Clean sweepBy SHERRI [email protected]

On Saturday, the eighth annual Clean-Up/Fix-Up week culminated with the Walk Across Covington, an event that cleared more than 83 tons of trash from the city’s streets.

An estimated 170 people, including scouts, church youth groups, students, teachers, city officials and more, volunteered for this year’s event. City officials said a total of 533 people volunteered during the week-long effort.

Rhonda L. Adams, known in the community as “Mama Lou,” brought a group of 11-16-year-olds from Redeeming the Time Ministry to help.

“I feel the neighborhood young people need to get out and realize that keeping our streets, our neighborhood, our community clean is their responsibility,” Adams said. “They need to know what it’s like to get out there.”

The yearly event celebrates Earth Day and urges residents to clean up their property. At the end of the clean-up, volunteers met up at the City Shop on Ripley Avenue for lunch and door prizes.

“We are extremely thankful for the assistance from the people of Covington in helping to cleanup our city,” said Robert Martin Simpson, public works director.

Deputy under investigation by TBIBy ECHO [email protected]

A Tipton County deputy has been placed on administrative leave after allegations he’d had an inappropriate relationship with a teenager surfaced this week, the Tipton County Sher-iff’s Office announced Friday.

According to a press release from the department, the Ten-nessee Bureau of Investigation is conducting an investigation into the allegation that Jason

Cochran, 29, has been having sexual relations with a 17-year-old female.

“It’s still very much ongoing, there are still other witnesses and evidence that needs to be found and gathered,” said District Attorney General Mike Dunavant.

The relationship was alleged to have taken place over the last two months while Cochran was off-duty. The victim and her family are cooperating with officials.

Sheriff Pancho Chumley said the TBI is investigating the case as an independent agency.

“It is truly a sad day in light of this investigation and the allegations against Deputy Cochran,” Chumley said. “I requested the TBI to inves-tigate this matter and I will prosecute any criminal activ-ity to the fullest. This type of conduct will not be tolerated and is certainly not the current standard of quality employees at the sheriff’s office. Just as in

this case, even when we have not received a complaint from a victim, if we become aware of any questionable conduct by any employee we will request it be investigated. I feel this is the only way to maintain the standards the citizens of Tipton County deserve and I demand at the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office.”

Cochran was hired in April 2007 as a correctional officer. In April 2011 he was transferred to

No new details in Mason homicideBy JEFF [email protected]

One man was killed and two others injured March 24 during a shooting in Mason.

According to the TBI, the man killed was Shuron Andrell Lee, 31, an employee of Wright Medical in Arlington and UPS.

Wounded were Thomas Whitley, 35, of Covington, and Marico Middle-brooks, 33, of Somer-ville.

Tipton County Sheriff’s Office and the Mason Police De-partment have made seven arrests on vari-ous charges associated with the incident, according to the TBI.

The incident occurred at Shirley’s Bar in downtown Mason.

“The TBI investigation of the shooting incident in Mason is still ongoing, and I cannot really comment on the details,” District Attorney General Mike Dunavant said, “other than to say that the TBI has identified a person of interest that they are looking for in connection with the inci-dent.”

That person is Cedric Monteze Leavy, who also has an outstanding warrant for violation of probation in Tipton County Circuit Court.

Leavy, 25, was last booked into the Tip-ton County Correctional Facility on March 18 for possession of marijuana. He is 6’3” and weighs approximately 175 pounds.

If anyone knows of the whereabouts of Mr. Leavy, please contact the TBI or the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office at 901-475-3300.

Cedric Leavy, 25, has been named a person of interest in the shooting death of Shuron Lee on March 24.

Walkers will go around the clock in the battle against cancer when the 2012 American Cancer Society Relay For Life® of Tipton County gets un-derway in three weeks. Teams of residents will gather at Covington’s Cobb Parr Memorial Park at 6 p.m. to begin the event.

Relay For Life events are held overnight as individuals and teams camp out at an athletic track, park or other gath-ering area, with the goal of keeping at least one team member on the track or pathway at all times throughout the evening. Teams do most of their fundraising prior to the event, but some teams also hold creative fund-raisers at their campsites during Relay.

Relay brings together friends, families, busi-nesses, hospitals, schools, faith-based groups, all aimed at furthering the American Cancer Soci-ety’s efforts to save lives by helping people stay well, by helping them get well, by finding cures and by fighting back.

Though the event has

seen a decline in partici-pation in recent years, chairperson Heather Ziegler, whose son Ro-man battled Hodgkin disease, said the number of teams signed up has exceeded the county’s goal.

“The economy is bad, but cancer doesn’t take a rest,” she said.

Where teams were usu-ally from corporations, businesses and churches in the past, nowadays they’re mostly comprised of family members and friends. Schools and oth-er organizations are also participating this year.

“Relay is a unique op-portunity for our com-munity to come together to celebrate people who have battled cancer, re-member those we’ve lost, and fight back against the disease,” said Ziegler. “Many of the participants are cancer survivors, which serves as a reminder that Tipton County is not immune to this disease. By partici-pating in Relay, we are joining with the Ameri-can Cancer Society’s ef-

forts to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays.”

Funds raised at Relay For Life of Tipton County are enabling the Ameri-can Cancer Society to impact the lives of those touched by cancer within the community.

Locally, monies raised benefit projects like Look Good, Feel Better, a a free, national public ser-vice program that helps women cancer patients improve their appear-ance and self-image by teaching them hands on beauty techniques to manage the appearance side effects of chemo-therapy and radiation treatments.

Additionally, to help promote the event and bring about awareness, the week of May 6-11 event participants will help paint the town pur-ple by decorating their yards, homes and busi-nesses with the events theme color.

Teams and committee members are also selling luminaria in memory or in honor of persons who

have fought the battle against cancer. Luminar-ia bags start at $5 each.

When the event begins on Friday, May 11, Relay For Life’s Luminaria Cer-emony will take place after sundown, honoring the community’s cancer survivors and remem-bering those lost to the disease. Participants will circle a track that is sur-rounded with glowing luminaria that bear the name of someone who has battled cancer.

And though the event is only three weeks away, Ziegler said it is not too late to help raise funds, register a team or par-ticipate in any other way. Visit relayforlife.org/tipton for more details.

To purchase luminaria, make a donation or to participate in this year’s event, call Ziegler at 901-603-6222 or send an email to [email protected].

Music on the Square kicks off on May 5By SHERRI [email protected]

April showers bring May flowers… and Cov-ington’s famed Music on the Square concert series.

The annual music se-ries will kick-off the 2012 season on May 5 with local band Wild Hearts, whose sound of old and new country and south-ern rock will have the crowd singing and danc-ing in the street.

“We work hard to im-prove the quality of life for our citizens and this is one way we’re able to accomplish that,” said Covington Mayor David Gordon. “It’s a wonder-ful event. You get to enjoy great company and great music on the square.”

Music on the Square returns every Saturday

evening beginning May 5 and runs through June 23 from 7 – 9 p.m. This year’s concert line up consists of a variety of musical styles and mu-sicians from Tennessee, Arkansas and Missouri:

May 5 – Wild Hearts (old and new country, southern rock)

May 12 – Ronnie Twis-dale (variety '60s and '70s)

May 19 – Generation Gap (variety '60s and '70s)

May 26 – Scott Myatt – (ballads, folk, and blues)

June 2 – Southern Voic-es (country, rock, gospel)

June 9 – Infinity (rhythm & blues, rock & roll)

June 16 – Trapper Haskins & The Bitter Swill (blues)

June 23 – Missouri’s Most Wanted (country, blues, rock)

During intermission, local school children and special groups will per-form.

As in the past, alco-holic beverages will not be allowed and residents are asked to leave their coolers at home and pets at home.

“You’re invited to bring your lawn chairs and blankets but no coolers,” said Gordon. “Come on out and enjoy the eve-ning among family and friends in a secure envi-ronment.

Non-profits will be selling refreshments along the square to raise money for their orga-nizations. Non-profits interested in selling for

the entire concert season are asked to contact Cov-ington Tipton County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Lee Johnston at 476-9727 for booth rental.

The City would like to thank the following sponsors for their sup-port in making this year’s concert series possible: The Tennergy Corpora-tion; J. Houston Gordon; Jerry Dupriest; Frank Climer & Sons; Bank of Tipton; A2H; David Gordon; Keith McCalla; Patriot Bank; Whitehorn, TankersleyJamieson & Fisher; BanCorp South and McBride Still & Wil-liams.

Clues still sought in home invasionBy ECHO [email protected]

Investigators are still searches for clues in an April 3 home invasion on Junior Drive in Covington, a spokes-person for the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office said.

According to a statement released by the department, witnesses stated that between 9:30 and 10 p.m., two black males wearing hoodies and dark cloth-ing knocked on the door of the resi-dence, then forcibly entered the home once the door was opened.

“The robbers were armed with a shotgun and locked the victim and her two juvenile children in the garage af-ter ransacking the home,” said Sheriff J.T. “Pancho” Chumley.

The suspects are accused of taking

two cell phones, a Playstation 3 and three digital cameras, Chumley said. They fled on foot from the residence.

A neighbor reportedly told police a suspicious white vehicle was in the neighborhood. Detectives have leads in the case, but arrests had not been made at press time.

“We need the community’s help in identifying these suspects,” said the sheriff. “If anyone has information in this case, please let us know.”

Persons with information that may lead to the arrest of the persons respon-sible for this home invasion are asked to call the Criminal Investigations Divi-sion at 901-475-3300, Central Dispatch after hours at 901-475-4300 or the tipline at 901-475-3007. Additionally, tips may be emailed to [email protected].

The March of Dimes would like to thank local bankers, businessmen and county offi cials for turning themselves in Friday, April 13 as jailbirds for the second annual Jail N Bail event hosted by Patriot Bank.

After spending time in the mock jail, their efforts produced bail money of approximately $8,000, which will be donated to the March of Dimes.

Chief Billy Daugherty of the Tipton County Sheriff ’s Offi ce was the top jailbird and collected more than $2,800.

The research that will be done with this money saves the lives of many premature babies. One is the 2012 ambassador, Annabelle, daughter of Lizzy Wooten Jackson, who was born

weighing 1lb. ,11oz. She was given a better chance of survival due to the many prayers, extraordinary doctors of Baptist Tipton and the work of the March of Dimes organization.

Please accept this heartfelt “thank you” from Annabelle,

Patriot Bank and the March of Dimes

PUBLIC RECORDPROPERTY TRANSFERS

Every day I try to learn something I didn’t know before and last Friday I learned a lesson I re-ally didn’t like, nor agree with, from a local busi-ness owner.

Businesses are not re-quired by law or from the credit card companies, to check a consumer’s identification when they present a credit card. A business is not allowed to require your I.D. for a credit card transaction – only your signature.

Yes, I know to a sane con-sumer that sounds insane, especially in today’s age of rampant identity theft and fraud, but unfortunately it’s true.

Want to hear the really insane part?

Credit card companies actually discourage mer-chants from asking!

Visa’s merchant rules state: “Although Visa Rules do not preclude merchants from ask-ing for cardholder ID, merchants cannot make an ID a condition of ac-ceptance. Therefore, merchants cannot refuse to complete a purchase transaction because a cardholder refuses to provide ID. Visa believes merchants should not ask for ID as part of their regular card acceptance procedures.”

MasterCard, Discover, American Express all have similar policies. They want to make a credit card purchase as user-friendly as possible.

Don’t believe me? Call and ask 1-800-VISA-911. I called. A Visa customer service representative told me, “It is against Visa’s policy to ask for supplemental ID.”

Now, let me tell you how I discovered this idi-otic rule.

My under-aged son’s debit card was used at a local liquor store.

Supposedly, they checked IDs to ensure one of them was at least 21, but not when they paid with the minor’s credit card.

I have a problem with this. In fact, I have a huge problem with this.

When I talked to the business owner, their re-sponse was they didn’t have the time to check IDs.

What? It takes a sec-

ond or two to match names on a credit card to an identification card. A second or two to ensure that identify theft or fraud is not be-ing committed. A

second or two to ensure that minors

are not getting a hold of alcohol.

They also told me that it was not their place to raise my child and they are absolutely right. But I wasn’t asking them to raise my child. What I was asking them was to be a responsible business owner, especially due to the type business that they own. I asked them to check IDs to ensure the person whose name was on the card was ac-tually the person using the card. To check the purchaser’s ID as a pre-caution against young people trying to pull a fast one.

But, if the credit card companies don’t care who’s actually using their credit cards, how are we supposed to enforce this form of protection for our young people?

Now, I know if under-aged young people want to drink, they are going to find a way to do it, but what’s wrong with mak-ing it as hard as hell for them to get access to the alcohol?

No ID? No worries!

JUST MY VIEWSHERRI ONORATI

How many times have you just sat and wondered how is it that I’m still in one piece? Did you ever fall out of a hayloft accidentally or maybe you had a little assistance from one of your dear friends? We were so small the ground seemed like it was a million miles away. Maybe we put Sky King to shame flailing through the air.

Friends, for you folks that have been under a root cellar all yo’ life at one time there were barns that stored hay, corn that had to be shucked, milking stalls, farrowing pens, barrels of ‘shorts’ (heh, heh let some them Harvard city slickers ‘fig-ger’ that’un out). Tell that to some of today’s modernization and watch ’em look at you just like you just slapped them in the noggin with bowl of boiled, dehydrated chit’lins.

Remember how the landing-pad when div-ing out of the loft, would be harder than an ex-mother-in-law’s heart? Or possibly kind of messy as we say in the South, caused by the rains mixed in what you find in a barn-yard. Only my Country brethren can relate. Either way, you done had a Bad Day at Black Rock. I guess it was ‘pert nigh’ a miracle all of us didn’t have more broken bones and skint split hides than we might admit.

But unless you were barely two steps ahead of the grim reaper there was no way anyone would admit being hurt and desiring a trip to the miracle cure Doc-tor. Better be tough! Not only aches and pains, but communicable diseases spread around the entire uni-verse. Can anyone recall these problems as a young-ster?

Jack, the illustrious Oracle of Delphi, reminded me

of the seven year itch and the preferred treatment many years ago. Sometimes called ‘scabies’ and a few names the preacha’ couldn’t repeat, this itch would make you squall the cows home. This nail breaking itch would cover a victim like a politician covers a vote at an upcoming speaking rally election. Beloved, now that’s all over, far and wide. Daddy said he had seen blood drawn scratching and digging while tears flowed like the Johnstown flood.

The mixture of sorghum molasses and sulfur, simi-lar to catheads dipped in red-eye gravy, to be fiercely spread over the red ‘wep’ torso. Another suggestion was to wash the bed sheets, blankets and quilts at least every two weeks, whether needed or not. A hot bath using freshly drawn well water was said to expedite the cure. I’m not sure if this extra dipping included the regular Sat’dy night submerging. Just a thought!

One thing about it, the entire school, not just the room class, knew you were not ab-sent 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. Friends can you just imagine what these curtain

climbers would do today of they had to indulge in some of our cures we used a hun’ert years ago? Why they would crawl under a gum stump like a mole and hide for sure. But we did survive by the skin of our teeth.

Maybe It Wasn’t as Bad as We Thought at the Time.... GLORY!

April 22 is Earth Day. Started in 1970 by Sena-tor Gaylord Nelson, Earth Day is designed to create awareness of the Earth’s environment and to encour-age conservation efforts. If you and your family par-ticipate in Earth Day events, such as helping clean up a local park or taking materials to a recycling center, you know the benefits of doing your part to improve your surroundings. But are you doing everything you can to upgrade your environment for investing?

Actually, as an investor, you can learn a lot from the lessons of Earth Day. Here are just a few ideas:

Diversify. If you’re familiar with Earth Day, you know that it involves multiple activities, including educational programs and do-it-now action steps. This variety is necessary because protecting our environ-ment is a complex challenge. Meeting your short- and long-term investment goals can be chal-lenging, too, but you’ll have a better chance of suc-cess by diversifying your investment dollars across a range of vehicles, such as stocks, bonds, government securities and certificates of deposit (CDs). Diversifi-cation can help reduce the impact of volatility on your portfolio — and high volatility can be an obstacle for some people trying to follow an investment strategy. (Keep in mind, though, that diversification, by itself, cannot guarantee a profit or protect against loss.)

Seek growth opportunities. Some people plant trees on Earth Day, hoping to watch them grow over the years. As an investor, you, too, need to plant “seeds” today in the hopes of growth in the future. That means, among other things, that when you purchase growth-oriented investments for the long term, you need to try to stick with them and not “uproot” them after short-term declines in price.

Develop good habits. If you attend an Earth Day program, you will learn about many eco-friendly habits you can develop, from using energy-efficient light bulbs to recycling old computers and other elec-tronic devices. To invest successfully, it’s important to develop good habits, such as staying invested in all

types of markets, seeking tax-advantaged in-vestments and reviewing your portfolio reg-ularly to make sure it’s still appropriate for your risk tolerance, time horizon and long-term objectives.

Avoid “toxins.” At some Earth Day events, you can learn about “green” substitutes for toxic chemicals in common household clean-ers. When you invest, you may also want to avoid “toxins” — or at least “toxic” behav-iors, such as chasing after “hot” stocks that are inappropriate for your needs or trading so frequently that you run up big fees, com-

missions and taxes.Think long term. Above all else, Earth Day is a re-

minder to us that we all want to leave a healthy plan-et to future generations — which means we need to make moves that are beneficial for the environment over the long term. When you invest, you also need to focus on the future. That means following a long-term investment strategy and not getting sidetracked by short-term events, such as political crises and eco-nomic downturns.

Earth Day comes once a year, but its lessons can have a lasting impact on our environment. When you apply these same lessons to your own investment en-vironment, you may be able to achieve some healthy results.

This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

Earth Day lessons can apply to investors, too

Shiloh, April 6, Contin-

ued“Still another battle I

must record – the glori-ous but bloody one of Shiloh… Gen. Albert S. Johnston fell on the field fighting bravely to the last…he fell at half past 2 o’clock…Many of our friends fell… Cornelia A. Watkins.

By 1:30 p.m, the “Tip-ton Rifles” 4th Tennessee, helped to repulse Federal attacks on Bankhead’s Tennessee and Cobb’s Kentucky Batteries near the 12th Tennessee and Blythe’s Mississippi Regi-ment. This was north of Water Oaks Pond near the camp of the 45th Illi-nois. Thomas Watkins re-called lying down “in the face of a line of blue coats about 60 yards away… both sides pumped lead across the space between us as fast as possible.” He wrote:

“During this tilt our Col-or bearer was struck on the head and dazed. Springing to his feet with the flag and starting to the rear in a run, quite a number of men start-ed with him, and it looked as if the whole regiment would, but the call of Lieut. Col. Strahl… and the action of one of the color guard I think a member of the Tipton Rifles in seizing the flag and carrying it back to the lines stopped the move…”

That night, the 4th Ten-nessee bivouacked in the camp of McAllister’s Bat-tery. W. S. Dillon wrote: “we enjoyed sleeping in the Federal tents, eating their… nice fried ham and eggs, butter and cof-

fee, fried potatoes, a great contrast to the way we rebels lived.”

The afternoon of the 6th found Tipton’s men of Co. C, 9th Tennessee Infantry at the Sarah Bell field. The field between the iconic “Hornets’ nest” facing the “Sunken Road” south of “Bloody Pond.” Here they Tennesseans witness for-mer U. S. Vice President John Breckinridge pre-pare his troops for action. They recognized Tennes-see Governor, Isham Har-ris and his brother-in-law, commanding General, Albert S. Johnston, lead troops into battle. They watched the gallant bayo-net charge of Statham’s Brigade. They saw the daring mounted cavalry charge of Colonel Nathan Bedford Forrest’s Ten-nessee regiment. Moving from a column of fours into line of battle, the Memphian had his bugler sound charge. Moments later the Missouri Yan-kees were retreating in confusion.

Now it was time for Cheatham’s troops to advance. Colonel George formed his line of battle thus: the 9th Tennessee on the right, 1st Tennessee in the center and the 19th Tennessee of Statham’s Brigade on the right. The 6th Tennessee and 7th Kentucky were placed in support. These troops had to cross over the dead and wounded bodies of their brigade comrades, in addition to retreating Confederates from a pre-vious charge. Maney’s rebels gained the cover of the woods before being detected by the Federals of Lauman’s Brigade and

Ross’ Michigan Battery. The Colonel had his men to lie down before receiv-ing a volley from enemy infantry. Maney wrote:

“My advance was re-newed in good order. Ob-serving… the enemy… wavering, I… ordered the 1st and 9th Infantry to the charge. The order was re-sponded to with a cheer, and both regiments sprang for-ward with enthusiasm wor-thy of their cause, holding an alignment which would have done credit to veter-ans. Colonel Cummings’ (19th Tennessee) regiment came gallantly forward at the same time on my right… The enemy could not wait to sustain the shock, but broke in disorder and fled precipi-tately before us.”

The 1st Mississippi Cavalry and the 9th Ten-nessee Infantry converged on Captain William H. Ross’ 2d Michigan Light Artillery, Battery B. about the same time. The entire battery, guns, wagons, horses, and men were captured. John W. Meux of Stanton, a volunteer in Co. C. of Tipton County, shot down the color bear-er of the Michigan battery and captured their flag. (Gen. Beauregard later sent Meux to Richmond to present the flag to Presi-dent Jefferson Davis.)

Maney later claimed that it was this charge that won his promotion to Brigadier General. Continuing the advance, Cheatham’s troops assist-ed in the capture of Gen-eral Prentiss and 2,300 of his men. This was the largest capture of Federal prisoners since the begin-ning of the War.

The Civil War and Tipton CountyApril 1862

Hello dear readers:We are having funny weather. We

have had our air conditioner on a day or two. Then back to the heat.

The island out in the lake is sure look-ing good. The old man went down to-day and finished up weed eating. Mr. Alvin has trimmed up the cedar tree that lives in the middle of the island. It looks so good I feel like going down to the lake and sit on the island. Our grand daughter and her little 5 year old son, A.J. came out for a while yesterday and we all went down to the island. We also wemt over to the fence and the cows that live next door came up to the fence to see us. This is the first time that A.J. had seen cows. I still had some old apples in my referegator and we ran up to the house and got some of the apples

to give to the cows. They really like the old apples.

We went to church Sunday night. It is only the second time we have been on Sunday night. We enjoyed it very much. Prayer concerns: Bertha Wright. Charlotte Curtis, Annette Hanks, Dick Hanks, Bobbie Waits, Jane Spray, Bar-bara Turner, & Vrenda Waits.

I just this week bought a dozen petu-nias. Last year I put my two pots of pe-tunias in the basement and they lived all winter. I put them back on the stepts at the front door. They have come out and are blooming. I was so pleased, I had never had a place to put flowers for the winter. So petunias cane make it thru the winter in my basement. I re-ally like petunas....and they grow petty good for me. Love & prayers.

Welcome back Burlison! Well, I’ve received three birthday announcements and those are for Greg Swords on Apr.19, Megan Park on Apr. 20 and Betty Burross on Apr. 23. Happy Birthday ya’ll!

We have a lot prayer re-quests and here they are: Rogene Azotea, Peggy Baskin, Shanna Butler, Jo Campbell, Norris Cothran, Georgia Dixon, David Gil-breath, Charlotte Gurley, Richard Huffman, Charles Jackson, Sr., Debra John-son, Lamar Joyner Family, Martha Kellum, Mickey Martin, Christine Max, Emma Milligan, Charlie Moss, Hallie Burross Oak-ley, Rhonda Overstreet, Wayne Parr, Patty Seeber, Sissy Townsend, Gwen Wealti, Bob Yoakum and Carol and Neil Zimmer-man.

I don’t have any com-munity events to men-tion this week but I know there will be a few coming up late this month and early next month. Check back next week for more information on those.

By the way, I want to apologize to anyone who may have tried to contact

me by the telephone num-ber listed in the byline. Typos abound even after proof reading. It just goes to show we’re all human and make mistakes. The correct phone number to contact me at is (901) 569-1090. You can also send an email to [email protected] and I will check it before preparing the weekly column.

I know high school se-niors are ready to be done with school and take on their next task in the work-place or college. I want to highlight those students in the Burlison area. If you son or daughter is gradu-ating high school and they live in the Burlison area, please drop me a line. I would also like to share your good news about them being accepted into colleges or basic training for any military branch as well.

Now that all the impor-tant stuff is out of the way, let’s get on to my weekly ramblings. As I sit and write this week’s column, one word comes to mind and that’s INSPIRATION. I’m not talking about be-ing moved artistically,

but more in the sense of the word “to breathe in.” This morning as I walked outside into the cool brisk morning and filled my lungs full of this West Tennessee air, it was re-freshing in more ways than one. The air felt cool to my nose and lungs as I breathed deeply. It also had a very light, sweet, al-most floral scent about it. And I don’t know about you, but I love that. Liv-ing in the country means you don’t always get the best of smells wafting through the air. If you live anywhere near livestock or a papermill, you know what I mean. Now, I know many of ya’ll are probably thinking, is this fool re-ally trying to wax poetic about the air? Yup, and I sure am. And the reason is, it’s those little things in life that we fail to ap-preciate that can bring the biggest smiles, warmest peace and the best out-look for our days. I hope that today you will take a moment to be inspired, not by awe and grandeur but by the little things in life. Until next week, take care.

This week’s Farm Re-port: Corn is getting tall enough to wave in the breeze. Cotton is popping up and winter wheat looks really good. More plant-ing, spraying, fertilizing after it dries up a little more after the rain.

I helped Elizabeth clean out a flower bed last Tues-day. We dug and pulled up two bushes, then bor-rowed a chain from their neighbor and pulled a big one up with Justin’s truck. Looking for a bench now.

We celebrated Liz’s birthday Wednesday night after church with a lemon-blueberry cake shaped and decorated like a nurses’ scrub shirt. Cute! My dad, Kenneth Weir, and Clint and Courtney joined us in the celebration. Lyla will be two on Friday and she says she wants a “choc” cake. She’ll get it!

A whole bunch of us from the Covington Church of Christ traveled to Memphis for a Redbirds game Saturday night. Fun night and good game, and even though we lost by one point, there were fireworks! Fun night and I thank Ken Bringle for driving the van!

Sorry Jennifer Phillips got sick with an abscessed tooth, and that Jim Hen-derson got out of breath and ended up in the hos-pital with pneumonia. Hope both of these get better quickly!

We had a Marriage Sem-inar with Stan and Sheila Butt Sunday. Stan talked to the men and Sheila

talked to the women dur-ing Sunday school, Stan did the sermon and we had a big potluck lunch featuring fried chicken. Then we had another ses-sion with our own teach-ers and were dismissed. No church Sunday night, which seemed really weird. Good day!

We will start our two ser-vices on April 22. Church at 8:45, Sunday school at 10 a.m. and second service at 11 a.m. until we get our new auditorium built.

There will be a bridal shower for Tessa McDa-vid, bride-elect of John Evans IV on Sunday, April 22. They will be married on May 26 at Kentucky Youth Camp, where they met. Sweet! Shower’s at 2 p.m.

Congratulations to Clint and Morgan Smith on the birth of little Abigail Leigh Smith, born Tuesday, April 10, weighing seven pounds. Caleb is the proud big brother, Laura Craft is the proud grandmother and Jim Edmonds is the proud great-grandfather!

We were happy to see the David Keith family back at church on Sunday. All four of them have been very sick, possibly the flu for the boys.

On our prayer list are Jenni Langston, J. J. Brown, recovering from knee surgery, Pat Fara-bee, Alma Rose, Richard Huffman, Trey Erwin, Craig Randolph, Jimbo Edmonds and so many others, including our ser-vicemen and women, and voters.

Happy Birthday this week goes to Richard Shankle on April 15, to George Watkins on the 17th, to Alan Kinningham and Mitch Rogers on the 18th, to Ashley Whaley

and Ann Chapman on the 19th and to Lyla Harrell and LaVerne Baxter on the 20th!

Happy Anniversary to Jerry and Kelley Melton on April 18, to Benny and Hope Collins on the 19th and to Bruce and Fay Ha-zlerig on the 20th!

This week’s Farmer’s Almanac quote: “Place cut daffodils in water for 12 hours before combining with other flowers; other-wise, the sap wilts other plants.” Until next week.

Hi everyone, between tornado warnings, high winds, rain and colds and sinus problems, I really won’t mind those 100-de-gree temperatures this summer. I don’t recall such a “spring” in my lifetime. However, our recently planted trees needed the rain.

Our prayers go out to the many families who have lost everything as well those that have actu-ally lost family members.

Hope your week has been a good one. I know there has been a lot of soft-ball and baseball tourna-ments going on. Charlie and I have been to a few. Our little Zack Kidd's team, the Mudcats, lost over the weekend. His dad, David Kidd, is their coach. My little Addie continues to bring in the homeruns. Our grand-daughters Hannah, Sarah, Ellen and Abigail Quinn begin their games this week at Bellevue.

Salem Presbyterian Church

Worship is at 11 a.m. Rev. Charles Todd is the minister. Jason and Angie Morgan presented their son, Elijah Edward Mor-gan, for the Sacrament of Infant Baptism.

each the greatest!

Our Sunday evening service will remain at 5:30 p.m. Our mid-week bible study on Wednesday evenings at 7 p.m. will also remain the same. Brother Mike Rogers is our minister and Brother Jeff Phillips our associate minister and youth direc-tor. There will be a bridal shower for Tessa McDa-vid, bride-elect of John Evans, Sunday, April 22 at 2 p.m. Congratulations to Clint and Morgan Smith on the birth of a daugh-ter, Abigail Leigh. Caleb is the proud big brother and Laura Craft, the new grandmother, and Mr. Jim Edmonds, the proud new great grandfather.

In closing, my dear Charlie had a colonoscopy this week that went very well, praise the Lord. Have a great week everyone.

Hello everybody! Hope you’re all do-ing well. We have no idea how blessed we are in this area by not having all the bad weather everyone else seems to be experiencing all around us. All those poor folks in Alabama and so many other places. I watch it on T.V. and it’s almost unimaginable to see the devastation. We must continue to lift these folks up in our prayers.

Please also be in prayer for our dear little Ms. Hazel Greganti as she is in the hospital. She is the precious thing. Every-one out here loves her so much! Please continue to remember Mr. Harold Nelms in Quince Nursing Home in Memphis. The last I heard from his son Jerry, he was enjoying his new home, but we sure miss you Mr. Harold.

We may have a new resident coming soon. I will give you more details and keep you posted as it unfolds. We have one room available and hopefully this person will fill that room. But now, we still have a whole building that we need to fill back up. We don’t want to forget that. We just need the people to get on the waiting list and get that building opened back up.

I do have an apartment for rent and ac-tually I will be having another one about the middle of May. Now these are totally independent living apartments. The utili-

ties are included and the maintenance. There, you are on your own just like any other apartments, buy your own grocer-ies, do your own cleaning and cooking and everything. They would be great for a single person or a couple. I had a couple the other day to stop and look at them; hopefully they will be able to move in. I met them at the Health Fair at Brighton last October, so I’m so thankful we did in-deed meet! Come on out folks, we’d love to have you.

Sure hope everyone has their calendar marked for our annual “Springfest” that will be taking place here at the center on May 19 from 10 a.m. till 3 p.m. We’ll have lots of gospel music going on and lots of things for the kids to do; we’ll have a cake auction, that is if all of my readers are able to bring a cake out to auction, and if you can make one and can’t get it out here, please just call me and I’ll come and get it. I would love to, and if I have never met you, that will give me a chance to do so. I love it when total strangers come up to me and say they read my column every week, they are no longer strangers.

Well, I better close for now. Please give someone a big hug, tell them you love them and don’t forget to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind! Until next week, God bless!

Dr. Karen Bowyer, President of Dyersburg State Community College (DSCC), recently met with Ms. Kay Summers, Presi-dent of the Tipton County Retired Teachers Associa-tion, and other members of the Association to dis-cuss the Leaving a Legacy for Learning Fundraising Campaign. This Fund-raising Campaign is un-derway in Tipton County to raise needed funds for scholarships and program development at the DSCC Jimmy Naifeh Center in Tipton County.

Members of the Dyers-burg State Community College Foundation Board Executive committee re-cently met in the Terrace Room of the Security Bank

Community Learning Center on the Dyersburg campus of Dyersburg State Community College. The Foundation Board is com-posed of area leaders from Dyer, Lake, Obion, Crock-ett, Gibson, Tipton and Lauderdale counties. They serve as advocates for the College to prospective stu-dents, elected officials and potential donors. It is the major vehicle for develop-ing, soliciting and accept-ing private gifts, federal grants, and other private donations. The Founda-tion exists to manage these funds and make distribu-tion of these funds to the College for use in vari-ous programs to promote academic enrichment. Larry White of White and Associates Insurance in Dyersburg is the 2011-12 foundation chair. Paul Rose of Rose Construc-

tion in Covington is vice chair/chair elect. Serving as treasurer is DSCC Vice President for Finance and Administrative Services Lowell “Bud” Hoffmann of Lexington.

John D. Rockefeller once said “If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.” Well, our little knights have been seek-ing out success through more quests than we can count, both near and far! You may have seen some of our band, choir, or drama students recently when they “Toured the Town” at Wal-Mart, the Bald Butcher, and the His-toric Covington Square to demonstrate their suc-cess with the arts as a personal invitation to our CIAA Open House night. On that note, we would like to thank all the par-

ents, neighbors, and new friends who came to visit us at our Open House last Thursday night! We so enjoyed your visit!

Many otherstudents have been taking their success on the road as well! Drama team trav-eled to St. Louis to learn new dances and partici-pate in competition. Our Treble Honors Choir just returned from their trip to the Tennessee Vocal Music Education Asso-ciationState TMEA con-ference. Our Beta Club and Student Council also made the journey to St. Louis over spring break to celebrate the services projects they have com-pleted over the last two

years. They were able to explore the St. Louis Zoo, the City Museum, and even the Gateway Arch. Our 7th and 8th graders recently traveled to Nashville on a histori-cal lesson about Tennes-see and were so pleased with their visit to the State Capitol, the historic museums, and even a visit with the Honorable Jimmy Naifeh. Our Chal-lenge students spent last Wednesday visiting Bap-tist Tipton Hospital where they were able to learn all about healthcare and the medical field. Coming up soon our CIAA band members will be on their way to competition in St Louis as well!

Now that is not where our send-offs end folks! Just last week, we sent Mrs. Sara Gangaware to JAIL for March of Dimes! Our students worked together to raise over $300 dollars for March of Dimes so we could bail Mrs. Sara out. Our Beta Club has teamed up with the Memphis Food Bank for a very special send off. They are working together to send children home for the weekend with backpacks of food every week.

Our featured teacher for this week is third grade leader, Ms. Julia Shaffer. Ms. Shaffer has been teaching for 3 years and “loves that every day is different.” She states her favorite part about teaching at CIAA is how teachers work together to make it such a supportive

atmosphere.With TCAP right

around the corner, we are coming up on very exciting and busy weeks ahead so send your stu-dents to school ready to win! Remember, we are

winding down yearbook sales, so parents send in your yearbook forms this week. Also, CIAA open enrollment ends on April 20th so everyone make a trip to CIAA and join in the pursuit of success!

The Munford FFA Chapter recently traveled to Gatlinburg to attend the 84th Annual Tennes-see State FFA Convention that was held April 2-4.

Competing in four con-tests, they brought home three titles and advanc-ing in Extemporaneous Public Speaking, Parlia-mentary Procedure and Ag Sales Career Devel-opment Events.

After two rounds of intense competition, the Parliamentary Procedure team took the state title. Team members were Lauren Agcanas, Re-bekah Davenport, Jessie Pyland, Raynette John-son, Tara Swirka, and El-ena Smith.

The Agricultural Sales team also excelled, as they swept the competi-tion. Jeff Rogers, Elena Smith, Payton Hender-shott, and Rebekah Dav-enport were all competi-tors on the team.

Finally, Jessie Pyland

succeeded in winning first place in the Extem-poraneous Public Speak-ing Competition.

As well as winning all of the previous com-petitions, the chapter achieved first-place hon-ors in eight proficiencies: Jeff Rogers in Vegetable Production, Jonathan Warren in Grain Produc-tion Entrepreneurship, Shelby Simmons in Goat Production, Raynette Johnson in Agricultural Sales Entrepreneurship, Alex Pitts in Agricul-tural Education, Caleb Tibbits in Agricultural Mechanics Design and Fabrication, Tara Swirka in Emerging Agriculture Technology, and Marga-ret Mize in Integrated Systems Research.

Other awards the chapter received were 100 percent membership,

Camp Clements Superior Chapter Award, State Su-perior Chapter and Na-tional Gold Chapter.

It was an honor to have former Munford FFA student and Tennessee Technological University freshman, Katelyn Butch-er, represent the chapter as a State Officer Can-didate.

Bill Newsom, agricul-ture teacher and FFA ad-visor, was awarded the VIP award for his years of continual service and dedication to the state as-sociation.

The Munford FFA Chapter represented Tip-ton County and the City of Munford extremely well in each of their ac-complishments. The state winners will compete at National Convention this October in Indianapo-lis, Indiana in hopes of obtaining the national titles.

Munford claims tournament titleSOFTBALL ROUNDUP

By JEFF [email protected]

Early in the season, Munford lost a couple of games largely due to defensive mistakes.

Head coach Glenn Goulder believes the problem is getting worked out.

Munford got solid defense throughout the Covington In-vitational last weekend and went 5-0 to bring home the championship.

“Defensively, we're doing re-ally well right now,” Goulder said.

“I think we only made two errors the entire Covington tournament. When you do that you stay in ballgames.”

On Saturday in the title game against Dyersburg, Munford turned a double play and a triple play and beat the Lady Trojans 7-2.

Tara Comer hit a two-run homer in the game and Tori Ray hit a solo shot to lead the offense.

Paige Barnes took care of the rest, scattering nine hits over seven innings to earn the win.

Munford (21-7) defeated

Dyer County 6-1 in the semi-finals. Amanda Levin drove in two runs and Ray had two hits and an RBI. Alex Stanford struck out three to earn the win.

The Lady Cougars host Brighton in a key district game today at 6:30 p.m. before host-ing Covington on Friday.

In other action: • Munford beat Adamsville

8-0 on Saturday in tourney ac-tion. Sami Jo Schulz tripled, Stanford drove in two runs and Barnes drove in three. Comer struck out seven to earn the

win. • Comer hit a two-run hom-

er and drove in three in a 6-0 win over Dyersburg on Friday in the tournament. Levin sin-gled and doubled and Barnes struck out three and pitched a five-inning one-hitter.

• Schulz had an RBI double and Jodi Duncan and Alex Turner singled in a 4-0 win over Bartlett on Friday.

Stanford struck out eight in the win.

• Munford defeated Milling-ton 12-0 last Wednesday.

Turner hit a three-run homer,

her fifth of the season. Lindsey Owen drove in two

with a double and Ray was 2 for 3. Comer earn the pitching win.

• Munford beat Dyer Coun-ty 8-2 last Thursday and 12-2 on Tuesday. Stanford had two doubles and three RBI in Thurs-day's win and Ray tripled.

Barnes allowed one hit over four-plus innings for the win. Duncan was 3 for 3 with two triples and three RBI in Tues-day's win and Comer struck out two in five innings for the win.

Lady Cards stay hot

CHS falls in semisBy STEVE [email protected]

It was a week chock full of games for the Lady Chargers, seven in all in district, tournament and in-county rival play.

The annual Covington Invita-tional played out Friday and Sat-urday with CHS going 3-0 in pool play before falling to Dyersburg in the semifinals.

Covington defeated Dyer Coun-ty 5-1 on Friday, scoring all of its runs in the second inning. Autumn Glenn got the win, allowing four hits with six strikeouts.

The Lady Chargers blanked Bartlett 7-0 later in the day. Gab-by Glenn tossed a one-hitter. She struck out six and walked three. Autumn Glenn, Gabby Gleen and Hannah Clifton had a pair of hits each.

After falling behind 3-1 through four innings in the semifinal on Saturday, CHS tied the game with Dyersburg with two runs in the fifth, only to see the Lady Trojans get the game-winner with a tally in the sixth for a 4-3 win.

Autumn Glenn took the loss. She surrendered eight hits and a walk and struck out four. Gabby Glenn had the only extra base hit for CHS, a triple.

Covington (13-6-1) returns to

By JEFF [email protected]

Brighton entered its own tour-nament last weekend as one of the hottest teams around and did nothing to change that status.

The Lady Cardinals defeated Tipton-Rosemark, Memphis Cen-tral and Marion (Ark.) in tourna-ment play to extend their winning streak to 11 games.

Brighton beat TRA, the defend-ing DII-A state champs, 5-3 on Fri-day.

The Lady Cardinals pushed five runs across in the second inning. TRA answered with three in the sixth but could not complete the comeback.

Laura Judy singled in a pair of runs for Brighton and Bri McBride drove in one.

Becky Judy struck out six over six innings to earn the win.

Brooklyn Simpson was 2 for 3 with two RBI for TRA and Rox-eanna Kimes and Audra Bibb each doubled.

Kimes struck out five and al-lowed just four hits in five innings for TRA.

On Saturday, Kara Glover tri-pled and Morgan Shaver drove in three to lead Brighton past Cen-tral 15-0.

In Brighton's 5-2 win over Mar-ion, McBride was 3 for 3 with a double and two RBI and Glover, Haley Craig and Haley McDill each had two hits.

Laura Judy struck out eight over six innings to earn the win.

The Lady Cardinals play at Mu-nford tonight at 6:30 in district ac-tion.

A festive final act to the CHS basketball season opened on April 9 as the CHS Roundball Club hosted a banquet in honor of the Charger men’s and women’s teams.

Every senior player and cheerleader will graduate and go on to a 4-year university, save one who earned a basketball scholarship at a two-year school. Every senior boy, namely Devione Draine, Ric Dickerson, Jawan Alston, Shelton Ly-ons and Adrian Frost, was named to the District 13-AA All-Academic team, which requires a 3.0 GPA or better. Allie Moss, Demiah Eaton and TaSheena Adams earned spots on the ladies District 13-AA Academic team.

The aforementioned eight players and J’La Brandon, Pre-cious Harvey, Briuna Dean, Tia Burnett, Tierra Williams, Iesha Tipton, Anne Marie Van Cleve, Kaleb Estes, Jesse Somerville, DeMarcus Seaberry, Delvin Russell and Montel Williams were all recognized for their 3.0+ GPAs as under-classmen.

In district and regional awards the following Lady Char-gers were noted:

Iesha Carruthers, Demiah Eaton – All District Honorable Mention

Kamesha Van Pelt, Precious Harvey – 1st team All Dis-trict

A new National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) poll conducted by Harris Interactive found that more Americans are target shooting now than six months ago and that “home and personal defense” were the main reasons Americans recently purchased firearms.

The poll also showed that 43 percent of respondents, which equates to nearly 98 million people, expressed some level of interest in par-ticipating in the shooting sports or hunting.

“Last year was a banner year for lawful firearm sales, and the results of this poll sug-gest the desires for personal security and recreation were drivers of most of those purchases,” read a statement from the National Shooting Sports Foundation, trade association for the firearms industry. “The poll also reaffirms something we’ve known for a long time that many millions of Americans want to try target shooting or hunting and are just waiting for an invitation from an experienced shooter to go to the range or afield. So, firearms owners, what are you waiting for? Make that invitation and share the enjoyment of

recreational shooting or hunting with someone eager to go.”

The online survey was conducted March 16-18 by Harris Interactive, which performs periodic surveys for NSSF shooting and hunting partici-pation. The questions were asked of general population adults 18 and over.

Here are some of their findings:• Some 18.4 million Americans

“currently partici-pate” in handgun target shooting and 14.8 million in rifle target shoot-ing, an increase from the 16.8 mil-lion and 13.9 mil-lion, respectively, from an NSSF poll conducted by Har-ris Interactive last September.

• Participation in the shotgun sports

of “skeet/trap” as 4.2 million in each of those categories.

• In response to a question about why Americans made their most re-cent firearm purchase, 40 percent of respondents said “home protection” followed by 36 percent citing “per-sonal protection.” Target shooting (30 percent) and hunting (28 percent ) came next.

• The main barrier to people going target shooting more often? “Cost of ammunition” was cited by 50 percent

of the respondents, followed by “not enough free time.” (43 percent)

The survey highlighted the power of a personal invitation to motivate an individual to go target shooting or hunting. Some 45 percent of re-spondents said an “invitation from friend or family’ would most encour-age them to participate, ranking this personal interaction far ahead of all forms of advertising.

Once invited by a friend or fam-ily member, respondents said they would want to...

• Shoot a hand gun at the range (77 percent)

• Shoot a rifle at the range (69 per-cent)

• Go plinking (55 percent)• Fire shotguns at clay targets (54

percent)• Take a self protection class (54

percent)• Go hunting for various game spe-

cies (25 percent)Our future and destiny as hunters

and shooters can be improved con-siderably by taking the poll’s advice.

Invite someone to go hunting and shooting with you. If not today, then tomorrow. We will need their support and maybe sometime their vote.

Remember to keep your powder dry and your eyes on the horizon.

COMMENTARY

There has never been a time like thisBy Pastor Freeman WeemsAtoka Baptist Church

I think we could all agree that we are living in unusual times. The divisions in our country seem to be widening instead of closing. Biblical faith is being ridiculed in the public and downplayed by those who you would think should trumpet it. Things we have taken for granted in America are suddenly being dis-carded for a “secular” society. Atheists who have long been content to do “their thing” have come out with a ven-geance in assaulting the Christian foundation of our coun-try and churches in particular. Dr. David Jeremiah recently wrote a book entitled, I Never Thought I’d See the Day, detailing some of the changes in America. There has never been a time like this in America.

So what does this mean to us? What should we as believers be doing to stem the tide? Is there anything we can do? These and many more questions swirl in our minds as we are confronted nearly

every day with some new area of attack. First of all, I would like to say do not despair. God is still on His throne. He has not been taken by surprise nor is He wringing His hands in heaven wondering what to do next! This is a time when

faithfulness is called for in the face of seemingly overwhelming odds. Christianity does not need the government’s approval to function. Some so-called reli-gions falter and fail if they do not control the politics of the day. The faith of Christ does not need political support to flourish. Do not be-come discouraged when

unbelievers, atheists, or secularists seem to be running things; they are not, God is.

Stemming the tide of irreligious attitudes and events is the work of the Holy Spirit. We should speak out when moral issues are in de-bate. The morality of the world is flexible and not fixed. Postmod-ernism and atheism have one thing in common, their belief that there are no moral absolutes. If society is to have fixed reference points to measure morality, it will come

from the Bible and the body of Christ, the New Testament church being vocal about them. We are not perfect. Being a Christian does not put us above sin and fleshly cor-ruption. We must be honest about our failures and faults, but should never allow them to be used to si-lence us. We may not be able to stop the flow of our society toward practical atheism, but we must not lay down our spiritual arms and silence our voices.

This is a political season with a major election coming up in No-vember. Politics are important and we should all pay attention to what the candidates do, say, and their positions on such things as abortion. We should never forget that the work of God is infinitely more important than any political campaign or politician. Christians should vote and should vote based on biblical, not party, principles. Our hope is in God and not in gov-ernment. It is unbiblical to expect the government to do what God has promised He would do for us. There has never been a time like this, but it is a great time to shine for the Lord. Pick up your armor, Christian! Join in the fray and re-member that we are to be on the Lord’s side in everything.

Pastor Freeman Weems
