Elm Grove Tula Star Hello dear friends, last week we had three wedding anniversaries in our family. Marshall and I have been married 60 years on June 14. Our daughter, Becky Starr Glisson and Gary Glisson have been married 30 years on the l5th, and Heather Glisson Moore and Brandon Moore have been married two years on June 12. We took them all went out to eat to celebrate our anniversaries. Well as usual I had to go to the bathroom before I could finish eating. I dash to the restroom... grab a toilet seat cover for the commode and with all the body movement the automatic toilet flushed ... down goes the seat cover. I thought to myself... don’t have time to get another seat cover, so I just plop down and empty my small bladder. We had a great meal of prime rib and peal and eat shrimp with all the trimmings. Our son -in-law ate so much he was sick the next day and could not go to work. One of my neighbors, Jean Jordan called me the other day and said to me that Shirley Adkison, who subscribes to The Leader and used to live here in our area had lost her recipe for the Chocolate Cobbler, and asked if I would get it printed in The Leader again. She now lives in Florida, and she stills gets The Leader. Ms. Adkison said that it was her son’s favorite dessert. Chocolate Cobbler: Melt two sticks of margarine in a 9 X 13 pan. Mix one box of chocolate cake mix with 1 cup of milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Pour over melted margarine. Do not stir. Mix together in a separate bowl. 1cup sugar, 5-6 tablespoons of cocoa, sprinkle mixture over top of ingredients in pan. Do not stir. Pour 2 cups of boiling water into pan do not stir. Bake 350 degrees for 35 minutes. We are member of Elm Grove United Methodist Church. This past Sunday was Bro. Jim Appleton’s last day at our church. He is getting two small churches in the Camden area. He has been here four years. We wish you well in your new home and churches. Love & prayers.

UT Extenstion offers canning class
Juicy ripe peaches, snapping fresh green beans, sweet grape jelly, and crunchy dill pickles … nothing tastes better than home-canned foods. For many, preserving these and other foods at home can be an intimidating process. However, this does not have to be the case. In fact, with a little knowledge, the right skills, and practice, anyone will find that it is so easy to preserve fresh fruits and vegetables at home. The University of Tennessee Extension in Tipton County will present a program to help with canning foods safely at home. “Canning Workshop: Preserving Foods Safely” is a program designed to teach, through hands-on demonstrations, the “ins and outs” of home canning. This program will provide an overview of the canning process using the water bath canner and the pressure canner. Whether you are an experienced canner who has preserved food for years or a novice wanting to learn more about home canning, this program is for you. During the first portion of the class, participants will learn basic food preservation and home canning principles and terminology. The second portion of the class will actually be spent in the kitchen canning foods! Participants will have the opportunity to preserve grape jelly and green beans all with assistance. In addition, participants will receive a Canning Booklet with recipes developed by the UT Extension Service and foods canned during the class. “Canning Workshop: Preserving Foods Safely” will be held July 10th from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm at the Tipton County Extension office located at 111 West Washington Avenue in Covington. Individuals interested in registering for this program should contact Priscilla Eddins at the Tipton County Extension office at (901)476-0231. (There is a $20 registration fee to cover the costs of supplies and produce for the class.) The deadline to register is July 3, 2012. This program is open to anyone who would like to learn more about food preservation. All programs sponsored by the UT Extension Service are opened to all eligible persons on a non-discriminatory basis.

Albright Kicks Off State House Race with Focus on Great Schools, Good American Jobs BRIGHTON, Tenn. — Conneye Thompson Albright, an educator at Munford Middle School, will kick off her campaign for State Representative on Saturday, June 23 with a focus of great schools and good American jobs. "I tell my students to get involved, to make a difference in the world and always try to do the right thing when dealing with others. After watching what's happened in the legislature, I am following my own advice," Albright said. "I have a strong passion to protect and preserve our public schools, and it is easy to see there are still too many hard-working Tennesseans out of work or working multiple jobs just to make ends meet. It's time to end the politics and focus on results for our families and our children." Albright is running for election to the State House of Representative for the 81st District, which includes all of Tipton County. Her campaign kickoff and Grand Opening of her campaign headquarters is open to the public. The celebration will be all day with refreshments served from 2 - 5 p.m. For additional information visit our website at www. conneyealbright.com. "Please come by, I would be honored
