Local artists design cards for LeBonheur By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com Every year there are thousands of cards to choose from to announce holiday greetings and good tidings. This year, Le Bonheur Children’s Medical Center is hoping you will choose one designed by a Tipton County child. Thirteen-year-old Alex Ma-

son, 12-year-olds Mary Tanner Simmons and Neely Glenn and 10-year-old Bailey Cooper, all who are art students of Covington resident Barbara McBride, have had their artwork chosen to represent Le Bonheur during this season of faith. The 2011 Le Bonheur Holiday Card Collection is inspired by the hope and heal-

ing received by children at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital. Each year, 12 to 13 submitted drawings are selected for use as greeting cards for the world-renown children’s hospital. A seventh-grade student at Crestview Middle School, Alex’s artwork, Covington Greetings, is a brightly colored depiction of a winter

scene in Covington. He donated his gift of art to Le Bonheur in honor of his friend, 5-year-old Lucy Krull, who was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer, Medulloblastoma, in February 2011 and who is a Le Bonheur patient. Mary Tanner, Neely and Bailey all had their artwork chosen last year and were

selected again to represent Le Bonheur in 2011. Mary Tanner has taken art classes for two years. She is well known for her portraits of dogs and has even been commissioned to paint pet portraits. Neely enjoys basketball and volleyball and is on a traveling softball team. Neely is a gifted artist and has had her art SEE CARDS, PAGE A3

BUSINESS

Restaurant surrenders beer license By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com A popular Munford restaurant has surrendered its beer license and will soon close its doors, said Doc Hollidays Steak and Spirits owner Dottie Justice. Though she faced losing her onpremises consumption permit at a meeting of the city’s beer board meeting Monday night, on her Facebook profile Justice said she gave up the right to sell beer in her restaurant because she “was tired of fighting a town that obviously does not want me to have a business.” “I went to the mayor and told him to take it that I didn’t want it anymore. They did not take it from me,” she posted. Mayor Dwayne Cole said Justice willingly surrendered her license before the meeting Monday, but the board also suspended it “indefinitely.” “We felt like we needed to take action to render this null and void,” he said Wednesday. “The original issue was when she violated the terms and conditions of her on-premises consumption license.” During a Colt Ford concert, which took place near the restaurant’s Quinton Drive location, on Oct. 7, Doc Holliday’s is accused of selling beer and liquor that was being consumed off of the restaurant’s property. Justice did not want to comment on the incident. Beer licenses are enforced by municipalities; liquor licenses are enforced by the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission. Bond Tubbs, a TABC agent in charge, said agents were at the concert and administrative charges are currently pending with the state. Tubbs said she likely faces a fine for violation. Justice said she has also contacted TABC about surrendering her liquor license as Doc Holliday’s, which opened Jan. 7, will soon close its doors. She said she’d like to spend more time with her family. “I just wanted everyone to know that this was on our terms not anyone else’s.”

COLD PLAY Old Man Winter stopped by for an early visit on Monday, Nov. 29, bringing with him a mix of rain and snow. A total of 2-4 inches of snow fell over the county from Monday afternoon to Tuesday morning, prompting school officials to delay the start of school on Tuesday by two hours. Despite the cooler temps to start the week, highs will be in the mid- to upper 50s through the weekend.

COVINGTON DIAMOND CLUB presents

Holiday Tour of Homes The Covington Diamond Club will host its annual Holiday Tour of Homes on Sunday, Dec. 11 from 2 to 5 p.m. Tickets for this year’s event will be $10 and may be purchased from any Covington High School baseball team player or at Wrather Dental Center. The annual holiday event is a fundraiser for the Covington Charger baseball program. Mr. and Mrs. Connie Evans 307 Fairway Drive

ing in several bedrooms and downstairs hallway completed the renovations. The English home is just over 4,000 square feet and contains four bedrooms, three and a half baths, a formal living and dining room, family room, kitchen, playroom and utility room. It is located just outside the city limits and sits on three acres inside a cove so traffic and noise is minimal. The English family enjoys spending time with family and friends in the outdoors patio and pool area, which also includes an outdoors fireplace for cooler weather.

The master bathroom has a unique copper bathtub and the home’s interior is furnished with numerous pieces of custom made furniture, bathroom vanities, kitchen cabinets and countertops, and a metal stair rail. Amy’s artwork and creativity can be found throughout the house. She enjoys mixing elegant design with rustic details. The home’s second floor is a large room, which the children use as a sports room. It contains a concession stand, which will be open for visitors during the holiday tour. The Howards enjoy entertaining friends and family at their beautiful home located in the Charleston community. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Lazure, III 1028 Hall Rd.

Mr. and Mrs. Ryan Howard 3521 Charleston Gift Rd. The Evans home is located in Fairway Estates and was built in 2007 by Southern Custom Homebuilders. As the former model home for Fairway Estates, many people have toured the home, but it will appear very different today to visitors on the Holiday Tour as the Evans family estate. The Evans love inviting friends over to watch movies and sporting events in the theater room. The enormous kitchen is a cook’s dream space with custom cabinetry and marble countertops and the master suite engulfs the homeowners in the lap of luxury. Although, the Evans fell in love with their home for the design and custom features, they feel what truly makes it a home is their family’s collection of antiques, which have been handed down through the generations and collected from their travels abroad. Dr. and Mrs. John English 70 Harvest Cove Originally built in 2004 by David and Sonya Sage, the English’s home is located in Turning Leaf Estates and was purchased by the family in Aug. 2005. The addition of a large family room, expansion of the outdoors patio, as well as installing an inground pool and landscaping was completed shortly after they moved in.

The Howard’s home is a two-story house built in 2005. The house was designed by Amy Howard and Mr. M. B. Howard, grandfather of Ryan, drew the plans. Ryan and his father, Mike Howard, did the majority of the interior labor. The house is on the site of the former home place of Robert and Hazel Deverell and is located on a 10acre rural country setting. Deer, foxes, squirrels and opossum are often seen in the yard. The Howard children, Kalynn and Koen, have plenty of room to play and ride their four-wheeler. The home contains a large family room with fireplace, formal living and dining rooms, brick accented kitchen with island, breakfast room and a sunroom, which leads out to the patio. Three bedrooms are located on the first floor and young Koen’s bedroom is especially interesting with a tree and bobcat lying on a branch. His bed is made from

The Lazure’s stately two-story home was built in 2008 by APEX HOMES in a modern Colonial style. It is expressive of classical Greek and Roman architecture and features clean, symmetrical lines and grand Doric columns. The home contains an open floor plan featuring a magnificent foyer with a dramatic iron-railed banister lining the staircase. The downstairs hosts a cozy family room with gas fireplace, formal dining room, nursery, guest office, laundry room and one and a half baths. The upstairs contains a child’s bedroom, playroom, a guest bedroom, two full baths and a masculine media room any man would be proud to own. The home’s focal points include lighted, tray ceilings in the master bedroom and custom cherry cabinets in the kitchen, which create a warm atmosphere that is perfect for family living. Whether enjoying the sunrise on the inviting back porch swing or the sunset while standing on the second floor balcony, the porches on this home are a welcoming addition for any homeowner.

Disability Insurance: Go Long An illness or accident will keep one in five workers out of work for a least a year during their working careers, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. And Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) might not help, because, in any given year, most claims are denied. In fact, in 2007 only about 38 percent of the 2.2 million people who applied for SSDI benefits actually received them, according to the Social Security Administration. So, while you are healthy and working, ask some questions about your employer’s disability insurance plan. What does it cover and for how long? Many employers provide short-term

disability plans because they are relatively inexpensive, but as we’ve seen, many disabilities last a year or longer. Find out if your employer offers any long-term disability coverage, which can provide benefits until you reach age 65. If so, think about purchasing as much as you can. If you can’t get enough coverage at work, consider a policy from an outside provider. Basically, you need enough of a monthly disability insurance benefit to replace your net takehome pay, so that your current lifestyle does not change. Disability insurance policies vary widely in coverage and premium, so shop around before purchasing one. Take full advantage of your employer’s life and disability insurance plans. But if this coverage isn’t enough, get what you need on your own. You’ll be making a smart investment. This article was written by Edward Jones on behalf of your Edward Jones financial advisor.

Sending Christmas and love to Kuwait

Family members and friends of soldiers from the Tennessee National Guard 268th Military Police (MP) Company based in Ripley, recently spent an afternoon stuffing stockings with snacks, toiletries, small toys and books to send to the local unit currently deployed in Kuwait. The unit left West Tennessee in September and arrived in the Middle East in mid-October. They are expected to return home mid-spring. Picture by Sherri Onorati

TATTOO

Continued from A4 a Bachelor degree so applied for a direct commission to the Navy. Things were going great as the Navy was growing, my officer candidate package was excellent and I had references from Navy Commanders, Congressmen and others of influence. Though initially excited about my prospects, the officer recruiter handling my application quit calling or returning calls. I finally went to see him and he told me that right before he submitted my package to the selection board, he noticed that it was annotated on my physical documents that I had a tattoo. He said that “officers and gentlemen” don’t have tattoos. It was an unwritten rule at the time, but a careerstopper just the same. I did not get the commission I had worked so hard to obtain. Life is not always fair, and that’s why it’s even more important that you don’t do anything that could come back to haunt you years later. If you feel the need for a tattoo, get a Cracker Jack box and go to town, with the knowledge that you can wash it away when it’s no longer cool.

The Civil War in Tipton County Compiled by Russell Bailey, Tipton County Historian

Tipton soldiers in the “Southern Guards Artillery” witnessed “a terrible accident” at Columbus, Kentucky on Nov. 11. A soldier recalled “the bursting of the large gun (cannon) called the ‘Lady Polk’: “This was a 128 pound rifle gun, one of the best in the Confederacy. The day of the Battle of Belmont the gun had been used with considerable effect upon the enemy on the opposite side and in the evening the gun was left loaded, having been loaded while it was very hot. Today, Gen. (Leonidas) Polk wishing to further try the range of the gun ordered one of the gunners to raise it to its greatest elevation and fire it. The gunner who was an old artillerist remonstrated as did Gen. J. P. McCown… but Gen. Polk again ordered the cannoneer to fire the piece and on his refusal another gunner was ordered to fire it, when it bursted killed 14 men and slightly wounding a great number. The man who fired it was nearly blown to atoms. Gen. Polk himself was wounded…” During November Tipton, furnished an additional two and one half companies for Confederate infantry service. Captain Bartlett M. Browder’s “Sons of Liberty”

company was enrolled at Clopton near present-day Brighton on the 4th. The company mustered 110 volunteers. During the war more recruits were added and at least 32 of the men died in service. Captain Edward Osborne Shelton’s Company of 97 volunteers was enrolled on the 16th at Mt. Zion (Munford). Fifteen of the soldiers were known to have died in the War, including Capt. Shelton Captain Orrin D. Weaver of the Quito-Drummonds area was instrumental in raising a company in northern Shelby and southern Tipton. The volunteers met at Shelby Station (Brunswick, Shelby County) on the 26th and formed their unit. At least 50 of the volunteers were Tiptonians. Captain Weaver, age 69, died during the War. Three of his grandsons served in the company, Ben, John and Joseph Mason. These three units became Companies G., A., and C., respectively, of the 51st Tennessee Regiment. A fourth company designated “K” was organized in early 1862 and added to the regiment. A lady from Idaville (near Atoka) wrote about Browder’s company: “Jim Moore & Johnson McCain called and took dinner with us last week… Jimmy Dickson came Saturday

night… It will perhaps be his last visit as they wish to get off soon. They have to uniform themselves, when they can, and get guns in the county and they are scarce. They have so many hindrances that they progress very slowly. Their uniform is brown jean trimmed with black. They have named their company the ‘Sons of Liberty.’” John A. McGuire of the “Tipton Rifles,” Co. I, 4th Tennessee Infantry died in a hospital at Columbus, Kentucky on Nov. 18. He was 18 years old. Captain Montgomery Lynch, the engineer officer at Fort Pillow, wrote to General L. Polk on Nov. 26: “Tomorrow we will be left with only 42 hands (Negroes.) I am told more Negroes could be had if transportation were furnished. The Mars is at New Madrid… Col. Williamson being absent… I understand that Captain Winter is about to convert the Sappers and Miners into an artillery company and will enlist the Irish force now at work here. If so, I will have neither mechanics or laborers… the main body of the work is done… now if you will be pleased to authorize me to employ laborers and mechanics and you appoint a superintendent to work under my direction, I will feel once more it is possible to get through.”

Dunlap Retirement Center Kathy Keiter 476-7014 Hello everybody! Well... how do we like this snow? I love it myself! After spending 20 years in Wyoming, it’s kind of nice to have it every once in a while, but that’s as far as I want to go with snow. It allowed the kids to get to sleep in Tuesday morning, and the fact that it really didn’t accumulate on the roads and sidewalks… I can handle that! I thought sure I was gonna’ have to get the new maintenance man good‘in “broke in shoveling snow!" Ha! Ha! I would like to officially welcome our new maintenance man, Jeff Yarbro, to our Dunlap family! Welcome Jeff! We’re so glad you’re here! Please continue to keep our dear Ms. Tricky Hoffman in your prayers! She is now at Covington Manor Rehab due to surgery on a broken bone. We love you Ms. Tricky!

They had one, but it got worn out. We have several real animal lovers out here and they

all love to feed them.

Sorry about last week’s column. I got up early Tuesday morning and started baking and later that day it hit me - I forgot the column! Senior moment I guess ‘cause that’s never happened before! I got a train car cake pan for my birthday from the Weir/Dickey household and baked it for Brian’s birthday on the 20th. It was so cute -bought a bag of rootbeer barrel candy and put it on some cars, used cinnamon discs for wheels and piped black icing on some cars for coal. Christina Evins had come home with us that Sunday and we fed her pizza then she went and had the train cake with us. We had the best fried turkey on Thanksgiving, thanks to Justin. James and I, along with Clint and Courtney Gurley, had the entire traditional feast at the Harrell household and everyone enjoyed playing with Lyla. You can say just about anything and she will repeat it after you. She is sharp! Yesterday I finally got to see “Breaking Dawn” with Cammy Evans. I feel like I’m the last woman on earth to see it, having missed the big first weekend. It was as good as expected. Gotta wait till next November

Jamestown Darsay Burton

Greetings, over the weekend I visited my Godmother, Ellouise Vaughn of Covington who’s now a resident of a fine nursing home in Memphis. She’s adjusting nicely to her new surroundings and has the support of loving family and friends. Thanksgiving day was very quite here, no company, just family and friends calling to say hello. With football games and the Lifetime Channel’s Christmas specials, I was very relaxed. Didn’t do Black Friday; never have, never will! My oldest son Kelly, who lives in Fontana, Calif., told me they were out from around 6 a.m. until after midnight but that his wife, Danielle was elated to have gotten lots of really good deals. Willie Mae and Isiah Burton Sr. enjoyed Alma Dye and Earline Potts from Cleveland, Ohio, Cherry Summer and Debra Martin from Nashville, Cherry’s son, Chris, of Chattanooga, brought his wife, Rosanna and Marcus Summer of Ky. visited his grandparents and family for the day. Willie Mae said her sons and their families also dropped in on them, Tyrone and Collie Burton, Edwin and his family and Darrell and his family also. Katerene Harber spent a quiet day at her home this year. LaRue Albritton traveled to Johnson City to be with her daughter Glodean and husband, Ralph Davis. Also, her daughter, Debra Elkins from Nashville, was also on hand with her family. Florene Trent relaxed at home in Jamestown. Mary Burton also relaxed at home with delicious foods coming to her from

for the ending. Love those books/movies! We have to be at Baptist East in the morning for James’ sinus surgery. We knew his nasal passage was crooked and he had a lot of infection but not till we saw the catscan did we know his nose was broken. Could have happened when he played football, when he was in National Guard. Don’t know, but he’s getting it all fixed up. Hope he feels better soon. On our prayer list are Shirley Cook, Jeff Hanks and Todd Townsend, all recovering from surgeries, and Grant Edmonds who is still taking rehab and Jimbo Edmonds, who started his treatments today. Craig Randolph is also taking treatments. Also in my prayers are Sally Deverell, John Evans’ mother, Mike Rogers’ mother and so many others, including all our servicemen and women.

Hi everyone! Let it snow, let it snow! Well, I suppose this is the way to start winter; I’m quite ready for any large accumulation yet. The freezing weather does not help the “old achy bones.” Well, of course I did not have anything to do with Black Friday. I’m still getting over having 27 people for Thanksgiving. I hope yours was a great one. However, I was praying my nephew who has been in Iraq could have made it but he’s not stateside yet. He did spend Thanksgiving in Spain and is presently headed for the United States. Let’s continuing praying for our country and all these wonderful military personnel! Charlie and I have purchased all of our 15 grandchildren’s stocking stuffers. Even my 23-yearold Elizabeth at MTSU still gets her stocking stuffed. It’s fun for all! Salem Presbyterian Church Worship is at 11 a.m. Rev. Charles Todd is the minister. We rejoice with Jason and Anje Morgan over the birth of their son, Elijah Edward Morgan born on Nov. 23. The women’s Bible Study will meet Thursday, Dec. 1 at 6:30 p.m. at the church. Please bring a gift and food for either Tipton Cares or Children’s aware that it’s not the size of the gift that you receive; the thing to remember is “the size of the heart” from which the gift was given.

Snack Pack Project. Happy birthdays this week to Meri Beth Walker and Sarah Champagne. Sharon Presbyterian Church Worship is at 9 a.m. each Sunday morning. Rev. Charles Todd is the minister.

Happy birthdays this week to Jim Edmonds, Charlene Dalrymple, Braxton Brown, Bailey Daniels, Doris Yoakum, John Evans IV, Joshua Evins and Lorie Liles. In closing, speaking of Black Friday, my crazy twin daughters Terri Barber of Centerville and Sherri Ann Kidd did their “twin thing” and left on Thanksgiving and made it back around 6 a.m. on Friday morning. They had a whole night of sharing stories and shopping. Please remember my friend Anna Kiss as she was hospitalized last week. There are so many ill at the present time. Before I forget, I need to thank my grandson, Dalton Barber, for going up into the attic and bringing down all the Christmas stuff and our tree. I think we will find a place for it downstairs following the holidays. Have a great week!

Brighton Elementary receives life-saving donation By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com Thanks to the kindness of a family in Indiana and an alert Tipton County mother, Brighton Elementary recently received a medical equipment donation that makes them a safer school for children with lifethreatening heart conditions. The Schweinberg family of Indiana holds a memorial golf tournament every year in August in memory of their beloved son, Jason, who was born with a congenital heart defect (CHD) and passed away at age 17 on Aug. 9, 2001 during a heart transplant surgery. Since that time, Jasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family has committed themselves to helping families whose children are born with CHDs. The annual golf tournament raises money to provide automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) to schools and childcare facilities. AEDs can be used during sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) to bring the heart back into rhythm. If a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart beat is not returned to normal quickly by being â&#x20AC;&#x153;defibrillatedâ&#x20AC;? their chances of survival can drop seven to 10 percent for every minute during the time their heart is not beating normally. If the SCA is not treated within minutes, the person can die. Having an AED close at hand can make it possible for anyone trained in their use to treat a cardiac arrest victim and increase their chances of survival. Lisa Schaffer, a Brighton mother of six, found out about the Schweinberg family and its commitment to helping children with CHDs. Schafferâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest and youngest sons were born with several CHDs. Her oldest son, Clint, passed away in 1992 at nine weeks due to complications from the heart condition; her young-

est son, five-year-old Eli, will be starting kindergarten next year at Brighton Elementary. Schaffer requested that Brighton area schools be considered as candidates to receive an AED from the proceeds of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memorial golf tournament. Since the tournament began in 2004, the Schweinbergs have placed 11 AEDs in schools across the country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are very expensive machines but all schools should have them,â&#x20AC;? said Schaffer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are an important safety net for children with heart defects.â&#x20AC;? Schaffer was notified by Cathy Schweinberg after the tournament that Brighton Elementary was selected to receive the important medical device and quickly told BES principal Michael Hughes the good news. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful to be given this life-saving device and we thank Mrs. Schaffer for helping to make this possible,â&#x20AC;? said Hughes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It provides a sense of security knowing that we will be able to help a child who may go into cardiac arrest until first responders arrive.â&#x20AC;? School nurse Cindy Hopkins agrees the AED is a valuable piece of equipment to have in the school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Someone who is in cardiac arrest has a better chance of survival if an AED is available,â&#x20AC;? said Hopkins, who is trained in its use. Schaffer is pleased that Brighton Elementary was selected and says its gives her with a sense of peace to know that it will be available in case Eli or any other child ever has need of it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comforting to know that it will be here when Eli starts school next year,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is my baby,â&#x20AC;? she added, smiling.

Young Eli Schaffer poses with the automatic external defibrillators (AED) which was donated to Brighton Elementary by the Schweinberg family in remembrance of their late son, Jason. Fiveyear-old Eli suffers from congenital heart defects (CHD) and depends on the availability of an AED to help keep his heart in rhythm. Standing behind Eli is BES principal Michael Hughes, Lisa Schaffer and school nurse Cindy Hopkins.

Dyersburg State breaks ground on new learning resource center/Tipton County library By JUSTIN HANSON WMC-TV Despite the rain, community leaders, state officials, members of the Tennessee Board of Regents along with members of the Dyersburg State Community College administration, student body, faculty and staff gathered on Wednesday, November 16 at the DSCC Jimmy Naifeh Center at Tipton County to celebrate the ground breaking for the new Learning Resource Center/Student Center and Tipton County Public Library. Before the actual ground breaking, State Representative and Speaker Emeritus Jimmy Naifeh, Tennessee Board of Regents Chancellor John Morgan, State Senate Majority Leader Mark Norris, State Representative Minority Leader Craig Fitzhugh, State Senator Roy Herron, Tipton County Executive Jeff Huffman, Covington Mayor David Gordon, DSCC President Karen Bowyer, and DSCC Foundation Board Immediate Past Chair David Hayes each spoke on the history and the importance of the project to the more than 200 gathered in the auditorium in the Academic Building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Several of us have dreamed of a new facility which includes the DSCC Learning Resource Center and the Tipton County Public Library at the DSCC Jimmy Naifeh Center at Tipton County. The ground breaking ceremony signals the beginning of this new structure which is scheduled for completion by fall of 2013. It will provide much needed space for our students. This new space includes computer classrooms and labs; an enhanced student tutoring lab; study rooms; an activities space with table tennis, pool and Wii exercise programs. It will also house Student Government offices,â&#x20AC;? said DSCC President Karen Bowyer. After their remarks, 26 representatives from the state legislature, the Tennessee Board of Regents, local government, the community, the college, the library board met outside to lift the first shovels of wet dirt.

ton County government and DSCC. By sharing library and learning resource center facilities, the college and the community will underscore the importance of lifelong learning. As a part of the planning, representatives from Dyersburg State did extensive research by contacting 12 join-use libraries across the country to learn how this type of facility has been successfully executed in design, operations and programming. Actual construction work is scheduled to begin in the spring, and the building is expected to be completed in the fall of 2013. Jim Boggan of the firm McGe-

hee, Nicholson, Burke, PA is the project architect. Funding for the project was provided by the special capital outlay for community college approved by the Tennessee General Assembly in its 2010 session. The funding was made available to address the enrollment growth at DSCC. The Tennessee Board of Regents approved the project in December of 2010.

Cooking with Claudia - it's all in the technique! I can remember watching my mother bake a cream pie. People are so amazed when I say we had a freshly baked pie almost every night for dinner. No wonder I was always “pleasingly plump” as my daddy used to say! Anyway, back to the pies. Mother would make the same cream pie recipe, but change it by adding cocoa, or lemon, or banana, or caramelized sugar. The technique was always the same—the little bit of varied ingredients made completely new creations. I have learned to used techniques, but change up the ingredients—therefore it is hard to give anyone my recipe—it varies all the time. I will give you an example. Everyone knows how to make Ham Rolls; they are easy to make and are always good. The basic recipe—1 cup butter, melted; 3 T prepared mustard; 3 T poppy seeds one small onion, grated; 1 lb. deli ham, shredded, 2 cups Grated Swiss cheese; 3 pkgs Pepperidge Farm Party Rolls. Directions: Melt butter. Add mustard, poppy seed and onion. Slice through each roll, Remove top and spread both sides with butter mixture. Combine ham and cheese. Place on roll bottoms, then cover with top. Bake in roll container for 10 to 15 min. in 400 degree oven. For First Friday Coffee last month, I wanted this same idea changed to complement my Thanksgiving theme. This time I used Hawaiian rolls, only because I couldn’t find the others. I melted the butter and mustard, leaving out the onion. I used deli turkey, sliced thin, fontina cheese and a fried sage mayonnaise aioli! For the second package of rolls, I made a pineapple mango chutney mayonnaise, with the turkey and swiss cheese. There were completely different tastes going on but they were both very good. So my words to you this season—don’t be afraid to be creative! When I tell someone I made a fried sage aioli or a pineapple mango chutney aioli, they will look at me either like I am crazy or I must really be a good cook—for me, the truth is most likely somewhere in between!

Second Thursday Lunch in November was held at Post Office Bar-B-Que.

Every time I go into a store that handles these things, I buy the most unique ones I can find. I know that something will come up that I can use a new jam or chutney with an old recipe. Just vary the technique. If you have a special recipe you would like for me to try, please email me, claudia@southtipton.com

MAPLEWOOD 28, COVINGTON 7

Covington's run in state semifinals By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com

Last Friday’s Class 4A state semifinal game in Nashville between Maplewood and Covington presented the Chargers with a number of “firsts” of the season, none of which they wanted. In falling 28-7, CHS scored less than 10 points for the first time this year. For the first time no Charger back had at least 100 yards rushing in a game. Britt Dunn threw his first interception of the season, a pick-six, after the issue had been decided in the fourth period. And for the first time all year an opposing team had more rushing yards (319-287) than CHS and held the Chargers to less than 300 rushing yards in a game. Terrence Pierson led CHS with 99 yards rushing and Colliar Robinson added 58. Johnston White, who finished the season with a school-record 2,128 yards, was limited to 82 yards on 22 carries. Maplewood (11-3), which will play Greenville for the Class 4A state title on Saturday, gave Covington (11-3) a gift on the opening possession. CHS forced a punt and when the snap sailed over the punter’s head the Chargers pounced on the ball at the Panther 45 yard line. Twelve plays later, after keeping the drive alive with a fourth and five conversion, Britt Dunn scored on a 1-yard sneak for what would prove to be the Chargers' only tally of the night. It did not take long for Maplewood to answer.

No tears in Nashville In 15 years of covering high school sports, I've seen my share of tears. When seasons, and for seniors, careers, come to an end, the tears from players, fans, cheerleaders and sometimes coaches usually start flowing. Occasionally I'll even get a lump in my throat when one of the teams I'm covering sees a season come to an end in particularly painful fashion. I know it's kind of morbid, but when it became apparent that

The Brighton boys basketball team has gotten the 2011-12 basketball season off to a pretty good start. Last week the Cardinals defeated USJ 74-69 in the Martin Westview Classic and took out Colllierville, 96-60, at home. Demarius Adams, Demetrius Dyson and Ricky Foster each scored 15 points in last Saturday's win over USJ in Martin. Brighton trailed by one at the half before rallying late. The game against Collierville got out of hand early with the Cardinals (3-1) jumping out to a 54-31 halftime lead. Dyson Brighton with 25 points, Adams added 16 and Dedrick Muex scored 13. Brighton also suffered its first loss of the season in Martin on Friday in a 56-49 loss to Bolivar. In Lady Cardinal action, Brighton (0-4) fell to Millington on Thursday in Martin, 38-24. Collierville defeated Brighton 57-42 last Tuesday. Lindey Lane led Brighton with 13 points in each game. SEE BHS, PAGE B2

Covington’s basketball teams took to the road over Thanksgiving for holiday tournaments in Huntsville, Ala., and New Madrid, Mo., with each squad splitting a pair of games. In Huntsville, the Lady Chargers (2-2) squeaked out an opening game 39-36 win over Huntsville in the Madison Academy Tourney. TaSheena Adams paced CHS with 11 points and Alaina Strong of Huntsville led all scorers with 15. “We came out with fire and desire,” said Covington coach Dion Real, “ taking an 11-2 first quarter lead and then played not to lose. We are making a lot of early season mistakes and must improve our basketball knowledge.” CHS’ second game against Sparkman (Ala.) was a 57-30 loss. Trailing 11-9 at the end of one period, Covington “ lost focus and desire,” according to Real and trailed by 20 at the break. Precious Harvey had 10 for CHS, followed by Iesha Carruthers with eight. Sparkman’s Alexis Jennings led all scorers with 27.

BALL

Continued from B1 Sure, there were some long faces on the sideline and in the crowd, but no tears. I thought about it for a while and I think I know why. It may sound sappy, but by any measure Covingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season was a rousing success. And I think everybody in Nashville Friday night associated with Covington program realized it. Two years ago at this time Covington was sitting at home pondering a third straight 2-8 season. Head coach Marty Wheeler, hired before the 2009 season, was facing a

major rebuilding job. The days of playoff runs and double-digit win seasons seemed liked a lifetime ago. But things got fixed, and they got fixed quickly. After making it to the playoffs last season for the first time in four years, Covington won 11 games this year and made it to the state semifinals for the first time since 2005. Three players â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Johnston White, Terrence Pierson and Colliar Robinson â&#x20AC;&#x201C; rushed for over 1,000 yards, and White set a new school record

with 2,046. Considering Carlos Williams, the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading rusher in 2010, played just two games before an injury kept him out the rest of the season, Covingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offensive production was nothing short of amazing. An undersized but effective offensive line and a defense with a penchant for getting stops when it mattered most (see double-overtime win over Obion County) all added up to a season that nobody will forget anytime soon. Following the loss Friday, Wheeler, the man

who orchestrated Covingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reversal of fortune, stood on the 50yard line at Maplewood Stadium as the fans filed out and summed up his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transformation thusly: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that, once weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had time to reflect back on it, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll sink in and mean a lot more â&#x20AC;Ś These guys coming as far as they have from two years ago says a lot about their character â&#x20AC;Ś We feel like this senior class has helped to get our football program back on the right track.â&#x20AC;? And that, Charger fans, is nothing to cry about.

panther 11 in the second period, but Covingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense stalled. Maplewood had a great opportunity as well, setting up shop with a first and goal at the CHS 10 late in the second quarter following a 65-yard Vanlier jaunt. His heroics were in vain on that occasion as the Chargers stuffed him at the 6 on a fourth and goal try. CHS drove to the Maplewood 39 just before the half ended. It would be their deepest penetration of Panther territory until the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final possession. Covingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first possession of the second half lasted 11 plays but only

covered 26 yards. A 12-yard punt set the Panthers up with field position at their 42. Maplewood fumbled on second down but recovered at the Charger 38. It was huge. Vanlier scored on the next play for a 14-7 panther lead. Vanlierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final TD of the night came with 10:44 left in the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did not play our best against a good team,â&#x20AC;? said Wheeler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maplewood is big, fast and athletic and their defense was really good.â&#x20AC;? As for the season, Wheeler was effusive in his praise for players and fans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids responded

and bought in to what we wanted to do. You can never anticipate playing 14 games. It has been exciting and rewarding. This team has rebuilt the CHS foundation we have been known for â&#x20AC;Ś To our fans, I can truly say that one of the brightest spots last Friday was seeing all of them in the stands. Seeing that big crowd in Nashville brought back some great memories. It was great to see. The team, staff and I could not be more appreciative of the fans support in Nashville and all season long.â&#x20AC;?

The second game changed Realâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thinking as the Chargers dropped a 61-59 decision to Kennett (Mo.) on a desperation 3-pointer at the buzzer. The bright spot of the night was Alstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 15 points and 11 rebounds.

Chronological Bible Discipleship coming to Tipton County in 2012 By EMILY PEYTON COOK Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither--whatever they do prospers. Psalm 1:1-3 In 2008, I was introduced to Chronological Bible Discipleship, the method of studying the Bible daily that transformed my spiritual life like no other teaching tool. According to Donna Gaines, who teaches this curriculum at Bellevue Baptist Church, it’s chronological, because you read through the stories in the Bible in chronological order to see God as He reveals Himself from the beginning to the end. It’s biblical because it’s based on the text of the Scripture itself, allowing Scripture to speak for itself and to shape our response to God and to our circumstances. And it’s discipleship because it emphasizes the passing on of knowledge, experience, passion, wisdom, and view of God. CBD utilizes the Bible’s story to help women develop a biblical worldview—not merely behavioral modification, but life transformation. It enables women to gain a high view of God and Scripture, as it alone reveals God as who He is—not as we want Him to be or even who we think that He is. It also guides women to discover truth for themselves— to become “self feeders,” building in them a habit of reading the

Bible actively by asking questions: about who was next on my disciWhat’s happening? What does pleship list.

Thursday, December 1, 2011 â&#x20AC;˘ THE LEADER â&#x20AC;˘ B9

By Arnold Bull Effective Nov. 19, 2011, Tennessee deer season will be open and shooters using guns, muzzleloaders or archery will be legal to take deer. In Unit A, which includes Tipton County, during this season we can take a total of four deer. You can, also, take three antlered deer (only one buck per day) to limit out for the season unless you take bucks on TWRA or NWR managed hunts where the bucks are noted as bonus deer. Fluorescent orange of 500 square inches is a requirement. The requirement can be fulfilled by an orange hat and vest, usually. If in doubt, wear more orange. It is for your protection. This requirement is for each person in the field regardless whether you have a gun or not. It is safety equipment and for our own good, it will help us all stay safe. After bagging a deer, remember to tag the animal and take it to a checking station. Buchananâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grocery in Mason will be open. The Covington Fire Department on Tennessee Avenue behind Kroger will be checking in deer. Munford Fire Department located at 1397 College St. will be checking in deer also. Haddadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Munford will also be checking in deer, along with Turnageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grocery at Randolph and Jeff Mason is a checking station. Hopefully, you have already this season checked your deer stand ropes to haul up your guns, muzzleloaders, or bows to make sure they are safe along

BMH nurses honored

with the checking the deer stands also. Have you sighted in your rifle this year or do you think it is still sighted in from last year? I have done that myself, a couple of times and, so far, I have been right, luckily. It is better to shoot and sight the rifle in before season. Now, after you bag the deer, remember to leave evidence of species or sex of big game animals. If it is a buck, it will have horns, hopefully, more than three inches. It is a state requirement so they keep up with type and amount of animals harvested. Leave any big game found dead alone. You have to have permission to move the animal. If you would like to donate a deer to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hunters for the Hungry,â&#x20AC;? take it out to Jeff Masonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s processing plant on Clowes Road. Jeff will process the deer and take the bounty to Tipton Cares and they will distribute it to the people of need in Tipton County. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great program. Remember if it is a buck it must have at least one antler measuring three inches or more. Also, do not shoot any albino deer. They are on the prohibited list. One other thing: email your pictures to me at arnold@bullinsurance. com. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s see how many pictures we can get in the paper. Good luck and happy hunting to all of you and be safe out there. Arnold Bull hosts â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wildlife Chatterâ&#x20AC;? on WKBJ and has won numerous awards for his writing and television work.
