Burk wins, incumbents keep seats Municipal election campaigns begin

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com Munford native Bo Burk was the victor in what was likely the most closely watched race of the 2014 state and general election.

The youngest candidate, a former assistant district attorney general, defeated his opponents with 13,667 votes to Fayette County's Shana Johnson's 10,332 and Munford's Lyle Jones's 6,047 from the 25th judicial district.

Burk will begin representing the district – which encompasses Tipton, Lauderdale, Hardeman, Fayette and

McNairy counties – on Sept. 1.

In addition to the office of public defender, locally there was opposition for State Rep. Debra Moody in Rory Bricco, who's run for the seat four times; District Attorney General Mike Dunavant in challenger D.J. Norton from McNairy County; Tipton County General Sessions Judge Bill Peeler in attorney Stacey Longo Graham; Tipton County Executive Jeff Huffman in 26-year-old Bobby Clemons Jr. of Atoka; county commissioners Quincy Barlow and Rusty Wooten in District 1 from City of Covington employee Olean Anderson; county commissioners Steve Bringle and Jeff Mason from District 3 in James Kevin Roark; and constables Bert Combs (District 3) and Mike Osborn (District 4) in Gerry McLillie and G.A. Gibson.

No incumbent, except Bert Combs, was unseated after Thursday's election.

Moody won the primary and, without democratic opposition in November, will keep her seat in Nashville.

Though he lost McNairy County by 857 votes, Dunavant won his bid for reelection with 20,941 votes to Norton's 10,748.

Dunavant said he was humbled by the support he received during his campaign.

"We ran a good, clean, and positive race that focused on our accomplishments in the last eight years, and our challenges and goals for the next eight years," he said. "I am honored to serve, and I am humbled by the overwhelming support that we received."

Peeler defeated Longo Graham 5,493 votes to 2,385.

Library to close Covington branch, reopen at DSCC

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com In case visitors to the Tipton County Public Library in Covington haven't heard yet, Snoopy is letting everybody know.

There's a poster on the front door with everybody's favorite beagle hauling his doghouse in a wheelbarrow. The caption reads, “We're moving.”

When the doors close on Aug. 23 at 3 p.m., they won't open again at 300 West Church Ave., the library's location since 1964.

The new 54,000-square-foot, $9.8 million learning center on Dyersburg State Community College's Covington campus is just about ready, and the library will take over about 10,000 square feet of that space on Sept. 15.

Susan Cheairs, right, Tipton County Public Library director, and assistant director Sharon Timbs pack some books Tuesday afternoon. The library is moving from its current location on West Church Avenue to the Dyersburg State Community College campus in Covington.

It's a serious upgrade over the current 5,500-square-foot location.

The offices occupied by library di-

rector Susan Cheairs and her staff are the size of small bathrooms. Tiles are falling off the ceiling.

The man who pleaded guilty to the 2010 shooting deaths of two Henning postal workers was sentenced to life in prison by a federal judge Tuesday.

Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Director Mark Gwyn said he hopes the sentence brings closure for the families of the victims, 59-year-old Judy Spray of Lauderdale County and 34-yearold Paula Croom MONTGOMERY Robinson of Covington.

"We sincerely hope today's sentencing brings some small sense of justice for the families and friends …" he said. "Though it will probably never fully bring closure, we are thankful the cooperation of law enforcement will ensure the man responsible will never go free."

Montgomery has been in police custody since Feb. 14, 2011, the day he and his son stole a vehicle in Nashville and led deputies from Haywood County on a pursuit that ended with 18-year-old Chastain Montgomery Jr. being shot to death by a deputy at the intersection of highways 59 and 70.

Montgomery Sr. was traveling in another vehicle. He was apprehended when he returned to the scene, telling police they'd killed his son.

From the scene, police recovered a Ruger 9mm pistol and the Smith & Wesson .40 caliber pistol used to kill Spray and Robinson; a .45 caliber SEE LIFE, PAGE A3

Baptist-Tipton is getting Tipton Countians fit

By FRANCE GASQUET fgasquet@covingtonleader.com Baptist Memorial Hospital-Tipton is busy with plans underway to get the community fit.

This past Saturday, Baptist -Tipton was the title sponsor for the 15th annual Celebrate Munford 5K run/walk held at Centennial Park in Munford.

Two hundred-twenty six participants crossed the finish line, with the overall winner, Ethan Faulkner, hailing from Munford, at 19:28. The fastest female was Krissa Rodgers with a time of 22:17.

Two additional familyfriendly events, which focusing on health and wellness, are in this fall’s line-up as well.

Beginning today, Aug. 14, Baptist-Tipton’s “Get Fit” begins. The 10-week fitness and nutrition family-friendly program is in conjunction with Munford Parks and Rec-

reation, and focuses on children ages seven to 13.

This is the second year for the nationally-recognized program, which meets at the Munford Parks and Recreation Center on Thursday nights from 6-7 p.m. and from 10 a.m. until noon on Saturdays.

Additional services for the program are provided by May Medical, UT Extension and ATC Fitness.

May Medical will perform a medical assessment at the beginning, midway, and end of the 10 weeks to track each participant’s progression.

UT Extension’s Jacqueline Lemons and Priscilla Eddins provide the lesson plans and teach families how to cook and plan healthy meals.

According to program coordinator Dana Flake, Thursday nights are classroom-style, with lessons such as eating

in moderation, healthy snacks and making treats.

The physical component of the program, such as cross-fit, yoga, dance exercise and skating will take place during the Saturday classes..

The class is $20 per family, regardless of size, for the entire 10-week program.

Camp Wellness will take place on Saturday, Aug. 23, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the south parking lot at Baptist Tipton, closest to The Leader.

Camp Wellness highlights include “Get Fit Antarctica,” a program where participants document walking the distance from Tipton County to Antarctica and then receive a postcard from Antarctica. Face painting, free hot dogs and games for the kids, as well as the touchdown of the Hospital Wing 10:30 a.m. are all activities planned.

The first 300 children to attend will receive a backpack at this all-ages

event.

“This is the first year that Baptist Tipton has held the back-to-school health fair,” said BaptistTipton CEO Samuel Lynd.

“Our goal is to increase community awareness of healthy lifestyle choices, which helps put children on the path to a life long relationship with wellness.”

Community education and demonstrations will be available as well, on numerous topics including immunizations, fitness programs, bullying, child abuse prevention, healthy snack ideas and cooking demonstrations.

Parking will be available at the hospital and at The Leader.

For more information on Camp Wellness, contact Cyndi Roberts at Cyndi.Roberts@BMHCC.org.

To register for Get Fit, contact Munford Parks and Recreation at 901837-5965 or visit the website at www.munford.com.

The old library has 15 computers, causing people to get on a waiting list to use them. The new facility will have 75 computers open to the public and free Wi-fi.

Cheairs has even come up with a slogan to go along with the move: “New location, new look, same service, same smile.”

“We treasure our current patrons and hope the state-of-the-art facility will attract even more citizens to try our services,” Cheairs said. “Needless to say, we will have more programs and expanded hours.”

The library will be open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Fridays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

With the library closed for three weeks, Cheairs is reminding her customers that if people check out material at the old location, it can be returned at the DSCC location.

Approximately 12,000 people have library cards for the current location, and they will be honored after the move.

Cheairs and her employees have been busy the last few weeks getting ready for the move. In addition to thousands of books, the library has about 4,000 DVDs, books on CDs and magazines. There are approximately 60,000 items to be moved.

“We've been busy,” Cheairs said. “The main thing is we want to make sure our patrons continue to come to the library after we move. We have a very special group of people. We consider them friends, not customers.”

Tipton County appropriated $3 million for the project, which took four years to complete.

County Executive Jeff Huffman said giving Internet access to more residents is crucial to improving the local economy.

"What we found was that when the economy got worse, the first thing people were cutting was their cable and internet access," Huffman said. "Yet, in order to apply for a job to get ahead, you had to have internet access and be able to use computers."

There will be an open house for the library on a date to be determined.

In the meantime, Cheairs is packing up and, with a little help from Snoopy, trying to publicize the move.

“When we open, we want to be able to provide the same service people expect,” Cheairs said. “We want to hit the ground running.”

Unilever-DSCC interns present findings

By FRANCE GASQUET fgasquet@covingtonleader.com

“Unilever is hugely into sustainable living,” said Larry D. Gibson, Unilever plant director. “From what you’ve learned here about recycling, if you could change one thing in people’s behavior, what would it be?”

Intern Derek Goforth replied, “Well, to pay more attention, don’t take things for granted. Like oil, we take it for granted. Everything plastic we use comes from oil. It’s like one day, you go to McDonald's to get a milkshake and at the very end, you hear your slurp. That’s going to be us with oil one day.

We’re going to be out. I’d say to be more conservative, try to find different ways to reuse, like a plastic water bottle. I used to use it and throw out. There’s nothing wrong with that water bottle, so why not reuse it? I mean, I just drank from it and I don’t think I’m getting any disease from myself.”

Last week, Goforth, along with three other recent high school graduates presented their joint Unilever-Dyersburg State Community College internship findings to a panel at Unilever. The interns, all graduates of Brighton High School, spent six weeks this summer at Unilever, applying their lessons while working on their advance integrated industrial technology associates degree at

the Covington plant could save up to $214,000 a year by focusing on recycling.

Jeremy Orman, who plans to attend the University of TennesseeKnoxville this fall, worked in the micro lab for quality assurance.

“I began there because in the past month, there were two incidents of product being put on hold, due to false positives in the lab,” said Orman. “The lab showed bacteria, but it was really a false positive due to contamination.

It was during an interview with detectives in Tipton County that Montgomery confessed he and his son were responsible for the deaths of Spray and Robinson on Oct. 18, 2010.

He told police he convinced his son to work with him to rob the Henning Post Office. Killing the clerks was never in the plan.

A written confession from Montgomery reads: “I jumped over the countertop and directed the black lady to open the cash register. After I saw there was no money, I lost my head and begin to shoot her numerous times, and my son shot the other lady two times.

“I didn’t go in there to kill her. I just was going through hard times and I lost my head when there wasn’t no money in there.”

Robinson, a Covington High graduate, left behind a husband and two young children.

Spray left behind a husband, two sons, four daughters, 11 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Only $63 was taken from the post office.

"The senseless and heinous murders of Paula Robinson and Judy Spray have left an irreplaceable void throughout the entire community," said U.S. Attorney Edward Stanton Tuesday.

Montgomery, a former prison guard, will now spend the rest of his life behind bars. In addition to the prison sentence, U.S. District Judge Jon McCalla ordered Montgomery to serve five years of supervised release plus restitution. There is no parole in the federal prison system.

GUEST OPINION

FLASHBACK

Honoring baseball pioneers

By JERRY WILSON Special to The Leader Twenty years is a long time but it’s still a true story.

I was 12 years old in 1950 and I was doing the only thing I really loved doing: playing baseball. I was on the first Little League team that Covington ever had. At that age I wasn’t thinking much about girls yet; I knew a few, but only because their brothers played baseball.

There were two teams from Covington and two from Ripley. We went back and forth all summer playing each other. Mrs. Roy Turner, who we called “Priss,” was one of the designated drivers that got us to the games. The team’s names for Covington were Redbirds and Rebels. I was a Redbird and we won it all in the tournament behind the pitching of Elliston “Bill” Hopkins, who later became the basketball coach at Munford for 18 years.

He’s back down there now, along with his brother Tom (aka Butch); I guess they just couldn’t get enough of it.

At that time, we were not considered organized Dixie Youth. That came the following year. I’ll never forget the men who put it in gear, like Jack Sanford and Otto Cherry. I skipped dinner and supper more times than I can remember just to play baseball. My mother didn’t like baseball, but my daddy loved it. He thought Stan Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals hung the moon. My daddy had a hearing problem and I’ve seen him stick his face right up in the radio to listen to the games. I’ve seen him get mad and want to tear up the radio when Stan the Man would pop up in a clutch situation. Everybody called him “Woody,” but most people didn’t know that he tried out for the Memphis Chicks in 1941, along with his brother “Pookie” and a man named Truman Brammer from Covington.

All three made the team but never played a game.

That was in 1941 with a war cranking up.

Uncle Pookie was fast, really fast, but he couldn’t outrun the draft. Woody hung up his glove when his brother read the notice. He said he would take it down from where it hung when Pookie came marching home. And that’s what he did, but it was too late for baseball. That’s when Tipton County invented fast pitch softball. He never once spoke of any of this to any of his three sons. I was told the story by my uncle when my daddy died in 1977.

All these years have passed and I’m still trying to figure out why he never told me. In 1951, my daddy took up the job of the Little League umpire.

He was good at it and fans loved him. He had more moves than Michael Jackson and everybody loved his style. He put a lot of enthusiasm into the game.

My daddy was a giver. He kept working in Little League for 20 years. When he died, he was still wearing the watch that they gave him for those 20 years of umpiring.

I remember that one year the fans collected about $200 and gave it to him. He took it and then made a donation of that amount to the baseball program.

I’m sure he could have used the money, but it wasn’t about his needs. It was about the kids. I’ve seen him limp home after games many times with red and blue spots put on his body by foul tips from Tucker Ashford’s bat.

I mention Tucker because he was the only youngster of that time who made it to the big show. Those foul tips and wild pitches came from the efforts of hundreds of boys that Tucker went on to represent.

I ran into Tucker about a year ago; he’s retired from professional baseball, but he still remembers the name of his Little League umpire.

By 1962, I had been out of the Air Force for a year so I decided to join the movement to revive fast pitch softball in Tipton County, something that might not have ever happened if it had not been for the efforts of a man like Embra Anderson. With my first steps on to the field, I looked up to recognize the home plate umpire. As I stepped into the batter’s box for my first bat, I heard him say to someone, or maybe it was to anyone, “He can’t hit.”

He was right. I had good hands as a fielder, but I couldn’t hit a rock past the pitcher’s mound.

Over the next 18 years, I corrected that problem, but Woody didn’t live to see me carrying a hot bat.

The year after he passed, I took on the job of putting together the first Woody Wilson Invitational fast pitch tournament. I brought in teams from Missouri and West Tennessee. We gave half the profit, $380, to Dixie Youth baseball. Somewhere during those years as an umpire, my daddy got smarter about those licks he was taking behind the plate.

His services were requested by the high school baseball coach, Don Chandler, a man who won more games than any coach that Covington ever had. He knew that if he went up on that hill where those licks came harder, he was going to need a different kind of protection. So he came up with a chest protector that covered the top half of his

2009 Mother turns son and friends into authorities: Teri Teate knew something wasn’t right when her son and his friends came to her home with a briefcase, diaper bag, a purse and later on a shotgun under his mattress. She then called the police to turn her son and his friends in for an apparent burglary.

1999 Aldermen vote to end operation of school system: The Covington Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted by a 4-2 margin to turn over the schooling of city students to the county system. The measure would not go into effect until the 2001-2002 school year and ended a months-long discussion.

2004 Accountant guilty of filing false claims: A Covington accountant, Barry Gray, will serve two years in prison for filing false claims against the United States. He was also ordered to pay $11,212 in restitution to the Internal Revenue Service and put on two years of probation.

1994 Saveley’s Texaco burns: A fire destroyed a Covington service station early Saturday morning. Saveley’s Texaco Service Station suffered approximately $200,000 in damages, according to owner Bob Saveley. Two pumpers, an emergency rescue unit and 22 firemen responded to the blaze.

Elvis rode to the station on his motorcycle and gave Dewey a new loaded diamond ring, which he proudly displayed. Later, Dewey had pawned it, but Elvis retrieved it, with the message, “Don’t do this anymore, I’ll not trace it down again.”

Mr. Wages, who co-owned the station, told me when Dewey quit two weeks later, and the ring was also gone.

body. It stood out wide because it had air inside.

Sometimes, a foul tip would hit that thing and bounce back for a base hit.

He never called another game that he didn’t wear it. And he never took it or his mask off when he was in an argument with a player about one of his calls.

Once, in a softball game, a certain batter whose name starts with David Easley was taking his cuts at the famous Richard Overall. We called him “Topp.” He threw a pitch that was called a riser. David swung at the first two, but they were way out of reach.

As I watched, I knew that Topp would give him the third one in the same place. David knew

it too so he didn’t swing.

Woody called him out on strikes. David got bent out of shape about the call and mouthed off that that one was no strike. Woody replied with, “Them two you swung at wasn’t either.” Then he walked away laughing in that certain style he had that was designed to make you look bad.

The stories of his career as an umpire are like legends. They will last forever, but what happened to the chest protector?

Somewhere along the way, Woody came across another giver, Paul Morton. Paul was a lot younger than Woody but he loved the game just a much. Once, in 1941 at a baseball game out at Hype Park Mills ball field, Paul stepped in to bat. Not once in Paul’s life had he ever swung at a

(Once you turn 70 ½, you will need to generally start taking withdrawals from a traditional IRA and a 401(k) or similar plan, but you don’t face this requirement with a Roth 401(k) account.)

As an alternative to delaying your retirement — or possibly as an additional step you can take along with a delay — you may be able to adjust your investment mix to provide you with the combination of growth and income that can help carry you through your retirement years. You can also be strategic about which investments you start taking withdrawals from, possibly allowing your portfolio to grow more than you had envisioned.

Start thinking now about ways you can help yourself achieve the retirement lifestyle you’ve pictured.

You may want to consult with a professional financial advisor who can suggest the strategies and techniques most appropriate for your situation. In any case, with some careful planning, you can be a boomer whose retirement plans don’t go bust.

first pitch, and he wasn’t about to this time. Woody behind the plate called it a strike. Paul pitched a fit.

Woody said, “I could have hit it.” So Paul handed him the bat and said, “Ok, you bat and I’ll umpire.” Woody said, “We won’t need an umpire because I’m going to hit the first pitch, but you can run the bases.”

The stage was set, but I need to mention that the outfield had no fences, only an old dye ditch that ran from the cotton mill.

Past that, there were three sharecropper houses.

Woody hit it all the way to the roof of the third one. Back in those days, the teams didn’t have a lot of baseballs, so it was retrieved.

argue with any of his calls. And he never did.

Paul gave me the baseball before he died. My granddaughter is keeping it for my two-year-old great grandson, Brennan Walker. I want him to have something to show what he comes from when he makes the cuts for the St. Louis Cardinals.

Paul and my daddy called a lot of doubleheaders together. One would call behind the plate and the other would call the bases. After the first game, they would switch places.

The new umpire became partial to daddy’s chest protector. Daddy told me to make sure that Paul got it when it was all over.

One night, I walked into a baseball park and handed the chest protector to Paul. He knew he had a piece of history in SEE BASEBALL, PAGE A6

with his parents; two sons, Charles Forbes and Donald Forbes; one brother, Billy Forbes; one sister Sarah Forbes; and one grandson, Kojis Barton.

He was born to the union of Claude Milton Forbes and Stella Howard Forbes on October 10, 1927 in Atoka. Being the firstborn of eight children he had to step up to the plate at a young age and assume some responsibilities of his younger siblings. He went to Byars Hall High School in Covington where he was a star athlete in football. He wore number 45 and that became his nickname. Before graduation, he enrolled in the Army and was stationed in Alaska. He later return to Byars Hall and earned his diploma.

Afterwards, he enrolled in Memphis State College, (now the University of Memphis), but soon learned that academia was not for him. He joined the United States Air Force and went to flight school, where he was awarded his wings. He soared. He flew the C-130 cargo plane in Vietnam, he was commander of a bomb squad and flew the B-52 bomber. He was also in an Air Refueling Squadron. Upon retirement, he earned the rank of lieutenant colonel.

Settling in El Paso, Texas, he started a real estate business with his second wife, Teresa Forbes. He was past president of the El Paso Lions Club and received the Melvin Jones Award. He often rented a private plane and flew back to West Tennessee where his heart was. He never forgot his roots and visited relatives in Tipton County when he was afforded the opportunity.

Those left behind to cherish his memory include one son, Steve Forbes (Debbie) of Oklahoma City, Okla.; daughter, Nancy Howell (Larry) of Alexandria, La.; grandchildren Kelly Barton (Winton), Sarah Howell and Stacey Callison; great grandchildren Rock and Monroe Barton, Hayden, Kiefer, Lillie and Grace Callison; siblings Gloria Jackson of LaDera Ranch, Calif., Pearl Haygood of Ridgeland, Miss., Lucille (Bobby) Clark of Suwanee, Ga., Charles (Anneliese) Forbes of Dallas, Texas, Paul Forbes of Hollywood, Calif.; a daughter-in-law Ande Forbes; and a sister-in-law, Marie Forbes of Cordova.; nieces and nephews, Betty Jo Shoup, Carolyn Bosanko, Bill Jackson, Teresa Haygood, Connie Clark, Steve Clark, Frank Forbes, Sandra Sparks (Mark), and John Forbes (Jeanine); special friends, Martha Barroteran and Q.Q.

his hands that he would never part with. However, he loaned it out once to a man who was once sports editor of The Covington Leader, Roland Weir, who needed it to call a high school baseball game for Don Chandler.

Before it could be returned, Roland and Don were involved in an automobile accident that eventually claimed the life of Don and came close to claiming Roland’s too. Through it all, the chest protector survived and was returned to Paul.

Before Paul passed, he told me that he had instructed his family to never loan it out again. In a way, it’s a shame that it will never be used again. But you never know what life holds. Maybe somebody will pick it up someday and realize what it is and go out and umpire a ball game with it.

I hope so because I’m betting that thing still has some air in it that my daddy breathed into it.

Carpe diem

These words from the late, great Robin Williams in Dead Poets Society inspired a generation. As an injury lawyer, I deal with more than a few Latin words in both law and medicine. But this term, and the movie that made it famous, Dead Poets Society, are different. The kind of different that compels me to write a movie review decades after the film is made, as we all mourn the suicide of the star actor.

“Carpe diem” is Latin for “Seize the Day.” Dead Poets Society is regarded David Peel as one of the finest “coming of age” films in cinPeel Law Firm ematic history. In fact, the film has been named among the best ever.

It is not truly a film about poets—living or dead.

It involves them, quotes them, and gives new life to them, but it is not actually a film about poetry.

It is not actually a film about a society or university club. It shows the conflicts, the peer pressure, the joy and the power of mob rule, but it is not primarily a film about a club.

It is not, in the main, a film about school and leaving home, and the conflict of demanding rich parent whose lofty expectations of their son are rivaled only by their vast emotional distance. Dead Poets

Society tells that tragic story that leads, almost inevitably, to the suicide of one of the most promising young men. It is ironic now.

In truth, it hammers home the message that we are all careening toward death at such speed that we should seize the day! Today. We are promised not even all of it. Certainly tomorrow is not certain. “Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying: And this same flower that smiles today… Tomorrow will be dying,” John Keating quotes, expertly played by the late Williams.

Finding courage in the hopelessness of the fact that we will all die may strike one as entirely contradictory. But, you can see and hear it in an uncomfortable scene in which the students are shuffled in the hallway to view the black–and–white photographs of long forgotten classes.

“They’re not that different from you, are they?

Same haircuts…Full of hormones, just like you.

Invincible---just like you feel … They believe they’re destined for great things---just like many of you, their eyes are full of hope---just like you … these boys are now fertilizing daffodils… But if you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy to you … “ He concludes in a whisper, “’Carpe diem,’ ‘seize the day,’ boys … make your lives … extraordinary!”

Mr. Peel seeks justice for those injured in car accidents, work place incidents, medical malpractice, and nursing homes. He often addresses churches, clubs and groups without charge. Mr. Peel may be reached through PeelLawFirm.comwherein other articles may be accessed.

time with the other members of our family. This is something very important. If you want your family to be a happy family, you need to spend some time together. Even if you are busy otherwise, you must try to spend at least some time with the members of your family.

Celebrating little events in life may sometimes become even more important as compared to celebrating some huge events. For example, to your brother it may be more important that you remember his birthday and wish him a happy birthday at midnight as compared to taking him and his friends to a lavish dinner. You must not waste any such chance. Consider yourself as a family member, and critically look at each aspect. You will come to know what you should add in your personality to become even more effective as a member of your family to make the ties even stronger.

Family is very important to all of us. It is our responsibility to play the role which nature has given us.

We can help in strengthening our family ties. We should try to do that as much as we possibly can.

T. Ray Greeer is the pastor of Salem Missionary Baptist Church in Mason.

FAITH & FAMILY

Are we ready to run into His arms?

By EMILY PEYTON COOK Special to The Leader My son wakes up early every morning, just to be with his father.

If he happens to sleep late and hears him shut the door to go to work, he runs down the hallway trying to catch him, running outside if I allow him to. If he misses an opportunity to tell him goodbye, he cries. He loves his dad and has a special relationship with him. He misses him when he’s at work and watches for him to come up the driveway at 5:00. He greets him at the door with a loud, “Daddy!” These are visuals and sounds I will never forget.

This got me thinking…what if we were so enthusiastic to wake up early to spend time with our heavenly Father? What if our day just didn’t start out right if we didn’t

get to spend time with Him? What if we watched for Him like He tells us to in His word and we lived like He could be walking through our door at any minute? What if we lived ready everyday intentionally as we prepare to run into His arms?

Let’s wake up tomorrow with God on our minds before our feet hit the floor. Let us run down our halls to His word and spend time with the One so special to us. Let’s listen for His voice, feel His presence in our lives, and be the fragrance of Christ wherever we go.

May we taste and see that the Lord is good and never forget that He’s coming back for us. May our joy overflow and bubble over so much so that we couldn’t keep the good news to ourselves that we have been redeemed by such a wonderful Savior.

Libby Click Hi everyone.

I hope you all have had a happy and relieved week.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad politics are temporarily over and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure the majority of candidates are as well.

In Almyra, Mr. Murphyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Country Creations is doing very well. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so glad for him.

Our recent rain was a true downpour. When I went out to feed the birds, my feet went down into the ground at least a full inch and maybe more in places. For you who know me, my 110 pounds rarely does that. However, I discovered it was an excellent time to pull crab grass out of the ground.

Mr. Bill escorted me to our monthly Indian Tribe meeting Saturday night. Our chief feels certain that Mr. Bill is part Indian, as well. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re checking on that. Our tribe is called "Faraway Cherokee," the Tanasi Tribe. My fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family was from East Tennessee, around the Smoky Mountains. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned so much over the past few years that I never knew concerning Indian heritage, of which Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so proud!

Ancestry of all nature is worth your time. Mr.

BEST OF THE BEST Special Section!

COMING SOON! The Leader would like to thank the local businesses in our great community for their participation in a very successful Best of the Best Banquet on July 29th!

Thank you for your support and we look forward to next year!

John Smith, Charlieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cousin, and I met in Salem Cemetery last week and I learned a lot about some of Charlieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ancestors. He and James, his brother, know it all. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure Charlie was the sweetest one of all for many generations back.

Tipton County and the Civil War

By RUSSELL BAILEY Tipton County Historian

BATTLE OF MISSIONARY RIDGE ATTACK ON THE CONFEDERATE CENTER Nov. 25, 1863 Continued As the men of the 4th and 5th Tennessee climbed to the top of Missionary Ridge, the Federals were hard after them. Luke Finley, of the 4th regiment describes the battle there: â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one was badly hurt in the (rifle) pits, but nearly one-third were disabled or killed in the ascent. Once on the summit, the boys falling in the attenuated line of battle, resumed the contest and continued until the Federals had gained the left center of our army, to our right, and were moving almost on us on our right flank; and then, Strahlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brigade being alone in the line of battle, and the last in that part of the field, both flanks being exposed, Gen. Strahl, in the presence

of our division commander, Gen. A. P. Stewart, ordered a retreatâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;?

Strahlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tennesseans, Randall Gibsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Louisianans and Dawsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cannoneers fought like demons defending their position along the crest of the ridge. This action was a blood bath for the flag-bearers.

The 19th Illinois had three colorbearers shot down in rapid succession.

The flag-bearer of the 74th Illinois was hit 20 feet from the crest; then a corporal grabbed the colors and made it another 10 feet before he was killed.

A private finally planted the flag on the crest.

Five members of the 24th Tennessee color guard fell dead in one heap defending their flag to the last.

Jesse J. Finleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Florida brigade broke for the rear leaving the flank of the Louisiana brigade uncovered. The flank-attack by the 44th Illinois of Gen. Francis T. Shermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brigade, and the 11th Michigan of Stoughtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, forced Strahl and Gibson to retreat.

TN CHARTER 640

Tiptonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s large contingent of soldiers at Missionary Ridge were in the 51st and 52nd consolidated Tennessee infantry, Gen. Marcus J. Wrightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brigade, Cheathamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s division, commanded by Lt. Col. John Gracey Hall.

These men left Charleston Nov. 23 on the first available rail cars on the Western and Atlantic. They traveled to Dalton, Ga., and then up to Chickamauga Station arriving the morning of the 24th.

Lt. Col. Hallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soldiers performed guard duty at the bridge over Chickamauga Creek for several hours. When relieved, they marched toward the mouth of the Chickamauga. Federal sharpshooters fired on the regiments but none were injured.

The 51st and 52d rejoined the brigade between sundown and dark.

After stacking arms and resting, Hallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s men were ordered to march back to Chickamauga Station about 9:30 p.m. About midnight, the regiment marched to the stone bridge, where they camped for the night.

It's a hot, sunny Sunday and I'm glad to be back home writing to you! I spent a week in Panama City, Fla., with Justin, Liz and Lyla, sitting on the beach, cooking inside, eating out, and watching Lyla learn to swim. She's a natural, but you know, "There's no place like home!"

This week's farm report: The corn really changed since I left; it turned yellow at the bottom and top! Cotton is blooming all over, and beans are nice and black, meaning dark, dark, green.

We got a nice two inches of rain Friday, after a couple of weeks with no rain.

September will be here before we know it and the combine will be out of the barn!

I worked the election at the armory on Thursday, after getting home at midnight on Tuesday and washing clothes and cleaning all day Wednesday. Six a.m. came awfully early that day! I was astonished that only 28.1 percent of registered voters came out for this election.

If you don't vote, don't complain about who won! â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Nuf said!

It was ladies' movie and dinner night Friday, and five of us, Bonnie Glass, Wanda Townsend, Deborah Cates, LaDonna Nance and I, had dinner together, then saw "100 Foot Journey," which was really, really good! There hasn't been a chick-flick in months and we really enjoyed this movie with Helen Mirren, who is always good in her movies.

Then we went for frozen yogurt; it was a great night!

It's been foggy the last two mornings, and they say for every fog you get in August, you'll have that many snows the following winter! Yay! Dale and Shirley Laxton remain on our prayer list; as well as Craig Clay and Craig Robinson, both recovering from surgery; Eric Jones, Steve Parker, Mike Smith, Kent Wingate, Southern Raisinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; writer Otis Griffin, Billie Boswell, Kelly Todd, Charlie Hardin, Richard Huffman, all those taking treatments and all servicemen and women.

The birthday party at Covington Manor will be at 2 p.m. on the 16th.

The youth-led devotional at Coving-

provided a stout and heroic defense that cold November afternoon: Robert Tyler commanding Batesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; brigade and Finleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brigade which had rallied following their retreat from the ridge.

For more than an hour, they fought against Sheridanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soldiers, allowing other disoriented Rebel soldiers to flee toward Chickamauga Creek. A soldier in the 20th Tennessee, Batesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; brigade recorded an incident of note.

A musical band was ordered to play the song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dixieâ&#x20AC;? in rallying retreating soldiers in battle, perhaps for the first time in the war: â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we were moving back we noticed that our entire line south towards Braggâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headquarters was broken and our men in full retreat. As we moved back, our brigade continued to fire at the pursuing enemy, until we got them checked, in a measure, and other brigades now began to reform, and order was partially restored. Col. (William) Shy discovered our field band in the rear, and ordered them to play (the song) â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dixie.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; This seemed to do more toward rallying the men than all else.â&#x20AC;?

GreetingsHello readers, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m back home. I thank all of you for your patience during my time away from my desk.

As you know, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been helping my brother-in-law, David Ivey, with our sister Marie, who sustained a nasty fall in June. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been pretty bad off from the onset, however, now sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still not out of the woods from her fall. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a while before thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll happen, her doctors are sure that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be on the up and up very soon. David retired now in order to be at home to help her complete her healing process. Please keep them in your thoughts and in your prayers.

So much has happened while I was away. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost several dear friends and family over these past weeks.

These families are in our prayers for their recent loses: Isiah Davidson (who lost his wife Dorothy), the Teamer family, the Foster family, the Hopper family, and the Harber family (Katerene of Jamestown).

Katerene was very special to me, I called her â&#x20AC;&#x153;TT.â&#x20AC;? She was 90 years young, very beautiful and a strong community activist as well as a devoted wife (of the late James Harber), and a loving mother, grandmother, great as well as great-great-grandmother.

Sister to Leslie and Iv Lee of East St. Louis, Ill. Her home-going services were held on Saturday, Aug. 2 at St. Stephens Baptist in Covington. The Rev. O. Pearl Andrews, pastor of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grace Gospel Church in Jamestown, officiated. Bright Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choir sang beautifully and her pastor, Gary Sanders, also of Bright Hill, read from the Old Testament scripture. The Rev. Romel Andrews of Elam Baptist Church in Ripley, read from the New Testament and North Starâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rev. Steven Miller Sr. had words of comfort for the family. A loved repast was held for the family

at Bright Hill following the burial at Dickens Cemetery in Jamestown. Let us keep Jerome and Gloria, Addie and Danny Johnson, Sarah and Charles Lyons, Georgia Ruth and James Jordan, and all of their families, including Ken Irving and his lovely wife and children from Georgia in prayer.

Ken played football several years ago in the NFL. He married Katerineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s granddaughter, Liddie, who is her son Dannyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter. A special thanks to Barlow Funeral Home, St. Stephens and Pastor L. McGarity, Rev. O. Pearl Andrews, GGGC, Rev. Gary Andrews, her church family, Rev. G. Sanders and Bright Hill.

On our sick and prayer list, Ruth Alston, Bobbie Bennett, Rudolph Boykins, Eugene Baker, Mary Ballard, Minister Pink Sherrill Jr., Ruth Griffin, and Marie Powell Ivey, also for Saul Clark.

Dollie Boykins of Covington was Julyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hostess in the Jolly Corteria Club; a lovely repast was enjoyed by all of the ladies.

Congratulations to Jessie Cooke, who will be baptized this Sunday after a.m. service at Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grace Gospel Church of Jamestown, Pastor O. Pearl Andrews will officiate. The public is invited. Services begin at 9 a.m.

This is all for now. Remember, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask for an easier life, ask instead to be a much stronger person!â&#x20AC;?

Watch out for our children, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another school year!

2014 GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER PREVIEW

All three teams return talent

MHS will be young in 2014

BHS won district last season

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com

Youth will be served when the Munford Lady Cougar soccer team takes the pitch for the 2014 season.

Sixth-year head coach Kyle Selby has only four seniors on his roster, and just two of them – center back Michaela Friesth and defender/striker Megan Benoit – started a season ago.

“We are working to develop the younger players,” Selby said, “and build depth in all positions.”

Munford played a brutal schedule last year, but still finished with a 7-7-3 record. They finished second in District 13-AAA and advanced to the region semifinals for the third straight season.

If the Lady Cougars are going to make it four years in a row, several younger players will have to play major roles this season.

Junior Erin Detter, an attacking midfielder, and junior striker Erika Lambert will be needed to generate some offense that graduated seniors Amie Beaman and Christin Smith provided last season.

The same could be said of Matti Ping, a sophomore striker who started last season as a freshman.

Sophomore Taylor Savage, who started at midfielder last season, moves to goalkeeper this season. Emily Montgomery, a junior, returns as well after starting in 2013.

Munford's youth will be tested early with a trip to Brighton, the defending district champs, on Aug. 26.

“They are working very hard on possession and overall soccer knowledge,” Selby said of his young team. “Their development to become more of a passing and possession team is key to our improvements on last year.”

The battle for the District 13AAA title in girls soccer typically comes down to Munford and Brighton, and 2013 was no different.

A year after finishing second, Brighton punctuated a strong regular season by defeated Munford for the district title.

Brighton lost to Bolton in the region semifinals, but finished the season with a 13-3 mark.

The Lady Cardinals will go to battle this year without the services of several key players who graduated, namely Hannah Whitefoot. She had 32 goals and 25 assists during her career and signed with Williams Baptist College.

“We lost a lot of key players,” said head coach Shari Garrett, who is in her fourth year as head coach at Brihgton.

“We have talented girls who are going to need to step up their level of play and fill in those key positions.”

Players who figure to play more prominent roles this year include senior midfielders Avis VanKampen and Holly Maddox, as well as senior defenders Kalie Zimmerman and Kasie Jacome.

Brandi Holland, a junior midfielder, and sophomore midfielder Lexi Smith will also be looked to for more production in 2014.

“We are a young team learning to work together,” Garrett said. "The girls have put hours of training in this summer. I am confident their hard work will pay off. This group has a passion for the game that will account for inexperience. We will be a team to watch.”

Van Cleve, Tipton scored 56 goals for CHS last season

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com With the graduation of five starters, there will be some new faces on the pitch for the 2014 Covington Lady Charger soccer team.

But plenty of firepower returns, particularly on offense.

“A lot of my starters are girls that have

come out for soccer just this year, so it will be a season of growth throughout,” said ninth-year head coach Robert Luttrell. “But we have a great core group of players that will make the transition for the new starters better.”

Seniors Anne Marie Van Cleve and Iesha Tipton combined to score 56 goals a season ago. Van Cleve, a three-time all-region selection who plays midfield,

scored 26 times last year. Tipton, a forward, led the team with 30 goals.

Defender Mia Powell and midfielder Hannah McMahon, both seniors, also return as starters after earning all-region recognition a season ago.

There will plenty of experience on the back end of the defense as well with the return of keeper Callie McDaniel, last year's region most valuable player.

The Lady Chargers had a solid 2013 campaign. They finished 13-4-1 and advanced to district semifinals.

How well Luttrell's experienced and new players come together will be crucial as the season progresses.

“With just five returning starters,” Luttrell said, “we just need the repetition and experience that a season will provide.”

Local residents having issues with oak trees

By BECKY MULLER UT-Extension County Director This spring and summer I have received an unusually high number of calls related to die-back in red oaks. The tree crowns were very thin and leaves were absent on the outer stems. Consistent with these calls has been the following: • Trees involved were almost exclusively willow and water oaks.

• Trees were growing in newer subdivisions.

• Trees were roughly five to 25 years old.

• Trees had been transplanted to the site (and not likely from a native seed source).

It has been perplexing to determine the cause. In speaking with our tree physiologist, Dr. Jennifer Franklin, neither of us believed this is pathological (no sign of borers, wilted leaves, discoloration, etc.).

It could be lawn-care herbicide damage, but why just those two species, and why this year? One theory under discussion is that, when planted, these trees could have been brought in from a much deepersouth region.

Since we are near to the northern range of both species, it is possible that the local nurseries are procuring these species from much further south.

Given this, the extreme cold weather that we endured for several days last winter may be killing the finer, terminal branches. This is supported in that the local water and willow oaks. In a natural forest setting, they do not show the same symptoms.

When this stress is coupled with the harsh sites that are common in subdivisions (old fields, infertile soils, compacted with equipment during construction, etc.), the trees are having a hard time adapting.

Continue to watch these trees for a few years and you may determine that it is best to encourage tree removal and begin anew with a local seed source. If saving the tree is preferred, then general recommendations to tell your constituents include: • Kill the grass under the tree canopy.

• Spread mulch shallow, but wide (two to three inches deep).

• Water during dry periods.

• Late next winter, fertilize with 10-10-10 at a rate of 18 pounds per 1,000 square feet.

• Remove dead branches with sterilized tools, also in late winter.

• Super Thrive is a product that has brought some success. It contains hormones that can stimulate new
