Program helps patients get well, go home

EVENTS

By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com The Covington Manor Nursing Home has taken on a whole new look and feel as well as a new agenda in regards to their patients and residents. On Oct. 12, 2010, the new Tipton County rehab unit opened after months of work. An entire hospital wing was renovated, as well as the rest of the nursing home. These renovations are also part of the new Get Well, Go Home Program which also exists to ease the burden and have better care of senior citizens leaving the hospital in Tipton County. “We’ve moved from an institutional feel to a homelike environment and now to that of a fivestar hotel,” said Scott Hurst, the nursing home administrator. This move has been the result of the unit’s new customer excellence initiative in which is designed for giving world-class services to patients and the community. The rehab unit mimics home life to get patients ready to go back home as soon as possible. Utilities like a washer and dryer and a full kitchen are a part of the facility, acclimating residents to home life and preparing them for the move. For the first time, residents are able to find this rehabilitation here in Tipton County. SEE MANOR, A2

Students use Skype to extend classroom By JUSTIN HANSON WMC-TV, Memphis For Amber Sowell’s fourth graders at Munford Elementary, Monday was not just another day in the classroom. “They are fascinated. They are glued to the screen. It’s so much better than a TV or something like that,” Sowell said. On most days, students use Skype to help students learn halfway across the country. Earlier this week, they were learning about rocks, weathering, and erosion from a geologist in Utah. “It doesn’t make teaching easier, it makes it more engaging, and that’s the real goal all of our teachers need to have,” said Munford Elementary principal Mary Haywood. The idea to go global using Skype started as a result of a Flat Stanley project. Each student

Cause for celebration A centennial of service to the country brings dozens out to celebrate the Exchange Club By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com

ozens of blue balloons, released in honor of a civic club’s centennial, filled the air around the historic court square Tuesday. It was all part of an official ceremony proclaiming the day as one in which the Exchange Club is to be celebrated. “It certainly went well,” said Trish Williams, current president of Covington’s chapter. “We had a great turnout.” Known for its service projects, the Exchange Club was first formed in Detroit, Mich. in 1911 by Charles A. Berkey. He, along with other organizers, wanted exchange ideas and information with like-minded individuals about how to better serve their communities. The second chapter was chartered in Toledo, Ohio in 1913. On Nov. 16, 1948, the Exchange Club formed in Covington. Charter members Charles G. Fisher and David T. White were able to attend the ceremony with friends and family members. Also taking part in the celebration were members of the Covington and South Tipton County Exchange Clubs and the staff of the Carl Perkins Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse. County Executive Jeff Huffman read the proclamation, acknowledging the contributions the civic club has made since its organization, volunteering time, energy and money to help make the community a better place to live. Covington Exchange Club President Trish Williams thanked busi-

Charles G. FIsher, center, is a charter member of the Covington Exchange Club 62 years ago. He attended Tuesday’s celebration with his son and daughter-in-law, Chuck and Alice Fisher, and friends Thomas and Susan Cheairs.

By JUSTIN HANSON WMC-TV, Memphis Police in Atoka may have cracked a case of ID theft in as many as eight states, including Tennessee. Officers are continuing to unravel details about this suspect whose targets are deceased. Police said Heather Grady is one of the biggest conartists they have ever seen. “She’ll take over existing accounts, increase the limit,

order merchandise, and have it sent,” said Atoka Police Investigator Chris Ellwood. Police still have thousands of documents to go through, tying Grady to dozens of identity theft cases involving residents, some who are dead. “Who thinks about talking to JC Penney and Sears that a loved one has passed away and you need to close your account?” Ellwood asked. Grady faces seven counts

of ID theft and fraud just in Tipton County. It does not stop there. Atoka police have found that she is also tied to similar cases in eight other states. “My credit is ruined for the rest of my life,” said ID theft victim James Clegg. “I’m 60 years old and I will never have credit again.” Clegg’s wife recently started a blog about their ID theft experience. He said Heather Grady charged over $1 million on credit in his name.

“TV’s, books, furniture, cameras, all sorts of merchandise,” Ellwood added. Police are still working to try and figure out how Grady is stealing these identities. They have also discovered she is using several aliases and could be tied to similar fraud cases with state governments. Grady is set to face a judge in Tipton County on April 1. Atoka Police are working with other agencies to help solve this case.

Continued from A1 “We’re easing the contentions of have to go to Memphis or elsewhere to satisfy doctor-mandated therapy,” said Hurst. “Now that we have facilities here at home, patients in Tipton County can take services offered here on Highway 51 in Covington.” In the past, many elderly patients have left the Tipton County hospital to seek rehabilitation at facilities in Memphis or Jackson. Now, there is no need to travel such distances. The Get Well, Go Home Program treats patients in rehabilitative therapy by surrounding them with the comforts of home and encouraging social and family activities. “This is not a stereotypical nursing home program,” said Hurst. “The number one priority is to solidify family contacts because the best place to get well

is at home. So not only are we making it easier for families to see their loved ones and ease the travel burden but we are making every effort to give the new renovated facilities the feeling of home.” The new renovations include hardwood floors, a juice and coffee bar, wooden chandeliers, flat screen televisions for every patient, a new gym and workout room, an outdoor picnic area and a lounge with new sofas and tables for visitors to see their friends and loved ones. Made to house 43 patients, the new wing of the nursing home is designed with all the comforts of home to encourage patients to get better by easing them into their rehabilitative routines. There is even a graduation every week for patients who have become well enough to go home.

The change of scenery does not stop at the new rehabilitative efforts, but paint, carpet and new furniture has been added to other parts of the nursing home, giving the comforts of home to everyone in the vicinity. The remodeling for the program began in February and costs $700,000 which is funded by the state and Medicare. The patients are already being admitted as needed and dozens have already graduated from the programs. They are admitted by local doctors and the Tipton County Hospital that is just across the street so patients do not have to travel far, which is often hard on people with this need of care. “When our patients are ready to go home, they graduate with a certificate,” said Hurst. “The staff here won’t be satisfied until residents can and do go back home.”

TRA to perform Cinderella By LORI REGIS Special to The Leader The timeless enchantment of a magical fairy tale is reborn with the Rodgers & Hammerstein hallmarks of originality, charm and elegance. Originally presented on television in 1957 starring Julie Andrews, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella was the most widely viewed program in the history of the medium. Its recreation in 1965 starring Lesley Ann Warren was no less successful in transporting a new generation to the miraculous kingdom of dreams-come-true, and so was a second remake in 1997, which starred Brandy as Cinderella and Whitney Houston as her Fairy Godmother. As adapted for the stage, with great warmth

and more than a touch of hilarity, the hearts of children and adults alike still soar when the slipper fits. This Enchanted Edition is based on the 1997 teleplay. Come out this weekend and be amazed by the talent of

Church hosts Black History Month program By ALMEDA CANNON LUSTER Special to The Leader

n Feb. 19, Hatchie Church of Christ hosted its first Black History Program. It was reportedly a great success. Three dynamic speakers, Hattye Yarbrough, Lela Williams and George “Joe” Green, shared historical and personal information with a large audience of people ranging from seasoned ages down

to infant ages. The theme was “Linking the Future to the Past.” Following the three outstanding speakers, Hatchie’s youth showcased their untouchable talents through reciting poetry written by black authors, and expounded on the biographies of several black historical leaders, including our current President Barack Obama. Those at Hatchie Church of Christ are looking forward to an even

larger crowd and a wealth of historical knowledge next year. Hatchie Church of Christ is located at 1372 Highway 51 North in Covington. Worship take place at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. each Sunday.

Dear editor, Never has our community's support and assistance been as apparent as it was on Thursday at our mock car crash demonstration. To see so many Tipton County officials and businesses come together going above and beyond the call of duty was simply awesome! To Jim's Towing, Mr. Bridges

and the Brighton and Covington Fire Departments and EMT personnel, Andrew Harrington and the Brighton Police Department, Rural Metro Ambulance, Tennessee Highway Patrol, Dr. Hughey, and Miles Dunagan and the Hospital Wing a huge thanks!! Also a personal thanks to our "victims", Danny Potter, Mary Michael Roe, Ellery Cole, Jamie King, and Alaina Bierdz; our "hysterical mother" BHS teacher Mrs. Martina Cole for her wonderful performance; BHS Administration for their support

and allowance of this event; and Mrs. Jodi Lloyd and Ms. Lori Witherington for their immense help in putting on this event. For donating your time, energy, and resources we are very grateful. The message did not go unnoticed, for the next day many students not only complimented the event, but also shared with me that they did not text and drive on the way home that afternoon!

Common sense, conservative education reforms moving through general assembly By REP. BARRET RICH Special to The Leader Since taking office in January, the Governor has made clear his vision for wholesale reform of Tennessee’s education system. He has said student achievement should be the cornerstone of any educational initiative. Legislators agree and have stated on numerous occasions that promoting teacher excellence is one way to ensure that vision becomes a reality for Tennessee students. The Speaker and Lieutenant Governor have confirmed their respective Chambers will aide the Governor’s quest to raise standards in our classrooms. This week, major legislation was advanced to that end in the House. On Thursday, in a landslide vote of 64-32, the teacher tenure reform legislation easily won approval in the House. The bill’s GOP sponsor said, “We said last fall that we would do what it takes to make Tennessee the number one destination for high-quality jobs in the South. That included top-to-bottom reforms in business regulation and education. This is yet another promise kept to Tennesseans that we are committed to bringing accountability to the classroom to ensure every student is led by a great teacher.” The House Republican Majority Leader added, “The Governor laid out a clear vision for raising standards and bringing more accountability to our educational system. We’ve done just that with passage of this legislation. With highperforming teachers, our students will receive the training and skills they need to be successful in the workforce. That means more and better jobs for Tennesseans.” On Wednesday, the charter school initiative started its legislative trek. The House Education Subcommittee

It passed 12-6 on a straight party-line vote. “This is nothing more that a P.R. stunt,” Naifeh said. “It is not a compromise; it is a blatant attempt to strip teachers of their right to negotiate effectively.’” “We were hoping to see a Jobs package from the majority and the administration, but again it wasn’t included in the legislative package introduced on Thursday,” Naifeh said. “I will be working with my colleagues to develop a package to bring more jobs to Tennessee in the coming weeks and that will include preserving quality jobs and rights for our teachers and all working families across the state.”

held debate on the legislation and is expected to vote on the measure next week. The legislation will do away with the current restriction on the number of charter schools allowed in Tennessee and provide greater access to a quality education to Tennessee students. These measures, along with other initiatives moving through the House, will ultimately lead to a more diverse and skilled workforce in Tennessee, bringing in more businesses and jobs to the Volunteer State. U.S. Senator Corker Visits the General Assembly, Offers Strong Conservative Message On Tuesday, U.S. Senator Bob Corker (R-TN) paid a visit to the General Assembly where he spoke with Republican Members and gave an encouraging message about the work being done in Nashville. The Senator spoke about international affairs and education matters but spent the majority of time talking about the fiscal crisis facing our nation. He remarked, “…I was here to encourage them to help us motivate lawmakers throughout our state at the federal level and to talk with their citizens that they represent, their constituents, about how important it is to take action.” He pointed out he was proud of the efforts to rein in spending at the State level and hopes to lead the federal government to follow suit. The Senator was welcomed by the Speaker and introduced by the Lieutenant Governor and afterwards took questions from the Members about issues facing Tennessee. Work of the Governor and General Assembly Lead to Job Growth in West Tennessee The

State

received

encouraging news during the week as a federal grant had been approved for construction to begin on a new deepwater port in Northwest Tennessee on the Mississippi River. However, the grant would have been removed had it not been for the hard work of the Governor and some Members of the House. For several weeks now, the Governor and key Republican legislators from West Tennessee have highlighted the fact Tennessee needed to find resources to continue moving forward with construction plans for the forthcoming Port at Cates Landing. When it is finished, the port will lead to approximately 1,700 jobs and bring in a muchneeded economic boost of $354 million to the local economy. The facility will be the deepest port on the Mississippi River between Baton Rouge, LA and Saint Louis, MO. The positive commerce and shipping effects of the project will be felt throughout Tennessee. Empowering Educators with Equal Access Bill Moving Through the House

tion touted as a “new way forward” on education reform this week by passing HB 130 out of the House Education Committee. The proteacher legislation gives a voice to all teachers who have not had a voice in education negotiations over matters in the classroom. The bill, like many other common sense measures working their way through the Legislature, promotes student achievement and allows teachers to be rewarded for excellence in the classroom through items like merit pay. The bill calls for a collaborative effort at the education negotiating table between all interested stakeholders and allows for “equal access” to all professional teaching associations. The Governor recently stated his support for the measure because it, “(G)ives superintendents greater flexibility in making personnel decisions and supports my central focus of doing what's best for children in Tennessee classrooms.” The bill now moves on to the Budget Committee for consideration.

The House moved conservative legislaHi my name is Dino Martino AKA “Dino”. After more than 3 days of running around the neighborhood and trying to play with every dog I saw, someone finally noticed me. They figured I was lost but no one ever claimed me. I am a loving Boston Terrier mix who is about 1 year old as of February 2011. I enjoy being around people of all ages, playing with other dogs, and trying to play with cats. I am already house trained and kennel trained. I have been neutered and I am up-to-date on my shots. Would you please Dino consider taking me home with you today? Dino was heartworm positive when we rescued him and he will be undergoing treatment soon.If you believe you can give this darling a permanent loving home, please complete an application on the internet at:http://www. dogs2ndchance.org/adoption-application.

Living on the edge Life is filled with many risks. Risk taking has been glamorized and sensationalized. Society has taught us to look up to or even idolize those who take risks. In fact the more risk someone is willing to take, the more “fame” or recognition he is given. Evil Knievel and Harry Houdini were daredevils who earned their livelihood by living on the edge. Some risks are normal and necessary. The commute to work is a normal risk where an accident is always possible from something as simple as a tire blowout or other mechanical failure to another driver’s actions or road conditions. However some risks are unnecessary and are voluntary and can and should be avoided. Travelling to Japan and visiting the damaged nuclear reactors where radiation leaks are thousands of times the safe level is such a case. Farming has been described as a gamble, but farming has necessary risks such as weather, weeds, and market conditions that are required if we are to have food and fiber. Gambling is a voluntary risk that is unnecessary. Skydiving, mountain climbing, paragliding, parasailing, parachuting, bull riding, tight rope walking and trapeze flying (with or without a net) and other extreme sports are just some activities of people who want to live on the edge and experience an adrenalin rush. When I visited Niagara Falls, there were signs and even physical barriers warning spectators to not go closer to the edge of the falls. The rocks were slippery and not stable. The angle of the rocks sloped downward so that one could easily lose his balance

and fall over the falls. The chances of a fatal fall were multiplied by disregarding the barriers and signs. Despite the warnings and the physical barriers to keep the visitors safe, many ignored them for a “better” view of the falls because they wanted to live on the edge, in this case, literally the edge of the falls. Living on the edge appeals to one’s pride. The Bible warns, “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall”. (Pr 16:18) Society regards such a one as macho or cool when really one who lives on the edge is foolhardy, reckless and irresponsible. The devil tempted Christ on one occasion to live on the edge. After fasting for forty days, he placed Him on the pinnacle of the temple. Matthew 4: 6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Such a feat applied to the human weakness of pride and vainglory. Jesus could have reasoned that such a stunt would prove that He was the Son of God and therefore be justified but this was not God’s way for such to be shown. Jesus saw the devil’s ploy for what it was, tempting or testing God. When we live on the edge, what we are actually doing is testing God. Many of us live our lives on the edge, spiritually speaking. We try to live as close to sin as possible and still be pleasing to God. Instead of asking how can I live even closer to God, we want to

hang onto as much of the world as we can. We, like the proverbial cow, think the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. We do not ask how spiritual can I be but rather how worldly can I be and still be pleasing to the Lord. Here is the Lord’s answer. Luke 9: 62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. Paul told the Thessalonians, “Abstain from all appearance of evil.” (I Thes. 5:22) Balaam is a good example of one who lived on the edge. Balak, the king of Moab, employed Balaam to curse the Israelites. Balaam maintained that he could not do anything unless the Lord approved it, yet he wanted to do what Balak requested because of the money, gifts and other recognition (an appeal to pride) that Balak offered him. Balaam went with Balak even though the angel of the Lord with his sword blocked the way of his donkey causing the donkey to try to avoid the angel. Balaam, not seeing the danger, punished the donkey until the donkey spoke. Balaam even had seven altars built and sacrifices made to God to persuade God to change His mind and allow him (Balaam) to curse God’s people. Balaam was living on the edge pushing God to the limit so he (Balaam) could get what he wanted. The choice is ours, live on the edge and please ourselves or live dedicated and consecrated lives to God and please Him. We can have our 60 seconds (even if it’s a lifetime) of fame in this life or an eternity in heaven with God. What will it be?

This Thursday, March 31, I am in the process of having my left eye cataract surgery done. The first has not been bad, just annoying having to continue putting in eye drops four times a day. I'll certainly be glad when it's all behind me. I do have something to look forward to pretty soon. Assuming all goes well with this procedure, my daughters Terri Barber and Sherri Kidd have invited me to go to Hot Springs with them to celebrate their 40th birthday. I can hardly wait. We will be staying at the old Arlington hotel where you get those wonderful massages. Looking ahead takes a little of the dread away. Well, Charlie and I took Addie to ball practice last week and we got to see her hit the ball straight over the pitcher's head. The day was pretty cold but those little girls didn't even act like it. They have fun just being together. Her first game is next week. I sure hope I can make it. Speaking of the weather, I dragged out my leather coat again. I can see why so many people are getting sick. It's been a long and strange winter. I know my calendar said it was the first day of spring, but they missed it again. I guess we can count on Easter for sure, especially since it's on the last Sunday of April, on the 24th. I have a special prayer request at this time. My nephew John Wallace has arrived in Iraq this week and I would appreciate your prayers for his safety and safe return. Thank you very much.

Jimmy and Loretta Brashier had their granddaughter with them at Randolph Assembly recently. Jim Gallagher and his children, Adam and Aubree attend church at Randolph Assembly. Gary Neafus spent time with his sisters, Peggy Hathcock and Melba Dodson on March

afternoon was a complete success. Thanks to all who cooked and supported this donation effort. The food was marvelous. Sorry if you missed it. However donations are always acceptable.

Finding what makes us happy is our quest. But we have to start from within.

Their mom and dad, Laura and Russ converted the basement into living quarters over the last few months. So the girls have now moved downstairs with each having their own new bed rooms, bath and a beautiful den area with a fireplace and a small kitchen. It's almost like having two homes.

Jamestown DarSay Burton

Greetings, It was a huge success! “It Takes Ten” has come and gone, as of Saturday, March 26 at 6 p.m., at the lovely Covington Country Club. Out of 10 tables there were eight! My table was less filled, due to the weather (it rained). However, I, being the trooper that I am, managed to pull it off without a hitch! I represented “Poet's Corner” which included my table's logo with a lovely poem composed by me called “The House Inside of Me.” I love this particular work of mine. Out of all of my many poems, it's my favorite! “It Takes Ten” was sponsored by Jamestown Community Health Organization. President Minister Pearl Andrews opened with a welcome, prayer and scripture. Historian La Rue Albritton gave everyone a brief expo of JCHO's history. Asst. Treasurer Jessie Cooke introduced JCHO's officers: treasurer Mary Burton, Gwen Cooke, public relations, Pamm Cobbs Springfield, program coordinator (both ladies did an outstanding job on this event), vice president Katarene Harber was absent due to recovery from a recent mishap (she's getting stronger). Secretary Willie Mae Burton, assistant secretary Timika Sherrill and your truly as the reporter. Out-of-the-door prizes given there were 36 lovely gifts. For Table I, captain

Pam Springfield presented “Women of Color” performing lovely skits about being a woman of Christ! On Table II, captain Willie Mae Burton's Duration Club member, Jeanette Tipton Morrell performed beautifully “Victory Is Mine.” On Table III, captain Timika Sherrill's “The Sensational Sherrills” did a lovely rendition of “It's the God In Me!” On Table IV was captain DarSay Burton's “The Poet's Corner.” On Table V, “Men In the House” performed with captain Jessie Cooke. John Burton and Patrick Clewis did an outstanding job duet called “Falling in Love With Jesus.” At Table VI, captain Gwen Cooke's “Women in the House” performed a very highspirited rendition of “You Really Got a Hold on Me” by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. Table VII featured “The Jolly Corteria Ladies” and captain La Rue Albritton with performers Gloria Sherrill who read “If God Sat with You” written by yours truly and Annette Burton and yours truly along with Gloria sang “The More We Get Together” and The Temptations' “My Girl” Table VIII featured captain Minister Pearl Andrews and the “Pant Suit Ladies” who did a lovely skit about “I am a Woman.” She also read a poem she composed called “Unexpected” which was dedicated to and written due to their youngest son, 10-year-old Michael Andrews. They have two older children, a daughter, Ashley, in Nashville, and a son, Xavier who's an upperclassman at University of

Tennessee at Knoxville. A plaque for dedicated community services was presented to the widow of Caesar A. Burton (Mary Stewart Burton is his wife). This special recognition was presented to Mrs. Burton by Gwen Cooke. Janet Mosley closed with announcements and thanks along with Minister Pearl Andrews. JCHO wishes to thank the staff of the beautiful Covington Country Club for our second annual fundraiser, which as I said was a great success. We will convene on Oct. 22 at 6 p.m. once more at the Covington Country Club for our second annual “A Night of Elegance.” Tickets are $25 per person. Contact any JCHO officer to get in on all of the fun. On Tuesday, president Mary Burton and teacher Willie Mae Burton held their weekly missionary meeting. Regulars turned out for another great lesson. Our sick list consists of Bessie Cobbs, Katarene Harber, Doris King, Jennie Stewart, Cortez Lee, Carlotta Jones, Jessie Lawson, Vernard “Big Boy” Burton, Connie and Christine Brown, Ruth Alston, Ruth Griffin, Charle and David Sneed. On our prayer list are Joseph Heaston Sr., Posey Reed, Cornell Sherrill, Minister Pink Sherrill Jr., Jeffrey Mosley Sr., Vivian Dickerson, Patra Ballard, Beulah Wakefield, Eddie B. and Flossie Woods, Ada Fletcher, Nadine Kellum, Eula Culbreath and family, Willie Mae Burton and family, Percy and Allie White,

Rhonda Heaston-McLin and family, Robert and Dorcus Smith, Rev. Jerry Alston and family, John Burton, Theary Alston and Rudolph Boykins and family. The Burton-Bass-Alston family reunion is Sept. 2-5. Contact DarSay Burton and Barbara Miller by June 1 to get in on all of the fun. The Boykins family reunion (family of the late Charlie and Mamie Boykins of the Covington area) will take place soon. Rudolph and Dollie (Hollands) Burton-Boykins are the family contacts for this great event this July 4th weekend. Call (901) 476-9690. Happy birthday this week to first lady Wilada Cole and Gloria Sherrill on March 27. They were treated to a special dinner on Sunday after church at Bright Hill by Pastor S. P. Cole and several members. Happy anniversary on March 29 to Mr. and Mrs. John Jones Sr. of Jamestown. They have two very handsome sons, Tyler, 15, and John Jr., “Lil J,” 12! Also, happy birthday to Carol Gaskins of Kentucky who turns 90 years young today, March 31! He is the

THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 2011 father of my best girlfriend and sister, Irene Gaskins Harvey, of Jamestown. Irene and daughter JaWatha, who now lives in Detroit with her family, along with the rest of the Gaskins family. They surprised Carl on March 26 in Kentucky with a very lovely birthday celebration. He was very surprised and very, very well pleased by it all. She got back into home Sunday evening, tired but elated!

This is all for now. Remember, “Whenever you go out looking for 'something,' most of the time, it is 'nothing' that you will find.” Until next time...

the same way in their yards - buying azaleas and cleaning out flower beds. But it will be warm soon and we'll be complaining about that! My dad, Kenneth Weir, came over Friday night and had white beans and cornbread with us. I got up Saturday morning and went to town in the rain for new hookup-stuff for my clothes dryer. Found where my mice had been coming in. The vent thing had come off the outside of the house and they were climbing up the brick wall, into the dryer hose. There they chewed a hole in the hose and entered the house! Wondered why I always saw the most evidence of them in the utility room! Since then I've talked to two people who had mice chew into their hose and get in the house. If you suddenly have mice, check the dryer hose!! That afternoon Elizabeth, Lyla and I went to Memphis for a new carseat for Lyla, who will turn one next month. We did a lot of shop-

ping and walking and it was a great day. Lyla loves it and didnt' fuss once! Unfortunately we had to go back yesterday (Monday) because she had a cold and fever. Her doctor just put her on a fever-reducer and over-the-counter antihistamine. He said to starts her on antibiotics this young or they won't do her any good when she gets older. If she spikes a high fever and her ears get infected, he may give her one. We're just letting her wear it out now but it's so sad to see her coughing and eyes watering. Sunday Judy Dunaway had our much-awaited cruise meeting, on Norweigian this year instead of Carnival. Then James and I drove to Munford and had lunch with Alan and Debbie Otts and John, Cammy and Andrew Evans. It was nice after we'd just heard of three deaths in church, Huggins, the dad of Michelle Nowak and Chris Huggins, Danny Atkins and Pam Hanks. And that evening, Lear Kimbrough, the sister-inlaw of Linda Kimbrough, and Shelley's aunt, died. All these families are in my prayers in their losses.

I have been meaning to express my deepest sympathy to Jimmy and Jenni Robbins and their family in their grief. The piece, "The Strange Painted Bird" written by Elizabeth Ralph, was just beautiful. What a tribute. Larry Whaley II remains in the hospital. Carol "Buddy" McMahan isn't feeling well. Little Ryleigh Sallee is taking some bottle now and I hope she will be home with her family soon. Jenni Langston covets your prayers, as well as Kenneth Mason. Keep in your remembrance all our servicemen and women. And Little Lucy. Our Ladies First Friday Dinner and Movie Night will be on April 1st. Happy Birthday this week goes to Mary Jean Stockton and Renea Brown on March 27th, to Chase Kidd and Marc Rimmer on the 28th, to Jaden Daniels on the 29th, to Sue Bringle and Casey Fletcher on the 30th and to Linda Kimbrough on the 31st! Happy Anniversary to Larry and Carolyn Whaley on March 27th! I want to wish Dr. Roger

away. Hope they will all live and do well. Paula (Winkie) Hathcock is finally home from the hospital. We have been missing yoiu at church. Ms. Evelyn Ballard made a trip to the hospital last week..... but she did not have to stay. She is doing better today... but still not well. She had the flu. RUM Church has been having a Bible Study on Sunday nights. Bro. Ben has been doing a good joy.... attendance has been 12 - 14 people. It will continue till Easter. Our place down on Tunica

Lake has been under water (up to the 4th step of our house). There are 18 steps up to our house. I have never seen so much water that is out of the banks of the MS. River. We had purchased a piece of plexiglass about a month ago and have been hauling it around in the back seat of our truck. We are enclosing the deck at the top of the 18 steps. The water has been so high we could not even see the road to our place. What a mess!!!! But when the water goes down it is so beautiful on the banks of the MS. River. What a view

of the lake we have! Our daughter, Becky Starr Glisson has just finished her student teaching at Brighton Elementary School. She now has two Master's Degree. She is looking for a teaching job in our neighborhood. Prayers for: Patra Ballard, Lois Conger, Edna Downing, John Downing, Charlene Lott, Paula Hathcock, Zadie Pugh, Mildred Wiseman, Evelyn Griffin, Dale Ferguson & Evelyn Ballard.

Elaine Watkins

We actually had sunshine yesterday, then this morning, back into clouds. We got seven-tenths inch of rain over the gloomy weekend and more today and tomorrow. It's Spring all right and April doesn't even start till Friday! (April showers . . . ) Todd Townsend painted our utility room gold last week, made a firdown over the cabinets, where I had some baskets drawing dust and I got it all decorated. The utility room isn't usually a pretty room but Liz is changing her kitchen from chicken decor to fleur-delis so I got some pictures from her for the utility and it looks nice. New rooster lamp with a red shade and it's done! I'm through for a while - we'll be in the field soon and decorating will be inappropriate, to say the least! This week's Farm Report: Winter wheat is looking very good and green. The warm weather a few weeks

Randolph Tula Starr

SPRING HAS SPRUNG!!! The peach, apple, and pear trees have been in full bloom. They all belong to our neighbor except two apple trees, that are on our lot. But, we have enjoyed looking at them all. We have cut our grass (weeds} one time and the yard look good right now. One day last week we dug up day lillies in our yard and planted about 25 in the back yard, where it has been washing

Lady Chargers post two big wins By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader Coach Martha Lawlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lady Chargers racked up a big District 13 AA win over Ripley on March 22 and followed it up with a resume/confidence building win over AAA in-county rival in extra innings on March 25. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how they did it. Covington posted 7 runs in the 2nd inning, 2 in the 3rd and 1 in the 5th to down the Lady Tigers 10-0 at Ripley in a mercy rule shortened game. Gabby Glenn got the win striking out 9 while walking 1 and allowing only 2

CHS soccer still hot By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader The Chargers took to the pitch this week and improved their season record to 3-1-1 dropping a heartbreaker to McKenzie on Monday before blowing out Fayette Academy on Tuesday. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a brief re-cap. The Chargers took a 1-0 lead into the 2nd half against McKenzie on March 28 only to have the homestanding Rebels tie the score mid-way in the period. Late in the game, CHS was called for a handball, which gave the Rebels a penalty kick. The Covington goalie had his hands on the kick but could not contain it and on the ricochet went into the net for what proved to be the winning goal in the heartbreaking 2-1 CHS loss. Senior captain had Phillip Van Cleve had the lone goal for Covington. Tuesday home pitch match against Fayette Academy was another story entirely. The Chargers trailed 1-0 at the break and, in what proved to be a brilliant coaching move, head man Robert Luttrell, dispatched his sophomore sweeper Bobby Van Cleve from his normal defensive role to forward for the 2nd half whereupon he turned the hat trick plus one to lead CHS to a 4-1 victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153; He was a one man show!â&#x20AC;? said Coach Luttrell. â&#x20AC;&#x153; He will probably remain at forward for a little while.â&#x20AC;?

Ripleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pitcher helped the Lady Charger cause with 8 walks. In Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rivalry showdown in Brighton, Covington had to stage a comeback. Trailing 2-0 after 5 innings, the Lady Chargers scored a pair of runs in the top of the 6th to knot the score and plated 2 more in the 8th to get the win. Autumn Glenn who went the distance for the win held the Lady Cardinals to 2 2nd inning runs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Autumn

Forrest Davis won singles matches. Free/Davis also won a doubles match. The ladies won at Ripley on March 24 7-0. Watson, Blalack, Guerrant, Sarah Ann Franklin, and Griffin all won in singles.

First Utility District of Tipton County Water Quality Report for 2009

Munford Water System Water Quality Report 2010

What is the source of my water? Your water, which is ground water, comes from the confined tertiary sand aquifer. Our goal is to protect our water from contaminants and we are working with the State to determine the vulnerability of our water source to potential contamination. The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) has prepared a Source Water Assessment Program (SWAP) Report for the untreated water sources serving water to this water system. The SWAP Report assesses the susceptibility of untreated water sources to potential contamination. To ensure safe drinking water, all public water systems treat and routinely test their water. Water sources have been rated as reasonably susceptible, moderately susceptible or slightly susceptible based on geologic factors and human activities in the vicinity of the water source. The Munford Water System sources rated as reasonably susceptible to potential contamination. An explanation of Tennessee’s Source Water Assessment Program, the Source Water Assessment summaries, susceptibility scorings and the overall TDEC report to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) can be viewed online at www.state.tn.us/environment/dws/dwassess.shtml or you may contact the Water System to obtain copies of specific assessments. A wellhead protection plan is available for your review by contacting Lynn Hughey at the Munford Water System between 7:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. weekdays. Why are there contaminants in my water? Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Enviromental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800426-4791) Este informe contiene información muy importante. Tradúscalo o hable con alguien que lo entienda bien. For more information about your drinking water, please call Lynn Hughey at 901-837-5974. How can I get involved? Our Water Board meets on the fourth Monday of each month at 7:00 pm at the Munford Municipal Building located at 69 College St. Please feel free to participate in these meetings. Is our water system meeting other rules that govern our operations? The State and EPA require us to test and report on our water on a regular basis to ensure its safety. We have met all of these requirements. Results of unregulated contaminant analysis are available upon request. We want you to know that we pay attention to all the rules. Other Information

The sources of drinking water (both tap and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occuring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animal or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water: -Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. - Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial, or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, farming. - Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses. - Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems. - Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA and the Tennessee Department of Enviroment and Conversation prescribe regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public wate systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. Do I need to take special precautions? Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons, such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have under-gone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about not only their drinking water, but food preparation, personal hygiene, and precautions in handling infants and pets from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). Lead in Drinking Water If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. Munford Water System is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components,. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www. epa.gov/safewater/lead Water System Security Following the events of September 2001, we realize that our customers are concerned about the security of their drinking water. We urge the public to report any suspicious activities at any utility facilities, including treatment plants, tanks, fire hydrants, etc. to 901-837-0171.

Water Quality Data What does this chart mean? • MCLG: Maximum Contaminant Level Goal, or the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. • MCL: Maximum Contaminant Levels, or the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. To understand the possible health effects described for many regulated constituents, a person would have to drink 2 liters of water every day at the MCL level for a lifetime to have a one-in-a-million chance of having the described health effect. • MRDL: Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level or MRDL - The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for the control of microbial contaminants. • MRDLG: Maximum residual disinfectant level goal. The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants. • AL - Action Level, or the concentration of a contaminant which, when exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow. • Below Detection Limit (BDL) - laboratory analysis indicates that the contaminant falls below the state's required detection level.. • Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/l) - explained as a relation to time and money as one part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in $10,000. • Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter - explained as a relation to time and money as one part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000.

Water Quality Data

Likely Source of Contamination

Iron: Iron occurs naturally in our raw water and occasionally accumulates in the distribution system. Iron shows up as “red” or “rusty” water at your tap. Although you do not want to drink water that is not clear, iron is not considered to be a hazard to your health. We test for iron daily and it is usually around 0.04 ppm. The aesthetic limit for iron is 0.3 ppm.

MHS 7 - BHS 4 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re young right now, but we battled most of the game,â&#x20AC;? said Brighton coach Brian Oswalt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we came out with a little more fight and a little more confidence than we did last night â&#x20AC;Ś We came out hitting the ball tonight, but we just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep it up the rest of the game.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew it was going to be a dog fight,â&#x20AC;? Munford coach Steve Ledford said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we play Brighton, you can throw out records, talent and all that stuff. I told the guys I knew it was going to take all night.â&#x20AC;?
