Controversy erupts over canine death Dog’s death prompts outrage at DA, petition for prosecution By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com Controversy erupted this week when the death of a pit bull caused activists to speak out against the district attor-

ney. The dog, a pit bull seized from her owner’s home on Sanford Road on Monday, Oct. 10, was severely malnourished and died Friday, Oct. 14. Veterinarians at Northgate Animal Hospital attempted to save her life with a blood transfusion, however the dog nicknamed Grace died during the procedure. “There’s no sense in it,” Tipton County Animal Control Officer Shane Hooks said. “These dogs, horses … they don’t de-

serve to be treated this way.” Hooks, who has worked with the shelter since 2000, has seen numerous animal cruelty cases. Deputies dispatched to the Sanford Road home, off of Hwy. 14 in the Austin Peay Elementary area, contacted him, asking him to remove the starving dog from the home. Grace was allegedly found tied to a tree; a puppy believed to be about six months old, which has been nicknamed Faith, was found with her. However, the puppy had

chewed through her rope and was eating beans from a nearby field. Hooks believes this is the only reason she has survived. News of the starving dog’s death spread like wildfire across the social networking platform Facebook this weekend, prompting news stories from several Memphis television stations this week. In those interviews, Hooks expressed frustration with the office of 25th Judicial District Attorney General Mike Dunavant, suggesting a lack of prosecution in

animal cruelty cases. “They’re not getting the justice they deserve,” Hooks said. “I have these animal cruelty cases and I get the run around because no one wants to deal with it.” Dunavant, however, disagrees. “There has been some suggestion that this office does not take such animal abuse cases seriously; the citizens of Tipton County and the 25th Judicial District can rest assured that these cases involved animal

Atoka seeks to connect Walker parks

COVINGTON 50, OBION CO. 36

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com ATOKA – City officials have announced they are applying for a grant that will connect two parks on Walker Parkway, a project that will promote public safety but cost nearly $1 million. If awarded the grant, officials say a paved pathway will connect the parks at Meade Lake and Walker Parkway and Williamsburg Drive and Walker Parkway. Under the 80/20 funding formula, the grant would allow the completion of a project that officials say is “impossible” financially. “This project is important to Atoka,” said town administrator Brian Koral. “In addition to the benefits of connecting two of the town’s parks, this project would be funded primarily with state and federal dollars, providing an outstanding return on the town’s investment.” Phase I of the project will establish a 10 feet wide paved connector between the parks. The path will allow for both pedestrian and bicycle traffic and, Koral hopes, reduce vehicle traffic near the park. “Right now there’s no safe pedestrian connectivity between these two parks,” Koral said. “We want to place more emphasis on safety.” He envisions the pathway, which will be just short of one mile in length, to be wooded, keeping as many of the existing trees as possible. “We want as natural a trail as we can get,” he said. “There aren’t a lot of established trees and we want to keep what we have.” Koral said when the parks were constructed green space was reserved for a connector. This is beneficial because, if the grant is awarded to Atoka, the entire budget can go into designing and building the path and not into acquiring land. “A lot of times that’s where a lot of the money goes,” he said. “Thankfully (the board) had the foresight to set some land aside for this.” Phase I is expected to cost an estimated $997,000, Koral said. The grant application will be submitted by Nov. SEE PARKS, PAGE A3

I-69 UPDATE

Officials working to fund I-69 project By BESSIE CHERRY Serving Publicist for the I-69 Coalition Construction on Interstate-69 is now underway in the Union City/Obion County area and is expected to be completed next year, according to Bill Revell, Tennessee chairman (and Vice-President) of the Interstate-69 Coalition. “Construction is expected to be completed on the four-mile SIU [Section of Independent Utility] by early summer 2012, with the exception of paving,” says Revell. “The pavement will not be applied to the SIU once it’s completed because other sections need to be built first.” Shelby County is also currently making construction strides on its Future I-69 Corridors. In Shelby County, I-269, a western, semi-circular subsection of I-69, encompasses former U.S. Highway 385. The Future I-269 subsection on the corridor is almost completed between Millington and Collierville. According to Revell, it is expected to be fully constructed by 2013. The I-69 corridor will run west of U.S. Highway 51 and will be broken into three sections. It will then join Interstate-240, also a Future I-69 Corridor, and will run directly through Memphis, merging into Interstate-55 at Hernando, Mississippi. The route then runs east to Tunica, Mississippi. This particular section of I-69, running from Hernando to Tunica, is complete. I-240 is currently in the process of acquiring right of way. I-69 construction lettings on I-240 are to begin later this year. Mississippi held a groundbreaking

ceremony June 23 of this year in celebration of beginning construction on one of its five I-269 subsection SIUs. According to Reanna Mayoral, of the Mississippi Department of Transportation, I-69 construction is in process on Mississippi’s last SIU; construction has begun at U.S. Highway 302, an I-269 subsection on the corridor, that will run from the existing highway to the Mississippi/Tennessee state line. As for the remaining four Mississippi I-69 SIUs, the environmental documents have been completed, but the state can not move forward with the construction process because funding is not available at this time. Revell says recent and expected upcoming budget cuts in funding for I-69 most certainly pose possible construction delays for developing SIUs throughout northwest Tennessee. The Federal Transportation Funding Bill is expected to cut funding by about 35 percent, which will cut the Tennessee Department of Transportation’s funding for the project by approximately $281 million. U.S. Senators for Tennessee, Bob Corker and Lamar Alexander, both say the federal government is doing as much as it can to fund project efforts. Corker and Alexander say that states included in the project (Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas) should step up and raise money, suggestively proposing to raise gas taxes. According to Revell, Indiana has used and is continuing to use proceeds from a commercial highway toll both in order to fund its portion of I-69 con-

struction. “By 2014, Indiana will only have approximately 50 remaining miles left to build from Bloomington to Indianapolis.” Revell said Indiana and Kentucky have hired a lobbyist in hopes of raising the funds necessary to build a bridge across the Ohio River. He says Kentucky plans to reconstruct its existing western U.S. Highways, Pennyrile Parkway and Purchase Parkway, turning them into sections on the Future I-69 corridor. “Upgrades for Kentucky’s existing highways will cost about $1 billion,” says Revell. Dan Flowers, Steering Committee chairman for I-69 says, “Little progress has been made during the past year concerning I-69 construction efforts in Arkansas. However, construction is proceeding around the Monticello area.” Flowers said Arkansas has hired a group to discuss innovative financing on how to get the project completed. Mayor Lorenz “Lo” Walker, of Bossier City, Louisiana chairman (and new President) of the I-69 Coalition, says that Louisiana is expected to reach an agreement soon concerning location for its stretch of I-69, according to Revell. “Texas has not reported any developments,” says Revell. Senator Corker has proposed a “cap act” on general spending, which if passed, could leave more money in the federal budget for transportation and infrastructure costs related to future I-69 construction efforts.

This I-69 Section of Independent Utility (SIU) is represented in orange on the I-69 map as “under construction”. Bill Revell, Tennessee chairman and Vice-President of the I-69 Coalition says, “Construction is expected to be completed on the four-mile stretch by early summer 2012, with the exception of paving.” The Obion County SIU is the only I-69 section under construction at this time, with the exception of Shelby County’s I-269 semi-circular, western subsection, represented in red. This subsection on the I-269 corridor is almost complete between Millington and Collierville. According to Revell, it is expected to be fully constructed by 2013. The remaining “proposed” stretch of I-69, represented in green, shows where I-69 will run. However, at this time, no funds are available to begin construction on the proposed route.

Continued from page A1 Tennessee’s (8th District) Congressman Stephen Fincher says that Corker’s “cap act” proposal is a good start, but we must address the issues that are causing our country to go broke. Fincher says we are at a “financial pitfall/crossroads” in this country and we take our infrastructure for granted. “The things causing the financial problems in this country are not transportation and infrastructure,” says Fincher. “We are borrowing from one program to fund another. We must be very careful to address the spending programs, such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and Defense. Then our infrastructure and highway problems will cease to exist.” Revell says if we could just get I-69 completely built, it would have an enormously positive impact on the economy, especially in northwest Tennessee. “Industries prefer to locate close by major interstates; so once I-69 is fit for transportation use, it is likely that industries will locate within some of our most impoverished counties in northwest Tennessee, providing jobs to the citizens who live in these struggling economic areas. I-69 will also be the shortest direct route between Canada and Mexico and will save millions of dollars alone, over time, in fuel consumption and emissions costs.” Revell also said that studies have shown that there is a “benefit to expenditure” ratio of 1 to 1.57 concerning the construction of 1-69, with benefits outweighing expenditures by almost 60 percent. According to Revell, approximately $28,500 has been collected so far this year to pay lobbyists for their efforts on collecting federal monies to fund I-69 construction efforts in Tennessee. Revell says the coalition is open to suggestions and/or ideas regarding fundraising for the $24 billion international highway. Dexter Muller, of the Greater Memphis Chamber, says that a new federal transportation bill is expected to include some language on funding national and international transportation projects such as I-69. Revell says, “Although there is ‘language’ in the new transportation bill supporting funding efforts, it doesn’t mean that funding will be available.” It is projected that Tennessee would need to raise $80 million a year for the next ten years in order to raise enough funds to entirely complete its portion of construction on I-69.

Dickens-style Christmas event in the works Covington Chamber of Commerce officials hope to start new tradition By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com Have you ever read Charles Dickensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; A Christmas Carol and wonder what it must have been like to live during the time of Scrooge and Tiny Tim? Or wonder what exactly is a Figgy pudding? Dickens penned A Christmas Carol in 1843, and although the story didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reach the level of success it had in England until the late 1860s in America, its influence can be found in many Christmas traditions celebrated in the United States. This Christmas season, the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future will transport the entire Historic Square in Covington back to Victorian England where those questions and more will be answered. To kick off the holiday season, the Covington-Tipton County Chamber of Commerce will bring Charles Dickensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; A Christmas Carol to life on Dec. 10 and 11. The historic town square will be transformed to look like a vintage Christmas postcard, a winter wonderland reminiscent of mid-19th century Victorian England. Colorful characters such as Scrooge, Tiny Tim, Marleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ghost and the Ghost of Christmas Past will be found mingling amongst shoppers and merchants dressed in historic attire. Christmas carolers, musicians and street performers will entertain shoppers as they stroll about the Square. Children will delight in the telling of Dickensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; timeless classic and enjoy a Victorian childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s puppet theater. Father Christmas will also be on the square for pictures. The shops around the square will be decorated in Christmas finery of days long past and traditional English fare will be offered in the Squareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restaurants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a first for the city of Cov-

ington but it certainly will become a Christmas tradition if it proves to be as popular as we believe it will,â&#x20AC;? said Covington-Tipton County Chamber of Commerce Director Lee Johnston. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How often do you have the opportunity to step back in time for a weekend, experience something special for the entire family and it not cost you anything? We want people outside the community to know what a grand community we have here in Covington. I had a guy recently tell me he spends more money to drive out of Memphis to come up here to shop because he likes the way people treat him.â&#x20AC;? The public is invited to volunteer to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;charactersâ&#x20AC;? and wander the Square. Volunteers can provide their own mid-19th century English Victorian costumes or they may rent to purchase a custom-made outfit. Volunteers are also needed sing vintage Christmas carols as members of strolling choirs. People interested in volunteering are asked to contact Mary Beasley at 4765502. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We encourage any spectators to dress in authentic English clothing of the late 1860s â&#x20AC;&#x201C; early 1870s and come out for the fun,â&#x20AC;? added Johnston. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a local resident who designs and makes period clothing for customers all over the world.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to bring our community together,â&#x20AC;? said event volunteer Ginny Robbins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To get into the Christmas spirit, to gather on the square, to shop locally.â&#x20AC;? A Dickensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Christmas will take place on Saturday, Dec. 10 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. with the lighting of the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas tree at 5 p.m. on Saturday on the courthouse lawn. The festivities continue on Sunday, Dec. 11 from noon to 5 p.m. The stores around the square will be opened during the hours of the event for holiday shopping. For more information contact Lee Johnston at the Chamber office at 4769727.

Continued from page A1 1, but notification is not expected for at least a year, meaning the earliest the project will be completed will be 2013. Once the first phase is completed, a second phase, which will extend the trail and eventually connect it to the Templeton Farms subdivision, is planned. City officials are currently soliciting letters of support, which will be submitted along with the application, from residents. A form letter is available at City Hall and online at www.townofatoka.com; letters will be accepted during the entirety of the consideration cycle.

DEATH

Continued from page A1 cruelty will be handled with the same diligence, professionalism and dedication to public safety and justice that any other criminal case receives,â&#x20AC;? Dunavant said in a press release Monday. Monday morning, as his email address and telephone number, as well as the contact information for other elected officials, including Gov. Bill Haslam and Sen. Bob Corker, was posted online by the administrators of the Justice for Grace fan page, Dunavant said his email â&#x20AC;&#x153;blew up.â&#x20AC;? The interest in the case, he said, seemed to surpass the interest and outrage in cases where children, not animals, have been abused or killed. The emails came in before the DA even knew about the case, he said. By Monday morning, sample letters to Dunavant had been posted online and petitions urging him to prosecute the dogsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; owner had been created. By Wednesday morning more than 6,200 people worldwide had signed the petition. The fan page, which is operated by people associated with Northgate Animal Hospital, shows several graphic photos of Grace, her skin taut and stretched over her bony frame. Its fan base leapt from 894 to approximate-

ly 3,400 in two days. People have been very passionate in their requests to have the dogsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; owner prosecuted and, despite the claims to the contrary, Dunavant said he is looking forward to achieving â&#x20AC;&#x153;some measure of justiceâ&#x20AC;? for the abused dogs. Hooks said the media firestorm took him by surprise; he said he is hoping not only for justice for Grace and Faith but also a better working relationship with the district attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. The dogsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; owner, Shawn Beard, was cited into court, warrants charging her with aggravated animal cruelty and neglect for Grace and animal cruelty and neglect for Faith. The initial court date was set for Friday, Oct. 21, however it was reset due to scheduling conflicts with DAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. Beard called the animal shelter Tuesday morning to ask Hooks for an update on her dogs. When Hooks told her Grace died, Beard cried. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She told me she really loved those dogs,â&#x20AC;? he said, pursing his lips and sighing. Beard also told him a snake bit the dog on Sunday, the day before she was taken into the custody of the shelter.

GUEST EDITORIAL

Shame is good Watching the news Monday evening I saw the highlights of Bill Clinton’s 65th Birthday party. It culminated in Lady Gaga wearing a Marilyn Monroe wig and an “earth tone” outfit, of which she stripped part of it off while singing a sexually suggestive song with “Bill” in the lyrics. Chelsea obviously knew the words as she was singing along and Hillary was applauding and laughing as if there was nothing wrong with this picture. I can see now why Bill Clinton saw nothing wrong with his Monica fling. What ever happened to shame? I have noticed that over the years more and more folks seem to see nothing wrong with much of what we were taught to consider shameful in our youth. JIM HARDIN Of course, there’s nothing new under the sun (ask the folks of Sodom and Gomorrah), but I am disturbed at the growing lack of shame people sense for clear wrongdoing. Oh, they may seem ashamed when caught, but I think the shame is often in the getting caught, not the shameful act. Shame is becoming rare and I believe we can tie it to an ever increasing lack of consequences for our actions. When someone contracts a deadly disease from irresponsible sex or drug use, we call them victims and provide support to help them not feel as if they played a role in their situation. When another irresponsibly spends on consumer credit, we offer them easy bankruptcy and opportunities to get back on the credit track quicker. We had baseball fans lobbying to get Pete Rose in the Hall of Fame despite the Hall of Shame gambling he was involved in on his own team. Many professional ball players often get caught in shameful acts, but as long as they win games, the owners, coaches and fans give them a pass. We continue to hand out extended unemployment checks to those who have either not bothered to find work in 2 years or refuse to take jobs they consider below them (I guess I was a fool to be a garbage collector after being laid off a lucrative oilfield job in 1981). I’ll never forget at the age of 14 when my father’s business went under, we lost our two new cars and were soon to lose our home. With six children, there were eight mouths to feed and we ate a lot of pork-nbean sandwiches. My parents were both very proud people and not keen on any kind of government assistance. One day, my mother broke down and went to the place to sign up for food stamps. She got enough for one big grocery run so we ate well for about a week. The day she came home with the groceries she told me what she had to do and broke down and cried. She was ashamed. I don’t think she ever told my dad how she got those groceries, but she never went back for more food stamps. Now, many of you are probably thinking that she should not have been ashamed, but it was that sense of shame that drove my Dad to find a menial job in order to work his way back up, and it took years. It was my mother’s sense of shame that stuck with me so that when I was laid off in 1981, while others went straight to the unemployment line, I found and took whatever job I could to avoid a government handout. That sense of shame has stuck with me so that I have never felt a sense of entitlement. If I was going to have something, it was up to the grace of God and my two hands to work for it. Shame is good. It keeps you working, honoring your commitments, faithful in marriage, and will ensure that Lady Gaga will not sing a song about you.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Fair share Should everyone pay their fair share of federal income tax? This is a legitimate question proposed by President Obama. It seems, however, the administration directs its call for fairness only to the wealthy. But what about the many wage-earners that pay no income tax at all? The latest information shows that figure at 47%. The total tax burden is levied on the remaining 53%. In fact, 70-80% of that burden is shared only by 5 people out of every 100. One person in every one

hundred pays over 1/3 of total taxes collected by the federal government. So, again, let’s talk fairness. To target only the wealthiest among us is a form of discrimination. Our Constitution forbids discrimination. Furthermore, the wealthy are the job-providers. To continue to punish these highachievers seems like killing the goose that lays the golden egg. As we should close loop-holes that provide opportunities for corporations like General Electric to enjoy tax-free status, so should we at least re-examine the causes that permit 47% of our wage-earners

to avoid paying their fair share. Rather than more tax dollars from the few we need to include more tax-payers. Wealthy people like Warren Buffet, Hollywood elites, and sports figures are welcomed to voluntarily pay more taxes. Such a patriotic gesture would identify them as grateful recipients of the bountiful blessings our nation (under God) has provided them. Disclaimer: My percentages may not be exact but the message remains the same. Bill Wallace, Covington

world--116,000 jobs in Tennessee are related to selling our manufactured goods to people in other countries. In 2010 alone, Tennessee exported nearly $900 million in goods to South Korea, Panama and Colombia, despite the trade barriers these three agreements will get rid of. Similar trade agreements passed in 2004 helped increase what Tennessee sells to Chile by 416 percent and to Singapore by 195 percent, according to the International Trade Administration. Millions of Americans are hurting in this economy and need work now, and, with the first step of passing these trade agreements done, Congress can turn to making it easier to find good private-sector jobs. Now Congress can take steps to reform our tax code and get rid of bad regulations to free up American businesses to hire, and get working on entitlement reform to lower our job-killing debt.

▪ Starting too late — As an investor, you’ll find that time is one of your greatest allies. The earlier you start saving and investing for your goals, the better your chances of attaining them. “Save early and save often” may sound like a cliché, but it’s good advice. ▪ Taking a “time out” from investing — Whether it’s a market slump, a political trauma, a natural disaster or some other event, you can always find a reason to head to the investment sidelines for a while until things cool off, straighten out or return to what seems like “normal.” Depending on your goals, not participating in the market may cause you to miss out on any opportunities that the market can present. At times, it can be tough to stay invested, but over the long run, a steady, disciplined approach can be a good strategy. Halloween comes and goes in a single day. But by steering clear of these menacing investment moves, you can help take some of the fear out of investing and make it a more productive experience.

Mt. Carmel-Clopton Elaine Watkins So glad to be back! Been to Mexico, Belize and Honduras since I wrote. Wonderful cruise on Norweigan with 12 wonderful gals from church. Eating, shopping, reading, sightseeing, boatriding and ruins-viewing. Saw crocodiles, iguanas, bats, howler monkeys, mangroves and shipwrecks. Danced with the native folks and listened to lots of music. Laughed at comedians and was amazed by acrobats and magicians. Took seasick pills twice, both on the Mississippi River, coming and going. Went through a tropical depression and took another seasick pill but that’s part of it. Again, glad to be back and see the family. I brought Lyla little hula skirt with a bikini top and can’t wait to see it on her. Todd Townsend came home from the hospital on the Friday before we left and James said he was at church Sunday. I’m so

glad been worried about his back injuries from a fall, and subsequent surgery. Jeff Hanks is also recovering from surgery and Grant Edmonds is in rehab now. Fay Hazlerig took a spill Sunday night at church and has stitches and stapes in her head. Ouch! She says she’s sore but OK. Little Lexie Matlock, who is one month older than Lyla, broke her arm recently. But she’s going on like nothing’s wrong. The Birthday Party at Covington Care will be on Oct. 22 at 2 p.m. Happy Birthday for two weeks goes to Aaron Speight, Grant Edmonds and Zach Kidd on Oct. 13, to Carolyn Whaley-14, to Ron Chaney-15, to Bonnie Holbrook-16, Abby Edmonds-19, to Wayne Dalrymple-20 and to Rachel Coats on the 22nd! Happy Anniversary toChris and Michelle Laxton and to Lee and Paulette Graham on the

20th. Clothing Giveaway sponsored by the youth Nov. 12. Sympathy is extended to the Thornton and Dabney families at this time in the passing of Marsha’s husband, Rhea. She and her family are in my prayers. Also sympathy goes to the Lucado family in the passing of “Miss” Helen, and to so many more. I am taking a Cake Decorating Class at Dyersburg State and love it! Using lots of tips and have learned to write great class. Before I left on the cruise we celebrated Clint’s birthday with peanut butter cake. All of us and Courtney Gurley’s family had a big time till we wanted milk with our cake and I was out. Happy Birthday again, Clint. At the Munford City Hall the Trustees office will be collecting taxes on Oct. 24, 26 and 28. This week’s Farm Report: Some breakdowns and a little rain and fog

kept the boys of the field some while I was gone, but we have a tiny bit of cotton left and just two or three fields of beans and the combine will be back in the barn and picker will wait for scrapping. It’s been a good year and we are blessed. This week’s Farmer’s Almanac Quote: “Flying leaves announce a freeze." The leaves aren’t turned much yet but the cold snap this week will start it. Thirties at night for a couple of nights. I’m a sissy - got my gas turned on this morning! This week’s “Put a Smile On Your Face” - Why is “phonics” not spelled the way it sounds?

150 YEARS AGO: AUTUMN 1861

The Civil War in Tipton County By RUSSELL BAILEY Tipton County Historian Captain Montgomery Lynch reported on the building of earthworks and batteries at Fort Pillow on Oct. 18, 1861: “We are now progressing very well, have about 1,400 hands though there is yet much work to be done. Col. Williamson does very well and I think his appointment the best thing that has been done in that way. He says that if he could have a steam boat to send to the lower river counties of Mississippi that he could get 1,000 more hands.” William G. Stevenson of Walker’s 2d Tennessee Infantry recalled blockading the Mississippi at the fort: “The river was blockaded a sort distance below Fort Pillow in a novel, but not very efficient manner. Flatboats were anchored in the river about 100 yards apart, and heavy chain-cables stretched across them. This was intended to stop the boats which should attempt to run past the fort, until the land batteries could sink them. This all did very well, until a rise in the river, when the boats lifted the anchors, broke the chains, floated away down the river, and stuck on a bar several miles below. This blockade was facetiously called by the men, ‘Pillow’s trot-line (after General Gid Pillow).’” (The anchor was later moved to Columbus, Ky. and today part of it is on display at ColumbusBelmont State Park.) John Pippin was a 21year old native of North Carolina when he enlisted in Hill’s Cavalry, Co. B, 7th Tennessee Regiment. He died of sickness at Columbus, Ky. on Oct. 19, 1861. His body was sent back to Tipton County for burial. The death of Pippin marked the first fatality suffered by a Tipton cavalry soldier. A Memphis newspaper reported on the burial of the Confederate dead at Columbus: “That part of the cemetery where they bury soldiers is immediately back of our company, the Continentals; so we see all the funerals, and there are enough of them, I am sorry to say. Some of the poor fellows who lose their lives in endeavoring to serve their country are brought, plainly boxed, in an army wagon, with no more attendants than are necessary to perform the last offices; their graves are left unmarked, and soon the rains will wear away even the poor mounds of dirt which mark their last rest-

ing place. Other funerals are largely attended, and the obsequies performed with fitting solemnity. I shall not soon forget the one I saw the other day. A soldier of an Arkansas regiment was buried; his young wife and child were at the funeral; they tried to prevent the widow from coming, but it was useless. The screaming of the poor thing, as the chaplain prayed and they filled up the grave, and her sobs and moans as she left, one big-whiskered, roughlooking soldier carrying her baby, and another supporting herself, were truly moving, and brought the tear to many an eye unused to the melting mood.” Reverend David H. Cummins, Pastor of the Covington Presbyterian Church visited the men of Company C, 9th Tennessee Infantry at Columbus on Oct. 20. He preached sermons in the morning and that night. Colonel Cadmus M.

Wilcox, formerly of Covington, was promoted a Confederate Brigadier General on Oct. 21. His brigade near Manassas, Virginia consisted of the following infantry regiments: 9th, 10, 11th Alabama, 10th Mississippi, 38th Virginia and Thomas’ Virginia Artillery. John A. Wilcox, an attorney and older brother of Cadmus, was a candidate for Representative in the regular Confederate Congress from San Antonio, Texas. John was married to Mary Emily Donelson of the Hermitage, a grand niece of President and Mrs. Andrew Jackson. Augustus Hill Garland, a first cousin of Cadmus and John Wilcox, was serving as a Congressman from Arkansas in the Provisional Confederate Congress. Garland, a native of Covington, was a prominent lawyer as well.

Brighton Dunlap Simonton Retirement Debe Hello My Friends, I was a little surprised with the Center cool weather. The rain is a

blankets for the weather. The boosters have a spirit trailer with items for sale at the school on Friday’s at lunch and at the games. The end of the first 9 weeks of school has finally arrived. The reports will be coming out soon. The school has a mass phone call they put out before scheduled calendar events. If you are not getting these calls please call the school and make sure your most used phone number is on the list. Also, it is automated so don’t just hang up. This is the last day I will write without knowing what the gender is to our new addition. Hannah and Ryan will go to the doctor and get a view Friday. They are taking the grandparents out to eat for a revealing party. The birthday’s coming up are Hannah Proffitt Cooper, Crystal Gray, Chad House, Brittany Nix, Laura Grooms, and CH Sullivan. Happy Birthday to all of you. I went out to the Morrison Cemetery last week and my son, Harrison’s, floral arrangement of a Superman sign was taken off the spray stand. I have had one there since he

passed away four years ago. Nothing else was missing from his gravesite. Also, my in-laws are right next to him and their spray was taken too. It is a lovely floral topper with flower hydrangeas from my daughters wedding. It is horrible to take things from the grave of a loved one. We go there in remembrance of them and to release our grief. Please, if you know who did this just get them to return it, no questions asked. I would like to clear up a misconception about Mormons! The name of the church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints. Notice the name in there. They believe Christ is the son of God, born of the virgin Mary and of the Holy Spirit. They also teach lessons as well from the Bible. They believe that Sunday’s are the Sabbath day of rest. Christ died on the cross for the atonement of our souls. This is how we are “saved” through Baptism, symbolizing our cleansing of spirit. If you wonder what a Mormons believes, ASK ONE. Love to you all, Debe

Hello everybody, hope you’re all doing well this week. We’re all enjoying this extremely nice weather. Taking nice long walks around campus, sitting out under the big oak trees and tellin’ lies, (we do a lot of that here! Ha! Ha!). We had been enjoying the “Indian Summer” as they call it in Wyoming, but I think the cooler weather is creeping up on us. We were so very excited how well our “Fish Fry” went Saturday night at the First Baptist Church in Covington. It started at 5 p.m. with fish, hushpuppies, French fries, cole slaw and all the other goodies to enjoy while we sat and listen to “Three for Thee” singing their wonderful gospel music. They are three men who love the Lord with all their hearts and are just bubbling over with the gift that God gave to them to share with like-minded believers. They do still have CD’s for sale, so if anyone is interested, just give me a call at 476-7014 and I’ll hook you up! We’re also so very glad we were able to have “New Spirit” join us as well. Mr. Reese, Ms. Jimmie Kay and Mode were fantastic, as usual. Also a very special thank you to Mode for not only supplying the music, but Mr. Bill told me that Mode caught the majority of the fish. Thank you Mode from the bottoms of our full tummies. That was some good fish. Thank you to all of you men and women at First Baptist Church for all your dedication to Dunlap in making this fall fundraiser a success. A lot of sacrifice goes into events such as this and I just want you to know we appreciate you. Thank you Mr. Bill Rice for all you do. May God bless you! I would also like to thank the Dunlap Retirement Center’s Board of Directors for doing a great job as well. I have the greatest board ever this year, but then I say that every year. What a joy to work with likeminded Christians such as they are. Let’s see, we have two resident birthdays this month, Mr. Max Gibbs was on the 11th, this past Tuesday and the other one is Ms. Mary Moffatt, today the 20th. Happy Birthday you two. We love you both so much. God has been so very good to us here at Dunlap. We are so blessed! We have all of our rooms rented but two, as I have another lady coming next week that I am so excited about because she’s my cousin. I’ll let you know who it is next week. Better not give it away before she gets here. Then I also have one other lady that should be coming in just a few days as well and that will put us down to one, praise the Lord! Until next week, always remember that God knows your name and He loves you. So give somebody a big hug!

welcome though. I know a lot of people headed to east Tennessee for fall break, but I think we are going to have a very pretty one too. Christy Maxwell, from the Trustees Office, called this morning to tell everyone that the Munford City Hall will be accepting your property tax payment this month. They will be there, Oct. 24, Oct. 26, and Oct. 28. The county is trying to get some of these taxes paid so that come February there won’t be such an abundance of people trying to get theirs in. The hours are 8:30 - 4 p.m. The Brighton High School football team will be hosting Cordova High from Memphis. It starts at 7 p.m. on Friday. The team is on quiet a roll with a great record of only one loss. Come out and see them play. The Boosters have some great new spirit wear items including, hoodies, pajama pants, and shirts.

New Miss MSU to be selected Oct. 21 STARKVILLE, Miss.--Nearly a dozen students from around the state and region are contestants Oct. 21 for the 2011 Miss Mississippi State University Pageant, including 2009 Brighton High School graduate Loren Dean. Dean, a MSU junior, is no stranger to scholarship pageants. In 2009, she was crowned Miss Tipton County and in 2010 she was selected as Miss Tennessee Soybean. She is the daughter of Scott and Marcie Dean of Brighton. The annual selection of the land-

grant institution’s representative to the Miss Mississippi Pageant begins at 7 p.m. in the Bettersworth Auditorium of Lee Hall. Competition categories include personal interview, swim wear, talent, evening wear, and on-stage question. Tickets are $10; $5 for MSU students with valid identification. “Miss MSU represents our university throughout the year as a spokesperson as she competes for the title of Miss Mississippi and, possibly, Miss America,” said pageant adviser Hei-

die Lindsey. “At this year’s pageant, we also will be announcing the ‘People’s Choice Award’ for the contestant receiving the most ‘votes,’” the Colvard Student Union associate director said. Lindsey explained that audience members will have the opportunity to “vote” by contributing paper money on behalf of their favorite contestant. “The voting will begin when the doors open at 6 p.m. and continue until the start of the talent competition,” she added.

By Sherri Onorati sonorati@covingtonleader. com After noticing a lack of warm clothing on its food pantry recipients during the winter months, the Bread for Life Food Pantry, a ministry ran by the First United Methodist Church in Covington, is beginning a coat closet to help meet those needs of local residents also. Share the Warmth will provide a warm coat to people with none. Beginning in November, people who use the food pantry or other emergency assistance services offered by the church, will be offered a winter coat if needed. There will be a one coat per person limit. To begin the new coat ministry, the church is asking for donations of gently used clean coats, jackets and fleece hoodies in all sizes. People who would like to donate winter outerwear can drop off the items at the First United Methodist Church office at 145 W. Church Ave., Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. A receipt for a charitable donation will be given upon request.

Continued from A9 We are still having apples. We have put apples sauce in the freezer. We have finally gathered all the yellow apples. We still have a few red apples on the tree. In the beginning I thought the yellow apples were the best but since the red apples finally got ripe, they are really good. We have one of our refrigerators stashed full of both kinds of apples. They are so good I have been eating two a day. We love our home here in Burlison, but we sure do miss seeing the Mighty Mississippi River every day. We also miss all the people at Randolph. Becky and Franklin Pace and Eva Phillips, you three are on Elm Grove Methodist Church’s prayer list. Get well soon you three! Report on our place down at Tunica Lake. Well, people have broken into the house, took the washer, dryer, refrigerator, the air conditioner, the bath tub, the sink, commodes, and traded the stuff into the scrap yard… I guess. Someone has broken out the windows and broken the

doors down. We had put in an electric stair lift, because it was 20 steps to get up to the house. They even took the window blinds, curtains and the curtain rods. They also took the bed frames. We had cleaned out the ruined mattresses, pillows, etc. They did leave some of the pictures that I had put on the walls. They did leave the dishwasher, of course it is ruined anyway. We also put up two new glass/screen doors and they took them. We have the best view on the lake. It is the best site on the lake, we think. We are waiting to see what the owner of the lake property is going to do with it. Every thing down there has been condemned. Our son is living in a FEMA mobile home. It is really a nice home. They completely furnished it. What a blessing. He really wants to live on the lake. The place where he lives is close to the new pipe company that is going to be opening soon. It would really be nice to get a job at this new place. He could almost walk to work. Love & Prayers.

Chargers storm past Obion Central Big game against Milan up next

By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com A game story leads with that pivotal, game-changing moment. What to do when there were enough of those moments in third-ranked Covington’s 50-36 District 13-AA come-from-behind win at Obion County Friday to fill Sports Center’s nightly Top Ten Plays list? Easy. Ask the coach. Marty Wheeler had a ready answer. “It had to be the touchdown right before

the half,” Wheeler said as he smiled. He was reliving a 40-yard Britt Dunn-toShelton Lyons strike with 11.3 ticks on the board that pulled a somewhat reeling Charger team to within 22-14 going to the locker room. Wheeler offered that he might have unwittingly made the best coaching decision of his life leading to that touchdown. “There were 40 seconds left in the half and they kicked it out of bounds,” he said. “I thought to myself that we need to make something happen . . . So I made them re-

kick instead of taking a knee and going to the locker room. We got a good return to midfield and then a run to their 40. We clocked the ball and then they set up in a perfect defense for the pass play and Britt and Shelton delivered.” Deliver they did, the whole team, on both sides of the ball. With 38 seconds remaining in the first half, CHS trailed 22-7. From that point, the Chargers (7-1 overall, 5-0 District 13-AA) outscored the Rebels 43SEE CHS, PAGE B2

Still alive

Cougars defeat JNS to remain in playoff race By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Matt Saunders is the kind of head coach who tries to tell his players like it is. So heading into Friday night's District 13-AAA home tilt with Jackson North Side, he made it clear that a win was necessary to keep Munford's playoff aspirations alive. His team responded with a smothering defensive effort that produced a 29-7 win. “I told them this was a mustwin game,” said Saunders, whose team improved to 3-5 Soccer, volleyball, overall, and more importantly BMS football 2-2 in the district. “We didn't B2,3 want this to be the end of the year. I've been preaching that this is not the end, but the beginning.” Munford's defense held North Side (2-6, 0-3) to just 76 total yards and three first downs, but the game was still hanging in the balance until the third quarter. Midway through the third, Munford junior Antonio Moore came up with an acrobatic, one-handed interception at the Munford 35 to end a JNS drive. The Cougar offense responded with a time-consuming drive that ended with a 5-yard touchdown run by Derek Howell on a direct snap to give Munford a 22-0 lead. Early in the fourth quarter, senior Nicholas Ecker

Cards keep rolling By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Hardin County put up a little bit of a fight Friday night against Brighton, but in the end the Cardinals had way too much firepower. The Tigers scored late in the second quarter to pull within 21-7 at the half. Brighton had a forceful response, however, scoring two quick touchdowns in the third quarter before going on to win the District 13-AAA contest at home, 42-7. Kendall Adkisson, who was under heavy pressure all night, managed to find Jordan Lambert on a 25-yard touchdown pass to get the Tigers (2-6 overall, 0-3 district) into the locker room only down by two scores. But in the third, Brighton's Greg Starks scored on a 6-yard run and Ricky Foster scored his third touchdown of the game, this one on a 55-yard interception return for a touchdown, as Brighton put the game away. Foster, a recent Arkansas State commitment, had another strong game. With the Cardinals already leading

7-0, he took a short pass from Brady Stewart and weaved through Hardin County's defense for a 70-yard touchdown. Early in the second quarter he capped another Brighton scoring drive with a 12-yard touchdown catch to put his team up 21-0. He finished with three catches for 85 yards. Stewart also enjoyed a big night, completing 13 of 21 passes for 239 yards and three touchdowns. Chance Sampson capped off Brighton's scoring in the fourth quarter with a 26-yard touchdown catch. Bryan Dawson was Brighton's leading receiver with four catches for 81 yards. Starks got the Cardinals' first touchdown on a 5-yard run. Antonio Dickerson led Brighton's rushing attack with 116 yards on three carries. The Cardinals (7-1, 3-0) will host Cordova Friday night in a non-district game. On Oct. 28 Brighton will host Dyer County for the district title.

Lady Cougars stay alive; CHS, BHS fall By JEFF IRELAND, STEVE HOLT jireland@covingtonleader.com The Lady Cougars didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the Region 7-AAA volleyball title they wanted Tuesday night at home, but they did stave of elimination and advance to the sectionals. After beating Arlington in the semifinals, Munford fell to Bartlett in the title match, 25-18, 15-25, 2513, 25-19. Set four was close. Bartlett and Munford were tied at 12-12 before the Lady Panthers went on a 8-2 run to take contgrol. Munford got as close as 21-16, but saw Bartlett pull away down the stretch. The Lady Cougars looked strong in set two. Sami Jo Schulz got a kill on set point to win that set, but it was all Bartlett after that.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just not jelling right now,â&#x20AC;? said Munford head coach Nina Makris. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we come together as a team and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re communicating, we can be a really good team. When we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we are not.â&#x20AC;? Munford will have a chance to advance to a second straight state tournament today. The Lady Cougars will play at District 14-AAA champ Houston in a sectional match. Brighton saw its season come to an end against Bartlett in the semifinals, 25-23, 25-12, 25-13. In other volleyball action: Covingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lady Charger volleyball squad entered the district tourney as the No. 2 seed and won their opening round match against South Gibson on Oct. 10 in three sets. Iesha Carruthers and Allie Moss led the way

CHS

Continued from B1 14 while amassing 600 yards of total offense. Three Covington backs broke the century mark on the ground. Johnston White led the way with 17 carries for 223 yards and a score. Terence Pierson returned to full strength with 161 yards on 17 carries and two touchdowns and Colliar Robinson pounded Obion for 142 yards on 14 carries and a touchdown. A total of 52 carries for 531 yards. Dunn had a big night at quarterback. He was 3 of 6 passing for 69 yards and two touchdowns, both of which were huge. The second was a 15-yarder caught by Carlos Burton on a fourth and 4 with 4:51 left in the game that put the Chargers up by 14. Dunn also recovered a fumble in the end zone for a touchdown in the first period that tied the score at 7 just four minutes into the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The TD before the half woke us up,â&#x20AC;? said Wheeler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The crowd and the atmosphere had

us a little stunned up to that point. We had been knocked to the mat early and had to regroup. I credit the coaches and kids for not panicking.â&#x20AC;? Tyrone Tipton had an interception for the Chargers that ended the Rebelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (7-1, 4-1) final scoring threat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The defense stood up when it counted,â&#x20AC;? Wheeler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They found a way.â&#x20AC;? Next up for Covington is a District 13-AA game Friday at Milan (7-1, 5-0), a team that has lost only two home games in the last eight years. One of them was to Covington in 2004 and the other to Huntingdon two weeks ago. The winner will most likely claim the district title.

put the game on ice when he picked off his third pass of the year and returned it 30 yards for a touchdown. Munford built a 16-0 lead with two minutes left in the second quarter when Howell, the recipient of a reverse hand-off, hit senior quarterback Stephen Stewart in the endzone for a 4-yard touchdown pass. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That play really boosted our momentum,â&#x20AC;? said Stewart, who completed 9 of 18 passes 141 yards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That kind of took their heart out. They couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get anything going after that.â&#x20AC;? Munford scored on its first possession of the game when senior Cedric Williams scored on a 4-yard touchdown run. Later in the quarter a snap over the head of JNS quarterback Martavious Love resulted in a safety and a 9-0 Munford lead. The Indiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lone score of the game came on an 87-yard kick-off return by Mario Rogers, but the game had long been decided at that point. Munford secured a third-place finish in District 13-AAA with a win. The Cougars were winless in district play last season. The Cougars will be looking for a wild card berth into the Class 5A playoffs. How the team fares in its two remaining games â&#x20AC;&#x201C; against Frayser tomorrow and Westwood on Oct. 28 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; could decide whether or not the Cougars will make the postseason for the first time since 2007. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody picked us last (in the district),â&#x20AC;? Saunders said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This proves a lot to everybody â&#x20AC;Ś We left everything on the field tonight.â&#x20AC;?

with eight and seven kills respectively. Hannah Clifton chipped in with four aces to send CHS to the second round where they fell in three sets to Crockett County, ending their season way too soon to suit coach Erica Jackson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crockett is a smart team with a smart coach,â&#x20AC;? Jackson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They came out focused and began communicating from the start, something we did not do.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I need to do more trial and error and figure a way to get the girls to talk on every play regardless of the score,â&#x20AC;? she said post game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My first year coaching at CHS has been a memorable one. â&#x20AC;&#x153; Moss was named to the Best of the West and all-district teams. Carruthers, Clifton and Autumn Glenn were named honorable mention.

Wildlife Chatter by Arnold Bull Are we prepared archery deer hunters? Yes, each man is different and will carry different things into the woods with him whether it is archery/deer season, muzzleloader/deer season or gun/deer season or any other seasons. However, there are a few staples that should be included. Normally, we made sure that we got our license, gun and ammo or bow and arrows, orange hat and vest or camo hat and vest and a good place to hunt. First of all, read the TWRA Hunting Guide. It takes a little time but could save you bunches when it comes to paying fines for not knowing the guidelines, regulations and/or rules. Secondly, if you are going to hunt alone, do what the pilots do: file a “flight plan” with someone. Tell them where you are going to hunt and when you should be back and give them your cell phone number. Then, if something goes wrong, you will already have a back up plan in place to help out or solve your problem. However, in any event, make sure you call your source back and cancel that “flight plan” when you are out of the woods and at home. You will run out of “flight plan partners” if you do not notify your buddy and he has gone to looking for you. Separate your gear into two groups. Let’s start with the second group and do it first because it will consist of most of your big items. Let’s call it the truck group. Things that you may need but do not need to carry on your person. You can leave these items in the truck. These items should consist of a battery booster (ever

left your lights on, unintentionally?); tow strap, chain or rope (to get you or your buddy out of a ditch); a can of “fix a flat”; a couple of quarts of oil; your larger source of water; and your larger supply of snack food. These items should be left in the truck, stowed away, (Not the water or snack food. You should rotate these items out on a regular basis.) and any other items that make for a safe and dependable round trip. Write the items on a list titled truck group. You can occasionally check it for updates and replacements. In making up the next list, keep in mind what you will not only need in the deer stand, but what you will need if you bag a deer. Next group let’s call it the pack group. These are the items that we will want to carry with us into the woods. First item should be a sharp knife and the second item should be a knife sharpener. If you do not know how to sharpen a knife, ask someone to show you. Next is a rope, whistle, bottled water, sensible snack food, monocular, compass, deer call, rattle bag and scent bag, plus other items that will make up your personal preference. When you shoot your deer you will need the knife first off to field dress the deer. Then the rope could be used to drag the deer out of the woods and/or hang the deer up to make field dressing easier. Get the truck and back it up under the deer. The rope does not have to be the size you would need to pull your truck out of a ditch, but something light that would not cut into your shoulders get-

ting the deer back to the truck. The whistle is for emergency communication. Three gun shots or three shrill whistle blasts are the standard emergency communication signals. Most whistles are light and will not add much weight to our pack bag. You will always need water. Carry your own bottle(s) of water with you because you will need the water sometime during the trip. If you are dragging a deer out of the woods, the water will be essential to continue your efforts. Carry about 20 ounces in the first time if you have not been carrying water and watch your consumption and judge the amount of water by past experience. Snack foods will be a matter of personal choice and I like apples, but bananas are okay. A stick of beef jerky or cheese and crackers or oranges, as well as tangerines, are good too. First aid kit with a few band aids, some adhesive tape , gauze pads and a few antiseptic wipes are the basics. Here is a tip: carry a gauze pad soaked in household bleach and secured in a small tightly closed empty medicine bottle to offset wasp or bee stings. All of these things should fit into a small pack or pouch and you may want to add some additional items to personalize your list. Enjoy your hunting experience and be careful out there.

Alex Cook, 10-year-old son of Tim Cook and Audra Max of Covington, killed his first deer, a buck, with a bow while hunting with his uncle, Steve Newman, on Sept. 24.

COMMENTARY

The reference point of truth By REV. FREEMAN WEEMS First Baptist Church of Atoka

Perhaps one of the most perplexing things about our society today is its seeming rejection of absolutes, especially moral absolutes. Just recently one of the largest Presbyterian groups in the country ordained its first “gay” minister. The minister who delivered the sermon at the ordination had been adamantly opposed to ordaining homosexuals (the Bible uses the term sodomite) to the ministry, but he changed. For all intents and purposes, this was equivalent to ordaining an openly adulterous man to the ministry. How does something like this happen? Someone moved the moral goalposts. The absolute of right and wrong was marred for the sake of emotion and, perhaps, the fear of seeming to be “out of step” with mainstream thought and practice.

Maybe we should just accept the fact that walking with God will put us out of step with the world. The Bible tells us that if we love the world we do not love the Father. There is not a one of us who can point to ourselves and say that we are without sin. So we are not talking about looking down on others from some superior moral height. No, what must be done is that all be held to the same standard. That will not happen on earth, but it will take place when the Lord judges the hearts and lives of all people. Morality is not a relevant matter, but rather one of absolutes. The Lord has told us that sexual activity outside of marriage is wrong. He set the standard for marriage in the Garden of Eden. That standard is one man and one woman. No matter how hard that may be for someone to accept, it is the truth. As the homes and pulpits of America fall silent on moral mat-

ters, or adjust them to fit the day and hour, we will continue to see a moral decline. It is hard enough to fight our own flesh, our old nature that loves sin as much as it ever did, but when there is no standard by which we can judge ourselves there is no hope of correcting our moral shortcomings. Absolutes are those markers, those reference points of truth, by which we can examine our life and get it back in line with the Word of God. Pandering to the flesh, excusing our sin, and haven’t we all been guilty of that, will only serve to further the deviation from godliness to ungodliness. The Bible is clear that there will be a decline and apostasy in the last days. It may well be that we are seeing the fulfillment of prophecy but are so involved in daily life that we are missing the broader implications. What are we to do? We are commanded to stand fast. We are commanded to hold forth the truth in love that we may rescue some from hell. May the Lord help us to do so.

CROSSWORD

ÂŠ 2009 Hometown Content

October is National Popcorn Popping Month! While every day is a great day for celebrating popcorn, The Popcorn Board (popcorn.org) chose the month of October because of the popcorn harvest which takes place each fall in the Midwest. Each year when the new crop is harvested, it reminds people popcorn will always be the naturally fun snack for the entire family.

LOOK • LISTEN • SMELL The National Transportation Safety Board states that pipelines provide the highest level of public safety as compared to other transportation modes. Every day natural gas pipelines safely carry one of the world’s most reliable, efficient and environmentally friendly fuels to businesses, homes and neighborhoods like yours, Preventing pipeline emergencies is important to Mason gas. We are part of this community and we’re committed to delivering natural gas safely to our neighbors. As good neighbors do, you can help, here’s how. Though Natural gas pipeline incidents are rare, you should know these signs. Look. Blowing dirt, bubbling water, dry spots in moist areas or dead plants surrounded by green plants may indicate a natural gas leak. Listen. If you hear a hissing sound near a gas appliance or pipe it may be natural gas leaking. Smell. Be aware of the distinctive, rotten egg-like smell of natural gas. You should take action anytime you detect even a small amount of this odor.

Don’t break the law- call before you dig Did you know that excavation work, including digging in the yard and plowing, is the most common cause of natural gas pipeline damage. Before beginning excavation of any kind, state law requires that you call Tennessee One Call at 811 so all utility lines can be clearly marked by professionals prior to any digging. This is a free call so don’t break the law. If you suspect a leak take these actions: 1. Leave. If you ever detect a natural gas leak LEAVE IMMEDIATELY. Don’t try to find or stop the leak. 2. Do not touch anything electrical before you leave or use a telephone even a cell phone. Do not smoke, turn appliances on or off or operate any vehicle or equipment that could create a spark. 3. Call. Once you are out of the suspected area, immediately call Mason gas at 294-3525. If the smell of natural gas is strong, also call 911. For more information on natural gas safety call Mason gas at 294-3525

Brighton moves on, Lady Cougars fall in soccer action By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Brighton controlled Monday’s District 13-AAA semifinal game at home with Jackson North Side, but could not manage to find the back of the net in regulation or overtime. But has been the case most of the season, the Lady Cardinals pulled out the game in dramatic fashion. Hannah “Mo” Whitefoot, Alex Lowe and Courtney Carpenter each scored for Brighton in the shootout and Lady Cardinal keeper Amy Janes took care of the rest as Lady Cardinals kept their season alive with a 1-0 win. Brighton will now host Dyer County today at 6 p.m. for the district tourney title. The winner will host a re-

gion game on Tuesday, while the loser travels to the winner of the District 14-AAA. Through the first 80 minutes of the game, Brighton possessed the ball more than 75 minutes. The Lady Cardinals had 15 shots on goal and several that rolled across the face of the goal. North Side did not have a shot on goal until the shootout. Janes stopped three of North Side’s four shots in the shootout. Munford saw its season come to an end Tuesday night at home against Dyer County. After a scoreless regulation and overtime, Dyer County pulled the game out in a shootout. Dyer County converted all four its shots, while Munford made just two of four.

TRA falls to JCS

Jackson Christian got its offense going early Friday night at home against Tipton-Rosemark Academy. The Eagles took a 28-0 lead at the half and went on to a 42-7 Division IIA-West 2 win. JCS senior Drae Bowles, a University of Tennessee commitment, inflicted most of the damage. He scored on a 54-yard run and a 21-yard reception in the first quarter and added a 45-yard touchdown catch late in the second quarter to push the lead to 28-0. The lone score for TRA (1-7 overall, 0-4 DII-AW2) came with 3:56 left in the game when senior Keith Hamlin broke a 53yard touchdown run. JCS (3-5, 2-2) quarterback William Welch had a big game, completing 5 of 8 passes for 142 yards and three touchdowns. Hamlin led TRA’s offense with 113 yards on 11 carries and 30 passing yards. Johnny Williams had a 63-yard touchdown run for the Eagles in second quarter.

Brighton Middle routs HJH for WTAC title By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com

BMS quarterback Chase Kidd looks to pitch the ball during action Tuesday night. The Cardinals defeated Haywood Junior High for the WTAC title. Photo by Jeff Ireland

Three weeks after narrowly beating Haywood Junior High, Brighton Middle faced them again Tuesday night with the WTAC title on the line. This time around it was not close at all. Zac Camp scored five times as the Cardinals scored early and often en route to a 44-0 win. “People asked me after game what happened to them (Haywood),” BMS coach Larry Williams said. “I told them we happened to them.” Brighton (7-1) will be looking for another West Tennessee title on Saturday, Oct. 29. The Cardinals will host the winner of Belleview and White Station at 1 p.m. Tuesday’s game got out of hand early with Brighton racing to a 38-0 halftime lead. Camp rushed for 126 yards and four scores and also caught a 70-yard touchdown pass from Chase Kidd. Desmond Maclin rushed for 61 yards and a score. Brighton’s defense was suffocating with Lorenzo Frazier, Titus Matthews and Austin Kelly each intercepting a pass. Williams praised all of his players, including cornerback Cordell Dickerson and Kidd, who directed the offense with no turnovers in cold and wet conditions. “I wondered how we would react to the weather,” Williams said. “I guess we’re a cold-weather team … We had a game plan against their spread offense and the kids executed it.”

This week in sports …

30 years ago Bill “Superstar” Dundee was the main attraction at a wrestling show held in Brighton. 20 years ago Behind 128 yards on the ground from James Goforth, the Chargers snapped a four-game skid with a 21-0 win over Obion County. 10 years ago Daniel Buda came up with a 22-yard interception return for a touchdown to lead Brighton past Ripley and clinch a playoff berth.
