Mike Parsons sentenced to seven years By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com COVINGTON – A former candidate for county executive was sentenced to seven years in prison Friday after being convicted of assault, burglary and theft charges. Last month, Mike Parsons was convicted of two counts of aggravated assault, bur-
glary of a vehicle and theft after holding neighbors hostage and stealing from them. The period of confinement for – which is a combination of four sentences – is something Judge Joe Walker deemed necessary to avoid depreciating the seriousness of the offense. "This defendant possesses a criminal mentality evinc-
ing a clear disregard for laws and morals of society," Walker said in his sentencing order. In September 2007, Parsons, who challenged Jeff Huffman for the seat of county executive in 2006, held neighbors Barry Laxton and Nick King at gunpoint after Laxton shot and killed Parsons' wolf hybrid, Brandy. Brandy, the jury decided,

had charged at Laxton and thus Laxton was justified in shooting her. While Parsons maintains he simply initiated a citizen's arrest, the jury found him guilty of aggravated assault. Parsons was also charged with kidnapping, but the jury could not reach a unanimous decision on this charge. Additionally, during the
“citizen's arrest,” Parsons admitted to "confiscating" firearms from one of the victims' vehicles. He was charged with burglary of a vehicle and misdemeanor theft. Parsons' defense was he was cooperating with law enforcement and the investigation, however a jury decided his SEE PARSONS, PAGE A3

By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com Learning to overcome barriers set in place by others is most often consider a challenge but learning to overcome personal or self-set barriers is likely to leave one in despair with a feeling of helplessness. Former Atoka resident Herman Hall wants to change that and offers readers of his new book, Breaking Free from the Trenches of the Mind: Giving Birth to Life Without Limits, the keys to success. Hall calls his book a semi-spiritual book which will help readers develop a mind set of walking and speaking with authority and shows how forming an honest relationship with one’s self and a more intimate union with God can bring about the winds of success. “They are going to have more faith in themselves and in God after reading my book,” said Hall. “They’ll develop more self-confidence and will realize the means to be successful is already a part of our lives. We just need help identifying and nurturing the resources within ourselves.” Hall, a Tipton County native, currently lives in Maryland where he is a computer engineer, investment coach and author. He attend-

The book is filled with self-empowering proverbs to aid the reader to find the strength to look within themselves for the power and success which lies in all. Hall helps the reader to understand how a relationship with God and aligning one’s thoughts with Him will not only bring about God’s favor but also will allow one to continuously tap into His grace. “I’ve learned from the places I’ve visited and from the people SEE HALL, PAGE A2

Approximately 40 patrol cars participated in the Seas of Blue last week.
Remembering fallen officers with a Sea of Blue By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com On Wednesday, Jan. 6, law enforcement officers from all over West Tennessee gathered to remember one of their own with a sea of blue. Approximately 40 patrol vehicles from the Tipton County Sheriff's Office, local law enforcement agencies and the Tennessee Highway Patrol processed from the Justice Complex to Cotton Lake-Antioch Road where Trooper Calvin Jenks died three years ago.
Jenks was fatally shot during a traffic stop on Jan. 6, 2007. Two teens from Texas – Alejandro Gouna and Orlando Garcia – were convicted in the murder in 2008. The processional marks the route believed to have been traveled by Jenks just before his death. Patrol vehicles traveled the route with emergency lights on, memorializing Jenks and other fallen officers. It is a tradition that is expected to continue every January for the foreseeable future, said one officer.

Morris joins UT Extension office By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com The Tipton County UT Extension office provides local residents with expert, research-based information on how to improve their livelihood where they live by acting as an educational gateway for the University of Tennessee. Michael Morris of Fayette County joined the Tipton County UT Extension Office staff last week as a new agricultural extension agent specializing in row crops and livestock. Morris, who lives in Summerville, is no stranger to agriculture, livestock and farming – his family once owned a cattle farm. “Although I’m not farming currently I come from a livestock background,” said Morris. “We used to run about 250 head of commercial cattle at one time.” Morris, a graduate of UT Martin and UT Knoxville, has worked in agriculture in some capacity his whole life. “I’ve seen quite a bit, explained Morris. “After college, I worked for a farm management company and I’ve managed about 30,000 acres in Missouri and Ar-
kansas. I’ve also worked with rice, cotton, corn and commercial catfish.” Morris’ joining comes at a critical time said Extension Office County Director Booker T. Leigh. “We’ve been missing someone in the row crop and livestock speciality for about a year and a half,” said Leigh. “Michael is going to be a big asset to the office and we’re real excited he’s here. We really need him in this field.” Morris’ speciality is in big cattle management and breeding. He hopes to share his knowledge of livestock and row cropping with whom ever needs it. “I am hoping to fill whatever void needs to be filled,” he said. “I’m not going to have all the answers but I’m hoping that if I don’t I can get them in touch with the proper folks who do.” Morris, Leigh explained, will be able to help farmers with row crop demonstrations and supply information dealing with planting, plant disease, crop rotation and various other information dealing with crops and raising livestock. “I’m not going to just give them a phone number and send them on their way,” assured Morris. “I’m going
Michael Morris
to do my best to give them the information they need to solve their issues or if I can’t, connect them to the speciality person who can. I am just glad to be here in Tipton County.” The Tipton County Extension Office offers programs in agriculture, consumer horticulture, community resource development, family and consumer education and 4-H youth programs. Also offered each year is the Tipton County master gardener program. The office is located at 111 W. Washington Avenue in Covington. Business hours are Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information visit the Extension Office website at http://tipton.tennessee.edu/ or call (901) 476-0231.

Continued from Page A1 I’ve mentored,� he said. “Everyone is struggling to find meaning and success in their lives. Perhaps they’ve gotten themselves in a situation they can’t get out of or they feel that God is not hearing their prayers and feel abandoned. We have the power to change all that. That’s what this book is about – bringing transformation to our lives. Bringing down the strongholds that bind us, breaking free of the yokes that bind and giving birth to new life, giving life to new life.� Hall said the idea for the book came late at
night when he woke up thinking about sowing seeds. Breaking Free from the Trenches of the Mind addresses the subject of “sowing seed� – the concept of working hard to achieve something positive. “I know it was God speaking through me, telling me to sow seeds,� said Hall. “I wake up with the thought, let my intention every day be to sow seeds in someone’s life. Let me show them how to nurture and seed their personal desires and dreams and help them open the door to their unlimited potential.� Hall’s vision is to encourage and empower others to fulfill their life
purpose. He mentors young people, speaks at churches and other community events in his local area and when he returns to Tipton County each year for his family reunion, he continues his mission here. “It feels good when I come home,� said Hall. “I like to share with people that there is still opportunity to fulfill their life’s purpose – they just need to pursue it. We all have a purpose and it’s my faith in God which allows me to help others discover that.� Although his book has just been released, Hall said he is already inspired to begin another book. “This is not a large
book,� he explained. “It developed when I started taking notes when I traveled or met people but the feedback I received from proofreaders has already created enough inspiration to write the next volume.� Hall encourages people to read his book and use it to make a positive change in their lives. “Your faith will be strengthened and your spiritual awareness will increase,� he said. “The trenches of the mind is a
Frazier Alumni Association once again topic of discussion at board meeting By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader. com The first meeting of the new year for the Covington Board of Mayor and Aldermen showed that although the year had begun anew, not all of the meeting topics did. A sore spot with Alderman Shelvie Rose continues to be the Frazier Alumni Association. At Tuesday’s bi-monthly meeting he again brought up the subject. Several members of the Frazier Alumni Association were in attendance during the Nov. 10, 2009, board meeting when Rose asked for the group’s 2008-2009 financial statement. It was during that meeting the board asked Rose and members of the group to come together to discuss their oppositions to one another. Rose asked the board if they wanted a report of the meeting’s outcome. “They tried to make me
join but I told them I was there, well, not under duress, but because five of you voted for it and I didn’t,� said Rose. Rose went on to complain that he felt he was treated rudely and that most of the people were not citizens of Covington nor Tipton County. They were not, he said, going to release their financial statements to him. “Being a non-profit, I didn’t see it was out of the way because I’m trying to do some things,� said Rose, adding that he would like to use the building in the case of natural disasters or at times of crisis, such as extreme temperatures. “We do live in the heart of poverty in District 1 and one of the things I would like to use the building for is for a heat program, like they had in Memphis,� he said. Rose went on to give several statistics comparing black men and white men and their education levels and rates of incarceration.
“As you know we have a lot of low income people over there, most of the people are black and some of the material I’ve been reading show the incarceration of black men is more than three times the rate of white men.� After Rose concluded
his presentation, Alderman John Edwards asked Rose what more could the Frazier Alumni Association do for the city. “I may be wrong but I look at the Frazier Alumni Center at the same level I would at the
place of unpleasant circumstances or challenges. It’s a place where we find ourselves seemingly without the control to leave. Read the book and your love will grow stronger for God, yourself

and others. You will be blessed and thereby become a blessing to others. And you will be ready to emerge from that place, giving birth to a new life‌ a life without limits.� Breaking Free from the Trenches of the Mind: Giving Birth to a Life Without Limits is published by Dominionhouse Publishing & Design can be purchased online at www. hermanhall.com.

Covington TN - “We send hundreds of vehicles to wholesale auctions every year,� began owner of Dover Motor Company. “And vehicles at these auctions are typically sold well below market value. Only licensed auto 4-Door, Pw/PL, Tilt, V6 brokers are allowed to attend these wholesale auctions, where vehicles are sold for literally pennies on the dollar. Additionally, auction attendees are charged a hefty sum to participate, making it impossible for the public to attend.� “What we are doing here at Dover Motor Company goes against the grain of what everyone else is doing in the auto industry. Instead of selling excess vehicles at wholesale auctions, we’re selling them to the public If we have to sell a vehicle at a loss.

“Think about it - as long as we get the same amount for the cars as we would at the auction - why would I care who buys it? This way, we at least get to develop a relationship with a local customer.� B. Dover why not sell it to a West Tennessee resident who’ll benefit from the vehicle� stated Dover regarding the dealerships “5-Day sale to the public� sales event. “Since these vehicles must be disposed of immediately, we can only hold this event Tuesday - Saturday until 6pm. We must ask that all sales be concluded by Saturday at 6pm. That way we have enough time to prepare the paperwork and get the remaining vehicles on trucks to the auctions. I’ve been in the auto business for a long time now and this is the first time I’ve done something like this. “Even if you are not currently in the market to purchase a car right now, I would consider coming by this weekend. This may be the opportunity of a lifetime� ended Dover.

PARSONS Continued from Page A1 actions were criminal. "Despite what the defendant alleges," said Walker," there are not substantial grounds tending to excuse or justify the defendants criminal conduct." On Jan. 8, appearing in court in a bright orange jumpsuit with his trademark braid hanging down his back, Mike Parsons studied notes before appearing before Walker. Parsons and attorney Barney J. Witherington presented two motions at the start of the hearing as Parsons objected to two items in the presentencing report. Parsons asked not to be sentenced to jail time, citing being denied the right to counsel. "We've been through this a number of times," said assistant district attorney Walt Freeland, who pointed out several attorneys had been appointed to represent

Churches and people use it for family or class reunions and I’m curious as a small convention center, what more should be required of them?” Alderman Tommy Black spoke up and told Rose he didn’t understand what the issue was. “I really hate to weigh into this and I’ve never seen the mission statement, but I really don’t see what the issue is with the Frazier Alumni,” said Black. “They told us they weren’t going to give us their financial statement voluntarily. If their members and elected officials seem pleased with what they’re doing according to their rules and bylaws, I really don’t see where the city has a dog in this fight. It sounds like they are doing what they were formed to do. I think we need to kind of back up and get off Frazier and let Frazier Alumni handle their own business and if they need help, maybe they’ll hollar at us.” Rose mumbled a response but then stated he wasn’t going to get into it right now. “It’s alright for the city to back up,“ he said. “I just hope that the city won’t be embarrassed when they move forward... There’s some things going on... no, no, I’m not going to go into all of that.” In other business, a resolution was passed unanimously by the board to allow the city to provide a $30 in property tax relief to each senior citizen, veteran or disabled resident who qualifies for the State of Tennessee Property Relief Program. The Board of Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Covington meet the second and fourth Tuesday of the month at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall. The public is invited and encouraged to attend.

Parsons. "If he would have listened to them, he might not be in the orange jumpsuit he's in today." Parsons also asked Walker to recuse himself as judge. Both requests were denied. Taking the stand to speak in his defense, Parsons explained he had a spiritual connection with the wolves through his heritage as a Cherokee descendant and intended to educate his neighbors about his wolves if he was released. During the dramatic one-hour hearing, Parsons accused correctional officers of gassing him inside his cell. Further, he said supporters of Huffman convicted him of the crimes because he's not a part of the "good ol' boy network" because he's not originally from Tipton County. Parsons never accepted responsibility for his actions, a shortcoming which lead to his continued confinement.

Mike Parsons takes the stand during his court hearing Friday. He was later sentenced to seven years in prison.
"The court finds from the evidence that the defendant is a dangerous offender whose behavior indicates little or no regard for human life, and who had no hesitation about committing a crime in which the risk to human life is high," said Walker. "He fails to appreciate the wrongfulness of his actions, maintaining that he could do as he pleases and that everyone else was in the wrong." Walker sentenced Parsons to three years for each felony aggravated
assault offense, one year for felony burglary of a vehicle and a one-year sentence for misdemeanor theft. Citing Parsons to be a threat to the community, Walker said the sentences for the felony offenses would run consecutively and the misdemeanor concurrent with the felony sentences. Parsons was given credit for more than 60 days of time already served and will be eligible for release in two years.

More than just games
At a point in the 1992-93 school year, newly appointed CHS principal Henry Glass was looking for a way to publicize the activities, community service and academic achievements of the students at Covington High School. Together we concocted the idea that became this column with the name coming from a line in a Charger cheerleader cheer. Thanks to the generosity of this newspaper and its late publisher George Whitley, “The Charger Beat” came to be. We were the first education related column in the paper. Eighteen years later we’re still here and thankfully almost all the other schools in the county have their own columns so the community can learn about what students are up to off the playing fields and courts. It’s been a win-win for all involved. Folks in the community comment frequently to me about how they look forward to “The Beat” to find out what’s going on at CHS. The school’s accrediting agency even looks for it as a part of the school’s community outreach. I am humbled to play a part in supporting this fine educational institution. That said, I’m going to break with usual protocol and talk about sports. At about the same time in 199293, Henry played to my vanity and stuck a microphone in my hand asking me to take on the public address duties at Lady Charger and Charger basketball games. A couple of years later he added football and about five years ago baseball came into the mix. As well there have been some softball games, weight meets, pep rallies and a few other events that didn’t have names. All told, sometime during this baseball season, I’ll reach the 1,000 mark in sporting events announced for CHS. I’ve attended that many on the road over that time span as well. It doesn’t make me some kind of saint, just a fan and a fan who is disgruntled with his fellow fans. It’s to the students and fans of CHS that I am speaking directly. As I sat at the scorer’s table in the gym Tuesday night for our district games against Martin Westview, it became apparent that the Westview fans, who were from almost 100 miles away, braved frigid weather to outnumber our fans. Westview has a top-notch girl’s program and a so-so boy’s program. Frankly speaking, our basketball program is just the reverse of that at this point in the season right now so I don’t care to hear the winning and losing rationalization. We can count on big crowds for the in-county rivalry games and games against Ripley, Haywood and Fayette-Ware. Anything else is a crapshoot. Truth be told, it’s not just basketball from my observation. It’s most sports and that is sad. These coaches work their rears off not only to develop particular sport skills but also to develop life skills in young men and women. These young men and women work their rears off to get playing time to display what they have learned and get some recognition for their efforts. Where is their audience? This is not college or pro sports. We don’t recruit or draft. We develop local talent. A great number come back to visit after further education. I can recall no professional athletes. They are farmers, doctors, factory workers, lawyers, bankers, homemakers and a myriad of other professions and vocations. They also carry with them the intangible skills learned on the playing fields at CHS: teamwork; dedication to purpose; the lasting value of hard work and a knowledge that they can exceed self to accomplish great things. Athletics helps to instill that in a way that academics alone cannot. You students make the least sense to me. Transportation is no problem. You spend more money on the snack cart daily than a ticket costs. Why aren’t you at the games supporting your classmates and friends? I go to other schools and see student sections crammed to capacity and bursting with enthusiasm. Am I so old fashioned as to believe that you have no school pride at all or that no such thing exists any more? As for those CHS alumni in the community and those adults who could but don’t support CHS athletics, I appeal to you to come to sporting events and support these young athletes and their programs. Ticket sales and booster clubs primarily fund athletic programs. The Board of Education is doing all that it can within its budget to fund facilities maintenance, utilities and coaches supplements. Athletics and academics fit hand and glove. But the athletics have to have the financial boost from fans and supporters. To those faithful CHS fans and boosters past and present who are always there, the “fighting 300” as Henry calls them (there are way more than 300), you are appreciated more than you know. This shout-out is not directed to you except to ask you to recruit the uninitiated. To the lapsed Charger fan or those yet to be, I invite you to join the party. In the past two decades, this athletic program has produced some state champions and has had several shots at others. It has been and will continue to be a thrilling ride. Come buy a ticket. They are not expensive. The general consensus is that kids should be doing positive things. The students involved in Charger sports are. They need and deserve an audience applauding them and encouraging them whether they are winning or losing. The encouragement that comes from people in the stands is infectious. I have some experience with this. Trust me. Steve Holt The Voice for the Chargers THE LEADER USPS 136-120 “Tipton County’s NEWSPAPER Since 1886”

Janes pulls out of Republican primary, runs as Tea Party candidate BRIGHTON, TN – This past Saturday, Donn Janes, a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in Tennessee’s 8th District spoke in Paris to an estimated 300 Tea Party activists from the West Tennessee area. There he announced, “As of today, I am no longer going to run for the U.S. House of Representatives as a Republican. …we need to change the way we elect our representatives. We continue to rely on the two-party system to provide us with different choices; but thanks to this corrupt system, there is little difference between the two of them. Both parties voted to increase the size of our government; both parties voted to trade your freedoms for security; and both parties are responsible for our monstrous debt, our failing economy and the exporting of our jobs overseas.
Reproduction of all matter contained herein is prohibited without the express consent of Tipton County Newspapers, LLC.
I will be running as an independent Tea Party Candidate, a candidate who doesn’t answer to or work for party leadership, but a candidate who will work for the people of West Tennessee.” When asked about what led to this decision, Janes stated that the National Republican Party continues to aggressively support candidates who lack depth on issues and conservative values, but instead focus on candidates who are able to self fund or raise large sums of money. During the extended question and answer portion following his speech, Janes was asked if he thought his running as an independent would split the vote. “I intend to. I will be asking for votes from both Democrats and Republicans, many who are fed up with their party’s refusal to adhere

He was also be interviewed on the Lou Dobbs' national radio broadcast discussing his campaign, where he discussed his departure from the Republican party and the impact it will have on the Congressional race taking place in the 8th district. Janes is a candidate for the United States House of Representatives for Tennessee’s 8th Congressional District. A Navy veteran and businessman, Janes is an outspoken critic of how both Republicans and Democrats have continued to ignore any calls for fiscal responsibility, causing the United States to plunge deeper into debt.
to their respective party platforms. Over the course of my traveling within the 8th District, I believe there are enough conservative Democrats and right-minded Republicans who will enable me to win.” Janes was asked about the Proposed “Contract From America”. He replied, “We’ve had a ‘Contract From America’ for over 200 years. It’s called the Constitution of the United States. That’s the only contract we need.” Janes first attended a TEA Party event in Memphis, TN, on April 15, 2009. He later challenged the views of ACORN founder, Wade Rafke, at a University of Memphis Lecture. Janes participated in a “Pink Slip” TEA Party event in Nashville on November 7, 2009, to protest the currently proposed health care legislation. Last month he attended the FCC meeting in

Behind, part deux. TEIP is comprised of two plans: the Tennessee First to the Top Act of 2010 and the Complete College Tennessee Act of 2010. First to the Top will bring changes in legislation to make Tennessee more competitive for Race to the Top funding. Goals under this plan include turning around under-performing schools and the creation of an Achievement School District which will intervene with schools who consistently fail in meeting federal benchmarks. Schools and students who consistently fail to meet these benchmarks need help, there's no argument there, but will our standards be lowered? Though few systems outside of Memphis City Schools admit to it, there are too many children being promoted when they should not be. This is a problem I'd like to see remedied - either you learn or you stay there until you do. Bredesen, a physics major, would also like to put an emphasis on the STEM disciplines – science, tech-

I don't understand
Don’t it feel good to be called a country redneck? Simple as he has been sweatin’ in the hot sun and working hard. What do you call a nonredneck? Please decipher that for us proud Southern Rednecks. As I reminisce there are several things I just don’t understand. So help me figger.” I believe rings go in hog ‘snoots’, tattoos go on branded cows, while purple, pink and green hair goes on the Shrine Circus clowns. If a cell phone was being screamed at in a moving vehicle, the engine would explode like an atom bomb, head for a cotton field mud hole and mire up like a broke axled overloaded ox wagon. Phil reminded me growing up trucks didn’t have power steering and it actually took two hands to stay out of a ditch. Ain’t no way you could even talk with yo’ hands full of phones, radios, cds, books, makeup while trying to adjust the mirror to admire yo’self. Have you ever thought if folks left home ten minutes earlier, they wouldn’t have to practice their own private NASCAR circuit on the highways and byways? Possibly be courteous and friendly as all were many, many years ago. Friends wouldn’t it be nice if each community only required a Police Chief and his primary
function was to retrieve a scared cat from a tall maple tree maybe three times a year? Mona Joyce and Lynn reminded me with, “we didn’t lock our doors when we grew up.” E m e r s o n chimed in, “we lost our keys so we couldn’t lock up.” Bud locked the smokehouse once when the family took a vacation. Yep! It took a hacksaw and the useless lock was dangled in the hook just so the door wouldn’t fly open. No crime! Neighbor, wouldn’t it crumble the corn bread if those Preacha’ television evangelists announced live on the air, “don’t send no money, we gonna’ heal for nothing?” I’d drop my big tea glass of clabber milk, spoon, chopped onion and splatter it all over the floor. Beloved, I guess there are just some things frankly I don’t understand and never will. Why in the world would billions of dollars be spent for one individual to be president of our United States of our America and waste all this money on a job that don’t pay but two hundred thousand dollars a year? Ain’t much logic there? Try puttin’ in a cotton crop that cost one
billion dollars. Now sell that same crop for two hundred thousand. How long would that farming last? Can you believe these same brilliant intellectual genius folks are now our l e a d e r s ? Spooks me. Don’t they realize we get television on the same day they do? I reckon we claim to be the smartest folks in the world. We done got us a man on the moon. I don’t know what he is doing up there? Maybe he wanted to get away from his ex-mother in law. We have domed stadiums and ball parks costing billions. Some folks are digging up and checking bones from a million years ago of over grown mules? Why waste money? As Paul said, “them folks got too much time on their hands.” I don’t understand why in the world we can’t ‘figger’ out a way for our Senior Citizens to receive health care with out taking all their precious hard earned money. These wonderful folks led this nation to greatness by hard work. Why can’t they be rewarded with some compassion today? Without ’em where would we be? So pay
for doctors and medicine. If we live along enough we gonna’ be in the same slowly tippin’ over boat. So just listen to my Southern Rednecks as they know all the answers…GLORY!

It’s Time... To all our faithful customers I realize the time is now for me to move on and forward. Since my life has made such a dramatic change, I have tried and prayed for the passion and will to return for Main Street but it has not happened. We will begin a 20-50% reduction of all inventory beginning January 18th, 2010. The Tea Room will remain open until our last day of operation, which will be dictated by our complete liquidation. All of you have been incredibly special the last 14 years to me and my family. Mostly, you are one of the very best chapters of my life. This has truly been a remarkable journey. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
WALL Continued from Page A4 nology, engineering and math. What about the students who excel in other areas, such as reading, writing and art? Are these not important? Should a student who loves to read refocus her energy on multiplication and finding the value of X? The governor also proposed a "vastly expanded" approach to professional development for teachers and principals as well as the use of achievement data as an evaluation tool. Bredesen disclosed the Race to the Top funding requires student achievement data be used as a significant factor when evaluating teachers, which is an area of "significant weakness" for the state. Weakness, simply put, because the state doesn't currently use achievement data in evaluations. In fact, current legislation prohibits it. "We pay teachers to teach children; a part of their evaluation ought to be how much the children they teach learn," Bredesen said. I agree, but is using this information fair to teachers? Using data from the Value-Added achievement would seemingly be one compromise, but many will debate this as well. Studies have shown a correlation between socioeconomic status and a student's educational success. Does this mean the teachers at schools with high poverty rates – like that of Covington Integrated Arts Academy – will be considered to be of lesser quality because their students' test scores would likely be lower? The second part of Bredesen's plan,
Complete College Tennessee, will bring legislative changes he believes are necessary to improve college completion rates, which lag behind 41 other states in the country. The changes Bredesen proposes under this act would make it easy for college students who earn an associates degree at a community college to transfer to a four-year university as a junior. The governor would like to see other factors, not just enrollment, determine funding for post-secondary institutions and model the class schedules for community colleges and universities after those at technical schools. Additionally, Bredesen believes in determining why only 19 percent of Tennessee high school freshmen go on to graduate from post-secondary schools. To find the solution you have to determine the problem. This I am on board with. Bredesen touts the TEIP as a common sense approach and I believe the Complete College Tennessee act is just that: common sense solutions. But the First to the Top act worries me. There are so many questions. It's a lot to consider and our representatives don't have a lot of time to consider it. "Seize the day," Bredesen said. Not because he's eager to make changes, reform this education mess we've gotten ourselves into, but because the Race to the Top application is due Tuesday. I hope our elected officials proceed with caution and make sure this is legislation right for our children. The last

thing we need is another well-meaning, but poorly executed plan like the No Child Left Behind Act. I think Tennessee could one day lead the way in education reform, but I urge our lawmakers to do it right, not do it right now.
Your Friends at Main Street,
Notice of Public Meeting TVA to Hold Open House on Proposed Transmission Line TVA will hold an open house to gather public input on plans for a proposed transmission line that is needed to provide a reliable source of power to the Burlison, Tennessee, area. The proposed project consists of about seven miles of 161-kilovolt transmission line extending northwest from TVA’s existing ShelbyCovington No. 1 161-kV line to the proposed Burlison Substation, located near the intersection of Highway 59 and Garland Drive in Burlison. The map shows the location of the substation and the alternative line routes that TVA is studying. A PDF map and additional information can be found at www.tva.com/power/projects.

And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Galatians 5: 24-25

In the epistle to the Galatians, the apostle Paul contrasts the work of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit, and warns us that the works of the flesh are contrary to the Spirit, and further, that those who practice them "shall not inherit the kingdom of God." (Galatians 5:21) The contest of this warning is noteworthy. That is, Paul has been telling the Galatians that as Christians they need not follow the letter of the Mosaic Law, including the injuction to be circumcised. However, he warns that although they are freed from the law by Christ's sacrifice, they are not free to indulge the desires of the flesh. Those who "walk in the Spirit" will manifest the fruit of the Spirit, which Paul tells us is "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control." (Galatians 5:22-23), In contrast, the works of the flesh are "fornication, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger, selfishness, dissension, party spirit, envy, drunkeness, carousing and the like." (Galatians 5: 19-21) Despite being freed from the dictates of the law, as Christians, we must not fall prey to the desires of the flesh and must work constantly on manifesting the fruit of the Spirit. We should reflect on our own lives and behavior. Do we manifest the fruit of the Spirit or the works of the flesh?

Jerry Norman Barmer Date of Death - Jan. 6, 2010 Jerry Barmer, 67, of Memphis, died Jan. 6 at St. Francis Hospital in Memphis. Jerry was born with severe spastic cerebral palsy with severe contractures, which left him unable to speak or to move, except that he could move his elbow to say “hello” and he had the most beautiful smile. Incredibly, he far outlived the life expectancy predicted by doctors due to the love and dedication of his grandmother, mother and sister, who all cared for him his entire life. He was a ember of two churches: First Baptist Church in Covington and Assembly of God Church in Memphis. Services were held Jan. 11 with interment in Helen Crigger Cemetery. Munford Funeral Home-Munford Chapel was in charge of the arrangements. Jerry was preceded by his grandmother, Mocillar Harkness, who helped care for him for 15 years, his father, John Barmer, and his mother, May Bell Barmer, who dedicated her life caring for her son. He is survived by his beloved sister, Lorene Austill, who resumed the care of Jerry, and was with him at his bedside until he passed. He is also survived by his niece and nephew and their families: Debbie Hulette and her husband, Steve, and children Seth and McKenna of Eads and Tim Austill and wife, Perrylin, and son Hunter of Covington.

Brighton By Debe Simonton 268-0091 Hello my Brighton friends, Congratulations to the University of Alabama! Roll Tide and they did over the Texas Longhorns on Jan. 7. That was especially for my friend Tonya Mallory and all the Bama fans in our fair county. Now for the biggest upset yet! Go Big Orange. The University of Tennessee played their hearts out against Kansas under much stress. Number 16 topples numnber 1. Sorry Millie, but even you have to admit that was something. I guess Bennett Stitt is in all orange this week. I am all about the SEC. I am sure you will get to read my favorite eventually. Goodness we have a lot going on this month. I talked to Donna Fee and Audrey Poston and the BMS baseball club is having a fundraiser on Saturday, Jan. 16 at 6 p.m. They are sponsoring the Miss BMS beauty pageant. There are 40 contestants and it will be held in the cafeteria at the middle school. The admission is only $5. Please get out and support these precious beautiful girls. The Brighton High School has a lot of fun activities this month as well. First their infamous Oscar Night is on Jan. 23 at 6:30 in the gymnasium. If you don't know or haven't been to see this award program, your missing it! This is an evening of elegance that the senior class walks the "Red Carpet." They have an emcee and show on a
Gilt Edge By Bernadine McAfee Margaret Partlow had 38 family members at her house Christmas Eve; they always have a good time and plenty of good food. Margaret is always a pleasure to talk to and is a Leader reader. I want to tell you about a person that did not want to go to school. His parents were Jess and Ruby Pearl Walker, who we called "Aunt Dolly." She would walk their son Ed to school and he would get back to their house before she did. He finally stayed at school. He married at an early age, served in the military, and as a
Almyra By Libby Click Hi everyone. The artic blast has hopefully come and gone. All the frozen ponds were very pretty to look at. However, it has been such misfortune for the many children having lost their lives trying to walk or skate on them. Our pond must have responded a "tad" to that heat wave of 43˚ on Monday. We began to see some darkness around the edges and a few spots throughout the area. I don't know which hurts the worst, the cold or the effects of the Obama administration? Never dreamed in my lifetime that we in this country would have a president who openly supports such non-Christmas ideas. As my preacher recently said, our teachers cannot even have a moment of silence anymore in our public school. As my mama use to say to us, "stay on your side of the street" when growing up in the city and we got to ride our bikes around the block. We were disciplined if a neighbor told her we were across the street. "Stay on your side of the street," Christians. We must unite. It's time for us to take back our gov-

screen the nominees for the superlatives (the Who's Who in my day). It is really fun. Next is the OMG (oh my gosh) Womanless Beauty Review! This is on the Jan. 28. Talk about hilarious. This is always a hit at the school. This is also in the gym at 6:30. The Cardinals are playing at home against Hardin County on Friday the 15th and the next week both games are out of town. Hardin is a district game so we really need to support our boys and girls team and get out and cheer them on. The football boosters are going to begin selling flats of strawberries. This is a pre-sale fundraiser.The flats will be $20 and will be trucked in around the end of February or first of March. Yum yum. Neal and I were at Walmart earlier this week and ran into so many people. Christie Maxwell asked us to make sure we sent prayers up for Bill Stimpson. He is having surgery this week. We also need to continue our prayers for the Graves family for they continue to grieve for their loss and struggles of life. Leeann Bing asked me to mention her daughter Cheryl for prayers also. My next door neighbors lost their mother-grandmother-greatgrandmother in Ms. Margorie Huld. She passed on Saturday, Jan. 9. We need to keep Robin, granddaughter, and Ms. Louise, daughter, in our prayers. Thankfully the frigid temperatures have climbed back up some and we are beginning to be a little more transit now. It has been quite an ordeal to get bundled up and scurry out to our vehicles to get
to work and appointments. I am not sure most people ventured out anywhere they didn't have to go. So on this note we need to remember those who have little heat and warmth during the extreme weather we have had. The FFA department and their sponsors, William and Terri Lea and Michelle Rankin are doing just that. They are heading up a program to warm the students who come to school without the needed clothes for these temperatures. They are starting small and hopefully will expand to a full closet for clothing that students need. Right now they need coats, jackets, hats, scarves, and gloves. These are some of the nicest kids who would never even ask for help because of their physical conditions. Please help them by donating clothing you no longer wear or in my case, can wear. Remember these are regular adult sizes for the most part, so smalls to 2 or 3X and also men’s sizes also. The FFA dept. will appreciate your generosity and I am sure those cold students will too. This is the end of my notes for today. Please if you have anything you would like to have mentioned in the notes, just give me a call. I would love to hear from you! Thanks to my sweet friends Robin Racine, Michelle Johnston, Cyndi Timbs, Millie Pullen, Barbara David, Liz Flanagan,and Wanda Scott. I pray the an gels watch over you and our Father in heaven keeps you safe. For another week, Love to all, Debe

Church; second week, Randolph Assembly; third week, Brighton Assembly. Beginning at 8 a.m., they have speakers. Dot Smith who lives in Pensacola, Fla. is a wonderful person.

On Saturday, Jan. 2, Josh Blyue, John Blyue, Chad Whitehead and Collier Turner attended the Liberty Bowl in Memphis to see the Arkansas Razorbacks' and the East Carolina Pirates' football game. John's ticket was a Christmas present from his brother Josh. John
was born in Huntsville, Ark. and Josh was born in Fayetteville, Ark. The Pigs did good and won 20-17. When I was 14 years old, my sister Wilma and her husband J.D. McClung and their family lived in Minor, Mo. They came and spent Christmas with us at Randolph and I went home with them, stayed a few days, then rode a bus to Memphis. My daddy met me. We rode another bus to Covington, then got on the Star Bus Line that ran from Covington to Richardson Landing. Mr. Blankenship was the driver; we got off at the bridge below Turnage Grocery.
ernment. It's necessary that we Republicans and Independents are heard. The thought of abortion and same sex marriages are in existence is deplorable. However, there are some options. First of all, "get involved." It is so important to get the facts. We cannot change history, but we can make a difference in our upcoming elections. Praise the Lord we still have that privilege. We have organizations here in the county called "We The People," which is bipartisan that can help us focus and determine what our next steps should be. We meet on the square in Covington in the building next door to McBride and Stitt. Bring your on lawn chairs and join us. You will be glad you did. The guest speaker next week will be Bryan Cisco from Jackson.

On Friday, Jan. 22. The Brighton High School class of 61 will have having there luncheon in Covington at the Old Town Hall. Looking forward to seeing you all there. A final note.

Mt. Carmel/Clopton By Elaine Watkins 476-7093 It’s a cool Tuesday morning but not a cool as last week! We made it through the three below-10 degree nights last week and the weather man said we had 100 straight hours of below freezing temperatures. That’s cold; we even had a dusting of snow. This is probably going to be a quick column but I forgot something last week I wanted to get in, although part of it is too late. I had written the notes on my calender but it was on my 2009 calendar and I didn’t have it with me. Sorry! The call was from Blanche Jordan Scott, who has written a book A Boy From Tupelo to a Man From Memphis. She knew Elvis very well and used to meet him and George Klein at a service station across from Lauderdale Courts Apartments and walk to Humes High School together. After school all the teens would meet back at the same place for Cokes and chips. What I’m late on is that you could have spent a night in his old renovated apartment last week in celebration of The King’s 75 birthday. She said there were people there from all over the world. She had a good booksigning; I hope she continues to do well with her book. To get in touch with her about one call 358-1461. Oh, the reason this is going to be short is that I have pink eye and probably shouldn’t strain it too long looking at the computer screen! Well, we got the bedroom renovation started last week. We have a five-foot room off of it that’s been used as a sunporch, an office, and more recently, a place to throw stuff! It has French doors going into it. We tore out the walls and now our closet will be that much longer. We’re putting the French doors up for the closet doors. It’s been a very messy job and we’re going to have to replace some sockets and switches but it’s started anyway! Can’t wait till it’s finished and I can decorate. I got curtains and the bedspread for Christmas and two new lamps for our anniversary! Friday night James and I met Michelle Huggins Nowak for supper in Millington. We sat for two hours and talked - till they asked us nicely to leave so they could clean up! We had a good time. She was happy she’d had two days out of school in Lauderdale County. Elizabeth and I went back to Millington looking for molding and paint, checking prices. Going to buy everything in Covington after all. She picked out paint for the nursery. Congratulations to Wayne and Charlene Dalrymple and girls on their new home! May they have many happy years there. Kenneth Mason is waiting test results. The Langston twins, Aerik and Kali, have been sick for weeks. Todd Campbell, Cammy Evans’ brother, had his thyroid removed yesterday. Ladies Retreat is January 29-31. We’re all looking forward to that! The Birthday Party at Covington Manor will be Saturday at 2 p.m. and the Devotional at Covington Care will be at 4 on Sunday. I have no birthdays. This week’s CK Report: CK and the hens are eating cat food on the step. I can hear them cruching. It was really funny last week when I was giving CK warm milk while it was so cold, that the black hen was drinking it! They are so weird! This week’s Farmers Alamanc Quote: “It was once customary for new brides in France to break an egg on the doorstep of their new home for good luck.” Going to give my eye a rest. It’s better than it was Sunday anyway. Until next week . . .Elaine

ors who have allowed the subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so.� Stop and think about that for a minute. That’s a pretty profound statement, right? Now guess who said it? Adolf Hitler. We need to be careful about the decisions we make when we’re listening to what’s being said. Might the speaker be another Hitler? I’m not saying that’s my opinion, just asking. We need to slow down for a minute, listen analyze and make our own choices. If our government will allow us to continue to make our own decisions. It seems that they’re agenda is to have them make all the decisions and us obey what they determine is the right thing to do.

476-2683 Hello from Burlison. I like to hunt and shoot guns and pretty much always have. Growing up here in the rural Burlison area has allowed me and many others to target practice almost anywhere at any time, but times they are a changing. It’s still a lot better here than a lot of places I imagine. There are a lot of people that say we should ban guns from private citizens because having a gun around the house is dangerous. What if a child finds it? If the facts are researched, you will find that more children drown in bathtubs than are accidentally killed by a gun. We, the adults, need to teach and watch out for our children. Accidents happen in many areas concerning children, but if we teach them correctly about guns and other areas of concern, we might avoid many of those accidents. I would like to relate a quote. “The most foolish mistake we could make is to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquer-

Remember in this fast pace today, “it’s always good to keep a cool head, because most times cool heads makes for better decisions.� Until next time. girl is Gladys Marie Louis Jackson. I said that this is a special birthday because Ms. Jackson is turning 90. The luncheon is being given by her seven children, Richard Jackson, Barbara Swords, Betty Shahan, Christine Knight, Faye Alsbrook, Gail Matthews and Pamela Cromwell. The birthday celebration will be from noon until 2 p.m. The family would like to invite all Ms. Jackson’s friends and family to come and have lunch or just stop by to say hi and wish her a Happy 90th Birthday. The Burlison City Council held its monthly meeting on Jan. 12. A discussion was held about when the neighborhood watch meetings would begin again. It was decided by the Council to discuss this at the next meeting. The council would also like to acknowledge a donation to the Burlison Community Center fund by the Kinney family.

County’s seen worse temperatures By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com Living in an area where extremely cold temperatures and high levels of snow are rare, last week’s single digit temperatures had everyone talking. It was the coldest week Tipton County had seen in 14 years. But it wasn’t the coldest ever on record. The winter of 1967 brought temperatures which reached a low of 19 degrees in December but it was a winter almost 50 years earlier which holds the record. The headline of the Jan. 17, 1918 edition of The Covington Leader read, “Mercury takes tumble to fifteen below zero.” It was the blizzard of 1918 and as The Covington Leader reported, it was the coldest weather ever known in the county. More than eight inches of snow had fallen on Dec. 8, 1917, followed by several days of lesser amounts.
With the ground already covered in a white mantle, snowfall again started on Thursday, Jan. 10, 1918 and continued to fall throughout the night. Coupled with a wind from the north, the temperature dropped to an unheard of 15 degrees below zero. It was so cold that the county’s schools were cancelled on the account of the extreme temperatures and the shortage of coal. That day beat out the previous record of low temperature which was recorded in February 1899. After days of continuous snowfall and sleet, on Feb. 12, 1899 it reportedly dipped to 12 degrees below zero. So cold in fact the newspaper reported the Mississippi River at Randolph was frozen so solidly on Saturday, Feb. 11 and Sunday, Feb. 12, that people walked across the ice to the Arkansas shore and down the river as far as Richardson’s Landing.
Signups for the AARP driver safety course are underway at BancorpSouth, 815 Hwy. 51 No. in Covington. The course will be offered Feb. 23 and 24 at the location above. The cost is $12 for AARP Members

Rebels pick up league win over Fayette By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com Tipton-Rosemark Academy picked up a big win Tuesday night at home. Despite falling behind early, the Rebels rallied and
pulled out a 56-49 Division II-A victory over Fayette Academy. J.T. Moody had a huge night from the Rebels (4-3 overall, 1-2 district), scoring 23 points. TRA trailed 15-10 after one
period, but won the second quarter 27-12. The game got tight late but the Rebel defense held Fayette Academy to five points in the fourth quarter to secure the win. Kevin Sansom added 13 points for TRA. Jack McQuis-
ton and Caleb Ashcraft each scored six points. In girls’ action, Fayette Academy jumped on TRA early and cruised to a 54-22 win. The Lady Vikings move to 12-0 on the season after surg-
ing to a 17-4 first-quarter lead. Julianne McCommon led the way for the Lady Rebels (0-7) with 11 points. Samantha Reeves led Fayette Academy with 14 points. TRA hosts FACS today and USJ on Friday.
Lady Chargers pluck Lady Cardinals By STEVE HOLT Special to the Leader

Tray Johnson looks to score in action Saturday night against Covington. The Chargers won 10383.
Chargers light up Cards By STEVE HOLT Special to the Leader In the first of their two scheduled meetings this season, the Covington Chargers swooped into the “Birds Nest” at Brighton on Saturday night and flew away with a 103-83 non-district win over their incounty rival. Punctuated by a couple of rim-rattling, crowd pleasing dunks from Lester Gude, CHS put up 30+ points in the first and third periods and never trailed in the contest to claim the victory. Behind Gude’s 15 first quarter points, CHS streaked out to a 12 point, 32-20 lead and was never headed. The Cardinal defense stiffened in the second period and they held the Chargers to 18 points. That is the only quarter in the last 10 that CHS had been held to less than 20 points. Despite that, the Chargers held a 13-point, 50-37 lead at the half. The Cardinals found their offensive punch in the third period putting 27 on the board but they were unable to contain CHS who scored 30 to extend their lead to 16 at 80-64 at period’s end. Carl McKenzie provided the punch for Covington with 16 of his team and game high 34 points in the period. He added 10 more in the fourth as CHS exceeded the century mark for the first time this season outscoring the Cardinals 23-19 in the final frame. The Chargers were much improved from recent games at the free throw line shooting 75 percent (20/25) while the Cardinals were 16/23 at the line for 60 percent. CHS committed 11 turnovers to the Cardinals 14 in the game. The Cardinals were led in scoring by Ricky Foster’s 23 points. CHS and Brighton will face off again on Jan. 30 in Covington. The Chargers do not play again until a crucial District 13 AA game on Friday, Jan. 15, against the ninth ranked Ripley Tigers.
Cardinals get back on track By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com Three days removed from a tough loss to county rival Covington, the Brighton boys got back on track Tuesday night at home. Ricky Foster scored 19 points as the Cardinals pulled away from MHEA in the second quarter and won 81-68. The score was tied 18-18 after one period before Brighton won the second period 25-015 to take control of the game. Foster scored in the paint and on the perimeter to spark the surge. Demetrius Dyson also had a big game for the Cardinals with 17 points. Jonathan Stark added 11 and Tray Johnson finished with eight. Josh Brown led MHEA with 24 and Tariq Lockhart added 22. The Cardinals (8-10) return to action Friday night at home against district foe Hardin County.
Westview nips Lady Chargers By STEVE HOLT Special to the Leader On paper it was the classic miss-match. The Westview Lady Chargers now 14-3, 5-2 and participants in last season’s TSSAA Class AA state semi-finals figured to blow away the Covington Lady Chargers now 3-13, 2-6. It just did not happen. Continuing their inspired, scrappy play that has characterized 2010, the CHS squad fell 64-61 last Friday night to a veteran Westview team but not without a fight. The Lady Chargers were the victims of five Westview 3-pointers in the first quarter as they fell behind by 10 points. CHS cut the lead to eight at the break, 33-25, as neither team could manage much offense. Westview pushed the lead to 11, 53-42, after three periods and seemed to be in control before the Lady SEE LADY CHARGERS, PAGE A21
In a rough and tumble battle on Saturday night at Brighton that saw 66 total foul shots in the game, the Covington Lady Chargers came from behind to clip the Brighton Lady Cardinals 73-69 in a see-saw battle for county bragging rights. Dominique Ross turned in a career performance with 35 points to lead CHS 4-13, 2-6, to the victory. The Lady Cardinals, 7-5, were paced in scoring by Jasmine Pittman’s 19 points. Covington scored the game’s first five points and behind Ross’ 11 first period points took a 19-14 lead after one stanza. Not to be headed on their home court, Brighton turned up the defensive pressure forcing seven CHS turnovers in the second period and roared back to take a one point 33-32 half-time lead. The Lady Chargers looked to take command in the third period as they jumped ahead 38-33 on quick baskets by Ross and Carruthers. However, poor shot selection and turnovers fueled a 14-0 Lady Cardinal run that suddenly found Brighton up 47-38 with less than two minutes remaining in the period. Covington came back with an 8-3 run of their own to close out the quarter and they headed to the 4th down 50-47. The final period was a procession to the free throw line for both teams. CHS was 14/22 at the line in the period while Brighton shot 11/16. Overall the Lady Chargers outscored the Lady Cardinals 2619 in the 4th to pull away for the non-district win. In a departure from recent games, CHS committed 24 turnovers in the contest versus 21 for BHS. The Lady Chargers shot 22/37 (59 percent) from the line. Brighton was better 20/29 (69 percent). These teams will meet again in Covington on January 30. The Lady Chargers will be in action next at Ripley on Friday, Jan. 15, in a District 13 AA contest. Tipoff is set for 6 p.m.

Dunlap Retirement Center By Kathy Keiter Hello everyone! I trust you’ve all had an extraordinary week and are looking forward to another one! I have. I’m still enjoying my Christmas decorations in my house. You see, I didn’t get them put up until a week before Christmas this year, so I need to be able to enjoy them just a little bit longer. I usually put my tree up at the end of November or for sure the first of December. Then I usually don’t take it down until the day after New Year, so I’m kind of a30-day lover of Christmas decorations. I just love to sit and look at all of it. But, this is the first time I’ve ever waited this late to put it up and
I don’t think I’ll ever wait that long again. It seems to really get me in the spirit of Christmas when I decorate, so I was just late getting into the spirit this year and I’m late getting out! Ha! But I’ve had to endure all those “you still got your tree up?” So, next year I’m gona be on the ball, 1st of December! Ha! Ha! Well we have had a great start to 2010 here at Dunlap! Everyone is still well and staying clear of the hospital, that’s a real praise! We’re sure hoping Mr. George Twisdale will be able to come back real soon. He has been in Covington Care Rehab for the last several weeks. God bless you Mr. George, we

8th grader receives perfect score on ACT Explore
Tipton County Middle School Supervisor Patsy Fee and Crestview Middle School Principal James Fields congratulate CMS eighth grader Brad Walker and his mother Sonya Walker for Bradʼs perfect score on the ACT Explore test. Brad is the son of Tony and Sonya Walker of Covington.
Grizzly Facts By SARA GANGAWARE Special to The Leader There are approximately 50 school days left until TCAP testing in Tipton County Schools. Fifth and eight graders take the TCAP Writing Assessment on Feb. 2 - only a few short weeks away. These test are rigorous and comprehensive. While we start teaching this material the first days of school, things heat up as test dates get close! Teachers and students are working furiously every day to cover, practice, and hone skills to perfection. Every student, every skill, and every school day is important. For these reasons, we need students in school all day every day. Parents and caretakers, please make sure your students attend school regularly. Plan appointments after school hours or during school holidays. Don’t check out your students unless the school nurse calls. Students can’t learn what’s being taught in the classrooms if they aren’t there. Students are counted absent for the time they miss when they check out. We are indeed lucky to have nice, comfortable, safe school buildings stocked full of highly qualified teachers and staff. Student attendance is the beginning of great possibilities! Sixth grade math teachers Brandy Prince and Samantha Lindley asked students to stay after school for extra help and tutoring in math before semester exams. One hundred percent of the students who participated showed gains! These teachers are offering extra assistance to students through TCAP testing in March. We also offer tutoring in the mornings and afternoons and students receive extra help through Project Excel. Several of our writing teachers are
working after school every day to help students prepare for the writing assessment. All after school tutoring services offered to our students are FREE and facilitated by certified and highly qualified CMS teachers. Why not do it? We are offering free self improvement opportunities to our students!! Parents - get your kids involved - all students can benefit from this! Never miss an opportunity to learn more! Improve yourself – that is what it is all about! Call 475-5904, 475-5905, or 475-5909 for more information on tutoring at CMS! All Tennessee eighth graders take the ACT Explore test. It is part of the State’s assessment of progress and readiness. These scores determine and predict a lot about our students, including which classes students should register for in high school. Because this is an ACT test, it is very complex and arduous. We are proud to report, however, that CMS eighth grader Brad Walker has received a perfect score – something rarely achieved. Not only are we proud of this amazing accomplishment, indeed the entire Tipton County school district is applauding his achievements. Congratulations to Brad, his family, and his teachers! We need to be in school every day, but sometimes the weather can turn nasty and make driving conditions hazardous. We make every effort to consider the safety and well being of our students when things like this happen. Therefore, it may be necessary to close school and/or cancel school activities from time to time. Please tune to local television and radio channels for this news. The school office does NOT get this information first – the news media does.

Charger Beat By STEVE HOLT Special to the Leader From the principal’s desk… CHS wishes you a happy New Year! We are back at work and doing well in spite of the freezing temperatures. We have started the second semester with our focus on testing again. Although the ACT doesn’t test vocabulary it’s needed for every sub-test given on the test. Here are five examples of words, their meanings and usage taken from http:// www.number2.com. When you visit the website, you will see several options for test prep help. You can sign up for a daily e-mail free of charge or work on it whenever you have the time. It is a great website for growing your vocabulary and your ACT score. 1. comprise (verb) To make up, to compose. As a wedding gift, they were given a tea set that comprised eight cups, eight saucers, a creamer and a sugar bowl. 2. cursory (adj) Performed rapidly without attention to details; hasty. Unable to take the time to make a thorough examination, the mechanic gave the car a cursory inspection and then declared it road-worthy. 3. conspicuous (adj) Attracting attention; easily noticeable; prominent. The clown usually took taxis to work; he felt conspicuous riding the bus in his purple wig, floppy shoes and bulbous red nose. 4. discerning ( adj) Acute; shrewd; perceptive; discriminating. The discerning
buyer was quick to realize that the vase on the auction block was a replica, not an original. 5. covet (verb) To enviously desire. To want what another has. Barbara longed to live the way that Shauna did; she coveted her house, her car and her clothing. Parent-teacher conferences CHS and all Tipton County middle and high schools will hold parentteacher conferences on Tuesday, Jan. 19, from 3:15-6:15 p.m. Please take this opportunity to visit child’s school and check up on his/her progress. Volleyball honors Congratulations to Allie Moss and Molli Hanks for their selection to the All West Volleyball Team by The Jackson Sun. Allie was named to the first team and Molli was honorable mention. Financial aid night Covington High School is sponsoring a financial aid seminar on Tuesday, Jan.19, from 5:30 - 6:30 p.m. in the CHS cafeteria. The presentation will be made by Ms. Sandra Rockett,fFinancial aid director from Dyersburg State Community College. Ms. Rockett will present a general overview of financial aid, scholarships and the FAFSA application that is applicable to any college or university. All prospective college students and parents are welcome. That is all for this week. See you nest time on The Charger Beat.
American Legion to hold high school scholarship contest By KEN ARMBRISTER Special to the Leader The American Legion is proud to announce its 2010 High School Oratorical Contest. The contest exists to instill deeper knowledge and appreciation for the U.S. Constitution among high school students and required speeches must center on some aspect of this subject. The contest is a national competition consisting of successive local post, district, state, and national contests. The local post
contest is a first step designed to give all of the participants experience and assistance to compete in the district competition and onward. The local post contest will be held on Tuesday, Jan. 19 at 6:30 p.m. at the Atoka City Hall, 334 Atoka-Munford Ave. High School students must be under the age of 20 to participate. Those who make it to the National level will compete for various scholarships. The overall national contest winner receives an $18,000 scholarship. Second place takes home $16,000, and third gets $14,000. Each state winner who is certified into and partici-
pates in the national contest’s first round receives a $1,500 scholarship. Those Tipton County students who wish to enter this competition should contact their high school guidance office or the home school association for an application. Applications will also be available and can be submitted at the local post contest on Jan. 19. For more information contact the American Legion post representative, Jim Hardin at jimhardin@bellsouth. net or visit the American Legion website at www.legion.org/oratorical.
