Residents in disbelief over theft charges By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com MASON – On Nov. 6, a city clerk was arrested for stealing from the city and residents in the area remain in disbelief over the charges. Following an investigation by the state Comptroller’s Division of Municipal Audit, 43-year-old Arnita Mitchell of Mason was indicted by the Tipton County Grand Jury on charges she stole nearly $100,000 from the city during a two-and-a-half year period.
“I wouldn’t say it’s impossible, but it’s hard for me to believe,” Pastor Tommie Terry of Mason’s Church of Another Chance said. “It’s unbelievable.” Of a dozen people asked last week, none believed the state’s allegations against Mitchell, including two city council members. Only Terry would go on record in Mitchell’s defense, however. “I’ve known her all her life and I know her whole entire family,” said Terry. “They’re God-fearing individu-
als and they’re church-goers. I don’t think she took that much if she took any at all.” Terry said he knew Mitchell lost her job with the city and rumors had been swirling around town about the state’s allegations. But Mitchell won’t talk about it, Terry said. “I’d heard she’d lost her job and everything,” he said. “She won’t talk about it, just asked me to continue pray for her.” The state alleges between Jan. 1, 2007 and June 30, 2009, Mitchell took more
than $96,000 worth of taxpayer money for her personal use. Auditors also found that she had received more than $1,000 worth of water and gas services from the town for herself and another person without paying. Additionally, auditors believe Mitchell falsified written and electronic town records to cover her tracks. Following the investigation, Mitchell was indicted on the following charges: theft over $60,000; forgery over $60,000; computer fraud over $60,000; theft of SEE CHARGES, PAGE A3
Proficient, advanced and targeted: How Tipton County schools fared By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com
T
hough revered last year for its outstanding scores, this year Brighton Middle School was the only Tipton County school placed on the target list. Though the school met adequate yearly progress targets in all other areas, only half of students with disabilities met federal benchmarks in math. Forty-eight percent of students with disabilities tested at proficient and advanced levels, coming 20 percent short of the state target for students in this demographic. Overall, however, BMS students exceeded the state target in math with 93 percent of all students scoring in the proficient and advanced levels. The state target overall is 91 percent. In reading/language, the school exceeded federal benchmarks with 96 percent of all students scoring in the proficient and advanced levels. In terms of achievement, the school scored As in math, science and eighth grade Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) writing and Bs in reading and social studies. Brighton Middle School has 1,019 students, 41.4 percent of whom are economically disadvantaged. The attendance rate is 95.3 and promotion rate is 97.6. Following is a break-down of how other Tipton County schools scored. Atoka Elementary With 816 students, Atoka Elementary’s population is nearly evenly split between males and females – 50.1 percent are boys and 49.9 percent are girls. Thirty-five percent of students are economically disadvantaged. In terms of adequate yearly progress (AYP), 97 percent of students tested at proficient and advanced in math and reading/language plus writing (statewide target was 91 percent for each subject). The attendance rate was 95.6, 2.6 percent higher than the state’s 93 per-
cent target. The promotion rate was 98.8 percent, higher than the state’s 97 percent target. There were no reports on academic achievement and value-added progress for Atoka Elementary. Austin Peay Elementary Overall, Austin Peay Elementary met federal benchmarks though math TCAP scores didn’t meet state targets. Eighty-nine percent of all students tested at the proficient and advanced levels, coming in two percent below the 91 percent state target. Reading/language plus writing scores came in at 91 percent, the same as the state’s target percentage. These scores earned the school a C in math and Bs in reading/language, social studies and science. Fifth grade TCAP writing scores came in at 4.2 percent, .1 percent above the state target. Austin Peay had 575 students enrolled in 2009 and a 95.5 percent attendance rate; 54.3 percent of students are economically disadvantaged. Brighton Elementary With above-target math and reading/ language scores, Brighton Elementary met and exceeded federal benchmarks for adequate yearly progress. Math TCAP scores showed 93 percent of students at Brighton Elementary are proficient and advanced and reading/language scores show 92 percent proficient and advanced rate. The school earned a C in math and Bs in reading/language, social studies and science. Fifth grade TCAP writing scores met the state target, resulting in the school earning an A. Brighton Elementary has 890 students; 46.6 are female and 53.5 are male. Fifty-one percent of students enrolled are economically disadvantaged. The average attendance rate is 95.7 percent and the promotion rate is 97.8 percent. SEE GRADES, PAGE A3

Arrest made in Covington assault case By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com COVINGTON – Covington police have announced an arrest connected to the October assault and robbery of an elderly man. Police say 93-year-old Lonnie Craig Jr. was attacked inside his Simonton Street home on Oct. 9 by a woman who later stole his wallet. Craig said the woman hit him in the head with a cast iron skillet from behind, knocking him down next to his kitchen table. When she arrived, he’d just finished preparing dinner and was sitting down to eat. Instead, he was now on the kitchen floor, bleeding. “I didn’t know anything until split seconds later – I think I went out,” he said in an interview last month. Craig wasn’t sure how many times he was hit with the skillet. “She must have thought I was fighting back or something.” And though he’s 93 years old and was bleeding profusely from several
lacerations to his head, Craig stood up, walked to the living room and called 911. He spent the night in the hospital, but has been home recovering since the incident. Just days after the attack, detectives were searching for two women they believed to be involved in the attack on Craig. The women – Dominique Reid and Kurita Smith – were later located and questioned. They are no longer persons of interest in the case. Another suspect emerged during the investigation, though. Surveillance video captured footage of a woman using Craig’s cards at a local ATM and she became the person police believed was responsible. “We put her name out on the street and she ended up turning herself in,” said Det. Larry McGarity. “She alleged she bought the card from someone else, thoughlk.” Sandra Michelle Douglas, 36, of 811 Barlow Street in Covington, was arrested and charged with illegal possession and use of a credit card. She has not SEE ARREST, PAGE A3

Photographer Phil Ramsey, DSCC President Dr. Karen Bowyer and Representative Jimmy Naifeh
Naifeh honored with portrait at DSCC By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com State Representative and Speaker Emeritus Jimmy Naifeh was honored on Thursday, Nov. 19 at Dyersburg State Community College with a reception held in his honor and the unveiling of a portrait of his likeness. The 24x36 portrait painting will hang in the Jimmy Naifeh building of the Covington campus. The regal representation was created by Phil Ramsey, owner of Phil Ramsey Photography in Covington, as a way of recording Tipton County’s history so future generations will understand it.

“Our culture quickly forgets our history,” Ramsey said. “In 75 years, no one will know who Phil Ramsey is. People will drive by Dyersburg State and see the name of the Jimmy Nafieh Center and many will not know who he is, but if they step inside the center they will be able to put a face with the name.” Ramsey, who admitted to not being a Democrat, stated there is nothing political about his motives. “This is not a political thing, it’s a community thing,” assured Ramsey. “No matter what party you are affiliated with, we can all agree that Speaker Nafieh has supported Dyersburg State and made a difference in the lives of the people in our community.”

Eleventh grade TCAP writing scores were 4.3, .2 higher than the state target, earning the school an A. ACT scores did not meet state targets, however.

CHARGES Continued from Page A1 services over $1,000; three counts of E-felony forgery; and three counts of official misconduct. “With that kind of money, you’d think she’d have something to show for it,” said Terry. “Even though she doesn’t drive, wouldn’t she have a car and someone to drive it for her?” State officials said the case against Mitchell should act as a deterrent to anyone who might consider improperly using public money for private gain. “Abuse of taxpayer funds cannot and will not be tolerated. And now, more than ever, public officials must be diligent stewards of tax dollars to ensure they are not only spent wisely, but also safeguarded from greedy hands,” said Dennis Dycus, director of the Division
of Municipal Audit. On Monday morning, more than two weeks after the indictment, mayor David Ward issued a statement in which he said city officials were “shocked” but believed justice would prevail. “I don’t want the citizens of Mason to be discouraged or set back, as I am sure when this goes to trial that justice will be served,” he said. Terry said he would be in court to show support for Mitchell and would be disturbed if she was found guilty. “Times are tight, very tight, especially here,” he said. “But if you’re wrong, you’re wrong.” Mitchell is due back in Tipton County Circuit Court on Monday, Nov. 30. City officials said the matter is still under investigation.
ARREST Continued from Page A1 been charged with the assault, said McGarity. “This is still under investigation and we’re still following up on leads.” A $500 reward has been offered by the Covington Police Department for information which leads to the arrest of the person responsible for assaulting Craig.

OPINION www.covingtonleader.com

Wednesday, November 25, 2009
In Our Opinion Achievement should be applauded
Tipton County Schools have plenty to celebrate with all schools making adequate yearly progress except for Brighton Middle School, which missed the mark for children with disabilities. What this means remains uncertain due to a change in the baseline for AYP in 2009. Still, the fact is that the system is in good standing as a whole. And the fact remains that in many areas, Tipton County scored at or near average in achievement, a feat that speaks well of the district that, according to state data has 54 percent of its students being listed as “economically disadvantaged.” The fact is that economics plays a critical role in education, as study after study has demonstrated that students who come from higher-income homes have, on average, better test scores. Often these homes are homes where parents have a higher education level, where learning tools like encyclopedias or high speed internet are more available and where such common concerns as staying warm and fed don’t weigh on daily life. For Tipton County to have achieved so much with so many obstacles in its path is remarkable. Certainly, work remains to be done and teachers in certain subjects and in certain grade levels where state testing is done will be under pressure to improve upon the county’s scores. But it should go without saying that improvements in testing must come from more than the focus of a few teachers. Accountability is often focused on those teachers whose students take statewide tests, but the truth is that even the best teachers can’t overcome years of neglect on the part of other teachers. How good can a fifth-grader’s test scores be when he or she was not adequately prepared in grades one through four? For example, Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) writing tests are only taken in grades 5, 8 and 11. Improving test scores is, in Tipton County, a district-wide concern and it should be a concern of each and every teacher and administrator in each of Tipton County’s schools. While establishing a comprehensive opinion about 2009 scores remains difficult due to the change in testing standards and assessments, we can say that Tipton County is performing well. We continue to believe that a focus on learning at all levels can give children a better chance of succeeding in school and, ultimately, succeeding in life. Education and prosperity go hand in hand. Tipton County is on the right path and we applaud their efforts.
The same old turkey you didn’t like in August
W
hat Republicans want as we debate the Senate Democrats’ health care plan is very simple. We want to make sure the American people have a chance to read Majority Leader Harry Reid’s bill and know exactly what it costs and exactly how it will affect them. That is not an unreasonable request. Senator Reid’s bill—which he has been writing in secret for the past six weeks—is appropriate for the season: It’s the same turkey you didn’t like in August, and it’s not going to taste any better on Thanksgiving. Not much has changed. The bill still means higher premiums, it still means higher taxes, and it still cuts Medicare. It’s still 2,000 pages, and it still costs more than $2 SEN. LAMAR ALEXANDER trillion when fully implemented — and that doesn’t take into account a quarter-trillion-dollar doctors’ Medicare reimbursement. And it still sends struggling states new Medicaid costs that will force states to raise taxes or damage higher education or both. It still leaves 24 million Americans uninsured. There are also $28 billion in new taxes on employers who have to pay a fine when they don't provide employer-based insurance. Under this bill, the chances are very good you could lose the insurance you have today. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) says about five million Americans will lose their employer-sponsored insurance. It could be a lot more since employers will read this big, complicated bill and say, “I don't want anything to do with that. I would rather pay the fine. I will write a check to the government. Then I will write a letter to all of my employees and say: ‘Congratulations, there is a new government plan, and you are in it.’” You might be asking what that government plan will look like. Well, take the largest one we have, Medicaid (which we call TennCare in Tennessee),

very year about this time we reflect on the things for which we are grateful. This year is no different, and my, do I have a lot of thanks to give. Love for family kind of goes without saying, doesn't it? Growing up there were just the five of us on holidays (my parents, two younger brothers and me), usually. I always missed having the extended family around. I am not big on getting any older, but I love how our family's evolved. My brothers are and I are all adults now, with families of our own. We have a huge family now! Two parents, four kids, three daughters-in-law and nine grandchildren so far. And you know we will continue to grow from here. (No, family, I do not have anything to share. I'm talking about our children's children.) OFF THE WALL Last year at this time we all ECHO DAY came together to say goodbye to my grandmother, but this year we'll all come together in celebration. My other grandmother and her friend will be visiting and, with 21 people, it will be the largest Thanksgiving dinner we've had in Tennessee. Growing up I never thought I would say this, but I am so thankful for my brothers, especially since they have such beautiful children for me to love. I know that we all complain about things in our lives like work and bills, but I'm thankful to have those things. I'm grateful for my job - I simply love it. I'm grateful to be able to complain about the fact that there is always something wrong with the house because I am lucky to have a roof over my head. I'm lucky to have had an out in a bad time in my life; it was a window that God closed so that he could show me the door to being happy. I also have someone in my life who has changed my outlook on many things; I am very thankful for and to him as well. And while I sometimes joke that I am insane and crazy, I am thankful that I am sane enough to realize, enjoy and appreciate all of the blessings that life has to offer. And also, I'm thankful for the spinach dip and Hawaiian rolls my mom will make for dinner. Amen.

TURKEY Continued from Page A4 for low-income Americans. Fifty percent of doctors will not see new patients in that program because of the low government reimbursement rates. Senator Reid’s bill relies on the states to pay for some of Medicaid, which concerns me greatly as your former governor. Our current Democratic governor said earlier versions of this bill would add $1 billion or more to state taxes or spending over the next five years which could require a new state income tax or seriously damage higher education—or both. There is also a new Medicare payroll tax. The money that is raised from that

is not spent on Grandma; it’s not spent on fixing Medicare. It is spent on a new program. So we are going to cut Medicare and tax Medicare and not spend it on Medicare, which is going broke in 2015. We need to start over. We should move step-by-step to reduce to re-earn the trust of the American people and lower health care costs. There’s still time to act on those steps which Republicans have repeatedly proposed: let small businesses pool resources for health insurance; allow purchasing of health insurance across state lines; end junk lawsuits against doctors; eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse; expand health savings accounts; and promote wellness and prevention.

VIEW Continued from Page A4 Meanwhile, I think we’re being robbed. And what’s worse we’re stealing from our children. Our children need and deserve a Thanksgiving. It creates and provides a necessary balance in their hearts and in their minds. It teaches that in this fall season of goodies and games and “gimmies,” just being together is the most important thing of all. It reminds us to reflect upon what we have been blessed with and to say thank you. A chance to say thank you. And given the state of the world, that’s something that definitely doesn’t need to be overlooked.

Being Thankful The Bible commends being thankful. In fact, we are told to prayer with thanksgiving as a part of our praise and communion with the Lord. In this country we have much to be thankful for indeed. Today most of us got out of bed and walked around. Scientists tell us that our minds, ever active, think over ten thousand thoughts every day. To some degree, more or less, we ate a meal that we enjoyed and needed, perhaps more than we needed. If the desire is in our hearts, we can go to the local store and buy something special, like a favorite ice cream or other dessert and enjoy that as well. We are blessed in America! This past week, a family that is relatively new to this country and certainly new to this area, made this statement when asked about being in America, "We came here for freedom. We came to worship Jesus Christ." They are political/ religious refugees from another land where the things that you and I take for granted are non-existent. They were very thankful to be here. Thanksgiving should bubble out of hearts and through our lips. God designed your mouth and

The St. Louis-based financial services firm Edward Jones moved into Covington, Tennessee in 1988, making personalized investment services for individual investors a reality. Lowell D. Friend,an Edward Jones financial advisor in Covington,Tennessee, is proud to announce the office’s 21st anniversary. Friend has been serving the investment needs of this town since , and he knows the firm is providing a valuable service here. “After learning how Edward Jones financial advisors were required to meet members of a community before even being able to open an office, I knew this was the right firm for me,” Friend said. “Personal service for individual investors is a key to the success and longevity of Edward Jones. That’s our basic principle.” The fact that Friend works in the same community in which he lives is unique among financial services firms, most of which do their business by phone. By establishing one-broker offices in rural and suburban communities, however, Edward Jones enables its financial advisors to establish one-on-one business relationships with its investors. “I’ve enjoyed doing business the old-fashioned way - in person, Friend said. “And I am looking forward to many more years of serving the investment needs of my friends, neighbors and business associates.” Edward Jones provides financial services for individual investors in the United States and, through its affiliate, in Canada. Every aspect of the firm’s business, from the types of investment options offered to the location of branch offices, is designed to cater to individual investors in the communities in which they live and work. The firm’s 12,000-plus financial advisors work directly with nearly 7 million clients to understand their personal goals -- from college savings to retirement -- and create long-term investment solutions that emphasize a well-balanced portfolio and a buy-and-hold strategy. Edward Jones embraces the importance of building long-term, face-to-face relationships with clients, helping them to understand and make sense of the investment options available today.

Nursing home celebrate caregivers Nursing homes across the Volunteer State, including Covington Manor Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, Inc. celebrated Nursing Home Caregiver Appreciation Day Friday, Nov. 20. It is a day set aside to celebrate the more than 37,600 nursing home employees who provide care to nursing home patients in Tennessee. These employees, including nurses, certified nursing assistants (CNA), dietitians, therapists, activity directors, social workers, housekeepers, maintenance workers and cooks, work together along with volunteers, to provide the best quality of care for their patients. In addition to providing medical care, these men and women are responsible for caring for the patients’ mental, social, emotional and spiritual needs. In recognition of Nursing Home Caregiver Appreciation Day, Coving-
ton Manor Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, Inc. planned events to celebrate the employees, including a pizza party on Caregiver Appreciation Day. The community was invited to visit the facility and thank the staff for the hard work they do for the patients. “This year’s Nursing Home Caregiver Appreciation Day theme is ‘you are the magic,’ Which truly recognizes all of the magic that goes into providing care to the elderly and disabled,” said Scott Hurst, administrator of the facility. “Working in long-term care is not easy, yet these men and women are always there for their patients, providing 24-hour nursing care to the chronically ill and injured. It is my honor to host a special day of recognition for our caregivers.” For many, working as a caregiver in a nursing home is not just a job, it’s a calling, explained Rosie
Somerville, restorative CNA at Covington Manor Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, Inc. “Even though working in long-term care is challenging, it is great to have a job where you know you are making a difference,” she said. “To me, the magic is knowing that patients are receiving the best care possible and working toward their goals, whether it is to speak after a stroke or return home after an accident. It is a privilege to share those moments with them.” Covington Manor Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, Inc. is a member of the Tennessee Health Care Association, a nonprofit organization whose members include long-term care facilities located throughout the state.

Specialty vintage shop caters to men, women and home
Mitch Wood
By Sherri Onorati sonorati@covingtonleader.com Normally when you find a speciality boutique clothing store in a small town, it caters to women or children. That isn’t the case in Covington anymore. The Hatchie River Emporium & Haberdashery has recently relocated from Somerville to the historic square in Covington. Owner Gene Sneed has been in the clothing business for more than 25 years and specializes in vintage clothing, quality men’s clothing and furs. His business is actually made up of two different shops: one side houses what he calls the Emporium and the other, The Haberdashery. “The Emporium will have women’s vintage clothing, antiques, home decor, collectibles and instruments,” explained Sneed. “The Haberdashery will contain primarily men’s tailored clothing – better quality, soft shoulder with traditional neckwear. It will be distinguished from the vintage area which, depending on the era, could have padded shoulders and lapels of varying widths.” Sneed, originally from the Mid-South area, began his fascination with clothes right out of college. “After college I decided to do something a little more fun,” he said. “I had been collecting vintage clothing for years and had a good selection of neckwear and sport coats for men.” Sneed went to work for Evans Fur, Inc., one of the preeminent retailers of luxurious fur coats and accessories for women in the United States, where he stayed for 25 years. “I started out as a buyer for Goldsmith’s and then moved into their speciality store of better apparel,” said Sneed. “That kind of piqued my interest in the clothing end of it. In order to have more responsibility I started buying for their fur salons and that got me into the fur business.” Working for Evans, Sneed found his niche as a restyler, bringing new life to outdated apparel. Today, some of the updates he does to clothing includes adding fur accents and trims. “I like to recycle anything,” he said. “They would fly me to different stores across the country to update whatever it was they needed. Restyling was my speciality. One summer we went to Greece. That’s where the fur industry basically started, and I was one of 10 who was singled out for outstanding restyling.” Sneed is proud he can offer Tipton County what he feels is a missing fashion component. “It may just be a product of the times or it’s people understanding have changed, he said. “We buy used cars, used furniture and other things used and now they are more comfortable in

buying used clothing. An new Oxford blazer would probably start out at around $1,700. Here, if it’s almost in mint condition, I’m one tenth of that. Suits generally sell for $3,200 and up and again, it’s about 10 percent of that at my store.” Sneed said men will be happy to find such names as Oxford, Hickey Freeman and Hart Schaffner and Marx in his establishment. “These names appeal to a lawyer who wears pinstripes and wingtips,” he explained. “I have a group of young men from the University of Memphis law school who come out to see me. Then on the otherhand, artists and musicians buy the vintage men’s clothing.” Sneed explained although men tend to gravitate to specific types of clothing depending on their profession, women love to wear clothes according to their moods. “Women will buy vintage, as well as contemporary,” remarked Sneed. “I think they understand it’s whatever you feel like. You can never get a lawyer to put on a vintage outfit because they go, ‘oh that’s just old stuff.’” One of the lines Sneed is pleased to carry is from Michael Novarese, a Fayette County native who designed for Barbara Steisand. “Michael Novarese is retired now, but he still designs for Barbara Streisand. His stuff is really good. We have a real nice selection of ladies suits from the 1960s but they are so reminiscent of Chanel suits today.” Sneed’s other vintage clothing also includes several hand-beaded chiffon gowns and gowns from Academy Award designer Helen Rose. “We have one gown which has two layers of silk chiffon and each layer has 16 yards each! It is absolutely incredible. It is also hand-beaded, done in Iran probably in the 1970s. The workmanship is indescribable,” he said. “We have an exceptional gown from Helen Rose. She won two Academy Awards for costume

designs and she did Elizabeth Taylor’s gowns in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and she also did Princess Grace’s wedding dress. I had it on one girl and it looked super on her but she was looking for something to wear to a wedding and she was worried that it might over power the bride.” Sneed also sells various instruments, and has a vendor who demonstrates various guitars and other instruments every Saturday from noon until 3 p.m. Currently in the store is a 1935 Knave grand piano. “It is fully restored and is absolutely beautiful,” said Sneed. “I’m not a musician, but I love wood and I like any kind of music so I have music days on Saturdays. I offer grand pianos and all kinds of small instruments. I have a very nice section of guitars available.” Sneed spent two and a half years in Somerville but said the majority of his clients were from Covington, Brownsville and Jackson. He feels moving into the former law offices of Mike Whitaker was the best move he could have made. “I was really impressed when Mike started talking to me about Covington and why I would want to come,” he said. “After visiting Covington, it made total sense to me. I used to sell my designs in galleries in Chicago, then I thought I would try to develop base for it here in Tennessee. Interestingly enough,
most of my women’s vintage customers were from Brownsville, Jackson and Covington. It seems like there is a younger, more astute mix in Covington in general. There is a better understanding of fashion here that a lot of small communities don’t have. I think it’s going to be exceptional here.” The Hatchie River Emporium & Haberdashery is located at 118-120 East Court Street. Business hours are Tuesday thru Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information call (901) 921-0450 or email genesneed@yahoo.com.

Since women often serve the role of the family caregiver, and also have longer life expectancies than men,1 it’s important to plan ahead for your own future needs. By making long-term care insurance part of your financial plan, you can help: ◊ Protect your assets from the high cost of long-term care ◊ Reduce the burden of care that often falls on family members ◊ Maintain control over where you receive care, including in your home A free copy of “A Woman’s Guide to Long-Term Care Insurance Protection” can be obtained by contacting Trish Williams at 476-7137 or patricia@mcstitt.com 1 U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, National Clearinghouse for Long-Term Care information, September 2008.

A Thanksgiving Story
Dean Hanson, center shows off his plaque for being named the 2009 NAPA regional technician of the year.
Member In The News Dean Hanson, owner of Automotive Pro Tek in Atoka, was named 2009 NAPA/ASE Technician of the Year for the Memphis Region. The region encompasses Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri and Alabama. The award recognizes the most highly skilled, as well as, knowledge-
able and professional automotive technicians in America. Dean was chosen as the best nominee by the panel in the distribution centers. Bryan Bailey, District Manager of NAPA Memphis, says “He was an excellent choice. Dean is one of those guys that you just like doing busi-
ness with. He supports the NAPA program, and he’s got a fantastic shop. It’s absolutely the bestlooking shop I’ve ever seen in my life. Dean actively supports the NAPA brand. We’ve got a good personal relationship with Dean and his wife, Pam - wonderful shop and people to know.”
The Chamber staff extends a heartfelt Thanksgiving wish to everyone. As we pause to consider the many reasons to give thanks, we would like to share a story of thanks from one of our members. Dr. Mitchell Parker of Munford, a general dentist, was recently diagnosed with right renal cell carcinoma. Upon learning that surgery was needed immediately, Dr. Parker’s wife, Pat, contacted Dr. Steve Fergus, President of the Memphis Dental Society, who issued a plea to fellow dentists for assistance. The
overwhelming response resulted in local dentist, Dr. John Turner, volunteering to coordinate the scheduling of dentists for Dr. Parker’s office for a period of six to eight weeks. One of the volunteers, Dr. Jim Sexton, knows firsthand how the dental profession takes care of its own. In the early 1990’s, Dr. Sexton was called to active duty to serve in Desert Storm. Deployed for six months, his practice remained open because of the devoted volunteers who rendered their
assistance to his patients. He was quick to respond to Dr. Parker’s need. Other dentists providing care for Dr. Parker’s patients are Dr. Allan Blanton, Dr. Fred Heros, Dr. Phil Issacman, Dr. Jim Proctor, Dr. Bill Roberts, Dr. Jim Turner, Dr. Peter Wai and Dr. Roy Wrather. Contacted by telephone, Dr. Parker said “I am humbled and eternally grateful for all of those who helped to keep my practice open, and everyone who sent cards and letters. I plan to return to work in December.”

NEW MEMBERS Welcome to our newest members. Go by their places of business and welcome them to the Chamber.
Bub and Mary Cole have worked for many years from this small office.
VIP Reception Held Cole’s Home Solutions in Millington held a VIP reception on Tuesday evening, November 17. Guests from Millington and South Tipton County arrived to tour the wonderful new facility and sample tasty treats. Cole’s has certainly changed from the small store in Drummonds we knew as children. One thing remained the same – Mr. Bub Cole’s of-
H
fice. Instead of a fancy new office, Mr. Bub instructed the designers to leave his office alone. Therefore, the new facility was built around Mr. Bub’s “old” office. Change is great-but some things should remain the same – like good old-fashion customer service. And Mr. Bub still provides that from his small office.

Brighton Middle wrestlers place at Christian Brothers tourney By larrick g. johnson Special to The Leader
The Brighton Middle School wrestling team had another strong showing this weekend with six out eight finishing in the top four in their respective weight classes at the Memphis in Mayhem Tournament at Christian Brother’s University. Putting six in the medal for a second straight week showed Brighton Middle School wrestling is heading in the right direction. “We had seven in the top five last week at the Germantown Preseason. To repeat with six this week, is showing dedication by our wrestlers” said Coach Larrick Johnson. Led this by BMS eigth graders Essex Ramsey (175 lbs.) and Daniel Moore (120 lbs.), the Cardinals went 14-9 in total matches wrestled. Ramsey (1-0)(3-0) and Moore (3-0)(6-2), both went undefeated to take place first place. This is Essex’s second straight title this year,
while Daniel came back from a fourth place finish at Germantown, winning over teammate Anthony Burlett (120 lbs.) in the finals, giving Anthony (2-1) (4-3) a second place finish, up from his 5th place at the Germantown. Eighth graders Travis Malone (3-1) (5-1) and Tyler Hacker, Munford Middle School students who wrestle on the Brighton team, finished first and second at Germantown, and continued to have a strong showing at CBU. Travis (130 lbs.) went 3-1 on the day losing to Court Satterfield of Briarcrest in the final 9-5. Tyler (130 lbs.) had a little tougher outing this week finishing fourth in a tough weight class. Seventh grader Dylan Dean (2-2)(4-2) also of Brighton, rounded out the medals, with his second strong showing. “Dylan won the Germantown tournament and had a tough draw” commented Coach Johnson. After winning the first match Dylan lost a close match to Cole Morgan of Wave Wrestling 6-4 in the semi finals. Dylan bounced back in the consolation

Bantam 55 lbs. weight class and Christian Bridges (98 lbs.) also of Brighton Middle went 1-2 at the tournament.
Jaguars maul Chargers By Steve holt Special to The Leader Folks who know me are aware that I’m disabled. Can’t walk, let alone run. After his team’s 90-62 loss to the Southwind Jaguars last Friday night, Covington head coach Dion Real suggested that a rather improbable team including him and me could have bested his squad’s effort against the talented, hot shooting Jaguars. I guess you can catch his disappointment with the loss. It was severe enough to him that when the gym cleared, the Chargers were back on the court for practice. But for the first period, CHS was outscored by three points in the last three quarters, but oh, my, that first period. Almost every shot that the Jaguars threw up went in and that included five 3-point bombs that were essentially wide open due to deft, pin-point passing. On the reverse, CHS was the victim of four blocked shots in the period and the shots that they did manage to get off would have missed the ocean, as they were wide and wild against a scrappy, ball-hawking Southwind press. The quarter ended with the Chargers in a deep hole down by 25 at 29-4.
CHS managed to win the second quarter 21-20 redeeming themselves somewhat on the solid play of senior guard Carl McKenzie who led the team with 18 points in the game. The Chargers also continued their good shooting from the free throw line going 16-20 that being the one place they outshone Southwind which shot 13-19 for the game. The Jaguars won the second half by four points, 41-37, but knew that they had been in a battle as the Chargers managed to win the final quarter by two. Southwind had five players to score in double figures on high percentage shooting from the outside. The Jags hit eight shots from beyond the arc, which doubled the Charger total in the game. As with Melrose, their superior height was a factor as well but CHS helped the visitors with lackadaisical defensive effort. The Chargers have a full week of Thanksgiving holiday hard court action. They play in the Ridgeway Classic at Ridgeway High School twice this week. Wed., Nov. 25 - CHS vs. Memphis Hillcrest 7:30 p.m. Fri., Nov. 27 - CHS vs. Bolivar 6 p.m. CHS will return to
regular season play on Tue., Dec. 1 at home in a district contest against the Ripley Tigers. Tip-off will be at approximately 7:30 p.m. In a special event note, the Chargers will be the opening act in the Penny Hardaway Classic on Thursday, Dec. 3, at 6:30 p.m., at the Elma Roane Field House on the campus of the University of Memphis. They will face Memphis Sheffield High in a re-match of last season’s TSSAA sectional game. Game tickets are $12 and are on sale at CHS. There is a second session game matching Ridgeway and Lee High (Huntsville,AL). CHS will get $2 from all tickets sold.

Lady Cards claim victory
The Brighton Lady Cardinals claimed the county's first district tournament title in the girls' soccer.

Pictured are team members, front, Austin Free, Jack Greene, Michael Staples, Cameron DeBlois; back, Matt Jacome, Will Turner, Ethan Whitley, Tyler Higgins, Tommy Flanagan and Turner Lane. Coaches are Bill Flanagan, Bret Whitley and Kevin Greene.
Cards score wins The Brighton boys’ and girls’ basketball team each picked up impressive wins last week in early-season action. Hosting Lake County, a team that won 31 games last season, on Nov. 19, the Cardinals started off strong and never let up en route to a 103-52 win. After building a 10-point lead in the first quarter, the Cardinals out scored the Falcons 29-10 in the second quarter to blow the game wide open. Demarius Adams led the Cardinals with 20 points as 14 Brighton players scored. Broderick Sayne added 12, Ricky Foster scored 11 and Demetrius Dyson added nine. Rafael Tyler led Lake County with
24 points. No one else scored in double figures. On Nov. 17 the Lady Cardinals hosted Westwood and had no problem with the Lady Longhorns, winning 80-43. Brighton led 22-2 after one quarter and cruised from there. Demiah Eaton and Terice Burrell led Brighton with 14 points each and Britt Sanford and Jasmine Pittman each scored 11. Brighton won the fourth quarter 23-5. Brighton will be back in action Nov. 25 at home against Collierville.
Southwind blows by Lady Chargers By Steve holt Special to The Leader Five consecutive turnovers in the second period led to a 10-0 run by the Southwind Lady Jaguars at Castellaw Gym last Friday night and turned a 1313 tie into a 10 point lead that the CHS Lady Chargers would not overcome the rest of the night. Neither team handled nor shot the ball particularly well in this the second of two pre-season Hall of Champions exhibitions as Southwind took the contest 50-40. Covington won the first quarter 11-10 forcing multiple turnovers and hustling all over the floor. The Lady Chargers did not hit from the floor with consistency but did fare better at the line with Iesha Carruthers going 3-4 in the period. Southwind was very active on defense but just as sloppy on offense. The second period told the tale as CHS made error after error attempting to break the three-fourth quarter press employed by Southwind. That defense fueled the mid-quarter run that gave the Lady Jaguars the lead that they maintained throughout the remainder of the game. Outscoring CHS by 16 in the quarter, 24-8, Southwind built a cushion that propelled them to a win despite the sloppy play they continued to exhibit on both ends of the floor in the second half.
The Lady Chargers made a game of it in the last two periods winning the half by five points, 21-16, but it was not enough as their own miscues matched those of the Southwind team. At a point in the third quarter, Southwind committed six consecutive turnovers, but CHS was unable to convert on a single one. A bright spot for CHS, their free throw shooting did improve somewhat from the first game, as they were 14-24 from the line for the night. Dominique Ross continued her hot scoring with a team and game high 20 points for CHS. The Lady Chargers will take a break in action for the Thanksgiving holidays. They return to the court in district play to host the Ripley Lady Tigers on Tuesday, Dec. 1, at 6 p.m. Scoring by quarters 1 2 3 4 CHS 11 8 12 9 SHS 10 24 6 10

Covington FFA members attend national convention In late October, seven members of the Covington FFA Chapter attended the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Ind. The FFA members had a jam-packed week full of excitement – learning new leadership skills, attending numerous workshops and tours, participating in the largest career show for youth in America and watching a Toby Keith concert. Covington FFA also received a National Chapter Award, which is the highest award that a chapter can receive. Covington was one of only eighteen chapters out of over 200 in the state to receive the award. While at the convention, members also heard a keynote speech from Mike Rowe, producer and host of Dirty Jobs, a popular television program on the Discovery Channel. He talked to the students about work ethics and the need for youth to develop a positive work ethic. The Covington FFA students had a great time at convention and look forward to “Leading Out Loud” the rest of the year at Covington High School.

I only though I was going to fill about 40 backpacks, but we got enough to make 60.� Kevin developed the project from start to finish, including the purchase of 60 backpacks. “I bought the bags with a portion of my bar mitzvah money,� he said. “These are kids like me and I just thought they deserved a break and the opportunity to have food over the weekend.� Kevin’s mom Rhonda is understandably extremely proud of her young son. “Once we learned about it, it was a no-brainer.

COVINGTON DIAMOND CLUB presents
Holiday Tour of Homes The Covington Diamond Club will host its annual Holiday Tour of Homes on Sunday, Dec. 6 from 2 - 5 p.m. Tickets for this year's event will be $10 and may be purchased from any Covington High School baseball team member or at Wrather Dental Center. Coach David Sage is expecting a great season in 2010 season. MRS. DEWEY BARBER, 314 MAPLE STREET — This yellow poplar, narrow slatted frame home was built by Richard Shelton in 1911 for Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Green. In order to accurately fit the red gum moldings in the ceilings and baseboards, the mill work was done on location. This beautiful woodwork, along with the original glass, provides this home its early 1900s character. Nannie Boyd Green, a teacher at the Tipton Female Seminary, and her sister Rosa Boyd lived in the house until 1967. After the Green family lived there, the home was sold to the Beard family who lived there until 1973 when the home was sold to the Daniel family who lived there until 1979 then sold to the Portis family. The Dewey Barber family has made this its home since 1982. The family has tried to maintain the home's original character over the past 27 years. MR. AND MRS. GREG FORD, 720 TALLEY AVENUE — Built in 1966 by Walter Whitley and wife, Camille. The Whitley family lived there for 29 years, raising their children in this home. Later the Whitleys sold the home to Albert Uttz and wife, Sarah. In December 2006, Greg and Jen Ford purchased the home from Mr. and Mrs. Uttz. The Fords have one daughter, Ann Charlotte and a baby girl is expected in November 2009. Situated on the corner of Herring and Talley, this two-story Williamsburg home is fronted by a circular driveway and surrounded by beautiful trees. Three-yearold, Ann Charlotte, loves having the family watch her ride her jeep around the long driveway. The Fords have taken a well cared for home and updated the sprinkler system, sodded the front yard, replaced the heating and air conditioning systems, replaced tile and replaced all carpeted floors with wood flooring to match the original dark wide wood floors downstairs. The Ford home has four bedrooms, of which two are master bedrooms, including a large downstairs wing that was added to the home. The home is decorated with lovely antique furniture including a sofa from the Civil War era in the parlor, a gift from Mrs. Ford's mother and father, Louie and Mary Gaither. Other antiques are throughout the home, many of which belonged to Mr. Ford's grandparents. Silk drapes given as a gift from Mr. Ford's parents, Kent and Lisa Ford, adorn the parlor and dining room. The elegant dining room accented by British Heritage furniture is a beautiful backdrop for Mrs. Ford's favorite set of Autumn by Lenox dishes, which she enjoys using when they entertain their family and friends. The Fords take pride in their home and love being a part of the Covington community. MR. AND MRS. MICHAEL ROANE, 185 GARLAND DRIVE — The two story home of Michael and Leslie Roane is reminiscent of early 1900s foursquare homes, yet has the conveniences of modern construction. The house, completed in 2006, was designed entirely by homeowner Leslie Roane and features many architectural details reconstructed from photographs of old buildings that the couple has collected throughout the years. The home contains a large family room, open entry hall, formal dining room, spacious kitchen with wet bar and pantry, master suite with luxurious bathroom, two children's bedrooms and baths, playroom, office, mudroom area with bath, utility/art room and three car garage. The downstairs features 10foot ceilings, wide plank oak hardwood floors, brick floors and fireplaces and custom cabinetry throughout. The home's interior is furnished with a mix of antique lighting, custom made furniture, family antiques, architectural elements and original artwork. Special features of the home include a pedestal slipper tub in the master bath, an antique oak mantle in the dining room, and the antique milk glass lighting fixtures and the custom built staircase in the entry hall. The exterior of the home features tumbled brick with custom made concrete window sills and porch ledges accented with craftsman style columns. The deep set porches and outdoor living areas create a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy the views of the nearby lake. This home is inviting and comfortable, the perfect design to accommodate the homeowner's busy family life. MR. AND MRS. EDDIE DANIEL, 2808 BRIDE ROAD — The Southern Colonial home of Eddie and Carol Daniel was built in 1964 by Mrs. Daniel's parents, Judge and Mrs. Henry Vaughan. The house was built by Mayes-Howard Lumber Company and designed by Mrs. Vaughan. Mrs. Vaughan named the house Windrush. Mr. and Mrs. Daniel were married in the house in 1967. After Judge Vaughan died in 2008, the house was renovated inside and became the home of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel. The house is being enjoyed by the Daniels' children, Liz and Bill Flanagan, Kirk and Glenn Daniel and five grandchildren. It is surrounded by farm crops of soybeans, corn and in some years cotton. The Daniels and their children enjoy a farm lifestyle of raising cattle, growning pecans, and other agriculture endeavors.

Atoka By Mabel Smith 837-8017 Dear readers: Here it is Friday, Nov. 20 and I was called to get the news in today. Well I don’t have any news from the churches, so I will tell you about two conversations. My granddaughter Carol used the Internet several weeks ago to call Georgia Morris Lamb and asked if she was Aunt Mary Fee’s daughter. Several weeks went by, but on Thursday, Nov. 19, she heard from her, asking if she was Aunt Mabel Smith’s granddaughter and they had a nice long conversation. Georgia is in Catar with her husband, Bob, who is teaching there. She taught there three years, but is taking it easy this year. She told Carol they would be home for Christmas and then return
home for good in the spring. Then last night I received a phone call from Virginia Lee Sanders and we talked for about an hour about our life, health, and friends. She lives in her dream house, and is not in the best of health. But living is good even if we are not in the best of health. On the prayer list: Hunter Box, Carolyn Max, Brice Fite, Rodney Waits, Susan McKee, Grace Gray, David Kemp, June Glass, Amy Novac, Bill Parker, Pat Lloyd, Doug Carter, Katie Burke, Bill Stimpson, Renee Blackard, Jewell Forbess, Faye Willis, Bobby Bailey, Ben Pylant, Stephanie Glover, Bill Dunn, Mel Jackson, Seth White, Larry Burke and Shannon Pirtey. We want to remember the families of Rudolph Taylor, Jean Wannage, Woodie Woodard, Tyler Daniel Albritten and the brother of Budd Teddington who died in Lexington last week.

For me I am truly blessed to enjoy reasonable good health for myself as well as for everyone in our large family. There are a whole lot of happy healthy Burtons out there. Katarene Harber’s children and their families will be gathered around her lovely table this year. Boy can she cook. All I can say is after it’s all over, a whole bunch of full happy folks will be leaving smiling and very very full. As for me I’ll be enjoying family dinner with the Miller Tyndall’s family in Memphis I’ll prepare for my sons over that weekend here at home. Whatever you do or whenever you dine, remember to give all thanks to God. We are still in prayer for Posie Reed, Mildred Sherrill and family, Bessie Cobbs, Doris King, Demetrice Baker, Jennie Stewart, Jeffery Mosley Sr., Willie Parthenia Hodge,

Tipton County Adult Development By Floyd Columbus We the TCADC service recipients and staff would like to thank Jerry Fayne for bringing the movie The Passion of The Christ for us to watch at the center. Staff and service recipients left for an outing at 9:30 a.m. stayed until 11 a.m. or 1 p.m. They took sack lunches. We went to a fifties sock hop. Refreshments were served at the dance in Henning. The centers had a nice time listening to the 50s music as well as enjoyed root beer floats. The gym was decorated with a drive in diner theme complete with old ‘50s cars. It was put on by Victory Baptist Church in Henning on Oct. 30. On Nov. 10 service recipients and staff from both centers went to Halls First United Church. They enjoyed the
annual fall dance put on by the Ripley Lauderdale County Junior Auxiliary. They enjoyed all kinds of music and refreshments. Everybody had a nice time. We want to thank the Go Club for their assistance in getting us much needed supplies. They help to keep items needed like paper towels, napkins, plates and plastic silverware. We want to thank the ladies of Hebron Church for the nice Thanksgiving dinner. The TCADC service recipients and staff appreciate it very much. We want to thank them for all they do for us here at the center. Staff and service recipients had a visit from a former staff member Kathy Dye. It was nice to see her. We drew names at the center for our Christmas party on Dec. 24 Until next time, Floyd Columbus
Dunlap Retirement Center By Kathy Keiter Hello again everyone! As the leaves fall to the ground, I am reminded of my dear precious mother, Opal Morton, who passed away in March of 2007, God rest her soul! She loved this time of year and all the majesty it portrays. A definite sign from her Lord that “Fall is here and Winter is a comin’.” All the beautiful colors that come with this season, just makes you want to snuggle up with somebody and share a great story and a cup of good coffee. Thoughts of Thanksgiving is in the air and the
excitement of family get-togethers is on our minds, but we really need to be focused on and thankful for our freedom that we still have! Not sure how long it’s gona last but we have it today, so we truly do need to give thanks to our Lord God Almighty!! Please be in prayer for Ms. Vivian McLennan. She is in the hospital right now and they are doing some tests. She will probably be discharged by the time you read this, but please keep praying! Also please continue to keep
Mt. Carmel/Clopton By Elaine Watkins 476-7093 Greetings from Mt. Watkins! I got a call yesterday from Debbie at The Leader, saying that the paper will come out on Wednesday next week, because of Thanksgiving, and I should have my notes in by 5 p.m. on Friday. It’s Thursday afternoon, 2:50 and I’m starting on my column while I have a few minutes. This week’s CK Report: I just looked out the window and saw Chicken Kitty and the black hen. The hen has wallowed out a leafy nest in the corner where the kitchen and den meet. She sometimes lays eggs there. I noticed while ago the she and the cat are nestled down for a nap! How cute! This week’s Doxie Report: one pup left! JohnnyLeach of Lauderdale County, who hauled just about all our soybeans for us, picked up the long-hair yesterday and said this morning that she did very well last night. “Short-hair” whined a little at bedtime, with that being the first night without a sibling in her life,but after a few minutes she went to sleep. Someone need a good Christmas gift? A puppy in a box? I’ll supply the red bow on her neck! We received the neatest card in the mail the other day from Tanner Wakefield and his fiancee Chrissy Fuqua, asking that we reserve the date of March 27, 2010 next year for their wedding. “Formal invitation to follow.” Very
clever idea! Their house is all finished and so cute! We can see it across the pasture. I’d like to sit on that wrap-around porch some time! Best wishes to them! James has agreed to my idea of redecorating our bedroom after 26 years. Even tearing out a wall! We probably won’t start until after the holidays but I’ve already drawn the plans and picked out paint! That’s my thing though - I used to be an interior decorator and took architectural drafting at the local vocational school. I love re-doing; I can’t wait to get started! James and I drove to Millington Monday night to meet Michelle Huggins Nowak for dinner. We miss her since she married Evan and moved to Millington! We had fun and went back to see their house before we headed home. We missed seeing Evan; he was at work in Memphis. I’ve been meaning to express my sympathy to Larry Rice in the death of his mother recently. He’s been in my and James’ thoughts and prayers. We had our last Ladies Class at the Church of Christ last night, as the quarter is ending. We all appreciate Jenni Langston teaching; it was both fun and inspirational. The birthday party at Covington Manor will be on the 21st at 2 p.m. The birthday party at Covington Care will be at 2 on the 28th. Roy Randolph is in our prayers, as he is
fighting pneumonia in a Memphis hospital. And for Judy also. It’s rough having a husband in the hospital. I hope he’s home again soon. We welcome Timothy Miles of Burlison to our church family! Happy birthday this week goes to Zoe Liles and Ivan Stephenson on November 23rd, to Melea Edmonds, Ellie Wall and Tim Sallee on the 24th, to Kelley Melton on the 26th, to Jim Edmonds and Charlene Dalrymple on the 27th and to Braxton Brown on the 28th! Happy anniversary to Roy and Judy Randolph on November 23rd, to Brad and Becky Evins and Frelan and Bonnie Holbrook on the 24th and to Pat and Ivan Stephenson on the 26th! Sympathy is extended to the families of Rudolph Taylor and Maggie Burks. The Annual FreedHardeman University Benefit Dinner will be on December 4th with speaker Mike Huckabee. I was so glad to see the sunshine this morning after days of cold, cloudy drizzly weather. It really looks like Thanksgiving. I hope everyone has a great Turkey Day! After that, less than a month till Christmas! Can’t wait to get my tree up! Actually, four trees! I’ll be so glad to see all my Wizard of Oz ornaments again! And I have tickets to see the play at the Orpheum in December! This week’s Farmer’s Alamanac Calender Quote, this one on Thanksgiving Day: “Count each snowflake as a blessing, just like turkey and walnut dressing.” Until next
By Eddie Kellum 476-2683 Hello from Burlison. One of my favorite holidays is Thanksgiving and this year has past so fast that its here again already. To me Thanksgiving holiday means a lot of good food like turkey and dressing, potato salad, cranberry sauce and rolls (or my wife’s great homemade biscuits). I’m getting hungry just writing about it. What does Thanksgiving mean to you? I know for a lot of folks, it’s the tradition of watching football. To some, it may be the parades. I hope to most of you, it’s the same as is for me. A time to gather together with your family for good food and good times, but most of all to offer prayers and thanks to the Lord for his many blessings, not only on our families, but for our nation and world. The earliest attested Thanksgiving celebration in America was on September 18, 1565 in what is now Saint Augustine, Fla., but the traditional first Thanksgiving is said to have occurred in 1621 at the site of Plymouth Plantation in Massachusetts. Our country is not the only one that celebrates Thanksgiving. Canada celebrates Thanksgiving on the second Monday of each October. Grenada, an island in the Caribbean Sea celebrates Thanksgiving on October 25th. Throughout the history of mankind there has been a celebration of thanksgiving for the harvest. Many ancient tillers of the ground believed that their crops contained spirits which caused the crops to grow and die. They believed that these spirits would be released when the crops were harvested. These spirits had to be destroyed or they would wreak revenge on the harvesting farmers, so the farmers held their harvest Thanksgiving to defeat the spirits. The Greek goddess of corn and grains was named Demeter and was honored each autumn with at the fes-
tival of Thesmosphoria. Romans celebrated a harvest festival called Cerelia. This festival included music, parades, games, sports and a feast. Sound familiar? The ancient Chinese celebrated their harvest festival, known as Chung Ch’ui. Each year in the eighth month and on the fifteenth day fell a new moon. This day was considered the birthday of the moon and special yellow, round cakes made to look like the moon were baked. Egyptians celebrated their harvest festival in honor of Min, god of vegetation and fertility and this festival was held in the springtime which was the Egyptian harvest season. When Egyptians harvested their corn, the would weep and pretend to be grief stricken in order to deceive and not anger the spirit which they believed lived in the corn. Jewish families celebrate a harvest festival called Sukkoth. Sukkoth takes its name form succots, the huts in which Moses and the Israelites lived in as they wandered for forty years in the desert on their way to the promise land. Now with all that history of celebrations of thanksgiving harvest festivals, I don’t know about you, but I’m so glad that our God, the one true God, doesn’t require us to bake moon cakes, try to scare spirits away and pretend to weep and be grief stricken in order to keep him from being angry. As we celebrate Thanksgiving, we can enjoy our families, play a few games, watch a little football and most of all offer our thanksgiving for our God’s most wonderful blessings. Paula and I went to Bristol last weekend to visit my daughter Shanna and attend King’s fall band concert. It was wonderful to see Shanna and we enjoyed our time with her but it was too short. Shanna will be home for Thanksgiving and we’re looking forward to that. Thanks for reading and if you have any information for future articles you can reach me at 901-476-2683 or email me at kellumeddie@yahoo.com.
Ms. Jean Bell in your prayers. She has some upcoming tests to go through. Thanks so much to Ms. Sarah Champagne for her generosity in picking, cleaning and cooking turnip greens for all the Dunlap folks. We appreciate you so very much Ms. Sarah! She even brought me some and she even made me some cornbread!! Oh my goodness, I feel so spoiled! I just really want to thank everybody for all you’ve done for me during my recovery. I feel so blessed to have so many wonderful people surrounding me. I never knew when I took this
job 2½ years ago that I would be able to stretch even further, my circle of friends the way I have. Everyone in this community has just took me under their wing and I just want to say thank you so much. I am feeling very good since my surgery and getting stronger every day! I love this place over here with all my heart and soul, including residents, staff and the community. All of my readers, oh my, I just can’t thank you enough for your comments and phone calls and everything you all do for me! Like I have said many Please see Dunlap, page B4

DUNLAP Continued from Page B3 times, God is good, all the time. I would love to tell you some funny things that happen over here but I would never embarrass any one of these precious people, so just know this is a fun place to be and a wonderful place to live and work. Speaking of that, I’d like to invite you to come and join in the fun and just move in over here! We have retirement rooms available plus two beautiful independent living apartments. Utilities are included and so is the maintenance of the building. I would love for you to come sometime and take a tour of our facility just so you would know what goes on! We sure did enjoy “The Hallelujah Choir” from Millington coming and performing for us. Our folks love to sit and sing the old hymns. Thank you Walt and all your crew!!! Please come again. If your Sunday School Class or your church would like to come and sing Christmas carols to our residents, we would love that. Just give me a call and let me know when you can come. I had a wonderful lady call me and tell me how
much Dunlap has meant to her over the years. She is a retired school teacher. She has fond memories of Dunlap and goes way back with us. She even suggested she would like to adopt one of our residents for Christmas. This one she spoke of, I’m sure she has never met or doesn’t know him, but in reading my notes, I suspect that is how she knows his name. She says she doesn’t know all the residents names but she prays for them
because she knows God knows their names!!! Now is that sweet as anybody could ever get! That touched my heart in a way that will stick with me for a long long time! Thank you Ms. Virginia, for all of your most encouraging words. God can use all of us, and that’s what she does. She says some day she hopes to be out here herself! She is facing surgery and is currently in a wheelchair. Isn’t that amazing? I love it how

Scamp was rescued from the Covington, TN city pound by C.A.R.E. He was picked up as a stray with no collar. The best estimate of the type of dog is that he looks like a Nova Scotia Duck-Tolling Retriever [Mix]. He’s with a great foster family now and is doing wonderful. He’s very gentle and sweet, and is getting along well with other dogs. Scamp is about 7-8 months old and full of life. He never meets a stranger and loves everyone that comes to visit him. He’s a hard-to-resist little boy. He loves to roll over for belly rubs and is great with children as well. He’s learning how to walk on a leash, which is great because he’s a pretty chubby boy! He could use the exercise:) Scamp is short and fairly small, weighing around 30 lbs. He’s been fully vaccinated and neutered. Won’t you think about opening up your heart and home to give Scamp a home soon? If you are interested in adopting Scamp, please go to www.covingtonanimalrescueeffort.com and click on “adoption procedures”.

Tips for holiday eating without weight gain By MICHELLE MAY MD
you go to a party so you won’t be tempted.” That is absurd! You want to be hungry enough to enjoy your favorites. Pace your eating prior to the event so you’ll be hungry but not famished at mealtime. • Most people are food suggestible so socialize away from the sight of the food. • Survey all of the food at a buffet before making your choices. Choose the foods that you really want most and remind yourself that you can have the other foods another time. • It’s common to have holiday treats lying all over the place this time of year. Grazing mindlessly leads to eating food that you won’t even remember. Eat mindfully by reducing distractions and sitting down to eat—even if it’s just a cookie. Appreciate the appearance and aroma of your food and savor one small bite at a time by putting your fork down. You’ll eat less food but enjoy it more. • Before overeating, pause and take a breath; ask “How do I want to feel when I’m finished?” • Be cautious of obligatory eating—
Do you anticipate the holidays but dread the “inevitable” holiday weight gain? Do your holiday events revolve around food more than the meaning, people, presents, decorations, or travel? Eating mindfully and preventing holiday weight gain during the holidays can be a real challenge unless you have a strategy. These 10 holiday eating tips will help you enjoy the season more while eating less. • It’s easier to get distracted from signals of physical hunger and satiety at social gatherings, especially if food is the main event. Make an effort to pay close attention to your body’s signals. • Be a food snob. Skip the store-bought goodies, the dried-out fudge and the so-so stuffing. If the food you select doesn’t taste as good as you expected, stop eating it and choose something else. Think of how much less you’d eat if you only ate things that tasted fabulous! • Ignore the old diet advice of “eat before

eating just because it’s on the table, on your plate, you paid for it, it’s free, or someone made it for you. Deal with food pushers with a polite but firm, “No thank you.” If you’re concerned about hurting their feelings, ask for the recipe or a small portion to take home with you for another meal. • Don’t use exercise as punishment for eating. Instead, look for opportunities to move more. For example, take a walk after dinner to enjoy the holiday lights, take a few laps around the mall before it opens to do some window shopping, or take guests to local attractions. • Most importantly, delight all of your senses. Enjoy the company, the atmosphere, the entertainment, and the traditions even more than the food.
