By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com It was the year that the voting age was lowered from 21 to 18, “All in the Family” debuted on television and Walt Disney World opened in Florida. And 1971 was also the same year Dr. Roger Ganier began his practice in Covington. After four decades of dentistry, this month Dr. Ganier officially closed his doors. “I’ve always been in my practice where I started from the get-go,” Ganier said. “I’ve always loved dentistry and I love helping people.” He has served three generations of families in Tipton County and extended his mission to the Reelfoot area as well as to the jungles of Central America.

And by clinic, I mean a chair.” Gail recalls her husband’s help in Honduras once went beyond dental work. “There was a boy there with a toe that had almost been cut off by a machete; it was just hanging by a thread …” she said. “While another dentist stood over him praying, Roger sewed that toe back on and the toe made it. It’s one of those moments you just never forget.” Gail used to work in the office with her husband and has never forgotten that experience, either. “It’s been 40 years and a lot of laughs,” she said. “They were always back there carrying on with the patients.” In four decades, much has changed in his profession.

Handyman works to help veteran Clemmons: ‘It was the worst case of black mold I’ve ever seen in my lifetime.’ By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com A chance meeting has led a Brighton handyman to help a World War II veteran after black mold was found growing inside his bedroom. On the way to give a customer a home improvement estimate Monday, Gary Clemmons stopped at Highway 14 in Brighton. He’d only intended to buy a Coke, but the stop changed things for him. “An old gentleman approached me and started asking a million questions about what I do,” he said. “He is 91 years old and wore a World War II Veteran hat on his head. He was in the calvary, rode horses.” With a tender smile on his face, Gary shared that he and Jessy Fulcher chatted – about the war, about Gary’s job, about the recent death of Jessy’s wife. “At one point, he broke down and cried while talking about losing his
wife. He said he was her caretaker for about 18 months and could barely leave her side. He was such a nice man, it was all I could do to keep back the tears as I was talking to him.” While talking for nearly an hour at the gas station, Jessy also expressed to Gary concern over a possible leak in his tin roof. A handyman by profession, Gary agreed to visit Jessy’s home and look for evidence of a leak. But there was no roof leak. “We walked around his house, checking the roof, which was in good shape. I suggested we go inside and check things out in there,” Gary said. While walking down the hallway, Gary said he was overwhelmed by heat and humidity and knew there was moisture somewhere inside the home. “As we entered his bedroom, the water in the carpet oozed up around my shoes,” he said. “At this point, I found it hard to breathe in this room and he had been sleeping in this room every night.” Gary opened the closet door and said the smell almost knocked him down. “It was the worst case of black
mold I’ve seen in my lifetime. His clothes were saturated with mold, the walls were covered in mold. It was like scraping peanut butter off of the wall.” Gary removed Jessy’s clothes from the closet, discovering the hot water heater hidden in the corner didn’t have a pan underneath it to catch water. It was, he said, pouring water and draining out of the holes in the floor where the plumbing came through. “He didn’t know there was a problem until water backed up into the bedroom carpet. I was surprised he hadn’t gotten sick from sleeping in that room night after night.” Gary suggested Jessy stay with his closest relatives – his son and daughter-in-law in Somerville – after turning the hot water heater off. Doing so, he cautioned, would make the mold dry out and become airborne. Gary doesn’t know how long the hot water heater had been leaking, causing the mold to grow. He said the insurance company may not help Jessy because the growing mold was evidence it had been leaking for “some time.” SEE VET, PAGE A3

Last week, business leaders, teachers, school administrators, bankers and civic club members gathered to sit a spell. Or sit and spell, rather. On Thursday, March 17, teams gathered at Dyersburg State’s Jimmy Naifeh Center in Covington for the county’s first adult spelling bee. It’s not that anyone doubted their abilities - the bee was set up as a fundraiser for the Tipton County Literacy Council and was organized by the TOTAL Leadership class. “The support of the TOTAL Leadership group, community sponsorship and business prize contributions was inspiring,” said Jackie Walker, the literacy council’s executive director. “The fundraiser will allow the literacy council to sponsor four $500 continuing educational scholarships to GED recipients in Tipton County and scholarships for the

Benefit planned for Jan Hughey Smith By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com Friends of Jan Hughey Smith will be hosting a benefit on her behalf this weekend in Covington. Smith, a former Head Start teacher who is currently employed as the manager at Surreywood Apartments in Munford, is suffering from liver damage and has recently undergone three surgeries. Smith does not have health insurance. “Jan has been one that’s done anything for anyone,” said friend Barbara Patrick. “That girl, she’s got a heart of gold. She’s a wonderful person and it’s time for Tipton County to help her.” Smith first realized there was a problem when she had sharp pains and was turning yellow. She went to the doctor and is currently in
an intensive care unit. “There’s not sure if it’s cancerous or not,” Patrick said. To help raise money for their friend, Patrick and
others have organized a benefit this weekend at Patrick’s business, Gannie’s Antiques, at 211 N. Maple. The group will

‘Woody waste’ may raise revenue City officials consider biomass gasification project By SHERRI ONORATI Special to The Leader Seeking to raise revenue by recycling natural waste, the Covington Board of Mayor and Aldermen passed a resolution to authorize $4.5 million dollars for a biomass gasification project on Tuesday. “Biomass gasification is essentially taking woody waste such as trees, limbs and associated woody-type products and putting them through a special proccess which turns them into a synthetic gas,” explained Mayor David Gordon. “This is then put into electric generators which generates electricity. We have a 10-year contract agreement with TVA and they will pay us $.03 cents per kilowatt premium for every kilowatt we produced up to one megawatt. Gordon explained to the board that the city has been exploring the options and benefits of using biomass gasification for the past 10 months. “After going over the numbers, it looks like we can break even on this investment of $4.5 million running at about 40-45 percent capacity,” he said. “If we run at 85 percent capacity we should have excess revenues at $4.5 to $5 million dollars over the 10-year period.” The mayor said the reason for pursuing biomass gasification is the benefits it can provide to the city. “This will allow us to do projects such a parks and other things with this revenue that we might not be able to get done with our sales tax revenue.” The mayor assured the board they were going slowly with the idea and there were several
benchmarks which had to be met first before the city committed itself to the project. “There are a couple of things that have to happen for me to continue with this,” he assured the board. “I haven’t signed a contract with the buyers of the equipment yet. They have to convince me and produce some type of performance bond that they will meet the deadlines so that we will not out money if we don’t meet TVA’s deadline, which is Oct. 12, 2011. We’re going to watch those types of things very carefully. There is a lot of excitement about this because instead of paying to haul off and dispose of woody waste, we’re going to turn it into a revenue generating source. But if we don’t have assurances that we will meet the deadlines, I’m not signing the contract “ Hadley explained to the board that approving the resolution was not an approval to go ahead with the project. “We’re just trying to get all the paperwork in order,” added Hadley. “Just because we have the approval doesn’t mean we have to borrow until we have everything in place the mayor wants. We just have to get this ready so we can move when we need to.” Aldermen Tommy Black and John Edwards made and seconded the motion to accept the resolution to authorize the funding of the biomass gasification project. Alderman Shelvie Rose, representative for District One, brought several concerns to the board’s attention during the meeting. “We have many people who are bringing problems to District One and most of the time they are bringing it to the park,” he said. “Especially in the spring, young people who have never had cars before, want to show the community and their friends just how fast these cars go and we want to ask the parents
to talk to your children because they will be getting tickets.” Rose also commented on the issues of young people fighting and carrying guns in the park. “We don’t want guns and fighting in the park,” he added. “I am asking the community’s help in corralling many of these problems. We want to change our image. Do more fix up and paint up, plant flowers and trees to discourage bad elements from coming in your area. The police can not be on every corner, so we are going to have to do some things for ourselves and look after ourselves a little better. We don’t want these abnormal behaviors in our community.” The board approved a proclamation honoring the National Exchange Club for 100 years of service to communities around the country and proclaimed Mar. 27 as “National Exchange Club Day.” The mayor urged the citizens of Covington to recognize the past and present contributions of the National Exchange Club and to support the Covington Exchange Club in its efforts. Mayor Gordon reported the work day at CobbParr Park on Mar. 19 was a tremendous success with volunteers helping to clean the grounds, tear down the old scoreboards in preparation for new ones, fixing drainage issues and gathering trash. “A lot of citizens and residents showed up to work, in addition to Public Works and department heads,” said Gordon. “It looks like it’s in very good shape now.” The mayor invites volunteers to help with the next work day which will be held at Frazier Park on Saturday, April 30. Volunteers should meet at 8 a.m. During the sales tax report, RecorderTreasurer Jere Hadley gave the good news that citizens are continuing to shop at home.

“People are still buying things in Covington and Tipton County,” he said. “And we’ve got to have this. This is one of our major sources of revenue in Covington.” Total sales tax collected for the month of January amounted to $215,035, an increase of more than four percent over collections last year of the same month. Hadley also reported the city is above budget by $65,198 or an increase of four percent, bringing the year-to-date sales tax collection to $1,708,276, an increase of three percent over last year’s figures at this time. Ordinance 1613 was presented during a public hearing during its third and final reading. The ordinance changes the service charge for a second roll-out container from $18 to $10. The charge for the first rollout container remains at $18. The motion was made and carried with all aldermen voting for approval. New business presented included approving the winning bid for a commercial rear discharge zero turn mower the public works department. Kalb Equipment presented the winning bid of $12,890. The motion was made and approved to award Kalb Equipment with the contract. The Board of Mayor and Aldermen meets at 5:30 p.m., the second and fourth Tuesday of every month at Covington City Hall. The public is invited and encouraged to attend.
“A couple of weeks, a month … it’s hard to know, but mold grows fast,” Gary said. And now, the handyman is doing what he can to help his new friend. Gary has been working to help Jessy, attempting to solicit bids and donations to help clean the mold and make his home a safe place to live once again. He would also like to renovate Jessy’s 35-year-old kitchen. Persons willing and available to help Gary in his mission are asked to contact him at 901-485-7666. “This World War II veteran, a lifelong resident of Tipton County, needs some help,” Gary said. “His story breaks my heart, to think that he has contributed so much and at this point in his life … his house is falling down around him when he’s too old to help himself, no one is there for him. He and his comrades gave so much to us, maybe now is the time to give back just a little.”

Continued from A1 before computerized scheduling and billing, the “pen and ink” days, he said. “We didn’t have high-speed turbines, electric hand pieces or lasers,” Dr. Ganier said. “Digital x-rays weren’t on the scene then, either.” In the 1970s, he said small, one-person dental practices were prevalent, but now it’s almost necessary to have more than one dentist in an office for economic reasons. This month, Dr. Ganier is hanging up his dental instruments and concentrating his efforts elsewhere. “My son’s in the sod business and I’m working for him. I do enjoy being outside so this is a good second job for me.” Originally from Dyersburg, Ganier said he has enjoyed living, working and raising a family in Covington. “Covington is such a great place for me to live,” he said. “Tipton County’s been wonderful to me and I’m very grateful and very happy.” In addition to working with his son, Ganier will spend time turkey hunting. He and his wife will celebrate 40 years of marriage in November. They are the proud parents of Alex and Allison and grandparents of six. Dr. Michelle Woodward-Edmonds has taken over Ganier’s practice. For more information, contact Dr. Michelle at 901-475-0805.

'New pro and son'
Thursday, March 7, 1968 Golfer Larry Holloway assumed his duties as manager of the Covington Country Club on March 1. He was found on the first tee Tuesday afternoon giving his son, Jimmy, a pointer or two.
The smell of gold I can go back in time now and recollect a smidgen of us puttin’ in our first garden. Years later on one of our famous front porch talks Momma and Daddy discussed the hard work and calculations of the dimensions, need, drainage and locations for our upcoming vegetables. Sometimes I think there was more studying on this situation than on the Battle of Shiloh. My country farmers know what I’m speaking of. Think about the corner posts, depth, height, wire, strength, the size of staples, and length of braces and the distance between diggings. These designs would make ole Frank Lloyd (Mrs. Wright’s little boy) kinda’ proud. Of course, nowadays if someone desired a little vegetable garden they would just hire someone to lay it out while they’re at work or wherever. But when you are ‘pore’ you do all yo’ own scuffling. Proudly, that’s what we did. Actually Daddy did ‘pert nigh’ all the work, but I was the head swamper. (Southernese for number one helper) Neighbor, going back in time revives some
right before a good pond water baptizing. Now brother, that’s emotional. But understand there’s gold in them there stalls and stables. Brother, the fun began. Since we had no tools to speak of, Daddy meandered around and came up with some used equipment that wouldn’t hold up in a good ’coon hunt. He hooked the two wheeled trailer to a hitch on the back of the nineteen forty Ford coupe and we commenced hauling gold and piling it in the edge of the garden spot. The shovel was taller, the pick axe was heavier, the hay fork was bundle some and floppy, the three pronged pitchfork made nice little holes in my legs and I wanted to run away. But I had a vision come over me of clothes, food, and a roof when it was raining. So I just kept picking and shoveling. Maybe some of those Yale right winged intellectual type do-gooders probably would call this child abuse. But we rednecks just called it trying to survive. Country digging and loading some old golden Memories… Glory!

Readers' Views Bee a S-U-C-C-E-S-S Dear editor, The Tipton County Literacy Council had an adult spelling bee fundraiser on Thursday, March 17, which was implemented by the 2010-2011 Adult TOTAL Leadership group. The support of the TOTAL Leadership group, community sponsorship and business prize contributions was inspiring. The fundraiser will allow the literacy council to sponsor four $500 continuing educational scholarships to GED recipients in Tipton County and scholarships for the
$55 GED exam fee. There are approximately 8,500 residents of Tipton County who have not completed high school, but with the continued support of the community, we will prepare our adults to continue their education. I would like to thank the sponsors who made this spelling bee a success: BancorpSouth, Clayton Bank and Trust, Irish I’s, The Leader, Covington Rotary Club, First State Bank, Hamilton-Ryker, Making Memories Daycare, Mueller Industries, Munford High School and Brighton High School. Prizes were provided by Avon,
Charms, Farmer’s Insurance of Atoka, Glass Tire, Glen Eagle Golf Course, Helena Chemical, Kroger, Marlo’s Down Under, Merle Norman, Millington YMCA, Old Town Hall and Post Office Barbeque. The spelling bee would not have been a success without the TOTAL Leadership group of 20102011. Thank you all! Jackie Walker, executive director Tipton County Literacy Council

in the home, or a new dish she has made. This is when the waters are very dangerous and man traps abound, so here one must learn to be most tactful, diplomatic, and sometimes downright dishonest. Of course, I have never had to be as my wife’s hair, dress, decor and dinner are always perfect, but some of those other guys! Aside from exempted marital situations, just give your thoughts for free. Be prepared to have disagreement, but don’t take it personal. On
issues of form and style, one can usually conform or compromise on many matters, but as Thomas Jefferson said, “On issues
of principle, stand like a rock against the current”. Anyway, that’s my thought, whatever it’s worth.
HARDIN
Continued from page A4 that there are times when I’m asked to opine that I can have a tendency to get right to the heart of a matter rather too directly. Time, experience, and age have tempered me to be more tactful, but I can still get a rise out of folks if I’m not careful. Of course, I have to confess that there are times I don’t try to be careful. I suppose my military background combined with a confidence in convictions has made me a rather direct person about a lot of things. In the service you were expected to know what you wanted to say, and then just say it. I’ve also been blessed to work in environments where people generally had a thick skin, and as long as you were professional and did not take differences in opinion personally, you could generally speak freely. I’ve learned that folks often do not want to hear the truth when they ask your thoughts on a matter. Sometimes people just want you to affirm what they think or believe, whether right or wrong. The real stress I find when asked my opinion is when my wife asks about her new hairdo, a dress, something she has done to decorate

Some Great Thing There was a flood. The water kept rising. As the waters got deeper and deeper, the man retreated to the roof of his home. He prayed fervently that God would save him from the flood. The deeper the water got, the more fervently he prayed. As he prayed, he saw a log float by but he stayed on the roof. Then a boat approached and the man rowing the boat begged him to get in. The man on the roof replied, “I’m waiting for the Lord to save me." The man in the boat reluctantly rowed away. Finally a helicopter appeared with a ladder dangling from its belly, but he waved the helicopter away, all the while praying for God to save him. Eventually the house was submerged by the flood and the man drowned. Awaking in heaven, he complained to God saying, “Why didn’t you save me?” God replied, “I tried to- three times. I sent a log, then a boat and finally a helicopter.” This is a fictional story but it illustrates a problem many have concerning salvation. Many are looking for “some great thing” from God, a miracle if you will. The means of salvation from the flood was not what this man expected or how he thought it should be so he simply ignored it. Likewise the world ignores the simple plan of God to save them. The Bible tells us of a man named Naaman (II Kings 5), who was the captain of all the Syrian army. Naaman was a leper. Naaman and the company with him eventually end up at Elisha’s door to be healed. Elisha, the prophet of God, sends word by his servant to Naaman to go dip seven times in the Jordan River
and he will be cleansed. Naaman was not pleased with this simple command. II Kings 5:11 But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper. 12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? May I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage. Naaman was blessed with wise servants who reasoned with him. II Kings 5:13 And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? How much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean? His servants realized his ego and his pride were keeping him from his cure. If he had been told to wage a war or rescue a damsel in distress, he would not have hesitated for a moment for that would be a great thing. Their argument to him was: If you would do some great thing, some difficult thing, why not just do the simple thing he said, “Wash, and be clean.” Cooler heads prevailed and Naaman did obey the word of God from Elisha. II Samuel 5:14 Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. Both the man who drowned and Naaman were looking for “some great thing” to save them. For both, the way of salvation

was in their grasp but it was not the way they thought it should be. The way of salvation was simple, so simple that the man who drowned did not recognize it. So simple that Naaman turned up his nose at it and thought it was beneath his dignity to comply with the terms of salvation. Luckily Naaman had wise counsel who convinced him to accept God’s will on God’s terms and Naaman was saved from his leprosy. People today refuse God’s salvation. They are looking for some great thing- a vision, a sign, a miracle, some better felt than told experience. God has sent us some great thing, His Son. (John 3:16) His Son has given us a great thing- the gospel, the power to save us. Ro 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Hear the words of Jesus himself: “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel (Why? Because it is God’s power to save) to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized (Our salvation is predicated on obedience to the gospel) shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” Mark 16:15-16 But the word not obeyed is like medicine not taken, it does not do a bit of good. Heb 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation? By Rick Huffman. He is an elder for the Gilt Edge Church of Christ located at 10726 Hwy 59 W, Gilt Edge.

Strange Painted Bird By: Elizabeth Ralph
I stand here staring at a blank page of where you were. At this moment, I am an empty shell. The breath of you lies silent in all of us as we stare, glassy eyed into this new land. Nothing matters. Physical pain does not live in this body. We stand here now flickering the light upon still dark water and stoop by the river to search for a reason to the loss of our treasured artist. The second greatest tragedy to losing your first born son is losing a brother. He lived with me through the loss of mine and told me how he was now my brother and would be forever. But that’s not what happened. Instead, the burnt orange Arkansas glow backed its claws across the sky in a reclamation of innocence in it’s cruelest way. No air that has yet set forth before or beyond this moment would or will stand taller. His sensitive intelligent nature left on us like a film of woodsmoke. As one of his favorite authors Cormac McCarty once said, “Shrouded in the black thunderheads the distant lightning glowed mutely like welding seen through a foundry smoke. As if repairs were under way at some flawed place in the iron dark of the world.” I see now that he himself was his teaching. Those days we ate burritos in a room full of guitars we now call life. I watched his father one night as we sat in the living room on Park Street and listened to him play music. That night I saw love in its rawest form. Those were the moments you taught us to look for. Those times when he asked us to walk in his world and fall silent not to the question but to the encryption of the answer. A demeanor like smeared paint across a used canvas. He wasn’t afraid to shake hands with the joker and dared us all to do the same. Each of us here tonight had things we could talk to him about that we can’t even say to each other. Part of the crime in this is everyone had something special with Clinton, and it will not be re-created. He and Rex were close not because they were alike but because they didn’t need to say it. He was a snake charmer, living off the smoking tray of life only to scream in the face of normalcy not to prove a point but to bring us all into his wavy sort of light. His artwork urged us to abandon the simple thoughts in life and swim deeper. He saw the world like no one should have been allowed to and handed it back to us without
reclaim. He didn’t need us but we needed him. You couldn’t hurt him, but you just as easily could. He moved through life like a smoke cloud burning from a stick in the corner of the room. On Sunday March 6th he wrote on his blog, “I Go Through Phases Lately. More poems and rambling prose are promised soon. Thanks for watching and tune in tomorrow, you never know and neither do I.” For his mother there is no better description than to say that they were the same. No subject untouched. Artistic seeds symbiotically watered with countless hours talking, laughing, and creating. To say they understood each other would be a belittlement. To say she loved him would not go far enough. More correctly, you would say he was a part of her broken off and re-shaped. You were a flaming ball of Hunter Thompson, John Frusciante and Faulkner that lived in some thirty year old faded corduroy jacket my grandfather wore and an orange ski hat that used to have a squirrel live in it. I’ll never forget how mad you got when Nonnie told you she was gonna throw seeds in your truck and grow a garden. One thing is for sure though, if there was anything you didn’t want to hear about yourself just ask Clinton. People have been asking what they can do, so here is a suggestion. If you want to show your respect for Clinton, take a moment to practice what he taught. Take some time tonight or tomorrow or whenever you can and ask someone how they feel and mean it. Circumvent small talk and instead ask someone what moves them and why they carry on each day. Leave behind ego driven conversations about what you posses or desire to obtain. Feel the fluid of life like he would want you to by doing something out of the ordinary. Pour yourself a glass of wine at 3am when you can’t sleep. Park with one tire on the curb and dare them to give you a ticket. Carry your luggage in a black trash bag and not care. And best of all, if you do get a ticket, drop it off at Nonnie’s house and she’ll mail the check. Clinton, you were beyond your years but you’ll forever soar with us. Just like you are. Always, our strange painted bird.

BES continues accreditation AdvancED visits BES, recommends accreditation
Brighton, TN - March 22, 2011 - Principal Michael Hughes announced today that Brighton Elementary School earned continuing accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI), an accreditation division of AdvancED. The action was recommended after the AdvancED Accreditation Quality Assurance Review Team recently visited Brighton Elementary on March 5-9, 2011. Brighton Elementary has been accredited since 2000. SACS CASI provides nationallyrecognized accreditation, the purpose of which is continuous school improvement focused on increasing student performance. To earn
accreditation, schools must meet SACS CASI's high standards, be evaluated by a team of professionals from outside the school, and implement a continuous process of school improvement. Accreditation is granted on a fiveyear term. "Accreditation demonstrates to our students, parents, and community that we are focused on raising student achievement, providing a safe and enriching learning environment and maintaining an efficient and effective operation staffed by highly qualified educators," stated principal Michael Hughes. SACS CAST accreditation is recognized across state lines, which Dot only eases the transfer process
as students move from accredited school to accredited school but also assures parents that the school is meeting nationally accepted standards for quality and successful professional practice. Dr. Mark Elgart, President/CEO of AdvancED, the parent organization of SACS CASI, said, "SACS CASI Accreditation is a rigorous process that focuses the entire school on the primary goal of creating lifelong learners. Brighton Elementary is to be commended for engaging in this process and demonstrating a commitment to continuous improvement." Parents and interested community members can learn more about accreditation. at www. advanc-ed.org.

Munford picks up two big wins Lady Chargers have tough encore
By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com The season is still young, but the Munford baseball team has already made a statement with a pair of wins over two of the better programs in Shelby County. Munford picked up a dramatic 9-8 win over perennial power Collierville Friday and took out Cordova last Tuesday 9-8. Munford trailed Collierville 7-0 after two innings before rallying for three runs in the third, four in the sixth and finally two in the seventh to earn the win. Cale Fultz earned the win for Munford in relief. The Cougars used a similar blueprint against Cordova. After following behind 3-1 through five innings Munford scored three in the bottom of the fifth and one in the seventh to secure the win. Munford also picked up a 10-0 win over Haywood last Wednesday in the Lewis Harris Memorial Tournament. Casey Crowe picked up the win for the Cougars and Stephen Stewart homered.

In other baseball action, Tipton Rosemark Academy picked up a couple of impressive wins. On Monday the Rebels rode Andrew Ralston’s homerun to a 12-2 win over Millington. Erik Seeing took advantage of 12 TRA hits to earn the win, holding
the Trojans to just four hits. TRA also beat Cordova 2-1 last Wednesday. Andrew Ralston earned the win for the Rebels and Cody Migliore picked up the save. Two TRA runs in the third proved to be enough.
Lady Cardinals off to good start By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com The Brighton Lady Cardinals, as well as the other area softball teams, got the 2011 softball season off to a good start last week. Over the weekend Brighton went 6-1 in the Sarah Beth Whitehead tournament in Jackson, Tenn., to start off the season with an 8-2 mark. The team’s signature win came Saturday with a 4-2 victory over perennial power Trinity Christian Academy.
Laura Judy scattered nine hits over seven innings, holding TCA scoreless until the seventh inning, and the Lady Cardinal offense took care of the rest. Megan McDivitt homered for the Lady Cardinals and Caroline Jacobs, Laura Judy, Hadley Wilkins and Ali Christmas each had two hits for Brighton. Brighton’s only loss came against McKenzie in a 2-1 setback. Judy was the winning pitcher in Brighton wins against Hickman

Roxanna Kimes held the Lady Saints to two hits to earn the win.
Chargers ranked fifth in pre-season By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader Coach David Sage’s Charger baseball team starts the season with some lofty recognition from the state’s sports writers, a #5 pre-season ranking. Optimism is high in Charger Country for the 2011 squad as they look for a deep run into the state playoffs. How about a 3rd championship banner? After being rained out in the opener against a powerful CBHS squad, the Chargers took on the 3rd ranked AAA team in the state, the Arlington Tigers. The Tigers prevailed 4-1 with Will Cooley taking the loss. He went 6 innings allowing only 2 hits while recording 8 strikeouts. “ Will pitched a good game,” said Sage. “We have to learn to make the routine plays behind our pitcher to be successful.” The Chargers were tagged with 4 errors in
the game. Bobby bailey had a pair of doubles and an RBI. Tyler Davis and Blake Caughorn had a single each. The Chargers played two games in the Lewis Harris Memorial Tournament in Memphis winning both. On March 16 CHS defeated Fayette Academy 14-4. Conner Faulk got the win. He pitched 5 innings allowing 4 runs (1 earned) while striking out 9. He gave up 3 hits and walked 6. Faulk added a pair of singles an RBI and scored 2 runs. Tyler Davis had a pair of singles. Will Cooley and Dylan Schlauch singled
It will be a tough act to follow. The 2011 Lady Charger softball team has big shoes to fill on the heels of the record setting season of their 2010 predecessors. Nonetheless, coach Martha Lawler seems to always put a quality product on the field. This year’s team will prove to be no less. CHS opened the 2011 campaign with a 6-0 shutout of the Haywood Lady Tomcats on March 17. Autumn Glenn and Kaitlyn Ashburn led the hit parade with a pair apiece. Glenn was the winning pitcher allowing only 2 hits. Covington moved on to the Sara Beth Whitehead tourney in Jackson March 18-19 where they went 3-0. They were undefeated in pool play but suffered their 1st defeat of the year in bracket
play at the hand of Dyer County. In the opening game CHS dropped South Gibson 7-0 on a no hitter from Gabby Glenn. She struck out 9 and walked 3. Glenn popped 2 homers to aid her own cause. Sister Autumn added a single and a double in the win. In the 2nd pool game, Autumn Glenn got the win over Crockett Co. 12-0, allowing only 2 hits while striking out 2. Ryleigh Deverell, Jamie Hollingsworth and Hannah Clifton each had a pair of hits. Whitney Cook added a home run. In the final pool game, Briarcrest was the victim, 5-0. Gabby Glenn got the win striking out 9 while allowing 6

The men's Saturday prayer breakfast was on March 12 at 8 a.m. was at Randolph Assembly and was a good turnout. Rev. J. N. Austill of Westside Church was the speaker. The Randolph pastor is Larry Rose. Evangelist Josh Franks and wife, Ashley, had a baby girl in January and named her Priscilla Rose. They were in

Hi everyone, The sunshine we have had for several days has been a real joy, not to mention the 80-degree temperatures. Even with my big old black cataract sunglasses, I still got pleasure in its beauty. I finally got an opportunity to get some plants I had purchased a week ago in some pots and a few in the ground. I've still got to get my pansies in the ground and finish cutting some smaller crepe myrtle branches. As we age, it just takes a little longer to get some things done. But I still love doing it. Well, over the weekend we took in three grandkids' ball games. I cannot wait until Addie starts hers. Saturday was so pretty. We purchased artificial flowers and went

Hello Readers, How beautiful our spring is beginning. I suppose you could say spring has sprung! And the allergies have too. Pollen has begun to collect on my car, so yep it is in the air. I've noticed a lot of crepe myrtles haven't been pruned. Hey, Neal including ours! Better get on it before they start to leaf out. Now is a good time for those who are itching to get out in the yard to get your equipment serviced. Our world is in such turmoil. Prophetically speaking, the Bible speaks of the world in this state during the last days before the second coming of Christ. We need to get ready for what ever hard times are ahead. We also need to pray for the world and the innocent children
revival recently at Simonton Assembly of God Church. Tim Glimp is the pastor. Brandon Blackmon had a birthday on March 11. Callie Blyue, Josh Blyue, Erica Davis and Dustin Marbary took him out to eat. It's time to clean the Randolph cemetery on March 26 and April . Be there at 9 a.m. and bring your rakes. Aubrianna Wallace was home from college for the weekend recently. Joyce Goodwin of Nashville visited her mother, Margaret Partlow on
to all the cemeteries to put out spring flowers. I have family at Memorial Gardens on Poplar and other family at the Woodhaven Cemetery in Millington, and then to Salem Cemetery where Charlie's parents are buried. So they are all ready for spring too. Charlie finally got our lawn mower going the first of the week. I would give anything to be the first to cut the grass, but, due to my eye surgery, I have got to be a good girl and do what the doc said. It's so hard to be under orders. Hopefully, I've learned mine now. Salem Presbyterian Church Worship is at 11 a.m. each Sunday morning. Rec. Charles Todd is our minister. Everyone is always welcome. This Sunday night, March 27, the Senior High Youth will meet at the manse who suffer from the decisions of others. World tragedies like Japan are going to be part of the destruction of our earth as we know it. My youngest grandson, Riggs, just had his fourth birthday. It seems impossible that he could be four already. The twins are doing well and they are two months now too. As far as I know at this moment, all the other children are well and happy. The stomach bug has long passed through our family so hopefully it won't visit us again for a long time. Last weekend the girls and I went to the Southern Women show. My mother used to go every year. So now which ever daughters are able go head out with me to the show. And we have a blast. One of the things we really got a hoot out of was the exercise hoops. They are not just any hoops! Not the ones we had as kids but heavier
Burlison Eddie Kellum
Hello from Burlison, Have you heard about the ghost cities in China? Well I hadn’t until a few days ago. My wife, Paula was on the computer and told me to check this out. Now I’m not talking about ghost cities and towns like you see in westerns where there’s a sherriff’s office, jail, general store, boarding house and saloon. These cities are built in the desert and consist of sky scrapers, apartment buildings, and metro domes. The Chinese are busy building new cities as their real estate market explodes. There is just one problem. These cities are virtually uninhabited. The cities are being built to create an exploding housing market, wherein investors and developers are making it look as if there’s a large market, but in reality it seems to be an illusion as this real estate is not being sold. The estimation is that China now has 64 million vacant homes in these ghost cities and are building up to 20 new cities per year on the country’s “vast swathes of free land." It is speculated that the Chinese need to put their money somewhere, so developers have decided to build these cities as a place to store the wealth, even if the Chinese building these cities do not intend to live in them and there is no prospect they can find renters or buyers. Imagine brand new cities being built that no one lives in. Don’t you suppose there has to be a Chinese family or two living in a hut that would like to live in one of those brand new high rise apart-
at 5:30 for supper and Bible study. A memorial was given by to Salem Church by Catherine Malone in memory of Harold Wilson. Happy birthdays this week go to Charlotte Draffin, Sec Evans, Austin Willy and Jennifer Ridinger. I hope they are each the greatest! Sharon Presbyterian Church Worship is at 9 a.m. each Sunday morning. Rev. Charles Todd is the minister. We welcome members, friends and visitors to the fellowship of Sharon. Hope you will return. We are always grateful for our Dunlap residents who are able to be with us. Covington Church of Christ Worship is at 10:30 a.m. each Sunday morning and again at 5:30 p.m. Sunday afternoons. ones with water. Neat I'd say! The set comes with ones for your arms and legs too. I think Hannah Mae did better than any of us on balancing them and keeping them rolling. We'll have to let you know how they work out. Talking about working out! OMG. Jessica Hicks has been really working hard at the gym and is looking great! She, April Walk, and Lindsey Wilson have all been working hard. I think they have a vacation planned to Florida this summer. They will be the bomb on the beach! The BHS band had their Brighton Fest and Car Show last weekend. From the crowd at the school it must have been a good one. They will surely need this fundraiser to succeed because I believe this next year will be their biggest enrollment for marching band. The football strawberries fundraiser
ments? And what is the end plan for building these cities? China’s unemployment rate for 2010 was reported to be 4.6%. Maybe China is building cities just to let them sit for a number of years and then create a new industry to tear them down? Lower unemployment numbers, stimulate the economy and fatten China’s pocket books? Just a thought! Who knows how much of the money used to build these uninhabited cities are coming out of American’s pockets? We all know that we are highly in debt to China, which is paid by our tax dollars. I’ve read that debt is around $ 2.5 Trillion. That’s trillion with a capital "T." Some of the debt is for the stimulus packages passed by our government. Did the little bit of stimulus money that came into your household do any good? It didn’t at my house. Now we, our children and our children’s children will be paying it back for years to come. And now the United States is participating in military air strikes against the cruel dictator of another middle eastern country. I know there will be many opinions on this, but do you ever wonder how much further American tax dollars can be stretched, not to mention our military? These days it’s difficult to fill up your gas tanks and provide food for your family. I hope you have a wonderful week and thank you for reading.

Sunday March 13. They went to church at Poplar Grove United Methodist. Carol Lumley, Jeff and Connie Pickard went fishing recently. They always eat the ones they catch and they had good luck. Ann Morris son, Mike that lives at Barlettes is good about spending time with her. Sometimes they ride around on his motorcycle. Robert “Red” and Connie Wright married March 6, 1960. They were honored on Saturday, March 12 with a reception for their golden wedding Bible study is at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday mornings and again at 7 p.m. on Wednesday evenings. Everyone is always welcome. Brother Mike Rogers is our minister and brother Jeff Phillips is our associate minister. We are so blessed to have them both. I regret to inform you of our loss of a brother in Christ, brother Roy Randolph. Roy passed away last Friday and his burial was Monday. Please remember these people in your prayers: Miss Judy, Amanda and Craig and all the grandchildren, especially Mallory as she stands by her mom. He had suffered a very long time and we all believe he was ready to go. Also, remember Mrs. Marlene Brown in the death of her sister, Mrs. Hazel Mooneyham. Also, please continue to remember our minister's mother, Mrs. Florence Robertson

and Shorty Dunaway. Congratulations to all of you. In closing, I would like to thank the city's beautiful program for cleaning up our road. Trash had been there for several months and was getting as high as the road in some spots. It makes us not feel so ashamed of the road we live on. I wish people would be more considerate. I'm assuming it's mostly teens. But who really knows? Oh yes and I would like to thank Mrs. Louise Vandergrift for my cute joking 2011 Obama calendar. All you republicans would love it. Have a great week everyone.

Hello everyone! I trust all of you are doing well and are enjoying this beautiful weather! We are too. We have the doors open and windows and everything else we can find that opens so that good fresh air comes in and slows away all those germs that have been floating around. Let me go ahead and tell you all the date of our “Springfest.” It will be held on May 24 from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. We are working on all the details now and I will let you know more as time goes on! But for now, please mark your calendar for a fun-filled
day here at Dunlap Retirement Center. We plan to have all the fun things plus maybe a few surprises! So stay tuned. One thing I ask of you ladies that read my column (and men as far as that goes), if you read my column each week would you please consider baking a cake for the “Cake Auction.” That would be awesome! It doesn't have to be anything fancy, just a 9” x 13” cake or whatever you would be willing to make and bring over that morning between 10 and 11 o'clock. I would be so appreciative if my readers would give their support! My new maintenance man has sure got this place looking good! Because we did not have a lawnmower all last fall, the leaves are still all over the place so he's having to rake and burn them. So if there is anyone out there that would like to come
and volunteer some community service, this is the place you can do that. We haven't had the youth groups come in this year like usual. I guess everyone is just too busy! We all have lives that are just too busy, huh? Seems like it never used to be that way. But it's really gotten to that point! Sometimes I meet myself coming back! We are very sad to lose Ms. Tricky Hoffman from our Dunlap family. Ms. Tricky had to go to a high level of care. You will be truly missed Ms. Tricky. You have been an inspiration to all of us! Your smiling face brightens any room at anytime! But we send you our love and prayers. The past several weeks, we have had trouble getting my notes in, so here's hoping they get in this week. I guess they have been getting lost in cyber-
space for the last four or five weeks, but we got 'em in last week. Everyone don't forget we have some rooms here at Dunlap for the aged, the folks who can no longer live by themselves but do not need a nursing home or assisted living facilities. Here, we cook three meals a day, do your laundry, clean your room and assist with your medication. So if you know of anyone who is in need of this type of facility, please have them contact me at 476-7014. I would live to talk with them and set up a tour of our facility. Until next week, God bless you all and don't forget to give somebody a big hug and tell them you love them. You never know what impact a hug can have on a person, especially a lonely person. We're all God's children!

It's a warm sunny Tuesday morning at Mt. Carmel. The high was 80 today, about like it was yesterday. Had to get the short sleeves out but it's gonna be 59 degrees next Monday. Spring in Tennessee! I got my new vanity top installed last Tuesday by no other than Charlie Brown! No, really; that was his name! That afternoon Helen and Michael Moore came and picked out a pup - the cute gray and black one. We have two solid black pups left and I wish someone would help us out! I kept Lyla Thursday, never got her to take a nap and she was worn out. I think Liz got her to sleep before she left for work. Saturday the three of us strolled around town and did some shopping. Lyla was 11 months old on Sunday and she wore a new lavender dress we got Saturday and looked so pretty! Friday morning I took my dad, Kenneth Weir, to the Treasure Hunters at the Holiday Inn and he sold his coin collection. I bet he got the biggest check they wrote that day! He was happy with it. That night Cammy
but it would have to be, making a movie out of that fairy tale! Very, very big twist at the end! See it but know it's not for little children. The fairy tale was scary enough to me when I was young. Seeing it was even scarier! I went out to see that "Full Worm Moon" Saturday night. It was 14% bigger than usual and very bright. Channel 3's Austin Onek called it that also, but didn't explain why. It was a pretty sight though! We were saddened at church on Sunday because of al the bad news. Our dear brother Roy Randolph passed away on Friday and we learned that Hazel Mooneyham, sister of Marlene Brown, had died, as well as my Leader boss years ago, Joyce Marbry. Tanner Mason was there with his parents, Ken and Susan, to see his grandparents, Kenneth and Brenda, before he shipped out today. My thoughts and prayers go out to all these and their families. It was a rough Sunday morning. Little Ryleigh Danielle Sallee remains in the hospital but she is doing all right. She was born on March 11 and weighed four pounds, four ounces and was 17 inches long.

AT&T announces U-Verse service in Brighton Brighton and Tipton County customers get new tv service that ranks highest in customer satisfaction in J.D. Power and Associates study - AT&T Brighton and Tipton County residents now have a new choice for their television and communications services powered by advanced technology. AT&T* today announced the launch of AT&T U-verse® services in parts of Brighton and Tipton County, including AT&T U-verse TV, AT&T U-verse High Speed Internet and AT&T U-verse Voice. The introduction of these new services in Brighton is part of an ongoing expansion of AT&T U-verse availability. AT&T U-verse launched in Tennessee in December 2008. “Additional choices and competition is great news for the citizens of Tipton County,” said Speaker Emeritus Jimmy Naifeh. “The introduction of these new services gives us new innovations for enjoying TV and Internet access when so many cities and towns are competing for new technology investments.” AT&T U-verse services, which are all delivered over AT&T’s advanced Internet Protocol (IP) network, offer a new alternative to cable with a better DVR, better features and apps, and a better TV experience. AT&T U-verse brings together your TV, broadband, home phone and AT&T wireless services — all on one bill — with unique features that provide a new level of integration, convenience and control. Now AT&T U-verse TV ranks “Highest in Residential Television Service Satisfaction in the South, Three Years in a Row,” according to the J.D.

The law provides an environment that encourages new video providers, such as AT&T Tennessee, to invest in Tennessee to compete against incumbent cable providers. “I’ve believed for some time now that our collective success is tied to having access to leading edge technologies that can keep us connected,” said Tipton
County Mayor Jeff Scott. “This is a real plus to have this kind of investment coming to our community to make next-generation broadband and video services a reality.” “Tipton County is continuing to grow and compete for investment and jobs thanks to the leadership shown by Speaker Emeritus Jimmy Naifeh,” said Rosemary Bridges, president, South Tipton Chamber of Commerce. “His work through public policy is creating an environment that attracts investment and encourages innovation to make Tipton County stronger and more prosperous.” More Choice, Advanced Features AT&T U-verse TV is the only 100 percent Internet Protocol-based television (IPTV) service offered by a national service provider, making AT&T U-verse one of the most dynamic and application-rich services available today, with advanced capabilities that customers don’t get from other providers.

By SHERRI ONORATI Special to The Leader A new roof and a much needed fire truck was the topic of discussion at the most recent City of Covington Finance and Administration Committee meeting held at City Hall on Mar. 15. First before the committee was a request from the Boys & Girls Club of the Hatchie River Region (BGCHRR) board of directors asking the City of Covington to contribute $100,000 towards repairing the roof and HVAC system of the Frazier Gym building, the location of the newly established club. The BGCHRR has partnered with Children & Family Services (CFS) to share the Frazier school facilities and much needed repairs are necessary to accommodate the additional use. In a letter to the mayor, BGCHRRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of directors explained CFS is eligible for a $461,000 grant from USDA to complete renovations of the facility but some repairs must be made prior to receiving the grant. The necessary repairs are anticipated to cost $133,000 of which the organization has $31,000 on hand. The building is owned by the City of Covington and the city will benefit from approximately $600,000 in repairs in exchange for its $100,000 investment. Citing that it is in the best interest of the City of Covington and its residents, the motion was made and carried to approve the request of the Boys & Girls Club Hatchie
River Region board of directors for the $100,000 for the roof and HVAC repairs and that Covingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20102011 budget be amended to reflect this change. Next, Fire Chief Jerry Craig presented to the committee that the fire truck purchased with Outside Fire Service Charges is unreliable and a replacement is needed. Craig explained to the committee to help offset the estimated $275-325,000 cost of a new truck, he has received a bid of $80,000 for the old one. A motion was made and carried to refer the matter to the General Welfare-Public Safety Committee for further study and recommendations on the purchase of a new fire truck. A motion was made and passed to authorize the sale of the old fire truck for at least $80,000. Mrs. Fran Kidwell presented a petition to the committee to have the speed limit on Highway 59 East reduced to 45 mph. The Tennessee Department of Transportation requires a Traffic Safety Study before the speed limit can be changed. Upon completion oft he study they will make a recommendation to the Finance & Administration Committee. Also before the committee was a motion made by Alderman Tommy Black who proposed the City set up a recycling program to collect surplus keys and sell to scrap dealers with the funds benefiting city programs. The motion passed.

Awards night held for Boy Scouts By MICHAEL DULANEY Special to The Leader
PLAYING AT THE COLLEGE LEVEL On March 11, Brighton High School senior Danny Potter signed a football scholarship with Bethel University. Pictured are (first row) BHS head coach, Will Wolfe, student Danny Potter, Kelly Potter, Curryann Potter, (back row) Brock Willis, Willie Fells, Bethel University coach Keith Potter and BHS athletic director Chic Nute.
The evening of February 12th was a big night for some local Boy Scouts and their leaders. The West Tennessee Area Council held their annual “Gathering of Eagles” at the Council’s award banquet. Along with recognizing 15 Tipton county Scouts for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout in 2010, awards were presented to some of the Scout leaders in the county. Al Cresanto and Joe Willis were awarded the Silver Beaver award for their outstanding contributions to Scouting in West Tennessee. This is the council-level distinguished service award of the Boy Scouts of America. Recipients of this award are registered adult leaders who have made an impact on the lives of youth through service given to the council. The Silver Beaver is an award given to those who implement the Scouting program and perform community service through hard work, self sacrifice, dedication, and many years of service. It is given to those who do not actively seek it. Al Cresanto has been working with Scouting since 1999 as an Assistant Den Leader in Cub Scout Pack 66 in Munford. He later joined Troop 66 as
an Assistant Scoutmaster then Scoutmaster for 6 years. He has served on the Big Hatchie District Committee, district training team, council training team, and on Wood Badge adult leader training. He has twice attended the Philmont National Center in Cimarron, NM for volunteer adult leader training. Most recently he served as Assistant Scoutmaster for the West Tennessee Area Council’s National Jamboree troop in 2010. The Jamboree was held at Fort AP Hill, VA with approximately 50,000 Scouts in attendance. Joe Willis has served as an Assistant Cubmaster and Cubmaster of Pack 66 in Munford. In 2006 he transitioned with his son Cody to Troop 66 where he took on the positions of Assistant Scoutmaster and Patrol Advisor. He is also serving as a Unit Commissioner for Big Hatchie District and Associate Advisor for Venture Crew 1420 in Covington. Joe has served many years as the Aquatics Director at Camp Mack Morris in Camden, as District Cub Scout Day Camp Director and on staff for the National Youth Leadership Training Course for 2007. Outside of Scouting, he has been a coach at the Special Olympics in both golf and swimming.
