City to purchase downtown church By SHERRI ONORATI Special to The Leader During Tuesday’s bi-monthly meeting of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Covington, the board was presented with a proposal to purchase the city property owned by the First Baptist Church. The property includes

church offices and sanctuary on Main St., a parking lot on Washington Ave., a single family home at 126 W. Washington Ave., and the rental home at 133 W. Pleasant Ave. The current appraisal of the property, conducted in 2008, lists the total market value of the suggested properties at approximately $1,627,800. The city would purchase the prop-

erty for $750,000. Not all of Covington’s aldermen thought the proposal was a good move for the city of Covington. Aldermen Shelvie Rose, William Scruggs and William “Ed” Timberlake, voted against the purchase, with aldermen Tommy Black, John Edwards and Tommy Hatcher voting for the proposal.

Mayor David Gordon was required to cast the deciding vote, and choose to vote for the purchase of the property. “It makes good sense for the city,” said Gordon. “The property is almost three-quarters of a city block. It would allow us to expand our parking on the square by 40 spaces which is critical for downtown.” The purchase of the First

Buying this property would enable us to provide (an emergency) shelter. Covington Mayor David Gordon Baptist Church property would require the city to borrow the money with a repayment plan of 10-20 years. The estiSEE CHURCH, PAGE A3

CLASS OF 2011

By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader Covington High track head coach and wellness instructor Joe King noted two milestones in a remarkable career this week. Along with the CHS Class of 2011 who graduated on May 23, King reminisced about his own high school graduation on the same date in 1953 from a private institution, Snow Hill Institute, in Snow Hill, Alabama. “One of my teachers was the grandmother of Joe King, who has the filmmaker Spike Lee,” said been teaching since 1956, retired King. “I played Thursday. football and basketball with Lee’s uncles growing up.” On May 25, he reached a second marker in his journey, retiring from Covington High to close a 55 year teaching and coaching career. From his birth home in Marion, Ala., King made his way to Nashville where he earned undergraduate and masters degrees from Tennessee State. Along the way he added on graduate work at Bethel University and the 30-plus graduate hours at the University of Alabama. Coach King landed his first teaching assignment at St. Vincent DePaul School in Nashville by way of a physics professor at TSU. “The professor had a son at St. Vincent who was playing basketball and they needed a basketball coach,“ King said. “He sent me out there and I was hired. The kid was named Ronnie Lawson. He went on to UCLA and played for Coach Wooden on the Gail Goodrich teams for a little while before he got into some kind of trouble.” King remained at St. Vincent until 1957 and then moved to Burrell-Slater High in Florence, AL until 1960. From there he went SEE RETIRES, PAGE A3

Student, coach organize prom event for exceptional students By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com As Lady Gaga’s words, “Just dance!” blared through the speakers, the exceptional students in Tipton County did just that at their prom Thursday night, May 12. At 6 p.m., students, teachers and administrators met at Covington High School for a firsttime-ever prom for exceptional students. “This is the first time this opportunity has been

exclusively offered to the exceptional children of Tipton County,” said supervisor of 6th-12th grade special education, Tom Barton. The idea came from CHS junior Elizabeth Newman who, in her own preparation for prom, thought it would be a good idea. After asking Coach Sharman Coley if she could help, they and CDC consulting teacher Becky Todd began contacting teachers at BHS and MHS to organize a

county-wide prom. “I thought it would be a great idea,” said Coley. “I realized that at CHS 21 students could attend. So, the we’re talking about a big group of students here.” All three Tipton County high schools cooperated in making this event possible. CHS teachers provided appetizers and decorations and MHS teacher Judy Davis and her students were responsible for catering as well.

A trio from Brighton was arrested earlier this month after police discovered they were scrapping stolen metal to help pay a bond. On Monday, May 9, Poplar Grove Utility District reported the theft of an estimated 30 boring rods. The rods were stolen from a work site at Old Memphis Road where crews were boring under roadways to install and repair gas lines, authorities said. During the investigation, detectives received a report the rods were at Hodges Scrapyard in Stanton. Tipton County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Chief Donna Turner said the department recovered 27 of the stolen rods. Turner said the suspects – identified as Paul Allen Grisham, 25, of 8618 Hwy. 51 in Brighton, Steven Duane Wallace, 27, of 728 Nelson Road in Brighton and Angela Rene Cox, 35, of 728 Nelson Road in Brighton – admitted to stealing the metal. The trio reportedly stole the rods to get money to make a bond for a pending theft charge against Wallace. The charge, which was theft of property over $1,000, stemmed from a case in which Wallace is suspected of stealing tractor weights and scrapping them for cash. SEE SCRAP, PAGE A3

www.covingtonleader.com A filmmaker is taking on a big project once again this summer in Tipton County. Casey Watson is seeking actors to shoot a film entitled “Beyond the Sun”, starting this July. Written and directed by Watson, “Beyond the Sun” tells the story of a young boy named Cole Summers who has lost everything he once loved. Summers is haunted by a past filled with the murders of his parents. As a result, he is forced to cope with growing up with mental conditions. The story jumps ahead to when Summers is 17 years old and is living with hateful foster parents while he struggles to have a normal life amidst bullies and a charge to deal with the past. Watson will be holding auditions on Tuesday, May 31 at Brighton Baptist Church on Kenwood Avenue. For more information, call 901-949-5837.

Soldier surprises brother for graduation By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com Covington High School graduate John Dawson is on cloud nine. The graduate landed the fifth academic position in his class, a feat worthy of distinction and excitement But John wasn’t ready for what met him before graduation. “My brother has been in Kandahar, Afghanistan for three months, and he actually got to come into town for graduation,” Dawson said. John was surprised graduation morning by the return of his brother, Joshua, where he was stationed

overseas with the United States Army. Joshua has been in the Army for two years now, but he said that this plan had been in the works for months now. “I was able to pick a window when I could come home. For the past five months now, I’ve been trying to plan this. I tried everything to make sure I didn’t miss it,” said Joshua, who graduated from CHS in 2000. The two said they fought like regular siblings before John was in high school, but things soon changed after that. “He’s the reason I like a lot of the music I like. All of the car-

toons I watched and video games I played whenever I was younger, I lived through him growing up,” said John. “He’s been very influential to me. There’s no way I could do what he does.” However, John has some pretty substantial plans for himself. Before starting at Christian Brothers University this fall, majoring in applied psychology, he hopes to attend a summit meeting for a non-profit organization in San Diego this summer. Joshua said he’s proud of his brother. “He’s going to go on and do big things.”

Couponing workshop to be held Saturday By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com Covington’s Meg Kavanaugh doesn’t want to question where her money’s gone at the end of the month, she wants to tell it where to go. And she’s planning to help others do it, too. A growing trend among mainstream households is the practice of couponing. With the advent of shows like TLC’s “Extreme Couponing,” the trend is growing, but it’s also being misconstrued, Kavanaugh said. “Most people are not like that,” she said, responding to the myth that people who clip coupons and build stockpiles are as extreme as the families who appear on the hit television series. On the show it is not uncommon to watch as a subject pays less than $50 for hundreds, even thousands, of dollars in groceries. “That’s all for show. These stores are changing their policies to appear on the show.” Kavanaugh began couponing nearly two years ago when she and her husband moved to Covington from Arkansas. She said she now saves an estimated 50-75 percent when buying groceries.

No one likes to give their money away; I like to tell it where to go instead of wondering where it went. Meg Kavanaugh “We actually live above our means and it’s all because of coupons.” Kavanaugh doesn’t spend 30-40 hours per week clipping coupons, checking sales, making lists or devising strategies. And she doesn’t buy items in mass quantities just because she can. “Most people are not like that,” she said. “I basically use the buyahead principle. We can plan ahead and get what we need on sale.” Other common myths associated with couponing are that the practice is only used by lower class families, that money can be saved buying generics or that it takes a lot of time. Kavanaugh said she spends an average of an hour per week planning her shopping list according to sales inserts from local grocery stores, such as Naifeh’s, organizing her coupons and making a meal plan. Planning,

she said, is what couponing is really all about. “Couponing is having a plan – planning meals, planning your shopping trip, planning where your money goes.” Kavanaugh said stores usually have a six- to eight-week sales cycle, meaning items are usually on sale at one point every two months. If she has coupons that will allow her to purchase a box of cereal for $1, she will buy six boxes to last through the cycle. This saves her approximately $18. “Instead of paying $24 for six boxes of cereal, I’ll pay $6. That’s the whole point of stockpiling: getting things at the lowest price possible and saving money.” On Saturday, May 28, Kavanaugh, who runs the blog Saving on the Essentials (savingontheessentials.com) and its accompanying Facebook page and Twitter profile, will teach a basic couponing workshop. Through the class, she hopes to teach others how to plan to use their coupons and shop sales. “No one likes to give their money away; I like to tell it where to go instead of wondering where it went.” The workshop will take place at Calvary

Farmers’ Market to host art contest By TAYLOR SMITH tsmith@covingtonleader.com

We’re going to put it up forever, as long as the building is standing.

The Farmers’ Market in Covington is sponsoring a tiledecorating contest open to all students – elementary, middle, and high school - in Tipton County. For $20, students can enter the contest and paint fruits, vegetables or their favorite barnyard animal on a 6” x 6” tile. The fee covers the cost of the tile, the supplies to decorate it, and its firing. After the tile has been designed and fired, judges will determine a first, second and third place winner from each school. The winners of the competition will receive a ribbon and have their tile placed on

Lee Johnston the wall of the Farmers’ Market. “We’re going to put it up forever. As long as the building is standing,” said Lee Johnston, of the Covington Economic Development Corporation. There will also be a People’s Choice Award given to a student from each school. Students can ask relatives and friends to “vote” for his or her tile by donating $1. The money will be collected by

the contestant and turned in when he or she comes to pick up the tile. The tiles that collect the most votes will receive the award. Any money donated to a student will go to the Farmers’ Market to cover the cost of supplies for the contest. Non-winners will be able to take their tiles home after the contest is over. To enter the contest, parents should call the Tipton County Chamber of Commerce at 901476-9727 and select a time on June 14, 2011 for your student to paint their tile. The scheduled times are 9 a.m., 10:30 a.m., 12 p.m. or 1:30 p.m. The $20 supplies fee will be turned in when the contestant comes to decorate his or her tile.

PROM

Continued from A1 Choir director Carole Mathis and band director Katie Eaton provided dance music. Betty Grant and Charli Gorman from BHS helped with the organization and planned for photographers to capture the event. Attendees danced the night away to the students’ favorite songs like Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” and Lady Gaga. The teachers even joined in for an Electric-Slide type song and dance. The teachers and administrators had almost as good of a time as the students. “It was a great experience,” said Coley. “There were so many tears shed that night, tears of joy by parents and teachers. It was a night I’ll never forget.” Thrilled at the prom’s success, Barton sang high praises of everybody’s efforts. “I can’t imagine a prom where these kids would have more fun than they had that night. I don’t think the parents could be more pleased with a prom either. The only smiles that surpassed the kids’ were the smiles on the parents’ faces. It makes me proud to be a part of an organization that cares about their students so much.”

SCRAP

Continued from A1 to Montgomery High School in Lexington from 1960-63 as a football, basketball and track coach. Coach King finally found a home in Tipton County in the three teacher Saddler School in 1963 out on Hwy. 14. He recalled 1963 as a particularly tumultuous year, “we had a tornado and they shot JFK, it was wild.” From 1964-70 he was track and basketball coach at George R. Ellis School and then football coach at Munford High from 1970-77 before assuming his present position at CHS. For the past 34 years King has “covered the waterfront” at CHS. In addition to his duties as head coach of the track team he says that he has served as, defensive co-coordinator for the football team, assistant principal, physical science teacher, health teacher and chief cook and bottle washer. When you have been around as long as Coach it is hard to imagine that you have not been asked to pitch in for almost everything. Coach King counts three individual state champions and

two relay team state champions among his achievements over the years as well as more runner-ups than he can count. “James Maclin came in 2nd in the discus and shot put three straight years,” he said. “For a long time softball and track were the only regular participants at state from CHS. Track had a run of 25 consecutive years.” When asked about his best athletes, King classified them. “The strongest were a kid from Lexington named Anthony Buck and James Maclin from Covington,” King said. “ Buck could grab a blacksmith’s anvil from the pointed end and pick up off the ground. Maclin is on record with a 506 lb. bench press. Never saw the like of either of them.” As for the fastest of the speed burners he has coached over the years King noted Demetrius Brown, Derrick Stitt, Michael Burnett, Joe Dyson and Tony Rudd. ‘ His best academic students included James Maclin, Michael Matthews, and Clay Brown

who was his first CHS student to go to state and Tipton Co. Superintendent of Schools – elect Dr. Buddy Bibb who was Coach King’s quarterback when he was football coach at Munford. Coach King, who will be 75 on Aug.30, might be expected to sit back and smell the roses after raising five children with wife Josephine and enduring the rigors of a 55-year teaching and coaching career. Not he. “I plan to travel, do some counseling with at risk kids and help out in the nursing homes,” King said. “My mother spent 10 years in a nursing home and I owe some payback. We also have nine grandchildren and two granddogs. I miss the dogs. We’ll spend time with them. Josephine won’t have time for me. She is a member of every board in town. She’s gone all the time.” When asked for his parting wisdom, Coach left us with this, “Never look down your nose at anyone. You never know who may pick you up. Never mistreat a child. Discipline them but never mistreat.”

CHURCH

Continued from A1 mate cost of purchasing the property and bringing it into ADA compliance would set the city back approximately $1,200,000. “Our estimates is it would cost less than $25 a square foot to retrofit the buildings into ADA compliance,” added the mayor. “The buildings offered growth for the city. The Tipton County

the W. Pleasant residence and dividing the property located on Washington Ave. into two apartments. “We are asked all the time if the city has emergency shelter available,” said Gordon. “Buying this property would enable us to provide that shelter. I think this is a great opportunity for the city.”

Commission on Aging are limited on what they can offer our senior citizens and this would enable them to offer more.” The mayor also said the church office buildings could also potentially house classes sponsored by the Covington Parks and Recreation Department. Plans for the two homes, include possibly tearing down

Continued from A1 “This case was solved because a citizen took the time to call suspicious activity into detectives,” said Sheriff Pancho Chumley. “Anyone with information about this theft is asked to call the

Criminal Investigations Division.” Detectives may be reached at 901-475-3300. Additionally, callers may report information to Central Dispatch after hours at 901-475-4300 or email tips to sheriff@tiptonco.com.

THURSDAY, MAY 26, 2011

From Bucca with love, part 1 A little over three years ago, I returned from my final recall to active duty with a host of shipmates, friends and comrades in arms from a place called Camp Bucca, Iraq. I don’t really talk about it much, and not because I have horrid memories or problems talking about the war, it’s just that life goes on and upon JIM HARDIN my return I got busy getting back to life as a civilian. Now that some years have passed and the U.S. work in Iraq is coming to an end soon, I thought it might be enlightening to share the perspective from one who was there. I must admit that those of us who served in Camp Bucca are sometimes reluctant to talk about what we did. You see, it was a detainee facility where we kept combatants from Iraq and other parts of the Middle East. At one point, we held over 20,000 detainees. With all the publicity surrounding the highly unprofessional treatment of detainees at Abu Ghraib, it’s easier to not have to worry about explaining how those kind of things did not happen at Camp Bucca, and they really didn’t. This will be a several part series, so I suppose I should start at the beginning. I reported for duty in California on February 17, 2007, which was my 46th birthday. There were no birthday greetings from the officers and chiefs in charge and we quickly spent the next two weeks in-processing, obtaining our desert gear, and forming the Charlie Company of the Naval Provisional Detainee Battalion-3 (NPDB3). There were about 130 of us to compliment all of NPDB-3 for a battalion of over 400 sailors, a combination of active and reserve, and from all over the U.S. and Puerto Rico. From in-processing, we flew to Fort Bliss near El Paso, TX where we received more gear to carry, including our weapons, and were bused across to New Mexico to live and train for 2 months at Camp McGregor, a place designed to simulate the hardships and environment of Southern Iraq. At Camp McGregor we qualified in Army combat skills, combat life saver, convoy operations, close-quarter fighting, and detainee operations. All of this was done pretty much 14-16 hours everyday, 7 days per week, although Sundays were usually a light 10-12 hours so we could have nap time at chapel service. A couple of days into the training at Camp McGregor, Senior Chief Leon Thompson, a man with a tough as nails bark and the ability to bite, told me I would be his Leading First Class Petty Officer. He didn’t ask, he TOLD me, and I wasn’t going to tell him “no thanks”. I had made the mistake of getting noticed stepping in and organizing floundering sailors a couple of times, and now found myself in a position to be responsible for 120 sailors, and everything that may go wrong. I later realized the old gruff senior chief was deep down a good man of God who wanted to make sure each of us were ready for the real trials to come. He did not make a big deal of it, but he was always in chapel service when not on duty and one of the few “khaki’s” you’d see at chapel. We learned to give IVs, shoot moving targets from 300 yards, carry 70 pounds crawling under barbed wire, and a lot of other things I never thought this old sailor would ever do. While on the ground in training one day I reached over to get what I thought was a stick off of my weapon, only to realize it was a rattlesnake. I don’t know why it did not strike, but after “petting” it, I left my weapon on the ground, crawled back, and ran after telling the Drill Instructor. Quite a scene of panic ensued, but at least now my wife can no longer tell me when I can’t find something that “if it was a snake it would have bit you”, cause that don’t necessarily apply to me. Chief Hobbs, my direct Team Chief, was worried about the Leading Petty Officer getting hurt and being so old for such a rough training regimen, so he partnered me as my “Battle Buddy” for training with a female medical corpsman in case I was having a heart attack or something. The corpsman was one of eight females among the 120 E6 and below, and she was let’s say a bit of a big ole gal (to be nice, mostly because she was tall). Well, there were a couple of exercises where certain trainees would be designated injured and would have to be carried out by their Battle Buddy. Guess who got designated, and not just once, but twice? That’s right, my Battle Buddy. With my gear and both our weapons in tow, I had to pick her up and carry her out of the battle zone. After that, I thought I was going to have a heart attack, but somehow I survived. Well, in April we completed our training, went home for a few days R&R before departure, and then all returned to Camp McGregor to prepare for the trip to Iraq. A couple of days before we left, a Tornado swept across the valley by the camp, but no one was hurt and nothing was damaged except a little sage brush and perhaps a few rattlesnakes. With gear in tow, hearts heavy upon leaving our families,

That’s how it was Every Southern family proudly had a showcase garden. More attention to the soil aided by planning, experimentation, and experience provided better results. It has been a long time since us stump jumpers first heard the philosophers theory on Mr. Bens’ store front porch of, “see th’ rainbow o’er yonder touching down?” Of course we meekly answered with a timely obedient, “yess Suuhh.” Continuing, “well that means it’s hitting the ground in someone’s garden and every color in the ra’bow is spreading down on the ground into the garden.” I ain’t gonna’ argue with grownups, especially Mr. Bright or Mr. T.

Right moves with inherited stocks too conservative for your preferences. If the stock doesn’t fit within your risk tolerance, sell it and buy an investment that does.

By EDWARD JONES Special to The Leader When you inherit a sizable amount of stocks, your overall financial picture can change significantly. But to make the most of your inheritance, you need to decide what to do with your new stocks. Should you keep them or sell them? Before you can answer this question, you need to review several factors, including the following: Diversification You’ll need to determine if an inherited stock adds to your overall portfolio diversification. Do you already have other, similar stocks in your portfolio? If so, you might want to sell the stock and use the money for a new investment opportunity. Conversely, if you don’t own anything similar to the inherited stock, and it can help your diversify, it may well be worth keeping. While diversification, by itself, cannot guarantee a profit or protect

against loss, it can help reduce the effects of market volatility. Fundamentals It’s a good idea to closely scrutinize any stocks you inherited. Do they represent companies with strong management teams, good track records and competitive products or services? Or, as is sometimes the case, did your benefactor simply keep these stocks because he or she had some type of attachment to them? You’ll want to own quality stocks for the right reasons. • Risk tolerance — An inherited stock may be either too aggressive or

Taxes When you inherit stocks, they are generally valued at their market value on the day your benefactor died, not the date of the original purchase. For example, if you inherit stock that your father bought for $20 a share, and it’s worth $75 a share on the day he dies, your “cost basis” would be $75 a share. If you sell the stock right away, you’ll likely owe little or no income taxes. If the price of the inherited stock goes up before you sell it, you’ll pay capital gains tax on the difference between $75 and the sale price, at a maximum rate of 15% (at least for 2011 and 2012), no matter how long you’ve held the stock. This is advantageous for you; typically, if you sell an appreciated stock that you’ve held

less than a year, you’d have to pay capital gains taxes at your normal income tax rate. If you inherit stocks as part of a traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA), you’ll probably have to pay taxes on withdrawals at your income tax rate. However, you may be able to spread withdrawals over your lifetime, which could result in more tax-deferred growth and a greater income stream. And if you inherit a Roth IRA, you won’t have to pay income taxes on any withdrawals, provided the Roth IRA account has been open for at least five years. If you need help in determining what to do with inherited stocks, consult with your financial advisor and tax professional. After all, you are acquiring an important asset — and you want to make this asset work for you.

Continued from page A4 and anxious about what lay in store, we got on a plane taking us to a new adventure and a strange place. General Patraeus’ “Surge” had just begun and we were about to meet a lot of folks who either feared or hated us. Our great job would be to turn that into respect and even friendship where it was possible. Next week we’ll begin with our arrival in Kuwait and then on to Camp Bucca, Iraq. I’d like to end this Part 1 with a reminder to all who read these words to take time Monday to remember those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in the service of America and our Constitution. I was one of many fortunate ones who came home whole in body and a life still to live with those I love and cherish. God Bless those and their families not so fortunate. Lest we forget, remember this Memorial Day!

Major Harold Winford Mills, 91, of Covington, died May 20, 2011. He was born March 2, 1920 on a farm in the Holly Grove Community of Tipton County.

Adrian Venoy Mills, U.S. Army in 1944 who was killed in action during World War II and is buried in Normandy, France, and Claude Manuel Mills in 1992. He was a 1938 graduate of Brighton High School. Harold loved nature and enjoyed gardening, camping, hunting, and fishing. Major Mills was a veteran of World War II and the Korean War retiring after 30 years of active military service in 1969. He successfully worked his way up from the enlisted ranks in both the U.S. Navy (19391946) and U.S. Air Force (1947-1969). He served on the Destroyer USS Sterett (DD-407) in the Pacific Theater. In March 1944, Major Mills received a direct commission as an Ensign and rose to the rank of Lt. Junior Grade by the end of the war. In 1946, he left active naval service and returned home to operate the Holly Grove Store with his father and brother, Manuel. In 1947, he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force in Memphis, and was recalled to active duty in 1951 from the Air Force Reserve as a Captain for the Korean War. In October 1958, he was selected for a remote assignment with his family to be the Detachment Commander for the Air Force Special Applications Center (AFTAC) unit in Puerto Montt, Republic of Chile, South America.

In May 1960, there occurred one of the strongest ever recorded earthquakes in Southern Chile, 8.6. The Mills family declined evacuation and remained to work in relief operations to assist their city and neighbors. In recognition for his service, Major Mills received the Chilean Air Force Military Star Medal of Merit. After a four year tour in Washington, DC, Major Mills returned to AFTAC in 1965 to command the unit in Panama and in 1966 returned to Chile as a liaison officer for AFTAC to the Chilean Air Force. In 1969, Major Mills retired and moved to Jackson, MS to help manage the gubernatorial campaign of then Lt. Govenor Charles Sullivan. He served as his administrative assistant until 1972 when Governor Sullivan was tragically killed in an airplane crash. In 1972, Major and Mrs. Mills returned to Holly Grove where the build their dream home. Major Mills was active in civic affairs and community service since returning to Covington including being a member of the Holly Grove Cumberland Prebyterian Church, Tipton County Election Commission, Tipton County Veterans Association, and Tipton County Tax Equalization Board.

When selecting the menu for First Friday Coffee, I like to try something different each month. Last month, we celebrated the Kentucky Derby with many classic Derby Day recipes. This month, we will be looking at some Italian brunch recipes that I have used before. Our menu will include Spinach and Pancetta Strata, Potatoes Alfredo with Roasted Red Peppers, Melon with Prosciutto and Balsamic Vinegar Mint Glaze, and Lemon Strawberry Tiramisu Bites. I am thinking about trying a Crostata but we’ll see. Sometimes I think about my mother and how much she would have enjoyed learning about all these new ingredients and recipes. I am just lucky that my friends at First Friday Coffee give me the opportunity to prepare and share these tasty treats. But as always—I’m the cook and I have the prerogative to change my mind at the last minute.

The Civil War in Tipton County 150 YEARS AGO: MAY 21, 1861

Editor’s note: The following is a historical piece commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, written and compiled by Tipton County Historian Russell B. Bailey. It is the third in the series that will be published in The Leader. By RUSSELL B. BAILEY Tipton County Historian War News from Sharon Post Office, Camp Clopton and Mason’s Depot A young farmer describeds the excitement in Tipton County in May 1861 in a letter to a relative in Virginia: Sharon, Tuesday, May 21, 1861

Dear Cousin: There is a great deal of excitement here. Military companies are organizing. War, War, War, is the topic of conversation. We have a company at Clopton C. (Camp) Ground consisting of 104 men. They will leave tomorrow at 2 o’clock for Jackson, Ten to await further orders from the Governor. One Company left Covington the other day for Germantown. I learn since, they have been ordered to Randolph. They are waiting for two companies of Indians there daily to enlist in the Southern Army… We took up a spy last Saturday at Clopton. He had been heard talking to negroes. We sent him to Randolph guarded by 18 well armed men, his name was Wimon? I rekon you know him. He lived in this neighborhood once and made fan mills. We sent

Jamestown DarSay Burton

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. Most of the Burtons in my family were on hand over the weekend in Atlanta, Ga. to congratulate our nephew, Coleman Burton, of Cordova, upon completing and earning top credits from Moorehouse College. Coleman is the son of Jeremiah and Cindy Burton, also of Cordova. Annette Burton, David Burton, and his family, Ministers Ronald and Pearl Andrews, and their families along

Burlison Eddie Kellum

Hello from Burlison, My last Burlison Article. Periodically, the city of Burlison has to replace street signs that come up missing. If you know where any of these missing signs are and would like to turn them in it would be most appreciated and you can just leave them in front of the community center with no questions asked. The Council must replace the signs when they go missing as it's a requirement of the 911 system in case of emergencies. Measures are being pursued to make the signs less prone to theft but in the end it’s you and me, the citizens of Burlison that pay for these signs and figure out a way to stop this problem. Sunday before last, a going away party was held for Cameron Kidd at Green Acres in Brighton. Cameron enlisted with the Air Force and shipped out Tuesday, May17th. I was told that Cameron had a lot of people to see him off on Tuesday. We would all like to wish Cameron the very best. He’s a fine young man and I’m sure will make and has

him to general Sneed at Randolph to dispose of; I think his body will be found floating on the breast of the Mississippi in 2 or 3 days. Now that is the way we dispose of them.” The company known as the “Southern Confederates” held a dinner on the grounds at Clopton Methodist Church May 21. Parents and friends of the soldiers attended. Miss Mollie Thompson, on behalf of the ladies of Tipton County, presented a flag to the soldiers. The flag cost $40 to make and was sewn by the ladies of the County. It was the “First National Flag of the Confederacy” known as the “Stars and Bars. ” (Note: this flag is on permanent display at the Tipton County Museum.) The next day, May 22d, the “Southern Confederates,” 104 volunteers, proceeded from Camp Clopton in wagons to Mason’s Depot. There, the soldiers boarded a train for Jackson where they were organized as Company C, of the 9th Tennessee Infantry Regiment. Later the regiment was ordered to Union City. When Captain David J. Wood’s Company C, 9th Tennessee Infantry left Clopton Methodist Campground on May 22, another military company arrived shortly thereafter. Charles H. Hill of the Charleston-Tabernacle area was the main orga-

nizer and benefactor of company of volunteers that elected him Captain of “Hill’s Cavalry.” The troop was organized at Mason’s Depot May 31, 1861. Fayette, Haywood and Tipton Counties furnished men for this company. The unit went into camp of instruction at “Camp Clopton.” There were 88 men listed on the first muster roll but eventually 133 names would be enrolled. Richardson’s Landing, Fort Wright, Randolph Colonel Rufus P. Neely’s 4th Tennessee Infantry, nearly 1,000 men, arrived at Fort Wright on May 20. The “Tipton Rifles” from Covington is Company I. On May 22, Camp Carlton was established at Richardson’s Landing, Tipton County, about two miles south of Fort Wright, Randolph. Major J. J. Gaines commanding “Bragg’s Arkansas battery of the Helena Artillery and the Yell Rifles from that state were accompanied by Matthew Galloway and Frank M. Gailor, owner and editor of the Memphis Avalanche newspaper. The post is named in honor of 25 year old Captain Charles Carlton, commander of the Jefferson Guards, Arkansas forces. These troops arrived on the steamer Mars. Brigadier General Benjamin Frank

Cheatham of Tennessee’s Provisional Army, appointed May 9, 1861, was stationed at Randolph “assisting General John L. T. Sneed,” as early as May 23. On that date, General Gideon Pillow ordered Cheatham to proceed to Union City and take command of the Tennessee forces there. General Cheatham was at Union City by May 28. On the evening of May 25, the “Memphis Light Dragoons” commanded by Captain Thomas H. Logwood, 89 soldiers, arrived at Randolph. This was probably the first mounted troop to arrive at the Post. Logwood’s cavalry would become Company A, 7th Tennessee Cavalry Regiment. This unit was mustered into Tennessee State service May 16, 1861. The 1st Arkansas Infantry Regiment commanded by Colonel Patrick Cleburne arrived at Camp Carlton, Richardson’s Landing, Tipton County, May 28, 1861. General Thomas H. Bradley was also there. One of Colonel Cleburne’s company captains was James T. Harris, brother of Tennessee Governor Isham G. Harris. The next day Cleburne’s Arkansas Regiment was ordered by General Sneed to establish a new camp a mile or two north of Randolph. On May 30, Captain

with Coleman’s parents and grandparents, Charles and Gretie Coleman, of Memphis, and seven other family members were on hand for Coleman along with his family in Atlanta, Marie Powell, Gramm Bell and his cousins from in and around Atlanta. Congratulations to you, Coleman! President Mary Burton met on Tuesday, with teacher, Millie Mae Burton, for another wonderful missionary meeting at LaRue Albritton’s home 5 p.m. Maxine Carpenter ’s lovely home in Jamestown was the setting on Saturday afternoon for the Donation’s Club’s May meeting, special guest afterwards was Irene Harvey also of Jamestown who recently moved back home.

made all his family very proud. Over 2 1/2 years ago I picked up my pen and started writing the Burlison Article. It’s been an adventure that I’ve enjoyed and I hope you have too. I’ve tried to write about things of interest to you as well as myself. There were stories about our city’s beginnings and our founding fathers. I wrote about Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett, the worst maritime disaster in the history of the U.S. Navy, Jessie James, the Pony Express and how all of this fit into our heritage in Burlison and Tipton County. There were also articles of men from our community that served in wars and how they helped to shape our community with their courage. I’ve wrote about panthers being seen in our city and sharks in the Mississippi River. I’ve wrote about things I’ve done, places I’ve been and sights I’ve seen. You followed my sadness when we got the news about my Mom’s cancer and the joy when we were told that it had been successfully removed. You shared in my delight as my family grew to include a grandson, a son-in-law and now another grandchild on

the way. I would especially like to thank my wonderful wife Paula who spent so many hours editing these articles for me, doing research, helping come up with ideas to write about, emailing for me and always helping to spell words. Without you Paula, this weekly column would have never been possible. Thank you also to my children, Shanna, Alex, Adam, Alan, Kelly & Aiden and all my family members and friends including Maddie Overall who never knew if the next conversation with me would be included in the Burlison article or not. You’ve all been great and always understanding and supportive. I have asked others to take over this weekly column but so far there have been no takers. I do hope that the Burlison news article will continue. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your life every week and I hope that you have enjoyed it as much as I have. It seems as if my everyday life has become much busier lately. This is in part due to a new position at work and the responsibilities and also because I was re-elected to the city council here in our

city. Let me say one more time that I thank you for reading. I hope to see you around the Burlison area. Eddie Kellum

Thursday, May 26, 2011 â&#x20AC;˘ THE LEADER â&#x20AC;˘ A11

Hello everyone! Hope you are enjoying this weather as much as we are! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so neat to see everyone out and about and walking around the grounds! The most beautiful thing that I have experienced lately is the beauty of our new zero turn Snapper Lawnmower! That thing is so nice! Alanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s having a ball on it, you can tell, because every time I see him driving it, he has a huge smile on his face! Thank You Lord for blessing us so abundantly! When God blesses, He blesses, Amen? (As Paul Criss would say in his sermons)!!! God doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make junk, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been told! And so far, He has proven over and over for that statement to

be true! Today as you get your Leader, Ms. Betty Lovett will have a birthday. Happy Birthday Ms. Betty!! If you know Ms. Betty, give her a call and wish her a happy birthday! Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been going through a lot here lately and she needs the encouragement! As many of you may already know, Ms. Bettyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband, Mr. Jimmy Lovett, has stage four cancer! But Mr. Jimmy is nowhere near givinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in to this! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never in my whole entire life seen anybody as funny and sweet as Mr. Jimmy Lovett is!! His sense of humor is insurmountable. Why, all he went down there to that hospital for was to add some more girlfriends to his already existing long list, right Mr. Jimmy??? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be the first to tell you, he loves everybody!! We love you to Mr. Jimmy and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re prayinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for you!!! I know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never give up! Mayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gona be end-

ing here pretty soon so I guess Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d better tell you the June Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;days! We have Ms. Shirley Lusby on the 12th. Happy Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;day Ms. Shirley, hope your day is gona be a great one! Then we have one of my staff members, Tina Solley on the 25th. And a big happy bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;day to you as well Tina!! That girl can cook some good dressing now, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m tellinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; you! Once again, just in case you missed it, I would like to say a great big â&#x20AC;&#x153;thank youâ&#x20AC;? to everyone that can over to support our â&#x20AC;&#x153;Springfestâ&#x20AC;?. It was a wonderful day, could have been a little warmer, but hey, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not complainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;! God had everybody He wanted to have here that day, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m convinced of that!!! Ms. Patsy Fee made at least 350 of her â&#x20AC;&#x153;famous fried piesâ&#x20AC;? and they were all eaten but three or four, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m convinced if there were people that knew we had those three or four left over, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be gone!!! Those of us

on the board didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any trouble getting â&#x20AC;&#x153;ridâ&#x20AC;? of those few little pies!! Speaking of Ms. Patsyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fried pies, she will be at the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Atoka Celebrateâ&#x20AC;? on June 25th cookinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; up some more of those delicious pies, so if you missed it here at our Springfest, you can still get in on the pie eatinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; contest (Ha!) if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re planning on being at that, you better look her up! Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be hopefully, close to my Dunlap booth, selling her pies, and again, all proceeds will go to Dunlap Retirement Center! All my little folks here at Dunlap are blessed and we would be even more blessed if you would just quit cuttinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that yard and cookinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; those meals for yourself and come on out here and let us do all that for you! Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to! We have rooms available just for you! Until next week, give someone a hug this week, take care and God bless!

Sitting here with strains of "Pomp and Circumstances" still in my head from Covington High School's graduation last night. In the gym, thanks to a storm that came through about 5:15 p.m. But we did get better pictures that way! Hard to believe grandson Cameron Dickey is out of high school and ready for college in Searcy, Arkansas. I am so proud of him and all the other our graduates at church, John Evans IV, Ellie Wall and twins Shanna and Rachel McLean. Much good luck in the future, grads! After the ceremonies we all headed to Millington for a party. Shelley's sister, Teresa Muniz and her grandson, Dalton, were here from Florida. Two childhood friends of Shelley's, Laura and Cathy, joined us, along with Linda Kimbrough, Cameron's grandmother on that side. Girlfriend Rachel Nance and her mother, LaDonna, finished out of the tableful of happy people and we had a big time. As the

This week's Farm Report: It's wet. We got another 3+ inches of rain Sunday night and yesterday morning. Then more at 5 yesterday, haven't looked at the gauge yet, but any little bit we get runs off and puddles, that ground is so saturated. And more tomorrow night. We plant a couple of days, stay out a week! Corn is up and looking great and I hope cotton and beans we planted last week are all right. We had some cotton come up in four days in the bottom! What a spring! Floods, tornadoes, tsunamies, earthquakes, too hot one day, too cold the next. I didn't believe the billboards predicting the end of the world last Saturday because the Bible claims otherwise, but the weather surely has changed. Our television died last week and we've been living on one television! Oh, no!!! I was talking to Clint about where to get a new one, plus I would have to get rid of our entertainment center because a new plasma

won't fit in it, and he remembers his old set is on our front porch from when he moved! Been there the whole time! He brought it in, plugged it up and there we are - a two-television family again! It's smaller but will do! Many women enjoyed Meghan Laxton's bridal shower on Sunday at church. She and Michael Nolan will be married June 4. Best of luck to them! Morgan Hampton and Hunter Anderson were married at our church last Saturday, and Neil Bringle and Ashley Amsden's wedding will be there this Saturday, then Meghan and Michael's. So much happiness! Catherine McCalla has been back in the hospital but is back home, feeling well. A visit and serenade from David Karney on Saturday helped with that! Jenni Langston, Larry Whaley II, Kenneth Mason, Geni Renfroe, Linda Gordon, Bob Yoakum and Virginia Baxter continue on our prayers, as well as so many others in the community and county, along

Atoka 2011 Centennial Celebration The town of Atoka, Tennessee, is celebrating their 100 year anniversary on June 24th, 2011. The arrival of the Paducah Memphis Railroad in 1873 was the beginning of the commercial development around Atoka. Portersville was a thriving community until the railroad was established in Atoka. During this time many of the businesses and churches began to move to Atoka. The town was first chartered in 1875 but through much political maneuvering the charter was dissolved in 1883. Once state laws were changed in the early 1900’s the town sought to be chartered again and achieved this goal June 24th, 1911. Now, one hundred years later, Atoka is

continuing to grow and prosper. June 24, 25, and 26 Atoka will commemorate the last 100 years with a “Centennial Celebration” to honor the past, celebrate the present, and embrace the future. Atoka, located in southern Tipton County, is welcoming everyone to this joyful occasion. The main celebration will be held at Nancy Lane Park, 118 Park Lane in Atoka, and the Arts in the Park will be held next door at Adkinson Park, 124 Main Street. Friday, June 24th events are from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and include recognizing the oldest and youngest Atoka citizen, a period dance and costume contest, and cake and punch. Saturday, June 25th

events are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and include model train displays, music from the 1900’s to present, children’s activities and games from the period, pie eating contests, checkers contests, kickball and horseshoe tournaments, a car show, and Arts in the Park. Arts in the Park will take place next door at Adkinson Park and includes fine art of all mediums available for sale by talented local artists. The United States Navy band will be playing from 12:45 to 2 p.m. at Nancy Lane Park. Sunday, June 26th events are from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and include dinner on the grounds, music, praise and worship, and fireworks. Several pastors from various Atoka churches will be present

to lead the praise and worship. The local boy scouts will perform the flag ceremony, with fireworks to follow. Adkinson Park is named after Joseph B. Adkinson, a 1919 Medal of Honor recipient for his service to his country in World War I. He was born in Egypt, Tennessee, and later became a resident of Atoka. He is one of six soldiers from Tennessee to receive that medal of service during the first world war. He is buried at Salem Associated Reformed Presbyterian Church in Atoka. A memorial will be built at Adkinson Park to honor this brave citizen. Citizens may purchase an engraved brick

as part of this memorial. Nancy Lane Park is named after Nancy Lane, who was a member of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen from June 1, 1993 until December 2, 2000. She was a dedicated community volunteer and was well loved by many people. She passed away at an early age while still serving in Atoka. There will be plenty of food vendors there, so be sure to come hungry! A Centennial cookbook will be for sale at the celebration. Bricks for the upcoming Adkinson Park memorial will also be for sale as well as Atoka license plates. Come “Be a Part of History” and find out why Atoka is

known as “A Great Place to Call Home”. Vendor spaces and art vendor spaces are still available as are application forms for other events, including kickball and horseshoe registration. Booth contracts and entry forms can be downloaded on the town of Atoka’s website at www.townofatoka. com/atoka/id35.html. For information on the car show or other general vendors, contact Bob McFarland at 901837-2921. For questions about Arts in the Park, contact Barrie Foster at 901-837-6877.

The Ruffin continues with ‘Busybody’ From June 2-5, the Historic Ruffin Theater and Ward Williams, PLLC Attorneys at Law invite one and all to its location on the Covington Court Square to work out a classic “who dunnit” tale of enormous comedic proportions. Directed by Kay Bridgewater and Lorraine Birchfield, “Busybody” follows the impatient and tactless detective superintendent Harry Baxter, played by Ruffin veteran Sam Willcut, as he investigates a murder. Plagued by a head cold, Willcut’s character is notified by the office cleaner, Mrs. Piper, played by Marsha Daniel, of a startling discovery: a disappearing corpse. Trying to glean facts from the chatty Mrs. Piper takes all of Baxter’s

patience especially when the characters’ heads spin as the suspected corpse makes its appearance during Baxter’s investigation of the entirely suspect office staff. Persuaded by Mrs. Piper, Baxter continues on with detective work leaving everybody’s head in their hands by the end of the play. “I am excited to work and help with new directors such as Kay Bridgewater, who has

been a great asset to the Ruffin as well as to many other theaters as a wonderful actress,” said Birchfield. “The Ruffin has a special place in my heart.” The Ruffin is showing the play on June 2-4 at 7 p.m. and on June 5 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students. For more information, contact the Ruffin at 476-4700 or visit www. ruffintheater.org.

Lady Cougars advance, Lady Cards fall By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com

Record soccer season ends By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com A season that saw the CHS boy’s soccer team set a record for wins in a season, 11, and advance further in tournament play than ever in program history, the District 14 A-AA semi-finals, came to a close at the hands of the powerful Dyersburg Trojans (171-2) in a 3-1 loss last Thursday in Martin. Trailing 1-0 at the half, the Chargers tied the score early in the 2nd period on a goal by Mardrecus Dyson. It would not be enough however as the

Trojans took a 2-1 lead with a goal with 20 minutes remaining. Dyersburg added an insurance goal late in the game. Defense was the order of the day on both sides. The Trojans just got the better of it shutting down the Charger’s prolific scoring duo of Philip and Bobby Van Cleve. Dyersburg will face Martin Westview tonight for the region crown. “Dyersburg is an outstanding team and deserving of the region championship,” said CHS head coach Robert Luttrell. “Our team

fought hard and gave it their best. I am proud of their effort in the tournament and all season long. "We made big strides in the program this year that will serve us well next year and in years to come.” Several Chargers were recognized for their efforts at the tournament. Phillip and Bobby Van Cleve and Skylar Davis were named to the All Region team. Mardrecus Dyson, Josh Watts, Jake Morris and Nate Thompson were selected to the District 14 A-AA All Tournament team.

Munford sophomore Maggie Johnson watched from the bench for five innings Monday night in Munford as her team played Arlington to a 3-3 tie in the Region 7-AAA semifinals. She got the call in the sixth inning and made the most of her opportunity. With a runner on second Johnson ripped a double to leftfield to drive in the game winner and keep her team’s season alive with a 4-3 win. “I was pretty nervous,” Johnson said, “but my team needed me so I was going to at least try.” Munford coach Glenn Goulder gave her a little piece of advice before she came to the plate. “Maggie’s a streak hitter,” said Goulder. “She’s got a lot of power. I just told her to keep her head down. She did it and got a big hit for us.” Munford (33-9) advanced to play at Bolton on Wednesday in the region title game. The winner of that game will host a sub-state game. The loser will have to travel to earn a berth in the state tournament. After Paige Barnes and Alex Stanford each came up with RBI-singles in the third inning, Munford led 3-1. But with two outs and a runner on in the top of the fifth, Arlington’s Alex Holt launched a homer to leftfield to tie the game. Munford tied the game in the bottom of the

frame on an RBI-double by Amanda Levin. Barnes (19-4) relieved starter Tara Comer in the sixth inning to earn the win. Thanks to two Munford errors, Arlington loaded the bases in the sixth inning before Barnes coaxed a fly ball from Kaitlyn Miller to escape the inning. In the fifth inning Arlington had runners on second and third when Munford shortstop Sami Jo Schulz made a running catch in shallow leftfield to save a pair of runs. In other action: *Munford swept a pair from Brighton Thursday in Newbern to claim the District 13-

AAA Tournament title. Shulz, Turner and Jodi Duncan each had two hits and Tara Comer struck out six and allowed seven hits to earn the win. In game two, Barnes struck out six and allowed six hits in a 7-2 Lady Cougar win. Ashley Hobson singled, doubled and drove in two and Duncan and Schulz each had two hits. C.J. Jacobs doubled twice for Brighton and scored both of her team’s runs. * Brighton lost at Bolton 9-6 on Monday in the region semifinals, ending their season. Jacobs was 4 for 4 with two solo homeruns and Laura Judy also homered. Amanda Chandler ’s three-run homer for Bolton was the difference.

IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU AND THE INTEREST

TRA girls advance to state By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com Ti p t o n - R o s e m a r k Academy softball coach Joe Layton said his team seemed a little nervous Tuesday night when they took the field for the opening round of the DII-A State Tournament in Murfreesboro. They calmed down quick enough, though, and got a no-hitter from Roxanna Kimes to defeat Davidson Academy 2-0 and move into the winners’ bracket final. “They settled in throughout the game,” Layton said. .”We left a

lot of people on base, but we finally figured out we could hit them.” In the top of the sixt with the game still scoreless, TRA got an RBIsingle from Julanne McCommon and another run on error. That ended up being enough for Kimes, who struck out five and allowed just one base runner when Savannah Peek reached on an error in the fourth. The Lady Rebels (187) will take on the USJ/ Fayette Academy winner Thursday at 10 a.m. Davidson Academy had beaten TRA two of

the past three years in the sub-state and won three straight state titles before last season. “This is a big win for us,” Layton said. “I don’t even know if excited is the right word for how the girls are feeling right now.” The TRA baseball team nearly made it to Murfreesboro as well. The Rebels split a pair of games (16-7 loss, 7-2 win) at home on Friday to Franklin Road Academy in the sub-state before losing the deciding game Saturday at FRA 9-6.

MHS falls in soccer regionals By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com Without a doubt, it was a breakthrough season for the Munford soccer team. But it came to an end Tuesday night at Arlington with a 2-0 loss to Bolton in the Region 7-AAA semifinals. Bolton scored in the opening moments of the game and added a second tally midway through the second half to prevail 2-0. “It means a lot,” said Munford coach Kyle Selby. “You come up here, let’s be honest, nobody gives us a chance … To make it to regionals with five sophomores

A13.indd 1

and 13 freshmen, that’s pretty good. These boys have a lot to be proud of. (They) can’t be satisfied, but they have a lot to be proud of.” Munford (4-10-2), which advanced to the regionals by defeating Brighton last week, held strong after Bolton’s early goal. Freshman goalkeeper Erick Furseth led a strong defense with 32 saves. “Erik was lights out back there,” Munford coach Kyle Selby said. “They took 34 shots and he saved 32 of them … We’ve known all year the first 10 minutes of the game have hurt us. I’ve pulled stunts where I’ve stacked the defense

the first 10 minutes so we can get in the flow of the game. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.” But in the end, Bolton senior Jacob Cook’s goal in the 57th minute proved to be too much to overcome. In the 63rd minute Munford’s Michael Ocampo threatened Bolton’s defense with a free kick from 25 yards out and Cody Perrigo made a run into the box moments later, but the Wildcat defense preserved the shutout. Munford, which has had a soccer program for just two years, advanced to the region tournament for the first time.

Visit Civil War trails, memorial in West Tenn.

IN MEMORY West Memphis, Arkansas Police Chief Bob Paudert watches as deputy Kellie Yarbrough places a rose in a wreath to honor one of

Editor’s note: This is the first in a 10-part series detailing historical sites, outdoor adventures and other family-friendly destinations no more than a day’s drive from Tipton County.

Tipton County's fallen officers Friday. Paudert's son, Sgt. Brandon Paudert, and Officer Bill Evans were killed in the line of duty on May 20, 2010.

School’s out for summer, which means two months of fun has only just begun. In years past, many families went on weeklong vacations to the beach or visited Disneyworld, but the current economic state has made this more difficult. The good news is family-friendly fun doesn’t have to break the bank. I’m not a fan of the term “staycation,” so I will refrain from using it as often as I can, but staying close to home is the general idea of the Day Trippin’ series. Our first destination? West Tennessee’s Civil War trails. This year marks the sesquicentennial – that is, 150th anniversary – of the start of the Civil War. Commonly called the War Between the States, battles began between Union (Northern) and Confederate (Southern) troops on April 12 and some were fought in our area. County historian Russ Bailey, as well as many other historians, genealogists and civic organizations, has worked to compile the history of the Civil War in our region. Bailey’s column, "150 Years Ago in Tipton County," has been running in the pages of The Leader for several weeks and just two weeks ago, an encampment took place at Randolph, the site of a Civil War era fortification called Ft. Wright. The encampment was just one of the hundreds of events that will take place in Tennessee over the course of the next five years as the state commemorates the war. This being Memorial Day weekend, there's no better time to explore some of the historical sites in West Tennessee and take place in ceremonies which honor the lives lost during the war that divided the United States:

On Friday, law enforcement officers from Tipton County who've died in the line of duty were honored during the fifth annual memorial ceremony at the Tipton County Justice Complex. Special guests this

Remembering fallen officers year included West Memphis Police Chief Bob Paudert, whose son Brandon and another officer were killed in the line of duty on May 20, 2010, and WMCTV News Director Tracey Rogers, who received an award

for the news station's collection of funds for fallen officers. The sheriff's office band performed as did county commissioner Quincy Barlow, Ronnie Twisdale and Stephen and Alex Schuetrumpf. Those honored

were Trooper Calvin Jenks (THP; End of watch: Jan. 6, 2007), Officer C. Lanny Bridges (CPD; End of watch, Aug. 14, 1997), Officer John W. Delashmit (CPD; End of watch: Nov. 4, 1991), Deputy Ricky Rose (TCSO; End

of watch: Nov. 29, 1988), Deputy Mike Erwin (TCSO; End of watch: Oct. 31, 1975), Deputy Chester A. Doyle (TCSO; End of watch: July 18, 1937) and Deputy Charles M. Webb (TCSO; End of watch: Oct. 17, 1907).

An annual tradition, the Simonton – Wilcox Camp No. 257 Sons of Confederate Veterans will honor the 217 Confederate and nine Union soldiers buried at R.H. Munford Cemetery in Covington at 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 29. A patriotic, historical and memorial association of descendents of Confederate soldiers established in 1901, the ceremony and decoration of gravesites is open to the public. For more information contact Russell Bailey 476-3744. REMEMBERING THE DEAD

West Tennessee is also home to the sites of several battles during the war. Visit Ft. Pillow State Historic Park in nearby Henning, a Civil War fortification built by the Confederate Army and controlled by the Union Army for most of the war due to its strategic location on the Chickasaw Bluffs, overlooking the Mississippi River. The park includes a museum/interpretation center, hiking trails, a fishing lake and camping. For more information, see http://www. stateparks.com/fort_pillow.html. BATTLEFIELDS

Hi my name is Roscoe. I am a 2 year old small blue heeler mix who recently lost my home. I used to have a family of my own, but then we got those heavy rains and tornadoes a couple of weeks ago... Our home was flooded and my owners couldn’t find new shelter that would let them bring pets along. I have very good manners, I can do a few tricks and I love to play ball. I enjoy being around people of all ages and I get along with other dogs and cats. I am in need of Paris a new family -- someone who will take me on walks, play ball with me, and let me sit by their feet while they relax... I am already housetrained, in good health, neutered, and up-to-date on my shots. Won’t you please bring me home with you today? Application and adoption fees apply.

When trouble comes a knocking, don't answer the door For as long as I can remember, I have always looked forward to Monday. Throughout the years there have been very few Mondays that I have missed, although there are some Mondays I miss. After a long weekend of labor, I enjoy the slow pace that Monday brings with it. I can sleep in as long as I want, do anything my little heart desires and just simply enjoy the day. It is the one day of the week when the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and Yours Truly can just take it easy and enjoy the day together. Sometimes we enjoyed the day together and sometimes we enjoy the day going our separate ways. Usually, my way goes by the bakery to sample a freshly baked Apple Fritter. As an Apple Fritter connoisseur, I need to constantly study and keep up-to-date on the world of Apple Fritters. Since this is not on my wife's diet, I save her the awkwardness and only go there when I am by myself. It is not that I am trying to hide it; I am just thinking of her. Lately, something has been messing with my Mondays. In fact, it is becoming a little bit to the point that I am about to mark Mondays off my calendar. Then see what Monday will think of that. It began several weeks ago. It was a Monday afternoon and I needed to visit someone in the hospital. Usually I do not do this sort of thing on a Monday, but sometimes you have to do what you do not normally do. I went to the parking place and discovered there was only one parking slot, which was just as I went in through the gate. It was a tight squeeze, but I finally got my truck parked. Everything seemed in good order. After making my hospital visit, I returned to my truck to leave. I knew I was in a tight spot but, after

all, I have been driving since Henry Ford said, "Let's take this buggy for a spin." With the care that years of experience have afforded me, I backed out of my parking space and just as I did, I heard something crack. I pulled forward and much to my chagrin, I had backed into the gate and broke it in half. I parked my truck and went into the hospital to turn myself in to the hospital guards. They came out, looked at the damage and discovered I had broken the gait in two. After two hours of filling out paperwork, taking photos and generally standing around admiring the damage, I was free to go home. It was late Monday afternoon and I was ready to call it a day. Oh, what a day it was. It took me almost a week to recover from that. On the following Monday I got up as usual to enjoy the pleasantry of the day. It was late in the afternoon and I was at a small strip mall to do a little shopping. I went in to a West Indian store to buy an ice-cold soda. It was one of those hot days begging for a cool drink. I got my soda out of the refrigerator and went to the counter to pay for it. I greeted the young woman behind the counter, we exchanged a few pleasantries and then I crossed the line. I do not often cross the line, but for some reason I did. I asked her how her day was going. I should note that this is an absolute no-no, especially on Monday. "Oh," she said with a cheerful bounce, "this has been a wonderful day. Nothing has gone wrong today and I'm most grateful for that." I should not have done it, but I did it without thinking. I smiled at her and said, "I sure am glad for you." I then handed her a dollar to pay for my soda. She opened the door

to give me a quarter change and as she did, she pulled the entire money drawer out of the register and everything went all over the floor. All I could say was "keep the change." I could have waited around for her to collect the money and put it all back into the register drawer but then, what more damage would I cause in that store in the meantime? The best part of valor at that point was to vamoose. And, vamoose I did, valiantly. How well I remember the time when I looked forward to those carefree Mondays. Now, I go to bed Sunday night with a certain level of apprehension for what the next day will bring forth. My Mondays are not quite as carefree and peaceful as they used to be. I remember what my father used to tell me. "Son, when trouble comes a knocking, don't answer the door." At the time, I had no idea what he was talking about, but now, after several Mondays of what some might call misfortune, I am beginning to understand what he meant. I have something new to look forward to, "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God" (Hebrews 12:2 KJV). No apprehension here at all. The Rev. James L. Snyder is pastor of the Family of God Fellowship, 1471 Pine Road, Ocala, FL 34472. He lives with his wife, Martha, in Silver Springs Shores.
