Last week, Sialene Wilcox asked the City of Covington for speed bumps in front of her Rose Street home. It's important, she said in a petition with 86 signatures, because speeding cars are a danger to the many children playing in the neighborhood. "I've seen so many children dash out in the street from the ages of two and up ‌ not paying attention," she said. "The biggest problem is the speeding cars not able to stop in time." Further, said Wilcox, there is a sign on the street that tells drivers to expect a speed bump even though there isn't one there. "I rode out there and there are a lot of children playing," police chief Buddy Lewis said. "We'll get out there and run radar to try to slow people down." The speed bump was removed when repairs to the sewer system began, city officials, but they're working on putting them back. SEE BUMP PAGE A3

The Tipton County Election Commission has released the names of people whose signed petitions have been accepted for the August election – and there's opposition for a few key offices. "It's nice to see people getting involved," Neil Bell, administrator of elections, said Tuesday. State representative Debra Moody (R-Covington) will be running for re-election to keep her seat in the state's 81st district and Rory Bricco, who ran unsuccessfully against her in 2012, will be running again.

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com For as long as he can remember, J. Cleaves has wanted to be a filmmaker. When Cleaves, 36, was a child growing up in Covington, he'd watch classics by renowned directors like Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson and Tyler Perry. But he didn't watch them like most kids did. Cleaves was more interested in things like cinematography and editing than explosions and car chases. “I was amazed how they did the transitions, the cuts, the production,� says Cleaves. “I always said when I got a chance to do something like that I would do it.� His chance came about five years ago when he joined forces with some other local film enthusiasts to write, produce and direct “Fast Money,� a film about three friends who SEE FILM PAGE A3
If the last two years are any indication of the way Atoka's new annual event will go, barbecue, music and a great time will be involved. And so will mud. The three-day event began Thursday with a dinner for sponsors – like title sponsors Joyner Heat and Air and Southwest Tennessee Electric Membership Cooperative – and a breezy, 80-degree evening. By Friday morning, however, it was much colder and the ground was covered in mud. "You deal with it," said Bill Scott, member of team F'N A BBQ. "There's always going to be mud at a barbecue festival." Nobody seemed to mind, really. In fact, some teams, like the Rib-Ka-Teers, set the tents on their sites up well in advance of the rain to ensure dry ground in

Though Cantrell hoped to represent District 6 on the school board, she actually filed a petition to run for county commissioner.

‘Hairspray’ set to open By SHERRI ONORATI Special to The Leader Back-to-back musical productions at the Ruffin Theater are keeping the historical community theater’s stage busy with excitement – even if one was unexpected. After wrapping up a successful three-week run of "A Closer Walk With Patsy Cline," which included an encore weekend, volunteers of the beloved theater have taken on the production of "Hairspray", a musical based on the book by Mark O’Donnell and Thomas Meehan. Directed by first-time director Jeff Moore, "Hairspray" opens this weekend on Friday, April 11 at 7 p.m., with a cast of local middle and high school students amidst a storm of controversy – which, makes it all the more compelling to see. Set in Baltimore, Md. in 1962, "Hairspray’s" storyline follows the antics of Tracy Turnblad, a plump and colorful teenager whose dream is to dance on the local dance show, The Corny Collins Show. After winning a spot on the show, Turnblad realizes the show separates black and white dancers and she’s not permitted to dance with her friends. She starts a campaign to integrate the popular show, to the chagrin of show’s producers. Based on the 1988 film of the same name, "Hairspray" is a musical written by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman.

regrets the error. "We made a mistake, no doubt about that," he siad. "If there was any legal way to fix it, we would. We've taken this all the way to Nashville to the chief attorney for the division of elections." Cantrell has since withdrawn the petition filed for District 6 commissioner. She cannot be listed on the ballot, but can run as a write-in candidate. It is not clear whether she'll still run, but she said she was eager to help parents while the school district transitioned to the Common Core State Standards, though she has spoken out against
CCSS implementation in many venues. "I really had my heart set on it," she said. "I want to help break it down for the parents, to be there so we have someone to explain all of the changes." She said though she was hopeful about being a member of the school board, she isn't upset with the election commission.
"I was very, very interested in it, I'm very bummed by the fact that it happened, but we're all human, we all make mistakes." Bell said, moving forward, procedures would be evaluated. "We do regret very much that it happened and the best we can do is give her her options and make sure this never happens again."

Continued from A1 decide to rob a local drug dealer. The movie came out in 2010. Now he and his partners – Covington natives Ulus Dye III and Douglas Baker, both 37 – have a new movie out the trio hopes will take their company, Beyond This World Film Productions, to the next level. The movie, “Turbulence and Love,” has already shown twice at Malco's Studio on the Square in Memphis as part of the theater's initiative to showcase independent films. The most recent showing was yesterday. According to Cleaves, the movie is about “love, war and emotion and the ultimate betrayal.” A trailer is available on YouTube and those watching will recognize the locations of some of the scenes. Covington locations include Marlo's, Pappy and Jimmie's and Whitey's Bar. The film was also shot in Brighton, Memphis and Nashville. Dye, who wrote the film, plays the lead character, Trayon, who is caught in a love triangle with his girlfriend and best friend. Baker, who handles marketing and public relations for the company, said the movie will be taken to the International Black Film Festival in Nashville next. “The immediate goal is to establish a regional foundation,” Baker says, “and ultimately be able to distribute the movies we have so far and build up a decent budget for upcoming films.” The trio, which also works closely with Pamela Dean and Brittany Thompson, has plans for future movies in various genres. Cleaves used to work at Slim Fast in Covington

and all three have held other jobs over the years. But now they're focused on movies. “Right now, this is our job,” Cleaves says. “This is what we want to do. We have a company. We're pursuing our dream.” “You've got to have a passion for this,” Dye says. “I eat, drink and breathe this.” Cleaves, Baker and Dye all have backgrounds in music. Dye has put out several records as a rapper that went by the name “Young U,” Baker is a performer and Cleaves has produced videos for Juicy J, who founded Three 6 Mafia, a wellknown rap group based in Memphis. The soundtrack for the movie comes exclusively
from local artists including Tony Ross, who, like Dye, Baker and Cleaves, graduated from Covington High School. It took about 50 people to produce “Turbulence and Love” and most of the cast and crew came from Covington and Tipton County. Cleaves said part of the company's goal is employ local talent and provide an outlet for young people. “It doesn't matter where you are from as long as you work hard at what you want to do,” Cleaves says. “You can do that no matter where you live. You can go to Hollywood, but just because you live in Covington it doesn't mean you can't do this. We want younger kids to know you don't have

more economical to put the asphalt down and take it back up when we redo the streets." The installation of the rubberized bumps require boring, he said, which is time-consuming. The cost of the asphalt bumps is estimated at $3,439 compared to $18,306 for a three-foot wide rubberized bump and $5,616 for a one-foot wide rubberized bump. "The asphalt is something we can do immediately, because this is an immediate concern," Black said.
Continued from A1 Though last week the public works committee decided to install rubberized speed bumps that would be easier on cars than their asphalt counterparts, on Tuesday, the Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted to install the asphalt bumps instead. "The asphalt is a temporary fix because we're in a hurry," alderman Tommy Black said. "The streets are in such disarray and it's
to go out there stealing, robbing. You can work for us. We want to keep you out of trouble.” Auditions for the company's next movie, a horror flick called “The Nature Trail,” will be held April 25 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Quality Inn in Covington. "Fast Money" can be purchased on the company's website: www.btwfilmproductions. com. The company's new movie will be available on the website soon. In the meantime, Cleaves, Dye and Baker will continue doing what they do. “We're all relentless when it comes to making films,” says Cleaves. “We want a positive light to shine on Covington.”

FLASHBACK
The story of Albert the Alligator My father used to tell my brother and me Albert the Alligator stories when I was a child. He would make them up while we lie there, waiting for more. I wrote this one for him, in celebration of his 80th birthday, this coming April 24. Once upon a time there was an alligator named Albert. Stop me if you’ve heard this story before. (You haven’t, so I’ll keep going.) Albert the Alligator lived in the swarmy, murky bayous of Louisiana. He would swim, splish, splash, and eat fish all day long. One sunny afternoon, while he was out for his exercise, he came upon a piroux. And in that piroux sat the strangest creature Albert had ever seen! Why, what was that? It was an ugly thing, pink and soft and it made an awful noise, rather like a cat Albert had been lucky enough to snap up. The ugly creature was a little scary to Albert, because it was so, so, so…..well, LOUD. “Hush there, noisy, scary little monster, you!” said Albert, in a low voice. Albert was not sure whether to act all “alligator” and growl, or what exactly. Albert swiftly looked around, as alligators are known to do; SOUTHERN FRANCE he wanted to make sure he was FRANCE GASQUET alone for what he was about to do. There is nothing worse than a bad alligator ribbing from another of your kind. “What is the matter with you?” Albert whispered louder, trying to ever so gently croon. “Who’s talking to me?” the hideous creature asked, sniffling and blowing its nose on the arm of its skin. “It is I, Albert the Alligator. Who else do you think it would be?” Albert snorted. Surely this creature did not think the snakes would have been so kind. As it was, this thing was lucky Albert had has his fill of fish for the afternoon. “I’m hot, I’m lost, I’m scared ... and now, now, now I’m hearing voices from the bayou. Oh, boo hoo!” The piroux started to rock back and forth, as the blubbering in the small boat became just horrible. Albert was beside himself. To think, this miserable being was making such a scene in his bayou. Nothing good could come of this. Somewhere, someone, clearly a mama, was missing her ... ugly. Albert said to the piroux, “What’s your name?” To which he heard the most measly reply: “Bobby Thibedeaux.” “Are you hurt? Because you sure are, well, you look like you might be hurt.” Bobby said in a gravelly voice, “No. But I’m lost. I wasn’t supposed to get in the piroux, but I didn’t listen. It’s so pretty and I was just going to sit in it. I feel asleep and now I don’t know where I am.” Albert nodded his head gravely, “I understand. I was a youngling once.” Bobby seemed relieved. “Did you wander off?” “No,” said Albert. “But my friends did.” “What happened?” said Bobby, hanging on to his new friend’s words. “They became belts,” said Albert. Bobby did not find this amusing and the dreaded howling began again. Albert could not take anymore of this. He asked the thing what he remembered about the bayou, where the piroux had been, and Bobby told him. Albert guided the piroux with his snout. He hummed softly, hoping that would calm the noise from within or at best, muffle the sound. Around the bend he went, until he entered an area he hadn’t been to in a long time. He remembered this well. This was the bayou that was not for him. The bayou where bad things could happen to good alligators. He looked back into the piroux. No wonder this creature had looked so ugly to him. It was a small human, after all. Albert realized he had a choice. The boy was already lost, he could stay lost. But, once, long long ago….Albert was set free. Yes, so it was down the commode into the bayou by way of the sewer, but all the same, he was a free alligator. And now, he was going to free the child. He pushed the piroux to a pier and then swam off and waited. He watched. After what seemed like an eternity, the boy was found and lifted from the piroux. Strangely though, he seemed to be searching the waters. “Whatever is he looking for?” thought Albert. And then Albert realized. The boy was looking for his friend. Him. Perhaps it was meant to be. Perhaps this ugly creature was something special, Albert thought to himself. And so, Albert raised his large head from the murky masses and smiled his best toothy grin. And Bobby Thibedeaux, well, he smiled back.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Problem with 911 This letter has a dual purpose. One is to praise and the other to complain out of concern for me and my fellow Tipton Countians. I pulled into my driveway at about 11 a.m. last Thursday to find flames licking out a window of my neighbor’s home. The Covington Fire Department, including the chief and a city official responsible for the department, police department officers, Covington Public Works staff and Covington Electric staff, were at the scene within four minutes of the call to 911. All are to be commended for their prompt and professional response. I cannot say the same for 911 staff. When I called 911, the number rang four or five times with no answer. I was standing in swirling smoke trying to hear over the sound of breaking glass and flames beginning to run up the wall of the home.

the girls whined to play, especially with the limited space. We had to be careful not to knock out the window lights, but Momma sat in her favorite chair on the sagging wooden porch in front of the double windows to protect the glass. But, the bedroom window was guarded with two, one by sixes, stood up on the ends. Ain’t rednecks smart? Continuously refereeing, Momma would shade her eyes with her right hand, flag the ball down with her left hand or stomp it like two-step dancing with a mad water moccasin. But, don’t break the glass or chip the window sill. Our softballs were just that... soft…as the meringue on a lemon ice-box pie. But when the balls got mushy, we’d speed to Mr. Ben’s store. Mr. Harber, Mr. T. D. Wylie or Mr. Leon would wrap them with sea grass string and tightly cover with black friction tape. The ball would be harder than an exmother in law’s heart. The bats were “hand-me downs” from older boys with broken handles, filled with tacks and small nails, then wrapped with the sticky black friction tape. But, we solved that problem with a few handfuls of dirt viciously rubbed on the handle. This worked every time. Just “pore” country kids making memories and having a ball of a time…GLORY!

Then my phone started ringing. It was 911 calling me back to find out what I wanted. I reported the fire and location. The dispatcher who answered the phone kept pestering me with questions. I answered what I could all the time telling her that it was much more important to get emergency responders on the way as the information asked for had to do with who lived in the house, were they home, etc. There was nothing that could not be ascertained after the dispatch of emergency services. The 911 staff called me a second time to get my name and phone number. I had already given my name and I apparently mistakenly assumed that the 911 system would record a number when someone called in. I had after all been called by them at the number that was being asked for. It seemed that it took less time for the fire department, et al, to ar-

rive and take action than it did for 911 to answer the phone. I am advised that there are three operators on duty in the 911 center at any given time and I had to be called back. This raises serious questions and concerns. Someone explain to all of us who pay for and count on this service why the initial call was not answered so that services could be promptly deployed. How many times has this happened? How many times does 911 call someone back because they did not answer an initial call? Why did someone not stay on the line to get all needed information after services had been dispatched? Having been an administrator responsible for staff manning a 24-7 operations/dispatch center, I am not ignorant of the issues and problems confronting 911. My center had only one operator on duty

To learn about long-term care insurance solutions, contact your financial advisor. • Invest for growth and rising income. Health care costs typically rise as you move further into retirement, so make sure that a reasonable portion of your assets is allocated to investments with the potential for both growth and rising income. • Think about health care directives. If you were to become incapacitated, you might be unable to make health care decisions — and these decisions may affect not only your quality of life but also your financial situation, and that of your family. Talk to your legal advisor about establishing a health care directive, which allows you to name someone to make choices on your behalf. Health care costs during your retirement may be unavoidable. But by anticipating these costs, you can put yourself in a position to deal with them — and that’s a healthy place to be.

Continued from A4 at a time. Not three. It all comes down to adequate, up front and ongoing training and hands on supervision of staff who fill such a crucial role. The other key ingredient is holding individuals accountable for their performance. We citizens have the right to expect competent performance of duties by those whom we pay to protect us from harm. This is especially true for 911 as that operation is the first first responder. Every second is crucial in responding to an emergency. Usually, lives

amount of poor animals that are euthanized. My mom wanted to get her two small dogs neutered so I went to two different veterinarian clinics to see who much it would cost. I was really surprised to the answers that I got. One clinic said it would cost $91 for two shots. The other said it would cost $140. This was just for one dog. When a person is in a fixed income or not, it is a high price to pay. There should be a way to lower the price so pets can be neutered or spayed for everybody one week

And, odds are, the person that hits you will be uninsured or only minimally insured. The first number listed by your uninsured motorist, whether it be $25,000 or $50,000, $100,000 or even more is the amount that you have decided that all your possible injuries are worth if you get hit by such a driver. Given that the life flight from Tipton County to the med is over $10,000, it’s hard to understand how $25,000, which is the state minimum, is ever going to be enough. And if you have fallen for one of those TV ads claiming that 15% can be saved off your car insurance, many a times that savings is simply them taking the UM off your policy. You need to go read it. After all you may not plan to fail but many people fail to plan. Be careful out there.

Race raises more than $100K for LeBonheur
By FRANCE GASQUET fgasquet@covingtonleader.com
Last Saturday, more than 800 people were in attendance and more than 600 adults and 95 children crossed the finish line for the 2014 Go Lucy Go 5k/Kids' Fun Run. The race, which is the primary fundraiser for the Go Lucy Go Foundation, has helped to raise more than $100,000 for LeBonheur, according to Kate Krull, foundation co-founder. The foundation took shape several years ago as a way to pay forward thanks to those who had been so kind to the Krull family when they were at their most vulnerable. In February 2011, little Lucy was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer, Medulloblastoma. After countless surgeries, two rounds of meningitis, chemotherapy, radiation and nearlymonth-long stays at LeBonheur, Lucy has defied the odds. Having formed close bonds with the team at LeBonheur and other families in similar situations, the Krulls wanted to be able to provide some peace and comfort during a family’s stay at LeBonheur. Examples of the foundation’s work include providing family grants to assist with the non medical needs of families and funding travel and education for key personnel of the neuroscience floor at LeBon-

Let us be honest By RICK HUFFMAN Gilt Edge Church of Christ We often confuse or miss label “union” for “unity." A preacher gave this fitting description of union to illustrate that it is not the same as unity. A little boy tied the tails of his two pet cats together and threw them over the clothesline, one landing on one side of the line and another on the other side. You can imagine what happened. There was a union there, an unwanted union, but certainly not unity. Both scrambling to find a way out of their predicament, they clawed and scratched, bit and shoved against each other. You can have a union and often do without unity. In a union, you may be together but you may not want to be as was the case with the cats. In unity, we work together for a common good, unlike the two cats who worked against each other, each concerned only about his own well-being. The name of our country, United States, does not always describe who we are. Abraham Lincoln quoting the Bible said, “A house divided against itself cannot stand." (Mat. 12:25) Our country was once described as a “melting pot” where those who came to our country gave up their homeland and old ways to adopt the standards and ideals of their new country. Today each group wants to keep their old language, their old laws and ways and a distinct identity to the point they are disrespectful of the U.S. and what it stands for. Instead of these adapting their ways to those of their new country, we are being forced to allow them to never really become a part of us (US) by being required among other things to educate them in their native tongue and accommodate their customs even when they
contradict the common good and the very laws of our land (US). There are mini-Israel’s, miniCuba’s, mini- Mexico’s, etc. all across our country. We are forced to accept those who claim to be citizens but actively seek to overthrow our country and imperil our way of life. We are forced to accept the reprehensible behavior and morals of others that are clearly unnatural and condemned by the Bible and that go against the moral values and Christian principles on which our country was founded and whose activities are directed at destroying the very moral fabric of our great nation. We do this in the guise of not being discriminatory and respecting the liberty of the individual. Isa 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Another term that has been confused with or incorrectly referred to as “unity” is “toleration." Amos raised a rhetorical question centuries before Christ. Am 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed? The answer is as obvious now as it was then. No, we cannot walk together (in unity) unless we agree. Agreeing to disagree (on doctrine, worship, the plan of salvation, etc.) is not unity. Disagreeing without being disagreeable is not unity. It is merely toleration. Many religious organizations affirm that you do not have to belong to their organization to be saved and that it does not matter where you go to church. If they really believe that, why not, in the name of and for the sake of unity and so that the world will believe in Christ as the Lord fervently prayed (John 17:2021), give up their religion? The truth is they do not think 1)
all religions are the same, 2) that it does not matter what one believes, 3) how one worships God or 4) what one does to be saved. The truth is different religions are not really united at all except perhaps in name only. Saying it, we are united, does not make it so. The only true basis for unity is in agreeing on the Bible as the only authority and letting it be the final word in matters of faith and practice. Phil 1:27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel. We must be of the same mind believing and doing the same thing. Phil 2: 2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. I Pe 3:8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: We have to walk by the same rules, the Bible and the Bible only. We cannot be led by what we think the Bible says, by what our interpretation of what it says is or by what we want it to say but we must be led by what it actually says! Phil 3: 16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. So let’s be honest with God and ourselves, do we really want unity? Are we willing to pay the price? Are we willing to accept the Bible as God’s only authority and be guided by it and it alone? Are we willing to do it God’s way? Or are we content to continue as we are in defiance of the Lord’s solemn request to the father just hours before his betrayal and crucifixion?
In 1961 a group of men from the Atoka United Methodist Church visited the Laity Conference at Lake Junaluska, North Carolina and were inspired by a production of “The Last Supper” done by the laymen of the First Methodist Church, Portsmouth, Virginia. On
their return to Atoka they immediately took on the task of creating scenery, making costumes and selecting a cast. Forming what would become a close knit group of men of faith the Atoka United Methodist Men went on to give over 70 performances of “The Living Dramatization of the Last Supper” to various churches and groups throughout Western
Tennessee. This year on Palm Sunday, April 13 at 5 p.m., the men from the Atoka United Methodist Church will once again be performing “The Living Dramatization of the Last Supper” and cordially invite you and your families to join them as they give their 74th performance.

The Civil War in Tipton County
By RUSSELL BAILEY Tipton County Historian
On Oct. 22, 1863, Gen. James Chalmers had “succeeded in collecting and organizing the scattered and independent cavalry in North Mississippi into some military order…many of my men are unarmed and poorly equipped.” Col. W. F. Slemmons’s brigade, 1,330 soldiers, included the six companies of the 7th Tennessee Cavalry. Company I, from Tipton, was commanded by Capt. James R. Alexander and numbered approximately 35 of the regiment’s 210 troopers. The other three companies of the 7th Tennessee were on detached service. (Company B., organized at Mason’s Depot numbered nearly 78 men under the command of Capt. James P. Russell and was stationed at Grenada, Miss. serving as escort for Gen. W. W. Loring.) Tipton’s soldiers in the 12th Tennessee cavalry commanded by Lt. Col. John Uriah
Green of Covington, remained in Col. Robert V. Richardson’s brigade of 903 soldiers of which the 12th Tennessee numbered 300 men. Approximately 100 of these men were from Tipton County. At New Albany, Miss., on Oct. 28, Col. Richardson, commanding northeast Mississippi, was ordered to attack points along the Memphis and Charleston railroad east of Lagrange to disrupt the passage of Federal reinforcements to Chattanooga. Before he left, Richardson wrote in part to his commander: "For God and the country's sake, make your fair promising but never complying quartermaster send me skillets, ovens, pots or anything else that will bake bread or fry meat. I want clothing, shoes and blankets for my naked and freezing men…send me skillets, 225 in number. I cannot fight anymore until I get something to cook in." The Memphis (Union) Bulletin newspaper reported on Oct. 29, 1863: “…We learn that (Capt. James L.) Garrison
Jamestown DarSay Burton Greetings. I’ve been enjoying these milder days; even with some rain, the days aren’t at all too bad now. Over the past weekend, I traveled to St. Louis with my family, Rev. Pearl Andrews and Annette Lake, along with friends of our family, Albertina Brooks and Cecilia Collins. Rev. Andrews was the keynote speaker at a cancer benefit affiliated with St. James M. B. Church of Illinois on Saturday afternoon. Jamestown is getting all geared up for this year’s graduations. Charles Mosley Jr., son of Charles Sr. and Janet, is graduating Brighton High School and headed to University of Tennessee-Knoxville in the fall. Ashley Andrews, daughter of the Reverends Andrews (Romel and Pearl), now of Atoka, is finishing her undergraduate studies at Middle Tennessee State University, as is Dominique Elkins, daughter of Debra Elkins and granddaughter of LaRue Albritton
Almyra Libby Click Hi everyone. Well, my baby girls are a year older as of this Wednesday, the 9th. Terri Ann Barber and Sherri Ann Kidd turned 43 this week. Ha, ha, I told your age! I’m so proud of them. Happy birthday, girls! I also have another special happy birthday on the 9th, to my great grandson, little Jackson Bruce Peebles, who lives in Clinton, Miss. He will be one year old. Take good care of him, Elizabeth! Love you, all. Life is such a special gift and blessing. Three Star Fire Department
and (Col. John F.) Newsom, two noted rebel leaders, are playing a highhanded game with persons and property in the upper portions of Shelby and Tipton counties... they made their appearance at the residence of Dr. B. R. Gaither, in Tipton County, and took away three head of horses and committed other depredations upon his property. They are arresting every man they can find who is able to bear a musket, and they declare it to be their intention to take away all the able bodied men in the county to the rebel conscript camps, there to be placed in the service of Jefferson I, king of rebeldom.” The month of October 1863 was an unhappy one for Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest. Army of Tennessee commanding Gen. Braxton Bragg ordered part of Forrest’s Division to duty with Gen. Joseph Wheeler. Shortly thereafter, Bragg ordered Wheeler to command all the army’s cavalry. Forrest’s remaining troops were ordered to report to Wheeler. Some of these troops

were men that Forrest had raised, organized and equipped from captures from the Federals. Forrest took these acts as a personal affront. He wrote a letter of protest to Bragg and resigned. Afterwards he went to the headquarters tent of Bragg and cursed and denounced the General. President Jefferson Davis was visiting the Army of Tennessee about this time. Davis learned of Forrest’s request for transfer from the army. Two weeks later Davis asked Forrest to meet him in Montgomery where the two rode together by train to Atlanta. On Oct. 29, 1863, President Jefferson Davis wrote Brig. Gen. Forrest: “Your application for a transfer to North Mississippi and West Tennessee is granted…Your request for Woodward’s and McDonald’s battalions, and a battery,…to form a nucleus of an organization, has been referred to Gen. Bragg…You will proceed to the new field of duty to which you are hereby assigned, for the purposes designated in your application.”
Hopewell M. B. Church, also in Mason.) We are preparing for our church’s 16th anniversary on the first Sunday afternoon in May at 2 p.m. Pastor Steven Miller Sr. and first lady Dorothy Miller are the leaders of North Star Community Church, 3966 Frayser-Raleigh Road, Memphis, where yours truly is one of the ushers. The public is invited. I’ll be expecting all of my family and dear friends. Brother Amos Miller of Jamestown is one of our board members. This is all for this month. I'm sending a special anniversary wish to Mr. and Mrs. Richard Montgomery Hayes of Ripley on April 7; it will be 52 years for this beautiful couple, who just happen to be my cousin Ethel and husband. Back in the day, in high school at George R. Ellis in Munford, Miss Ethel White was our English teacher, a very firm but fair one! They’re the parents of three handsome sons, Leonard, Daron and the Rev. Alton Wayne, pastor of Unity Baptist Church in Nashville. Remember, “Life’s little moments make for big events.” Until next time.
The church phone number is 901461-5762. We are located one mile east of Highway 14 at the corner of Dunlap Orphanage Road and Beaver Creek Road at Sharon Church. A nursery is also available. Visit our website at www. opendoorbaptisttipton.org. In closing, Mr. Bill and I went to see the movie, "God’s Not Dead." It is absolutely phenomenal! A must see for all, especially your teenagers. Give them the money, parents, you will be glad you did. While at the Reagan Day Dinner on Saturday evening, Marianne Dunavant introduced the guest speaker, Mr. Steve Gill. He also commented on this movie, and how there will be a limited engagement in select movie theaters.
Senator Lamar Alexander, U.S. Representative Stephen Fincher, Tennessee State Senate Majority Leader Mark Norris and my dear friend, Tennessee State Representative Debra Moody, were introduced. It is so inspiring to be active in our normal way of doing things such as the Lord’s Prayer, Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem; it is the way we were raised and I pray our future generations will be able to continue. It is a much-needed prayer. As Ronald Reagan quoted, "I don’t believe in a government that protects us from ourselves." We are the people of the United States of America. Make it a great week everyone!
Tribute to a Father and a Friend On Sunday, March 30, 2014 our father, Curt Rhoads, age 85, died at his rural Fort Pillow home in his sleep. He retired from farming on land purchased at Price Community by his father, Cary Rhoads Sr. In 1937, he bought the Sunk Lake for $5 an acre. He also owned the Blackwell farm between Three Points and the Sunk Lake farm; untouched timber land. One of our sharecroppers, Saul Bursey, helped clear the land, 20 or so acres at a time, with axes and cross-cut saws. Those acres were planted in corn for feed. Later on, Bill Smith and others would clear larger areas by bull dozers. They would go by mule wagon through woods on Fort Pillow Prison and Farm to get to Rhoads Acres. One day, Saul said, “Mr. Curt, this is a plum and nearly place.” Our father asked what he meant. Saul replied, "Plum out the county and nearly out the world!” Timber was cut at flood stage of the Mississippi River and rafted to Memphis. Two spikes with chain links between were pounded in the log ends to make a circle or a long train like line. At age 39, Curt had a major heart attack. His sons, Philip, 12, and Randy, 10, drove the two-cylinders John Deere plowing. Curt’s brother, Cary “Pie” Rhoads Jr., planted the soybeans. Dr. C. R. Webb told Curt he had to buy a self-propelled combine for fall harvest. He did. He never missed another farming season. Over the years, Dr. Webb would tell Curt, “Whatever you’re doing, I’m gonna do the same if I have a heart attack.” Between farming seasons in 1955, he drove a trailer truck hauling steel from Memphis to Bolivar. This was for additions on Western Mental Health Institute. Philip recalls many stories that his father told about patients rolling in front of the truck tires begging him to run over them. He said one night a badly beaten and bloodied male patient came running
into a room he was rebuilding. The man begged Curt to hide him, as attendants were going to kill him. Curt had him hide in a closet. Two attendants came into room inquiring as to whether a male patient had come in. They left after Curt told them no. The next day, the male patient found Curt outside mixing concrete and thanked him for saving his life. Curt never hesitated to get out of bed at night to pull some hunter or fisherman out of Anderson Tully woods or Cold Creek; never asked for a nickel. One day he pulled State Senator Harold Ford’s father’s truck out of Cold Creek. Curt single-handedly built his farm shops, his house, his four children’s houses on Highway 87, Parkview Church of Christ, and the parsonage on Cooper Creek Rd. Some church members helped on the church. His sons and son-in-law, Donnie Benjamin, helped on all the buildings in between their jobs and farming. While shingling the parsonage, a carpenter stopped and climbed up on the roof. “Need some help?” Curt said, “Fine, if you want paid the same amount I get.” The carpenter started nailing, stopped and asked how much an hour you make? Curt responded “Nothing, I volunteered for this.” The carpenter got off the roof and drove away! On April 8, 2002, during Child Abuse Prevention Month, Curt Rhoads was among a group of Lauderdale County professionals and citizens given Citations of Appreciation by Tennessee Department of Children’s Service Team Coordinator, Philip Rhoads, and County Executive Rozelle Criner. In the winter of 1964 or thereabout, his neighbor, Elsie Napper, her daughter Loretta, a 16-year-old African-American mother, gave birth to twins at their home. They asked Curt if he would take the mother and one baby to Lauderdale County Hospital as the
baby’s breathing was poor. The county hospital refused to see them as they had no money or insurance. The mother was told to take the baby to John Gaston Hospital in Memphis. Curt drove them to Memphis in five inches of snow and ice. The baby was admitted. The doctor told the mother that the baby was premature and that the other twin needed to be brought in immediately. Curt returned to Fort Pillow. Curt told the mother if she couldn’t find someone to take her back to Memphis he would be ready to go again. The mother found a family friend to take them. One twin died. According to Alberta Winbush Parham at Fulton, as an adult the other twin moved to Detroit, Mich. and recorded several records. Three weeks later, 3-year-old great granddaughter,CayralynnBlackman, came through their Florida kitchen with a crutch like stick under her arm. Her mother, Jessica, asked what was wrong. Caralynn replied, “I ‘tending I’m Grandpa Curt.” Curt was always telling people that everything in his house came from Sears but his bed. Everybody would fall in the trap by asking him why. He would grin and respond, “Sears stands behind everything they sell. Nobody stands behind my bed!” If you don’t have an hour to spare, start talking to the Rhoad...I’ve got more wild stories than you can count. Sometimes they get bigger as they are retold so many times; the events are all true, many are captured in photographs. Our father has given us his 85 years of experiences in fatherly training by living and doing the right thing for everybody without expectation of payment. He was a friend to everybody he met. He would be pleased to know his friends pay their respect by not spending good money for flowers. The family suggests donations be

Main St., Ripley, TN 38063 - Make-A-Wish Foundation, 1780 Mariah Woods Blvd., Suite 10, Memphis, TN 38117 Cards can be sent to: Betty Rhoads and family at: 14275 Hwy. 87 W., Henning, TN 38041. Services: Visitation: Friday. April 4th, 2014 Funeral: Saturday. April 5th, 2014 Burial: Ripley Gardens, Old Hwy. 51, towards Henning on the right. Feel free to bring a snack or lunch sack, you can go back right back to work and eat on the way back to work. He probably has before or would. If you need to leave before the services are complete, feel “free” to stand up and give a “thumbs up” and exit quietly. He and is kin thank you for coming. If Curt had his input, he would have chosen his obituary to read: Services, April 1st at 6:00 a.m. He would not like us “burning day light,” some “need” to be farming. He would be thrilled that this could be his last April Fool’s joke. We needed to have time for families and friends from out of state to come in from Florida, Arkansas and Texas. As his firstborn son, I inherited a “Biblical double-portion blessing” of his extra personality gene. I am what he and mother made me. “I am what I am,” and proud of my heredities. Philip Rhoads

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to see more people- parents and members of the community at largeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;come to this fair. Businesses want to share what is happening right
now in their industries. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know it, but there is hidden treasure in Tipton County,â&#x20AC;? said Fisher.

SOFTBALL ROUNDUP
MHS takes second at Covington tourney CHS defeats Bolton, falls to Halls, Munford, Obion County
Dyersburg defeats Munford in tourney title game By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com
Munford Lady Cougar softball coach Glenn Goulder and his players could be having nightmares about Dyersburg. The Lady Cougars rolled through the competition at the Covington Invitational over the weekend, beating each team they played – except Dyersburg. Dyersburg beat Munford 5-2 in round robin play on Friday and 4-1 on Saturday in the title game. The Lady Trojans, who were 16-2 after winning the Covington tournament, also beat Munford in the season opener. “I was pretty pleased with the way we played overall,” said Goulder. “I would have hoped we would have played a little better in the championship against Dyersburg … I think we've been hitting the ball pretty well, though.” In the title game, Munford (188) got a solo homer from Tori Ray in the top of the fourth to trim Dyersburg's lead to 2-1, but the Lady Trojans answered with two runs in the bottom of the inning to regain control of the game. Ray also singled. A double by Jodie Duncan and singles from Sam Scott and Christina Cantrell accounted for Munford's only other two runs. Scott struck out three and allowed nine hits over six innings. Dyersburg scored four runs in the top of first inning on Friday and made the lead hold up. Ray had a solo homer in the game Haley Whitney drove in a run. Duncan, Cantrell, Ashlee Wil-
By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com The learning curve continues to be a steep one for the youthful Covington softball team (5-12, 3-1). Covington (5-12 overall, 3-1 district) went 1-3 at its annual softball tournament over the weekend. Halls defeated CHS 8-7 on Friday. The killer was a five-run Lady Tiger fifth inning. Covington scored four in the sixth to get to the final margin but could not get over the hump. Hannah Clifton had a pair of singles and one RBI. Tierra Williams tripled and drove in three and Alli McDivitt scored a run and had one RBI. The lone tourney win came against Bolton 8-2 on Saturday. Clifton got the win.

Hill signs with Lincoln Memorial By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Munford senior soccer player Jaylen Hill was looking for more than a good soccer team when he was narrowing his college choices. He believes he found everything he was looking for in Lincoln Memorial University, located in the Cumberland Gap area about 55 miles north of Knoxville. Hill signed a scholarship with the school last week. The soccer team is chock full of international players, something that Hill believes will benefit him in various ways. “The team just captivated me the way they play,” said Hill. “I think it will be great place for me to grow as a person and a soccer player.” SEE HILL, PAGE A23

Chargers defeat top teams in tourney By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com
The Covington Charger baseball team faced some tough competition last week in the USA Classic in Millington and fared well overall. Covington (14-9 overall, 3-0 district) ranked 10th in the Tennessee Baseball Coaches Association poll, started strong in the loaded national field of the tournament with a 6-5 win over Louisville Trinity last Wednesday. Matt Folk relieved in the sixth inning. He fanned three and got the win by virtue of two CHS runs in the top of the seventh. John Hayden Bowers got the save, snuffing a Trinity rally in the seventh. Dalton Carlton paced the offense with a single and a triple and Brad Walker singled in a pair of runs. Ethan Whitley singled twice. Extra innings were needed to defeat Murfreesboro Magnet in round two on Thursday. The 11-10 win took eight innings. Covington spotted the Tigers seven runs in the top of the third and then erased the deficit scoring four runs in the third and fourth innings. After Murfreesboro came back to tie with three in the top of the seventh, it took “small ball” to end it. Bowers reached and was put in scoring position at third after a perfect sacrifice from John Michael Cannon. Bradyn McClain provided the dagger, singling in the game winner. Walker had a three-hit day and Jaylen Jones a pair of singles. CHS came up on the short end of a slugfest 13-11 against Fayetteville.

HILL
Continued from A22 Hill has been a big reason for the Cougars' resurgence the last three years. He has started 46 of his 52 career games, racking up 19 goals and 10 assists. Hill, an attacking midfielder, has three assists and three goals so far this year. “Jaylen controls the midfield,” said Munford coach Kyle Selby. “People try and man mark him, but that's just not something you're going to be able to do. He's dominant with the ball.” He started off his career at Munford playing defender, but his offensive capabilities prompted a move forward. “He can pass and score,” Selby said. “I think he's going to do well at the next level. There are a lot of foreign players on that roster. To get a kid from Munford on that roster is pretty impressive.” Hill said he plans on learning from the international players at Lincoln Memorial. The roster includes players from Brazil, Germany and England. “I'm going to absorb what I see in each and every player and try and reflect that in the way I play,” Hill said.
