Covington passes $22.8M budget By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com During a public hearing that no one attended except for city department heads, the City of Covington passed its 2012-2013 $22.8 million budget during its third and final reading during Tuesday’s night Board of Mayor and Aldermen. The budget accounts for an approximate $1.6 million increase over FY 2011-2012. Partially funded by more
than $9.6 million in local taxes, fees and fines, the rest of the city’s available budget revenue comes from monies raised by the city’s various departments and grants, including a $700 expected collection from the city cemetery, R.H. Munford. Budget expenditures from the General Fund for the upcoming fiscal year will include $3.6 million for Board of Aldermen, $96,000 for the city attorney, $1.9 million for the Covington Police Department, $1.3
million for Covington Fire Department, $370,200 for maintenance of Covington Sportsplex and $187,000 for grounds maintenance. Additional expenditures will include $150,800 for the Tipton County Museum, Veterans Memorial and Nature Center, $14,300 for the annual BBQ festival, $86,000 for community development, $54,000 for the drug fund and $477,300 for the administration and maintenance of the city’s airport.
Ordinance 1629 also passed Tuesday night, detailing the adoption and continued practice of keeping the city’s tax rate at $1.19 per $100 of taxable property, real and personal. The rate has not been changed for several years. Also approved during the meeting was the list of 501 (c) (3) organizations, which will each receive a portion of $254,000 set aside by the city to assist non-profits. New to the list this year is the Boys &
Girls Club of the Hatchie River, which will receive $25,000. Other monetary changes for the city include an increase in court costs, rising from $75 to $105. The Board of Mayor and Aldermen meet the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at 5:30 p.m. at Covington City Hall. The public is invited and encouraged to attend. City Hall is located at the corner of Munford and Washington streets.

Chinese chefs experience Claybrook Farms By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com It seems a little strange, but earlier this week a dozen chefs flew halfway around the world to meet Dave Turner's heifers. Oh, and to pick discarded cobs out of one of his cornfields, too. "We appreciate anybody coming to our place to see what generations of American agriculture has produced," said Turner, a sixth generation farmer at Claybrook Farms. The group consisted of executive chefs who won a cooking contest in China sponsored by the Denverbased U.S. Meat Export Federation. The USMEF says it is a nonprofit trade association working to create new opportunities and develop existing international markets for U.S. beef, pork, lamb and veal. USMEF has offices in Seoul, Tokyo, Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore, Taipei, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Mexico City, Monterrey and Brussels, as well as special market representatives covering China, the Middle East, Central and South America

and the Caribbean. "Our goal is to get more people to eat U.S. meat," said Steve Mo, a USMEF marketing manager from Guangzhou, China, who acted as the group's guide and interpreter. Mo said six months ago a cooking contest was conceived as a way to help promote U.S. pork. "We asked them to have a cooking contest and use a recipe as a promotion in
their restaurant," he said. The winners received a trip to the United States to learn more about farming and cattle production. They arrived in Memphis on Saturday and had dinner at Sweet Grass, one of the 15 restaurants Claybrook Farms supplies with premium angus beef, on Sunday. Before traveling to Covington Monday afternoon, the group had lunch at
Helen's BBQ in Brownsville. While touring Claybrook Farms' fields on Antioch Hwy., the chefs were excited to walk in a corn field in the middle of being harvested, picking up discarded cobs and eating kernels of corn. They posed for photos in the field, watched the combine make its way through rows upon rows of corn

Continuing the tradition of service By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com For the 13th consecutive year, more than 75 sailors from Naval Support Activity Mid-South descended upon the Tipton County Museum, Veterans Memorial and Nature Center earlier this week to volunteer their time to perform grounds maintenance and facility upkeep. The annual community service event is one of the many tasks, newly selected Chief Petty Officers perform during a six-week initiation and training phase designed to prepare them for the increased duties and responsibilities as Navy Chiefs. “Giving back to the community is one of the greatest traits of the Navy that has been passed on to many generations,” said Culinary Specialist Senior Chief Petty Officer Felipe Tubera. “It is a privilege for the NSA Mid-South Chief Petty Officers and Chief Petty Officer selectees to be able to help in preserving this museum, is a place where memories are kept alive to remind us all of the sacrifices that have been made by those who have come and gone this way.” Museum director Alice Fisher said her favorite time of the year is when the men and women of the Naval Support Activity arrive in Tipton County. “The Covington Parks and Recreation Depart-
ment as well as the City of Covington and Tipton County officials are thankful for the continued support of the Navy chiefs and chief selects each year,” said Fisher. “Maintaining such a large facility is an expensive and time-consuming endeavor. We feel very fortunate to have been adopted by such a wonderful group of people. As always, this group of sailors preformed much needed ground and building maintenance, saving the City of Covington and Tipton County thousands of dollars. They do a wonderful job, and we are thankful to have been chosen as one of their annual community projects.” Mid-South Navy Band Musician Chief selectee Erin Horn said the day was a wonderful lesson in teamwork. “It has been an exercise in communication and teamwork,” said the New York native. “We have so many different activities to do during our initiation season. We are definitely learning efficiency by coming together to get the job done.” Planning for the annual event begins in the early spring, said Fisher, with both the Covington Public Works and Parks and Recreation Departments working together to coordinate equipment, manpower and schedules. “This is a tremendous day for us at the museum and preparation for Navy Day begins in May. Pub-
lic Works Director Robert M. Simpson and Parks & Recreation Director Amy Payne assist with planning,” said Fisher. “This work day could not happen with help from the Public Works Department, whose staff is on hand throughout the day to assist the Navy selectees.” The Museum, located at 751 Bert Johnson Ave. in Covington, has been designated as a wooded wildlife sanctuary and contains 20 acres of woods and wetlands, including a winding halfmile walking trail. Working side by side, genuine chiefs and chief selects worked tirelessly to clear the grounds of excess undergrowth, cleared trails and cleaned out and rebuilt drainage trenches to prevent flooding. “Many people don’t realize we sit on 20 acres,” said Fisher. “Maintaining the trail, the wetland and pond areas, the landscape museum grounds and the Museum itself is a tremendous job. The Naval Support Activity Chief Petty Officers and Chief Petty Officers Selectees have indeed played a major role in making this a beautiful area.” “This is a way to honor our veterans who have given us and future generations the freedoms that we are enjoying today,” added Tubera. “Let your people shine and you will shine – NAVY CHIEF, NAVY PRIDE!” The Chief selects will be promoted to Chief Petty Officer during a Members of Covington Public Works picks up debris gathered by the Navy chiefs and selectees during Navy Day 2012.

Sheriff makes plea at commission meeting By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com A plea by Sheriff Pancho Chumley for more resources to deal with deputies resigning and increased crime in the Covington area highlighted Monday night's monthly meeting of the Tipton County Commission. Chumley said that seven deputies have resigned recently, and most left to make more money elsewhere. “That's a lot of time lost, training lost … that's a whole shift,” Chumley said. “We can't afford that too much more.”
He said that because of a recent crime spree in Covington, his department has been asked for assistance. As a result, his budget was hit with $4,000 in overtime last week. “The town is being shot up,” Chumley said. “There's no other way to put it.” He compared gang members in Covington to international terrorists associated with the Taliban. “We plan on getting rid of them,” he said. “But it's harder to do when you're down a shift.” Commissioner Dale Smith said the finance committee listened to Chumley's requests for more mon-
ey and was taking it under advisement. In other matters: • The commissioners passed the county's property tax rate for 201213 at $2.34 per $100 of assessed value, which is unchanged from 2011-12. The figure breaks down like this: $.81 to general finance, $.07 to public works, $1.11 to schools and $.35 to debt service. • Rebecca Osborne was named to replace Sloan Betts on the board of equalization. County Executive Jeff Huffman said he believes Osborne is the first woman to serve in that capacity.
School board considers purchase of building By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com The Tipton County School Board may be expanding to the north. At last Thursday's monthly meeting, Director of Schools Dr. Buddy Bibb was directed by the board to look into purchasing a vacant building next door that was previously occupied by Brighton Bank. Bibb said there is currently $1.3 million in the construction fund. Some of that is earmarked for other projects, but the
remainder could be used to purchase and renovate the building next door, which is on 2.63 acres. The building has been appraised at $625,500, Bibb said, and the asking price is $599,900. Bibb said he would try and negotiate a feasible price. “At the right price,” Bibb said, “it would serve the county well.” The school board currently uses some portable buildings and also utilizes a building up town that used to house
the old Covington City School Board. Bibb said the new building could be used to house the special education department. In other matters: • The board was presented the Tennessee School Board Association's Board of Distinction award. The honor is given to school boards that meet criteria in planning, policy, promotion and board development. “Let me say congratulations to the whole board,” said board chair-
man Marty Haywood. “Everybody should be very, very proud.” • Dircector of Operation Dr. Charlotte Fisher reported that at a FEMA grant has approved that will fund a safe room at Atoka Elementary School. She said a “lengthy” environmental process is ongoing that will have to be completed before construction can begin. She also reported that LeBonheur Children’s Hospital had donated defibrillators to be used by faculty members.

Continued from A1 and listened intently as Mo translated former Ag teacher Paul Parker's lesson about crop rotation. "They came to the farm because all of the chefs, they want to see corn farm and soybeans," Mo said. "We are in China promoting U.S. beef and pork and it helps them to know the farms in the U.S." Mo said the major differences between farming in China and in the U.S. is the expanse of the homes and farms here. "Everything is huge. Farms are huge. Houses are huge," he said. "Everything is by hand in China. Everything is by machine here." After a short hayride from the field to Turner's father Carl's home, the chefs ate golden watermelon with Turner family members. They picked various items – pecans, crab apples – from trees and asked about them before posing in photos with the family in front
of a herd of heifers. "It feels great to show the American agricultural technology to China," Turner said. Because it is a Project Green Fork certified organic farm, the Chinese were able to experience a top-notch facility at Claybrook Farms. "We are a natural farm, said Turner. "We use very little pesticides, no added hormones or antibiotics. We're producing quality beef and we supply to 15 restaurants in Memphis, including Sweet Grass, Andrew Michael Italian Kitchen and Café Eclectic." They spoke no English but unanimously gave the thumbs up when asked if they enjoyed their visit to Claybrook Farms. From here, the group will travel to Minneapolis and then on to Chicago where they will learn more about the wet- and dry-aging processes.

solved
Continued from A1 was still under investigation. Howell said a tip to the department’s hotline led them to Greenhaw. “This case is solved,” said McGarity. “And we want people feeling safe and confident that the Covington Police Department has their best interest at heart. We’re working to solve as many cases as we possibly can.” Covington Lt. Jack Howell said Greenhaw stole Hydrocodone and Oxycontin from the drugstore and approximately 200 Oxycontin pills were found in his vehicle. It is not clear if Greenhaw robbed Rite Aid with the same gun he used when he allegedly killed a Texas couple, the reason he was wanted by authorities. The U.S. Marshals led the search for Greenhaw. He is suspected of shooting 55-year-old Latricia Schick and 74-year-old Peter Schick in their Ben
Wheeler, Texas home last month. Sources say he was acquainted with the couple and attended high school with their daughter. Officials in Texas believed the couple had been shot nine days before their bodies were found inside their home. He was found to be in Ripley last week when he left his drivers license at a Murphy USA gas station. The clerk turned the license over to police and it was then discovered Greenhaw had active warrants. Greenhaw, 31, will be extradited to Texas in the coming weeks. He will face court appearances there before being tried in the armed robbery. Howell said Det. Brandon Matlock with the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division assisted with the robbery investigation.

GUEST OPINION
Despite country’s problems, life is good Life is good! It’s also as John Lennon once said “...what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” Our situation may be bad and our current condition may be unpleasant, but life is good. As a Christian I do look forward to the Heavenly reward I don’t deserve but which grace has provided, yet despite the many bad days I have had on this earth, I can with great confidence declare that life is good. I have had many dreams and made many plans for my life and the life of my family. Many, if not most of these dreams and plans never reached fruition. Life often got in the way, and it was not always pleasant. When I was 20 years old, a friend of mine and I went into business, starting J IM HARDIN a rural garbage collection business, arcade and sandwich shop. We made big plans to franchise our sandwich shop and I planned to retire at age 45. We lived in a small Texas oilfield town that went bust in 1982, going from virtually zero to nearly 20% unemployment almost overnight. Our businesses went under, we sold out and I joined the Navy to support my growing family. Life happened. In late 1990 I had landed a job with the CIA and was making plans to start after my Navy enlistment ended in January 1991. In early December of 1990, the Democrat-controlled Congress still trying to smear a very popular President Reagan after he left office placed a freeze on all hiring by the CIA, including standing job offers that had not come on board yet. I now had no job so I reenlisted and took orders in Millington, TN, moving my family to Tipton County in February 1991. Life happened. In August of 2001 I was going places in FedEx and poised to move up the ranks. My plans were to become a FedEx vice president. At the time there were lots of them. In Memphis, you couldn’t throw a dead cat without hitting a FedEx vice president. On September 11, 2001, radical Islamic terrorists did what they did and I found myself recalled to active duty. On my birthday in February 2007, I reported for duty in California to process for training that would result in duty in Iraq. By now I had left FedEx. Life happened. In 2010 I accepted the call to run for the TN House District seat held by Jimmy Naifeh. A lot of wonderful volunteers and me gave it all we got and came within a few hundred votes, about 2%, of beating the 36-year incumbent. We won Tipton County, but lost the race. Life happened. Last year I accepted an assignment with the Department of Veterans Affairs in Sheridan, WY as Director of Human Resources for the hospital and its statewide regional affiliate clinics. We bought a mountain home and began an extensive remodel. We made plans to invest in other properties and perhaps start a business in a couple of years. On January 5 of this year I went to surgery to have a suspicious growth taken out of my throat. Diagnosis – cancer. Life happened. I have never been good about going to doctors or dentists to have aches and pains looked into. Generally, I avoid these and just try tough it out. Now, I found myself working for a VA hospital and as an Iraqi veteran entitled to the earned benefit of 5 years of free medical care which ends next year. Had our business not gone under in 1982 I would have not joined the Navy. Had I went to work for the CIA in 1991 I would not have stayed in the Navy. Had I not remained in the Naval Reserves while working for FedEx, I would not have been recalled to active duty after 9-11, which resulted in earning the benefit of free medical care with the VA. Had I won the election in 2010, I would not have accepted the job with the VA Hospital in Wyoming. Had I not worked at a hospital where I could get in and out quickly I would have let my sore throat go longer. By the time they found the cancer, I was at Stage 4 and it had spread into the lymph nodes in my neck. Two weeks or so later and it would have spread into my body and likely been noncurable. I’ll share more on the battle with cancer later, but it looks like we may just have beaten it. “Be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead” (I Peter 1:6). When I look back at my life and all that has happened in this journey here on earth I can see the joy of life here while I anticipate the future eternal joy. I cannot help but thank God that life happened! THE LEADER

LETTER TO THE EDITOR What’s wrong with our judicial system? The teacher raping the young boys at Crestview (Middle) School, right across from the county jail, and we can’t even keep her from behind bars. All Tipton Countians know that if that would have been a male teacher or a male civilian, it would easily been 25 to life if he were do-
ing that to female students, so why is she getting a slap on the wrist? It seems as though she has ties with our court system. I was in court earlier this week and a young man got more time than she did and he only did it once with a 14 year old, he received three years. She (got) that much for several offenses and how in the world
when you do something like this to our children that you can get some of the charges dropped?! Let’s wake up and stop this gender-based judgment on convicted criminals, in other words equal crime means equal time. This teacher is one lucky woman and our system was on her side!

depend on current interest rates. You can’t control or predict interest rates, but you can help soften their impact on bond prices by building a “ladder” of bonds with varying maturities. Then, if market interest rates rise, you can sell your maturing short-term bonds and purchase new ones at the higher rates. And if market rates fall, you’ll still have your longer-term bonds working for you at higher rates. (Usually, but not always, longer-term bonds pay higher rates to compensate investors for incurring inflation risk over time.) Keep in mind, though, that the investments within your bond ladder should be consistent with your investment objectives, financial circumstances and risk tolerance. Whether you own your bonds until maturity or build a bond ladder, you can do something to protect yourself from price movements. And that type of control can prove valuable to you as you chart your course through the investment world.

Kirby Powell becomes the bride of Drew Kinningham
Miss Kirby Ann Powell and Mr. William Andrew Kinningham exchanged vows on Friday, May 11, 2012 at 6 p.m. in the Four Seasons Garden at Heartwood Hall in Piperton, Tenn. The ceremony was officiated by the Reverend Dr. Scott Sealy. The wedding music was composed and arranged by the groom’s father, Dr. Alan Kinningham and rendered by a string quarter and pianist. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Tim Pilkington and Mr. and Mrs. Allen Powell of Covington. The groom is the son of Dr. and Mrs. Alan Kinningham of Covington. The bride, given in marriage by her parents, wore an elegant ivory sleeveless gown with a sweetheart neckline. The dress by Christina Wu was made of tulle and lace, and accented with beads, pearls and a flower on the waistband with a semi cathedral train. She wore a fingertip length veil trimmed in lace. The bride completed her wedding day ensemble with purple shoes to match the bridesmaid’s dresses and vintage pearl jewelry. She carried a bouquet of ivory vendela roses, lily of the valley, garden roses, lisianthius, tulips, hydrangea, ranunculus, maidenhair fern and seeded eucalyptus wrapped in ivory ribbon with
a lace handkerchief borrowed from the bride’s grandmother. Serving as maid of honor was Sarah Kaitlyn Fee and the bridesmaid was Sydney Lane Pilkington, sisters of the bride. The groom’s brother, Thomas Bennett Kinningham, served as the best man with the groom’s father, Dr. Alan Kinningham, as groomsman. Ushers were Clayton Blaine Click, Hayden Glass Powell and Griffin Waits Powell. Attendants were Allison Grace Click and Anna Catherine Click.

Legal mistakes you might be making In speaking to churches get. I recommend at least and civic groups, I hear and $100,000 worth. 2. Buying things as “insee mistakes that regular folks are making that can vestments” that are not worth it. While there are hurt their families. 1. Carrying “Only Li- examples of people having some sucability” is a BIG cess with the MISTAKE. I following know that auto items, most insurance is folks I talk expensive, and to really reUM is not legret buying gally required, investments but always that do not make sure you usually aphave plenty of preciate in Uninsured Movalue. These torists (UM) often include Coverage. Even timeshares, on your old whole life cars, or the bike insurance, you hardly ever David Peel universal ride. UM covers life insuryou, your famPeel Law Firm ance and ily or passengers from injuries caused many popular collectables. 3. Co-signing. If you are by unknown, uninsured, or underinsured at-fault driv- asked to co-sign a loan, you ers. These types of drivers might be flattered. Another cause many more crashes way to look at it is this: No than others and are often one trusts them enough to drunk drivers. You get to loan them money, so inselect the amount to insure stead, your home, assets you and your family for, and good name will be and it is NOT expensive risked so they can get somecompared to what you may thing that they cannot earn
themselves. Consider the following verses: a. Proverbs 17:18: One who lacks sense gives a pledge and puts up security in the presence of his neighbor. b. Proverbs 22:26-27: Be not one of those who give pledges, who put up security for debts. If you have nothing with which to pay, why should your bed be taken from under you? c. Proverbs 6:1-35: My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, have given your pledge for a stranger, if you are snared in the words of your mouth, caught in the words of your mouth, then do this, my son, and save yourself, for you have come into the hand of your neighbor: go, hasten, and plead urgently with your neighbor. Give your eyes no sleep and your eyelids no slumber; save yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the hand of the fowler. 4. Fearful or hasty decisions. While it is not technically a legal mistake, making decisions from a place of fear or in a hurry is almost always a bad call. Fear is what makes people often
pay too much for a “new” car because they are afraid of a “used” one. Being in a hurry is what high-pressure sales guys rely on to make you sign a deal fast. The old saying, “Think long, think wrong,” is itself – Wrong! Be the person who takes advice and seeks wisdom before you make a decision. Be the person who gets a second or even a third opinion. Whether it is surgery, a new air conditioner or a car repair, get more advice. These mistakes can be very expensive. Seek counsel and move slowly. A wise man will hear and increase in learning, and a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel. ~Proverbs 1:5. Mr. Peel seeks justice for those injured in car accidents, work place incidents, medical malpractice, and nursing homes. He often addresses churches, clubs and groups without charge.

Hello Dear Readers, we are so Thankful for the little bit of rain that we received. I have always heard that the grass is always greener over the septic tank. Well, you can see in our yard where the septic tank and the lines flowing out... because the grass is completely dead over the square septic tank and the two lines out in the yard... they are dead too. So I don’t know what the builders did when they built this place 20 or so, years ago. But the grass is dead, clearly marking the septic tank and the lines that lead out of it. We have three apple tree, which ware loaded with apples. One limb broke off one of the trees because it was so loaded.
Some of the limbs are hanging low down, you can’t even walk under the trees. We will have plenty of apples, when they get ripe, probably about the last of August. So, if you want some apples let us know. First come first serve. 475-9884. This Thursday, our granddaughter will be pinned to be a registered nurse. We have been invited to go to Bellevue Baptist Church for this special occasion. She will officially graduate in December, as they only have graduation once a year. She has a 6 year old son and a new baby boy, who is two months old. Our daughter has been able to keep Aiden, for Hollie to get her 80 hours of service, which is required before graduation. We are so proud and thankful for Hollie Diane Glisson Harris. We are also proud

Hi everyone, the somewhat cooler temperatures have been very nice. However, we still need a long enduring rain. Hope your week has been a blessed one. Being Elvis week, it has been most enjoyable recalling memories of his life. We grew up in the same neighborhood. I also graduated from Humes High School but he was ten years older than me. I do remember watching him and John Bramlett playing football in the streets before his popularity came along. His grandparents lived right across the street from my father’s business. His life began so poorly and as he began to make history, I remember he gave away many things to the less fortunate. I actually have one his scarves he threw into the audience at one of his shows. I keep it in my lock box at the bank. Don’t know which child or grandchild will inherit this piece of fortune. So unfortunate the way his life turned. The date of his death, Aug. 16, is a sad day for many. However, I’ll not go to Graceland, I was there at his first anniversary and that was enough for me. I’ve got better memories. Last week I went alone to Centerville to visit my daughter, Terri Barber and family. Of course my granddaughter Whitney and I had our “shopping day,” as she starts to Columbia University next week. It was a wonderful four days, but my bed sure felt good Sunday night. Salem Presbyterian Church Worship is at 11 a.m. each Sunday, Charles Todd is the minister. Everyone is always welcome. There will be an informal hymn sing this Sun. the 19th at 6 p.m. in the sanctuary. Happy Birthdays this week go to Jeff Vick, Brice Fite and David McDaniel. Hope they are each the greatest! Sharon Presbyterian Church Worship is at 9 a.m. Rev. Charles Todd is the minister. Everyone always wel-
come. Please continue to remember Mr. Raymond Griffin as he is still not well. Thanks to all of our Dunlap people who are able to be with us. Covington Church Of Christ Worship is at 8:45 for the early risers and again at 11 for the rest of us. Bible study is in between at 10 a.m. and again on Wed. evenings at 7 p.m. Everyone is always welcome. Our minister is Rev. Mike Rodgers and assoc. minister is brother Jeff Phillips also our Youth director. We had one baptism this week, Taylor Kellow. We rejoice with she and her parents. We also welcome Joshua Caraway as he placed membership with our church family here at Covington. We extend our sympathy to the Albert Cates family in the death of his niece, Dana Renfro and to Rusty Cartwright in the death of his cousin, Russ Harris. Tommy Schroader is collecting new and use athletic shoes for SOLES for SOULS. You may drop them by our church. Thank You! In closing, the Olympics were quite entertaining. You just had to choose the ones you didn’t want to miss. Sitting still for two weeks is just not my cup of tea. Have a great week everyone. At least the temperatures now allow us a chance to get a little more yard work done. I’m still missing my dear friend, Louise Vandergrift’s phone calls and messages. Have a great week!

The Civil War and Tipton County: June 1862 Compiled by Russell B. Bailey, Tipton County Historian Battle of Memphis Apparently some Tipton Countians fought in the naval Battle of Memphis on June 6, 1862. The last of the so-called fleet actions of the War was witnessed by thousands of Memphians. The Union had 9 ships with 68 cannon to meet the attack of Commander James E. Montgomery’s “eight inferior Confederate makeshifts, mounting 28 guns.” One writer described the nearly two-hour battle as one of “ramming by both sides and closequarter fighting.” All but one vessel of the Confederate River Defense Fleet was captured or destroyed. Two of the Union craft were damaged. The Fed-
erals captured 170 prisoners and sent them on board the steamer John J. Roe to St. Louis where they arrived June 11. A newspaper reported the arrival of the “gunboat prisoners… taken on board the “rebel gunboats’ Bragg, Sterling Price, Beauregard and Jeff Thompson.” The prisoners were sent to the Gratiot Street prison and released on or before June 16. A newspaper reported 13 of the prisoners were from Tipton County. (These men had served in Henry Maley’s Co. C, 1st Tennessee Heavy Artillery at Fort Pillow.) Captain Maley resigned his commission June 2 and many of the men refused to go with the Regiment to Vicksburg. Records indicate the Tiptonians were captured on June 6. The

Greetings, hopefully everyone had a nice, quite week. As for me, mine was the usual week – housework and more housework. You know, the more that I dust off, the more dust gets on. The Jolly Corteria Club of Jamestown and Covington hosted their meeting this month on Monday, Aug. 13 at the lovely home of member Dollie Burton Boykins. Dollie provided the ladies with an elegant summer luncheon that they enjoyed. After a brief meeting, they enjoyed fun and games. President LaRue Albriton was very pleased to see a nice turnout on Monday. Congratulations are in order. Seems there’s another wedding on the calendar for our family. Roger Sherill, son of Gloria Sherrill, on Sept. 8, 2012. The wedding will take place in Brownsville. We are all very happy for Roger, he’s one of Jamestown’s favorite sons. The “back-to-school” event on Saturday at North Star Community Church was quite a success! School supplies, along with refreshments, were given out and enjoyed, especially by all of the children. Rev. Steven Miller and wife, first lady Dorothy Ingram Miller and the entire membership did very well. On Sunday afternoon, North Star’s first annual Usher’s Day was also successful. Rev. Pearl Andrews from Bright Hill M.B. Church was pulpit official and she, as always, did a remarkable job. Rev. Jimmy White from the Douglas Community in Memphis, did an outstanding job of M.C., and Rev. Pearl Lurry and Vision Temple, also of Memphis, were special guests. Special honorees were the late Dorothy Ivra and Evelyn McGarathy. Mrs. Ivra had organized the usher

We got a half-inch of rain yesterday evening. I think the power was out everywhere! Wind damage in the Kroger/ Tennessee Gin area!

Kelsey Batts, a senior at Brighton High School, ran for a national office for the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA). Kelsey was one of the 27 candidates that participated in the election process at the 2012 National Leadership Conference, held July 8-12 in Orlando, Florida. Running to become a national officer is the highest leadership opportunity an FCCLA member can take. Kelsey’s election took place during a five-day leadership event centered on the theme, “#realitycheck.” During the week, more than 6,800 FCCLA members, advisers, alumni, and guests attended workshops and sessions on relevant youth issues such as career preparation, financial literacy, environmental education, traffic
safety, community service, social media, and the changing roles of men and women in the home and workplace. Each candidate participated in a multi-step election process that took place over the span of three days. The process evaluated their public speaking, networking, and teamwork skills, as well as their FCCLA knowledge. In the first step of the process, the candidates participated in an exam that tested their overall knowledge of the organization. Following the exam, they presented a FCCLA-related speech that addressed the question of “What kind of reality do you believe FCCLA is facing and how the organization can adapt for the future?” Along with the speech presentation, the candidates par-
ticipated in an interview that addressed behavioral-based situations. Kelsey is the daughter of Dale and Barbara of Brighton. Kate Scott is Kelsey’s FCCLA chapter adviser.

Retired teacher? The TCRTA wants you! Filed for registration with the US Patent and Trademark Office, July 2009. First use in commerce, November 2010. Rendered February 2011 by John Conti <jconti@mediamonitors.com>
By Sherri Onorati sonorati@covingtonleader.com There is a saying that says, “Once a teacher, always a teacher.” That well-known quote describes the feelings and attitudes of those who have dedicated their lives to the education of young people and many of them live right here in Tipton County. The Tipton County Retired Teachers Association (TCRTA) is looking for new members and organizers invite retired teachers, living in Tipton County, to join their association to continue their life’s mission of reaching young people, but this time, outside of the classroom. The association meets five times a year and provides an opportunity to fellowship with other retired educators, provide community service and to lend support for legislation that improves benefits for all retired educators. The goals of the group include, promotion of the economic, social and professional status of retire teachers; the promotion and exchange of information; the promotion and assistance to help retired teachers continue to identify with the profession of teaching and to present the image of aging as one of dignity and independence. “We are still able to give to the community even though we are retired,” said president Martha Fayne. “Being a member provides many benefits – you’ll learn what’s going on in the community, you’re able to assist with others, to help young people and it keeps us in touch with what is going on.” Fayne invites non-members to attend the group’s next meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 21 at 10 a.m. at Dyersburg State Community College Jimmy Naifeh Center. The
U
D RE
meeting will take place at the Academic building, rooms 154 and 166. Lunch will be provided by First State Bank of Atoka and door prizes will be given. “This is an opportunity for retired educators to join us for a most informative and enjoyable program,” said Fayne. “They will not be disappointed.” The projected activities for the association this year include participating in various community volunteer projects, annual food drive, hosting an eyeglass drive, Toys for Kiddies and the presentation of the first Tipton County Retired Teacher’s Association scholarship. Membership dues are $50 a year for state and national and $5 a year for county. “We are real excited about our program this year and I don’t want anyone not to join because of the dues,” said Fayne. “They can be deducted right from our retirement pay for less than $5 a month!” The speaker for the program will be Morris Fair Sr., a native of Madison County and a retires teacher who served in the classroom, on the field and as an assistant principal for 39 years. He served as president of the state Retired Teachers Association from 2009-2012. For more information about this event or how to become a member, contact Martha Fayne at (901) 229-7938 or email faynem@bellsouth.net.

Horn Lake Head coach: Brad Boyette Last year: 6-5, missed playoffs Outlook: The Eagles begin year one under Boyette, who takes over for legendary coach John Cooley, who won a state title at Ridgeway. Horn Lake lost quite a few starters, but they are always strong and play in a very challenging district in Mississippi. Bolton Head coach: Tommy Miller Last year: 1-9, missed playoffs Outlook: Senior linebackers Blake McGinnis and Garrett Copeland, both alldistrict last year, lead the Wildcats. Miller is in his second season. The team's only win last year came against 3-7 Frayser. Riverdale Head coach: Ryan Aydelott Last year: 13-1, lost to Maryville in 6A quarterfinals Outlook: Senior quarterback Dillon Woodruff passed for 1,524 yards and ran for 921 more last year, earning offensive MVP honors in District 7-AAA. Riverdale is ranked No. 2 in the preseason Class 6A poll.

Brighton, Covington, Munford get started tomorrow By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Brighton, Covington and Munford each open the 2012 season tomorrow night against the same teams they played in the opener last year. Some things have changed in 12 months, while some things have not. The Cardinals, coming off the first 10-win season in the program's history, host Murfreesboro Riverdale. Riverdale lost some key guys to graduation, but they are still Riverdale, and bring back senior quarterback Dillon Woodruff, one of the best signal callers in the state. The Warriors enter the season as the No. 2-ranked team in the state 6A poll. Brighton lost to the Warriors in Murfreesboro last year 49-6. “What a great test,” said Brighton coach Will Wolfe. “It's like we're the new kid at school and let's go get the biggest dude. It helped us last year. I found out a lot about our football team last year in that game. I feel like it'll be no different this year.” SEE OPENERS, PAGE B2

The weather was refreshingly cooler for the jamboree Friday night in Covington, with temps in the low 80's at the 6 p.m. kickoff. But Munford and Covington, both of which won convincingly, were hot from the beginning. Munford sophomore Markeeis James returned the opening kickoff 80 yards for a touchdown as the Cougars rolled past Haywood 34-0. “I was thinking since I've been at Munford we really haven't had a big play in special teams like that,” said Munford head coach Matt Saunders. “So yeah, to start off the season like that was great.” Each game consisted of two 20-minute periods with a running clock, so things moved quickly. But Munford scored on its first three possessions and put up an extraordinary amount of points for a jamboree. Late in the first half the Munford defense stopped Haywood at the

Cougar one-yard line, and the offense took care of the rest. Senior D'Marious Exum scored on touchdown runs of 35 and 10 yards in the first period to push the lead to 21-0. Midway through the second period senior quarterback Hunter Harden scored on a 25yard run. On the final play of the game, Harden hit Derek Pierce on a 27-yard touchdown pass in the corner of the endzone. “We have something we can build upon,” Saunders said. “We had a lot of good game situations tonight … We're going to be in those situations a lot so why not practice that in front of a crowd and under the lights.” In the final contest of the night, Covington defeated First Assembly Christian School 21-12. New quarterback T.A.
Watson hit Carlos Williams, who was in his new position at wide receiver, on a 42-yard pass play on Covington's first play from scrimmage. Senior Johnston White scored two plays later on a 22-yard run to put Covington ahead 7-0. White added a 35-yard TD run later in the game and Devonte Young scored on a one-yard run early in the second period. The Charger defense gave up a long scoring drive in the first period and an 89-yard touchdown run midway through the second period.

What's the truth about foxes and fleas? Several years ago, I was looking through a publication focused on young children and introducing them to the outdoors and our local wildlife. It had a lot of safety articles plus a lot of articles that I call the “watch out” articles that were trying to teach the youngsters to be alert in the woods at all times. The article, as I remember, singles out several animals for their “what they called animal intelligence.” But the one that I remember most was the article about the red fox. The fox has always been characterized as an intelligent animal. In fact, I have heard people refer to other people, “as smart as a fox”. He is a wise old fox. Crafty as a fox; then you would see pictures of foxes wearing studious looking eye glasses or other pictures of foxes dressed up in a graduation cap and gown that inferred they had just graduated from somewhere or some thing. There are many other examples of the intelligence of the fox and I sure that everyone out there has seen and read more than just one example of the wisdom of the fox. The fox that I remember most of all was not the fox in this box which I will
tell you about in a few minutes but ‘the red fox pelt’ that I gave my grand daughter for her fourth birthday. I was like all grand daddies, I was looking for a special gift to give to a special little girl. Why I thought of ‘the red fox pelt’ is subject to many interpretations or sources but I did . I went down to the local furrier and picked out’ the most beautiful red fox pelt’ that I could find and paid the furrier something Wildlife Chatter like $40 for the pelt. I arrived at my By Arnold Bull son’s house the night before the celebrated fourth birthday party which was to be the next day. I gave my grand daughter her the present that night. She loved it! I showed her how to drape it around her neck which was her first choice of all the other ideas about fox drapering. The next day, my grand daughter’s mom said that she was scared that all the young four year ladies that were coming to the birthday party would get scared of ‘the red fox pelt’ and start crying and want to go home and it would
Continued from B1 a lot of energy and executed well on offense,” Wheeler said. “Defensively I thought we did some things well, but we've got some guys out there who haven't played a lot. That's what jamborees are for, to get some experience and see some things we need to work on.” Tipton-Rosmemark Academy lost to Lausanne 14-12 in the opening contest of the night. Junior Sean O'Brien scored on a 75yard interception return in the opening moments. Late in the first period, Austin Chambers hit Logan Stewart on a nine-yard touchdown pass. The two-point conversion failed, and that ended up being the difference. “I was pretty happy with how we moved the ball in the air,” said TRA coach Dodd Gengenbach. TRA is off this Friday before opening the season Aug. 24 against Halls. “Overall I was pretty pleased with the effort,” Gengenbach said. “We've got two weeks to get ready for Halls and we're going to try and straighten some of that stuff out.”

flea powder. This is another story about the intelligence of foxes. So, how does the red fox get rid of fleas? This is the subject of the red fox story in the children’s book. According to the book, the fox takes a stick in his mouth and backs very slowly into a creek, lake or pond what ever is handy and uses the on coming water to push the fleas all the way up his body until all the fleas are located on the stick in the fox’s mouth. Then the fox lets go of the stick and submerges himself and leaves the fleas to fend for themselves on the stick that is floating in the water. Now, here comes the questions, ..Is this true? ...It was in a children’s book, yes?...They would not put something in a children’s book that was not true, would they? I do not know the answer. I have seen a lot of red foxes in my life time but I have never seen one with a stick in his mouth. What do you think?

After last year's loss to the Warriors, Brighton won 10 straight games. “We're really excited to play a high-caliber, storied program like Riverdale. What a great opportunity for them to come and play on our field.” The Cardinals were also hit hard by graduation, but return starting quarterback Brady Stewart and top running back Antonio Dickerson, both seniors. Quite a bit has changed since Covington opened up the 2011 season at home against Bolton, the team they will play on the road tomorrow night. The Chargers were coming off a 5-6 season a year ago, looking for an identity. They enter this season nine months removed from a state semifinal appearance. Bolton was 1-9 last year and is still looking to find its way back to respectability. “I think they'll be much improved in the second year with their coaching staff,” said Covington head coach Marty Wheeler. “I think last year was a transitional season for them.” Covington returns quite a few starters, including senior Johnston White, a preseason all-state selection who rushed for over 2,000 yards last season. Munford opens the 2012 campaign at Horn Lake, a team that beat them 44-23 last year in Munford.
ruin my grand daughter’s birthday party. I explained to my daughter in law that if ‘the red fox pelt’ bothered her that much that I would go down stairs and get ‘the red fox pelt’ and hide it from every body. My daughter in law agreed. I turned to go down stairs to get ‘the rd fox pelt’ and looked outside on the patio and saw my grand daughter with ‘the red fox pelt’ wrapped around her neck and she had all her friends lining up to be next to wear the ‘red fox pelt’. My daughter in law , needless to say, breathed a nice sigh of relief because the young ladies were having such a wonderful time with ‘the red fox pelt’ that was so scary at first. Now, back to the children’s book and their story of their ‘red fox pelt’ Their red fox pelt was alive and still wearing its red fox pelt and roaming the outdoors in search of food and shelter. This fox would go to the utmost extremes in running through briars and ditches and gullies and creeks to catch food. This exposed this fox and all the others to the common nuisance of fleas. Now, we can go to the store and get flea powder to rid the dog of all his fleas but the red foxes do not have access to
The Eagles play in what is considered the toughest district in Mississippi. It includes powerhouses like South Panola, Olive Branch, Tupelo and Southaven. “I don't know a whole lot about them,” said Munford head coach Matt Saunders, who led the Cougars to a playoff berth last year for the first time since 2007. “I know they graduated some key players … One thing I do know is that play in a region that is like the SEC of high school football. Last year what stood out is how physical they are.”
The Cougars return their top rusher from last year in senior D'Marious Exum and several other key players. Saunders believes the team's 34-0 win over Haywood in last week's jamboree will help his team Friday night. “It's good to have that momentum,” Saunders said. “For a team like us, that's what we need.”

Honor and glory should be goals of worship “worship.” They died an immediate and fiery death.

Nor is this flection of the value, or the only place in the worth, we place on the Bible where God used object we worship.

form or worship is permissible. Others prefer a free spirited, more emotional style of worship. A few years ago had an Egyptian pastor in our services. The style of worship and music in Egypt is much different than what we Americans are used to enjoying. Is it right to use the music that has been associated with the world to worship God? In other words, can rock music with Christian words really bring honor to the King of Kings? For me, and I believe that I can defend this from the Bible, the answer is no. It appears to be a compromise with the carnal nature of man. Music is not amoral, to argue so is to deny the obvious. Since music has moral implications, the Bible must be the standard by which music is judged. Satisfying the flesh is not the purpose of worship. Bringing honor and glory to the Son of God should be our goal. How is it that we have missed so important an aspect of worship? The deceptiveness of the flesh and the enemy of man’s souls have conspired to strip God of His glory and rightful worship. We must stand guard and be watchful lest the honor of the Lord suffer. It is our duty and our delight to do so.
