Lance Cpl. Christopher P. J. Levy, 21, of Ramseur, N.C., died Dec. 10 of wounds sustained Dec. 7 while conducting combat operations.

Brown, a 2004 gradu-

ate of Munford High School, grew up with the daughters of Munford Mayor Dwayne Cole. He reportedly attended Beaver Baptist and River of Life churches.

Wednesday he was expected to be moved to a military treatment facility in Germany, then on to Walter Reed Medical Center in Maryland.

MUNFORD

New fire station to be dedicated

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com A new era in firefighting begins today in Munford, one that includes plenty of room to grow.

Beginning with a concert from its high school band, the reigning USSBA National Champions, Munford city officials will dedicate the new fire station at 3 p.m.

“The 14,500-square-foot facility was built through grant funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA),” said Community Development Director Barbara Dorn. “It was one of only two fire station construction grants awarded in the state of Tennessee.”

The other grant, which was awarded in September 2009, was given to to Pigeon Forge. More than 6,000 departments in Tennessee submitted applications for the $210 million that was expected to be distributed statewide, said former fire chief J.R. Bonson.

“This award will help first responders continue to keep our families safe and secure,” the now-former Congressman John Tanner said in 2009. “It is also an important investment in the short-term job creation and long-term economic development that will help spur the economic recovery of our area.”

The new station, which cost $1.8 million, includes three bays deep enough to fit several trucks back-toback, according to Alan Barkelew, the Munford-Atoka Fire Department’s chief since December 2010.

It will also include a day room, kitchen, gymnasium, sleeping quarters, showers, training room, a half and a full kitchen and offices, said the chief.

A museum, featuring the old 1956 Ford fire truck, which was the first fire truck purchased in Munford, will soon be open as well. Barkelew said he also hopes to display old air packs and equipment.

CHRISTMAS LEADER STAFF REPORTS news@covingtonleader.com

This weekend Covington’s Historic Court Square was transformed into a scene from Christmases past, as the inaugural Dickens Christmas event drew hundreds of costumed characters downtown.

Covington Mayor David Gordon was spotted as Ebenezer Scrooge and Tiny Tim (Levi Howell), Jacob Marley (Aric Delashmit) and the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future were also making appearances on the square.

Local eateries served dishes like bangers and mash and figgy pudding, carolers performed in Court Square Park and retail establishments were open late on Saturday and Sunday. Some restaurant owners said Saturday was their best sales day ever and even had to turn away hungry patrons.

Bringing joy to children show them that the police are not just the guys who come to arrest their momma and daddy,� said FOP Lodge #74 President Scottie DeLashmit. “We’re the good guys too. It’s a wonderful event and our guys look forward to it as much as the children.�

For nearly a decade, the local FOP has raised money to gift children the gift of Christmas. Funds are raised through various events, such as golf tournaments, the annual chili cook-off and corporate sponsorships.

This year, 24 children paired with officers and other volunteers for their $100 shopping spree.

One mother said she is especially grateful for the program and the assistance her daughter receives from the FOP members.

By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com Christmas came early for more than 20 Tipton County children last Saturday when they were treated to a shopping spree courtesy of the local Fraternal Order of Police.

The event, FOP Cops and Kids, matched children with law enforcement partners and turned them loose in the toy section of Covington’s local Walmart. This year, officers and family members from every city in Tipton County, as well as the Millington Police Department and the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office, were on hand to help shop. “Our purpose is to bring a bit of happiness to children who have been traumatized and to

“We participate every year and it is awesome every time,� said Donna Downing. “It brings such joy to my daughter as she doesn’t get to go out

very much because she is a bed-ridden child. It means a lot to my family.�

The officers involved have just as much fun as

the children and look forward to participating in the event each year. “I do it for the kids,� said Mason Police Chief James Paris when asked

why he came to help. “It’s so exciting to see their faces light up and the joy it brings them. I enjoy it a lot.�

Pleading for child advocates

By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com CASA of Tipton County recently held its invitational dinner at the Chamber Center in Covington to thank its supporters, encourage community assistance and to help raise money for the child advocate organization in Tipton County.

Established in Tipton County a couple of years ago, Court Appointed Special Advocates, or CASA, as it is more commonly known, is a volunteer organization that works within the court system as advocates for children place in the juvenile court system.

A CASA volunteer, when given a child to represent, will investigate every aspect of the child’s life – home, family, medical, educational and social – and present their findings to the judge so he may make the best decision regarding the child’s situation.

At the November dinner, CASA board members and guest speakers told stories of how CASA has made a difference in their lives, the lives of children and how volunteer efforts have assisted the courts in deciding the best placement for Tipton County children within the court system.

CASA currently has 14 volunteers and more than 40 cases.

General Sessions Court and Juvenile Court Judge William Peeler spoke of the need for CASA and how he and CASA Executive Director Mary Cerniway came together to form CASA in the county. “This is not the judges program, it’s not the juvenile courts program, it is a community’s program where the citizens of our community have volunteered their time and trained to become a CASA,� explained Peeler. “CASA is an invaluable tool for the judge to use to make his best decision. CASA are truly the eyes and ears of the court and they are truly a special advocate for the child and their work helps judges make the best decision for the child they represent.�

Cerniway told dinner guests she hoped the stories they would hear would drive them to action. “You’re going to hear stories that are not unlike the ones within our own county,� Cerniway said. “Maybe someone within the range of my voice will be touched and will want to become a CASA volunteer because by supporting CASA, you are choosing to champion the children in our county.�

Emergency Management Director Tommy Dunavant spoke of his family’s experience with CASA and how the organization helped his family. He urged those not affiliated with CASA to consider helping the organization. “Thank you, CASA, for what you do for this county,� said Dunavant. “You provided a very valuable resource and I would urge those not involved with CASA to step up and do something for this organizaSEE CASA, PAGE A3

CASA

Continued from A2 foster care and I ended up in St. Francis. I was then placed with my current foster mother and given a CASA volunteer.

If it hadn’t be for [CASA volunteer] I wouldn’t be in a lot of the activities I am now. Honestly, without the help of my CASA, I don’t know where I would be right now; she’s helped me get prepared for college and she and my [foster] mama have given me structure and shown me that there are people who do love me.”

One of the evening’s most heart wrenching story and pleas came from a Tipton County business owner who revealed she had been a foster child and she had

lived the stories that the CASA volunteers were encountering.

“I am that five-yearold that was beaten. I am the 11-year-old girl that was forced to keep a secret. I am the 16-year-old girl who fought my way through everything and I am the 18-year-old girl who ended up in jail. I didn’t have anybody and it is by the grace of God that I am here today. If I had had that person, a CASA volunteer, there’s no telling how different my life could have

been,” she said, sobbing during a standing ovation. “I wonder how my life would have been or what kind of person I could have been if I would have had just one person to love me. Please be that one person for some child.”

actually did better than we had done before in three out of four categories. There is no doubt that in the area of science we need to spend a little bit more time and a little more work on that. We are moving in the right direction but we are certainly not where we want to be so set the bar and we’ll reach it.”

Dawson also mentioned the school district is pleased with the ACT scores for Tipton County which shows an average of 20.1 in comparison to the state’s average of 19.5.

“We are extremely pleased with our ACT scores,” said Dawson.

“We are above the state average and we now have every 11th grader takes that test, where a few years ago that wasn’t the case.”

Tipton County’s graduation rate at 96.5 percent is also considerably higher than the state’s average rate of 85.5 percent.

Charlotte Fisher, director of operations told the board the district’s transportation department had been doing a wonderful job meeting the challenges of weath-

er related issues during the past couple of weeks.

“Our transportation department has done a really good job with assisting us with monitoring the roads throughout the county and maintaining the buses with the cold mornings we’ve been having,” she said.

“We do want to say hats off to them because this can be a great challenge to them based on how our school district is designed and we want to applaud their efforts.”

Business manager Bobby Alsbrook gave the board an update on the school district’s financial status telling the board as of Nov. 30, there were $11,223,785.52 available in the general fund, $191,391.29 in the federal fund, $1,806,016.65 in the food service fund and $1,382,499.97 in the district’s construction fund.

Tipton County has a general purpose budgeted revenue and expenses of $76 million and has obligated $26,781,441 or 35 percent of its budget during the first five months of school, down 1.5 percent from the same time last year.

The Tipton County Board of Education

meets the second Thursday of each month at 7 p.m. The next meeting will be Jan. 12, 2012. The meetings are held in the board room at the Tipton County Department of Public Instruction, 1580 Highway 51 South in Covington. All meetings are opened to the public.

BOARD

Continued from A1 for this designation, the board must meet certain requirements in four key areas: planning, policy, promotion and board development. If granted the designation, the status will apply for two years, after which the board may reapply for continued status.

The director of instruction, Georgia Dawson, gave a brief report on the 2011 Tipton County Schools report card which shows that Tipton County Schools has raised its three-year average in academic growth achievement. In grades K-8 subjects of math, reading/language, social studies and science, students improved a total of five points with science being the only subject with no measured improvement.

“We cannot tell you how excited and how proud we are of our teachers, administrators and our students when we can show the kind of growth that we are able to show in our achievements,” said Dawson during the meeting. We

STATION

Continued from A1 add to over the years,” he said. “I don’t want it to be exclusively for our department, either.”

The new station will be home to eight fulltime firefighters, one part-time firefighter and 35 volunteer firefighters, said Dorn. The primary response area for MAFD is 42.3 miles; the department also provides automatic mutual aid to other departments within Tipton County, extending their coverage to 233 square miles.

Many who have seen the station as it’s been constructed have one thing to say about it: “It is huge!”

“We have more room for expansion,” said Barkelew. “We have an up-to-date training room and can house all of our equipment in one station. There’s so much more room now and everything has it’s place.”

The dedication and open house will take place from 3-6 p.m. at the station, which is located on Munford Ave. between College Street and Beaver Road.

The keynote speaker, whose name is being withheld to protect her privacy, gave a first person account of her struggles within the foster care system and how her life changed when she was given a CASA volunteer.

“I wasn’t very blessed when I was young; my stepfather was a very abusive man. When I got older I realized that wasn’t how it was supposed to be,” she said, describing the abuse and various foster homes she had been in. “In 2009, I was placed back into

Spending your money at home in our county not only helps local businesses, it also provides much-needed revenue for our school system.

During these hard economic times, we must support each other in order to prosper. Most all of our wants and needs can be found in our cities from Covington to Munford and all points in between. Wishing you and yours a very safe, happy and prosperous holiday season.

by Red Nosed Rudolph. I believed wake up, sure enough all my treaslipping down the chimney with a sures were under the tree like they big bag of toys was no problem. were supposed to be. I believed Santy had taken good care of me.

No Sirrrrreeeee!!!

Neighbor, when you are young Another time, I thought I had seen

Santy, and ran outside with the lantern swinging in the breeze. There were footprints bigger than a rain barrel right off the front steps. I learned later why they so big!!! I believed Santy had been there.

Sure enough!!! Boy, ole Santy was smart as I never did catch that slick rascal no matter how hard I tried.

Neither did any of my friends, but we always vowed, “ We’d git ‘im next year”.

I always believed in the tooth fairy. I never saw him, but I knew he was there. Remember when all you had to do was put an extracted, baby tooth molar under your pillow and the next morning there was a new, shiny nickel and the twisted, outdated chomper had disappeared??? I believed the tooth fairy left it!!

I never saw the Easter bunny hide any eggs, but I know he did many times. Why?? Because I believed he did. The same way you believed when you were growing up. Enjoy your time to believe just like I did...Encourage the youngsters to believe and hold on to a dream. Hey, as adults we all dream. Admit it. Let the chandelier swingers dream and believe as the real and sometimes vicious world will overtake them soon enough. Everybody has got to believe in something. Even folks that believe in nothing. I mean when you believe in nothing, even that becomes something. Think about that and chew on it.

Beloved, be there for the kids and help them believe in Santy while they can. Dream with me as they circle the Christmas tree trying to decide which play pretty they want to fetch. Hold them in your arms as they grab you around the neck and give you that big hug and kiss, telling you how much they love you and they hope Santy enjoyed his milk and cookies.

No matter how old you are, as you relax in the laid back recliner, drop of into the fantasy world for a short period of time and believe with the little angels and relive how it was when you were all excited about Santy. If you are fortunate enough and all your kids are grown, just take a few minutes and dream with them. Be careful what you dream for, as sometimes dreams come true. Hold ’em, love ’em, dream with ’em and pray with ’em as this is that time of year to Rejoice Dear Hearts!!!!!!!!

Let Me Hear a Big OLE Jolly “Ho Ho Ho” Deep in the Heart of Dixie Where We All Say----GLORY!!!!!!

Kathleen Glass becomes the bride of Bo Burk Charlie and Judy Glass of Covington are pleased to announce the marriage of their daughter, Kathleen Frances Glass to Bo Burk, son of Billy and Evelyn Burk of Munford, which took place on Saturday, October 1, 2011 at 5:30 p.m. at First United Methodist Church in Covington. The Reverend Tim Carpenter officiated the happy event and Eddie Mac Owen and the Memphis Symphony Orchestra String Quartet provided the music.

The bride was given in marriage by her father wearing a Maggie Sottero strapless A-line gown of Alencon ivory lace over light gold romance satin with crystals, beads and sequins and a full length lace edged veil. She carried a bouquet of calla lilies with a lace handkerchief, made from an infant cap the bride wore when she was baptized, tucked inside. The maid of honor was Miss Katherine Coulston and the honorary maid of honor was Miss Christy Barton. Bridesmaids were Mrs. Suzanne Glass, Mrs. Janna Glass, Miss Kirby Powell, Mrs. Laura Forrester, Mrs. Kim Gramling and Mrs. Regina Goulder. The ring bearer was Eli Gramling and the Bible bearer was Jonathon Glass, nephews of the bride. The guest book attendant was Abigail

Glass, niece of the bride.

Bill Burk, father of the groom, served as best man, with Justin Glass, Jason Glass, Taylor Forrester, Michael Gramling, Matt Griffin, Mike Forbess and Neal Oldham serving as groomsmen. Ushers were Jeffrey Glass, William Allen Wooten, Clay Tatum and Brent Chunn.

Honored guests were grandmother of the bride Mrs. Ruth Glass and Mr. and Mrs. Rick Barton.

An outside reception was held after the wedding at the bride’s parents’ home catered by Simply Delicious and with entertainment provided by Memphis All Stars. The event’s cakes were made my Mom and Me, with the wedding cake a fourtiered chocolate and white cake with almond bitter cream icing topped with the letter “B” and fresh flowers between the layers. The groom’s strawberry cake was covered with almond butter cream icing and decorated with a University of Memphis theme.

After honeymooning in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, the couple has made their home in Covington.

GET WELL, LIVE WELL, GO HOME Covington Care recently celebrated with patients as they smile while doing the victory walk on their way home. They finished their rehab at Milestone Mountain at Covington Care Center and the staff helped them celebrate their victorious accomplishment.

Jamestown

Darsay Burton

It's almost here! In a few more weeks, it'll be Christmas. For some reasons, holidays have gotten far away from traditions and becoming more commercial. Instead of Christmas being about our savior's holy birth, it's now all about the almighty dollar. Gone now are the days when friends and neighbors ran out to meet and great each other with their smiling faces, and when gifts came from the heart to the heart. When it didn't matter what it cost, but the warm spirit that it came from. If only we could get back to those dear homespun family values, what a wonderful life we would all have. What say we all give it a try? Who knows, it just might be what America truly needs?

On Dec. 9 at 3 p.m. a traditional holiday dinner was served in our home in Memphis. Tyndall and I welcomed our aunts, several of which came from Jamestown. Aunts Florene Trent, LaRue Albritton, Dollie Burton Boykins, Mildred Sherrill, Gloria Sherrill and Mary Burton, along with one of my sisters, Annette Burton, were on board. Dollie, Mildred, Gloria and Annette are now from Covington. And Tyndall's aunts from Memphis, Ann Brewer and Norma Miller Ford, were along to enjoy in the holiday festivities, which everyone enjoyed. Gifts were exchanged after dinner and everyone went back to their homes happy and full. Due to health reasons, Aunts Willie Mae Burton and Katarene Harber of Jamestown were unable to join us. They were indeed missed, especially by me.

Prayfully they will be with us next year as this is the second year that I've hosted my lovely aunts.

The Jolly Conteria Club met on Dec. 10 at 2 p.m. in the lovely home of member Katarene Harber of Jamestown. Menu was traditional pot-luck and gifts were exchanged.

North Star Community Church in Memphis will once again celebrate this upcoming holiday with a festive dinner immediately after a.m. worship service on Dec. 18. Several local policemen and firemen will share this event with North Star and pastor and first lady Dorothy Miller and children Brianna and Wesley Miller, along with guests from one of the local shelters in the area. Denise Westbrook, along with first lady Miller and several of the kitchen's staff, will be doing the fixings and the serving. Debra Bell, vice president of NSCC's ushers board, will be on hand helping out with the details. This event is open for the public and please come and join us for the holidays.

Bright Hill M.B. Church in Jamestown will be having their traditional Christmas service on Christmas Day. Pastor S.P. Cole and first lady Wilada Cole welcomes everyone.

Bright Hill's youth department will be having its Christmas program on Dec. 17 after a.m. worship. Afterwards, gifts will be passed out.

Missionary meeting was canceled due to weather.

Pres. Mary Burton hopes to see everyone as soon as the weather permits.

On our prayer and sick list: Doris and Troy King, Ruth Alston, Bessie Cobbs, Posey Reed and family, Isiah and Willie Mae Burton Sr. and family, Connie and Christine Brown, Carlotta Jones, Floyd White Sr., Shad Alston, Rudolph Boykins and family, Joseph Heaston Sr. and family, Elouise Vaughn, Jessie Lawson, Flossie Woods and family, Beaulah Wakefield and family, Ada Fletcher, Vernard “Big Boy Burton, John and Cleo Thompson and family, Rhonda Heaston-McLin and family, Rev. and Mrs. Richard Coe, Eugene and Gigi Baker, Charlene and David Sneed, Pink Sherrill Jr., Percy White and family, Robert Smith and family, Eula Culbreath and family, John Bunton, Katarene Harber and our men and women in uniform.

Birthday wishes this week: Marsha Burton and Ruth Stone (14), Tyrone Burton and Kalvin Gatlin (15), Cannon Burton (17), Xavier Andrews (19), and minister Pearl Andrews (21).

All for now. Remember when out picking fruits for your holiday table, we are God's fruits. God has special fruit pickers as fruit inspectors. As a Christian, it's wise to maintain perfection because you never know just when you'll be picked.

Hello Friends, I hope all of you are enjoying the holiday festivities. The parades, Christmas programs, school programs there is just so much to do and so much fun this time of year.

Birthdays this time of year are wonderful but also kind of shadowed with all the Christmas stuff. I want to mention a few Anthony Carlisle, Bo Reed, JESSICA HICKS (oh, my goodness, the whole week is for her), Dea Lyles, Dr. Buffy Cook, Kinsey Johnston, and of course my sweet little Hawaiian grandson Jackson turns a big 6 years old. Every time you see these people or any others with birthdays; say it, sing it, or whatever but acknowledge it, please.

Christmas break is finally here. Schools out for the holidays, so all you young drivers please be careful.

Drive DEFENSIVELY instead of OFFENSIVELY. We cherish you please be careful among all the people trying to finish up their shopping.

Enjoy your last week before the BIG week. Love you much. Debe

Hi everyone, only one and a half weeks left for Santa to arrive. Our fifteen stockings are already stuffed. I had to have peace of mind last week while we were away for our 20th wedding anniversary. I’m one that cannot wait to the last minute for anything.

Our trip to Opryland Hotel was marvelous.

Our room was located in the Cascades section, where all the beautiful waterfalls are located.

It was so peaceful and absolutely beautiful. We had shared our honeymoon there 20 years ago, so it naturally brought back a lot of good memo-

ries. We saw the Rockett dancers and shopped around a bit.

If last week had one more minute in it, I would have dropped.

After coming home we had tickets to the singing Christmas tree at Bellevue. Our granddaughters, Hannah, Sarah and Ellen were in it. Following that, my high school class of 64, Humes Christmas party was Saturday night SEE ALMYRA PAGE A9

Kathy Keiter 476-7014 Hello everybody, we’re all gearing up for the “BIG EVENT,” the celebration of the birth of the King!

Christmas yes, but Jesus…absolutely! Merry Christmas to all of you. There, I said it… Merry Christmas…

Merry Christmas! It’s really sad when you “supposedly” can’t say Merry Christmas at Christmas time. I don’t know about you and your house, but “as for me and my house, I will serve the Lord!” I’m not one bit shy about my faith in Jesus Christ! Amen? I pray you all agree!

We have several birthdays this month, Mr. Charles Turnage celebrated his last week on the 8th, and Mr. Freddie Huggins on the 21st, Ms. Hazel Greganti on the 27th, and Ms. Margret Smith on the 30th, Happy Birthday to all of you dear folks, we love you so very much. And sure hope you had a special birthday Charlene.

We’re having so many special events this month and we’re so excited about every one of them. We are especially excited about our friends from “The Barn” coming. They bring so much joy and laughter to our folks with Santa and Elvis and all the singing and fun they bring. They also bring presents to our residents, which puts a smile on their face. But the big event of course is ELVIS and the way he gets down on one knee and sings “Love Me Tender” directly to one of

Mt. Carmel Elaine Watkins

A cold Tuesday night, Hawaii 5-0 in the background, had a bowl of hot vegetable beef soup for supper. Wrapped a few more gifts and I’m ready for the count-down to Christmas.

James is doing well; two more tubes come out of his nose Friday and this will all be history. He already feels better, having his sinuses cleaned out and broken nose fixed.

The snow last Wednesday morning was beautiful! Over three inches and we didn’t know anything about it till the 6 p.m. weather Tuesday night. School was out but the snow melted soon. Second one of the season, and it’s not even Christmas yet.

I rode to Major Roosevelt Otts’ funeral in Batesville, Mississippi, last Friday, with Mike and Bonita Rogers and Jim Edmonds, it was a military funeral with a 21-gun salute. We didn’t go the cemetery but while that service was going on, a bald eagle flew over the small crowd and dipped his wing. Wow is all I can say.

Continued from page A8 and it was a blast! Other classes were invited as well. It had been 20 years since I had seen some of these people. Then my dear friends, Judy and Shorty Dunaway had their annual Santa party in their home this past Sunday evening. It’s always a blast. We kind of pull some funny tricks on each other. We get a chance to take away from others, if we like their gifts better than ours. It’s called Dirty Santa… Ho, Ho, Ho, Santa! Looking forward to next year’s party already. Don’t know how much more I can stand right now, however, I must be ready

the ladies! Get ready Ms. Polly, they’re coming! Sure do miss Ms. Flo being here to enjoy Elvis. We love you and miss you Ms. Flo! I need to ask you all to pray and ask your churches to pray for us as we are going through a pretty tough financial time. Right now our walk-in refrigerator and our walk-in freezer is down. We are trusting the Lord to provide the finances for us to get them back up and running. We have found places for all our food, but poor Ms. Ruth is having to run around like a chicken with her head cut off trying to find the food she needs to send in to the buildings. But God is good and he will provide!

We once again have several rooms available. So if you know of anyone that needs a place to live that no longer needs to live alone, we have room for you and we’d love to have you. Just give me a call at 4767014.

Until next week, I pray you all have a wonderful week. Give plenty of hugs out to those who need them, even if they don’t realize they need one. But the most important thing to remember, is celebrating the birth of the King. Invite Him into your life today, if you never have, and celebrate with us. May God bless you all!

As the preacher said, we found out a lot about Roosevelt after he was gone. He was not only a Green Beret, he was one of the original Green Berets. Alan and his family are in my prayers.

Sympathy also goes to Judy Randolph in the death of her brotherin-law, Billy Joe Davis. That family is in my prayers.

I got my Carl Perkins gifts to the Center Friday morning after a Soil Conservation meeting. Then Liz, Lyla and I drove to Memphis for lunch and to do some shopping.

I totally missed the Dickens event on the Square. Too cold Saturday then busy Sunday. I’ve heard a lot about it though and saw some great pictures on Facebook.

I got a vent-free oak fireplace for our anniversary and Clint put it together for us Sunday. It’s not hooked up yet, but I finally got to decorate a mantle! Always wanted to hang stockings on a mantle!

I spent all morning downloading pictures for three calendars, one for us, our annual one for the Queen of Mt. Carmel, Catherine McCalla, and I got my 100-year-old grandmother, Evelyn Harrington, one of her birthday pictures. Can’t wait to see them! I was right proud of myself!

for my sister’s wedding this Saturday night. I’ve got to find time to get my Christmas cards out soon also. It will all come together soon I’m sure with the Lord’s help.

City of Munford recipient of good news Leader Norris announces energy grant for Munford Senate Majority Leader Mark Norris (R-Collierville) announced today that the city of Munford will receive $100,000 in Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant funds. Munford will use the funds for energy efficient HVAC units and lighting at two city buildings and for LED traffic lights.

“This grant is especially needed this year as the weather puts a strain on city budgets to keep up with utility costs,” said Senator Norris. “These funds will help us be ready for any future needs by improving energy efficiency in our public buildings which are paid for by local taxpay-

ers. I congratulate our local officials for helping to secure these funds.”

The energy efficiency grants enable communities to implement cost-effective strategies which reduce total energy expenses and save taxpayer money through improved energy efficiency in buildings and transportation systems according to the Department of Economic and Community Development.

The grant was received in a competitive process with applications being scored on the local government’s overall conservation strategy, project feasibility, readiness to proceed, community impact, partnerships and the ability to extend funding impact beyond a one-time use.

ECD announces $1.1 million in energy efficiency and conservation block grants NASHVILLE, Tenn. –The Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development announced today that 12 additional Tennessee cities and counties were awarded approximately $1.1 million in Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grants (EECBG), including the City of Munford which was awarded $100,000 for HVAC units and lighting at two city buildings and LED traffic lights.

Munford joins 134 other Tennessee cities and counties who were awarded $13 million in EECBG grants in 2010. The grants will enable communities to implement cost-effective strategies which reduce total energy expenses and save taxpayer money through improved energy efficiency in buildings and transportation systems, creating an estimated 10 new jobs in the process.

“The benefits of the EECBG grants are important to Tennessee and the communities receiving the grants,” Molly Cripps, director, Energy Division, ECD, said. “It is a boost to our state’s energy efficiency efforts, allows communities to reduce energy consumption and cut costs, and creates jobs for Tennesseans.”

The grants will fund a variety of energy efficiency and conservation programs in local communities across the state, including retrofits of the lighting, HVAC, window and insulation of many existing government

buildings. Other communities will install remote read water meters and renewable energy systems, including a geothermal heating and cooling system.

The third round of the EECBG program is expected to produce nearly 2.5 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy savings annually, resulting in a cost-savings of approximately $225 thousand per year for Tennessee communities. The grants will also allow installers and retrofitters to gain valuable training and experience which will serve private sector companies as they expand their energy efficiency programs.

The 12 recipients were chosen from a pool of 38 applications, representing 12 Tennessee counties. For more information on the EECBG program in Tennessee visit http://tn.gov/ecd/recovery/eecbg.html.

Applications were scored on the local government’s overall conservation strategy, project feasibility, readiness to proceed, community impact, partnerships and the ability to extend funding impact beyond a one-time use.

The EECBG grants were funded out of the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development’s mission is to create higher skilled, better paying jobs for all Tennesseans. The department seeks to attract new corporate investment in Tennessee and works with Tennessee companies to facilitate expansion and economic growth. To find out more, go to www.tn.gov/ecd

Streaking Lady Cougars take out JNS Munford boys defeat Ripley

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com The resolve that the Munford Lady Cougar basketball team has shown of late was on full display over the weekend.

After falling behind by seven at the half Friday night in Jackson, Munford controlled the final two quarters, holding North Side to just six points in the fourth period, en route to a key 49-42 District 13-AAA win.

Munford didn't have any time to rest.

After an hour bus ride home from Jackson, the team had to get up in time to make a 12:30 p.m. game Saturday afternoon in Troy against Dresden.

Munford fell behind again, but rallied for a 44-39 win, the team's fifth straight after starting the season 0-3.

“At the beginning of the year, we didn't handle not shooting well very well,” said Munford coach Steve Poindexter. “We didn't find other ways to

win. Now, when the shots aren't falling, we're finding other ways.”

Munford (5-3 overall, 2-0 district) finished strong Friday night in Jackson to remain undefeated in league play and in a tie for first with Hardin County.

“The second half of defense we played against them was our best defensive half all year,” Poindexter said.

Robneisha Lee provided the offense, scoring eight of her team-high 16 points in the fourth quarter. Kierra Richardson hit a pair of 3-pointers in the first half and finished with 10 points and Kierra Webb added nine.

Munford trailed 25-18 at the half and by one early in the fourth quarter before rallying.

Saturday afternoon in Troy, Dresden led 27-25 early in the fourth quarter before Munford grabbed the lead and never let it go.

Munford converted 10 of 11 free throws down the stretch to secure the win. Shaliyah Wiggins led Munford with 13 points and Lee added 12.

The Lady Cougars will host Brighton on Friday with a chance to move to 3-0 in league play for the first time in a SEE MHS, PAGE B2

Cards roll over ECS with ease

Chargers cruise past GC

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com

By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com

There were a few reasons for the players taking part in the BrightonECS game Thursday night to be distracted.

More than one Division I basketball coach was in the Brighton gym scouting talent, including University of Memphis head man Josh Pastner.

But if the Brighton players were distracted, they didn't show it.

Using a balanced attack and some solid defense, the Cardinals dispatched the Eagles handily, 65-43.

“There were some coaches there,” said Brighton coach Darryle Rogers, acknowledging his players were aware of the college coaches in attendance. “But I thought we were really balanced and we played good defense. I was pleased.”

Ricky Foster hit a couple of 3-pointers early and finished with team-high 13 points. Demetrius Dyson and Demarius Adams each added 10 as seven players had six more more points.

Skal Labissierre, a 6-9 freshman who has already caught the attention of several recruiters, scored more than half of his team's points with 23, but the Cardinals kept the rest of the team in check.

Brighton (7-2) traveled to Bartlett on Friday night and suffered an 8472 loss.

Foster led Brighton with 21 points, Dyson scored 16 and Eddie Middlebrooks chipped in with 15, but Bartlett (6-1) won third quarter 30-14 to take control of the game.

Anthlon Bell led Bartett with 20 points.

Brighton got 3-pointers from Tony Brooks, Ricky Foster and Kamron

After early season losses to two top 3A teams and a couple of squeakers, the Chargers seem to have righted the ship.

CHS evened its season record at 4-4 on the road last Tuesday with a 74-56 win over District 13-AA rival Gibson County.

Covington (5-4 overall, 3-1 District 13-AA) jumped out to a 12-1 first period lead and was never seriously challenged by the Pioneers. Gibson County (4-3, 2-1) cut the margin to six in the second quarter but trailed at the break, 36-24.

The third period was pivotal as the Chargers forced 12 Pioneer turnovers to blow the game open. Covington would lead by as many as 23 in the period.

The Pioneers committed 30 turnovers in all to Covington’s 18. Gibson County was 7 for 17 (41%) at the line while CHS beat its season average by a mile at 69 percent (9 for 13).

Covington’s Jawan Alston led all scorers with 22 points, 15 in the first half. Shelton Lyons chipped in 13 for CHS. The Pioneers were led in scoring by a long-range shooter, Mitchell Simpson, who pitched in 21 in the loss. Ladarius Osler had 15 for Gibson County.

Friday’s game with Dyersburg was expected to be a barnburner.

Instead, CHS just burned the Trojans 49-30 in a game that the Trojans (7-2, 2-2) were never in despite CHS shooting just 3 of 22 from 3- point range.

Covington jumped out to an 11-0 lead in a first period that did not see DHS get on the scoreboard until the 1:07 mark. The die was cast. The

Cardinal wrestlers fare well in Trojan Wars tourney

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com The Brighton High School wrestling team competed in the Trojan Wars wrestling tournament in Millingon last Saturday and several wrestlers.

Senior Timothy Raloff, who was one win away from the state tournament last year, led the way for the Cardinals, finishing the day 5-0 in the 138-pound division.

He earned pins over Raleigh-Egypt's Scotavis

Barnes signs with Bethel University

Meeks (1:35), Bartlett’s Jonathan Gibson (1:11) and Southwind's Alquane Edwards (3:05).

He also won by injury default over St. George's Brandon Horton in a match he was leading 7-0 before Horton's injury.

As a team the Cardinals went 2-3, earning wins over St. George's (39-18) and Southwind (42-18).

Bartlett and Raleigh-Egypt defeated the Cardinals, who finished fourth out of nine teams, in the first two rounds.

“I was very proud of the team today,” BHS coach

Larrick Johnson said. “We don't have a full line, forfeiting at the following weight classes: 106, 145, 170 and 195, wit a freshman filling the 160-pound slot. We start each match 30 points down.”

Other Brighton wrestlers who had a good day were sophomores Essex Ramsey and Travis Malone. Ramsey (182), who nearly qualified for state a year ago, went 4-1 with two pins and two forfeits, while Malone (152) was 3-1 with a pair of pins and a decision.

The Cardinals return to action this weekend in a tournament at Arlington High School.

Monday morning in the Munford High School library it was pretty obvious that Paige Barnes has a lot of well-wishers.

Barnes' parents, teammates, coaches, principals and Munford Police Chief Jim Harger were on hand to watch her sign a softball scholarship with Bethel University.

“I liked it that there were a lot of people here for me,” said Barnes, a standout senior who led the Lady Cougars to their first state tournament appearance last spring. “They just want me to do well.”

Barnes considered Christian Brothers University and UT-Martin before ultimately deciding to attend the liberal arts college in McKenzie, Tenn.

“The school is really nice,” Barnes said. “When I visited the coach really made me feel like a part of the team.”

Barnes was a huge reason why the Lady Cougars went 34-12 last year, won the District 13-AAA title and claimed a Region 7-AAA runner-up trophy before beating Collierville in the sectionals to advance

Lady Chargers remain perfect in district

By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com The Covington Lady Chargers improved to 3-0 in District 13-AA play with a narrow 42-38 win over the Gibson County Lady Pioneers at Dyer last Tuesday.

In a game in which neither team shot well from long range, the issue came down to rebounding and free throw shooting. CHS won the former handily and the latter barely to squeak out the win.

With the Lady Chargers

(5-4) trailing by at three after one period, CHS’ defense held Gibson (5-2, 2-2) to five second period points, allowing Covington to take an 18-16 lead to the break.

The teams were tied at 27 heading to the final period where CHS took a five-point lead and held on for dear life, making 1 of 4 free tosses inside the last minute for the fourpoint win.

Once again, the half and full court press were a problem for Covington’s guards.

CHS’ Precious Harvey

led all scorers with 17 points and Demiah Eaton added 10. Amber Rea paced the Lady Pioneers with 15 points.

Friday’s contest saw CHS fall at home to the pre-season district favorite, the Dyersburg Lady Trojans, in a 43-42 squeaker. Covington had a two-point lead after one period in a game that they led throughout until the last two minutes.

Covington was as cold as Dyersburg (6-1, 3-1) from every spot on the floor, hitting only one shot from beyond the

arc and just 53 percent (8 for 15) at the line. CHS’s defense and rebounding were sound, but 23 turnovers to DHS’ 10 were a major factor in the loss.

Opportunities to tie or take the lead inside the last minute went by the boards as Covington could hit only 1 of 4 free tosses. DHS shot just 38 percent (8 for 21) from the stripe.

Dyersburg’s Jolyta Taylor topped the scoring charts with 17, followed by teammate K. K. Tate, who had 15. Harvey led CHS with 12 points and

Iesha Carruthers added 10.

CHS travels to Ripley on Friday night and will play in the Marshall County Christmas Tournament in Benton, Ky., Dec. 19-21.

BARNES

Continued from B1 to Murfreesboro. She was one of the team’s primary pitchers and was also a productive hitter.

Her versatility was one of the things that caught the attention of Bethel coach Larry Geraldi.

“We’re excited, not just because she’s an excellent person, but because she’s an excellent ball

player,” Geraldi said.

“She’s versatile and she’s a hard worker. She’s not only a good pitcher, but she can produce with the bat. She’s going to play somewhere … We want players from quality programs and Munford is known for that.”

Munford head coach Glenn Goulder is looking

forward to having Barnes back in the spring for reasons that go beyond her playing ability.

“She’s a really good ball player and a really good person,” Goulder said. “She’s a great leader because of the way she treats other people.”

Neither team was effective from the floor as no player reached double figures.

nine points each.

COMMENTARY

How will we respond?

Imagine this for a minute, will you? Imagine for a minute that you receive a visit from an angel who announces to you that YOU are going to be the mother of the Messiah! Who is the Messiah, you ask? Come on, you know the one.

THE ONE who has been promised for generations. THE ONE who will free us from all that ails us. THE ONE that your parents and grandparents talked about and their parents and grandparents before them. They talked about what great and marvellous things were promised in relation to this messiah. It sounded like heaven on earth. You remember those promises, the ones that, in your more cynical moments, you thought were just fantasy, just pipe dreams, mere fables designed to take the edge off of the pain and the anguish of oppression and lost hopes and dreams.

What would you say? What would your gut reaction be? Personally, I think the author of Luke left something out! There must have been more protest, more of ‘not me'. There must have been more than, "this is impossible, for biological reasons. There must have been protests such as "I am not able to be the mother of the messiah. I am not strong enough, not religious enough, not good enough." There must have been an, "I'm just a poor kid from a small village. There must be someone in Jerusalem. There must be someone with closer ties to royalty and power and history. There must be someone else. This must e a mistake. Are you sure you have the right person, God?" We do not know what protests she uttered, what doubts were voiced and un-voiced. All we have are her words as recorded in Luke's gospel: " Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word." Then, of course, we have the magnificent song of faith and hope, the song we commonly call "The Magnificat". It is a song with strong biblical roots, a song that speaks of ancient history of the Hebrew people. It was a history formed and surrounded by God's grace and actions on behalf of the people.

The Exodus.

The first temple.

The return after the Exile.

Even though it was not as grand, the second temple.

Their very existence as a nation.

God had been true to the promise to David: God had built a nation for them.

God WAS always faithful, but sometimes the people forgot and went their own way. Mary's speech of faith and hope on that day proclaims that the birth of Jesus is another in a long series of actions which are intended to bring about

the salvation of God's own people.

But it is not ‘just' another one, it is something new and unique. This one will be the pinnacle of God's great and glorious actions, just you wait and see.

Mary's task was to be the mother of Jesus. Our task as Christians is similar, to bear witness to the good news of Jesus with our words and our lives. We are to be bearers of the Christ, not only the Christchild, but the grown up Christ, wherever we are and to those to whom we are called.

WOW! It is an awesome task.

It is a task that we need to take seriously. It is a task that should also fill us with a certain amount of fear and questioning. But it is a task that we can indeed, all fulfill, by God's grace. It is a task we can fulfil because, ultimately, it is God's work and not ours.

And so we come to December 22. Just hours till Christmas. Just hours away from the frenzy and the feasting. For those who need to, just hours of shopping time left.

The question though, is not, really, how will we celebrate Christmas on December 25, but how we will celebrate it on December 26, and January 6, and June 3 and October 24.

The scripture for today gives us much food for thought in this regard. Now, of course, we might say "that was then and this is now.

Jesus was born long ago, and this is the story of those events from the perspective of faith. But what does it have to do with how I live from day to day, especially as we approach 2003."

It is all well and good to say that ‘nothing is impossible with God', but when we are the recipients of the call or the promise, when we are told that we have a major part to play, we may wonder why God has chosen us. We may not want to get involved. Surely God's plan will fail if it depends on us. Surely God can call someone else more capable, more faithful, someone more suited to this great task.

The short answer is, "NO"! God has not chosen someone else. God has chosen each of us to be the bearers of the good news made real in Jesus onf Nazareth. In Mary's song of praise, in Mary's faithfulness we find a model for our own, we find someone ready to step our in faith desite the obstacles and the difficulties.

We are reminded, as King David had to be reminded, that the primary actor in this whole drama is God. We are not in the business of making a name for ourselves. Our lives are to be lived to the praise of God and for the following of God's will and call to us.

We are not responsible for anything more that our stepping for-

ward in faith and seeking to ‘let it happen according to God's plan'.

Of course we are not just to sit back and let things happen, as if the way of life talked about by Mary was just going to fall out of the sky.

Down through the ages God has always called people to take part in this great plan of salvation, of reversal, of hope and justice.

We must become involved in the work of lifting up the poor and the powerless and removing those from power who abuse it; we are called to be involved with feeding the hungry and making sure that at some point the rich no longer become so at the expense of the poor. We are to do what we can, and believe that with God's help and in God's time this great world of peace and justice will come about. It doesn't exactly ‘let us off the hook' but it does prevent us from becoming bogged sown in despair when our goals do not come to pass and it takes longer than we booked into our schedule.

When I was in theological school we studied the issues surrounding apartheid in South Africa and the great oppression under which the non-whites of that country lived.

The Berlin Wall was still standing and the divide between ‘the West' and the ‘Soviets' seemed destined to last forever. Not too long ago, just about every couple lost one or more children to diseases we consider virtually extinct, at least in the west. Things changed, because of faith, and perseverance and, I believe, because of the actions of people who believed that they were doing the work to which God has called them.

We face new problems though.

We face an AIDS crisis that threatens entire African countries and a food crisis that threatens millions.

We face a crisis in the middle east, on that will take courage and the wisdom of Solomon to solve. This is what Christmas is all about. It is about God being with us, when and where it matters, and in the ways that really matter. Its not just a nice image for greeting cards but a power that can change the world and bring it closer to God's vision for all of creation. We await "Emmanuel'; we await, "God with us".

We truly do. Emmanuel will come.

God will act to save us. God will act to save the world.

So I have great hope. I have great hope because I worship a God of life and hope. I worship a God who has many followers who believe in life rather than death, in hope rather than despair, in freedom rather than bondage, in abundance rather than scarcity.

We are called to bear this good news in word and deed.

How will we respond?

Flu vaccinations are available Flu season is here and the Tipton County Health Department is working to protect the entire community by providing free flu vaccinations to area residents. Appointments must be made to receive flu vaccine and are now being scheduled at the clinic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vaccination is the best protection against the flu and the Centers

for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that everyone six months of age and older get a flu vaccine every year,â&#x20AC;? said Buffie Nelms, RN. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes about two weeks to be protected after you get the flu vaccine, so we want everyone who hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had their flu shots to get them now before flu starts circulating widely in our commu-

nity.â&#x20AC;?

Flu shots will be provided at no charge to adult patients. Please call the health department at (901) 4760235 today to book your appointment. The clinic is located at 4700 Mueller Brass Rd. and opened Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.

Continued from B1 Foster in the fourth quarter, but could not come all the way back.

On Saturday the Cardinals took out Frayser, 83-63, in tournament action at Westwood High School.

Brighton led 28-7 after one quarter.

Dyson led the way with 26 points, Moses Harper had 17 and Adams finished with 11.

Brighton will put its 2-0 District 13-AA record on the line Friday night at Munford.

“I’m looking for a large crowd at that game and a lot of support from the Brighton community,” said Rogers, who in his first year at Brighton.

“They (Munford) are tough and not a team you can overlook. Games are played on the court, not by talking.”

In girls action, Brighton (1-7) fell to Bartlett, 60-23, and ECS, 43-39.

After falling behind 22-14 at the half, Brigh-

B12.indd 1

ton waged an impressive comeback against ECS. Brighton appeared to have tied the score when Raven Campbell drove and scored with two seconds left. But the referee called a charge and ECS made two free throws on the end to seal the game.

Lindy Lane and Alaina Bierdz led Brighton with 12 points each.

The Cardinals have lost four starters since June for various reasons.

Senior Ashli Bolden tore a knee ligament early in the season and junior McCallie Ruffin has been out with a broken nose.

“These girls are playing and practicing has hard as they can,” said Brighton coach Ronnie Lanier. “These last three practices were the hardest I’ve had since I’ve been here. We’re looking to find ways to be competitive in practice and I think we’re going to see a difference in the games.”
