hat is more tasty or refreshing than locally grown fruits and vegetables at Covington’s Farmers Market? For those who frequent it, there isn’t such a place that’s a one-stop shop for those important nutritious foods.

On June 17, the Farmers Market opened for business a year nearly to the day after its grand opening on June 18, 2010. Its location is on the historic Covington Court Square on the corner of North Main and Spring streets underneath Covington’s water tank.

The market serves as a central location for farmers to sell their goods locally without being scattered throughout the county. Tipton County Chamber of Commerce executive director Lee Johnston explained that the farmers market, thought it is a for-profit effort, is meant to serve this purpose and nothing more.

“It will never pay for itself,” he said of the $80,000 project developed through the Covington Economic Development Corporation. “It’s meant to be a service to the community.”

Shooting victim in ‘good’ shape

O’er the land of the free

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com MUNFORD – It was a weekend of food, family, fireworks and fun, all in the celebration of freedom.

On Monday, July 4, the City of Munford, in conjunction with non-profit organization Celebrate Munford, Inc., hosted the annual Celebrate Independence event in City Park.

The Navy band “Freedom” made another appearance in Munford, bringing with them a great blend of classical tunes and classic rock.

“The crowd was huge, the atmosphere was fantastic and the fireworks were terrific,” said mayor Dwayne Cole.

As children hung from monkey bars and families gathered on the lawn in front of the gazebo, band boosters and the library board sold treats and glowing necklaces.

“The cool and intriguing part is that this creates a sense of unity and community,” said Cole. “People were gathering in the park, in their backyards, in parking lots around the city and

After being shot in the head at his Main Street home on Monday, an Atoka man remains in good condition, a representative from the Regional Medical Center (The MED) in Memphis said Wednesday.

At approximately 9:10 p.m., officers were dispatched to the 100 block of North Main after shots were fired.

Police say the victim, 45-year-old Malcolm Allen, was shot multiple times.

The extent of his injuries has not been released by the Atoka police department, though sources say he was shot in the hand and a bullet grazed his head. He was transported to the MED for treatment.

A suspect, who has not been named, has been questioned by police. He has not yet been charged.

visiting with other people. It’s a fabulous thing.”

At dusk, once the band ended its performance, fireworks burst over the city, illuminating the sky behind the massive American flag which traditionally hangs from the fire department’s ladder

truck. It was a sight like no other and the crowd was pleased with the show.

“I thought the finale was fabulous,” Cole said. “I don’t remember a time when it was better.”

Group looks to return to patriotic principals

By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com Wanting to help Tipton County residents remember the principals the founding fathers set forth more 235 years ago, Covington residents Cynthia Holt and Lesa Joyner held their own celebration on July 4 at Covington’s Shelton Park and invited the county to attend.

At first it was in response to the threat of the scheduled July 4 Muslim Million Man March on Washington.

Then it became an opportunity to educate and spread the word that America needed to return its founding principals, as well as educating citizens on the incompatibility of Muslim Sharia law with American ideology.

Holt and Joyner are the Tipton County representatives of a newly formed grassroots movement called the Patriot Defense Association.

The recently established group’s website states their main purpose is to restore America to the foundations set forth by the founding fathers, including a strong faith

in Jesus Christ, a democracy that protects the liberties of all human beings and a small government which promotes a strong economy and allows its people to develop its God-given talents without government intrusion or oppression.

“We are trying to educate the American people and bring restoration of our founding fathers,” said group member Noah Beach. “We want to bring back faith in American and make people aware of our constitution and what it means. Basically, we’re trying to educate people to help them realize that the government is taking away our freedoms.”

Although the Muslim Million Man March was cancelled, Holt, Joyner and other members of their group decided to spend their American Independence Day handing out American flags, pamphlets and DVDs on the dangers of Sharia law.

“We are not the only ones doing this today,” said Joyner. “There are demonstrations being conducted all across America today. We are

trying to put one of these in everybody’s hands,” she added showing a booklet of the U.S. Constitution.

“We want to give out information on Sharia law,” said Holt. “We want people to know that Sharia law is against everything that our constitution stands for. It’s against our freedoms and we want people to stand up for their freedoms.”

Holt explained she first became aware of the

Muslim march through a Facebook group.

“They were to march on Washington to demand Sharia law and a group of us got together and said, ‘No, you can’t do that in our country and especially not on our birthday,’” said Holt.

After receiving permission from the City of Covington to hold an informational meeting in Shelton Park, the group set up a display table with various pamphlets

highlighting their agendas.

“We’re all like-minded,” said Joyner of the group’s members. “We’re forming a little group of patriots that want to stand together for our rights and to protect our country. We need to get back to the constitution and we need to get God back into our schools.”

“One major point we want to stress to people is we are not against Muslims,” said Holt.

“That’s not what this is about. We’re against the political ideology of Sharia law in America and not all Muslims follow Sharia law. But we do want people to be aware that Sharia law is not compatible with our freedoms given to us by our constitution.”

Covington loses state city planner All Day Lawn An investment that GROWS

The loss of Covington’s city planner results from new state administration

By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com Due to the State of Tennessee’s new administration, the city of Covington was faced with the prospect of losing their city planner during the recent June 28 city board meeting.

Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam has decided to eliminate the Local Planning Assistance Office, which leaves many communities in West Tennessee without a city planner.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen for the City of Covington received a memorandum from the current state provided planner, Will Radford, to continue providing those services to the city as an independent contractor.

Covington currently pays $9,250 a years to the Department of Economic and Community Development for planning services. Radford’s proposal would be to continue providing the same services he has been providing the city for the past four years but at a reduced amount of $8,400 a year or $700 a month. In exchange, Radford’s proposal explained to the board he would attend every planning commission meeting, be available by phone or email, maintain the City’s Municipal and Regional Zoning Ordinance and Municipal and Regional Subdivision Regulations, review subdivision plats, site plans and write all proposed amendments to the zoning ordinance, subdivision regulations and by-laws. If Radford were unable to attend a monthly meeting, the city would be required to pay a reduced fee of $350 but if a meeting were cancelled, the entire $700 for the month would be due.

Radford presented his proposal

to the board on a six-month trial contract beginning on Aug.1 with a 90-day termination notification.

One the trial period is completed the city would enter into a one year self-renewing contract.

“We were actually wondering how we were going to approach this,” said Covington Mayor David Gordon. “Radford’s proposal is actually a savings to the city. He is familiar with the city, and works well with the Planning Commission.

The Planning Commission is recommending this as well.”

The board voted to accept Radford’s proposal of a six-month trial contract.

Also, during the board meeting, Covington Police Chief Bennie Carver presented a proposal to change the employee handbook’s definition of immediate family members in regards to employment of relatives. His request would change the current definition which defines relatives to include, “parents, spouse, child, sibling, mother and father-in-law, stepchild, stepparent, grandparents, uncle, aunt, first cousin, nephew, niece or half-sibling,” to include only, parents, siblings, spouse and child.

Alderman John Edwards asked, “Are we saying it is alright for a son-in-law to supervise a fatherin-law or step-parent to supervise a step-child?”

Chief Carver explained that he felt the prior list was too broad.

Alderman William “Ed” Timberlake also said he felt the same way.

“One thing that stood out in my mind is when it says cousins, half the people in town are cousins,” said Timberlake. “It was just too wide for a small town.”

$

Mayor Gordon pointed out that voting for the requested change does not make it effective.

“It will require three readings and a public hearing before the change is official,” reminded the mayor.

Gordon announced to the board that he was approving the reappointments of Keith McCalla to the Covington Electric System Board, Ginny Robbins to the Historic Commission, Thomas Taylor to the Planning Commission and Sue Rose to the Board of Zoning Appeals.

The mayor also reminded the board that the city just completed the sixth year of Music on the Square.

“The series this year was excellent entertainment,” said Gordon.

“The events were well-attended with between 250-450 people on the square enjoying the free concerts, the fellowship and already looking towards what we’re going to do next year.”

City Treasurer/Recorder Jere Hadley reported to the board the city collected $248,295 in sales tax for the month of April. This amount represents an increase of 1.1 percent or $2,596 over the same time last year. The year-to-date collection totals $2,467,211, a significant increase of 3.7 over last year.

“I want to say thanks to the people of Covington for shopping at home,” said Timberlake. “It helps pay the bills.”

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen meet the second and fourth Tuesday of every month at City Hall at 5:30p.m. The public is invited and encouraged to attend.

CFD to bolster fire prevention efforts Covington Fire Department uses FM Global Grant to aid fire prevention

COVINGTON, Tenn.— The Covington Fire Department has received a $2,580 fire prevention grant from FM Global, one of the world’s largest commercial property insurers.

FM Global representative Jacob Lang presented the award to grant writer Lee Wallace at the Covington Fire Dept. The award will be used to assist with pre-fire planning to efficiently collect and track data related to local community buildings. The information will help the fire service respond in an emergency situation.

Because fire continues to be the leading cause of property damage worldwide, during the past 35 years FM Global has contributed millions of dollars in fire prevention grants to fire service organizations around the globe. Locally, the company has awarded grants to a number of Tennesseebased organizations.

“At FM Global, we strongly believe the majority of property damage is preventable, not inevitable,” said Michael Spaziani, manager of

the fire prevention grant program. “Far too often, inadequate budgets prevent those organizations working to prevent fire from being as proactive as they would like to be.

With additional financial support, grant recipients are actively helping to improve property risk in the communities they serve.”

Through its Fire Prevention Grant Program, FM Global awards grants quarterly to fire departments—as well as national, state, regional, local and community organizations worldwide—that best demonstrate a need for funding, where dollars can have the most demonstrable impact on preventing fire, or mitigating the damage it can quickly cause.

To learn more about FM Global’s Fire Prevention Grant Program, or to apply for a grant, please visit www.fmglobal. com/grants.

For more than 175 years, many of the world’s largest organizations have turned to FM Global to develop costeffective property insur-

ance and engineering solutions to protect their business operations from fire, natural disasters and other types of property risk. With clients in more than 130 countries, FM Global ranks #570 among FORTUNE magazine’s largest companies in America and is rated A+ (Superior) by A.M. Best and AA (Very Strong) by

Fitch Ratings. The company has been named “Best Property Insurer in the World” by Euromoney magazine, “Best Global Property Insurer” by Global Finance magazine and was voted “Best Commercial Property Insurer” in Business Insurance’s 2010 annual Readers Choice Awards.

Dean sentenced in tax fraud case

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com A former candidate for county clerk is serving time in a federal prison for preparing false returns, Edward L. Stanton III, the United States Attorney for the Western District of Tennessee, announced Friday.

Though she was indicted on 38 counts of aiding and assisting in the preparations of false tax returns in November 2009, Pamela Dean pleaded guilty in January 2011 to only one count as part of a plea agreement.

“The United States Attorney’s Office … aggressively pursues those who prepare false tax returns,” Stanton said. “Our efforts are sending a clear message to the promoters of tax fraud schemes to stop their activity, as well as

a warning to would-be promoters that tax fraud leads to prison time.”

Dean operated Dean’s Tax Service in Covington, preparing returns from 2003-2007. The federal indictment alleged the returns prepared by Dean contained deductions, expenses, exemptions and credits which the individuals were not entitled to claim.

Some of the returns, the Department of Justice said, claimed a false filing status. The false items on the returns consisted of false Schedule C business expenses, false Schedule A itemized deductions, fraudulent exemptions and false earned income and child tax credits.

According to the plea agreement filed for the hearing, Dean acknowledged that the tax loss to the United States is $153,052.

Though she’d been indicted the year prior, in 2010 Pamela Dean filed to run for the office of Tipton County Clerk in 2010, an office vacated by an outgoing county clerk of a similar name.

Dean received more than 1,400 votes, a result which some candidates say is attributed to having a name similar to the outgoing clerk, Pam Deen, only as Dean did not campaign for the office.

Sentenced last week, Dean will spend 18 months in a federal prison followed by one year of supervised release. U.S. District Judge Jon P. McCalla also ordered her to pay $5,000 in fines.

The maximum penalty was reportedly three years in prison and $250,000.

If Dean’s rights are restored, she may be eligible to run for office again.

Friday, July 1, Charlotte Parnell of Covington said, “Everything is just so fresh. I definitely believe in buying locally and keeping my business at home.”

Parnell raved about the convenience the market offered.

“It’s nice not to have to drive to Memphis or out of the county.

I bought watermelons and tomatoes today. I’ll probably come back for some peaches.”

Throughout the summer, buyers can find peaches, apples, tomatoes, okra, squash, canteloupe, watermelon, corn, blackberries, raspberries and many other kinds

of fruits and vegetables.

Mike and Brenda Ray are farmers who sell their goods at the farmers market. The Rays are more than enthusiastic about why they come there for business.

“It was Mike’s idea to do this,” said Brenda. “It just makes sense for us all to be in one place rather than scattered out. It’s nice up here; we got the fans going and it’s good to meet all the people.”

The farmers market is open on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. until an undetermined date probably around Oct. 15.

OFF THE RECORD

Breastfeeding in public now legal As the beginning of a new fiscal year, on July 1, many Tennessee laws went into effect, making it illegal to have sky lantern fireworks (so sorry, no reenactments of that deliriously beautiful scene from “Tangled”) or share your Netflix password (really, Tennessee?).

But as of July 1, many mothers are breathing a sigh of relief knowing they are now legally permitted to breastfeed babies older than a year in public.

Of all of the non-issue laws passed in this state, this is legislation I’m happy to see approved, but I think it’s ridiculous that this is even something OFF THE RECORD that needs to be passed by the E CHO DAY Tennessee General Assembly.

Moms, we have only had the right to breastfeed our babies (under a year old) in public since 2006.

I’d like to go on record and say that I am guilty of feeding my youngest in Walmart, at Wolfchase Mall, at Perkins and anywhere else I found myself, public or not, where she was hungry and needed to be fed.

(I didn’t know it wasn’t legal until last week.)

As great as this victory is for those who breastfeed and those breastfeed their children for an extended period of time, the better question is why wasn’t this legal before now?

Last month, a group of mothers held a sit-in at a Memphis Social Security Administration office after one was told she would need to either leave or go into the bathroom if she was going to breastfeed her child. If I was still breastfeeding, I would have likely joined them.

Why? Because I don’t believe an infant or toddler should have to eat his breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack in the bathroom. Every time I eat out I see people who offend me with their bad manners and gross habits next to me, but I don’t ask them to eat in the bathroom. And why would I? Bathrooms are places where we expel our waste, not eat our food.

Many people do not agree with this law, believSEE RECORD, PAGE A5

Finding our better angels On Monday we celebrated 235 years of American independence.

Through these years we have seen tremendous accomplishments as America grew from a startup agricultural nation with predominantly rural populations to the superpower nation of the world. Of course, some may questions whether we are JIM HARDIN still “the” superpower nation, but there is no debating that America’s rise to prominence in industry, military might, technology, economic strength, and as a cultural purveyor (I’m not always so proud of the latter, but generally I prefer our culture).

When you think about it, we are not so far removed from Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, Adams and the robust voice of Patrick Henry. Just consider this: If you have grandparents aged 80, they were born in 1931. They would have known folks born in 1851 or earlier, who in turn would have known people born when our nation was fighting for Independence. You see, we are such a young nation as nations go.

One of the most amazing aspects of America is how once we settled in as a nation, outside of the Civil War the United States has remained relatively free from continuous revolutions, massive Constitutional rewrites, and violent civil strife. As diverse as we are as a nation, it is amazing how well we actually get along with each other. We have had our differences as a people, but we do a very good job of keeping them from turning violent. Our Founders did a remarkable job, combined with a little Divine Providence, in fashioning a system that allows for venting differences in political, social, religious and other opinions on just about every topic imaginable.

We have had serious divisions and discord, but somehow we generally find a way to return to “our better angels” as Lincoln would say. Perhaps one of the greatest examples of this is the relationship between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Initially, they were compatriots in the cause of liberty, both playing a pivotal role in shaping American independence. But, as the colonies became a nation, political differences would emerge that would divide men who once fought side-by-side during the Revolution.

John Adams was an unpopular president, often because the Jeffersonians continually lambasted his policies and presidential demeanor. The Election of 1800 was vicious, with supporters from each side spreading wild rumors about the candidates and their family members. Jefferson won a huge victory, with John Adams sneaking out of Washington the morning of the inauguration. Jefferson would go on to serve 8 years as president while Adams retired to private life with Abigail in Massachusetts.

One thing about it, the entire school, not just the room class, knew you were not absent with sulfur and molasses emitting an odor from Rosemark University to Beaver Valley. No matter whether it was right or wrong, this was just way of life.

Know your investment risks and how to respond

By EDWARD JONES Special to The Leader

When you invest, you take some risks. While you can’t totally avoid these risks, you can take steps to help reduce their impact and increase your comfort level. And the more comfortable you are with your investments, the easier it will be to follow a long-term strategy that can help you meet your goals.

Let’s look at the most common types of risk related to investing, along with some suggestions on helping to reduce these risks: Losing principal This type of risk is most closely associated with investing. For example, when you purchase a stock, you know that its value could go up or down. If it drops below your purchase price, and you then sell your shares, you will lose some of your principal.

Your response: You can’t eliminate the risk of losing principal, but by owning a mix of stocks, bonds, government securities and other types of investments,

you can help reduce the impact of volatility on your portfolio.

Keep in mind, though, that diversification, by itself, can’t guarantee a profit or protect against loss.

FINANCIAL FOCUS

repurchased by the issuer. (You can help protect against this by purchasing bonds that have some degree of “call protection” and by owning bonds with different maturities.)

STEVEN J. JONES

Losing value when interest rates change This type of risk primarily affects fixed-income investments, such as bonds. If you purchase a bond that pays, say, a 4% interest rate, and the market rate goes up to 5%, then the value of your bond will drop because no one will be willing to pay you the full price for it when newer, higheryielding bonds are available.

Your response: You can combat, or even ignore, interest rate risk by holding your bonds until they mature. By doing so, you’ll get your full principal back, provided the issuer doesn’t default, and you’ll continue to receive regular interest payments unless the bonds are “called,” or

Losing purchasing power This risk largely applies to fixed-rate investments such as certificates of deposit (CDs).

To illustrate: If you purchase a CD that pays 2%, and the inflation rate is 3%, you are actually losing purchasing power.

Your response: Despite their vulnerability to inflation, CDs can offer you some valuable benefits, such as preservation of principal. Yet if you are concerned about fighting inflation, you may want to look for investments than have the potential to offer rising income, such as dividend-paying stocks. In fact, you can find stocks that have increased their dividends for many consecutive years. (Be aware, though, that companies can reduce or eliminate

dividends at any time.

Also, an investment in stocks fluctuates, and you could lose your principal.)

Apart from these individual techniques to reduce investmentrelated risk, you should also save early and save often — because the more money you accumulate, the greater your ability to follow a longterm strategy that reflects your personal risk tolerance. That’s why it’s a good idea to contribute as much as possible over the years to your IRA and 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan.

By understanding the different types of investment risk, and by acting to help lessen them, you can reduce much of the stress sometimes associated with investing — while you increase your prospects for achieving your objectives.This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

HARDIN

Continued from A4 For years the men who had started as friends in the Revolution and ended bitter political enemies would not make contact. After Jefferson’s retirement, Dr. Benjamin Rush would write to each imploring that they renew their friendship and make contact. Both would argue they had no ill feelings and no reason to correspond.

Then in 1818, John’s beloved Abigail Adams passed away. Upon hearing the news, Jefferson wrote a moving letter of sympathy, recalling the times when Abigail was a surrogate mother to his own children who had lost their mother. This letter began a dialogue and renewed friendship that would last until July 4, 1826, 50 years to the date of the Declaration, when both men would die within hours of each other.

You see, despite serious political differences, each man had contributed to forging a system that ensured a peaceful transition of government would take place, and that America would culturally remain a nation where time and opportunity would allow those “better angels” to return, no matter how deep the political differences.

RECORD

Continued from A4 ing public breastfeeding to be indecent, yet the porn industry remains a thriving business in this country. If you can look at them on the cover of a magazine, on a television show, on stage in a strip club, then why are you opposed to women using them for their intended purpose?

We, as a general public, know by now that breastfeeding is what’s best for babies. We know that breastfeeding brings health benefits for babies and their mothers. And we know that breastfeeding saves money; it can also save taxpayers an estimated $200 million if babies are breastfed for a year, according to Senator Mike Faulk (R-Church Hill) who sponsored the bill.

There are currently

no provisions which state a mother must be covered when feeding her child, but it is rare to see a nursing mother who isn’t covered.

(You would have never guessed I was nursing my babies; they were in a sling, and covered with the tail of the sling, while they nursed.)

For all of the outrage over the Casey Anthony trial, all of outrage over mothers not doing what they should for their children, there is nearly equally amounts of opposition to breastfeeding in public.

Let’s get this straight: are we going to encourage mothers to be the best they can be or ridicule them when they make great decisions?

While I think needing a law like this in the

United States in 2011 is disheartening, I commend Sen. Faulk for proposing it and I commend the general assembly for its passage.

It is about time, Tennessee.

Brighton hosts Dixie baseball tournament

By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com Brighton hosted the Dixie Youth Baseball Class A T-Ball Tournament last weekend.

None of the three local teams finished in the top two, the qualifications for advancing, but the event was a success.

“I thought everything went really well,” said Diana Mendoza, president of Brighton Dixie Youth. “We got a lot of compliments from everybody. I think it was a good time for everybody.”

Madison South went undefeated, winning all four games, to take first in the tournament. Crockett County took second. Both teams advance to the state tournament, which begins July 15 in Rockwood, Tenn., on July 15.

Munford National, which went 1-2 in the tournament, just missed qualifying, finishing third in the tournament. They defeated Munford American, which also went 1-2, in action on Saturday.

Munford American picked up a win against Madison North, but fell to Madison South, the eventual champ, in the tournament opener on Friday night.

Mendoza said all participants in the tournament seemed happy with their experience in South Tipton County, which hosted the area’s only Dixie Youth tournament of the weekend.

“We had a hospitality room, which a lot of tournaments don’t have,” Mendoza said. “We organized a discount for the visiting team at the hotel

in Atoka, which worked out well. The local restaurants benefited. I think the entire community really rallied together for this.”

While no Brighton teams advanced from last weekend’s tournament, there are some Brighton teams looking to make some noise in Dixie Youth action.

In the next two weeks the Brighton Dixie Majors and the Brighton Dixie Boys will compete in state tournaments.

The Civil War in Tipton County Editor’s note: The following is a historical piece commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, written and compiled by Tipton County Historian Russell B. Bailey.

By RUSSELL B. BAILEY Tipton County Historian

Randolph, Fort Wright The month of July 1861 saw great activity among the Confederate volunteers at Randolph. The soldiers continued their work on the fortifications and drilling. On July 2d, they received their wages of $13.20 for 38 day’s pay. Captain S. R. Latta wrote to his wife that “To day is pay day – and the boys have all got on their new uniforms to attend. It is the finest and handsomest uniform in Randolph.�

The Southern volunteers celebrated the Fourth of July with great enthusiasm. It has been just eighty-five years since the original thirteen colonies had declared their independence from England. Many of the soldiers were sons and grandsons of the rebel patriots of American Revolution.

Reverend James Gordon Law of the 154th Tennessee Infantry recorded in his diary that the South was celebrating the Fourth of July “on the tented field.� He wrote that the remnant of the National congress was meeting to “devise means

Hi everyone, Hope your Fourth of July was a blast. As I'm writing these notes, the fireworks are still going off. They started on Saturday, July 2, and went through July 4 around our place. Sunday afternoon, we were invited over to the Draffin territory. Every house around there is Draffin property. The actual event took place at Martha Jo Fernandez's home.

Martha Jo, Ernest Draffin and Ann Chapman are siblings. They have had a big two-day event every year since I've known them. It was our pleasure to visit and see so many friends. Charles Todd brightened our day by bringing pictures of Miss Mary Grace, Miss Judy's and his new granddaughter. She is one week old, and Miss Judy is still there for her sharing her first Fourth of July! Not to mention the amount of food.

Following the event, we went to my son's house, across the road from us.

We had a blast. My three grandsons, Hayden, Matt and Luke Scott got me in the pool unexpectedly, but it was so much fun. Almost everybody ended up in the pool, whether they had on a swimming suit or not.

We had a lot of fun. My daughter, Sherrie, and her family came over for a while also. Then came the fireworks. I mean, serious fireworks.

Matt's girlfriend, Hayley, brought over some boxes that were as big as microwaves. Her family owns a firework stand. The boxes had fireworks that would go off for several minutes. I'm talk-

for the subjugation of a brave and independent people, who have risen in their might, and thrown off the yoke of a corrupt and oppressive government, hostile to our institutions, and totally at variance with Southern customs and manners.â€? Rev. Law went to describe the day’s activities: “The morning of the 4th of July dawned bright and clear on the tented fields of Randolph. At eleven o’clock the band of the 4th Tennessee Regiment marched to the headquarters of the 13th Tennessee playing the Marseilles hymn. Major H. S. Bradford, a truly eloquent man, and a brave soldier made an oration to the troops, which was received with great enthusiasm‌At four o’clock we had battalion drill. The regiment formed on the parade ground, and under command of Lt. Colonel Marcus J. Wright marched to an old wheat field about a mile from camp, where we drilled for about two hours.

The weather was intensely hot and many of the boys were compelled to fall out of ranks, so great was the fatigue. The day was closed with speaking by the captains of the several companies; many privates also addressed their fellow soldiers‌So ended our first Confederate fourth of July.�

On Sunday July 7th, Methodist Chaplain W. Hafford preached the funeral of N. D. Wilson of

ing about the kind that go far beyond the top of the tree lines. Thank you, Hayley, for all the fun we had. My three grandsons were having so much fun lighting all the boxes. They actually had one come down very close to me that left five burnt spots on my pants and real burnt hole on my shirt. Oh well, they didn't mean to do it, and, besides, it caused more fun and good memories of the entire weekend!

I pray this holiday will always remain our special day for our country and its citizens. Patrick Henry stated in 1775 "Give me Liberty or give me death" and we have many men and women who have lived and died by that statement.

Women's Bible Study will meet July 7 at 7 p.m. at the church. Day of prayer and self-denial will be observed. Happy birthdays this week go to Jan Jones, Ron McDill, Hayden Ridinger and Lydia Wright.

Henderson County who was a soldier in the 13th Tennessee.

Clopton - Mason Tipton’s first mounted unit, Captain Charles H. Hill’s Cavalry was encamped at the Methodist campground at Clopton. Mrs. S. J. Taylor of Mason wrote a letter to a relative in Alabama about their July 4 event: “Capt. Hill has a cavalry company of 104 camped 6 miles of here. They are all citizens of this neighborhood‌ They were presented with a beautiful flag on the 4th of July

by Miss Somervill in behalf of 16 other young ladies. Both parties mustered on horseback. It was presented on horses. Hill drew his company in a line. The girls rode up, Miss Somervill addressed the boys and we had a nice speech from one of the soldiers in reply. Hill then drilled his men for some time. Then Johnnie Somervill mustered the girls. He had been drilling them for some time. They performed beautiful and had on black hats with plumes, long dark habits trimmed with yellow. I never say such a crowd at one place. Sue had the finest horse. Mr. Taylor was opposed to secession until Lincoln called for troops‌. he was for the Union as long a it was worth holding to.�

On July 7th, the Memphis Daily Appeal reported on Tipton’s

at 9:30 a.m. on Sundays and again at 7 p.m. on Wednesdays. Brother Mike Rogers is our minister, and Brother Jeff Phillips is our associate minister. Everyone is always welcome. This Wednesday evening, our guest speaker will be Brother Earl Edwards.

He will be speaking on "The Sexual Immorality of the Roman Empire."

Our West Kentucky Youth Camp last week went very well. My daughter, Sherri Ann, went with them. We were all so blessed, because my 14-year-old grandson, Chase Kidd, gave his life to the Lord and was baptized. There were a total of five young people who were saved and baptized. There were children there from other places as well. Sherri said her group of girls all had more than Disneyworld.

Jeff Phillips and five boys will return this week from their Mission trip to Costa Rica. Please pray for their safe return.

In closing, I'm beginning to feel left out. Every one of my kids and their families are either in Florida or they are going to go soon. I remember the days when we went every year. Some of my kids are staying in the same place we stayed when they were children.

It's great for them, but I don't think I really care to travel that far anymore. Being on the beach all day for a week does not sound as good to me as it used to. Life has a way of changing through the years. Simplicity and early bedtimes are what life has become for me.

Have a great week everyone! Enjoy your summer.

I'm looking forward to the rain that has been predicted. Until next week.

Flag Presentation at Clopton: “We have received‌a communication noticing Capt.

Hill’s company of cavalry, now in camp near Sharon, and giving the particulars of the presentation of a flag, by the young ladies of Tipton to the corps. Miss Ellen G. Somerville made a short and patriotic address on the occasion, which was happily responded to by Capt. Hill. The company is made up of volunteers from Tipton, Fayette and Shelby counties, (but mainly from Tipton) numbering, officers included, one hundred and four—almost without a single exception, young, active and able bodied men, well mounted and equipped for effective service‌.�

Union City The 9th Tennessee Infantry, including Tipton’s volunteers in Co. C, formed a brigade with the 6th Tennessee Infantry and Marshall T. Polk’s Battery, commanded by General Benjamin F. Cheatham. The men of the 9th Tennessee celebrated the Fourth with a grand “military� picnic and dance. The privates were charged 50 cents per ticket while the officers paid between two and five dollars depending upon their rank. Soon, $430.00 collected to pay for all the costs associated with the meal and entertainment. A captain was sent to Memphis to procure the supplies.

Ladies attended the affair, and a bountiful meal was spread upon a long table that would seat at least 30. This tables were on a raised platform. One soldier recalled that General Cheatham and some of his men had imbibed in some cherry brandy prior to the meal. Miss Cornelia A. Watkins recorded in her diary that she attended the “picnic at Col. Douglas’ (9th Tennessee) Regiment – dancing on sawdust, good music, fine times.�

She wrote: “The boys were so kind and seemed so glad to see us that we thought not of surroundings‌we walked out to see the dancers, many plumes & crimson sashes. Col. D (Douglas) wore no ornament, looked very rough; I ate supper on Capt.

Morley’s unplaned poplar table. All seemed cheerful and happy. Went out to the dance tonight; (held at the camp of Polk’s Battery.) Capt. Polk had extra guards around to keep out the intruders. I met Mrs. Battle and Rogers, (husbands) surgeons of this Regiment; saw Colonel Stephens and Travis’ men in Battalion drill this evening.�

The next day Miss Watkins walked ž mile to the camp of the Mississippians. She saw a “fine cavalry company,� (that) charged our infantry formed in a hollow square in a grand mock battle.�

Atoka correspondent, Mabel Smith, suffered a stroke last Friday. We at The Leader would like to offer our prayers for a speedy recovery.

Jamestown DarSay Burton

Greetings, hope you enjoyed a safe, wonderful 4th of July celebration. Mine was spent entertaining a very good friend of our family and Tyndall’s friend who’s like a brother, Earl Ingram of Memphis.

Earl and Tyndall attended Tennessee State University together. Earl dotes on me being one of the best cooks around!

Tyndall says its because Earl just doesn’t have a cook in his kitchen but I agree with Earl, “I’m pretty darn good!”

It was a very hectic week all of last week.

First of all, Tyndall lost his favorite first cousin, William A. “Bill” Miller of Memphis, his service was on Thursday, which was an all day affair due to this family being just as large as the Burtons.

They’re just as nice too.

Bill lost his fight to the “Big C.” His sweet wife, Frankie and their son, William IV, along with the entire Miller family has our prayers. Services for William were entrusted to H. C. Jett/H.C. Ford Funeral Home of Collierville, owned by William’s late uncle Henry Ford, Sr., and his aunt, Norma Miller Ford who lives in Memphis.

Henry, Jr. and Carol Ford Beasley (son and daughter) manage the family’s business quite well. It was a very lovely service.

Keeping our prayers on William’s mother, Joye “Peaches” Miller, brother, Bobby (Margie), sisters, Karen Miller (A.C) Lewis, Leslie Ghandi (Tereydoon) and sister Joye Miller. A big thanks goes to Pastor Ralph White of Bloomfield Full Gospel Baptist Church of Memphis for a job well done.

Isiah Burton, Sr., is a patient at Baptist Hospital on Walnut Grove, since

Tuesday. He is re-cooperating now. Wife, Willie Mae and several of their children from Nashville, Freda (Ton) Hunter and Debra Martin along with sons Tyrone (Collie) and Thomas (Joann) Burton of Jamestown and of Ripley, also on hand for dad and mom. Several of us, my siblings, Min. Pearl Andrew, Annette Burton, and Joann Bell, along with Jeremiah Burton have also been on hand, especially our very own “Florence Nightingale” who’s on staff there, cousin, Nurse Linda Baker.

There was no mission meeting on Tuesday due to Aunt Willie Mae being at the hospital with Uncle Isiah. Same time 5 p.m. next week okay?

Pres. Mary Burton will be expecting you!

Congratulations, happy first anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Terrance “T” (Tamika) Sherrill.

After service on Sunday, where he’s the minister of music at Bright Hill, he and his lovely bride Tammie jumped into their car for a week-long adventure to wherever, WOW! Birthday wishes to Gloria Harber-1st, William Lee - 3rd, Min. Romel Andrews and Stephen Cross - 4th, Marcus Tolbert – 5th, Willie Mae Burton-6th, Anthony Clewis and Destiny Brown – 7th, Mary Burton and Shawn Yorkley - 8th, Patricia Taylor - 9th, Bobby Young, Jr. - 12th.

S.P. Cole started revival services 6th-8th at 6 p.m. each night, former resident of Jamestown, Rev. Posie Heaston, now of Memphis, was the speaker. Tonight’s the final night - hope to see you all there.

John Jones, Sr. (JaCinta) along with Marcus (Stacey) Tolbert spent all of this week having fun in Cancun, Mexico. They took off on their cruise Saturday morning, arriving in Mexico safely!

The Boykins family reunion went off with a lovely blast. The entire weekend of fun ended with Sunday morning service at Greater St. John M.B. Church (Pastor T. J. Lewis of Covington).

A neighborhood gathering grows into day trips

By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com “We started just handdelivering invitations and went door-to-door,” said Margaret Fleming and Sharon Stubblefield, when asked how they started their quickly growing group, The Neighborhood Gathering.

The Neighborhood Gathering started as an attempt to fill a need in the older demographic in Covington to get to know each other while doing something active and constructive. Fleming and Stubblefield began handing out fliers to their neighbors around a few blocks in the historic district of Covington close to the square.

Since then every meeting has grown primarily by word-ofmouth.

People from Drummonds, Munford and Ripley have begun to hear about their outings and have joined in the fun.

“We just wanted to socialize, but we didn't just want to sit and eat and then go home,” said Fleming. “We wanted to do things that were informative and fun while getting to know our neighbors both near and far.”

On Tuesday, the diverse group of both Tipton Countians and out-of-towners alike took a tour of historical churches in the area including Canaan Baptist Church, St. Matthew Episcopal Church, Mt. Carmel Presbyterian Church, Charleston Methodist Church and finally Trinity in the Fields.

Local historian and county genealogist David Gwinn was

Happy Fourth of July and Happy Birthday America!

Elaine Watkins It’s 3 p.m. and I have a Boston Butt on the grill and the children are coming over. Good night ahead!

This week’s Farm Report: Cotton is loaded with squares and a long tap root. Soybeans are growing and, in some fields, fixing to “fill in the middles” (of the rows). Corn is making, just needs to fill out and I think all the wheat has been cut. Ready for another rain, maybe tomorrow.

Just the coolest thing: Alfatoxin is a fungus that can get on corn, especially when it’s dry. And then grain elevators don’t want to buy it. So this year we got Ben Baker to fly over our corn fields and scatter rye seed that has a spore on it and fights Aflatoxin.

We watched him here at the house and could see the seed falling! Neat!

We have been to an ER in Memphis twice now, three doctors visits, two x-rays, two ct-scans and now an MRI tomorrow on James’ back. Will be 10 days Wednesday since it started hurting and no answers yet.

Tomorrow should bring a diagnosis anyway, we hope!

We celebrated his birthday Thursday with burg-

on hand for the duration of the trip to give historical backgrounds to each location.

The tour began at Canaan Baptist Church on North Main Street in Covington where members of the congregation provided breakfast refreshments for participants. Minnie Bommer gave a special tour along with a presentation on the church's history. She relayed information including how the church began. In 1868 in Tipton County in the area of Leigh's Chapel Road under former slave Jupiter Williams.

William Adams brought the church south of its current location on North Main Street in 1872 into a small, one-room building. David Evans, who was pastor from 1876-1885, moved the church to a larger building around its current

location. During W.J. Clark's stint as pastor, members of the congregation built the brick sanctuary in which the congregation worships today.

After visiting the other churches, The Neighborhood Gathering recon- Minnie Bommer explains the history of Canaan vened at Canaan Baptist Church in Covington.

We drove to town for ice cream Friday night and rode out to Solo and made the loop to 54 highway, looking at crops. They had some heavy rain out there we didn’t get. It was good to get out and ride around.

Jeff Phillips and crew have gone on a mission trip to Costa Rica, arriving safely Friday night. Will be home on the July 9. Much good luck and a safe trip to all of them!

Ladies Movie and Dinner Night will be this Friday night. I think we’re going to see “Larry Crowne”.

Larry Whaley II is home from the hospital as is Linda Gordon. Carol “Buddy” McMahan was at church yesterday, after her fall (she didn’t break anything). Ivan Stephenson was also at church, following surgery recently. He looked good as new!

Hello everyone! Hope you’re all doing well!!

We’re just still a’kickin’ out here!

With the orange ozone warning, my folks aren’t getting out much. I heard on the news the other night that it’s really bad for us all, but especially for our senior citizens. They said when we breathe in, with the orange warning; it burns our lungs just like the sun burns our skin!!!!

So when it’s like that, we just all need to stay in! My lungs are bad enough from 2nd hand smoke from working at Country Kitchen for ten years before I came here, so I don’t need them to be harmed anymore!!!

Sorry all you smokers, I love you, but I can’t be around the smoke! We have a lot of our residents out here that are on 24/7 oxygen, they sure need to stay indoors. We even did our 4th of July meal indoors this year because Monday was “ORANGE”.

Guess what we have coming up on July 24th? Yes it’s time for “Christmas in July”.

All of the residents love that time of year! It’s when Macedonia UMC comes over and cooks a big meal in the fellow-

ship hall and it’s all the Christmas trimmings!!!

I’m sure it will be turkey, dressing, ham, sweet potato casserole, green beans, clear down to the pumpkin pie!! Thank you ladies in advance for all you do!!! I mean they do it up right; they bring Christmas presents and the whole nine yards!

My folks love it too, that’s something they look forward to all year long! All the families of the residents are invited, you just need to give me a call and tell me how many is coming in your family, and we’d love to have you come!

Happy Birthday to Ms. Suzetta Johnson, tomorrow the 8th! Hope you have a great one dear!

Ms. Suzetta is the newest of our residents, but she’s no stranger to Dunlap as she has lived here before some years ago, and we’re glad to have her back!

The residents will be getting a real treat Friday or Saturday when the youth group from “True Life Church” will come and bring homemade cookies! They do this every year, maybe even twice a year as my mind recollects. Now it doesn’t recollect very often and

when it does, it still doesn’t mean its right!

Thank you in advance kids in the youth group from True Life Church.

My folks love those homemade cookies!

Has anyone been thinking about taking a little break, those of you that are caring for your loved one in your home?

Remember, we do respite care here as well! So if you need a break or feel you can never get away to have some private time, give me a call at 476-7014 and we’ll discuss the possibilities!

We’ll feed them three meals a day, they’ll have a good comfortable bed to sleep in and be able to visit with folks their own age! You won’t have to even bring towels and toiletries, we have those too!

interview at a hospital in Hawaii and the HR guy is determined to call her not by her middle name, Danielle, but by Debe. Oh my how funny is that!!

The Leader did such a nice piece on the benefit and now so has the Millington Star. There were some great pictures in it too especially of Mr. Eugene Short! Thanks to both papers for the coverage!

As I told you last week my sister, Beth, and I went for a road trip to the cemeteries. Our first stop was Martin where we stopped at the florist and got toppers for mother and my grandparents’ headstones. Then we were off to Dresden where our maternal grandfather’s family is buried. There were like eight cemeteries in the area. Beth and I just winged it and said, “Lets go to Sunset!”

When we got there we didn’t know where to begin so we just started at the front. Within just a few minutes we located the graves of my great grandparents, a great uncle, my grandparents’ baby that died at birth and a few others we believe are family.

Was this a divine find?

I believe so; hang on it just gets better. We then went back to Buena Vista and looked again. Just as we were about to leave I looked at this marker at the end of this row and I couldn’t believe my eyes: it said Carolyn Moore Simonton. I about fell out! I took a quick picture and sent it off to Neal who was pretty surprised too. There will be much research to do on that!

Ok, I am hearing lots of fireworks so have a great week guys! Love,Debe

Hello my Brighton friends, What a grand 4th of July!! We had a great day celebrating Hannah Mae’s 26th birthday; seems like yesterday she was telling everyone the fireworks were for her and everyone celebrated her birthday.

This Saturday, July 9, will be Danielle’s birthday. Of course, being in Hawaii will make it somewhat hard to celebrate, but Paul and the boys will have a good one for her.

Since she is not home I can tell a funny on her: seems that ever since she and Paul have been together he has decided to call her by her first name which is Deborah.

I have loved this cause it just drives her crazy.

So now she has had an

BEHIND THE ARTS

BY ECHO DAY

Tomatoes and Roots in Lauderdale Co. Editor’s note: This is the seventh 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.

There is much history, much celebration in West Tennessee and a quick trip to Lauderdale County will show the ways in which the culture has been shaped by one man's quest for his roots and the ways in which the Mississippi River has provided Ripley with soil rich enough to produce the best tomatoes in the country.

This week the Day Trippin' series takes us north on Hwy. 51, and just over the county line, to Henning and Ripley, where roots are researched and ripe, red tomatoes grow.

RIPLEY TOMATO FESTIVAL

Ripley, Tennessee is known worldwide for its tomatoes and each year a tomato festival is held to honor those who grow them. Taking place this weekend, the 28th annual event will feature vendors, a Tri-State Idol competition, live music, car show, art exhibit, a baby crawl, pistol shoot contest, 5K run, poker run and, of course, hundreds of tomato dishes to taste-test.

"We're really anticipating a large crowd," said Susan Todd, executive director of the Lauderdale County Chamber of Commerce.

Todd also said well-known farmer Robert Timbs, who grows a wide variety of tomatoes, will be at the festival with a new variety to taste. The purple cherokee, she said, has no acid in it.

A carnival is in town, said Todd, and festival events begin on Friday morning with a chamber coffee at the fitness center across from Ripley High School from 7-9 a.m. Opening ceremonies will take place at 10 a.m. Friday, July 8, at Ripley City Park.

For more information about the festival, see www.lauderdalecountytn.org/living_tomato.html.

ALEX HALEY HOUSE MUSEUM

Heralded as one of the most influential writers of the 20th century, Alex Haley, the author of Pulitzer Prizewinning Roots: The Saga of an American Family, was raised in his grandparents' home in Henning, just over the TiptonLauderdale county line. His boyhood home, which is also his final resting place, has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1978 and sees visitors from all over the world each year.

"We have two education facilities: the house museum and the new Alex Haley, famed 6,500-square foot inter- author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning pretive center," said novel Roots:The Paula Boger, interim Saga of an Ameriexecutive director. can Family, grew "This is dedicated to up in Henning. His the collection and pres- boyhood home is ervation of Alex Haley visited by thousands of people artifacts." from all over the The inspiration for the novel Roots, he said, world each year. came from listening to his grandmother's accounts of family history and an ancestor named Kunta Kinte. Haley reportedly researched Kinte by traveling to Gambia.

First published in 1976, the book was adapted into a miniseries in 1977 and influenced a resurgence of interest in black history.

Boger said on Saturdays the museum continues Haley's mission by helping others discover their own history.

"We go in search of their roots, which is an extension of what Alex Haley was all about," she said.

The house museum and interpretive center is open Tuesday-Saturday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. For more information, see www.alex-haley.com.

Part eight in this series, Day Trippin' to Tunica, will be published on Thursday, July 14.

BURN, BABY, BURN 39-year agricultural teacher at BHHS and CHS, Ted Turner has drawn all his life. "Being able to draw has helped me as a teacher. If I was talking to the student about an animal, I was able to draw it on the board for them. Or if we were building something, I could draw the plans out on the board," he said. Now, for the past two years, he's turned to wood burning. At left, Turner put finishing touches on a horse, a subject still new to him. At right, the artist shows something special, a gift to his wife. Turner turned to innovation for this piece by carving a relief sculpture of a rabbit and then burning in the shadow values Photos by Tyler Lindsey

Retired teacher takes up pyrographics

Ted Turner's creativity has served his utilitarian needs; now it's all about the art

By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com Visiting Ted Turner and his wife Carolyn on Leigh's Chapel, the first sound travelers hear will most likely be one of three things: the inquisitive whistle of a quail, the apathetic baa of a sheep or the excited yelp of a dog.

More than likely, all three will make themselves heard. In this way, visitors already understand he has a soft spot for animals.

Though many who know the man may not know it, his compassion for nature is also shown through his art.

For the past two years, Turner has become quite practiced in the art of pyrographics, or wood burning to the layperson. He says he has loved doing this since his retirement three years ago from his 39-year agricultural teaching job at Byars-Hall High School and Covington High School.

He began this activity after taking Rosemary McCain's class at the Tipton County Commission on Aging. Recovering from a hip replacement surgery, the artist found the art form a relaxing way to pass the time.

Wood burning involves a sort of "drawing" with a hot iron, held like one would a pencil, on a slab of basswood. A more advanced iron like Turner's allows the artist to manipulate the

temperature and to switch iron tips.

The two variables give Turner the freedom to burn a line at different widths and depths as well as to provide different shading values corresponding to each subject he depicts.

"I've been drawing since I was in high school," he said. "(BHHS football coach) Mac Peebles' wife coached me in drawing. Wood burning is very similar to drawing.

The only differences really are that you can't erase anything and you have to touch down. The temperature of the iron will do a lot of the work."

"I never knew he was artistic until after we married (in 1963)," said Carolyn.

"I knew he was after I saw a drawing he did of his parents, Ray and Mildred, in 1968."

His subjects have ranged from friends' grandfathers in Marion, Ark. to a student's Brittany Spaniel.

When he's not working on projects for others, Turner said his favorite subjects are animals. Turner showed piece after piece of basswood with burned images of bird dogs, Labradors, quail, pheasants, deer, cattle and any other animals that strike his fancy, all masterfully done.

Turner has kept pushing himself to get more creative in his compositions.

"I pick up ideas whenever I can find them," he said. "If I see a picture that I

Sunflowers can be seen past his house that will be mown down for later dove hunting. Turner runs a business giving pheasant and quail bird hunting tours called Turner Game Birds on his land. His fields of milo, and Johnson grass serve as good cover for the birds and provides a good hunt. Turner designed and made this sign from sheet metal with a plasma cutter.

think would be good to do, I keep it for ideas."

Turner keeps pictures of wildlife and other images of nature. From this collection, he composes a scene from different images; and sometimes the depictions come from inside his mind altogether.

"One time, on a trip, I came across a greeting card with dogs and birds on it.

So I bought it in case I wanted to include it," he said, after showing his likeness of it. "Other times I just do things that come out of my head, like this bull."

The realistic-looking bull shows his mastery of the medium.

His ability to conjure up settings, while manipulating subjects to his liking, has spurred on his successful status as an artist who has full command his tal-

ent.

His art has a quite fitting purpose. Turner was raised in a farming family on the 70-acre land on which he now lives.

"I think I like animals because my father liked them. Being raised on a farm helped too."

Turner's pieces aren't just pictures. Wildlifeand nature-based images burned into basswood with the bark still intact deepen the organic, natural meaning sparked by his subjects.

He plans to expand his artistic abilities working with wood.

His pieces are on sale at Patina on Covington's Court Square.

"Next, I want to start carving out of wood," he said.

Well, nothing's stopping him.

I love to play in the yard and play inside too. I am needing a home that will be able to keep me forever! I sure hope that you are looking for a fluffy boy like me! I have a beautiful shiny coat that everyone says makes me look soooo handsome. If you are interested in adopting me, please go to www.covingtonanimalrescueeffort.com SPONSORED BY:

First Utility District Tipton County “Natural Gas is Best”

Don't expect a reward

Phone

Virtue requires doing the right thing with no expectation of reward, and still doing it happily, but without becoming too proud of our good deeds.

When we are raising our children, we often use punishment and reward to shape their behavior. But as they grow older, we want them to understand that some things are inherently good (or bad) and must be done (or avoided) regardless of whether one is rewarded (or punished) for doing them. If punishment and reward are overemphasized, we run the risk of raising children who are only good when they are being supervised. Likewise, we don't want to be adults who are overly concerned with reward.

The idea that we will be rewarded in heaven for our good deeds is often comforting when we are being punished for them here on earth. But, if that is the only reason we are doing good deeds, to be rewarded for them, then surely we've tainted the pure effect of those good deeds. Virtue is indeed its own reward and we shouldn't expect to be paid handsomely for doing what is right. We should do the right thing simply because it is the right thing to do.

He who does good is of God; he who does evil has not seen God. R.S.V. 3 John 1:11

Eledge, Shelley unite in marriage Emily Ruth Eledge of Brighton and Adam Thomas Shelley of Burlison were recently married on April 30 at 6 p.m. at First United Methodist Church. The ceremony was officiated by the brother of the groom, Rev. Drew Shelley.

Emily is the daughter of Jimmy and Lisa Cothran of Brighton.

Adam is the son of Van and Pam Shelley of Burlison.

Music was rendered by organist Justin Hanson, pianist Ruth Southwick, singer Teri Risher and guitarist Larry Pittman.

Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore an ivory, strapless, Maggie Sottero ball gown with a corset closure and a bow on the back. The ensemble fea-

tured a Bordeaux taffeta, empire waist with exquisite jewelling. The dress had pockets and fullness throughout. The bride also wore a fingertiplength veil trimmed with jewels.

The bride's flowers were done by Lina Shankle. Her bouquet was an all-white, contemporary, spring mixture with an “S” button embellished on the stems.

Emily's matron of honor was Bonnie Coltrane and her bridesmaids were Krystle Eledge, Morgan Constant, Leslie Brock, Megan Slomkowski, Ashley Burk and Maegen Pickard. The junior bridesmaids Cambria Oldham, Charly Oldham and Laura Constant. The bride's and bridesmaids' hair and make-up were

The rehearsal dinner was given by the groom's parents, Van and Pam Shelley, on April 29 at 8 p.m. at Erwins Restaurant in Garland.

The bride had a fourtier, round and square vanilla, strawberry, red velvet and chocolate cake with white icing. Each tier was trimmed with rhinestones and was covered with a scroll design, including a tiffany blue ribbon and the couple's monograms on one tier.

The groom's cake was chocolate with chocolate icing and fudge topped with crushed Oreos and a monogrammed topper.

Both cakes were made

by Mary Boggus.

The reception immediately followed the ceremony at the Chamber Center in Covington.

Entertainment was provided by Rockin Robins' DJs. The building was decorated with tiffany blue, red and white paper lanterns that were hung from the ceiling and in front of the windows with candle screens.

Community New event to take place at Covington BBQ Fest

By GREG ENGSTRAND Special to The Leader This year the Covington BBQ Festival will be featuring a new event that is predominantly a European sport in the area of cycling.

Cyclocross or "CX" is a cycling activity for anyone who wants variety without the worry of road rash. Speeds are lower and the riding surface softer so falls are very forgiving and injuries are rare.

The competition is there, even if you’re not too competitive.

Cyclocross involves an extra-durable road bike with more off road traction tires on varying terrain in any type of weather and obstacles that require riders, men and women, to carry and run with their bike for short sections within the course circuit.

The 2012 and 2013 World Cyclocross Championships will be held for the first time outside of Europe and inside in the United States, namely Louisville, Ken., which is only 340 miles

from Covington. About 40,000 U.S. cyclists registered in an event last year. Professional riders note that the reason people keep coming back is that–even though it looks crazy and extreme–it's less dangerous and more enjoyable for amateurs.

Most cyclocross events are timed and last 30-60 minutes, or about 8-12 miles. Drafting plays almost no role, there is generally no pack riding.

There are mostly groups of 2-3 riders and some that ride solo. They ride only to enjoy their own endurance "suffer-fest"
