Brighton work to be completed in August Officials see light at the end of the tunnel By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com Things are progressing in Brighton’s Main Street renovation after a two-week delay in March due to an unforeseen obligation to abide by more EPA regulations and a
longer delay, overall, because of weather conditions. In October 2010, the Town of Brighton began a series of revitalization efforts on Main Street. Two months, after getting back on track after winter weather held up construction, contractors identified some oil tanks that required removal. This discovery caused yet another delay due to the
Environmental Protection Agency’s overseeing their removal. The renovations were scheduled to be concluded by June 14. As a result of multiple delays including a redesign of the drainage system, Brighton Mayor Jeff Scott looks for construction to wrap up in late July or August. When asked about the new drainage system and how
effective it’s been, Scott said, “It seems to have been working very well especially during all the rain we’ve been having at the end of April and beginning of May. TDOT allowed us to clear out certain areas in the drainage creek and it’s been working well. We’ve been watching it closely.” The Tennessee Department of Transportation has completely closed the area to through traf-
fic. Reportedly, motorists has been using Tipton Street as a detour however unpractical due to its narrow width. To meet these needs, town officials have slated gravel to be poured in an effort to widen it and accommodate mid-sized vehicles. “Citizens need to realize that this is a construction site,” said Scott. “However, when it’s all SEE WORK, A2

THE GREAT FLOOD OF 2011
Remembering the Great Floods Dorothy Watson shares memories of 20th century flooding By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com For Dorothy Watson, the Great Flood of 2011 was just another flood. But then, nothing can compare to the floods the 85-year-old saw growing up on the Ashport Bluff in Lauderdale County. “It was water everywhere you could see, there was water everywhere,” she said. “Lord, yes, it was high before.” Just a year old during the flood of 1927, Watson was 11 when the Mississippi reached it’s highest crest in history in 1937. She remembers cattle being turned loose on the bluff, allowed to scavenge for food left over after the harvest and having to be rounded up when flooding threatSEE FLOOD, A2

Chicasaw Bluff becomes home to Civil War reenactment
White tents of infantry and artillery units dotted the landscape below the bluff as the boom of cannons and blasts of muskets filled the air. It isn’t 1861 – it’s 2011. On May 14 and 15, uniformed Confederate re-enactors performed military drills all day for approximately 300 visitors along the second Chickasaw Bluff. The 90-foot dirt fortification was re-created to give visitors a glimpse of how one of the six Confederate river batteries would have looked at Randolph in 1861. The re-enactors participating in the encampment were members of the 51st Tennessee Infantry of Memphis, the Bankheads Battery of Memphis, and two companies of the Tennessee Artillery Corps of Tipton County. The event was an official Tennessee Civil War Sesquicentennial

Hicks said runs usually have one starting point, but this event will allow riders to begin at Bumpus Harley Davidson in Memphis or Jackson, Outerlimits Powersports in Dyersburg or Cobb-Parr Park.

Bibb to succeed Fite as superintendent
TODAY’S WEATHER Partly sunny. High, 80. Low, 62.
By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com This is shaping up to be quite the year for Buddy Bibb. After a vote by school board members last week, it’s official: he will become the next superintendent of Tipton County Public Schools. “This is an excellent system and I’m going to do my best to keep it headed in the direction it’s been going
in the last few years,” Bibb said. Currently the director of instruction, Dr. William E. “Buddy” Bibb has worked at the board since 1997. He was the only applicant for the position that will be left vacant when Dr. Tim Fite retires on June 30. Long before he was a teacher and administrator, Bibb worked for the school system hauling books from school to school the summer before integration.
Working in education is the Bibb family business. His father was a supervisor at the board, his sister Terri Bibb Collins currently works with the county’s education foundation, his wife is an instructor at Tennessee Technology CenterCovington and his daughter, Rachel Blakeman, teaches at Atoka Elementary. Bibb, a lifetime resident of Munford, graduated from Munford High School in 1975. He received his
bachelors degree from the University of TennesseeMartin in 1979, then returned to Munford where he began his career at Munford-Ellis, teaching 7th and 8th grade math and coaching girls’ basketball. “That was the year they started playing 5-on-5,” he said. “Before that, they played 3-on-3, half-court. I was glad they went to 5-on5 because that was the way I was used to it.” In 1982, Bibb transferred

Charger Voices change it up By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com Last week, the Crestview Middle School Charger Voices showed what they were made of during their spring concert entitled, “Changin’ It Up: Music for a Changing Generation.” The Voices put on two performances on May 10, one for the school at 1 p.m. and again for parents and others at 7 p.m. Though the vocal music department performs a spring concert every year, director Megan Allen will be the first to say that this was no average spring concert. “The kids loved singing pop songs that they knew that conveyed positive messages about changing the world,” said Allen. “We put a 12-member adult choir together at the last minute to join the students. We had a combo band and even lighting production by Area One. The kids loved it. It was good encouragement for them to see what they can do if they continue in music. It showed them that there are opportunities for choir to be more than just an activity.” The students were deeply involved in the production and performance of the concert. More than 30 students performed as soloists, rappers and dancers. From choreography to singing solos to speaking, the students seem to have covered it all in
Dorothy Watson is pictured with WMC-TV’s Justin Hanson last Friday. Hanson interviewed Mrs. Watson, discussing her memories of past floods. The story was picked up by an NBC affiliate in Nashville.

reflecting the concert’s theme to be who you are and to show how important it is to change the world. Allen writes the material for the spring concert every year. Since the second of her 8-year-long stint as choral director at CMS, she realized that the production didn’t have to be just the “run-ofthe-mill choir concert.” During her second year, Allen wrote a Disneythemed show and its success prompted her to push the bar a little more every year since. “The students have become so well-rounded,” she said. “When I write the shows, I’m into quality and I want it to be a crowd-pleaser. The
students really get into it. I try to take the students out of their comfort zones and have them do things they’ve never done. It builds self-confidence.” It was not hard to see how much the students were engaged and how much they were engaging the audience in the evening show. Though mainly pop songs were performed, the fact that 26 students were named to the All Northwest Honor Choir, the highest in the county, is a testament to how trained they are in choral music as well. Groups of students even wrote lyrics and performed their songs. The top two groups that
the student body voted for were able to perform their song for the evening performance: “Make It Change Click” and “CTW.” The combo band composed of keyboardist Cletis Foster, Covington High School, saxophonist/guitarist Creston Smith, Munford Elementary School, drummer Elmer Macklin and bassist Marcus Dawson have reportedly already asked if Allen will need them again next spring because they’re eager to come back. In the same mindset, Allen said, “I’ve already started planning for next year.”
east side of Main Street shows poured concrete for sidewalks and curbs after Southwest Electric rerouted wires underground. However, on the west side, contractors are waiting for AT&T and Comcast to reroute their
wires and lines before commencing concrete work. The next step is to start pouring concrete for the sidewalks and curbs past Kenwood. “The street will look a lot narrower no doubt,” said Scott. “But the final
product and amenities that come along with it are going to make it a much better area. TDOT has been great to work with during this.”

FLOOD
Continued from A1 ened the community that February. The bluff, which has since eroded, became a tent city when the flood hit. It had been home to hundreds, though. “I mean it was houses everywhere,” said Watson. The 1937 flood hit during the worst depression the United States has ever seen, a fact which Watson believes made the flood more devastating then than now. “It was already hard times … the horror that those people went through, working all their lives for what they had, and with the snap of a finger it was gone.” Watson also remembers flooding in 1973 and 1984. After the flooding in 1973, her husband John, who is now deceased, and daughter caught a 65-pound catfish, one of the biggest fish in the Mississippi River. She grew up hunting and fishing and the threat of high water never stopped her from
enjoying the outdoors. “I loved my outdoors. We stayed in the bottoms as much as we could. I was taught to respect the river.” Though disabled, Watson, the widow of former Southwest Tennessee Electric Cooperative lineman John Watson, is still very active. She is an avid gardener - flowers and vegetables, both - and loves watching birds. This year’s floodwaters crept up closer and closer to her Millstone Mountain home, into a pasture, but Mrs. Watson wasn’t fearful. “There’s one word for the Mississippi River and that’s respect,” she said. “Respect it because you don’t know what it’s gonna do.” At press time, the Mississippi River was at 42.81 feet, down approximately one foot in 24 hours’ time; flood stage is 34 feet. The Hatchie was measured at 13.71 feet, lower than its 20 feet flood stage.

Theater camp gets wild this summer Who doesn’t know the story of Mowgli, Bagheera, Baloo and Shere Kahn? For those who don’t, the Tipton Arts Council and Covington Integrated Arts Academy are coordinating their second annual Summer Theatrical Camp in their production of The Jungle Book at CIAA. Walt Disney Studios made the story of The Jungle Book into a timeless classic that the latter generations of the 20th century and on will never forget. This summer, children in Tipton County will have a chance to become those beloved characters in their own rendition of this tale. The camp will take place on MondayFriday, June 20-24, from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. each day at CIAA, located at 760 Bert Johnston Avenue in Covington. The camp will conclude with a single performance on Friday evening at 7 p.m. Lunch will be provided by the Tipton County Board of Education daily. “This is a wonderful opportunity for students to get involved in art, drama and music,� said Tipton Arts Council member Barbara McBride. This undertaking isn’t the typical production. Camp participants will take part in acting, singing, dancing, set and prop design and decoration, costume design and construction and other exciting opportunities presented. CIAA teachers will lead the produc-
tion and make sure the children are engaged and are learning about the different aspects of theater in general. Susan Cavin, music director, will coach participants on song and dance unique to The Jungle Book. Brandi Akins, art director, will direct students on constructing and decorating costumes as well as on proper set design involving painting back drops. Leah Billings, drama director, will oversee the acting and will work with the children on replicating what’s on the script. “Last year we had more than our limit at 37 students so this year we’re increasing our limit to 45,� said McBride. “This all started last year when the children asked urgently to be in a play. After presenting the idea to the Tipton Arts Council, CIAA agreed to be a part of it and it was the perfect place.� The cost of the camp is $125 per student and includes a camp T-shirt, lunch and supplied. It is open to any student from 2nd-8th grades in the 2011-2012 school year. Learners are encouraged to be committed to attending every day of camp. Scholarship students will receive free tuition to the camp. Those interested should contact Tipton Art Council member Barbara McBride at 901-476-9706 or at 901-237-4006 by June 3. Tryouts will take place on June 10 from 5-7 p.m. and on June 11 from 10 a.m.-noon.
WAR
Continued from A1 Commemoration of Tennessee’s first military action of the War Between the States when, on April 24, 1861, State forces occupied Randolph in the name of the Southern Confederacy. Between April and August of 1861, the installation – named Fort Wright – was constructed to allow the firing of cannons on Union ships and troop transports coming down the Mississippi. On top of the bluff, breastworks and batteries were also built to defend the river fortifications from a Union land attack from the north and east. Almost 5,000 Confederate soldiers came to Fort Wright for military instruction and practiced constructing artillery batteries. In addition to the reenactments, David Gwinn, Tipton County genealogist and local historian, gave tours of the Confederate gunpowder magazine adjoining the Fort Wright Historic Site Overlook on Randolph Road. A memorial service was also held on Sunday to honor the memory of 25 soldiers who died at the fort during the war. At the commemoration, Graydon Swisher II spoke on behalf of the Tennessee Parks and Greenways, one of the sponsors for the event. Russell Bailey, Tipton County histo-
rian, represented Jeff Huffman, Tipton County Executive, and spoke on the history of Fort Wright. During the next five years, Civil War Sesquicentennial events will take place throughout Tennessee and in Tipton County. On May 29, the 34th Annual Memorial Service honoring the Soldiers of the War Between the States will be held in the R.H. Munford Cemetery at 2 p.m. The cemetery, located on Hwy. 51 South and Garland Avenue, is the final resting place for 217 Confederate and 8 Union veterans. Their graves will be marked with flags and decorated with flowers to honor their valiant memories. In addition, there will be a salute to the U.S. and Confederate flags, roll call of the soldiers’ names, a military salute, and the playing of “Taps� by Stephen and Alex Schuetrumpf of Boy Scout Troop 260. After the service, birthday cake and refreshments will be served to attendees in honor of the birthday of Confederate General Cadmus M. Wilcox, who served in the Mexican War and Civil War. Historian Russell Bailey also contributed to this story.
BIBB
Continued from A1 to Brighton Elementary where he taught math, history, physical education and coached boys’ and girls’ basketball, boys’ and girls’ track and football. For two years he was also the assistant principal at Brighton Elementary. In 1991, he became the assistant principal at Munford Elementary. He became principal a year later and spent five more years at Munford Elementary before going to the board as the director of instruction. Along the way, Bibb has also continued his education, earning a new degree every decade. In 2009 he earned his doctorate from the University of Memphis. He has worked with Fite for years and said he feels ready for the position he’ll take over on July 1.
“Dr. Fite has done an outstanding job and I’m blessed to have worked with him for 30 years,� Bibb said. “He’s been a great mentor and he’s given me some assignments I believe prepared me for this.� Bibb said he doesn’t plan on any major changes once he becomes superintendent. “I want to have as smooth a transition as we can have,� he said. “There may be federal changes and changes from state legislation, but we’re going to do the best we can to manage those changes.� Bibb said his focus will remain on the 12,000 students in the system.
(901)476-8632 thorntonshomefurnishing.com
“I want to focus on student results,� he said. “I want students to be successful in what they want to do, I want them to have positive experiences with the system, whether it’s in the classroom or at activities.� Dr. Bibb and wife Sally have been married for 32 years and are the proud parents of Rachel and Eric. In addition to being named superintendent, Bibb and wife Sally have recently become grandparents to a granddaughter named Lucy and their son will get married next week. In terms of good years and bad ones, 2011 is shaping up pretty nicely for Dr. Bibb.
RUN
Continued from A1 a.m. The last bike will leave an hour later at 9 a.m., the same time registration for the car show begins. In addition to bikes and cars, the event will be host to several vendors and entertainers. At 10 a.m., Precept Upon Precept, a Christian rock band, will begin playing. The Embers, a popular garage band from the 1960s, will begin at 11 a.m. At noon, Covington Mayor David Gordon will welcome eventgoers and lead the group in prayer. Miss Tipton County - and recent high school graduate -
Stephanie Tynes will sing the national anthem and local law enforcement officers and firefighters will lead the group in the Pledge of Allegiance. At 1:15 p.m., group Blackberry Wednesday will rock the crowd before the bike games and awards. At 3 p.m., the Brian Moffitt Band will entertain with country hits. Throughout the day, the family-friendly event will include games for all ages - including a baseball toss, mini carousel and putting range - and plenty of food sold by the Covington Exchange Club.
Organizers hope to raise $25,000 so doctors attending to sexual assault victims at the Carl Perkins Center can be trained and the victims can stay in Tipton County for evaluation. “Not having something like that here has to be nothing but traumatic for the children,� Hicks said. “This is our home and these are our kids,� said co-chair Cyndi Roberts. “We need to take care of our own.� For more information on the event, and to find out how to win a 2011 Harley, please visit www. runon51bikefest.com.

Go, Lucy, go! I have been thrilled to see how the community in Covington, and the broader Tipton County and beyond, has come together for little Lucy Krull. She is such a precious child and surrounded by the love of her parents, siblings, grandparents and so many others. I’ve seen this community do it before – when there’s a JIM HARDIN need for prayer, time or funds, we manage to rally as one to meet needs and lift hearts. Lucy has brought together people who don’t know each other, and perhaps in other situations, don’t want to know each other. Children from various schools, churches and preschools know of Lucy and want to help. Parents are baking goods and holding fundraisers, children are racing bikes and participating in other sponsored events for Lucy, and prayer chains are circling God’s good earth. Oh, and let’s not forget the pretty pink bows all over the community. The anguish and anxiety felt by Erik and Kate are in some measure being shared by all of us. For moments in time, those of us who have thought about Lucy, taken a moment to pray for her family, bought a plate of brownies, or read Kate’s beautiful online message updates (blogs) have been able to forget our own selfish interest and take our focus from what is ugly in life, placing it on what really matters – that which is beautiful, a precious child. Let me take a moment to say to Paul and Nancy Rose, Kate’s parents, that I know you must be very proud. Before Lucy took ill, my daughter Sarah and my wife Debbie bragged about Kate’s online entries. They were uplifting and truly reflected a strong spiritual center and a healthy outlook on life. Her updates now on Lucy and what the family is going through are remarkable. The strength and character showed by Erik, Kate and the entire family lift us all up in the community. I remember the girl Kate Rose and am amazed at the honorable woman who is now Kate Krull. Kate was made into the mother she needs to be for a time such as Lucy now faces, and she is doing it with strength and class. My grandson Jude came home from preschool saying “Go, Lucy, go” one day. I join him today and as long as Lucy is fighting her physical battles. With faith in God’s love, determination to fight this battle with the family, the community is saying with one loud voice, “Go, Lucy, go!”
Readers’ Views Thankful for tornado relief Dear Editor, On behalf of the citizens of Milan, I wish to express my appreciation to Mayor David Gordon and the City of Covington. As you may know, Milan received major damage in an April tornado. The City of Covington was gracious enough to send a claw truck and a crew to
Milan for two days. This kind act was very helpful to our clean-up efforts! Additionally, the Covington employees were great to work with. Covington should be very proud. I can’t thank Covington enough. If Milan can ever return the favor in some way, I hope you won’t hesitate to call. Sincerely, Mayor Chris Crider
Naifeh condemns continued attack on TN teachers (Nashville) – A House panel passed an antiteacher bill Wednesday that continues an effort to strip teachers of their ability to effectively negotiate for better classrooms for students and better working conditions for their profession, said Speaker Emeritus Naifeh. “This bill is designed to reach an agreement with the state Senate to destroy all rights to negotiate from more than 52,000 Tennessee teachers,” said Naifeh (D-Haywood & Tipton Counties). “This is an attack on Tennessee teachers, nothing less.” The anti-teacher bill, which is expected to pass in another

Have you forgotten? Have you forgot? “Buster” Brown and his dog, Tide, lived in a shoe. Don’t you know it was crowded in ’ere? When there were heel taps. When the barn was painted or ‘fixed’ before the house? If you wanted a chicken for supper you went out in the backyard and wrung a neck, no supermarket. At one time, stores had ‘sales people’ to assist you. Now it is self service, which actually means--no service! All day suckers lasted ‘All Day’! Stand on a slop bucket and crank a phone to wake up the operator! How to patch an inner tube. Ever try a ‘boot’? Ever lose at mumble peg and dig? Have you forgot? When you weren’t afraid to pick up a hitchhiker! When Mommas saved Quality and S&H green stamps? When stores were closed on Sunday! When folks would bow their head and close their eyes during prayer. When women wore ‘horsehair slips’ starched to high heaven! Kids would actually play with a broken bat held together with nails and tape! A must was black & white oxfords! Redeeming stamps for prizes? Ever find half a worm in a green apple? Have you forgot? When a handshake was a man’s word. When you could get a Drug Store milkshake in the silver over sized shaker? And to boot, the ice cream was actually real! Push ups, dream-sickles, chocho! Riding the ‘whip’ at

Shirt collars contained so much starch you had to face straight ahead and stare at the Preacha’. (or razor cut yo’ neck). If you broke your shoestring, tie a knot and hide the knot under the flap.

Families visiting on Sunday afternoons out under the shade trees. A ‘fast’ lane was a gravel road with not many washed-out dips. Six drinking out of the same dipper after skimming the bugs off the top. Ever trace your ancestry? Ever lose your skate key? Have you forgot? When folks were proud to be an American? Proud to be a Southerner? Proud to be countrified? Proud to help their neighbors. Proud to sweat? Held the “GOOD BOOK” close to their hearts and chimed in with a resounding “AMEN”! Got misty eyed in harmony reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Praised the military kids for their service? Don’t forget what you forgot! American by Birth and Southern by the Grace of GOD…GLORY!

Investing beyond short-term CDs Additionally, early or excessive withdrawals may be subject to penalties. If you believe a fixed annuity might be appropriate for your situation, speak with your financial advisor.
By EDWARD JONES Special to The Leader Many people depend on certificates of deposit (CDs) to provide extra income. Yet CD rates have been fairly low for a while. In recent months, in fact, one-year CDs were paying about 0.5%, two-year CDs topped out at around 1%, and five-year CDs paid in the 2% to 2. 3% range. Those rates are scanty enough, but they can seem even lower in an economic environment marked by rising food and gas prices. Before you consider alternatives, keep in mind that CDs still offer a key advantage: safety of principal. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) typically insures CDs up to $250,000. And since CDs are relatively short-term in nature, you don’t have to worry about locking away that money for long periods of time. So there can be a place for CDs in the fixed-income portion of your portfolio. However, during times such as these, you might consider looking at addi-
FINANCIAL FOCUS S TEVEN J. J ONES
tional options, keeping in mind that, when seeking greater income, you’ll likely be taking on more risk. Let’s consider a few alternatives: Fixed annuities Many people buy fixed annuities to supplement their retirement income. But most annuities also allow you to take up to 10% of your account value each year without penalty. Plus, the interest rate you receive on a fixed annuity may be more competitive than that currently paid by a CD. Keep in mind, though, that annuities are not backed by FDIC insurance, and any guarantees are backed solely by the paying ability of the insurance company.
NAIFEH
Continued from A4 “We’re asking everyone including our teachers, their families and their friends to call the state legislature and ask their House and Senate members to vote against this bill,” Naifeh said. The bill will now head for a full House vote and is expected to be re-shaped into the Senate version, which will strip the rights of teachers to better their careers and the learning environment of Tennessee students. Bi-partisan group pushes tax relief for flood victims (Nashville) — House Democrats and Republicans filed a bill Tuesday to provide tax relief for flood and tornado victims, said Naifeh. Tennesseans that qualify for Federal Emergency Management Agency assistance authorized by President Barack Obama, under the measure, could buy appliances, building materials and home furnishings tax free through the end of the year. “The most important thing right now is for everyone to keep all their receipts until this legislation is approved,” said Naifeh (D-Haywood & Tipton Counties).
Bond ladders If appropriate for your situation, you can potentially gain extra income through a strategy known as a bond “ladder.” To build a ladder, you buy several bonds with varying maturities — short-, intermediate- and long-term. Once you’ve constructed your ladder, you could gain some advantage in various interest rate environments. When market rates are low, you’ll still have your longer-term bonds earning higher interest rates. And when market rates rise, you can reinvest your maturing short-term bonds at the higher rates. But if you need income in addition to your regular interest payments, you can get it from the maturing bonds. Unlike CDs, however, bonds are not covered by FDIC insurance and
“We’ve got to help our friends and neighbors get back on their feet. We plan to move this legislation through as quickly as possible, so that Tennesseans can start putting their lives back together.” The proposal provides for tax exemptions on household appliances up to $3,200 per item, building materials up to $500 per item and furnishings up to $3,200 per item. The exemptions are capped at $2,500 per household. Also, a $25,000 fine would be imposed on anyone who fraudulently applies for the assistance. The deadline for filing receipts with the Department of Revenue is February 29, 2011. “Our hearts go out to those that lost so much due to these terrible acts of nature,” Naifeh said. “We’ll be issuing more information on how to apply for these tax refunds when the bill passes next week.” Legislation combating meth use and production passes House NASHVILLE – A very important bill to address the growing problem of meth use here in Tennessee passed the House Thursday, Naifeh said. “This is an issue that we need to continue to address as we move
are subject to credit risks. Bonds are also subject to interest rate risk: When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall, and you may lose some or all of your principal if you sell your bond prior to maturity. But by holding your bonds until maturity, you can avoid loss of principal, assuming the issuer doesn’t default. Dividend-paying stocks Some companies have paid — and increased — their stock dividends for many years now. If you don’t need the dividends to boost your cash flow, you can reinvest them to help boost your ownership stake. However, companies can reduce or discontinue their dividends at any time, and since stock prices fluctuate, you risk losing some or all of your principal. By exploring alternatives to short-term CDs, you may find other appropriate investments that may better position you to reach your financial goals — so look around to see what’s available in the financial marketplace.
forward,” Naifeh said. “Meth is destroying lives in Tennessee. I think this bill will save lives.” House Bill 1051 would increase the penalties on meth makers and implement a new tracking system for the purchase of the key meth ingredient of pseudoephedrinebased decongestants. Under the bill, pharmacies would have to use the National Precursor Log Exchange, which tracks the purchase of pseudoephedrine. The T.B.I. and pharmacies will now update the database every seven days. This would allow pharmacists to determine if persons were buying more than should be allowed as determined under state law. The bill also creates the following penalties: If meth is being made in the presence of a child, the offender will be charged with aggravated child endangerment. A Class A felony if the child is 8 or less; class B if over 8. Buying these decongestants for the production of meth would be a mandatory fine of $1,000 or $2,000 on subsequent offenses. Possession of 15 grams of pseudoephedrine will be considered evidence of the intent to manufacture meth.

Charger Beat By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader To the senior class of 2011 As has been my custom for the past 20 years, this edition of the Charger Beat is dedicated to this year’s graduating seniors. It has been my great pleasure over the past four years to chronicle your athletic, academic and public service exploits in the community. They have been numerous and beneficial to the few and the many. From canned food drives for food pantries, to Make-A-Wish dreams for a small child, to touchdowns, three pointers and home runs, you have thrilled us with your abilities and humbled us with your care and concern for others. Thank you for your example. You will leave CHS with a diploma; it opens some doors. Some will go on to higher education. More doors will open. Some will not. Some doors will close for those. In either case, life will continue. Do something positive with it. Set goals and do all you can to achieve them. Then set more and go after them. Life is meant to be lived. Dive into it. Plunge into its exhilarating waves. That’s the beauty of it. The more you use it, the more you have. Strive to be happy at whatever you do and always remember that you have a Charger home that you can return to. You are loved here always.

Clouds, clouds, go away, come again another day! I think that’s the old saying, but I’m going to change the last part to “come again next year!� How’s that? It’s worth a try! Thank God the flood of the century has begun to degrade somewhat. Our prayers are still with all of the families affected by this horrible experience, as well as the victims of our recent tornadoes. A memorable spring for sure. The national news said – in case you didn’t hear it – that the flooding of the Mississippi River will go down in history books. Downtown is where I spent my growing up years. I do not want to go down and see it. I will wait until it’s full summer to go view my old stomping grounds. Well, the Dunlap Fun-
Fest went very well. The face painting booth, where I worked, was very busy most of the day. I loved seeing the little children smile. I even had a couple of adult men, whom I love to pick on anyway, by the names of Grandpa Kenneth Mason and old Mr. Billy Chapman. Ken said he loved his red heart I painted on his face. Thank you, grandpa. And to you, old Billy Chapman, you got it whether you wanted it or not! Thanks to Mrs. Brenda Mason for helping hold him down! Don’t you know by now that women always get their way? Salem Presbyterian Church Worship is at 11 a.m. each Sunday. Rev. Charles Todd is the minister. Please be in prayer for our Vacation Bible School, which will be June 12-16. If anyone has any crafts or bought items for Bonclarken please give them to Jean Harris by May 29. We are beginning a new
program called Fellowship Groups. Keep this in your prayers as well. Happy birthdays this week go to Kendall Downing, Brad Osbourn, and Beth Regen. Hope they are each the greatest! Sharon Presbyterian Church We welcome all members, friends and visitors to the fellowship of Sharon ARP. Everyone is always welcome. Worship is at 9 a.m. every Sunday morning. Rev. Charles Todd is the minister. Please remember Mrs. Mary Kirk as she has been ill, but she is improving. Covington Church of Christ Worship begins at 10:30 a.m. every Sunday morning and again at 5:30 p.m. Bible Study is at 9:30 a.m. Sunday mornings and again at 7:00 p.m. every Wednesday evening. Everyone is always welcome. Brother Mike Rogers is our minister, and
Brother Jeff Phillips is our associate minister. Please continue to remember the Coughlan family in the death of Mrs. Mary Joyce last week. We have many others on our prayer list. Mrs. Virgina Baxter is not feeling well, so please remember her at this time. Remember our Vacation Bible School coming up June 5-8. All ladies are invited to attend a bridal shower for Meghan Laxton on Sunday, May 22 at 2 p.m. here at the building. Morgan Hampton and Hunter Anderson request the honor of your presence at their wedding May 21 at 2 p.m. here at the building as well. Ashley Amsden and Niel Bringle request the honor of your presence at their wedding Saturday, May 28, at 6 p.m. in the church with a reception followed at the Chamber Center. Sounds like love is in the air! Happy birthdays this week go to Rick Langston,
THURSDAY, MAY 19, 2011 Amy Hall and Billy Kidd. Hope they are all the greatest! Happy anniversary to John and Cammy Evans along with Jeremy and Andrea Newman. In closing, watch out for that POISON IVY and POISON OAK! It’s everywhere you look. I have a
history of being allergic to it, and I’ve already contracted my first case of the year while out spraying to kill it. Be careful and have a great week. I will not have notes in next week, as I will be at the graduation of my granddaughter, Whitney Barber, which is out of town.

Hello from Burlison. In last week's article I said that with the new roof even in all of this rain we still have leaks. What I meant to said was that we don’t have any leaks and yes Richard I promise not to say anything else about the roof. John (J.E.) and Betty Boyd have returned from a five-day trip to Florida to attend their granddaughter Haily Stansberry's graduation from law school. Haily graduated from the University of Florida Levin College of Law, in Gainesville, receiving a Juris Doctor Degree and a certificate in Family Law. After graduation, Haily is moving to Colorado Springs and preparing to pass the Colorado bar exam. They stayed in a nice log cabin vacation rental, on a lake in Hawthorne, Fla., with daughter Nancy Costea, daughter Janet MacDonnchadh, son-in-law Mac and granddaughter Ally. They enjoyed fishing and relaxing, as well as the graduation ceremony and spending time with family. Have any of you heard about the predictions of May 21, 2011? This prediction, prophecy or whatever you

want to call it comes from a gentleman named Harold Camping. This coming Saturday, if this prophet of God (as he calls himself) is right we can expect a great earthquake. He says this earthquake will be bigger than any other quake in history. In the reading I’ve done on this subject Mr. Camping says, “The word of God was closed up until the end time and then God would reveal his word for those who would hear.� He also says that “The Lord has opened up His people’s understanding to the ‘Biblical calendar’ found in the pages of the Bible and that the genealogies of the book of Genesis, can be shown to be a precise calendar of the history of mankind in this world. The Bible’s calendar of history is completely accurate and trustworthy.� All that follows is according to Mr. Harold Camping who somehow believes he has been able to figure the exact day of the return of Jesus Christ. 11,013 BC—Creation. God created the world and man (Adam and Eve). 4990 BC—The flood of Noah’s day. All perished in a worldwide flood. Only Noah, his wife, and his 3 sons and their wives survived in the ark (6023 years from creation). 7 BC—The year Jesus Christ was born (11,006 years from creation).
33 AD—The year Jesus Christ was crucified and the church age began (11,045 years from creation; 5023 calendar years from the flood). 1988 AD—This year ended the church age and began the great tribulation period of 23 years (13,000 years from creation). 1994 AD—On Sept. 7, the first 2,300day period of the great tribulation came to an end and the latter rain began, commencing God’s plan to save a great multitude of people outside of the churches (13,006 years from creation). 2011 AD—On May 21, Judgment Day will begin and the rapture will occur at the end of the 23-year great tribulation. On October 21, the world will be destroyed by fire (7000 years from the flood; 13,023 years from creation). For more information, google May 21, 2011. It’s all over the Internet. If you ask me, I would have to answer with the scripture "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." Well, after this article if there is another one next week and you have any information you would like included, you can call 901-476-2683 or email kellumeddie@ yahoo.com.
be much simpler if we just let go and let God take care of our needs! The Bible says to “cast ALL our cares and worries on Him because He can handle them�, yet we keep taking back what we have already “given� to Him! Then we take it back, and then we give it back again! Let’s make up our minds people? I wonder how long its gona take our Holy Lord just to give up on us all anyway!! I’m the guilty one; forgive me Lord for doubting You! Though it was a beautiful day Saturday for our Springfest, it was still a little cool without a sweater to wrap around you! But the most beautiful and exciting thing about the whole day is that we made our goal of $2400! Praise God! We had to have $2400 and we made the final figure of $2802!
God is good, all the time! We had train rides that got attention of our children, some kind of a new game that made the children go wild! And then there’s Ms. Libby doing the face painting. Oh boy, did they enjoy that! Then there’s that wonderful gospel singing! WOW! Thank you so very much Alan and Rolland for singing and doing such a great job! Also thanks so much to the Brighton High School Jazz Band. Oh wow, it's standing ovation time! Thank you and all your students Mr. Womack, y'all are the best!

Hello everyone! Praise God from whom all blessing flow! No rain this past Saturday for our Springfest! God you are so good, we just praise Your Holy and Precious Name. It’s not all about us anyway, but it’s about You God and it’s not at all about us and our pettiness! It’s not about our weakness that gets us through! Man! When are we going to learn that? I have to ask myself daily, why do I constantly not trust God with everything? It would
Elaine Watkins • 476-7093 The sun finally came out after days and days of clouds. It's very cold, in the 50s yesterday! I think this is even too cold for Blackberry Winter! We got 1.1 inches of rain Friday, making a total of 7.8 inches for May so far on the mountain. Farmers are getting beside themselves; can't get in the field! Corn is growing though; glad we got as much planted as we did before the monsoon season set in. Last week is just a fog because of the loss of my sister-in-law, Mary Joyce Coughlan. She was talking, gasped and was gone, last Tuesday at 3 p.m. She had found out about her pancreatic cancer on April 1, I believe. The silver lining is that she wasn't in pain and didn’t suffer long. Larry, Jeffrey and Christie, Carter, Corbin, Chloe Coughlan and Donna and Scott Foster are all in my prayers. I will miss her so much. She was in our First Friday Dinner and Movie group and always went on the cruises.
and yesterday for the service. Brothers Thomas and Donald Delk and sisters, Linda Uselton and Debbie Criss are in my prayers, along with their families. I spent last Tuesday cleaning out the doghouse, formerly chicken house. Drug everything out of there, scraped the floor with a hoe, swept and swept, and now it's clean and probably just another area where

Greetings – It’s still here, water! However much of it, it still has not dampened the people of the South’s spirit of survival. In fact, I believe that it has strengthened the faith of many, as well as show many affected by all of this the true meaning of the word “neighbors.� It’s a joy to see everyone coming together, lending a hand to help out, whether it’s by their giving of their time or their money. Once again I believe that God does everything for our good, according to His mercies and His goodness towards us, his children. So, we’ll continue lending our hands as well as our prayers too and for all of our neighbors.

On May 14, 1861, the Tipton Rifles, nearly 100 volunteers commanded by Captain John Turner, left Covington en route for Germantown where they were attached to a unit known as the 4th Tennessee Infantry Regiment. The men from the Covington area were designated Company I of the 4th Infantry. The regiment was then ordered to Fort Wright at Randolph. Covington’s first newspaper, the Weekly Spy, was established in January 1861. Robert Columbus Russ, publisher and editor, announced to his readers that the paper was “devoted to the interest of the South, literature, agriculture, wit, humor, foreign and home news.� The newspaper was published on Saturdays and was described as a “secessionist newspaper� by the Memphis Daily Appeal. The issue of the Weekly Spy dated May 18, 1861, Volume. 1, No. 18, Page 1, Column 4 contained an editorial which read in part:

ber: “When life comes at you too fast, maybe it’s time to take a detour?� On May 15 at 2 p.m., Bright Hill M.B. church of Jamestown celebrated the 29th anniversary of Pastor Sherman P. (Wilada) Cole. The Coles have brought so much to our small community. Our hats off to them! Special guests on Sunday were Pastor I. Sheppard and Union Grove M.B. Church of the Plantation Community in Buelson, Tennessee.
Our Country “Who is unmoved while America, the glory of the earth, the home of the free and brave is one vast military camp! No one, we presume; for all o’er our broad land we see our countrymen gathering together, preparing for the coming conflict. On our side we behold the true descendents of the patriots of ’76 willing and ready to suffer all the hardships of another seven year’s war—willing to sacrifice their lives and fortunes for liberty and equality‌ We believe that the sons of the South will prevail—their patriotism like that of their forefathers, will yet be lauded throughout the world. In a few days that valiant band, the Tipton Rifles, will go hence to take the field in defense of liberty. May they be as Morgan’s Rifles in the first struggle for freedom— never miss fire, and may God, who suffers not a sparrow to fall, protect them and bring them back. We trust that the sun may not go down many more times before the proud flag of freedom shall waive triumphant all o’er on Southern land and we hope that ere it draws its golden rays from over western hilltops, tomorrow’s eve that it will be hung on the dome of that city which bears the name of its illustrious founder— WASHINGTON.

Reports from Fort Wright, Randolph On May 16, 1861, General Gideon J. Pillow sent from Memphis a large amount of brick for gunpowder magazines and additional laborers (50 hands) for the river batteries, with drays, mules, etc. Brigadier General Sneed was ordered to furnish all possible aid to the various works. The following sketch of life in camp at Randolph is from the correspondence of a member of the Hickory Rifles, in the Christian Advocate: "The first two or three days after we came here were very inclement, rendering it impossible to keep dry or comfortable in marching, or on guard, or even in our tents. They are open at one end; plank or straw are placed upon the ground, to lay our blankets on. Yet only a very few have been on the sick list. Six men are allotted to each tent, and eight to each mess. Every mess has its head man, who, every day at 10 o'clock, draws rations for it, and is supplied with an iron kettle, oven wash pan, tin bucket, wooden bucket and coffee pot. Each member of the mess has his tin plate, cup, spoon and knife and fork. We have our own cooking, washing, etc., to do, which seems quite funny. We are not remarkably skillful in the performance of these domestic duties yet, but we are learning 'by degrees.'" The Compiled Military

Hello dear readers: On the April 29, we went down to our place at Tunica Cut Off Lake. We had just recently put in an electric stair lift so we had gone down to put it at the top of the stairs. The water was up to the first step of the stairs. I had to take off my shoes to get to the stairs. So after that the water got higher and higher. We went down a week later and the Tunica Lake was closed and the police were blocking the road. He said, "that Tunica Lake had been declared a disaster
area and no one could go in the area." All the people that lived there had evacuated the area, living with relatives and staying in the shelters provided by the red cross. One of the neighbors had called us and said she saw our trailer on the news and it was not totally under water. It is on 15 feet stilts. So we are hoping and praying it will be okay. Our son that lived in Richmond, Va. just returned home with all of his stuff. They are going to get a divorce. (in VA. you have to be seperated six months before you can get a divorce.) So with Tunica Cut-off closed, he had to unload his stuff here at our
www.covingtonleader.com home. We had a yard sale last Saturday. He did okay at the sale but our garage is still full. If anyone wants knives, & sabers, he still has plenty left. Also there is a collection of salt and peppers shakers (like three big boxes).

Congratulations to Will Embry, Alexandrian Graham and Kaitlyn Wilson are our graduated. Our homebound focus is Cathryn Cupples. Mr. Cupples is in the hospital and Mildred Wiseman who has a tumor.
Last Tuesday evening we had a car accident. I spent three hours in Covington ER. They X-rayed me from head to toe. I had no broken bones. The next day I was black and blue where my seat belt held me tightly. The air bags opened up and saved us from injuries. My husband did not even get a scratch. Our big red truck was totaled out. This week we had to go out and buy a new car. We had a rental car for several days. Prayers: Patra Ballard, Lois Conger, Edna Downing, John Downing, Charlene Lott, Paula Hathcock, Zadie Pugh, Mildred Wiseman, Evelyn Griffin and Dale Ferguson. Love & Prayers.

19.96 SPECIAL
TRA baseball, softball look to state
Celebrating 15 years in the business since 1996. Our $19.96 is for first cut or spray. Call for details!
Starting today, things will be pretty busy at Tipton-Rosemark Academy’s Paul Barrett Sportsplex. The Lady Rebel softball team hosts EzellHarding in a sub-state doubleheader starting today at 5 p.m. If the games are split, a deciding game will be played Friday at 4 p.m. at EzellHarding. The TRA baseball team will host Franklin Road Academy in a doubleheader on Friday starting at 4:30 p.m. If a deciding game is needed it will be played Saturday at 1 p.m. at Franklin Road. The winners of those series advanced to the state tournament, which begins May 24 in Murfreesboro. The Rebel baseball team earned the right to host a sub-state series by finishing second in last week’s Division II-AWest Region Tournament, despite entering the tournament as a seven seed. TRA was tied with USJ 6-6 in the sixth inning of Thursday’s semifinal game before scoring three runs in the top of the seventh with two outs to prevail 9-7. Colton Hall came up with a big two-RBI single in the inning to spark the rally. Andrew Ralston hit a two-run homerun in the third and Wilston Prestage followed him with a solo shot to put TRA ahead early. In the title game that followed, TRA fell to ECS 5-4, despite rallying late. The Rebels trailed 3-0 through five frames. In the top of the sixth, Ralston came up with a two-out double and Wilson Prestage singled home Ralston to tie the game and chase ECS starter Stephen Chandler, who had allowed just two hits and struck out five up to that point. In the top of the seventh, Cody Migliore scored from third on a passed ball with two outs to give the Rebels the lead. “I’m always telling my guys to find a way to compete,” TRA coach Brad Smith said. “That’s
the reason you play seven innings, because the game’s never over. We competed against a hot ball club. I’m extremely proud of my guys.” TRA junior J.T. Moody (4-4) went the distance for TRA. He held the Eagles’ offense in check until Austin Cole broke through with an RBIsingle in the fourth inning. In the fifth, Nathan Qualls singled home a run and Parrish drove home a run with another single. Moody struck out Cole with the bases loaded to escape further damage. “The seventh seed wasn’t what we wanted, but we didn’t give up,” Moody said. “We’ve never hosted sub-state before and we’re excited about it.” The TRA softball team also finished second in the Division II-A-West Region Tournament. After a 9-4 win over Fayette Academy in the semifinals, TRA (18-7-2) lost to USJ 10-0 in the title game. “Our goal is to get to state,” said TRA coach Joe Layton. “You win you go to state. You lose you go home.” Despite trailing TiptonRosemark Academy 4-3 in the bottom of the seventh inning Thursday night in the Division II-A-West region tournament title game, ECS head coach Ryan Porter was not nervous. “Before we batted I told the guys we weren’t going to make an out,” Porter said. “I believed that.” He was right. Michael Parrish led off the inning with a triple, Brent Rooker followed with an RBI-single and Josh Ingram finished the game with a line drive over the rightfielder’s head, driving in Rooker from second for a 5-4 ECS win. “It was a curve ball,” said Ingram, a senior who was 2 for 4 with a pair of RBI’s. “He’d been throwing a first pitch curve ball to a lot of people and I just took it the other way.” The win means ECS (24-6) will host a bestof-three sub-state series next weekend.
Despite entering the tournament as the seventh seed, TRA (28-11) also earned the right to host a sub-state series next week with the second place finish. The Rebels trailed 3-0 through five frames. In the top of the sixth, Andrew Ralston came up with a two-out double and Wilson Prestage singled home Ralston to tie the game and chase ECS starter Stephen Chandler, who had allowed just two hits and struck out five up to that point. In the top of the seventh, Cody Migliore scored from third on a passed ball with two outs to give the Rebels the lead. “I’m always telling my guys to find a way to compete,” TRA coach Brad Smith said. “That’s the reason you play seven innings, because the game’s never over. We competed against a hot ball club. I’m extremely proud of my guys.” TRA junior J.T. Moody (4-4) went the distance for TRA. He held the Eagles’ offense in check until Austin Cole broke through with an RBIsingle in the fourth inning. In the fifth, Nathan Qualls singled home a run and Parrish drove home a run with another single. Moody struck out Cole with the bases loaded to escape further damage. Rooker (3-1) pitched the final inning and a third to pick up the win. The Eagles, the tournament’s top seed, went 4-0 in the tournament. TRA defeated USJ earlier in the afternoon, 9-7, to advance to the title game. “You’ve got to give a lot of credit to TiptonRosemark,” Porter said. “That was their second game of a doubleheader. They gave us everything we wanted and more.”
Said Moody, “The seventh seed wasn’t what we wanted, but we didn’t give up. We’ve never hosted sub-state before and we’re excited about it.”

Commander Alan Beasley It was a living history
demonstration of what happened in Tipton County, one hundred and fifty years, ago. And, also a very keen insight to how they lived during those times. At one time immediately before and during the early stages of the Civil War there were some 4500 troops stationed at Fort Wright, Randolph, Tennessee, to guard the Mississippi River. Nathan Bedford Forrest, his brother and son were among those troops. There is a powder magazine on top of the hill of the hill that is an item that you should not miss. Made from bricks and built into the side of the bluffs, it was designed to store and protect the gunpowder used for cannon balls and bullets, at that time. It is not very far into the bluffs but carry a flash light and you can see wonderful works of masonry craftsmen that built the magazine out of bricks. It is two chambers. Parents with young children, this would be a wonderful place to share a major slice of Tipton County History with your family and have
good time touring the museum and powder magazine along with the gun emplacements and breast works. It is sitting on a high bluff that offers a beautiful and panoramic view of the river and bluffs. The units have long range goals to preserve and protect the area especially he Powder Magazine but also the embankments that formed the defensive perimeters.

Music back on
the SQUARE By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com
GATHER 'ROUND THE SQUARE In their sixth year of organized Music on the Square, the City of Covington and Chamber of Commerce continue to find the event to be a popular among Tipton County residents as well as those from Haywood an Lauderdale Counties.
Saturday night fun, good times and great music are back on track on Covington Court Square. Music on the Square features a multitude of different music artists, both full bands and talented singers, every Saturday night until June 25. ""This is the sixth year we've done this," said chamber of commerce executive director, Lee Johnston. "The music fits every-
body. It's a time when anybody can come enjoy free entertainment. Folks bring lawn chairs and enjoy the music with nonprofit organizations providing food and drink. It's great for the family." There's something for everyone including the Hokey-Pokey and the Chicken Dance for the children during intermission. Music on the Square is a joint venture between the City of Covington and the CovingtonTipton County Chamber of Commerce.
Schedule May 21 - Wild Hearts May 28 - Scott Myatt & Steve Short, ballads, folk and blues June 4 - Grace Askew, a music blend of country, urban folk, Memphis soul and jazz June 11 - Generation Gap, local Tipton County artists playing music from the '60s and '70s June 18 - Trapper Haskins & the Bitter Swill June 25 - Missouri's Most Wanted, country blues and rock 'n roll
Members from First Presbyterian Church in Covington came out to enjoy the music and fun. Pictured, left to right, are Ryan Barton, Johnna Climer, Karah Spearman and Keelyn Sealy.
'I'M IN THE MOOD FOR A MELODY' The West Memphis band, Infinity, took the stage last Saturday night and dazzled the crowd with choice rhythm and blues and rock 'n roll selections. Above right, two attendees decide to demonstrate a few dance steps for everyone. Above left, Music on the Square is perfect for the whole family including young children. Photos by Tyler Lindsey
Springfest has sprung at Dunlap On Saturday morning, May 14, Dunlap Retirement Center kicked off its annual Springfest celebration. Organizers made sure there was entertainment and fun available for everyone, young and old. Games like the football and basketball toss kept the children busy while the older attendees were more interested in arts and crafts tents and the military vehicle show. However, everybody came together for the good food and fellow-
ship. In addition, music was provided during the event. The Brighton Jazz Band performed along with a gospel-singing duo Ms. Patsy Fee's fried pies were a culinary highlight of the event. Many of those at Springfest made sure they didn't leave without one. However, the most notable feature of the festival was that the fundraising goal of $2,400 was surpassed with $2,802.
Above, many attendees enjoyed arts and crafts tents, games, food, music and more at Dunlap Retirement Center on May 10. Photos by Andy Posey

Is Fundamentalism a Dirty Word? The term fundamentalist as applied to any aspect of religion has come to be very pejorative one. But, does it really deserve to be used in such a negative way? The term “evangelical” used to be what the fundamentalists of the day called themselves. That was about seventy-five years or so ago. The description simply meant those who believed the Bible in a literal interpretative manner and were active in spreading the Gospel through both preaching and individual soul-winning. Another characteristic was their separation from the world. It is at this exact point, separation from the world, that so much misunderstanding has found its beginning. There is no use denying that some fundamentalists have gone overboard on their separation. Neither can it be denied that the news media and others have tied the term fundamentalist to nearly every radical, extremist, theological weirdo and cult of the day. The latest example is the polygamist group in Texas. On the other hand, many more moderate believers have simply quit trying to be different than the world and have decided to be friendly or at least inoffensive to the world. Neither of these is correct. They are both equally wrong and damaging to the cause of Christ. We are called to be different and not to love the world. You can read
the verses for yourself, just check 1 John 2:15 and James 4:4. If you are at home in this world, you are a poor witness for Christ. As one who has been asso-
By Freeman Weems ciated with the fundamentalist movement for the last thirty-four years let me try to give a good picture of a balanced fundamentalist position. We do believe the Bible should be interpreted literally unless the context calls for an allegorical or symbolic interpretation. For instance, in Jeremiah 31:29, 30, when the Bible speaks of eating a sour grape, it is readily discernible that the truth being illustrated is personal responsibility for sin. So, a fundamentalist is someone who believes the Bible is the Word of God and is not subject to our correction or approval. “If I can correct the Bible, it cannot correct me,” was
the statement of Evangelist Billy Goolesby. Further, fundamentalists believe that it is our responsibility to take the Gospel to those who know not the Lord. The independent Baptist segment of fundamentalism has always been deeply committed to world-wide missions. That commitment is still fresh today. We are to be involved in the great work of winning souls to Christ. It means that we will occasionally run afoul of those who are not interested, but it is our duty and privilege to obey Jesus' command to go into all the world with the good news of salvation. Purposely offending the lost, being obnoxious, or just downright stubborn are not signs of a spirit-filled believer. I have begun to wonder if we should find some other means to describe ourselves. Instead of fundamentalist we could say that we are biblically conservative or traditional. The term evangelical lost its significance and fundamentalist took its place. The issue with the one was the compromising nature of so many who called themselves evangelical. Now it appears that the term fundamentalist has been so splattered with the mud of innuendo that we may have to give it up as well.
