County gets update on library project

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Tipton County commissioners received an update Monday night concerning expansion at the Dyersburg State Community College Jimmy Naifeh Center site.

Dr. Karen Boywer, DSCC president, said construction is expected to get underway in the spring on the learning resource center and library, a $13.8 million project.

Boywer said sealed bids on the project will be opened next month. The bid target is $12.055 million.

The 54,000-square-foot project will include a county library open to all residents, plus a student center that will include recreational and learning facilities for students.

Tipton County Executive Jeff Huffman pointed out that more accessibility for computers will be very important.

“More and more companies require that you apply on line,” Huffman said. “I think there are only about 15 or 20 computers in the library we have.”

Bowyer said the new library will have approximately 250 computers.

Veterans honored Tipton County kicked off its week honoring the brave men and women who've sacrificed their lives for our freedoms.

The annual Veteran's Day parade took place on the square and several local schools hosted programs in honor of Tipton County veterans.

TAPs at Crestview Middle The military bugle call "TAPs" is known to evoke strong emotion, and the student body at Crestview learned the origins of the piece during their Veteran's Day event.

Used to signify "lights out," "TAPs" is also used at military funerals and was first played in this context in July 1862.

In addition to this lesson, the Covington band played and the school choir sang several patriotic songs.

Board discusses SCORE prize

By JESSICA COOKE jcooke@covingtonleader.com On Wednesday, Nov. 7, the Tipton County School Board was presented with an award banner by a representative of the State Collaborative on Reforming Education, an independent nonprofit organization based in Nashville.

The prize is given to various schools and districts on a statewide basis to reward considerable improvements in the quality of public education and to celebrate increased student achievement.

As she presented the banner to the school board, SCORE representative Laura Moore praised local schools for their vision and standards which she claimed far exceed expectations.

This well-earned award was without a doubt the highlight of this month’s school board meeting on Thursday.

The meeting also involved an update to last month’s discussion concerning the use of personal communication and electronic SEE SCHOOL, PAGE A3

Trespassers beware: Old Trinity haunted by deputies

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com People visiting Old Trinity in the Fields Episcopal Church on Halloween night received a scare they probably weren’t expecting.

Instead of waiting to see if a statue in the church cemetery bled from its eyes, trespassers were confronted by two detectives hiding inside the church.

“The vandalism and trespassing at the church

has got to stop,” said Tipton County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Chief Donna Turner. “It’s going beyond just the myths now.”

Aside from an annual pilgrimage on Trinity Sunday, the church, built by slaves in 1847, sits as a vacant reminder of the South before the Civil War. For many years, rumors of paranormal activity have circulated through the community and the church has become a popular haunt for thrill-seekers who wish

to put local legends and ghost stories to the test.

In doing so, though, said Turner, the law is being broken.

“Two months ago the vandalism started back up,” she said. “Because of the folklore, things always come to a head right around Halloween. There are several myths associated with the church and there are some problems because the church is vaOld Trinity in the Fields Episcopal Church, in a cant most of the time.”

Taylor named TNOA officer of the year On Thursday, Nov.8, 25th Judicial District Drug Task Force Agent Garrison Taylor was presented with the Tennessee Narcotics Officers Association (TNOA) Narcotics Officer of the Year Award for the Western Region of Tennessee, at their annual awards banquet and training conference held in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

Garrison was first assigned to the 25th Judicial District Drug Task Force from the Covington Police Department in July, 2007, and served as the Agent Supervisor for the Task Force. During that time, Garrison led numerous drug operations and investigations that resulted in successful prosecutions in Fayette and Tipton counties. In July, 2009, as a result of grant funding, Garrison was hired and assigned to a full-time position with the 25th Judicial District Drug Task Force, where he was appointed to serve as the Deputy DTF Director and lead case Agent for the 25th Judicial District DTF. On Oct. 1, 2011, Garrison was assigned to the DEA Resident Memphis Office as a Task Force Officer, and was immediately assigned to “Operation Sick Puppy”, an OCDETF case which targeted a significant cocaine drug trafficking organization (DTO) in Lauderdale County, Tennessee. This operation was initiated in January, 2011 by the DEA, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI), and the 25th Judicial District Drug Task Force after multiple murders occurred in a short period of time in Lauderdale County, including the

October, 2010 double homicide of two U.S. Postal Service employees in Henning, Tennessee. The operation was targeted to investigate the relationship of these increased incidents of violence to the drug trafficking organization and activity in the Lauderdale County area.

As a result of Agent Taylor’s leadership and dedication to the operation, on April 10, 2012, a total of 21 members of the DTO were indicted by a federal grand jury in Memphis for violations of the federal Controlled Substances Act (CSA), by conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine and more than 500 grams of cocaine base. On April 12, 2012, the drug suspects were arrested during a large scale round-up by multiple federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies.

“These arrests have made a significant impact on the overall public safety of Lauderdale County, and without Agent Taylor’s hard work and commitment to the operation, such unchecked lawlessness would have continued to plague and endanger the people of Lauderdale County”, said District Attorney Mike Dunavant. “We join the TNOA in expressing our gratitude to Agent Taylor for his tireless efforts in narcotics investigations in West Tennessee, and we congratulate him on this well-deserved recognition”, said Dunavant.

Dacus Riding Club asks for assistance

By JESSICA COOKE jcooke@covingtonleader.com The Dacus Riding Club president and board of directors attended the Brighton Mayor and Board of Aldermen meeting on Tuesday to discuss their efforts to make their arena a point of pride for the city of Brighton and Tipton County.

They reported that in the past few months, they have held multiple community events at their facility, including major tractor pulls, barrel rolls, horse shows, and 4-H events.

These events, they said, have proven to be successful in bringing people in as a community attraction, and have motivated the club to purchase upgrades and perform renovations to make their facility more aesthetically pleasing as well as functional.

As a non-profit organization, the board is requesting assistance from the city with their electric and water bills so that they can focus their financial efforts on purchasing these upgrades. This assistance, they say, will allow them to upgrade their facilities while at the same time continuing to turn lights on for events.

Mayor Scott and Brighton aldermen requested documentation concerning the club’s past finances and

proposed budget, which will take effect in January, and advised that the matter would be taken under careful consideration, as the requested assistance could not only benefit the riding club, but the city of Brighton as well.

Also in attendance were representatives from the local Boy Scouts, who reported that the county-wide Veteran’s Day Flag Retirement Ceremony was a great success.

They briefly discussed a few of their upcoming events as well.

Other matters discussed in the meeting are as follows: ▪ The date for the Brighton Christmas Parade was confirmed, which will be Monday, Dec. 3rd at 7 p.m. in Downtown Brighton.

▪ Fire Chief Bridges discussed upcoming mandatory changes in their radio system, and will provide the final date these changes must be made.

▪ The police department report was given, and the number of calls they received in the past month were significantly high.

Brighton citizens are cautioned to keep an eye out for suspicious activity, especially concerning break-ins.

▪ The police department requested additional security measures for their facilities, including the installation of security cameras. Mayor Scott

requested exact prices for this equipment.

▪ Alderman Wyatt made a motion to have decals put on vehicles belonging to the Public Works department. This motion was passed.

At next month’s meeting, the newlyelected aldermen will be sworn in.

Brighton's meetings of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen take place on the second Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. at City Hall.

FPC to host community Deputy justified in shooting Thanksgiving dinner By echo day eday@covingtonleader.com

By echo day eday@covingtonleader.com With plans to serve the community next week, members of Covington’s First Presbyterian Church are showing they are walking the walk, so to speak.

On Thanksgiving Day, church members will host a community Thanksgiving dinner at the Chamber Center.

“This is open to everyone,” said the Rev. Dr. Scott Sealy, the church’s pastor.

“We’ll continue to serve until the food runs out.”

The dinner, which has been in the works for a year, came about because the church was looking for ways to

reach out and serve the community in a more effective way. The church provides food through its Food for Friends food pantry, but Sealy said hosting a dinner provides in other ways.

“Meeting their physical needs (through the food pantry) is one thing, but sharing time together is nourishing to the soul.”

Sealy said it is important to put faith into action.

“When you put your faith into action your faith grows,” he said.

The dinner will take place at noon.

The Chamber Center is located at 101 West Court Square, Covington.

A former deputy was recently cleared by the grand jury for a shooting that left a Drummonds man dead.

The shooting took place on July 23 after deputies Ryan Magee and Tyler Huelsing responded to a domestic disturbance in the 1600 block of Pryor Road.

According to reports, deputies escorted Krystle Henry to her residence after an argument with her boyfriend, Charles “Scooter” McRaven. Henry wanted to collect personal items so she could spend the night elsewhere.

After deputies knocked on the door several times, McRaven opened the door and pointed a shotgun at Magee.

McRaven was ordered to drop the gun and did not comply.

Magee fired three shots, striking McRaven twice. He was pronounced dead at 9:43 p.m.

The entire incident was captured on Magee’s in-car dash camera.

Toxicology reports indicate McRaven was under the influence of alcohol, marijuana and Xanax at the time of his death.

In the last year, McRaven had two prior arrests for domestic assault, which involved Henry, and one for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

On Nov. 5, the Tipton County Grand Jury ruled Magee’s use of deadly force was justified, proper and necessary to stop the threat of deadly violence.

“There is no question that Deputy Magee acted legally, appropriately and just as he was trained to do when confronted with such a dangerous and unpredictable domestic violence situation,” said District Attorney Mike Dunavant.

Magee has since left law enforcement and moved out of state.

A group representing the fire department attended a meeting of the Tipton County General Welfare committee last month with a petition signed by 807 people in support of condemning the property.

• During the finance and administration report, Commissioner Quincy Barlow said that $9,000 was being paid by the county to replace repeaters on a tower at the Tipton County Landfill.

The action was taken to fix communication problems that Tipton County Sheriff's Office deputies have been having for several months.

• Huffman said that next month's meeting has been moved to Dec. 18 at 7 p.m.

Church

Continued from A1 have desecrated headstones in the church cemetery and have repeatedly vandalized the building, breaking locks, windows and more.

“It’s deteriorated to the point where there’s no lock on the door,” Turner said, explaining caretakers would rather people enter the church through an unlocked door than break it down.

“When they trespass and vandalize things, the church elders and caretakers are having to foot the costs.”

To help curb the problem, the undercover operation was put into motion on Halloween night. Turner said 23 people – from ages 12 to 46 – were cited into court for trespassing.

Two men were also arrested.

While detectives hid inside the sanctuary, the men entered, approached the altar and, she said, began mumbling satanic messages.

The two – Samuel Edward Rogers, 18, of Mason and Steven Michael Gallagher, 46, of Memphis – were both charged with drug possession in addition to trespassing. Rogers was in the

Both men are out on a $10,000 bond.

Turner said the operation is part of an ongoing investigation and cautions potential trespassers to think twice before entering the property.

“One rumor you can confirm: it may not be haunted by ghosts, but you might meet a Tipton County deputy out there.”

Persons with information regarding vandalism at the church are asked to call 901-475-3300.

FLASHBACK

GUEST OPINION

The promise and the problem of youth Oh, to be young again—but not too fast!

Believe it or not, I was young once. I am now getting invitations from AARP to join and I am still shy of my 52nd birthday. Too young to draw social security, yet too old to get a job as a disc jockey for the dance. I look back at my own youth, which I would define as the period between my 13th and 30th birthdays, and remember both the promise and problems.

When we are young we are full of hope and optimism. Sometimes this makes us gullible, but it also made us reach for what for many seem unachievable. Just ask Bill Gates. Of course, we did not have the 24-hour television with 500 stations, video games, cell phones and the texting world to divert our attention, and I think this did give us more time to look beyond instant gratification.

Don’t get me wrong.

J IM HARDIN The youth of my generation wanted success immediately, but failure did not seem to dissuade us from continuing to try, at least for a while. I think that is the strength and weakness of youth; that time and experience tempers, sometimes in good ways so as to make us more thoughtful before we dive in, but it can be bad if we let failure make us too cautious so as to not try to get anything of merit accomplished.

Faith can be much more abundant among the young. As we get older, we start to doubt that which faith imagined as possible. We are confident in youth before fear creeps in and make us hold back.

It’s often hard to get the attention of those older when you are young. I can remember when I turned thirty. It seemed I had finally become an adult that people would actually listen to, except for my kids.

A problem I do see that is more pronounced today is that youth have so many material things—cell phones, cars, and other items that were generally luxuries only for the youth of the rich. Parents, schools and much of society seems to think that the best head start for the young is a wealth of equipment, gadgets and things.

I do see the material wealth of the American youth as a hindrance. There is something seductive about the modern technological age that tends to turn youth into spectators, impatient or questioning about the advantages of thrift and hard work. We give young people the fruits of our modern society when we should be giving them the apple seed in order to teach them the hard work of cultivating followed by the great sense of success after much labor.

It has been said that the youth are the guardians of our future liberties and freedom. Some of my generation and older are a little fearful of this thought. Around 700 B.C., the Greek poet Hesiod said “I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on the frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words.”

It would be easy to fall into that way of thinking. The older folks from all previous generations seemed to be similarly concerned about the youth of their day as far back as recorded time. I struggle with this myself, but I know that I must hold out for the possibility that our young people will be the next great generation that sacrifices self interest for their families, communities and country.

It is up to those of us over 30 to teach the young good habits that will make for a better society. Help them be wary of deceit without dashing their hopes and dreams. Teach them that temperance is to be used as a tool to ensure they avoid the pitfalls of hasty desires and ambitions, but not to petrify them into inaction and cynicism.

Despite the many problems of youth, there always remains the promise!

Otis Griffin is the author of the book “Southern Raisin”. He was born in Charleston, Tenn., and attended Rosemark Grammar School and Bolton High School.

Twenty students from Munford High School were selected to sing in the 2012 All-Northwest Tennessee Honor Choir. For the fourth straight year, MHS increased the number of its students accepted to the choir, and set a school record for the most MHS students ever selected in a year. Only three other schools in west Tennessee sent more students. In addition, six students were selected to go on to audition for All-State. The choir met November 8-10 and were conducted by Dr. Jeffery Redding, Drector of Choirs at West Virginia University. Senior Lacey Hindman was 1st chair Soprano 1 as the highest scoring Soprano 1 in the region, a featured soloist at the event, and received a trophy for being selected to All-West all six years of eligibility. Students prepared the music during the fall and had to pass an audition in October to be selected. Munford hosted an All-West concert for all the high schools serving Tipton County in preparation for those auditions.

Many years later during one of our front porch talks Momma relived how simple it was for ankle biters to attend the local community schools. Momma had my birth certificate that proved I was born; not hatched. If I had my shot? Just look at my beautiful left shoulder with a scar about the size of a silver dollar. I just hoped I wasn’t required to get cholera or erysipelas and possibly a hoof and mouth disease shot too.

Everything you could think of. Who was my Doctor? Well, ‘Doc’ Flippin. My dentist. Daddy yanked a couple that were hanging, but we visited Dr. Reed in Millington. Beloved when Mrs. Eunice Moffatt asked Momma for our phone number about calling if I got hurt, she was surprised to learn we didn’t have a phone as it was too expensive. Momma proudly said, “just call Alice our wonderful neighbor and she’ll come get me.”

My folks didn’t get a phone until I was twenty five and gone. Too high! Just a few Southern Memories of a strange transformation of a country Redneck….Glory!

• Low interest rates — Many retirees depend on fixed-rate investments for a good portion of their retirement income — so it’s a real challenge when interest rates are low. Consequently, when you retire, you’ll certainly need to be aware of the interest-rate environment and the income you can expect from these investments.

Longer-term fixed-rate vehicles may be tempting, as they typically offer higher rates than shorterterm ones, but these longer term investments may have more price fluctuation and inflation risk than shorter-term investments. Consequently, you’ll still likely need balance between short, intermediate, and long-term investments to provide for a portion of your income in retirement.

Retirement can be a rewarding time in your life. And you can help make your retirement years even more enjoyable by understanding the relevant investment risks and taking steps to address them.

On November 6, 2012 this community participated in an election of historic proportions. During early voting and election day well over 24,000 people voted.

Two full-time and one part-time Election Commission employees, with the help and guidance of five part-time Election Commissioners, hired and trained approximately 160 registered voters.

These voters, each with an average of 90 minutes of training, carried out the entire election. Each of them acted without regard to

personal political preference. Anyone who thinks Republicans and Democrats cannot work together should observe these members of our community devoting their time and effort to bringing about a fair and accurate election.

I want to convey our deepest thanks to the members of the community who made this happen.

In addition, thanks to the institutions who provided us with essential supplies and locations to train and to vote. These include: Neighborhood Tutor, Atoka; Covington High School; Canaan Baptist Church, Covington; National

Wiley Drive 'Nana' celebrates 100 years of love

By SHERRI ONORATI Special to The Leader In 1912, the life expectancy of people in the United States was only 51.5 years compared to 78.3 in 2012. Munford resident Mary Vance Hill has surpassed both of those predictions and she will celebrate her 100th birthday this month.

She was born in Tipton County right about the time Washington D.C. received its famed gift of 3,020 cherry blossom trees from Tokyo mayor Yukio Ozaki to symbolize the friendship between the United States and Japan.

Mary Vance was the only daughter of James Vancoat Fite and Mary Edith Delashmit, born on Nov. 23, 1912. Her father, a 41-year old widower with three children, Walter, Larry and Kate, married her 17-year old mother on Dec. 1, 1906.

Soon the blended family home was filled with more love as five more sons, William, James Earl, Robert, Russell, David, also known as Pat, and Mary Vance were welcomed additions to the family.

Her ancestors, both the Fite and Delashmit families, were early settlers and farmers in Tipton County. Beginning in the 1830s, the Delashmits began acquiring land and were extensive property owners in the Holly Grove area. On her father’s side of the family, the Fites acquired several hundred acres on and west of Marshall Road.

The family farm included a gristmill, blacksmith shop, cash crops, orchards and vegetable

gardens.

Mary Vance and her brothers attended Egypt School in Brighton, a oneroom, framed schoolhouse which taught students in grades 1st thru 6th. In 1922, when 9-year old Mary Vance was in the 4th grade, her teacher was her older sister Kate Fite Banks, who throughout Mary’s life was constant source of strength for the young girl. Mary Vance was a very good student and during the 1927/28 school year when she was in the 8th grade, she ended the school term with two grades of B+ in arithmetic and U.S. history, three A’s in English, geography and deportment and two A+’s in reading and spelling and earned a promotion to the 9th grade at Brighton High School. While at Brighton High, she traveled by horseback to school each day and during the winter months she boarded with her older sister and her husband, Walter Banks.

When Mary Vance was just 10 years old, her beloved father died in a gravel pit accident on Nov. 8, 1923. Her mother remarried her deceased husband’s nephew, John (Jack) Fite on Dec. 18, 1925.

As a teenager, she enjoyed many activities that were typical of the time – church socials, family get-togethers and spending time with her many siblings, cousins and friends. A few of her very best friends were Ruth and Lillian McGowan, Elsie Elam and Bessie Delashmit.

The Depression was a difficult time and espe-

pensated by working on the family farm and stashing rationed goods.

Her children remember their mother stashing rationed goods in the attic, including canned pineapple that she used in baking cakes for Sunday afternoon visitors.

“Momma always tried to see that we had a stable life,” said Harrison.

“It was hard times but she loved us so much.”

“Momma loved her children and other people’s children as well,” added Harrison. “She expected us to study hard and always be honest.

She taught us moral character, to be fair-minded and to treat everyone like you’d like to be treated.

The children of Wiley Drive have known her as “Nana.” Her door was always open to them and they could count on receiving kind words, gingered with servings of cookies and ice cream.

Some of her most treasured memories are times spent with her grand, great and great-great grandchildren who will always remember her imagination and creative story-telling.”

She is a 60-year member of the Munford Methodist Church and she is appreciative of all God’s blessings received during her earthly life span of 100 years.

The family of Mary Vance Hill would like to invite friends and family to her 100th birthday celebration on Sunday, Nov. 25 from 2-4 p.m. at Munford Methodist Church, 57 S. Tipton Rd. in Munford. The family request that only birthday cards be given.

cially for so young a couple. E.B. had a hard time locating work that would allow him to support his young family. Although she loved her husband very much, Mary Vance was tired of his extended absences and lack of monetary support and knew she had to take care of her young daughters. She filed for divorce in Aug. 1938.

Mary Vance then met Addison Hill of Randolph, a kind and loving widower who had a young daughter named Shirley Faye. They married on Dec. 7, 1938.

Living during the Great Depression meant that the entire family had to pull together and work on the family farm, including the children.

Mary and her children all worked in the fields to help support the family.

“Life got a lot better after momma married my step-father,” reminisced her oldest daughter Guelda Faye Harrison. “We were able to buy our first house and momma worked hard to make sure we had what we needed. She would work two days hulling cotton to earn $3 a day to be able to buy material to make us our clothes.”

During World War II, Addison and Mary Vance both found employment at DuPont Powder Plant in Millington where gunpowder was made for the war effort. While working at the plant, both Addison and Mary Vance suffered severe chemical burns to their legs. Mary’s wounds were so severe; she had to quit working at the plant, which put a further strain on the family’s budget. She com-

Tipton County and the Civil War: October 1862 Compiled by Russell B. Bailey Tipton County Historian

Perryville In his recollections, Captain James I. Hall wrote of the Confederate invasion of Kentucky during the Fall of 1862. He recalled the night march across the Cumberland Mountains due to the extreme heat and scarcity of water.

He detailed the absence of commissary wagons at Sparta where Gen. Cheatham purchased from a farmer a field of corn “just in good roasting ear stage and the fence enclosing the field for fuel to roast the corn,” causing some of his comrades to eat as many as 6 to 8 ears of roasted corn each. At Glascow, Kentucky, they attended an impressive communion service at the Presbyterian Church, the first since their entry into the service.

He also recounted the capture of the Federal garrison at Munfordville on Green River and the Louisville & Nashville Railroad.

Hall remembered the 60-mile march to Bardstown in the bluegrass region where they acquired a great abundance of supplies. He remembered eating delicious and tender beef from their fat cattle while suffering for the want of drinking water, writing that “all we had was warm and muddy pond water.” He recalled the hot and dry weather and the intoler-

Hi Everyone, Sorry I missed visiting with you last week.

However, being election week, I was preoccupied working for the winner of the 81st district election for State Representative position for Mrs. Debra Moody.

This past weekend, Mr. Jimmy Vandergrift and his wife Karen opened their lake home to the many who worked and helped support Miss Debra. We had a wonderful time and the food was delicious. Please continue to remember Mrs. Moody and her family in your prayers as she takes on this new position.

Charlie is fine and we had a very busy weekend. My nephew, who had served in Iraq a year ago, came to visit with us also. He brought me a 102 Special Forces Bible.

Bless his heart, he is finally moving forward, but his memories will always remain with him.

He shared Veterans Day with us and was so happy to see all the family. It made him so happy and I`m sure proud to see all our American Flags flying in several communi-

able dust on the turnpikes. He told of the march to Lebanon, Perryville and on to Danville where they found good drinking water and where they visited Centre College where some had matriculated, and of the march to Daniel Boone country at Harrodsburg where they met “more Southern sympathizers than any place on their march thus far.”

Former Covington Mayor/State Representative John Green Hall wrote: “The entrance into Perryville, with banners flying while, with firm tread, we keep step to the soul-stirring strains of martial music; the bright faces and cheering words of her women (with Confederate aprons and flags), as they welcomed us to their State.”

On October 7th, Gen. Braxton Bragg’s Confederate Army of about 22,500 men were concentrated at Perryville. Union General Don C. Buell’s 60,000 men were converging on the town also. The battle fought the next day pitted 16,000 Rebels against 37,000 Yankees. The soldiers of both armies were poorly served by their commanding generals. Bragg ordered his men to attack thinking he was confronting a small portion of the enemy; Buell was in camp several miles from the battlefield unaware that a major battle had been fought due to sound refraction.

With the exception of approxi-

ties around us. Thanks again to all of our military and veterans.

Also please remember the Joe Kelly Morgan family, located here in our community, in the loss of his wife, Mrs. Kathy Bridges Morgan.

Our prayers are with you.

Thursday, November 15, 2012 • THE LEADER • A9

I was watching a news program the other day and a doctor was talking about his new book.

I was quite impressed, to say the least. He was very convincing and sincere with his account on his book. I have to say I am going to have to read it.

It's called Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife by M.D. Eben Alexander III. Amazon has this in paperback, hardcover, audio, and on your Kindle. I'm a believer anyway but I still love to read about others' convictions.

Nov. 24 is Support Small Business Day!! It is so very important for community support for us to survive. This holi-

day season is upon us, so please visit your local businesses and make your purchases from them for Christmas. It is going to become ever so hard to continue to thrive in this economy with the burdens of taxes and reforms on the small business owners if we don't support them. Large corporations do feel the effects but not as throatcutting as the small business. So I send a plea for them: HELP US! Congratulations to Covington Football! They are on a roll. We still have a team in the playoffs.

They will be playing Trezevant again this weekend. Go Chargers! That shout out was for Millie.

By the way, progress reports go out today!

Hope all of your kiddies did well; if not, it could be a long Thanksgiving Break! That goes for mine, too.

Our prayers go out to the Cope family and Bridges families. Please keep them close on the death of their loved ones.

The Alpha Book Club will be meeting tonight at Blanche Strong's home at 7:30.

Happy birthday to Carmen Hill, John Evans, Ashley Yarbrough, Teresa Miller, Christy Oswalt, Teresa Hayes, Marvine Coley,Mallory Utley, Laura Griggs, Debbie Jones, Lindsey Pate,

Dunlap Retirement Center Now I know, Mama, how you felt when “the want to had got up and gone."

I know now why you didn’t have the energy to do all that baking we used to love for you to do! Sorry, Mama!

Speaking of Thanksgiving, Dunlap residents are going to be blessed this year by having the Girl Scouts of America get together and make dinner for all of them. What a special treat! They will be here this coming Saturday, and bringing lunch with them. I’m so excited for the folks to be able to spend some time with the little girls. I’ll let you know how it goes next week.

I would like to take this opportunity to say how wonderfully talented Austin Peay Elementary School is! If you have never been to their Veteran’s Day program, you

have been missing out on the most absolutely amazing thing ever put on in Tipton County.

This was my third year to go because my grandson, Jackson Hanks, is in 2nd grade there. He was in kindergarten with Ms. Shelly Mize, who was by the way, wonderful, and then in 1st grade with Ms. Kim Joyner, who also wonderful, and now this year, he is in the 2nd grade with Ms. DaLisa Stearns.

She is a military wife herself and her heart pumps military blood, and Jackson adores her! I totally agree with Mr. Weathers, our wonderful and most humble speaker, that this program should have been put on at the FedEx Forum! Thanks to the Austin Peay staff and faculty and all of you amazing children that are being taught to honor folks who gave their lives and still are today for our freedom. Most of all, thanks to the veterans for serving and protecting

our freedom!

Well, this has been a wonderful week! I think of the many residents that have lived here at Dunlap and served our country. Some have passed on, some have had to move on to a higher level of care, and some are still here! I hate to name any one or two people, but there are a couple that comes to my mind: Mr. Fred Svigel, Mr. Chester Marshall, Mr. Harold Nelms, God rest their precious souls!

And then Mr. Freddie Huggins, who always went to the Veterans Day program with me and he always talked about the “Korean war." We love and miss you, Mr. Freddie, but we can still go see him because he’s just in Arlington. Thank you all so much for serving!

Until next week, God bless you all, and God please continue to bless America!

Debe Simonton Hello my friends, I am thankful on this chilly, frosty and gorgeous day we have been blessed with. My goodness, where does the time go? The year is just about over and Thanksgiving is next week. That means the kids are out of school for the week also. I know they are happy although many of us won't be, but I'm glad for the teachers.

You know they need the week for sure! So if you feel the need to pull your hair out, just imagine how they must feel with 30+ kids for 7 to 8 hours a day! Just thinking of that makes me break out in sweat!

Hello, all! Ready or not, here it comes! Old man winter is showing his ugly head! I don’t know about you but I’m just not ready for it to be cold.

This beautiful weather we’ve had for the last two months has spoiled me rotten. But then you consider we are nearing the end of November, and Christmas is right around the corner. Yes, I know, I’m not ready for it either, but it’s also one of those “ready or not, here it comes” things!

We can all look forward to Thanksgiving here in a few days! I personally love Thanksgiving, when you get together without all the hustle and bustle of getting out in the crowds, buying gifts, wrapping (back-breaking at my house, don’t know about yours), decorating your house…just thinking of it makes me tired!

Livestockers win awards

By JERRY JOHNSON CHS FFA The Covington FFA Livestock Judging Team recently competed in three different competitions.

On Oct. 30, the team competed in the Tipton County Junior Livestock Association Livestock Judging Contest at Brighton High School. The team placed third in the event.

Nov. 1 the team traveled to Parsons to compete in the Western Region 4-H Livestock Judging Contest in

Mt. Carmel Elaine Watkins

It was cold Monday night! I have the gas heater on next to me and it feels good! The cold front last night brought in over an inch and half of rain and our wheat is coming up better today already! I hate that it's dark so early now; I feel like going to bed, but it's only 7:49!

I worked the election at the Armory and we had a steady crowd, though it was never really packed.

There was no one in line at 7 so we got on out of there about 8 p.m. I'm glad it's over; what are people going to post on Facebook now?

I took Debbie Otts to lunch on Friday for her birthday. We went to Millington to eat and look around at a couple of hardware stores. Elizabeth and Lyla came over after I got home and stayed a while. Lyla loves

which the team finished ninth out of 25 teams. Nov. 8 the team traveled to UT Martin for the West Tennessee FFA Livestock Judging Contest where the team finished 6th in the district.

Livestock judging consists of the student evaluating sheep, swine, cattle, and goats. The student must also say up to three sets of reasons on the species, depending on the specifications of the competition.

The chapter is very proud of these students for all of their hard work!

playing in our leaves!

We had a big frost Thursday morning but no freeze yet. You're supposed to wait till after a freeze to set out bulbs, so I'm waiting! I did go ahead and plant two mums that I'd had in my front yard, and also a Lantana that was in a pot. Never knew they were perennials. I always let them die in their pots, and buy another one the next spring!

Joyce Scott and Charlie Click are doing well following surgeries. Larry Whaley II had surgery last week and is on the road to recovery. So many others are on our prayer list, including our servicemen and women, and those taking treatments.

The birthday party at Covington Manor will be on Nov. 17 at 2 p.m. The Annual Ladies Christmas Party will be at Laura Craft's home on Dec. 2.

Happy birthday this

week to Brock McMahan, who was a year old on Nov. 11, to Frank Brown on the 12th, to Matthew Coats, Charlie Click, Michelle Nowak, Barbara Johnson and Ben Evans on the 15th and to Allison Cates on the 16th!

It was good to see April McMahan Gyllenhammar and her children here from Trosa, Sweden, last week. I know it's always hard for Jimmy and Kathy when they leave!

My sincere symathy is extended to Pam Tankersley in the death of her mother, Patsy Blakely. That family has my prayers.

This week's Farmer's Almanac Quote: "Indian Summer can occur between Nov. 11 (St. Martin's Day) and Nov. 20."

I missed saying Happy Veterans Day last week, so this week: Sa-lute!

Enjoy the crisp air and falling leaves. And next week: turkey!

Hi Folks, We have a huge picture window in our bedroom.

The last thing I do before I go to bed is to pull the blind. Then the first thing I do in the morning is to open the blind. I get to see the beautiful lake just below our home. It belongs to our good neighbors, the Williams, who live behind us, and they can't even see the lake from their home.

My crepe myrtle tree: This past Sunday morning about 8:30 a.m. I lay back down on my bed and I saw this amazing sight: my giant crepe myrtle tree was dancing with the wind. The colors were magnificent red, yellow, orange,

green, and all colors in between.

There is one limb reaching across my window. This summer my husband was trimming all the shrubbery. I said, "NO, don't trim that limb," because it had a beautiful blooms on it right at my window. So he left it alone. Now the leaves and branches are putting on a show of colors and dancing with the wind.

Brother Ramsey.

We are collecting food, toys, and offerings for Reelfoot Rural Ministries' Thanksgiving and Christmas needs. Rev. Michel Blake, director of RRM, will be our guest preacher this Sunday.

Bible Study is Wednesday at 6 p.m. We continue our study of Jeremiah, chapters 30 -34.

During our communion offering last week we gave $388 toward the United Methodist Committee on reliefs disaster response for those affected by Hurricane Sandy.

May we continue to pray for all who have been harmed by this storm.

Love and prayers.

Chargers roll into quarters No contest: White leads second round rout

By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com Were it not for 145 penalty yards, the Covington Chargers’ demolition of the Sheffield Knights Friday night might have been more complete than it was.

As it happened, the Chargers (12-0) rolled to a 28-0 lead at the half and cruised to a 42-6 home win in the second round of the TSSAA Class 4A state playoffs.

Covington, now two wins away from a berth in the state title game, moves on to host Trezevant tomorrow night in the quarterfinals.

“We came out ready and executed well in the first half,” said Covington coach Marty Wheeler.

“Once we adjusted to their speed we defended better as well. Our red zone play was efficient and our special teams were on point in the first half.”

Mr. Football finalist Johnston White continued his record-setting season, scoring five touchdowns while rushing for 315 yards on 29 carries.

Friday’s totals give White 2,342 rushing yards for the year, eclipsing his record-setting total of 2128 yards in 2011. The five touchdowns push his season total to 38 (37 rushing, 1 by pass), also a new record, replacing Darron White’s previous record of 33 in the 2000 season.

Additionally, White needs 13 yards rushing to set a new CHS career-rushing total. He scored on runs of 19, 37, 24, three and six yards. He has fumbled just once in 244 touches this year.

New coaches take over

MHS girls fall to Central Cougars top Warriors in season opener

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Munford Lady Cougar head coach Steve Poindexter scheduled powerhouse Memphis Central in the season opener to get an idea how his team stacks up against the best teams in Class AAA. The Lady Cougars lost to Central 46-34 Friday night at home, but Poindexter feels like his team proved it can compete with the best.

“I'm not discouraged,” Poindexter said. “I feel like we can compete with anybody … The fight was there.”

Poor shooting proved to be Munford's downfall. The Lady Cougars shot just 20 percent from the field and made just 2 of 21 3-pointers.

Nevertheless, Munford found itself in the game late in the third quarter.

Precious Mills hit a 3-pointer from the corner with 2:09 left in the third to trim Central's lead to 29-19.

But Central, behind Baylor commitment Nina Davis, responded with a 12-2 run and Munford never got closer than 12 points the rest of the way.

Munford senior Robneisha Lee led the way for Munford with 16 points. Lauren Zvonalek

added eight and Shaliyah Wiggins added seven.

Davis led Central with 16.

Munford had a lot of open looks but failed to

convert most of them.

“I felt like we got the shots we wanted,” Poindexter said. “We just didn't make them. Early SEE MHS, PAGE B2

Cates leads BHS girls

Hopkins at Munford

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com

The 2011-12 Brighton Lady Cardinal basketball season was one to forget.

Brighton won just three games and saw its season end in the district tournament.

Former assistant Kent Cates takes over this year and will be attempting to take the program in a new direction.

“In my viewpoint, the players have responded with nothing but determination and hard work,” said Cates, who had been an assistant at Brighton the last two seasons. “Everyone is excited about getting the season kicked off. I believe that this team has a strong desire to compete and win. I could not have asked for the team to work any harder and I feel that it will pay off on the court. The senior leadership has been great.”

Cates will have three senior starters returning in Hailley Shepard, McCallie Ruffin and Alaina Bierdz.

Kate Price, Morgan Shaver and Brianna Brown round out the senior class.

Back in 2004, Butch Hopkins stepped down after coaching Dyer County to multiple state tournament appearances during his 10-year tenure.

Over the last eight years, he's served as a volunteer coach at various places, all the while considering getting back into the profession full time.

When the Munford job came open last spring, the time seemed right for Hopkins to enter the fray again.

Now, along with his brother and assistant coach Bill Hopkins, he's in charge of a Cougar program that has largely struggled the last few years.

“It was just a situation we were looking for,” said Hopkins, 66.

“There were several reasons why.”

One of which is his connection to Tipton County.

Hopkins graduated from ByarsHall High School (now Covington High School) in 1965, finishing his career with as the school's all-time leading scorer with 1,434 points.

He coached Tipton County Schools

Playoff preview

What: Covington (12-0) vs. Trezevant (10-2) Where: Covington When: Friday at 7 p.m.

Key players: CHS - RB Johnston White, WR/DB Carlos Williams, LB Khamal Pendleton; THS – QB Jordan Spencer, RB Jamal Jones, WR LeMarcus Stewart Notables: Covington and Trezevant have one common opponent this year in Dyersburg. The Bears shut out Dyersburg 26-0 in the first round of the playoffs. Covington trailed Dyersburg 3-0 at the half before rallying for a 20-3 win on Aug. 30 in Dyersburg … Trezevant advanced to the 2010 Class 4A state title game, losing to Greeneville 60-12. Because of multiple personal fouls and general misconduct, the team was banned from last year's playoffs by the TSSAA. Trezevant beat Covington 48-6 in the first round of the 2010 playoffs … Stewart caught three touchdown passes and intercepted a pass during the Bears' 36-6 win over Mitchell last week. Stewart was a member of the 2010 state runner-up team.

Quotable: “Trezevant is comparable to Milan and Ridgeway in 2002. (Ridgeway beat Covington that year in the quarterfinals and went on to a state title.

Wheeler was an assistant coach on that Covington team.) They are young, fast, well-coached, disciplined and very aggressive on defense. They have a balanced offense, running and passing the ball equally well. They will be the most physical team that we have seen all year.” - Covington head coach Marty Wheeler What's next: The victor advances to the state semifinals to take on the winner of the Liberty-White House game. Covington would host next week with a win.

CHS

Continued from B1 Covington gave up a lone score following a kick-off return to the CHS 30 yard line to open the second half.

“We came out flat in the second half,” Wheeler said, "and that’s my fault. We relaxed with a lead and we did not place the kick where we wanted to and it led to a big return. Overall our kick coverage was good.

We just had way too may penalties (17).”

Wheeler pulled the starters for the most part midway through the

third period, giving the “B” team some valuable playing time and playoff experience to boot.

The second teamers acquitted themselves well, shutting out the Knights and adding a final CHS score on a seven-yard run

by Jalen Henderson early in the fourth quarter.

The Charger defense held Sheffield (7-5) to 190 yards.

All of Covington's yardage (489) came via the ground game.

Aretavious Brown returned to the backfield

and added 49 yards on five carries for Covington. Henderson had five touches for 89 yards and a TD. Khamal Pendelton picked off a pass and recovered a fumble for Covington and Trae Wilson recovered a fumble.

Continued from B1 in the game we had some drives and we didn't finish them. They got ahead and that hurt us.”

Central led 11-4 after one quarter and 23-12 at the half.

In boys action, Munford got its 2011-12 campaign off to a great start, taking down Central, last year's Class AAA state runnerup, 63-58.

Jonathan Stark and

Kameron Foster, both of whom transferred from Brighton to Munford this year, led the way.

Stark scored 25 points and Foster added 17 as Munford went on a 15-5 run in the third quarter to take control.

Central led 19-17 at the half.

Joshua Jones led the Warriors with 25 points.

CATES

Continued from B1 Junior Teiona Lewis and sophomores Kaeyln Forbess, Lily Hill and Jada Johnson also return with limited experience.

The team will be looking to make up ground in a very difficult District 13-AAA that includes experienced teams like Munford and Jackson North Side.

Cates said his goal is to achieve long-term success for a program that has struggled the last few years.

“I'm working towards building a program, not just a one-year wonder,” Cates said. “My goal is to foster an environment that encourages the pursuit of excellence.”

Veteran's Day 2012

our hometown heroes

When it comes to celebrating veterans, Tipton County doesn't set aside just one day for tributes. In fact, fields of flags have been flying in salute to these brave men and women for weeks in honor and in memory of the sacrifices they've made to ensure our way of life. On Monday, Nov. 12, the annual Veteran's Day parade took place on the square in Covington and Crestview Middle and Austin Peay Elementary schools hosted programs in honor of local veterans and Luke Weathers III, whose father was one of the famed Tuskegee Airmen, was the featured speaker at Austin Peay. Following are photos that show various festivities that took place in honor of Tipton County's veterans.

What Veterans Day Means to Me

By REGAN RIDER School-wide essay winner, Austin Peay Elementary Fifth grade The people that serve in the military, risk their lives to defend our country and save the United States are amazing. We count on them to fight and to save everyone. They are heroes to us. We appreciate all the great work they have done, and all the sacrifices that they make for us. We are a grateful nation for all they do and all they have done. No one could thank them enough for what they do. Sometimes they don’t get to come home after a war. People like that don’t get to see their wife and kids. I think what it would be like for my dad to go to war, and if he didn’t come home. If he did die he would die being brave, full of pride and courageous. My grandfather went to war in the army. My other one went in the Navy. They are still living. I wonder if people still thank them for what they’ve done even if they are home now. I wonder if there are wars every day, but if there are I don’t worry. I know that there are people I can trust fighting for our country and for me but most of all they are fighting for the world. That is why we should appreciate the people that are fighting, and the soldiers that have lost their lives.

We are a grateful nation!

good to us.

There are those who worship power and prestige. To them, politics is the only important thing in the world. To others, money and its gain is the only thing upon which one should spend life. To this the Bible says, “That the love of money is the root of all evil.”

Could not all of we who are saved agree that the Gospel is more important than politics and dollar bills? We should be engaged in our world, doing what we can to shape it both morally and theologically. Voting is important, handling one’s finances in a good manner is important, but soulwinning, prayer, and faithfulness to God are greater than that. I think it was David Livingstone who said, “Only one life, twill soon be past, only what is done for Christ, will last!” Let’s live like He is more important than this world. Let’s order our giving to promote the Gospel instead of self-indulgence and satisfaction.

And, let’s worship as though it is the only earthly thing that matters, after all, it really is.

2012-13 PREP BASKETBALL PREVIEW

Covington boys reload; Harvey, Dyson return for girls

By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com Optimism is the operative word coming from the 2012-13 Covington Charger basketball camp, and that is applied to both the women's and men’s squads.

“I am really excited about the prospects for our ladies this season,” said Dion Real, who coaches both teams. “We lost five seniors who will be difficult to replace. Nonetheless we are capable of returning to sub-state. We will be more fun to watch because we have more ladies who can do more.”

Precious Harvey returns at the point, coming off a great sophomore campaign. Real says that he expects an even better junior showing from her.

Also returning are senior shooting guard Precious Dyson, who is deadly from long range when on, and junior LeShundra Smerville ,who is a rebounding and scoring presence in the post.

Newcomers include freshman Treasury Poindexter, who Real says has a bright future at CHS. Returning to CHS is junior Janeika Mason. Senior Ashia Jones also joins the team this year.

“Jones and Mason will both surprise folks this year,” said Real. “They are long and athletic and can really play.”

Joining Real on the bench this year are former CHS stars Katresha Glass and Katasha Poindexter for their third season as ladies assistant coaches.

On the men’s side, Real is a little more guarded about his team’s chances this year.

“We are capable of being good,” he said. "With this

new group it will take some time to learn each other.

We have to learn as a group to play tough with defensive play the priority. When and if we figure it out and gel, this team could be special.”

Senior post Jalen Dyson and forward Montel Williams are back for their final go, along with outside threats at guard in juniors Jesse Somerville and Demarcus Seaberry.

“These guys have to be leaders for us,” Real said.

Three newcomers have added to the buzz around the program.

Senior Demetrius Dyson, a former Brighton standout, looks to add firepower at forward. Haywood transfers Chevia and Tarecus Hughes, a senior and junior respectively, will be called on to provide shooting and rebounding improvement.

"These new players will have the opportunity to take this program to another level,” Real said. “They just have to learn this system and our way of doing things. I have really high expectations. We should be entertaining to watch. I look forward to fans packing the gym to see both teams.”

Real is in his fifth season at the Charger men’s helm and in his third with the ladies. He has taken the men to one sub-state, two regional semifinals and one regional first round. Additionally, his ladies reached the sub-state last season. He has 181 career wins in men’s basketball.

Courtney Smith and Steve Poindexter will be on the bench to assist Real for the season.

The 2012-13 campaigns open this Saturday with each team playing a pair of Hall of Fame exhibition

games. The ladies will face off against JCM in Alamo at Crockett County High at 10 am and the men will take on Liberty Tech at the same site at 11:30 a.m. in the McDonald’s Region 7AA Tip-Off Classic.

The teams will then return home to host a Hall of Fame Extravaganza on Saturday afternoon and evening.

In ladies action, Union City will play MHEA at 3 p.m. and Covington will play Cedar Ridge (Ark.) at Accept, Visa, 4:30 pm. In men’s play, Southwind will take on MHEA Mastercard, at 6 pm and Covington will close out theDiscover night against and Union City at 7.

A pair of local boxers will be a part of a boxing event next Tuesday at the New Daisy on Beale Street in Memphis.

Malcolm Terry Jr., and Ira Terry will be on the 12-fight card.

Covington native Ira Terry will take on Verquan Kimbrough, a three-time amateur national champ and former world champ, in the main event.

Ira Terry is a former top-rated light-weight contender.

“This will be an exciting fight with one fighter moving up in line for a major shot at world contention,” said Malcom Terry Sr., the event’s promoter.

Terry Jr., a senior at Brighton High School, will have former pound-for-pound champion Roy Jones Jr. in his corner.

A host of other fighters from

the Mid-South and across the country will all be on hand to support Mid-South Boxing’s Anti-Bullying Campaign.

Visit www.midsouthboxing. com for more information and to purchase tickets, or call (901)4973726.

Tickets are $20 in advance and $30 at the door.

In other area action, a pair of MMA fighters from The Gym in Covington will be competing in Memphis. Richard “The Lion” Conner will compete in a professional match and Chris Barlow will be making his amateur MMA debut at the Cook Convention Center Dec. 15. The fights are hosted by Prizefight MMA.

HOPKINS

Continued from B1 Director of Schools Buddy Bibb in high school. Steve McCullough, Munford’s athletic director, played for his brother.

“I heard they needed a coach,” Hopkins said. “Just out of curiosty, I talked to Steve McCullough about it … We’d been doing this (coaching) for nothing for four or five years, so I said, ‘Let’s do it like we used to do it.’”

Hopkins will be working with

an overhauled roster.

Jonathan Stark, a Division recruit who played for Brighton the last three years, transferred to Munford during the offseason, as did Kameron Foster and Moses Harper, two other key players for the Cardinals last year.

Returning players like seniors Sedric Pryor and Antonio Moore and juniors Andrea Bell and Kylon Hall also figure to make major con-

tributions.

Stark and Foster combined to score 42 points in Munford’s 63-58 win over Memphis Central in the season opener Tuesday.

Hopkins has had success at all of his coaching stops and plans to continue that trend.

“We think we’re going to be competitive,” Hopkins said. “But thinking that and doing that are two different things.”

Broccoli Salad

By PERRYLIN AUSTILL

Asparagus & Pea Casserole

By PERRYLIN AUSTILL

1 can cut asparagus 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 1 can Le Sueur brand Early Peas w/ mushrooms & pearl onions 1 small can French fried onions salt & pepper (or lemon pepper) to taste 1 can cream of mushroom soup 1 small can sliced mushrooms Drain water out of the cans of asparagus, peas, and mushrooms. Pour asparagus, peas, mushrooms, mushroom soup and about half the cheese into a medium casserole dish. Gently stir together ingredients; add salt and pepper, top with remaining cheese and French fried onions. Bake at 325° until casserole is hot and cheese is melted.

NOTE: I always take this to pot-luck dinners because it’s so quick and easy, it’s done in 15 minutes! I always come home with an empty bowl.

Toss together broccoli, cheese, bacon, onion and set aside.

In a separate bowl, mix together Miracle Whip, sugar, and vinegar. Chill separately, and then toss salad and dressing together just before serving.

Great for holidays! Everyone requests this recipe from me!

Pumpkin-Honey Beer Quick Bread

1 gallon Apple Cider or Apple Juice, pasturized 1/2 brown sugar 1/2 t cinnamon

Steep at least 30 minutes.

Pumpkin Chili

Submitted by Echo Day This is my grandmother's recipe. She makes these almost every Christmas.

By Echo Day This is a WONDERFUL pumpkin bread recipe that is moist and delicious. It's a little time-consuming too, but WELL worth it! I serve it with homemade honey butter, which is a great addition. Another secret? With just 6 grams of fat and 194 calories per slice, this bread fits well into any diet plan (okay, except for ALL of the sugar)!

tomatoes with juice 1/2 cup pumpkin pie filling 1 Tbsp. pumpkin pie spice 2 Tbsp. chili powder 1/4 cup of white sugar In a large pot over medium heat, cook beef until brown; drain. Stir in onion and bell pepper, cook for five minutes.

Stir in beans, tomato juice, diced tomatoes and pumpkin pie filling. Season with pumpkin pie spice, chili powder and sugar. Simmer in dutch oven all day.

1/4 t. white pepper 1/2 t. ground cumin Stovetop directions: Brown turkey and onions in skillet. Meanwhile, in a stockpot, combine stock, vegetables, salt, pepper and bay leaves and bring to a boil; add turkey and onions mixture (once browned), bay leaves and barley. Simmer covered for 30-35 minutes on low-medium heat.

Slow cooker directions: Brown turkey and onions in skillet. In a slow cooker, combine stock, vegetables, spices and turkey and onions mixture. Cook 7-8 hours on low. Add barley 30-45 minutes before serving.

Ingredients 14.6 oz all-purpose flour (about 3 1/4 cups) 2 tsp salt 2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice 1/2 c water 1/3 c ground flaxseed 2 1/2 c granulated sugar 2/3 c canola oil 2/3 c honey beer (at room temperature), such as Michelob Honey Lager 1/2 c egg substitute 2 lg eggs 1 1/4 can(s) pumpkin (15-oz cans) cooking spray Directions 1. Preheat oven to 350°.

2. Weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, salt, and next 4 ingredients (through pumpkin pie spice) in a medium bowl; stir with a whisk.

3. Combine 1/2 cup water and flaxseed.

4. Place sugar and next 4 ingredients (through eggs) in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium-high speed until well blended. Add flaxseed mixture and pumpkin; beat at low speed just until blended. Add flour mixture; beat just until combined. Divide batter between 2 (9 x 5–inch) loaf pans (or put in bundt pan) coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack; remove from pans. Cool completely on wire rack.

Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare.They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes.This is not coincidence.
