Operation nets sex offenders, weapons By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com COVINGTON - A sex offender compliance operation conducted last week in Tipton County netted 16 arrests, dozens of weapons, ammunition, drugs and pornography, the sheriff’s office reported. Last week, the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office, in conjunction with agencies such as the US Marshals, visited the residences of each of the county’s 112 registered

sex offenders. “This is a compliance operation and we just want to make sure these people are living where they’re supposed to be living,” said Don Hankinson, one of just 36 US Marshals in the country specializing in sex offender compliance. “Our fear is that they’ve moved out of the area, out of the state, and aren’t registered.” Persons convicted of sexual offenses are required by the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act to

register with local officials as a means of tracking residences and activities. The act gives law enforcement the option to randomly check offenders for compliance. The first of its kind in Tipton County, Operation Compliant Offender began Thursday morning and concluded Saturday evening. Headquartered in the command unit in the parking lot at the justice complex, deputies and marshals worked in four-hour shifts, surpris-

ing offenders with random visits. Thursday, a dozen weapons were seized and seven arrests were made. Weary from a long day, the marshals and deputies were back in Covington early Friday morning, ready to get back to work. After a stop at McDonald’s for a coffee refill Friday morning, Hankinson and his team set off for 2259 Hwy. 59 West, the home of David S. Sullivan. SEE OPERATION, PAGE A2

The Beer Board of the City of Covington met on Tuesday, at Covington City Hall. The board clearly sent a message to underage alcohol providers that they will not get away unpunished. The meeting was called to order by the Chairman, Mayor David Gordon. Vice Mayor Ed Timberlake was the only Alderman not present. Three hearings were held on revocation of beer permits for the unlawful sell of alcohol to minors from previous sting operations by the Covington Police Department. The first was with Saher Mohammed Jaranduqa at the College Market and the second was with Ralph Watkins at Midway Market II. Both men had their cases in court on the same day where the charges were dismissed

with court costs due to a technicality involving a notification procedure not abided by the CPD. Both of the men had been cited for three separate offenses. However, unlike Jaranduqa, Watkins was not present during the underage selling or the undercover sting operation and was only the license holder for the store. He said before the board he had fired the person who sold to minors and his business had “been here for 39 years and this is the first offense I’ve ever had.” He also stated he did not practice or condone the selling of alcohol to minors. However, in the effort of fairness both men were given the same conclusion by a motion of a $1,000 fine to be paid in seven days or have their license revoked. Both men agreed to the motion that carried 4 to 1. The lone opposition to the motion came from Alderman Tommy Black who SEE BOARD, PAGE A3

Village development proposed in Munford By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com MUNFORD - City officials voted Monday to annex more than 300 acres of land after the announcement of a proposed housing development near McCormick Road. "We know develop will be coming to Munford with the construction of I-69 and we're planning for this property to have a mixture of uses, multiple lot sizes and different types of residential developments as well as a com-

mercial center," Brenda Solomito, a land planner representing developer Nick Brown, said during Monday's meeting of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. Proposed to occupy 373 acres from McCormick to Watson roads, developers hope to include age-restricted and low and medium density housing as well as a neighborhood commercial center. Age-restricted properties would be offered to persons 55 years of age and older, Solomito said. Residences are planned

as quadreplexes with stone facades and garages. The community may also be gated. Solomito said property management companies would handle indoor and outdoor maintenance of the facilities. She also said the development would include private clubhouses and pools. The 15-acre neighborhood commercial development, said Munford Mayor Dwayne Cole, would be limited to certain types of businesses. "You could have, say, a SEE MUNFORD, PAGE A5

The Leader needs your help The Leader is planning to publish a section filled with photos of local teams participating in spring and summer recreational leagues through Atoka, Brighton, Covington and Munford city parks and recreation departments. It’s a new spin on an old idea inspired by a commitment to bring back many of the community service elements The Leader was known for in the past. But since the last time The Leader published an edition like this, Tipton County has grown -- a lot. So have the leagues, teams and rosters. In short, there’s a lot more to it now than there once was. Pulling off full representation of all

teams will be impossible without your help. There are simply too many soccer, softball, baseball, t-ball and coach-pitch leagues to allow successful inclusion of all teams and all children without the assistance of the parents, coaches and league leaders. In fact, calls have been made to all departments, but finding someone who can and will help can sometimes prove difficult. So we’re asking for your assistance. And we really need it. We’re asking for readers, parents, coaches and league chairmen to work with us to ensure the children on your SEE HELP, PAGE A5

Continued from Page A1 Sullivan was not at the residence, but several rounds of ammunition were confiscated from the home. Convicted felons, it’s illegal for Sullivan and any other sex offenders to possess firearms and ammunition. Earlier that morning, nine long guns and two pistols had been seized at the home of Charles McClain, 1829 Kimbrough in Covington. Through the operation, deputies and marshals seized 41 weapons and 2,235 rounds of ammunition. Hankinson hopes the confiscation of weapons and spot checks will make Tipton County’s offenders think twice about violating the law. “Maybe this will put it in their minds that we’re out here and we’re checking on them,” he said. Other stops Friday morning lead Hankinson, US Marshal Paul Melson and Tipton County deputy Pete Arender to the homes of Jon Mason on Baskin Road and Donald Reburn on Elm Grove Road. Both were found to be in compliance. “He’s on the up and up,” Hankinson said of Reburn. “He’s the kind I like to see, where he’s supposed to be and doing what he’s supposed to do.” In fact, 88 percent of all offenders in the county were found to be in compliance with the registry. Though offenders are required to report to Deputy Laura Adkins, the local compliance officer, one to four times a year, it’s important to physically check a residence

for proof an offender is the actual occupant and isn’t engaging in illegal activity. “We gotta get out there and knock and talk,” Hankinson said. “During the checks with Laura, they bring their IDs in and tell her where they live and she has to go on a leap of faith. We want to be sure they’re living where they say they’re living.” By Saturday night, 16 offenders were arrested for being out of compliance, in the possession of firearms, drugs or child pornography. At a press conference Monday, US Marshals Regional Chief Mick Orr said the operation resulted in more safety for the children of Tipton County. Pointing to two conference tables displaying the weapons seized, Orr said, “What you see is a result of the operation. What you don’t see is the safety of the children in Tipton County and West Tennessee. They’re safer today and tonight than

last week. These offenders go after your children, my children and have a negative impact on our society all across America.” The operation did not identify any new child victims. The partnership between the sheriff’s office and the US Marshals Service allowed the operation to be conducted over and beyond the regular duties of the sheriff’s office. Deputies were paid overtime using monies produced from fees paid by sex offenders monitored by the department. The agencies called the operation a success and will continue their efforts. “We will continue to aggressively monitor the sex offenders registered in Tipton County to assure they are in compliance with the rules and regulations of the State of Tennessee,” said Sheriff Pancho Chumley. “Our goal will be to conduct similar compliance checks throughout

the upcoming year and reach 100 percent compliance. The message we’re sending to sex offenders is you’d better get out there and get compliant or we’re coming to get you.”

Covington women to pay The finest 67 rooms & $20K after TennCare fraud suites in the county. By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com

NASHVILLE - Two Covington women have been ordered to repay more than $20,000 after being convicted of TennCare fraud, the Office of the Inspector General announced Tuesday. In November 2009, Donna Jo Ralph, 62, and her daughter-in-law, Lana, 32, were indicted for both TennCare and food stamp fraud after Lana allegedly made false statements to the Department of Human Services in order to obtain benefits for herself and three children. The OIG alleged Donna aided and abetted her by presenting false information regarding her

son, Lana's husband, in order for Lana to qualify for the benefits. On Tuesday, the women were sentenced to repay $11,059.42 to the TennCare program and $9,586 to DHS for food stamp benefits received. Both women received pre-trial diversion, meaning they will not be prosecuted if they repay the state, said OIG spokesperson Lola Potter. Additionally, neither Donna nor Lana will be able to receive benefits from the TennCare or food stamp programs for one year. The OIG, which is separate from TennCare, began full operation in February 2005 and has investigated cases leading to over $2.5 mil-

lion paid in restitution and recoupment to TennCare, with a total estimated cost avoidance of over $171 million for the TennCare program, according to latest figures. To date, over 1,100 people have been charged with TennCare fraud. Through the OIG Cash for Tips Program established by the Legislature, Tennesseans can get cash rewards for TennCare fraud tips that lead to convictions. Anyone can report suspected TennCare fraud by calling 1-800-433-3982 toll-free from anywhere in Tennessee, or log on to www.tn.gov/tnoig and follow the prompts that read "Report TennCare Fraud."

BOARD Continued from Page A1 took issue with the ages of the undercover minors in the sting operation, which were 19 and 20 years, and stated that these ages were too close to the legal drinking age of 21 years to be ordering such a harsh fine on a first offense. The third hearing on a revocation of beer permit and selling to minors was for Issam M. Zorgui at L&S Express who had two separate offenses. Zorgui’s criminal case was not heard in court

like the other two. A motion to fine him $1,000 or have his license revoked was made, but Zorgui did not agree to it. Therefore a hearing will be made at a later date. The last hearing of revocation was on Robert Lee Adams at Ruff Ryders for allowing gambling on the premises. Adams had been in court earlier for the charge and plead guilty to the gambling. Alderman Black made a motion for a fine of $1,000 but withdrew this at the suggestion of Alderman John Edwards who pointed out that this was

the maximum punishment for illegal gambling, whereas the other fines approved were not. The maximum fine for selling alcohol to minors is $1,500. Alderman Black conceded on the issue of fairness. A motion was then made for $500 which Adams agreed to, and it carried unanimously. During the meeting, Alderman Bill Scruggs spoke of the importance of being tough on underage selling. “We have to set an example to people selling alcohol,” said Scruggs.

“If you do it (sell to minors), you are going to be fined.” Also at the board meeting, there was a hearing to grant a Beer License to Deborah Richardson and Cathy Humelsine for the business Lil Rascals at 1400 Highway 51 North, where the Smoke Shop used to reside, for off premise consumption. The motion for this passed unanimously, but the women remained through the meeting and were shown the punishments of a license holder who is charged with selling alcohol to minors.

Music on the Square kicks off Saturday By TIFFANY HOLLAND tholland@covingtonleader.com

This Saturday night, May 1, the Music on the Square will begin its annual run in Covington. Located in the historic Covington Court Square the event will have plenty of entertainment, food, drinks and fun for the entire family to enjoy. It will begin at 7 p.m. and will last until around 9 p.m. The first scheduled show of 2010 will feature popular local artist Ronnie Twisdale who will be performing music from the 60’s and 70’s. The Music on the Square evenings began in 2006. This was after Covington Mayor David Gordon had received a lot of community suggestions and input on having a weekly celebration that the whole town could be involved in and that could also take advantage of the aesthetic appeal of the court square. The square had once been a communications hub for previous generations where the main businesses were located and people would meet up and socialize. The Music on the Square attempts to bring back that small, hometown feel even as Covington grows bigger every year. Mayor Gordon and the Covington Tipton County Chamber of Commerce get together every year to make this event a reality. The City Maintenance department is responsible for the massive, yet appealing, stage that the musicians perform on and local community sponsors are credited with the donations for the musical entertainment that comes

to play every week. Last year, there would be anywhere from 300 to 1,000 people at one of the Music on the Square nights. “It is just a chance for people to be entertained with a family friendly show,” said Mayor Gordon. “You can see anyone out there dancing, from toddlers to grandparents. Everyone seems to enjoy themselves every week.” The event also brings attention to the new businesses on the Square, many of which have their store owners sitting outside their buildings with the door open, waving to people walking around the area. There is also a half-time period between musical performances where fun activities for children are offered such as chicken dancing, hula hooping and games. Several non-profit organizations and church groups will be on hand to sell food and drinks, but there is no competitive selling from businesses since the event is focused on bringing everyone out, even if people do

not want to spend money. The money collected by any vendors will be strictly for charity and non-profit works. Priding itself on being family-friendly, there are no coolers and no alcohol allowed at this event. However, people are invited to bring out their lawn chairs and dancing shoes for the evening. In the event of rain, there is no rescheduled event. Music on the Square will just go on as usual the next Saturday. In its entirety, the Saturday night party will continue for eight straight weeks until June 19. Impossible to miss if

you are driving through the Square on Saturday, the Music on the Square is free to everyone and open to the public. People are urged to come if they are looking for somewhere to take their family, or to support local community groups, or to listen to some live music or even if they just feel like visiting with people. “This is just a great way for people to catch up with other people from town,” said Mayor Gordon. “You never know who you will meet out there. There are always lots of familiar faces and that to most people is their favorite part.”

Pinpointing predators As a mother, I want to know everything I can about sex offenders. I want to know who they are, what they did, where they live and where they work. I want to know how best to protect my children and myself from predators. Other than locking them in the house permanently, what are my options? Thankfully, today's families have technology and legislation on their side. Through websites like Family Watchdog (www.familywatchdog.us) and the Tennessee Sex Offender Registry (www.ticic.state.tn.us/sorinternet/sosearch.aspx), information about convicted offenders is, quite literally, at our fingertips. Input your address, submit your search criteria and go. If you're like me, or if you're one of my neighbors, your heart probably sank into your shoes. All it takes is 30 seconds on the TBI website and I know that within three miles of my childrens' bedrooms are rapists, men convicted of aggravated OFF THE RECORD sexual battery, men who have been convicted of being in the ECHO D AY possession of child pornography and men who have taken indecent liberties with minors. These are just the men who have been convicted of these crimes, those who have registered with Deputy Laura Adkins. There are still others out there, those who have not been convicted and those whose heinous acts have gone unreported. An interesting fact is that anyone can be a sex offender – an uncle, a friend, a teacher – there is no look, no warning sign. And sexual abuse can happen to anyone. It's a scary world for parents. We want to give our children happy, wonderful childhoods and pray they are lucky to escape the evils that lurk in their neighborhoods. Our best defense is awareness. Get on the Internet and familiarize yourself with those registered offenders around you. Get to know your neighbors and make sure you know your child's whereabouts. Websites like Family Watchdog and Parents for Megan's Law (www.parentsformeganslaw.org) offer tips on how to keep your children safe. We can't protect them 100 percent of the time, but we can try our best. It's up to us.

Readers' Views No place like home Dear editor, There is no place like home. When visiting my daughter and son-in-law in Pittsburgh, I think fondly of my home and friends in Clopton and Brighton. Last summer and fall, I found another home away from home at the Dunlap Retirement Center. Many of us knew about Dunlap as an orphanage for many years. Too few of us know what a great resource it has become for people in their retirement years. For a variety of reasons, some of us are not able to continue to live on our own. Illness and disability may require us to have help with some of the basic routines of everyday living. Some of us are not comfortable without someone else in the house, we prefer the company of others every day. Dunlap Retirement Center gives us an option right in our own backyard. During my six months at Dunlap, I was impressed by the good food, the pleasant surroundings, the clean facilities, and, most of all, the kindness and concern of the staff. I felt right at home. And, because Dunlap is not far from my home, I was able to continue to be a member of my church (Clopton United Methodist), to help out at The Hub, to continue as a member of my book club and my garden club, and to frequently visit my home and friends. For me, it was the best of both worlds. If people in our community need to consider new living arrangements for themselves or someone they love, they should take a look at the Dunlap Retirement Center. They will like the beautiful campus and the beautiful people they meet there. It may provide the kind of support they need at this point in their lives. It sure did for me. Vivian B.

You had to be careful ’cause a road sign or mailbox would attack you for no reason. Out of ammo we flew to Mr. Ben’s gravel parking lot and swiftly crawled on our hands and hurtin’ knees searching frantically for round, smooth, slick marble sized gravel pebbles to fight this upcoming battle. Quickly filling our pockets to bulging we returned to the barn and staked out our positions as Rabbit and Lynn crawled up in the crib, started hollering and beating on the corn pile hoping to flush out the varmints. But to

We made so much racket Momma toured the furrow half way down through the garden to inquire what was going on. Proudly I told her, “we gonna’ kill us some rats.” As usual Momma wiped her hands on her famous apron and reminded us to be careful and don’t get hurt.

What Momma didn’t know was the sequence of events after she departed. All had come to do battle. Armed to the gills and frothing for a skirmish, hopefully not to be disappointed. We would have fought Br’er Rabbit and tar baby if they had showed up. Think about it, if there ain’t no varmints to fight and stump jumpers are antsy who is left to do battle? Do I hear a Southern Rebel Yell in the background? GLORY!

Census begins door-to-door By TIFFANY HOLLAND tholland@covingtonleader.com On May 1, census takers will begin going doorto-door to households that did not mail back their forms that were previously sent out by the US Census Bureau. They also will verify that housing units indicated as “unoccupied” by the postal service or others are indeed unoccupied and vacant, according the the US Census Bureau’s website. A census taker is a person from your community who is hired by the Census Bureau to make sure that your neighborhood gets represented as accurately as possible. The citizen’s primary responsibility is to fill out the questionnaire provided to them and have it mailed back to the Bureau, with an envelope with pre-paid postage that is included. According to the 2010 Census protocol for census takers, made available for anyone to see on their website, the census taker is giving a list of people who did not fill out the census and then

are required to visit all of those addresses and record the answers to the questions on the form. If no one answers at a particular residence, a census taker will visit a home up to three times and attempt to reach the household by phone three times. The census worker will leave a double-sided (English and Spanish) NOTICE of VISIT in the doorway that includes a phone number for the resident to schedule an appointment. They are only allowed to ask the questions that appear on the census form. Everyone is required by law to answer the questions on the census form. However, the census taker who collects your information is sworn for life to protect your information. Your information on the census is just collected for national statistics and is anonymous to people who receive the information. It cannot be used against you legally in any way. This information should only take a few minutes to acquire and it is very important for everyone to provide information to the bureau.

tin’ money made Daddy so mad he could sling a metal slop bucket all the way to Hagy’s corner. With some General Nathan Bedford schemin’ finally Daddy ‘busted one’ with my assistance. (I cheered). I couldn’t wait to brag about this experience to my friends. As you know, ain’t no way a redneck is going to be outdone in a good old fashioned rat killin’. Years later we relived this era as back ’en the rats grew the size of dinosaurs but now they expanded even larger. My friends came to visit this epic location of a ferocious killin’ right outside the crib in the stable. Proudly I demonstrated in my best Baptist preachin’ dissertation the hard fought battle and how I barely survived. Immediately we voted to assassinate some rats. Neighbor, we rounded up our tools for fighting with axe handles, heavy single trees, pitch forks, shovels, big knives for cutting stalks but we did not have ammo for our lethal sling shots. No redneck is going to be caught without a deadly single barrel or forked red rubber sling shot. Tied securely around the stock with white string

Detective encourages safety for motorcyclists By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com In the wake of an accident that claimed the life of Covington sophomore Ben Yon two weeks ago, Det. Pam Ford wants to encourage safety as a priority for all motorists. "The people in cars aren't looking out for us, they're not paying attention, so we need to look out for them," Ford said. According to statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, per vehicle mile traveled, motorcyclists are about 37 times more likely than passenger car occupants to die in a traffic crash. In 2008, 5,290 motorcyclists were killed—an increase of 2 percent over the 5,174 motorcyclists killed in 2007. And the number of motorcyclists killed in 2008 is nearly two and a half times greater than the number of motorcyclists killed in 1998. In Tennessee, motorcycle fatalities have increased dramatically as well. In 2009, there were 120 deaths compared to 42 in 1998. Statistics from the NHTSA show motorcycles made up nearly 3 percent of all registered vehicles in the United States in 2007 and accounted for only 0.4 percent of all vehicle miles traveled. Spring and summer are prime times for motorcyclists to get back on the road and Ford believes now is a good time to remind riders about proper safety procedures. "I think everyone should go through training," she said. "When I bought my bike, I went through training at Southwest Community College. It's easy to find a class." A bike owner, Ford believes following the rules can help avoid accidents and save lives. "If I'm following the rules, I know I'll more than likely survive." Some of the tips and reminders she offers includes looking ahead of you and knowing what's going on, wear the proper gear and be prepared for any situation. Most of all, she wants motorists and motorcyclists to share the road and be prepared for one another. "We want people to be aware of motorcycles," she said. "We're out here, watch out for us."

MUNFORD Continued from Page A1 doctor's office or dentist's office, but not a bank," he said. Solomito told board members the development group also plans to dedicate a new police and fire station to improve response times to the area "when the city is ready." Calling the project a "step in the right direction," Cole said he believes developers are presented a "good quality" concept and design. "We'll have ordinances that will allow them to be very flexible, that will allow them to do things but we will hold them accountable," he said. "Overall, I feel like we're getting a good product." In order to give the project a green light, the city must first annex the property. A vote to do so was unanimous, however a second vote and public hearing are required. The city will hold a public hearing on Monday, May 10 at 6 p.m. in the board room, located at 69 College Street. The public is invited and encouraged to attend.

PARKS Continued from Page A1 team or in your league are represented. You can take and email us a high quality photograph along with a caption of the names of team members, the league and the age group, or you can call us to schedule someone to come and take photos of your team. Obviously, doing this will require coordination as there are an estimated 300 or more teams in Tipton County. In other words, the more teams Leader staff can shoot per

schedule or site visit, the better. Our resources are limited. At present, Covington Dixie Youth baseball, Munford soccer and Munford baseball are covered. All other leagues remain uncertain. Help us pull off this feat and know that in doing so, the children athletes of Tipton County will get the credit and recognition they deserve.

Local children recently helped Children and Family Service release ballons in honor domestic violence victims in Tipton County.

CFS host balloon release event By TIFFANY HOLLAND tholland@covingtonleader.com The Children & Family Services, Inc. of Covington held a balloon release in honor of the Domestic Violence Victims in Tipton County on April 23. In spite of the cloudy skies, dozens of people turned out for the event. A balloon release was planned specifically for its symbolism. “We chose to release the balloons because it is a way of saying, just let go,” said Ruth Cohill, the organizer of the event. “It is not the fault of the abused women. They need to let go and have some closure. Our organization is here to help the victims” Danielle Mullins, of the Covington Police Department, conducted a short presentation about Domestic Violence in Tipton County. Mullins reported that the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s research in 2001 showed that there were 63,802 cases of domestic violence

“Crime Victims’ Rights: Fairness. Dignity. Respect.” reminds citizens of the core rights that all crime victims want and deserve—the right to be treated fairly and with dignity and respect. The CFS organization, which deals specifically with victims, will next host “Man-Up,” a picnic in the park on April 30 from 4 – 6 p.m. at Frazier Park Campus at 412 Alston Avenue in Covington. Various vendors including the American Cancer Society, Tipton County Health Department, Covington Clinic, Cannon Chiropractic, Americhoice, Volunteer State Health Plan and Pfizer have been invited and free stress test, cholesterol, blood pressure and HIV screenings will be done. The Covington Police, Covington Fire, Youth Villages, USDA, Bank of Tipton and UT Extension will also be on hand to share information. The event is open to the public and free food will be served.

Austin Peay Elementary hosts art show By TIFFANY HOLLAND tholland@covingtonleader.com An art show will be presented at Austin Peay Elementary School tonight from 6 - 8 p.m. in the school’s gymnasium and will feature artwork from every student in the school, feature giant replicas of painted works and have plenty of games and activities for the entire family. Jenna Lowery, the Austin Peay Elementary art teacher decided on this particular event to show the community and its parents what their children are studying in school. “It is really going to be eye-opening when people see what these children can do,” said Lowery. “This is just a public work for our community to show how creative our children are. It is not a fundraiser. It is free, but donations will be accepted.” According to Lowery, each grade level was designated with a specific artist and was directed to create replicas of some of the artists’ works. The Kindergarten class studied Spanish painter Pablo Pi-

throughout the state of Tennessee. Domestic violence service organizations, such as CFS, served 39,131 new clients that year alone and received 44,738 crisis calls and 53,712 calls requesting information and referrals for victims. These large numbers clearly show the prevalence of domestic abuse and the need for organizations like CFS. Children from the Jimmy Nafieh Childcare Center released the balloons because the month of April is also designated Child Abuse Prevention Month. The LEAD (Learn Empower and Develop) program at CFS provides support services to female victims of domestic violence that reside in Tipton, Fayette or Lauderdale County by responding to the emotional and physical needs of the victim, helping victims in understanding the criminal justice system and assisting victims with Tennessee Criminal Injury. President Obama proclaimed April 18 – 24 as National Crime Victim’s Rights Week and his year’s theme,

casso, who pioneered the Cubism movement. The first grade class was assigned to the impressionist painter Vincent Van Gogh. The second grade focused on Edgar Degas. The third, fourth and fifth grade had Henry Russo, M.C. Escher and Georges Seurat, respectively. The displays are not just paintings, but there will be several sculptures and a slide show of the students working on their art projects during class. There will also be hands-on activities such as a scavenger hunt that adults, as well as children, can participate in and have a chance to win a new art kit. Other artists than those previously mentioned will have tributes done by the children as well. The kindergarten class also did an example of the type of abstract expressionist paintings that Jackson Pollack created. There will be a huge Claude Monet collage from the second grade as well and a massive bottle-top collage from the fourth graders all on display. Basically, every single child in school will have their artistic endeavors for everyone to see to-

night. “This is a great way to show what our students are doing in school and to promote the arts,” said APES Principal Leisa Bennett. “It is such a huge part of the culture for them at school. We are glad to have people come out and see how creative the kids are.” A large screen will be up in the gym to show the slide show of the students. There are also several rented replicas of famous works of arts and their size alone is enough to make them unique, with many of them larger than five or six feet tall. The replicas were rented from Teacher Discovery so visitors of this event could see the original artworks the students’ based their work on. Austin Peay Elementary School is located on 474 Academic Drive in Covington off of Highway 14. “Just come for the cultural experience if nothing else,” said Lowery. “You can’t get something like this anywhere near here, just maybe at a museum in Europe.” There is no admission and everyone is invited to come out and take in the artistic atmosphere.

The Direction of Change

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH 5010 West Union, Millington, TN 38053 901-872-2264

Sunday School 9:00 am & 10:30 am Sunday Worship 9:00am,10:30am,6:00 pm

By Pastor Freeman Weems Sometimes change is opposed simply on the basis of tradition. In other words, some are against change just because it is different. The church has had some very positive changes in recent history. Sunday Schools are a relatively new thing in the church’s history as is the modern youth movement. Hymns as we sing them now were derided by those who were used to singing only psalms. So, not all change is bad. However, not all change is good either. There seems to be a bias toward throwing out the old way of doing things simply because it is old. This bias has given us some major conflicts in the body of Christ. There is a shift among some groups and churches away from traditional theology to something called the contemporary church movement. This nebulous theology includes the use of secular music styles and marketing methods to build the church. Dramatized sermons and even laser light shows have replaced old-fashioned worship and Bible exposition in some churches. Many have

even given up on the old Bible that brought them to the elevated positions they occupy and traded it for a "newer one, easier to read and understand." A bible that reads like a newspaper is unlikely to make much of an impact on the heart and soul of man. In reality the old true faith has been traded for a new watered-down version, Christianity light. When the love of God is touted as His chief attribute, you can be sure that there is a severe misunderstanding of biblical truth. The holiness of God is His essential attribute, sometimes called His central attribute. It is an established truth that when one becomes a believer that person is changed by the grace of God. 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." It seems a marvel to me that so many are willing to do away with the demands of Christ to satisfy the crowd. In the name of reaching the world, the church is rapidly becoming like the world. Unless we show the true difference the grace of God makes, why should the mass of mankind

be interested in our faith? You see, the aim of the grace of God is not to make us happy and satisfied. It is not to give us the desires of our heart, though God is certainly gracious to those who trust Him. The aim of salvation of the Lord is to make you different; in fact, it makes you positionally holy and is progressively making you so in personal sanctification. The truth is that if you are not different after your profession of faith in Christ than you were before it, you are not a believer. I would not be faithful to the Savior if I did not tell you this. While some changes are positive, much of what is passing for improvement to old-time religion in our day is not worth the effort. The rush to exchange the old for the new is dangerous. In the words of our blessed old King James Version, 2 Timothy1:13, "Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 14 That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us."

Mt. Carmel/Clopton By Elaine Watkins • 476-7093 It’s a cool Tuesday morning. As you all know, it was stormy last weekend. My prayers go out to those who had damage or lost loved ones, especially in Yazoo, Miss. We were in town around 2 p.m. Saturday and heard the roar and knew something was in that cloud we saw. After Clint got home he called to say that something had gone through Kelly Corner, that there was a big tree down in the pasture but that he and Dakotah were heading for Kentucky to the drivein. So James and I went and checked and we had no electricity and several trees were down on the fences. We worked until almost dark and Clint and James finished clearing Sunday afternoon. Ruth Watkins lost a tree or two and said that there had been a pear tree down across Mt. Carmel road earlier. Clint’s house was plastered with broken up green leaves on one side. Bruck Hazlerig said he and Kay lost six trees, if anyone needs firewood. It was nice and warm and I spent Saturday a week ago cleaning up the yard, the carport, the front porch and the deck. I got two ferns hung but haven’t put anything in pots yet. The cloudy cool weather has squelched my gardening mood but at least the sun is out today, even through it is very cool. Clint had gotten an electric hedge trimmer at a sale this winter and I used it to trim the bushes on the North side of the deck. We can see the barn now. They are redtipped Fitonias and they really grow. One of them that gets the most sun, is blooming this year so i went easy on it. Now to the big news that shortened my column last week. Lyla Grace Harrell is here. It took about 24 hours but she is here. Liz went to the doctor last Monday, expecting to get an appointment to induce. But she sent her straight to the hospital, no time to go home and get her bags. They called me to come down and stay with her while Justin came back to Covington to get her stuff and they started her medicine. But later they took it off,

because her doctor hadn’t informed the on-call doctor that Liz was there. So they said they would start it again around 7 a.m. We were disgusted, since they had originally said Lyla would be born around 2 or 3 a.m. So the three of us stayed up all night watching television and around midnight they started the meds again, saying she would be here at 7. She wasn’t born until 3:36 p.m. But she is a beautiful, seven pounds, two ounces, 201/4 inches long and has dark hair. James and Clint came right after they got Liz in a room and I took pictures of both of them with Lyla, who stayed in the room the whole time. Shelley brought Pop to see her that night and she got pictures of him with he baby. Also visiting were Mike Rogers, Mandy Daniels and Alan and Debbie Otts and Justin’s cousin, Deanna, from Ripley. They came home on Thursday and I’ve been lucky that we’re not planting yet and I’ve seen her every day except Sunday. I can’t stay away. She goes for her first check-up today. We appreciate Paulette Watkins, Bonita Rogers and Dale Laxton for delivering food to them when they first got home. I took Frankie to the vet Thursday and we got her fixed, so we are out fo the Dachshund business. She was five in January and it actually turning gray so we retired her. She is doing well and gets her stitches out next Wednesday. She also got her rabies shot, her heartworm test and her claws trimmed while she was there. My sincere sympathy goes to the family and many friends of John A. McIntyre. It was standing-room only at his funeral on Sunday. He was so well-known in the community and county and he will be missed by many. That family is in my prayers. Sympathy goes to all the friends and family of Dr. Elliston. I had a big time with him working on his interview for my book. He was a great man; they don’t make ‘em like him anymore. Also to the family and all the friends of Ben Yon. I can’t put into words how

sorry I am for their loss. They are in my prayers also. The women at the Covington Church of Christ had a bridal shower for Caileigh Cook on Sunday. She and Mitch Irwin will be married on June 5. Every time I go to a bridal shower I want to get rid of all my dishes and get new ones. I wish for this couple many years of happiness. I’ve known Caileigh all her life, she’s a daughter of Andrea Edmonds Cook and granddaughter of Jim and the late Faye Edmonds. Jenni Langston is awaiting test results and Kenneth Mason got good results back from his tests. Happy birthday (two weeks’ worth) to Alan Kinningham and Mitch Rogers on April 18, Ann Chapman and Ashley Whaley on April 19, LaVerne Baxter on April 21, Jennifer McMahan on April 23, Ian Keith on April 25, Sonyia Rimmer on April 27, Judy McCool on April 29 and Erin Evins on May 1. Happy anniversary to Jerry and Kelly Melton on April 18, Ben and Hope Collins on April 19, Bruce and Fay Hazlerig on April 20 and to Ken and Judy McCool on April 25. This from Marion David and Clopton United Mehtodist Church, located at 5285 BrightonClopton road. Saturday, May 1 the youth of the church will have a huge yard sale from 7 a.m. until everything is sold. And while you are there you can grab an all-you-caneat breakfast, cooked by the men of the church, for a donation only. That goes from 7 - 10 a.m. Sounds like a fun Saturday morning. Hope the rain stays away. This week’s farmer’s almanac quote: “Cut a few straws from a new broom to use later for testing cakes.” Remember - new broom. “Thanks for reading” this week goes to Chris Christmas and Ruth Watkins. Sa-lute. I can’t believe Saturday is May. I guess first four months of the year went by quickly waiting for the baby. And time will surely go by fast as she grows up. Before we know it she will be in kindergarten. Got to go get ready to go to the dentist. Teeth cleaning time. Until next week.

Adult Developmental Center By Floyd Columbus The Go Club donated a gift card from Walmart for the center to use. The staff and service recipients appreciate their love and friendship very much. Staff and service recipients want to thank Geraldine Boyd for the hot dogs, potato chips, cake and ice cream she brought out for Tammy Boyd's birthday. We appreciate her love and kindness. Everyone also wants to thank Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Strahan for the fish sticks, cole slaw, rolls, macaroni and cheese, cake and ice cream they brought for David's birthday. The lunch was very delicious.

Staff and service recipients went to Dollar Tree to purchase items and learn about money management. Afterwards they went to McDonald's to purchase a drink. They went to the Christian Book Store and also purchased some items. To end the day, they stopped by the Tipton County Commission on Aging to visit with the seniors. On April 21 the staff and service recipients went to Gilt Edge Cafe to eat. Staff and service recipients watched a video on television in Mrs. Debra Poiner's and Jerry Fayne's room on April 16. Staff and service recipients will be going on a picnic to

Glenn Springs Lake on April 30. Weather permitting that is. We have a new stove that was purchased for the center. We want to thank all involved with the purchase of the electric stove. Heartfelt thanks to the Tipton County Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Huffman, Lee Johnston, Mr. Otter for the office supplies. Until next time Floyd Columbus

Bailey inducted into society Walter Thomas Bailey, of Covington, was recently inducted into the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi at the University of Tennessee at Martin. Membership is based upon academic achievements and exemplary character. Those eligible include graduate students in the upper 10 percent of their class, seniors in the upper 10 percent, and juniors in the upper 7.5 percent.

Local student gets unique look at U. S. Naval Academy ANNAPOLIS, Md.The U.S. Naval Academy (USNA) invited a select group of approximately 2,250 young men and women from around the nation and internationally to attend the Naval Academy Summer Seminar program this year. Summer Seminar is a fast-paced experience for high achievers who have completed their junior year in high school and are considering applying for admission to USNA after graduation. Tyler Hendrickson, a student and golf team captain at Brighton High School will participate in the 2010 U.S. Naval Academy Summer Seminar program June 4. Summer Seminar teaches prospective applicants about life at the

Naval Academy, where academics, athletics, and professional training play equally important roles in developing our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leaders. Each student will attend a six-day session and experience a part of USNA life. Students in the program live in Bancroft Hall (the dormitory in which all USNA midshipmen live), eat in the dining hall, participate in academic and leadership workshops and participate in daily physical training involving group runs and conditioning exercises. They will have an opportunity to see first-hand what the Naval Academy has to offer through its exceptional academic, athletic, extracurricular activities and leadership training pro-

grams. Summer Seminar has an academic focus, with each student attending eight 90-minute workshops, covering subjects from information technology, naval architecture and mechanical engineering, to oceanography, mathematics, history and meteorology. Students will also participate in seamanship and navigation classes and will take an actual cruise aboard a Navy Yard Patrol (YP) Craft to apply what they will learn in class. Naval Academy students (midshipmen) run Summer Seminar with oversight by active-duty Navy and Marine Corps officers. Founded in 1845, the Naval Academy is a highly competitive four-year undergraduate institu-

tion that prepares young men and women morally, mentally and physically to become officers in the Navy or Marine Corps. Upon graduation, Naval Academy midshipmen receive a Bachelor of Science degree in one of 22 majors and a commission as ensigns in the U.S. Navy or second lieutenants in the U.S. Marine Corps. In return, these young officers will serve at least five years of exciting and rewarding service to the nation.

BHS student named national merit finalist Matthew Johnson was recently named a 2010 National Merit Finalist. The National Merit Scholarship Program will now choose 8,200 Merit Scholarship winners from the group of 15,000 Finalists across the United States.

Once they are selected as a Semi-Finalist, the students must complete a rigorous application process which includes level of classes taken and grades made, involvement in extracurricular activities, recommendation letters, and community service.

These students from Tipton-Rosemark Academy were chosen to attend GovernorĘźs School this summer. Sam Watson will attend for Emerging Technologies at Tennessee Technological University in Cookeville, Maggie Robertson will attend for the Scientific Exploration of East Tennessee Heritage at ETSU. Rachel Vernon was selected as an alternate for dance.

Motorcycles for sale are lined up at the Big Creek Motorsports, located at 63 Big Creek Drive in Munford. Photo by Tiﬀany Holland

Big Creek Motorsports is more than just a store By TIFFANY HOLLAND tholland@covingtonleader.com On 13 acres of land off the highway, there is a massive garage where the grill is usually fired up and the stereo is blasting the likes of Lynard Skynard and Bob Seger. This is nobody’s house party either — this is the location of Big Creek Motorsports, Inc., a new custom motorcycle dealership for motorcycle purchases, custom painting, custom builds, repairs, parts and apparel. Opened on March 1 with a crowd of 4,000 people, Big Creek Motorsports is the largest Sucker Punch Sally’s dealership in the world. Located at 63 Big Creek Drive in Munford right off of Highway 51(S), the store features full services, parts, accessories, apparel, insurance and warranty coverage for motorcycles. There are certified Harley Davidson Master mechanics on-hand as well a full custom paint shop with everything from airbrushing to old school designs. One of the custom painters, Dave Barnett, is one of the most wellknown in the area and even painted the bikes of legendary motorcycle stuntman, Evil Knievel. He has also painted custom builds for Paul Cox of the Indian Larry shop. Along with the Sucker Punch Sally bikes, Big Creek Motorsports also sells used Harley Davidson motorcycles and can provide maintenance, parts accessories and apparel for motocross and four-wheelers. They are a drag specialties and

Parts Unlimited Dealer. One of the most popular aspects of the store is the mobile DYNOJET Dyno, with it they can tune, custom tune or race tune any motorcycle on the market. The business was the brainchild of a group of three retired chiefs from the Navy, who are also longtime riders. Owners Jim Brickley, Don Barnett and John H. Clark Jr. said they always wanted a custom motorcycle shop and that Tipton County was a prime place to do this. “There was a huge need for a business like this here,” said Brickley. “For motorcycle riders to get service or just buy apparel, they had to go all the way to Memphis or Jackson. Now local riders don’t have to make that long trip. We can fill all their needs here.” The owners are retired military men and they have not forgotten where they came from. Big Creek Motorsports offers military discounts and hope to have future fundraisers for homeless veterans. Every month they hold a charity event, with last month’s being for breast cancer. On June 22, Chuck Palumbo of World Wrestling Entertainment will perform at the store with his band, during his Ride Across America raising awareness for wounded veterans. There is expected to be several thousand in attendance. Brickley will also be participating in the Hoka Hey Challenge, which is a 7,000 mile endurance bike ride in seven days on one of the Sucker Punch Sally Swingers, which will be broadcast on the SPEED Channel.

The store also caters to female riders, something very rare in this area. There are women’s accessories, apparel and bikes to suit the ladies. “There was a woman in here the other day who was five feet tall,” said Brickley. “But we still found a bike for her to be comfortable on and could put both of her feet flat on the ground.” While Big Creek Motorsports is a booming new business, it has the look and feel of your grandfather’s garage. Designed to be a warm, friendly,x non-corporate environment, it has all the charm of a local hangout. There is a room just for a pool table and plenty of places just to sit back and relax with your friends. Starting in May, every Thursday there will be a Bike Night/Cruise In where bikers and hot rodders from the area come to eat, drink, listen to good music, have pool tournaments, throw horseshoes and sit around a bonfire to trade tales. With the store owning a vast amount of land, there is plenty of room for biker groups to have meet-ups and are welcome to do so. All they have to do is contact the owners. “We want this to be a place where riders can feel free to come and just hang out,” said Barnett. “We love to hear stories from other people’s lives. It is a great place to congregate.” For more information on Big Creek Motorsports, you can go by the store or check out their website at www.bigcreek-

Renfroe too tough for Lady Cardinals By JEFF IRELAND Sports@covingtonleader.com The Brighton Lady Cardinals knew what they were getting into when Trinity Christian Academy, one of the best softball teams in the state, came to town for a Tuesday night game. Brighton played TCA

in a tournament earlier in the year and twice in the preseason. Ellen Renfroe struck out 12 and allowed just one hit and three base runners as TCA pulled away late for an 8-0 win. “She’s as good as anybody we’ve faced,” said Brighton head coach Robin Jacobs. “It seems like all of our losses have

come against pitchers like her.” Brighton (23-9) trailed just 3-0 until TCA broke the game open with five runs in the top of the seventh. The Lady Cardinals only hit of the game came when Caroline Jacobs led off the bottom of the first with a bunt single. Leanna Coulston

was hit by a pitch in the third and Britt Sanford reached on an error in the fourth. Coulston went the distance for Brighton, striking out eight and allowing just two hits until the seventh inning when TCA added four hits. Brighton (5-1 district) gets back to district play Thursday against

Dyer County and Friday against Munford. Both games are at home and start at 6 p.m. If Brighton wins both, the regular season district title will be theirs. In another game: Brighton lost at Munford Friday night 1-0. A double by Paige Barnes in the seventh inning and a Brighton

fielding error led to the winning run. Coulston struck out nine and allowed just three hits in seven innings. Alex Stanford pitched well for Munford, allowing just two hits and striking out four. Coulston had a triple in the game and Megan McDivitt doubled.

Perry nails down win for Cardinals By JEFF IRELAND Sports@covingtonleader.com Brighton led the state-ranked and district-leading Dyer County Choctaws 5-1 Tuesday night at home when the fifth inning began. But considering the Choctaws are the defending state champs and were undefeated in district play, there was a sense the would make things interesting. And they did. That’s when senior pitcher Garrett Perry took control. He entered the game with two on and two out and the lead down to 5-4. A ground ball got the Cardinals out of the inning with a 5-4 lead that would prove to the final margin of victory. “Closing is my thing,” said Perry, who retired the side in order in the sixth and struck out the final batter of the game with the tying run on the third to record the save. “I like those situations … That was a big win for us.” Brighton got on the board in the first inning when Daniel Fleming doubled home Landon Jividen and Charles Amour, both of whom singled. In the third Matt Scott, Armour and Fleming had consecutive singles and Dylan Hobbs roped a two-RBI double to make the score 5-0. Will Embry pitched four and two-thirds strong innings to earn the win for the Cardinals. It was the end of a long and trying seven days for Brighton head coach Brian Oswalt. His mother’s home in Mississippi was destroyed by a tornado last week and he spent several days down there helping his family. No one was injured, but it was clearly a tough time for his family. “I’m worn out right now,” said Oswalt, who missed Monday’s game against Dyer County, which Brighton lost 7-2. “I’m on like no sleep right now.” “The win moved Brighton to 13-13 overall and 4-4 in district play. Brighton plays Thursday at Millington and Saturday at home at 3 p.m. for Senior Day against Bolton. The win over Dyer County should give the Cardinals some momentum heading into next week’s district tournament. “It was a big win for us because they were undefeated in the district,” said Oswalt. “I knew if we had the right combination of pitchers and hit the ball, we’d have a chance.” “This is a big confidence booster for us,” said Perry. “We always get hot this time of year.”

Soul football team beats Acadiana 30-6 The Memphis Soul Women’s tackle football team (www.Soulfootball.com) played its home opener on Saturday night at Brighton High School, improving their record to 3-0 after posting a 30-6 win over the visiting Acadiana Zydeco form Lafayette, Louisiana. The Soul received the opening kickoff and moved the ball down the field putting together a 60 yard drive to score the first touchdown of the game on a short sweep by tailback Jessica Plunkett. Tanya Dean added 2 more points running off tackle for the extra point conversion as the Soul took an early 8 point lead. The visiting Acadiana team was quick to respond, taking advantage of a short field on their way to the end zone, which they accomplished by completing a pass out in the flats for their first and only score of the game. The Memphis Soul offense scored twice more in the first half, converting both of their extras point attempts to head into

CHS battling for tennis championships By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader Coach Eva Dale Williams’ tennis teams have had outstanding seasons.

They will face off against the north sub-district champion on April 29th to decide the District 14 A-AA team Champion. On the ladies side, their win over Haywood on April 22nd forced a showdown match on April 26th to determine the south sub-district title for April 26th. A CHS win will put them in the District 14 A-AA Championship match against the north sub-district champion on April 29th. April 20 Crockett Co. @ CHS The CHS ladies won their match 5-2.

On the men’s side, William Eaves, David McCullough, Chris Sullivan, Gerald Dyson and Omari Clay were all winners in their singles matches. The doubles team of McCullough and eaves was also victorious. The men won 7-0 including forfeits as Crockett Co. did not have a full

complement of players. April 21 Ripley @ CHS CHS won the ladies match 7-0 with Rachel Nance, Rhett Watson, Haley Blalack, Conner Guerrant and Erin Lopez all winning in singles matches. The doubles team of Nance and Libby Long continued their winning ways while the team of Guerrant and Coulston won as well. David McCullough, William Eaves and Chris Sullivan were winners in men’s singles. The men’s doubles team of Eaves and McCullough continues to torture opponents as they downed their Tiger counterparts. The CHS men won 4-3. April 22 Haywood @ CHS The Charger ladies did what they had to do avenging their only south subdistrict loss of the season by downing the Lady Tomcats 4-3 to force a playoff for the sub-district championship. Rhett Watson and Haley Boswell won in singles and Watson and Haley Blalack and Libby Long and Erin Lopez came through in doubles to give the Lady Chargers the narrow victory. With matches and forfeits against a short-handed Haywood team, CHS came away a 6-1. winner. William Eaves, David McCullough and Chris Sullivan won their singles matches.

Lady Chargers continue to win By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader The Lady Chargers gained the notice of area sportswriters this week. They were atop the Memphis Commercial Appeal’s Super Six ranking of area girl’s softball programs. It is a first for Coach Lawler and her squad. April 22 CHS 8 Halls 1 Autumn Glenn ran her season record to 13-1 against the Tigers allowing 3 hits while striking out 8 with no walks. CJ Browder, Karlie Sorrentino, Sarah Cousar and Gabby Glenn each contributed a pair of hits. The Lady Chargers suffered a defensive and offensive setback during the game losing Bailey Morgan to a thumb injury. According to Coach Lawler she may be out for as much as two weeks. “ It’s a blow’, Lawler said, “ but real women learn how to deal with adversity, so we’ll see who steps up for us while Bailey is out.” With the win, CHS improved to 33-1 on the season. April 26 CHS 9 Munford 5 Sarah Cousar notched her 15th victory at the expense of the Lady Cougars. She allowed 9 hits and walked 1 while strik-

ing out 7 in helping CHS to its 34th win of the season. Gabby Glenn was 3 for 4 at the plate. CJ Browder, Karlie Sorrentino and Jessica Ashburn had a pair of hits apiece. April 27 CHS 10 Munford 0 Senior Night is one of the most special in any sport and the Lady Chargers made sure it was so on this night as they closed out the Lady Cougars in 5 innings 10-0 behind a 3 hit shut-out performance from Autumn Glenn as she racked up her 14th win of the season against 1 defeat. Glenn struck out 2, walked 2 and hit a batter. The CHS defense was a little shaky committing two errors in the infield. Cougar runners reached 3rd base twice in the late innings but Glenn was able to put out the fire with harmless fly balls. Sarah Cousar made the most of her Senior Night with 4 RBI on 2, 2 run homers. She also scored 3 runs. The other senior in the game, CJ Browder, had a pair of singles and scored twice. Bailey Morgan, sidelined for her last home game as a senior with an injury, was in the lineup for one pitch. Gabby Glenn was 3 for 3 on the night. CHS pounded out 13 hits en route to improving their record to 35-1. Upcoming games (district*) 4/28 CHS @ Dyersburg 5:00 pm* 4/30-5/1 CHS @ Jackson Northside Tournament TBA

Fan page helps to reunite lost dog with owners By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader. com COVINGTON – There's no doubt that consumption of social media and networking is growing by leaps and bounds – and the story of a lost dog gives a great example of why online interaction is growing. On April 8, Megan Price sent her children off to school and went to her front porch to bring her Poodle-Bischon Frise mix, Jaxon, inside. But Jaxon wasn't there. "His lead was laid on our porch," she said. "He doesn't have thumbs and he couldn't have undone it himself, that's how I know he was taken." Price, who lives near the intersection of Rosedale and Crestview streets, began searching for Jaxon around her neighborhood, but came up empty-handed. "He just never came home," she said. Calls to the animal shelters in Brighton and Covington turned up no results. Desperate to find her family's beloved pet, Price also posted an advertisement on the Internet classifieds site Craiglist,

but she didn't receive a single phone call. "My son was recently diagnosed with a brain condition and this really, really upset him," Price explained. More than 10 days after his disappearance, Jaxon would return home, thanks to the power of social networking site Facebook. With more than 400 million active users, Facebook is a social utility helping people communicate more efficiently with their friends, family and coworkers. Through the creation of a Facebook fan page almost 14 months ago, The Leader joined the ranks of those businesses and individuals on the social networking bandwagon. This medium adds another dimension to the paper's coverage and allows for increased interaction with readers. In two months, the

fanbase has grown exponentially, from 300 fans to more than 1,925. And one of those fans facilitated the reunion between Jaxon and the Price family. On April 18, Crestview Elementary School teacher Michelle Naifeh posted a message on The Leader's fan page, letting other users know she'd found a dog in Covington's Historic District. "Jaxon was found in my husband's parent's fenced backyard on South Maple," said Naifeh. "(He) was such a friendly and well behaved dog, great with kids, cats, and other dogs, so I knew he had to belong to someone. I figured The Leader fan page on Facebook would be the quickest way to get the information out around town." Price was catching up with Facebook updates when she saw Naifeh's post.

"I looked and there sat her post," Price said. "My heart stopped and I said, 'Please let it be him!'" Price said she sent Naifeh a message through the site's messaging feature, giving Naifeh a full description of the dog. At last, Jaxon had been found. "She called to tell me, 'I think I have your baby,'" Price said. "I was very excited when I read Megan's message and couldn't dial the phone fast enough," Naifeh said. The following day, the Price family went to Naifeh's home to pick Jaxon up. Price said she didn't tell her children where they were headed. "We didn't even tell him we were going to pick the dog up. (Naifeh) walked and they saw him, then they immediately started screaming, 'Jaxon!'" Naifeh said taking the dog to a shelter wasn't an option for her family and hopes someone else would do the same if one of her fuzzy family members was lost. "We would have fostered Jaxon until a home was found if no one claimed him," said Naifeh. "I smile every

time I think about returning Jaxon to his family. My kids were just as happy as I was, they even cried happy tears." Separated from Jaxon for 11 days, the Price family was glad to have him back. "My little boy thanks her every single day," said Price. Though Covington and the other cities and communities in Tipton

County are close-knit, the power of social networking is that it can make a small town even smaller. "This would have never happened in Memphis, we would have never seen Jaxon again," said Price. "I'm very thankful for the Facebook page." The Leader's Facebook fan page can be accessed at http://www.facebook. com/covingtonleader.

Hi there! My name is Hope and I am about 1 yr old. I was rescued and am being fostered with other dogs, cats, and children (ages 3 - 9). I am spayed, up to date on shots, and I am HW negative! I LOVE people! I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t met a person yet that I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t love right away. I like to lay my head on you and get pet. Thats the best. I also love to play with other dogs. All the other dogs have been very nice to me since I came Hope to live here. I LOVE playtime! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made lots of fur and human friends. Some of the other foster dogs have found new homes and I think I would like to see what that is like. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never had a home to call my own that I can remember. So, please ask to meet me. I would love to have a home to call my own. We offer local trial adoptions to ensure the best match for you and your new best friend. We require all dogs to be family members. Application and adoption fee apply. online application: http://www.dogs2ndchance. org/adoption-application. All dogs are up to date on vaccines, have been heartworm tested and spayed/neutered. All dogs are on monthly heartworm and flea preventative.

to his position in January when the American Legion Fair Committee, Inc was formed. But he had been working behind the scenes for the past two years doing research on the feasibility of bringing a Fair to Millington. Lee Buchschacher, Past Department Commander of the American Legion and Chairman of the fair committee said,” Rick came up with the idea to hold a spring fair in Millington as an opportunity to raise funds for the American Legion charities. What made it possible for us to get up and running quickly was (Rick Montana) has been in the fairs and entertainment business for over 21 years.” He created and managed the Calhoun County Fair, appeared in about a dozen movies, and had his own local TV show (in Alabama) for a number of years. “The thing is” Buchschacher said, “He knows what needs to be done and when. We don’t hold

committee meetings for six months before we can do something. We discus and move out.” And move out they did. They already have more than sixteen music acts performing over the four-day event with circus acts, an exotic petting zoo, and a rodeo every day plus local exhibits! All of that is included in the low general admission of $7. Parking is free as well. The fair is a family event with plenty of things for the kids. But the one thing the Legion Fair will not have is any alcoholic beverages on the grounds “We have approximately 30 carnival rides on the midway, circus acts, a rodeo, food vendors, craft and community booths. We have two entertainment stages with a variety of music performed over the four days.” Buchschacher said. “We try to have something for everybody.” Gates will open 5 p.m. on Thursday and Friday and open again at 1 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Children 6 and under admitted free. Plenty of free Parking is available! Exhibit booth space is available for rent at $100 for profit and $50 for non profit as well as sponsorship packages starting at $250.00.

Brighton By Debe Simonton 268-0091 Hello my Brighton Friends. My the month has flown by. It is hard to believe that it is the eve of May. If that isn't hard enough to believe just think, the year is almost half over. I think I enjoyed the time when it seemed as if the days crawled by as a turtle's pace. I had a few calls about my great little gadget we will call my mini rake. I guess I thought ya'll were reading my mind when I didn't offer where I purchased it. The Home Depot in Covington is the store. I have really put this tool to the test and it is still in great shape. We only have a couple

of birthdays to celebrate this week. Miss Anna Hedgepeth on the 2nd and Master Tony Stage will be a big 3 on the 6th. Happy birthday to the both of you. Please let me know of any birthdays you would like for me to put in my column. Everyone has one special day all to themselves so let's tell our community about it. The Brighton Fest has been postponed for a couple of weeks. The rain would have washed them out so they decided to just move the date. Hopefully this didn't affect to many of your plans. The new date is May the 15th. Laura Drew Holmes from Brighton High School has been working hard on the football web site. Please go and look at this site sometime. It is full of information. The Brighton FFA ban-

Gilt Edge Connie Pickard and Carol Lumley took Carol's dog to the vet recently to get its yearly shots and other things. They are glad to have that job behind them. Some folks have the fishing fever. That is a good pass time plus it can put some food on the table. I guess everyone enjoyed the spring break from school now its time to get back to the books and before you know it they will be out for the summer. Rev. J. N.

837-8017 Dear readers A large group of Atoka Methodists attended the Laity banquet last Tuesday night. We honored Mike Schaefer as our unsung hero. Mike directed the Last Supper and is busy around the church in many ways. The Atoka U. M. Church has stopped the 8:30 a.m. service and so we all go to the 10:50 service. This past Sunday there was a potluck dinner after the service. There was so much good food that we all ate too much. I still say Atoka women do better cooking than any where else. Now to the First Baptist Church of Atoka news. Saturday, May 8, men's prayer meeting at 6 p.m. Monday, May 10 WIN, Women In Need, will meet at 6 p.m. Saturday May 15, ladies conference at 5 p.m. Get your tickets. Sunday, May 16 is

er for three years. We got to know Mr. Findley pretty well during this time and he is very dedicated to the students he teaches. They are a wonderful family and our community and school are very fortunate to have them. Others on our prayer list are Verna Lou Timbs, Louise Vandergrift, Rebena Atteberry, Aunt Francis Moore, Phyllis McIntosh, Keith McClerkin, and lets keep the Yon family and the Pate family in our prayers as well. I want to thank those of you who called me when the oil rig exploded in the gulf. My eldest son, Trey, works on a rig. He called me the next morning before I had a chance to hear about the accident. He was 8 miles from the one that exploded. He did want me to let everyone know that

quet was held on April 27. I know I am a little late telling you about this but I didn't get my notice until Saturday in the mail. We attend each year and give two scholarships out from our son, Harrison's, memorial fund. There will be a forestry camp and FFA camp scholarship. These two camps were attended by Harrison and we know how character building these experiences were. Any chance you have to support our FFA department, please do. Our prayers go out to the Findley family. Jonathan Findley is our high school band director. His mother passed away this last week. Mr. Findley has been at our high school building, our band department for a long while now. Our daughter, Hannah Mae, was the field command-

DarSay Burton 476-1414 Greetings, I pray everyone weathered the storms over this past weekend. All we got was a lot of thunder and lighting with heavy downpours. Aunt Willie Mae Burton’s still a patient at Dyersburg Regional Medical Center, but according to uncle Isiah she’s fairing much better and she just might be coming home soon. She is truly missed at missionary meeting where she always teachers a hearty lesson each Monday at 5 p.m. at The Center. While she’s been out Janet Mosley has been filling in perfectly for her. President Mary Burton and all of the ladies are, as always, praying for Willie Mae’s speedy recovery. On April 18, the Tipton County Singing Union met at St. Mark A. M. E. in Munford. Bright Hill’s choir was absent from roll call due to the sudden illness of their choir president, Tyrone Burton’s mother, Willie Mae Burton. TCSU

president is Evelena Winfrey-Sloan, who as always, did a splendid job. Besides St. Mark’s choir, Shiloh Tabernacle on Highway 14 and Mt. Tipton, Brighton upheld the banner with lovely songs of praise. April 24 was the annual choir day for Bright Hill’s choir. Theme for this years was “sing Praises Unto God.” Psalms 47:1-6. Special guests were the choirs from St. Paul in Drummonds, Cleaves Memorial M. B. in Oakland, Sanctified Holiness of Millington, Avery Chapel in Covington and Mt. Herman’s Male Chorus of Dicksonville. Prior to the afternoon program, the kitchen staff of Bright Hill served a delicious repast. Rev. S. P. Cole and First Lady Wilada Cole was pleased over the programs success. We are still praying for Willie Parthenia Hodge, Posey Reed, Jeffery Mosley Sr., Bessie Cobbs, Demetrice Baker, Doris King, Joseph Heaston Sr., Eugene

it has been 25 years since there has been an accident of that magnitude. Although he works for a different company, they all go through rigorous safety training and his company requires them to have safety drills weekly. I want to thank all for the prayers. I told a friend-customer that I wanted to highlight her this week and she was somewhat surprised but I think she is just great. Her name is Mary Jane and she is married to Jim Yancy. They have a gutter company called Brighton Professional Gutters. They do a great job and are very hard working. Mary Jane is from Arkansas and Jim is from California. Mary Jane has such a sweet kind heart especially for animals. She even, at one time, rescued dogs and found it hard to give

them up. I met her in Memphis when we were living there. And low and behold she moved out here, too. So if your looking for a good company to do some gutter work for you, look them up. My last reminder is, DON'T FORGET MOTHER'S DAY! If your’re like so many of us whose mothers have passed on then adopt one. You can dote on a neighbor, celebrate your daughter being a mother, your sister, aunt, or any other person close to you that needs a little special attention. You know those sweet ladies at the nursing home would love to see someone come to visit them. So think about it, make it a family project, it will make you feel good on May 9. Love to all, Debe

Our heartfelt

prayers are with each of you always. Happy belated birthday to my niece, Carla Burton, of Nashville on April 4. She’s the daughter of my brother Carl (C. L.) Burton of Riverdale, Ga. and Karen Burton (She’s remarried, sorry I don’t have her married name at this writing.) However all of them are now living in Nashville. Also birthday shout outs are going to Billy Wayne Armstrong and Zachary Evans on the 29th and Arthur Smith on April 30. Deadline is May 1st for Sherrill’s family reunion on Memoiral Day weekend at the home of Cornell and Rev. Pink Sherrill Jr. in Jamestown. Contact people are Pearl Andrews, Glodine King Davis, Tamera King and LaRue Albritton. Since it is now Springtime and we are so busy planting now, “wouldn’t it be wonderful if all of us would sow seeds of harmony? This way wherever we may go, a lovely garden filled with love and happiness would always be, in full bloom.” Until next time

More alphabet soup… By MARGARET FLEMING Special to The Leader Before I get to a couple of ‘g’s’ that I would like to talk about, let me tell you that last Thursday we had a South College Street Neighborhood Gathering with 26 attending! Most of us live right here on or near S. College but we also enjoyed ‘neighbors’ from Atoka, Brighton and Holly Grove! Folks, any of you can do this in your neighborhood as well. The schedule for future events includes a Downtown Trolley Tour on May 13 and a ride on the Memphis Queen River Boat on June 10. We will probably take July off and regroup in August for a ’back-to-school’ gathering. In the meantime we know each other a little bit better! Oh, another thing about this most recent gathering is that we had the great pleasure to welcome Pat Ennis to our neighborhood. She is delightful and I especially enjoyed seeing her ‘model’ some of the vintage hats I have lying around. Now on to the real topic of this article… recently I have had the opportunity to have

conversations with several caregivers who are retirees as well. I am not sure whether the emotions we discussed are a result of caring for others or adjusting to a more relaxed schedule. But there was a similar theme in all the discussions. The two ‘G’s’… grief and guilt … are perhaps the two most damaging emotions we can manifest. They are usually the most undeserved emotions as well. Caregiving relationships, in fact all relationships are fraught with ‘if I had’ and ‘I should have’ and a million similar thoughts. I wonder if the ‘extra’ time we have as retirees allows more thinking time. ‘Thinking’ is not always good if we are looking behind at the things we think we should have done or said. I try to live by the advice that my Mom gave me a long time ago… “Do the best you can with what you have at the time, and don’t look back.” Hindsight can be 20/20 but that only means that you have a little more information. Feeling guilty about what could have been done or said is a waste of energy and we just don’t have that kind of

energy to waste. So much for guilt, now let’s look at grief… probably the most self-centered emotion of all. The first thing we think of when learning of the death or approaching death of a loved one is ‘what will I do without him/her?’ That is also the most natural thing to think! Grief is healthy. It allows us to deal with a major life change. I talked about grief when I retired and some of the things I would have liked to have accomplished. But, you know, none of us is perfect and none of us can do everything for everyone or be all things to all people. My advice about these two ‘g’s’ is to look closely at your feelings and if you need to make amends, do so. If not, let them go. For me, it helps to create a tangible activity for releasing serious feelings. I usually write the thoughts on paper and then burn the paper. The negative emotions just go up in smoke. A good support group is always a positive step when dealing with guilt and/or grief. I don’t know the schedules but TCCA or Baptist Home Care and

Hospice usually have something available. Just give them a call. Now on to happier stuff… I am so loving our back yard! Flowers, birds, rabbits, and yes, weeds, too. Sitting out on the porch during the heavy rains last Saturday reminded me of lazy rainy afternoons at my Grandmother’s house in the summer; swatting flies on the porch; that certain smell of a summer rain. Sometimes I think the sense of smell triggers more memories than any other sense. But we did have a sadness one afternoon last week. We were sitting on the back porch and suddenly we heard “splat.” When we looked we found a nest and a broken egg that had fallen from the transom at the back door. We feared that this was not a safe place for the doves to nest and we won’t let them try that again! One of the adult birds flew away immediately but the other one remained on the edge of the transom for several minutes. I can’t help but wonder how birds grieve…

Hello everyone! Hope you are all doing well and have had a great week! We’re just moving right along, busy as bees trying to get everything set up for our “Springfest” that will take place this Saturday, May1, here at Dunlap from 10-3! I sure hope you can all come out and have a great time! Right now I would ask you to please be in prayer for the weather to hold out so we can have a good turn out! Right now, it is still on. This happened to us two years ago. It rained the night before like cats and dogs and it even rained that morning, but the sun came out and it turned into a beautiful day! So please come on out and support us! We’ll be here! We are looking forward to it with much expectation and trusting the Lord for it to be a great fundraiser! If there is anyone who would like to come and set up a booth to sell their homemade goods, you are more than welcome to come, just give me a call at 476-7014, and let me know who you are and what you’ll be selling and I’ll give you all the details. We’ll have a variety of goods for you to choose from. Everything from aprons, purses, jewelry, bibs,

very weak. I ask that you continue to pray for Teresa and her family. A liver transplant is very expensive, not to mention what it can do to the family finances traveling back and forth to the hospital and doctor’s offices. As I mentioned last week, I hear that there are several fundraisers in development for the near future for Teresa. If you are willing to participate in any way, please watch for future announcements of these fund raisers in the Burlison article. I will include them as I receive information. I would especially like to challenge the people of Burlison to help Teresa and her family. Teresa has lived in Burlison all her life and is one of our own. Teresa’s dad, Maurice “Muck” Kellum and her mother, Euthia Mae Bradshaw Kellum, were also born and raised in the city of Burlison. Muck Kellum served on the City Council. Thank you, in advance for your help.

There will be a sale at 27 Elm Grove Road on April 30 from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. to benefit Helping Hands Cancer Support Group and Relay for Life. This sale will be held inside, so come rain or shine the sale will go on. Also, don’t forget about Relay for Life 2010. It is being held at Brighton High School on July 18. Please help to remember past and honor and support present cancer patients with your attendance. I would like to apologize for announcing the wrong date for the Hi 5 tournament held at the Burlison Community Center. I announced the date as April 16, but the tournament was in fact held on April 17. Despite the date error announced in the Burlison column, Mr. Danny Howard told me that they had a good turn out and (I hope I get this right) Jamie Howard and Franklin “Baby” Yarbro won the tournament. All proceeds were donat-

ed to charity. Don’t forget, the next Burlison City Council meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 11th at 7 p.m. It would be in the city’s best interest if we would all make plans to attend and let our opinions be known on the Community Center Rental for Burlison Citizens issue along with other items of interest involving the City of Burlison. If unable to attend, as mentioned in prior columns, call your City Council and let them know how you feel. I may sound like a broken record on this issue, but I can’t stress enough that Burlison is our city, we have a voice and we should be heard. If you’d like to hear more Burlison news than just what happens in and around the area of Kellum Lane, please call 901476-2683 or email me at kellumeddie@yahoo.com. Until next time, I hope you have a great week. Eddie Kellum

quilts, quilted items, jellies, crouched items and I’m not sure what else the Lord is gonna bring our way! I’ve even had a lady call to say she wants to come out and bring her Mary Kaye! So it sounds like we’re going to have a good variety of vendors. Speaking of vendors, all vendors please remember to come on out at about 9:00 and bring your table to set up, and we’ll find you a spot! Just give me a call and let me know you’re coming. Matter of fact, if you have anything to sell that’s handmade or hand crafted, I’d love to hear from you. We have coming, Victory Sound, Three for Thee, and Rolland Essaff will be here leading us in worship. There will also be rides, games and all kinds of things for the kids. We’re having a cake auction and Rolland Essaff will also be our auctioneer for this fun occasion. We’ll also have four Boston Butts to auction off, compliments of Holly Grove CP Church Men’s Fellowship. Three Star Fire Department will be here for the little ones to see a real fire engine, plus our wonderful Three Star Volunteers will be on hand for tours of the trucks or to answer any questions you might have! There will also be military vehicles on display for your enjoyment, compliments of Bob McFarland and his Military Museum.

Kelley Shellenberger’s “Stick Ministry Kids” will be on hand. They moved us all when they performed “Light Our World” and as they were finishing up. We’re also going to be doing the cake auction again this year, so if you could bring a cake when you come for us to auction off, that would be great. You could even bring a pie or cookies. And while you’re here Billy and Ann Chapman will be cooking up some yummy hamburgers and hot dogs for your delight, and you might as well have some chips and a coke with it! It’s all for a donation to Dunlap! Then if you really want something GOOD, buy one of Ms. Patsy Fee’s fried apple or peach pies. They are wonderful, and they are only $3 a piece. We run out of those every year. So come and get em’ early! Please be praying

for a beautiful day! God hears every prayer, so I need plenty going up for the weather to be good! Now don’t forget what we are out here for- our precious little folks who are so dear to us and taking good care of them. That’s what it’s all about! As most of you know, we are a non-profit organization that is supported by churches in the area and the revenue we receive from the rent our residents pay each month. So if we don’t have our rooms full, we can’t pay the bills. We have five rooms that are available for rent, so if you know anyone that needs something like this, please tell them to contact Kathy at 476-7014 and we’ll try and help them out! Until next week, (hopefully post “Springfest”) ya’ll have a great week and please remember to give somebody a hug that needs one.
