A crowd of 50 to 75 people gathered at Shelton Park in Covington from 5 – 7 p.m. to wave signs on the highway and preach the gospel of the TEA party movement. The TEA party is a grass- roots organization that became popular on Tax Day of 2009 that protests what the group refers to as excessive taxation and socialist tendencies of the US gov- ernment. It is an acronym for “Taxed Enough Already” and references the Boston Tea Party where citizens gath- ered to protest taxation without rep- resentation in the British government. TEA party member Bill Wallace said, “The goal is to unite people of all po- litical parties in our common goal of re- turning to the Constitution as our rule and guide for good government. It is not an attempt at a 3rd party movement or a racially oriented nor hate-motivat- ed group.” The event’s Master of Ceremonies was Leah Coop and had several speak- ers and music provided by the band, The Wisemen. The first speaker was Dr. Dale Bails, Professor of Economics at Christian Brothers University. He was followed by, veteran Randy McKee, Steve Childress, Nancy Lind, Vince Di- Cello and Dr. Raymond Gardocki, MD who provided his opinion on how the healthcare bill would affect his profes- sion as a surgeon. Several people in the crowd openly spoke during an “open mike” session including Ron Kirkland, a congressional candidate in the repub- lican primary for District 8. “The most important thing I can do in Congress is to try to repeal the health- care bill, then focus on the economy,” said Kirkland. “We are here to speak out about the governments actions and be a voice for the people.” The program also had tables with sign-up sheets and clothes and food to purchase and used as fundraisers. There was a lot of applause and enthu- siasm with the crowd with several even marching up and down the sidewalk next to Highway 51, waving signs of protest and encouraging passing cars to honk in approval. “We are very concerned about the federal government’s encroachment on our private lives,” said Wallace. “For decades, now, we have gradually yield- ed our control of our elected officials.

The agreement between the doctors was that Elliston could take over Price’s practice if Elliston would agree to hire Price’s wife, Mary Sue, as his nurse. Two years later, “Doc Elliston” met and fell in love with first-year teacher Louise Gower from Springfield. Family members say Elliston was impressed with Gower who, at 22, had already earned a masters degree and com- pleted a year of teaching. The two were married in May 1941 and became the par- ents of three children – Dan, Katherine and Joan – in the six years that followed. During that time, the school board did not permit female teachers to continue teach- ing after marriage, so Louise began her career working with her husband’s medical prac- tice. In 1950, Elliston opened a 12-bed hospital at the end of Main Street in Covington, the first of its kind in Tipton County. The Ellistons ran the hospital for two decades. In 1970, the hospital was closed and it became the Elliston clin- ic. With a thriving practice, Elliston delivered an estimated 4,000 babies in Tipton County.

Tipton County lost one of its finest philanthropists Sunday with the passing of longtime physician and medical exam-iner Dr. Lewis Daniel Elliston.

“He was a pillar of the com-munity,” said daughter Joan. “He established the first hos-pital in the county and then donated it to the Carl Perkins Center. He was a philanthro-pist to and a longtime sup-

porter of the organization.” Elliston came to Covington

in 1937 after paying his way through medical school. While working in a hospital in Kirksville, Mo., he became aware of a job opportunity in Covington, replacing Dr. Vivian Price, a longtime physi-cian who had become bedrid-den.

The agreement between the doctors was that Elliston could take over Price’s practice if Elliston would agree to hire

Price’s wife, Mary Sue, as his nurse.

Two years later, “Doc Elliston” met and fell in love with first-year teacher Louise Gower from Springfield.

MUNFORD - An early morning

brawl landed three brothers in jail and two police officers in the hos-pital Sunday, local law enforcement agencies said.

Just before 1 a.m. on April 18, Munford police officers were dis-patched to RJ's Restaurant on Quinton Drive after reports that a large fight was in progress.

"I looked up and saw one of the Tate brothers on the patio punching someone," said restaurant owner Russ Johnson. "I went out there and tried to break it up, to tell him we don't do stuff like this here, but he got another punch in before I got there."

Johnson, who was punched in the process of trying to break up the fight, said one of his employ-ees called the police and patrons involved in the fight left the restau-rant before officers arrived.

"I told them to call the police because I knew it'd get out of hand,"

Johnson said. "Warrants obtained by The Leader

indicate officers arrived on the scene and were directed to Munford Tire and Towing on Watson Road where police say several subjects were standing in the parking lot.

Patrolman Daniel Hamm, one of the initial officers on the scene, reportedly asked Toby Tate, 32, to exit the building and ask the oth-ers inside to come out as well, but reports indicate Tate told Hamm to do it.

MUNFORD – A city-

wide effort to beautify Munford will take place this Saturday, city offi-cials have announced.

In conjunction with Keep Tipton County Beautiful, the city's annual spring clean-up is an effort to remove lit-ter and debris from city streets and parks.

“The City of Munford is pleased to part-ner with Keep Tipton County Beautiful to offer its citizens an organized day to come together to beautify our city,” said Mayor Dwayne Cole.

Cole and community development direc-tor Barbara Dorn said volunteers from area churches, businesses, civic groups and scout-ing organizations will gather at 8 a.m. at City Hall to kick off the clean-up.

Other volunteers are needed and welcomed to assist in the effort.

Instructions, door prizes, refreshments and supplies will be given and volunteers will start at an assigned area. Gloves are not provid-ed.

“Volunteers should also know there are areas away from roadsides available for clean up for families and groups with younger volun-teers,” added committee chairperson Stacy Craig.

"Based on the amount of volunteerism, we'll hit the main drags first," Dorn said. "Volunteers with small children and the scouts will work in the parks and along roads that aren't busy. There's a place for every-one to fit in."

Dorn said door prizes have been donated by local merchants and can be won by volunteers. Refreshments will also be provided.

"McDonald's has again graciously donat-ed refreshments," Dorn said. "They've been with us every year."

The clean-up effort will conclude at approx-imately 11:30 a.m., but the clean-up effort will not end with Saturday's event.

Last year, the city began a recycling pro-gram, placing a large recycling bin at City Hall, and this year a Keep Munford Beautiful initiative is in the devel-opmental phase.

"We're working to develop a Keep Munford Beautiful committee, an on-going initiative to beautify our city," said Dorn.

Dorn said Al Bell, Munford's new code enforcement and build-ing inspector, has been canvassing the city's neighborhoods and making attempts to help bring residents into compliances with ordi-nances.

"He was pre-cursor to this event," she said. "It's not just about beautifica-tion, it's about safety in some cases."

Saturday's event

will be the fourth for Munford and Cole said each year more volun-teers come out to help.

“Every year we have seen the clean up grow in numbers and excite-ment," he said. "People are taking pride in help-ing others and ensuring the beauty of their com-munity.”

To help Munford with its clean-up efforts, please contact Barbara Dorn at 901-837-5972 or 901-50-0108.

In the event of inclem-ent weather, the clean-up will be cancelled.

Clean-up CovingtonThe City of Covington

will also be hosting its sixth annual Clean Up/Fix Up Covington event with a march across the city on Saturday.

The event culminates a week-long effort to clean and beautify the county seat.

“Every year more residents come out and help to make Covington a beautiful and cleaner

city,” said Robert M. Simpson, director of public works.

Covington's clean-up will begin at 8 a.m. at the city maintenance shop, located at 410 E. Ripley Street.

Upon registration, volunteers will be given a t-shirt, garbage grab-ber and assigned a team leader and areas of the city to clean. At noon, volunteers

will meet back at the city maintenance shop for lunch, sponsored by Barker Brothers Waste Inc.

Door prizes, donated by Covington business-es, will be given away during lunch.

For more information on how to help, contact Simpson at 901-476-9531.

Holland is the daugh-ter of Wayne and Marti Locke of Covington and George Thomas Holland III of Memphis. She is a 2004 graduate of CHS and a 2008 graduate of UT.

She holds a degree in history and graduated magna cum laude. While at UT, she contributed to The Daily Beacon and to The Weekly Voice. She said she enjoys covering news and politics and extensively covered the 2006 Tennessee guber-natorial and Harold Ford, Bob Corker senate campaign.

She said she looks for-ward to covering stories about the people and places she grew up with, though.

“I think it’s going to be good to touch on so many of the human inter-est stories and smalltown quirks – the good things – that don’t often get no-

ticed but that deserved to be told,” she said.

Holland is a devout Volunteers fan and fol-lows UT sports in her spare time and enjoys traveling and spending time with friends.

She replaces Sherri On-orati who has left to oper-ate a downtown business. Onorati said she will con-tinue to make contribu-tions to the newspaper from time to time.

“We’re sorry to lose Sherri and at the same time, we’re excited to get Tiffany on board,” Black-ley said. “Sherri served us well and is committed to the community. We plan to continue working together, but she is turn-ing her attention toward her own business, and understandably so. We do feel in Tiffany we have found someone who will continue the tradition of community service and devotion to our readers.”

secured the scene and interviewed witnesses.

Logan, 23, was alleged-ly belligerent and ignored officers' commands, shouted at officers and suspects and others on the scene, according to the affidavit.

Deputies said Logan's behavior excited the crowd and made it dif-ficult for others to main-tain order.

Fearing a riot resulting from his behavior, Logan was arrested.

The third Tate brother allegedly made threats against Deputy Zac Edwards, the transport-ing officer, and his fam-ily. Once at the patrol unit, Logan reportedly attempted to headbutt Edwards.

The affidavit said Edwards controlled his active aggression, injur-ing his left hand in the

process.Patrolman Daniel

Hamm was transport-ed to Methodist North Hospital where he was treated for facial contu-sions and swelling of the right eye and jaw.

Though the incident began at RJ's, Johnson said he is not to blame for the assault.

"We are what we are. We're a restaurant, we do serve alcohol and we have good, quality enter-tainment," he said. "I'm not defending them, but I've never had an issue with them before."

The incident occurred during a fundrais-ing event for St. Jude's Children's Hospital. The Mighty Electric St. Jude Band was on stage per-forming.

Johnson said more than $1,350 was raised to fund cancer research, but

the event was overshad-owed by the fight.

"Any time you work in that environment and someone throws a punch, it's tough," he said. "It's really unfortunate about the officers. I hate that happened."

Logan Tate was charged with disorderly conduct. Aaron and Toby Tate were both charged with assault on a police officer.

All three brothers were arraigned in Tipton County General Sessions Court on Tuesday after-noon.

Logan was given a $2,500 bond and is set to appear in court again on May 25.

Aaron and Toby were given $5,000 bonds each and a court date of May 21.

The brothers are report-edly free on bond.

This Saturday, April 24 families and friends will gather for the first Brighton Festival to play games, have some good food, enjoy a car show and hear some local music.

Held in the BHS park-ing lot on Highway 51 the event will be from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. and is free to the public. It serves as a fundraiser for the BHS and BMS bands and is being organized by the band boosters. Students will be present to serve up food, drinks and activities for the people in attendance.

Many people are plan-ning on the Brighton festival to be an annual event in order to sup-port the students of the school and help out in

their musical endeavors. A stage will be set up

for several musical acts performing including the local bands Chris Rutledge and the Radio Night Band and Mem-phis Trio. Also playing some tunes will be the BHS and BMS bands. Other forms of enter-tainment include games where people can win prizes. One of the games is a cow patty competi-tion that is played like “BINGO” with a coun-try style. There is also a petting zoo that is sure to entrance young

children at the event, and a “celebrity” dunk take where people will have a chance to dunk such people as Brighton High Principal Katherine Roe. Other community leaders are still invited to volunteer to be in the dunk tank.

Vendors and a car show will also be at the festival. School clubs will occupy several booths. The high school organi-zation Students Against Destructive Decisions will be hosting a car wash at the event. “This is a chance for people to

get involved and help out with the school,” said band booster and organizer Jennifer Wilbanks. “It is also a chance to be a part of their children’s musical life and see what they are doing in band.”

People are still able to participate in the car show and be a vendor and can register for these events up until the morning of the festival. If someone would like to participate in either than can contact Jim Palmer 592-8925.

U.S. legislation. These causes are justified by grants and subsidies pro-vided the states and local government by career politicians.”

However, not every-one agrees with the TEA party ideals. Shelton Rus-sell, a Covington native, drove past the event just to see how many people were there, but disagreed with the organization’s goals.

“As a recent college student, I know what it is to not have health care and worry. I am proud of Obama for getting this bill through because it helps people,” said Russell. “I do not feel that (the TEA party) represents the ma-jority of Americans.”

The debate the Tipton County TEA party go-ers fight will continue for the rest of the year. In late May, they will take a trip to Gatlinburg for the Ten-nessee TEA Party Coali-tion Convention. Anyone can attend the event.

Readers' viewsThanks for the support

Dear Editor,I would like to take this opportunity to express my

thanks and that of the many children and parents who attended the City of Munford’s Annual Easter Egg Hunt. The weather was beautiful and there were more than 250 children present to enjoy the festivities.

It takes many hours of preparation to coordinate an event of this size and the MPR staff does a wonderful job with this day in and day out, but we could not host an event like this without our sponsors. First and foremost, thank you to Naifeh’s Food Rite; they have been our premier sponsor for this event for many years. Also, thank you to the following benefactors for their ongoing support of our community’s children and the programs and events the City offers them: Angel’s Air and Heat, Angel’s Closet and Booknook, DarrBe Lane, Tan Times, Pro Master Tax, Haddad’s, Bruce’s Barber and Style Shop, Racine’s, Play It Again, Cash Express, Sew Crazy, Kroger, Speight Medical, T-County Trendz and Munford Tire and Brake. Additionally our thanks go to Dr. Nichol’s Dentistry, Fred’s, Cannon Chiropractic, Hair & Body Works, Pop’s BP, Domino’s, Ideal Cleaners, Gateway Tire, Patriot Bank, Walgreen’s, WJ’s Discount Tobacco, Sonic, First South Credit Union, Changes Hair Salon, JT’s Burger & Wings, Signprints and McDonald’s. Again, Munford Parks and Recreation could not offer

this event to the public without the support of these fi ne businesses.

A special thank you to the volunteers: Shannon Meyer, Linda McGowan, Roger Walker, Tammy Lumpkin, Sara Wells and Matthew and Eden Walls. Without the support of so many, this event would not be the success that it is year after year.

My sincerest gratitude,Glenn Beard, Director

City of Munford Parks and Recreation

What’s in a name? Turns out a lotMake no mistake

about it: Tipton Coun-ty Clerk Pam Deen is retiring. Period.

The veteran com-munity servant has decided to hang up her career after 40 years of service in the offi ce of County Clerk and after 16 years as serving as chief executive in that department.

But the story doesn’t exactly end there. Deen’s depar-ture is not without its controversy through no doing of her own.

In addition to the usual fi eld of candi-dates one would ex-pect to register to run for the job a departing incumbent leaves be-hind – employees from the offi ce, and those interested in commu-nity service – comes a candidate named “Pam Dean.” Note the spelling difference.

Unfortunately, Ms. Dean has decided to run under a shortened

version of her name which sounds identi-cal to the incumbent’s name. It would have been preferable for her to have used a full name, which could help create a distinc-tion between the two, but that's not the case.

The Leader does not endorse political candidates and this is not an endorsement for or against any can-didate for any offi ce. It is an attempt to set the record straight and make it crystal clear to the readers of this newspaper what is go-ing on in this situation so that local voters can understand and make informed decisions about the candidates they’ll support and for whom they’ll vote.

That’s why we’re making it abundantly clear that despite the similarity of name (or the exact same pro-nunciation), Pam Deen

and Pam Dean are not the same person and, indeed, Pam Dean, whose name will appear on your voter’s ballot August 5 (or before if you vote absentee), is not the incumbent who has announced her retire-ment but a completely different candidate altogether.

Again, our role here is to inform, not to sway your vote one way or the other. While we would prefer to say little or nothing about political can-didates and let them speak for themselves, this situation is confus-ing enough to warrant additional commen-tary. Again, we only want you to be in a po-sition to make the best decision possible and this could be compro-mised by the confusion created by this candi-date’s name.

We, as always, encourage our read-ers and the voters of Tipton County to get educated about the folks seeking to rep-resent them in public offi ce. Your tax dollars are spent on the sala-ries these folks receive (some hefty and some not) and on the bud-gets their departments have.

Get to know the folks who are running. Get informed. Get fa-miliar with what they stand for and what they plan to do for Tipton County.

Doing this will help you see through the confusion that could otherwise be created when the name “Pam Dean” appears on the ballot. Again, the candidate you'll see is not the incumbent, but a political newcomer with a strikingly simi-lar name.

Editorial Opinion

Coming home

I told myself I was going to leave here and never come back.

Once I graduated from Covington High, I never wanted to come back home again. I consid-ered college at Ole Miss and University of Mem-phis, but I ultimately chose to go to the University of Tennessee over on the other side of the state in Knoxville mainly because it was a good six hours away (and a slight obsession I have with the Vols). And when I left I almost never came back. My holidays were spent on road trips, football games and staying out all night with friends and my summertime was occupied in other cities. It was all my mother could do to get me to come home at Christmas.

Slowly but surely I began to lose touch with the people I went to high school with. Things like Christmas city and "riding through the bottoms" became a distant memory.

When I graduated I still had no desire to return to Tipton County. I moved around and ended up with a good job, with a good salary and thought I had everything figured out. I was surrounded by single, college-educated twenty-somethings who drank Starbucks by the gallon, loved President Obama and lived their lives by how many business cards they gave out everyday. I dated guys from New England who went to prep schools and my friends teased my extremely southern, small town upbringing. Even though I’d been gone from Covington for six years, I still always asked people to “carry me to town” even when we were in a large city. Everything was fast paced and weeks would go by without calling my family who still lived in the house I grew up in. And I was completely satisfied with this lifestyle. This is what I always thought I wanted.

Then the economy tanked. I lost my job in Washington D.C. and not a soul in the office even cared. I was just a number. My landlord didn’t care either since I had to move out of my fabulous apartment. I lost my all my club memberships and no longer had a salary to blow on overpriced cof-fee. I had no other choice. The one thing I feared more than anything in my life was about to come true.

I had to move in with my parents in Covington.With my ego and self esteem shattered I did

nothing at home but regroup about what to do in this bad economy. Everything here was so quiet. There was no hustle and bustle. There weren’t huge changes from when I last lived here but little things were different. The Walmart is on the other side of town with a lot of other businesses. The Kroger parking lot has a gas station in the middle of it. The Country Kitchen is gone. New places abound.

I thought my old friends from Covington would turn up their nose at me, since I had so quickly disposed of them when I left. I thought the people from the Methodist church I grew up in stopped caring about me, since I couldn’t remember the last time I’d been to church without someone forcing me. I thought the teachers I had and the people who saw me grow up had forgotten about me since I hadn’t thought of them in so long. But I was wrong.

When people found out I lost my job and was home again, my old high school friends invited me out with them, the church prayed for me and everyone I would run into greeted me with a smile. That is the thing about towns like Coving-ton. The thing people only appreciate when they are from a small town, people don’t forget you and they don’t stop caring because you are part of the town no matter where you go. People in Tipton County care for their community and its people.

Instead of wallowing in misery, I began to ap-preciate everything around me from the way the women gossip at hair salons to the way people ask who my grandparents are in order to identify me.

A few weeks ago I began to apply for jobs with a different outlook. My parents are getting older and I realized it would be nice to be close to them. My brother goes to school in Memphis and I have had a chance to reconnect with him. So when I heard that The Leader needed a writer I decided to apply. Not only do I enjoy news writing but I can say now, with the fullest of confidence, that I truly appreciate what it means live here, in a world where people don’t treat you like a number.

I am excited and especially grateful to be writing for the paper of the county I grew up in. Every-

ON THE RECORD

SEE RECORD, PAGE A5

Page 5: Leader 4-22-10

I can just imagine city slickers thinking that a graveyard in the middle of the summer is not the best place to have any fun. That’s what we called it and still do. A graveyard. I guess rich people or ‘up to dos’ call it a cemetery, but us ig’nurnt country folks refer to our final resting place as a ‘graveyard.’

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, we had this fun thing going on with ‘Big’ Paul in the middle of the graveyard. Since Paul, Lynn and I mowed the graveyard; we knew there was going to be as funeral pretty soon. With the new dug grave and the copper colored dirt about forty feet high there was going to be an interesting time fairly soon.

We had lured Paul to the graveyard by way of Mr. Hugh’s store for refreshments. Arvis, ‘the Rabbit’, had crawled down inside the freshly dug grave waiting for the opportune time to play---“Casper the Ghost.” Phil and Emer-son positioned them-selves on each side, in opposite directions of the freshly dug grave, about thirty or forty feet apart.

‘Big’ Paul was deter-mined not to go near the black hole. So he ma-neuvered the bottomless pit like two White-faced bulls, pawing and circling, preparing to tangle.

Although it was bar-ley dusky dark, visions popped up in every-one’s head. I’ll admit I wasn’t the bravest soul in the world. When Paul got reasonably close, Arvis real slowly, and in a deep bass at that young age, deeply moaned, “it’s cold in here.” The hair flared up on Paul’s neck, and ears perked like a fight-ing Tomcat. “What was ’zat?” We acted like we didn’t hear anything. But I did! Yep!

Phil let out a blood curdling wwwoooo! Emerson followed with a bbboooo! Paul’s instincts told him to run. But, I think his feet were stuck in black quick-sand. He hollered loud

enough to be heard at Hickory Valley. “There’s ghosts heah!” “Better ‘git’!”

‘Big’ Paul turned and would have run over us, but we had formed a wall and told him, “it’s faster to run straight ahead.” Sloshing his drink, but never spilling a drop, Paul broke and ran. When the ‘ghosts’ heard his screaming and hollering, they cut loose with, “help me out.” Others pleaded, “I’m in a hole, please save me.” “They ‘gonna’ bury me alive.” Continuing, “I ain’t dead, please help me!” With all the cat-calls and wooing, Paul ran wide open toward the back side of the graveyard. In the night-time, he fell over some small half hidden head-stones and we found out later, he ‘skint’ his legs real badly. We cut the graveyard, so we knew where the head-stones were located and dodged them.

Finally, Paul gave up and took off by himself running back toward Barretville. He didn’t care or sense, we weren’t with him. But in the dim light, and not knowing the terrain, Paul ran into a hog wire fence that surrounded the graveyard. As country farmers know, the wire wasn’t strung real tight. More like a decoration. We were trying to catch Paul, but he was running ‘skeered fast’. However, when he hit the wire, it was like a springboard that threw him backward. He landed on his shoulders with his feet pointing

toward the moon. But, no lost cold drink. Naw sirrreee!!

There was a pierc-ing scream similar to a bobcat in the middle of the woods, “They got me, they got me!” “Help, help, help!” We were trying to get to Paul, but he got up and hit the fence again, but this time he stayed on his feet. When he realized what he hit, he snatched the top staples out of the posts, jumped the tromped down wire and proceeded to dart toward the black top. We are hollering to stop. But no way. He’s wide open.

Phil, Emerson and Bobby had to return and fish ‘Rabbit’ out of the hole. Finally, we caught Paul about half way to Barretville. He was flying. Out of breath and bent over, all he could say was, “I told y’all that graveyards is hainted.” “They is full of ghosts.” “I seen ’em.” “A whole bunch of ‘em.” I ain’t ‘gonna’ disagree or laugh, ’cause he’ll kill me. It was now late for us youngsters, so we called it day. But, not with Paul. He very, very urgently insisted we walk him home, ’cause the ghosts might follow if he is alone. No arguing with ‘Big’ Paul.

After depositing Paul at Mr. Eugene’s front doorstep, we skipped and bounced toward Mr. Ben’s store. Once out of sight, we got down on the black top and had a serious, deep, belly laugh for a while. But, I’m glad Paul couldn’t hear us. It was several days before Paul showed up at Mr. Ben’s emporium. By this time, the new had worn off. As I think back, maybe the philosophers felt sorry for him and didn’t bring it up. I know I didn’t want my crew cut parted with a double bit axe handle, so I didn’t say anything.

Just Another Day or Night, in a Wonderful Southern Graveyard…..GLORY!!!

Elliston was an honorary fellow in the American College of General Practitioners in Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery, said Joan.

In 1996, at age 82, Elliston closed his practice and donated his clinic to the Exchange Club-Carl Perkins Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse. It is still in operation today.

He became the Tipton County medi-cal examiner in 1970 while he contin-ued to practice as a medical doctor. He retired from that position in May 2006 after 36 years of service to the county.

“He worked long hours and until an old age,” Joan said. “He was robust until the end.”

Elliston enjoyed being called a “coun-try doctor,” a position he took very seriously.

In a 2006 interview with The Leader, Elliston said today’s doctors are differ-ent than those that began practicing in his era.

“There’s something different in med-icine today,” Elliston said. “People used to care. They don’t anymore ... they need to forget that dollar sign and spend more time with the patient.”

Though he worked long hours, Joan said her father still found time to be active with his children and travel all over the world.

“He was a wonderful father,” she said. “He was always full of fun, always ready to go. We called him ‘the Energizer bunny.’”

Joan traveled extensively with her father – in Switzerland, Alaska and many other locations.

“We did it so my mother could have peace and quiet,” she joked.

An avid hunter, fisherman and golfer, Joan said her father was always ready for a challenge. The two skid down a mountain in Switzerland and saw gla-ciers in Alaska. They’d been around the world several times. Elliston had also taken lessons from one of Tiger Woods’ trainers, she said.

“He took leisure trips and medical trips,” said Joan. “He loved every place he went.”

And though he traveled all over the world, Elliston was proud to call Covington home.

“He loved Tipton County and Covington. He chose to live here rather than in Memphis because he thought he could make a difference here.”

Always looking forward to the future,

Joan said her father was proud of his age.

“When he turned 95, he said was going to turn 96,” she said. “Most peo-ple aren’t like that.”

Dr. Elliston was preceded in death by his wife, Louise Gower Elliston, and his daughter, Katherine Elliston Simonian.

He is survived by his two children, Dr. Dan Elliston, Jr. of Nashville, and Joan Louise Elliston of Chevy Chase, Md.; seven grandchildren, Carl Elliston of Bellevue, NY, Alex Simonian of Mem-phis, Lauren Simonian of Murfrees-boro, David Elliston, Michael Elliston and Paul Elliston of the Asheville, N.C. area, and Danielle Elliston of Nashville; his great-grandchild, Emma Louise El-liston, of Bellevue, N.Y.

Joan said her father was an accom-plished photographer and pursued in-terests in music.

He was a member of the First United Methodist Church, the Rotary Club and lifetime member of the Covington Ma-sons and the Al Chymia Shriners. He was also a founder of the Covington Country Club.

Joan said she will miss her father’s energy most.

“He was always ready to go – he was just complete energy and fun,” she said. “He was my best friend.”

The family requests that any memori-als be sent to the The Exchange Club-Carl Perkins Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse in Tipton County, El-liston Building, and 707 South Main Street, Covington, TN 38019.

Funeral services will be held on Thursday at the First United Methodist Church in Covington.

Visitation on Thursday will be in fel-lowship hall in the church from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.; music from 4:40 – 5 p.m.; funeral service at 5 p.m.

After closing his practice at the age of 82, Doc Elliston took up golf.

one has been more than welcoming to me. While I have written for news-papers before, I know my mother will probably buy about 15 copies of today’s paper, because this is The Leader as op-posed to a paper from somewhere else. And for the first time, I can appreciate the sentiment, even if it is embarrass-ing.

NASHVILLE – Tennessee Com-missioner of Labor & Workforce Development James Neeley an-nounced today Tennessee’s unem-ployment rate for March was 10.6 percent, down one-tenth of a per-centage point from the February rate of 10.7 percent. The March rate last year was 10.1 percent. The national unemployment rate for March 2010 was 9.7 percent, unchanged from the February rate of 9.7 percent.

“Modest employment growth occurred again in March,” reported Labor Commissioner James Nee-ley. “We’ll need sustained growth

to recover from the unprecedented losses during this recession.”

According to the monthly Household Survey, this is the larg-est monthly increase in the labor force (+9,700) since October 2005.

Major Changes in Estimated Nonagricultural EmploymentAccording to the Business Sur-

vey, 6,600 job gains occurred in leisure and hospitality; 5,200 in mining and construction; 4,800 in trade, transportation and utilities; and 4,700 in administrative, sup-port, and waste services. Major

employment decreases occurred in fi nancial activities, down by 1,000; information declined by 700 jobs; and professional, scientifi c, and technical services decreased by 400.

Year-over-year increases oc-curred in educational and health services, up by 12,300; administra-tive, support, and waste services gained 3,200; and retail trade was up by 1,200. Year-over-year de-creases occurred in manufactur-ing, down by 17,700; trade, trans-portation, and utilities lost 15,200; and mining and construction de-creased by 10,700.

MUNFORD - Tipton

County deputies suc-cessfully l o c a t e d a child m i s s -ing from Memphis at a Munford residence last week

In the early morning hours of April 16, an Amber Alert was issued after an infant was allegedly kidnapped by Jerry Wray Taylor, 29, of Kincaid Drive.

Deputy Chief Donna Turner, spokesperson for the department, said an Amber Alert was issued at approximately 4:28 a.m.

Amber Alerts – emer-gency radio broadcasts – are distributed through radio and television sta-tions, emails, SMS text messages and other means as a way to alert the public when a child has gone missing or is endangered.

Believing Taylor was in Tipton County with the baby, deputies unsuccessfully attempt-ed to make contact with the man. He was later located at his residence with the infant.

"Deputies arrested Jerry Taylor at 5:06 a.m.," Turner said. "He was arrested in less than an hour."

The baby was report-edly unharmed.

"I'm glad our depu-ties were able to locate this child, apparently unharmed, and arrest Jerry Taylor," said Sheriff Pancho Chumley. "This is an example of how quickly a child can be can located through an Amber Alert."

Anyone having infor-mation on missing or endangered children is asked to contact the Criminal Investigations Division at the Tipton County Sheriff's Office at (901) 475-3300. Tips can be phoned in at (901) 475-3307 or emailed to [email protected].

Taylor was turned over to the custody of the Memphis Police Department. He does not face charges in Tipton County.

Special to The Leader

Spring break was a time for students to relax and rejuvenate in order to fi nish the school year. MHS students, faculty, and staff returned bright and early Monday morn-ing to get back into the daily routine. Only six weeks to go!

Progress reports for the fourth nine weeks were issued this past Wednesday. If a student needs tutoring and/or credit recovery for a class, please contact Dr. Fee in the front offi ce.

MHS will host its annual Awards Night next Thursday, April 29 at 6:30 p.m. It is a time to honor students who have gone above and beyond at MHS. The top ten for the class of 2010 will also be recognized. Students, parents, rela-tives, and community members are encouraged to attend this event.

April is Child Abuse Prevention month. The Carl Perkins Center has left ribbons in the library for the Blue Rib-bon Campaign. You can support this campaign by picking up a blue ribbon from the library and displaying it. The library also has tempo-rary tattoos to support the cause.

Munford High School hosted the annual Fresh-men Open House this past Monday. It was an opportunity for cur-rent eighth graders to explore the classes and extracurricular activities MHS has to offer. A big thank you to the many teachers and students who helped welcome the class of 2014.

Juniors interested in taking Advanced Place-ment English IV next year need to stop by Mrs. Roy’s room (125) on the Senior Way hall to pick up a packet that explains the curriculum or if you have any ques-tions.

Navy Seaman Appren-tice Dalton T. Wilson, son of Lisa M. and stepson of Lance A. Partain of Ato-ka, Tenn., recently com-pleted U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Train-ing Command, Great Lakes, Ill.

During the eight-week program, Wilson com-pleted a variety of train-ing which included class-room study and practical instruction on naval cus-toms, fi rst aid, fi refi ght-ing, water safety and sur-vival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An em-phasis was also placed on physical fi tness.

The capstone event of boot camp is “Battle Sta-

tions.” This exercise gives recruits the skills and con-fi dence they need to suc-ceed in the fl eet. “Battle Stations” is designed to galvanize the basic war-rior attributes of sacrifi ce, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the prac-tical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of Honor, Cour-age and Commitment. Its distinctly ‘’Navy’’ fl avor was designed to take into account what it means to be a Sailor.

Service times: ______________________________________________________________________________

Games, everyone likes to play games. Many games are fun and are wholesome entertainment. One of the fi rst games all of us learn to play is not a good game. It is not a game that God approves of. It is not a game characterized by love and good will toward our fellow man. I learned it at early age not long after my brother was born. The game is the blame game. I learned to blame him if something got broke such as a window or a lamp, dirty like my Sunday clothes right before it was time to go to church, or messy like our room that I was supposed to tidy up.

As children, we outgrow many things, but this game, unfortunately, is not one of them. Adults like to play this game, too. The husband likes to blame the wife and vice versa. The boss likes to blame the employees, the employees like to blame the boss, and they both like to blame the “company”. Congress likes to blame the President, the President likes to blame the Congress, and they both like to blame the Supreme Court.

When did this game start? This game is as old as time itself. In Genesis (the word means beginning), the Bible tells us of the fi rst man, Adam, and the fi rst woman, Eve. They led a very simple life. They lived in a paradise called Eden and all they had to do was “to dress it and to keep it” (Gen. 2:15) The only thing they could not do was to eat of the forbidden fruit. Gen. 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

In the process of time, the devil used his servant, the serpent, to tempt Eve. Eve was deceived by the serpent and did eat the fruit. She gave to her husband and he did eat also. As a result, sin entered the world, which resulted in the spiritual death of man. Rom. 6: 23 For the wages of sin is death. The tree of life was removed so that man also began to die physically. Rom. 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.

When the deed was done, “they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden” (Gen. 3:8). God asked Adam, “Where art thou?”(Gen 3:9). Later with Adam, Eve and the serpent before Him, He asked, “Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?”(Gen. 3:11) Then the blame game began.

Adam blamed his wife, Eve. “The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.” (Gen. 3:12) Next God turned to the woman. Gen. 3: 13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. The woman blamed the serpent. God then turned to the serpent but there was no one left for him to blame. Gen. 3:14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the fi eld; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.

Let’s go back to Adam for a second. He blamed the woman all right, but he also blamed God. Adam said, “the woman whom Thou gavest to be with me.” In essence, he blamed God. His reasoning may have gone along these lines. “You gave me the woman. I did not ask for her. You, of all people, know how she is. If You had not given her to me, this never would have happened. Therefore it is Your fault.”

What is the lesson for us? We, too, try to put the blame anywhere but on ourselves. We blame others including family and coworkers. The criminal often blames society (environment) or his family life (nur-ture) for what he did. A famous black comedian, Flip Wilson, would say, “the Devil made me do it.” We blame genetics (nature) for being fat; for having heart disease, high blood pressure, or alcoholism; and for homosexual tendencies and other sexual perversions. This is in fact a slap in the face to God and the same trick Adam tried to play.

Our God saw through the game that Adam and Eve tried to play. They were banished from the garden and separated from God. God sees through our excuses when we try to lay the blame somewhere else. In no way is God responsible for our shortcom-ings and our sins. James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is fi nished, bringeth forth death. In fact, God helps us overcome them. I Cor. 10: 13 There hath no temp-tation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. Don’t play the blame game. Lets each of us take responsibility for our own actions.

A Dogs 2nd Chance

Please meet CeCe. She has graduated from her DRD training and passed her Canine Good Citizen test! CeCe is now ready to find her forever home and her trainers say she would make a great family dog. CeCe is so smart she could even go on to be a therapy dog! Please consider adopting or fostering CeCe. She is a girl that could go into most any home. She would like to have some activities going on, being a youngster and all, but she can contain herself when needed. With fur-ther training I believe she would make a great therapy

dog. She is not afraid of anything or anyone. She is the dog you talk about when you get older and wonder what happened to the great ones like that. Her personality is written all over her face and her zest and love for life and people is infectious. She will make you laugh, probably do something to crawl under your skin, but one thing I know for sure, is she will do what she can to make you happy...as long as she knows what that is. She is 1yr, 50lbs, and 20inches tall. Great family dog. Ask for a trial adoption today. We offer local trial adoptions to ensure the best match for you and your new best friend. We require all dogs to be family members. Application and adoption fees apply. Online application: http://www.dogs2ndchance.org/adoption-application. For more info: dogs2nd-chance.org.

Tipton County residents recently attended the African-American Leader-ship Conference. Pictured are Mary Jones, Ruth Cohill, Evelyn Cobbins, Bev-erly Clay, Ronda Hughey, Cliff ord Anderson, Diane Wynn, Michael Harris, Judy Avery and Tommy Tate, were among participants at the recent 12th annual WestStar African-American Leadership Conference in Jackson. This yearʼs keynote speaker was DʼArmy Bailey, retired judge, native of Memphis and a founder of the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel in Mem-phis. Other conference topics included: “Regional Initiatives: STEP Program/REDI/Mega Site,” “Social Networking/Security/Avoiding Identity Theft using Technology,” “The Facts about Domestic Abuse (and What to do When you Know the Facts)” and “Healthcare.” The conference is one of several spon-sored by WestStar in its 21-county region. WestStar is the stateʼs oldest re-gional leadership program. WestStar was created in 1989 at the University of Tennessee at Martin to serve the multi-county area by providing leadership development and training.

PET OF THE WEEK

SPONSORED BY:

C.A.R.E.’s yard sale on May 1st on Burgess lane next to the Covington Walmart is to help Shakespeare & others get their vet care. He was rescued from the Covington, TN city pound by C.A.R.E. Shakespeare is a big boy with a HUGE heart. He already knows how to “sit” and “shake”. He would make a great dog for an active family that enjoys the outdoors. Shakespeare might be a big boy but he is a teddy bear at heart. We call him our gentle giant. He absolutely adores children! Shakespeare

is neutered and fully vaccinated. Shakespeare has been treated by CARE’s vet for heartworms and will come with a certifi cate of treatment and cleared very soon. He is so beautiful that pictures do not do him justice. If you’re interested in adopting Shakespeare, please go to www.covingtonanimalrescueeffort.com and click on “adoption procedure”. Shakespeare is up-to-date with routine shots and spayed/neutered.

In Memoriam – Jerry B. “Ben” Yon II

Death diminishes a family, friends, a community and sometimes a school. The grief and loss are mag-nifi ed when the deceased is a young person, as we invariably think of possibilities unrealized. Such was the case as the CHS family learned of the tragic death of sophomore Ben Yon in a traffi c accident on April 13.

The students, faculty, staff and administration of Covington High School wish to express their sincere condolences to the Yon family, espe-cially his parents, Jerry and Aman-da. Said CHS Principal, Peggy Bar-ber, “ Ben was an active member of our FFA, a very good student, friend and classmate to all. He was a kind, thoughtful and respectful young man who will be greatly missed.”

From the Principal’s Desk…Seniors are nearing the end of

the high school journey. Their last day to come to school will be May 10. May 11 is testing day for “A” day and May 12th is testing day for “B” day. If your student had 2 or fewer absences, he/she is exempt from the fi nal exam. It is possible to have an examination in one class and not in another, so please assure that your student is here taking tests if they are not exempt.

Seniors will have a meeting on Monday, April 26, to go over all the requirements for baccalaureate ser-vices and graduation ceremonies. Look for a letter that we will give them on that day. There’ll be a lot of good information in it.

Please encourage your student

to do well on their end of course tests. The testing is very important and will make a huge difference in their grades, their graduation status and in accumulation of knowledge. We have done a great deal of work to prepare them. We need them to show us what they know and to be ready on testing days. Algebra 1 is on May 4; English 1 and English 2 are on May 5; Biology 1 is on May 6; US History is on May 7 and Alge-bra 2 is on May 11. Please assure that your student gets to school on time on these dates so that they don’t have to make up any tests.

We want to congratulate Chris-tina Miller who has survived two preliminary screenings and is rep-resenting CHS in the fi nal round of competition for the Overall Award for Music for the Memphis Com-mercial Appeal’s Academic All Stars for 2010-11. We are very proud of her accomplishments and wish her the best.

CHS students will soon celebrate with the child who we sponsored as the recipient of a “wish” from the Make A Wish Foundation. I am very proud of the CHS student body which raised more than $5,000 to grant this wish. I believe that ev-eryone in our school contributed in some way to make this child’s wish come true. We can hardly wait to meet her. Updates will be forthcom-ing. Thanks to all who made this wish a reality.

“There is no reason to live alone.” Come Join Our Family

By MARGARET FLEMING

Special to The Leader

In an earlier article I alluded to the impor-tance of maintaining a connection with friends and family. Most of us do this through church and family gather-ings. However, many of us who are retired and older live on differ-ent schedules from our families and also have different interests. Even though we love see-ing our grandchildren play soccer, softball or baseball or whatever, we also like to do “old lady” things like lei-surely lunches, back porch gossip sessions, matinees and museums. And many of us don’t drive to Memphis unless we absolutely must. So it behooves some of us to fi nd alternatives to that R-word, routine. In our neighborhood, Sharon Stubblefi eld, recently re-tired from Insouth Bank, has joined me in an effort to mobilize retired neighbors living on and around S. College Street in Covington. We have had two “gatherings” to date and have made plans for day trips in May and June. I want

to call us “The South College Old Ladies Gang” but some of the others are lobbying for something more genteel.

This has been a rela-tively simple thing to do as it mainly involves vis-iting our neighbors and encouraging them to join us. We have a wonder-ful supporting agency, the Tipton County Commission on Aging (TCCA) that is willing to assist us with transporta-tion for our day trips. In May, we plan to take a Trolley Tour of down-town Memphis and then have lunch at the Arcade Restaurant. Then in June we are planning a ride on the Memphis Queen Riverboat, followed by dinner at Cracker Barrel.

This is one kind of “connected-ness” that can happen in any neighborhood. It just needs an instigator and a little planning. Later on we hope to get informa-tion about neighborhood safety by inviting local law enforcement repre-sentatives to attend a “neighborhood gather-ing.” And in the fall we will be depending on the TCCA for information about Medicare D Pre-scription Drug Plans and more! And most any of the Home health Agen-

cies will come to the gatherings and provide blood pressure screens and information on most any health issue of interest. The resources are here… all we have to do is take advantage of them.

By the way, you don’t have to live on South College Street to join the “Gang.” Just give me a call and let me know you are interested, (476-6507 or 569-5799). I plan to entice the members of the once active Little Book Club to connect with us as well.

On the home front, neighbors may have noticed that the home-stead has new paint, thanks to a wonderful gentleman, Evon Young. In addition to the new paint, Mr. Young has installed a new roof. He is just a fi ne gentleman and we would be happy to provide recommenda-tions for him. We are trying to do some of the bigger repairs and renovations now while we have a little bit of cash on hand so that the children won’t have to worry about them later. We had the bathroom changed from a bathtub/shower combo to just a big shower. It is handi-capped accessible with a

grab bar and a seat and lots of room. We are also checking around the house for other safety issues that will need modifying. Sometimes a minor adjustment in the home can delay entrance into a nursing home. You might glance around your home and see if there is something you might do today that will be benefi cial in the fu-ture. We are doing all we can to make sure that we age on our own terms. That includes regular exercise, attention to nutrition and making our home areas safe and in good shape.

In closing, it was my pleasure to join Dr. Loren Crown at the last session of his Mini-Med Class at DSCC last week. Hopefully, he will repeat the classes beginning in the fall and Mike and I plan to enroll. Maybe you can consider that as well. It will be a great way to “stay connected” and use your brain, too. He was very generous in his comments regarding programs and services provided by the TCCA. Try some of them… you might like them! And thanks to all who read and who contact me with your comments and suggestions!

The Covington Manor Nursing Home is launching the “Get Well, Go Home Program” and renovating an entire wing of the building in order to ease the burden and have better care of senior citizens leaving the hospital in Tipton County.

Many elderly patients leaving the Tipton County hospital to rehabili-tative facilities have been forced to travel to Memphis or Jackson in order to receive proper care. However, this new program allows for many of these patients to remain close to home at the Covington Manor located on High-way 51, Covington. The “Get Well, Go Home Program” treats patients in rehabilitative therapy by surrounding them with the comforts of home and encouraging social and family activi-ties.

“This is not a stereotypical nurs-ing home program,” said Scott Hurst, the nursing home administrator. “The number one priority is to solidify fam-ily contacts because the best place to

get well is at home. So not only are we making it easier for families to see their loved ones and ease the travel burden but we are making every ef-fort to give the new renovated facili-ties the feeling of home.”

The new renovations include hard-wood floors, a juice and coffee bar, wooden chandeliers, flat screen tele-visions for every patient, a new gym and work-out room, an outdoor picnic area and a lounge with new sofas and tables for visitors to see their friends and loved ones.

Made to house 43 patients, the new wing of the nursing home is de-signed with all the comforts of home to encourage patients to get better by easing them into their rehabilitative routines. There is even a graduation every week for patients who have be-come well enough to go home.

The remodeling for the program began in February and should be completed in a few weeks and costs $700,000 which is funded by the state and Medicare. The patients are al-ready being admitted as needed and 28 have already graduated from the

programs. They are admitted by local doctors and the Tipton County Hospi-tal that is just across the street so pa-tients do not have to travel far, which is often hard on people with this need of care.

Covington Manor will have a grand opening once the remodeling is com-plete and Hurst invites community organizations to come out and volun-teer anytime and see the new renova-tions being done.

With all of the uniforms changing for Crestview Middle and Elementary schools from red and gray to purple and gold, the athletic teams are going to need all the financial help they can get.

Therefore, on May 15 there will be a fund-raiser for the many needs of their athletic

departments.The event will be

held at Cobb Parr Park in Covington at 6 p.m. and have a $40 admis-sion fee, all of which, goes to the changes Crestview Middle School is making with the color of their sports’ teams.

Booths will be set up for face-painting, game, food, drinks and the selling of shirts and merchan-dise. There will also be performances from the cheerleading

team, an auction for a chance to throw a pie in a coach’s face and there will be a car that kids have a chance to smash up with a bat.

The highlight of the fundraiser will be a demolition derby for small, compact cars.

The organization Compact Chaos will be hosting the derby for the first time in Covington. They do shows once a month, on average, and are bringing in several people from out-of-

state to compete. The derby will begin at 7 p.m. and there is still a chance to enter. The last car standing will be determined the winner.

“The students are the most excited for the fundraiser,” said Rhonda Blakely a par-ent helping organizing the event. “They just can’t wait to be the first ones to wear the new purple and gold uniforms.”

The uniforms for Crestview Middle

School are changing for the convenience of parents of the students since purple and gold are the colors of Cov-ington High School, where most Crestview students matriculate. This way parents of athletes will no longer have to purchase hoards of new clothes to support their chil-dren in sporting events when they change schools. However, it will be costly since new uniforms, new signs and even a new

gym floor will have to be purchased.

Sponsorships are available for $300 that include a sign, an announcement dur-ing the derby and an advertisement on the flyers given out during the event.

If someone would like to participate in the derby, the regis-tration forms can be found online at www.compactchaos.com or you can speak to Rhonda Blakely.

Covington Manor is currently in the middle of $700,000 remodeling phase to help with a new program entitled Get Well, Go Home."

New Arrival

By P. Keeley, M.D.UT Family Medicine,

There is a term in medicine called “pri-mary prevention.” Basi-cally it means, “What steps can I take to live a long and healthy life?” If you have never asked your doctor this ques-tion, I will try to answer it for you now.

We’ll start with a few basics. First, let’s assume that you actu-ally go to the doctor in the fi rst place. Let’s also assume that you have proper sanitation, clean drinking water, and ad-equate food. And let’s assume as a child you got proper immuniza-tions, and that you don’t engage in high-risk behavior as an adult. What then?

Number one: stop smoking. If you have never smoked, don’t start. If you smoke now, quit. Tobacco is directly or indirectly responsible for nearly one in fi ve deaths in America. Think about it: one in fi ve. This is a huge number, made all the more tragic because tobacco-related death is 100 percent preventable.

Second: eat less and exercise more. Every-

body knows that, but obesity is at epidemic levels in this country. Obesity causes or con-tributes to heart disease, stroke, high blood pres-sure, diabetes, and even some forms of cancer. Just like cigarette smok-ing, this too is prevent-able.

Next: control your blood pressure. High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is extremely common and can contribute to heart attack, stroke, and kidney failure. It too is preventable in the sense that obesity may con-tribute to approximately two thirds of the cases of hypertension. It is also preventable in that there are many excellent and inexpensive medicines available to effectively treat high blood pres-sure. Your doctor can

help fi nd the right one for you.

Controlling your cholesterol is another important part of pri-mary prevention. High cholesterol levels are extremely common in this country. This is also preventable by both diet and medication. Do you know your cholesterol level? Do you know your cholesterol goal? These are questions you should ask your doctor.

Control your alco-hol intake. Either don’t drink at all, or if you do drink, drink only in moderation. Some studies, based on Eu-ropean dietary habits, suggest that a modest amount of alcohol may be more benefi cial than no alcohol at all but this is controversial. It is undeniable that alcohol in excess has dire conse-quences.

My fi nal recommen-dation is to get regular age-appropriate and gender-appropriate cancer screening as recommended by your doctor. Your doctor can keep track of when you need a mammogram, Pap smear, colonoscopy, etc. Work together with your doctor toward the common goal of a lon-ger and healthier life.

Hello again from Burlison.Have you called your City Council yet?

As reported to you last week, there was a motion made at the last City Council meet-ing to begin charging the citizens of Burli-son for use of the Community Center. The motion was tabled but will be voted on in the next meeting which will be held the sec-ond Tuesday of May at 7 p.m.

I don’t know what your thoughts are on this matter, but I don’t think citizens of Burlison should have to pay for use of the Community Center. The money that the city of Burlison gets from the state is based on the number of citizens who live in our city limits, so if you live in Burlison money is already being paid to the city of Burlison for your citizenship. Money would be suf-fi cient to keep up the Community Center. There will be some people, who don’t like what I’m saying, but I am just as much en-titled to my opinion as anyone and I get to put it in The Leader. Anyhow, call your city council or better yet attend the next meet-ing to let them know what you as a citi-zen of Burlison would like to happen. To charge or not to charge, that is the question! Again, the meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 11, 2010 at 7 p.m.

I received some wonderful and very exciting news this past weekend. Shanna called us last Friday night and said “I’m en-gaged” so I am very proud to announce the

engagement of my daughter Ms. Shanna Laine Kellum of Burlison to Mr. Alex Car-mack of Abington, Va.

Paula and I went to Bristol for King’s Spring Band Concert and were able to spend some time with Shanna and Alex. While there, I was hit with another surprise. They have already set a wedding date. The date is July 4 of this year! That’s so very soon and they are so young, but who am I to say anything. I was married at 18. Shanna will be 23 in October so she’s almost fi ve years older than I was. Shanna and Alex will be entering graduate school at Ole Miss this fall as husband and wife.

Pam Branch recently visited friends in Kentucky. Their friends Graham and Jacky Evans from Coventry, England, were also visiting and they all drove to the Smoky Mountains where they rented a cabin for fi ve nights.

Jacky was particularly thrilled to see costumed Indians in Cherokee, N.C., and a mama bear and her cub in the wild. Pam re-turned home Saturday. She advises anyone who is considering going to the Smokies in the near future to be aware that the 11-mile loop road through Cades Cove is closed for repairs through May 28.

As of this writing (Monday), the Evans' return fl ight home to London is indefi nitely delayed due to cancelled fl ights because of the volcano eruption in Iceland.

If you have any Burlison news for future articles, please call 901-476-2683 or email me at [email protected]

Until next time, have a great week.Eddie Kellum

Hello everyone.How is everybody? I know for

sure you are enjoying this nice weather! We are too! It’s great weather to walk around outside in, do yard work or just about anything you want to do out-side! I could sure use this kind of weather all year long! But then if we had it, it would probably get old to some people as well.

My family and I went to Memphis Sunday after church to see the Redbirds play ball. Mainly because my grandson, Jackson, plays t-Ball and his team and others from Tipton County got to parade around the field before the game started. The weather was perfect for a day at the ball field. We loved it just sitting and relaxing and letting the sun shine down on this pale white skin of mine. The Lord knows it needed some! The breeze was blowing and it wasn’t too hot or cool. It was just perfect! I didn’t watch much of the game at all, but I sure enjoyed the company and the freedom I felt as we all sat there with seemingly not a worry in the world.

I praise the Lord for our free-dom to be able to do such as that, but I’m afraid it’s not going to be that way for my grandson when he gets my age. All we can do is pray.

Well the time for our Springfest is rapidly approaching. We are looking forward to it with much expectation. If there is anyone who would like to come and set up a booth to sell their home-made goods, you are more than welcome to come.

just give me a call and let me know who you are and I’ll give you all the details.

You, of course, keep all the money you make at your booth, we just ask for a donation for Dunlap rather than paying for a booth. We will have a vari-ety of goods for your pleasure. Everything from aprons, purs-es, jewelry, bibs, quilts, quilted items, jellies, crocheted items, and I’m not sure what else the Lord is gonna bring our way!

To my knowledge I haven’t had anyone to say they are bring-ing Avon this year, so if you sell Avon, please come on out and bring a table to set up, and we’ll find you a spot! Just give me a call and let me know you’re com-ing. Matter of fact, if you have anything to sell that’s handmade or hand crafted, I’d love to hear from you! Maybe someone does handmade candles, that would be lovely. Please call me at 476-7014. I’ll fix you up!

It’s all going to get started one week from this coming Saturday, on May 1, at 10 a.m.. here at Dunlap Retirement Center at 1495 Dunlap Orphanage Rd. in Brighton.

Please call for directions if you don’t know for sure where we are! There’ll be the best dog-gone gospel music you’ve ever heard this side of the Mississippi. We have lined up Victory Sound, Three for Thee, and none other than Rolland Essaff here leading us in worship with his amazing talent of being able to play the harmonica and the guitar at the same time, let alone his singing ability.

There will also be rides, games and all kinds of things for the kids. We’re having a cake auc-tion to see if we can beat what we brought in last year. Rolland Essaff will also be donating his time and talent to be our auction-eer for this fun occasion. We’ll also have 4 Boston Butts to auc-tion off to the highest bidder, compliments of Holly Grove CP Church Men’s Fellowship, and people let me tell you, they can BBQ some butts now! That meat will make you wanna slap you’re Momma! (But don’t. I don’t want her mad at me!) We’ll have the Three Star Fire Dept. here for the little ones to see a real

fire engine, plus our wonderful Three Star Volunteers will be on hand for tours of the trucks or to answer any questions you might have.

There will also be Military vehicles on display for your enjoyment, compliments of Mr. Bob McFarland and his Military Museum. Those things are amaz-ing to get up on and think what all they could do “and have done” to protect us and our country!

If you were here last year, you might remember Kelley Shellenberger’s “Stick Ministry Kids” that moved us all when they performed “Light Our World” and as they were finish-ing up, there were 5 or 6 jets that just happened to do a fly over and that sent chills down all our backs. It was just as if the Lord was saying to us that were there “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, and nothing can conquer my Name.” Most of us women were in tears! Kelly promises she did not have that planned, but we know who did.

We’re going to be doing the cake auction again this year, so if you could bring a cake when you come for us to auction off, that would be great. All pro-ceeds from that go to Dunlap. You could even bring a pie or cookies, I tell ya, people will eat anything now-a-days! Just teasing, but please come on out and bring a cake or some kind of dessert for us to auction off, it doesn’t have to be fancy, just a plain cake. It’ll be fun!

And while you’re here Billy and Ann Chapman will be cook-ing up some yummy hamburgers and hot dogs for your delight, and you might as well have some chips and a drink with it! It’s all for a donation to Dunlap! Then if you really want something good, buy one of Patsy Fee’s fried apple or peach pies. They are wonderful, and they are only $3 apiece. We run out of those every year, so come and get em’ early! Please be praying for a beautiful day! God hears every prayer, so I need plenty going up for the weather to be good!

Now don’t forget what we are out here for, our precious little folks who are so dear to us and taking good care of them. That’s what it’s all about! As most of you know, we are a non-profit organization that is supported by churches in the area and the revenue we receive from the rent our residents pay each month, so if we don’t have our rooms full, we don’t pay the bills, and we do still have 5 rooms that are open for rent, so if you know of anyone that might benefit from a facility such as ours, please tell them to contact Kathy at 476-7014 and we will help them out!

There are three state regula-tions a potential resident has to meet, 1) they must be able to bathe and toilet themselves with-out any assistance, 2) they must be able to dress themselves and get out of the building within 13 minutes or less, unassisted, 3) they must be able to get them-selves to the dining room for all three meals a day withoutt assis-tance. If they can do all of that, they qualify!

They will get all three meals cooked for them every day, their cleaning done for them, their laundry done, and they never have to lift a finger to do any of it! We also will assist them with medications as well if their fam-ily requests that we do so!

I think it’s a pretty neat place to live myself! We may need the assistance of a place like this ourselves some day, so we need to take good care of our precious folks now!

Well I’d better close for this week. Please remember to show love and most of all forgiveness to someone today. You may never know who you have touched in the process!

Also remember God loves you, and so do I! Have a blessed week!

Greetings.Short and sweet this week

once more. My eyes still aren’t the best. However, “God is still good all of the time, and all of the time God is still good.”

Hello Brighton friends, I am right chilly today.

The temperatures have dropped a lot since the weekend. With the over-cast today it makes it feel cooler than the 60s. But my flower beds seem to love it. The azaleas are all in splen-did bloom.

The hostas are leafed out and some of the blooms are still on my pink, red, and white dogwoods. Since the temperatures are at a mini-mum the bugs are leaving me alone, too. I have been seizing the moments.

Mean ole Arthur is vis-iting me with these cool fronts coming through. Actually I'm not sure which is soreness and which is arthritis!!

I have found the neatest tool to work in my flow-er beds. It is a rake but the width is only about 10 inches and the teeth are not but around six inches. The handle is the same length as a regular rake. This rake is some sort of plastic. I have already gone through three rakes this spring. Yes, that's right three metal rakes. I get them caught on the limbs of the shrubs when trying to get the leaves out from under the branches.

So finding this tool was a treat especially costing around $7. My investment is much more in line with my destructiveness. There is also another tool that I am so excited to have acquired. When Neal buys lawn equipment he usual-ly gets gas powered tools.

They tend to be heavy and fumey for me. So I told him to get me an electric hedge trimmer. Not an expensive one either, but one I can just trim the shrubs around the house with. I have to tell you that I was a pret-ty hot wife when he came home with a trimmer that cost $80 dollars. However, I have to say he got a great find. I have had so much fun with this trimmer. It is lightweight and battery operated. The battery lasts long enough for me to do some heavy duty trimming but it is like it knows I have to stop or I won't be able to move the next day.

Our happy birthday wishes go out to Macy Glass who will turn 7 on April 27. She is the daughter of Lonnie and Kim Glass. Her grandparents are Allen and Debbie Wilkerson. She also has a sister, Lilly.

Laurie McClerkin cel-ebrates her birthday on April 28. She is the wife of Dale McClerkin, and the daughter-in-law of Winston and LaVonne Hahn.

There will be a cheer clinic on Saturday, May 1. The BHS cheerleaders will be sponsoring this clinic. Registration will begin at 8 a.m. with the clinic held from 9 a.m. - noon. The children in grades sec-ond through sixth will be accepted with a $25 fee. The children will get a par-ticipating T-shirt and be fed pizza. They will also be cheering with the BHS cheerleaders at a home football game this fall. For more information you can call BHS 837-5800 or Roberta Bryan at 569-5627.

Okay the time is here for

the Brighton Fest and car show this Saturday, April 24, from 9 a.m - 4 p.m. The BHS band is sponsor-ing this event at the high school. Please make an attempt to go and show your support for the band.

Our prayers go out to the Yon family for the loss of their son, Ben. Please keep them in your prayers for this is such a hard time. You may want to send a card to express your sym-pathies. We found this so touching as the days passed and our minds began to function again. There were so many that we saw right after Harrison's death but we were so in shock that we lost memory of so many details. As the cards began to roll in we had a tangible object to read and reread even as time went by. Sometimes we get some of our favorites out and read them even now.

Our prayer list includes Keith McClerkin, Rebena Atteberry, Verna Lou Timbs, Phyllis McIntosh, Eva McCall, Norma Columbus, Aunt Francis Moore, Joyce Starnes and the family of Jordon Pate.

As our days get longer and the children are able to play outside for longer periods of time, we need to make sure we keep a watchful eye out for them. Dusk can be a tricky time to see for most of us. Children can ride up on a bike in a split second or dodge out from a driveway. We need to be on our toes for our precious little ones.

Love to you all, Debe

Upstart Dyer County gave Brighton a scare Tuesday night in New-bern, but the Lady Cardinals came through in the end.

The Lady Choctaws got a solo homerun

early off Brighton starter Leanna Coulston, but Brighton’s ace didn’t give up much else the rest of the way as her team came back for a 2-1 District 13-AAA victory.

Kelsey Tramel got the key hit. In the fourth inning Caroline Jacobs and Britt Sanford both

reached base and Tramel chased them home with a two-run double.

Coulston took care of the rest, allowing just fi ve hits and striking out nine in seven innings of work to push her record to 20-7.

Over the weekend Brighton went 4-0 in

their own tournament to claim the champion-ship. Coulston pitched four shutouts, defeating Marion (4-0), Arlington (6-0), St. Agnes (4-0) and Dyersburg (7-0).

Brighton (22-7 overall, 5-0 district) has been playing well this season while taking on a very

diffi cult schedule. “Four of our losses

this year came in a tour-nament up in Murfrees-boro,” said head coach Robin Jacobs. “We played some real good teams up there … And I was happy to get the win in Dyer County. It’s a hard place to win and

they’re a good team.”The schedule won’t

get any easier. Brighton plays at district rival Munford on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. On Monday, Marion comes to town and Tuesday Trin-ity Christian Academy visits. Both games are at 6 p.m.

After opening the week with two big district wins against the Haywood Tomcats, the Covington Charger baseball team went into Memphis to take on some non-district competition and swept them away as well. Here’s a look.

April 15, 2010 - CHS 9 Cordova 3

Facing one of the better teams in the metro area (ranked #11 in the CA’s Dandy Dozen at game time) and a recent Divi-sion 1 signee for MTSU, the Chargers were looking at a tough road outing. Will Cooley proved equal to the task going the distance to improve his record to 3-2 and the team’s to 11-6. He faced only 30 batters in his 7 innings of work, struck out 6 and allowed only 5 hits while walking 3.

It was a bit of a rough start as Cooley surrendered a 2 run homer in the bottom of the 1st inning. Coach Sage said that even though the Cordova starter was a hard thrower, in the 86-89 mph range, he was usually a reliever and he looked for him to tire. He did in the 5th. Heath Hoffman led off with a single. After a strikeout, Cameron Dickey doubled to right. Following another strikeout, Carlos Williams doubled to left scoring Hoffman and Dickey tying the score at 2. The Wolves changed pitchers. Blake Caughorn came to the plate and hit a high fl y ball to center that the centerfi elder lost in the lights, which allowed 2 more runs to score.

In the 6th, a walk, a single and an infi eld hit by Carlos Williams that turned into a 2 base error on an errant throw by the 3rd baseman allowed 2 runs to score in an eventual 5 run inning that broke the game open. Carlos Williams and Blake Caughorn had 4 RBI apiece in the game. Heath Hoff-man and Cameron Dickey each had 2 runs scored. Tommy Beasley was a defensive star gunning down 4 of 6 runners attempting to steal from his catcher’s position.

April 16, 2010 - CHS 17 Southwind 7

The Chargers spotted the Jaguars 4 runs in the top of the 1st inning when they al-lowed a pop behind the pitcher’s mound to fall untouched. That misplay was followed by an error at 2nd, which opened the gates for an overmatched Southwind team. To their credit, the Chargers tied the game in the bottom of the 1st inning and took the lead or good in the 2nd before fi nally blow-ing it open with 6 runs in the 3rd inning to take an 11-4 lead.

Cameron Dickey scattered 7 hits, struck out 4 and walked 5 in 5 innings of work. Although he gave up 7 runs, only 4 of them were earned as his mates commit-ted 3 errors in the fi eld behind him. Blake Caughorn and Bobby Bailey had big days at the plate with 4 RBI apiece. Jarvis Harwell scored 4 times and John Evans 3 as CHS romped to a mercy rule win. Covington

pounded out 16 hits in the game and had 9 other batters either via walk, error or by being hit by a pitch.

CHS 15 Southwind 5

Heath Hoffman went 6 innings for the win in this one as the Chargers defeated Southwind for the 3rd time this season. Hoffman allowed 5 hits, struck out 9 and walked 4 to secure the win. The Charger took a 1-0 lead in the 1st inning and after the jaguars had taken the lead 2-1 in the top of the 3rd scored 3 in the bottom of the frame to take the lead for good at 4-2. Southwind plated 3 in the 5th to close the gap to 6-5 but CHS exploded in the bottom half of the inning for 6 runs to go up 12-5. They pushed across 3 more runs in the 6th to close out the mercy rule win.

CHS had 16 hits in the game and had 5 more runners reach via walk and error. Tyler Davis tallied 5 RBI in the contest and was 4 for 4. Heath Hoffman and Jarvis Harwell added 3 RBI apiece. Harwell scored 4 runs and was 4 for 5 at the plate. Connor Faulk and Bobby Bailey each scored 3 times.

April 19, 2010 - CHS 11 Crockett Co. 3

In the 1st game of a back-to-back show down for the District 13 AA-South Division Championship, Covington jumped out to a 4-0 lead on the strength of the speed at the top of the Charger lineup.

Crockett Co. drew close at 4-3 and was poised to take the lead in the 5th but was shut down when Connor Faulk induced one of his 9 strikeouts to end the inning stranding runners at 2nd & 3rd. The Char-gers promptly plated 1 in the bottom of the frame to get some breathing room at 5-3 and then exploded for 6 runs in the 6th inning to put it out of reach. Three CHS hits and 3 hit batsmen fueled the rally.

Faulk went the distance for his 5th win against 1 loss. He struck out 9 and walked 2 while allowing only 5 hits. Heath Hoff-man and Blake Caughorn had a pair of RBI each. Carlos Williams was on base 3 times and scored as many runs as did Caughorn. Caughorn and Tyler Davis were both 2 for 2 on the night.

April 20, 2010 - CHS 13 Crockett Co. 0

The Chargers took the District 13 AA-South Division championship in style with a 5 inning, 13-0, mercy rule win over Crockett Co. at Alamo on Tuesday night. With batters pounding it up and down the lineup, CHS showed no mercy in rolling over the hapless Cavaliers in the runaway win.

In addition to notching his 4th win of the season, junior left-hander Will Cooley, topped off the CHS offensive onslaught with a 2 run homer in the top of the 5th in-ning. Cameron Dickey, Blake Caughorn and Chad Lewis added a pair of RBI each. It was a big night for the Chargers who now have the #1 seed headed to District tourney play. They are 15-6 (5-1) on the season.

The Munford High school

girl’s softball team had a hard fought loss to the Millington High Trojans on Tuesday night in Millington by a score of 3 -2.

Paige Barnes owned the loss for Munford but allowed no runs in the first two innings on the pitching mound, struck out five and hit a single.

Shortstop Sami Jo Shulz was a big hitter bringing home two line drives and two fly balls into the outfield. Second baseman Ashley Hobson had three hits including a double in the fifth inning. Third base-man Magan Dennison contrib-uted with a single, a triple and a line drive to third. First base-man Kaylee Willis had three hits including a single in the fourth inning. Alex Standford had a RBI and hit a fly ball out

to third base. Catcher Amanda Levin and Morgan Sherfield both had two hits. Paige Rid-ings had a double and walked twice. Kelsey Deneka stole a base and an error in the fifth inning gave her a chance to run home as a pinch runner.

Centerfielder Sydney Lums-den caught three fly balls for the defensive end and Den-nison caught two. Shulz and Sherfield each caught one.

Getting the win for Mil-lington was sophomore April Lewis who was excited about beating rival Munford. “It was close but we stayed in there and didn’t give up,” said Lew-is. “We lost the first game, but this time we finally got them.”

Lewis did not allow a run in the first three innings and had a RBI. Liz Findley had a single. Heidi Molder had three hits including a double and a RBI. Jenna Crain hit in a double. Jessica Joyner had a single and a RBI for the win.

The CHS men’s soccer team had a good time of it during spring break logging three wins over the break period. The varsity defeated Dyer Co. on April 9 by a score of 2-0 and then took out Gibson Co. 8-2.

On April 13, CHS blanked the Ripley Tigers 7-0. Moving the ball well throughout the game, the Chargers were comfortably 4-0 at the break. Juniors Hunter Atkinson and Phillip VanCleve and freshman Bobby VanCleve each had 2 goals. Sophomore Colliar Robinson ac-counted for the other goal. “ The last 5 regular season games are against quality teams,” said Coach Luttrell. “ They will be a good measur-ing stick for us leading to district playoffs. I am proud of the progress we have shown to this point.”

On April 20, the Char-ger squad had to face the top team in District 13 AA, the Dyersburg Trojans, in their season home fi nale. It was a tough fi nish to the home season for CHS as they fell to the pow-erful Trojans 4-0. “ We did great work in goal with many saves,” said Charger coach Robert Luttrell,” but it was not enough against a really good team. We’re not done and have a chance to do well in the play-offs. Don’t count us out.” CHS is 4-5-4 (2-3-2) on the season.
