Flood alters Duvall Landing

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com

RANDOLPH – A month after the Mississippi River crested to near record levels, damages are still being uncovered.

Though Tipton County was spared the worse of the flood, public works director Shannon Reed said high waters have changed the landscape in rural

Tipton County.

Areas of Coon Valley Road, which takes motorists from Richardson Landing Road to the boat ramp at Duvall Landing, suffered considerable damage.

“The flooding formed a big hole in front of the parking lot,” he said. “You can’t go past the ramp now.”

Reed said flooding from the

Mississippi deposited a sandbar south of the parking lot where there was “significant failure” in the top bank of the river.

He estimates the river took a 1,000-foot section of land.

“There’s a section of trees missing now near the ramp. We saw a significant cut there.”

County officials worried the Mississippi would carve a new

channel in Tipton County, cutting off parts of Randolph as it did during the 19th century.

Reed said there’s no channel, but the potential is there.

“There’s a big bend in the river right there and it wants to take the path of least resistance,” he said. “It might keep forcing itself in there.”

The hole could take years to refill, said Reed.

The parking lot and ramp at Duvall Landing can be accessed, but the public cannot travel any farther down Coon Valley Road. It, along with Ruleman Road, remain closed.

“We have to keep the roads closed for liability reasons until they’re fixed. There are big washouts near the edge of several roads.”

Heat blamed for Brighton man’s death First recorded heatrelated death in 2011

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com With record-breaking heat this week, Tipton County recorded its first heat-related death of 2011 Tuesday.

Officials say 60-year-old John Lemly, an amputee from Brighton, passed away on June 7.

He reportedly fell from his van Monday afternoon and lied in his driveway for several hours before being found by a family member and taken to Baptist Memorial Hospital-Tipton at approximately 4 p.m.

Lemley, of Wright Lane, was transported to Baptist East Hospital in Memphis Monday night. He was in the intensive care unit where he died Tuesday morning.

“He had multiple medical issues prior to his fall,” said Tipton County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Deputy Chief Donna Turner. “The medical examiner said the heat was a contributing factor, but it wasn’t the only factor.”

He is one of two people from the Mid-South whose deaths on Tuesday were blamed on recordsetting temperatures. A 75-yearold Memphis woman was found dead in her apartment; officials said her air-conditioning unit was not operating.

Highs reached 99 degrees that afternoon, breaking the 96-degree record set in 1956.

Temperatures will continue to be in the upper 90s for the next week with today’s high expected at 95 degrees.

Officials encourage the public to check on friends, family and neighbors, especially the elderly and disabled, during these periods of extreme heat. Parents are also cautioned against leaving children in hot vehicles.

Students have summer down to a science

By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com This week, things have become scientific at a Munford Elementary School summer camp.

Each day this week, MES faculty and volunteers have held Camp Invention for 60 student participants. The activities have included entirely hands-on science and math lessons throughout five classes a day.

“Each day the students learn new, exciting things through actually doing experiments instead of completing a worksheet,” said director Melissa Rose. “This has helped tremendously.”

“It’s my second year helping out with this,” said Debbie Lewis, teacher of the class “Bounce!: An Atomic Journey.” “It’s been well worth it to see how enthusiastic the children are.”

Lewis’ class teaches students about atomic science through a study using bouncy balls. Each lesson uses chemistry, experiments and investigations to teach concepts of atoms, molecules, mixtures and compounds.

Angela Dunn teaches a class called “W!LD: Wondrous Innovations and Living Designs.” Here, MES students learn about innovations and concepts found in

wildlife and how they relate to and inspire our own innovations.

“The Curious Cypher Club,” taught by Jaime Byram engages students to solve mysteries and answer who, what, why, when and where questions by doing things like deciphering secret messages and building secret clubhouses.

“I’ve helped with this for five years now,” said Byram.

“I just love working with the kids on this and seeing them so involved and wanting to learn without knowing it.”

Every morning, the students have split up between two large classes: “Edison’s Workshop” and “Game On.” Both of these classes are very popular among campers.

The former puts forth activities that advance the students’ critical-thinking skills within the world of

invention. This class spurs students on to dismantle all kinds of appliances like VCRs, radios and keyboards to find out what makes them work. They go on to design their own Rube Goldberg machine that utilizes several steps to complete a simple task.

“Game On” presents physical activities for the students. Teacher Nellie Keeton instructs them on sharpening SEE CAMP, PAGE A2

FLOOD

Continued from A1 At this time it does not appear the levee, which runs north from the boat ramp at Duvall to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ casting field, was breached.

Other areas of Randolph did not see as extensive damages.

There was no significant damage to John’s Boat Dock or Richardson’s Landing, said Reed.

However, sand deposits are causing problems.

“Farmers are having a

terrible time with large amounts of sand deposits on their fields. In fact, some of them have had to use a dozer to get the sand off before they can plant their crops.

Flooding still an issue on the islands Reed said as of Monday, when public works crews last visited, there was still “a large amount” of debris on Corona/Centennial (37) and Reverie (35) islands.

The islands were once

their team-building and problem solving skills during fun, energetic games.

Each lesson leave a trail onto the next day and seems to keep the part of Tennessee’s mainland, however the river “suddenly and violently” changed its course in March 1876, relocating the land on the Arkansas side of the Mississippi River.

Residents of the islands are accustomed to flooding, but some had to be

evacuated from their homes after near-record level flooding.

Reed said Reverie Island is still closed to due to high water still covering the bridge on Crane Road. Centennial Island, however, is accessible.

Brighton projects remain delayed

By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com Some hang-ups still have projects around Brighton either postponed, slowed or on stand-by. These delays have resulted from different factors from weather to red tape.

Town officials have been trying to get the ball rolling on a number of changes happening around town other than the Main Street renovations.

The baseball fields in

Brighton are currently undergoing substantial additions and modifications involving a fourth field as well as a new two-story concession stand complete with heating and air conditioning, announcer’s box and restrooms. A new parking lot is in the plans as well. Dixie Youth baseball will be played on these fields and for the first time softball will be too.

The project is being done under a grant and started plans 2-3 years

ago. Brighton Mayor Jeff Scott said the job must be completed by May 2012.

Every job must be bid out by contractors, but hopefully they won’t have to go too far.

“We were initially going to get major contractors to come in and bid on the jobs, but we decided to try to keep it local,” said Scott. “We don’t want any local businesses to miss out.”

By the time construction involving dirt work and fencing is completed, the facility will house

ATOKA

Koral named new administrator

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com Officials with the Town of Atoka announced Tuesday the hiring of a town administrator, filling a vacancy left by the departure of former administrator Mark E. Johnson in August.

Currently the personnel director for the City of Sedalia, Mo., Brian Koral will begin employment in Atoka on June 20.

“I look forward to welcoming Mr. Koral, not only as an addition to our town staff, but also he and his family as citizens of our town,” said mayor Daryl Walker.

Koral holds a bachelors degree in public administration and political science from Elon University in North Carolina and is a member of the Missouri City/ County Management Association.

As personnel director, he was responsible for ensuring the consistent application of personnel policies and practices for 220 full-time employees across the city’s 14 operational departments.

Koral has reportedly led efforts to revise the city’s personnel regulations, strengthen the hiring and evaluation process and improve employee benefits.

As town administrator in Atoka, he will be responsible for the daily operation of municipal government activities and support the mayor and aldermen.

He will also be responsible for preparing the agenda for governing board meetings and the annual budget, including estimate recommendations and appropriation ordinances; maintaining property, liability and medical insurance for town personnel and property; supervising and coordinating all administrative activities of each department; making recommendations to the board on policies and procedures for an efficient, business-like operation; consulting and cooperating with committees in administration of the town’s affairs; and making recommendations to improve quality and quantity of ser-

vices to residents.

“I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Mayor Walker and the board of aldermen in taking their vision for the community and, with our staff team, working to put that vision into action.”

Koral and his wife, Lara, a nurse practitioner, are the parents of a daughter, Kaelyn.

The board unanimously nominated Koral for the position in May. Five other applicants were interviewed, the board reported.

Online bill pay approved On Tuesday’s monthly meeting, members of the board of mayor and aldermen voted to begin accepting credit card payments for utilities.

“We want to start making city hall more transparent and convenient for citizens of Atoka,” said the mayor.

By the end of the month, city officials hope to begin accepting more than cash and checks from citizens for payment of their water bills.

They also hope to begin accepting payments through their website, which is in the process of being overhauled.

Currently, credit and debit cards are not even accepted in person at the water department.

Alderman Barry Akin, who is a member of the technology committee, told the board the technology would cost the city approximately $1,200 annually.

And for customers who decide to use credit or debits cards for payments online or in person - will be charged a $2.95 fee per transaction.

Customers may also soon be able to pay bills online using electronic checks.

The motion passed unanimously.

Budgeting On Tuesday, a proposed budget was presented to the board. A budget work session, which will be open to the public, will be held on Tuesday, June 21 at 6:30 p.m. in the board room.

“I’ve done it every year we’ve had it at MES,” said Rose. “It’s our sixth year and I love it. It’s not like a job. The students don’t even know they’re learning so much.”

Sex offender loophole closed with new bill

Mhealth ILLINGTON care center

Problem with registry identified by local police, media

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com NASHVILLE – A loophole allowing sex offenders to send correspondence to their young victims has been closed following the signing of a bill by Gov. Bill Haslam Tuesday.

In February, Action News 5’s Justin Hanson, a Covington native, reported that convicted child rapist Terry Bernard McConnell was contacting victim through the mail, sending the Christmas and birthday cards with personal messages written inside. “Happy birthday, I hope you have a wonderful day and following year,� the card reads. “I cannot believe my little tot-tot is already a teenager. You might be tired of me writing this, but I can’t get over how fast you are growing up.�

Tipton County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Chief Donna Turner said, for the victims, the cards open old wounds. “In child abuse cases, it’s something you deal with for the rest of your life,� she said.

This card has put them back to the very day it all started, the very first time they were abused.�

The victim’s family had a no-contact order, however it was not enough to stop McConnell from sending the cards.

Hanson and Turner revealed a loophole in a Tennessee law.

Convicted offenders on the sex offender registry are not permitted to have contact with their minor

victims, but McConnell was not a registered offender.

Convicted in 2004, it wasn’t until three years into his sentence that the State of Tennessee adopted legislation that gave local jurisdictions the option to register offenders between conviction and sentencing.

In February, of the more than 2,920 inmates imprisoned in Tennessee for sex crimes, only an estimated 800 were registered offenders. This is because they were either incarcerated before 2007 or the local jurisdictions decided not to register them before they were sentenced.

The sex offender registry was designed to provide the public with information about individuals convicted of crimes against children or violent sexual offenses.

In Tipton County, convicted offenders are registered before sentencing.

After Hanson’s report aired, Rep. Barrett Rich introduced a bill to close the loophole and increase the protection of victims. “The way this bill was brought to our attention via the sheriff’s department and local media outlets is a demonstration of democracy at its best,� said Rep. Rich. “Thanks to the sheriff’s office and the local media who brought this to our attention, the general assembly acted and the governor signed a bill that will prevent further victimization.�

House Bill 1177, as

„

It’s very rare that you get to see something you’ve done change a law.

- Justin Hanson

signed by Gov. Haslam Tuesday, will amend TCA 40-39-2 and require all sexual offenders who are incarcerated, but who have not yet registered as a sexual offender or violent sexual offender, to be registered in the institution in which they are incarcerated by Aug. 1.

Hanson said it was very rewarding and fulfilling to watch as a problem he reported was corrected by new legislation. “It’s ultimately why we do what we do,� he said. “It’s very rare that you get to see something you’ve done change a law. I’m glad to see it come full circle.�

Turner said she and her department are humbled but glad to help thwart revictimization. “It’s our goal to do what we can do for victims in Tipton County,� she said. “And this now impacts victims all over the state. It was a loophole that needed to be addressed.�

She credits the victim’s family with the changes in legislation. “By reaching out and allowing us to serve them they saved other victims,� she said. “It came from one complaint, which went to the sheriff, then to the media and on to our representa-

tives who recognized this would help victims.�

Sheriff J.T. “Pancho�

Chumley is pleased with the closure of the loophole, stating that it will allow for better service to the public. “We will continue to do everything in our power to protect victims in these cases in Tipton County,� he said. “I am pleased this loophole was identified and the legislature adopted the new law.

Now victims across the State can know they have one more layer of protection from the people that chose to do these horrible crimes.�

Within hours of Hanson’s first report, McConnell was registered. Convicted of raping a child and aggravated sexual battery involving two female victims, he will be in prison until 2019.

“There is no reason to live alone.�

ARRESTED

Smurfers arrested at Walgreens

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com Last week a Missouri couple was arrested in Covington and charged with being alleged smurfers.

Smurfers, say police, are individuals who visit drug stores to purchase pseudoephedrine, one of the chemical components used in manufacturing methamphetamine, in an attempt to keep others from being caught cooking the drug.

The state keeps a log of individuals who purchase medications containing pseudoephedrine, which is one of the tools law enforcement uses to detect possible meth labs. “The investigators received the tip and confirmed through the State of Tennessee pseudoephedrine logs that other pills had been purchased by the couple at several locations stretching from Shelby County to Missouri,� said Sheriff J.T. “Pancho� Chumley. “We will continue to utilize this database as a tool to help identify meth smurfers.�

According to reports, police were notified that possible smurfers were at Covington’s Rite Aid store, purchasing pseudoephedrine, and a traffic stop was conducted after Joseph Allen Carlisle was observed driving without a seatbelt on.

Pulled over in the Walgreen’s parking lot, police reportedly detected a strong

chemical odor coming from the vehicle.

The odor, said Tipton County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Deputy Chief Donna Turner, is commonly detected with the manufacture of methamphetamine.

Investigators reportedly recovered several packages of pseudoephedrine pills in the vehicle in addition to lithium batteries, wire pliers and Coleman fuel, all ingredients used to manufacture meth.

Carlisle and his wife, Tori Rochelle Carlisle, both of Portageville, Mo., were arrested at the scene and charged with promotion to manufacture methamphetamine.

Joseph Carlisle was also charged with driving on a revoked license, violation of the seatbelt law and is awaiting extradition to Missouri on a fugitive warrant.

The Carlisles have a $10,000 bond but remain in custody awaiting their July 19 court date.

From Bucca with love, part 3 The remaining party arrived in Camp Bucca by May 6, 2007.

Our group of nearly 130 officers and enlisted were detailed to 80-man tents, and as the last of three groups, we were assigned what bunks were left over. The tents were air-conditioned, but the units would frequently break down, and in the heat of the JIM HARDIN day the tents would reach over 90 degrees even when they did work. Everyone scrambled to find fans to at least move the air around to make it somewhat tolerable.

I was assigned to be the Sergeant-of-the Guard (SOG) of one of several compounds, a gated holding center for 1,000 detainees captured in various places in Iraq, many of these since the surge began a couple of months earlier. We had what was called a “Red” Compound, holding what were purported to be the more violent or high-value combatants compared to those in Amber or Green compounds.

Charlie Company was dissolved and we were assigned to replace what was remaining of the NPDB-2 group who had been there over 9 months.

Most of us were placed in detainee compounds, but some where detailed to base support roles in supply and elsewhere. Each compound run by the Navy Battalions (many were staffed by Army and Air Force) operated 2 shifts, which consisted of 37 enlisted men. I reported to a Chief Petty Officer on the shift. A Lieutenant was assigned as the Compound Officer who had responsibility for both shifts.

Camp Bucca was a Forward Operating Base used by convoys and others for a variety of reasons, most of which were unknown to me. We were contained inside an area surrounded by earthen berms, wires and towers around the perimeter. The camp was roughly 1 mile by 2 miles. Within the base we worked inside an area that took up half the camp where over 20,000 detainees would be housed. There were about 17,000 when we arrived.

Our compound was laid out as an open-air square with lots of razor wire and earth walls contained by heavy-gauge wire. There were four quadrants holding detainees who lived in make-shift huts, or tents if they had burned a hut during a protest. We had a command shack outside the fenced compound.

Inside the “wire” were shacks at each “Quad” where sailors were detailed to oversee 250 detainees. We held 2 quads of Shi’a Muslims and 2 of Sunni for a total of 1,000. I think these hated each other worse than they hated us, and that did work to our advantage, sometimes.

I now had 36 personnel reporting to me and it was my responsibility to select a Compound Section Leader (CSL), Quad Leaders and their staff. My buddy Huck ran one of the Quads. I had one female about the age of my youngest daughter in the group and I was worried about how she would be treated by detainees who came from a culture that did not respect women in such a role, and how the other guys would act. I must admit that I was a bit of an old fogie about women in such a role. It was a constant struggle for a while to keep some of the roving guards from spending too much time in her area, but overall she did a superb job and the guys behaved like gentlemen.

I worked with the CSL and Quad Leads to organize a schedule of 12-hour shifts with a day or two off for each security force member every week. We would all muster one-hour before shift outside the detainee area near our living quarters, on duty of not, and then those on duty would load up on Hummers or trucks to the compounds (a prison within a base that was like a prison). We would arrive in full body armor and weapons. All weapons were turned in to the Compound shack except for the four assigned to work each tower by one of the four Quads. All other guards carried only less-than-lethal weapons inside the wire. Our day would end with turn-over to the night shift at midnight. By the time we got back to the tents, we had put in a 14-hour day.

I worked Monday through Saturday for 12-hour shifts and generally was off Sunday so I could help the Chaplains with music in the various protestant services. I would play guitar and help lead singing in 4 services each week, unless riots or rocket/mortar attacks required me elsewhere. The services ranged from very traditional to very contemporary, so there was something for everyone. Our Battalion Chaplain was a Lutheran, could remember your name and details you shared about your life after one meeting (he had been a Jeopardy Contestant a couple of years earlier), and was a master Cribbage player. Cribbage was a “Yankee” card game, but my buddy Huck taught me to play, and we sometimes had a game with “Chaps”.

After three days of turn-over between our group and the NPDB-2 folks we were replacing, we took control of the Compound and its 1,000 detainees.

There would be riots, rock throwing, hut burning, rocket and mortar attacks, tense days, hot days (over 130 degrees many days), some light moments, and eventually a change in both the detainees and their American guards. Next week I’ll share some of those stories.

NEW TRUCK The City of Atoka has purchased a new fire truck. The cost of the new pumper was $73,000.

The unit is currently housed at the Munford Fire Department. Munford and Atoka now combine their fire fighting equipment and volunteer firemen.The new truck has a 750-gallen storage tank and has the capacity to pump 1000 gallons of water per minute. Accepting the new truck this week were (l to r) Brett Pickard, volunteer fireman; Charles Walker, mayor and Andy Bohrman, Earl Billings and Mike Billings, aldermen.

Can you remember when there was a time country Doctors made house calls? How many folks can garner up a tale or two about being on their ‘so-called’ death bed and the brilliant physicians came flying to the rescue. Take a slow trip down memory lane and visualize the black, faded leather medicine bag with the broken latch that probably never did work anyway.

Even faded photos, paintings or clips always depict the bag as scuffed, bulging and ‘pert nigh’ dilapidated. However, the small, hand carried bag could hold enough supplies to overflow a cotton wagon with cracked and splintered sideboards.

Neighbor, I never saw or heard of anyone except the Country Doctor sticking his or her paw inside a Doctor’s vault to extract any medicine except the healer himself. We talked about it occasionally. Why? Speculation or educated guessing.

Explore different options while purchasing bonds

By EDWARD JONES Special to The Leader As an investor, you may find that bonds can be a valuable part of your holdings. But there’s more than one way to own bonds, so you’ll want to be familiar with the various investment vehicles available — because the more you know, the better the choices you’ll be able to make.

So, let’s look at three popular ways of owning bonds: Individual bonds When you buy an individual bond, you will receive predictable interest payments. And when your bond matures, you’ll get the original principal back, unless the issuer defaults, which is not common in cases of “investment grade� bonds. However, the value of your bond — the price you could get for it if you sold it on the open market before it matured — will fluctuate over time, primarily in response to interest rates.

(When market rates go up, the value of your bond drops, and vice

versa.) In general, you’ll pay at least $5,000 for an individual bond, though that amount may vary.

Consequently, while this approach gives you more control, it can be more time consuming and require a larger investment in order to build a diverse fixed-income portfolio.

Bond funds By investing in a bondbased mutual fund, which may own dozens of different types of bonds, you can efficiently increase your diversification, which is important, because diversification can help reduce credit risk (although it can’t guarantee a profit or protect against a loss). A bond fund does not pay you a fixed rate of return; instead, you receive divi-

dends, which will fluctuate based on the underlying bonds’ interest rates and capital appreciation.

In addition, bond funds don’t have a maturity date when principal is repaid. Keep in mind that when you purchase bond funds, you could be subject to capital gains taxes in two different ways: if you sell your fund shares for a profit or if the fund manager sells an underlying bond for more than it’s worth.

This increased capital gains liability is one reason that many people put bond funds in a taxdeferred vehicle, such as an IRA or a 401(k).

Bond UITs A unit investment trust (UIT), like a mutual fund, contains a variety of bonds, so you get the benefit of diversification.

Unlike a mutual fund, however, a UIT is not actively managed and does not change its holdings. And since no manager is involved in making changes or trades, a UIT has low management fees. A UIT is typically established for 20 to 30 years, but, as an individual investor, you can sell

your shares whenever you want, for whatever the market will bear.

Although UITs can be some of the most costefficient, low-risk options in the fixed-income arena, they are not without risk. Specifically, since a UIT’s bonds provide fixed interest rates, there’s always the possibility that the bonds will lose purchasing power to inflation over time.

When choosing how to own bonds, you’ll need to evaluate many factors — and we’ve only looked at some of them.

You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine which methods of bond ownership are appropriate for your needs. By doing your homework, and getting the help you need, you can maximize the advantages of adding bonds to your investment mix.

Readers’ Views Remember 9/11

A note of thanks

Dear editor, I heard something in the media about Bin Laden being unarmed when he was shot. WHO CARES? Our soldiers are trained to protect and serve the U.S. He removed a boil from the earth; that Navy SEAL performed his duties to this country.

For anyone who thinks he was murdered, remember 9/11. Those 3,000 people were innocent and also UNARMED! He took more lives than he could ever repay with his own. The coward even pulled his wife in front of him to use as a shield. I think he got that boot Toby Keith was talking about.

Good riddance; bon voyage, Bin Laden. I know you’re definitely not going to enjoy your next life.

Sheila Monasco Burlison

Dear editor, Our family would like to thank each and every person who was supportive during our family’s time of need while trying to locate our beloved daughter, Tiffany. The many well wishes, prayers and assistance were welcomed and truly appreciated and made us glad to be a part of a wonderful community in which family, friends and complete strangers came together and offered words of encouragement and help.

There is nothing like having a missing child. We wouldn’t wish that feeling on anyone. Contrary to what some have said, we did not know where our daughter was. We only knew that she had not contacted her family for some time and that was totally out of character for her. I only did what my maternal instincts told me to

do and I would have gone to the ends of the earth to find her. I want to thank her friends who were able to provide the clues that helped us locate Tiffany and ensure for ourselves that she was okay.

My daughter would like to say thank you for everyone pulling together and helping her family.

She is very sorry to have worried everyone. I really can’t express how thankful we are for the community’s support and we still in need of prayers but I ask for your understanding and respect for our family as we begin the healing process with our daughter.

Wrather announces first makeover winner For a decade, Dr. Roy Wrather hosted the Dentist with a Heart event each February, donating more than $30,000 in dental care every year.

This year, however, he changed things. “This year we are turning our concerns and free treatment to selected individuals,� Wrather said in February. “We are asking patients who would normally line up the night before and withstand the winter elements to, instead, write a letter telling us why they feel they are in need of dental services and how their smile could make a difference in their life.�

While proud to help the public, Wrather was disappointed in his previous efforts because necessary treatment wasn’t complete after one day. “I’m grateful to get a patient out of pain, but I was always disappointed that patients walked away without dentures, root canals or crowns,� he said. “By changing our plans for 2011, we can change someone’s smile for a lifetime.�

Wrather said response to the letter-writing campaign has been “wonderful.� “Though I wish I could help everyone, only one letter has been chosen at this time,� he said. “After reading all of the letters and going through much deliberation, we have narrowed it down to one

The winner? Angela Burnett.

Burnett cares for the woman who nominated her for the dental makeover, but Burnett didn’t know she’d written the letter. “Angela always puts others before herself,� the woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, wrote.

A single mother, Burnett holds two jobs to help financially support her children and also sponsors a school step team. “She will do anything to help anyone,� the letter writer said. “Angela is a beautiful and happy person on the inside and out, but has not been able to show her joy for fear of embarrassment from the dislike of her teeth.�

Longtime CES cafeteria manager retires

By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com The end of an era has come upon the cafeteria staff at Crestview Elementary School. After 32 years, cafeteria manager Ann Chapman is hanging it up in retirement.

Her coworkers did not let her go quietly.

Last week, Chapman was to meet those who work by her side to take them all to dinner at Brook’s Barn like she does at the end of every school year.

However, when she got there, she was surprised by a throng of staff and faculty members, family and friends who were there to celebrate the end of her long tenure as cafeteria manager.

A group of supporters, 85-strong, shared a dinner of fried chicken, green beans and other dishes and a large cake with her photo on it, a “home, country meal,” she called it. Afterwards, many of them spoke before the group on her behalf, singing her praises.

“I could not believe they would do that for me,” she said. “That’s what I’ll miss the most: my cowork-

At the dinner, coworkers, family and friends spoke on Chapman's behalf. Pictured are coworkers Brenda Burnett, Nancy Kinney, Wanda Gardner, Yvette Nelson, Brenda Malone, Frances Coulston, Lynne Archer, Wanda Rushing, Sylvia Cates, C. J. Whitley and (sitting) Ann Chapman.

simple one.

“One day we were serving broccoli spears and a little boy student walked up to me and said, ‘What are these little trees you’re serving today?’

“The most challenging, yet rewarding, part about my job has been feeding children that really needed it. We have a huge breakfast program because of that need in this community.”

When asked what she’ll do with her retirement, Chapman said she plans to visit her son, Murray, in Denver more often with her husband, Billy, who is five-years retired from Southwest Electric Company.

Her son and daughter-in-law, Mike and Michelle Chapman, remain close in Covington where they all live. Their son, Dylan, 12, will still request a ride to school every day from “Mimi.”

“My family has always stood beside me,” she said.

“The good Lord sure has blessed me with a good family.”

Day named news editor, Smith joins staff Echo Day has been named news editor of The Leader, publisher Brian Blackley announced this week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Echo is the go-to person in our newsroom,â&#x20AC;? Blackley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the last year, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been responsible for content and for getting the news content written, planned and placed in the newspaper, so this is really nothing more than a confirmation of the position she has been holding. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really worked hard to focus on improvements within our budgetary constraints and she has been successful,â&#x20AC;? he said.

At the core, Blackley said increasing revenue is the critical component to making the newspaper better. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People want the newspaper to be what it used to be, and so do I and so does Echo,â&#x20AC;? Blackley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Making it what it used to be requires the resources it used to have, though, and in these lean economic times when customers are trimming ad budgets, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to do the best we can with what we have to work with.

Given that qualifier, Echo has worked very, very hard and has done a lot with a staff consisting of one or two additional people.â&#x20AC;?

Blackley said his deciding factor was seeing the maturity and growth of Day since taking the lead role in the newsroom a year ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an exciting announcement for us,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Growing talent within your own ranks is a terrific thing. We have a lot of faith and confidence in Echo.â&#x20AC;?

Day, 30, a mother of four, wife of Darin Day and daughter of Tipton County residents Gary and Robin Gaines, said she appreciates the opportunity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am thankful for the confidence that has been placed in me and I plan to continue to work with the staff and with the community to build and retain that confidence,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked hard to approach news in a balanced way and our goal is to continue to do that. We want to report on a good, appropriate balance of hard news and features and human interest stories that our readers find compelling and that they want to read.â&#x20AC;?

Day said she is always looking for ways to improve the paper and welcomes suggestions from the community.

Her staff includes staff writer Tyler Lindsey and intern Taylor Smith.

She began working with The Leader as a freelance writer in February 2007.

Smith joins staff as intern Taylor Smith has recently joined the Leader staff as an intern, providing support to the editorial staff in the production of special publications, announcements and community contributions in our weekly editions.

Smith, a 2010 graduate of Munford High School, will be entering her second year at the University of Memphis where she is double majoring in Spanish and journalism.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I chose Spanish because I was good at it and figured â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Why not?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started off in communications and had experience with broadcast journalism, but I decided I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it to save my life. In my media writing class I found out that I really loved writing news, so I changed my concentration to newspaper and magazine writing.â&#x20AC;?

Smith started her internship in late May, working with local community members to produce stories on local events in addition to other duties. Her career plans include working at a weekly paper in the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would rather work at a weekly versus a daily because it seems as though there is more time to plan and work on stories,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are always things going on and you can devote more time to them.â&#x20AC;?

With more newspapers shifting to hyperlocal coverage, Smith believes a community-based paper is where she would like to be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would rather stay at a local paper because things right now are focusing on local, local, local,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to come to The Leader because it was local and take what I learned and apply it in the future.â&#x20AC;?

News editor Echo Day said Smith brings new energy to the department. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taylor is excited about print journalism, which renews the excitement for the rest of us,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is determined to learn the business, jumps right in and seems to love every minute of it.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great fit.â&#x20AC;?

Smith will complete her internship in August. She may be reached by calling 901-476-7116 or via email at tsmith@covingtonleader.com.

150 YEARS AGO: JUNE 1861

The Civil War in Tipton County

Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

By RUSSELL B. BAILEY Tipton County Historian

Tipton Volunteers At Union City The men of Company C, 9th Tennessee Infantry of Tipton County, arrived at Union City on Saturday, June 1, 1861.

Lieutenant James I. Hall wrote to his parents on June 5th: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very comfortably fixed, have a good tent, good cotton mattress, chairs, etc. We have provisions in abundance and of good qualityâ&#x20AC;Ś.there is some sickness in the camp, one or two cases of mumps, one case of pneumonia and some bowel complaints.

Dumpy Daniel has had a mild attack of flux, is now well, the three boys from the neighborhood are well. There are five regiments here, composed of between 5-6 thousand men. We are encamped within a mile of Union Cityâ&#x20AC;Śwe have received our gunsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;percussion muskets, since we came here and are drilling with themâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;?

Randolph, Fort Wright From the diary of W. J. Rogers of the 13th Infantry from June 10-16, we learn the following: his regiment went to work on the breastworks chopping down trees and ditching; four men were put on double duty for not washing; some of the soldiers caught the farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cows and milked them for cream; William Jones got a bayonet stuck in his eye by accident; two men drowned in the river swimming; the regiment received their ration of whiskey and S. H. Allen got tipsy; one Sunday Major Winfield and captain Palmore played cards instead of praying; one man got his let shot off by a cannon ball and another wounded by a pistol shot; the

steamboat â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Charlie Millerâ&#x20AC;? was fired on by artillery and made to land; company drilled in squads. On June 16 he recorded: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am on picket guard today and the mosquitoes is so large that they can stand flat-footed and drink out of our canteens.â&#x20AC;?

More Confederate volunteers died at Randolph.

Since May 9 the following deaths were reported: John G. Archibald, 13th Tennessee Infantry, age 24, died of sickness.

Martin Cass, 2d Tennessee Infantry, drowned.

Mike Coffee, 2d Tennessee Infantry, drowned.

James Doyle, 2d Tennessee Infantry, killed.

Peter Flynn, 2d Tennessee Infantry, sent to Memphis sick where he died.

Thomas Gallagher, 154th Tennessee Infantry, shot and killed while drilling, June 14.

John A. Jones, 13th Tennessee Infantry, died at home on sick furlough, June 15.

J. S. Minton, 13th Tennessee Infantry, died at home on sick furlough June 1861 G. K. Montgomery, 13th Tennessee Infantry; died at home on sick furlough June 1861 Patrick Roark, 154th Tennessee Infantry; drowned, June 1861.

Isaac Watkins, 154th Tennessee Infantry; shot himself at Randolph May 23, 1861.

On June 11, a Memphis newspaper reported that the sword presented by the State of Tennessee to former General and President Andrew Jackson, was at Randolph on display to the soldiers.

On June 13, Rev. J. G. Law recorded in his diary that â&#x20AC;&#x153;this day has been set apart by the Hon. Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America, as a day of fasting and prayer. At ten oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock we formed in regimental order, and under command of Lt. Colonel Marcus Wright, marched to a beautiful grove, and listened to a sermon from Rev. Dr. Collins. Dined on turtle soup.â&#x20AC;? The next day Rev. Law recorded:

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beautiful day, but very warm. Detailed for fatigue duty. Shoveled dirt on the entrenchments for three hours. Received a beautiful little Confederate flag with the compliments of Miss Mary Facklen of Huntsville, Ala. That helps a soldier to shovel dirt on a hot summer day.â&#x20AC;?

Two companies of volunteers arrived at Randolph by June 14, Captain Samuel R. Lattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 81 men from Dyer County and Captain John P. Whitemoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company form Hardeman County.

Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cavalry at Camp Clopton Captain Charles H. Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cavalry was in camp and drilling at the campground of the Clopton Methodist Church during June and July. The following was published in Louisville, Ky. and New York newspapers in June: â&#x20AC;&#x153;A DOUBLE BARRELLED COMPANY OF GUERRILLAS. Captain Charles Hill, of Tipton County, Tenn., has raised a mounted company in his county for a sort of guerrilla warfare. His company is already in camp and is composed of about one hundred. He is daily receiving additions. Their weapons will be doublebarreled shotguns. This company is well-acquainted with every foot of ground that will have to be passed over, and will hang upon the enemyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rear, and while they are pitching their tents, take good aim, treat them to a volley of 250 slugs, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;flush themâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and with fleet horses escape before the enemy can have time to return the fi re.â&#x20AC;?

Covington On June 10, 1861, the Tipton County Court appointed minutemen from the various civil districts. A public meeting was held at the courthouse June 15 for the purpose of expressing a preference or a candidate for governor in the upcoming August election.

James Byars was chairman while Dr. Charles G. Fisher served as secretary. Isaac M. Steele, Alex W. Smith, Humphrey R.

Bate, Jordan Brown and Tobias Smitheal were named a committee to draft a resolution in support of â&#x20AC;&#x153;our present faithful and fearless governor, Isham G. Harris â&#x20AC;Ś who should be elected without opposition.â&#x20AC;?

Hi everyone, I must start out with an apology to Haley Craig.

Haley is my grandson, Matt Scott’s, girlfriend.

In my notes last week, I called her by the wrong name of “Ashley,” as she and her girlfriends went to Florida for a girls’ trip.

I have talked to her since, and she said it was no big deal, but if it were me, I wouldn’t like it. This old grandma is starting to show her age. Sorry, Haley!

Now that rain we thought would never stop two weeks ago is welcome back. However, it was that rain that encouraged all this nasty poison ivy that is everywhere you look as well as all the weeds along the roadsides. I have already had two cases of poison ivy. I don’t know what its purpose is or what it’s good for. It’s just like rats and mosquitoes; who needs them? But again, the Lord created all things. There is no doubt that there must be a purpose somewhere. I bet there is no poison ivy

Dunlap Retirement Center Kathy Keiter • 476-7014

Hello everyone! Well we have had a very sad week here at Dunlap. Our dear friend, Mr. Jimmy Jones passed away this past Saturday morning at Baptist-Tipton with heart failure. Mr. Jimmy was such a jovial man, always making jokes and having fun with people, people he didn’t even know! He was a fun loving man indeed! We are going to miss him so much! If anyone is interested, his funeral is at Brownsville Funeral Home (the old one) tomorrow (Friday), at 2 p.m., visitation starts at 1 p.m., then the funeral to follow at 2 p.m. There will be several from Dunlap going to pay our last respects to him and his family. Please continue to pray for his best friend, Ms. Polly White.

She will miss him more than anyone I’m sure of that! RIP Mr. Jimmy!!

For those of you that have driven by our facility, you may have seen “Rest in Peace Mr. Jimmy” on our mar-key.

There have been several people who thought it was Mr. Jimmy Lovett.

NO WAY! You just can’t get a good man down like Mr. Jimmy Lovett!

As a matter fact, he just this past Tuesday celebrated his 68th birthday!

So “Happy Birthday Mr. Jimmy Lovett, we hope you had a wonderful day”! When I called him to wish him a happy birthday, I told him if I had known it was his

birthday, I would have let Ms. Betty, his sweet wife and his sweet daughter Jimmie Darlene off today to celebrate his birthday all day long! But he said “Awh‘naw, they gotta make me some coffee money” and we both just laughed! He’s a wonderful man, just in case you don’t know him, you should!

This coming Sunday is Ms. Shirley Lusbey’s birthday! Happy b’day dear Ms. Shirley! Sure hope that old poison ivy is better! We’re all praying that you’ll feel like doing something special to celebrate your day Ms. Shirley!

I had a lady call me this week to ask exactly where KL Exchange was because she wanted to go over there, so I told her it was on AtokaIdaville road and how to get there. Thank you readers! It’s so much fun to hear from you and know my notes are being read. Even my sister reads them! I couldn’t believe that! She’s had to listen to me go on and on all my life, now she’s choosing to listen to me.

Ha! Ha! Our Daddy, the late Paul Morton, loved to talk, so I get it honest! Mr. Jimmy Lovett and I were talking about Daddy today and how much that man enjoyed talking, and my husband

says “the apple don’t fall too far from the tree." I do love to talk!

I also had a lady to call today asking about a CONTINUED ON PAGE A11

In closing, I have a nephew in the U.S. Army stationed in Iraq. His name is John Wallace. I spoke with his mother this week, and she said things are so bad and depressing over there that a couple of men in his unit have committed suicide. Please, please, please keep him and so many others in your prayers. I’m sure your churches have addresses of the men and women in your church families.

Please send our military men and women cards and care packages. John said he needed simple things like soap, toothpaste, non-perishable items of hard candies, maybe a few photos, cards of love and gratitude, and maybe even some crossword puzzles.

Just think about it. They all need individual recognition.

This heat is pretty hard on us. Just imagine what it’s like over there in tents. Try to stay cool, and have a good week!

Jamestown DarSay Burton

Greetings – Hope everyone enjoyed the traditional first holiday of summer over the past weekend! As for me, I traveled with some of my family and dear friends from Ripley and Atoka to Chickasaw Park which is outside of Brownsville for a wonderful family picnic. Lots of fun for the children with paddle boats etc.

And a nice cool shady spot I found nearby with my name on it! My brother-in-law, Minister Romel Andrews, my sister, Minister Pearl, their youngest son, Micheal, and I joined up with the other Andrews, Romel’s mom, Mamie, Grandmother Ruth Griffen and his sister, Kim, along with a few more Andrews were on hand. We had a wonderfully fun time!

Speaking of my sister, Minister Pearl Andrews, is a very busy, brilliant young lady. She never stops doing her very best for whatever it is that she undertakes! On Saturday, at her church where she is assistant pastor, Bright Hill M.B. of Jamestown, where she is also president for Jamestown Community Health Organization. The committee, along with another worker who’s on top of her game, Pam Cobbs Springfield, JCHO’s program coordinator, Secretary Willie Mae Burton, Treasurer, Mary Burton, and top Bright Hill Kitchen chefs as well as round-theclock excellent workers, Mildred Sherrill and LaRue Albritton. JCHO’s Fun Festival was just great! Volleyball was played, horseshoes were thrown, fishing games were played among so much more, including basketball! It was great!

The graduating class of 1981 of Munford High School celebrated their 30-year high school reunion, and it was a blast! GiWatha Gaskins,

Sister Dorothy Hayes - as always - excelled with the welcome address. Sister Edwina Buford divinely brought the evening’s occasion. Sister Terresa McTurks gave us the purposes of being a good missionary and St. Marks Choir was outstanding, like always.

Bright Hill M.B.’s choir performed wonderfully and also featured a solo

He was accompanied by Pastor Adams’ nephew on the drums. Sister Pam Cobbs Springfield outstandingly presented Minister Andrews who’s topic was “A Cot” which was in step with it being missionary Day as well as Memorial Day weekend. The Cot as a symbol of Christians doing four things well; admit, commit, omit, and transMemorial Day weekend visiting Baby Girl. They had a good time.

Mt. Carmel/ June We saw the new "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie.

Clopton Very good, even without Elaine Watkins • 476-7093 It's hot! We've had onehundred degrees or near it for days. It will cool down a little toward the end of the week and will give us a chance (though small) of rain. First, it won't stop raining so we can plant; now it has quit and it's too hot! Are we ever happy?

Theft Alert: We had a tractor break down at Smith Grove last week.

Parked it at the little white church on the corner of Smith Grove and Old Memphis Road. Someone stole the weights off the front end, probably Friday or Saturday night.

Call if you have any info on this: 476-7093!

And to continue what is obviously This Week's Farm Report: Wheat is being cut and it is good; crops are looking good because of all the ground water, but we do need rain soon.

Friday night was First Friday Dinner and Movie Night and Bonnie Glass and Cammy Evans joined me, along with Courtney Gurley, her mom Amanda Cothran, and her brother, Justin Gurley and fiancee, Amanda Kissell. He was on weekend leave from the Air National Guard but will be back on the

I thoroughly enjoyed the C.A.R.E. (Covington Animal Rescue) Yard Sale last Saturday, going no less then three times!

I got some camouflage items for the guys, who sent me back for the rest of them. Then Liz and Lyla wanted me to join them there. By that time they were saying a small plastic bag for $2 or a large for $5 so we filled up a large and got Lyla lots of clothes and a few other things that were virtually free because one pair of Old Navy shorts Lyla got were more than $5 originally!

We had a big time and I just want to say that Ellen Weedman's Sweet Rolls are to die for (although the boys took them to the field after I sampled them) and whomever made the banana cake did a wonderful job!

When I got there (the first and second times) there was a little red Doxie in a cage to be rescued. I teared up thinking about Frankie. But when Liz and Lyla came with me we met a couple carrying the Doxie to their car! Yay! Several animals were rescued that day; good job on everything, Cuz! VBS has started at the Covington Church of Christ and we've been week, so hopefully we’ll be having someone new to move in. If you know of someone that no longer needs to live alone, doesn’t need to cook and clean for themselves, please remember us out here. We’ll cook three meals a day for you, do your laundry and clean

Jacobs set several school records during her four-year career as a Lady Cardinal.

“She’s got good speed, she hits for power and

she plays good defense,” Gentry said. “She’s just a good all-around player.

Hobson was a big reason why Munford made the state tournament this year for the first time in school history. She hit second for the Lady Cougars and was a big part of the team offensively and defensively.

“She’s a solid defender,” Gentry said.

“She’s a good slap hitter, she’s fast and she steals a lot of bases. She’s definitely going to help us.”

Southwest went 34-21 last season

to finish with 30 or more wins for the fourth straight season.

He’s got players on his roster from Collierville, Bolton, Olive Branch, Bartlett, DeSoto Central, Mississippi and Florida.

Southwest will play about 20 games this fall to prepare for the spring.

“I’m pretty excited about this class,” Gentry said. “With the players coming back and the players we signed, we should have a good season.”

BEHIND THE ARTS

BY ECHO DAY

Getting schooled on rock and its king, Elvis Presley Editor’s note: This is the third 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.

Caught in the trap of summer boredom? That’s alright, mama, because a wild ride down memory lane is less than three hours away.

Grab your blue suede shoes, hop in your pink Cadillac and head south. Our Day Trippin’ destinations this week are Tupelo and Memphis, homes of rock 'n' roll legend Elvis Presley.

Popular for his suave good looks and wild, gyrating hips, Elvis Aaron Presley rose to fame as one of the pioneers of rock ‘n’ roll after recording “That’s Alright, Mama” with Scotty Moore and Bill Black at Memphis’ Sun Studio in 1954.

Though he became a superstar as the king of rock 'n' roll, Elvis had humble beginnings. Born to Vernon and Gladys Presley in Tupelo, Miss. on Jan. 8, 1935, his twin, Jessie Garon Presley, was stillborn, leaving him an only child.

In 1948, the family moved to Memphis and Elvis graduated from Humes High School in 1953.

At age 22, Elvis purchased Graceland – a property in Memphis located in the Whitehaven community, nine miles from downtown and four miles from the Mississippi River – as his private residence. On Aug. 16, 1977, he died in the mansion.

Rock and roll history is so close that it’d almost be a shame not to take a day to learn more about the life of one of the most recognized cultural icons of the 20th century.

1

HUMBLE BEGINNINGS IN TUPELO

He died in a mansion, but Elvis was born in a two-room home built by his father. The Depression-era home, which contains only a bedroom and a kitchen, is now the most popular tourist attraction in Mississippi. "Our main focus is on the boy Elvis, the first 13 years of his life," said assistant director Blair Hill, grandson of Janelle McComb, a longtime Presley family friend who donated items from her personal collection for the museum." The landmark also includes the church The King once attended. If you're hungry, Hill recommends Johnny's Drive-In, Fair Park Grill and Vanelli's. For more information, visit elvispresleybirthplace.com.

Famous for being the place where Elvis lived and died, Graceland mansion is the second most popular residential tourist attraction in the country. (Only the White House sees more visitors each year.)

After Elvis' death, his father became executor of his estate; the title was then passed on to ex-wife Priscilla in 1979 when Vernon Presley died. In 1982, after facing the possibility of selling Graceland, Priscilla opened the property as a tourist attraction. It currently sees 600,000 guests annually.

Tours of the mansion include Elvis’ living room, music room, parents' bedroom, dining room, kitchen, TV room, pool room and the famous Jungle Room.

"One of the most popular attractions at Graceland besides the mansion is the Elvis Presley Automobile Museum which features 33 motorized vehicles Elvis owned including our newest addition, Elvis' John Deere tractor plus the world famous Pink Cadillac," said public relations director Kevin Kern.

There's also a guided tour and a free activity book for children under 12.

See elvis.com for $4 off coupons or stop by the Leader office for a copy of our May 26 edition featuring coupons for 50 percent off tickets to the platinum tour.

For more fun, family-friendly events, see our community calendar on page A8. Part four in this series, Day Trippin' to Hot Springs, will be published on Thursday, June 16.

THROWING IT TOGETHER Louis Gaither is enjoying instructing his pottery classes. "Several of my students are far beyond what I was doing at their level," he said. Above, Gaither coaches Patsy Fee on centering and molding the clay on an electrically powered wheel. The act of molding clay on a wheel is called throwing. Photos by Tyler Lindsey

Inventor's creativity spans subjects

By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com Louis Gaither, a local inventor turned artisan, says it's all about finding the rhythm when making pottery. While some may not know it, Gaither, who is known for mechanical engineering, has been creating art since he was in high school.

His forte lies in ceramic art, or more specifically, in pottery. Most of his repertoire is composed of designing utility pottery, that is, pieces that can actually be used, as well as creating art pieces, including copper sculptures and fountains. However, Gaither has always loved to draw and has also become quite practiced at painting stilllife compositions and landscapes.

Born in Somerville, Gaither now resides in Covington. Growing up, he has been exposed to various cultures which led to a flowering of talents and interests.

“Due to my father being in the military, I was raised in many parts of the USA as well as Europe,” he said.

“I've had an opportunity to experience many different types of culture and was blessed to be exposed to art

and science at an early age.

I am confident that exposure had a large influence on my ability to be creative and innovative.”

Louis Gaither said he has always enjoyed art as a hobby, including painting, sculpting and working with clay. His first experience with pottery was in high school with his Native American friends in Cache, Okla. Since then, he has stuck with it.

Continuing his education in the field, he improved his ceramics and pottery skills at Memphis State University. More recently, he has been under the tutelage of April Elnaggar of the Memphis Potters Guild and of master potter Simon Leach of Williamsburg, Penn. Leach's grandfather was Bernard Leach, who is credited with bringing and teaching raku pottery to American universities.

Raku pottery is of high interest to Gaither as it is an ancient form of Eastern ceramics. The history that pottery brings with it perhaps intrigues Gaither the most.

“Second to carbon dating, pottery is the next tool archaeologists use to date settings,” said Gaither.

“Pottery is an important part of historical cultures.

In addition to working with clay, Gaither creates art pieces, including copper sculptures and fountains. Pictured is one such fountain directing water into a copper basin that Gaither fashioned himself.

It's a big reason I like what I do.”

Additionally, Gaither loves how personal the artwork in pottery and ceramic art can be. Where a brush is held to the canvas in painting, the clay is molded with bare hands.

“You have to feel the rhythm with your hands after centering your clay on the wheel,” he said.

“Feeling it and molding it with just the right touch

is the most calming thing to do that I can think of.

It's very rewarding, almost spiritual.”

Gaither's list of talents and interests is extensive.

He says as long as he's making something, then he's happy.

He went to work in Covington in 1982, beginning his career with the Rose family as a salesman.

During his 28-year stint, he became operations manSEE ARTS, PAGE B10

Is it worth it?

By RICK HUFFMAN Elder, Gilt Edge Church of Christ

H

ow many of us have asked ourselves this question through the years? We may have asked this question about school. Is it worth the effort to pass this test? Graduate high School? Graduate college? We may have asked it about our job. Is the stress worth the pay? Is the pay worth the possible damage to my health? Is the turmoil with fellow employees or my boss worth the paycheck? Is the money worth my sacrificing my happiness? Are the demands of my job worth the time away from family? No doubt those who are trying to live a godly life have also asked this question concerning the spiritual journey on which they have embarked. Is it worth it? So often we feel that the odds are against us. Everything and everyone is trying to pull us down.

Many times we strive to be right.

We strive to act right and to talk right and to live right and to hold ourselves to a high moral and spiritual standard. Many times we see those with lesser principles and fewer moral scruples are the ones who seem to be the most successful, the most popular, the wealthiest and seemingly the happiest. We may actually suffer for standing up for right and trying to be right. We ask ourselves, “Is the Christian life really worth it?”

The benefits to living a godly life are not always readily apparent. In the short term, it can appear that the Christian life may not be the most attractive. “By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.”(Heb. 10:24-26) No doubt, Moses could have enjoyed life much more had he stayed in Egypt.

He was royalty and possibly could have inherited the throne of Egypt.

For certain, he would have had a lot less problems in Egypt than dealing with a people who did not appreci-

ate him or fear God. He would not have had to spend forty years of his life wandering in a wilderness, but he understood that the pleasures of sin were but for a season and his reward would be eternal. We too need to realize that. Ga 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

People of the world are not going to understand us or appreciate us.

1Pe 4:4 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you.

The world shall actually hate us who follow Christ. Joh 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

Jesus predicted, “And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.” (Mat. 10:22) Some, who hate us, will actually mistreat us. Mt 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you. Jesus never promised us a rose garden. Jesus’s own life was one of persecution and deprivation. Lu 9:58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. He warned his followers that they should expect no better.

Mt 10:24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.

He cautioned his followers that they would suffer from the most unlikely sources- their own family members.

Mat. 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

The sacrifices in being a Christian are many. We have to surrender control of our lives to God. Jesus told the rich young ruler to sell his riches and

This Devotional & Directory is made possible by these businesses who encourage all of us to attend worship services

give to the poor. Mat. 19:22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. He was not willing to pay the price to serve God. We, too, have a price to pay. Ro 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. On one occasion, Peter lamented about what he had given up for the Lord. Mark 10:28 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. The Lord assured or reassured Peter that not only will it be worth it later but it is already worth it now. Mark 10:29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, 30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

From our vantage point, sometimes it is hard to see the big picture or at least to comprehend it. So often, we are like Esau who sold his birthright for a bowl of pottage (beans). Ge 25:34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright. Regrettably we are willing to sell our soul, something far more valuable than a birthright and for something far less than even a bowl of beans.

Mt 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Paul put it all in perspective when he wrote, “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and jointheirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” (Rom. 8:16-18) Rest assured that being a faithful Christian is worth it. Heaven will surely be worth it all.

Military Matters

Couple celebrates 50 years Lanny and Julie (Shoaf) McDaniel celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on June 3.

The couple celebrated their anniversary by having dinner with all of their children at McEwen’s in Memphis.

They were married at the presbyterian church in Oxford, Ind. Lanny worked for ITT for 30 years and at Mueller Industries for 13 years

before retiring nine years ago.

Julie was a cosmetologist.

They have four children named Tammy Poston, Peggy Holton, Tony McDaniel and Penny Peters.

They also have nine grandchildren and one great-grandson.

The couple presently resides in Covington.

Ensign Jerome Teer, son of Elizabeth and Stephen Teer, has completed Primary Flight School for the United States Navy.

After graduating from Covington High School in 2005 he attended the University of Memphis and was awarded a bachelor of arts degree in psychology, magna cum laude.

He completed Officer Candidate School (OCS) in May of 2010 at Newport, R.I. and commenced his flight training qualifications at Pensacola, Fla. in July. After successful completion of Pre-flight indoctrination school, he was assigned to Training Squadron 27 (Boomers) at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, Texas,

JEROME TEER

flying the Navy’s T-34C (Turbo Mentor) aircraft.

The next phase of his training will be Flight School at Meridian, MS, training to eventually pilot the Navy’s F/A-18

Super Hornet fighter aircraft.

He is married to Samantha Dawson of Covington and they have two children, Maryssa and Apollo.

Glenns look back on 50 years Darrell and Shirley Glenn of Covington were recently honored at a surprise 50th wedding anniversary party and dinner at The Butcher Shop in Cordova.

Co-hosting the event were Brad and Trish Glenn of Camilla, Ga. along with Jeff and Tabitha Glenn of Bartlett.

Guests included the bride’s siblings, Hershel Patrick, Charlie Patrick, Jo Morgan, Mary

Lynn Isome and Pete Patrick and the groom’s sibling, Billy Joe Glenn. Special guests were the bride’s aunt and uncle, Edmon and Murrel McCommon and the couple’s grandchildren, Sara Kate Glenn, Maddie Glenn and Tel Glenn.

The Glenn’s were married on June 2, 1961.

The couple has two children and five grandchildren.

MARCH OF DIMES On Saturday, April 30, March of Dimes was held at Shelton Park in Covington. Pictured above left, is BHS graduate Joseph Michael Little with KJ, the Brighton Middle School mascot. Little was born prematurely with VATERS syndrome. Of the five serious symptoms typical to this condition, Little had four of them. After a series of surgeries in the first couple years of his life, doctors considered it a miracle at the time if he lived to be a teenager. Having graduated high school, he is rarely seen without a smile and is a blessing to those who meet him. Sponsors and volunteers took part in raising $58,000 this year making the month the most successful that Tipton County has ever had.

PATRIOTISM South of Munford, on Highway 51 South, adjacent to the Turner property, the letters USN were written into a hillside by a mower in celebration of Memorial Day. The commemoration was done in honor of NSA Mid-South and all the men and women in the United States military.

ARTS

Continued from page B1 ager for one of the Rose entities eventually becoming a partner with them in several of the businesses.

A noteworthy accomplishment is Gaither's design of the amphibious vehicle known as the Hydratrek for which he was awarded a patent.

“I sold my interest and retired from the companies in February 2010 and this enabled me to assist my wife, Mary, in her campaign to become the new Tipton County clerk,” he said.

Gaither also said that his wife is his best friend and that she is very creative and thinks outside the box.

“We have great teamwork,” he said.

“I get a lot of my ideas from her.”

Recently, he has opened up his own mechanical design consulting business called G-Tech.

Working in mechanical design over the years has definitely been a complement to his artistic passions. As of late, art has evinced itself in the foreground of Gaither's daily functions. He now operates a studio, called “Copper & Clay” within his G-Tech office on

Covington's Court Square out of which he's been providing instruction in scheduled classes for students. He currently instructs 11 students.

“I know for a fact that my background in mechanical design and engineering has enabled me to relate to my instruction in a way that has been successful.

Several of my students are far beyond what I was doing at their level.”

Being a part of the community on the square is very important to Gaither.

A member of the group Destination Covington, he is helping make Covington's Court Square a destination place to come enjoy a multitude of shopping, art and dining.

“I believe that we have a small window of opportunity to fulfill the square's potential in this regard. If we can come together as a community and share our ideas with one another and help out, then we can make the square a place for unique shopping and a place for the arts and music. When you enjoy that, then you enjoy life. We're almost there.”

For those interested in taking pottery classes from Louis Gaither, contact him at his G-Tech office at 901-233-8408.

Gold and Silver Coins Selling for Highest Prices in Over 30 Years Due to Weak Economy and Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Happening Right Here in Covington!

By KEN MCINTOSH STAFF WRITER

ICCA will be placing ads in newspapers, radio and running television spots this 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 specialist. 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, quarter 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.

What We Buy: COINS Any and all coins made before 1965, rare coins, entire collections, Silver Dollars, Half Dollars, Quarters, Dimes, Half Dimes, Nickels, Three Cent Pieces, Two Cent Pieces, Cents, Large Cents, Half Cents and all others.

PAPER MONEY

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!
