Erosion exposes
grave siteBy ECHO DAY
RANDOLPH - A nor-mally quiet community was abuzz with activ-ity Thursday as human remains were unearthed at Richardson’s Landing.
Residents said the property is rumored to be family burial grounds exposed by constant ero-sion of the bluff by the Mississippi River.
“My son and his neigh-bor went down the bluff and found the bones,î said property owner Barbara Spencer. “They texted me and said, ‘Mama, we have this crazy Mother’s Day present for you!’”
Her other son, she said, called and shared the news of their find.
“He said, ‘We found bones and a casket. Happy Mother’s Day!”
A deteriorated wood-en casket and fragments of what appeared to be a human skeleton — a skull, teeth, pelvic bones, vertebrae and a femur — could be seen from the bluffís edge.
“You can tell it was old by the casket being dete-riorated and the hard-ware; you can just tell,” Spencer said.
During the Civil War, Randolph was a bustling riverport city, rivaling that of pre-Civil War era
Memphis. During the war, the
city was torched by Union soldiers but never regained its status as a major riverport.
Spencer moved into her home in 1997 and her neighbors have shared with her stories she believed to be rumors regarding the property’s past.
“We’d heard about other houses being out and there was a store and various tales about them running moonshine,” she said. “At one point one of the neighbors said there had been a graveyard out here and someone had taken and removed the stones. You don’t know what to believe and what not to believe.”
She’s beginning to think the neighbors’ tales were true.
Though Spencer’s land once protruded 150 yards farther into what is now the Mississippi River, it has now been lost for-ever to the river’s murky waters.
Because of the erosion, a boat ramp and the end of Hwy. 59 West have also been lost.
“It falls off all the time. It just cracks and breaks off. We didn’t expect this when we moved in,” said Deputy Chief Donna Turner brushes soil from a hip bone Thursday. The body is be-
lieved to have been buried at least a century ago, but will be tested by the medical examinerʼs offi ce. See additional photos on page A2. Photo by Echo Day.

With the campaign-ing for local elections in full gear, there have been some unpleasant surpris-es.
Two of the candidates for Tipton County Court Clerk, Darlene Wheeler and Casey Fletcher, have reported theft of several hundred of their cam-paign signs.
Wheeler reported that close to 150 of her signs, all of which have been pre-approved to be placed according to her, have noticeably gone missing. Fletcher has also reported having the same problem. Places where his signs are docu-mented to be are simply not there.
Wheeler said that she plans on filing a police report about the incident due to the large num-ber missing. However, Fletcher does not plan on reporting the crime citing the difficulty it would take law enforcement to actually catch the perpe-trators.
“We go to a lot of time and a lot of effort to put these signs up,” said Wheeler. “I don’t think people realize the effort

COVINGTON – The Covington police department is fighting crime with a new weap-on: a cash for crime tips line.
The measure comes as a means to provide a safer community environment and make enforcing laws more efficient, said police chief Bennie Carver.
“It’s up to us how efficient crime reduc-tion will be,” he said. “Someone other than the person committing the crime is always aware of the criminal act.”
By offering a reward for tips, police and city officials are hoping to encourage residents to report crimes and any information they have
relating to criminal activity.
Carver hopes the tipline will be an effec-tive weapon against crime in Covington, which has the highest crime rate in the coun-ty.
“If the people of the city are willing to give detailed informa-tion on crimes related to unlawful gun pos-session, gang activities, drug activities, burglar-ies, robberies and any other criminal acts, we can successfully reduce the crime rate in Covington,” he said.
Carver said creat-ing a productive city is one goal of the police department and with the help of concerned citizens, the impact of law enforcement can be more effective.
A reduced crime rate
may also attract other businesses, industry and educational institu-tions.
He also wants to cre-ate a crime-free setting for Covington’s chil-dren.
“It is our job to create a worry-free environ-ment for our children to grow up without the concerns of being assaulted on the streets of our city,” he said.
Persons with infor-mation on criminal acts in Covington are asked to call 901-476-9036. Rewards may be paid for information leading to the arrests and con-victions.
Callers may remain anonymous and are not required to testify in court. Please leave a code name and contact information.

that (candidates) put into getting these out.”
Fletcher’s wife and campaign aide, Amanda, stated that 500 of the smallest yard signs cost around $1,100. The larg-er signs are much more. Neither Wheeler nor Fletcher assigned blame to who or what they thought was responsible for the missing signs. However both hope that whatever is the cause is stopped, and if it is a per-son or persons, that they are punished accord-ingly.
Stealing or even mov-ing the location of cam-paign signs is against the law, unless they are dis-approvingly placed on private property. Theft of the signs is criminal and can be punishable with jail time of up to one year and a fine.
District Attorney Mike Dunavant said anyone caught moving or steal-ing these placards will be punished and encour-
aged people not to take doing so lightly.
“Unfortunately, this happens every election year,” said Dunavant. “However, I hope this gets reported and it will be treated like any other crime. Because it is theft. We strongly encourage people not to steal these signs.”
Other candidates in the county clerk race, Mary Gaither and Pamela Dean, have not reported mass amounts of cam-paign signs missing. However, Gaither noticed many of hers knocked down from the May 1 floodwaters and the gen-eral bad weather. She has documented where her signs are located and the ones knocked down have been replaced. She stated that originally she had many signs with long wire stands, but they were not holding up in the weather. Therefore, she replaced these with shorter stands, which make the signs lower to the ground and bet-
ter able to withstand weather and other deter-rents. She does not report any known theft of large numbers of signs but expressed sympathy about her opponents’ troubles.
“It is very unfortunate,” said Gaither. “These signs are expensive. I have had to replace several, but I believe it is mostly due to the flood waters and weather.”
A fourth candidate for court clerk, Pamela Dean, was unavailable for com-ment.
The other three candi-dates said they under-stand that many people do not comprehend the seriousness of taking elec-tion signs and acknowl-edged that removing the signs is often the result of pranks and youthful joyrides in the county. However, with over sev-eral hundred missing, Wheeler decided that the crime must be formerly reported. She stated that she planned on reporting the theft to law enforce-
ment on May 18, but had not done so yet.
None of the candidates have reported their larg-est sized signs missing. It is mostly the small yard signs. Each candi-date had documentation of where the signs were place and all stated they had been pre-approved.
Fletcher expressed that if someone witnesses anyone taking down signs or knocking them over, that they report it to authorities.
“I have permission on where I put up all my signs,” said Fletcher. “So if someone doesn’t want a sign on their property for whatever reason, they can take them down. I’d rather have their vote than a sign in their yard any day. But there are too many missing to just not say anything. It should be reported if someone is caught doing this.”
The Tipton County Court Clerk election will be held on August 5 along with the state primary races.

BRIGHTON – While mow-ing the grassy hill on the side of Highway 51 Monday morn-ing, a Tennessee Department of Transportation worker found a backpack in a ditch.
Checking its contents, he found something surprising: a meth lab in the making.
“The only thing not in there was pseudoephedrine,” said Brighton Police Chief Mike Durham. “The
TDOT worker found it, looked inside and called us once he saw what it was.”
Found in the ditch north of the intersection of Hwy. 51 and Woodlawn Ave., the backpack con-tained many of the chemicals com-monly associated with the manu-facture of methamphetamine, a set of scales and a mask to protect the nasal passages and mouth of the person who was making the highly addictive drug.
Durham said this was the sec-ond incident of this type in the
last month and a half and the third meth lab they’ve found in the same period of time.
“You don’t usually find that here in Brighton,” he said. “The meth presence is increasing around here.”
Durham said in the year he’s been police chief, there have been no meth labs found within city limits.
Monday’s incident – and the prior incident involving a back-pack containing chemicals – is still under investigation.

Federal help now available
By ECHO [email protected]
COVINGTON – Last Friday, a disaster recovery center was opened in Tipton County, bring federal assistance to the county’s flood victims.
Located inside the National Guard Armory, the center houses disaster recovery specialists who will be able to answer questions about applica-tions and review information needed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to process the application.
The assistance FEMA provides is a qualifying grant, not charity, said spokesperson Rita Egan.
“We’re here to offer a helping hand,” she said. “We’re here to help you get back on your feet, not to make you whole.”
The level of assistance is different for each indi-vidual case, but Egan encourages those affected by the flooding to at least apply for assistance.
“There’s no cut and dry answer,” she said. “But when in doubt, make that call and give us the opportunity to help you.”
Additionally, representatives from the Small Business Administration (SBA) are on-hand to answer questions about the low-interest disaster loan program for homeowners, renters, businesses and private non-profit organizations of all sizes.
Loans are available to assist with costs associ-ated with the repair or replacement of real estate and personal property damaged by the storms and flooding.
“We have already helped 30 businesses and homes in the state with over $750,000,” said Kevin Wynne, an SBA communications specialist. “The amount will blossom from there, these are just early numbers.”
All disaster recovery centers are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. seven days a week until further notice.
Disaster officials suggest victims register prior to visiting a DRC. This may be done online at www.disasterassistance.gov or by calling 1-800-621-FEMA (3362).
Food stamps, cash assistanceLast week, officials with the Tennessee Dept. of
Human Services announced a federal Food Stamp disaster program to serve individuals and house-holds affected by the May Day flood.
The program was implemented to address some of the basic immediate needs of the low-income families affected.
Approved by the USDA, the program is avail-able to households meeting the following criteria:
• Reside in a county that has been designated as a federal disaster area

Saving a life
Dear editor, It was the morning of May 1,
2010. My family and I came in the
night before from vacation in New Orleans.
We did not make it in time to pick up our family pert, Sassy Sue, at the kennel. So I got up in time to pick her up at 8 a.m. that Satur-day morning. I didnít turn on the television or radio but it was rain-ing when I left the house. The road seems okay as I crossed the bridge from my home. The water was over the road but I could still see the lines and the next thin I knew I was swept away by the water. I thought to myself, îI need to put my window down and turn off the car.î
I called my husband and told him what had happened as I was up in some trees so you could not really see me. I thought I was in the ditch but I was over the ditch and the trees were holding me from the field behind me where the wa-ter was over my car. My husband could not get to me and had to go back, so I called 911.
I sat in murky water for over two hours. Debris was piling up on my right side and water was rushing passed my open window like a mighty river. I was praying with my sister on the phone. I really thought this was it.
As I looked up there was this angel named Mr. James Sisson, lovingly known as ìSiscoî walking down the middle of the street.
I began honking my horn until he finally saw me and asked if I was all right and he said he would be back. At that moment my hope had began to come back and a few minutes later he came back with two young men whose names I do not know. They all were truly an-gels that day in saving my life.
I want to thank these three men from the bottom of my heart for saving me that day.

Socialism is anti-God?
Dear editor, “Socialism is anti-God.”This is what was written on a
church’s marquee in a very busy area of Tipton County. While this was written several weeks or even months ago and has since been taken down, I think about this statement each time I pass the church, which happens to be every day.
I won’t waste time with a long drawn out definition of what socialism is, because everybody can make the definition fit their own purposes, and actually I have
grown very tired of hearing the word thrown around.
I won’t even attempt to defend the president who is believed to be leading us into this “socialist era,” according to many. But my biggest problem is that these “Christians” believe that this is ANTI-GOD. What a bold statement to make!
The Bible makes it clear what God hates and while I don’t read my Bible every day like I should, I don’t remember seeing such a statement about socialism (of all things). There’s probably a verse of scripture that can be interpreted in such a way to support this state-ment, but scripture can be inter-preted to mean a variety of things that it was never meant to mean. I was always taught that one should pray and rely on the Holy Spirit to lead you through the scriptures and give you clarity on its mean-ing.
I am disappointed at the posi-tion that this church and others are taking in this whole political mess. God tells us to put our trust in Him, not in the president, gover-nor, mayor, or any elected official. Christians should by all means exercise the right to vote for those who share our values, but we shouldn’t get so wrapped up in politics that we forget our pur-pose.
We are to be about our Father’s business, not about the business of judging the world according to our own interpretations of the Bible. The question I have for this church is what was the purpose of that message? Was it to save souls or encourage those who are already saved (which is what churches are supposed to be doing), or was it to condemn those who do not have the same political beliefs as the church’s members?

Teenagers are not the only problem
Dear editor,All too often we hear stories
about how our teenagers are driv-ing. Yes, there is certainly room for improvement as is evident by the number of auto-accident related teenage deaths in our county. However, I would like to point out that teenagers are not the only problem.
On April 29, my son and I were going to Brighton High School. He was driving. He turned on to Portersville and a vehicle turned right in behind him. This vehicle tailgated him all the way down Portersville, continued to tailgate him down Old Hwy 51, across Hwy. 51 and all the way to the band hall at Brighton High.
My son commented to me about how nervous he was. I instructed him to just continue doing the
speed limit. What helped make this situation so bad was that the person tailgating my son and mak-ing him so nervous was in fact a teacher. She had no regard for the safety of herself or her daughter in the car with her nor me and my son in front of her. Thankfully, I was in the car with him to keep him calm but what if I had not been?
Our teenagers are struggling with driving as it is and they do not need anyone, especially a teacher, creating hazardous driv-ing conditions for them. Teachers are supposed to lead by example both in the classroom and outside the classroom.
Next time, I will not be so nice about it. I am so thankful that she did not hit us and no one got hurt. I am also thankful he does not want to drive to school. He says he is fine with riding the bus. Thank GOD!

Derby a successful fundraiser
D e a r e d i t o r , Red and black to purple and gold just got a little closer for Crestview Middle School. The demolition derby was a huge success! We had 24 cars show up form several dif-ferent states and we raised $3,900. This is amazing! But it wouldn’t be possible with-out the help from some outstand-ing people in this community. Thank you Scott McBroom with Compact Chaos for all your help. You guys put on a show to remem-ber. Brandon McCommon and Chad Russell went above and beyond the call of duty. I made one phone call and they were there for me. They don’t have children in the school system but they spent two days on the dirt work before and after the derby. That’s the true meaning of friendship and com-mitment. Thank you for every-thing, Brandon and Chad. Thank you to all the spectators that came out to support this event. We had several businesses make donations and without these busi-nesses we wouldn’t have meet our goal or been able to give out door prizes.

Readers' Views
Do you remember when each small community had a personal school? Many times the grammar school and church bonded and glued the neighborhood. If some of the Southern Country towns war-ranted a store, gin or possibly a Post Office, they felt as though they were the big Hampshire or Duroc at the hog trough.
As you mature, which sounds better than ‘you git-tin’ older’, I reckon we tend to forget the bad and mostly recollect the good times. Just ask a former classmate about the teachers? Yep, still today Phil, Emerson, Paul and Lynn will admit, “yeah, they were injured wildcat mean, but fair.” I remember my ‘whoop-ins’ and I guess I had them coming. But, famous last words remain, “they always caught me and let the guilty culprit slide by, slick axle-greasy.” Teacher’s pet!
Friends, can you remember the infamous crack in the walk-way there when your parents attended school? Why hadn’t someone fixed it! On second thought, I’m glad it wasn’t repaired, because our reminiscing conversations bring up the old crack of five century years. Probably at one time or ’nuther the entire school population had tripped, stumbled or ripped due to the small gully crack. A hallowed and historic landmark.
But I reckon that ain’t too bad. We rednecks are accused of being slow at everything we do. However ’em Northerners had have a big old din-ner bell cracked for over two hundred years in Philadelphia. (which I think is located a few coun-try miles the other side of Beaver Creek) No one has taken the Liberty to fix the crack and I’ll bet the clapper don’t work neither. And they call us Dixie rednecks slow.
Did you ever wonder how many times some-one fell from the twisted, rusty, swaying monkey bars, hitting the dirt and gravel while showing off? Even the little gals would jump up, dust off and swear, “I’m O.K.”, when they ‘skinned the cat’ and landed on their noggins. If bones were

Thousand-year rainMiddle and West Tennessee
have been hit with what Army Corps of Engineers officials tell us is a thousand-year rain event—in a thousand years, we wouldn't expect to have this much rain—and it is pro-viding enormous hardship across much of our state.
Nashville has gotten the most attention from the nation-al media, but it isn’t the only city in Tennessee to be devas-tated. For example, Water Street and other parts of downtown Clarksville were badly flooded, Millington was heavily dam-aged and the mayor of Dyersburg has estimated over $9.5 million in damage to that city. Governor Bredesen says that 52 Tennessee counties are impacted and President Obama has already desig-nated 27 of those counties as federal disaster areas. I expect other counties will be added to the presi-dent’s list soon.
On Tuesday, May 4, I toured some of the flood devastation in Nashville. On Friday, May 7, I did the same in Clarksville. My thoughts and prayers are with those whose lives have been lost or other-wise devastated by the storm and the flooding that followed.
I congratulate Governor Bredesen, Mayor Dean in Nashville, and community leaders across the state for doing a first rate job in getting an applica-tion together for disaster assistance and getting it to the president, and I thank the president for act-ing quickly. I was glad to help in that process.
This is a major event. The Opryland Hotel—one of the biggest hotels anywhere in America—has had to empty itself, and 1,500 of its residents were forced to stay in a high school. We are told it may be several months before the Opryland Hotel is able to function again. We hope not because its tax revenues provide about 25 percent of all the hotel-motel tax revenues for Davidson County, and that would come at a difficult time.
Tennessee has come through tough times before, and, together we’ll make it through this, too. A number of displaced Tennesseans were invited to join me and others last Tuesday night at the Grand Ole Opry – which was flooded and moved to War Memorial Auditorium for the evening – to let the world know that the music is still playing in Nashville.

sticking out of legs and arms, that didn’t count. Naww Suhhh.
Neighbor, do you remember who broke out the back glass of the ’rithmetic room with the friction-taped hardball? Back ’en, amnesia seeped in. How many tree swingers did it take to twist the smoke-house chains on the double back doors of the gym or who was the littlest (that’s Southernese for a runt-ed Bo’ weevil) to crawl through the backside win-dow to sneak in and play ball when no one was allowed? Supposedly everyone hated to go to school, but somehow the group would congregate at the (despised) school.
Since we were in the building anyway, didja’ ‘figger’ out why the urge hit you to ease up to home room and squall at the top of your lungs like a pan-ther shot with hot frying grease? You craved that many times and it sho’ felt good to release all that pent up tension! Not during school or our princi-pal, Mrs. Cason or Mrs. Ricks would march the entire congregation to the cloakroom for ??? During some dark illegal entries, like a graduated badge Boy Scout, Don, Rabbit and I would sit on the front row in our home room. Why? The comfort without a desk in front of you to kick or knee someone.
My fellow Southern Americans, we are told, supposedly by high brow intellectuals, that change is good. But, consolidation has taken away this hometown, caring atmosphere. Why would folks want to make a big school out of a raft of small ones? Could the bottom line be money? The old School at Charleston, that Momma attended through the tenth grade, is no longer. The grammar school at Arlington has disappeared. Who dismantled the historic school at Cuba? What happened to the community school at Lucy? Things change for the better, so say our illustrious Soothsayers. Most of us ‘pore’ old redneck, Southern hicks ain’t as smart as we’d like to be. However, we ain’t as dumb, as some of those city slickers think we is either. I’ve got my Old Rosemark Grammar School Memories and You got yo’ new schools…GLORY!

types of products mostly relat-ing to hunting and shooting sport-ing events. Tickets at the event were $30 each and the grand door prize was a DPMS Panther Sportical .223 AR-15 Rifle donated by the Highway 51 Pawn Shop.
The proceeds for the event are given towards firearm safety train-ing, hunter safety training pro-grams, range development and youth, conservation and Second Amendment education. Mostly the money is raised for gun safety and training programs for youth.
A check was given to Tipton County Sheriff’s Office for $2,650 for an Eddie Eagle Gunsafe Program at the banquet from the NRA foundation grant. , which was funded by the Friends of the NRA. The Eddie Eagle Program is a gun safety program for youth
that many law enforcement agen-cies teach around the country. The check went specifically to the mas-cot costume of Eddie Eagle. The TCSO plans on implementing this in the local school system with this donation.
Another check for $3,200 was accepted by retired Covington High School teacher Ted Turner who now serves as the coach of the Tipton County 4-H Club’s trap shooting team. This grant was for trap throwing machines and equipment for the squad that is taking part in a national competi-tion in the upcoming summer months.
The first Tipton County Friends of the NRA banquet was held in October 2006 and raised $2,600 with only 94 people attending. Membership and participation has grown rapidly over the years as gun safety for youth has become more apparent.
“Gun safety for the kids and youth training is what we do this for,” said Evitt. “Every dime we raise is for youth shooting pro-grams or things of that nature, such as the Eddie Eagle suit. That is what is most important, after all.”
Over the past five years, the Friends of the NRA in Tipton County have raise over $20,000 for the Brighton youth shooting team, Tipton County Sheriff ’s Department, Foreign Legion Youth Shooting Team ,4-H Shooting team and other like-minded organiza-tions.
The Friends of the NRA is a local, grassroots program conduct-ed by local volunteers to raise funds for the NRA Foundation through banquets, auctions, shoots, golf-tournaments and other fundraisers and to provide a local gathering for local NRA members.

All who are blessed have God to thankBy Pastor B.J. Maxwell
By now many of you have fin-ished reading Genesis in your annual Bible-reading plan. There are new details and questions each year but one thing remains con-stant. God ordains every detail of history to serve his appointed end: the display of his grace to his people through Jesus Christ.
Either God got lucky for twelve thousand years (or five billion years depending on your scien-tific presuppositions and which only makes God’s sovereignty even more remarkable), reacting perfectly to all human decision so that Jesus was born at the right time. Or, God has orchestrated all of human history—favoring one person rather than another, allowing this and not that event, preserving one life rather than the ten next to it—to prove he alone is God and will get all glory for the salvation of any one man.
A pedestrian phrase arrested me this year in Genesis 11: “and he had other sons and daughters” (used eight times in vv10-25). Genesis 11.10-30 concerns itself with Noah’s son Shem. Shem’s lin-eage begins with Arpachshad and ends with Abram. But accord-ing to v11 Shem “had other sons and daughters.” Why single out Arpachshad then? Why not one of Shem’s other sons? Of all his “other sons and daughter” is Arpachshad immortalized in Scripture while his brothers and sisters are lost to history?
Arpachshad fathered Shelah at 35 but over the next 403 years Shelah “had other sons and daughters” (v15). They too are lost to history while only Shelah was preserved in the biblical wit-ness. And so goes Shem’s line, getting more specific until the spotlight shines on one man: his great-something-or-other-grand-son Abram. All along every-one was having “other sons and
daughters.”With literary brilliance the
author stops us dead in our tracks. He ended each generational itera-tion naming one son who “had other sons and daughters.” When he gets to Terah, however, he men-tioned his three (not one) sons: Abram, Nahor II and Haran (v26). Haran died (v27) thus ending his line, leaving Abram and Nahor to continue whatever God started with Arpachshad. Abram mar-ried Sarai and Nahor wed Milcah (v29). We’re left in suspense as to which son would carry on the legacy.
In v30 we read with amaze-ment: “Sarai was barren; she had no child.” In a chapter carried along by the rhythm of fertility—each stanza refrained “and he had other sons and daughters”—we hear this crescendo of barrenness.
Naturally then we should expect Nahor to continue Shem’s line of God’s favor. But he doesn’t. Whatever God was doing through the line of Shem would go through Abram, husband of post-meno-pausal Barren Sarah, not Nahor, husband of Fertile Milcah.
This makes little to no sense unless God has sovereignly ordained the most minute details of history—even which person will inherit his favor despite all other impossibilities—to serve his good and wise purposes. Biblical history testifies there were always “other sons and daughters” seem-ingly more fit for God’s purpos-es, but God regularly chose the impossible misfit.
This is true of all who believe the gospel of Jesus Christ. Why do you love Christ and not your brother who grew up in the same house? Why do you believe the gospel rather than your sis-ter who sat beside you in the same pew every Sunday? Why do you repent from sin and not your neighbor who is twice as charitable? Among all the better
people in the world who have seemingly done far less to offend God, why would God favor you and not them? Did God simply get lucky when you repented and believed?
We are left with only one answer: “So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy” (Rom 9.16).
All genealogies of Scripture are a piece of one heritage: our Heavenly Father’s only begot-ten Son with many siblings “who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God” (Jn 1.13). God has ordained every human life so that every human being will one day confess the lordship of Jesus Christ (Rom 14.11; Phil 2.9). Some will do so as defeated enemies who have no recourse but to admit they were wrong about Jesus. Others will do so as redeemed siblings who have been conformed to the image of their older brother (Rom 8.29).
Whatever the case, of all the sons and daughters in all of his-tory there is only One Son who stands at the center of Scripture and history. All who are blessed with God’s favor through this Son have only God to thank.
As the gospel’s aroma wafts through heaven we will spend eternity confessing “For by grace [we] have been saved through faith; and that not of [ourselves], it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast” (Eph 2.8-9). Dead sinners can take no more credit for their eternal life than post-menopausal barren women and teenage virgins can for their pregnancies. And so goes the rhythm of sovereign grace.

The Tipton County Adult Developmental Center was recently given a new 12-passen-ger van by the Tipton County Commission.
On Friday May 14 the Center, located at 3373 Highway 59 West, had a dinner, reception and open house to show their thanks to the community. The organization and its recipients were then sur-prised by Tipton County Mayor Jeff Huffman and Covington Tipton County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Lee Johnston, who came driv-ing up with the pro-gram’s new van. County Commissioner Quincy Barlow was also present for the event.
Adult Developmental Instructor Donna Broom recalls how enthusiastic how everyone was to see their new mode of trans-portation.
“They were all so excit-ed to see it,” said Broom. “It is just wonderful that
someone thinks enough of them to help out. You should have seen their faces. They have been excited before, but I haven’t seen anything like this.”
There are 16 service recipients at the Center and 7 staff members. They plan on using the van for their day trips, community outings and other events they regu-larly attend.
The previous van lacked air conditioning and one was having transmission troubles.
The Tipton County Commission appropriat-ed $23,000 at its meeting on May 10, 2010 to pur-chase the van after Huffman and many members noticed the worn out conditions of the existing vans.
According to the Covington Chamber website, the Tipton County Adult Developmental Center in Covington serves men-tally handicapped adults ages twenty-two years and older with a training program to help them
become more self-suffi-cient. This program con-centrates on three areas. The cognitive area helps students in areas like counting money and reading. The socializa-tion area involves per-sonal hygiene and aspect of daily living like clean-ing a home. The prevoca-tional area teaches stu-dents job skills.
These students actually do paid contract work for businesses in the area. These classes are held Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.
The Helen R. Tucker Center in Ripley, Tennes-see operates the facility and provides funding for the Tipton County site as well as a site in Ripley and other counties in West Tennessee .The center is a non-profi t or-ganization that is also funded by the Depart-ment of Mental Health and Mental Retardation and from contributions by the County Court, Ro-tary and individuals. No tuition fee exists, but a
charge for optional daily transportation to and from the facility is paid on a monthly basis. This organization has been present for over 20 years.

Sheriff J.T. “Pancho Chumley announced today that the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office is seeking funding from the U.S. Department of Justice for a Byrne Grant to fund a cooper-ative program with Judge Joseph Walker and the 25th Judicial District Circuit Court to provide additional supervi-sory services for individuals on probation from that court. Target parolees are supervised by the Corrections Management Corporation case officers.
This is part of a larger ini-tiative by the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Advisory
Committee created by the Tipton County Board of Commissioners to develop and oversee improvements to the local justice system.
The project will enlist vol-unteer probationers who, in addition to weekly visits to their case officer, would also submit to additional random drug and other compliance screenings. Participants would regularly call a mes-sage machine that would indi-cate which sub-group was selected for that day’s screen-ing. Participants in a pilot project, developed by Judge Steven Alm of Hawaii’s First Circuit Court, have logged
several success milestones: Positive drug tests decreased 85percent, missed probation appointments went down 80percent, revocations of pro-bation dropped more than 50percent. It also utilizes aspects of a program in Miami that reported a 33percent reduction in re-arrests for graduates, and another in California that logged a cost savings to the legal system of $7 for every $1 spent on the program.
This process identifies and deals with individuals who need more intensive and cost-ly drug treatment while pro-viding more effective and less
costly supervision of the remainder.
Deputies will provide time-ly enforcement of parole viola-tors. In the words of Judge Walker, this project would provide a program of “drug testing with immediate conse-quences.”
This proposal, for $22,118.00, will provide overtime funding for deputies to assist parole officers in the drug screening, and to visit participants who are not able to get to the Tipton County Criminal Justice Complex, or who are no-shows. The grant will also provide funding for drug screening kits and for a dedi-
cated message machine.If you have any questions
about this new program or grant, you may contact Deputy Robert Beanblossom at 901-475-3300.
For additional information or questions please contact Public Information Officer, Chief Donna Turner [email protected]; (901) 475-3300, (901) 258-0993.

Several community members have answered a call and commit-ment from Tipton County black leaders to form the Concerned Committed Voters of Tipton County (CCV-TC).
The group’s main goal is to unify voters in "communities of color" throughout Tipton County
by providing accurate up-to date information on issues and exam-ine records of candidates run-ning for office. CCV-TC will help determine and explain how all of this benefits the black commu-nity in Tipton County.
This is the beginning of a bal-ancing force for lasting improve-
ments in our communities, said Olean Anderson, one of the group’s founders.
Others have committed, but could not be present until next month. The meeting will be held as often as necessary, but not less than monthly, in various loca-tions through out Tipton County.
CCV-TC formed to unify voters

Glenn P Zarecor Sr., County Executive Director of USDA’s Tipton County Farm Service Agency (FSA) reminds produc-ers that June 1, 2010, is the deadline for the 2010 Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) program or the traditional Direct and Counter-cyclical Program (DCP). This is a mandatory deadline for all participants and USDA will not accept any late-fi le ap-plications. Zarecor explained it is critical for producers to begin the enrollment pro-cess as soon as possible.
“Approximately less than 50 percent have been enrolled or approved in 2010 DCP/ACRE Programs,” Zarecor said. “At the current rate of enrollment, a signifi cant number of farms eligible for 2010 DCP/ACRE will not be enrolled by the June 1, 2010, deadline."
All signatures of producers receiving a share in DCP/ACRE payments are required by the June 1, 2010, deadline. It is impor-tant producers contact their local offi ce to
set up appointments well before the June 1, 2010 deadline. Farms that have been initi-ated will not be approved unless they meet the enrollment criteria by obtaining all re-quired signatures or cash rent certifi cation fi led by this deadline. Certain requirements must be met to fi le a cash rent certifi cation.
Producers are also reminded that spring seeded crops0 must be reported by July 15, 2010. This insures participants retain eligi-bility in many USDA programs and avoids costly late fi le penalties.
June 15, 2010 is the deadline to mail the 2009 and/or 2010 Consent to Disclosure of Tax Information to Internal Revenue Ser-vice. The CCC-927 which is fi led for an individual or CCC-928 is fi led for an entity has to be mailed to Internal Revenue Ser-vice P.O. Box 24033, Fresno CA. 93779.
For more information about these or any other program requirements please visit your local FSA county offi ce or visit www.fsa.usda.gov.
Important FSA deadlines announced
Confederate Memo-rial Day was a Tennessee legal holiday from 1889-1969. Today the State recognizes it as a “Spe-cial Day of Observance,” on June 3, the birthday of Confederate Presi-dent Jefferson Davis, a former resident of Mem-phis. This ceremony will honor the service and sacrifi ce of the soldiers of the War Between the States.
There are 217 Confed-erate and 7 Union sol-diers known to be buried in the cemetery. This cemetery was established in the 1850s.
The graves of these soldiers of the North and the South will be marked with U.S. and Confeder-ate fl ags. Following the memorial address, there will be a roll call of the Civil War Veterans bur-ied in the cemetery. Dur-ing the Roll Call, children and descendents of vet-erans will place fl ow-
ers on the fl ag-marked graves. A military salute will close the service.
The public is invited to attend. Attendees may want to bring lawn chairs for their convenience.
The ladies of the South inaugurated the custom of observing Confeder-ate Memorial Day ser-vices in 1866. Newspa-per accounts confi rm that this commemoration was being held at the R. H. Munford Cemetery as early as 1867, and by 1887, these services were being observed in nearly all the public cem-eteries throughout the county. In that year, the Ladies Confederate Me-morial Association was organized in Covington to formally conduct the ceremonies at Munford Cemetery.
The services were held under the auspices of the Baker Lemmon Chapter No. 251, United Daugh-ters of the Confederacy
in 1899. The soldiers of Joe Brown Camp No. 1148, United Confederate Veterans, took part in the ceremonies in uniform and fi ring a military sa-lute at the conclusion of the services.
In 1901, the James Al-exander Camp No. 257, Sons of Confederate Vet-erans was organized and they assisted the ladies in this effort.
During the 1920s, the American Legion Post No. 67 and their Ladies’ Auxiliary and the Boy Scouts began participat-ing in the annual ser-vices. Following World War II, members of Ray-Pinner Post No. 4840, Veterans of Foreign Wars joined in this effort. This annual commemoration has been sponsored by the Sons of Confeder-ate Veterans since 1976. Today, the members of Simonton-Wilcox Camp No. 257, Sons of Confed-erate Veterans carry on
the time-honored tradi-tion. On Sunday, May 30, the annual Confeder-ate Memorial Service will be held in R.H. Munford Cemetery at 2 p.m. The Honorable Tim Sloan will be speaking.
These services pay homage to the memory of American soldiers; they provide us an opportu-nity to learn more about our history, and will in-spire a greater sense of patriotism in our people. For more information call Russell Bailey at 901-476-3744.

Brighton Festival raises money for bandsBy TIFFANY [email protected]
The first Brighton Festival took place this Saturday, May 15, in the Brighton High School parking lot on Highway 51. It lasted from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and raised over $3,000 through the different vendors, booths, concession stands and activities.
Sporting yellow shirts, the event was organized by band boosters and band members of BHS and Brighton Middle School. Many people are planning
on the Brighton festival to be an annual event in order to support the students of the school and help out in their musical endeavors.
The school bands performed as well as the Memphis Trio band and Ready or Not. The dunk tank game was one of the biggest successes, since many school leaders volunteered their time to be dunked in the giant bucket of water. Many of the organizers of the event considered it a success and are planning on continuing the festival again next year.

Munford High Class of '50 reunites
It's graduation season yet again! Watch for the Class of 2010 graduation
publication on May 27, 2010.
Hi everyone, Maybe the sunshine
will come out to stay soon. Charlie has gotten some good use out of his new mower. Thank good-ness he got it all done be-tween the rains. Sherri and David, my daugh-ter and son-in-law who live next door, have such deep ruts in their yard from the flooding water, they will have to get dirt fill-ins before they can get the lower part of their yard cut. It is so devastat-ing to see so many homes along the road that have lost all their personal be-longings.
We in Almyra had a very successful Neigh-borhood Watch program
last Thursday evening at the Three Star Fire De-partment. I would per-sonally like to thank Chief John Piercy for giv-ing us the opportunity to use the Three Star loca-tion. Our next meeting will be on Thursday, Aug. 5. I will be reminding you all again as time gets clos-er. Thanks to the many neighbors who took the time to get involved, it’s a very worthy program. A very special thanks to Sheriff Pancho Chumley and retired officer Charles Yoakum for sharing with us these important facts of a neighborhood watch. Our community has the opportunity to purchase extra street signs. We will
be given only two for the community. If you would like a street sign on your street or in your neigh-borhood, you can contact me at 901-476-1718 or Ju-dy Dunaway at 901-476-4519. It will take approxi-mately 6-8 weeks for the signs to be received after the initial order.
In closing, I would like to share a funny story. My sister, Jackie Hicks, invit-ed me to the Al Chymia Shrine Ladies Luncheon; it was in honor of their first lady Peggy Reviere. For entertainment, they had The Boomers; this program was all about the ‘50s and ‘60s. The theme was, “You’re nev-er too old to rock ‘n’ roll.” I was not aware we were to wear the ‘50s poodle skirts and crinoline slips. I wish I still had mine. Buy anyway, the Boomer
singers were all dressed like Elvis.
Somehow she had pre-arranged to have me brought down on stage for The Boomers to sing to me. I was so shocked when they called my name. I have to admit, it was a fun experience. One of the Elvis imper-sonators had a huge head of hair. I told him in my years of hairdressing I had done many hairdos that high or higher. I will be challenged now to find a way to get even with my little “sis.” The chairman of this event is a friend of mine and Jackie’s, Miss Gladys Brimhall, and co-chairman Ida Scott of Covington is also a friend. There were many other Tipton County la-dies there as well.
Have a great week, ev-eryone.
Hello one more time from Burlison.
My very good friend and co-worker, Johnny Chambers was involved in a motorcycle accident a few weeks ago. Thank the Lord for listening to prayer because Johnny is doing much better now. He is out of the Med and at home recuperating. Johnny has a request that he would like for me to include in the Burlison article this week. His accident happened this way:
Johnny was riding his motorcycle on McCormic Road around 6:00 pm on Monday, 05/03/2010 when he came upon a pot hole in the road that he plainly did not see. He hit the pot hole and wrecked his motorcycle. Johnny says that he can’t remember everything that happened, but he
does remember trying to stand up a couple of times and that there was a lady there asking him to remain lying down and that she had called 911. Johnny would like to know who this Good Samaritan is so he could thank her personally for the help she extended to him the day of the acci-dent. So if you’re read-ing this and you are that person or you know that person, please get in touch with me so I can pass the information on to Johnny.
I was told by several people that the last Burli-son City Council meeting didn’t go very smooth. I wasn’t there personally due to a prior commit-ment and I won’t go into everything that I was told transpired, but I do have an announcement I was asked to include in
this article.Our Mayor, Mr. Frank
Tyler has informed me that going forward he is the contact person for reservation of the Burli-son Community Center. You can reach Mayor Tyler at home by calling 901-475-0523 or his cell number is 901-299-8312.
The issue of charging Burlison citizens for use of the Community Center is still on the back burner as to my understanding it was never discussed by the City Council at last week’s meeting. That being said, if you were going to contact the Council Members or attend the last meeting to make your opinions known on that issue, it’s not too late.
Please continue to keep the Connell family in your prayers. There was a fundraiser held for the family this past Sunday at the Community Cen-ter that was headed up by Laurie Childress. I’m pleased to say that there
was a very good turn out and Laurie and the other people involved in the fundraiser would like to thank everyone for their donations and would like to send a special thank you to Elm Grove Church of Christ and our Mayor Mr. Tyler and his Sunday school class at Garland Baptist.
According to what I hear the success of this fund raiser would not be what it was with-out the help of Lau-rie’s employer, Draingo Plumbing located on Highway 14 next to Fast Times. Another fundraiser will be held at The Historic Ruffin The-ater on Friday, May 21 at 7:30 pm. Thanks to all who are helping Teresa and her family.
Last week, my Super-visor Ricky Gray and I attended a luncheon in Jackson where T.A.U.D. was hosting a contest for the best tasting water in the region of West Ten-nessee. I’m very proud
to say that First Utility won first place. The wa-ter was judged according to clarity, smell and taste. A sample of First Util-ity‘s water will be going to compete at the state level at Murfreesboro in June. Wish us luck!
On Sunday afternoon, my buddy Stanley Law-rence came to visit. While he was here, as always we were discussing cur-rent events, government, school systems and all the problems of this world that we live in.
One topic of conversa-tion was the oil rig that explosion in the Gulf of Mexico and all the things that BP has being try-ing to do to get the spill cleaned up and stop the rig from spewing oil.
Stanley said, “Why don’t they just take a long pipe and insert it into the pipe on the rig and si-phon it to a tanker.”
The next morning, I
was watching the news and lo and behold, that’s exactly what they were doing. Sometimes old country boys have more intelligence than we’re given credit for.
Paula wants to add belated Happy Birthday wishes to her brother Charles (Bubba) Murray who celebrated his birth-day on Sunday, May 16th and send birthday wishes to her youngest brother, Ronald Murray who will be celebrating his birthday on Saturday May 22. Lucas Kellum will also be celebrating his first birthday on May 22.
Again, if you would like to include informa-tion in future articles please call 476-2683 or email me at [email protected]
Until next time, God bless and have a great week.

Dear readers, I’m writing to you to-
day from Girden, Ark. Lillian and I went on Sat-urday to Lake Charles, La. to spend a couple of days with my sister-in-law, Helen Taylor. We re-ally enjoyed her and the
visit. We left there, came up through Louisiana and Arkansas.
We had good weather and we found a restau-rant in Shreveport where I got a plate of oysters – and they were delicious.
I called home and
found all to be well and I hope to get home by Thursday.
I was sorry to hear of the death of Faye Willis before we left Atoka.
Now to prayer group: Pat Lloyd, Jewell Forbess, Kay Regis, Rodney Waits, Brice Fite, Billy Lump-kin, Mavis Lumpkin, Katie Burke, Carolyn Max, Hunter Box, Avery Burke, Ron Miller, Luke
Kidwell, Jo Billings, Lib Slough, Bill Parker, Pol-ly Branch, Clyde Curry, June Glass, David Kemp, Doug Carter, Amy Novac and Gary Welsch.
Five CHS tennis play-ers made it to the regional round of the playoffs in 2010, but no one will move on this season as the lone singles player. Rhett Watson fell to Katie McCall of Greenfield in the semi-finals, 0-6, 0-6.
William Eaves and Da-vid McCullough downed Holder and Miller of Huntingdon in the semi-finals in doubles play and had it going in the finals before falling to Eric Sell-ari and Taylor Dedmon from Haywood in a 3 set tie breaker 1-6, 6-4, 6-6 (7-1) for the right to go to
Murfreesboro.In ladies doubles, Libby
Long and Rachel Nance also won their initial re-gional match defeating Stinson and Hernandez of Milan 6-0, 6-3. The two seniors fell in the final, 0-6, 1-6, to Porter & Rob-inson of Greenfield.
“ I am proud of the progress made by the team this season,” said CHS coach Eva Dale Wil-liams. “The bar has been set high for future teams. We tasted post-season play and want more in the future. It has been a blast.”

Hope all of you are do-ing well now that we are heading towards the end of May. Talk about May and April being confused, I think it should have read April flowers brought on May showers. I’m begin-ning to think we are in a monsoon cycle. However I’m far from complaining about the temperatures. They are terrific.
The citizens of our community thank all the hard work the public works department has been doing. These work-ers have put in some long hours and a scarce day off. Our roads are
still being evaluated and repaired. So when you run into a T.C.P.W. em-ployee give them a hand shake and thank you for all their efforts.
Crestview Middle School’s fundraiser this past Saturday night was a blast. Scott McBroom organized the Compact Car Demolition Derby. Jim’s Towing sponsored the event. This was the first time for this small car derby in Covington. Neal also volunteered his truck and tractor. You missed it if you didn’t go. There were competitors from all over.
Our birthday list in-cludes on the 25th, Cor-wyn Cullum and Raye Devitt; on the 27th, Matt and Michael Hedgepeth. Corwyn, Matt, and Mi-chael are all nephews. I can truly say Ms. Liz (my mother-in-law) really was able to keep up on the birthdays. It is really hard to keep it straight the larger the family grows.
Our prayers go out to the Pate, Yon, and McDi-vitt families. Also includ-ed in our list are Rebena Atteberry, Keith McCler-kin, Phyllis McIntosh, Aunt Francis Moore, and Verna Lou Timbs.
A funny about my sweet hubby... Neal was going to do me a big fa-vor and clean my car.
My car is an SUV with a retractable back roof. So he goes to Fastimes and goes through the auto-matic wash. Neal has al-ways been fascinated by all the gadgets in the car, however he doesn’t see as well as he once did. He needs readers that of course he didn’t have at the time. There are three buttons above my rear view mirror and he just decided to press them. Well the next thing you know he has retracted the roof. Panicked, I’m sure, he lets the back window down and climbs to the back of the car. He finds and umbrella and covers the back of the car and himself with the umbrel-la until the wash is over.
Yes, my back still got wet but what I wouldn’t have given to have a picture of that. Where is my camera when these things hap-pen? That would have been a Funniest Home Video winner for sure.
I learned of three facts this week. First was that Lena Horne was 92 and passed away last week. Second, the jukebox was called a nickelodeon at one time because it took a nickle to play your mu-sic. And third, for our water feature enthusi-asts, Mark Fuller designs fountains and not just or-dinary fountains. If any of you have been to Las Vegas you know about the fountains. They are breath taking. He built
his first fountain when he was 9 years old out in his family’s Utah garden. Now they are works of art. Some of his designs are from the EpCot Cen-ter, Lincoln Center, Bela-gio Hotel in Las Vegas. He mixes music, fire, lights, ice, and air with the water. His next proj-ect is in the new mall in Las Vegas. His largest fountain display is in the Middle East. It was a very good report on this artist on a medium quiet extraordinary.
Thanks so much for keeping up in the column with me. I appreciate all of you for taking time to read mine and all the other weekly notes. Love to you all, Debe
Another wet weekend, after all it’s been this way since it’s Memphis in May time. I don’t know why someone doesn’t change this event to “Memphis in Summer” and hold it in July or Au-gust? That’s be one sure way there won’t be that much rain, if any. All in all, the spring people en-joy themselves in mud and all.
Aunt Willie May Bur-ton is still being spoiled by her children and her husband Isiah Sr. while she’s recovering from her recent bout of sick-ness. She’s back home af-ter a short hospital stay. Daughters Debra Mar-shall and Freda Hunter and daughter-in-laws Joann Burton and Cal-lie Burton have been “round-the-clock” nurs-
es; same with her sons, Tyrone, Thomas and Ed-win. With all of this TLC, Willie Mae’s sure to get better fast!
Jamestown’s Com-munity Health Organi-zation is still collecting yearly dues, which are $24. These funds are badly needed toward the upkeep of our Dick-ens Cemetery as well as our college scholarship fund. Contacts are Jessie Cooke, Joanna Bell, Pam Springfi eld, Minister Pearl Andrews or Willie Mae Burton.
President Mary Burton and acting teacher Janet Mosley are still quite busy on Monday eve-nings at 5 p.m. with mis-sionary meetings. Janet’s doing great fi lling in for teacher Willie Mae while she’s out and ill.

Happy sixteenth birth-day to my oldest grand-daughter, Kelli Reed, only daughter of my old-est son Kelly Reed who now lives in Los Ange-les, Calif., on May 20. Other birthdays are La-Var Burns (May 21); Toni Scott (May 22); James C. Harber, Otella Hudson and Fallon Cobbs (May 23) and to you if yours is at this time! Happy anni-versary to Mr. and Mrs. Glenn (Pam) Springfi eld and also to Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Kelly on May 22.
Okay, you Sherill fam-ily members, Memorial Day’s almost here and all family that lives out of town now are packing! So you need to get off the can and make those
contacts with “Mommy Lay,” a.k.a. LaRue Al-britton, Joann Bell, Glo-dine Davis, Tamara King and Pearl Andrews. There will be three pure days of family fun: Fri-day will be the meet and greet, Saturday a picnic on the beautiful front lawn of Cornell and Rev. Pink Sherrill Jr. in Jame-stown and ending with a spirit-fi lled service on Sunday morning at Bright Hill, which is the family church. The Rev. S.P. Cole and First Lady Wilada are waiting for you all to come!
The time our prayers are with the Sherfi eld family of Mason. Ant-wan, a son of the family, lost their beloved father. Palmer Funeral Home of Mason was in charge of his services. Antwan is a good friend of our fam-ily. Erecia and John Jones Sr., JaCinta Annette Bur-ton, Tyler and John Jones Jr. of Jamestown.
On last week, the Jolly Corteria ladies, along with their president, LaRue Albritton, met in the lovely home of John and JaCinta Jones of Jamestown. Host-ess for this month was Annette Burton, also of the home. Annette set a lovely summer table of tuna salad and garden salad with a cracker as-sortment, assorted nuts and chips, cookies, fruit punch and assorted soda. Present were Mary Burton, Katarene Harber, Joann Bell, Gloria Sherill and President LaRue Al-britton. The meeting was at 2 p.m. on Friday, May 14.
My thought for the week wasn’t included in last week’s column; I sent it in, however there was an oversight. Not a worry, here we go again, “A successful day begins with a good frame of mind.”
Until next time …
It’s a cool, cloudy Tuesday morning on the mountain. We got about 8/10 of an inch of rain over the weekend and rain is forecast again Thursday and Friday.
This week’s Farm Re-port: Our beans we got planted between rains are up and growing but I doubt we will get any planted this week; by the time it dries out it will rain again. Wheat is head-ing out and corn is getting tall enough to wave in the breeze. I don’t know if any cotton has been planted yet - haven’t seen any up yet.
Saturday James and I drove to Germantown to celebrate his Uncle Gilbert Watkins’ 90th birthday! The party was hosted by his three children, Barba-ra Thomason, Julie Price and Dale Watkins.
Larry and Mary Joyce Coughlan and George and Paulette Watkins also attended, representing his late brother, Ernest’s, family well. A special sur-prise was the arrival of Gilbert’s brother, Charles, and his wife, Shirley, of Covington, La.
The beautiful home was packed with grandchil-dren, nieces and nephews, and fellow church-goers of Gilbert. Barbeque, beans, slaw, potato salad, chips and veggies and dip and pecan muffins filled the table in the din-ing room and a beautiful, very large, sheet cake was on a table between the dining room and formal living room. A lot of folks joined in singing “Happy Birthday” to him.
Uncle Gilbert was walk-ing with a cane, but sharp as a tack as he greeted and recognized every-one there. It was a great day and we wish for him good health and many more birthdays!
We got home and Eliza-beth and Lyla came over and we cooked hamburg-ers on the grill. It was nice for them to visit.
Sunday, Bill and Nancy Shockley came over to see my piano (she wondered if it was the one she re-membered as a child, as her aunt, Anita Green, had sold it to me years ago). Also they brought one of our pups, Lulu, with them! She took a
little time but finally rec-ognized us and she got down and ran all over the house where she lived for a few months. She’s long and slim and shiny solid black. Beautiful dog, if I may say so myself! We had to cut our visit short because it was time for all of us to get ready for our respective churches, but I hope they will visit again.
That night we had Mex-ican food for our Fellow-ship Meal at the Coving-ton Church of Christ, but I took my daddy, Kenneth Weir, out for a hamburger. James stayed at the meal and we’d been watching a dark cloud coming in as we ate. It was raining by the time we picked him up but we didn’t get much out here at that time, maybe a tenth of an inch.
Yesterday, Monday, Eric Keith stayed with us for a couple of hours while his mother, Heather, attend-ed breakfast at school with their elder son, Ian. He played with tractors and cars, ate a snack and was very good and easy to keep. We had a good time with him.
My dad, Kenneth Weir, was also here part of the day, then he and I went shopping and then I stayed at his house for the
afternoon. Came home and cooked chicken on the grill.
We are looking forward to Nick Bryan and Diana Maddox’s wedding this Saturday. We’ve known Nick his whole life, I guess. He’s been a friend of Clint’s for a long time and I think he was in Liz’s class. I wish for this couple many happy years together!
My sincere sympathy goes to all the family and friends of Lillie Bram-mer, who passed away this past weekend. Her funeral was yesterday in Raleigh. We hadn’t seen her in a while; she’d been living with a daughter in Nashville for several months. They are in my prayers.
Bobbie Deen is recov-ering from surgery and Bonnie Holbrook is still recovering from a car ac-cident. Frank Brown had a procedure and we’re hop-ing it will ease his pain. Jenni Langston continues in our prayers, as well as Kenneth Mason, John Evans IV and so many of our members’ friends and family members, and our servicemen and women.The Birthday Party at Covington Care will be on the May 22 at 2 p.m. On May 26 we will have
singing and a Wednesday night meal at 5:30 p.m.
On May 28 the youth will have a workday, grounds cleanup and VBS set-up. The ACTS Devo-tional and final prepara-tions for VBS will be on May 30.
Happy Birthday this week goes to Amy Hall on May 16 and to Billy Kidd on the 19!
Happy Anniversary to John and Cammy Evans on May 16 and to Jeremy and Andrea Newman on the 19!
This may be a new feature for the col-umn: “Reader to Read-er”! A week or so ago I let Mary Yoe Spooner know that Danny Bland was looking forward to see-ing his favorite teacher at their 50th Class Reunion this October, as we know she reads the column. Well, Ed Fleming passes along a big “Hello” to Danny Bland! You have been notified, Dan! Maybe you can look Ed up when you’re here this fall!
I got this information from Martha Millican, a Drummonds reader, in an email: (listen up, girls!) The women’s group from Poplar Grove UMC is hosting a Vintage Style Show and Luncheon on Saturday, May 22 at 11:30
a.m. Jean Cole owns a clothing museum in Lo-gansport, Ind. and is put-ting on the show. She will bring clothes from the 1850s-1970s. She plays music of the time and tells about what was go-ing on during the time pe-riod. She does a great job and makes it a really fun time for all. Your daugh-ters would enjoy this as much as you will. There will be door prizes. The ticket are $12 each and the lunch includes Chicken Divan, pasta salad, Jell-O fluff salad, yeast rolls and mandarin orange cake, tea and coffee.
Sounds like fun! Thanks, Martha!
“Thanks for Reading” this week goes to Ed Fleming, Nancy Shockley and Shirley Bready! Sa-lute!
This week’s Farmer’s Almanac Quote: “When a cow tries to scratch its ear, it means a shower is very near.” Guess they didn’t have Doppler Ra-dar when they wrote that!
I know that June is very near! This year is going by very quickly! Enjoy spring while it’s still around! I dread 90+ degree days every day!
Until next week …Elaine

Arlington, thanks to win-ning the District 14-AAA title last week, made its first ap-pearance in the regional tour-nament on Tuesday.
That was the good news for the Lady Tigers. The bad news was that they had to face Brigh-ton, a team that has been there many times. The experience disparity seemed to show.
Brighton scored three times in the top of the first and rode ace Leanna Coulston the rest of the way to a relatively easy 5-0 road win.
The win propels Brighton (29-10) into the sectionals on Friday where they will play Houston or Collierville with a second straight berth in the Class AAA State Tournament on the line.
“I thought we played pretty good,” said Brighton head coach Robin Jacobs. “We hit a little better. It wasn’t Leanna’s best game, but she was good. We’ve come to expect so much from her.”
Coulston was dominant most of the game. She didn’t give up a hit until the fourth inning, and that was the only one she allowed. Coulston struck out 11 and never really let the Lady Tigers get anything going.
Brighton loaded the bases in the first when C.J. Jacobs doubled, Britt Sanford was hit by a pitch and Megan McDivitt walked. After Jacobs scored on a wild pitch, freshman Laura Judy drove in two runs with a double.
In the fifth inning, Jacobs led off with a single and was bunt-ed to second by Lauren Gentry. Sanford brought Jacobs home with a single and McDivitt plated Brighton’s final run with double to the leftfield wall.
Coach Jacobs shuffled his lineup recently, inserting Judy and Hadley Williams, another freshman.
“Those freshmen we put in there have really helped,” said Jacobs. “They’re putting the bat on the ball and moving people along. That makes a difference, especially when you get to this point in the season.”

Brighton gave a fa-vored Arlington team all it wanted and more Tuesday night in the Re-gion 7-AAA soccer semi-finals.
But in the end the Ti-gers got a goal late in regulation and another early in overtime to pre-vail 3-2.
When Brighton senior Dylan Burnette scored with 15 minutes left in regulation the Cardinals led 2-1 and a hush came over the stunned Arling-ton crowd.
Eight minutes later the Tigers got the equalizer, forcing overtime.
Two minutes into the first 10-minute overtime period, Brighton goal-keeper Ryan Pangburn came out on a loose ball. The ball got behind him and ended up in the back of the net.
Brighton had several shots on goal the rest of the way, but couldn’t convert, ending its sea-son at 7-10-2.
Pangburn was incon-solable after the game, but coach Richard Van-dergrift was quick to
point out that the loss was not his goalkeeper’s fault.
“He’s really hurting right now,” said Vander-grift. “But after game he had … He made a lot of great saves. We wouldn’t have been in this game without him. We don’t hold him responsible.”
Brighton lost to Ar-lington 6-0 six weeks ago and entered the game as the heavy underdog.
Arlington got on the
board first in the 10th minute, but Burnette headed the ball in the net after a cornerkick five minutes later to tie the game.
Brighton lost to Jack-son North Side 3-1 last Thursday in the district championship game. Following the game, Vandergrift and his players had a meeting.
“We talked about heart,” Vandergrift said. “I told them to dream
big. They told me they wanted to pull off an upset tonight, and they nearly did … that’s a good team over there. We gave them all they could handle.”

The Covington Char-gers suffered a season -nding loss to Jackson Southside, 4-3, in the regional semi-final on Monday night
Several CHS players received district awards. Chad Lewis and Heath Hoffman were named to the 2010 Senior All-Ac-ademic Team for GPAs of 3.0 or better. Jarvis Harwell, Tyler Davis, Will Cooley and Conner Faulk were placed on the All-District team.
Davis and Cooley along with Carlos Wil-liams were selected to the All-Tournament team. Williams was named dis-trict player of the year as a freshman. Charger head coach, David Sage, was tagged as coach of the year.
May 12, Dyersburg 8, CHS 3, District Cham-
pionship at USAThe senior laden Tro-
jans were again too much for the Chargers. CHS broke on top with an
unearned run in the first but the Trojans tied it with one of their own in the bottom of the frame. An error and a wild pitch in the second inning led to 4 Dyersburg runs that proved to be a lead that CHS could not overcome. The Trojans would add 3 more runs so that despite a small CHS rally in the 6th the comeback would be too little too late.
Faulk took the loss for CHS. He gave up 5 runs (2 earned), 3 hits and walked 2 in two innings of work. Two errors were committed behind him. Trojan pitching was stin-gy allowing CHS only 3 hits in the game all sin-gles by Cameron Dick-ey, Heath Hoffman and Will Cooley. The Char-gers managed to draw 4 walks.

May 17, CHS 3, Jackson Southside 4, Regional
Semi-Final at SouthsideOn a wet, sloppy field
that took more rain dur-ing the game, Cooley pitched well enough to win but errors of his own and his mates and some outstanding defensive plays by the Hawks to kill scoring opportunities ended CHS’ hopes for a trip to Murfreesboro this year on Monday night. The Chargers fell behind 1-0 in the second inning on an unearned run but bounced back to take a 2-1 lead in the top of the third on walks to Camer-on Dickey and Williams and a double by Har-well to score them both. CHS upped the lead to
3-1 on a Hawk error in the fourth but gave the two runs back in the fifth without a hit for a 3-3 tie. A Charger error and two Southside singles in the bottom of the seventh propelled the Hawks to the walk-off win and CHS to dreams of what might have been.
Jarvis Harwell closed his CHS career with a pair of hits and 2 RBI. Heath Hoffman and Chad Lew-is added singles for CHS. The Chargers ended the season with a record of 20-12.

The two top teams from sectional will advance to state in Murphreesboro.

jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the 1st inning and were never headed. They added 4 runs in the 2nd inning and 2 more in the 4th and 6th to notch their 43rd victory of the season and clinch a berth in the Region 7 AA final against martin Westview on
Wednesday on home turf. The visiting Eaglettes were their own worst enemies committing 4 er-rors in the game that con-tributed to 6 of the Lady Charger runs.
Cousar got her 19th win of the season. She allowed only 4 base runners on 2 singles, a double and a hit batter. A runner reached 2nd in the 2nd inning and one reached 3rd in the 5th but Cousar stranded them both in a powerful pitching performance. Her teammates played er-ror free ball while pound-ing out 7 hits including the game ender, a two run shot off the bat of Gabby Glenn deep over the right-center field fence.
Autumn Glenn, Browder and Cousar each scored a pair of runs. Cousar and Allie Moss each had 2 RBI. Gabby Glenn was 2 for 3 with a single and the homer.
CHS was to play Mar-tin Westview for the Re-gion 7 AA championship at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, May 19. With a win, the Lady Chargers would host the sectional round on Friday, May 21, at 7 p.m. against the runner-up from Region 8 AA with the winner advanc-ing to Murfreesboro. With a Wednesday loss, CHS would travel to play the Region 8 AA champion with Murfreesboro on the line.
