County commission appointments made Open house for new DSCC building set for Sept. 30
By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com The Tipton County Legislature took care of some housekeeping matters during a brief meeting Monday night. As they always do, the commissioners named County Executive Jeff Huffman to be the commission's chairman. Commissioner Harold “Poochie” Twisdale made a motion to name Huffman to the post by acclamation. Commissioner Bob Wilson
was once again voted in as chairman pro tem. Quincy Barlow, Mike Sterling, Tommy Dunavant and Johnnie Jones were named to serve on the rules committee. Russell Bailey was appointed to continue serving as Tipton County's historian. Huffman welcomed Carl Knight to his first meeting as a commissioner. He replaces Teri Colin, who resigned earlier this year. In other matters: • Huffman announced there
will be an open house for the 54,000-square-foot, $9.8 million learning center at Dyersburg State's Covington campus on Sept. 30 at 1:30 p.m. The new Tipton County Library, which is not complete yet, will be located in the building. The commission appropriated $3 million for the project. An open house for the library is expected to be held in October. • Matt McDaniel, who became the director of the health departments in Tipton, Haywood and Lauderdale
counties in July, introduced himself to the commissioners. • The commissioners passed a resolution designating September as Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. • Wilson said the general welfare committee has taken a proposal to build soccer fields on property adjacent to the landfill under advisement. The county commission meets at 7 p.m. on the second Monday of each month at Tipton County Justice Compex. The public is invited to attend.

Five-year-old continues fight against cancer By FRANCE GASQUET fgasquet@covingtonleader.com “One of my friends came home and told their mama that when my hair grows back, I’m gonna be like Rapunzel,” said the happy little girl, smiling a huge, yet shy smile. Lillie Mae Glass is five years old. The sprite-like child bounced through the door, welcoming the stranger in. She is thin and tiny, and like most children battling cancer, has no hair. But the thing you notice about her is an innocence and pure joy. Once inside the house, Lillie Mae gives a bracelet to the visitor, which says, “Pray for Lillie Mae.” The bracelet is orange and yellow, Lillie Mae’s colors. Lillie Mae’s mother, Jessica, speaks in a monotone voice, reciting dates, diagnosis and procedures by memory, her husband Brad sits on the couch across from her, listening to

On Sunday, Barlow Funeral Home will bury its longtime owner, Marjorie, who died Monday night. The 89-year-old, who spent her entire life in Covington, will be remembered as a strong woman who loved her family and her church. "I was going through some photos last night and found a photo of her on the steps next door," her son, Quincy, said Wednesday of the church next door to the family's funeral home. "She's been a member since she was seven years old." Mrs. Barlow was known as a philanthropist in the community, Covington alderman Minnie Barlow Bommer told The Leader during a 2005 interview. "She does so many things that nobody knows about … everybody knows Miss Marjorie, but she does so many things that nobody knows about." In 1968, her husband, V.B., died following a minor surgery and she was left with a business to run and two sons to raise. Quincy, who now operates the business with his daughter Brittney, said at the time of his father's death, his mother was styling hair and applying makeup at the funeral home, which was started by his great uncle Major Barlow. "Then it was just the three of us," he said. Majorie became a licensed funeral director in 1970 and ran the business up until a few years ago. At the time of her death, she was still licensed, Quincy said, for sentimental reasons. Though a single mother and an African-American business owner in the South during a time that was marred by racial tensions, Mrs. Barlow was able see barlow, page A3

Through this feature we hope to help you get to know your neighbors, government officials and others in the community. Today we feature Matt McDaniel, a Covington native and Mason resident who has been the director at the health departments in Tipton, Lauderdale and
Haywood counties since July. Q: As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up ? A: I can't say that I really thought about what I wanted to be when I grew up when I was really young. High school was when I really got going
with imagining what I wanted to do. My sophomore year I was sure I was going to be a professional lifeguard. My junior year, rock star, and my senior year I was positive that TV newscaster was going to be my vocation. That's the one I got the farthest with, as I went to competitions and even made it to the state forensic competition in broadcasting. It was pretty neat for a while. Q: What person had the biggest influence on you growing up and why? A:You know, I don't think that you can really name one person or group of people as a singular influence. It's more of a cumulative effect in my opinion, as you can learn from everyone, be it a positive or negative lesson. I've been fortunate to be in the orbit of many excellent people throughout my life, be it friends, family, colleagues, and coworkers, and each set of people have imparted some great life lessons. I like to meet new people everywhere I go, so I feel like every day can be a learning experience if you view it in the right way. Q: What do you like to do in your spare time? A: With four kids, the majority of my family's

spare time is spent herding cats, so to speak. We do enjoy getting out and about as a family though, be it eating out, catching a movie, going fun places like the splash park in Atoka, or just being together. My kids are really looking forward to Heritage Day, too! When my wife and I get to go out on our own, we like to eat sushi and hang around. Q: Tell us what your job entails and how you got involved in this profession. A: I am the administrator for three county health departments, meaning that I direct workflow, assemble the budget, determine the goals and priorities for the departments (with the help of my talented staff), along with acting as the laison between the health department and all stakeholders, including local government, other health organizations, community groups, and, of course, our community as a whole.I really sort of fell into public health. I was originally more on the

health and wellness side of the equation after college, working for the YMCA, various fitness centers, etc. In 2008 I was working as the manager of a corporate wellness facility, and the position was eliminated. After some searching, I found a position with the Shelby County Health Department working in their TENNderCARE program. I went from there to a position with the Tennessee Department of Health, West Tennessee Region, in public health emergency preparedness. I then went back to Shelby County, still working in emergency preparedness. I have now been fortunate enough to come back to working for the state, and I get to work in my hometown to boot! Q: What's the biggest misconception about health departments? A:That all we do are immunizations and inspections. While both are very important to the health of the our community, your local health department has a
wide range of programs and services housed within it. We have WIC, Family Planning, Health Promotion, Children's Special Services, the Helping Us Grow Successfully (HUGS) program, Nutrition Services, and the Baby & Me - Tobacco Free prenatal program, just to name a few. Our Health Promotion folks are participating in events across the county most days of the week, and we also offer Primary Care Services and Pediatric Dental Services for those who qualify. Our main goal at the Tipton County Health Department is to 'move the needle' towards healthier lives across Tipton County, and I think that every one of our programs helps to do this in one way or another. Our mission is to protect, promote and improve the health and prosperity of people in Tennessee, and I invite everyone reading to come by your health department and see this statement in action. - Jeff Ireland

‘Get Fit’ program begins By FRANCE GASQUET fgasquet@covingtonleader.com
Beginning today, Baptist-Tipton, in conjunction with Munford Parks and Recreation, will begin “Get Fit,” a 10week fitness and nutrition familyfriendly program that focuses on children ages seven to 13. This is the second year for the highlysuccessful program, which meets at the Munford Park and Recreation Center on Thursday nights from 6-7 p.m. and from 10 a.m. until noon on Saturdays. May Medical Group will perform a medical assessment at the beginning, midway, and end of the 10 weeks to track each participant’s progression. According to program coordinator Dana Flake, Thursday nights are classroom style, with lessons such as eating in moderation, healthy snacks and making treats. Parents work in the kitchen with UT Extension’s Jacqueline Lemons, learning how to cook and plan healthy meals. After the lesson is learned, everyone

Continued from A1 some of this new life, this new normal, because what has become normal to this family is not easy even for an outsider to process. It began late last fall with a stomach ache. Jessica took Lillie Mae to the doctor, but it was ruled as a bug. The next month, Jessica took Lille Mae to the doctor again, and again had a similar diagnosis. It wasn’t until December and more than a few false starts, that the pediatrician realized that this might be more than a stomach virus. Lillie Mae had Rhabdomysarcoma. A c c o r d i n g to the National Institute for Health, Rhabdomyosarcoma is a cancerous (malignant) tumor of the muscles that are attached to the bones. The cause of rhabdomyosarcoma is unknown. It is a rare tumor with only several hundred new cases per year in the United States. On Jan. 3, Lillie Mae started chemo, and soon, the tumor shrunk 87 percent. Everyone was hopeful and it looked like surgery might not be needed. However, the chemo started to hurt one of her vocal cords and it had to be stopped. On April 1, Lillie Mae had her first proton radiation, but later the chemo stopped working. By the end of May, the
samples the meal prepared for that night. “Parents find it’s not expensive to learn to eat clean, in moderation and healthy,” said Flake. The Saturday classes are the physical component of the program, and this year students will participate in crossfit, yoga, dance exercise and skating. Flake hopes more children become involved in the program. “These children are the future leaders of our community. If we don’t step up and guide them today, where will we all be tomorrow?” asked Flake. “When you have a child in second grade with high blood pressure, there’s a problem. We need parents, grandparents, whoever, to take an interest and step up for a child’s health. Their future and our community’s future depend on it.” The class is $20 per family, regardless of size, for the entire 10-week program. For more information contact Munford Parks and Recreation at 901837-5965 or visit the website at www. munford.com.
tumor was sticking out and Lillie Mae looked six or seven months pregnant. The tumor, which was attached to the bladder, was removed on June 17. It was the size of a football and weighed eight pounds. After the surgery, a new protocol was started and Lillie Mae was treated as highrisk. She was given a EKG and a heart monitor before starting the new protocol, which had six different types of chemo. Lillie Mae was given two chemos one week, two the next, and then would skip a week. Fast forward to now: On Aug. 25, Lillie Mae had a MRI, followed by a CT and a PET scan the next day and the family received bad news. She has a tumor behind her bladder and small lesions. She is on a 3-2-1 chemo treatment, in which the chemo is inserted into a heart monitor through an IV pump. The hope is that the tumors shrink in the next five weeks for surgery.
For a layperson, all of these treatments and dates are confusing, but here’s what you need to know: this has been a long and difficult fight for this precious family and this beautiful child. However, some good things have come from all of this, the family said. Kindness has a way of showing up in circumstances such as these. American Electric, the company Brad works for, is paying Brad 100 percent of his salary. Lillie Mae loves letters and stickers, and word has gotten out, so every day, she runs to meet the letter carrier and see what she has received. In two weeks, the family will go to Disney World. When asked what they need, Brad immediately said that the family is in need of nothing, that St. Jude is financially taking care of treatment. Jessica requested prayers and asked for Lillie Mae to receive more letters and stickers. Brad credits Child Life at St. Jude for Lillie Mae’s healthy attitude

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2014 ▪ A4 www.covingtonleader.com
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dealing with PWAs By no stretch do I claim to be a psychiatrist trained in human behaviors. My thing is analyzing mechanical malfunctions. But, as a casual “people-watcher” fast approaching mile marker 77 on life’s highway, please let me share an observation about attitudes. Courtesy is contagious. We’ve heard this saying many times: Courtesy knows no skin color, age nor gender. When an act of kindness is experienced, a “warm, fuzzy feeling” happens. A chain reaction of positive gestures of goodwill occur. A good attitude begets courtesy and courtesy nurtures and encourages a good attitude. The two work together. Conversely – by the same token – and on the other hand, a bad attitude is also contagious. It too knows no skin color, age, nor gender. Each of us, at times, will have a bad attitude. Hopefully, these times are few and temporary – and are exceptions, not the rule. It is interesting to witness the “collision” of the good and the bad attitude. Sadly, this attitudal exchange results in the contagious infection of hurt and anger. Very rarely is the disarming smile or gesture of kindness successful in elevating the negative exchange to a positive conclusion. Rather, these traits are seen as weaknesses and fail to bring about peace. There are those among us who prefer to burden themselves with a perpetual bad attitude. To them it is a lifestyle. For the sake of clarity, I will refer to these poor souls as “persons with an attitude,” or PWA. A PWA is recognized as such as early as elementary school age with displays of rudeness and anti-social behavior. It is further transmitted to the high school level as crude insubordination and bullying. Further clarity requires us to be aware of the fact there are two levels of bad attitudes. We experience PWAs while shopping at Walmart or Kroger or while conducting legal matters at the courthouse. A PWA is someone who almost collides his car while rudely taking the parking spot you were easing into. The shopper who broke into the line at the checkout is a PWA. The government worker who ignores you while she guffaws with her fellow employees is a PWA. These three examples describe what I believe are level one PWAs and are manageable. You can either respond to this behavior or not. A level two PWA, however, is a bully looking for a fight. Armed with an undeserved sense of entitlement, a total disregard for the feelings of others, defiance of societal standards and the rule of law he seeks confrontation. He is a danger to himself and others. A level two PWA seems to be a product of his environment. Most are born into a fatherless home. The bitter, aggressive attitude is nurtured and developed – even encouraged – without the proper authority figure in his life. Mom just cannot do it all! A level two PWA will likely lose his life to another level two PWA or to a police officer who has been trained and has sworn to defend himself and to protect others. What is the answer to this growing violence and uncivil disobedience? How do we adjust attitudes and return to that “warm, fuzzy” feeling of common courtesy? I suggest we look inwardly as individuals and acknowledge the grace of God. We awaken each day with a choice. We can accept God’s gift of another day along with a good attitude and with a sense of ownership of that attitude. We should promise ourselves we will not allow anything or anyone to rob us of this daily gift. We must be positive role models and teach children – especially those in our home – the attributes of humility and mutual respect. With this we can at least begin a trend toward more civility and agape love. Bill Wallace Covington

The week’s headlines ...
1994 Church damage results in five arrests: Officials said major destruction was done to the cemetery tombstones at the old Trinity in the Fields Church last Thursday. Many of the old stones were damaged beyond repair. The church was built in 1847 and is the oldest church structure in Tipton County. Officers have arrested and charged five juveniles.
2004 Proposal draws ire: Residents living near the site of a proposed assisted living facility don’t want it in their area. The proposal is to rezone 9.82 acres of land at 2954 Brighton-Clopton Rd. from R-1 to R-2. The request is from Professional Counseling Services of Covington and the purpose would be an assisted living facility.
1999 Lifting of beer permit to be discussed: The beer permit of a local grocery store may be taken away for selling beer to a minor who was later involved in an accident that killed two teenagers. The incident occurred on Dec. 31,1998. Beer was purchased from Lewis’ grocery and later that night the two teenagers were killed in an accident.
2009 Teacher fatally shot by daughter: The students and staff at Munford High School are mourning the loss of a well-respected history teacher after he was shot. Authorities said the preliminary investigation indicated Doug Van Neste was sleeping in the den when he was shot by his 15-year-old daughter. Specifics were still under investigation.

To help prepare for these costs, you may want to consult with a professional financial advisor, who can suggest appropriate solutions. • Untimely death – Your absence could jeopardize your family’s financial security, particularly if you passed away while your children were still at home. To help ensure that your family could remain in the home and that your children could go to college, if they choose, make sure you have adequate life insurance. Your passage through life will be filled with twists and turns, and you can’t always see what lies ahead. But you can ease your journey by preparing yourself for the unexpected.

PLANNING
Steps involved with estate planning
A
lthough inevitable, death is an emotional subject that’s difficult to discuss. While estate planning can make people uncomfortable, it is an essential part of securing assets for future generations and can make a death in the family easier for loved ones to handle. Estate planning is an umbrella term that refers to a host of things that must be done prior to a person’s death, including writing a will and even making funeral arrangements. Estate planning attempts to eliminate financial uncertainties and maximize the value of an estate, and allows men and women to state their wishes with regard to long-term healthcare and guardianship for their children. When done right, estate planning can prevent family feuds and ensure that the deceased’s estate stays in the hands of family rather than being relegated to the government. Estate planning can be a complex process, so men and women should seek help to ensure the process goes smoothly. Getting started Estate planning should
begin early in a person’s life, especially for young parents. It’s easy to talk about saving for a home or retirement, but it’s not so simple to discuss who will care for your children should you die while they are still minors. Those who are not able to sort through these answers on their own should enlist the help of an attorney or a financial adviser, both of whom can take some of the emotion out of the discussion and put it in more practical terms. The will A will is an important component of estate planning. Without clearly and legally spelling out your wishes, there is no guarantee that those wishes will be honored. It will be up to a state or province to make potentially life-altering decisions that can impact your surviving family members, and the only way to ensure your wishes will be carried out is to put them into a will. Although men and women can write their own wills, many people prefer to seek the assistance of an attorney, who can make sure all neces-

sary details are included in the will. Medical directives In addition to a will, estate planning includes your wishes if you become incapacitated or suffer from a serious medical condition that precludes you from making decisions about your care and finances. Spouses can be named to make important health decisions, but you may want to indicate other information, such as life support measures or organ donation, as well. If you have strong opinions on treatment, medical directives and living wills are a necessity. Funeral arrangements Another aspect of estate planning concerns funeral arrangements. Many people prefer to make their own funeral and burial plans so that these heart-wrenching decisions do not fall on
the shoulders of grieving family members. Funeral planning may include choosing a burial plot, selecting a casket, indicating cremation, and paying for everything in advance so there is no financial burden on surviving family members. According to the funeral planning website Efuneral.com, the average cost of a funeral in the United States in 2012 was more than $8,500 for a burial service and $3,700 for a cremation. That’s a considerable expense that you may not want surviving family members to pay. Estate planning is a process that is difficult to discuss, but one that is essential to maximize your assets and ensure your end-of-life wishes are honored.

Loss of a giant, Truett Cathey
“A Good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold.” Proverbs 22:1
The world is worse for the recent loss of Truett Cathy. If you are like me, Chic-fil-A and its founder Truett Cathy are more than just a fast food restaurant or a great sandwich. He showed that a principled man could be blessed in business while being a blessing to others. When protested against, they offer free drinks to protesters. They give their employees a day of rest. They are different because Truett was different. Some of his wellknown quotes gave some insight to his thinking: “Nearly every moment of every day we have the opportunity to give something to some-

one else – our time, our love, our resources. I have always found more joy in giving when I did not expect anything in return.” “I’d like to be remembered as one who kept my priorities in the right order. We live in a changing world, but we need to be reminded that the important things have not changed, and the important things will
not change if we keep our priorities in proper order.” And what is said about him may say even more: “What impresses me most about Truett Cathy is that he has had the courage to follow his beliefs even though he’s pressured by the world to do otherwise. Even though the business world said it didn’t make sense to take Sundays off, Truett insisted on a day of rest.” -Larry Julian Author, “God Is My CEO.” “I hope that people will learn from Truett Cathy the virtues that have brought him remarkable success in life. He has dedicated himself to service in the broadest sense, following Christian principles, not only in his personal life, but in his relations with his customers and employees.” Jimmy
Carter, Former President of the United States. The company reflects his generosity as well. Each year, $1.6 million is provided to help Chickfil-A Team Members attend the colleges of their choice. Over the life of the program, Chick-fil-A has donated more than $30 million towards this purpose; helping more than 30,000 Team Members attend more than 500 different colleges and universities. May your memory be a blessing. Godspeed. Character still matters, y’all. Mr. Peel seeks justice for those injured in car accidents, work place incidents, medical malpractice, and nursing homes.

was alive. Those who met him on the road at once addressed him with the joyful news that his son was fully recovered and alive and well. He received the news that he had already heard and believed from Jesus, but I can imagine the pleasure he received to have the words of Jesus confirmed. Notice that the nobleman did not falter about the healing of his son, nor was he surprised; but he did ask his slaves the hour his son “began to get better”, thinking that his recovery might be gradual. But his slaves said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him“. The slaves responded so the nobleman understood that his son became well entirely at once, immediately. So the father knew; he had the complete proof that his son was healed supernaturally, and that his cure came through Jesus. This miracle removed all his doubts, and he became a real disciple and friend of Jesus. His whole family became believers that Jesus was the Messiah. The illness of the child became the means to which the whole household believed. We should understand that this is the second miracle that Jesus did in that place, Cana of Galilee. John 2:23 tells us, “Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did“. John 2:11 tells us, “This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him”. There should be no confusion nor contradiction; the first miracle of Jesus was in Cana, and this scripture covers a “second” miracle in Cana. I pray that we understand this type of belief, literally, the absolute transfer of trust from yourself to another, that other is Jesus, the Son of God. We talk about believing, but do we have the faith and belief that this father had for his son?

holding Caregivers event Sept. 20 UT diabetes class
The Mason Caregivers - Shalom Community is sponsoring a unity festival on Sept. 20 from 1 - 6 p.m. in downtown Mason. According to Mason Caregiver member Regina Wilkes, this event is a way to renew Mason community life; a remembrance of Mason trade days and Jubilee festivals of the past. Comprised of community and business members, local churches and local pastors, the group was formed in 2010 by former Spirit of Truth pastor Rev. Billy Jackson and Spirit of Truth member Ms. Renea McBride. Wilkes says the group is a faith-inspired, spirit-led change movement, which strives to bring together those who live, work and worship in Mason. By building relationships, social networks and fostering the wellbeing of Mason neighbors, the group seeks to bring together congregations and communities in order to
rebuild and renew community life. Additionally, the Mason Caregivers hope to eventually build a community service center to serve the Masonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs. The Mason Caregivers opened a community food pantry in 2013 at the Spirit of Truth Church. The pantry is open the fourth Saturday of each month from 9-11 a.m. All residents are encouraged to come by, please bring proof of identity and household income. The Mason Caregivers are always looking for volunteers to help plan and work events, said Wilkes. Mason Caregivers Shalom team meetings are held every third Sunday at 6 p.m. at the Spirit of Truth Church located at 341 Front Street in Mason. If you have suggestions, questions or would like to volunteer, please contact the Mason Caregivers - Shalom Community, coordinator Rev. Billy Jackson at 901-4825902 or attend a meeting.

Mt. Carmel-Clopton Elaine Watkins Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a partly cloudy Sunday afternoon, after church, and we are full of the chicken we just ate with Clint and Courtney. We got 1.82â&#x20AC;? of rain yesterday, following the 2.32â&#x20AC;? we received Tuesday night! Which leads me to: This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm report: We surely wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be shelling corn for a few more days now, with all the rain. And some parts of the county, mainly where Clint lives, west of town, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crazy weather! Soybeans are starting to turn yellow in some fields, the cotton is opening and a lot of corn was shelled last week, just not by us. The combine is ready to go, though! I went to Wayne Conley last week and during a routine cleaning by Penny, found out I have a cracked filling. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always something! James is wearing a â&#x20AC;&#x153;tin canâ&#x20AC;? until his new crown comes in. I suppose this is dentist month! I am still picking up limbs falling out of our old oak trees â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one fell yesterday while we were sitting on the front porch watching the rain. These limbs are from last winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ice and snow and we are in an area on the weather map for an even worse winter this season. Yikes! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad we have two gas heaters! Jack and Karen Weir, the brother and sister-in-law my of my dad, Kenneth â&#x20AC;&#x153;Popâ&#x20AC;? Weir, came from Chattanooga
last week and on Thursday, they, along with Jimmy and Shirley Weir and I, went to see Pop in Jackson. Pop hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been talking the last two times I visited, but when Jack asked him who he was, Pop said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re my brother, Jack!â&#x20AC;? He just whispered it so I know he can talk, they just need to get him to! Pop also told us he was glad we came to visit, and a good visit it was! Just three of us made it to ladies dinner and movie night last Friday, but Delores Whaley, Deborah Cates and I saw â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Identical,â&#x20AC;? based I think on the fact that Elvis had a twin that was stillborn. Well, the actor in the movie looked, sounded and sang like Elvis - amazing - I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where they found him! And in the movie, both boys live but are reared by different families. The movie is rated PG - no ugly talk - go see it! Please keep Jenni Langstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister and brother-in-law, Mary-Nancy and Cody Smith, in your prayers. Friday morning, their house burned to the ground. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get out with anything but what they had on; and an eight-yearold nephew was there and had smoke inhalation and also suffered burns. I have them in my prayers. Also on our list at church are Mike Rogers, who couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t preach this week
for being sick, Donna Sonwineski, Robby Rogers, Lesa Hall, David Higgins, Jewell Stephenson, Carol Nance, Larry Whaley II, Steve Parker, Otis Griffin and so many more taking treatments and losing loved ones, and all servicemen and women. John Evans lost his cousin last week and his wife, Cammy lost hers this week. Their families are in my prayers also. Congratulations to Ron and Gale Sutton on the birth of a grandson, James Wyatt Sutton, born Aug. 20. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got male! Sept. 12-14 is rush at Freed-Hardeman University. The ladies retreat at Camp Meribah in Centerville is the 2628th. Family day will be Oct. 5. Happy birthday to Adisyn Whaley, Christian Halford and Cameron Rimmer on Sept. 8, Andy Whaley on the 9th, Mallorie Randolph on the 10, Shirley Laxton and Kristie Maxwell on the 12th and Bonnie Glass on the 13th! Happy anniversary to David and Sherri Kidd on Aug. 12th and Matt and Kristin Sallee on the 13th!

Another reminder that the family life building and stained glass windows will be dedicated

Individuals, businesses, schools, non-profit groups, churches and more can pay a registration fee for $20 at the chamber of commerce and pick up your package anytime before the end of September.

Chargers fall to North Side By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com
By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com It's no secret that senior Logan Stewart is Tipton-Rosemark's most dynamic player. Fayette Academy, TRA's opponent Friday night in the league opener for both teams, was surely aware of that, but the Vikings couldn't seem to do anything about it. Stewart scored three touchdowns on a run, a reception and an interception in the first quarter as the Rebels rolled visiting Fayette Academy 37-22. “Logan, obviously, has been a key player for us,” said TRA coach Dodd Gengenbach, whose Rebels are now 3-0. “He's always in the right place at the right time. He helped set the tone in all phases of the game.” Rebel quarterback A.J. Hightower left the game with an injury for a few plays in the first quarter. So Stewart moved from wideout to quarterback and scored on a one-yard sneak with 6:31 left in the first quarter to put TRA ahead 7-0. His 52-yard return on the opening kick off to the Fayette Academy 40 got that drive going. One play after Dillon Barrom recovered his second fumble of the first quar-
son and shown the ability to break big plays. “If we get into a track meet with them, we will be beaten soundly,” Kirby said. “We've talked to our kids about being 4-0. That's the goal. They've got a really good football team, but I feel like we do to.” Speaking of contrasting styles, that will also be the case when Covington visits Brighton tomorrow night. Covington likes to grind it out, while Brighton prefers to do most of its damage via the pass. Brighton has won six of the last seven in this series and has to be considered the favorite in this one, but Brighton head coach Robin Jacobs knows his team will be in for a battle. “It's real important to us,” Jacobs said. “We know they're going to have their best game against us. From that standpoint, we've got to be the best we can be.” Covington is coming off a loss at Jackson North Side. Brighton was off last week. “Right now it's probably more important because we haven't won a

ter at the Fayette 20, Hightower hit a streaking Stewart on the hashmark for a touchdown and a 14-0 lead. With 41 seconds still left in the quarter, Stewart intercepted a Spencer Hayden pass and took it 40 yards for his third score in less than 12 minutes. Stewart scored again in the second quarter on a 24-yard pass from Hightower (8 for 16 passing, 120 yards) to make the score 28-7. Fayette Academy (0-3) scored twice in the fourth quarter to make the score
look respectable, but the game was never really in doubt. “With that being a district game, we had to have the win,” Gengenbach said. “That's a big win for us trying to get back to the playoffs.” Shane O'Brien scored TRA's fifth touchdown early in the fourth quarter on a five-yard run. Ethan Kaiser led TRA's rushing attack with 83 yards on 14 carries. Stewart caught three passes for 58 yards.
CHS cross country making progress
Last Friday night at Jackson North Side the Chargers got a dose of what they have been used to dishing out for the past several years: a physical beating at the hands of the Indians in a 28-7 loss. Covington (1-2 overall, 0-1 District 15-AA) was burned by three big passing plays in the first half, but otherwise held their own on the defensive side of the ball. The offense, again, was another story. “It’s still a day at a time, a process with this team,” Covington head coach Marty Wheeler said. “We are inconsistent on offense. Some good things are happening but we still make too many mistakes. Our youth and inexperience work against us. However, neither coaches nor kids are complaining. All are working hard for the same goal: to get better each week.” A 42-yard pass on third and three and a 25-yard over the top completion by Indian quarterback Tyalen Shaw (16 of 34, 216 yards and two touchdowns) set up an 18-yard TD run by Anthoney Jones at with 41 seconds left in the first period.

By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com Covington High School cross country coach Sharman Coley has a lot to be happy about these days. She has a solid core of runners returning from last season and a talented group of newcomers who are having success early. “We have reached a point in the program where we are beginning to sustain a good number of good runners in each class,” said Coley. “We are really excited by our freshmen and how they are contributing.” The team turned in another positive performance at Crockett County on Sept. 2, finishing fourth among 28 teams. Alexis Johnson (27:28) placed 40th and Temira Tuck (31:40) 97th in the girls division. Jon Wes Walker (18:01) was 3rd overall. Sam Wauford 20:42) came in 31st. Other boys runners were Jaylen Jones (21:43-57th), Mycal Bandy 21:51-59th), A.J. Wellintin (21:52-60th), Zac Bandy (24:52-97th), Coltin Clay (25-18-119th), Nick Kellum (25:30-121st) and Alex Mason (27:03-147th). CHS runs again Sept. 16 in the West Tennessee Fall Classic at Union University. In other CHS sports news: The first blemish on the Lady Charger soccer record came on Sept. 2 as CHS played Jackson South Side to a 3-3 tie. There is no overtime in regular season high school soccer. Down 3-0 at the half, Covington came roaring back on the strength of another hat trick (three goals in a game) from Iesha Tipton. “South Side played with more energy than we did in the first half,” Covington coach Robert Luttrell said. "Teams know we are unbeaten and the longer we let a team hang around, the more confidence they gain that they have a shot to beat us.” The Chargers got in one game in the North Side SEE CHS, PAGE A16
Cougars take care of MLK Prep By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com With some big games coming up the next few weeks, Munford could have overlooked MLK Prep Friday night at home. It didn't happen. The Cougars scored three touchdowns in the second quarter and cruised to a 35-0 win over MLK Prep (formerly Frayser High School) in front of a large crowd. “I thought we executed the game plan about as well as we could,” said Munford head coach J.R. Kirby, whose team is 3-0 for the first time in well over a decade. “We were a lot better than them. We knew that coming in. Defensively, we just kept doing what we do. We pretty much dominated them.” The Cougars all but put the game out of reach when David Simon, thanks to some miscues by the Rams, scored twice on runs of five and one yard in the final minute of the second half to push
the lead to 28-0. On Munford's first possession of the second half, Andre Thomas broke a 63-yard touchdown run for the final score of the game. The clock kept running via the slaughter rule at that point and Kirby pulled his starters. “Our talent was just a lot better than theirs, but their kids played hard,” Kirby said. “I give them credit for that. There was no reason to score 50 or 60 points on them.” Jacob Ross hit Xavier Throckmorton on a 31-yard touchdown pass seven minutes into the game to put the Cougars ahead 7-0. Midway through the second quarter Thomas punctuated an 84-yard drive with a 26-yard TD run that pushed the lead to 14-0. Kirby was fully aware Friday nights' opponent was overmatched, but said he was proud his team took care of business heading into games against Millington tomorrow and the district opener against Dyer County on Sept. 18. “Overall,” he said, “we're excited to be 3-0.”

Continued from A15 shoot-out last Friday night with an 8-2 runaway over Obion County. Two Saturday matches and the rest of the tournament were cancelled on Saturday due to inclement weather. In her strongest performance of the season, Tipton nearly had a double hat trick, scoring five goals in the first half, connecting on five of seven shots on goal. Chelsea Dye added two goals and Kiera Booker one in the second half.
RIVALRY Trinity Christian Academy of Jackson came calling on Monday and handed the Lady Chargers their first loss of the season, 6-5, in a rough and tumble game. TCA jumped out on top 2-0 with goals, but Covington came roaring back on goals from Tipton (18:08, 11:35, 3:39) and Chelsea Dye (12:58) to take a 4-3 lead into the half-time break. TCA stiffened its defense in the second half, holding CHS scoreless until the last minute when
Anne Marie Van Cleve slammed a penalty kick in goal for the final score. The loss drops the Chargers to 4-1-1 (2-1 in District 15-AA). CHS travels to Jackson Christian, a 2013 state participant, for a district tilt today at 5:30. District play continues Sept. 16 with a home date with Haywood and a Sept. 18 match at home versus South Gibson.
Continued from A15 game in two weeks,” Jacobs said. “It's a win we need because it could springboard us into our district games. It's an awful long time to wait after you've lost a game.” Tipton-Rosemark, which travels to First Assembly Christian School in a nonleague game tomorrow, hasn't lost a game since last season.
Last year, FACS handed TRA its first loss of the season, 47-14. “We want to keep the momentum going,” TRA head coach Dodd Gengenbach said. “They're one of the strongest teams in our division. This will be a good test to see how we fare against a good team.”
CHARGERS
Continued from A15 yards and pushed the Indian lead to 14-0. Covington bounced back with a 72-yard, seven-play drive, that, aided by an Indian personal foul, produced a 14-yard TD run by Ty Boyd with 7:28 left in the half to slice the lead at the half to 14-7. It would be CHS’s only score of the
night. “We had some opportunities in the second half,” Wheeler said. “But we just did not get it done. Our size and overall team strength are holding us back at this point.” North Side delivered a back-breaking blow just before halftime. A first and 10 at the CHS 22-yard line
disintegrated into a fourth and 18 at the 30, but the Indians wriggled out of it on Shaw’s second TD pass of the night. Both teams played passable defense in the second half with the final score coming with 50 seconds left. CHS had given the ball over on downs at their 21 with two minutes remaining. North Side made the deci-
sion to score rather than taking a knee with the game in hand. For the game, CHS totaled 172 yards, all on the ground. Kelvin Stowers rushed seven times for 76 yards, K.J. Hines 16 for 32 and Boyd two for 18.

CORRESPONDENCE
Tipton County and the Civil War By RUSSELL BAILEY Tipton County Historian
Chickamauga Station to Graysville, Ga. Nov. 26, 1863 Continued The men of Gen. O. F. Strahl’s brigade (including Covington’s Tipton Rifles) received orders to destroy the bridge; this brigade would form Gen. A. P. Stewart’s division’s rear guard. At 2 a.m. on Nov. 26, 1863, the bridge was destroyed while a detachment was sent to guard the ford a mile to the south. A Federal force appeared across the Chickamauga opposite Strahl’s troops but did not initiate an engagement. It was 10 a.m. when Corps Gen. John Breckinridge ordered Strahl to withdraw his brigade to Chickamauga Station. Arriving at the station, Strahl’s Tennesseans found
the men of Gen. Joseph Lewis’ First Kentucky orphan brigade and some Kentucky cavalry engaged in burning the buildings and remaining commissary stores. The wagons and nearly all of Bragg’s army had been put in motion in toward Ringgold at 2 a.m. Generals’ Braxton Bragg and William J. Hardee had left at daylight. A soldier in the 19th Tennessee, Strahl’s brigade, wrote of their departure from the station: “The enemy occupied a ridge near by, from which they kept up constant shelling all the time we were in the station, making it lively for us…We passed out east of the station and across the ridge when we turned southward in the direction of Ringgold, Ga…” Strahl’s brigade exited the station eastward along the Bird’s Mill-Concord Church Road. Tipton’s other contingent at the station, men in the
6th and 9th Tennessee infantry, Maney’s brigade, took the same route behind the brigades of States Rights Gist, Ferguson’s and Bledsoe’s batteries, and the Georgia brigade commanded by Col. J. C. Nisbet. By 11 a.m., the Kentucky orphan brigade, under Gen. Joseph Lewis, and some cavalry from the “Bluegrass State” (probably the 1st or 9th Kentucky) were the last Confederate force at the station. Just as the last of the wagons were leaving the station en route for Ringgold, Ga., Union troops appeared. Union soldiers of Gen. U. S. Grant did not relax on Nov. 26, 1863. (This day was the first national Thanksgiving Day, proclaimed by President Abraham Lincoln in the aftermath of the carnage at Gettysburg and Vicksburg and the Union loss at Chickamauga.) Early that morning, Grant ordered two columns of soldiers to
pursue and cut off the retreat of Bragg’s retreating Confederates. Troops led by Gen. Joseph Hooker were marching east from Rossville Gap. His goal was to cut the Western and Atlantic Railroad near Graysville, Ga., hoping to attack the head or middle of the column of the retreating Rebels. From the north, Gen. W. T. Sherman’s command led out from Missionary Ridge. Sherman’s troops, Jefferson C. Davis’ division, made first contact with the Confederates at Chickamauga Station. By that time, flames were issuing from the public buildings and depot. Brig. Gen. James D. Morgan’s 1st brigade, 2d division, 14th army corps, deployed his men in line of battle. Yankee artillery fired on Joseph Lewis’ Confederate Kentucky brigade occupying defensive works. Rebel cannon returned fire. The 21st Kentucky Union
infantry advanced as skirmishers, followed by the rest of the brigade. Gen. Davis described the minor battle as a “very gallant little fight.” The Confederate Kentuckians gradually gave ground, retiring in good order southeast along the Graysville-Ringgold Road. Sherman reported: “The (Chickamauga) depot presented a scene of desolation that war alone exhibits. Corn meal and corn in huge burning piles, broken wagons, abandoned caissons, two 32-pounder rifled guns with carriages, burned pieces of pontoons,…etc. and all manner of things burning and broken. Still the enemy kindly left us a good supply of forage for our horses; meal, beans etc. for our men…” Continued next week

Almyra Libby Click Hi everyone. Hope your week has been a good one. As this past weekend was Grandparents Day, mine was especially good. Having 10 grandchildren has really blessed my life (although sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little expensive). Actually, every day of being on earth with love in your heart and a smile on your face is a blessed day. But, for Christians, Heaven will be a much happier place than we can even imagine as humans. This coming weekend, the 13th, is my son, Michael (Mike) Ray Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday; he will turn 47 years young. Happy birthday, son, I love you! But heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been gray-headed almost as long as me, ha ha! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard gray is a sign of wisdom. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to think that one over a while. The 13th is also Native American Day. That also is a special recognition for my family, as my father, Mr. Floyd Houlihan, was a quarter Cherokee and my mom was part Choctaw. The Trail of Tears will always be history
for many American Indian families. In Almyra, Mr. Jim Murphyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s store, Country Creations is shaping up nicely. He and his wife are so creative. It should not be much longer now before a grand opening. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep you posted. If there is any information residents of Almyra wish to have published, you may leave a message at 476-1718. I would love to hear from you. My neighbors, the McDaniels, are completely redoing the Click home place. I love it and I know Charlie would too. Salem Presbyterian Worship is at 11 a.m. Charles Todd is the minister. The young marrieds will meet next Sunday, Sept.14, at 6 p.m. at the home of Alan and Dianne Patton. Please bring finger foods. Memorials to the cemetery are in memory of Zelma Moffatt. Memorials to the mission fund are in memory of Zelma Moffatt. College addresses for 2014-2015 can be found in this past
Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bulletin. If you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get one, you may ask to receive one through the mail.

Food bank for Tipton County Area- they prefer a monetary donation vs. canned goods. The jars in the classrooms and the sanctuary are for any donations you would like to offer. Johnathan Sayre, Alexander Sayre and Jasmine Crabb all wish to thank you for the wonderful opportunity to go to church camp.
