Mason fires its police chief By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com MASON – Following an accusatory meeting of the board of mayor and aldermen on July 11, the Town of Mason has fired its police chief. Well, maybe. “At the last board meeting, an alderman made a motion to fire the police chief and that motion was seconded, then passed with a 3-2 vote,” said
mayor David Ward. Ward said the request, which was made by alderman Eddie Noeman, was made because “basically, Alderman Noeman said people told him things needed to be changed.” In addition to Noeman, aldermen Linnie Waddell and Mike Harris were in support of the termination of chief James Paris. Aldermen Frank Boyland and David Smith were against it.
Alderwoman Abby Cross, Ward said, was not present at the meeting. This spring, Noeman drew up a petition to fire the chief; 150 residents signed it. A longtime rivalry exists between the alderman and the chief of police and Noeman is outspoken and angry about a myriad of issues. One of those is the chief’s residential status. Paris lives in Bartlett, 21 miles away from Mason.
“Four years ago he promised to move,” Noeman said. Paris himself made those intentions clear. In April 2007, he told the board he would be “willing to relocate quickly if given the position.” In a May 2007 interview with The Leader, Paris said he and his wife planned to move to Tipton County “in the near future.” Ward said the city has not
required Paris to move to Mason because of the downturn in the economy. “We asked him to, but since home sales have dropped we’re not going to ask someone to take a loss on selling their home and moving to Mason,” said the mayor. “No one has a problem with that.” Noeman does, however. “He uses city cars to go back and forth between here and Bartlett,” Noeman said. “I keep SEE MASON, PAGE A1
Morris encourages early voting By TIFFANY HOLLAND tholland@covingtonleader.com Beginning last Friday, July 16, until July 31, registered voters have the opportunity to cast their ballots for the Aug. 5state primary and county general elections. Jeff Morris, administrator of elections for Tipton County, is encouraging voters to take advantage of early voting. “Local voters have come to enjoy the benefits and convenience of voting early,” administrator Morris said. “Voters can vote at their convenience and not worry about rushing to the polls on Election Day.” “In November of 2008, approximately 58 percent of the registered voters who voted in the election in Tennessee took advantage of early voting,” Secretary of State Tre Hargett said. “I expect a significant number of voters to vote early this election as well.” Tennessee Coordinator of Elections Mark Goins kicked off the first day of early voting by casting his own ballot. “Early voting is convenient and has become very popular in Tennessee,” said Goins. “I know I will be busy on Election Day, so voting early ensures my vote will be cast within my schedule. It just makes sense to vote at a time convenient SEE VOTING, PAGE A3

New Project Play work dates announced By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com
COVINGTON – All facets of the community are coming together to make the Project Play rebuilding effort a success – including Tipton County inmates. Last week, as part of the sheriff’s inmate labor program, trustees from the correctional facility worked in blazing temperatures to spread mulch around the base of the playground equipment. “I called Mayor Gordon and volunteered inmate labor to help expedite the project,” said Sheriff J.T. “Pancho” Chumley on Friday. “This is no cost to taxpayers.” Organizers say they are happy with the inmates’ work. “We’re pleased with how much they’ve gotten done,” said Lee Johnston. “They’ve really been working hard.” Johnston said total community involvement is important in the rebuilding effort.

COVINGTON – It was a hero’s welcome for more than 100 members of the National Guard’s 278th Armored Calvary Regiment who returned to friends and family in Tipton County Tuesday night. After a six-month fight in the Middle East, the unit was one of 10 to return to Tennessee this week. With her 7-month-old daughter and three sons in tow, Atoka resident Amber Carter was eager to see her husband Tuesday. “It’s been very hectic, to say the least, since he’s been gone,” she said. “I had a newborn and all three
boys are involved in sports.” Daughter Ava Grace was born this winter while the unit was at Camp Shelby, Miss. preparing to be deployed. The unit left Tipton County in January and was expected to be deployed for a year. The Knoxville-based regiment of approximately 3,400 is coming home six months earlier than expected, and all of its units are scheduled to be back in Tennessee by the end of August. Though Amber said she was excited, she admitted to not getting her hopes up at the earlierthan-expected return. “I wasn’t going to hold my breath because things could change,” she
said. “I wasn’t going to get very excited until they were on a plane from Iraq and headed to Kuwait.” The group arrived in Smyrna Tuesday afternoon, but not soon enough for Claudia Washington, the wife of 1SG Benjamin Bridges of Memphis. “I’ve been kinda lonesome, especially at night,” she said. “And the dogs miss him, too.” The couple is the proud parents of two children and proud grandparents of two grandsons, who made the trip to Covington to welcome their grandfather home. “We’re all overjoyed,” she said. “And we’re blessed because they all came home, just like they left.”
Atoka man witnesses deadly pit bull attack By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com MEMPHIS – It started as just another day at work for Joseph Gaines, a local truck driver for a hazardous materials disposal company. He was at a Memphis business near Poplar
Avenue when tragedy struck. “I was pulling liquid out of a tank and could hear one of the guys who worked there yelling,” Gaines, 27, of Atoka, said. “My truck was loud and he was even louder.” Once he was finished, Gaines turned the truck
off and the man was still yelling, but now holding a metal pole in his hand. That’s when he saw the dogs. “They’d been running around in a field the whole morning,” he said. The dogs - two pit bulls - were attacking 71-year-
old William Parker. “I saw the girl with her dad,” he said. “Me and the other guy walked over there to help fight the dogs off.” Paramedics were already on the scene and trying to tend to Parker when Gaines and the SEE ATTACK, PAGE A3

MASON
Continued from A1 asking a lot of questions about what’s going on and I keep getting heat because of it.” Though the board voted to terminate the chief, Ward said reinstatement is “always a possibility.” Paris, who has more than 30 years of law enforcement experience, was a Mason police lieutenant before becoming chief three years ago after the sudden resignation of then-chief Jason Collins and then-mayor Lee Clark in February 2007. Many residents have voiced concerns and signed petitions against the chief, but when asked about complaints against Paris, Ward said “everyone” gets complaints. “I get a lot of compliments on the police chief,” he said Wednesday. “A lot of people talk about how good of a job he does.” He said residents are “surprised and shocked” about Paris’s termination. The chief’s last day is set for Friday, July 23, but he could return to patrolling Mason’s streets next week. On Monday, the town will hold a special, called meeting to discuss the 2010-2011 budget and will also discuss giving Paris another chance. “An alderman approached me and said he wanted to change his vote,” said Ward. The meeting will take

place at City Hall on Monday, July 26, at 7 p.m. Inadequate accounting
This is not Mason’s first share of problems in recent months. A2009 probe by the State of Tennessee Comptroller of the Treasury found the town’s accounting “inadequate” and found a clerk had embezzled approximately $97,000. The clerk, Arnita Mitchell, was indicted on several counts and fired. The audit report was not flattering toward town recorder Nancy Hazlerig, noting that, among other things, she had received petty cash totaling $1,025 for which there was no supporting documentation and another $2,845 in disbursements to her were either inadequately supported or no supporting documentation was located at all. Hazlerig, the report said, also “failed to ensure that totals on DCRs (daily cash reports) agreed with totals on corresponding deposit slips as well as the total of all applicable receipts. Ms. Hazlerig also failed to require the two clerks to record overages or shortages on the DCRs.” The report further states Hazlerig “failed to ensure that collections were deposited timely into town bank accounts” including a check from the state for a grant. It was, the report says, deposited three months later. It also stated that she failed to “ensure that
collections were deposited intact.” Additionally, the state comptroller’s report indicates that Hazlerig miscalculated paychecks in some instances, paying overtime of one employee when the employee was given additional time off to compensate for the overtime worked. It also alleges that some time cards lacked punchin or punch-out time.
“In several instances, employee paychecks prepared by the recorder differed from auditors’ recalculations of those wages, based on available records of time worked,” the report reads. “On at least six occasions, paychecks prepared by the recorder for former clerk Arnita Mitchell included overtime compensation for which she also apparently earned compensa-
tory time.” It also revealed “numerous instances in which employees’ time cards had neither a time clock stamp nor a manual entry to indicate the beginning and/or end of a shift. Timekeeping and payroll records for office employees also lacked the signature of the recorder to indicate concurrence with the hours worked.”
For their part, the mayor and board of aldermen for the town concur with all of the conclusions and recommendations in the report, noting in their reply that they are enacting safe measures to reduce potential for error. Hazlerig, a city employee since 2001, is still employed by the town.

VOTING

Continued from A1 “This is a communitybuilt playground and when its finished, it is something to be proud of and show off,” he said. “Other communities don’t have a communitybuilt playground.” The quicker it’s rebuilt, he added, the quicker the county’s children can enjoy it. The brainchild of The Rev. John H. Fullerton, Jr., the $300,000 park was originally built in the summer of 2003 through community donations and volunteer support, which saved the community approximately $100,000 in building costs. On Tuesday, Feb. 16, a fire completely destroyed the playground at CobbParr Park. A 911 call at 6:28 p.m. alerted officials of the fire but by the time they arrived minutes later, the playground was already engulfed in flames. In June, a week of work dates was set aside. Though many volunteers braved dangerously high temperatures during one of the summer’s many heat waves, the playground remains unfinished. Johnston hopes this next round of work dates will do the trick and bring volunteers out to help finish the playground. “If we have 100 volunteers per shift, we should finish in three days,” he said. “That’s 300 people per day.” Work dates will be Friday, July 30 - Sunday, August 1. Shifts will be 8 a.m. – noon, 12:30 - 4:30 p.m. and 5 - 8:30 p.m. Children under 10 will not be allowed onsite but childcare will be available for volunteers. Children ages 10-14 are allowed on-site, but must work one-on-one with a parent or guardian. Those ages 14-17 will be able to participate in con-

canines, however; he was arrested for violating the sex offender act. In addition to biting paramedics, the dogs bit Parker’s adult children. Gaines was 1.5-2 feet from the dogs during the incident, he said. “After the paramedics were bit, they tried to beat the dogs off with backboards and other people were trying to keep the dogs off of (Parker).” Paramedics, police and animal control officers
attempted to confine the dogs and capture them, but the dogs put up a fight. Gaines said they were finally cornered using police cars and animal control officers captured them in nets. “They were still putting up a good fight until after they were captured.” Parker, who was walking to the convenience store with his children when he was mauled by the dogs, died of cardiac arrest. After witnessing a death attributed to a bru-
tal attack by a breed of dogs with a bad reputation, Gaines defends pitbulls. “It’s not that it’s the breed, it’s how humans raise them,” he said. He also said he wasn’t afraid to help jump in – and says he’d do it again. “I wasn’t thinking about danger, I just sprang into action. I thought about the consequences later. “I feel sorry for the family who lost a loved one and I hope the daughter makes a good recovery,” he said.

When you have to use the restroom, never, under any circumstances describe what it is you are going to do in there, especially if you are a lady. If you have to excuse yourself for the facilities, it is polite to say, “I have to use the restroom” or “I have to powder my nose” or just a simple “excuse me.” No one needs to know what it is you are doing in there. 4. The gentleman should pay. Yes, it is a new day and women have their own jobs and make their own money, but if a gentleman asks a lady on a date, he should still pay. Even if the woman politely offers, he should decline. Even if she makes a significant higher salary, he should still pay. Now after several dates, because women do now have their own
financial security, it is acceptable to pay for something. But if it is a first date, the gentleman should pay if he plans on a second one. There are several other mannerisms that are simply rule of thumb such as holding open doors for others, ask for something as opposed to demanding it, remove your hat when entering a church, always conduct small talk with others even if you dislike them (ladies only show disapproval with their eyes), welcome new neighbors, do not speak ill of your family around others, do not tell people how much money you make and of course always be courteous, respectful, humble and friendly. While, sometimes being on your most polite behavior seems irrelevant, you will be surprised how many people notice and how far just a simple “thank you” or “yes sir” can go.

Ignore and don’t pay homage to those who criticize. Disregard conservative movements and patriots who protest politicians we put in charge always know what’s best. Just be happy—follow sports and music by favorite bands. Let Congress run D.C. keep your heads in the sand. I even talked to my doctor, he said “I understand. You must stop watching Fox, put your head in the sand. Your loss of sleep is caused by your trying to take a stand.” “You will find comfort in numbers. Join us with our heads in the sand.” Under the sand you will find friends all with helping hands. They welcome you to join them with their heads in the sand.

“Rush” voiced consternation with the new leader’s plan. He was among the first to remove his head from the sand. Then came the “Czars,” over 30 in the clan. They caused more awakening and more heads from the sand. The election of ‘06 put the Dems in command. “W” was lame, our cause divided. Our heads were in the sand. Barney and Dodd were now in charge. Their egos were never bland. Finally broke the bank, while we slept—our head in the sand. And lo! The stimulus thing, which the lameduck began, was a great opportunity in which to expand. Our dept became unsustainable for our children, great and grand. Because we were unaware our heads were in the sand. Then there was healthcare (some changes we all agreed to clear waste, fraud and corruption there certainly was a need. But our leaders chose to scrap the best system for our land, and

MASON
Continued from page A4 As I look around me, I see appliances, devices, tools and inventions, all which supposedly make the quality of everyday life at least easier if not better. Since the industrial explosion of the Roaring Twenties, Americans have been an ambitious people inspired to “conquer the world,” so to speak, with the help of whatever newand-improved patented product that graced the store shelves that year. The mindset I learned from my elders and they from their elders was to be productive, to take pride in a good day’s work. It gives a person a clear conscience. And productivity has continually been enhanced by inventors. Communication has always been in the forefront of innovation and invention. Perhaps the biggest inventions ever have been the telephone (thanks to Alexander Graham Bell) and the Internet (thanks to Al Gore?) both of which have obviously revolutionized communication. The 1980s saw a huge increase in inventions and improvements which culminated in
Continued from page A4 the 1990s with the socalled “PC era” in which productivity-focused personal desktops and laptops were the main tools used for software and work. Add an Internet connection into the mix and consumers were unstoppable in moving forward with productive learning, research and communicating with one another. As this business attracted money-makers, Internet usage has transformed from the “dot-com boom” of the late 1990s into a grotesque overload of semimeaningless information in social networking, status updates and YouTube videos. I think this has been amplified especially since the marriage of the Internet and cell phones and small electronic devices after the Palm Pre, Blackberries and Apple’s iPhone, iPod Touch and now iPad. As a result, consumers are too busy spending their time on shallow entertainment. This has rung true for the younger generation in high school and college, but is also seeping into the daily habits of older businesspeople. Many of us have forgotten how to communicate with one
another and those who rely on desktops and laptops for schoolwork or for their employment have become big procrastinators and nonproductive. To be sure, most of these services are good, but it’s important (as with everything) that their services are utilized in moderation. I urge those who keep their eyes glued to their smartphones and who text while driving to hold back and slow down. Get out from behind the computer and visit someone face-to-face. Don’t get me wrong, my most-visited websites are Facebook.com and Youtube.com by a landslide. I also admit that much of the time I’d rather text someone than call them or visit them. But my epiphany that I don’t need to completely rely on these electronic devices is refreshing. As someone who used to cork his ears with an iPod and block the sound of the world out, it’s a good feeling not to be anchored down with an electronic device and to wake up and smell the roses, see the sky and hear the birds.
LETTERS
Continued from page A4 put bureaucrats from Washington, not doctors, in command. Some of us protested as we grew to understand. We were giving up our freedom with our heads in the sand. Now the gulf is spoiled with oil, earnest clean-up is at hand. Bureaucrats obstructed necessity while heads were in the sand. Liberals say “don’t worry” in our leaders put your trust. Ignore what is said by Hannity, Fox News, Beck or Rush. Stop confusing yourself with facts, the truth will only alarm. These talking-heads and their message will only cause you harm. Conservative grassroots movements need to be dis-banned. They are causing too many to take their heads from the sand. Fewer are tending hobbies or enjoying the Nascar cars, or watching American idol, nervous housewives or dancing stars. There's a world of entertainment, many pleasures are at hand. Come join your friends be happy. Put your head in the sand. But then I recalled the great leaders of our land who chose to speak and act with dignity and full command. Patrick Henry declared “liberty or death” and Martin L. King, “I am a man.” These and others remind me to get my head out of the sand. Two choices of though about Obama each of which is clear. Either he’s incompetent, or a shrewd social engineer. Ask yourself this question, does he hold this country dear? I’ve seen no signs of flag-respect. No patriotism do I hear. In either case our country is now in great need of leaders who are statesmen and will honor the American creed. I plan to vociferate, on solid ground I’ll stand. And hope to help friends and others raise their heads from the sand. Bill and Martha Wallace, Covington

tor to the problems that town is experiencing. But this is certain: Mason has got to get its house in order if it plans to win and keep the confidence of its citizens. Allegedly stolen money, sloppy oversight of that money, political infighting, allegations that aldermen are betraying the trust of the citizens they represent in their own private business dealings and the ousting of a police chief don’t convey the message, “We’re looking out for you,” from the leaders to their constituents. Whether it’s a case of a few bad apples making the whole barrel look bad or the worst-case scenario of corrupt leadership (and if allegations against the alderman who was selling tennis shoes with fake labels holds true, we can be assured that at least a small part of the leadership is corrupt), Mason’s residents have every right -- every duty -- to question the actions of the people responsible for their tax dollars. Mr. Ward, if what you said to me last year about cleaning up the town of Mason was true, you have work yet to do. If you’re dedicated to the task, we’d like to be the record of the progress you make as you and any like-minded comrades on the board restore honor and integrity to the offices you hold and to your town. If not, we’ll be obligated to continue to document the sad demise of a town that destroyed itself from within.

Made in the image of God By THE REV. FREEMAN WEEMS Special to The Leader The Bible tells us that man was made in the image of God. Genesis 1:27, “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” This, of course, has nothing to do with our physical image. With all the emphasis that men place upon ethnicity here on earth, I believe they will be sorely disappointed to see that it meant nothing to God after all. The image of God which is impressed upon us involvess our being a three part entity. We e are body, soul, and spirit. Until we are quickened by the Spirit of God in redemption we have a dead spirit, or one that is unable to communicate with our Creator, we are what the Bible terms lost. Because the Lord has invested of Himself in our creation, He is vitally interested in our salvation. Man was not made to wallow in the cesspools esspools of sin that we have become so adept at inventing. Man was not made to inhabit that awful place called Hell. We were made for much higher things and I believe the majority of men aspire for those things, whether knowingly or unknowingly. There is a longing in the heart of man for more than this world, this time in which we live and move, there is a desire for eternity because we are made in the image of the Eternal God. (Ecclesiastes 3:11, “He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.” The Hebrew word
“world” here has the sense of time or eternity as its root meaning.) The image of God having been stamped on us shows the value of the individual. Each of us matters to God. He knows who we are, where we are, and what is happening in our life. The Lord is interested in you. We have nothing to offer Him that He does not already have; nothing that He must have or cannot get. His desire to have fellowship with men, whom He has created, is based in His own goodness. Marvel of marvels that wou desire to spend eternity God would u It is only possible bewith us. cau He has imprinted upon us cause H image. His Though man was created f high things, we have befor come sinners. In the Garden of Eden the entire human race was plunged into sin. T only cure for that is not The education e nor religion. You cannot be educated into the Kingdom of God nor can you "fan some flame of o divinity" within you (there is n no spark of divinity in men). Jesus Christ said, "Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again." Without a new birth, men have only their old Adamic nature that will drag them down into Hell. Salvation is free through Christ to all who will trust Him. Romans 10:9, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."

School Board Election
Editor's Note: Due to a technical error. Mr. Shipley's questionnaire was left of of last week's Election Issue. We apologize for the inconvenience. Grant Shipley Jr. District 4
1
Please give us your background information. I am 36 years old and been a citizen of Tipton County for 8 years. I graduated from Mississippi State University with a B.S. in Industrial Technology. I am married to Brooke Shipley with one child (Owen, 3) and one due in December. Please give us your qualifications for this office. I am a concerned parent that has spent my whole life involved with public education. Please tell us your plans
for the future of this office, including any changes. I look forward to pursuing the important and challenging work done on a daily basis by the school board. Please tell us how you plan to increase county revenues and hold down expenses. I defer this question to the county commissioners, but continuing to have a first class public school system will indeed help attract more families and businesses to our county, thus increasing our tax revenues. Please tell us how the county can best re-
bound from the economic downturn and keep moving forward in a positive fashion? The best way our county can rebound from the economic downturn is by attracting new businesses to move into our area. This can be done in part by continuing to provide our community with a first class public school system. Please tell us why people should vote for you in the election. I will represent the citizens of the 4th District with integrity and honesty. I will also work to ensure that our students receive the best education possible.

and the Ocoee River had three accidents each. TWRA boating officers made 28 boating under the influence arrests during the period with almost one third (nine) coming from Old Hickory Lake. Kentucky Lake was a distant second with three arrests, with Watts Bar, Boone, Ft. Loudoun, and Watauga lakes all having two arrests each.

Gailor High has reunion The Fiftieth Reunion of the 1960 class of Gailor High School held at the Holiday InnAirport in Memphis on July 3, 2010. Fifteen members of a class of 25 were present, with a total attendance of 29 including wives, husbands and friends. The group enjoyed a delicious buffet style meal, followed by a solemn candle lighting ceremony in remembrance of departed class members---Odis Sherfield, Kenny Ray Payne, Alvin (Dick) Terry, Martha Gibbs, Alfreeda Gibbs and Vasthi Jordan. Classmates James
Peoples, Chester Tucker, Raymond Jackson, Frances Maclin, Florence Wells and Edna Maclin were given candles, each lighted by Lue Vern Wright. As Milton Albritton, event planner, read each name, a candle was extinguished in honor of a deceased classmate. This was followed by a moment of silence. An array of fun activities highlighted the balance of the evening. Each classmate gave a brief summary of his/ her life over the past fifty years. Mary Jones, sister of former teacher Ina Taylor, spoke on
behalf of her sister. Much laughter was generated by the "Do You Remember When’s?" As when the Agriculture Teacher, Mr. Lewers, spanked senior Chester with a paddle! The group sang the school’s Alma Mater. Helpers distributed typed lists of current contact information for classmates. The five couples with the longest “marriage longevity� received small lemon cakes. The evening activities concluded with a video of greetings from classmates who were unable to attend.

Cardinals, area teams get going this week
Find us on Facebook at facebook.com/covingtonleader
By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com At 8 a.m. on Monday, with the mercury already well over 80 degrees, the Brighton Cardinals football team hit the practice field in helmets and practice jerseys. Everybody’s schedule is different, but all area football teams began making serious preparations for the upcoming season this week, which begins in less than a month on Aug. 20. The Cardinals were running plays about three-quarter speed and trying to develop some timing in their passing game. “We’re doing a lot of learning right now,” said Brighton head coach Will Wolfe, who led the Cardinals to an 8-3 record last year and a home playoff game for the first time in school history. “We’re just trying to get in as many reps as we can. The goal is for everybody to be on the same page once we’re in pads.” Teams in Tennessee can begin practicing in pads next week, and that’s generally when things really get going in earnest. The Cardinals will be looking to build on the momentum they got started last year. With eight starters returning on offense and seven on defense, there’s plenty of optimism surrounding the program. And it showed at practice. Brighton players and

Pleasant this past week at Mt. Pleasant and split a pair of games to finish in 5th place from amongst 12 teams in the event. Coached by Jeff Cooper, Paul Marbry and Zach Tindall, the local squad put up a good fight scoring 22 runs in their four games in the tourney. Here’s a recap of the week’s games. Game 1 - Covington 6 Sycamore 2 Tyler Max paced Covington squad going 4 for 4 with a homer, a triple and a pair of singles. Hunter Marbry and Bradley Cooper each had doubles with Mack Burke, Scotty Myracle and Hunter Pullen adding singles in Covington’s 9 hit attack. Myracle got the win allowing only 2 hits in 5 innings. He struck out 8. Max pitched the last two innings for the save. Game 2 – Mt. Pleasant 8 Covington 2 Despite good pitching from starter Bradley Cooper, the Covington

in 3 innings of work. Game 4 – Greenbrier 10 Covington 5 Greenbrier eliminated Covington from the tournament with an offensive show that the locals could not match. Scoring 10 runs in the first three innings, they jumped out to what proved to be an insurmountable lead.

Tyler Max, Hunter Marbry, Scotty Myracle Mack Burke and Bradley Cooper had a hit apiece. Hunt relieved max in the 2nd and pitched the remainder of the game.

Hatchie River store brings back old style By TIFFANY HOLLAND tholland@covingtonleader.com
There is a certain presence that can be felt at the Hatchie River Emporium and Haberdashery. Maybe it is the old creaking floors, the legacy of the bulding, the antiquies in the store or the ghost that supposely lives in the basement, but something about the store feels like stepping in the Old South. After opening in November at it's current location of 120 of E. Court Square in Covington's Historic Court Square, the business has been thriving on selling its array of unique items. Some of the products for purchase at Hatchie River are antiques, furniture, artwork, musical instruments, collectibles, men's and women's vintage clothing, furs, fur restyle, cleaning and storage. When entering the right haberdashery side of the store it is like stepping into an old, southern gentleman's parlor. There are antique haberdashery portraits of gentlemen being fitted for suits and vintage ties and briefcases adorning the area. Suits for men are all individually fitted for each customer and alterations can be made. Further in the back lays the women's clothes with vintage gowns and suits that can hardly be found anywhere, much less in Tipton County. One of the suits resting on its hanger is even from the same designer of Jackie Kennedy's famous inaguaral pink outfit. Old books decorate shelves and many are antiques themselves. The book "The Story of Films" by Joe Kennedy, written before he died is one example of the rarity of the collection. On the emporium side of the store there are original paintings and pictures that tell the stories from previous generations and would make a lovely spot in anyone's art collection or serve as just something to spice up a living room. There is a fully restored Knabe grand piano from 1935. The Knabe brand was even in the White House in the Eisenhower era and is quite a musician's fantasy. In fact, the Hatchie River Emporium and Haberdashery is know for its musical instruments perhaps more than anything because of the showcase it puts on every weekend. On Saturdays muscians come in and out of the store to try out the guitars and have a guitar playing session right in front of the building, making it easy to hear them all over the Square. Guitar playing muscians are always welcome to come by the store and strum the guitars for sale, and even provide some extra entertainment for other customers Every antique in the store tells a story. Every piece has some history to it. The store itself is one of the oldest buildings in town and was formerly a saloon in the 1800's. There is a history that the store just captures within the walls of the building. Pictures and post cards from previous generations are there for anyone to purchase and reminisce with. Hatchie River Emporium and Haberdashery store owner Gene Sneed is very happy with his new home on the historic Court Square and is always glad to describe the stories behind his store items. "The people here are so suuportive," said Sneed. "The people in this community come and in and love talking about what we have and buying things in the county as opposed to Memphis or something." Anyone wanting to try a vintage, classic look or searching for some one-of-a kind antiques or just desiring to hear some good stories or play the guitar should go check-out the store. But it is important to pay attention, because there is rumored to be a ghost!

Church bread pantry thrives with community help By TIFFANY HOLLAND tholland@covingtonleader.com With a chance to give back to the community, the Bread of Life Food Pantry has been busy. The First United Methodist Church in Covington opened a bread pantry to halp alleviate hunger among needy people in the community in April. Word of mouth has driven out volunteers and donations but more are still needed as the numbers continue to climb. The organizer of the food bank and associate pastor Grace Phelps is pleased with the people helping out. People have been so generous," said Phelps. "And the Mid-South Food Bank is just wonderful." They have more than 30,000 pounds of food from the pantries. But they also must pay for the expenses of the food, which is 5.8 cents per pound. They have so far served more than 396 different families and many have come more than once. There is criteria that each needy family must meet in order to benefit from the bread pantry. They must be current participants in the food stamp program, or currently receive SSI, or be current recipients of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or currently live in public housing, or be a current participant in the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Prgram or have a total household income of less than 150 percent of the U.S. poverty income guideline based on their household size. Volunteers are present at the bread pantry to verify the documentation of each recipient. Volunteers are also needed for picking up food at locations, unloading it, stocking the shelves, plac-
B1.indd 1
ing food orders, keeping records on food distributed and to bag and deliver the food to the recipients. If people are unable to donate their time, they can make a financial donation which is always appreciated. The donations can be made out to "Bread of Life Food Pantry" and sent to Holley Morris, First United Methodis Church at 145 W. Church Ave in Covington. People can also donate food items, but the pantry will make a specific request for products to fill this gap. Hunters and gardeners can donate processed game or homegoods. The bread pantry is part of a larger effort through the United Methodist Church to end hunger in America and they are partnering with a national non-profit of the food bank network called Feeding America. The bread pantry in Covington FUMC is planning on working with other organizations to end hunger in Tipton County. For example they are planning to work with Jeff Mason for the "Hunters for the Hungry" program where they will donate a deer for meat. Every week the recipients in need grow and the need for volunteers escalates. The bread pantry is open on the first and third Saturday at First United Methodist Church in Covington at 145 West Church Avenue and on the second and fourth Saturdays in the rear section of the Trust Company Bank buidling on Old Highway 51 in Brighton. Anyone can come and volunteer. They just need to contact the Methodist Church in Covington.

Elaine Watkins • 476-7093 It’s Sunday afternoon and I’m writing the column before p.m. church. My plans are to get up in the a.m. and head for St. Louis, where we have tickets for three night games! Yay! I’m going with Elizabeth, Justin and little Lyla, who will be staying at the hotel with the one person not at each game! Liz and I will take turns staying with her. It will be a fun week! I kept Lyla last Thursday night for several hours at their house while Liz and Justin went to the Jeff Dunham Show. She was very good for me and last night they went to eat supper in town for their 6th anniversary and James and I watched her here. She’s going to be three months old on the 20th and already says, “I good”, just like her mother did! And she’s a smiler! This week’s Farm Report: Spraying going on. Beans are loading up,

cotton has polka-dotted red, pink and white fields. Love blooming cotton fields! Corn has made, looks good. Grain prices are rising because of hot temperatures. I drove to Bartett Friday for an eye appointment and ordered new glasses. I was thrilled to hear that my nearsightedness has actually gotten better but I think that happens as you get older some times! I shopped a little before coming home. That night we met Michelle Nowak at Post Office BBQ, just this side of Munford, and had supper. It was very good. Tommy and Miranda Shroader were there and their rib plates looked really good. Everyone was taking leftovers home, so the portions are generous. We enjoyed being with her and hearing about her move to a different school in Lauderdale County, which she’s excited about. Happy 1st Anniversary to her and Evan on the 26th! We had lunch today with Mike, Bonita and Wednesday night study on the Book of Acts. This study follows a delightful dinner at 6 p.m. Our Prayer List continues: Rodney Waits, Brice Fite, Carolyn Max, Pat Lloyd, David Mashburn, Kathy Zimmerman, Robert Wayne McMillan, Hunter Box, Gigi Box, Seth White, Dave Barnett, Boyd Gorham, Katie Burke, Ashley Timbs Billings, Martha Jean York, Carrie Sestina, Arthur McElya, Laura Peel, Dorothy Peel, Bill Peele, Phyllis McIntosh, Colin Alley, Lisa Tennyson, Ron Miller, Kay Regis, Teresa Connell, Willie Hardin, Neal Wright, Sylvia McBride, Tommy Voghte, Katie Duncan, Paul Sutton, Jack Adkins, Alyshia Allison, Courtney Hendley, Robyn Barnett, Karen Ellen, Clyde Currie, Ben Pylant, Bill Parker, Doug Carter, Amy Novac, David Kemp, Kathy Zimmerman, Bill Stimpson and Johnny Fletcher.

Hi everyone, Hope your week has been a good one. For the most part ours has been. If we could just get rid of those nasty old horseflies. I’m going broke buying wasp spray. Charlie and I went and did our early voting on July 16. It’s a privilege we “Americans” still have. I hope that in my lifetime it will remain so. The day before I had dental surgery, which was no fun. The worst of all of it has been not being able to eat. Just yogurt, bananas and soft stuff for two weeks. I’ll probably cheat a little as the days go by. Oh well. I’ll just be thankful we have periodontal work available to resolve these issues. Charlie and I enjoyed watching a program on TV Sunday evening called “Boomers” with Tom Brokaw. Being a baby boomer myself, it was so much watching our teenage years right before your very eyes. It’s so strange how we can recall those years so fast. FUN memories!

Kathy Keiter • 476-7014 Hello everyone! Sure hope you’re all doing well and enjoying this summer weather! We are taking advantage of it as much as possible, but at the same time we are trying to be very cautious. We are getting excited about our Christmas in July coming up her pretty soon. This is one of the highlights of the year here at Dunlap Retirement Center. Macedonia UMC will be here this Sunday, the 25th to bring us “Christmas in July”. When they come, they bring Turkey and dressing and all the trimmings! And boy do we love it!! They put the icing on the cake when Santa comes in with presents for each one of them! Oh my, what a treat! Thank you ladies of Macedonia for all your hard work and devotion

Hello from Burlison. Did you know? On Oct. 19, 1818, Andrew Jackson and the former Governor Isaac Shelby of Kentucky made the Tuscaloosa Treaty (traditionally) known as the Jackson purchase with the Chickasaw. Jackson and Shelby bribed Levi Colbert, who with his brothers had taken over political leadership of the tribe and obtained the 10,700 square miles of territory between the Mississippi River and the western valley of the Tennessee River. This area, comprising onefourth of Tennessee, was a Chickasaw hunting area and contained no villages. The Chickasaw traded it for $300,000 to be paid in 15 annual installments. Tipton County was created by an act of the

Hello Dear Readers, The heat is still on … and we are all still hot! While watching the Weather Channel this past weekend, the experts said that we had had a warmer than average year. If we stay true to this pattern we will have a great fall, so they predict. I certainly hope so. It would be nice to enjoy some of the year for the suffering we have done this summer and spring. So I suppose that if we set out a fall garden that the harvest will be much better than our harvest of late. The football offensive team is back from camp. I am sure that it was great. The guys that the Harrison Memorial Scholarship sent to camp are Josh Robles, Greg Starks and Treyshaun Gardner. Be looking for them this year to do great plays on the field. The birthday wish for this next week goes out to Ms. Laura Drew Holmes. She has spent a great part of her summer traveling to each coast to learn more in support of teaching. She teaches at Brighton

to Dunlap! I’m putting out a plea to all my prayer warriors to pray for Ms. Flo. She is not going to be able to come back to Dunlap at this time as she will have to stay in the Skilled Nursing Facility. God is still in the business of doing miracles! We’re just trusting Him that He will see her through this and bring her back to us! In a couple of weeks our annual yard sale will be here! It’s on Friday and Saturday, August 6th & 7th, here out in the front yard at Dunlap Retirement Center. We are at 1495 Dunlap Orphanage Rd. right off 14 Hwy, over by Fastimes. I sure hope you get to come out and visit our sale! Also if you have anything you would like to donate for our yard sale, please bring it over on Thursday the 5th and we’ll put it out as well. Everything that we have in the yard sale will be by donations, with the excep-
tion of large items like furniture and various other things. The sale will start at 9:00 a.m. on Friday and go until people quite coming, and then on Saturday, we’ll close it at 12 or 1:00. By then I’m give out and need to put everything away and rest! We will take anything you have to get rid of! From pacifiers to the kitchen sink! Ha! Shoes, clothes, furniture, books and all miscellaneous items. Please let us know if you have something you could donate, it would sure be a blessing to us and our non-profit facility here! If you don’t have a way to bring it, call me and we’ll see what we can come up with to get it ourselves! We thank you in advance for supporting Dunlap in our yard sale each year! There are still no more birthdays this month, just Ms. Tricky’s this past Friday! I understand they had a great turnout
for her 75th b’day party this past Sunday given to her at the Macedonia UMC parsonage! Sure hope you had a great one Ms. Tricky! We love you sooooo much, cause YOU ARE THE BEST!!! Talk about a sweet little lady, oh my goodness, I pray all of you that are reading this can someday have the opportunity to meet Ms. Tricky, you will be blessed beyond blessings! I would like to tell you all about our two new residents! We have Ms. Catharin Beanblossom “Ms. Beanie”, from Ohio, mother of Bob Beanblossom “Bean”. Welcome Ms. Beanie!!! Then we have Ms. Sadie Norton from Fayette County and all of her wonderful family! Welcome Ms. Sadie! We hope you both are very happy and comfortable out here! Until next week, have a blessed week and hug someone!
Tennessee legislature on Oct. 29, 1823. Governor William Carroll signed the act at Murfreesboro, then the capital of Tennessee. Tipton’s land area was taken from Shelby County in the western district of Tennessee and included what is now Lauderdale County. On Nov. 24, 1835, Tipton’s land area was reduced to 440 square miles, creating what is now known as Lauderdale County. In 1873, the legislature again reduced Tipton County by cutting off Island #23 and adding it to Lauderdale. During the 1920’s, a small portion of land in south Tipton was ceded to Shelby County so the residents could attend Shelby County schools at Rosemark. With all that said, I wonder why the U.S. Census Bureau has Tipton County listed as having 475 square miles in its borders, when we know that in 1835
it was reduced to 440 square miles and then was reduced two more times after that? I also wonder if the Chickasaw tribe ever received all their money. Things are not always as they seem, we need to spend more time thinking and less time talking. I received an e-mail the other day that ask a very simple question “what was the president name in 1975” and of course I jumped on that right fast with Gerald Ford, but of course I was wrong. Read the question again, it didn’t ask who was president, it asked what was his name in 1975 and of course the correct answer is Barack Obama. There’s really nothing new to report on here in the big city of Burlison, just HOTHOT AND HOT. Until next time have a good week and the Lord be with you. If you have any information for future articles call me at 901-476-2683 or
e-mail me at kellumeddie@ yahoo.com. Until next time have a blessed week.
High School. Laura Drew does a lot of "behind the scenes" things that many people are unaware of. She is an unsung hero of the coaches and many other organizations. So when you see her this week, her day is July 24, wish her a happy birthday!! Then when you see her out and about make sure to say Thank You for all the wonderful acts of service that she does. Harrison Simonton would be 22 years old on July 29. He was a rascal, but such a great baby. It was a good thing he was too because he couldn't have survived his siblings otherwise. They were pretty rough on him but they loved him dearly. I believe it was his 3rd birthday when we took
him to Ryan's for dinner. There was a bunch of us at the table and the staff came and sang to him with a little cake. He was so embarrassed and he cried. All the pictures have his little hands over his face. What a cutie. Memories are so special. Band camp is in full swing and the numbers have really grown. It will be like old times getting back into the groove with the band. Hannah Mae had me so busy when she was in the band. Being field commander for three years left us with hardly and free weekends. I was very new to the program with her because none of my other children were in the high school band. They all were in the mid-

A six-part series on strategic planning for Tipton County Public Schools and its students BY TYLER LINDSEY
Editor's note: This is the fifth in a six-part series on strategic planning conducted every five years by the Tipton County Board of Education. Part six of this series, which will focus on future paths, is scheduled to be published on Thursday, July 29. The personnel and funding committees convened over the past few months to construct a strategic plan to fine-tune what the Tipton County school system already has while also exploring feasible avenues that open up available resources to the schools. The committee for personnel in Tipton County schools has developed a set of action plans aimed at ensuring instructional excellence through recruiting, developing and retaining quality teachers. The committee, with Sharon Belew and Sara Gangaware as co-chairs, focused on improving education through establishing a new teacher induction program or, in other words, a new mentor program. While this is important in fine-tuning what the school systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teachers have to offer, the committee also zeroed in on other factors at play. They more importantly felt the need to increase and stabilize teacher attendance at school by including an incentive for coming to work each quarter. In addition, for those times when they must be out, the committee looked at improving the criteria for substitute teaching in schools and therefore bettering education during teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; absences. The first action plan proposed by this personnel committee made up of teachers, administrators, and parents was to ensure educational improvement by establishing a new teacher induction, or mentor, program. This plan is supposed to take place starting this August and sustained as an ongoing policy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We enjoyed having guest speaker Marion Samuel come and share ideas on developing the mentor program,â&#x20AC;? said Belew. This teacher induction program includes determining elements crucial to bettering education through mentoring, new teacher orientation and specific professional development activities. District-level coordinators will be appointed to oversee the program as well as on-site mentors and administrative contacts at each school. All new teachers will be required to participate in the program until tenure is obtained. It is goaloriented in this manner

establishing a timeline for required participation and completion of the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The program is dynamic in that coordinators will solicit ongoing feedback from teachers in order to address specific needs and will be evaluated each year,â&#x20AC;? said Belew. The most important aspect of the personnel plan has to do with increasing teacher attendance while improving substitute teaching. Certified personnel with perfect attendance each quarter will be eligible for a $100 bonus per quarter payable by June 30 of that school year. Perfect attendance for all four quarters will result in an additional $100 bonus equaling a possible $500 for each teacher. They will also be eligible for a $2,000 travel voucher drawing held at the county-wide in-service. The principal of the school with the highest certified staff attendance percentage will receive $500. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What this will result in is less money spent on substitute teaching and more time spent between teacher and student,â&#x20AC;? said Belew. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Student benefits are most important to us.â&#x20AC;? Additionally, under this plan, Harvey Witherington will oversee a new training and testing program for substitute teachers. Prospective substitutes must complete a training program and pass an online test specially designed for Tipton County schools. Applicants will be able to take the course and test just once more if failed. The committee for funding has met this year to establish a strategic plan to leverage existing funding and pursue new and innovative resources over the next five years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal was to formulate action plans to seek alternative ways of funding to fulfill the mission of the Tipton County Board of Education,â&#x20AC;? said co-chairs Bobby Alsbrook and Jeff Mason. Because of the current economic condition, the team decided from the start that they would not recommend any additional taxes on the citizens of Tipton County. The committee decided to pursue avenues that would increase revenues and reduce expenditures. For example, the building maintenance department has recently re-bid the school janitorial services for the 2010-2011 school year. Out of four quality bids, the current provider was accepted at $150,000 less per school year than that of 2009-2010. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We encourage the administration to review other areas and depart-
ments in our schools for potential savings and demonstrate that the school system is operating as cost-effectively as possible and using our available resources effectively,â&#x20AC;? said Alsbrook. The team additionally had a discussion about parent teacher organizations and how some are much more successful at raising money than others. A recommendation was made that these different organizations communicate with each other to maximize their efforts for their schools. Energy conservation was next on the list of action plans proposed by the funding committee to save money. With the help of TVA and others, discussion will begin on finding specific ways we as a county can conserve energy. This can be done firstly through holding an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Energy Information Meetingâ&#x20AC;? in conjunction with events like PTO meetings, Parent Nights, or Open Nights. Schoolwide plans will be developed through newsletters and school web sites. Developing a systemwide incentive program to encourage continuous energy conservation in every school is important to the committee. Energy patrol teams in conjunction with a system-wide energy conservation policy will help monitor and evaluate energy usage on a continuous basis. If energy is conserved on a basis of 10-20 percent, estimated savings are valued from $200,000$400,000 per school year. "Educating our schools and community on simple ways to conserve energy, like simply turning computers off when not using them, adds up and helps out a lot," said Alsbrook. A very significant way to increase revenue and reduce expenditures is to increase Tipton Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sales tax base by encouraging â&#x20AC;&#x153;in-countyâ&#x20AC;? spending. The committee hopes to achieve this through developing advertising plans involving radio, community organizations, employees, billboard usage, The Leader, bumper stickers and so on. By promoting retail establishments within the county, the more business done with them increases the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sales tax revenue at no additional cost. For example, just a 10 percent increase in local spending adds $360,000 in sales tax revenue while a 15 percent increase adds $540,000. "Our schools get half of all sales tax revenue," said Alsbrook. "It makes sense for our citizens to make the effort to try and spend in the county and to not go to Memphis if

they can help it." The committee also proposed to create an Office of Development to aggressively pursue grants, endowments, wills, trust and estates. This office will organize and centralize the coordination of grant activities, identify the sources and pursue their offers. Also, the proposition calls for analyses of other school systems that have large volumes of grants and see what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing well to achieve them. An issue was left over from the Strategic Plan from 2005. A recommendation was made to build a new Munford Elementary School and renovate the existing building making it into a ninth-grade academy for Munford High School. This suggestion was proposed in order to meet the needs of the increasing growth of students at the time. The goal was to hinder overpopulation in Munford High School and possibly redistribute school zones to keep the same from happening at Brighton High School. "We basically want to address this issue as it was in 2005," said Alsbrook. "Now that growth is somewhat stagnant, the committee still felt that it needed to be addressed if trends start to change and growth increases in the future."
