Blalack resigns, vacancy on board Made first court appearance on Tuesday, case bound over to circuit court

By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com Brighton alderman Walter E. “Booster” Blalack, who is also the town’s vice mayor, has resigned, said mayor Jeff Scott.

Though Blalack report-

edly resigned for health reasons, the 77-year-old was recently accused of improprieties with two juveniles.

Blalack was arrested by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation on Wednesday, April 20, on charges he forcibly fondled two minors.

During a hearing on Tuesday, the case was waived over to Tipton

County Circuit Court.

Blalack’s case is expected to be presented to a Tipton County grand jury on July 11 to determine whether there is enough evidence for a trial by examining evidence to decide whether to issue indictments.

According to warrants filed in Tipton County, Blalack, who is a real estate agent, is accused of

touching the genitals of minors he’d hired to care for properties he was selling.

The accusations alleged that the behavior took place on multiple occasions while also stating that Blalack forced at least one victim to reciprocate.

TBI spokesperson Kristin Helm said Blalack was charged with sexual battery by an author-

ity figure, solicitation of a minor, sexual battery and forcible fondling.

According to Brighton Mayor Jeff Scott, Blalack resigned on June 14 citing extensive health complications involving diabetic causes. Scott said the last time the two spoke, Blalack was reported as having trouble breathing.

Scott said that the next step will be to appoint

Brighton alderman W. E. “Booster” Blalack resigned his position last week, citing health as the cause.

Atoka to celebrate centennial

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com

This weekend, the town of Atoka will be aflutter with activity as it celebrates 100 years of incorporation.

The centennial committee, led by Stephanie Bohrman and Jackie Walker, has planned and prepared for the town’s birthday since mayor Daryl Walker was elected in November 2010.

The town’s charter lapsed in the 1880s during the Temperance Movement in an effort to avoid saloons within the city.

County genealogist David Gwinn said many citizens petitioned to surrender the charter and after a vote, the town lost its incorporation.

However, after legislation gave cities the option to disallow liquor was approved, Atoka was reincorporated on June 24, 1911.

A three-day celebration, which will take place in two parks, has been planned to honor the town’s centennial.

Festivities will begin on Friday, June 24 and will continue until Saturday, June 26.

Friday night’s events will include the recognition of Atoka’s oldest citizen, Jewell Forbess, and its youngest citizen, Baylee Rogers, born on June 3. There will also be a 1911-1920s period costume and dance contest and a cake and punch reception.

fresh meal of both fried fish and barbecued pork. Wells Kitchen is providing side items. Brighton Bank and other individuals will provide desserts. Boston butts that have been available for preorder will be ready for pick-up.

As summer solstice passed on Tuesday, Tipton Countians are celebrating the official beginning of summer through immersing themselves in horticulture and all-around gardening.

The University of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Office is making sure they prepare Tipton County during the height of garden care. In July, the office in conjunction with the Tipton County Master Gardeners will organize a series of open forums called Diagnostic Clinics.

Andrews travels to capital as a mentor

By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com In 2010, Pearl Andrews of Munford was chosen as a delegate among fifty others to Parenting magazine’s Mom Congress on Education and Learning conference at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. Parenting selected 51 delegates who applied for the conference to connect with other moms from across the country to share success stories, challenges and concerns as they work to improve the nation’s schools. Each participant received round-trip airfare and a three-night hotel stay.

This year, Andrews has been invited back. However, this time her role has escalated as she returned to the conference as a mentor to the 51 delegated moms representing each state and the District of Columbia.

Prior to the conference, Andrews said, “I am looking forward to rejoining part of the inaugural group and the new delegates as we assemble to help address the challenges that so many of our parents, teachers, administrators and other stakeholders face.�

From April 10-13, Andrews again received an all-expenses paid trip back to Washington, D.C. In honor of her outstanding contributions and dedication to improving local schools.

One of 22 other mentors invited back, Andrews led breakout sessions, facilitated conversations on education

issues and helped the 2011 delegates maximize their experience during and after the conference.

U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan headlined the roster of education and advocacy leaders scheduled to address the delegates at the conference. On Tuesday, April 12, Secretary Duncan spoke to attendees about the crucial role that parents play in the school system. Duncan purported to highlight how parents improve the country’s school system and the general educational opportunites available to our nation’s children. Other organizations scheduled to appear include First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! campaign, StudentFirst. org, Reach Out and Read, the National PTA, National Education Association, Headstart, PBS and NBC Learn.

The delegates were urged to work closely with Parenting editors to shape the magazine’s editorial coverage to better inform and empower parents nationwide to get involved in their children’s education.

Parenting magazine launched the Mom Congress initiative in march 2009 to celebrate and connect moms fighting for better school. Each month, the School Years edition of Parenting gives readers the education news and resources they need to make a difference.

Is change always for the better?

Many times we have all heard the expression, “the more things change, the more they stay the same.” As my cranium cracks and wreaks with investigation, I find some things just plain out of kilter. Often I take a trip down memory lane as I drive by some old landmarks (to me). But my wonderful Southern growSOUTHERN RAISIN' ing up historical monuments, O TIS G RIFFIN from the past, are no longer in place.

Today everyone is so busy, or so they claim, it is hard to even take a few minutes and reminisce with old acquaintances. As I casually go back through the tunnel of time, I still enjoy the feeling of sharing with my old friends from days of yore.

However, it is hard to do, on most occasions.

Recently, I was conversing with an old cotton picking, hay hauling classmate of many years ago, in his plush front yard. Under the shade trees probably a hun’ert years old, we tried to bring each other up to date, about our friends and various events. Several former snipe hunters are deceased, and some are having other problems, but it was not to be.

Strapped to his side just like one of Tim Holt’s old six shooters in the Strand Show we frequented as kids, was a multicolored cell (ride around) phone. A sirreeeen, bells, trumpets and the Star Spangled Banner commenced to howling. “Excuse me”. Then punching enough buttons to open the gates of Fort Knox, a short conversation occurred.

Twisting and turning this way and that, tilting his head, hollering loud enough to be heard at Hickory Valley, finally the transaction ended.

Frowning as he hit some more buttons the (ride around) cell phone was returned to a strategically placed, bulging pocket.

After some more pleasantries, the front door presented his sweet, little wife. “Dear, I hate to bother you, but there is a (walk around) phone call.” Reappearing a few minutes later with, “sorry we were interrupted.” No problem. Just as we continued, one of the grandkids flies through the door, “Granddaddy, you got some E-mail.” All of this in about a twenty minute time frame. At least he didn’t get a call on (his sit down phone).

This device has a cord attached. You can’t walk around, ride around, or leave the chair. Maybe he doesn’t have…a sit down…phone???

Friends, while all this high tech procedure was occurring, I had a proverbial flashback to my youth. We didn’t have a telephone when I was growing up. Daddy ‘figgered’ when someone needed us, they could drive by, or send word. If our cows, hogs, chickens, mules or guineas got out, well, someone would be a good neighbor and round them up like Hoppy, Gabby, or Roy. We returned the favor, as this was a way of life.

History tells us that ‘Ma’ Bell’s little boy, got tired of talking in a pork and bean tin can, with some sea grass string knotted through the hole punched in the bottom, so he invented the “telllyphone”. But Mr. ‘Babe’ Howard modified, glorified and rectified it, all the way to Rosemark and we had overhead lines to prove it..

All this garbling made our mouths a little dry, so refreshments appealed to us. Let’s go back in time and take some nourishment from a Pepsi or Royal Crown (R.C.) cola. Hey, throw in a world famous, (at least in Dixie), moon pie . Surprise!

My friend reaches over on the table and unscrews a container of bottled water.

Neighbor, can you actually believe a country boy would lower himself to drink bottled water. I remember we drank pond water at Mud Hollow.

Accidentally, others too!

I’m not going to put the bad mouth on modernization, but I ain’t paid for any foreign made, steroid filled, growth hormone added, extracted dyed sulfur, tasting water. Naw Suhhh, not as long as I can still draw well water. I’ve drawed, drew, drewed, well I’ve pulled on a chain, or well rope, all my life, and I ain’t a changing. I’m country.

Does anyone remember when the community, family water bucket sat on the back porch table?

The dipper hung on the wall on a sixteen penny nail. The first one there at the bucket, would skim the bugs off the top and sling them out the back screened door, trying to suffocate the varmints in the middle of the dusty yard.

Beloved, if we keep up this high tech intellectual outgrowth called modernization I don’t know if I will get out of this world alive. Pretty soon, someone will be trying to convince this redneck that Rasslin’ is real, and the Harvard educators will put a man on the moon! These are the same folks that ain’t never chopped a row of cotton, or dipped chickens for mites! My Fellow Southern Americans, don’t forget one thing. Just ’cause someone tells you sumpin’ don’t necessarily make it SO!!!

Explore different options when purchasing bonds u a l

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 gradeâ€? 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 individ-

FINANCIAL FOCUS S TEVEN J. JONES

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 dividends, 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 cost-efficient, low-risk options in the fixedincome 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.

Millington Telephone Company patron earns scholarship Each year the Tennessee Telecommunications Association (TTA) presents a four-year, $2,000-per-year college scholarship in memory of one who has had a significant impact on the association and the communications industry in Tennessee.

The late Mr. William S. “Babe” Howard, president of Millington Telephone Company and past president of TTA, was honored by the association during the spring meeting in Franklin on May 10. Howard and his late wife, Ann Anderson Howard, are survived by three daughters, Charlotte Barry of Millington; Holly Starnes of Munford; Laura Rosas of Germantown; one son, Stuart Howard of Millington; five grandchildren and six great grandchildren.

Three of the Howard children; four grandchildren, two with fiancées in tow; lifelong Howard family friends, Robert and Hattie Johnson of Franklin and a group of Millington Telephone Company employees were in attendance for the presentation honoring Babe in Franklin, where Stuart Howard shared memories of life with the Howards.

The 2011 W. S. “Babe” Howard Memorial Scholarship recipient is Alyssa Marie Radtke, a senior at Munford High School and the daughter of Bill and Bonnie Radtke. Radtke was active in the Everglades Restoration Ambassadors at Plantation High School in Florida, where she logged 60 service hours and volunteered at the Schott Communities for the deaf and Disabled Pediatric Therapy Associates. Radtke

received many honors and was successful in numerous academic competitions at Plantation High School, before moving to Munford High School prior to her sophomore year. At Munford, she was active in Key Club, the National Honor Society and the Distributive Education Clubs of America.

While at Munford, Radtke was successful in many scholastic competitions. She was an understudy in the 2009 Munford High School production of SUPERFREAKS! and was a member of the Munford High School’s successful Academic Knowledge Team. Radtke is a member of the Munford Presbyterian Church where she serves as the projector operator and volunteers at many church functions. Radtke has been accepted at the University of Mississippi for the 2011 fall term, where she will begin training for a career in medicine and law.

In her essay to the TTA Scholarship Committee, Radtke stated that “asking for and receiving help is sometimes the only way to begin to chip away at the seemingly unconquerable mountains in life”. Radtke was accompanied to the presentation in Franklin by her parents and brother, Andrew, where she was presented with a plaque honoring her achievements and then spoke to the assembled association regarding her plans for the future. Babe Howard’s daughter, Holly Starnes, herself a graduate of Munford High School presented an additional certificate to Miss Radtke during the Senior Awards Assembly at Munford High School on April 28th.

James Huddleston, center, who graduated from Munford in the spring, recently signed a basketball scholarship with Lyon College in Batesville, Ark. Pictured are, from left, Clay Huddleston, father; Tim Halford, Munford coach: Darry Marshall, Munford principal; and Steve McCullough, Munford athletic director.

Huddleston signs with Lyon

By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com Munford basketball coach Tim Halford remembers very well the first time he laid eyes on James Huddleston.

“When I first got to Munford High School, I saw him walking down the hallway,” Halford said about Huddleston, who stands 6-5. “I told him he needed to play basketball. He said no, but he eventually changed his mind.”

Things certainly worked out well for everyone involved.

After making the All-

District Team and averaging a team-high10 points a game last season, Huddleston signed a basketball scholarship with Lyon College, a four-year liberal arts school in Batesville, Ark. H a l f o rd and Huddleston point toward hard work as the reason for his success. When he played on the freshmen, it was his first foray into organized sports.

“Starting at the end of my junior year, I ran stadiums and jumped rope every day,” Huddleston said. “I would also stay two hours after prac-

tice with Coach Halford and work on my game.

He told me if I worked hard I could become his starting center my senior year.”

He indeed became the starter his senior season and helped lead the Cougars to the region semifinals and became the first Cougar basketball player to sign with a four-year school in the past 12 years.

“He helped us a ton this year,” said Halford, who still remembers how unskilled Huddleston was when he walked onto the practice court

for the first time. “He’s one of those real success stories. “I’ve never met a kid who had a work ethic like he did. He let me coach him hard, and there’s no quit in him. He always kept coming back for more … I think his best basketball is ahead of him and he’ll be a better college player than he was a high school player.”

"We are excited that James will be a Scot next fall," said Lyon College coach Kevin Jenkins.

"He brings size and athleticism to the Scots front court."

Manta Rays pull through again

TRWA utilizes a quote hunt system in Tennessee The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency notices that in some areas of Tennessee, the amount of hunters needs to be restricted so as not to cause a major impact on the resource, in these areas, the TWRA utilizes a quota hunt system.

The quota hunt system randomly selects a specified number of hunters from a pool of applicants. Applications are processed through the Online License Center on the Internet and through any TWRA license agent.

Tennessee has a priority point system in place for several of its quota hunts. An applicant is awarded one point for each year he applies and is unsuccessful up to to the maximum for that particular hunt. Each point system is unique and separate for the different quota hunts.

The application period for all Wildlife Management Area (WMA) 2011 Big Game Quota Hunts will run from June 15 through July 27, the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency has announced.

Applications are available and will be accepted at any TWRA license agent, TWRA regional office, or online. Mailed applications will not be accepted. The application must be received by midnight (CDT) on July 27.

Sportsmen are reminded to read the application form carefully, fill out all requested information, double check the form and take it to a license agent where it will be entered into the

system. When applying at a TWRA license agent, there is no fee for current Annual Sportsman License Holders, Lifetime Sportsman License holders or seniors possessing a Type 167 permit.

For all other applicants,

WILDLIFE CHATTER ARNOLD B ULL

there is a non-refundable $10 permit fee for each drawing entered plus a $1 agent fee.

Hunters may also apply over the Internet.

All other applicants, in addition to the $2 Internet usage fee, will be charged a non-refundable permit fee of $10 per drawing entered. The $2 usage fee is collected by the company that maintains the Internet site. (It is not a fee that is charged by the TWRA.) TWRA’s priority drawing system gives priority points (this year a maximum of 6 points) to hunters based on the number of years they have participated without being drawn for a hunt. Applicants who were successful last year will start over with a priority of zero.

When applying at a license agent, hunters must remain at the location while the application is processed to ver-

Hello My Brighton Friends, What a fast week this has been! My daughter, Danielle, and her family moving to Hawaii has taken up a lot of the week along with getting ready for the benefit. Father's Day was last weekend, too. Whew! No wonder

it seemed to fly by!

Danielle, Paul and the boys safely arrived in Phoenix last Wednesday to visit with Paul's dad.

Riggs said it was too hot in the desert and he wanted to go home!

But I think they had a good time. They flew out to Hawaii on Sunday.

Danielle said her neighbor upstairs had already yelled at them about the kids being too loud! She

Hello everyone!

Hope you’re all doing great! We are too! We’re looking forward to our big event at Atoka Centennial this coming Saturday morning!

You talk about good, now that’s going be GOOD! Ms. Patsy cooks them every year for our Springfest, and now she will also be cooking them, on site, at the Atoka Centennial!

It all starts at 9 a.m.

Saturday morning at the Atoka Ball Park.

She will be just as you come in the gate and to your right, from what I understand. All proceeds will be going to Dunlap Retirement

better get this woman under control before I go to visit or she might see a grumpy ol' grandma!

And she better not be yelling at my grandbabies either.

Of course, she told us how beautiful it was but where she lives is in a valley. They had to go through the mountains to get there. Mark Twain wrote about this particular valley and how beau-

I will be there myself promoting Dunlap and what all we have to offer here at our facility. We cook three meals a day, snacks at your finger tips 24/7, do your laundry, clean your room and we also assist with medications if you’d like for us to. We are a nonprofit organization that depends solely on the community for support and the minimal rent we charge for all these amenities.

The caliber folks that come here have got to be able to take care of their own personal needs like bathing, toileting, getting to and from the dining room and dressing themselves. We cannot assist with any of that, state regulations say so! We are not a nursing home nor are we an assisted living facility, so we have different state regulations than the two aforementioned.

We are for the folks that no longer need to be living alone, but do not need either of those. You

It's Tuesday morning. There's a possibility of some rain over the next couple of days. We'll take rain any time in the summer, which starts today! Yay! This week's Farm Report: Got our little bit of wheat cut and beans planted. Most of the wheat is gone around here now and it really looked good.

Corn has tassled out and has gotten two rains on it since it started; that's good; that's very good! Cotton is up and growing, along with soybeans.

We got a lot of wind last Thursday night, at least 70 mile-per-hour gusts here on the mountain. We stood in the carport and watched it roll in. The corn was whipping around but didn't blow down. Clint left to go home and encountered a tree down across our road and had to turn around. Our power was out for hours. We just got a half-inch in our gauge, but with all that wind, I feel it wasn't accurate. We got more than that.

On Saturday, we got another windy storm, but it was not as bad; there were a couple of tenths in the gauge, but it cooled off into the 70s and that was great when I went to a Redbirds game that night. More on that later!

Thursday I took the stray white dog Mattie to get fixed; I guess she's officially ours now! Clint picked her up Friday and first thing she did was chase our car when we left and run over to the church yard. Guess she felt pretty good or just crazy! Been giving her an antibiotic twice a day; just put it in her dog food and she eats it!

That's done anyway - no more pups to give away.

On Friday I celebrated my dad, Kenneth Weir's, 80th birthday by going to see Fast Five in Atoka. It is the best of the series! Saturday, I went to a bridal shower for Amanda Kissell, bride-elect of Justin Gurley, Courtney's brother. The shower was at Courtney's home and looked very nice and fun, but as mentioned earlier, a group from the Covington Church of Christ was making their annual trip to a Redbirds game, and I couldn't stay but 30 minutes; missed the games and gift opening. Got some strawberry punch

tiful it is. And she sent me a picture of a crate of watermelons with a sign that said $9.98 each. Oh my goodness!

The Harrison Simonton (fourth annual) Memorial Fish Fry is tonight; we have so many super auction items! Everybody has been so generous and helpful. Come on out and enjoy the night or at least eat some great food, we also have to go

afternoon.

Rebecca Poole and boys visited her grandmother, Flossie Pugh, recently.

Opal Murray was visiting her daughter, Charlotte, and Rev. A.A. Lawrence but has gone back to Dallas.

Margaret Partlow’s girls are good about calling her if they can’t make it to see her, and

can come and go as you please, you can bring your car and go where ever you need to go. All you have to do is to sign out, let us know that you are leaving just in case there’s a fire and we have to look for you.

We also offer respite care. That simply means if you are taking care of your loved one in your home and would like a vacation, we will let them come here and stay with us. We have several rooms available, so you won’t be a bother.

And we already have the meals cooked so we have plenty room at the table for you and a nice clean bed to sleep on. So if you know of a couple that needs a break, please call us. We’ll take good care of your loved one!

Until next week, y'all don’t forget about the Atoka Centennial this coming Saturday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. We’ll be serving up some good hot fried pies! God bless you all, have a wonderful week and don’t forget to give someone a hug!

though! Their wedding is Saturday.

My dad went to the game too, and he had a big time. We sang "Take Me Out To The Ballgame," ate a hotdog, ice cream, yelled at the pitcher and sang, "We Will Rock You"! We all enjoyed the win in an extra inning, then fireworks! Great night. Thanks, Jeff Phillips, for getting this together, and thanks to Ken Bringle for finding me and Pop when we couldn't find the van in the parking garage!

Sunday the children ate Chinese with us to celebrate Father's Day and I visited with Pop for a little while; wanted to get him True Grit, the new one, but it was sold out. I gave him an IOU and a Snickers bar, his favorite.

It was so good to see Virginia Baxter at church Sunday! Linda Gordon and Larry Whaley II are in the hospital.

Carol "Buddy" McMahan fell the other day, playing dodge ball with her greatgrandsons (!) and was finding out yesterday is she had a fractured hip or just a deep bruise. I'm praying for the bruise. So many are on our prayer list, along with all our servicemen and women.

The Birthday Party at Covington Care will be at 2:30 Saturday. I would like to invite anyone who can come to join us on Wednesday night, June 29, when Nadeen Sabir from Murfreesboro will speak on Islam at 7 p.m.

Happy Birthday this week goes to Rick Moore on June 11, to Chloe Dalrymple on the 20th and to Bennett Kinningham on the 23rd!

Happy Anniversary to Richard and Elaine Shankle and Frank and Marlene Brown on June 20, to Bill and Carolyn Murray, Terry and Karen Wall and Brandon and Jill Matlock on the 21st, to Luke and Jennifer McMahan on the 23rd, to Mike and Bonita Rogers on the 24th and to Jimmy and Kathy McMahan on the 25th!

Well Neal and I have advanced over to the Facebook craze. We are such a pair. Visualize this, Neal and I propped up on pillows in bed with our reading glasses on, checking out our Facebook before we go to sleep. No, we aren't watching the news or reading; now we have our iPhones just a working, looking at all the

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

Fort Wright, Randolph, Mid-June 1861 On June 18th, William H. Russell, English war correspondent, and General Gideon Pillow, arrived at Randolph to inspect the fortification. On landing, a brass band played â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;God Save the Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dixieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

A map and information given to Russell indicated that 4,000 soldiers were at the fort with 6 field cannon, 19 heavy artillery mounted in five batteries, and 3 cannon â&#x20AC;&#x153;lying in the dust close to the landing.â&#x20AC;? A smaller battery of 2 field pieces were located northeast of the town.

Soldiers were bathing; some digging on the

fortifications; some drilling and some lounging.

He wrote that the batteries were â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ill-constructedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and only one of the powder magazines was â&#x20AC;&#x153;under decent cover.â&#x20AC;? He noted â&#x20AC;&#x153;for five weeks, the Tennessee troops under the command of General Pillowâ&#x20AC;Śhave been working on a series of curious intrenchments.â&#x20AC;?

Russell described these as resembling â&#x20AC;&#x153;mud beaver damsâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;complicated.â&#x20AC;? General Pillow informed the troops that â&#x20AC;&#x153;hired laborers and negroesâ&#x20AC;? would soon be sent to the post to complete the work on the fortifications.

The various campsites were composed of 15-20 tents â&#x20AC;&#x153;scattered for healthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sake over the plateau.â&#x20AC;? He wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The men were dressed and looked like laboring peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;(railway laborers) small farmers, mechanics with some small, undersized lads.

The majority were in their shirt sleeves, and

the awkwardness with which they handled their arms showed that, however good they might be as shots, they were by no means proficient in manual exercise. Indeed, they could not be, as they have only been five weeks in the service of the State, called out in anticipation of the Secession vote and since then they have been employed by Gen. Pillow on his fortificationsâ&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their tents, small ridge poles, are very bad, but suited, perhaps, to the transport.

Each contains six men.

I could get no accurate account of their rations even from the QuarterMaster General, and Commissary-General there was none present; but I was told that they had â&#x20AC;&#x153;a sufficiency of from three quarters of a pound to one and a quarter pounds of meat, of bread, of sugar, of coffee and rice daily.â&#x20AC;? Neither spirits nor tobacco is served out to these terrible chewers and not unaccomplished drink-

ers.

There were few of the soldiers in any kind of uniforms, and such uniforms as I saw were in very bad taste, and consisted of gaudy facings and stripes on very strange garments.

They were armed with old-fashioned percussion muskets and their ammunition pouches were of diverse sorts.

Shoes, often bad, knapsacks scarce, headpieces of every kind of shape, badges worked on the front or sides, tinsel in much request. Every man had a tin water flask and a blanket.â&#x20AC;?

The Memphis Bulletin published a more positive account of the fort: â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is one striking peculiarity about this stronghold. In ascending the heights which command the mighty river for ten or twelve miles, one is constantly surprised by encountering troops and heavy guns where they are least expected. The earth-

en breastworks have been sodded with grass, and on the exterior do not differ in appearance from other portions of the ragged heights.

The visitor is constantly surprised by finding himself at the very cannonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mouth. The earthworks are from twenty to thirty feet in thickness, and are no less defensible on the river than on the landward side.

In both directions nature has made the fortifications almost inaccessible...

There is but one narrow defile on the landward side by which it is possible for an attacking force to reach the defenses; this is defended by heavy guns, which sweep the defile for more than a mile... and a quarter or half a mile east of this on the hillside, commanding the valley, is a crescent-shaped wall with the open side next to the main fortifications. It seems to us that this outpost would be impregnable, supported as it is by the main batteries.â&#x20AC;?

man while another was placed in the guardhouse for fighting. Private Logan Burton of the 13th Tennessee Infantry sickened at Fort Wright and was sent on board the steamboat Ingomar, to Memphis. En route Burton died June 21.

Soldiers from the infantry regiments at Randolph comprised an honor guard and escorted the body to the Memphis Gayoso Hotel where the body lay in state prior to the last rites. A newspaper noted this was the first military funeral held in Memphis.

On Tuesday, June 21, the United Methodist Church Women’s annual Salad Tasting Luncheon at First United Methodist Church in Covington was another success.

This was Carliss Chastain’s sixth year to be a co-chair for the event. Chastain, president of the UMC Women at FUMC Covington, looks forward to planning the big luncheon every year.

“It’s all about team work,” she said.

“All able members contribute as much as they can. It’s great delegating tasks and working with them.”

After the members sign up to bring food, the FUMC congregation pitched in around 100 salads. They all helped make 450 cupcakes.

Chastain estimates that each year they serve around 325 people, but she thinks it grows each year.

“We’ve had to come up with a

new layout to make the luncheon go smoother and to accomodate growth.”

Though they went up a little in price from $5 per person to $7, eaters are still sure to get the bang for their buck.

Each year, singers from women’s groups from around the Mid-South come and provide some music entertainment. On Tuesday, a group from Martin shared in the festivities.

The FUMC youth director also got the youth to help bus tables and help in the kitchen.

Chastain explained that planning for the luncheon must begin months in advance. Each January, the UMC Women start getting ready for the year’s Salad Tasting Luncheon six months before the event.

“We try to do something different every year. The crowd gets here an hour before the doors open and stand in line,” she said. “If they want to wait in line that’s sure fine with me.”

BEHIND THE ARTS

BY ECHO DAY

Celebrating a century

Editor’s note: This is the fifth 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.

Usually our day trips take us to different areas of West Tennessee, but this week we're staying close to home for a special event celebrating Atoka's centennial.

This weekend, June 24-26, the town will be a flurry of activities for a oncein-a-lifetime celebration. The committee has been working diligently since November, coordinating booth rentals, compiling a cookbook, researching history and any and every other task you might imagine in order to pull off a three-day event of this kind.

And I think everyone should go. Let these volunteers know you appreciate their hard work, let this town know you value its history and its people. A town's centennial celebration doesn't come around very often.

Plus, there's a lot to see and a lot to do. Organizers and sponsors have worked together to make sure the family-friendly event is inexpensive as well; most of the activities come at no cost to event-goers. Here's are my top picks for things to see and do (check out the special section in this week's edition for more information):

1

PIE-EATING CONTESTS

I'm a big fan of pie-eating contests and hope to get it on the action Saturday! There will also be a watermelon-eating contest if pie isn't your thing.

The contests, I'm told, will take place several times throughout the day under the pavilion in Nancy Lane Park.

2

ARTS, CRAFTS & PLENTY OF EATS

Don't miss the art in Adkison Park displayed by the Tipton Art League or the many craft vendors spread through both parks. Of course one big draw for crowds is festival food and the centennial celebration will have plenty of it! I'm looking forward to the Tex-Mex food (stuffed jalapenos, anyone?) and Ms. Patsy Fee's fried pies.

CROSSING HER T'S AND DOTTING HER I'S Calligrapher Peggy Kunkel has been at it for 21 years, having become quite the practiced artist. At left, she practices letter forms in her home studio. Kunkel explains, at right, how she has recently begun creating illustrations to supplement her works. Here, she shows a homemade book containing a poem by e.e. cummings in calligraphy with illustrations accompanying each page. Photos by Tyler Lindsey

The pen is mightier than the sword

Covington artist emphasizes the importance of recognizing artists' individuality

By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com Though some may call calligraphy a dying art, Covington resident Peggy Kunkel has been keeping it very much alive.

Hailing from Chicago, Ill., Kunkel moved to Memphis with her husband, Keith, from Iowa where she became involved with the Memphis Calligraphy Guild in 1990. She has been immersed in calligraphy ever since.

Coming from the Greek words for beauty and writing, calligraphy is a type of visual art involving typography created by hand.

Kunkel remembers vividly what triggered her love for individualizing bodies of words through creating hand-made typography, both fanciful and simple.

“Keith and I were at the Mid-South Fair,” she said.

“The guild had a booth there and they were writing names for people in calligraphy. I said, ‘I want to learn how to do that.’

So I joined and I’ve been involved ever since.”

Having been president of the Memphis Calligraphy Guild from 1999-2000, the Kunkels moved to Tipton County in 2005 and Peggy joined the Tipton Art League in 2009. She has shared her

practice in Western styles of calligraphy including forms of blackletter, Celtic styles, Roman lettering and more free-form script styles with participants in many calligraphy workshops that the Tipton Art League organizes.

While she gets commissioned for wedding invitations and programs and for bodies of text, such as poems that people want done, her vast portfolio of work makes evident her passion for things like passages from The Holy Bible, Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech and just beautiful lettering in and of itself.

When asked why she just doesn’t type some text and print it, she quickly said, “Type is perfection.

It produces the same thing time after time. If you want something done with some individuality, then you want a calligrapher.

Kunkel went on to explain that irregularity in each character’s style, size and color enhances the meaning to the group of words. “A calligrapher never creates the same thing twice in the same way,” she said.

Though Kunkel appreciates all types of calligraphy, that hasn’t always been the case.

“A movement began

Deeply rooted in Western calligraphy styles, Kunkel has studied medieval illuminated manuscripts. Above, she has stayed true to the subject's history and has incorporated real gold leaf into her work created on vellum instead of paper.

to take place in calligraphy that was very contemporary and abstract. I couldn’t appreciate it,” she said. “I couldn’t appreciate it because I couldn’t understand it. But I began to understand it and how hard it is to make it. Now I appreciate it the value of it.

It was definitely due to my growing as an artist.”

Since an affirmation from a well-known Californian calligrapher, Marcia Brady (with a well-known name), Kunkel has come full-circle since the early days of her life as an artist. “(Brady) told me to pick a body of text and repeat it over and over again. I picked the Shel Silverstein poem ‘Benjamin Bunnn.’

Brady took one look at mine and said, ‘Frame that.’

That felt good coming from her.”

During her artistic growth over the years, Kunkel has often compared herself with a fellow calligrapher whose work she thinks is great.

As a result she, like many other artists, oftentimes became dismayed because she couldn’t produce work like his. But she soon was graced with an epiphany.

Like the individualization characteristic of calligraphy, Kunkel realized she was her own artist who produced her own different work. Since then, her peace of mind has enabled her to appreciate great work and then move on.

And the answer is...

By PASTOR FREEMAN WEEMS First Baptist Church of Atoka It is easy to point out errors and problems. Usually everyone sees them as well as we. It is in finding an answer to problems that divisions of philosophy and values are revealed. Liberal politicians see people with a need and expect government to answer the call. Conservatives see the same need, but want to enable people to deal with their own problems. The decay of morality and even civility in American culture is widely known.

Government bureaucrats want us to teach sex education under the guise of family planning and enhancement at younger and younger ages. Somehow a large part of the apparatus that trains teachers has committed itself solidly to the advancement of a decidedly liberal agenda, considering it either a superior level of education or as the core of knowledge necessary for today's world.

Liberals and conservatives both see the rising rate of illegitimate births, increasing gang violence, the ravages of poverty, and decreasing respect for both government and those who labor to make it function. The difficulty arises when answers are sought.

In a nut shell, liberalism seeks to use government to cure the ills of

society. This approach is being compassionate with some else's resources and money. It seeks to address the issue, but creates yet more by using the force and weight of the government to make people cooperate with the ideas of a few elitists in Washington. Conservatism, on the other hand, sees

the issues and seeks to address them with minimal governmental involvement. It is a good approach, but it usually take time to see results. During that transition period from seeing the problem to affecting a cure or remedy, people still hurt and have needs. Americans are an impatient people, we

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH

have been geared to everything being done NOW. So just what is the answer, or maybe we should ask, is there a single answer to all the ills of society, both at home and abroad. I am convinced there is a single answer and that it will work within all cultures; that answer is a return to biblical Christianity.

I know that sounds simplistic, doesn't it? The reality is not that Christianity has been tried and found wanting, it is that we have not lived up to its teachings and truths.

Christians changed the world during the Roman Empire. It was biblical Christianity that stopped the slave trade and demanded an end to child labor. Practical application of true Christianity always makes a positive impact on society.

The approach of keeping one's spiritual life personal and separate from everything else has failed miserably, and will always do so. It is time for the Lord's people to speak up and out on the issues of the day. We have the answer and it is Christ in you the hope of glory.

Money will not solve the problem of depravity in the hearts of men.

Only grace can do that. The answer is Christ.

E911 BOARD MEETING Tuesday 28 JUNE 2011 @ 05:00PM COVINGTON CITY HALL 200 WASHINGTON ST. COVINGTON, TN OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

Correction for Mason Water Report 2010 that ran June 16, 2011.

Mason Water System Water Quality Report 2010 Is my drinking water safe?

Yes, our water meets all of EPA’s health standards. We have conducted numerous tests for over 80 contaminants that may be in drinking water. As you’ll see in the chart on the back, we only detected 6 of these contaminants. We found all of these contaminants at safe levels.

What is the source of my water?

Your water, which is ground water, comes from the Memphis Sand Aquifer. Our goal is to protect our water from contaminants and we are working with the State to determine the vulnerability of our water source to potential contamination. The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) has prepared a Source Water Assessment Program (SWAP) Report for the untreated water sources serving water to this water system. The SWAP Report assesses the susceptibility of untreated water sources to potential contamination. To ensure safe drinking water, all public water systems treat and routinely test their water.

Water sources have been rated as reasonably susceptible, moderately susceptible or slightly susceptible based on geologic factors and human activities in the vicinity of the water source. The Town of Mason’s sources rated as reasonably susceptible to potential contamination.

An explanation of Tennessee’s Source Water Assessment Program, the Source Water Assessment summaries, susceptibility scorings and the overall TDEC report to EPA can be viewed online at www.state.tn.us/environment/dws/dwassess.php or you may contact the Water System to obtain copies of specific assessments.

Why are there contaminants in my water?

Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants.

Community water systems are required to disclose the detection of contaminants; however, bottled water companies are not required to comply with this regulation. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

For more information about your drinking water, please call Chris Trimble at (901) 294-2308.

How can I get involved?

Our Water Board meets on the second Monday at 7:00 p.m. at The Mason City Hall. . Please feel free to participate in these meetings.

Is our water system meeting other rules that govern our operations?

The State and EPA require us to test and report on our water on a regular basis to ensure its safety. We have met all of these requirements. Results of unregulated contaminant analysis are available upon request. We want you to know that we pay attention to all the rules.

Other Information Due to all water containing dissolved contaminants, occasionally your water may exhibit slight discoloration. We strive to maintain the standards to prevent this. We at The Town of Mason work around the clock to provide top quality water to every tap. We ask that all our customers help us protect our water sources, which are the heart of our community, our way of life and our children’s future.

Do I need to take special precautions?

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have under-gone organ transplants, people with HIV/ AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about not only their drinking water, but food preparation, personal hygiene, and precautions in handling infants and pets from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

Water System Security Following the events of September 2001, we realize that our customers are concerned about the security of their drinking water.

We urge the public to report any suspicious activities at any utility facilities, including treatment plants, tanks, fire hydrants, etc. to (901) 294-3525

Water Quality Data What does this chart mean?

• MCLG: Maximum Contaminant Level Goal, or the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.

• MCL: Maximum Contaminant Levels, or the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. To understand the possible health effects described for many regulated constituents, a person would have to drink 2 liters of water every day at the MCL level for a lifetime to have a one-in-a-million chance of having the described health effect.

• MRDL: Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level or MRDL - The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for the control of microbial contaminants.

• MRDLG: Maximum residual disinfectant level goal. The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants.

• AL - Action Level, or the concentration of a contaminant which, when exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.

• Below Detection Limit (BDL) - laboratory analysis indicates that the contaminant falls below the state's required detection level..

• Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/l) - explained as a relation to time and money as one part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in $10,000.

• Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter - explained as a relation to time and money as one part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000.

Lead and Copper: During the most recent round of Lead and Copper testing, 0 out of 11 households sampled contained concentration exceeding the action level.

Iron: Iron occurs naturally in our raw water and occasionally accumulates in the distribution system. Iron shows up as “red” or “rusty” water at your tap. Although you do not want to drink water that is not clear, iron is not considered to be a hazard to your health. We test for iron daily and it is usually around 0.02 ppm. The aesthetic limit for iron is 0.3 ppm.

Lead: If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. The City of Covington is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead

Chase to legislators: Stay out of TWRAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business

By BETTY BEAN The Shopper News, Knoxville Mike Chase is a tough guy who has had a spectacularly successful career in the restaurant industry. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a fixture in Tennessee business and politics for two decades and his 17-restaurant Copper Cellar Corp. stretches from Gatlinburg to Nashville.

He is a Democrat whose support is courted by both major parties and friends occasionally kid him about a passing resemblance to Tony Soprano.

Those who know him best, however, say heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happiest when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fishing.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably why he lights up when he talks about his six years on the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Commission, which oversees the operations of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.

Chase was appointed by former Gov. Phil Bredesen and served as chair in 2010 and until his term was up earlier this year. He is an enthusiastic booster of the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think most people know that the agency doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any money from the state. It is totally selffunded through hunting and fishing license sales.

One of the things I would like to see is a portion of the sales of all boating, fishing and hunting licenses go to fund the agency,â&#x20AC;? Chase said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sale of hunting licenses has been on the decline for years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the average person realizes what a wildlife officer has to deal with on a daily basis,â&#x20AC;? he said, mentioning a wildlife officer who worked a 20-hour shift dealing with a woman who had two fingers ripped off in a water skiing accident and a bear that was sighted and trapped in South Knoxville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I wonder if the average person realizes that the management job the agency does has made hunting what it is today in the state of Tennessee.

Twenty years ago, we probably had wild turkeys in six or eight counties. Now, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all over the place.

Something like 36-38,000 of them are harvested every

year. The same thing can be said for deer, and the same has taken place in our lakes and reservoirs and rivers for fishing. Look at the trout below Norris Dam or in the Caney Fork River.

Somebody has to raise and stock these trout. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a hunter or a fisherman, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve sure got to give credit to somebody.â&#x20AC;?

Chase is modest about his role in shaping policy, but says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proud of prodding the agency to spend money on hatcheries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since I have such an interest in fishing, I wanted to get our hatcheries to where we could start meeting the needs of fishermen out there as far as producing fish. Most of our lakes are past their prime as far as fishing goes, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s necessary to restock them.

Under Gov. Bredesen, there was a strong emphasis on state parks and tourism, and this is part of it. Our lakes need to be attractive to out-of-staters who come to fish. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an important part of our economy and economic development for the future. I felt it was very important.â&#x20AC;?

Chase said politics never played a part in the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decisions but sometimes were imposed from the

outside. He is, for example, adamantly opposed to Rep. Frank Niceleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deer farming bill, which was defeated this session. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In listening to the people I knew whom I have to respect, it would have been a very bad thing for wildlife in the state of Tennessee.

Sometimes I think some of the legislators resent the independence of the commission â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the reason the commission was set up â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to keep it separate from the political in Nashville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The agency has to be constantly monitoring whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on and try not to let these private acts pass. There would be different rules in every county.

There would be no statewide enforcement, especially for the last two years because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been such a change in Nashville. Even a few bills, which have been withdrawn, to allow the Legislature to appoint commissioners and even put legislators on the commission, I personally think would be the death of the commission. The existing format has been working with great success and they need to leave it alone. Leave the commission alone.

Leave the agency alone.â&#x20AC;?
