TCSO searching for missing teen By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com
CHARLESTON – Detectives are searching for an 18-year-old missing from Covington, and they say they suspect foul play in his disappearance. James Jones Jr. was last seen at approximately 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 25 at the C-Town Market at the corner of Hwy. 51 and Ripley Ave. His vehicle was found at 6
a.m. at an abandoned storage building in the 6400 block of Hwy. 179. His family members reported him missing and deputies have been searching the area to find any sign of Jones. Detectives suspect foul play in Jones' disappearance after blood was found inside his Nissan Altima. "We have been searching for Mr. Jones since we received the call," said Sheriff Pancho
Chumley. "I will use every resource available to help locate this young man." Family members were on the scene Wednesday, parked and waiting in a grassy lot next to the building where Jones' car was located, but declined commenting on the case. Assisting in the search for Jones are agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, the District Attorney General's Office Investigator Tommy
White, canines from the Shelby County Sheriff's Office and an aerial search unit from the Memphis Police Department. "We are trying to locate anyone who has talked to or see Mr. Jones to help detectives and agents in this case." James E. Jones Jr. is 5'8", 230 pounds, has "chin strap" facial hair and may be wearing glasses. He was last seen wearing black pants, a black t-shirt style

Wounded warrior to be honored Friday By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Christian Brown hasn't been home to Munford since he was severely injured last December while on a Marine mission in Afghanistan. He's coming home tomorrow night, and there will be quite a reception waiting for him. The annual Munford-Brighton football game will be known as the Christian Brown Bowl this year. At 6:30, 30 minutes before game time at Dr. Sid Witherington Stadium in Munford, Brown will be escorted into the stadium by the Munford Police department and a motorcycle group consisting of area veterans. Brown will be presented with money raised through various fundraising efforts and honored with a ceremony. Todd Winfield, the president of the Munford High School booster club and a military veteran, organized the event. “I was thinking about it a while back and nothing brings the community together like football,” Winfield said. “So why not use that avenue to show support for our local wounded warrior.” Brown, who was awarded the Purple Heart, has been with his mother, Lynn Braden-Reed, at Walter Reed Army Medical Hospital in Bethesda, Md., since his injury. Braden-Reed was approached about the idea for the Christian Brown Bowl several weeks ago. “He never played football, but he was always at football games,” Braden-Reed said. “They said they wanted to do a benefit in honor of him, and I'm thankful. I'm just so thankful for the whole community from Covington to Collierville.” After the game there will be a concert at Wyatt Earp's in Munford, which will also benefit Brown and his family. While he was recovering from his injury, Brown got a tattoo that reads “Break my body, not my spirit.” Over the past few weeks, more than 300 white shirts with Brown's motto printed on them have been sold. Winfield said people are being encouraged to wear them to the game.

EVENT
Group organizing 5K for injured Drummonds woman By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com Tony and Lenore Torres' life changed forever last September when an accident left their daughter Jessica with a traumatic brain injury and in a minimally conscious state. "This could happen to me or you," Lenore said. "Even though there wasn't anything negative - drinking or texting - it could still happen at any time. People need to be aware that it can." Jessie was on a first date when the tire in her date's ve-
hicle blew, throwing Jessie from truck. She was airlifted to The MED and her parents didn't learn of the accident until seven hours later because she didn't have any emergency contact information with her. "That's the biggest thing I've learned from the accident," Tony said. "Paramedics want you to carry a card with your emergency contact information on it behind your driver's license." In the year since, Jessie, the vibrant young surgical tech who'd been in her best friend's wedding just days before the
accident, has undergone numerous surgeries, spent nearly two months in the trauma unit at The MED and 48 days at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta. Being in a minimally conscious state, Jessie shows little repeated reaction to stimuli. MCS is similar to a persistent vegetative state, however MCS patients have partial preservation of awareness. It is unknown whether Tony and Lenore – and their son Derrick – will ever have the old Jessie back, but they're hopeful one day the daughter they once knew will return.
"I see Tony and Derrick sitting outside, just talking," Lenore said with tears in her eyes. "And I can't have that with my daughter." In the meantime, Jessie's medical bills are mounting and her social security only covers half of the cost of the care she needs. To help offset the cost of her medical bills, a group of friends has organized the first 5K 4 Jessie. "Originally we wanted to get them a (wheelchair-accessible) van, but now we're raising money to help with expenses,"

said Mickey Cochran, Lenore's business associate who, along with Michele Stanford, Wendy Sims, Floyd Garrett and Darin Day, helped plan the event. The group hopes the event's contributions will help heal Jessie. "Their lives have really altered so drastically," Cochran said. The 5K 4 Jessie will take place at 1000 Ridgeway Loop in Germantown at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 6. For more information and to sign up or donate, see www.5k4jessie.com.

Crews began dirt work on the Applebee's site last week. Developers say the restaurant, which is Tipton County's first chain restaurant, will be opened in mid-December. Photo by Jeff Ireland
Construction begins on Applebee's By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Officials have been trying to lure a nonfastfood national chain restaurant to Tipton County for years. By Christmas, locals could be having lunch and dinner in one. Two months ago, site plans for an Applebee's at Lanny Bridges Avenue and Highway 51, on the northeast corner of the Wal-Mart Supercenter lot, were approved. Last week, construction crews hit the site and began putting stakes in the ground. According to Mike Magoo, an Applebee's official who is overseeing the construction, the goal is to have the
restaurant open by Dec. 15. The restaurant will be the first constructed using a new model. “It's like one that's never been seen before,” Magoo said. “It's the first in the world.” The 4,900-square-foot eatery will use different colors, furniture and signage from other restaurants in the chain and will be able to seat up to 200 people. “It's a completely different look,” Magoo said. “A new bar type, a whole new furniture package … there will be four different communities for seating.” Covington Mayor David Gordon has been working to bring Applebee's to Covington
since Wal-Mart opened in 2006. A retail recruitment study was commissioned at the time. Gordon said there were several reasons why Applebee's ultimately decided to locate in Covington. “They study rooftops, family income and know what areas are doing well as far as sales and sales tax,” Gordon said. “We've been doing well as far as that goes. People are shopping in Covington and I think businesses see that and see the opportunity.” Magoo said the total project cost is approximately $1.5 million. “Its' gonna be the brightest star in the Applebee's family for a

TIPTON COUNTY RESIDENT RECEIVES LUNG TRANSPLANT June Glass Lantrip had been on a lung transplant list for two years. On July 13, 2012, she received a call from Vanderbilt University Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee informing her that the right lung donor had been found. She and her husband Mike immediately left that night for Nashville. Surgery began at 3:20 a.m. on July 14 and approximately six hours later, the transplant was completed. Doctors are totally amazed at her recovery time. She is presently in Nashville where she is undergoing therapy sessions and is expected to be released around the second week of October. The Glass and Lantrip families would like to thank everyone for their prayers, cards and support during this special time in our lives. Great thanks go to the doctors and staff of Vanderbilt that helped make this miracle come to pass. Most specially, we give praise to God our Heavenly Father, and for the family of the donor, for without any of these, this could not have been successful.

Atoka introduces anti-nepotism ordinance By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com After Tuesday, the Town of Atoka may have a policy against employing the relatives of its elected officials. The purpose of the ordinance, proposed during the September meeting of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen, is to ensure the orderly disposition of town business, city leaders said. “This is something that was just proposed, so it’s still being reviewed,” said Town Administrator Brian Koral. The measure passed on its first reading earlier this month and will go before the board for
its second, and final, reading on Tuesday. If passed, the ordinance will prohibit the hiring of the immediate family members of elected officials and current municipal employees. City leaders have defined immediate family members as spouses, children, siblings, stepsiblings, parents, step-parents, in-laws, grandparents, grandchildren, first cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. Koral said it is a good time to introduce the ordinance as the town currently has no employees who are relatives of one another. “Right now it’s a non-issue, so we want to take care of it before it becomes one.”
Some residents have asked Koral whether the ordinance was proposed to take a jab at the previous administration, as former alderman Earl Billings was related to several municipal employees. “This is not a new concept we came up with,” said Koral. “It’s just a personnel regulation update, one of the many policy clean-ups we’ve been doing over the past year.” Tuesday’s meeting will take place at 7 p.m. at City Hall, located at 334 Atoka-Munford Avenue. For more information, download the proposed ordinance from the Agendas and Minutes section of the town’s website, www.townofatoka.com.
public safety
APD, TCSO participate in drug take-back
On Saturday, Sept. 29, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the 25th Judicial District Drug Task Force, Atoka Police Department, Tipton County Sheriff's Office and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public another opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. Bring your medications for disposal to Atoka City Hall at 334 Atoka-Munford Road, or to 1801 S. College Street, Covington. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked. Last April, Americans turned in 552,161 pounds—276 tons—of
prescription drugs at over 5,600 sites operated by the DEA and nearly 4,300 state and local law enforcement partners. In its four previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners took in over 1.5 million pounds—nearly 775 tons—of pills. This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that
a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—both pose potential safety and health hazards. Four days after the first event, Congress passed the Secure and Responsible Drug Disposal Act of 2010, which amends the Controlled Substances Act to allow an “ultimate user” of controlled substance medications to dispose of them by delivering
them to entities authorized by the Attorney General to accept them. The act also allows the Attorney General to authorize long term care facilities to dispose of their residents’ controlled substances in certain instances. DEA is drafting regulations to implement the Act. Until new regulations are in place, local law enforcement agencies like the 25th Judicial District Drug Task Force, the Atoka Police Department, Tipton County Sheriff's Office and the DEA will continue to hold prescription drug take-back events every few months.

GUEST OPINION
Islam a religion of peace? When in graduate school at the University of Memphis I took a couple of courses on North Africa with the emphasis on the Islamic countries. Required readings included the Quran and a history on the prophet Muhammad, who lived between A.D. 570 – 632. Although much of the Western World considers Muhammad the founder of Islam, Muslim’s simply consider him the restorer of the original faith of the early prophets from Adam, Abraham, Moses and Jesus. Around 610, Muhammad had a revelation and began preaching as a prophet. Initially, he found few followers and they soon had to flee Mecca, eventually settling in Medina around 622. He united the tribes of Medina and spent the next eight years fighting the Meccan tribes, eventually gaining control of the holy city and destroying all pagan J IM HARDIN idols. Soon after conquering Mecca, which included the ordered assassination of a prominent Jewish leader, Muhammad sent forces to conquer much of the remaining Arabian Peninsula. Muhammad refused the surrender of cities unless they agreed to convert to Islam. Failure to convert could mean death or slavery. Late in his life, most of the remaining Bedouin tribes either converted or submitted to pay the Zakat, a religious levy that would prevent attack. In 632, Muhammad died of an illness, but he had united most of Arabia into a political entity driven by the Islamic faith. The Quran is the holy book of the Muslims, and the biographies of the life (sira) and traditions (sunnah) of Muhammad make up what is much of the source of sharia law. After Muhammad’s death, disagreements over who would succeed the Prophet as leader eventually led to a schism that separated the Sunni and Sh’ia Muslims to this day. Abu Bakr would become the early successor and within ten years he led the military conquests of the Middle East, Persia, Syria, Egypt and the Southeastern tip of Europe. Within 100 years of Muhammad’s death, Islam had spread by the sword further east, across North Africa and into the Spanish peninsula. I am not saying that those who call themselves Christians have not used force or the sword to spread their faith, but that was much later after the Roman Empire had adopted the faith around 330. When you compare how Christ and his direct followers spread the faith to how Muhammad and his direct followers spread their faith, it is clear that one was to establish peace-making in the process; the other used force to make converts. The Christian faith called for conversion of individuals through their free-will. The Islamic faith SEE HARDIN, PAGE A5
OUR VIEW
Atoka works to restore confidence The Town of Atoka’s proposal of a new policy that would make it out of bounds to hire relatives of its elected officials is all about appearances. But new Town Administrator Brian Koral and Mayor Daryl Walker know how quickly appearance can become reality, especially when it comes to government. Whether the potential policy is in reaction to past issues or not is irrelevant to us and it should be irrelevant to most everyone. No city can protect itself against past issues, but it can take safeguards against future ones; by proposing the change, the Town of Atoka’s top leaders deserve to be commended. By working hard and thoughtfully to enact policies that restore people’s faith in the town’s leaders, and in the town’s governance, elected officials are eyeing taking a bold step forward. We understand not every public body can and will enact policies like this, but it shows guts on the part of Atoka’s leadership and, more importantly, it shows the residents that their town’s leadership is willing to work to earn their trust. We hope the leaders pass this policy when it goes to a vote of the council next Tuesday. While it may be only about appearances, appearances matter. Trust is important. And having the guts to put it in writing still means something in this world that remains highly skeptical of its politicians. We’re left with a tremendous sense of optimism about what the Town of Atoka and other public bodies in Tipton County can accomplish when we see politicians put citizens first. THE LEADER

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Problem with Hardin article Mr. Jim Hardin states in his article “Come home to the Republican Party” that he believes that black people should come back to the Republican party since we were Republicans in the 1800’s and since it was Republican presidents who desegregated facilities in Washington D.C. and who ordered federal troops to protect black students who attended an all white high school in Arkansas. Mr. Hardin even goes so far as to say that a Republican never lynched a man… at least he doesn’t think so. While I am no historian or even a semi historian as you claim to be Mr. Hardin, common sense tells me that blacks initially voted for Republicans because at that point in history this was the political party that at least attempted to give them their basic rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It does not take the proverbial rocket scientist to figure this out. Not only does common sense make this clear, but a quick history lesson on race relations in this country would also enlighten your readers on this topic. According to your knowledge of history the tides began to change when Roosevelt, a Democrat, began to pay more attention to the social issues that were important to blacks in order to gain their vote. To further make your point, you even inform your read-

history of African Americans in this country in order to make your point. I guess you assume the blacks to whom you are appealing to “come home to the Republic party” are also ignorant of their own history. I can only speak for myself when I say I am well aware of why most blacks do not vote Republican. You say that your friends told you the community would not listen to you on this subject because you are white. Well, they couldn’t have been more wrong because the color of your skin has nothing to do with how your article was received. The truth is the black community will not listen to you because you managed to minimize our history down to something as trivial as politics. Tanya Jones Atoka United we stand or ...

ers of Roosevelt’s use of the N word as he hatched his evil plot to grant the requests of the black community in exchange for their vote. Considering what was at stake, even if President Roosevelt did used the N word, I don’t think blacks were as concerned about his offensive language as they were about making progress towards achieving equal rights. Lastly Mr. Hardin, what I found most amazing in your article is where you state that you “don’t think a Republican ever lynched a black man.” To reduce such an evil as lynching another human being down to something as insignificant as political affiliation is absolutely phenomenal. Furthermore, I am curious as to how exactly do you know the political affiliation of the people who lynched blacks? Did you survey those in attendance? Perhaps you knew them or their relatives and were able to ask them which political party they preferred? Frankly, whenever I see a picture of a black man hanging from a tree surrounded by throngs of white people, some of whom are smiling, the last thing that crosses my mind is if they vote Democrat or Republican. But I suppose those pictures have a different meaning for me because I’m black. You see politics while I see a person who could have been my father, brother, or son hanging from a tree. Mr. Hardin, you leave out very pertinent information about the

Continued from A4 patriotism displayed by all Americans - Republicans, Democrats, Independents, rich, poor, and everyone in between proclaimed that We, the People had been awakened and were after all very much united. Since that time unfortunately we have slipped back to our petty divisiveness. We’ve allowed politics to divide and subdivide us. President Obama is calculating his successful re-election attempt on this division and class-
warfare. In his quest for a 2nd term he has pitted the unions against management, the poor against the wealthy, welfare recipients against providers, and even women against men. The sadness of this class warfare rhetoric comes with the knowledge of its effectiveness. It is working for him. With no positive record of accomplishments to speak about he still leads in most polls above a challenger who is obviously better qualified to be president. With so many people with their “heads in the sand”, his message of “fundamen-
quickly. As long as you continue working for the same employer, your repayment terms likely will not change. But if you leave your employment, either voluntarily or not, you’ll probably have to repay the loan in full within 60 days — and if you don’t, the remaining balance will be taxable. Plus, if you’re under age 59½, you’ll also have to pay a 10% penalty tax. Considering these drawbacks to taking out a 401(k) loan, you may want to look elsewhere for money when you need it. But the best time to put away this money is well before you need it. Try to build an emergency fund containing at least six to 12 months’ worth of living expenses, and keep the money in a liquid vehicle. With this money, you’re primarily interested in protecting your principal, not in earning a high return. A 401(k) is a great retirement savings vehicle. But a 401(k) loan? Not always a good idea. Do what you can to avoid it. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor. Steven Jones is an Edward Jones Financial Advisor in Atoka.

tally changing America” to a socialist society goes unnoticed. A few months ago President Obama and a Russian diplomat were sharing a podium. Unaware the microphone was live Mr. Obama asked the Russian to deliver a message. “Tell Mr. Putin” he said, “to wait till after the election. I will have more flexibility then.” If you are undecided about your vote, or if you are a supporter of President Obama, ask yourself a few questions. What did he mean about having more flexibility? Ask, do I want to trade my
liberty for comfort and security? In other words, do I want free stuff or freedom? You cannot have both. And ask why is our president trying to divide us into classes? As a side note and a point of interest – if you, like an ostrich, have your “head in the sand”, remember this: notice the position of the ostrich’s rear end while his head is in the sand. Might I suggest you are putting yourself in the same position. Bill Wallace Covington

Continued from A4 demanded conversion in order to avoid death or slavery. Christ sought to covert through love. Muhammad would use the sword, if necessary, to gain conversions. Yes, people in history have done bad things in the name of the Christian God, but that was in
defiance of the teachings and example of Jesus. Compare the first 300 years of the spread of Christianity to the first 300 years of the spread of Islam, and it is clear which is truly a religion of peace. So as we once again see killings, burnings
and riots in the name of Allah today, and review the history of Islam’s spread, don’t tell me that Islam is a religion of peace. Jim Hardin is a sixthgeneration Tennessean and former Republican candidate for the District 81 Tennessee State House of

We have the honor of saying we played a small part of their success,” said Theresa Balentine, human resources lead for Delfield-

The Civil War in Tipton County: July 1862 “In a historic encounter near Vicksburg on July 15, 1862, the gunboat Arkansas pitted her 10 guns and 200 men against the combined fleets of Farragut, Davis and Ellet—3,000 men and 300 heavy guns. She survived her ordeal and won for her crew the thanks of the Confederate Congress.” - Bell I. Wiley, Halls, Tennessee Native and Distinguished Civil War author. The Arkansas was engaged in three battles on July 15. The first was an hourlong running fight from the Yazoo to the Mississippi where she attacked three Union ships, including the ironclad Carondelet. These vessels mounted 21 heavy cannon, twice as many as the Arkansas. Brown headed his warship toward the Carondelet as the other boats reversed engines. The Carondelet fired 90 shots at the Arkansas. Thirteen of the Arkansas’s shots disabled the Carondelet, caus-
ing it to drift into the willows along the Yazoo. This was history’s second battle between ironclad warships and Brown’s Arkansas decisively defeated the Federals. Coming into the Mississippi, Brown steamed his gunboat toward the 50 Union warships and mortar boats at Vicksburg. “As the Arkansas continued down the line, the Union warships in turn sent broadsides crashing at her armored side. Most of the shots glanced off, but not all. One from the U. S. Hartford penetrated the railroad iron, a bale of cotton, and 20 inches of wood backing before exploding. Fragments from this shell killed 4 men of the 32-pounder broadside. The gunnery officer wrote: ‘The Captain of the gun standing at my right was knocked down by the concussion and so great was the
shock that he lost his mind and never recovered. A second shot exploded near a gun port killing a sponger; a third smashed through the starboard side killing 2 men and a powder boy and wounding 3 others." It took the Arkansas 30 minutes to reach the end of the Union line. When the firing was heard coming from up the river, soldiers and civilians at Vicksburg, began lining the banks. Looking from the dome of the Courthouse were Generals’ Earl Van Dorn, former Vice-President John C. Breckenridge and Stephen D. Lee. At 8:50 a.m., the Arkansas secured her lines to the Vicksburg wharf “her flag fluttering from a boat hook… thrust up through the roof.” The Arkansas was greeted amid the cheers of several thousand as bands played “Dixie” and the “Bonnie Blue Flag”. That night, one by one,
Union ships steamed past the Arkansas as the combatants exchanged salvos of broadside volleys at each other. For the third time that day, Northern warships had failed to destroy the Arkansas. The crew of the Arkansas suffered 18 killed and 24 seriously wounded. Union casualties were 42 killed and 69 wounded. The Arkansas scored 73 hits on 21 enemy warships. For the next seven days and nights, Union mortars bombarded the Arkansas hurling 200 pound shells at her. On July 22, the ironclad Essex, and Queen of the West attacked the Arkansas, but failed to sink her. Brown could muster but 20 men to serve his cannon; one of his wounded was Arnold Becker who would later serve on the submarine Hunley. The courageous run of the Arkansas led by Lieut. Isaac Brown formerly of

Thanks for the calls and concerns and prayers. Addie had her first fall softball game last week and of course they won by a healthy margin . However, the little orange team had some very good little players. They don`t have any names yet. We hollered for numbers. Only a few are left from last year. A lot of new girls. It won't be long now. With the cooler temperatures the grass cutting will soon be over. “We the People” met last week at the Chamber of Commerce on the square in Covington. It was a very diplomatic and impressive meeting. The guest speaker was Gary Smith, a trial lawyer with the Crump lawfirm in Memphis. His primary source of speech was to stop tyranny and to remind us that the Constitution of the United States is our primary source of man's law and that the judiciary law established in 1790 always has the last say. It is the anchor in the law of democracy. A very interesting meeting. “We The People” always meets on the third Tuesday night of each month at 7 at the Chamber of Commerce
on the square in Covington. Everyone is always welcome. Neighborhood Watch will meet at the Three Star Fire Dept Oct. 4 on Saddler School Road at 6:30 p.m. We encourage all residents of Almyra to attend. David Hessling will be the guest speaker at the meeting and will speak about the auxiliary and possible CPR classes.

Hi everyone. We can't complain about the weather this past week. It has been absolutely beautiful. The sunsets and the moon have not been hidden by the clouds. Hope it will last a while. I love to paint and my next picture is going to be a beautiful sunset. I oil paint, and each of my children will soon obtain a piece of my work. It was a fun weekend. My daughter Sherri Ann and granddaughter Addie Kidd and her best friend Arlee McIntyre and I all went to see "Disney On Ice". It was a precious show, however, thank God our seats were up high, because it was freezing. Some people on the floor level were getting up and coming upstairs. We were directly in front of the stage which was so nice. I`m getting so old , I could only call the names of Mickey and Minnie and Cinderella,but the girls told me all the rest. By the time the paper comes out, Charlie will have his date of surgery. I will let you know next week.

My birthday is Friday and it's always hot on my birthday! Always! This week's Farm Report: Soybeans are turning yellow and dropping their leaves.

take out to them. Then they come back about 4 in the afternoon for mroe apples. Monday, we cleaned up our orchard. The grass has grown up knee deep. So we had to clean up the apples that had fallen on the groound......then Marshall weed eated under the trees. It was a pretty good job. The cows came to the fence and watched us do the clean up.....knowing that they would be getting some good apples to eat. We fed them lots of apples. A few of them stayed until we put the last tools in the storage building. We had put the pretty good apples in the wheelborrow for the cows. Well, I took the apples over to the fence and was going to dump them, and before I got to the fence, I hit a big ditch and all the aples fell off the wheelborrow. So I had to handle the old apples again.....at least I had on my work gloves. This past Friday, our granddaughter finished up the last of her Nursing School. She had to serve 80 hours (for free). She is so lucky, come October 1, she will be working as an RN at the Babptist Hospital. She has two children, A. J. 6 years old and Aiden is three months old. Our daughter has been able to keep the children so far. She is working on her Doctorate Degree by the way of the internet.

Greetings. It's finally fall once again. Now fall is alright, but I will always be a spring person. Maybe it's because I was born in the spring in April? Its' really that I think of springtime as being “reborn time.” It's the time of year when everything comes back to life. Most times it tends to return even better than before, which makes it alright with me. Now for your news.

FRIDAY FOOTBALL: BRIGHTON @ MUNFORD • COVINGTON @ GIBSON CO. • TIPTON-ROSEMARK @ ST. GEORGE'S
A lot on the line
How Munford tailback D'Marious Exum and Brighton quarterback Brady Stewart perform will figure heavily into who wins tomorrow night's showdown between the Cardinals and Cougars. Photos by Jeff Ireland
Cardinals, Cougars both looking to make push toward playoffs What: Brighton vs. Munford When: Friday at 7 p.m. Where: Munford Key players: Munford – RB D'Marious Exum, QB Hunter Harden, WR Antonio Moore; Brighton – QB Brady Stewart, WR Artez Harris, RB Antonio Dickerson
By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com When comparing this year's BrightonMunford football game, which will be played Friday in Munford at 7 p.m., to last year's game, there are some stark differences. Brighton was in first place District 13AAA, riding a four-game winning streak and headed for a 10-win season. Munford was 2-4, near the bottom of the district standings and looking for the program's first playoff berth since 2007. Things are quite different this year. Brighton (2-3) picked up a huge win last week over Millington, but is looking for its first league win of the season. “It's been one of those years,” Brighton head coach Will Wolfe said, “but the kids
are going to keep on grinding. We're going to work through it.” Munford (4-2) is the hot team this year, riding a three-game winning streak into the affair and, at 1-1, is one game out of first in District 13-AAA. “It's a huge district game for us,” said Will Wolfe, whose team would fall to 0-2 in league play with a loss Friday. Just two more district games are left on the schedule. “With it being against a county rival,” Wolfe said, “it's even bigger.” The game will feature teams with contrasting styles. Brighton runs a pass-heavy offense that leans on quarterback Brady Stewart and wideout Artez Harris, although running back Antonio Dickerson has also had a very productive season.
Munford likes to give the ball to workhorse tailback D'Marious Exum as much as possible. Quarterback Hunter Harden lost one of his go-to receivers to injury two weeks ago when Derek Pierce went down, but he's very capable of making plays as well. Brighton's three losses have come against Murfreesboro Riverdale, Covington and Jackson North Side. Covington and Riverdale are both ranked in the top five in the state and North Side is undefeated. “Brighton has played a tough schedule and we feel like we have played a tough schedule as well,” said Munford coach Matt Saunders. “It should be a good matchup … This is huge for the playoffs. District wins are a must. We need to learn

FOOTBALL ROUNDUP
Brighton edges Trojans By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com The way games against Tipton County teams have gone for Millington this year, school officials may have to think about scheduling other teams. Two weeks after dropping a heartbreaker in the final seconds to Munford, Millington got edged in the final seconds again Friday night, this time by Brighton, 28-27. Here's how the final minute-plus unfolded Friday night in Millington: With Brighton clinging to a 28-27 lead and Millington driving, Cardinal senior Antonio Dickerson intercepted a fourth-down pass. But he fumbled the return, and Millington had new life at the Brighton 35. Moments later, Millington's Myron Threlkeld scooped up an apparent fumble by teammate Lakeron Garcia and took it 33 yards to the end zone. But officials ruled Garcia was down before fumbling. With 3.3 seconds left, Antonio Webber ran 15 yards to the Brighton eight, setting up a 35-yard field goal at-
CHS falls to Milan By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com The Covington volleyball team has fallen on hard times lately. The Lady Chargers fell in straight sets to Crockett County on Sept. 4 and to Milan on Sept. 17. Covington's Treasury Poindexter had six kills and Neely Glenn recorded eight aces against Milan. The JV also fell to Milan. Auburn Davidson had 14 aces, Glenn slammed nine kills and CeCe Bland had four kills. South Gibson took the measure of the Lady Chargers on Sept. 18 in four sets. Ryleigh Deverell had 13 kills and Lyndsey Ashburn added 10. Alli McDivitt had 10 aces. SEE CHS, PAGE A21
tempt. Brendan VanEmelen's kick was wide right, and Brighton left town with a much-needed win, moving to 2-3 on the season. “The kids played hard and hung in there until the end,” said Brighton coach Will Wolfe. “It was a big win for us.” Millington (3-2) appeared to be in control of the game when Garcia hauled in a 25-yard touchdown pass from Allen Moore early in the fourth quarter to give the Trojans a 27-14 lead. But the Brighton duo of Brady Stewart and Artez Harris had other ideas. Stewart hit Harris on a 23-yard touchdown pass to trim the lead to six before the pair hooked up again, this time for 46 yards, to tie the score. Austin Chapman made his fourth extra point of the game to put Brighton ahead by one. Harris caught a game-high 11 passes for 133 yards and Stewart was 21 for 32 passing for 231 yards. George Odom gave Millington a SEE BRIGHTON, PAGE A21
Munford cruises to win
By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com The players and coaches from Memphis Northside didn't arrive to Dr. Sid Witherington Stadium in Munford until 6:55, just five minutes before game time, Friday night. Northside's players donned pads on the sidelines, warmed up for 10 minutes and hit the field. The way the game went, the 13 Northside players in attendance probably wished they would have just stayed home. Munford scored 35 points in the first quarter and 18 more in the second to rout a grossly overmatched Northside team, 60-0, on homecoming night. It took Munford nearly six minutes to get its for score. D'Marious Exum scored on a five-yard pass from Hunter Harden with 6:32 left in the first quarter. That TD seemed to open the floodgates with Nick Harper, Turner Weston, Harden and Exum each scoring on short runs later in the quarter. Harper, Hunter Malone and Brent
Rhea each scored on touchdown runs in the second quarter for Munford, which moved to 4-2 on the season. A one-yard run by Jaylen Bradley in the third quarter wrapped up the scoring. Rhea, a sophomore backup, led Munford with 81 yards on four carries. In other area action: Austin Chambers threw for 132 yards and a touchdown Friday night for Tipton-Rosemark Academy, but it wasn't enough as visiting First Assembly Christian School (3-3) came away with a 34-10 win in DII-A-West action. Ethan Carpenter kicked a 22-yard field goal for TRA (1-4) in the second quarter to trim the Crusaders' lead to 20-10, but an 85-yard TD run by Kortney Morris just before halftime and another score in the third quarter proved to be too much for TRA to overcome. Early in the second quarter, Chambers hit Bo Jones for a six-yard TD pass and TRA trailed just 13-7. A 76-yard pass from Cody Stark to Bobby Downing put FACS ahead 20-7 midway through the second period. SEE MUNFORD, PAGE A21

COMMENTARY
Esther: The humble heroine By BILLY D. STRAYHORN MinistryMatters.com THE HUMBLE HEROINE ESTHER 7:1-6, 9-10; 9:20-22 This text is surrounded by a truly captivating story: God’s people are living in exile, yet God is present with them, directing the affairs that affect them and protecting them. As believers, we may not find ourselves in the greatest circumstances; we may even be threatened by our adversary. However, we can trust in our God of deliverance to be faithful and make a way out for us. Haman had created a scheme to destroy the Jews. Our text demonstrates his humiliation and ultimately his fate for transgressing against God’s people. I. God’s Placement (7:1-6) The rise of Queen Esther to the throne is a drama of its own. Here, however, we consider that God placed her in a position to work for the good of those he loves. Haman’s plot to annihilate the Jews could have been successful, but God had placed Esther (the heroine of the story) in a place to frustrate Haman’s plan. Esther wisely and humbly requests of her king her life and the lives of her people. Our society seems to think that shouting will gain the hearing needed to bring justice. This story indicates that prayer and fasting (4:1-3) working through God’s placement of the circumstances accomplished more than any sort of demonstration. Faith and prayer to a sovereign God moved through the circumstances to avert an evil plan. II. God’s Judgment (7:9-10) Haman’s evil plan becomes his own undoing. He was blinded by his own agenda and arrogance (cf. 6:6), and the consequences were as severe as his intentions toward the Jews. Haman is hanged on the gallows he prepared for Mordecai. His brand of evil is not ancient history. The evil of a self-absorbed spirit is present in today’s world. In chapter 6 Haman is humbled, but in chapter 7 he is accountable for his decisions. Today’s world does not want to hear of a God of justice. Yet without a sense of conviction there can be no relief of condemnation through redemption. This text demonstrates there are consequences for taking a stand against God’s people. III. Sorrow Turned to Joy (9:20-22) These verses comprise one of the primary purposes of the book of Esther: to explain the institution of the annual festival of Purim. The Jews were on the verge of being annihilated, but God rescued his people and relieved them from their enemies. This was cause for generous celebration with feasting and gift-giving. Christians greatest enemy has truly been defeated, and we should pause to consider that the appropriate response to God is one of worshipful celebration and generous living. God is faithful to deliver his children! (Joseph Byrd) PRAYER: OUR LIFELINE TO GOD JAMES 5:13-20 Prayer is a mystery. To the Christian, prayer is a truth revealed but not fully apprehended. Like the words trinity and sacrament, prayer helps us talk about how we experience God. John Wesley boldly proclaimed, “God does nothing but in answer to prayer.” But
what is prayer? Prayer is our talking to God and God talking to us. Prayer is communication and communion with God. Prayer assumes there is a God. The Christian knows that God not only is there, but he is good and his will is ever directed toward his children’s good. When we pray, we recognize the sovereignty of God. Prayer, like life itself, is a gift from God. It is only possible because he reveals himself to us that we may converse with him. I. Prayer Is Our Response to Life Prayer comes in as many forms as there are circumstances. It ranges from the “Oh, my God” type of prayer when believers are in crisis situations, to the lovely “Now I lay me down to sleep” prayer of a child preparing for bed. James urges us to bathe all of life in prayer. He focuses on four general areas common to us all: trouble, happiness, illness, and sin. II. Prayer Is Our Response to God When James says to pray “in the name of the Lord,” he is pressing us to remember that we are not living in a powerless, lonely state. We are living in Christ’s ruling presence. We pray in response to our Savior’s presence and involvement in life with us, praying not from a position of “rights” but from a position of reception of his grace. We know a God of superlatives; omniscient, omnipotent, and also omnipresent. III. In Prayer We Hear God’s Response James declares: “The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective” (NIV). God responds to those who know him, who humble themselves to be his servants. Such a servant was Elijah. James summarizes the Old Testament story about Elijah and the rain. But just in case we misunderstand, James assures us that Elijah was a human being, just as we are. It was Elijah’s righteousness that made him able to communicate with God. The fifth century Talmud records a story about righteous Elijah and the power of prayer. The story says that Elijah would frequently visit a certain rabbi. One day the rabbi waited but Elijah did not come. The next day, when Elijah did arrive, the rabbi asked him, “Why didn’t you come?” Elijah replied, “I had to wake up Abraham, wash his hands, wait while he prayed, then make him lie down again. Likewise I had to wake up Isaac and Jacob, wash their hands, wait until they prayed, and make them lie down again, each in his turn.” “But why didn’t you awaken them all at the same time?” “Oh, no,” Elijah replied. “I know that if they prayed together, their prayers would be so powerful that they would bring the Messiah before his time.” The Talmud’s story and our text in James both press us to know that the prayers of a righteous man are powerful and effective. James then projects: if all of life is to be held before God in prayer, is it not logical that if someone does wander from the truth, he can be brought back? Even a multitude of sins will be covered. The sinner will escape eternal death, thus receiving the greatest benefit of healing from the prayer of faith. (Carolyn Volentine) WHO IS ON OUR SIDE?

of your bills in half.” The system cost only $29.95. Upon investigation, authorities discovered that for the $29.95 plus postage and handling, the man would send people a three-dollar pair of scissors. He was subsequently arrested for mail fraud. All around we see a world out of control. It’s a world where no one says no; where success, money, and selfgratification mean everything; where betrayal is easy and family and commitment finish last; where integrity is just a word. When will it end? We want to shout, “That’s enough. Everybody back to square one. Let’s start all over again.” I. Christ Set the Example We Need The Son of God came as one of us, tempted in every way like us, but he did not give in. He gives us the chance to start over, to be transformed through forgiveness. He gives us the chance for reconciliation through grace. He also came to show us what faith, discipleship, love, and obedience are all about. He showed us what courage and integrity are by taking up his cross and bearing our sins. He calls us to follow him and to live by kingdom standards. II. Christ Gave the Direction We Need Who is on our side? That’s the question the disciples bring to Jesus. During the history of the church there have been times when that has been a very important question. Are they for us or against us? Today there are so many groups who claim to be followers, how do you tell them apart? How do you tell who are the real players and who are only playing at this thing called faith? Is it the creed they espouse? Is it the amount of Scripture they can quote? Jesus says the secret is to have salt in ourselves. We’re called to live our faith in such a way that there is no doubt who we follow. Jesus speaks of not putting stumbling blocks in the way of others. He speaks of living a life that is not offensive to others or to the values of God’s kingdom—a life that doesn’t lead another astray. III. Christ Provided the Vision We Need Turning the other cheek; loving our enemy; forgiving those who sin against us; showing no partiality; being honest; living with integrity and faithfulness; bearing our cross—these are not options for the followers of Christ. Nor are they unattainable ideals. They are the order of the day—the minimum daily requirement, the standard by which we live and breathe and relate to people both inside and outside the faith. The story is told that one day General Robert E. Lee was speaking in the highest terms of another officer, when one of the men interrupted him: “General, do you know that man is one of your biggest enemies, and misses no opportunity to ridicule you?” “Yes,” Lee replied. “But I was asked to give my opinion of him, not his opinion of me.” The Son of God calls us to act with the same integrity, no matter what is going on in the world. How we act reflects upon Christ. Christ is on our side helping us to live our faith. Bishop Woodie White said, “No matter how bad the bad news gets—the final word is always the good news of Jesus Christ.” We are called to remember that and seek to glorify God with our lives.
