County to see $100M in funding By TIFFANY HOLLAND tholland@covingtonleader.com Nashville — On Friday, Speaker Emeritus Jimmy Naifeh (D-Haywood & Tipton Counties) and Senator Mark Norris announced that during the current 2010-2011 fiscal year, approximately $100,781,300 in state appropriated expenditures will flow into Tipton County through various state agencies and programs.

Tipton County will also receive a portion of the $12.4 billion in federal funds that are included in Tennessee’s $29.9 billion budget as adopted by the 106th General Assembly. This included budgeted state appropriations benefiting Tipton County in the following general categories: $58,127,500 (Kindergarten through 12th grade); $5,454,500 state shared tax collections; $23,609,500 for health and social services; $4,297,600 for justice and pub-

lic safety; $1,776,000 for recreation and resources development; $5,901,200 for Economic Development and Higher Education; and $1,615,000 for state highway projects. “Difficult decisions had to be made in order to produce a balanced budget with no new taxes, but even with the tough decisions we were able to maintain the programs that matter most like Tennessee’s BEP 2.0 program,” said Naifeh. Norris agreed. “This is

particularly good news because the budget reflects an overall reduction in state government,” said Norris. “Over the last three years, we have cut the state budget by over $1.5 billion.” This also included the Health and Social Services’ appropriations benefiting Tipton County residents include $1,302,000 for Children’s Services; $79,500 for Community Intellectual Disability Programs; and $1,164,400 for Health services,

with $17,772,100 of the Health funds for TennCare. “In the coming years, as our economy continues to grow, we must not forget the lessons we’ve learned over these past few years,” said Naifeh. “By keeping a sizeable Rainy Day Fund, cutting inefficient programs, and tightening our belts, state government can run on the resources it has and not have to shift the burden onto the shoulders of working Tennesseans.”

Polls now open for early birds By TIFFANY HOLLAND tholland@covingtonleader.com Early voting has begun for this election season. Voting kicked-off on Wednesday, Oct. 13 at the early voting sites.

Pitcher arrested in Brighton By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com BRIGHTON – Suspicious activity led to the arrest of a former minor league pitcher wanted in three states, the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office announced last week. Just after midnight on Thursday, Oct. 7, deputies were on patrol in the 200 block of McCain Road in Brighton and observed a man urinating near his parked vehicle. The man, identified as 35-yearold Jason A. Anderson of Clarklake, Mich., told deputies he was lost. During the traffic stop, deputies confirmed Anderson’s drivers ANDERSON license was suspended in Michigan for driving while impaired by liquor. Additionally, Anderson had multiple active warrants in Michigan, South Dakota and Florida for an alleged nationwide scam. In Michigan, Anderson has active warrants for failure to appear on a charge of obstruction of justice SEE PITCHER, PAGE A3

Fire on the mountain By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com COVINGTON – Firefighters battled what has been called the worst forest fire in recent history earlier this week after smoke was reported on Millstone Mountain. The blaze, said fire chief Jerry Craig, was slow-burning and started in the middle of a heavily wooded area on the mountain summit. Craig said residents in the area reported smelling smoke for two days before the fire was seen. “People said they smelled it for a couple of days, but yesterday a boy was out in the woods running his squirrel dogs and saw it,” Craig said Tuesday. Just before 4:30 p.m. on Monday, sheriff’s deputies reported the fire and Covington firefighters were dispatched to the 1400 block of Millstone Mountain Road in the northern part of Tipton County. Over the course of the evening and into the next morning, fire-

fighters from seven Tipton County agencies – Covington, Brighton, Garland, Three Star, Quito, Munford and Charleston – worked together to extinguish the blaze. The terrain, said Craig, made

fighting the blaze difficult. “This was probably the worst place in the county you could have a forest fire,” he said. “Usually forest fires are on the side of the road or something easy to get to, but this one started in the middle and it was hard to get to it.” Officials with the Tennessee Department of Forestry cut a fire line, clearing trees and brush away from the slow-burning fire in the forest in hopes of keeping the fire contained. Additionally, the Tipton County Public Works Department cleared a roadway for the tanker and brush trucks. “There was already a road here, but they had to make it wide enough and smooth enough to get back there,” Craig said. Once the brush trucks were able to reach the fiery parts of the forest, crews had to carry thousands of feet of fire hose on their backs while navigating the hilly forest in SEE FIRE, PAGE A3

Facility rehabilitates, opens new unit By TIFFANY HOLLAND tholland@covingtonleader.com The Covington Manor Nursing Home held an open house celebration on Tuesday, Oct. 12 to showcase the new Tipton County rehab unit opening after months of work. An entire hospital wing was renovated, as well as the rest of the nursing home. These renovations are also part of the new “Get Well, Go Home Program” which also exists to ease the burden and have better care of senior citizens leaving the hospital in Tipton County. Many elderly patients leaving the Tipton County hospital to rehabilitative facilities have been forced to travel to Memphis or Jackson in order to receive proper care. However, this new program allows for many of these patients to remain close to home at the Covington Manor located on Highway 51 in Covington. The “Get Well, Go Home Program” treats patients in rehabilitative therapy by surrounding

them with the comforts of home and encouraging social and family activities. “This is not a stereotypical nursing home program,” said Scott Hurst, the nursing home administrator. “The number one priority is to solidify family contacts because the best place to get well is at home. So not only are we making it easier for families to see their loved ones and ease the travel burden but we are making every effort to give the new renovated facilities the feeling of home.” The new renovations include hardwood floors, a juice and coffee bar, wooden chandeliers, flat screen televisions for every patient, a new gym and work-out room, an outdoor picnic area and a lounge with new sofas and tables for visitors to see their friends and loved ones. Made to house 43 patients, the new wing of the nursing home is designed with all the comforts of home to encourage patients to get better by easing them into their rehabilitative routines. There is even a graduation every week

for patients who have become well enough to go home. The change of scenery does not stop at the new rehabilitative efforts, but paint, carpet and new furniture has been added to other parts of the nursing home, giving the comforts of home to everyone in the vicinity. The remodeling for the program began in February and costs $700,000 which is funded by the state and Medicare. The patients are already being admitted as needed and dozens have already graduated from the programs. They are admitted by local doctors and the Tipton County Hospital that is just across the street so patients do not have to travel far, which is often hard on people with this need of care. This grand opening was held from 2-6 p.m. and a large crowd came out to witness the event, including patient loved ones, civic leaders and community volunteers. Anyone is welcome to volunteer in the nursing home efforts just by getting in contact with Covington Manor.

APD destroys prescriptions By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com ATOKA – After collecting prescription medications during a nationwide take-back day, on Oct. 1 an estimated 20 pounds of drugs were destroyed by Atoka police. The department, along with the 25th Judicial District Drug Task Force, participated in the Drug Enforcement Agency’s first take-back initiative on Saturday, Sept. 25. The effort was part of a nationwide program to help the community rid their households of unused, expired and unwanted prescription drugs, which can pose a safety hazard and contribute to prescription drug abuse and increased pill abuse and theft. “Statistics show prescription medicine is the fastest-growing addiction,” said DTF director John B. Thompson. “It’s alarming.” In 2008, a reported 6.2 million Americans ages 12 and older who abused prescription drugs for non-medical purposes

FRONT.indd 2

was more than the number of people who are abusing cocaine, heroin, hallucinogens and inhalants combined. In addition to addiction, the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs has also increased. According to the Centers for Disease Control, prescription drugs, including opioids and antidepressants, are responsible for more overdose deaths than street drugs like cocaine, heroin and amphetamines. And 1 in 7 teens admit to abusing prescription drugs to get high in the past year. Sixth percent of teens who abused prescription pain relievers did so before the age of 15. Many people who abuse drugs turn to prescription medications because they are easier to obtain than illegal street drugs. Atoka Police Chief Jessie Poole said saving one life makes the program worthwhile. “This is a great pro-

gram and is something that needs to be done more frequently,” he said. “It was very successful. We had individuals bring in medication on an anonymous basis and each commended the program. They’re very thankful for it.” On Oct. 1, members of

Republican nominee Stephen Fincher, Democrat Roy Herron, and Independent candidates Donn Janes and Mark J. Rawles. This is the first time that long-time incumbent John Tanner has not been in the election since he first went to office in 1988, but he decided to retire this year. In the governor’s race, the competition is full with Republican Bill Haslam, Democrat Mike McWherter and 14 independent candidates on the ballot. There is also a Constitutional Amendment for the State of Tennessee on whether “the citizens of this state shall have the personal right to hunt and fish, subject to reasonable regulations and restrictions prescribed by law. The recognition of this right does not abrogate any private or public property rights, nor does it limit the state’s power to regulate commercial activity. Traditional manners and means may be used to take non-threatened species.” Voters will be able to vote “yes” or “no” on the amendment. Jeff Morris, administrator of elections for Tipton County, is encouraging voters to take advantage of early voting. “Local voters have come to enjoy the benefits and convenience of voting early,” administrator Morris said. “Voters can vote at their convenience and not worry about rushing to the polls on Election Day.” Early voting lasts from Oct. 13-28 and will be held at Tipton County Election Commission office at 113 E. Church Street in Covington and at the Munford Board Room at 69 College Street in Munford. The hours for early voting will be 8:30 a.m. through 5 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, from 8:30 a.m. through 6 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday, and 8:30 through 12 p.m. on Saturday.

PITCHER

Continued from A1 – no account check in Monroe County. The warrants in South Dakota were for fraud and three counts of grand theft by deception in Rapid City, Pennington County. In Florida, Anderson’s warrants are for 11 counts of uttering a forged instrument with a collective bond of $55,000. “The out-of-state warrants surround allegations of a scam being committed by Anderson, a former California Angels pitcher, on little league parents,” said Tipton County Sheriff Pancho Chumley. “He allegedly was using some type of scam he was conducting on little league parents that had children he could give

access to the minor leagues,” Tipton County Assistant Chief Donna Turner told Action News 5’s Janie Broach last week. Anderson is currently in custody and awaiting extradition procedures for South Dakota and Florida. Michigan will not extradite on his charges. He was charged in Tipton County with driving on a suspended drivers license and was being held on a $2,000 bond. He was reportedly visiting family in the area. No claims of fraud have yet been made against Anderson in Tipton County.

FIRE

Continued from A1 the dark. “We had to operate off of one line because of the distance. The hoses come in 50-foot sections, so imagine carrying all of that on your back. That’s a lot of sections of hose.” By the time the blaze was extinguished 13 hours after the initial dispatch, approximately 20 acres of forest had burned. “This one was a hard one to fight. I’ve been here 33 years and this one was the worst and hardest one to get to.” Craig said the fire was likely accidentally started by hunters and several factors, such as the lack of wind, caused the fire to burn slowly. No damage was done to any of the homes in the area and no injuries were reported. A statewide ban on outdoor fires was imposed three weeks ago and remains in effect indefinitely, Craig said. If caught violating the burn ban, offenders will be cited into court and could face possible fines. For more information, please contact the Covington Fire Department at 901-4762578.

Hope for a cure Everyone knows October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It’s a month in which the color pink invades our everyday lives – from the yogurt lids to football players’ shoes to decorating bras to help support the cause and everywhere in between. Each of us knows someone who has suffered through breast cancer, whether he or she has lived to overcome it or died while valiantly fighting, and the cause tugs at our heartstrings because of the disease’s wide and indiscriminate reach. There is another cause for which October is known; it is not as widely marketed, but perhaps if more attention and awareness was brought to domestic violence, the cycle could be broken. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV), an estimated one in four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime. Domestic violence is defined as the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, and/or other abusive behavior perpetrated by an intimate partner against another. NCADV says it is an epidemic that affects individuals in every community, regardless of age, economic status, race, reliOFF THE RECORD gion, nationality or educational background. ECHO D AY Violence between partners is most often about dominance, with one partner controlling the other through emotional abuse. It often results in physical injuries, psychological trauma and even death. Two weeks ago we brought you news of the death of Dottie Reed, a Tipton County woman whose fiancé allegedly beat her until she was unconscious, then left her in her home for 24 hours before calling the police and allegedly reporting a fictitious story to cover his tracks. When police arrived at her Joe Reed Drive home on Sunday, Sept. 26, they found Reed had suffered injuries to the head, multiple bruising over her body and was unconscious. Reed, 56, died the next day. Her fiancé, James Eldridge Brooks Jr., has been charged with her murder and is currently in custody in Tipton County. Officials said there were no reports of domestic disputes between the couple, but, in general, men don’t just begin abusing women when they’re in their fifties. Violent behavior usually begins decades earlier. And children who witness abuse between their parents or other adults are more likely to accept this behavior as normal and either abuse their partners or allow themselves to be abused. Like breast cancer, domestic violence can affect both men and women. But unlike breast cancer, we can cure this epidemic right now. If you’re being abused by your partner, report the abuse and get out of the relationship. If you know someone who’s being abused, even if they deny it is happening, offer your help and your prayers. If you’re someone who’s abusing your partner, stop. Educate yourselves and others around you, especially teens, about dating and relationship abuse. Teach your children that love means respect, not broken bones and bruises and emotional abuse. I invite you to visit loveisrespect.org and ncadv.org for more information on what you can do to help end this epidemic and break the cycle of violence. Do it for Dottie Reed. Do it for your children. Do it for yourself. Just do it.

TDOT Maintenance Employees: Critical to state safety Moving people and goods safely across Tennessee is the top priority of the Tennessee Department of Transportation and paramount to achieving that goal are the men and women who make up TDOT’s Highway Maintenance Division. Each day in every county, TDOT maintenance employees perform a variety of tasks that keep Tennesseans moving along our 15,325 miles of interstate and state routes, and they’re some of the most skilled workers in the south. Maintenance workers are vital to keeping people moving in this state. They ensure large debris is quickly removed from our roadways; they clear state roads and interstates of ice and snow; and, they patch potholes and trim back vegetation along our roadways. Crews across the state recently completed a statewide initiative to clear vegetation blocking signs along our roads to ensure motorists are able to safely navigate our highways. Maintenance personnel also maintain the TDOT fleet of vehicles from dump trucks to passenger vans. As our transportation system ages the mainte-

nance tasks continue to grow. Today, TDOT utilizes contract employees for approximately 40 percent of all maintenance work. This includes many resurfacing, mowing and litter clean-up operations. What could be considered one of their most important responsibilities is the task of responding to natural disasters and other emergencies in our state. When the floods hit west and middle Tennessee, our highway maintenance employees worked around the clock to first close flooded roadways and then clear debris and reopen the roads once the waters receded. During the 2008 tornadoes that devastated Macon County, TDOT’s maintenance workers organized an army of dump trucks, front end loaders and other debris-clearing equipment to help the county clean up from the devastating storm. During last year’s harsh winter storms, these employees left their homes and traveled the roadways for hours on end, spreading salt and plowing snow to keep our highways open, even handing out food and water to stranded motorists. Tennessee Department of Transportation work-

ers recently took top prize at the annual Southern Regional Equipment Operators Training Exercise. The safety event pulls together maintenance workers from across the south to share experiences and learn how to improve safety here at home. They get to display their skills in six events that showcase their ability to maneuver heavy equipment through a series of obstacles and precision challenges. These include backhoes, motor graders, tractor mowers, equipment haulers, and dump trucks. This year, TDOT maintenance personnel placed first in four of the six events and placed in the top seven of all events. This is the fourth time TDOT’s maintenance employees have participated in the training event and the second time they’ve placed first overall. What that means for Tennesseans is that as you pass a TDOT dump truck or backhoe working along the highway, you will know that person is highly skilled in the safe operation of that equipment and may even be rated one of the best in the south.

Thursday, October 14, 2010 • THE LEADER • A5

Readers' Views Why I Need More Friends Dear editor, In my honest opinion, The Leader is the best. It’s better than the rest. I do not have the words to say just how much I appreciate that publication. I’ve found some dear friends due to my letters being printed. A lady just now called me. She is praying for me. I definitely need the prayers of true Christians. I also try to pray for others. I pray to God each night and day to help me find a better way. This dear lady is my neighbor. My doctor has told me for two years not to drive. I’ve used up most of my friends. I know several that’s in a lot worse shape than I. I’ve driven taxi cabs and school buses and I’m still able. You at The Leader have helped me find more friends and I’m very appreciative. That means a lot to me. I have no plans to give up yet especially at the present time. Again, let me state this: a quitter never wins and a winner never quits. Clyde Rush, Munford Rotary Run was a success thanks to its community support The 6th Annual Rotary Run was held on Sept. 25 at Shelton Park in Covington. Funds were raised for many of the local organizations and programs that the Rotary Club supports, such as the Carl Perkins Center, the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, the Special Olympics, the literacy council, the developmental center, local scholarships and Polio Plus. To be a rotarian, you must be a business or professional leader who takes an active role in your community while greatly enriching your personal and professional life. E-mail Clay Crockett, President of Covington Rotary with any further information at Clay.Crockett@bxs.com. It was a perfect day for a race with the early morning sun and gentle breeze of 70 degrees. Runners lined up with the anticipation of Heritage Day’s fried Oreos, Lee and Dawn Johnston’s blueberry cobbler and Dizzy Daisy’s desserts after the finish line. All I had on my mind was my favorite local latte from Coffee in the Attic-it was such an early morning! The course was set up

with the perfect combination of segments of hill challenge, change of surroundings and spurts of shade. Some of the participants were merely there to enjoy the day, the scenery and the exercise, while others were in the “zone,” hoping to finish first and break their goal time. Most importantly, though, we were all there to raise money for a great organization, the Rotary Club. We had a great turn-out and great volunteers for the event. We are so grateful for all of the support received from the community and local businesses. A special thanks to Le Chic Boutique, the Haberdashery, Something Special, Fusion Fitness and U.S. 51 Country for the raffle gifts. Also to all of the sponsors who helped make our fundraiser a success: Covington Manor, Dr. Roy Wrather, BancorpSouth, Baptist Memorial Healthcare, Covington Care, Holiday Inn Express & Suites, King Cotton Ford-Lincoln Mercury, Patriot Bank, Joe Swaim, Bank of Tipton, Beasley Chiropractic, Brad Carlisle at State Farm, Bright Hill Baptist Church, Town of Gilt Edge, Clayton Bank, Debbie Baskin, Edward Jones, Las Margaritas, Lauderdale County Bank, Neola Farms, Dr. Roger Gainer, Sloan Properties, St. Matthews Episcopal Church, T.D.

Thanks to kind support from many Dear editor, Words cannot express the many thanks to the people of Covington when we became homeless. Especially thanks to PCS, Junior Auxiliary, Crestview teachers and staff and Christian fellowship.

Robert Gilliam and family, Covington Political Perspective Dear editor, I might as well be blunt and brief. With Obama, Reid, and Pelosi's healthcare rammed down our throats, bank bailouts at tax payers' expenses, government takeover of the auto industry, 9.6 percent unemployment rate, 48 million families are living below the poverty level, and more people are on food stamps than at any other time of the programs existence, and a $12.4 trillion deficit. If jobs are available, our children and grandchildren can work really long and hard to pay it all off someday. For these national elections, any person that votes the democratic ticket has got to be as dumb as a box of rocks. Paul Pfeifer, Drummonds

State offers reminder of the Internet’s risks Nashville, TN – Technology tends to make life more convenient. We are online at home, school and work – using laptops, desktop computers and mobile devices to connect to the Internet. Even when we are not connected, the Internet supports our financial transactions, transportation systems, power grids, emergency response systems and communication. Products and services are a click away. Unfortunately, the same can be said for hackers and identity thieves. October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month. Consumers must be employ the latest in security technology and the same intuition they use in the “offline” world. “Cyber criminals are opportunistic,” says Consumer Affairs Director Mary Clement. “They seek out vulnerabilities on computers to send spam and phishing e-mails, or try to trick consumers into providing information that allows them to wipe out bank accounts and steal identities.” The Division of Consumer Affairs offers the following tips: • Keep your anti-virus, anti-spyware and firewalls current. Your security settings and software are critical to keeping computer hackers from gaining

access to your computer. • Don’t save personal information including resumes or financial records on your hard drive. Save them to a disk or thumb drive. Ask yourself what a hacker could find out about you if they accessed your stored documents. • Use passwords or answers to security questions that only you would know. A little research on the Internet can help thieves find the answers to common security questions such as your mother’s maiden name. Make up an answer that only you would know. • Know whom you’re dealing with. Don’t click on links that are listed in an email to you. Use the web addresses and contact information that you normally would. Thieves often send fraudulent emails known as “spam” in an attempt to gain your personal information. • Be cautious shopping online. Fraudulent sites do exist for the simple purpose of collecting your information. Make sure you can physically locate the business if you experience a problem and that they have a secure website

A Note of Thanks From The Family Of:

Joseph Lynn Lance October 13, 1980 - September 26, 2010

Dear Family, Friends, and Community: Your prayers, visits, phone calls, meals, and cards have brought us comfort and strength during our loss. The gift we appreciate the most is your Love. God’s word tells us that one of the greatest commandments is to “Love your neighbor as yourself”. An outpouring of Love has been shown to us. We feel blessed beyond measure. Thank you doesn’t seem to be enough, however, we do say “Thank you”. John 13:34

In Our Hearts We thought of you with love today, But that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday, And the days before that, too. In our mind we always knew This time would come to pass. But knowing it and living it, Has come and gone so fast. We think of you in silence, We often speak your name. Now all we have is memories, and your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake, With which we’ll never part. God has you in His Keeping. We have you in our Heart.

We would like to thank each and every one for your prayers, flowers, and donations. It has meant so much during our time of grief.

From the family of

Military Matters October 04, 2010(FHTNC)--Navy Seaman Recruit Andrew L. Tubbs, son of Norma G. and Johnny W. Tubbs of Atoka, Tenn., recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill. During the eight-week program, Tubbs completed a variety of training which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness. The capstone event of boot camp is "Battle Stations". This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. "Battle Stations" is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment. Its distinctly ''Navy'' flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a Sailor. Tubbs is a 2009 graduate of Brighton High School of Brighton, Tenn.

Crushing Juliet lands record deal By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like the planets were aligned,â&#x20AC;? said bass player Lonnie Hammer when asked how his band Crushing Juliet has been so successful so quickly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost too good to be true.â&#x20AC;? The Drummonds native formed the band during July 2009 with fellow founding members, singer Justin McKee, and guitarist Steve Hatmaker. On Sept. 14, their debut album, Broken Cadillac, hit stores through Sunset Records. But it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long for the musicians to realize the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential even during their first attempt at playing music together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I met Justin and Steve through a friend of mine who was in their band at the time,â&#x20AC;? said Hammer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We decided to play music together one Saturday and ended up writing four songs within three hours.â&#x20AC;? That kind of flow is rarely seen among a music industry in which bands find for the spotlight using their music as ammunition. As if the success of the first session werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough, the trio repeated the results the following Saturday in July, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;09. With a newfound repertoire of highenergy, pop-rock songs,

all three musicians began thinking toward recording an album. Their second guitarist Nathan Evans was forced to take a hiatus from the band due to school-related obligations. Not be discouraged by any means, the remaining three wrote, recorded and co-produced their music from the fall of 2009 to the spring of 2010. Having been short a permanent bass player, they called upon friends to fill in for the bass tracks. Hammer said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;All we were focused on was writing amazing songs. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to muddy up the waters by looking for a bassist.â&#x20AC;? After the album was cut, the band found bassist Alan Doty and returned to second guitarist Nathan Evans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just felt comfortable with Alan,â&#x20AC;? said McKee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has a great personality and a drive like ours. He is a good fit.â&#x20AC;? Hatmaker solidified the second guitaristâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nate is a great musician and friend of mine; he knows the dynamics in the music we are looking for,â&#x20AC;? Broken Cadillac makes a comment on the pop music scene today as a straight-up, talent-driven, well-thought-out approach to radio listeners throughout western Ten-

nessee. While it can be easy to recognize past pop influences in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music, Crushing Julietâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s album is much more than your everyday rock band. Hatmakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soaring, catchy guitar riffs accent Hammerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foundational backbeat. On top of this solid pyramid of rock music, McKeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legit vocal work weaves a tapestry of emotionally driven lyricism. These ingredients are key to answering the question, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is missing from todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pop music?â&#x20AC;? Broken Cadillac serves as Crushing Julietâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brazen reply.

Hi everyone, One would never guess we are in the fall period of the year with temperatures in the 90â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not complaining, but I am sort of ready for some cooler weather. I have changed around some of the summer clothes to fall and winter. Thank goodness I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remove all the short sleeve shirts and blouses. One thing I can honestly complain about is the way all these girls and â&#x20AC;&#x153;womenâ&#x20AC;? are wearing these torn and ripped jeans. This week I saw and older woman, probably my age (which is by no means young when you start your social security check) who was wearing these torn jeans and practically showing everything. To top that, she was wearing the highest of high heels and, of course, white hair. I immediately felt sorry for her. Oh well, life goes on, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

Burlison Eddie Kellum

Hello from Burlison. I took a couple of days off from work last week to get some painting done on my house that I had been putting off for a long time. I found out that a 53-year-old body does not bend like it use to. My sore places have sore places and I was so tired that I couldn’t rest at night. With that said everything usually works out for the good because I left Saturday to go to our cabin at Pickwick and on the way I stopped by to see Joe Boyd and his wife Stephanie. We had a good visit. Joe and I worked together for more years than either of us cares to mention and I had not seen him for a while prior to our visit on Saturday. I was watching television the other day and ran across an interesting program about a hydrogen bomb, which is a nuclear weapon that was dropped off the coast of Savannah, Ga. On Feb. 5, 1958, a B-47 carrying a bomb known as a Mark 15 weapon collided with a fighter jet. The B-47 was damaged and the captain was scared that the device might detonate upon landing so he

Kathy Keiter • 476-7014 Hello everyone! WOW! What a wonderful turnout we had at our fall fundraiser! Thank you so much every single last one of you that came and supported us. I just cannot believe all of you are so very committed to us, or maybe it was the GREAT fish and hushpuppies that the First Baptist men cooked up for us, or maybe it was the absolutely AWESOME music that Victory Sounds (Joe, Amy, Jeff and Becky) gave us or New Spirit (Mr. Reese & Ms. Jimmie Kaye Corder and Mode Jones) blessed us with, or it could have been Two or Three for Thee…WOW what was that? Alan Guess, Walter Blalack and Mode Jones did a trio. Look out Jerry, you missed it! That was great guys! As always, we love to hear your solos Alan and Walter! And then, there was Hollie Guess Yarbro and her Dad Alan singing together. Look out Brian, you might be losing your new bride to the "road" with Dad. Ha! Ha! Seriously though, it was just a perfect night to eat and worship and fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ! The weather was super great. Thank you Lord! And thanks to all you wonderfully talented gospel singers who lead us in worship! You’re all the BEST! I’m so excited about how good the whole night went, just in case you can’t tell, and then I drove home four of my craziest funny ladies. We laughed so hard all the way home! We talked about how we might have come across like we were

And we must sympathize with the families of the following: Carlton Bryan, Edna Burcham, Plummer Wilson and many others.

dropped it over the mouth of the Savannah River near Tybee Island. It’s hard to imagine how the bomb was dropped from 7,600 ft. and did not explode but that’s what happened. The military conducted a 10-week search off the coast of Savannah but was pulled off the search when another hydrogen bomb was accidentally dropped near Florence, S.C. A TNT explosive trigger detonated on impact, but the actual nuclear device did not explode and because of the detonation of the trigger, the military cancelled the search for the bomb dropped off the coast of Georgia and were ordered to conduct a cleanup operation for the bomb dropped in South Carolina. They never returned to Tybee Island and to this day the nuclear bomb dropped there is still undiscovered. The military says that if left alone, the hydrogen bomb poses no threat and that it would take five years to locate and retrieve this device. Also it was estimated the cost would be $23 million. I know that’s a lot of time to invest and more money than most of us will ever see in our lifetime but there’s something else to consider. This weapon, the Mark 15, contains 400 pounds of convention-

drinking, but of course we were not, we were just having the best time ever! Ms. Vivian McLennan, oh my goodness, all you Brighton school folks that were fortunate enough to have her as a teacher, you have no idea how funny she is! Then there was poor Ms. Beanie Beanblossom who actually was not feeling well at the end but the trip home made her perk up a little. Then Ms. Madelyn Parham, what a hoot she is and then there’s dear Ms. Hazel Greganti, she is such a barrel of laughs! I’ll tell you, I was having a hard time keeping my car on the road we were laughing so hard! Oh my how good our God is! Mr. Jimmy Jones, Ms. Jane Sherrod, Ms. Tricky Hoffman, Mr. Kenny Hughey, Ms. Louise Gupton and Mr. Charles Turnage all went with us as well! We had a wonderful time! I’m so glad so many of the residents could go! They may have had just a bit more excitement than they are used to having, but they were troopers! They all seemed to enjoy themselves as we all did! Thank you First Baptist Church Men’s Group, for bringing some excitement into their lives, y'all are the best! Please be in prayer for two of our residents, Ms. Polly White and Mr. Max Gibbs are in the hospital. Hopefully they will be out by the time you read this! This past Monday was Mr. Max’s birthday, happy birthday Mr. Max, we love you so much! Hope you didn’t have to stay in the hospital for your birthday! We’re also excited for the possibility of having two more residents joining us here at

al high explosives and highly enriched uranium. It is 100 times more powerful than the one dropped on Hiroshima. So you ask yourself what does all this have to do with Burlison. If the bomb exploded all of us in this little town would be exposed to radiation fall-out at the very least. I don’t know about you but I feel sure that our government should give this mission the highest priority, to find and make safe this device, no matter the cost or time. I can’t imagine them just leaving this bomb there FOR 52 YEARS and hoping that no one ever finds it or messes with it. Oh wait. Maybe our government should create a committee who will study this situation for the next 52 years. Remember early voting has already started, lets all be sure to turn out for the November election this year and make our voices heard. If you have any information you would like included in future articles you can call 901-476-2683 or email me at kellumeddie@yahoo.com. Thanks for reading and have a good week. Eddie Kellum

Country music has a new face By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com “At last, I can say I did it,” said up-and-coming country musician Jessica Cannon, a native of Covington. Finally Cannon, who goes by J.C., is pleased to announce that her album, I'm Just Me, will be released on Tuesday, Oct. 19. J.C. sings and writes all five tracks on the EP. While the music itself is primarily country blended with a soulful twist, the styles vary and delve into the musical styles of rock and pop. “Each song is about something different,” said J.C. “But they're all about real-life experiences that everyone can relate to.” At the young age of 12, J.C. fell in love with singing and realized that she wanted to pursue the calling. By the time she was 16, her brother had introduced her to country music. From then on, she was immediately drawn to its form and content not only because of its prominence as a music form but also due to its intimacy and connection formed with her. Additionally, the fact that African-American women were absent from the country music scene

Jessica Cannon

intrigued the musician rather than cause her to shy away. “I loved how I could relate to a lot of the themes in country songs,” said J.C. “I think and hope that the same can be said of my songs.” Six years ago, as she developed her singing over the next few years, she set her sights on record-

ing newly written material in 2004 upon finishing her undergraduate degree. After moving to Nashville, she entered the recording studio but the atmosphere wasn't quite right. As a result, it was back to school she went to attain two masters degrees. But she wasn't done with music in the slight-

est. “I still had these songs in me and I had to get them out,” said J.C. Back in the studio, she began to lay her songs down on her own terms. Recording with a live band really brought a new energy to her songs and to her overall drive. The result is explosive. J.C. weaves tiers of sweet-sounding, vocal melodies in songs like “Never Be Your Star” with soulfully personal and emotional statements like the vocals in “Me Time Blues.” Her efforts yield a strong, personal statement of lyrical and musical talent and hard work which are scarce from today's music scene. “When I was put the CD into my stereo for the first time, I just started crying,” said J.C., when asked what her favorite part of the whole experience was. “My second favorite moment was showing it to my friends and family back home. For aspiring musicians, I advise them to be prepared for rejection, but also to be determined to stick with it.” The album can be purchased through J.C.'s website, www.jccountryandsoul.com, or through digstation.com and cdbaby. com.

'Miss Minerva' to play at Ruffin Covington offers many cultural attractions, like the Ruffin Theater, that teach community members, newcomers and visitors about the history of the land. This weekend, go back in time and visit the Covington of old as the Historic Ruffin Theater presents "Miss Minerva and William Green Hill." The story is adapted from the book of the same title, written by Frances Boyd Calhoun, a former Covington schoolteacher. According to the director, Marsha Daniel, the story is a predecessor to "The Little Rascals." â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a great family comedy,â&#x20AC;? said Daniel. The characters in the play span over a large age range, from the

There is definitely something for everyone in this play. Billy and his sidekick Jerry are constantly finding themselves in unusual situations as Billy tries to balance being good for Miss Minerva. However, all the while he keeps the mischievousness that

is his true nature. Daniel is very proud of her cast and their hard work and dedication especially in the short amount of time allotted to make this production happen. "They have done all they could to stick to the intentions of the original book," said Daniel. Not only has this cast been practicing lines and stage blocking, they also helped with painting the scenes. Debbie Case, the producer, encourages everyone to come and enjoy this local tribute to the older Covington some of us once knew. Showtimes are Thursday, Oct. 14-16 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 17 at 2 p.m. For more information, visit www.RuffinTheater.org.

NASHVILLE – October is Fire Prevention Month, and the State Fire Marshal’s Office is reminding Tennesseans to regularly check their homes for hazards that could lead to fires. “Tennessee occupies an undesirable ranking in the country for fire deaths. Falling asleep while smoking in bed or in a comfortable chair remains a significant cause of fire deaths in Tennessee,” says Department of Commerce and Insurance Commissioner and State Fire Marshal Leslie A. Newman. Tennessee residents should avoid other hazardous practices: • keeping space heaters too close to bedding or drapes, • burning candles or incense near flammable materials, • using frayed cables, extension cords or holiday lighting sets, overloading wall outlets and surge protectors, and • improperly storing or disposing of chemicals.

Chargers cage the Haywood Tomcats By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader

With members of the classes of 1970, ‘80 and ‘90 looking on, the Charger defense set the table for the offense and served up Haywood Tomcat for a Region seven appetizer, entrée and dessert last Friday. CHS had a 34-7 romp and improved to 5-3 (3-1) and solidified their chances for the play-offs. Facing a Haywood squad that was a big and fast as those of the past, CHS served notice early that they were there to play. Collier Robinson intercepted a Quan Robinson pass on the third play of the game and returned it to the Tomcat 13-yard line. The Charger offense appeared stalled but went on fourth down from the 14 and Carlos Williams somehow picked his way through defenders to the end zone and a 6-0 CHS lead at the 7:32 mark. Maredrecus Dyson’s point-after-attempt was blocked ending a streak of five consecutive made PATs. He made his next four chances on the night. Haywood took the ensuing kick-off and gave notice that they were here to play as well. The Tomcats took just three minutes to march 71 yards for a touchdown with fullback Alan Henley negotiating the final yard with 4:28 remaining in the first quarter. The PAT was wide left. Haywood would not see pay dirt again. The Chargers had some razzle-dazzle up their sleeves. Carlos Williams took the kick-off at the CHS 21 and gathered in a huddle with three other potential receivers. The four broke in different directions. Haywood chose the wrong man as Williams streaked 79 yards to the end zone for a Charger score and a 13-7 lead that would not be matched or overcome. Haywood went three and out and the quarter ended with CHS on the march at the Haywood 14. Collier Robinson set the Chargers up with a run to the Tomcat one and Terrance Pierson finished it off with the final yard for a 20-7 CHS lead with 10:30 left in the half.

CHS held Haywood on the next possession forcing a punt. The defense remained on the field instead of the punt team and managed to block Seth Birdsong’s kick. Jadarius temple scooped up the loose ball and rumbled 40 yards for the touchdown that really broke Haywood’s back. With the PAT,

the Chargers were up 27-6 with 6:14 remaining. “The defense and special teams created opportunities for the offense as well as scoring. For the first game this year, all three phases worked together (offense, defense, special teams),” said Coach Wheeler. “We’ve been preaching it all year and it finally paid off.” The Covington defense forced another three and out on Haywood’s next possession and taking over at their own 45-yard line set sail on a seven-play, 55-yard scoring drive that culminated in a four-yard run by Terrence Pierson for his second touchdown of the game. The final score was set up by a 17-yard completion from Britt Dunn to Pierson. Dunn was three for three in the game, all to Pierson for 75 yards. The final touchdown made it 34-6. Haywood got another shot but Martavian Adams ended a Tomcat threat with an interception inside the Charger 10-yard line. There was no scoring in the second half. Williams returned the opening kick-off to the Haywood 30-yard line. He had 178 all-purpose yards in the game (48 rushing, 130 return). But it was a no go and the ball went over on downs. “Haywood spent the second half doing what we thought they’d do in the first,” said Wheeler. “Running it. That was fine with us. We stopped it. We stopped one drive with a fumble recovery by James Fields. They ran clock. We played a lot of players and kept from getting anyone hurt. The only thing we didn’t accomplish in the second half was one good solid drive. I wanted that, but we didn’t get it done.” The Chargers have a week off before traveling to Milan to play the always tough Bulldogs on Oct. 22 at 7 p.m. “Milan is 6-1 (2-1),” Wheeler said. “They are a solid football team. They don’t make a lot of mistakes. We’ll have to play well to beat them. This break comes at a good time. We get a chance to heal but we have to keep momentum going. We had a really good film session today and two good hours of practice. Things are good right now.”

Brighton takes care of Cobras quickly at homecoming By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com Brighton put the pedal to the floor early Friday night for homecoming, and visiting Carver never really had a chance. Antonio Dickerson ran for two scores and Danny Potter threw for two in the first quarter as Brighton raced to an early four-touchdown lead and cruised to a 44-0 non-league win. Most of the Brighton first-stringers were out of the game before halftime. “I thought we played a really good game,” said Brighton head coach Will Wolfe, whose team moved to 7-1 on the season. “I was proud of the way they were able keep their focus with it being homecoming week.” A 27-yard Dickerson run gave Brighton a 7-0 lead. Potter hit Ricky Foster on a 60-yard touchdown pass moments later. Rujon Glass hauled in a 57-yard touchdown pass later in the quarter before Dickerson scored again, this time on a 3-yard run. In the second quarter, Potter, who completed 8 of 10 passes for 225 yards, connected with Artez Harris for an

8-yard score and Foster (3 catches, 89 yards) on a 5-yard touchdown. Carver (0-7) was held to just 21 total yards in the game. The competition figures to get much tougher over the final three weeks of the regular season. Brighton will host Hardin County on Friday before taking on Dyer County on Oct. 29 in the regular season finale. Hardin County and Dyer County, like Brighton, each have one loss in district play. Jackson North Side appears to be on track to win the district title, meaning the final automatic playoff spot will likely go to Brighton, Dyer County or Hardin County. If Brighton wins both of its final two games, they will qualify for the playoffs and host a first round game. “The whole season comes down to these two right here,” Wolfe said. There will be some wildcard berths awarded, but Wolfe wants his team to take care of business in the upcoming games. “With the wildcard you never know,” Wolfe said. “We definitely want to host a playoff game. Here it is. It’s money time.”

The Tipton County Chiefs football players and cheerleaders celebrated their homecoming Saturday, Oct. 9 at the Poplar Park in Munford. The Chiefs football junior division took the field against the unbeaten and high scoring Whitehaven Raiders for some non-conference action. The first quarter set the pace for the game after both teams had several series of penalties and turnovers with the score at zero. During the second quarter, the Raiders moved the ball well down field, but then TJ Kluttz intercepted a pass and returned it for 62 yards. This would set up the Chiefs touchdown to lead the game 6-0. Still in the second quarter, the Raiders answered back with a deep pass that went for a touchdown. Score at halftime had the Raiders leading the Chiefs 7-6. Starting the third quarter, the Raiders came out driving the ball. They went on fourth and eight when Chiefs Corey Simmons, Josh Millican and Demetrius Fisson stopped them cold. The Chiefs

took over on downs. Will Hankins then took the ball down the sideline for 15 yards and was hit late going out of bounds costing the Raiders 15 more yards and putting the ball on the 12 yard line. After moving the ball down to the two yard line, the Chiefs fumbled the ball and the Raiders picked it up for a long return that lead to their next touchdown. The Raiders lead the Chiefs 13-6 to end the quarter. In the fourth quarter, both defensive teams played with toughness and caused the game to end with the Raiders on top, 13-6. Chiefs top offensive players: Will Hankins rushed six times for 51 yards and Aaron Alston rushed 12 times for 31 yards and a touchdown. Defensive players: Aaron Alston and Demetruis Fisson had five tackles a piece, Marcus Webb with four, Corey Simmons and Tyler Cody both were credited for 2.5 tackles each.

The third annual Dustin Maxwell Benefit Golf Scramble and Silent Auction will be held next Thursday, Oct. 21 at the Miramichi Golf Course in Millington. On July 20, 2008, Dustin Maxwell, then 24, of Atoka and three of his friends were fishing on the Hatchie River. As they were heading back toward the boat ramp, Dustin was ejected from their 70 horsepower craft into the River. Dustin became entangled in the propeller, sustaining critical injuries that resulted in the amputation of both of his arms. As he has adjusted to life as an amputee, he still has major continuing medical, surgical and rehabilitation expenses. Many people have come together as a community to help Dustin regain his 26 year old life back, moreover his independence,

by assisting in funding prosthesis for him and helping with medical bills. The benefit will be held from noon-7 p.m. at the new golf course, owned by musician Justin Timberlake. There are four person teams with a cost of $700 per team. There will also be a silent auction and prize give away with items ranging from plasma televisions to free packages to local courses for some rounds of golf. There is room for 30 teams and Maxwell himself said there is plenty of room for new participants. “There are still plenty of spots open and it will definitely be fun,” said Maxwell. “It will also be great for people to see the new Miramachi golf course. It is really something to see.” People can sign up to participate by going to www.driving4dustin. com, or emailing driving4dustin@ gmail.com, or calling 634-7201.

Wildlife Chatter: Vote ‘yes’ on amendment

First of all thanks for all the phone calls and messages, they sure are picking up nicely from opening day and opening weekend. In last week’s Leader on page B7 in the bottom left hand corner of the page there was a two column by nine inch notice outlined and titled Tipton County Election Notice. The notice read in part to notify Tennessee voters that there was a Tennessee State Election on Nov. 2 and voters will, also, be asked to vote Yes or No for this Constitutional Amendment. The Constitutional Amendment is started by a Senate Joint Resolution No. 30 to amend Article XI Section 13 of the Constitution of the State of Tennessee, relative to the right to hunt, fish, and harvest game. What does all this ‘political correctness’

mean to us. It means if you wet a hook, rack a slide, sight in rifles, pistols or shotguns, feed and nurse rabbit, quail, coon, and/or bird dogs, use and/or own a boat motor and trailer, buy a hunting or fishing license, you will need to vote “YES” to that amendment on Nov. 2, and ask everybody else that you know or come into contact to vote “YES.” If some voters say, “I do not hunt or fish so this amendment does not affect me.” This is a vote that will affect not only him or her and us, here and now, but our future generations. I called the election

office and talked with Jeff Morris, Election Administrator, I asked Jeff how many votes would it take for us to win. Jeff called Nashville and here is your answer: We have to have 50 percent of the votes in the Governor’s election (take all the votes in the Governor’s election and divide by two and then add one vote) a simple majority based on the number of votes cast in the Governor’s election. Thanks to Jeff, we, now, have a definite number. This is one very important election, ask every one you see to vote and vote yes. If all of us ask three people to vote “yes” and they ask

fied to have dental work done. Because of the late hour, Fountain and his family did not have the opportunity to hear many more of the stories he had to tell. But they hope to be able to hear them in the future when he visits again. Uncle Murray only touched the surface that night of what he had seen and what he had done. Although these stories are unique first hand accounts, they are not the only stories out there yet to be told. Everyone knows family and friends who have lived 78 or 90 years and have been witness to what most of us only read about. At some point these stories will be gone if no one simply doesn’t ask them to be told. History is not just words in a book, it is a recounting of those who witnessed it and took the time to record it. Books give us a wealth of information about the big events of history, but if you want a brief glimpse of history, it can be as simple as asking someone who has been around for a while and lived it. The Fountains are looking forward look forward to Maury’s next visit.

History is much more exciting when told by those who were there. Recently, Bob Fountain had the privilege of hearing some of these accounts from a man who has had 95 years of memories he wished to share. Maury E. Wortham was born in 1915 in Atoka. He attended Erskine College in South Carolina and then joined the Navy during World War II and served as a medical assistant on a submarine. After the war, Maury completed dental school and returned to the navy as a dentist and after 30 years of service, retired with the rank of captain. Not one to retire, he began a new career as a dentist at Soledad Prison in California where some of the most notorious and brutal criminals reside. After 10 years at Soledad, Wortham retired again. Now he is truly enjoying retirement and travels back to Tipton County occasionally to see family and friends. Sitting around the table after an enjoyable dinner, Wortham shared some of the events he witnessed during his life. During his time on the Haddo, a diesel driven WWII submarine, he was part of several missions that resulted in the sinking of many enemy ships. Two notable events, however, were his recounting of how a sailor was accidently left topside when they were diving, home they retrieved him and how he was able to save his life. The other was being next to the battleship Missouri during the signing of the surrender by the Japanese. He told a story about his time at Soledad, when he was scheduled to do some dental work on a well-known prisoner and how this killer was terri-

The National Transportation Safety Board states that pipelines provide the highest level of public safety as compared to other transportation modes. Every day natural gas pipelines safely carry one of the world’s most reliable, efficient and environmentally friendly fuels to businesses, homes and neighborhoods like yours, Preventing pipeline emergencies is important to Mason gas. We are part of this community and we’re committed to delivering natural gas safely to our neighbors. As good neighbors do, you can help, here’s how. Though Natural gas pipeline incidents are rare, you should know these signs. Look. Blowing dirt, bubbling water, dry spots in moist areas or dead plants surrounded by green plants may indicate a natural gas leak. Listen. If you hear a hissing sound near a gas appliance or pipe it may be natural gas leaking. Smell. Be aware of the distinctive, rotten egg-like smell of natural gas. You should take action anytime you detect even a small amount of this odor.

Don’t break the law- call before you dig Did you know that excavation work, including digging in the yard and plowing, is the most common cause of natural gas pipeline damage. Before beginning excavation of any kind, state law requires that you call Tennessee One Call at 811 so all utility lines can be clearly marked by professionals prior to any digging. This is a free call so don’t break the law.

The summer drought has forced some producers to feed hay during Sept. and Oct. with hay inventories already being low. Stretching a low hay supply could be the difference between making or losing money this winter in the cattle business. Dr. Gary Bates, Professor of Plant Sciences with The University of Tennessee, suggests taking a couple of management steps to make your hay stocks last longer. (1)Use proper hay storage. If hay

supplies are low, you cannot afford to have hasation may occur on the underside of the tarp, causing rot on the top bales. (2)Decrease hay feed losses. Large amounts of hay are lost each winter because cows reject and trample hay in the feeding area. Use some sort of feeding method that will limit the amount of hay cows and calves can waste during feeding.

Local Co-op members attend Farm Fest 2010 (Sept. 24, 2010, LaVergne, TN) — Members of Tipton Farmers Co-op were among more than 750 farmers, Co-op managers and employees, vendors, and guests who attended Farm Fest 2010 Aug. 10-11 at the headquarters of Tennessee Farmers Cooperative (TFC) in LaVergne. TFC is a farm supply organization owned by Tipton and 56 other Co-ops across Tennessee. Farm Fest 2010 was the follow-up to the first highly successful event held at TFC’s headquarters in 2008. Both days gave the farmers from Tipton Farmers Co-op, which has locations in Covington and Halls, a chance to see the assets they own as cooperative members and learn more about Co-op products, equipment, and the latest agricultural practices. “Farm Fest is a great venue to give our owners a chance to see a portion of their company,” said TFC Chief Executive Officer Bart Krisle. “It allows our

member cooperatives to invest time in their customers and explain the benefits of the Co-op system beyond their individual stores. As Co-op employees, we are proud of the system we serve, and Farm Fest is a way for us to share that pride with our members.” Although some Farm Fest attendees had visited TFC’s 147-acre LaVergne campus before, this was the first opportunity for many to tour the state-of-theart facilities and learn about the feed and hardware products manufactured on site. The Farm Fest schedule included tours of TFC’s feed mill, gate plant, and distribution center along with equipment demonstrations on the grounds. Nearly 100 vendors participated in an accompanying trade show, and educational sessions were taught by Co-op and industry experts

on topics such as pastures, adjuvants, livestock nutrition, precision agriculture, commodity markets, and sprayer nozzles and applications. “It gave our farmers a chance to see what is going on at TFC and where their products come from,” said Joey Caldwell, general manager of Tipton Farmers Co-op. “The feedback from everyone has been good. I think this will do nothing but make our Co-op stronger.”
