ith a 7-5 win over the University School of Jackson, the Tipton-Rosemark Lady Rebels earned the school’s first state title Friday, winning the Division II-A state softball tournament.

“We did some digging and couldn’t find any other teams that won it all,”

said head softball coach Joe Layton.

First defeating Davidson Academy, the 2009 state champs, with a no-hitter

by Roxanna Kimes, the Lady Rebels went on to defeat defending state champs USJ, 3-1.

After USJ knocked Davidson out of the tournament altogether, TRA won with a come-from-behind 7-5 win over USJ. That victory earned them the title of

state champions.

On Saturday, the Lady Rebels caravan returned to Rosemark with a police escort and plenty of fans.

“It was pretty special,” Layton said.

With the help of one of its canine officers, the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office apprehended a Mason man charged with sexually abusing a 5-year-old.

Authorities say an 11-year-old claims to have witnessed the alleged fondling of the younger child at Chris Aaron Billings’ residence on Yarbro Lane.

“The 11-year-old went and got the 5-year-old’s mother and that’s who called us,” said Deputy Chief Donna Turner, spokesperson for the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office.

Rusted pipe causes building collapse

By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com The athletic department slid into some problems last week at Munford High School due to a bursting pipe and water damage by the football field.

The concession stand on the visitor side of the football field fell 16 feet into a sink hole as well as the surrounding area adjacent to the running track.

Danny Wallace, Tipton County Board of Education maintenance director, said that the problem resulted from a rusting corrugated metal pipe that burst and shot water through the soil upward.

“All that rain we’ve had has been draining from the upper parking lot

and concession stand down the hill and under the football field,” Wallace said. “After 30 years of draining water, the pipe finally rusted and gave in and the water had no where else to go but up. The soil naturally just gave way and the building fell in.”

On Wednesday, a new pipe was reported to have been delivered. This pipe is different from its predecessor, being composed of a high-density, polyethylene, or HDPE, pipe.

“This new HDPE pipe will take care of this type of situation in the future,” he said.

This fact is especially important due to the extensive runoff of rainwater down the grade from the school, parking lot and home side bleachers.

The replacement building will show-

case bathrooms so that visitors won’t have to trudge around the field and up the bleachers to the home side.

Accommodations will also be made to the building making it handicapaccessible from the lower parking lot.

The real question is will the problems be resolved by the 2011 football season.

“I’m looking to have the pipe rebuilt within 2-3 weeks,” said Wallace. “We ran into some bad soil so an engineer is coming in [yesterday morning] to provide suggestions on stabilizing the ground. Hopefully, we will have plans drawn up and will have started on the building after a month,” “We’re lucky it happened now. If it happened during football season, we’d be in a mess.”

Mason police need help from the public in locating firearms stolen during several recent burglaries, said chief James Paris.

On Friday, the department, with the help of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team, conducted an undercover investigation to purchase nearly 22 guns they believed to be stolen.

However, the buy didn’t turn out as they’d planned it.

“They did not have any weapons, they robbed the undercover officer and were quickly apprehended for the robbery,” Paris said.

Aresidential burglary on Mother’s Day resulted in up to 10 guns out on the street and in the hands of criminals. Later that week, there were two more burglaries within the small town’s limits. Paris said a 13-year-old was arrested in connection with the latter two crimes.

Camp encourages youth to go after dreams

By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com “I wasn’t sure that it would end up quite this big,” said Covington High School assistant football coach Jon Poe, when asked about his upcoming football camp he’s co-organizing.

“There will be pro football and college athletes there to work with the kids.”

At $1 per child, it’s hard to beat.

On June 11, Jon Poe’s inaugural youth football camp, “Run at Your Dreams,” will be held at Frazier Park in Covington for anybody interested in football or in learning how to reach your goals.

Coach Poe said that the idea started with him just wanting to give back to the community that helped him out so much through helping younger people achieve their goals in a football oriented atmosphere.

Having worked with Greg Hardy in Millington, Poe knew he could organize a football camp himself. Poe asked his best friend he played with at University of Tennessee, many of whom have gone pro since then.

Because of the NFL lockout, most agreed to help.

“This is bigger than just me definitely,” said Poe humbly. “This is a big effort. From coaches and players helping out

Run at Your Dreams football camp When: June 11, 8 a.m.

Place: Frazier Park Cost: $1 per child Who: Students in grades 5-12 Featuring: Jon Poe, Johnny Jones, Justin Harrell, Dan Williams, Chris Scott, Tony Brown, Darron White, Victor Thomas, Antonio Gaines, Michael Grandberry, Ruben Map, David Yancey, Marcus Matthew, Gerrod Parrish, Chester Ford

to the community here in Covington, everybody is coming together for these children.”

The theme of the day will be “run at your dreams.” The camp will teach children to reach one goal at a time and with enough persistence, it’s possible. Poe is living example.

“If you have anything to strive after for any dream, pursue it,” said Poe solemnly. “I never thought I’d be given the chance to do what I’ve done.”

Poe played for a top SEC college, University of Tennessee, as linebacker.

However, his post-highschool football career began with a serious knee injury during his senior year that threatened his chance to play at that level. In junior college ball at Coffeyville Community College, Poe was faced not only with intense competition, but he also had to work hard

to come back and overcome his debilitating knee injury.

The experience serves as the inspiration for a publication in the works called Running When I Couldn’t Walk.

At 8 a.m. on June 11, the camp starts with the mission statement which involves bringing the youth together to help conquer goals. Right after that, the group hits the field to start warming up. Position-specific training starts at 9 a.m.

From 10:30-11 a.m., lunch is provided. Life skills mentoring takes place from 11 a.m.-noon.

Individual competition is at noon. There’s an autograph session from 1:30-2 p.m. After that, the group will take a picture together and then the meet and greet will take place.

Players and coaches helping out are top five all-time rusher and former University of Tennessee running back, Johnny Jones, Green Bay Packer Justin Harrell, Arizona Cardinal Dan Williams, Pittsburgh Steeler Chris Scott, former Seattle Seahawk and Buffalo Bill Tony Brown, Darron White, former University of Memphis and CHS player, Victor Thomas, free agent looking to go pro, CHS coach and former University of Tennessee and CHS player Antonio Gaines, former CHS player Michael

Grandberry, Ruben Map, Grambling University, David Yancey, nuclear engineer and former UT running back, Marcus Matthew, author, Gerrod Parrish, former UT player seeking a doctorate degree, Bolton High School coach and former UT player Chester Ford and a host of other potential coaches and players.

Poe encourages those who never have played football before as well because he says it’s not all about football. It’s about goals and dreams.

He hopes it will grow and be an annual event and knows it will be something positive to see them through the summer.

“I want to teach the youth what I learned and help them be better young men for their community,” he said.

“You can’t let your fears limit your spirit. Keep on pushing to new heights.”

For all 5-12 graders who want to sign up, please visit jonpoe.com or call 901-356-9398.

Participants are instructed to bring cleats, shorts and shirts. Cheerleaders in 3-5 grades can get a free lesson from Deanna Poe.

Disputes lead to shooting, stabbing

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com A Munford man remains in satisfactory condition after being shot by his wife during a domestic dispute on Memorial Day. Authorities say Frederick Patrick of Joe Joyner Road is recovering at the Regional Medical Center (MED) in Memphis after his wife, Christine, shot him with a small caliber pistol Monday.

“Preliminary statements show there was an argument in progress,” said Deputy Chief Donna Turner, spokesperson for the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office.

Reports indicate Christine Patrick shot her husband in the stomach during the argument.

Turner said the couple’s 5-year-old was in the home during the argument, but went to a neighbor’s house.

The shooting is still under investigation. No charges had been filed in the case at press time, Turner said.

Ex-husband stabbed After showing up at his ex-wife’s Miller Drive home, Antonio Jones was

stabbed by his former wife’s friend Monday night.

“Deputies were called when the victim showed up at Westside Grocery,” Turner said.

Jones told deputies he was stabbed with a knife following a domestic dispute between he, ex-wife Patsy Johnson and her friend, Chris Maclin.

Johnson said Jones no longer lived at the residence.

He was transported

to Baptist Memorial Hospital-Tipton, then to the Regional Medical Center (MED), due to a collapsed lung.

Jones is listed in stable condition.

Turner said the stabbing was still under investigation at press time. Charges have not yet been filed.

COMMUNITY

Covington to consider assistance program Community Calendar

By SHERRI ONORATI Special to The Leader The City of Covington has been presented with a utilities assistance program proposal by the director of the Bread for Life Ministries, Grace Phelps.

Phelps, a deacon at First United Methodist Church in Covington, believes her “round-up� emergency utilities assistance program will help residents within the city limits of Covington who struggle to pay their utility bills.

The program provides utility customers an easy and unique way to contribute small change each month that will make a big difference when pooled together. “The average citizen I think has no concept of how much need is truly in our community,� said Phelps. “I didn’t until I started working with the programs we offer. We were astounded at the amount of families coming in for assistance and so grateful that we had the means to help.�

The concept, although new to the city, is not a new idea. For more than 20 years, Operation Round Up has been offered by hundreds of utility companies across America.

The program provides emergency energy assistance funds to families and individuals in need of help.

The monies are raised by “rounding up� each utility customer’s bill to the nearest dollar. “The amount that a Covington Gas, Water and Sewer customer will pay would vary each month between one penny to ninety-nine cents at the most,� explained City Recorder-Treasurer Jere Hadley. “It will take time to build up but

the money will be used to help Covington citizens.�

In her written proposal to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen, Phelps explained that the neighboring cities of Jackson and Brownsville each have implemented a similar program with favorable results. “In each of those cities, the utility companies allow those funds to be administered by a local faithbased organization whose focus is helping the poor in their community,� said Phelps. “Volunteers at the organizations receive training to serve as interviewers.�

Phelps’ proposal states that each person who applies for emergency utility assistance is personally screened to evaluate whether they qualify for assistance. Minimum criteria will consist of: ‍ڰ‏Must be an emergency need such as job loss, illness or injury which impacts income, loss of home due to fire or natural disaster, unable to work due to age and/or disability and on social security benefits ‍ڰ‏Continuation of utilities must be reasonably sustainable past current emergency situation ‍ڰ‏Applicants must submit documentation of all sources of income available and current bills The money raised each month will be set aside to assist needy utility consumers within the city when their available resources are not enough to cover their current monthly bill. Covington utility customers not wishing to provide assistance to the less fortunate will have the option to “opt outâ€? of the program. “All customers are automatical-

ly enrolled in the round-up program,� added Phelps. “Customers do have the option not to participate in the program but they must make their wishes known to the utility company. All it takes is a phone call. The cities of Jackson and Brownsville found that it was simpler to set up the program that way and they have had a higher level of participation than voluntary programs elsewhere.�

In it’s first year of operation in 2010, the Bread of Life Ministry, an outreach ministry of First United Methodist Church, provided 985 Tipton County families with more than 93 tons of food through its food pantry program.

More than $24,757 was made available to 233 needy Tipton County families, including just under $14,000 for utility assistance alone. “In the past year, we have found there is a great need for assistance in Tipton County,� said Phelps. “This is one way we can help those in need within the city of Covington. It is such a simple concept that doesn’t put a burden on anyone but it makes a huge impact. The most someone will give in a year is less than $12.�

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen unanimously voted to accept Phelps’ proposal for further study. “I think it’s a great opportunity to help the citizens of Covington but there are several questions which need to be answered first,� said Hadley. “It won’t be implemented until the city has researched the program further for those answers.�

www.covingtonleader.com

From Bucca with love, part 2 Training is complete, we’ve left home, families and country behind, and we are now on our way to Iraq, via Kuwait. We arrived in Kuwait in late April 2007 and were bused to Camp Buering where we were to wait for a chopper ride to Camp Bucca, Iraq. We were dropped with our JIM HARDIN gear in front of an “air conditioned” open bay mega-tent that held over 100. I was put in charge of gathering bunk assignment information in the event we needed to locate someone fast.

We spent over a week in Kuwait mustering twice per day, eating three squares, walking an eternity to the showers, and riding to a range surrounded by camels where we could live fire our weapons one last time before entering Iraq. On the trip to and from the firing range we could see the destroyed tanks and vehicles of Saddam Hussein’s army when they invaded Kuwait in 1990 and were pushed out by American and other forces in 1991. For the most part, our time at Camp Buering was a restful respite following nearly 2 months of grueling training in Texas and New Mexico.

In early May, it was time to go and I was asked to form an advance party to join me in arriving a day or two ahead of the main party. I selected my Buddy Huck, a big farm boy from Iowa who was working for the Post Office in Wisconsin when he was recalled, to join me on the advance. Huck was two years older than me and became one of the “Old Geezers” of Charlie Company as did I. We became bunkmates friends for life.

We boarded a chopper at night that held our small advance party and flew into Iraq for the first time.

There were gunners at the port and starboard sides, and a tail gunner at the rear where the boarding door was left open and the gunner was kept from falling out by a single harness. I must admit that there was a tinge of anxiety concerning RPGs and other antiaircraft weapons, but within 45 minutes we were flying over Camp Bucca for our landing.

We landed and were greeted by the Naval Provisional Detainee Battalion-3 (NPDB-3) command Master Chief, a crusty old sub sailor who could be mean as a mongoose and was not the least bit worried about the “feelings” of his sailors. You got in line or paid a price. He and I would butt heads on a couple of occasions, and I suppose I was one of the few who did so without an official visit to the old man, the Commanding Officer. More on the Master Chief later.

It was late and we were tired. We were herded to a group of tents set up for transients waiting for more permanent quarters. These were air conditioned like the ones in Camp Buering, but in the heat of day AC meant keeping it under 95 degrees. We are now in Iraq, the “Surge” had been going on for a couple of months now, and on our first night we were greeted by rocket/mortar fire on the Camp, the first of about nine such attacks during our stay in Iraq. I was a long way from Tennessee and everything that I loved and cherished. It was time to put training in to action and do our duty. I was never so homesick. More next week…

It wasn’t hard to spot the dirty-mouthed loser If you ever stop and think about some of the games we played as youngsters, and the different ways we entertained ourselves it is unbelievable how money never entered the picture.

Why? Very, very simple, no one had any money.

The only time any of us got anything “new” was usually a birthday or when Santy Claus flew over with Rudy pulling a loaded down, beat up cotton wagon.

Does anyone remember when they played “mumble-peg?” Of course, the required equipment was a two-bladed knife and some used, discarded match sticks. Usually our knives were rusty, dull, chipped and really not much whittling value left in them. No way could we use brand new Diamond penny box matches. Naww Suhhh!

Wait until the philosophers had chunked them out in the gravel after lighting their pipes and John Ruskins. Just break off the burnt end and you had a good, clean matchstick. Sanitized, pasteurized, homogenized and all.

Now the loser had to get down, not use their hands, and dig the matchstick out of the dirt with his teeth. It would pay to have buck teeth for this endeavor, or possibly eating an ear of corn through a picket fence. But, it was hard not to get a mouthful of loam trying to extract the matchsticks with yo’ teeth. That was called-------an incentive to win!!

Friends, looking back, I guess it would was entertaining to see four or more little boys congregated under a big shade tree in the breathtaking heat. Wearing only cutoff shorts and barefooted, it never got too hot for a good mumble-peg classic. Imagine us fighting over “my spot” around the circle. “That’s mine.”

“Nope, you ‘wuz’ there last time.” “Play fair, my time now.” Of course, the philosophers sat on the front store porch and enjoyed the ploy, while we unknowingly entertained them.

Beloved, did you ever wonder how many kids now a days have ever heard of mumble-peg?

I’ll bet their Mommas and Daddies ain’t either.

All I remember is, we had a good old time and it didn’t cost a thing.

Just Flip, Win….or Dig….Down Deep….

GLORY!!!

Retirees must make (at least) five key financial decisions

By EDWARD JONES Special to The Leader When you’re working, you have a financial strategy that is largely based on one goal: saving money for a comfortable retirement. You’ll likely have to make many adjustments over several decades to ensure that you stay on track saving and investing. But once you retire, a new goal arises — investing so you can remain retired. To help yourself achieve this goal, you will need to make a number of investment decisions.

Which of these decisions are most important? Here are five to consider: How much will you spend each year? Before you can pursue an appropriate investment strategy, you’ll need to know about how much you’ll spend each year.

Estimate your costs for housing, food, travel, entertainment, insurance, gifts — everything.

Keep in mind that your expenses will likely change annually, especially for items such as

FINANCIAL FOCUS S TEVEN J. J ONES

health care. Don’t forget about inflation, which will likely cause your expenses to increase over the years.

How should you balance your investment portfolio to provide sufficient income and growth opportunities?

Clearly, you’ll need your investments to provide a source of income during your retirement years.

At the same time, you will need some growth potential to overcome the effects of inflation, which can erode your purchasing power. Consequently, you will need a mix of income- and growth-oriented investments, with the proportions depending on your risk tolerance and your lifestyle.

How much should you

withdraw each year from your investment portfolio? The answer depends on several factors, including your retirement lifestyle, the size and performance of your investment portfolio, inflation, your estimated life expectancy and the size of the estate you’d like to leave. This decision is important, because the amount you withdraw each year will directly affect how long your money lasts.

From which accounts should you begin taking withdrawals? You may have built three different types of accounts: taxable, tax-deferred and tax-free. It may be a good idea to take withdrawals from your taxable accounts first, thereby allowing your tax-deferred accounts, such as your Traditional IRA and your 401(k), more time to compound and potentially increase in value. If you have a tax-free account, such as a Roth IRA, save it for last to maximize the compounding on money on which you will never pay taxes. (Roth IRA earnings grow tax-free if

you’ve had your account at least five years and you don’t begin taking withdrawals until you’re at least 59-1/2.) That said, this is just a rule of thumb.

When should you take Social Security? You can begin taking Social Security as early as age 62, but your monthly checks will be considerably larger if you wait until your “normal” retirement age, which is likely 65 or 66. But if you need the money, you may be better off by taking Social Security at 62 and giving your taxdeferred accounts more time to potentially grow.

As you can see, you’ll need a lot of expertise to successfully manage your financial and investment situations during retirement. If you don’t already work with a financial advisor and a tax professional, now would be a good time to start. Once you’ve got your financial strategy in place, you’ll be better prepared to enjoy an active, fulfilling retirement.

The Civil War in Tipton County 150 YEARS AGO: MAY 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 Fort Wright-Randolph In late May 1861, a group of ladies from Memphis visited their loved ones at Fort Wright.

Mrs. Smith wrote of her visit: “They had been at Randolph but a short time, ere the ladies of our city visited their camp to examine the fortifications their husbands, fathers and sons were vigorously building at that point…Four weeks to me seemed a long time to be absent from my soldier boy.

I could endure it no longer.

I therefore resolved to visit Camp Randolph, and with a lot of starched collars and fine clothing (‘later on laid aside for the good old fashioned rebel suits of gray, which they wore with commendable pride’), I set out for camp, with other ladies with like purposes and aims…took passage on the steamer Ingomar, on which 1,500 soldiers had also embarked, for the notable little town of Randolph… we had a pleasant trip… arriving at daybreak the next morning, scaling the rugged hills adjacent thereto, our eyes caught a view of scenes to us then quite novel and interesting. All over the plains and along the slope of hills could be seen the white tents, with soldiers interspersed preparing their morning repast, or standing in groups before their tent doors. We strolled among them until we became tired, when we repaired to Mr. Denis’, where we were kindly received, and a warm and palatable breakfast was set before us…the day passed very pleasantly, the soldiers cordially greeting us and frequently inviting us to visit their respective quarters and partake of the bounties of their tables, which were spread with marked neatness and taste… …I repaired, with several other ladies, to the dress parade ground, and there witnessed, for the first time, soldiers on parade. It was a pleasing and interesting site to behold such a vast number of stalwart men all simultaneously obeying the commands of the officer, and going through the same maneuverings…the pleasant hours I spent with that

brave band of Southern soldiers, left a lasting impression upon my heart and mind…”

June 7: Telegraphic communication from Randolph to Memphis, was successfully completed. Between the hours of 1 and 3 p.m., the 13thTennessee Infantry Regiment, nearly 1,000 soldiers, arrived at Fort Wright on board the steamers Bracelet and Granite State en route for Randolph.

W. J. Rogers wrote of the trip from Memphis to Randolph: “When we got against Fort Harris cannons were fired at the Bracelet and she had to land and was examined. We passed the S. H. Tucker on her trip down and the Ohio Belle, also the Ingomar.

We passed several houses on the river and the girls cheered and waved their handkerchiefs at us. We got to Randolph about one o’clock and cleared off our ground to pitch our tents and got them up by night.”

On June 8, Tennesseans declared their State free and independent and ratified the legislature’s secession ordinance in a referendum. Voters approved this legislative action with 68% in favor.

Tipton County voters cast 99% of their ballots for secession or 943 in favor and only 16 against the Confederacy. The Southern volunteers stationed at Fort Wright and Randolph cast 3,500 votes for secession and not one against. W. J. Rogers wrote about this event and of receiving their guns: “Camp Randolph.

We went to town at 12 o’clock and voted States Rights tickets, separation, representation. We received our arms, the United States musket with bayonet.”

Captain Cadmus Wilcox Cadmus Marcellus Wilcox (1825-1890), son of Reuben and Sarah Garland Wilcox, of Tipton County, left Covington in 1842 after receiving an appointment to the U. S. Military Academy, West Point. Following graduation in 1846 and service in the Mexican War, Lieutenant Wilcox served in the Seminole Indian War and later as Instructor of infantry tactics under Superintendent Robert E. Lee at West Point from 1852-57. After writing and publishing two military manuals on rifle firing and practice, he served on the frontier in Arizona and New Mexico where he was promoted to Captain in 1860. When

he learned of Tennessee’s secession, he resigned his commission June 8, 1861 and tendered his services to the Confederacy.

Fort Cleburne At Fulton On June 6th, Colonel Patrick Cleburne’s Arkansas Regiment is ordered by the Arkansas Military Board to a new posting up the Mississippi at Fulton, north of the Hatchie River, in Lauderdale County, Tennessee. By June 11th, the Arkansas volunteers, infantry, cavalry and artillery are established two miles north of Fulton Landing at Fort Cleburne.

A Memphis newspaper noted that: “Captain Holmes Pattison, an engineer officer, had already overseen the erection of two batteries with another in process. The artillery was encamped near the river with the cavalry and infantry stationed on ‘Fulton Heights.”

Fort Cleburne remained in existence until the first week in July whereupon the Arkansas forces were ordered to duty in their own state. When Tennessee forces arrived, they renamed the post “Fort Pillow” in honor General Gideon Pillow of Tennessee.”

BHS FFA to host camp

Ollie Otter visits Austin Peay On May 18, students at Austin Peay Elementary School received a visit from a special guest.

Ollie Otter, Tennessee's booster seat and seat belt safety mascot, visited the school to promote safety.

Ollie's program also encourages students to wear their seat belts and to raise the awareness about roadway construction site safety. Ollie's slogan for the students was, "Under 4'9" - It's Booster Time!"

Ollie was joined by several volunteers working to increase booster seat and seat belt usage among Tennessee's elementary school children.

Michelle Wright, West Tennessee coordinator for "It's Booster Time," presented the program to Austin Peay Elementary students.

Additional volunteers from the Tennessee Technology

Center at Covington were Tabatha Jackson, who dressed as Ollie, and Takeada Simpson, who played the roadway construction worker.

Both of these volunteers are enrolled as business systems technology students at TTCC and are members of Skills USA. Performing in the Ollie Otter skit was part of their community service project for Skills USA. The Ollie Otter program is sponsored by the Tennessee Transportation D e v e l o p m e n t Foundation, a non-profit group established by the Tennessee Road Builders Association and the TRBA Ladies Auxiliary.

The statewide safety education program has made presentations in all 95 counties in Tennessee and is now crossing state borders.

Ollie Otter communi-

cates that Tennessee law requires the use of booster seats until a child is 4'9" inches tall or nine years old. An orange and white construction barrel, representing Ollie's home, is on display to teach the children the importance of roadway safety near construction work zones.

The children were told to ask their parents "Please slow down!" when they see construction barrels and road builders on the road.

The children were also taught about "Belts to Bones," and what part of the body the seat belt should hit when properly buckled up, the collarbone, the sternum, and the hipbone. Student volunteers were measured to show the height differences between those who need booster seats and those who don't.

The Brighton High School FFA is hosting two camps for campers ages 4-11. Outdoor Edge, a wildlife outdoor adventure camp for hands-on learning about hunting, fishing, makes tracks of your wildlife and other outdoor fun.

It takes place from June 6-10 from 8 a.m.-noon.

“Barnyard Buddies Camp” will take place from June 13-17. The campers will spend the week playing with animals and learning how to take care of little lambs, porky pigs, rowdy roosters, bouncing bunnies

and happy horses. It is a fun-filled, hands-on week.

Each camp cost is $80 which includes a t-shirt, snacks, breakfast and lunch. Registration forms are located on the BHS FFA website at wiki. tipton-county.com/groups/ mrsterrilea/wiki/8b7a9/ B R I G H T O N _ F FA . html or you can email BrightonFFA@gmail.com or call 901-837-5855 to leave a message.

All proceeds from the camps will benefit the BHS FFA livestock program and other chapter activities.

Hi everyone, I’ll start by congratulating all of our military, veterans, presently enlisted, and those who have passed on through the years. Happy Memorial Day! It’s a little late because I did not write my notes last week.

Well, our summer temperatures have finally arrived. This day and time they might not last that long. I have never seen such unusual weather in my lifetime. One tornado right after another. This year will go down in history books for sure. I told Whitney while I was in Centerville last week for her high school graduation that the Bible mentions in the last days that we will not know one season from another. But I goofed - big time! She started crying and said, “But MiMi, I want to grow old and have grandkids like you!” I hugged her and said, “Don’t worry, honey. It’s not snowing in July yet or temperatures in the 100s in December.”

Who knows? Just try to always be ready. I made it home on Wednesday afternoon just before the bad weather began. I actually had to speed a little to get home before the weather went irate.

Charlie went to Whitney’s graduation also, but he came back that night with

Dunlap Retirement Center Kathy Keiter • 476-7014

Hello everyone! Sure hope you’re all having a wonderful week! We are so very blessed by the Lord this week as we have not had to send anyone to the hospital and everyone is all here and accounted for! Ms. Louise Gupton spent the holidays with her daughter Teresa in Memphis, and her son-in-law John!

If I know John and Teresa, they spoil Ms. Louise to death! Ha! Ha! Please continue to pray for Ms. Shirley Lusbey, she has contacted poison ivy and is really having a hard time of it!! Also please continue to pray

my grandsons, Hayden, Matt and Luke Scott. Of course, Whitney wanted me to stay until her 18th birthday, which was four days later. Of course, I did and we went shopping, just us girls.

She wanted to go ahead and get a few things for college. She will be attending Freed Hardeman University. The years are rolling by a little too fast for me.

Neighborhood Watch Our meetings will be cancelled through the summer. We will meet again the first Thursday in October. I’ll remind you again at that time.

Three Star Fire Department They will be hosting their annual Bar-B-Q fest this Saturday, June 4 from 5-7 p.m. Please come to support our volunteer firemen. They are always willing and ready. Thanks to you all!

Reverend Charles Todd is the minister.

During the month of June, please bring school items (paper, pencils, scissors, crayons, etc.) to help our Appalachia Mission Team fill backpacks for the children at Giles Mobile Home Park in New Tazewell. A box will be in the Fellowship Hall Entrance. Our vacation Bible school will be June 12-16 from 6-8:30 p.m. Our closing program will be June 17 at 6 p.m. at Thornton’s Pool in Covington. Happy birthdays this week go to Buddy Bibb, Alan and Stacy Willey, Joseph McDaniel, Christy

for Mr. Max Gibbs as he has had to have a pacemaker put in! We’ve had four that had doctor appointments this week, so please pray for them, Mr. Max, Ms Beanie, Ms. Jean and Ms. Joan. Our prayers are with you all!

And as always, please continue to pray for Ms. Polly!

We have two birthdays this month, the first one is one of our residents, Ms. Shirley Lusbey on the 12th. Happy birthday Ms. Shirley, I sure hope you’ll be well enough for Randy and LeAnn to come and take you out to dinner, cause I know they will!!

It's hot; supposed to be near 98 by the end of the week. This crazy weather; I was wearing a sweatshirt one day last week!

This week's Farm Report: No rain today, so our official Mt. Watkins Rain Total for May is 11.8 inches! The corn didn't fire up in the heat yesterday so it's got good ground water. Wheat is turning and will be cut in the next week or so and cotton and beans are sprouting up everywhere. Have a few dry days ahead where we can get through planting. Seems like we've been planting forever!

I hope the stormy season is over.

Last Wednesday when that storm system headed this was that was spawning tornadoes west of us, churches and

McCain! He’s ready for you! He has all sorts of neat “stuff” for you to go through! And he’ll feed you while you look! I actually have yet to go eat as I’m not a breakfast or lunch eater; I know, I know, it’s not good for me to not eat those two meals, I’ve been told many times in my life, but I’m just not hungry till 3 or 4 o’clock. I know I’m bad! But I do know Kenny has a very nice place to eat, clean, friendly people on staff to serve you! So don’t forget, stop by the KL Exchange and let Kenny know you’re glad he’s there! I may get a hankering for some of that good ole home cooking myself one of these days, you just can’t ever tell!

It’s been quite a while since I have mentioned Bingo prizes, but we are getting very low again, so if you or your Sunday

night schools all over were closed. Our church called off Singing Night, which was very unusual. We did have lots of wind and trees down here and there but for the most part, made it through all right. Again, hope all that's gone!

I’m tired of it!

We had a good Memorial Day. Got most of the fields at Smith Grove planted then I cooked the usual grill food and Courtney Gurley and her dad Jimmy joined us for supper. Nice close to a hot day!

I took my car to Dyersburg Friday to have the tailpipe extension welded back right. Been roaring ever since I bought the car and finally got it fixed. Ran to the mall for a few minutes then James and I, along with Clint and Courtney, drove to Millington for supper, meeting Michelle and Evan Nowak. After supper and lots of talking we drove over to their house they just sold and Clint got a refrigerator they were selling. The Nowaks closed on a house CONTINUED ON PAGE A9

Sharon Presbyterian Church Worship is at 9 a.m. each Sunday morning. Reverend Charles Todd is the minister. We welcome all members, friends and visitors. We are always thankful for our Dunlap residents who are able to be with us. We have special prayer requests at this time. Please remember the Walker family in the death of Mr. Dempsey Walker, continue to remember Jimmy Lovett as he is dealing with serious health issues as well as little Brice Fite as he continues his daily struggles.

Covington Church of Christ Worship begins at 10:30 a.m. each Sunday morning and again at 5:30 p.m. Bible Study is at 9:30 a.m. Sunday mornings and again at 7 p.m. each Wednesday evening. Brother Mike Rogers is our minister and brother Jeff Phillips is our associate minister. We are always grateful for our many visitors. We also have several on our prayer list at this time. First, please remember the Coughlan family and the Watkins family in the loss of sister Mary Joyce.

She will be missed in so many ways.

Brother Kenneth Mason is struggling with the seriousness of his cancer, Mrs. Jan Kinningham in the loss of her grandmother, Genie Renfroe following school class would like to get a box of goodies together for our folks, that would be wonderful! They do love that Bingo! And it can be the Dollar Tree prizes. That’s where I get them when I buy them, so I’ll just say anything that you can get at Dollar Tree would be fantastic!

I keep forgetting to say thank you to Andy Posey who so graciously came and took pictures at our Springfest! I was so very shocked when I got my paper week before last and there we all were all over the “Community” front page!! So thank you, Andy. What a wonderful surprise that was indeed! We did have fun now! It was fairly cool that day, so our TCCA Line Dancers could not stay and do their dances like they always do, but that’s ok, we’ll try again next year! We had

her heart surgery, Mrs. Virginia Baxter, as she is no longer able to get around; she is a lovely lady and a fine Christian example. Our minister’s mother, Mrs. Florence Robertson, is seriously ill and hospitalized in Benton, Ky. As many of you know our list goes on and on, however prayer is our only means of comfort.

In closing, there has been and will be many things to share. Mrs. Ann Chapman finally retired as cafeteria manager last week from Crestview Elementary School. Her employees and our fellowship group from church surprised her with a retirement party.

It was so wonderful! Her entire family was able to be there. It was her night of glory for sure. Have fun, Miss Ann! Like I said, “No more alarm clocks!”

My old buddy Judy Dunaway and her daughter Charline, along with granddaughters Chloe and Anna Kate, took a girls’ trip to the beaches in Florida; a good old girls’ trip! Everybody is taking off and going somewhere now. My grandson, Matt Scott, is so lonely this week because his girlfriend, Ashley, took off to the beaches in Florida as well. I told him that girls just like to have fun; you’ll live, Matt. It’s good for a man to count the hours. Have a great week everyone!

a good time!!

I also haven’t said much about rooms that we have available lately either, but we do still have five rooms available and we would love to get those filled, so if you know of anyone that no longer needs to live alone, we’d love to have them come live with us!

As a sister, daughterin-law, aunt, daughter, and loads of other cousins and so forth, I do think of the service that these people have given in their lifetime. Some of my ancestors have given their lives also. So, I think

that this is more than a holiday for the majority of us, it is a reverent day that we should reflect by taking off our caps and placing our hands across our hearts and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.

We thank our military servicemen and women that have passed on, living, retired, and enlisted protecting and keeping our Beautiful America safe. We salute you.

Much love, Debe

Lady Rebels bring home state title

By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com Timely hitting and an incredible individual pitching performance proved to be the winning formula for the TiptonRosemark Academy Lady Rebels softball team last week in Murfreesboro at the Division II-A State Tournament.

The Lady Rebels dispatched Davidson Academy, the 2009 state champs, in the opener last Tuesday thanks to a no-hitter by Roxanna Kimes.

On Thursday the Lady Rebels took out University School of Jackson, the defending state champs, 3-1.

Then, on Friday, TRA’s bats did the heavy lifting in a come-from-behind, 7-5 win over USJ to earn what appears to be the school’s first state title.

“We did some digging,” said TRA coach Joe Layton, “and we couldn’t find any other teams that won it all.”

The team caravan back to Rosemark on Saturday included a police escort and a throng of fans waiting at the school for the state champions’ arrival.

“It was pretty special,” Layton said. “The girls knew there were going to be some people there, but not that many.”

There was plenty of drama in all three games, but the title game had the most.

TRA trailed 5-3 in the bottom of the fifth.

Audra Bibb and Mady Kate Gantt, who was 3 for 4 in the game, got the fifth started with singles and Ashton Needham, who was 2 for 3 with four RBI’s, brought them both home with a game-

tying triple.

In the bottom of the sixth singles by Gantt and Jordan Whitley and a pair of USJ errors brought home the goahead runs.

Kimes retired USJ in order in the top of the seventh to wrap up her third straight complete game and the celebration was on.

It was a dominant three-day performance

by Kimes, who did not allow any earned runs in 21 innings of work. She struck out nine, walked just four and allowed only 11 hits.

Early in the season, Kimes was splitting the pitching duties with Brooklyn Simpson before Simpson was injured.

“Really the last three weeks, Roxanna pitched really great,” Layton said. “She just kept getting better and better and really came into her own … She had to pick up the load and she did.”

There was plenty of good hitting in the tour-

nament for the Lady Rebels as well.

Needham drove in a pair of runs in the first inning of the title game and TRA had nine hits for the game. Hanna Durham tripled home a run in the third inning to give the Lady Rebels a 3-1 lead.

In the game two win over USJ, the game was tied 1-1 heading into the bottom of the sixth.

After Durham singled and Kimes was hit by a pitch, Whitley came up with a two-run single that was the game winner.

All of the hits came against USJ ace Lauren Riddell, who pitched in a 10-0 win over TRA in the region title game and in a 3-0 regular season win over the Lady Rebels.

“One of the biggest things was that we figured out we could hit their pitcher,” Layton said. “We started seeing the ball and were able to make contact and get some timely hits on her.”

Lady Cougars eliminated in state tourney

By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com The Munford Lady Cougar softball program got its first taste of the state tournament last Wednesday in Murfreesboro.

Munford lost a 3-2 decision to Seymour in the morning session and saw its season end later that afternoon in a 14-1 setback against Mt. Juliet.

“We were up 2-1 in the bottom of the sixth in the first game,” said Munford coach Glenn Goulder. “I think we were a little shell-shocked after that in the second game.”

Munford certainly had its chances in the opener.

In the top of the fourth Sami Jo Schulz singled, stole second and scored on a Seymour error to give Munford a 1-0 lead.

After Seymour answered with a run in the bottom of the frame, Munford had an answer in the top of the sixth.

Marissa Deneka singled home Jodi Duncan, who had singled, and Munford led 2-1.

But in the bottom of the sixth Seymour’s Kerigan Newport came up with a two-run double that ended up being the game winner.

A fourth-inning, two-out double by

Alex Turner was Munford’s only other hit in the game.

Paige Barnes pitched well for Munford, allowing just four hits and no walks and striking out four in six innings, but took the loss.

Game two against Mt. Juliet was stopped after five innings. Mt. Juliet scored four runs in the first inning and six more in the third to take control.

Munford’s lone run came in the fourth when Barnes doubled and Tara Comer brought her home with a single.

Barnes and Comer each had a pair of hits for Munford and Jodi Duncan had one.

Comer started in the circle and took the loss. Barnes and Alex Stanford pitched in relief.

Munford’s season ended at 34-12.

Goulder said the level of pitching his team faced had not been seen during the season.

“We’re going to try and play some teams from Middle and East Tennessee next year,” Goulder said. “I think that will help us next time around.”

Munford loses just two seniors: Deneka and Ashley Hobson.

“I’d like to think this will serve as a spring board for next year,” Goulder said. “We’re not that far behind those teams.”

Two Brighton athletes take fifth at state meet

By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com Brighton senior Kimi Jennings came up a bit short of her goal of defending her Class AAA state pole vault title.

But she still performed well last week in Murfreesboro.

With a jump of 10 feet even Jennings, a University of Memphis signee, wrapped up her prep track and field career with a fifth place finish at the state meet.

Another Brighton athlete, sophomore Malcolm Terry, also fared well in Murfreesboro. He finished fifth in the

triple jump with a leap of 44 feet, 11.75 inches.

Munford was also well-represented at the state track and field meet.

Cougar seniors Reggie Fleming (2005.75) and Johnny Jones (20-03.50) finished 14th and 16th, respectively, in the long jump state meet.

Jones also took 15th in the triple jump with a leap of 40-10.75 and Munford junior Sidtavious Mennis took 13th in the event with a leap of 41-05.75.

Bruce Fleming, another Munford senior, took 10th in the shot put with a throw of 45 feet, 2 inches.

THURSDAY, JUNE 2, 2011

We're all reminded to be thankful When you read this column, Memorial Day will have come and gone.

But maybe, this column will remind us once again of what Memorial Day means and prompt the feeling that we should have more than just one Memorial Day each year.

I received the following story from a good friend of mine and I enjoyed reading it and I hope you do too.

The story goes like this: As I came out of the supermarket that sunny day, pushing my cart of groceries towards my car, I saw an old man with the hood of his car up and a lady sitting inside the car, with the door open.

The old man was looking at the engine. I put my groceries away in my car, and continued to watch the old gentleman from about twenty five feet away.

I saw a young man in his early twenties with a grocery bag in his arm walking towards the old man. The old gentleman saw him coming too, and took a few steps towards him.

I saw the old gentleman point to his open hood and say something.

The young man put his grocery bag into what looked like a brand new Cadillac Escalade. He then turned back to the old man. I heard him yell at the old gentleman saying: “You shouldn’t even be allowed to drive a car at your age.” And then with a wave of his hand, he

After that, the players and coaches of each team meet at the mound to thank God and give Him the glory win or lose.

One of them pulled out a card from his pocket, looking exactly like the card the old man had given to me. Both of the men told me then that they were Marine Corps Reserves. Once again, we shook hands all around and as I was leaving, one of them told me I should look at the card the old man had given to me. I said I would and drove off.

For some reason I had gone about two blocks, when I pulled over and took the card out of my pocket and looked at it for a long, long, time.

The name of the old gentleman was on the card in golden leaf and under his name was written: “Congressional Medal of Honor Society.”

I sat there motionless, looking at the card and reading it over and over. I looked up from the card and smiled to no one but myself and marveled that on this day, four Marines had all come together because one of us needed help.

He was an old man all right, but it felt good to have stood next to greatness and courage, and an honor to have been in his presence. Remember, OLD MEN LIKE HIM GAVE YOU FREEDOM FOR AMERICA. Thanks to those who served and still serve, and to all of those who supported them, and who continue to support them.

DIRECTIONS 1 In a skillet melt your butter and olive oil. Let it get hot..

2 Add Chopped Celery, onion, Fresh Parsley and garlic. Cook until onion is translucent.

3 Add Salt, Pepper, Bread cubes and Worcester sauce, and some liquid smoke.. Teriyaki sauce (I also added a small amount of Olive oil to the mix.) Mix and set a side.

4 Cut the loin so it is flat. Instruction read. cut a length wise slit down the center of each tenderloin to within 1/2 in. to the bottom. I used a pork loin so I just cut it any way I could to get it to lay flat with out breaking it up. You can look on line for a video of instruction.

5 Place plastic wrap over the top and flatten to 1/2 in thickness. This can be tricky. Try not to break up the meat. pound with a out ward motion to get it thin enough but not to thin to break. You need to be able to pick it up and handle it.

6 I sprayed a gill pan with Pam.. the meat was large and needed a large flat area to brown the meat. Rub the meat with a desired dry rub. Place on Hot grill or pan to brown the meat on each side. You can use Olive oil if you would like. Takes a couple of min. When It is to your desired color, remove from pan.

7 Add your stuffing to the meat leaving room on the out side edge. Roll the meat up and then use your kitchen twine to tie it so the filling does not fall out.

8 Place it in on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake uncovered at 330 degrees F. For approximately 1 hr and 15 min. Or until the meat thermometer reads 160 degrees F. ( I cooked mine at 350 would not recommend it.)

Cooking it slower on a lower temp should maintain the moister in the meat. The center should be 160 degrees.

9 Let it stand for 5 min. Remove the string and Enjoy..

BEHIND THE ARTS

TRYING NEW THINGS Ginny Robbins, well-known in Tipton County for her sketches of locally historical buildings, has moved on to new forms of multimedia art.

At far left, Robbins explains how she has used tissue and paint encased in wax to create a dynamic, textured composition. Above, Robbins describes her more detailed work she did in the past. Here, she pets her pearladorned rottweiler, Bunny, who stays by her side constantly.

BY ECHO DAY

Collierville: Free family fun, antiques and plenty of shops Editor’s note: This is the second 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.

From Blues to barbecue to bull riding, there’s never a lack of things to do in West Tennessee. Living a close distance to Memphis, we know there is a lot to do in the Bluff City, but what about its suburbs?

This week, our Day Trippin’ destination is Collierville, home of railroad history, huge antique shops, great parks and lots of family fun.

The story of the town of Collierville reportedly began in 1836 when Jesse R. Collier advertised “the Town of Collier for sale” in the Memphis Enquirer.

In the 1850s, a stagecoach stop was built and the Memphis-Charleston Railroad opened. The Battle of Collierville, the bloodiest in Shelby County during the Civil War, took place in October 1863. In 1887, McGinnis Hardware, a business still on the Town Square today, was established.

Like a phoenix, the town has risen from ruins more than once. During the Civil War, the original town was burned to the ground and reestablished in the decades following; in 1955, a tornado struck the town, destroying many businesses and leveling the historic twostory bandstand.

Today, the town includes a bustling town square, pedestrian-friendly shopping center, museums, historical sites, antique malls, parks, eateries and plenty of family-friendly events.

With a little help from our friends at our sister paper, The Collierville Herald, and the Collierville Parks and Recreation Department, here are our top picks of things to see and do:

1

Who doesn’t love splash parks? Collierville has two (free!) sprinkler parks, great for summertime fun! Check out W.C. Johnson Park, located at 419 Johnson Park Drive. Open seven days a week, it is a 271-acre park with natural areas, wetlands, three lakes, elevated boardwalk and outdoor classroom. The park has a nine-field two multipurpose fields, restroom, concessions and press box facilities, a gazebo, Ryan's Place Playground, a water spray park and numerous trails connecting with the Collierville Greenbelt System. Bring a swimsuit, sunscreen and lunch!

Admission is free for individuals and families (there is a charge for church groups and field trips).

SPLISH, SPLASH

Renowned artist broadens horizons

By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com Most Tipton County residents have seen her detailed pen-and-ink drawings around Covington in numerous residences and businesses. They all capture Tipton County in a freezeframed historical snapshot of what it means to live not only in the South, but in this county.

Signing all her artwork V. Thomas, Ginny Robbins has solidified memories of many citizens' past in selling prints of her pen-andink drawings of trademark buildings come and gone that signify the essence of Tipton County since the early 1980s. She has worked in her home studio near Covington's Court Square ever since.

Her work spans an array of landmarks like Byars-Hall High School, Covington Grammar School and the depot. Additionally, many of her drawings depict seemingly random dilapidated establishments such as barns and the like as they would have appeared in their heyday.

“As long as it makes people smile, I'll keep doing what I'm doing,” she said.

“I love to help [Tipton Countians] remember their past and tell their stories through my artwork.”

Robbins began her artistic career as a commercial art-

ist, but creating art under the philospphy of quantity over quantity wasn't too appealing to her.

“When I was younger I went to school for commercial art and started out doing that,” she said. “I didn't know if I was going to be designing a drink label or cigarette carton.

It was always people just putting orders on my desk wanting them done in a short amount of time. It just wasn't my personality. I quit and started doing photography and other different types of art.”

By photographing the culture of Tipton County, Robbins recorded times come and gone by shooting historical buildings, many of which were shot before being torn down which resulted in Robbins having the best photos ever taken of such buildings.

From these windows into the past, Robbins transferred these images to very detailed depictions in pen and ink .

In 1997, Robbins said, of her intricate drawings, “I love all the little-bitty details. People say how can you have the patience to draw all the leaves and details, but I like working alone. I can sit there all day long.”

Perhaps, a peak of her notoriety as an artist came when county executive Jeff Huffman received an

assignment to create a county flag as part of Tennessee's bicentennial celebration.

He didn't have to look any further than the sketch of the county courthouse, that Robbins created, which hung in his office. Huffman had Robbins design Tipton County's first-ever county flag.

Cementing her status as a premier cultural artist over the past 25 years, Robbins is now seeking to broaden her creative horizon to other forms of multimedia, meeting the contemporary interests of art lovers county-wide. Artforms which Robbins is now embracing include the unique encaustic, or wax, style. This more stylized, abstract sensibility in her work has enabled Robbins to use impressionistic moods in her work while bringing it to new heights by introducing texture.

“Much of this work involves encasing additional materials like tissue paper or actual plants with paint and wax on wood instead of canvas,” said Robbins. “I've found that many people have been going for this kind of thing.

It makes the pieces more organic and natural.”

Since her photography days, Robbins has been the first to advocate the importance of immersing herself in different types of artforms, always progressing.

“You have to have a free spirit and try not to be enclosed in a box,” she said. “Whether it's painting furniture or canvases, you've got to stay passionate about it.”

This ideology ripples past just paint and canvas and has spurred Robbins on to take part in Covington's modern culture.

She is striving to help cultivate an atmosphere that welcomes artists and art enthusiasts alike through being a part of the art scene found on Covington's square visually or musically. She says it's a part of a way of life that encourages one to just slow down.

“We need to come together as a community,” she said. “There's a friendly and open-minded art colony here. We just have to find a way to show it.”

Her provocative newer art, as well as a few of her well-known historical sketches, can be found at Patina on Covington's Court Square along with some more crafts she's created.

Her decoratively painted furniture and restoration work can be found at the Haberdashery on the square as well.

For more information on commissioned work, call Ginny Robbins at 476-1286 and at 582-8686 or e-mail her at vthomasartist@hotmail.com.

Soldiers remembered at R.H. Munford Cemetery

By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com In celebration of Memorial Day, a service was held on Sunday afternoon at R.H. Munford Cemetery in memoriam of Civil War soldiers buried there.

Singing "America the Beautiful" and "Dixie," a crowd of 50 gathered under the shade of the magnolia trees

to take part in the service.

Russ Bailey, Jared Baker, Chris Fisher and Avon Gardner placed more than 200 flags on the soldiers’ graves preceding the ceremony.

David Gwinn relayed a history of Newton J. Trantham whose grave was recently marked. Russell Bailey delivered the memorial address and roll call of the dead soldiers. The seven-member military detachment

of the Tipton Rifles under command of Chris Fisher fired a 21-gun musket salute. “Taps” was sounded by the trumpets of Alex and Stephen Schuetrumpf of Troop 260, Boy Scouts of Brighton.

Camp 257, Sons of Confederate Veterans (S.C.V.) was organized at Covington in 1901, and was inactive by 1930. The S.C.V. was re-established at Covington in October 1975.

A night to remember

By TAYLOR SMITH tsmith@covingtonleader.com Constance “Connie” Hudak, a resident of Atoka, received the title of fourth runner-up when she competed in the Ms. Tennessee Senior America 2011 Pageant recently.

The Ms. Senior America Pageant is a pageant designed to promote the positive aspects of aging and celebrate senior women with grace, talent, and character. Each contestant is interviewed to determine her conversational skills and reveal her personality. They also share their personal philosophies

to show their inner beauty, dress in an evening gown to demonstrate their style and elegance and demonstrate a personal talent – music, art, poetry, dance, among others.

Hudak, mother of three and grandmother of six, competed against 14 other women from across the state during the pageant.

She loves to serve her community through her local church in Covington and she is married to a United States Navy retiree.

The pageant took place on April 30 in Lebanon at the Heydell University Fine Arts Theatre.

How can I know what is right The world in general has little understanding of knowing right and wrong.

It is as if we are seeing society digress right before our eyes to the days of the judges (Judges 21:25). The attitude of the vast majority is to do simply what is right for you. Pluralism has infiltrated the minds

By Sam Willcut of too many. Therefore, by living in such conditions today, how can I be sure that I know what is right?

I cannot know what is right by feelings, emotions and personal thoughts. Jesus illustrates this fact in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 7:2123). Here were individuals who thought and felt that they knew Jesus, but they were wrong.

I cannot know what is right by what seems right.

The reality is that many cannot fathom that God would condemn someone for doing something that does not seem wrong. Many feel that sincerity in motive annuls any disobedience.

Nevertheless, the inspired wise man wrote, "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death" (Proverbs 14:12; cf. Jeremiah 10:23). Even the apostle Paul wrote of the distinction between the wisdom of Christ displayed with the cross to believers and the "foolishness" it portrayed to those who adhere to "the wisdom of this world" by way of contrast (I Corinthians 1:18-25).

I cannot know what is right by the number of people who believe or practice it. People are prone

to put strength in numbers—they often go with the majority opinion. Yet, the Bible is replete with examples to disprove such a notion.

Noah was in the extreme minority, but he and his seven family members were the only ones who were right.

Even the multitudes turned against Jesus toward the end of his earthly ministry (cf. John 6:66). Jesus prophesies that the majority are traveling the wrong path (Matthew 7:13-14). Truth be told, even the minority does not determine what is right — only the Bible can do this.

I cannot know what is right by the moral excellence of those who believe it. Some often rationalize, "Did you know that so-and-so believes it, and he/she is a good person?" Again, the Bible provides all answers in such matters. "For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not" (Ecclesiastes 7:20; cf. Romans 3:10, 23; Isaiah 53:6). Can a morally good atheist determine what is right in view of what Jesus says in John 8:24?

The only way that I can know what is right is by following the authority of the Bible. The Bereans did not do any of the things above, but when they wanted to know what is right, they "searched the scriptures daily" (Acts 17:11). Therefore, authority for determining morality is only in the word of God (John 12:48; Psalm 119:105, 130; Isaiah 8:20; Deuteronomy 4:2; Revelation 22:18-19).

Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Top Coin Collectors in Town Next Week to Purchase All Types of Coins!

By KEN MCINTOSH STAFF WRITER

ICCA will be placing ads in newspapers, radio and running television spots next week asking people to bring in any old silver and gold coins made before 1965. Those that bring in their coins will be able to speak with collectors one on one and have their coins looked at by a specialists. With the help of these ICCA members, offers will be made to those that have coins made before 1965. Offers will be made based on silver or gold content and the rarity of the coins. All coins made before 1965 will be examined and purchased including gold coins, silver coins, silver dollars, all types of nickels and pennies. Those that decide to sell their coins will be paid on the spot.

If you are like a lot of people you might have a few old coins or even a coffee can full lying around. If you have ever wondered what they are worth now might be your chance to find out and even sell them if you choose. They could be worth a lot according to the International Coin Collectors Association also known as ICCA. Collectors will pay a fortune for some coins and currency for their collections. If it is rare enough, one coin could be worth over $100,000 according to Eric Helms, coin collector and ICCA member. One ultra rare dime, an 1894S Barber, sold for a record $1.9 million to a collector in July of 2007.

While that is an extreme example, many rare and valuable coins are stashed away in dresser drawers or lock boxes around the country. The ICCA and its collector members have organized a traveling event in search of all types of coins and currency. Even common coins can be worth a significant amount due to the high price of silver and gold, says Helms. Washington quarters and Roosevelt dimes can be worth many times their face value. Recent silver markets have driven the price up on common coins made of silver. Helms explains that all half dollars, quarters and dimes made before 1965 contain 90% silver and are sought after any time silver prices rise. Right now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sellers market he said.

The rarest coins these collectors are looking for include $20, $10, $5 and $2 1/2 gold coins and any coin made before 1850. These coins always bring big premiums according to the ICCA. Silver dollars are also very sought after nowadays.

Other types of items the ICCA will be purchasing during this event include U.S. currency, gold bullion, investment gold, silver bars, silver rounds, proof sets, etc.

Even foreign coins are sought after and will be purchased.

Also at this event anyone can sell their gold jewelry, dental gold or anything made of gold on the spot. Gold is currently trading at over $1,400.00 per ounce near an all time high. Bring anything you think might be gold and the collectors will examine, test and price it for free. If you decide to sell, you will be paid on the spot â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it has been an unknown fact that coin dealers have always paid more for jewelry and scrap gold than other jewelers and pawn brokers.

So whether you have one coin you think might be valuable or a large collection you recently inherited, you can talk to these collectors for free. If yourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky you may have a rarity worth thousands. Either way there is nothing to lose and it sounds like fun!
