Taxes may rise in Atoka, Munford

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Atoka and Munford each have plans to add one firefighter to their respective departments in the coming months.

In order to pay for it, both towns are aiming to have a referendum in September asking voters to increase the local sales tax from $2.25 to $2.75 per $100.

“For every $10 pizza you buy, it's a nickle (more),” Munford Mayor Dwayne Cole said during Monday's

Munford Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting.

“It's very important to us. We've been way behind for a long time with fire department staffing.”

An ordinance passed at Monday's Munford meeting calling for the referendum.

A second and final reading, plus a public hearing on the matter, will be held May 28 at Munford's board room.

Cole said if the referendum passes he expects the extra annual revenue to be about $180,000.

If everything goes as planned, the increased sales tax rate could go into effect as early has Nov. 1.

Munford Alderman Jack Foraker said there are currently eight firemen and 36 policemen in Munford.

“That number should be about the same,” Foraker said.

Cole said Covington and Millington currently have the same local sales tax rate Munford is shooting for.

The mayor also pointed out that by raising sales tax instead of property tax, the bill would also be footed by non-

residents who shop in Munford.

“This will keep us from having to raise property tax if the revenue comes through as expected,” Munford Alderman Terry Colin said.

Because its a special election, the city will be responsible for paying for it.

Cole said, because of the revenue that it will raise, the cost of the election is worth it.

“This is a major step in helping us improve,” Cole said.

Nurse comes to rescue of man

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com As a nurse practitioner, Debbie Delones regularly performs a wide variety of examinations and procedures that the average person would be very uncomfortable doing.

But one thing makes Delones, who co-owns Easley Delones Family Medicine in Covington with Jennifer Easley, very uncomfortable: flying on an airplane.

“I'm a nervous flyer,” Delones said. “I get kind of claustrophobic … That's why it's kind of crazy that this happened.”

On March 19, Delones was on a Delta flight from Charleston, S.C., to Atlanta when she heard something that got her attention.

A flight attendant asked if there was a doctor on board.

“Nobody was getting up,” Delones said, “so I did.”

An elderly man a few rows in front of Delones was having trouble breathing.

He had a pulse, but it was very weak.

Delones, who has worked in the cardiac department as a nurse, was pretty sure the man was having a heart attack.

“He was pretty much out of

EVENT

Pet adoption fair planned

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com This weekend an adoption fair is planned at Valentine Park with the hopes of finding families for homeless pets.

The event is part of a concerted effort to promote the Tipton County Animal Shelter and the strides being made there.

“Every day we hear from people who don’t know the shelter is there,” said Heather Twisdale, operator of Paws and Claws Photography and one of the event’s organizers. “One of our main focuses is getting the shelter out there.”

Twisdale said it’s important focus because it may help reunite a missing pet with its owners.

“Some of these dogs belong to somebody, you can tell. But some people don’t realize the shelter’s there.”

In fact, recently a pitbull mix who had been at the shelter for three months without being adopted or rescued was reunited with his owners. The family only lived half a mile away.

“Someone told me you could basically see their house from the shelter,” Twisdale said. “He would have likely never made it out of there.”

Notorious for high-

kill practices, the Tipton County Animal Shelter has been making big changes in 2013.

Twisdale and other volunteers have helped find homes for dogs and cats by vaccinating them to reduce illness and disease in the shelter, socializing the dogs with the new dog-walking program and marketing adoptable pets on social networking sites, such as the Paws and Claws Photography for the Tipton County Animal Shelter Facebook page.

If the early part of 2013 sets a new standard, the shelter will lose its highkill reputation. In fact, in nearly six months, not one cat has been put to sleep and less than a dozen dogs have been put down. That number was significantly higher per week prior to these changes.

One of the biggest parts of helping the shelter is making more people aware of its existence and the changes being made, Twisdale said.

“Spay and neuter education is what we always teach, but we also need to let people know the shelter’s here and that we’re making changes,” she said. “Before this I never went to the shelter because I knew the dogs I’d see would likely be

euthanized; now it’s so different.”

She and other event organizers hope Saturday’s event will help.

Several adoptable dogs and cats will be on-hand for the event, and they’re ready to find a forever home. The shelter will be selling its $25 spayneuter vouchers – approximately 100 are still available – and popular Hollywood Feed trainer Ira Smith will be on-hand with some of his best students.

From 9-10 a.m. guests can participate in a “Shake It for the Shelter” zumba fundraiser for a $5 donation.

All proceeds will benefit the shelter and adoption expenses.

The adoption fair will take place from 9 a.m.

to 2 p.m. at Valentine Park on Beaver Road. For more information, see the Paws and Claws Photography for the Tipton County Animal Shelter page on Facebook or call 901-837-5965.

Continued from A1 it,” Delones said. “Then he kind of went out.”

The flight was about 15 minutes from landing, so Delones took action.

She monitored his pulse by putting her fingers on his wrist and gave him oxygen from a tank that was on board the plane.

“That's pretty much all I could do,” Delones said.

“It was kind of scary. I knew what to do but I didn't have any equipment that I needed.”

After a few minutes of oxygen, the man got better.

If his pulse had stopped, Delones said, she would have had to lay him down in the aisle and perform CPR. “That would have been really difficult,” Delones said. “There wasn't much room in there and I was pretty much taking up the whole aisle already.”

By the time the plane landed, the man was able to walk off the plane under his own power and was met by paramedics.

Delones never got his name, and the man's wife, who was naturally upset during the ordeal, never thought to ask for hers.

She wasn't able to find out how things turned out for the man, but Delones believes he probably made it through okay.

Delones down played the event, saying she did what anybody could have done.

Her co-workers at Easley Delones call her a hero.

They're kind of kidding, and kind of not.

“It was like something out of a movie when somebody asks for a doctor,” Delones said.

As for whether or not the event has made Delones more or less afraid of flying, that remains to be seen.

“I was scared to fly anyway,” Delones said with a shrug. “So we'll see.”

FLASHBACK

GUEST OPINION

How it really is, a teaser the ideal As I was working on a graduate degree in Political Science I was required to read Niccolo Machiavelli’s The Prince. It was a short book printed written around 1513 giving advice to a prince who desired to successfully rule, achieve glory and help his people and nation survive.

Although full of devious advice with a somewhat “ends justify the means” message, The Prince offers one of the best and most direct illustrations of how men actually are, which is not altogether good. In light of this reality, Machiavelli departs from the ideal and focuses on the real, writing: Men have imagined republics and principalities that never really existed at all. Yet the way men live is so far removed from the way they ought to live J IM HARDIN that anyone who abandons what is for what should be pursues his downfall rather than his preservation.

I encourage those who want a vivid look at wickedness dressed up as a clever and thoughtful leadership to read The Prince.

I bring this up because I will for the five Thursdays in May submit a series of articles on topics that will attempt to go beyond the ideal and speak to the real. We will “peel the onion back as they say in order to get to the heart of the matter.

Now, when you peel an onion there may be some crying involved. Reality is sometimes harsh, but once you get down to the core, truth can be found. Toes will be stepped on, including mine, but we’ll explore life, family and a host of other issues these next five weeks.

I do not claim ownership of all truth. The only thing to which I am certain is that I am a wicked sinner in need of a Savior. Hang on and get ready to be challeneged.

Capitol review: A wrap-up of legislative news In the final week of the legislative session, the House of Representatives passed Tennessee’s annual budget with an 83 – 14 vote. The bill’s passage was the culmination of months of tireless work crafting a fiscally responsible and balanced budget. The $32.6 billion budget cuts taxes, puts $100 million in the state’s Rainy Day Fund, improves our educational system, and provides an even better environment for businesses to grow and for jobs to flourish.

At the beginning of this year’s legislative session, lawmakers promised Tennesseans that fiscal responsibility would be a priority. The budget they crafted holds true to that principle while ensuring Tennesseans get the services they expect.

Following passage of the budget, Majority Leader Gerald McCormick (R–Chattanooga) stated, “I want to thank my colleagues for a job well done.

With the help of Governor Haslam, the House and Senate worked seamlessly to pass a forward-thinking budget that embodies the principles and priorities of all Tennesseans.”

Budget highlights include: Tax Cuts At the beginning of this legislative session, House leaders promised they would do everything to maintain the state’s strong financial record, balance the budget, and return hard-earned tax dollars back to all Tennesseans. Over the last several months, they have followed through on that promise, ensurTHE LEADER

ing every Tennessean across the state will realize tax savings to the tune of $43 million this year, including: A drop in the state sales tax on groceries from 5.25% to a flat 5.00% rate which will save taxpayers approximately $25 million statewide. This tax reduction builds on efforts during the last legislative session which reduced the sales tax on food from 5.5% to 5.25%. Lawmakers hope to continue this trend in years to come; Implementation of the second phase to eliminate Tennessee’s death tax, which is set to be completely phased out by 2016. Lawmakers argue the death tax breaks up family farms and small businesses, forcing families to make tough decisions during what is often the most difficult times in their lives: the passing of a loved one. In many cases, families are faced with selling off parts of farms and land or closing a small, familyowned business in order to pay the tax bill. The full repeal of the death tax will represent a $94.6 million tax cut; A cut in the Hall tax for seniors 65 and older. The Hall tax is imposed on income derived from interest on bonds, notes, and stock dividends. Since enactment of the Hall tax in 1929, the use of investment savings has grown as a primary source of retirement income.

Because of this fact, lawmakers argue the Hall tax is actually an income tax, especially for seniors living on a fixed income. The Hall tax cut approved in the budget raises the income exemption

The law has not helped much.

For instance, welfare has often rewarded the wrong and punished the right. Originally, divorce or separation would sometimes remove a father from the home.

By 1995, almost 60 percent of all AFDC families were headed by unmarried mothers. Births to unwed teen mothers who were poorly educated and who had no income other than welfare was the predictable result.

This country, including our lawmakers, need to turn back to God and His Word.

Tipton County and the Civil War: April 1863

By RUSSELL BAILEY Tipton County Historian Federals in Tipton County, Continued The late Mrs. Mary Owen Gibbs Wilson recorded that Federal soldiers used the small frame Methodist Church at Tabernacle located on the Gift Road a short distance from the site of the present building, as a “commissary”.

From Covington the Federals rode south through Tipton County: “The Regiment scoured the country from Covington to Porterville, and to "Big Creek Settlement", within twenty miles of Memphis, gathering in horses, mules, some "citizens" with arms handy, and also needed supplies for the men.”

A lady at Portersville wrote: “A brutish uncivilized set composed of Tennesseans, Mississippians, Alabamians with some pure Yanks commanded by one Colonel (Fielding) Hurst came…

Hello Everyone!

Hope this week finds everyone well and "busy as bees". And yes they are and they are everywhere along with the wasp and other insects buzzing around. They are having an overload of nectar and pollinating everything. There has been an allergy overload at my house. We are trying to stay on top of it, but it does present a challenge. Neal especially with his asthma, but I have to say that he is doing

Elm Grove Tula Starr

Hello, dear readers: New Glasses - Well, I decided I needed to get my glasses updated. We went to the Navy Base for M.. D. to get him some new glasses.

So I had them to do the test on my eyes while we were there. I could not get free glasses there, but they did do the testing and gave me a prescription to take to my regular eye doctor.

I took my prescription to our regular eye doctor. They took my prescription & said they would call me when my glasses were ready. I used the same frames. So I left my glasses with the doctors office. About two days later I called to check to see

They burned Bob Strong’s house and every mouthful of provision. They had also burned (Sergeant) Christopher Simonton’s dwelling house & kitchen & corncribs; they saved the meat; burned (Captain) John Payne’s house all except his stables. Took all or very near all horses they could…

Hurst swears in his wrath that they intended to burn the whole country out. Their excuse is (Payne, Simonton and Strong were soldiers of Confederate Colonel R. V.) Richardson or the guerrillas as they term them…

Dr. (Surgeon Christopher W.) Dickson and G. (George) McDill are prisoners. George is now confined in the Irving Block Memphis with his parole in his pocket. We have a perfidious enemy as well as a pillaging plundering one…”

Mrs. Harriet McDill McLaughlin was a young child when the Lawler and Hurst’s men rode up to Robert McDill’s farm at Portersville: “…Four hundred mounted men came

down upon us late one afternoon. The advance guard first inspected the barns and shouted ‘Captain, there is enough provender for every horse and food for all the men! Lets’ came here tonight’…

By morning the corn, fodder and hay had all been consumed, the hams eaten and most of the chickens roasted…In the morning they demanded the key to the (McDill) store and took everything they could use, and packed great bundles to carry with them…”

A lady at Portersville wrote: “Uncle Bob (family slave) went with the house burners. Pa thinks he did not go willingly…I want every darky to go that wants to; rather they would be with the yanks than at home dissatisfied.”

Note: On March 31, 1863, Henry Halleck directed Gen. U. S. Grant to enforce a new policy regarding slaves of the Confederates: “It is the policy of the Government to

withdraw from the enemy as much productive labor as possible. So long as the rebels retain and employ their slaves in producing grains, etc., they can employ all the whites in the field. Every slave withdrawn from the enemy is equivalent to a white man placed hors de combat…use the Negroes of the South…as a military force, for the defense of forts, depots, etc….

It has been reported to the Secretary of War that many of the officers of your command not only discourage the Negroes from coming under our protection, but by ill-treatment force them to return to their masters…

It is expected that you will use your official and personal influence to remove prejudices on this subject, and to fully and thoroughly carry out the policy now adopted…that policy is to withdraw from the use of the enemy all the slaves you can, and to employ those so withdrawn to the best possible advantage against the enemy.”

well and taking his treatments like a trooper.

I believe I have a new gardeners love!! This is more for the women. Sorry guys I'll find a new item I like I am sure for you. I was at Oaklawn Garden Center and bought a new pair of gloves. I never seem to have enough. But there again they never seem to fit my hand well enough either. I am one of those that don't like the real bulky ones. I am use to working in gloves at work applying chemicals so it is important for me to have protection but I like to feel what I'm doing at the

same time. Well girls if you haven't gotten a pair GO!!

They are rubber on the inside of the hand and a very thin stretchy knit on the backside. They say "almost naked" and that's the truth.

I love, love, love them. My hands stay clean and not all clammy and sweaty. I'm telling you they are terrific. Hope Wendy ordered enough. Just sayin'!

By the time everyone gets this paper I should be a Grandmother again. Danielle is going in today, if not before, to have this darling baby boy. She has such big babies that the doctors de-

cided to induce her a week early. Good for them and bless them. I get anxious thinking of how hard it is for her to have these big infants. She isn't a very big person in size but I am sure Paul will have a new admiration for her when she gets this new one here. I do pray all goes well, Hawaii is a long way from here. Kind of a helpless feeling for a Mom, she is still my baby girl.

I have been reflecting on a family this week that God has shown that He is still in control.

He knows best and will take our burdens and give

us comfort. This is the Stitt family, and they are such a strong family and God has been preparing them for quite some time for the events of late. Their children have gradually been finishing school, getting married, moving back to the county, and having children of their own. All of this unknowingly of the illness that would require them all to pull together and get through this a day at a time for the patriarch of their family. Please continue your prayers for them.

Once again, there is a busy week ahead for the children

if my glasses were ready.

They said, it would take 14 days to get my glasses. They did not tell me this when I dropped my prescription off to them.

Needless, to say I have been about to go crazy.

I have prescription sun glasses....I thought I could just wear them for a few day....but it is not much fun to watch TV with dark sun glasses in a dark room.

So finally, Tuesday afternoon they called me said my glasses were ready.

I went and picked them up......I was so glad to get my glasses back with new lens I am just praising the Lord for my new glasses.

Monday, was a beautiful day here on Elm Grove Road. we dug up some flowers in our yard and put them in another part of the

yard. We sat out six tomato plants where the flowers used to be. We hope they will do well.....as we just love home grown tomatoes.

The Wild Game Dinner at Elm Grove was a great success. We raised $1,300.00 for the Guatemala Habiat for Humanity mission trip.

Well, we have another grand child that just got her learner's permit. She drove her mother over to see us on Monday. She did not park in the garage. We have too much stuff in our garage.

The " old man" has a Troy Built lawn mower. He goes out to cut the grass and the belt was broken on it. He also has a Kaboda tractor .

He gets on it and cranks it up....then he could not get the tractor in the right gear.

So...he goes to town and get a new belt for the lawn

mower....finally he got the belt on the lawn mower with our good neighbor's help (Mr. Tim). Thanks Mr. Tim. The tractor is still out of order. I noticed that he had the battery charging on the tractor...maybe it has something wrong with the battery. So, if there is a mechanic out here that makes house calls....we sure would like to get his phone number. The tractor place charges $100. just to come out and pick it up.

We are enjoying the Munford Senor Citizen Center.

On Monday we went early and walked around the tract. If you make five laps around ....that is one mile.

Also, we went Tuesday and walked the five laps around the tract.

Our good neighbor, Mr.

Alvin Williams had a pace maker installed in his chest this week. He is doing very well. He will have to stay off his tractor....for a few days.

at the Simonton home. We have the band concert on Tuesday, honors night on Thursday, and Brenna will be inducted into the National Honor Society on Friday night.

All of this at Brighton High, so I'm sure I will see some of you there.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week and enjoys each and everyday. Love your neighbor, pray daily, and ask God just what you can do today to make this day better for someone else.

Love, Debe

Jamestown DarSay Burton

Greetings. Another year another birthday! April 8th began very well but near it’s end, I began to feel ill. All night into the next morning, it was a severe pain in my lower right back and side.

So I took it all over to Meth North where after many tests learned that it was infection in my kidneys.

So I was ordered complete bed rest all week, which I did without any doubt. By Saturday, I felt a whole lot better, I even attended the wedding of our church’s announcer, Princess Allen, who married James Whitley, Sr. It was performed beautifully by our pastor, Rev. Steven Miller, Sr., at North Star Community Church in Memphis. I only made the wedding, didn’t push the reception afterwards. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. James Whitley, Sr. and family.

Munford edges Brighton in a wild one

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Brighton hosted Munford in a wild soccer game Friday afternoon with big District 13-AAA ramifications.

In a game that featured three ties and two red cards, Munford came out on top 4-3 thanks to an own goal in the final two minutes.

The Cougars (9-3 overall, 1-1 district) led 2-1 at halftime.

After Brighton tied the game at 2-2 on a goal by Austin Chapman, Munford went ahead on a penalty kick by Jaylen Hill.

Brighton answered moments later before the own goal decided the match.

“The game was one that Brighton

came out very aggressive and did not allow us to get into a groove,” said Munford head coach Kyle Selby. “We scored and had other opportunities, but give Brighton credit. They did what they had to to prevent us from scoring. Great defense and a very good keeper kept things close.”

Zack Kurtzman, on an assist from Hill, scored Munford's first goal.

Cedrick Williams assisted Tucker Thompson on Munford's second goal.

A Brighton player received a red card in the opening minutes for taking down a player from behind and another Cardinal was red carded in the second half, leaving the Cardinals to play two men down with nine players.

Brighton dropped to 4-4-1 overall

and 0-2 in district play.

“With being down to nine players, these guys showed a lot of heart,” said Brighton head coach Bubba Chambers. “We've come a long way with a great bunch of kids. They've gotten their names out there around here and in the city of Memphis.”

Brighton plays at Ridgeway next Tuesday. Munford travels to Dyersburg tomorrow and plays at Jackson Christian School on Saturday at 9 a.m.

Next Thursday the Cougars host Dyer County in their final district game. A win there will secure a second seed in the district tournament.

The district tournament begins May 7 with the top two seeds hosting semifinal games. The title game will be May 9.

Munford heating up

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com

The Munford Lady Cougars were struggling, at least by their standards, in the early part of the season.

But the team has been playing better of late, having dispatched Collierville and Briarcrest last week.

That came on the heels of winning the Lady Charger Invitational the week before.

“When we play defense we can be a pretty good team,” said Munford head coach Glenn Goulder. “When we decide not to play defense, we're not pretty good … We're starting to look a little better.”

Munford's offense has been in high gear of late for the most part.

The Lady Cougars routed Jackson North Side on the road Monday, 15-0.

Alex Stanford struck out seven of the nine batters she faced in the three inning game.

Lady Chargers claim tournament title

By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com The Lady Chargers got a 4-0 win at Briarcrest on Tuesday.

Gabby Glenn ran her record to 13-2.

She allowed six hits and struck out 12.

Her sister Neely had a single and a double. Shelby Bolding and Ryleigh Deverell had a pair of singles to pace the offense. Six other batters added a single each.

CHS moved on to the Brighton tournament April 9-10, winning all three pool games and the tournament championship in the process.

Covington stopped Brighton 9-3 in the tournament opener. Glenn picked up her 14th win against two losses,

giving up four hits and four walks with five strikeouts.

She also led the way at the plate, banging out a single and a double that plated three RBIs. Treasury Poindexter and Laina Gray added a pair of singles each.

In the second pool game, Covington dropped Tipton-Rosemark 6-4.

Hannah Clifton improved her record to 6-2. She gave up eight hits while striking out two and walking one.

Poindexter was the offensive star with a pair of hits, two runs scored, a stolen base and three RBIs. Bartlett fell 11-1 in the final game to earn CHS (21-4) the tourney crown.

Gabby Glenn improved to 15-2 with a two-hitter. She struck out two and

walked one and burned the Lady Panthers with a three-run homer and a single. Clifton also popped a solo home run.

Munford comes calling at 6:30 p.m. on Friday.

Senior Night will be another makeup game against Haywood on Monday.

Ceremonies will begin at 6 p.m. Seniors to be honored are Kaitlyn Ashburn, Shelby Bolding, Jasmine Brown, Ryleigh Deverell and Gabby Glenn.

The District 13 AA tournament commences on May 1.

CHS has four district games remaining. They potentially will host a home game if they earn a one or two seed.

Brighton picked up a key District 13-AAA win in dramatic fashion Monday night at home against Dyer County.

With the score tied at 2-2 in the bottom of the ninth, Brighton's Kolton Childress doubled to put men on second and third with no outs.

After an intentional walk, Colby Poston and Jared Webb struck out.

But Matt Scott worked a full count and eventually walked, bringing home Ladarius Williams for a 3-2 Brighton win.

“That was their first district loss,” said Brighton head coach Brian Oswalt. “It was a big win for us. We really needed something like that.”

The win secured a third place finish in the district standings for Brighton (15-15, 5-3 district), meaning the Cardinals will draw fifth-seeded Jackson North Side in the opening round, which begins a week from tomorrow at Hardin County.

Williams singled home the tying run in the bottom of the sixth and the game remained scoreless until the dramatic finish in the ninth.

Brighton's Nathan Newman came through a with a strong performance on the mound, striking out five and allowing just five hits over eight innings.

Webb pitched a perfect eighth to earn the win.

Childress had two of Brighton's five hits.

Chargers dispatch Trojans

By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com Covington got a big boost in the fight for playoff seeding with a 5-4 road win at Dyersburg on April 15.

Carlos Williams and Dalton Carlton provided a load off offense.

Carlton continued his improvement at the plate with a pair of singles and two RBIs. Carlos Williams tripled to lead off the third and scored the first of his two runs in a three-run outburst that gave the Chargers a 3-0 lead.

After the Trojans cut the margin to 3-1 in the bottom of the frame, Williams got into the act again in the top of the fourth with a two-run homer that gave the Chargers a 5-1 lead that they would not surrender.

Tommy Beasley singled, Dalton Carlton chipped in a pair of hits and Brad Walker doubled to round out the CHS offense.

Tommy Beasley (6-2) gave up two runs in the fifth and another in the seventh, cutting the CHS lead to 5-4, but he held on for the complete game win. He allowed three earned runs on seven hits. Beasley recorded nine strikeouts and walked four.

The following day, the Trojans came to Covington, giving the Chargers an opportunity to take control of the district south division with a win.

Bradyn McClain put out the fire, pitching scoreless sixth and seventh innings, notching a trio of strikeouts to go with no hits.

Unfortunately the house had already burned down in a 16-9 loss that took three hours and 20 minutes.

That dropped Covington into a three-way district lead tie with the Trojans and Ripley at 4-2.

Covington never led. A 1-1 tie after one inning was as close as they came.

Beasley was 2 for 5 with a pair of RBIs and was aided by Walker, who was 1 for 5 with two RBIs. On Friday night, Geno Miller, head coach of the 2006 CHS state championship team, brought his 17-1 Lone Oak (Ky.) Purple Flash to town. The Chargers bounced back with a solid showing to down the visitors 3-2.

COMMENTARY

What are you looking for?

By RICK HUFFMAN Gilt Edge Church of Christ The story is told of a young soldier who would go around picking up certain objects and exclaiming, “That’s not it!” While pulling KP and peeling potatoes, he would pick up a potato, look at it carefully, say, “That’s not it!", lay it aside, pick up another and make the same statement. While on cleanup patrol, he would pick up a piece of litter from the ground, examine it, and conclude, “That’s not it!” So it was wherever he went and whatever he encountered, he would pick it up, study it and lay it aside again saying, “That’s not it!” It was not long until the commanding officer (CO) upon observing his peculiar behavior concluded the young man was crazy. The CO had his military discharge prepared. He handed it to the soldier and the solider exclaimed, “That’s it!”

That young man knew all along what he was looking for- a way out of the service. Contrary to that young man, many of us do not have a clue what we are looking for. I sometimes half- jokingly, half- seriously tell people I still do not know what I want to do when I grow up (I’m 59).

Many of us are like Solomon who looked for happiness, who looked for fulfillment in life, who

looked for the meaning and the purpose of life. Ec 1:2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.

Ec 1:14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit. Ec 2:11 Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun. Ec 2:15 Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity. Ec 5:10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity. Ec 6:12 For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun? Ec 11:8 But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity. Ec 12:8 Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.

Solomon began his book (Ec 1:2) and ended his book (Ec 12:8) with the same observation, “All is vanity”. Vanity is futility, emptiness,

uselessness and pointlessness.

Although Solomon had it all, saw it all and done it all, his life was empty. Solomon wisely concluded, “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.” (Ec 12:13-14) “Duty” is italicized meaning it was added by the translators but not in the original text. I think it is better translated if not included.

It would then read, “Fear God and keep his commandments for this is the whole of man.” Man cannot be ”whole” even if he is the richest man on earth or the wisest (as was Solomon) if he does not fear God and keep his commandments. We will always be incomplete and have an unexplainable void in our life if our life is not Christ centered and God directed.

I would urge you to look for God where you can find true satisfaction and true peace for He is near.

Paul told the Athenians who were trying to find purpose through their idol gods ”that they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us”. (Acts 17:27)

John Wilson

Many different kinds of power struggles have caused chaos over the world. Many different sin sicknesses after 67 years of not receiving the fullness of Jesus Christ. We all missed out on the Holy Ghost doctrine. Please, I say that if we face our downfall then the world will blossom out again. The Book of Acts states what's needed. Acts 10:44 Truth. Holy Ghost is for all of us. Acts 5:32, Acts 15:8, 10:38 and 1:8.

National Day of Prayer plans announced The Covington National Day of Prayer Event will be held at the Tipton County Courthouse on Thursday, May 2 at noon. The theme for this year's event is "Pray for America," emphasizing the need for individuals, corporately and individually, to place their faith in the unfailing character of their Creator, who is sovereign over all governments, authorities, and men. To further highlight the theme, the verse Matthew 12:21 has been chosen as the Scripture for this year: “In His name the nations will put their hope.”

Please join our community as we gather together to pray and seek the Lord's protection and favor on our community, region, and nation.

education

Nine questions with two principals

By FRANCE GASQUET fgasquet@covingtonleader.com

join our school.

We asked nine questions of Steve Tynes, Principal of Tipton Christian Academy (TCA), and Michael Hughes, principal at Brighton Elementary. Here are their answers: 1) How did you get involved in education? What is your background?

Hughes: Brighton Elementary School is a rural school in West Tennessee about 40 miles northeast of Memphis serving an average of 800 students annually. We have 2 Pre-K classes and departments in K-5. Our student population is predominantly white (88%). Black students comprise 10% of the student base with Hispanics making up the remaining 2%. About percent of the students in our school are economically disadvantaged (receive free or reduced meals). Brighton has always enjoyed a rich history of family support and high student achievement. Over the past five years the school’s state report card has been above average or exceptional with regard to student achievement and growth.

who graduates from or leaves TCA will fit in with other school’s curriculums and not miss a beat. It’s another reason we’re excited to start the SAT-10 achievement tests—we then can arrive at benchmark to identify where our students stand academically. We also are working towards accreditation in the next few years, specifically with the Association of Christian Schools International.

Finally, it’s the PTO, or Parent Teacher Organization. Our PTO has been wonderful in supporting us—from raising monies for the computers and new library. We are also excited about providing our students everyday with hot, healthy lunches and snacks.

Tynes: I was living with an Ecuadorean family during the summer following my freshman year. In the family I had a nineyear-old sister. I helped Hughes: The shift to the common core-her with English and we’re just now getting to the meat of what spelling and she helped it’s going to be like, but it’s going to take me with Spanish.

certain the teachers are in the best position for them. Teachers do better when they like the administration cares about them and their lives and are interested in what they are teaching. As Dr. Fite used to say, “Get the right person on the bus and put them in the right seat.”

7) Give me one word to describe your students……and why.

Tynes: Peaceful. They get along well together. They feel safe. And they are very respectful of everyone.

Hughes: Curious. They like to ask questions. How and why stuff works. We have a word of the day. These students want to know all the details about the world we live in.

8) We are sitting here 20 years from now.

Let’s reminisce about your school and the students who graduated from here….what will that conversation sound like?

Tynes: In twenty years from now, I hope it will sound like this: that the students tell us how much the school meant to them-that their time here provided a compass by which to live their lives.

Hughes: Students would remember their teachers—the care, concern and help they received from the teachers. They’d remember and talk about the good times. They’ll be attorneys, doctors, lawyers, engineers- I see these children in the middle to upper level of skilled and professional positions, able to support their families and live well— in twenty years, Brighton itself will be in a stage of growth, more people, more teachers.

9) Okay, last question: I always think of school as serious learning, but also a time to be creative and find out who you are and what you like. What important silliness have you guys participated in recently?

Tynes: Well, we had a trike-athon for St. Jude last week. I dressed up like a Christian rock star. Last year, I wore a chicken suit and died my hair blue for the same event. We also had a book fair this year, and I dressed up in a hula skirt. It was fun, and we combined reading with silliness. We are fortunate to have a lot of community involvement with our events.

Hughes: We have a 5th grade spring ball and fall dance. We dress up for different holidays. Last year, I was in jail to promote literacy. Mrs. Rose had her hair spiked orange for the book fair. We have Brighton Buddies, which is mentoring between high school students and some of our children.

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Covington senior Ashia Jones led the Lady Charger basketball program to a state tournament berth last month.

Last week, the 6-0 post player achieved something on a personal level when she signed a D-1 basketball scholarship with UT-Martin.

Jones, an all-state performer, led Covington in scoring (18.5 ppg) and rebouding (8 rpg) last season.

“She works extremely hard,” said Covington head coach Dion Real. “I've talked to a lot of coaches and she's known as a player who can guard sev-

eral different positions.”

Jones was joined by friends and family at last week's signing in the Covington High School library.

She became the first CHS girls basketball player to sign a D-1 scholarship since April Williams signed with Indiana in 2001.

While Real lauded Jones' achievements on the court, he added that she has plenty of other redeeming qualities as well.

“Off the court she's just a great kid,” Real said. “She's a leader. She's got a great personality. That makes it easy for her to market herself.”
