Mason veteran killed on Hwy. 59 By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com COVINGTON - A Mason man is dead following two separate accidents early Sunday morning. Authorities say 29-year-old Patrick Jones, a two-time veteran of the War in Iraq,
was traveling northbound on Highway 59 South near Brierhedge when he veered off the west side of the road just before 5 a.m. Driving a 2008 Honda Civic, he reportedly struck a concrete culvert and the vehicle became airborne. An investigation
determined the vehicle rolled from side to side before coming to a rest on its roof. This accident was not the one to claim Jones' life, however. He exited the vehicle and witnesses confirmed he was on the phone when he stumbled into the high-
way in the path of an oncoming vehicle. "He walked out into the roadway and was struck by a Chevrolet Trailblazer," said Deputy Chief Donna Turner with the Tipton County Sheriff's Office. The Trailblazer was driven by Myron Jones, 28, also of Mason.
The two men are not related. "The preliminary investigation reveals Myron Jones was not drinking at the time of the crash," Turner said. "We're waiting on results from the TBI Crime Lab and the autopsy reports before we meet with the (dis-
trict attorney) to determine possible charges." Turner said the investigation and autopsy will determine whether alcohol was a factor in the first accident and which of Patrick Jones' injuries came from which accident. Myron Jones was not injured in the accident.

TDOT discusses I-69 design By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com MUNFORD - Tuesday night, officials with the Tennessee Department of Transportation held a public meeting with residents to discuss the Interstate 69 project. Though still in the environmental stage, where an impact study is being conducted, TDOT officials discussed the interstate's planned design with residents. "After every public meeting, we do make some changes," engineer Patrick Murray with GeoTech Engineering told the
audience. First unveiled in 2008, the proposed design has been just one of many aspects of the project to concern residents. "We moved here from Memphis to get away from the crime and the traffic," said Kathy Reid, a resident whose street will be dissected by the interstate. "I'm just worried about the kids. I know you're doing an environmental study but the kids are number one or should be." TDOT officials displayed maps and artists' renderings of the way the proposed intersection at Gilt Edge Road (SR-
178) will look once construction is complete. Segment 8 of Interstate 69 will take motorists through the western part of the county, from Quito to northwestern Covington before crossing Hwy. 51 at Rialto in the heart of Covington's industrial developments and continuing into Lauderdale County. Section two of the Millington to Dyersburg segment runs from north of Simmons Road to just north of Gilt Edge Road. It was the subject of SEE I-69, PAGE A10
COVINGTON - Last week County Executive Jeff Huffman officially proclaimed April as Child Abuse Prevention Month, a designation that has not been declared in nearly two decades. Convening on the lawn of the Tipton County Courthouse, Huffman and local officials committed themselves to helping "families under construction." Annually, an estimated 4 million children are affected by child abuse and neglect. The problem has reached epidemic proportions, local Carl Perkins Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse Director Bethany Kirby said. "Each year, more than 39,000 suspected cases of child abuse and neglect are reported in the state of Tennessee," she said. "However, many more cases go unreported. That is why it is so important for citizens to know that everyone can do something to help prevent child abuse and neglect." When Kirby joined the staff in 1992, Tipton County had the highest rates of child abuse and neglect in the state per capita. Today the numbers are much lower and education and advocacy have both been cited as contributing factors in the decrease.

Photo by Echo Day acts as a facility central to all disciplines involved in the investigation and prosecution of abuse cases as well as the advocacy of abused children. "It's a safehaven for families to be able to come and those children can be interviewed here in a safe environment," said Kirby. Kirby said neglect encompasses 60 percent of cases the Carl Perkins Center sees, but many people forget about it because physical and sexual abuse is so common. There are four types of abuse: neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse and emotional abuse. Neglect is not meeting the basic needs of the child, like food, shelter and clothing as well as not taking them to the doctor. In terms of abuse, there is not one type more prevalent than SEE PREVENTION, PAGE A3
Munford mom selected to represent state at conference By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com MUNFORD – A Tipton County mother has been chosen to represent the state in an inaugural education and learning conference next month, Parenting magazine announced Monday. Pearl Andrews of Munford will join Parenting staffers, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne
Duncan and one mom education advocate from each state at Georgetown University on May 2 for Mom Congress. “I am elated,” Andrews said Monday. “I deem it an honor and a privilege to be found worthy to not only represent moms from my hometown and school district, but also the entire state of Tennessee.” In a press release, Parenting editors said Andrews was cho-
sen to represent the state for her outstanding contributions and dedication to improving local schools. A total of 51 mothers from each state and the District of Columbia have been selected as Mom Congress delegates. Driven by the ever-increasing role parents play in advocating positive change in the education system, Parenting magazine launched the Mom
Congress initiative in March 2009 to celebrate and connect mothers fighting for better schools. Each delegate was selected from applications submitted at parenting.com <http://parenting.com> and will receive round-trip airfare, a two-night hotel stay and the opportunity to connect with other mothers from across the country to share success stories, chal-
lenges and concerns as they work to improve the nations’ schools. Mom Congress delegates will work toward creating Parenting’s “Lesson Plan for Change,” a guide to help empower parents across the nation to become more involved in the education of their children. SEE ANDREWS, PAGE A3

Recent burglaries may be tied to one suspect By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com COVINGTON – Last week a would-be burglar had a bad day, but his bad fortune solved several crimes in Tipton County. Just before noon on Monday, March 21, Thomas Louis Alexander Jr. was shot at while he attempted to burglarize a home on Lindsey Drive in the Harmon Estates area of Brighton, the sheriff's office reported. Alexander wasn't injured in the shooting and fled the scene, but later caught up with law enforcement officers. "Just as soon as they turned their lights on, he pulled off," said Sheriff J.T. "Pancho" Chumley. Alexander led Tipton County deputies and troopers with the
Tennessee Highway Patrol on a high-speed chase from Mueller Brass Road north on Highway 51 through Covington's city limits, Chumley said. The pursuit ended with an accident at Highway 51 and Valley Avenue, across the street from the Tipton County Clerk’s office. "He's running down the highway at a high rate of speed, putting everyone's life in danger and then hit innocent people head on. I feel sorry for those people." The pursuit is still currently under investigation. Alexander's speed during the pursuit has not yet been determined. "It was about 56 seconds and it was over with," Chumley said. "He knew that he was
caught and so he was doing everything he could, just like a mad dog, trying to get away." Alexander was airlifted to the Regional Medical Center in Memphis. As detectives began investigating the attempted burglary and accident, they found Alexander had property in his vehicle from a burglary that hadn't yet been reported. Detectives also believe Alexander is responsible for a string of burglaries all over the county in recent weeks from Burlison to Brighton and Munford. "His M.O. is the same," Chumley said. "But this time where he messed up, the Tipton Countian was in the home and took his pistol and starting firing on him."
Released from jail a year ago, Alexander has a criminal history that includes burglary, aggravated burglary, drug and weapons charges and assault, said Chumley. More than a week after the accident, Alexander remains hospitalized and is still in critical condition. "When he gets out of the hospital, he can look forward to going back to jail," Chumley said. "He's the bad guy that lost this time." Anyone having information about burglaries in Tipton County is asked to contact the Criminal Investigations Division at the Tipton County Sheriff's Office at (901) 475-3300. Callers may remain anonymous and do not have to appear in court.
CPD installs new drug/gang unit By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com COVINGTON - In an effort to be more proactive, the Covington Police Department has implemented a new program to combat crime. The program, said police chief Bennie Carver, will create a specialized drug and gang unit and station officers in the city's most troubled areas. "I feel that we can be proactive in stopping crimes by the installation of this new program," Carver said. "This unit will be assigned to the troubled
areas or areas where this is a rise in calls, complaints or the need for police presence." The drug/gang unit will consist of three officers under the supervision of Sgt. Jay Black, said Lt. Allen Wilson, and will be part of the department's crime prevention strategy. "The hotter it gets, the more things pick up," Wilson said. "We decided we wanted to be proactive and add more people to the streets." Though the program's goal is to reduce crime during the season in which is it usually higher, it has already started to fall into place.
"We wanted to get the ball rolling and work the kinks out before summer," Wilson said. "In the past, we waited until something happened, but this year we're determined to be prepared ahead of time." Officers with the department are working to execute more search warrants and get drugs off of Covington's streets. Wilson believes there is a correlation between the amount of drugs and the crime rate. "When you get rid of drugs, your crime goes down," he said. According to Carver,
the installation of this new unit will come at no cost to taxpayers. "This will be at no expense as they are already working separately in these areas," Carver said. "This will put more of our officers in the middle of these areas where gangs are and where shootings have occurred."

Alleged shoplifters steal pizza, lures By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com COVINGTON - A Munford man and a juvenile are facing criminal charges after allegedly shoplifting during an intoxicated trip to Walmart two weeks ago. Among other charges, the pair has been accused of stealing a frozen pizza and fishing lures. According to incident reports, at approximately 2:30 a.m. on March 20, Covington officer Greg Templeton observed the pair, who appeared to be intoxicated, walking to a vehicle. Templeton stopped them before they could leave in order to test the sobriety of the driver,
Jonathon W. Kiddy. The report states Kiddy confessed to Templeton he'd consumed three beers earlier in the evening. Kiddy, 21, of 517 Laxton Lane in Munford, refused to submit to a blood alcohol test, a violation of the implied consent law, and failed poorly on field sobriety tests. Both Kiddy and the 17-year-old male, also of Munford, were questioned about possible illegal substances in the vehicle. According to the police report, the 17-year-old told officers a bag of marijuana was in the truck's center console. In addition to a small bag of marijuana, police
discovered a partially unwrapped frozen pizza, two packages of fishing lures, step lights, twin sockets and a PlayStation 2 video game. The report states the 17-year-old confessed to police the two had stolen the items from Walmart. Kiddy was taken into custody and charged with driving under the influence, violation of the implied consent law, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and shoplifting. He was released on a $1,000 bond. The juvenile was charged with shoplifting and simple possession of marijuana. He was released to the custody of his parents.

Three charged with possession in Covington By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com COVINGTON - Police remain focused on their goal to get drugs off of Covington's streets and this week made more arrests, a department spokesman said. A March 22 traffic stop led to drug charges for Richard Allen Kuykendall of Arnold Sanders Road in Covington. According to police reports, Kuykendall, 42, was seen driving a pickup truck that did not have tags and was pulled over by Officer David Walk. Noting Kuykendall was nervous, Walk frisked him and found
a TIG welding tip filled with what Kuykendall reportedly confessed was marijuana. The report also states the frisk produced two small bags of marijuana with the combined weight of approximately 6.9 grams. He was charged with simple possession of marijuana and improper display of tags. On Wednesday, March 23, a search warrant was executed at 105 Frye Cove and two people were charged with drug possession. Upon entering the home, officers detained Louis Barry Holland, 34, and Kimberly M. Lumpkin, 24. According to the report, officers

Time to let go Tuesday night, I was among the hundreds of residents who attended the TDOT design meeting (see page A1) to review the proposed design and give input on the Interstate 69 project. TDOT and GeoTech Engineering representatives displayed maps and artist renderings of the plans and were nice enough to answer any question asked. Seeing the satellite images of Glenview with a computer-aided design of an interchange at Gilt Edge and Plantation roads overlayed took my breath away. And not in a good way. It was almost devastating, but I'm also a bit of a sentimental person (okay, I admit it, more than a bit). As much as I complain about others not liking change, I have to admit I don't warmly accept it, either. I'm not alone, though. Most residents in attendance not open to the idea OFF THE WALL that aare roadway will eventualECHO D AY ly change Tipton County as they've always known it. It reminds me of the Outer Banks of North Carolina – much the way the Atlantic Ocean erodes the coastline and shifts the barrier islands westward, so will the interstate change Tipton County. The interstate will change our roads, our subdivisions, our towns, our way of life. Business and industry will begin taking root near the interstate and will more than likely change our landscape, moving the heart of cities closer to the hustle and bustle of the freeway. Though we don't know when it will happen, the interstate isn't going away. I'm not necessarily thrilled with it – an interchange and weigh station are planned to be constructed at the entrance to the park where my children and husband play soccer – but I think it's time we start to find the positives in this project. It's also time to realize the acquisition of properties and the construction of I-69 is nothing personal. It is, understandably, a controversial project and many people are angry over various aspects. However, I believe we can conduct ourselves in a much more tactful manner. As Glenview resident Shannon Hickman told me Tuesday night, we're not the first people in the history of the United States to live near an interstate. It can't be an easy job to stand up in front of an audience of hundreds of angry residents, people who will soon lose their homes and have their way of life disrupted, and take criticism. Quite honestly, I was disappointed by some of the behavior displayed Tuesday night. TDOT officials will be hosting a series of meetings to discuss other segments of this project, the next on April 20 at Brighton High School. I urge you to attend the meetings, to ask questions and voice your concerns, but also to be respectful of these representatives. I don't want this anymore than you do, but it's time to let go and focus on the positives.
Republicans fight for passage of Tennessee Health Freedom Act House Republicans this week fought for passage of the “Tennessee Health Freedom Act,” legislation which aims to protect the right of an individual to purchase—and the right of doctors to provide— lawful medical services without penalty. The bill, House Bill 3433, would also require the state Attorney General to take the necessary steps to defend these rights. The legislation has already passed the Senate by an overwhelming majority, and was presented this week in the House Industrial Impact Subcommittee. Supporters gathered in the committee room to watch the bill, and later held a rally on Legislative Plaza to support the legislation and protest against the federal takeover of healthcare signed by the President last Wednesday. The federal action is expected to cost Tennessee more than $200 million annually. It comes at a time when the state is in its 21st consecutive month in which sales tax revenues have recorded negative growth. The bill was also presented amid controversy over the House Democratic Caucus Chairman’s comments earlier in the week that some who are opposed to the federal plan are “against Obama because he’s African-American.” Republicans fired back, holding a press conference denouncing the comments and calling on the Chairman to apologize. Other states have already come forward saying they will be suing the federal government over the bill, while others have passed legislation similar to the “Tennessee Health Freedom Act” in an attempt to slow the implementation of the bill in their respective states.

Readers' views Healthcare Reform Dear Editor, In the March 25 issue of The Leader was a political cartoon depicting people opposed to the healthcare bill as "doomsdayers." On the same page was a letter from a reader celebrating the passage of this bill. I want to respond to each. I will make it brief and to the point. The concern we are expressing at tea party rallies and town hall meetings is not about the end of the world. That is God's business. We are concerned about the end of our Republic. The healthcare bill is inconsistent with our U. S. Constitution. The recently passed bill is not so much about healthcare as it is about government take over of health care. I have two questions for the writer of the letter of celebration: (a) Why did they not choose to repair the problems with health care rather than scrap the best healthcare in the world. (b) Why are the legislators and the president exempted from this coverage and are keeping their present coverage which is a far superior plan than has been written for "we the people?" Bill Wallace Covington **** Dear Editor, This article is written to thank Representative John Tanner who stepped up and supported health care reform. It was a courageous step in the face of insurance attacks. In our district alone reform would: • extend coverage to 50,500 uninsured residents. • provide tax credits

Edith B. White Farmers aren't sociopaths Dear editor, Farmers who shoot stray dogs and cats are often portrayed by wellmeaning but uninformed animal lovers as heartless, profit-driven sociopaths whose main source of entertainment is the suffering of any living being other than themselves. It's easy to think that way when one lives in the suburbs and is blissfully ignorant of the very real dangers farmers face from dogs and cats that have been dumped or allowed to roam and breed freely by irresponsible owners, or feral dogs that have all the appearances of the family pet but have been born in the wild to strays. After all, what could a defenseless dog do to a grown man? A dog that looks just like the dog asleep on my couch could never be a threat to my child, could it? Let me be clear. A pack of dogs, however cute, is dangerous. They may look deceptively like

family pets, and you may be lulled into a false sense of security by that cuteness or want to “help” them by feeding them. But this is not Fido or a little lost helpless doggie. These are wild animals that will kill livestock (or your beloved pet) not only out of hunger, but in the spirit of play as is the case with some packs. Just last year, a Georgia couple was killed and partially eaten by a pack of stray dogs that a wellmeaning neighbor had been feeding. As for the “harmless” nature of letting your cats wander, consider a recent study in Britain that estimated the number of small animals, poultry and songbirds killed by cats to reach 70 million. Million. Sorry, but if we see Fluffy around our chickens, she won't be coming home tonight. This is not just a local problem but a nationwide crisis. Spend five minutes online searching for things like “stray dog attack” or “stray dog kills livestock” and count the hits from all over the country. It's staggering. If you can find an alternative to shooting dogs and cats that we haven't tried and had to abandon as not viable or practical we'd love to hear it. We've attempted to find homes for many strays over the years, but if we tried to do that with every stray that wandered on to our property we would have to make dog/cat rescue our fulltime job. There are just too many of them, and their numbers increase with every litter born. Shelters are overwhelmed and rescues can't take the animals we try to place. Friends and neighbors have no room for more pets. The state of Tennessee
gives us the legal right to shoot a dog on our property regardless of whether or not he is attempting to harm livestock. But legality is not the issue here. What is the issue is my anger at having been repeatedly put in this position. All three of our own dogs are rescued animals living pampered lives filled with love, chew toys, nutrition and the best veterinary care available. Though we have 40 acres of land, our dogs are limited to a fenced in yard. It is unfair that we have to bear the responsibility and emotional turmoil of having to shoot these animals, but we are left with no choice. Yes, it's horrible to shoot a dog or cat, but it is even more horrible to have to be the person to do it. It's an image that haunts me, even if my husband has to pull the trigger (I simply can't do it). But is it acceptable to have my beloved chickens ravaged to death? Is it acceptable for someone's grandchild to be trampled by a 1,900pound draft horse trying to escape a dog nipping at her heels? I'd say those two very likely scenarios would cause much more pain and suffering than a preventative bullet to the brain of the dog or cat. It is not our responsibility to keep your animals off our property, it is YOUR responsibility to keep your animals ON yours. So save your criticisms of farmers for trying to protect the animals we love from other animals that others neglect or abandon. If your dog or cat is shot on our property, you have no one to SEE LETTERS, PAGE A5

LETTERS Continued from Page A4 blame but yourself. Claire B Culver Covington In support of shared custody Dear editor, I read with interest that comments made by Mr. McDaniel concerning the proposed bill on shared custody. This may come as a surprise coming from a female, but I thought he hit the nail right on the head. There is no doubt the courts are biased toward men in family court and in court, in general. Law should be gender neutral but it is not. In custody issues, all things being equal, a woman has the advantage. As a mother with children, I hate the thought of what life potentially can be for my sons if they make a poor choice on whom they marry. I realize that this bill is not perfect and some are going to argue what if one parent wants to move away, but frankly you should think about that before you have kids. A child needs two parents. I can imagine what it must be like being male and realizing society already assumes you to be the lesser of two parents simply for being born male. There are plenty of good fathers out there and plenty of men who would be good fathers if given the chance. Unfortunately, the courts don't want to allow that. I have heard a few people say that men are trying to get out of paying child support, but I am here to tell you, there are far more women who are taking advantage of the courts to get a paycheck. My take is if you decide the father is not going to be involved in your kids' life more than a few days a month, you are the one who should pay for almost everything. Expecting someone to pay for a child they have little involvement with is ridiculous. A child needs two parents and with all due respect to stepparents out there, a child needs his or her biological parents. This is a bill I am strongly in favor of because it is much more fair to both sides. It is sickening that so many men get discriminated by the courts because many judges are afraid to be fair to both sides and many attorneys are allowed to destroy the character of men who have the audacity to want to be equal parents to their children. Louise Wells Covington Shelter issues Dear editor, I have been thinking about this for almost 10 years. I wonder if Public Works or the Animal Shelter staff have ever really thought about when most people are most likely to be searching for pets? Saturdays or Sundays most likely. Our shelter is only open for a few hours on Saturday. When I worked, my sleep-n day was Saturday morning and I suspect that this is true for most
Thursday, April 1, 2010 • THE LEADER • A5 people. I never got up before 10 a.m. unless it was an emergency. Then breakfast, shower, dress and may be out in the world around 11:30 a.m. or later. Now it is obviously too late for me to go to the shelter for that dog or cat I wanted to adopt so my family could find some time to adjust to it over the weekend. I would bet that Monday and Tuesday are not big adoption days. The shelter could be open all day Saturday and from at least noon to 5 or 6 p.m. on Sunday. It just might up the adoption rate and decrease the euthanasia rate. The staff could have a whole two day "weekend." Please consider at least a pilot program of open weekends. It couldn't hurt and might help. Also I am completely ashamed that no vet from the Covington, Brighton, Munford, Atoka areas volunteers time and even medicines to the shelter. I do not know if they offer spaying/neutering to adopted shelter animals or not, but they should be offering this service at $40 or $50 max. I am sure this would not even put a dent in their profits. I would like to complain about one more thing, the shelter budget allotment from the county. They cannot even afford flea and tick shampoo or some anti-itch shampoo for those dogs suffering from mange. I think the vets and the dog/cat groomers could help out there with monthly donations of maybe one bottle each. I think the "shelter" in Covington is in about the same trouble as the Tipton County shelter. There are plenty of vets, groomers and volunteers that should be helping out. We are small bananas compared to some places and our shelters should be something we can boast about. Lets get together and solve this problem and also pass a required spay/neuter law in Tipton County so we don't have so many unwanted pets. Shirley Warrick Brighton

I reckon we have all heard our parents tell us many times, “ I want to make sure that you kids don’t have it as rough growing up as me and your Momma.” “Yes suhhh, we want you to have it a lot better than we did.” Sounds good. “Get you a good education, a good job, and not have to slave like we did.” Sounds good! “Always remember where you came from when ya’ tryin’ to get where ya’ goin’.” But as soon as you get a little money, a newer car and a down payment on a fairly nice house, it all flies apart. The noted philosophers still sittin’ on the front of Mr. Ben’s store taking all this in with their comments. “I might have known, the boy is trying to get above his raisin’.” You can’t win. Makes you feel guilty about spending money or having too much. Little out of place like a tuxedo on a Hampshire hog. Our parents had corns on their feet and calluses on their hands from hard work. That wasn’t fun, but it sure will make you appreciate an easier life if there is such a thing. I wonder? We will never know what our parents knew or even thought about. Think about it. Money, a good job and knowing influential people will never make a man. His upbringing, moral standards and background can be measured by what that person has accomplished. We were reminded from time to time by our parents with, “we don’t want you in wars, depressions or soup lines.” Our parents
didn’t worry about five o’clock traffic, road rage, car jacking, eating out of a plastic plate while using plastic so called forks. Why? Plastic hadn’t been invented! Now at fancy restaurants employees mop under yo’ feet with ammonia burning your nose as you try to eat. There were no recorded messages; we didn’t have a phone anyway. Don’t forget, filling stations pumped yo’ gas, checked the oil, aired yo’ tires and wiped the windshield. Self service actually means no service. Parents didn’t have to worry about liberation, moral majority, right movements, missiles, fiber optic or drinking water. Today boys dress and act like girls, girls dress and act like boys. Where does that put ‘Boy George’? Don’t you know his Momma and Daddy are real proud of him? See, I was raised in the old world and live in a new one. Back then, women cooked, washed clothes, cleaned house, sewed and raised a family. Today women wear coats and ties and Gloria Steinim is still pounding the podium. Maybe all this is fine, but I’m confused. Am I
a misfit in today’s society? Looks like it. No matter what you accumulate in your lifetime I believe there are some things you should do to never get above your raisin’. Few ’zamples. Bow your head during prayer, salute the flag, say grace at your meals, pull over when the hearse comes by out of respect, the next one coming down the road might have you in it. Open the door for the ladies, believe it or not, some might still appreciate it. Respect ‘yore’ elders. Don’t forget if you live long enough you will be a ‘Senior Citizen’ some day. That other alternative is not too attractive. At least, not just yet. Sometimes folks get educated above their capacity and they just wander around lost kicking dirt clods. Come to think about it, Nash Ramblers and Studebakers weren’t too pretty, but it sho’ was better than hoofing. Love thy neighbor, and a stranger is a friend that you haven’t met. Even the boys that have all the toys will be like Hank when he sang, “No Matter How I Struggle and Strive, I’ll Never Get Out of This World Alive” I Love my God. I Love my Country. I Love the Great South. When things get real bad, just go back and think about your “ROOTS”. Where you came from and where you’re going. Elvis sang the hymns, but the preacha’ will bring you the message. Please don’t forget Yo’ Blessed Southern Heritage….GLORY!

What's in a Name? Rev. Dr. Scott Sealy Special to The Leader
As Christians, we take our name from Jesus the Christ. Christ, the Greek equivalent of the Jewish title‚ "Messiah‚" means anointed one. But what does the "anointed one‚" mean? In the Old Testament oil is used to mark that someone had taken on one of three special jobs, or offices in the life of Israel: a Prophet, a Priest, or a King. The Prophet spoke God's word to the people. Correcting the people, giving a message of comfort, or warning of punishment if Israel continued to sin, the Prophet declared God's will with the familiar formula, "thus saith the Lord." The Priests were set apart to offer sacrifices on behalf of Israel as worship before the presence of God that was in the Temple. The Priests led in worship by praying on behalf of the people and announcing the cleansing from sin that the sacrifices portrayed before their eyes. Finally, the Kings led the people. They were military leaders who defeated the enemies and provided for peace from outsiders as well as administering justice and governing God's chosen people. The Hebrew scriptures are filled

with stories of anointed Prophets, Priests, and Kings: Isaiah and Elijah; Aaron and Eliezer; and David and Solomon. These all pointed to the ultimate "anointed one," - Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus was anointed by the Holy Spirit to fulfill the role of each of these offices. As Prophet, Jesus spoke God's word and revealed God's will. As Priest Jesus prayed for His people and offered himself as a sacrifice for their sins. And as King, Jesus defeated our enemies of sin and death and governs over His Church. But Jesus was not simply another in a long line of leaders; He is the fulfillment of what each of these offices embodied. Not only was he a Prophet announcing the word, He was Himself the "Word made flesh." Not only was he a Priest, he was also the perfect and final sacrifice and was the very presence of God, the True Temple - for "in Him the fullness of deity dwells bodily." And not only was He King, but the King of King to whom "every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth." Rev. Dr. Scott Sealy is the senior pastor, First Presbyterian Church Covington

I-69 Continued from Page A1 Tuesday's meeting. Design proposals include the construction of 5.5 miles of roadway in this section. The roadways will consists of two 12-foot travel lanes in each direction divided by a depressed grass median. TDOT officials have proposed the widening of Gilt Edge Road, the addition of a four-ramp interchange and a bridge over the interstate. A bridge over the interstate is also proposed for Campground Road. Appleberry Road, as well as several others, will be realigned.

Reed Estates, Happy Valley and Glenview Estates subdivisions as well as residents living on Appleberry Road between MunfordDrummonds Road and David Reed Drive. Philip Gable, a Nob Hill
Cove homeowner, told officials he purchased his home knowing the interstate was planned to run right through his property. Gable voiced concerns about right-ofway acquisitions. "I picked this house because I-69 was going to go right through it, I don't want to live next to the interstate," he said. "But I at least want back what I put into it, if not more." Project manager Steve Chipman told Gable and other homeowners funding hasn't yet been established for acquisitions. "Tennessee is a payas-you-go state, meaning we only have money for the design phase," he said. "It's hard to know when the money will be available." When the department does begin acquisitions, homeowners will be paid fair market value and damages, he said. "We're going to be sensitive to your needs," said Chipman. "It is not
www.covingtonleader.com our process to pay rock bottom prices, we want to protect your rights." And because TDOT officials do not yet know when they can begin acquiring properties, they do not yet know when they can begin construction on the interstate. This is another issue with residents. Some believe they will never see the interstate in their lifetime, but Chipman is confident the roadway will be constructed. "With all of the growth you've been experiencing in the last few years, you need some help, you need some relief from Highway 51," he said. In April, the department will hold another public meeting in Brighton to discuss section three of the Tipton County segment. Section three will run in parts of Munford and Brighton.

Hit-and-run suspect sought By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com MUNFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Police are searching for a man they believe hit a teen with his car, then fled the scene of the accident two weeks ago. According to police reports, at approximately 9:15 p.m. on March 13, a teenaged girl was struck by a white Chevy S-10 near the intersection of Tipton Road and Munford Avenue. Witnesses told police 17-year-old Sabrina Paulson hit the truckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hood, rolled over it and
landed in the street. The truck reportedly continued southbound through the intersection. Police were told the suspect, later identified as Eddie Jones of 134 LaShundra Jones Drive, laughed as he drove away. Officers attempted to locate the suspect, but were only able to find his truck. Parked behind the residence, the white Chevy S-10 had a scratch on its hood and a 12 ounce bottle of Bud Light in a cup holder on the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side. Police believe he may
have been intoxicated at the time of the incident. Though Paulson received injuries to her left arm, she was treated and released at the hospital. She was not seriously injured in the hit-and-run. Munford Police Chief Jim Harger reports Jones faces hit-and-run charges. He has not yet been arrested. Persons having information regarding the whereabouts of Eddie Jones are asked to contact the Munford Police Department at 901-8375980.

TWRA news Are you looking for an indoor project to occupy your time this winter? Something that can help wildlife and add a little color to your property? The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency would like to suggest that you consider building some bluebird nest boxes to erect in March. Each year in the late winter, one of Tennessee’s most attractive songbirds begins to look for suitable nest sites. In late February and March, bluebird pairs seek out hollow cavities in decaying trees and wooden fence posts to nest and raise their young. Eastern bluebirds were one of the first birds to appear around the homesteads of Tennessee settlers. During the 1800s and 1900s, hollow wooden fence posts were plentiful and bluebirds had an abundance of nest sites, but today’s metal fence posts have eliminated many potential sites. Luckily, help for the bluebird is as simple as building or buying a bluebird box and placing it 5 to 10 feet off the ground in a fairly open area. Construction of a bluebird box is easy. Boxes should be made of untreated wood. They should have a cavity 8 inches deep with a floor 5 inches wide and 5 inches long. The entrance should be 6 inches above the floor and the entrance hole should be 1½ inches in diameter.
Other beneficial birds, such as chickadees and wrens, may take up residence in a bluebird box. House sparrows may be a real problem when boxes are located near buildings. Bluebirds are territorial, so boxes should not be located within 100 yards of each other. Bluebirds prefer open fields like those of farm pastures, parks, cemeteries, or golf courses, but any large grass field or yard will do. Nest boxes in densely wooded areas are rarely used by bluebirds. If you would like to assist one of Tennessee’s most beautiful wild creatures, put up a bluebird box during the month of March. COLD WATER A DANGER EVEN IN WARM WEATHER With the warmer weather starting to ease its way into the area, the thought of spring fishing is sure to cure many cases of cabin fever. Boaters should not forget to use caution while on the water during warm days, reminds the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA). Even with warming air temperatures, it will take some time for the water to warm up. Tennessee’s waters are still cold, with many reservoirs reporting surface temperatures in the low 40s. “This is a very deceiving time of the year that can result in hypothermia if you
fail to be careful while on the water,” notes Dave Gabbard, TWRA Region I Information Coordinator. “You need many consecutive nights of warm temperatures before waters become substantially warmer.” The most frequently reported form of boating accident in Tennessee and across America are boaters falling from their vessels or being tossed from capsizing boats. Studies show that as many as one-third of those who drown after falling overboard in early spring do so as a result of hypothermia, Gabbard notes. By taking proper precautions, those who fall overboard can live to file their own accident report forms. “There is something called the 50-50 law that applies this time of year that boaters should keep in mind,” says Gabbard. “If you fall from a boat into water that is 50 degrees, and you stay in that water for 50 minutes, you have a 50-50 chance of surviving.” While on the water, make sure you and all passengers are wearing a life jacket, and be careful with the way you maneuver your vessel and move about in it. If your boat is equipped with a “kill switch” be sure that it works and you use it. “Wear a life jacket at all times,” Gabbard emphasizes. “In addition to keeping you afloat, it insulates and keeps the vital areas of your body warm.”
DUI charge in Holly Grove collision By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com COVINGTON - A Covington man was charged with driving under the influence after causing an accident on Holly Grove Road Monday night. According to witnesses, a Ford pickup driven by 36-year-old Michael Edward Frizzell was seen swerving on Highway 51 in Covington before
turning on Holly Grove Road at approximately 8:45 p.m Frizzell reportedly continued swerving on Holly Grove before crossing the center line, hitting another vehicle head-on. The police report states when officers arrived on the scene, Frizzell smelled like alcohol and was unsteady on his feet. He was transported
to Baptist Memorial Hospital-Tipton where he submitted to a blood alcohol test before being booked into the Tipton County Correctional Facility. He was released on $1,000 bond. At press time, there was no word on the extent of injuries sustained by the 17-year-old female who was driving the other vehicle.
Tennessee wins Race to the Top funding NASHVILLE Governor Phil Bredesen announced today that Tennessee is one of just two states selected to receive millions of dollars for education in the federal government’s Race to the Top competition. The U.S. Department of Education announced Tennessee and Delaware as the competition’s first round winners on Monday. Tennessee will receive approximately $500 million to implement its comprehensive school reform plans over the next four years. “This is a landmark opportunity for Tennessee,” said Bredesen. “Our success in Race to the Top speaks to the commitment we’ve made to meaningful and significant improvement in public education, and the funds provided by the grant will carry us forward in a dramatic and positive direction.” Tennessee requested $501 million in its application. As one of the next steps in the process, the U.S. Department of Education will complete negotiations with successful states on their Race to the Top contracts to finalize award amounts. The $4.35 billion Race to the Top Fund is an unprecedented federal investment in reform. The program
includes $4 billion for statewide reform grants and $350 million to support states working together to improve the quality of their assessments. The Race to the Top state competition is designed to reward states that are leading the way in comprehensive, coherent, statewide education reform across four key areas: ▪ Adopting standards and assessments that prepare students to succeed in college and the workplace; ▪ Building data systems that measure student growth and success, and inform teachers and principals how to improve instruction; ▪ Recruiting, developing, rewarding, and retaining effective teachers and principals, especially where they are needed most; and ▪ Turning around their lowest-performing schools. Forty states and the District of Columbia submitted applications for the first phase of grants. Delaware and Tennessee were selected from among 16 finalists who presented their proposals to panels of peer reviewers earlier this month. The peer reviewers awarded the highest scores to Delaware and Tennessee. According to the U.S. Department of Education, they awarded Delaware and Tennessee high marks for the commitment
to reform from key stakeholders, including elected officials, teacher's union leaders, and business leaders. In both states, all school districts committed to implementing Race to the Top reforms. Delaware and Tennessee also have aggressive plans to improve teacher and principal evaluation, use data to inform instructional decisions, and turn around their lowest-performing schools. In addition, both states have put in place strong laws and policies to support their reform efforts. Tipton County Schools Superintendent Dr. Tim Fite said Tipton County will $1.9 million over the next four years. Bredesen expressed appreciation for widespread support for the state’s application by the Tennessee General Assembly, Tennessee Education Association, educators and education advocates, business leaders, and the parents and families across the state that want to continue to provide better opportunities in the classroom and in life for Tennessee’s children. Tennessee’s complete Race to the Top proposal can be found on the state Department of Education Web site at www.tn.gov/education.

Maintaining the quality of loaned grain This year’s large grain crop has its obvious up side, but there is a downside too. Many producers are hard pressed to find adequate storage for every bushel harvested. Overfilled grain storage bins can lead to grain quality problems. Bins are ideally designed to hold a level volume of grain. When bins are overfilled and grain is heaped up, airflow is hindered and the chance of spoilage increases. Producers who take out marketing assistance loans and use the farm-stored grain as collateral should remember that they are responsible for maintaining the quality of the grain through the term of the loan

Second Thursday Luncheon
Sweet Scentsations Bakery Sweet Scentsations Bakery, a little hometown bakery, opened in Atoka on April 15, 1999. Not a lot of fanfare, not a lot of glitter, not a lot of sales, but they kept on going through the tough first years. A good product at a reasonable price has always been their first goal. Arlene – with a love of art and a background in cake decorating, learned to merge the two and produce some truly beautiful cakes. Birthday cakes, with an occasional graduation or anniversary cakes, kept the business afloat for the first few years. Word slowly grew until people from Memphis and surrounding areas began to come for birthday, wedding and special occasion cakes. Warren came to work at the bakery full time in 2006, after many years of full time maintenance work in Memphis. All of those childhood and young adult years of making things with play dough helped him in all the fine detail work which goes with the toppers and characters for the cakes. Now Sweet Scentsations offers virtually any kind of cake, from simple sheet cakes to elaborate 3D cakes, and wedding cakes of any size and shape. Check out the website at ss-bakery.com or email them at mail@ss-bakery.com, or go by for a visit at 245 Commercial Drive in Atoka, telephone 837.4306.

Students at Tipton-Rosemark get laptops to help them learn By JUSTIN HANSON Special to The Leader MILLINGTON (WMC-TV) - In just a few months, every student at TiptonRosemark Academy will get a laptop to help them in the learning process. "There's no fear. This is the digital age and kids turn it on and say, 'I understand it won't break, so I'm going to push buttons and see what happens,'" said assistant principal Dr. Justin Whitmer. Seven hundred laptops will be delivered to the school this summer, just in time for the new school year. The MacBooks will be available for every student in grades one through 12. For 11th grader Colt Terhune, the laptops couldn't come at a better time. "I normally bring my laptop one to two times a week to school when I know I'm gonna have free time, so I can do things just for school," he said. The laptops are available to students at a lease of $400 per year. Teachers hope to see better test scores and say the computers will give students a chance to engage in their own learning process.

I can keep things...it’s a lot easier to keep up with something on a computer than it is in binders," added Jeremy Robertson, an 11th grade student. Groups of students will train on the new computers this summer. Then, the so-called "Mac Packs" will train teachers and other students about the new technology. "There's no longer an excuse for lost homework, because it should be right there on your computer," said Shaver.

Charger soccer in search of first win By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader Despite an 0-2-3 start to a long season, Coach Robert Luttrell has one of his most talented teams in his five years at the helm and is looking for improvement in the record in short order. With more than 16 games remaining on the schedule, the Chargers have plenty of time to right the
ship. It just takes time and they are close. CHS opened the season with a 2-2 tie at district rival Obion Central. That was a come from behind effort on two goals by freshman Bobby Van Cleve. After a tough 2-1 loss in the district to Haywood on March 18, CHS allowed the Tipton-Rosemark Rebels to stage a late 2nd half comeback to earn a 2-2 tie. Midfielder and senior captain,
Devin Anderson, had a goal in that game as did sophomore Colliar Robinson. Robinson is returning from a serious injury and only played about 15 minutes in the contest. Soccer, like football, is called for lightening, not rain. Such was Peabody and CHS last Thursday as the two teams slogged their way to a 2-2 tie. Zack Moffett scored both goals for the Chargers who led 2-0 at the half. Mof-
fett has been great in goal but is such a good forward that Coach Luttrell has moved him to the field. Friday saw the JV take down Bolton 2-1 with Paul Shaver getting both goals on penalty kicks. Coach Luttrell credits him as the best defender with the best leg on JV. The varsity did not fare as well as Bolton did them in 7-2 pouring it on in the second
half after leading only 3-2 at the break. Zack Moffett and Nick Owen scored the goals for CHS. The Charger JV team is 1-1 having defeated Obion 2-1 and tied FCA 2-2. Bishop Davis and Bobby Van Cleve each scored a goal against FCA. Mardrecus Dycus had both goals in the win over Obion Co.
Chargers split in Best of West; win over FACS By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader
Brighton coach Brian Oswalt waves Matt Carpenter home during the first inning of action against Munford on Tuesday. Carpenter scored and was the winning pitcher in a 5-4 Brighton victory.
Brighton sweeps a pair from Munford By JEFF IRELAND Sports@covingtonleader.com In the first inning of a pivotal District 13-AAA baseball game between Brighton and Munford Tuesday night, it looked like things might get out of hand early. The Cardinals loaded the bases with no outs and threatened to blow the game wide open. Munford pitcher Stephen Stewart limited the damage to four runs and the game ended up being close at the end. Brighton held off a late Munford surge to win 5-4 at home. The Cardinals also beat Munford on Monday night, 11-6, to sweep the season series and start the district slate at 2-0. “We started off the season kind of slow,” said Brighton head coach Brian Oswalt. “But they have come out fighting every day since then … This was a big win.” Brighton led 5-3 heading into the top of the
seventh inning when two errors and a base hit loaded the bases for Munford with no outs. Will Embry, who relieved Matt Carpenter in the sixth inning, then struck out Daniel Goulder, gave up a run on a fielder’s choice and then struck out Dillon Turner looking to end the game. The key play of the inning was a diving stop by freshman shortstop Matt Scott with one out. He got an out at second and likely prevented the tying run from scoring. The play preserved strong pitching performances from Carpenter and Embry. “Both guys pitched really well,” said Brighton catcher Charles Armour. “Campbell was getting his curve ball in the zone and his fastball was on … Embry did really well too. He had good command on his fast ball.” Armour was the offensive star for the Cardinals. In the bottom of the
first his bases-loaded double to right-center brought home three runs. Embry added an RBIdouble in the frame to give Brighton a 4-0 lead. Munford responded in the third when Stewart doubled and scored on an error. Mac McLennan scored later in the inning on another error to make the score 4-2. Embry drove in another run in the third inning to push the lead to 5-2. In the fourth inning Stewart scored from third when a throw to second on a steal was in the dirt. Stewart pitched well for Munford, but took the loss. He allowed seven hits, struck out six and walked two. Carpenter picked up the win, allowing just two hits and striking out six in five innings. “It feels really good,” Armour said after the game when asked about sweeping Munford. “I just hope we can continue this throughout the season.”
Lady Chargers on a roll at 13-1 By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader The Covington Lady Chargers took no prisoners in their district home opener against the Haywood Lady tomcats on Mar. 23 taking only three innings to dispatch the visitors 20-0. The 15 runs scored by CHS in the second inning came with two outs. Freshman Gabby Glenn tossed a no-hitter and sister Autumn Glenn led the way at the plate going three for three in the runaway victory. On Friday and Saturday, Mar. 26-27, the Lady Chargers crossed the border into Mississippi to display their talents in the Hunter Morris Invitational Tournament in Southaven. Display them they did as they swept the field to win the tourney going 5-0 on the weekend. On Friday, Sarah Cousar upped her record to 4-0 tossing a no-hitter as CHS
A17.indd 1
downed Lake Cormorant 5-0. Allie Moss and CJ Browder were 2/2 in the game and Autumn Glenn was 2/3. In the nightcap, Covington defeated Madison Central 3-2 behind the strong pitching of Autumn Glenn. She is now 4-1 for the year. Leading hitters were Gabby Glenn and Jamie Hollingsworth who were both one for two. CJ Browder got the hit that tied the game. The winning run scored on an error by the Madison 2nd baseman. In Saturday’s first game, Sarah Cousar ran her record to 5-0 with a one hit shout out of Lafayette in Saturday’s second game as the Lady Chargers rolled 13-0. She had nine strikeouts on the way to the win along with five RBI. Autumn Glenn backed her up going 4/4 at the plate. Gabby Glenn took the measure of Hernando High School, 3-1, in the
semi-final improving her season to 3-0. She allowed only one hit while striking out eight. Kaitlyn Ashburn was the batting star for CHS going 2/2 at the plate. The Lady Chargers made short work of Horn Lake in the championship game dispatching them 14-1 in four innings. Autumn Glenn gave up two hits and struck out five to go to 5-1 on the year. Sarah Cousar was three of four with four RBI in the game. Gabby Glenn, Allie Moss and Jamie Hollingsworth all batted two for three. Head coach Martha Lawler said post game that she was proud of the way that her team performed against these Mississippi teams. She was particularly impressed with their hitting. Allie Moss batted .583 for the tournament while Sarah Cousar and Autumn Glenn both hit .500. CJ Browder was at .462 for the weekend and Jessica Ashburn at .375.
As is usually the case during the Best of the West Tournament, rain conspired to keep CHS off the field until Thursday night. For the first three and half innings, the lack of playing time showed as the Chargers did not manage a base runner and were on the short end of a 2-0 score. Rossville surrendered a run in the bottom of the fourth after Jarvis Harwell led off with a single and came around to score on a throwing error by starting pitcher Drake Wimberly making it 2-1. Blake Caughorn was stranded at third to end the inning. Rossville regained the lead 3-2 in the top of the fifth without a hit on a two base error at short and a past ball. It did not last long however as the Chargers broke the game open with six runs in the bottom of the frame Back-to-back singles by winning pitcher Conner Faulk and Dylan Schlauch and a walk to Bobby Bailey juiced the sacks to open the inning. Wimberly then hit three consecutive batters to produce three runs. Two sacrifices brought in two more
runs before heath Hoffman’s single tallied the final Charger score of the inning. CHS added one more run in the 6th for the final 8-3 score. Jarvis Harwell was the batting star for the night going 2/3 with a single and a double. He also reached after being hit by a pitch. Conner Faulk went the distance for the victory. He struck out four and walked three. CHS got it’s second game of the Best of the West tourney on Saturday against one of the best teams Arkansas has to offer, the Batesville Pioneers. Boasting five state titles in their 20 year existence, Batesville plays with a certain swagger. CHS is not chopped liver sporting two championships of its own and led the Pioneers 2-0 through 3 and 1/2 before a five run explosion fueled by hit batsmen put the Chargers in a hole. Batesville added a run in the fifth and two more in the sixth staked the Pioneers to an 8-2 lead chasing starter Will Cooley who surrendered eight runs on eight hits. He had five strikeouts and eight hit batsmen in the game. The Chargers came roaring back with
six runs in the top of the seventh to tie the game at 8-8 but it was not to be as Batesville punched across a run in the bottom of the frame to take a 9-8 win. CHS reliever Heath Hoffman took the loss. He went two innings giving up a run on two hits while striking out five. Chargers roll over Facs 14-4 A five run second inning and a seven run fourth propelled the Covington Chargers to a 14-4 mercy rule, five inning victory over the FACS Crusaders at Chandler Memorial Field on Tuesday night. Conner Faulk went the distance for CHS allowing four runs on four hits. He walked two, hit a batter and struck out six en route to his second win of the young season. Charger bats were alive as they pounded out 11 hits in their four innings at the plate. Carlos Williams & Jarvis Harwell scored three runs each. Williams had two RBI as did Faulk, Cameron Dickey and Chad Lewis. Bobby Bailey and Lewis were two for two at the plate as CHS batted around twice in the game.
The Covington Boxing Club won 11 titles last weekend at the West Tennessee Golden Gloves Tournament.
Local boxers win 11 titles By JEFF IRELAND Sports@covingtonleader.com The Covington Boxing Club entered 17 boxers last weekend at the West Tennessee Golden Gloves Tournament in Jackson and came home with 11 titles, four runnersup, best bout awards, outstanding boxing awards, two sportsmanship awards and the all-around team championship. “We entered some new boxers who were a little over their head but they competed well,” said coach Jimmy Glover. “Three of them won championships … The little Nixon twins and Danzel Blevins won championships as did J.T. Terry and Tray Williams. Runners-up were Latonis Grandberry, Desmon Wakefield, Demetris Blevin and Jordan Grant.” Covington advanced boxers winning titles were Jamal Holland, Terence Currin, C.J. Robinson, Steve Cross, Thomas Hall and Anthony Campbell. These boxers
advance to Little Rock, Ark., for the Mid-South Golden Gloves April 8-10 to compete against fighters from Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana. Winners there advance to the nationals. There were three special bouts set up just for good competition. Holland took on former teammate Davion Rudd and lost a close bout. Currin lost a very close and exciting bout to Deundra Wood of Jackson. Cross defeated a 106-pound open boxer from Jackson. Holland and Currin won the sportsmanship awards and Cross won the outstanding boxer award. “I was really proud of this group of kids for the way they competed and for their conduct in and out of the ring,” Glover said. “This has really been a rebuilding year for us but a lot of fun too. In the next three or four years we will dominate this area if we can just keep these guys in the gym and keep them improving.” The team returns to action Saturday in Ripley.

Young band helps children dream of musical careers By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com The 2008 Colgate Country Showdown winners, Nash Street, performed at Tipton County schools on Friday, Mar. 27, before headlining a benefit concert for Project Play on Saturday night at the historic Ruffin Theater. The young up-and -coming band performs a mix of bluegrass and country and has opened for some of country’s top musicians. Performing first for fifth and sixth grade students interested in band at Crestview Middle School, the group explained how they each got started in music and what they have accomplished so far in their careers. The five members of Nash Street are all from Starkville, Miss., and started their musical
careers through school music programs. Nash Street performed to a packed gymnasium at Covington Integrated Arts Academy for an approximately 90 minute concert. “They are playing at the Ruffin tomorrow to raise money for Project Play and this is a wonderful thing,” said assistant principal Bonnie Wright to the students. “But today they are playing for us and this is quite a gift they have given CIAA.” The group performed several of their own songs they have written and some popular ones the students recognized. An amazing rendition of "Superstition" had students dancing and clapping in their seats and ended with the sound of thunderous applause. Each of the band members talked to the
students about how they started and encouraged the children to continue in their exploration of music. “That was fun!” exclaimed bass player Daniel Hare. “This is important for us because this is how we started. We were students just like them, listening to other people play and that’s what piqued our interest and love in music.” “This was the best audience ever,” added Ben Mathis, who plays guitar and sings. “They had so much energy and it's fun to be a part of possibly getting the next generation to start in music.” “I thought it was a wonderful gift,” said Wright after the concert. “I think the students enjoy seeing young people perform and enjoying what they do. I think they are going in their head, ‘Oh, I can do this.’”
Nash Street band members Clay Lezon, Caroline Melby and Ben Mathis perform at CIAA. Pictured left to right, Ben Mathis, Hannah Melby, Caroline Melby, Daniel Hare and Clay Lezon play their new song “Ghost” for students at CMS.
Covington High School crowns new beauty queen By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com Each year, the historic Ruffin Theater hosts the Miss Tipton County beauty pageant but Tuesday night its walls held a different type of beauty pageant to the delight of the hometown crowd. Student leaders of Covington High School’s DECA chapter and with the assistance of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital held a fundraising womanless beauty pageant to raise money to pay for a variety of DECA activities, including donations to St. Jude. DECA is an international association of high school and college students studying marketing, management and entrepreneurship in business, finance, hospitality and marketing sales and service. The pageant, a farce beauty review, featured 19 CHS male students in grades 9th-12th, dressed as females and escorted by young ladies dressed as men. “We need to raise money for our Oscar night and
we thought this would be a quick and easy way to get it done,” said DECA president and senior Porché Farrow. Each contestant, along with their escorts, was presented to the crowd using stage names, such as, Whyte Chocolate Chip Cookie, Gingivitis and Amanduh. Farrow said she really had to work to get contestants to enter the contest. “It took a lot of begging,” she said, laughing. “A lot were willing to do it because they’ve seen that it's fun. It’s fun to be in and fun to watch.” The Master of Ceremonies was CHS assistant principal Marcus Heaston and the hard task of judging the beauty of each “woman” fell to CHS faculty Vickie Fayne, Marlon Heaston, Janice Anderson, Summer Willis and Ashley Waits. During the talent portion of the competition, each “young lady” had to perform an entertainment act for the enjoyment of the crowd. Several acts received standing ovations, including Lady Haha (Brandon Oldham) whose dance routine to Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance had the crowd on its feet. Marketing and DECA adviser Davenor Caldwell was very pleased with the crowd turnout in spite of the many other activities students had for the evening. “We had just over 100 show up. We had a softball, baseball and soccer game all tonight and that hurt us a little bit but its still a good crowd,” said Caldwell. The money raised will also help students attend
DECA competitions throughout the year. “We try to help keep the cost of competition from coming so much out of their pockets,” said Caldwell. “This year our competition was fairly close, but we’ve had events in California and that gets expensive.” The judges had a tough decision and competition was fierce but in the end there can be only one winner. The title of Miss Congeniality went to Miss Beyonce Carney (Eric Carney). Third place was awarded to Little Ms. Delicious (Devin Thompson) and Sexy Beast (Scott Bowen). First runner up was given to Lady Haha and the winner of the 2010 Covington High School womanless beauty review crown was awarded to junior Stan Taylor as Miss Amanduh.

B4 • Thursday, April 1, 2010 • THE LEADER
Brighton By Debe Simonton 268-0091 Hello, Brighton readers, What a beautiful day and it is only suppose to get better as the week progresses. Everything is in bloom and every day there seems something else to add to the color palette. One of my favorite trees is the Yochino cherry. They look like a cloud on their dark bark. The contrast is what makes them look like a cloud. I can't remember a spring that the forsythia's have been as bright. I noticed the flowering quince at the corner of Woodlawn and Old Hwy 51 is fuller with its red blooms this year. I have been waiting for the buttercups to jump out across the street. It is usually a great display. Oh my goodness,
have I found out about some birthdays! April fool's day goes to David Tanner, and Frieda Robinson. I mentioned Eva McCall last week! A belated happy birthday to Sam Fuzzell! April 2nd to Staci Sullivan, April 3rd to Paula Hedgepeth and Connor Stroope, and my brother, Franklin Daniels is on the 7th. Get ready Denise Cartwright for the big FOUR ZERO on the 8th. Hey, if I don't know the dates I can't list them. So call me so I can list your request. Our prayers still need to go out to the Pate family. If you would like to send them a card they live on Wylie in Woodlawn Plantation. Also don't forget Verna Lou Timbs, Phyllis McIntosh, Joyce Tanner, Rebena Atteberry, Keith McClerkin, Eva McCall, Norma Columbus, my Aunt Francis Moore, and Crystal Gray. I noticed
Mt. Carmel/Clopton By Elaine Watkins 476-7093 It’s a mild Monday night. We had a cold, rainy, windy Saturday night and Sunday, then today the sun was out and it was beautiful! Supposed to get near 80 by the end of the week, but then it will be April! We got the floor down in the bedroom last week; just lack the quarter-round. Liz went to the doctor today for the first of her weekly appointments so we’re racing now! I can’t wait to get it all finished! Friday night Michelle Huggins Nowak drove to Covington to eat fish with us. That place was so crowded! It was good to see her and we had fun. The fish was great too. Saturday Elizabeth and I met with about a dozen other nurses from LeBonheur for a baby shower at an Italian restaurant. We played games and ate cupcakes after the meal, then watched her open gifts. Great afternoon. When I came home James had gone to Tanner and Chrissy Wakefield’s wedding reception across the pasture from us but he didn’t leave me a message or I would have gone over there. I just figured he’d gone to town to eat supper since I was AWOL. He had a good time and said they really had a big crowd there. My best to our newlywed neighbors! On our prayer list are Jenni Langston, Frelan Holbrook, Thelma Brown, Kenneth Mason, and so many more who are friends and relatives of our church members. And also our servicemen and women. The Easter egg hunt and Bouce event were yesterday for the church children since so many of them will be at Lads to Leaders next weekend. They will have dress rehearsal this Wednesday night. I always enjoy seeing what they are doing at the convention. This is the first year in five or six that I haven’t done the food room. Gave the job up when we found out the baby was due in April. Didn’t want to be out of town if she came early! The women’s Friday night dinner and movie club will see “The Last Song” in Atoka on Friday, April 2. Sympathy is extended to Cammy Evans in the death of her aunt, Midge Thomas, and to the Hart family in the death of Derek Hart. AGAPE is looking for administrative assistant, resident counselor for the F.I.T. program, and a social worker. If interested send your resume with references to Nicole N. Love, P. O. Box 11411, Memphis, 38111. Happy birthday this week goes to Marc Rimmer and Chase Kidd, who became a teenager, on March 28th(!), to Jaden Daniel on the 29th, to Sue Bringle and Casey Fletcher on the 30th and to Linda Kimbrough on the 31st! This from Marion Davis and Clopton United Methodist Church: Maundy Thursday Reenactment of The Last Supper will be on April 1 at 7 p.m. The Men’s Community Breakfast will be on Saturday, the 3, from 7:30 till 10 a.m. The Easter Egg Hunt will be on Saturday from 2 - 4, Easter Sunrise Service at Covington Funeral Home Chapel on Sunday with refreshments to follow and the Easter Cantata at 11 at the church on Sunday. Lifeblood will be at the church from noon until 2 p.m. “We are commemorating Christ’s giving His blood on the cross for us by giving some of our blood to help others.” They have had more cookbooks printed and they are $15. Let me know if you want one and I will get you in touch with Marion. Mary Spooner bought a cookbook and sent me a message that she reads the column and that her son was a friend of mine back in the early ‘60’s when she was teaching at Byars-Hall. I’ve tried to figure out who he was and had come up with Guy Yoe (?) Let me know if I’m right, Mary. Don’t know what your last name was then but got our a 1961 yearbook and recognized that last name! This week’s Farmer’s Almanac Quote: (more about chickens) “In general, brown eggs come from hens with red feathers and ear lobes; white eggs, from hens with white feathers and ear lobes.” Chickens have ear lobes?! I’ll have to look! I have to mention this from the Almanac also: to make pink Easter eggs, use beet juice; yellow; turmeric; orange, chili powder; brown, left-over coffee; yellow-green, water from cooking asparagus, along with water and a teaspoon of vinegar. Now we just buy the dye kit. “Thanks for Reading” this week goes to Mary Spooner, Karen Wall, Ivan Stephenson and Shirley Bready! Sa-lute! Have a Great Easter and remember that over 60 percent of us eat the ears of a chocolate bunny first! Until next week . . .
www.covingtonleader.com that Dollar General has cards two for a dollar. Walmart also has a collection for 50 cents. A card can do wonders for a person’s spirit. Let's lift them up with a card or phone call as well as our prayers. The hams for Brighton Football Boosters will need to be picked up on Friday, so don't forget. They will be at the school field house, next to the football field, after school. Also the Brighton Festival is still looking for vendors, trophy sponsors, car show entrees on April 24. Please call Jim Palmer for more information at 592-8925. The TCAP testing will be this next week. Prepare your children by making sure they get enough sleep and eat breakfast. Please talk positive about this to them as well. They hear enough negativism and feel that way as well, I'm
sure. It is something the school has to do so let's make it as pleasant as possible for everyone. Saturday will be a big day for our area churches. Many of them will have Easter egg hunts for the children. In the paper it will list different activities that are going on for this event. If you'll look under the community events this will provide you with information about our area activities. Otherwise, if you don't have a home church there is usually a section in the paper that is devoted to the churches that will give you a good idea of what is in your neighborhood or your religion that you practice. I hope everyone thought about what Jesus was going through this last week. He had been through a lot. And now when he had the power to change things,
Jamestown By DarSay Burton 476-1414 Greetings, Spring came: I missed its arrival this year. I’ve still got this flu thing. Found out that it is an upper respiratory infection, that combined with ear infections plus swollen glands in my neck all of this has been a bummer. After seeing my doctor and getting the proper meds, I am finally coming back around. Seeing spring for the very first time on Friday, enroute to the doctor’s, all I can say about it is wow. I especially love this time of the year anyway, probably got a lot to do with me being born in springtime. Mostly I just enjoy all of the lovely flowers, blooming tress which has busted out in their splendor. It’s always been one of my very favorite signs of spring. Once again our family is sadden over the recent loss of a family member. This time from our mother’s side. Her first cousin, Valeria Draine Tapscott, of Texas passed a few days ago. Valeria was one of 10 children born to the late Lee and Ada Draine of Jamestown. Our prayers are with her husband, John Tapscott and their two daughters and their families. Also our hearts are with Evelyn Virges, Juanita McClemon, Gwen Richardson, Robert “Bob” Draine, Rev. Glenn Draine and Ricky Draine and the entire Draine family. Minister Pearl Andrews brought the service on Sunday, “The prince of peace is coming.” After services, the family and friends of Gloria Sherrill of Covington was showered with a dinner in Atoka. Special guests were her sisters, Florene Trent and LaRue Albritton of Jamestown, sister-in-law Mildred Sherrill of Covington and several
Atoka By Mabel Smith 837-8017 Dear readers. I am so sorry that I didn’t tell all of you the night of the dramatization of The Last Supper. It just slipped up on me that last Sunday was Palm Sunday. The United Methodist men put on the presentation to a full house. It was wonderful. The Last Supper was presented in memory of Bill Langley, and his wife, Patsy, and two of their children, Connie Snell of Tupelo with some friends and Frank Langley and his son Jeremiah of Jackson. All in all it was truly a great production. Mike Schaefer did a great job of doing it. The costumes were made by Midge Schaefer, Patsy Langley and Gloria Smith. The Methodist church will have an Easter egg hunt on Saturday, April 3 from 10 a.m. until noon.
Gilt Edge By Bernadine McAfee Lee Young, wife of Jerry Neal Young of Texas, visited Gilt Edge recently with her sister-in-law, Carol Lumley. When she visits she always has to stop by Gilt Edge Cafe and eat. They went for breakfast. Rita Haislip had a birthday on March 30. Happy April birthday to Nalar May Glover, Connie Blyue, Don Billings and Mollie Bilings. May it be the best one yet. The children of Joyce Collins' recently made a visit to her grave site. Spring was her favorite time
he knew that in order for the atonement to happen he had to continue to see it through to the end. So he is forced to carry his cross to Calvary, where he is nailed to the cross and then it is lifted upright, where it is braced to stand. Not that this wasn’t torturous enough but they put a block of wood under his feet so he could rest the weight of his body. This only prolonged the agony of his death. Think of this a moment. His mother and family were there watching. As a parent, I can't imagine the heartbreaking pain. And believe me I have had some from losing my son and watching him go suddenly. And think about our Heavenly Father. He was capable of changing the outcome. He watched as His children crucified His Beloved, that wanted only to do good for his brothers
and sisters. How heart wrenching to think that your creation is capable of such a horrendous deed. Okay, Jesus is laid to rest in a tomb. The remarkable thing is He rose from this death. Mary Magdalene being the first to recognize Him. But He told her not to touch because He had yet to ascend to the Father. Now, where had He been for those three days if He had not been with the Father? Something to think about? Give me your view? He did appear to His disciples and so He was here for a while. Go enjoy the Easter holiday! Praise God for all of our blessings. And thank you Jesus for dying for me so I can have eternal life. Love you. Debe P.S. Don't forget to send in your Census Report!
family members as well as members of Bright Hill Church. A spring fling fundraiser was held for the Jamestown Community Health Organization at the Gilt Edge Community Center recently. Rev.

Almyra By Libby Click Hi everyone. Happy Easter. Hope yours is a blessed one. Easter is such a special holiday. Our Lord and Savior was crucified and arose for you and me. It's almost incomprehensible to understand such a great love. Sunshine has never been so beautiful. Waiting for it was becoming quite stressful. Besides watching all the basketball games, Charlie and I did have a good working day in the yard last Saturday. Still much raking to do. Speaking of basketball, or should we? Our Kentucky and Tennessee teams were not able to pull it off for the final four. They were both so close. We will continue to watch
Burlison By Eddie Kellum 476-2683 Hello from Burlison. My daughter Shanna was home weekend before last to visit. She only had enough time to stay for that weekend and it went by really fast. It was great to see her. Shanna brought a friend with her named Bethany. Bethany is a junior at King College. She said that coming to Tennessee was as far west as she’s traveled. Shanna took Bethany to Randolph to see the Mississippi River. Before church on Sunday morning, Bethany and I began to talk about where she’s from and where she went to school and it turns out that she
Dunlap By Kathy Keiter 476-7014
Greetings to everyone on this beautiful spring day! Is this weather magnificent or what? That snow scare here last week about made me whine again! But I think the Lord was just teasing us to make sure we really wanted spring to come! He has a good sense of humor you know. Sometimes I say “Lord, I’m not laughing, at what’s goin’ on here.” Then He reminds me that He’s in charge, not me! Then He sends these wonderful days with sunshine and no clouds in the sky and God is good! Please keep in your prayers Ms. Flora Martin. She should be coming home from rehab this week or next hopefully! We sure do miss you Ms. Flo and can’t wait until you get home!!! We are once again very thankful that everyone else is at home, and not in the hospital or real sick. Ms. Polly White is a little under the weather and she could sure use your prayers, but other than that, that’s about it! Thank You Lord for our health! Sometimes it’s easy to get down
them all the way through. "April showers bring May flowers," is the way I remember hearing it. It would be nice for them to come a little early since the ground is already so saturated. Well now we have another teenager in the family. Our grandson Chase Kidd became the big 13 Sunday. He and Zack played baseball all weekend. Zack got four out of five hits. Way to go Zack. They both won all their games. We also got to see our grandson Luke Scott run track for Brighton Tuesday in a tournament with Munford. Brighton won. Way to go Cardinals. Another little friend of ours received some very special recognition for all his great sport abilities as well. Adam Teems received two medals for first place in 333 and
is from South Carolina and went to the same High School where the main character from the movie “Radio” attended school and worked. In fact, Bethany says he still works there. Bethany says that the movie was just a movie and that neither the man nor the town was like the movie portrayed them. However, if you haven’t seen the movie, you should watch it. The story is about a football coach named Harold Jones who befriends Radio, a mentally-challenged man who becomes a student at T.L. Hanna High School in Anderson, South Carolina. Their friendship extends over several decades, where Radio transforms when you’re feeling so bad, but usually you can look around and find someone worse off than yourself! I would also like to ask you to pray for a dear friend of ours here at Dunlap, Mr. Jim Ruth. Mr. Jim has been calling our Bingo for the last few months, but he has had to stop as his health will no longer allow him to do the things he used to do. We miss you Mr. Jim and you are invited to come over and visit anytime! We have four birthdays this month, the first one is Ms. Louise Gupton on the 6th, Ms. Flo Martin on the 13th, (please say a little prayer she can be home by her b’day), then there’s Ms. Joan Pate on the 26th, and then last but surely not least is one of my favorite staff members, Ms. Darlene Davis (alias Arlene Marlene Charlene) is on the 17th. Happy birthday all of you! Hope you have a great day! Now, let’s get down to business. We need to talk about our May 1 “Springfest.” It starts at about 10 a.m. and everyone is invited. I do hope you get to come. It’s an exciting time for Dunlap as we get to visit with all kinds of people and listen to great gospel music, eat hamburgers, hot

from a shy, tormented man into an inspiration to his community. The main character “Radio,” whose real name is James Robert Kennedy, is played by Cuba Gooding Jr. Anyway the movie is a good human interest story and very entertaining. I thought it was extremely interesting that Shanna’s friend Bethany actually knows the real man “Radio.” My son Adam has gone to Gatlinburg, for the FFA State Convention. He will be returning late Wednesday evening. At the writing of this article, he is having an “awesome” time. The Tipton County Commission on Aging will be hosting its fifth annual senior talent redogs and all the trimmings, be able to buy handmade craft items, Avon, a cake auction, a raffle for a handmade quilt by Ms. Jean Smith, enjoy Ms. Patsy Fee’s famous fried pies, and much much more. What more could you ask for, as it just doesn’t get any better than that! So everyone put it on your calendar and come on out and enjoy your day with us! If you’ve never been out to Dunlap Retirement Center, that day would be a great one!!! Also bring your family and even your Sunday School Class! Oh yes, please pray for good weather! We are steady filling up our rooms and apartments, but we still have room for your loved one! I have had four phone calls today of folks trying to find a great place for their Mom or Dad, well this it, you have come to the right place! We love our folks out here and love taking care of them! If you need more information, please call me at 476-7014 and we’ll set up a time for you to come and take a tour! Until next week, please have a good and safe week and don’t forget to give that hug to someone that needs it!

I’ve been told if you’ve never attended a senior talent review that you should make plans to attend. You will thoroughly enjoy yourself. I received an email from a good friend the other day titled “Why go to Church” and I thought it was worth passing on:
like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me, I can’t remember a single one of them. So, I think I’m wasting my time and the pastors are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all.” This started a real controversy in the “Letters to the Editor” column, much to the delight of the editor. It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher: “I’ve been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals But I do know this, they all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given

HEALTH SOL Heart Health By Megan Kempe UT Family Medicine, Covington
Cardiovascular disease is any disease that affects the heart or blood vessels. It can include atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, heart attack, stroke, and high blood pressure. Cardiovascular disease is our nation’s number one killer, and one in three American adults has some type of cardiovascular disease. The state of Tennessee has one of the highest death rates in the United States due to coronary heart disease. Cardiovascular disease affects both men and women. Estrogen has protective effects on the heart, but women lose this effect at menopause and gradually become equally affected by heart disease after age 40. An individual’s risk for coronary heart disease can be calculated based on several factors that include age, gender, cholesterol, blood pressure, tobacco use, and the presence of diabetes. Total cholesterol can be divided into subcategories that include LDL and HDL cholesterol. LDL is also known as “bad cholesterol,” and HDL is known as “good
Kempe
cholesterol.” High LDL is a risk factor for heart disease, whereas HDL is protective for the heart, and increased HDL levels decrease one’s risk for heart disease. Optimal levels for cholesterol are as follows: total cholesterol less than 200, LDL cholesterol less than 100, HDL cholesterol greater than 40 for men and greater than 50 for women, and triglycerides less than 150. These guidelines can change based on personal risk factors such as diabetes and known coronary artery disease. So, what can you do to prevent heart disease? The American Heart Association describes the “ABCs of Preventing Heart Disease.” These are Avoiding tobacco, Being more active, and Choosing good nutrition. Cigarette smoking is the most important preventable cause of death in the United States.

Smokers are two to three times more likely to die of cardiovascular disease than non-smokers. The risk of coronary artery disease decreases significantly after one year of not smoking, and the risk is similar to that of a non-smoker after 10 years of not smoking. The American Heart Association recommends that individuals attempt to participate in 30 minutes of physical activity most days of the week. Physical activity can lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, and help maintain a healthy weight. It is important to remember, that something is always better than nothing when it comes to physical activity, and starting slow is a great way to introduce physical activity into your daily lifestyle. Try working in the yard, taking a walk when it’s nice outside, or taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Lastly, choosing good nutrition can positively affect blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, and weight. Choose a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fiber, lean protein, and lowfat dairy. Remember to talk to your doctor about your own personal risk factors for heart disease. In addition to encourag-

Tipton County Farm Bureau women celebrate Food Checkout Day Food Checkout Day, with its theme â&#x20AC;&#x153;Celebrating Safe, Abundant, Affordable Foodâ&#x20AC;? was first recognized by Tennessee Farm Bureau Federation members 13 years ago. This year, Food Checkout Day was celebrated in February. Farm Bureau members across the state commemorate
the time of year when most Americans have earned enough disposable income to pay for all the food they eat, both at home and away from home, for the entire year. The Tipton County Farm Bureau Women celebrated their Food Checkout recently. They
donated $708 of food to Carl Perkins Child Abuse Center in Covington. Nashville hosted the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state event, and they donated food to Ronald McDonald House in Memphis during Food Check Out week. Lisa McDaniel is Chairman of Tipton
County Farm Bureau Women and Caroline McDaniel is ViceChairman. Clay Kelley if President of the Tipton County Farm Bureau and David Templeton is Vice President. Donations were made by Farm Bureau Womens Committee, Directors and COOP.

Local rotarian competes PETS training Clay M. Crockett, Jr., President-elect of the Rotary Club of Covington completed the three day Rotary Multi-District training session Sunday, March 21 in Nashville. Mid-South P.E.T.S. or Presidents-Elect Training Seminar is a multi-state training session of the six Rotary Districts in Alabama, Kentucky and Tennessee. Rotary club leaders generally represent key community leaders throughout the world. Consisting of well known exceptional speakers, informative Roundtables and Discussion Groups, detailed district training sessions, fellowship and networking, the basic purpose of P.E.T.S. is to have the best prepared, most enthusiastic club presidents in the Rotary world. Annually, nearly 400 Presidents-elect
return home from MidSouth P.E.T.S. prepared to carry out their Rotary duties when they take office in July. Rotary is a volunteer organization of 1.2 million business and professional leaders united worldwide to provide humanitarian service and help build goodwill and peace. Over 33,000 Rotary clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas conduct projects to address todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s challenges â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including illiteracy, disease, hunger, poverty, lack of clean water, and environmental concerns â&#x20AC;&#x201D; while encouraging high ethical standards in all vocations.

Rotary also partners with seven prestigious Universities around the world, providing opportunities to earn a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in peace and conflict resolution. PolioPlus is Rotaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flagship program.
