Liquor requirements, restrictions change

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com ATOKA – An ordinance relaxing the requirements for those holding liquor licenses was passed Tuesday night during a regular meeting of the Board of Mayor and Alderman.

The ordinance, which was proposed with the purpose of bringing the town in compli-

ance with state law, changes the municipal code to state the majority owner of a liquor store must be a full-time resident of Tipton County for two years prior to applying for a license to sell.

Previously, majority owners of liquor stores were required to be residents of Atoka for two years.

There was no opposition to the change from neither alder-

men nor those in attendance.

And restrictions placed on beer and liquor sales were also proposed Tuesday.

“There were changes in state law and now our laws conflict with that,” said Town Administrator Brian Koral.

“Approving this will bring us in compliance with state law.”

The current restriction prohibits beer and liquor sales from midnight to 5 a.m.

Monday-Saturday and from midnight until noon on Sundays.

The proposed ordinance now only restricts the sale of beer and liquor from 3 a.m. to 5 a.m. Monday-Saturday and from 3 a.m. to noon on Sunday.

The ordinance passed on its first reading. The second reading will take place on Tuesday, Dec. 6.

Phone allowance proposed In addition to legislation proposed to amend liquor-related laws, Koral also proposed a resolution establishing a cell phone allowance policy for municipal employees.

The allowance would give $40-80 monthly to employees who have already been given phones for work use.

This plan, said Koral, would save the city $3,000 annually SEE ATOKA, PAGE A3

St. Luke to celebrate 143 years

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com On Friday, an anniversary celebration will begin, honoring St. Luke’s 143 years of worship in Tipton County.

And the celebration, said organizers, will encompass the entire community.

“A church cannot stand alone, it needs everyone to make the church a part of the community, ” said Harold Bonds.

“All activities are open to everyone in the community; there’s no admission and anyone can participate.”

St. Luke Missionary Baptist Church began in 1868 on property belonging to George C. Howard, part of which was known as the Dyson Tract. The first services, according to church history, were held in a bush arbor in the TabernacleGift Community.

In 1880, a 3/4-acre tract of land was purchased for $15 with the sole purpose being the construction of either a school or a church. A log building was later constructed for use by St. Luke M.B. Church.

In 1947, the congregation again expanded the church, purchasing more property from J.L. Mayo, bringing the total acreage from 3/4 to 2-1/4.

In 1948, the church began hosting its annual Fall Rally Day, which began as a way to raise funds for the construction of another building. A brick facility, complete with electricity, soon replaced the wood-framed structure; the first sermon in the new church took place on New Year’s night, 1949. The church was completed five weeks later.

Tragedy hit 41 years later when fire destroyed the church. The congregation worshipped at Salem Baptist Church, its sister church, for a full year until the current facility was dedicated on Oct. 20, 1991.

In March 2000, nearly two acres of land on the north side of the church was donated by the Mayo family; from that acquisition, the Family Life Center was erected to serve the community with Christian-based activities.

Church members said they have continued to be blessed with good leadership and auxiliaries including a deacon, deaconess, trustee, mother board, usher board, Sunday School, vacation bible school, church school, Christian Educa-

DICKENS CHRISTMAS

Local seamstress offers Victorian dresses

By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com This December, the Covington-Tipton County Chamber of Commerce will host its first Dickens Christmas, an event they hope will draw hundreds of people from West Tennessee and neighboring states to Covington to participate in, which will hopefully become an annual event.

To pull off a Dickens Christmas, the Chamber plans to dress Court Square in Christmas decorations from the Victorian period, with surrounding businesses also dressing their shops in vintage motifs. To complete the picture of a postcard Victorian Christmas, volunteers are needed to dress the part and to stroll around the square, while wearing period clothing from mid-19th century

Victorian England.

Mason resident Alethea Sayers-Harris, a seamstress who specializes in period clothing, will create a custom Victorian outfit for volunteers wishing to

participate in the event.

“We encourage any spectators to dress in authentic English clothing of the late 1860s – early 1870s and come out for the fun,” said Covington-Tipton County Chamber of Commerce Director Lee Johnston.

“Alethea has designed period clothing for customers all over the world. I have wanted to have a Dickens Christmas for years but didn’t have all the pieces.

We didn’t have anyone who could provide authentic clothing but she has closed that missing link.”

Harris has been busy making outfits which can be seen in booth 454 upstairs at Upscale Resale.

She will also have one for her creations on display at Coffee in the Attic.

“I would love to dress the entire town,” Harris said laughing. “I’m stock-

In addition to creating an affordable custom outfit, Harris can also help customers devise a low-budget alternative by suggesting pieces, which may be found at area thrift stores.

“I can help give them ideas and point them to other resources,” said Harris. “I would love to create their outfit but I will be only taking orders up to that time that I know I can definitely finish their order.

By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com Taking a cue from the Make-A-Wish Foundation, local US 51 Country 93.5 FM disc jockeys Jimmy Hicks and Ashley Kelley recently made a Brighton Middle School student the happiest girl in the world.

On Monday, Oct. 24, the station received a touching email from Munford resident Laura Schneider pleading for assistance for her 11-year-old daughter Emily. Schneider’s email detailed a serious auto wreck that

she, Emily and her young son had in 2007. Schneider had been critically injured and was knocked unconscious and appeared dead to Emily, who although only 7 at the time of the accident, was able to give crucial details to emergency responders, while being critically injured herself.

Since the accident, Emily has battled depression and weight fluctuations caused by the depression, which puts her life in jeopardy as it causes fluid to build up on her brain and puts pressure on her optic nerves.

Like most young girls, Emily is a

huge Taylor Swift fan. In April, her mother made a deal with her that if she would lose 30 pounds, she would get her tickets to the Taylor Swift concert when it came to the Mid-South area.

But then, that’s when bad luck struck again. Emily’s father lost his job and times became really tough and Schneider no longer could afford to obtain tickets.

“I felt so bad and didn’t want to disappoint her,” Schneider said. “She had been working really hard and SEE DREAM, PAGE A2

Both Hicks and Kelley decided that helping Emily would be the right thing to do but realized they faced a difficult task. “We knew we wanted to help, but there was just one problem,� said Kelley. “We read the message on Monday and the concert was Sunday, and tickets were sold out.� “It was cutting it real close to the show, but I had to try,� added Hicks. “I contacted the record promoter who calls me each week to promote Taylor Swift and he made some contact with the people at her record label, Big Machine Records. After reading her story, her label people were just as touched as we were and provided us with two tickets to the show.�

Hicks and Kelley decided to surprise Emily at school on Friday

Emily’s parents, grandparents and other family members snuck into the classroom to watch in the background. When it was her turn to repeat

Brighton Middle School assistant principal Sabrina Sneed-Matthews was also on hand to witness the touching surprise. “I think it’s a great thing that the radio station has done in granting Emily’s wish,� she said. “They’ve brought some smiles to the family after all they have endured.�

Mary Forrester got the bad news nearly 13 years ago.

The five-year-old girl living in her house in Gilt Edge, of whom she would later become legal guardian, had neurofibromatosis, a genetic disorder that causes tumors, sometimes cancerous, to grow in the nervous system.

Now 18 and a senior at Brighton High School, Alison Kirk still lives with Forrester and deals with the disorder on a daily basis. “It could crop up and kill her at any time,� said Forrester.

Symptoms of neurofibromatosis include light brown spots on the skin, growths on the iris of the eye and abnormal development of the spine. “It causes the side of her face to twitch,� Forrester said. “The doctor says it’s not going to get any better.�

Kirk can’t ride a bike like she used to. She has seven doctors and makes regular trips to their offices in Memphis and Covington.

Continued from A1

Continued from A1 real quick on my cutoff time.�

Helping Harris with the event is her sister Terry Kemper, a chef from Nashville. Harris tells that the push to hold the Dickens Christmas came from Kemper and has a very special meaning to both of them. “The main reason why we embarked on this journey in the first place is because my sister was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in June of this year,� revealed Harris. “The doctors gave her three months to live and she’s not supposed to be here this Christmas. A Dickens Christmas was one of the things on her bucket list.�

Harris explains her sister had surgery and doctors are surprised that she is doing well. “She’s not supposed to be living but God works miracles,� she said, smiling. “It seems whenever times are tough people want to go back and remember a simpler time. History all of a sudden becomes ‘in’

when things get tough.

Everybody should have a bucket list and not just because they are dying.

To experience something like this is a wonderful thing and brings back the spirit of the community.�

The public is invited to volunteer to be “characters� and wander the Square. Volunteers can provide their own mid19th century English Victorian costumes or they may purchase a custommade outfit. Volunteers are also needed to sing vintage Christmas carols as members of strolling choirs. People interested in volunteering are asked to contact Mary Beasley at 476-5502 For more information or to reach Alethea Sayer-Harris, contact Lee Johnston at the Chamber office at 476-9727.

Samples of Sayer-Harris’ work may be found at http://www.bustledress. com/cgi-bin/z.pl/index. html. “If you want a custom-

made Victorian outfit you need to get your orders in,� cautioned Harris. “This is the first year for West Tennessee and we’re competing against Middle Tennessee. They draw in excess of 50,000 people and we’re certainly not expecting anything like that for our first year, but we are hoping to have some really good numbers.�

A Dickens’ Christmas will take place on Saturday, Dec. 10 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. with the lighting of the city’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.

But she still finds plenty of things to keep herself busy. Kirk enjoys photography and is an artist. “She loves to write cartoons,â€? Forrester said. “She can really write ‌ She really loves photography.

She just rides down the road snapping pictures.�

Another one of her favorite past times, which sometimes causes Forrester to grimace, is changing her hair color.

Kirk also loves to talk politics and is not shy about telling anyone interested where she stands on issues.

The tumors caused by neurofibromatosis generally grow on the thin membrane that protects the body’s nerves. These disorders cause tumors to grow on nerves and produce abnormalities.

Despite all the trips to the doctor and the physical problems that come with neurofibromatosis, Kirk remains positive. “It really doesn’t seem to bother her,� Forrester said. “She’s had it since she was so little. She just deals with it.�

Alderman Brett Giannini opposed the plan. “I like the concept of this, but I’m not sure about $40 and $80,� he said. “I might be able to approve it if we move it to $25 for voice and $45 for data.�

Giannini, however, was alone in his opposition.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2011 FLASHBACK

“As I sit, grieve and cry, I’m really hurting. My wife passed away recently, and that’s still hurting me. There must be a few that care about others, but they are not easy to find. I really appreciate how good you’ve been to me.” - Clyde Rush

F

or many years we ran letters to the editor mailed in by Clyde Rush, a Munford resident who was in search of, as has become famous as his line, “true Christians and patriots.”

The first letters began when his wife was sick.

Clyde was desperate for help for her, for both of them; he was desperate for the prayers of praying people. He believed people should help one another, he believed people should support one another, he believed people should pray OFF THE RECORD for one another.

E CHO D AY His letters arrived often, addressed to The Editor, The Leader. He used a typewriter to write to us, double-spacing his paragraphs and signing his name to each one; before sending the letter he always wrote, off in the left side, under the typewritten text, “I understand if you cannot publish this” in penmanship reminiscent of Depression-era students.

It was clear from his letters that he was lonely, especially after his wife LaVerne died. He began asking for companionship in his letters friends, caregivers, etc. - and also began putting in classified ads as well.

For many years I was asked why I elected to publish these letters. To some they seemed pointless, to others an embarrassment; to me, they were a cry for help and a way to make an elderly man happy.

I knew Mr. Rush wasn’t in the best of health; I knew he was lonely and his time on Earth was limited; why shouldn’t I do what I could to bring a smile to his face?

Our last communication with him was earlier this year when the letters eventually stopped.

Now, they have stopped for good as Mr. Rush, who was born in Cherry Valley, Ark. in SEE RECORD, PAGE A5

Vote, cut, show courage!

The projected federal budget for FY2012 is expected to be $3.7 trillion, of which $1.06 trillion will be deficits, taking our total debt to at least $15.5 trillion. The president’s budget office said this is $440 billion less in deficits than earlier predicted since they anticipate increased revenues from stronger employment and corporate growth.

Yeah, and I expect a 29.33 percent pay increase in FY2012 since the economy will be so much better.

Folks, there is only one way out of this mess and that is to recognize three cold, hard facts.

So, how do we cut just over $1 trillion (a conservative estimate) from the budget to avoid another megadeficit year? The answer is actually quite simple, yet very difficult. First, we elect the right people for public office.

Second, we wean or just cold turkey the citizens and companies off the public trough.

It’s that second thing that JIM HARDIN keeps many from doing the first — electing the right people — because so many of us are dependent on government, and I don’t exempt any group.

Yes, you have the chronic welfare recipients and those who stay on the ever-extending unemployment, but we have large banks, insurance companies, the medical industry, corporations like GE and Solendra, farmers, senior citizens, and even veterans.

I see veterans lobbying hard to get 100 percent service-connected disability for things like arthritis, PTSD, bad knees and so on, and many are successful. The result is a lifetime check and medical care. What amazes me is how many walk around, go fishing, and do all things most of us can do, but somehow they are 100 percent serviceconnected disabled. Don’t get me wrong, there are legit folks with disabilities, but in my small way of thinking, 100 percent should mean you are paraplegic or something like that.

People game the system all the time. Worker’s comp, EEO (Equal Employment Opportunity) settlements, Social Security disability (an addict can get it), and so on. Are we a nation of whiners and takers? For many it seems to be the case.

This is only a test The first cooperative Presidential-level, nationwide test of the broadcast Emergency Alerting System (EAS) is going to take place at 1 p.m. CST/ 2 p.m. EST on Wednesday, Nov. 9.

America will also read more, as well as see and hear additional public service announcements over the next few weeks to make certain everyone knows that the real National EAS Test, conducted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), will only be a diagnostic exercise to determine the reliability and effectiveness of the national emergency information system. All EAS participants, including every TV and radio station, cable or video wire line provider across the country, must participate in the test. The National Weather Service is not participating.

It will be obvious to anyone watching or listening that this test is different than a monthly EAS test but will include the usual attention sounds of a “digital duck

quack.” Not only will it run longer than a normal test or activation to complete the distribution process, if someone tries to tune to another station, they’ll see or hear the test on that station too, and all up and down the dial. Also, the test message will include the phrase “This is a test” but it won’t just be that phrase repeated over and over, there will be other information.

This first ever National EAS Test includes: •Utilization of the Emergency Action Notification (EAN) code.

This is a “live-code” test using the same code as an actual national emergency. It will look and sound much like the monthly testing done by participants on a regular schedule.

•The alert will be transmitted through the Primary Entry Point (PEP) network of radio stations to the other relays. In Tennessee we have three PEP stations; WSM-AM in Nashville, WJXB-FM in Knoxville and WJCW-AM in Johnson City.

•The initial test will be approximately 3.5 minutes in duration.

the urge hit you to ease up to home room and squall at the top of your lungs like a panther shot with hot frying grease? You craved that many times and it sho’ felt good to release all that pent up tension!

Not during school or our principal, Mrs. Cason or Mrs. Ricks would march the entire congregation to the cloakroom for ??? During some dark illegal entries, like a graduated badge Boy Scout, Don, Rabbit and I would sit on the front row in our home room. Why? The comfort without a desk in front of you to kick or knee someone.

My fellow Southern Americans, we are told, supposedly by high brow intellectuals, that change is good. But, consolidation has taken away this hometown, caring atmosphere. Why would folks want to make a big school out of a raft of small ones? Could the bottom line be money? The old School at Charleston, that Momma attended through the tenth grade, is no longer. The grammar school at Arlington has disappeared.

Who dismantled the historic school at Cuba? What happened to the community school at Lucy?

Things change for the better, so say our illustrious Soothsayers. Most of us ‘pore’ old redneck, Southern hicks ain’t as smart as we’d like to be. However, we ain’t as dumb, as some of those city slickers think we is either. I’ve got my Old Rosemark Grammar School Memories and You got yo’ new schools…GLORY!

The audio portion of the test will state “This is a Test.” The video text crawl automatically generated by a station’s EAS equipment will state this is an Emergency Activation Notification (EAN) and will not indicate that the event is a test.

To minimize public confusion and to ensure that the test is fully accessible, local television stations, cable and wire line providers will show a full screen visual graphic with a “THIS IS A TEST” notice to air along with the correct audio.

As the federal government and the media prepare to test their alerting capabilities, this event serves as a reminder that everyone should establish an emergency preparedness kit and an emergency plan for themselves, their families and businesses.

The public is being asked to not call their local emergency management agencies, 911 call centers or media outlets – REMEMBER, THIS IS ONLY A TEST! For more information on the National EAS Test, visit www.easalert. org.

RECORD

HARDIN

1923, passed away on Wednesday, Oct. 26.

(Ironically, that morning I was typesetting a memorial to Ed and Bertha Walker and the original author mentioned ‘true “There are still Chrissome good tians;’ people around, Mr. but they are Rush imme- hard to find in diately large numbers. came to i will keep mind and we trying.” in the - Clyde Rush newsroom wondered how he was doing.)

His son Winston, who shared with us the news of Clyde’s passing, said the elder Rush became ill on Friday, Oct. 14 and spent 12 days at Methodist North prior to his passing. He was buried this weekend in Memphis, the city where he lived from 1944 until 2004.

I was sad to hear of his passing, sad I’d no longer receive a typewritten note that “may not be fit for publication,” but I hope he has been reunited with LaVerne and has finally found the true Christians and patriots for whom he’s searched for many years.

It is my hope that we helped bring a smile about his face when he saw his letters printed.

God bless you, Mr. Rush.

Some use the excuse that as long as I pay my taxes or my company pays the unemployment insurance premiums, I’m going to use it when or if I can. The problem is that too many people hold the same view, resulting in ever-increasing taxes and larger unemployment premiums every time more people or corporations go on the dole, or the government extends unemployment.

Well, the boar’s teats

when you leave your job can help you make the right choice for your retirement savings. A qualified financial professional can help you review and understand your rollover options.

▪ Retirement — Once you retire, you’ll have several issues to consider: How much can you withdraw from your investments each year? From which accounts?

Should you rebalance your portfolio to provide more potential sources of income? What about the transfer of your wealth? A financial professional who is familiar with your situation can help you make the right moves to enjoy the retirement lifestyle you’ve envisioned.

So, when you really want to invest, leave the “virtual” world behind and connect with a financial professional — someone who has gained insight into your individual needs and who has the experience and expertise to help you build, maintain and adjust a portfolio that can help you move toward your goals.

The National FFA Dairy Cattle Evaluation CDE is a competitive activity that tests the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to select and manage quality dairy cattle.

Event components include six classes of dairy cattle, linear classification of five Holstein cows, a sire selection and dairy management exercise and placing of four dairy animal pedigrees. Each team competed at local

and state levels to earn the privilege of representing their home state at the national FFA convention.

The event, held at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis, Ind., is one of many educational activities at the national FFA convention in which FFA members demonstrate their ability to apply classroom knowledge to real-life situations.

The National FFA Organization, formerly

known as the Future Farmers of America, is a national youth organization of 523,309 student members â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all preparing for leadership and careers in the science, business and technology of agriculture â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as part of 7,487 local FFA chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The National FFA Organization changed to its present name in 1988, in recognition of the growth and diversity of agriculture and agricultural education. The 84th National FFA Convention was held Oct. 19-22, 2011 in Indianapolis and drew 50,000-plus FFA members, advisors and guests from across the country. The FFA mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.

Brighton News Debe Simonton

Hello Friends, arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you glad that we live in Brighton and not up East!

Is this crazy that there is snow this heavy already? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just enjoying the leaves changing color and the cool temperatures. They can please keep the snow up there for a while longer - a long while longer as a matter of fact. Hope this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a clue to what our winter is going to be like!

The Brighton football team did it again! What a nail biter the game was, too. Dyer Co. came to claim championship, but they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get it; we held on, barely! I hope this first round playoff game will be an easier one to win.

We play Southwind from Memphis this Friday at 7 p.m. We also have home field advantage so every-

one, please, come out and support your Cardinals.

The Brighton Band did well at Bandmasters.

They won several awards and fifth place on music.

That is very good. Also superior awards on all areas, which is the first time in four years! Congrats to the Cardinal Band!

There will be a flag retirement ceremony on Friday, Nov. 11. Boy Scout Troop 260 will be hosting the event. It will be held at the Brighton Boy Scout hut at dusk. There is a special invitation to all military veterans, active, retired and former.

Please youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re your uniform. Anyone who has flags they would like to retire can bring them.

Please stick around for the refreshments also.

A special prayer is needed for Lynn Ferrell and her family. She is in Methodist North, last I heard. Please keep her in your thoughts.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget the Fall Frenzy this weekend at the high school. Many other businesses are having their Christmas open houses this weekend as well. So get out Friday and Saturday and mill around the county; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good time to get some early Christmas shopping done.

Love to you all, Debe

There is a lot to tell you at this time. Some sad news, as well as happy news. In life, as you know, you cannot have one without the other.

Recently, Jamestown Community Health Organization (JCHO) held its second annual gala fundraiser â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Night of Eleganceâ&#x20AC;? at the Covington Country Club. The nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emcee was Rev. Gary Andrews of Ripley.

Guests enjoyed a delicious meal prepared by JCHOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chefs along with several lovely ladies from the country club staff.

After a lovely short program, Dorothy Miller of Memphis, the first lady of North Star Community Church, where her husband Rev. Steven Miller is Sr. Pastor, performed a self-written, one-woman skit which dealt with her pressures of life.

Mrs. Judy (Tyrone) Avery of Covington sang â&#x20AC;&#x153;By the Grace of the Lord.â&#x20AC;?

Several people received plaques, chosen from different surrounding areas affiliated with JCHO or their merits in business.

Rose Kent-Stemmons of Memphis Classic Sea World, Dr. Charlotte Sneed Fisher, along with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. Sneed of Shelby County and Mrs. Stemmons acknowledged two of the devoted staff. JCHO honored Gwen Cooke, program coordinator, with a special plaque for dedicated devotion above

Percy White and family, Johnny Thompson, Rudolph Boykins and family and Vernard â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big Boyâ&#x20AC;?

Burton.

This is it for this time.

To all who have suffered a loss or any kind, you are indeed in our prayers.

Remember: Whenever we lose tears, in God we always find hope as well as strength.

Football season has brought a lot of good news. Brighton High School beat Dyer County last Friday night 29 to 28.

They say it was the best game ever. Brighton football has a lot to be proud of. I did attend the middle school game on Saturday. The temperatures were better, still somewhat chilly but at least the sun was shining. They beat Bellevue 28 to 8. Congratulations to the team’s “Most Valuable Players” Zac Camp MVP for offense and Titus Matthews MVP for defense and Chase Kidd MVP Quarterback. They were recognized by the state for being the

This week’s Farm Report: wheat has been sown and we’re waiting for it to pop up; still need to scrap a little cotton; a lot of beans and cotton are still in the county and some corn. James and I rode all around the Solo area Sunday after eating lunch with Elizabeth, Lyla and Courtney Gurley. I had never seen one of those cotton pickers that makes its own bales actually “spit” one out so we parked and watched for a while; we saw two!

My last cake decorating class was last Thursday and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Made Rachel Nance’s Halloween birthday cake by a painting Elizabeth and I did at a girls’ painting party in Memphis a couple of weeks ago, called “Witches Legs”. They gave me permission, and I posted it on Facebook. Turned out really cute! Have a deer hunting cake to make today! But no wedding cakes, please! They scare me to think about them!

I stayed up late Thursday night to watch the Cardinals beat Texas in extra innings and James and I, along with Liz and Lyla, watched them win the series! I’m so jealous of Tommy and Miranda Schroader - they were there! Great series but can’t believe Tony LaRussa is retiring as manager; I guess three series in a career is pretty good.

Liz, Lyla and I went to Memphis to the big market at the Agricenter Friday. We came home and made vegetable beef soup and cornbread and watched the aforementioned World Series.

Trick or Trunk was Saturday night at Jeff and Christie Coughlan’s home; there was a costume contest, wiener and marshmallow roast, chili contest, games and hayride. Lyla was a nurse for Halloween - pink scrubs, a name tag and a stethoscope around her neck.

This from the Clopton United Methodist Church, 5285 Brighton-Clopton Road - Community Breakfast this Saturday from 7:30 till 10 a.m. and a Youth Yard Sale, starting at 7:30, all on November 5th. Everyone is welcome!

Shirley Cook had knee replacement surgery last week and came home but went back because of an infection; hope she’s doing all right today. Jimmy Coats had a procedure and was back at church on Sunday. Neil Stanley received good test results; prayers were answered. Jeff Hanks is recovering from surgery but was at church Sunday night. Brandy Brown, Braxton Brown, Fay Hazlerig and Grant Edmonds are all recovering; Grant is in rehab now and walking without a cane. Charlie Moss continues to be in our prayers, along with so many others, and all our servicemen and women.

Happy Birthday this week goes to Jeff Phillips on Oct. 30, to Bill Murray and Rachel Nance on the 31st, to Addie Kidd and Tim Halford on Nov. 4 and to Terry Wall on the 5th!

I can’t believe it’s November already but I am ready for this cooler weather. The harvest time is winding down and it is time to think about the holidays. There are 55 days till Christmas! Oh, and don’t forget to “fall back” this Saturday night; set those cocks back an hour before you go to bed!

This week’s Farmer ’s Almanac Quote: “If today (Nov. 1) will bring out the winter, St. Martin’s Day (Nov. 11) will bring out Indian Summer. We’ll see if we can remember!

This week’s Oxymorons, in honor of the World Series: “Why do we sing ‘Take Me Out to the Ball Game’ when we are already there? And why are they called ‘stands’ when they are made for sitting”? Ha! Enjoy the weather and the trees!

Until next week . . .

back at Dunlap and feeling much better.

Happy birthday to Jimmy Rammage.

Covington Church of Christ Worship is at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday morning and again at 5:30 p.m. Sunday evening. Bible Study at 9:30 a.m. on Sundays and 7 p.m. on Wednesdays.

Happy Birthday to Jeff Phillips, Bill Murray, Rachel Nance, Addie Kidd, Tim Halford and Terry Wall.

The youth group is having a clothing give-a-way Saturday, Nov. 12 at the church. Please bring clothing you are no longer using to the church building. We have many on our prayer list. Please remember Shirley Jones and Shirley Cook and many others. It was so good to see Linda Gordon and Larry Whaley II at church last week. We had a terrific time last Saturday night at the home of Jeff and Christie Coughlan. We had trick or trunk, a roaring fire to roast hot dogs and marsh-

We want to welcome Debbie Lloyd to our center with opened arms; it is good to have her with us.

Staff and service recipients worked Halloween decorations here at the center last week. Scott Catterton’s mother came out to the center to practice our tap dancing for the Christmas holidays. Everyone did an excellent job.

Some of our service recipients went to the Dollar General store to purchase some items and to work on money-management.

Staff and service recipients are in the front room watching a movie called “Lady and the Tramp.”

The staff and service recipients have been taking turns doing a devotion Monday – Friday in the front room.

Staff and service recipients watched a movie “Lady and the Tramp II.” Everyone enjoyed it very much.

The Ripley Center came down Friday and spent part of the day with us here at our center as we watched a movie called “The Grace Card.” We had staff appreciation day for the staff as well as a going away for Richard Cole. The staff and recipients from both centers went to Cobb-Parr Park in Covington for a picnic. Everyone enjoyed themselves very much. Also Scott Catteron’s mother came out to the center to do tap dancing with the service recipients. Everyone did a good job. The par-

Please remember them in your prayers also.

Special recognition for Emmy McClain, who is the varsity coach for St. George High School; they won the state tournament in Murfreesboro last week.

This is her first year coaching and she was awarded Coach of the Year in West Tennessee. She is the granddaughter of Gail and Ronald Collins and George and Irene, all of Atoka In closing, please remember our veterans on Veterans Day, Nov. 11. I’m hoping my nephew John Wallace will be home from Iraq by Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving last year was the last day I saw him.

Our country is still the best country in the world.

Remember to change back your clocks on Sunday night, as daylight savings time ends. Longer nights at home sound pretty good.

Second season begins Friday night Brighton, Covington, Munford set to begin postseason

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com For the first time since the 2006 season, all three Tipton County football teams are in the playoffs.

And each of the three match-ups Friday night have plenty of story lines.

Munford, which will be making its first foray into the postseason since 2007, clearly has the most difficult task: take down the state's top-ranked Class 5A team on the road.

“We've got nothing to lose,” said Munford head coach Matt Saunders.

In his third year at the helm, Saunders led the Cougars (5-5) to four wins in the final five games to earn an eight seed in the Class 5A bracket. The reward was a trip to Paris to take on undefeated Henry County.

“Everybody in Henry County thinks they're going to win,” Saunders said.

“I'm sure there are some people around here who won't make the trip because they think we're going to lose.”

Henry County has faced very little resistance this year, outscoring its opponents by an average score of 46-10. The Patriots have scored at least 37 points in

each game this year.

“We're going to go out there and roll the dice and see what happens,” Saunders said. “I've told the guys, 'Let's take a lead and see how they handle adversity.'”

A quick look at local Covington teams' opponents finished second in B2 District 13-AA, won eight games and is the third-ranked team in the Class 4A state poll.

Despite that impressive resume, the

District champs

Cardinals win a thriller over Dyer Co.

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com For a while Friday night, it looked like Brighton might clinch it's second district title in three years with relative ease.

In front of a raucous home crowd, the Cardinals surged to a 14-0 halftime lead over Dyer County.

The Choctaws, however, took the lead twice in the second half. But Brighton answered each time and the defense stepped up on Dyer County's final heartthumping drive to preserve a 29-28 District 13-AAA win in the regular season finale.

Trailing 29-28, Dyer County took over at its own 40 with 37 seconds left in the game.

The Choctaws moved to the Brighton 37 and quarterback Dylan Dye heaved a pass into the end zone as time expired. The pass was incomplete, but pass interference was called on Brighton and Dyer County had one final play left from the Brighton 22.

Brighton senior Zach Rogowski knocked down Dye's final pass at the 5-yard line and the celebration was on.

“I was trying to bait the quarterback into throwing it,” Rogowksi said. “It's great to win our second title in three years. There's nothing like it … being a senior and going out on top is nice.”

“They've got a great football team, and we do too,” Brighton senior Chance Sampson makes a sliding catch during second-half action against Dyer County Friday night. The Cardinals pulled out a 29-28 win to clinch the District 13-AAA title. Photo by Jeff Ireland

Munford downs Westwood, earns berth

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com There were probably a few people thinking “here we go again” when Westwood cut into Munford's comfortable lead Friday night in the regular season finale.

The last two seasons Munford lost very close games to Westwood, including an overtime heartbreaker last year.

Westwood trimmed a 21-0 lead to one point in the third quarter, but the Cougars scored a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns to pull away for a 35-20 win that clinched Munford's first playoff berth since 2007.

“I knew they were going to come back and fight hard,” said Munford head coach Matt Saunders. “The last two years we've played the exact same team. In those games we didn't make the plays that we made in this game …

I thought the way we responded was huge.”

Clinging to a 21-20 lead in the fourth quarter, Munford got a 15-yard touchdown run from D'Marious Exum to push the lead to 28-20.

After converting a couple of big third downs later in the quarter, Exum scored again, this time from 43 yards out, and Munford (5-5) was on its way to a fourth win in five games.

Munford earned an eighth-seed in the Class 5A state playoff bracket with the win and will travel to Paris on Friday night to take on Henry County (10-0), the District 10-AAA champs.

Early on in Friday night's win it was all Munford.

The Cougars took over at Westwood's 30-yard line after a shanked punt and Exum scored from 16 yards out three plays later to give Munford a 7-0 lead SEE MHS, PAGE B2

BMS claims another title

Chargers put up 60 in rout of Ripley

By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com

Although at times they appeared a bit sluggish and did not play their best, the Covington Chargers drubbed the Ripley Tigers 60-26 Friday on the road to claim a No. 2 playoff seed and second place in District 13-AA while amassing 634 yards and setting records in team and individual categories.

Covington’s ground assault was astounding, establishing a single-game school record with 624 yards on 51 carries.

Johnston White and Terence Pierson became the first Covington backs to amass 250 yards in the same game: 288 yards on 21 carries with 5 TDs for White and 254 yards on 17 carries with 2 TDs for Pierson.

Colliar Robinson got into the act as well with 82 yards on 13 carries and 2 TDs, one rushing and one on a 10-yard pass from Britt Dunn.

Both rushing totals for White and Pierson were individual career-highs as well.

The Tigers (2-8 overall, 1-7 district) made it interesting in the first half.

Covington (8-2, 7-1) jumped out to a 14-0 lead only to have Ripley cut it to 14-6 with eight minutes left in the half on a 29-yard scamper by quarterback Nick Taliferro.

Recovering an onside kick at midfield after the score, the Tigers looked ready to even things up, but the CHS defense stiffened and forced a punt and drove 83 yards in eight

Brighton Middle School football coach Larry Williams doesn't throw around words like “dynasty,” but the term certainly seems to apply in this case.

Saturday afternoon in front of a large home crowd, Brighton Middle defeated Bellevue Middle 28-8 to claim its third straight large school Tennessee Middle School Athletic Association title.

After the final seconds ticked off, the Cardinal players chased Williams around the field until they finally caught up to give him the traditional water cooler shower.

Brighton has been in the title game five years in a row.

“To win it three times in a row is special,” Williams said. “I'm just tickled to death … It's the Super Bowl of middle school.”

Brighton (8-1) jumped out to a quick 16-0 lead on a pair of Zac Camp touchdowns.

After the second one, Brighton recovered an onside kick and Camp, the

plays to open a 21-6 lead.

Ripley took just 2:25 to march right back and score as time elapsed as Taliferro caught a half-back pass on the goal line to go to the locker room trailing 21-12.

The Chargers took over in the second half, outscoring Ripley 20-0 in the third period to put the game away. The Tigers got late scores on a Taliferro run and a 79-yard kickoff return for a TD, but it was not near enough to stop the potent Covington ground game.

second-seeded Chargers drew a difficult opponent.

Covington hosts Dyersburg, which also won eight games and is the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11th-ranked team.

Covington defeated the Trojans 21-8 on Sept. 2, but had to score three times in the fourth quarter to pick up the win.

Dyersburg is on a sevengame winning streak. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are better than when we played them earlier and have a lot of momentum coming into this game,â&#x20AC;? said Covington head coach Marty Wheeler.

The Week 2 win over Dyersburg was Covingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first without standout running back Carlos Williams, who is out for the season with an injury. Terrence Pierson, who had some huge

games in the second half of the season, also missed the game with an injury. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We expect this to be a hard-hitting affair,â&#x20AC;? Wheeler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be a big night and our first time back at home in several weeks. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playoff time. We need our fans in the stands.â&#x20AC;?

Brighton hosts Southwind in a Class 6A first round game that features two teams with drastically different histories.

The Jaguars (7-3) have fielded a varsity team for just three years and will making their first trip to the playoffs. Brighton (9-1) will be hosting a first-round playoff game for the third straight year and has been to the postseason four years in a row.

Does postseason experi-

ence help? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know,â&#x20AC;? said Brighton coach Will Wolfe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the playoffs. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whole new season. It really doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done in the past.â&#x20AC;?

The Cardinals, winners of nine straight and coming off a rousing 29-28 Week 10 win over Dyer County, entered the Class 6A poll this week as the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10th-ranked team.

Southwind has won six of seven. The teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only loss during that streak was to Ridgeway, the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ninthranked team in Class 5A. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just a great team,â&#x20AC;? Wolfe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably the biggest, most athletic team weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played this year.â&#x20AC;?

Williams scored from there and the rout appeared to be on.

But Gilkey scored on runs of 9 and 2 yards in the third quarter and then hit Randy Chambers on a 28-yard scoring strike early in the third.

A 2-point conversion failed, leaving Munford with a 2120 lead.

Gilkey completed 8 of 14 passes for 150 yards, but was kept under control the

Brighton went ahead 14-0 on a Stewart-to-Artez Harris 11-yard touchdown pass and a 1-yard scoring run by Dickerson.

On Dyer Coutyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first possession of the second half, Dye found Jacob Hudson in the end zone to cut the lead to 14-6 with 9:55 left in the third quarter.

A 65-yard Choctaw drive followed and was punctuated by a 5-yard touchdown pass from Dye to Ky Wilson.

Less than a minute into the fourth quarter Dye hooked up with Devante Hill on an 89-yard touchdown to give the Choctaws a 22-14 lead.

With 9:22 to play Brighton struck back when Stewart hit Sampson for an 18-yard touchdown. Dickersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-point run tied the score.

Dye found Wilson in the end zone. The 2-point conversion failed, setting the stage for Brightonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final drive.

After a relatively calm first half, both offenses got hot in the second half and finished with a combined 807 yards of offense.

Stewart completed 16 of 33 passes for 216 yards and Dye converted 27 of 57 for 391 yards, 322 of which came after halftime. Wilson had a monster game with 11 catches for 187 yards, but Brightonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense had the answers when it mattered most. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In football games youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got ebbs and flows,â&#x20AC;? Wolfe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got a little momentum on our side and the guys made plays â&#x20AC;Ś It was just an absolute team effort from the guys on the sideline, to the assistant coaches and everybody â&#x20AC;Ś That was exciting.â&#x20AC;?

A second shanked Westwood (6-4) punt followed and the Cougars capitalized quickly.

Stephen Stewart hit Derek Howell on a 36-yarder to the Westwood 1-yard line and Cedric Williams took it in from there.

On the first play of the second quarter Munfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Turner Weston picked off a Jerome Gilkey pass and re-

Continued from B1 said Brighton coach Will Wolfe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What a great high school football game.â&#x20AC;?

Brighton (9-1), winners of nine straight, earned the right to host a playoff game for the third straight year. The Cardinals will host Southwind (7-3) Friday night in the first round of the Class 6A playoffs.

The second half was full of drama.

Trailing by a point with 3:51 left in the game, Dyer County (8-2) ran a fake punt that went 75 yards for a touchdown. But an illegal block nullified the play and the Choctaws punted on the next play.

Brighton was trailing 2822 with 5:39 left when Brady Stewart hooked up with Chance Sampson to convert a fourth and 14 down to the Dyer County 7.

Three plays later Antonio Dickerson scored on third and goal and Drew Hopkins converted the extra point to

COMMENTARY

Are you a fan or follower? to begin the work of the church.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the Christianity is at a crossroads name of the Father and the Son and in America. We have become the Holy Spirit, teaching them to a group of people that is full observe all I have commanded you; of a lot of “self” and a little of and lo, I am with you always, even to Jesus. Many of the end of the age. This is a our churches are command for every New stagnant in growth, Testament believer – to losing members, or GO, MAKE DISCIPLES, even closing down.

Many of ine our hearts and our us profess to know motives and reveal to us Jesus as Lord and any stumbling blocks or Savior but we still sin that would prevent us let sin rule in our from being devoted folhearts. We claim lowers of Jesus. We must Zach Cook to be “followers” realize that we can’t do of Jesus when in fact, most of us anything in our own power and are merely “fans.” It’s time for hope to be successful in fulfilling Christians to wake up from our The Great Commission. We must slumber, get out of our church die to ourselves daily. We must pews and comfortable routines, take up our crosses and follow and return to a sincere love for him. We must count the cost of Jesus, an intense passion for His being a disciple of Christ. Jesus Word, and a strong desire to make had much to say about the cost His glory known in this commuof following Him. In the Gospel nity, our region, our nation, and to of Luke, Chapter 14, Jesus had atthe ends of the earth. tracted quite a large following of Jesus has given us our mandate people that traveled around with in His Word called The Great Him and His disciples.

ers. “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters – yes, even his own life – he cannot be my disciple. And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.”

(14:26-27) Talk about tough words! It was as though Jesus was trying to convince people not to follow Him. He was very successful in doing so. And His words from Luke still ring true today. Does your relationship with your parents, spouse, or children take precedence over your devotion to Jesus? According to Jesus, your affinity for others should pale in comparison when compared to your love for Him. Let me encourage you Christian disciple to take up your instrument of torture daily and die to yourself so that in the process you may live for Christ, fulfill the Great Commission, and become a true “follower” of Jesus instead of just a “fan.”

Field dressing for dummies

The magic words: “I got him!”

You have shot the deer and now it is on the ground.

Now, starts the celebration. If you are in a tree stand be very careful. It would be a good idea to get down from the stand before you start your jumping up and down and high fiving everyone in sight. Next, since you probably have a cell phone, it is time to start dialing. However, this is good. It is helping you to be safe. Deer laying on the ground have been known to jump up and run off. This celebration time is giving Mother Nature a chance to make sure the animal is down.

Now the deer is down, what do I do next?

You should have used your celebration time also, to decide, do I want to field dress the animal where it lays or take it back to the truck and field dress it later? If you remove all the innards, you will reduce the weight of the animal by about 25 percent. This will make a lot of difference if you are dragging the deer back to the truck. However,

there may be help back at camp to make the task easier. It is decision time.

Plus weigh in the factor that this is the very first deer that you have ever field dressed. This factor would probably sway the decision to return to camp where there are experienced deer hunters that could help with the field dressing. Maybe just maybe there is no camp or experienced deer hunters, now what?

Ok, let’s get started.

Now you have waited more than several minutes and you are standing by your deer. Take the muzzle off your rifle and touch the deer’s eye. If the deer does not flinch, it means the deer is ready to be field dressed. Unload your rifle and move it away from the area.

Stop! Tag the deer now!

Double-check the information!

Now, we have the deer and we are sure that the animal is not going to get up and run off, we get out our very sharp knife.

It really does not matter whether it is big or small as long as it is sharp, plus you always carry a sharpener, right?

Roll the carcass on its back and begin at the neck. Make one firm but shallow cut through the hyde and hair from the neck to the back end.

Carefully keep the knife blade between your fingers and use the fingers to keep the hide away from the organs inside.

What you must avoid is cutting into the intestines. Make this mistake, and the meat may be ruined for eating. Especially avoid slicing into the bladder near the finish of your cut. When the cut is finished, pull the opening as far apart as you can.

Here, you may want to take off your jacket and shirt, down to a T-shirt.

Then reach in at the neck and start pulling everything out, all the way down to the back end.

Messy? Yes, it is. But it has to be done.

When the organs are out, check inside the cavity for anything else that needs to come out. You’ll have to cut the windpipe loose with the knife. If grass is handy, grab a couple of good handfuls and wipe the inside or use some paper towels or toilet paper that you had

Now, you have finished with the field dressing and next time it will be easier. Plus, this time you have decreased the weight of the deer by about 25 percent so the trip back to deer camp will be an easier journey because of your skills.

I recommend that you carry the deer to a processing place as soon as possible. These folks have the equipment and the know how to finish the job for you. I believe if you carry it out to Jeff Mason on Clowes Road, he will process the deer for you. Or, if you want to donate the animal to “Hunters for the Hungry,” Jeff will cut it up and take it to Tipton Cares where they will distribute the meat to local residents of Tipton County.

This is a very nice service and you will have made a contribution to your neighbors to reduce hunger in the area.
