No changes. That's what Covington Mayor David

Gordon said he's trying to pass with a new version of the city's municipal code, which led to a recent discussion about separation of powers for the mayor and aldermen.

"I assure the board and the public that I'm not trying to have anything passed secretly or change anything," Gordon told the city's Finance and Administra-tion committee Tuesday afternoon.

The clarification was prompted by a story and editorial in last week's issue

of The Leader where aldermen ques-tioned the mayor's motives for trying to push through what they believed were changes made to the municipal code, as well as whether or not the city would best benefit from a weak- or strong-mayoral form of government.

Specific concerns of the board as dis-cussed during the June 19 meeting in-cluded disciplinary action they believed singles out the fire chief and committee and board appointments they believed would no longer have to be approved by the board of aldermen.

It appeared a power struggle was brewing; the mayor and board mem-bers denied that, but still discussed

separating powers. "I'm not trying to do anything under-

handed, I'm not trying to gain power," Gordon said. "These documents are as they have been for several years. That's all I have to say."

The verbiage of the ordinance in-volving the fire chief's discipline has not been changed and Section 22 of the charter, which was passed in 2006 when Russ Bailey was mayor, states the mayor shall make appointments as au-thorized by law.

"It's identically the same," vice may-or and F&A committee chairman John Edwards said during the meeting of the Board of Mayor and Alderman on

Thursday. "We may have went out half-cocked in the last meeting."

Some aldermen attribute the misun-derstanding to the lack in communica-tion about the new code's changes, if any, and its purpose.

"There were no changes made to or-dinances, they were used to codify," the mayor said. "I'm asking you to approve the codification of ordinances that have been approved legally."

Alderman Tommy Black, who led the accusation that changes had been made, told the mayor he didn't agree with the charter in 2006 and still doesn't agree with it. He wants the board to

New library almost readyBy JEFF [email protected]

The Tipton County Public Library, which is expected to open in two months inside the new 54,000-square-foot learning center located on Dyers-burg State's Covington campus, will be unique in concept and design.

State-of-the-art technology and an unprecedented amount of comput-ers available to the public is the main drawing card. But the way, and how fast, the project came to fruition makes the project one of a kind.

The government's gears are known to grind slowly. A library built at Dy-

ersburg State's campus in Dyersburg took more than 15 years from concept to reality.

This project took four, thanks in large part to Tipton County's financial involvement. The county appropriated $3 million to the $9.8 million project.

"I don't know that it's been done anywhere," Tipton County Execu-tive Jeff Huffman said in regard to a county partnering with a college to get a public library built. "There were a lot of different things that were accom-plished. We got a new library. Dyers-burg State got a new library and new learning center with it. Quite frankly, we leap frogged a lot of projects that

were line to be built because of the lo-cal money."

The Tennessee Board of Regents oversees and prioritizes construction projects for the state's colleges and uni-versities. Getting things built is very competitive.

"The three million dollars did a lot of things," Huffman said. "It helped Dy-ersburg State get this a lot quicker and, quite frankly, we needed a new library. We couldn't wait 15 years."

The Tipton County Public Library in Covington has 15 computers for pub-lic use. The new library will have 280 computers, 75 of which will be open to

About 50 new jobs are expected to be created after CSC Sugar began operat-ing Monday at Rialto Industrial Park in North Covington.

The company, which is based in Con-necticut and Colorado and has other lo-cations in the United States and Mexico, liquifies granulated sugar.

Nearby Unilever, one of the world's largest producers of ice cream and other frozen desserts, will be one of its biggest clients, but CSC will ship its product to other locations around the country as well.

CSC Sugar is leasing about 150,000 square feet in the building formerly oc-cupied by World Color Press.

"Obviously, the new jobs created are great for our economy," Covington

Mayor David Gordon said, "especially for those get those jobs."

This is CSC's first facility in Tennes-see.

The company is investing $4 million in the operation. Gordon said the proj-ect has been in the works for six to nine months.

Applications for the jobs are currently being accepted at Hamilton Ryker em-ployment agency in Covington.

The 2014-15 school budget was ap-proved at the Tipton County Board of Education meeting held June 12.

This year’s balanced budget has total expenditures of $78.6 million, which is $1.2 million less than last year's amended budget.

The budget, which went into effect on July 1, has a change in total regu-lar instruction of negative $892,000, due to a decrease of $1.035 million in regular instructional equipment.

According to Bobby Alsbrook, business manager for Tipton County Schools, the decrease is directly re-lated to PARCC testing.

“Money was put in last year’s bud-get for the school systems to get up to speed in technology for the PARCC testing,” said Alsbrook. “This year, I plan to use the $892,000, for technol-ogy equipment, and also textbooks have gone up.”

It's a busy time for the Tipton County Election Commission as sev-eral deadlines for the 2014 elections are approaching.

Persons wishing to register to vote must do so by July 8 – next week – for the August federal and state prima-ries and the county general election. Changes in address don't necessarily have to be done then, but it's help-ful, said Neil Bell, Tipton County's administrator of elections.

"You can wait until you get to the polls to do that, but you'll be in line longer," Bell said.

Early voting will begin July 18 and will be held at the Election Commis-sion, 113 E. Church Street in Cov-

read through the new code and make changes to it prior to its formal approval.

"Bill Scruggs, Jere Had-ley and I want to change it before we adopt it," he said. "You want to do it your way, we want to do it ours, and if I can get those other three votes, we can do it our way."

As in the June 19 meet-ing, Black and Scruggs clarified the proposal to make chages to the code first has nothing to do with Gordon and every-thing to do with the fu-ture.

"My concern is separa-tion of powers, not you personally," Black told the mayor. "Not every-

one is honest and one day we'll get someone in here that we don't like who'll take advantage."

Scruggs told the com-mittee he'd assumed changes had been made and that's why it seemed the mayor was trying to hurriedly push the new code through.

"Sometimes you have

to come to the nitty grit-ty of things to get to the right answer, unfortu-nately," Scruggs said.

At next Tuesday's called meeting, which takes place at 1 p.m. in the conference room, Ronnie Neill, with the Municipal Technical Advisory Ser-vice, will be on-hand to discuss, in detail, what's

changed in the proposed code.

"For clarification, there's really no changes in the mayor's powers in 2006 to now," Edwards said.

"You'd have saved a lot of breath if you'd brought that up the other day," Scruggs responded.

Edwards, however,

said he was caught blind-sided on June 19. He has since spent time digging through the current or-dinances and codes and found no contradictions.

"Actually, I did use that breath in the last meet-ing, I just got bad infor-mation."

According to PARC-Conline.org, “The Part-nership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) is a group of states work-ing together to develop a set of assessments that measure whether stu-dents are on track to be successful in college and their careers.”

All testing was to be on-line, hence Tipton Coun-

ty Schools increased last year’s budget to update technology, such as com-puter systems, Internet speeds and the like.

As of May 21, Ten-nessee has pulled out of PARCC due to testing concerns.

Additional changes in this year’s budget are as follows:

• An increase from $600,000 to $650,000 for a

“save the children” grant for CIAA. Last year, the school was awarded a partial grant; this year it received the grant in its entirety.

• The budget was re-duced by seven certified positions, a decrease of 6.67 percent;, due to 169 less students. The reduc-tion in force was met through attrition and re-tirements.

• The budget will con-tinue to provide for those employees scheduled for a step increase, which is .75 percent of salary.

• An increase in bud-get of 15.71 percent from $700,000 to $810,000 for textbooks.

• A newly created position of certified per-sonnel director, with a salary of $83,000, replaces a non-certified secretarial

position, with a previous salary of $38,000. Mary Haywood, former princi-pal of Munford Elemen-tary School, as well as former TIF grant admin-istrator, has been named certified personnel direc-tor.

“(Director of schools) Dr. (Buddy) Bibb felt a full time person, who had supervisory experi-ence and was certified

was necessary to meet personnel’s needs,” said Alsbrook.

According to Alsbrook, the school system em-ploys approximately 1,500 people, including 808 certified positions and 650-700 other em-ployees, such as food ser-vice, bus drivers, teach-ing assistants, etc.

the public. Wi-fi will be available in around the library as well, mean-ing those with lap tops, tablets and other devices will have Internet access even if no computers are available.

There is also a com-munity room and a sig-nificant amount of space designed specifically for use by small children. Drop down projectors are in the community room and rooms for chil-dren and there's a desig-nated entrance and exit for children. One of the rooms for children in-cludes a small stage and a kitchen.

"The idea is," Huff-man said, "if you can get kids in here at a young age, you'll have a better chance of getting them in a higher learning in-

stitution. They won't be intimidated by a college campus."-

There are also several small rooms that can be used for small group studies or tutoring ses-sions. Huffman said he expects the library to be utilized by adults as well.

"What we found was that when the economy got worse, the first thing people were cutting was their cable and Internet access," Huffman said. "Yet, in order to apply for a job to get ahead, you had to have Internet ac-cess and be able to use computers."

The learning center portion of the building includes several large classrooms, an area for workout equipment and a recreation room that

will have pool tables, ping pong tables and video games.

As of early this week, the building's exterior was complete. Contrac-tors were finishing up painting inside and put-ting the finishing touches on various things. Com-puters and furniture are expected be installed next. A grand opening is expected to be held in September.

"I think we've proven that these kinds of col-leges can certainly help produce a quality work-force, people with more skills who can attract bet-ter-paying jobs," DSCC president Dr. Karen Bow-yer said. "The fact that we're building a nicer facility will attract local high school kids."

FLASHBACK

At an early age, I realized that there are many different kinds of people in one’s life- specifi-cally in the friendship category. There are friends grown from mutual experiences, friends of friends which are adopted, and then there are friends of convenience.

Laura Robert was one of the last sort. She and I were in grade school together at St.

Andrews. She was a prissy thing, one of those girls who coyly stood off the sidelines of the kick-ball game and jumped when the action got too close. She only played hopscotch or talked with a friend at recess because she didn’t want to get her

clothes dirty. I viewed her with abject

disdain and some relief; we could be friends because (at eight years old) I was sure she would never have any of the boys interested in her. I, on the other hand, was always the first or second girl chosen for the team, a high honor. I was even picked before some of the boys. I firmly believed that in order to win a boy’s

heart, you had to compete with him first. And win.

I knew back then that Laura was a different ani-mal from me and I could tell she would become like her mother, which was her nature; yet for me, some place very off-kilter. Laura’s mother was exotic, with dyed big black hair and black eyeliner tht reminded me of Cleopatra or some Egyptian somebody. She wore flat thong sandles and caf-tans and had numerous dinner parties. She was beautiful in a surreal sort of way.

When I was eight or nine and went to their house, Laura and I were relegated to the base-ment, which had been refashioned into a play-room and some extra bedrooms. As a child, I couldn’t decide if I was in awe of this bizarre space or terrified of it. I remember giving her mother credit for creative maneuvering of her offspring and the frustration of not being allowed upstairs during their festivities.

That summer of my 15th year was filled with new adventures because I lived in New Orleans with my father and his family. Additionally, the driving age was 15, and all of my childhood friends were now free to go out on their own.

In New Orleans, it rains like the tropics. Mon-soon-like storms can come and go within minutes or stay for hours. It can catch a girl off guard, especially if she’s not prepared. Especially if she forgets that the city is below sea level and prone to flooding.

Laura and I hadn’t seen each other since we were 10, but as summer can be long for a teen-ager, and one can only hang out with her eight year old kid brother so much, I called her up. We decided she’d pick me up and we’d go to the newly renovated zoo.

I remember it was a hot day and, as always, the zoo was packed. We left the car in elephant park-ing, closer to the eagle intersection than the owl, each section denoted by a picture on a street light. Whatever the whimsy for parking designations, just know we were REALLY FAR AWAY.

We paid our entrance fee and headed for I don’t remember, but it was once again, REALLY FAR AWAY.

The thing about real friends, people you have a connection with, is that you pick up where you left off. Laura and I really couldn’t find a whole lot in common and since there were no teenage boys hanging out at the zoo, early afternoon was quickly becoming a long day.

We were both dressed summer-teenage girls-looking-for-a-boyfriend-cute, with espadrilles, skorts, little sweater tops and jewelry, as well as lots of makeup. It was so hot and cloyingly humid and the farther we walked, the more our cuteness fizzled.

Without warning, the skies opened up and a huge deluge of rain began. We ran for shelter, but were soaked by the time we got there. We waited and waited and waited at the snake pavilion for the rain to stop. As the rain began to slow, we de-cided to make a run for it, to the next shelter. And so it went for an hour or longer.

Once at the front of the zoo, we had to make a decision: to stay or to run to the car. “We’re already wet, how bad could it be?” we asked ourselves.

It was much worse. Due to storm, the note on which we’d jotted our parking animal had fallen apart. Were we eagle or owl or elephant or

SEE FLOOD, PAGE A5

If you want something to eat nowadays just ask the kids where you gonna’ get it? Sad to say, but the reply would be “down at the super market.”

Have you ever wondered why an emporium is now called a su-permarket? At one time a hun’ert years ago it was the “store” or sci-entific-like referred to as the local general.

My brilliant coun-try senior citizens can relay the fact at one time most everything was grown at home and the only time a store was utilized for necessities of salt, sugar, flavoring and a few bare extras.

Friends, turn back the pages of time and reminisce about cornbread. Where does it come from, or where had it been? Believe it or not, but very few ac-tually know or sadly even care. I reckon one has to be ancient to ap-preciate hot crumbled cornbread drowned in a huge tea glass of cold milk whether sweet, butter or clabbered? Yo’ preference could include some chopped up onions for flavoring. It just don’t get no better than to drape a dangling lip over a table spoon full dripping of such a Southern delicacy.

For the ones that have been un-

der a gum stump all their life the cornbread don’t just high kick up in the middle of the kitchen table. Youngsters would never under-stand that hard working, brilliant farmers grow the choice indul-gence out in the fields.

One of the most famous love affairs in our young country was the emergence of the cherishment

during the early Pilgrims arrival. Seems like John Smith and Pocahontas met while dropping ker-nels of corn and small fishes in the same holes preparing for the up-comin’ Thanksgiving. The corn tasseled and the affection blossomed. That was incentive for Southern Belles to learn the art of sealing the fate of a successful marriage along with assistance in picking cotton.

Neighbor, cornbread comes in all shapes, forms, sizes and tastes, depending on the mag-nificent preparer. I’m sure that foreigners above the Mason-Dixon Line have never heard of a full, black, cast iron skillet cooked in the oven. How about hand held muffins in a lard-smeared pan, or wavy sticks smothered with cow butter dripping off yo’ elbow fightin’ to chomp down ’fore the flavor dissipates?

Our illustrious cookers will re-

lay this all starts with some whole-some corn meal. Today this in-gredient can be purchased at ‘pert nigh’ any grocery store. However, centuries ago we had to have our corn ground into meal if we want-ed some larrupin’ bread.

Beloved, I reckon most all love cornbread in the wonderful South as this along with king cotton has provided us with many pleasures over the years. To sight down some straight military fashioned rows with leaves slowly fluttering in the summer breeze is a sight for meditation. Initially, for livestock or human consumption corn was measured in bushels. However, in some instances corn was measured in gallons. Yo’ preference.

Contrary to popular belief, the corn did not jump out of the hot, dusty sun drenched fields and into a skillet as there was more to it. Daddy thought the greatest store in the world was Mr. Ernest Sander’s grist mill on Armour Road when it came time for some corn meal.

But I dreaded the day Daddy would inform me, “Bo, we goin’ to the mill this Sat’day, so start makin’ preparations.” That meant more work for me, Paul and Lynn.

Now we dad to start shuckin’ in road gear ... GLORY!

Shame about catsIt broke my heart to see the ar-

ticle about all the homeless cats in The Leader. It seems to me that someone would have seen them before there were so many of them. I know my nephew, Terry Poole,

loved animals when he was little as I watched him grow up. There are so many people here that are cruel to animals and they get a slap on the hand and then let them go. If it were me they would get time and if they ever caught them with

another animal it would be even worse. Also I would like to say hello to all my old friends and rela-tives in Tipton County. God bless.

Disclaimer: These persons are innocent until proven guilty. They will face charges in Tipton County General Sessions or Circuit Court unless warrants for their arrest were issued in another county (this may or may not be denoted in the listing of charges).

Under arrestThe following persons were booked into the Tipton County Correctional Facility June 22-28, 2014.

It’s almost the Fourth of July, the day when we celebrate our inde-pendence as a nation and the many liberties we enjoy as individuals. Still, we have to keep working to earn some freedoms — such as fi-nancial freedom. But by making the right moves, you may eventu-ally enjoy your own Financial In-dependence Day.

Here are a few such moves to consider:

• Set free your vision. Your first step in moving toward financial inde-pendence is to establish a vision of what this free-dom might look like. Ask yourself some key ques-tions: When do I want to retire? What do I want to do during my retirement years? How can I be confident that I won’t outlive my financial re-sources? The answers can help you develop a clear picture of where you want to go — which will make it much easier to create a financial strategy for getting there.

• Liberate your full investment capabilities. Right now, you may have good investment opportuni-ties that you are not fully exploit-ing. For example, are you contrib-uting as much as you can afford to your IRA and your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored plan? And when your income goes up, are

you increasing your contributions to these accounts? Both an IRA and a 401(k) offer tax advantages and a variety of investment options, so try to get as much out of these plans as you can.

• Avoid the “bondage” of a non-diversified portfolio. If you only own a few types of investments, you are restricting your opportu-

nities — and probably taking on too much risk. If a downturn primarily affects just one or two as-set classes, and most of your investment dollars are tied up in those as-sets, your portfolio could take a big hit. But if you “free up” your holdings by diversifying across a range of investments —

stocks, bonds, government securi-ties, certificates of deposit and so on — you may give yourself more chances for success while reduc-ing the effects of market volatility on your portfolio. (Keep in mind, though, that diversification can-not guarantee profits or prevent losses.)

• Unshackle yourself from debt. It’s not always easy to lower your debt burden, but it’s worth the ef-fort. The lower your monthly debt payments, the more money you will have available to invest for the future — and for your ultimate fi-

nancial freedom. So look for ways to consolidate, and reduce, your debts.

• Escape from disability and long-term care expenses. Few events can threaten your financial independence as much as a dis-ability or the need for long-term care, such as a nursing home stay. Even a short disability and time away from work can wreak havoc on your financial situation. And an extended stay in a nursing home can be hugely expensive. In fact, the national average for a private room in a nursing home is nearly $84,000 per year, according to a re-cent survey by Genworth, a finan-cial security company. To defend yourself against the threat of dis-ability or the expense of long-term care, you may want to consult with a financial advisor, who can rec-ommend the appropriate protec-tion vehicles.

The Fourth of July is a festive oc-casion. But you’ll have even more reason to celebrate once you can declare your own financial inde-pendence. So, do what it takes to speed the arrival of that day.

FLOODContinued from A4hippotumas? We dashed up and down the several acres of parking looking for the car. The lot was now flooding and I had to take off my shoes to run better.

“Where is it? Why isn’t it here?” we were practically screaming to each other over the thunder, light-ning and heavy rain.

We finally found it, neatly parked where we had left it, in the back left corner of a 30–acre-envelope of cars.

Laura started the car, and we took off, thrilled to be warm and dry. She drove through the flooded parking lot, onto flooded Magazine Street, over to flooded River Road and then, and then, the car stalled.

You see, for those of you not in the know, all that flooding is not

good for a sweet car. It can create a problem, such as the aforemen-tioned stalling.

We were a little frantic, because Laura had just gotten her driver’s license and breaking a car did not bode well for her.

It was now late afternoon, and we were blocking one of the two lanes during almost-rush hour. No matter what we did or tried, the car would not turn. So, we left the car, one of us sitting on the sidewalk beside it, while the other walked to the nearest store to call home for help.

About 45 minutes later, as the rain finally gave way, my step-brother Jeff arrived; my father had sent him to help us out.

Jeff sat in the driver’s seat, turned the key, and voila’ the car

started. We were overwhelmed with relief, although also more than a little embarrassed.

What I remember most is I told Laura that one day we’d think back and laugh about our frustra-tion all over some silly rain ... and she just looked at me like I was from another planet.

I suppose it’s all about perspec-tive, isn’t it? We were safe and warm and now had a fun story to tell. And even better, we had not broken the car.

And Laura? Well, I saw her once more, when we were in college. She was a bartender near LSU and wore lots of black eyeliner and smoked colored French cigarettes. She had grown up to be just like her mother; not bad or good, just much different than me.

Children in hot carsThe news this time of year always

seems to tell of baby who died in a hot car due to an absent-minded parent, or even worse, allegations of an in-tentional death.

Regardless of the motive or lack thereof, what does Tennessee law allow you to do if you see a child in a locked car, apparently suf-focating due to the heat? If you break the window to rescue the child, won’t the owner of the car sue you? Maybe. But you may have immunity from the suit.

A new Tennessee law, ef-fective July 1, 2014, address-es just that issue.

TCA 29-34-209 states: (a) A person whose con-

duct conforms to the re-quirements of subsection (b) shall be immune from civil liability for any damage resulting from the forc-ible entry of a motor vehicle for the purpose of removing a minor from the vehicle.

(b) Subsection (a) applies if the person:

(1) Determines the vehicle is locked or there is otherwise no rea-sonable method for the minor to

exit the vehicle;(2) Has a good faith belief that

forcible entry into the vehicle is

n e c e s s a r y because the minor is in im-minent danger of suffering harm if not i m m e d i a t e l y removed from the vehicle and, based upon the circumstances known to the person at the time, the belief is a reasonable one;

(3) Has con-tacted either

the local law enforcement agency, the fi re department or the 911 op-erator prior to forcibly entering the vehicle;

(4) Places a notice on the vehicle’s windshield with the person’s

contact information, the reason the entry was made, the location of the minor and that the authorities have been notifi ed;

(5) Remains with the minor in a

safe location, out of the elements but reasonably close to the vehicle until law enforcement, fi re or other emergency responder arrives; and

(6) Used no more force to enter the vehicle and remove the child from the vehicle than is necessary under the circumstances.

(c) Nothing in this section shall affect the person’s civil liability if the person attempts to render aid to the minor in addition to what is authorized by this section.

The standard of “imminent dan-ger” of suffering harm is used by Tennessee to say that this must be an actual emergency before you should break glass, etc. Be aware, however, that you must show that you complied with every single solitary point of the entire statute to get the immunity protection.

Lois Jean Gainer FyfeAugust 6, 1927 – June 18, 2014

Lois Jean Gainer Fyfe was born in Urbana Ohio on Au-gust 6, 1927 to Erma (Hoose) and Henry Gainer. She grew up there on the family farm with her three older siblings: Annetta, Martin, and Joseph. Lois was valedictorian of her high school graduating class in 1944 and then attended Ohio State University where she studied music and textiles. Her organ professor was Wilbur Held, who remained her friend and mentor all her life.

She moved to New York in 1949 to study organ at Co-lumbia University with Karl Weinrich. She worked in the library at Juilliard School of Music and also did bookkeep-ing and was in the choir at St Michaels Episcopal Church, where the rector, William Corker, introduced her to the or-ganist Peter Fyfe. Their first date was April 13, 1951 and they were married November 28, 1953. While in New York she also worked as an administrative secretary at Standard Oil of New Jersey.

In 1957 their daughter Catharine was born. Lois and Peter moved to Nashville January of 1959 for Peter to be organist and choir master at Christ Episcopal Church. Lois was truly Peter’s helpmate with the music program at Christ Church, including singing in the choir, and together they won much respect and acclaim at the church and throughout the music and church communities in the area. They sponsored many music events and in 1984 established an endowed scholar-ship in music at the Blair School of Music.

During the early 1960s Lois deciphered and typed numer-ous letters written to and from President James K. Polk, to be published in a series of books: Correspondence of James K. Polk, edited by Herbert Weaver. For many years she worked at Vester Music Service as a sheet music distribu-tor, where she cultivated a very fine reputation. In 1993 she established her own company, Lois Fyfe Music, specializing in organ and sacred choral music. Her vast knowledge of these subjects, along with her incredible memory and care for detail made her an invaluable resource for customers all over the world. Her tenaciousness in searching for music in print was extraordinary. One customer commented that Lois “is a kindred spirit in musical taste, has a sense of what working as a church musician is all about, and can perform wonders with those most unpredictable of all beasts, the music publishers.” Lois Fyfe Music continues her work with Jonathan Setzer and Elizabeth Smith, who bought the store in 2009, and Michael Belote.

Lois and Peter were very generous throughout the years in sponsoring organ concerts, especially at Christ Church, and choral concerts, such as the Trinity Choir from Cam-bridge, UK at the 2012 national convention of the American Guild of Organists. At this same convention, Lois and Pe-ter received the Edward Hansen Leadership Award from the AGO, recognizing “their commitment to excellence in music, unparalleled knowledge of sacred music, their roles as teachers and mentors, and their leadership, devoted ser-vice, and extraordinary generosity to the AGO.”

Lois is survived by her husband Peter, who lives in Nash-ville, and daughter Catharine, and grandsons Charles and Joseph who live in St Paul, Minn.

There will be visitation and a funeral service at Christ Church Cathedral in downtown Nashville on July 14; the visitation will be at 10 a.m. and the service at 11.

In memory of Lois Fyfe and in honor of Peter Fyfe by St. Matthew Episcopal Church, Ray and Nancy Fyfe Cardozier and Tim and Thirza Sloan.

In his steps: a Father's Day challengeBy RICK HUFFMANGilt Edge Church of Christ

Growing up on a farm in Tipton County, we raised cattle. Our pastures also contained woods with under-growth where the fence (property) lines were. I would go with my Dad to check the cattle and the fences on many oc-casions. He would clear the way where there was undergrowth. He would always tell me, “Walk where I walk! Step where I step!” That was a good idea, but be-ing about a foot shorter made it hard for me to match him stride for stride. Feeding the cows in the barn lot presented a whole different chal-lenge. In the winters the lot was usually muddy and it was a quagmire especially around the feed troughs. It was nearly impossible not to mire up especially carrying buckets of feed or hay bales. However, Dad could navigate the loblolly hardly making a track and never step in “something.” I would mire up to the tops of my boots and end up smelling like “ice cream” as he would call it. He would say, “Follow my steps and walk lightly!” I would try my best and when I did as he said, it worked. I had a lot less problems.

There was a TV com-mercial several decades ago where a small boy helped his father wash the family car. The little boy did everything his

father did. He put soap on the car with his little sponge when the father applied soap with his large sponge. When the father rinsed the car with the water hose, the son squirted water on the car with his squirt gun. Af-ter finishing the car, they both sat down under a tree to rest. The father pulled a cigarette from the package and laid the package on the ground between himself and his son. The little boy looked at the package on the ground and then admir-ingly up to his father. The commercial ended with these words from the announcer, “Like father, like son, think about it!”

Our children will fol-low in the steps of their fathers. They often liter-ally follow their steps as I did in that pasture. They often follow in the same occupation, have the same mannerisms, use the same speech and have the same habits. Our children will also follow our spiritual steps. Many times as fathers, we tell our chil-dren to “do as I say do, not as I do.” Sorrow, but our children are going to follow us- do as we do in spite of what we tell them to do. That is why Solomon says, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” (Pro. 22:6) Paul warns fathers, “And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition

of the Lord.” (Eph. 6:4)If God is important to

us as fathers, he will be important to our chil-dren. If our children see us and hear us pray, they will learn to pray. If we never miss a service of the church, they will also be faithful in attendance. If we only attend on special occasions such as “holidays” or when we have nothing “bet-ter” to do, they will do or not do the same. If God, His Son and the church (kingdom Mat. 16:18-19) are first in our lives, they will be first in our children’s lives. Mat. 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

As fathers, we need to understand that we are not going to heaven alone. In a recent song, the father is appalled at the four letter word his four year old son blurted out upon spilling his fries when the father had to apply the brakes abruptly. The Father asks, “Now, where did he hear that?” The son (or the song) answers, ”I’ve been watching you.” At bedtime that night, the little boy prays and the father is amazed at his prayer. The father asks the same question, “Where did he hear that?” Then comes the same response, “I’ve been watching you”. As fathers, we have to be careful not to send our children mixed signals. James 3:10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth

blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. 11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bit-ter? 12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? Either a vine, figs? So can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. It will be sad indeed if we lose our own souls in hell, but if our action or inac-tion leads to the eternal damnation of our own children, how much sad-der will that be? Luke 17:1 Then said he unto the disciples, it is impos-sible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! 2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

As fathers, we need to remember that we too have a Father, a heavenly Father. We should have the same attitude toward the Father as His only begotten Son had toward Him. Joh 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work Jesus invites us to follow Him, walk in His steps if you will. Lu 9:23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. If we as fathers will do this, our children will be safe in following us.

By DANIEL DALTONGilt Edge Church of Christ

Fifty-six men signed the Declaration of Inde-pendence on July 4, 1776. Of the 56 men, five were captured by the British and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the Revolution-ary Army. Another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hard-ships of the war. One was a wealthy planta-tion owner and trader who watched his ships sunk by the British. He sold his home to pay his debts and died in pov-erty. One of their homes was overrun with British soldiers who used his home as a headquarters. While he was still inside he got word to Washing-ton to fire on his home. He died with nothing left.

We are all thankful for these 56 men who were willing to take a stand and sign the Declara-tion of Independence. We owe our freedom in America today to men who were willing to take a stand and make sacri-fices. The freedom that

we have in America is not and never has been free. It has been paid for time and time again with the cost of the human live who have died to protect our freedom. Each time our freedom is challenged brave men and women have been willing to stand, fight, and die so that we might keep our freedom. People have given their lives. Mothers have given their sons. Wives have given their hus-bands all to defend and protect our freedom.

Why is freedom so important and valuable to us? What is it about freedom that makes us willing to give anything to keep it? We like know-ing that we are free to choose what we want to do and how we want to live. We like knowing that no one can come and force us to work for them and that we can leave any time we want. We like knowing that we can worship the God of heaven without someone coming in and forcing us to quit or to worship their God. The freedom we have in America is a very important freedom.

Yet the freedom we have in America is of

very little importance when compared to the freedom we have in Christ (Galatians 5:1; 13). Outside of Christ, we have no choice but to serve sin. Many people view this as freedom without even realizing that they are servants to their sin. The alcoholic is servant to the bottle. The thief is servant to steal-ing. The adulterer is ser-vant to his lusts. While many view themselves as free because they can do whatever they want, what they don’t realize is that they are submitting themselves to eternal slavery in the end. The reality is, we have two choices. We can be a ser-vant to sin or a servant to Christ and righteous-ness (Romans 6:17-18). We can choose to submit ourselves to Christ now and be rewarded with an eternity in heaven, or we can serve sin now and pay for our sins for an eternity in hell. The freedom that is found in Christ is not a temporary freedom; it is a freedom from sin that will last for an eternity when we re-main faithful to Him. So, why is freedom in Christ so much more impor-tant than our freedom

in America? Freedom in Christ frees us from a stronger oppressor. Freedom in Christ frees us when no one else can. Freedom in Christ will last longer.

Yet this freedom was not free. All freedom comes at a cost and there is no exception to the freedom we have in Christ. This freedom was bought and paid for by the blood of Christ (Hebrews 9:14). Christ’s death on the cross paid the price for our free-dom. He was oppressed, afflicted, slaughtered, and cut off for our in-iquities, transgressions, and sins (Isaiah 53). Yet to have this freedom, we must be in Christ and the only way into Christ is through baptism (Ga-latians 3:26-27). While we remain in Christ and walking in the light, His blood continually pays the price for our sins (1 John 1:7-9).

I am thankful for the freedom we have in America and the price that has been paid for that freedom. Yet even if I lose that freedom, the freedom that I have in Christ cannot be taken away from me! (Romans 8:31-39).

ington, or at Munford's board room, located in the City Hall complex on College Street.

Election Day will be Thursday, Aug. 7, which is also the first full day of school.

Some schools are poll-ing locations and both events could become confusing.

"There's no way to get around it, unfortunately," Bell said.

On the ballot in August are candidates for gov-ernor, U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, State of Tennessee House of Representatives, gen-eral sessions judge, cir-cuit court judge, chan-cellors, public defender, district attorney, county commissioners, school board members, consta-bles and more.

Several elected offi-cials – like Tipton County Sheriff Pancho Chumley, County Clerk Mary Gaither, Court Clerk Mike Forbess, Register of Deeds Claudia Peeler and Trustee Kristie Glass Maxwell – are all run-ning unopposed.

The Leader will publish a Meet the Candidates insert on July 17 to intro-duce candidates to vot-ers.

November general elections

Bell also said persons wishing to pull petitions to run in the November general elections have until noon on Aug. 21 to return them.

Up for election on Nov. 4 are governor; U.S. Senate; U.S. House of Representatives; Tennessee House of Representatives; the Atoka mayor and three of its aldermen; a Burlison city council-man; Covington's mayor and three of its alder-men (districts 1, 2 and 3); Garland's mayor, six councilmen and its town recorder; three Gilt Edge aldermen; Mason's mayor and all six of its aldermen; three Munford aldermen to serve four-

year terms and one Munford aldermen to serve a two-year term.

Additionally, Bell said the Town of Mason will

hold its municipal elec-tions in November for the first time, its mayor and all of its aldermen up for re-election.

"They are one of a few boards who don't do stag-gering terms," he said.

The last day to register to vote in the Nov. 4 elec-

tion is Oct. 6.Early voting in that election will be from Oct. 15-31.

For more information about these candidates,

important dates and qualifications to run for office, please see www.tiptonco.com/election_com-mission.

Covington Fire Chief Jerry Craig said he feels "pretty good" about the city's latest ISO inspection last month.

Though he said the department was "nailed" in a few places, overall it went well.

"They've changed a lot with the way they grade," he said, "but I feel pretty good about mayor going to a three."

The ISO Public Protection Classifica-

tion program inspects municipal fire departments and services to evaluate the city's fire mitigation system for insurance purposes.

Better fire protection is supposed to means savings for homeowners, but the ISO inspectors have strict guide-lines.

"If we don't meet the ISO standards, they gig us for it," Craig said.

Though he believes the city scored well – final scores are expected in 90 days – he said the old federal compress

at the corner of East Liberty and Union didn't help them.

"They nailed us on the compress because they don't have a sprinkler system," Craig said. "It's gone, so they took it off."

The regulations, he reported to the city's Public Safety committee on June 26, require sprinklers in a facility that is 15,000 square feet or larger.

The city has no sprinkler ordinance. Craig said the department received

extra credit because they have an arson

investigator and was able to count one of the rescue trucks as a service truck.

The city is currently rated at a four, while the areas of the county served by CFD are rated at a 9. According to ISO, Class 1 generally represents superior property fire protection, and Class 10 indicates that the area's fire-suppres-sion program doesn't meet ISO’s mini-mum criteria. Other fire departments in Tipton County have also had recent ISO inspections. Those results were not yet available.

Covington Fire chief pleased with ISO rating

Travis Fox and Jason Forbess, both 36 and from Atoka, have been charged in a two-count indictment with manufacturing and distributing syn-thetic drugs and employing minors to distribute synthetic drugs, announced Edward L. Stanton III, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Tennessee, and 25th District Attorney General Mike Dunavant.

The indictment alleges that begin-ning in April of 2009, Fox and Forbess manufactured and distributed syn-thetic drugs often known by the street names “Spice” or “K2.” These drugs mimic the hallucinogenic effects of marijuana with the added side effects of hallucinations, seizures, and depen-dency/addiction not usually associ-ated with marijuana users.

Fox and Forbess allegedly marketed and sold their products across the United States on their various inter-net websites. Beginning in 2013, Fox and Forbess employed minors to help distribute the synthetic drugs.

“Synthetic drugs and other designer drugs are devastating communities across the United States. Synthetic drugs have been especially harmful

to high school kids because the prod-ucts are marketed as ‘legal’ marijuana, when, in fact, these substances are extremely dangerous and illegal,” said Dunavant.

The Tipton County Sheriff’s Office and the DEA investigated the case. Special Assistant United States At-torney Samuel R. Stringfellow is the prosecutor.

By RUSSELL BAILEYTipton County Historian

Tipton’s “Southern Confederates,” Co. C., 6th and 9th Tennessee consolidated regiments, Gen. George Maney’s brigade, served in the division command-ed by Brig. Gen. States Rights Gist, of Gen. W. J. Hardee’s corps. Gist’s division was assigned to the Chattanooga Valley front.

On Nov. 23, 1863, Maney’s brigade was stationed on Lookout Mountain opposite Gen. Joseph Hooker’s corps of the Union Army of the Potomac. Hooker’s troops were within easy reach of Maney’s men on the mountain.

While serving as a picket, James Lemmon of Tipton, reported to Capt. Hall: “There’s going to be a big fight on Lookout today.”

Lemmon based this on the fact that a Union picket had called across to him: “Johnny, we are coming after you tomorrow and when you see us coming, get out of the way. We don’t want to hurt you.”

The Battle of Orchard Knob was fought Nov. 23. It was located between the lines of the armies, about middle ways, rising about 100 feet, it was a land-mark with a good view by both armies. A Union

reconnaissance in force of four divisions, 20,000 men, was committed to the operation with 6,600 more in reserve. The three brigades of Thomas J. Wood made the actual contact with the two lone Confederate Alabama regiments defending the Knob.

The attack commenced at 1:50 p.m. with 5,000 Federals advancing on the 634 Rebels on the Knob. One of the Alabama regiments put up no resistance and retreated the 1,200 yards to the main Confederate rifle pits along the base of Missionary Ridge. The other Rebel regiment, Wm L. Butler’s 28th Alabama, 300 men, fired volleys into Gen. William Hazen’s bri-gade of 2,256 soldiers.

Overwhelmed by a sea of blue uniforms, Butler lost 146 men and their flag was captured while the balance of men ran for dear life. Within five minutes, the affair was over. Confederate losses totaled 186 casualties; Union losses 167.

Within an hour, the Chattanooga Valley landscape was a sea of Union soldiers and wagons. Watching the imposing formations from atop Missionary Ridge was Confederate generals Arthur Manigault, James Patton Anderson and army commander Braxton Bragg.

Through his field glasses, Manigault estimated that

50,000 Yankees were marching to and fro, directly in front of Gen. Bragg’s headquarters. The sight of the massed Federal ranks stunned Bragg almost to the point of panic. Bragg ordered new troops disposi-tions shifting troops to the right or north.

That night, Maney’s brigade, States Rights Gist’s division, was ordered to move to the Missionary Ridge line where it took part in the Battle of Missionary Ridge on Nov. 25,1863.

Captain Hall of the 9th Tennessee wrote:“Our removal from Lookout Mountain had left

that part of our line almost without defenders. Gen. (Edward Cary) Walthall was left there in command of a small body of troops…

“(On Nov. 24, 1863) Hooker’s corps, on account of the weakness of our line, had no trouble in driving our men from their works who retreated up the slope of the mountain…This was Hooker’s famous ‘Battle Above the Clouds’…it was a mere skirmish and not a battle and fought not above the clouds but in a dense fog which concealed the enemy from the view of our men until they were so close to our works with such tremendous odds in numbers that protracted resis-tance was useless.”

It's a rainy weekend at Mt. Watkins; a quarter inch Friday, eighty-five hundredths of an inch on Saturday, then over-night and into Sunday morn-ing, 1.85". We never turn down a rain in summer, but it's soggy out there.

James went to Somerville last Tuesday to buy me a goat or two (I’ve always wanted some) and the man wouldn't accept his bid; and I'd already checked on the price of goat feed! Maybe after the 4th, we’ll have better luck.

Wednesday, I had a good lunch in Atoka with Michelle Nowak and her daughter, Claudia Chandler Hodge, and Michelle’s teacher-friend from school, Tammy. They had been to a teachers' workshop. We had Japanese food at a new place and it was very good; it was a fun day!

My service air bag light has

been coming on in my car for a week or so and Wednesday, on the way to Atoka to eat, a red symbol came on my dash-board with an airbag in the driver's lap. It made me ner-vous, but our mechanic friend, Andy Konesky, looked at it and assured me it wouldn't pop out and make me have a wreck. Rather, it wouldn't pop out if I did have a wreck. I got a letter in the mail that day saying there was a recall on my air bag. I already had a recall on the water pump, which I never got fixed.

I took the car to Dyersburg on Thursday, where Liz and Lyla picked me up and we shopped and ate while they were work-ing on my car for seven hours! And I had 105 “very hungry caterpillar” cookies to deco-rate for the birthday party of Mary Kate Huffman's grand-daughter.

Liz and Shelley came over after we got home and we all decorated cookies; it was fun! Then the cat laid on the box and broke some; lucky I had some extras. Mary Kate said they were the hit of the party, so I'm happy. And my car is fixed!

I enjoyed a cookout Saturday night at Brian and Shelley's for my grandson Cameron's 21st birthday! It has been 21 years since he was a preemie at three pounds, two ounces. Now he's well over six feet tall, expecting a baby with wife, Rachel, and will graduate from Harding University in December. I am so proud of him! After burgers, hot dogs and a Tennessee cake, we watched a terrific lightning storm; it was fun!

We had a big fellowship meal after morning services on this fifth Sunday. There was much good food and we were happy to see everyone home from last week’s camp. It was a wonder-ful day at church, especially

because we had one service and everyone was there; we were able to see everyone!

On the prayer list are Neil Bringle, Dale Laxton, Percaya Langston and so many more relatives and friends of our members; and all servicemen and women.

My sincere sympathy is extended to Becky Todd and family in the death of her brother, Ricky Todd, from com-plications from a fall. I pray Becky had a safe trip back home after staying with her father and Ricky's family for a while. They have my prayers.

Happy birthday to Helen Goforth and Paulette Watkins on June 29, James Watkins on the 30th, Lauren Mosley on July 1, Nolan Combs on the 3rd and Elaine Shankle on the 5th!

Happy anniversary to Grant and Crystal Edmonds on July 4 and Rick and Patsy Moore on the 5th!

Happy birthday at Clopton

United Methodist Church to Kaylee Walton on June 29 and Donna Briggs on the 30th!

Unfortunately, because of the rain, the Dependence on God celebration, slated for Sunday night, the 29th, has been moved to Saturday night, July 5. Please come for bar-beque and sandwiches from 6- 7:30 p.m., patriotic music by Ronnie Twisdale from 8-8:45 p.m. and fireworks at 9 p.m.!

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Andrew and Laurie Hicks Jeffords, who were united in marriage Saturday night. We send you best wishes!

Children's ministry will not meet again until Wednesday, August 13. There is no month-ly breakfast on July 5.

Hello everyone.I hope you can see

through the humidity. Out my way, the win-dows in my home and in my car are so foggy in the morning, I must take a few moments to clear them; no wonder my dog hates to go outside.

Hopefully, we will all have a blessed 4th of July. At the moment, things are beginning to come

together nicely for our country once again, due to recent Supreme Court decisions. Fly those flags proudly!

Please pray for my daughter, Terri Barber, as she, her husband and two sons are in Honduras this week. It’s the boys first time to fly. I hope they enjoy it as much as I did the one and only time I’ve ever flown; I had a window seat and it was awesome. They

also will have window seats; which will be a lasting memory, as well as a closer look at God’s beautiful creations!

Youth Villages is in great need of foster par-ents in the Covington-area and will hold its first free foster parent information session in Tipton County on Thursday, July 17, from 5:30-7 p.m. at Baptist Memorial Hospital-Tipton, located at 1995 U.S. Highway 51 South, in Covington.

Foster parents are needed to care for children who may have suffered abuse, neglect or abandonment. These children need adults who will care for them until they can return to their birth families or an

adoptive family is found for them. Foster parents provide children with a safe, com-

fortable environment and monitor their emotional growth, school progress and physical health. They also serve as positive role models to children who may lack caring adults in their lives.

Youth Villages provides foster parents with 24-hour access to counselors, support groups and a monthly stipend to offset the cost of adding a child to the home. Foster parents also often have the first right to

adopt if the child becomes available for adoption. Foster parents should be omore than 25 years of

age and residents of Tennessee. Foster parents should have viable income, reliable transportation and be able to pass a background check and home study.

For more information about the upcoming infor-mation session or how you can change the life of a child, contact Lacey Howard, Youth Villages foster parent recruiter, at 731-288-4613 or [email protected].
