.

I was so embarrassed, to say the least.

There are some important upcoming events at the Brighton High School. The parent-teacher conferences are Thursday the 17th and Tuesday the 22nd from 3:15-6:15 p.m. Report cards go out on Thursday. The softball team will be selling Hamburger plates during the conferences. They will be $5. There will be no school on Monday, January 21 in observance of Martin Luther King Jr.

Day. One last thing: Hannah and I are going to be going to a pottery class at Copper and Clay on the Covington Square starting Wednesday. I’m kind of excited because my sister, Beth, does pottery and does a beautiful job.

So I'll keep you updated!

My quote for the week: “Never ignore a person who loves you, cares for you and misses you, because one day, you might wake up and realize you lost the moon while counting the stars.”

Thanks to all who have given support for the mission trip to Guatemala. We have raised $2,750.

During the clothes drive, we donated 41 coats to the clothes pantry ministry at First UMC in Covington. Thanks to Barbara Turner for coordinating this effort.

Report on the home front: when we moved here four years ago, we built a four-level book shelf on one wall in our den. Well, after this time, the shelves are beginning to sag in the middle. We have 80 books on the second shelf. We took than all off and put some more books between the two shelves. So we got the shelves back up to par. I have about 200 more books on the bottom shelves, which are not sagging yet.

Monday, I had a good day. I had to go to the driver license place to get my driver license renewed. When we arrived at the place, there was a bunch of people. We thought we might do better later. M.D. asked the security guard if Monday a good day to be there.

He said yes, and that this was a small group, compared to some days.

Knightly News: CIAA kicks off New Year Welcome back to all our wonderful students and staff! We are bringing in the New Year with some wonderful activities and guests! One of the most unique learning experiences CIAA offers its students is the opportunities to learn with visiting artists. We have some amazing artists visiting our school throughout the next two months.

Starting Jan. 8, we will be seeing Mr. Chuck Parr around at our school as he utilizes his music background and teaches Cuentos lessons to our 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. He will also be visiting on Jan. 11, 15 and 18. Misti Rae Warren, teaching from her music and drama background, will be visiting CIAA to work with our 3rd through 5th graders on Feb. 1, 8, 15 and 22. Another artist with music and drama background, Virginia Ralph, will be visiting CIAA to

work with our Kindergarten - 2nd graders. You be able to spot her at CIAA on Feb. 4, 6, 7, 19, 21, and 22.

Thanks to the Tipton County Education Foundation, the Student Ticket Subsidiary, and the Tennessee Value Plus Arts Commission, our CIAA students have a very exciting event coming up. On Feb. 12, our entire student body will have the opportunity to visit the Ruffin Theater to see legendary storyteller and educational speaker, David Gonzalez. He will be speaking on both Jazz Orpheus and Cuentos at separate times throughout the day. We have listed the times that each grade will be attending and which show they will be able to experience below along with a brief description from his website, www.davidgonzalez.com, about the material he presents in his show.

Our K-5th graders will be attending the morning session about Cuentos: "Cuentos paints a vivid picture of the people and rich cultures of the Spanish-speaking world with colorful tales from the Caribbean, South America, and the Bronx! From the silly antics of the Puerto Rican anti-hero 'Juan Bobo' to the mysterious dealings and powers of the Orishas in a suite of Afro-Cuban stories, these tales are filled with memorable characters, fantastic plots and positive messages for children."

Our 6th-8th graders will be attending the afternoon session to learn about Jazz Orpheus: "JAZZ Orpheus is a hip-hoppin', beboppin' musical version of the classic Greek myth, Orpheus and Euridice. I have always loved this story of courage and adventure and now have made

its rich meaning come alive for today's kids."

Thank you to all of our visiting artists and all of those who have contributed to make these arts teachings available to our students! Other upcoming events include our 3rd grade All Star Night on Thursday, Jan. 10 at 6:00 p.m. and our Geography Bowl Finals this Friday. If you missed our amazing performance of Aladdin before Winter Break, you can visit our blog site to see some of the photos from the show at www.ciaaknights.blogspot.com. Also, now you can keep up to date with your child’s grade level events by seeing their online newsletter at the CIAA link at www. tipton-county.com.

Chargers hold off Haywood CHS perfect in district

By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com Covington trailed by as many as eight points in the first period at Haywood on Friday, closed the gap to one at the end of the quarter and took their only lead in the first half with the opening shot of the second at 18-17.

The Chargers fell behind again before rallying for a 66-63 overtime District 13-AA win to open a twogame lead over Martin Westview, which lost this week to Crockett County.

CHS (16-3, 10-0), which trailed by eight again in the third period, closed the gap to four entering the final

stanza.

A basket by Demetrius Dyson, who was playing on a sore hamstring, gave the Chargers a 57-56 lead at the 4:38 mark. Haywood quickly regained the lead on a deuce from Alandis Delk, but former Haywood, now CHS guard Chevia Hughes tied the game at 58 making one of two free throws with 3:14 remaining.

Jaylin Dyson dropped in a pair of free throws with 2:35 left to give Covington a 60-58 advantage. Hughes pushed the lead to three with another free toss with 2:15 left.

The Tomcats misfired on their next possession and the Chargers went into a stall but were called for a walk with 1:22 remaining.

Haywood’s Jordan Varnado knotted the game at 61 on a deep 3-pointer with 44 seconds to go. A Jaylin Dyson tip-in at the buzzer was waved off sending the

game to overtime.

The Chargers outscored the Tomcats 5-2 in the extra frame as Haywood went cold from the floor and the Chargers snared some crucial rebounds that had eluded them most of the game.

The Dysons and Hughes accounted for the OT scoring for CHS. Demetrius Dyson was the game’s top scorer with 24 points, including 11 in the final frame. Junior Tarecus Hughes chipped in 14 points. Jaylin Dyson added nine and some big rebounds in his return after a three-game absence from the lineup.

The Tomcats had three players in double figures.

Kyler Douglas led the way with 14, Varnado contributed 12 and Jeffrey Starks 10.

It wasn't quite enough, however, as Hardin County won 41-31.

Brighton (4-10 overall, 0-5 District 13AAA) played at Hardin County back in December and the game was not very competitive.

This time around, Brighton cut a double digit lead to 36-29 with 2:17 left in the game.

But the Lady Cardinals went cold down the stretch.

MHS girls edge Lady Trojans

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Munford's boys and girls traveled to Millington on Friday night and both teams were involved in close games.

The girls came out on top 44-42 behind a big night from Robneisha Lee. Millington won the boys game, 51-48.

In the girls game, Munford (16-4) trailed most of the game, falling behind by eight in the first quarter and three at halftime before outscoring the Lady Trojans 25-20 in the second half.

Lee had another strong performance with 25 points and Shaliyah Wiggins did damage from the perimeter and finished with 15. The duo scored SEE MHS, PAGE B2

With 5:12 left in the second quarter, Brighton forward Lorenzo Hunt drained a 3-pointer to put his team ahead 17-13.

But visiting Hardin County responded with a 14-0 run and never trailed again en route to a 68-47 District 13-AAA win over the Cardinals.

Jericho Williams scored four straight points early in the fourth quarter to cut Hardin County'd double digit lead to five points, but Hardin County surged again to secure the win.

“They've got to come together as one, and they displayed that tonight,” said Brighton head coach Darryle Rogers, whose team fell to 1-16 overall and 0-5 in the district.

“They played together early. We had a five-minute lapse.”

Jericho Williams led the Cardinals with 12 points. Hunt finished with 11 and Ty Cooper added 10.

Tanner McDivitt hit a 3-pointer with late in the second half to halt Hardin County's run.

It's been a tough season for the Cardinals.

Brighton's top two scorers last year, Demetrius Dyson and Jonathan Stark, both of whom are Division 1-caliber players, transferred to other schools for their senior seasons. Two other key players also left the team during the offseason, leaving Rogers with a roster full of freshmen and SEE BHS, PAGE B2

“I've been preaching patience all year,” Brighton coach Kent Cates said. “On defense we weren't moving the way we should and gave up some easy baskets. They're big girl killed us in the first half because we kept fouling her and she was making them.”

Hardin County center Emily Gray scored 13 for Hardin County, 10 of which came in the first half.

Morgan Willoughby led Hardin with 20.

Alaina Bierdz, who led Brighton with 14 points, hit a 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter to pull Brighton within eight points.

The Lady Cardinals have had to overcome several obstacles this year. One senior starter left the team early in the season and another has missed some recent games.

“Every corner there's been a little road block for us,” Cates said. “I think our girls are getting better. We're looking for small victories right now. We're looking to get better and I think we are. If we just keep fighting through these roadblocks, I think we'll eventually come out ahead.”

CHS

Continued from B1 book and CHS benefited from 23 Haywood turnovers in a 64-22 District 13-AA romp over the Lady Tomcats last Friday at Haywood.

Covington (18-2 overall, 8-1 district) maintained a firm grip on second place in the district while

Haywood fell to 1-18 for the year and 1-9 in district play.

CHS led 21-5 after one quarter and 39-9 at intermission.

Ashia Jones led the scoring with 14 points for the Lady Chargers.

Leshaundra Somerville added 13

along with some strong work on the boards.

Calandria Reed was the leading Haywood scorer with six points.

Garden of Eden. Satan has done his best to convince us that there is no use in trying to walk with God, that there is no benefit found in holiness, and even that Jesus Christ our Lord is the creation of the human mind. Some foolish people have fallen prey to his devices and will spend eternity in hell because of it. However, the truth remains, “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Untold millions have done so.

And, having trusted Him they find that He is bigger than any of their trials and problems.

All of us shall face the king of terrors spoken of in Job. That king is death. Our Lord, however, has conquered death. For the believer, death is not to be feared, but to be welcomed as the entrance into eternity. A testimony of a dying saint sums it up very well: “As for death, I fear it not; for, when I behold the amiable countenance of Jesus Christ, my dear Saviour, the ugly face of death doth not trouble me much.” How big is God? Bigger than all the needs of the whole world, and yet, He condescends to live in our hearts by faith.

SECOND SUNDAY AFTER EPIPHANY John 2:1-11

On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.

Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine." And Jesus said to her, "Woman, what concern is that to you and to me? My hour has not yet come." His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you." Now standing there were six stone water jars for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to them, "Fill the jars with water."

And they filled them up to the brim. He said to them, "Now draw some out, and take it to the chief steward." So they took it. When the steward tasted the water that had become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward called the bridegroom and said to him, "Everyone serves the good wine first, and then the inferior wine after the guests have become drunk. But you have kept the good wine until now." Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
