“For the Kids Rodeo” June 14 and 15, 7:30 pm

Covington Saddle Club Arena “Downhome Banking the Way It Should Be”

Proceeds benefit new

Boys & Girls Club

By FRANCE [email protected]

Rodeo to raise funds for clubThis weekend the rodeo's coming to

town, and proceeds will be donated to a much-needed organization.

Held on both Friday and Saturday nights, the rodeo will benefit the Boys and Girls Club of the Hatchie River Region.

“It’s a family friendly event and the original extreme sport. Also, we’ll have the world’s champion rodeo clown," said Covington mayor David Gordon.

The rodeo will be held at the Covington Saddle Club arena at 7:30 p.m. both nights and will feature such contests as saddle

bronc riding, cowgirls breakaway roping, and Brahma bull riding.

Children will enjoy the many special attractions created just for them, including best dressed cowboy and cowgirl contest and the kid’s gold rush.

Spectators will have the chance to win a complete charcoal grill package donated by Home Depot or compete in a paper airplane toss to win a new vehicle donated by Homer Skelton Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Millington.

“I hope everyone will come out and see

the rodeo,” Gordon said. Tickets are available at Stockdales, Abby

Farm Supply, the Covington-Tipton County Chamber of Commerce, and at the gate.

General admission is $10 in advance for adults, $15 at the gate (or two or more $12.50 at the gate). Children 10 and under are $5 in advance and $8 at the gate.

All advance sales end on Thursday, June 13 at 5 p.m.

The Covington Saddle Club is located at 100 C.E. Moss Parkway, inside Cobb Parr Park.

County working on budget numbersBy JEFF [email protected]

Budget amendments were the main topic of conversation at Monday night's meeting of the Tipton County Legislative Body.

The commissioners approved the amended 2012-13 budget as presented by Bobby Alsbrook, the school system's budget director.

Alsbrook presented a budget that was amended from $89.471 million to $93.501 million.

The amendments were necessary, Alsbook said, because funding for sev-eral federal projects was not finalized when the original budget was made. The federal project budget increased from $5.27 million to $8.501 million, with the remainder of the amendments coming out of the general fund.

Alsbrook said he expects the school system to use between $100,000 and $150,000 out of fund balance to balance the budget.

The commissioners also approved vari-ous amendments to the county's 2012-13 budget, which is $123 million.

Quincy Barlow, the director of the county's finance committee, said money was transferred between various ac-counts, but the amendments did not require the county to spend any extra money.

“Everything zeroed out,” Barlow said, “but we did transfer a lot of money around.”

County Executive Jeff Huffman said he expects the 2013-14 county budget to be presented to the commissioners next month.

“We're working on it right now,” Huff-man said. “A lot of it is already finished.”

A continuing budget resolution was passed, allowing the county to go past the June 30 budget deadline.

The meeting was recessed instead of ended to allow for the finalization of budget amendments. The meeting will resume June 24 at 7 p.m.

In other matters:• Director of Schools Dr. Buddy Bibb

presented ACT results for 11 rural West Tennessee counties from a state depart-ment report.

Tornado victims in need of helpBy ECHO [email protected]

On the first 90-degree day of the year, Bo McClain is on his lawn-mower, mowing grass to give his two-year-old son a place to play.

"He really loves it out here," McClain said, looking around the property where he was born, raised and continues to live.

Until a tornado damaged the house his father built in 1939, that was.

"We really prayed for (the victims of the tornado in) Oklahoma, then it happened to us," said Margaret Frame, McClain's fiancée.

The couple, along with their son, Clinton Lewis, and Frame's 78-year-old father, who is also blind, are trying to rebuild their lives after they were disrupted by the EF-1 tornado that ripped through the Mt. Lebanon community two weeks ago.

McClain and Frame were in the living room, awake, when it hit.

"They always say it sounds like a freight train coming through, and it does," Frame said. "It was my first tornado I've been through, it's a scary feeling."

McClain said they heard the storm and he told his fiancée to hold on.

"When the windows blew out, I knew we were in for trouble," Mc-Clain said.

The 74-year-old home was knocked off of its foundation, windows were broken, limbs came through the roof of Clinton's bed-room. You can look at the corner of the living room and, because the connecting walls were pulled away from one another, see into one of the bedrooms.

Frame's father was lying on a hos-pital bed near windows in the same room but, thankfully, the windows next to him remained intact.

Outside, the swings and slide con-nected to Clinton's playset remain missing, toys were broken, the shed was knocked down, the gas tank and their vehicles were moved and the chicken coop was damaged.

Their five hens survived, surpris-ingly, and, the important part is, they did too.

But they need help rebuilding. "It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't

just have knee surgery," McClain said.

Out of work since Thanksgiving,

McClain had his first knee surgery in November and his second less than a month before the tornado hit.

"Like I told the insurance lady, we're on a very, very tight budget around my house," he said.

They're not sure what will be cov-ered by the insurance company, but will need help meeting the deduct-ible.

"We didn't lose any clothes or much furniture, so we don't need those things," he said. "Money would really go further than anything."

After a brief hotel stay funded by the American Red Cross, the fam-ily has been renting a home in the northwest part of Covington.

To help the family, Dr. Jesse Can-non has set up a donation fund at Patriot Bank.

"I am pleading for all my friends to join me in helping a family that was a victim of the tornado that hit Covington area last week," he said via Facebook this week.

Anyone wishing to donate to the Bo McClain fund can do so at any Patriot Bank branch. Donations can also be sent to Patriot Bank at P.O. Box 865, Covington, TN 38019.

STRAWBERRIES

Q: When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up ?A: An artist. I always enjoyed sketching and drawing pictures of animals and landscapes. I have been able to use my artistic ability in my present career. I also use my creative ability as a photographer, which is a hobby of mine.

Q: What person had the biggest influence on you growing up and why?A: My grandparents. They raised six of us on a small farm after my mother passed away at an early age in a loving home where good morals and values to include work ethics were taught and practiced.

Q: What do you like to do in your spare time?A: Quality time at home, spending time with family, RV camping and traveling local and abroad.

Q: Tell us some of the benefits of attending a school like TTC instead of a four-year school.A: Affordable and

documented short- and long-term training that prepares students for high-tech employment opportunities in today’s manufacturing environment. The TTC system currently has one of the highest graduation rates, placement rates and licensure rates in the country. Add this to some of the lowest tuition costs in the nation on the post-secondary training level and that should help any person making a decision on attending the TTC instead of attending a two-year or-four year school.

Q: Can you think of a success story involving a TTC graduate? A: My wife Linda and I began our career at the TTC-Covington after a plant closure. I attended the Technology Center, graduated, worked and became employed at the Technology Center as the sheet metal/metal fabrication instructor. While employed I received my AS degree from State Technical Institute at Memphis and continued my education at UT and U of M. Later

I became part of the center's administrative team. Linda’s nursing career also begins at the Technology Center. She graduated the practical nursing program, received an associate nursing degree at Dyersburg State community college and completed her BSN degree at University of Memphis. Like us, many students' careers began at the TTC and have either continued their education or advanced in their chosen occupation and career.

Q: How do you see TTC changing or growing over the next 10 to 15 years?A: New manufacturing techniques and technology increasingly demand that workers have skills that are needed for today and future technology. The TTC continues to stay on the cutting edge of technology and will be a premier training facility to meet industrial training needs.

Longtime Covington High School softball coach Martha Lawler an-nounced her retirement from coaching last week.

“Dad was transferred to a church in Alabama so I attended the Univer-sity of North Alabama playing basketball and softball for three years,” said Lawler, when asked about what led her to Covington.

“When I graduated in 1983, I was hired as a science teacher at Crest-view Elementary straight out of school. During the 1983-84 season, I umpired softball for Coach Lack-ey. I should have stayed where the ‘big money’ was in umpiring, but the next year, 1984, John Wells and Don Chandler called and offered me the CHS softball job. The ‘big money’ is not in coaching softball for sure.”

Thus, with a laugh and a smile, began a spirited, laugh-filled interview with Lawler, who leaves the coaching stage after a remarkable 29-year run, all at Covington High.

Few in the state can match her team’s re-cords. With only one los-ing season, a 14-16 year in 1997, CHS complied a 775-264 (74.5 percent winning percentage, 27 wins a year) record un-der Lawler.

The Lady Chargers won 12 consecutive dis-trict championships from 1984-95, added another in 1998, had back-to-back championships in 2000-01 and then tacked on six more from 2005-10.

Just for good measure, Lawler’s team won seven straight regional and sec-tional titles from 1986-93. They also topped the re-gion another eight times and took an incredible 13 consecutive region crowns from 1998-2010.

For 20 of her 29 years at the helm, Lawler guided her Lady Chargers to the state tournament with teams appearing in the championship series in

1986, 1989, 2006 and 2010, all runner-up finishes.

“If I have a regret,” she said. “it is the two titles that got away when we entered the champi-onship round needing only one game to win it all and not being able to get it done. It hurts more than you can imagine but it seems that it was just not meant to be.”

Softball has not been Lawler’s sole activity. In addition to the duties of a biology teacher, which she will continue, Lawler served as head and as-sistant girls basketball coach several times. She also was head and as-sistant coach for several years for Lady Charger volleyball.

It was a vain attempt to try to name all of her players who went on to play softball in college. There were just too many to count, although Lawl-er offered that she had six former players on the diamond at the next level last season, the most at one time in her career.

She balked at naming the best players she had coached.

“I knew that question was coming,” she said, laughing. “I can’t do that. There were so many and for so many different rea-sons: playing ability, ver-satility and heart.”

Finally, she would al-low that the four play-ers whose jerseys were retired during her ten-ure would qualify as the best: Gabby Glenn and Tobie Joy on their stats, and Amy Ruffin and Lori Deverell Pearson, who lost their lives at an early age.

Asked about her best team, the answer was quick and certain.

“2010 without a doubt,” she said. “That team set a school record at 48-3 and that included 45 consecutive wins. We were one game from the title that year but Cam-den came back and won two in a row to keep us from the championship. It still hurts and always will.”

“It has been a great ride,” Lawler said. “Our success was a result of good players who worked hard, assistant coaches who did every-thing that it takes to pro-duce a winner and the unfailing support of the administration.

“We had some crazy things happen over the years like a state tourna-ment game in Chattanoo-ga that we were winning when the lights went out. It broke our momentum and we ended up losing.

“The strangest thing was the year that the state was played in Southaven, Miss. Go figure. The Ten-nessee state softball tour-nament in Mississippi? What’s up with that?

“Probably the tough-est time was our stint in Class AAA. That was the toughest competition we faced until we got to the district we just left. A 10-team district with only two teams eligible for the region from among four or five top programs was a real struggle. Several really good team got left behind this year.”

Befitting her status as the child of Rev. David Lawler, Lawler offered the following valedictory from Second Timothy 4:7: “I have fought a good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith.”

No doubt she will be affirmed in that senti-ment by the fans of CHS, her players and the lega-cy she leaves behind.

The results, which were from tests taken in 2010, showed that Tipton County ranked first with an average composite score of 19.9.

Hardin County was second at 19.3 and Hen-derson County was

third at 19.2. Lauderdale County was 10th at 17.4 and Fayette County was 11th at 16.0. The state's average was 18.3.

Bibb also said the county's graduate rate for 2012-13 was expected to be 98.55 percent.

He said the county schools' enrollment for

last year was 11,693, down 1.49 percent from the 2011-12 school year.

• Billy Daugherty of the Tipton County Sher-iff's Office reported that his department is apply-ing for a $17,900 DEA grant that would fund drug surveillance equip-ment.

LEGAL NOTICETEXAS GAS ABANDONMENT PROJECT

NOTICE OF PROPOSED ABANDONMENT OF INTERSTATE NATURAL GAS PIPELINE FACILITIES

On May 29, 2013, Texas Gas Transmission, LLC (Texas Gas), a subsidiary of Boardwalk Pipeline Partners, LP filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) under Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act in Docket No. CP13-485-000.

Texas Gas has proposed to abandon certain segments of the 26-inch interstate natural gas pipeline it currently operates in this county. Specifically, Texas Gas is seeking authority from the FERC to abandon in place approximately 623 miles of its mainline pipeline facilities from Hardinsburg, Kentucky to Eunice, Louisiana, including all auxiliary and associated facilities. The facilities to be abandoned consist primarily of one of three “looped” parallel pipelines that comprise a portion of Texas Gas’ mainline facilities. Upon receipt of FERC authority, the pipeline will be taken out of natural gas service and repurposed for use in natural gas liquids transportation service. Texas Gas anticipates abandonment of these facilities to commence during the second quarter of 2014. Following abandonment, Texas Gas will continue to provide natural gas service on its remaining pipeline facilities, which will remain mostly in the same easement, from Hardinsburg, Kentucky to Eunice, Louisiana.

The Texas Gas Abandonment Project is more fully described in the application to FERC. A copy of the application is available at the Tipton County Public Library, 300 West Church Avenue, Covington, TN 38019. The application may also be viewed on the FERC website at www.ferc.gov, using the “eLibrary” link by entering the docket number in the docket number field to access the document. Further, a separate notice regarding this project will be mailed directly to landowners who are considered affected by the current proposal, under FERC regulations, and to relevant government entities.

For information on becoming involved in the FERC review of this project and/or to obtain the FERC pamphlet, An Interstate Natural Gas Facility on My Land? What Do I Need to Know?, go to the FERC website at www.ferc.gov. You may also contact the FERC Office of External Affairs at (202) 502-8004 or toll-free at (866) 208-3372.

Lawler retires as coach

Lifeblood hosting donor driveBy ECHO [email protected]

It doesn't take much to save a life. Just ask Kenny Young.

The Covington resident is a 13-gal-lon donor who gives whenever he can.

"I was in a bad accident myself a long time ago and realized I could help save someone's life by giving blood."

This week, Lifeblood is celebrating its 50th anniversary by hosting a donor fest, a week-long event to increase blood donations during the summer. The organization's goal is to have 1,963 units of blood donated in the Greater Memphis Area from June 9-15, as a nod to the year the non-profit was founded.

Summer is a crucial time for Life-blood, a time when more donations are needed.

"The summer is often the most diffi-

cult time for Lifeblood, as the need for blood is high but donations are low," said Molly Okeon, spokesperson for the organization. "To counteract this, Lifeblood is scheduling a week-long blitz at its donor centers and mobile drives in hopes of encouraging new, regular and lapsed donors to give blood."

Covington's Lifeblood donation center closed months ago, but the blood mobile has been making its way around Tipton and Lauderdale coun-ties to encourage donors to give. Next week, the blood mobile will be located at Walmart Supercenter, 628 U.S. 51, in Ripley.

Young encourages anyone who is eligible to give, or even those who are unsure if they can give, to stop by.

"You never know whose life might be saved – it could be someone you know or even someone in your family."

It’s time for American dependency to end

Attending Rosemark Grammar School many moons ago when we passed to the fifth grade we were allowed to play organized down to earth sanctioned football. What this meant was, we dressed as best we could in oversized so called uniforms and the big, older mean players used us for battering rams. Three times the uniform swal-lowed Emerson and Mr. Henry had to use a lantern to locate him hidden under a warped thigh pad.

Mr. Billy Simpson, our coach, had bor-rowed some hand me down paraphernalia from the military sta-tioned in Guam I guess. Needless to say the so called uniforms did not fit the young players, but that is all we had. (Same ole story, no money then as it is now.)

Don Pate reminded me the hel-mets were made of hard scruffy leather with no face mask as we know today or chinstrap. Old ball players might relate, but sponge was extinct so we wadded up some worn out dish rags and stuffed a handful in the stinking top. The holes for ears were carved out and you could have chunked a corn eating rat in both sides and never touched the edges.

We stuck rags in the ear slots to protect our hearing. If you got lucky and tried to tackle Ed Haley now that was an experience and hit him with top of your head blunt on, your knob would ring like you had been hammered with a greasy number ten ball peen.

The new boys in the fifth grade had to ’fend for themselves. So we banded together and tried to assist dressing one ’nuther. Phil would back off and gurgle, “How do I look? Arvis would remark, “well turn yo’ helmet around so I can see yo’ eyes.” “You running north but the scraggly hel-met is peering South.” No one helped us rook-

ies. George Robert and Bub Bomar were having

a field day readying up for some good fresh meat.

Wayne and Lynn went back in time to relay the britches drug the top of our so called football shoes. We cinched our waist, draw belt up as tight as we could but there was so much belt left dangling and flapping we ‘pert nigh’ tripped over it. Remember-ing we didn’t have jerseys to pull over our shoulder pads. So a good redneck southerner makes do with what he’s got handy. Momma dug

around in the dresser drawers and got one of Daddy’s worn out, see through t-shirts. I’m set. Almost.

In some cases Don and Tommy tied the oversized, flopping shoul-der pads together with knotted up shoe strings collected from the shed after pilfering through some discarded brogans. The straps for the shoulder pads that was sup-posed to fit under the armpits to secure the big pads disintegrated. Thurman Tim was a farming ge-nius so he came to the rescue.

He studied on it and one day told us to bring some of our Momma’s elastic she used for dresses and britches. Thurman brought his back porch ice pick and punched some holes through the pads and ran the elastic under the arms and measured each boy. Then he took his case pig sticker and cut off the right length and tied the ends in a solid knot. This cured the shoul-der pad problem but that elas-tic sho’ did rub my armpits raw as ground up hot souse. But I’m suited out; just so I can get busted up. This goes to prove that a coun-try redneck and his memories will survive…Glory!

SOUTHERN RAISIN'OTIS GRIFFIN

Slavery is awful! Whether the Hebrews of the Old Testament led to freedom by Moses, the slavery experienced in the United States leading up to the Civil War, or the slavery that still exists in many Third World and Islamic countries, especially with children and women, it is an evil institution.

With that said, not all forms of slavery are against a person’s will, though often it may

seem that way. There are those who are slaves to their vices, or “sin”, such as drugs, alcohol, gambling, over eating, or just spending money on things they cannot afford. Addictions to these and other vices can become a form of slavery that requires unwanted intervention or a per-son choosing to be free, whether through the “pull

yourself up” method or leaning on religious faith.

Perhaps the most pervasive form of slavery in the Western World and especially here in the United States is what I call chattel dependency – people who become slaves to others for their basic necessities such as housing, food, medical care, etc., though they are capable of working and providing for their own needs.

Now, those who intentionally game the vari-ous systems we have but would work if left with no other option I do not put in this cat-egory. In a way, we are slaves to them, working to pay for their selfish laziness. The modern dependency slave is one who truly believes they are entitled, often those who were simply raised in the system and do not know another way.

If your grandmother was in public housing, received welfare checks, collected food stamps and placed your father on free breakfast and lunch programs at school, and then your moth-er did the same, it is no wonder you would think this is normal. You’ve become a slave to dependency. Your basic needs are met but what about your wants and desires? Govern-ment assistance has moved into providing free cell phones and internet, but often those left in this dependency state turn to crime to get the things even the taxpayer cannot cover – nice clothes, fast cars, or expensive restaurants.

You cannot work because if you show an income, your government assistance could be cut. You’re stuck in a low income situation often living in squalid Section 8 or other public housing. You get just enough to get by, but not enough to live a much better life. You are a slave to dependency and in many ways no better off than those forced into work slavery in the 1800 and before.

Now what I am about to say will anger many, but truth be told who are the modern day slave holders? The landlords sucking tax dollars through Section 8. The social workers encouraging this life of dependency rather than encouraging education and work. The Democratic Party that promotes such depen-dency in return for the vote. The party of slave owner, Andrew Jackson, has replaced one form of slavery for another.

We need the Republican Party of 1860 and Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglas to rise up and call for a new emancipation. It won’t be pain free and will involve a social, if not civil, war, but it’s time to once and for all end the slavery of dependence.

JIM HARDIN

Students from Tennessee and all over the country are graduat-ing from high school about this time, and roughly 70 percent of them will go to college next year. Taxpayers will help many of them afford a college education through taxpayer-subsi-dized student loans – the cost of which for students will go up on July 1 if Con-gress doesn’t act.

I co-sponsored a pro-posal with my Republi-can colleagues that would take advantage of today’s low interest rates and head off the interest rate increase for all students. The idea is very simple: If we are going to provide $133 bil-lion in student loans this year, let’s loan the money to students at ex-actly what it costs the government – putting the interest rate at about 4.75 percent – with all the money covering the cost of collections, de-faults and administration.

This would mean the govern-ment is not trying to make a profit on the students, as it is now. The proposal would also fix the loan rate, so that even if rates go up on new loans taken out in future

years, it won’t affect ex-isting loans.

Our legislation would be a permanent fix for all students who take out federal loans, and it should be an area where the U.S. Congress can find broad agreement. The Republican major-ity in the U.S. House of Representatives has passed a bill based on the same idea. Presi-

dent Obama’s budget proposed a similar idea.

But Democrats in the Senate ma-jority have come up with a short-term fix for only 40 percent of the loans taken out over the next two years. Not only do they plan to leave the rest of the borrowers

high and dry, but their proposal raises taxes to do it – and it’s un-constitutional since it is a revenue bill originating in the Senate.

If Congress does not reach an agreement before the end of the month, the cost of these loans for students will go up. Our proposal would save students money now, but would also ensure that in the future, loan rates reflect the mar-ket – it is fair to students, and it is fair to taxpayers.

Hopefully Democrats in the Sen-ate will stop playing politics. You might say this is the opening act of the circus – it will not take long, and it may be a little embarrassing, but after Congress gives it some thought, maybe we can sit down and solve this problem.

I think we should show these students that we support them. Instead of leaving them high and dry, we should be congratulating them – and giving them their tick-et to the middle class.

Under arrestThe following persons were booked into the Tipton County Correctional Facility June 2-8.

Despite the soaring stock market of the past few years, some Ameri-cans are nervous about their abil-ity to retire comfortably — or even retire at all.

Consider these some-what sobering statistics:

• Almost half of Ameri-can workers report be-ing “not too confident” or “not at all confident” about being able to afford a comfortable retirement, according to the Employ-ee Benefit Research In-stitute’s 2013 Retirement Confidence Survey. The 28 percent who say they are “not at all” confident is the highest level recorded in the 23 years of this sur-vey.

• Between 2010 and 2012, the percentage of people 45 to 60 who planned to delay retirement rose to 62 percent from 42 percent, ac-cording to the Conference Board, a non-profit business membership and research organization.

If you’re in either of these groups — that is, if you’re concerned about having enough resources to enjoy your retirement years or you’re afraid that you’ll have to work longer than you anticipated — what can you do to possibly al-leviate your worries?

Your first step is to get specific about your retirement goals. Have you set a target date for your retire-ment yet? If so, how many years

until you reach this date? Once you know when you want

to retire, you’ll need to come up with some sort of “price tag” for your retirement years. By tak-

ing into account your hoped-for lifestyle and your projected longev-ity, you should be able to develop a reasonably good estimate of how much money you’ll need as a retiree. You may find it helpful to work with a financial professional — some-one with the tools and

experience to plug in all the vari-ables needed to calculate your re-tirement expenses.

Next, review your retirement savings vehicles, such as your 401(k) and IRA. Are you contribut-ing as much as you can afford to these accounts? Are you increas-ing your contributions when your salary rises? Within these vehicles, are you choosing an investment mix that can offer the growth you’ll need to accumulate a suffi-cient level of retirement savings?

Even after you’ve “maxed out” on your IRA and 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan, you can find other tax-advan-taged vehicles in which to invest for retirement. Again, your finan-cial advisor can help you evaluate the ones that may be suitable for your needs.

Still, even after maximizing your investments, you may come up short of what you’ll need, given your desired retirement date. Consequently, you may need to consider working a couple of ex-tra years. If you like your career, you may find that moving out your retirement date isn’t so bad — you’ll bring in more earned in-come and you may be able to de-lay taking Social Security, which would eventually result in bigger monthly checks. Plus, you could postpone your withdrawals from your 401(k) and IRA, giving these accounts more time in which to potentially grow. (Keep in mind, though, that once you turn 70-1/2, you’ll have to start taking money from your 401(k) and your tradi-tional IRA.)

In any case, do what you can to retire when you want — but be flexible enough in your thinking so that you won’t be shocked or dismayed if you need to slightly extend your working years. By “covering your bases” in this way, you can be ready for whatever comes your way.

As an injury lawyer, the way people are injured or killed is strangely interesting to me. As I write this I am traveling through multiple national parks in the western United States with my family, which has been a dream of ours for many years.

If you asked most visi-tors to national parks what they are afraid of, it will usually be a bear attack. And, bears have killed people. But it is rare.

What should they really be afraid of? Flying. 379 people have died in air-craft accidents in and around the airspace over the Grand Canyon alone.

In one recent year, the National Park service Reported 160 deaths and 1658 injuries within Park borders.

Not every death is from a fall or a bear attack or a crash, however, about 80 years ago, a

43-year-old prospector was hik-ing down a place in the Grand Canyon called “Snake Gulch.” Apparently it was well named. A

rattlesnake loudly rattled at him and reportedly made a partial strike. While the snake never touched him, the man died of a heart attack!

Nineteen scald-ing deaths have been recorded in connection with Yellowstone’s hot springs and

famous geysers since 1870. One was not an accident. A 24 year old and his friend were there with a dog named Moosie, when the dog jumped in to a thermal pool. The man dove in and swam out to the dog and attempted to take it to shore; he then disap-peared underwater, let go of the dog, and tried to climb out of the pool. Now blind, his skin was already peeling everywhere from

third degree burns that resulted in the deaths of he and the dog.

In 1992, a 38-year-old jumped onto a wall at the Grand Canyon and acted like he was falling. He wind-milled his arms trying to scare his teenaged daughter, he jumped onto a short slope to complete the act. Unknown to his bored daughter, he slipped and fell silently about 400 feet into the abyss.

Suicides are surprisingly common in national parks. But one stands out. One man on a scenic helicopter flight, pur-posely jumped about 4,000 feet. It reportedly took 15 Park Service Personnel to gather the body parts.

Mr. Peel seeks justice for those injured in car accidents, work place incidents, medical malpractice, and nursing homes. He often addresses churches, clubs and groups without charge. Mr. Peel may be reached through PeelLawFirm.com wherein other articles may be accessed.

SCHOOL DAYS

A look back: Craig’s ChapelBy SHERRI ONORATISpecial to � e Leader

Editor's note: This summer, The Leader is continuing its summer series on Tipton County’s former community schools. At one time, there were more than 100 community schools located throughout Tipton County. These stories are about those historical schools, the teachers and the students, which helped developed Tipton County’s educational system into one of the best in the state. To kick-off the 2013 series, we’ll take a look at Craig’s Chapel, once located in the Brighton community.

Although, it’s been hard to de-termine when Craig’s Chapel first started its school, records at the Tipton County Board of Education do show that it was in opera-tion, and the district was paying teachers at the school, as far back as 1911. There are written records that describe the school as a frame building, erected in 1918. The one-room building was just 600 square feet sitting on a half acre. It was lighted by windows on three sides and came with an ordinary stove for heating in the winter, windows for ventilation and two different size seats for students. There was well water on the grounds and one unsanitary toilet. The students had use of a hylo plate blackboard, but no library books, and the only playground equipment was an old basketball, valued at $1.

TeachersThe list of verifiable teachers

who left their mark on Craig’s Chapel included:

1912 Clemmie Adkinson1913 M. Williams1914 Lottie Cothran1915 Mary A. Walker1916 Miarianna Walker and

Annie Stevens1917 Annie Stevens and Lillian

Nelson1918 H.M. Sweat1919 Pauline Blankenship1920 Lois Black1921-22 Myrtle Baskin1923 Veatrice May Lall1924-25 Gertrude Lyles1926-27 Gazle Turnage1928 Alma Billings1929 Bessie Joyner1930-33 Gazle Turnage1934 Lena Ellen Goss1935 Louise Templeton

School DaysAvailable teachers' records

begin with the 1923-24 term, with Gertrude Lyles as the educator of the one-room schoolhouse. That year, the school year began on Aug. 6, 1923, and dismissed on Apr. 18, 1924, for a total of 160 school days with just two “lost” days according to Lyles – Thanks-giving and Christmas.

Students at the school were between the ages of five to 18 and in grades 1st through 7th grade.

The school did teach up to 8th grade but there were no students in the 8th grade that year. School began promptly at 8:30 a.m. with chapel exercises and concluded at 3:30 with spelling, the last subject of the day. And just as teach-ers today have a set and precise schedule to follow for students, in the early 20th century, Craig’s Chapel was no different. The daily schedule consisted of:

8:30 – 8:45 chapel exercises8:45 – 10 reading10 – 10:15 recess10:15 – 11:50 arithmeticNoon-1 noon lunch1 – 1:45 language1:45 – 2:30 geography2:30 – 3 history3 – 3:15 seat work 3:15 – 3:30 spelling

During the 1923-24 school year, there were a total of 46 students from the Compton, Craig, Glad-den, Gookin, Hanks, Higgins, Holliman, Ralph, Suggs, Turnage, Wardell and Wilson families. All of the students came from farm families and traveled up to two miles a day to get to school. By the end of the year, 25 students had dropped from the school rolls and only 21 were promoted to the next grade.

At the conclusion of the 1926-27 school year, there were 36 stu-dents, but only one, an 8-year-old 3rd grader by the name of Ruby Velma Hanks, completed the year with perfect attendance. Little Ruby walked a mile and a half to attend school each day and she loved to go. The proof is in her attendance record and in her grades – she ended the term with straight A’s and was promoted to the 4th grade. Ruby, the daughter of Joseph C. Hanks, graduated from 8th grade in 1932 at age 12 – again with perfect attendance and straight A’s. In fact, during her eight years at Craig’s Chapel, she only missed 11 days of school and 10 of those days were when she was in the 4th grade. She also achieved straight A’s every year.

In 1933, Gazle Turnage was the

teacher at Craig’s Chapel, having seven years of experience under her belt with six of them at Craig’s Chapel. She was issued perma-nent certificate #29174 on June 30, 1930. She was a single, 26-year old and made $67.50 a month to teach 32 students in grades 1st thru 8th. At the end of the year, she wrote that the school had a leaking roof over the porch and five yards of blackboard. There were nine eras-ers in the classroom, two brooms, one bucket, one shovel and two dippers.

A school improvement asso-ciation was started during the 1933-34 term. The president was the teacher for that year, Miss Lena Ellen Goss and the secre-tary was Mrs. Clyde Hanks. The association had 10 members and they held five meeting throughout the year. The group raised $26.75 during the year and bought a new globe for the classroom for $1, four library books for $1.50, school decorations in the amount of $13.60 and other expenditures amounted to $10.65. The school had 53 students – 27 boys and 26 girls.

School ImprovementThe last record available for

the school ends with the 1934-35 school year. The building and heating plant were valued at $500, with the grounds listed at $25. The school added 27 new books to the library, a donation from the Junior PTA of Washington. Students ran the School Improve-ment Association this year. They had 12 members and held four meetings, which they boasted had a 90 percent attendance rate. The students raised $14.50 for the year and spent 40 cents on repairing desks and furniture and another $11.45 on unidentified expenses. They ended the year with a bal-ance of $2.65.

Above is a list of students who attended Craig's Chapel School in the 1920s.

NEW DOCTOR

Wiseman new pediatrician in CovingtonBy FRANCE [email protected]

Covington has a new pediatri-cian, Dr. Will Wiseman, who will soon open Covington Children’s Clinic, an affiliate of Baptist Medi-cal Group. The new practice is located across the highway from the hospital in the former office of Dr. Jimmie Beasley.

Having had his own private practice in Nashville for 10 years, Dr. Will, as he is fondly known by his patients and families, says, “Covington feels a lot like the town in which I grew up, Tifton, Georgia."

From his first visit to Coving-ton, Dr. Will fell in love with the small town appeal, as well as the warm hospitality of everyone he met.

“I really enjoy being in a place where everyone knows each other, I love the square! It has so much charm, which seems to be very representative of the com-munity," he said. "I believe this is where God brought me to be—I know it’s God’s will and plan, and I truly believe I’m here for a pur-

pose. I’m so excited to be here in Covington and to find out exactly what that purpose is.”

Dr. Will says he’s eager to serve new patients in this community.

“As a pediatrician, I have the opportunity to not only meet the health needs of children, but to minister to the emotional and spiritual needs of these children and their families, as well.”

Dr. Will graduated from Lip-scomb University, in Nashville,

and the Medical College of Georgia, in Augusta. His pediatric residency was completed at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston.

From the time he was 4 years old, he knew he wanted to be a doctor, he said, and his love and affinity for kids led him into pediatrics.

As a single father, Dr. Will is also excited to be sharing this new chapter in his life with his 7-year-old son, Sam.

“We are thrilled to be here in Covington, and I feel so blessed to have this opportunity. I have a great new staff, and we all love the renovations that have been made to get the clinic ready!”

Once the renovations are com-plete, the remaining equipment serviced, and the final supplies received, the office will be set to open. Seeing patients from birth to college aged, Dr. Will’s clinic will now be the only pediatric clinic serving the Covington com-munity.

For more information, or to make an appointment, contact Covington Children’s Clinic at 901-476-7570.

Saturday’s prediction of a 30 percent chance of rain gave us .85 inches early Sunday morning and another half inch that evening! We never turn down a rain during crop season, but we do have to get this wheat out soon!

We had a very good VBS based on the miracles of Jesus last week. I loved seeing the puppets and the children singing! Lyla had a big time! John Evans did a great job teaching the adult class. It was a great event!

Justin was invited to play golf on a PGA course in Mississippi last Wednesday, so Elizabeth and Lyla spent the night with us, in Elizabeth’s canopy bed! It was so much fun - we baked cookies and watched a movie. The girls slept late the next morning and stayed till 4 p.m. You just never know what will happen!

Cammy Evans, Pam Tankersley and I

were the only three to make it to “ladies dinner and movie night” Friday night. We had a lot of fun, and dessert in Covington after the movie. It was a fun night!

Saturday I drove to Almyra to the home of Libby Click for the wedding of her granddaughter, Whitney Barber, to Nathan Carroll. The bridesmaids all wore different color dresses which coordinated with the groom and groomsmen's vests and ties, and the flower girls' sashes. It was so pretty and a very sweet wedding! We enjoyed fruit, veggies, chocolate dipped marshmal-lows and pretzels, cucumber sandwiches and of course, a beautiful cake, with carna-tions in the colors of the wedding cascad-ing down the layers. I am so glad I got to go and I wish the newlyweds many happy years together!

Locals - do you know there is a great Italian restaurant in Munford? We went to Casa Piatto Caffe Sunday with Clint, Courtney and Blake Gassoway. It is won-derful!

Dale Laxton was supposed to be at church on Sunday but he got another blood

clot, in his leg, and is back in the hospital for a few days. He's in our prayers, along with Tonya Hill, who had surgery; Shir-ley Cook, taking treatments; and Bonnie Holbrook, John Henderson, Bertha Scrip, Loreda Brown, Debbie Otts' mother, and Betty Baskin, Hope Collins' mother. We are also praying for: Mary Culver, Sam Stitt, Phil Huffman, and so many others, along with all our servicemen and women.

My sincere sympathy goes to Lorie Liles in the death of her mother, Nita McLem-ore, in Alabama, and to Miranda Shroader in the death of her grandmother this past week. These families are in my prayers.

The birthday party at Covington Manor will be on the 15th at 2 p.m. The devotional at Covington Care will be on the 16th at 4 p.m.

Happy birthday to Joyce Whaley on June 10, to Pat Farabee, Rick Moore, Hannah Johnson and Ken Bringle Jr. on the 11th, to Brenda Mason on the 13th, to Perry Pena on the 14th and to Noah Liles and Tonya Stanley on the 15th!

Happy anniversary to Neil and Tonya

Stanley on June 5, to John and Mindi Henderson on the 9th, to Tim and Ginger Sallee on the 11th and to Rodger and Mary Beasley on the 14th!

Charles and Doris Yoakum will celebrate their 63rd anniversary with a reception on Sunday, June 16, from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the fellowship hall of the Covington Church of Christ. Refreshments will be served, no gifts please.

Also Ted and Carolyn Turner will cel-ebrate their 50th anniversary on Saturday, June 22!

This week's Farmer's Almanac quote: "June 14 (Friday) is Flag Day. The U. S. flag should be hoisted briskly and lowered ceremoniously".

The Readers Digest has an article this month that states " . . . that our brains favor natural, spontaneous writing over more polished content". And that's what I try to do! Thanks to all my readers - Sa-lute!

Until next week . . .

Mt. CarmelElaine Watkins

After a busy couple of weeks, I

finally have some down time. The weather has been so-so with the rain, and the out-side work has shown some improvement.

The Gilt Edge Church of Christ would like to thank all in supporting our vacation

bible school and making it a success. On July 21-24, the gospel meeting will

take place at Gilt Edge and the speaker will be Brother Troy Leland. The service times will be Sunday morning at 10 a.m. and the afternoon service at 3 p.m. The Monday through Wednesday services begin at 7:30 p.m. Everyone is invited.

Southern Wide Championship wrestling returns to the Garland Community Center this weekend (June 15) and bell time is at 8

p.m. The shows are separate and the talent is excellent for both. Bring the family and have fun together.

On the prayer list this week: Willie Mae Lawson, Lois Smith, Andrea Stafford, Caro-lyn Hanks, Carla Carlson, DeVaughn Jack-son, Herbert Yelvington, Sami Jo Schulz, Otis Poole and Betty Baskin.

Please remember: Dennis Gholson, Jody Coker, Ian Boswell, Michael Barton, Ryan Hirsch, E.J. Perkins, Seth Kellow, Chance

Hall, Michael Watson and those who serve in the military.

Happy birthdays to: Hunter Chapman, Jennifer Hampton, Kozie Hubbard and Barbara Stevens.

So far, I have enjoyed the college baseball tournament and, as of writing, two have punched tickets (LSU and UCLA) to the college world series in Omaha, Neb. I hope everyone has a good week and God bless you.

Gilt EdgeJohnny Blyue

Hello everybody! Hope you’re all doing fine and dandy this week! We’re trying to stay in and keep cool. It was hot out there today, so hope you’re all staying in as well! I was so glad to see my notes in here last week because I wanted everyone to know I was so appreciative for all of you that made our Springfest possible and flow so well! Thank you all once again for all your hard work!

I want to have our yard sale but I be dadgum if I wanna have it when its sooooo hot! It’s been raining every Thursday or

Friday since our Springfest so I haven’t been able to have it, and just between you and me, I was ready for a break! The stress of getting pumped for it and then having to put it off kinda knocked the wind outta my sail! I was ready to “get’er done,” you know what I mean? But I’ll have it here pretty soon and I’ll keep everyone posted as to when it will be so you can plan your days around it. I do have a lot of stuff to look through.

I’m so excited to say we have a full house again here at Dunlap. We’d like to wel-come Mr. Nathan Adkins to our Dunlap family and Ms. Alberta James. Mr. Nathan is from Tipton County and has family here, so wel-

come Mr. Nathan, we’re so glad to have you! Also, Ms. Alberta is from Louisiana, but has been residing in Millington with her sweet daughter and husband re-cently. We are so very glad to have you Ms. Alberta! We here at Dunlap hope you both enjoy your stay! Ms. Linnie has already made a friend, she and Ms. Alberta sure do enjoy talking, as Ms. Alberta is a former school teacher! I sure do miss Ms. Flo and all her school teacher’s funny stories! We still love and miss you, Ms. Flo!

But now don’t fear because we are still trying to get a waiting list together to reopen Hunter Hall. We are always taking names and phone numbers, so

if you know anyone who would like to live out here in the country with us, please let me know!

I guess the most excit-ing news I have this week is that we are having the Dunlap Kids Reunion this weekend and I am soooo excited for this event! The planning committee has been planning this reunion since either January or Feb-ruary, I forgot for sure. But anyone that ever lived at Dunlap is invited to come and join them. If you have not heard about it, please call me and I will hook you up with the fine folks in charge! My number is 476-7014, please call and let me know if you would like to come!

Well dear ones, I love

you all so much and I pray God’s blessings on you! Until next week, tune in and I’ll probably have some funny stories about the reunion I’m sure!

BY RUSSELL BAILEYCounty Historian

John Uriah Green of Covington, Lt. Colonel of the Ten-nessee Confederate Partisan Rangers when captured by the Federals, was part of a daring escape on June 10, 1863:

“(Colonel Green) was carried from Memphis to St. Louis, where he remained in prison two months. From there he was sent to (Fortress Monroe), Norfolk, Va., enduring hard-ships of prison life, even to the extent of having the death warrant read to him. Before this sentence was carried into execution he was ordered to be sent to Fort Delaware on board the steamer Maple Leaf.

Being unwilling to endure the tortures of life in a North-ern prison, the guard in charge of the ship was overpowered and captured by the prisoners, the steamer was run ashore near Cape Henry Lighthouse and all on board who were able to travel (93 of us, all officers, per Col. Green) made their escape into the Dismal Swamp, where they remained for 10 days, being pursued by four regiments of cavalry. '‘By God’s help we got safely through to Richmond,’ were Col. Green’s words in relating the incident. From Richmond,

Col. Green returned to his regiment in the fall of 1863. John U. Green was appointed colonel of the noted 12th

Tennessee Cavalry of Forrest’s command and he led it bravely in very many of its combats. He was much beloved by his men, as he was always kind and thoughtful of their welfare and shared cheerfully their deprivations and hard-ships.

He was an elder of the Presbyterian Church, and a de-vout Christian. The lieutenant colonel of the same regi-ment was a Cumberland Presbyterian preacher; the major a Baptist deacon; the adjutant a Presbyterian elder, and the Chaplain a Cumberland Presbyterian. Dr. E. H. Scholl, of Birmingham, was Surgeon of the Regiment.”

On June 16, 1863, Captain William Bell’s Company F, 12th Tennessee Cavalry was at Mason’s Depot, Tipton County, where he enlisted 16-year old Thomas J. Taylor as a private. Thomas’ father had been arrested and jailed for 3 weeks for refusing to tell where ammunition was and for refusing to take the Federal oath of allegiance.

Young Thomas J. Taylor was slightly wounded in the en-gagement at Pulaski, Tenn. and Sulphur Trestle, Ala.

He was captured at Athens, Ala., but a charge by his com-

rades drove the Federals back, rescuing him from captivity.He was frequently detailed a courier and was paroled

with Forrest cavalry at Gainesville, Ala. in May 1865. A biographical sketch notes that this company, Company F, served as the escort company for General Alexander W. Campbell from February through May 1865. Thomas was paroled as a member of Company K, 3d Tennessee Cavalry Regiment May 11, 1865 at Gainesville, Ala. “He missed but one day of duty, for sickness.”

After the war, Thomas J. Taylor returned to Mason. In 1870, he was farming and had an estate of $3,700. He later engaged in business, served as magistrate, mayor and two terms as Sheriff of Tipton County.

Thomas moved to Memphis in 1887 and became a suc-cessful life insurance agent. He joined the Confederate Historical Association. He married Hannah M. Walker in 1868. She died in 1880 and in 1883, he married Helen Clai-borne; he was father of five children. He was a brother of Tennessee Congressman Zachary Taylor of Tipton County and later Shelby. Rep. Taylor represented Tipton in the 10th Congressional District.

Greetings-

On Saturday morning at 10 a.m., at Carey

Chapel AME Church, Jamestown, there was a health fair sponsored by Jamestown Com-munity Health Organization. President Rev. Pearl Andrews would have loved a larger crowd, however, even though it was mainly the local citizens in attendance, everyone enjoyed himself. There were several medi-cal tests performed such as blood pressure screenings, and lots of free health and food planning literature to go around. Refresh-ments such as hot dogs, sodas and ice cream were sold. Rev. Kevin King, Jr. was the lucky

winner of the grocery giveaway raffle; he’s the oldest son of LaRue Albritton and is the pastor of New Hope MB Church in Burli-son, in the Hawkins Community. Congratu-lations to Pastor King.

You’ve still got plenty of time to pay your yearly $25 dues to Jamestown Community Health Organization (JCHO). For all of you out-of-towners who once lived right here in Jamestown, contacts are: treasurer Mary Burton, Jessie Cooke, assistant treasurer or president Rev. Pearl Andrews, Pam Spring-field, Gwen Cooke, Katarene Harber or Glenn Baker. Dues are sorely needed for the college scholarship, cemetery (Dickens) up-keep and especially JCHO’s building fund.

The George R. Ellis Alumni are planning

a trip to the Big Easy sometime next year by train from Memphis. Contacts are Jes-sie Cooke and Calvin “Scooter” Butler, all aboard for lots of fun.

We are in prayer for: Isiah Burton Sr., Joseph Heaston Sr., Ruth Alston, Katarene Harber, Posey Reed, Connie Brown, Carlotta Jones, Jessie Lawson, Flossie Woods, Gretie Coleman, Rudolph Boykins, Jennie Stewart, Doris King, Louis Mason, Vetrice Teamer, Gladys Miller and family, Beaulah Wake-field, Eugene Baker and Mary Ballard.

Special mentions to my faithful readers asking for prayers: Rhonda Heaston Mclin and family, Percy White and family, Robert Smith and family, Johnnie Thompson and family, Jerry Jones and family, Wayne Jerry,

Eula Culbreath and family, Charlene and David Sneed, Andrew Jackson and family and minister Pink Sherrill, Jr. (who is not married, as many of you readers thought. It was a misprint of his name, which was Min. not Mrs.; he laughed it off and said, “I ain’t married!”)

Happy birthday this week to LaRue Al-britton, June 19, Richard Westbrooks, June 8, Velda Fran Gray Young, June 23, now of Hanover, Md., my first cousin.

This is it for this week, like I’ve said, “if you’d love to see it in print, get it to me! Re-member, as wonderful as it may be, if it’s never told, it’s never known!”

Happy Father’s Day, dads-Until next time-

Hi Friends, The other day we were in

Millington looking to find some red spray paint.

Well, we happened to stop at Building Materi-als, and they had red spray paint, just two cans. We are repainting our deck furni-ture bright red; old wood really soaks up the paint.

Mr. got out of the car and went in the store, while I sat out in the car.

In a few minutes, he came back out with two cans of red spray paint, but best of all, this young person came out with him. He had helped the old man find the red paint.

Mr. said to me, “Do you know this young man?”

And I said, “I do not

know him.”“Well,” he said, “this is

one of your Sunday School students when we lived in Frayser, and went to Fray-ser Height United Method-ist Church.”

I did know him! His name is Stew Ervin. I said hello, and he said he reads my writing in The Leader every week. I thanked him so much for remembering us. It was so nice of him to come out to the car to see me.

Thanks, Stew Ervin.We had a special treat this

last Saturday night. Mar-shall and I will have our 61st wedding anniversary on June 14, our daughter will celebrate her anniver-sary of 33 years on June 15, and my granddaughter will celebrate her anniver-sary on the 12th of June. We took all of them, including

our youngest granddaugh-ter (who, at 15, is the tall-est person in our family), to supper at our favorite res-taurant. All seven of us were treated to a free meal. That was really special for us all. Thank you restaurant for a wonderful meal.

We had a great meal last Sunday at Elm Grove Unit-ed Methodist Church.

Recently, there was a

commissioning of the Elm Grove UMC mission team. I think there are 10 people going on the mission trip to Guatemala, where they will work with Habitat for Hu-manity. We will have them all in our prayers, and will be praying for their safety. Thanks to each one of the team. Our prayers will be with you all. Thank you.

The Lady Chargers basketball team has a new head coach.

Graduating from Covington High School in 2003 following a career as a star on the softball field and basketball court, Katrisha Glass went on to Southwest Community College and played basketball for a sea-son before continuing to UT-Knoxville and earning a degree in education.

Ten years later, with two years on the bench as an assistant coach under head coach Dion Real, Katrisha Glass assumes a new role as the head coach of the Lady Chargers.

“She is excited and she is ready for this challenge," said Real, who will remain as the head boys coach. "It is tough to step away from the girls, but I feel that it is time. The girls will be really good this year. The change is best for the program."

“Coach Real has been working to get the girl’s pro-gram to a level that would allow him to turn it over to a coach who can handle the team and all that goes with being a head coach," Covington athletic director Mark McClain said. "Coach Glass has shown herself to be a quick study and to have the skills to do the job. We look forward to her taking the program to new heights."

Glass, who teaches English II at CHS, is excited for the opportunity. She was effusive in her praise for her mentor, Real.

“He has taught a defensive concept that works," Glass said. "We will continue that. Moreover, he has taught us that each of us is accountable for our ac-tions on and off the court and in practice. The system he has taught and the mark that he has made on the girls and on me will remain with us forever and will be the foundation for continuing the success of the girls' program. “

Glass plans to utilize the man-to-man, pressing de-fensive style instituted by Real with “some tweaks where we need to tweak.”

Her expectation is that her team will work hard in practice and even harder on the floor. Joining her on the bench is her big sister, Katasha Poindexter, also a veteran of the Real system. A second assistant is ex-pected to be named during the summer break.

“Katrisha and Katasha together are the perfect com-bination,” said Real. “Katrisha will do the teaching and Katasha will be the disciplinarian. It will work out really well.”

“This is a really exciting time," Katrisha said. “ We feel that the prospects for the upcoming season are really good. It doesn’t appear on the surface that the new district we are entering will be as tough as the one we are leaving, but that should work in our favor and help us to move on in the post-season.”

CHS will join Haywood, Ripley, Jackson Central-Merry, Jackson Northside and Liberty Magnet in Dis-trict 15 in the fall.

The cupboard won’t be bare. A lot of experience re-turns at every position. The departure of UTM signee

Ashia Jones means that “former role players will have to become more," Glass said.

Precious Harvey returns for her senior season at the point to be aided by a steadily improving Treasury Poindexter. Janika Mason, J’La Brandon, Iesha Tipton and Janika Mason headline returnees .

"Want to know how we will be this season?" asked Glass. “Just come out and watch. I believe you’ll like what you see.”

After overcoming a multitude of unique ob-stacles, the 2013 Brighton Middle School track sea-son proved to be success-ful.

At the TMSAA Confer-ence held at Dyersburg, the young ladies placed third, taking several ath-letes to Memphis, where the TMSAA regional was

held, which also resulted in a third place finish.

Jashell Fears, Ad-die Mallard and Alyssa Hunt, all eigth-graders, were named all confer-ence.

Hunt was the only eighth grader to advance to regionals and placed fifth.

“These eighth graders

track talents are going to be sorely missed next year,” said BMS coach Debbie Vick.

Mallard threw shot put and discus, and ran the 4x400 relay.

Fears competed in the long jump, the 800-meter relay and 100-meter dash. Hunt also threw shot put and discus.

“The Brighton High School track program will be getting some good fe-male athletes,” Vick said. “While this year was low on seasoned eigth grad-

ers, the sixth an seventh graders showed they are up to the challenge next

year. Their gained ex-perience on the track, and the willingness to over-

come exceptional barri-ers, show that the future of the girls Brighton Mid-dle School track program strongly indicates a very good year for 2014.”

BMS track season proved to be a successful one

The temple of commerce?John 2:13-16

I believe it is here, at the Pass-over, in Jerusalem at the temple, that Jesus starts His true ministry.

Notice that John does not say the ‘Passover of God,’ rather he says the ‘Passover of the Jews.'

Even though origi-nally commanded by God, the Jews had cor-rupted even this festival by declaring it as ‘their’ festival, the Passover of the Jews. And this is what Jesus sees as He said in Matthew 23:38, "Behold, your house is being left to you desolate!”

The religious ruling class had made the house of God desolate. I believe this is the first of two cleansings that Jesus made of the temple. In this incident, Jesus uses a scourge, which is not mentioned in Matthew, Mark or Luke, and His words are particularly different.

Originally, the individual sacrific-es were to be brought to the priests by the petitioner. At this time, this practice has been so corrupted, that the worshippers were required to purchase the animals and birds from the temple officials and it was no longer allowed for the people to bring their own sacrifices. And, the only money that could be used to purchase an animal or bird sacrifice was temple currency.

The denarius and other money, which bore the image of Caesar or an idol was not allowed. This way, the temple sold a franchise for the supply of animals and birds, and the only supply of money in which these animals and birds could be purchased was held by other permit holders, and all of these were squeezing the common person unmercifully. And it is probably true that these money changers had actually moved into the sacred area of the temple, by permission of the high priest.

No wonder Jesus was offended. Would Jesus be offended today with our churches having become houses of merchandise and amusement and theatrics and schemes to raise big amounts of money? Although our church buildings are not the ‘house of the Lord,’ many are still patterns of the temple during the time of Jesus.

Did Jesus actually use a whip on the people in the temple? I do not think so. Did Jesus get angry? Yes, I believe He did. The whip was necessary to drive the animals from the temple, but with regard to the

salesmen and the money changers, the honest righteous anger of Jesus, crying out against the heartless

commercialization of the house of God was much more effective than that of any physical threat.

This may have been the principal reason that the religious rulers really began to hate Jesus, and I am sure that from this day forward, the began to conspire on how to get rid of Jesus.

There are those who say that the birds could

not be driven out, so Jesus commanded that they be carried out. It is my belief that the dove symbolizes the Holy Spirit so Jesus would not treat even the symbol of the Holy Spirit with what may appear to be disrespect. Jesus com-mands those who were selling the doves to “stop making My Father’s house a house of merchandise.”

This cleansing of the temple was much more than a Jewish reformers act, it was a sign of the Messiah.

Malachi 3:1 tells us that “the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to His temple.”

And Malachi 3:2 tells us, ”But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears?”

Zechariah 14:21 tells us, “In that day there shall no longer be a Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts.“ The word Canaanite indi-cates a “trader.”

So, very early in His ministry, Jesus declares His right to Messiah by the fulfilling the prophecy from the Old Testament.

FEAST OF THE PASSOVER - The Passover was held on the

14th of the first month, Abib, which is our April. The Passover was to remember the ‘passing over’ of the death angel and the exodus from Egypt. The ministry of Jesus started on Passover and ended on Passover.

There are two times that Jesus cleared the temple, the first was at the beginning of His ministry, which is found in John 2:13-16, and He cleared the temple again at near the end of His ministry, found in Matthew 21:12-16, Mark 11:15-17 and Luke 19:45-46.

From these scriptures, and proph-ecy from the Old Testament, that I believe that at each Passover, the temple became like a flea market, with a carnival atmosphere.

Jeremiah 7:11 tells us, “Has this house, which is called by My name, become a den of thieves in your

eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it,” says the Lord.“

THE COURT OF THE GENTILESThe only part of to which foreign-

ers were admitted was situated on the lowest level outside the sacred precincts.

THE SACRED ENCLOSUREThree feet above the Court of the

Gentiles, all Gentiles were forbid-den to pass through under the penalty of death.

THE COURT OF THE WOMENSometimes called the Treasury,

three feet higher than the sacred enclosure. Jewish women were permitted to enter, but they could not advance beyond it.

THE COURT OF ISRAELThis was ten feet higher than the

Court of the Women. Male Jews could enter.

COURT OF THE PRIESTSThis was three feet higher than

the Court of Israel and was reserved for priests only.

THE HOUSE OF GODThis was eight feet above the

Court of the Priests. It was divided into two compartments. The Holy Place and the Holy of Holies or Most Holy Place. Into the Holy Place, the priests entered to perform certain duties at the stated times. But into the Most Holy Place, only the high priest might enter, and he only once a year on the Day of Atonement, to make atonement for the sins of the people.

The exclusion of the Gentiles from the temple proper pointed to the fact that the Jews regarded themselves as the chosen people and wholly separated from other nations.

The graduations of the courts and the prohibitions concerning access to them, emphasized the strict class distinctions in the Jewish system of religion.

The inaccessibility of the Holy of Holies to all except the high priest on one day a year, and all of the various obstacles that prevented the common people from ever ap-proaching the dwelling place of the presence of God, was a continuing object lesson of the righteousness of God and His separation from sinners.

But, during the time of Jesus, this system had been so corrupted as to even allow buying and selling within the temple, probably in the Court of the Priests.

The Covington FFA had a great end of the school year.

On Sunday, Britney Kellum, Molly Flanagan and Mr. Johnson left for Fall Creek Falls to attend the 64th Annual Tennessee FFA Forestry Camp.

During the week, the students learned about tree identification, tree measuring, azimuth read-ings, hardwood management, pine management, fire fighting, topographical mapping, and wild-life concepts. The students got to work with foresters and students

from all across the state. On Friday, each student par-

ticipated in a competition on tree measuring, tree identification, and compass reading.

Kellum was first in the entire camp in tree measuring and Molly Flanagan was second in compass reading. Kellum was also recog-nized as being the outstanding camper of the week, which is the highest honor one can achieved at the camp.

On Friday, the chapter moved on to Camp Clements to participate in the Tennessee State Forestry Competition and the Tennessee State Environmental and Natural

Resources Management Competi-tion. The chapter did extremely well in both competitions, as they were first in the district, second in West Tennessee and fourth in the state at Forestry.

The chapter was also first in the district and West Tennessee and fifth in the state in the Envi-ronmental and Natural Resources Management competition. The chapter was also ranked fifth over-all in the state for the National Chapter Award, and will move on to compete this fall in that award program.

The U.S. Coast Guard has mandated that all registered vessels in Ten-nessee provide a properly format-ted Hull Identi-fication Number (HIN) to TWRA.

The HIN is a 12-digit number, generally located on the outside of the hull in the up-per right corner of the boat’s transom.

A properly formatted HIN begins with 3 letters,

followed by 5 characters (either numbers or let-ters), then one letter, then

one number, and lastly, the last two dig-its of the year. Example: AB-C12345D313.

C u s t o m e r s with an inval-id HIN may renew their

boats, but only for the next three years. After the Coast Guard mandat-ed deadline, our system

will decline these renew-als and any new owner applications.

It is imperative to cor-rect these numbers in the system before that dead-line.

Boaters can contact the TWRA at 1-800-648-8798 for more information.
