Gilt Edge to end medical calls Call volume ‘too much’ for volunteers By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com
Come February 1, there will be a change in procedure for medical calls to the Gilt Edge area. Fire chief Jason O'Dell said due to the strain put on the volunteer department, it's not feasible to continue responding to emergency medical calls. "It's a little too much to ask an all-volunteer organization," he said. "The change that seemed to make the most sense was to modify our EMS program." The Gilt Edge Volunteer Fire
Department will no longer be dispatched to medical calls unless there is no ambulance available. "Our role is not the same as it used to be," he said. "Under the old ambulance system, we would typically arrive on scene several minutes before the ambulance and administer emergency care while waiting for the ambulance to arrive." When Tipton County contracted with Rural Metro several years ago, he said, ambu-
lance response times improved and fire department volunteers rarely arrive before EMS personnel. He said the number of emergency medical calls is wearing the volunteers out and may cause the community's fire protection to suffer. The department has had as many as 25 volunteers in its past, but currently there are only 13 on its roster. "Of those 13, three of those people no longer live in our
district and one has a full-time job that keeps him out of town a considerable amount of time," O'Dell said in a letter to the city council. Of the remaining volunteers, six make the majority of calls and "attend other activities," he said. "For the past few years we hae been dispatched for over 300 calls per year. This means we are experiencing more calls than ever, with fewer people carrying the load." SEE CALLS, PAGE A3
BBQ festival in the works in Atoka
‘A big celebration’
By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com A new tradition may be in the works in South Tipton County as organizers work to plan Atoka's first barbeque festival. Planned for the first weekend in April, the event will be a two-day festival featuring family-friendly fun and arts and crafts vendors in addition to contest devoted to a staple of the Mid-South. "We have two acts lined up for Friday night and one lined up for Saturday night," said Atoka Parks and Recreation Director Brian Peel. "We'll have barbeque teams start cooking on Friday night." The idea originated from a Facebook post. Alderman Danny Feldmayer, Brett Gianinni and Mike Joyner actually have a Memphis in May cooking team. SEE BBQ, PAGE A3
Court clerk and master retires Judy Trotter Billings was honored with a retirement reception on Jan. 22 at the Covington Country Club. Ms. Billings retired after 30 years of service in the office of the Clerk and Master of Chancery Court of Tipton County. Ms. Billings began her duties as a deputy clerk in 1982. She was appointed as Clerk & Master in 1994 by Chancellors Dewey C. Whitenton and John Hill Chisolm. She was reappointed in 2000 and 2006 by the present chancellors William C. Cole and Martha B. Brasfield. "Ms. Billings is known as an over-achieving public servant," said Susan Forbess. "The citizens and attorneys whom she served always complimented Ms. Billings and her staff on their professionSEE RETIRES, PAGE A3

Q&A
WITH MARILYN BARBEE
Editor’s note: This week we are continuing a feature called Q&A. Through this feature we hope to help you get to know your neighbors, government officials and others in the community. Today we are publishing a chat with Minister Marilyn Barbee. A Tipton County native, Barbee runs the Faith That Works reading program and is involved in other community projects. Q: When you were a
www.covingtonleader.com
child, what did you want to be when you grew up? A: I wanted to be a TV or radio news reporter. Q: What person had the biggest influence on you growing up? A: My mother, Ms. Carrie Mae Hayes. She worked daily and taught me how to work. Q: What do you like to do in your spare time?
Q: Tell us about the Faith That Works reading program. How did it come about and what are its goals? A: Faith that Works reading program is a United Methodist Outreach project that started July 21, 2012. This was my vision as I completed a class assignment in the Master's program. I wanted to one day implement it in my community. Therefore I took the idea to the church (United Methodist Church). As a result, in partnership with the community, places such as the Covington Housing Authority, Tipton County Library, retired teachers, school teachers, CHS Honor Society and other volunteers and agencies, the program has made a great impact on approximately 24-30 Tipton County children ages 5-18 who attend each Saturday from 10 to 11:30 a.m. We are located at 702 Jackson St. and we encourage others to volunteer. These children receive tutoring in reading, writing and spelling, using faith and secular based books and materials. The theme reflects “Believe to Achieve.” John Wesley said “do all the good you can… to all the people you can…” Therefore our goal is to increase their reading speed and comprehension, which will help their academic performance. Q: What's the most important thing young people need to understand about becoming successful adults? A: One of the most important things young people need to understand about becoming successful adults is given to me in a song: “We fall down, but we get up.” Get up and move life forward. Get educated, through elementary school, high school, secularly, college. Or if college is not for you, go to vocational school, get a trade. Spiritually, if seminary is not for you, go to Sunday school and Bible study, get in a small group study for spiritual growth. For me, success means when I fall, get up, and move forward. Therefore, Philippians 3:14 confirms: “I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”
Zieglers: Relaying for a reason Purple t-shits and gold medals are what symbolize Relay for Life for Heather Ziegler and her son Roman Ziegler. “The more purple, the more survivors,” said Roman, 13, who was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma at the age of 6. Roman said, “When you see all those purple shirts together it’s pretty amazing.” Heather likes to call it the “Sea of Purple.” She says that more youth have been wearing the purple shirts the past few years. “But it brings me joy to see them beating cancer, ” Heather said. At the 2012, Relay For Life of Tipton County Roman says there were many supporters there to cheer the survivors. “It felt really good,” the young cancer survivor said. Roman said that he Relays For Life do raise money for American Cancer Society’s Camp Horizon. The campsite, located just outside of Nashville, Tenn., is for young cancer survivors within 5 years of treatment and current cancer patients who are 6 to 17 years old. “It (Camp Horizon) is my favorite thing to do in the summer,” said Roman. Roman’s future goals are to become a counselor at Camp Horizon and a Lego Master Builder. Heather said that Roman is the reason she is participates in Relay For Life. She first became involved when Roman was finishing his treatments at the age of 7. For Heather, her son’s cancer battle was a time to slow down. “I didn’t have time to get angry or feel sorry for myself,” she said. Through Relay, Heather was able to “fight back” she says by sharing her son’s story. “This is not just the fight for – I think something is missing in this sentence eventually the majority of us will have to deal with at least once,” Heather said. She wants people to know that Relay For Life is not only a support group but it is a huge advocacy for the fight against cancer. “There is a place for every person,” Heather said. Heather’s oldest daughter Naomi Ziegler, 17, formed a Relay team her sophomore year at Brighton High School. According to Heather, they were the largest team last year. Her middle daughter Chloe, 14, has also joined the team. Heather is also
excited about several other youth teams from the high school, as well as Brighton Middle School’s team, GEMS’s team, and Covington Integrated Arts Academy team. Heather added she would still like to see more church, and family teams join Relay For Life in Tipton. “The recession took a huge toll on Tipton County, but cancer doesn’t care,” she says. She also encourages more survivors to get involved with Relay. “Survivors have an incredible amount of drive, after all they know firsthand what it’s like to live with cancer,” Heather said. Heather said she had to make a tough decision by stepping down as Relay chair for 2013.

FLASHBACK
GUEST OPINION
Cancer trilogy: part three During treatments I continued to work as I could. My staff and the folks at the entire VA Hospital were great. Two of the ladies on my staff would come in early and sanitize everything in the office spaces out of concern for my immune system. The guys would not let me carry anything as it was recommended I avoid anything over 20 pounds, ordering me to drop anything more than a few pieces of paper. I had been told by the doctors to drink lots of water, at least 80 ounces per day. My boss, staff and others would chastise me if they ever found me without water nearby. Folks throughout the hospital donated leave as I was running out of time so I would continue to have a paycheck. Friends from church and work brought food and offered to help around the house. Some would give Debbie a break and take me to Billings, Mont., a two-hour drive. People were praying, calling, emailing and mailing from across the country. Hearing I was losing my hair, my sister, Georgianna, made me a dreadlock wig to help lighten things up. Debbie and I were truly blessed with friends and family. In early April I began daily trips to Billings for J IM HARDIN seven weeks of radiation. I worked half days and made it to Billings by 3 p.m. for radiation. On my first Monday in Billings I was also given an infusion of cysplatan. I really hated chemo, but at least it was only one type, and I would not need another for three weeks. For the radiation they had molded a hard plastic mesh to snap my head and neck tight to the table. After they made sure I was positioned correctly, they snapped me in place, left the room, and then the huge equipment would begin taking images around my head and neck before starting to shoot me with 7-8 minutes of radiation. Sometimes the images revealed an adjustment would need to be made, so they would come in and reposition my head to the right spot and then begin again. It was a good thing that I was not claustrophobic. I was anchored tight against the table, surrounded by equipment, and could barely see through the molded mesh. If I had panicked and wanted to get out I did not have the energy to unsnap the mold. As the days progressed I would develop issues of drainage creating breathing problems, but I was determined to get through this and to do so without sedatives. I could see in the ceiling through my peripheral vision a forest scene and what appeared to be an angel. I would focus on looking at the angel as I recited scripture from memory, often Psalm 1 and the Lord’s Prayer. It wasn’t until the last week of radiation that I had moments of panic and issues breathing that they had to let me compose, but with God’s strength I was able to continue without sedatives. After three weeks of radiation the trip became too much to handle so Debbie and I stayed in Billings for my daily doses for the last four weeks. In early May, my immune system took a nose dive and the creatin levels in my kidneys showed the chemo had done too much damage. I spent six days in the hospital and my last dose of chemo was cancelled as the doctors felt my kidneys could not take anymore. I was warned that swallowing would become extremely difficult and painful and that I would need a feeding tube. On Jan. 5, the day of my surgery, I was 255 pounds. I was now down to 200 pounds and dropping, but I refused a feeding tube. My taste buds and saliva glands were gone by the fifth week of radiation. My mouth was dry and I could not taste anything. Mashed potatoes or chocolate pudding were the same to me, and with my stomach in pain, throat extremely sore and lack of taste, I just did not want to eat. Between Debbie’s encouragement and my fear of getting a feeding tube, thereby losing my ability to swallow, I was able to keep eating Raeman noodles and drinking protein shakes, though with much difficulty. I was taking a teaspoon of liquid narcotics every 2-4 hours to keep the pain in my throat at bay. They had to burn my throat and neck. Debbie kept salve on my neck to keep sores from getting infected and I drank aloe juice. I had to constantly sip water or use a spray to keep the dry mouth

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Against Hope Park I would like to respond to the Hope Park article in the Dec. 20, 2012 edition of The Leader. My comments are prompted by the number of points that were omitted from the article that were discussed during the meeting. Here are the main issues: This project has been in the works since spring 2011 but was only made public by the mayor in September 2012 – on Facebook; Munford is taking out a $1.2 million dollar loan (not related to Hope Park) and won’t answer questions regarding future costs of the park, that Munford overspent last July by over $20,000, and that we fear our taxes will be raised to support the park. The article omitted the fact that despite the seven day study conducted on the speed of vehicles on Drummonds Road, there was a drunk driver (fatality) and a helicopter that had to land there because of an accident. The article omitted the fact that we chose not to live by a park (despite the alderman’s choice to move near to one) and we are happy with the five current parks the city already has. Also, the application states there are only four parks in Munford. The article omitted the fact that residents brought up in both the November and December meetings that there is already an issue with people trespassing onto private property to see the pond. The

ghum molasses and sulfur, similar to catheads dipped in red-eye gravy, to be fiercely spread over the red ‘wep’ torso. Another suggestion was to wash the bed sheets, blankets and quilts at least every two weeks, whether needed or not. A hot bath using freshly drawn well water was said to expedite the cure. I’m not sure if this extra dipping included the regular Sat’dy night submerging. Just a thought! One thing about it, the entire school, not just the room class, knew you were not absent with sulfur and molasses emitting an odor from Rosemark University to Beaver Valley. No matter whether it was right or wrong, this was just way of life. Friends can you just imagine what these curtain climbers would do today of they had to indulge in some of our cures we used a hun’ert years ago? Why they would crawl under a gum stump like a mole and hide for sure. But we did survive by the skin of our teeth. Maybe it wasn’t as Bad as We thought at the Time….GLORY!

ed… the 20 will be repaved. Why spend $500,000 (plus sustainment costs) for 20 vehicles? Again, no response to this question. The article omitted the fact that we said numerous times that we are not against wanting kids to have fun but there is a safety issue with that property that the city refuse to acknowledge. Despite several requests, we never received a complete or signed copy of the application from the city. We received a copy from the engineer – at the December meeting. The application for grants is graded based on responses in the application. The higher the grade, the better the chances of receiving the grant. We believe that some of the responses in the application are inaccurate. For example: The application asks for the agenda, minutes, and sign-in sheet for the public meeting held to discuss/ vote on the park. There was no special meeting to discuss the park; only the monthly mayor and aldermen meeting. Interestingly enough, there are two identical sign-in sheets included in the application; one is dated and the other isn’t. Also, not ONE resident from Countryside was at the meeting. Lastly, there was neither an agenda nor minutes from that meeting in October 2011 included in the application as was recommended. The application states that there are nearly 10,000 residents in MuSEE LETTERS, PAGE A5

article omitted the discussion on both the liability of the city and the residents for the potential drowning danger. The article omitted the drainage problem already present in the neighborhood. Residents have spent a lot of money correcting it because of the run-off from that property. Also, the property is bowl-shaped and will require tons of dirt to fill it in. The article omitted the discussion regarding tax dollars that will be needed to support the park once it’s built. When tax dollars are obligated, the residents need to vote or at least be made aware of the intent. Some expenses are: Will the restroom in the current home be used or will a new restroom be built? How will cleaning of the restrooms, supplies, garbage, burying the power lines, landfill, water, electricity, security be funded? None of these questions have been answered despite numerous requests by the residents. The article omitted the discussion on the value of the land. In order to receive the full grant of $250,000, the land must be of equal value or more. That plot of land is currently assessed at $212,000 (maybe even less because it’s not taxed). We asked the mayor in November and December how he was going to make up the difference and there was no response. The article omitted the discussion on parking. There are currently 20 spaces and we were told no additional spots will be add-

Continued from A4 nford, but we barely have 6,000 residents, and the city has only grown 25 percent in 12 years. The mayor had no response to this discrepancy. When the land was deeded to the city, the stipulations were that the land be used for community service and that it be ‘not for profit’. In the application, it specifically states that Hope Park will provide a place for “creating a source of revenue by establishing rental fees for use of the park for private gatherings and meetings”. That goes against the deed. In the application, it states that the walking paths will be shared by walkers, skateboarders, roller bladers, runners, bikers...and wheelchairs? No, we are absolutely not against any of these, but that combination just appears to be an accident waiting to happen. How would the city address this potential liability? At both the November and December meetings, the mayor promised to send each of the residents in Countryside a letter inviting us to discuss the park design with the engineer. Why didn’t that happen in 2011? The mayor had no response to this question. We resent the fact that the mayor stated that we think they are “doing something evil,” we have never said that. But let’s face it - the
city has been working on this project for nearly two years without involving the residents most affected, there are serious inconsistencies in the application that the city will not discuss, the city is about to go into debt and has no response to how the park will be funded once it’s built, and our safety and privacy concerns are not being addressed despite several requests. If built, the park will be a prime example of fiscal irresponsibility. This is the other side of the story.

That is my state of mind right now. I was given my childhood Saturday at the winter sowing class. Having never received a yearbook from my grammar school days it has been hard for me to remember the people I went to school with all those years ago.

stopping you from contributing to a 529 plan, Coverdell account or custodial account along with your 401(k) and IRA. Clearly, though, it will take discipline and perseverance on your part to save and invest for both your children’s education and your own retirement. Like everyone else, you don’t have unlimited resources. But you do have another ally — time. The earlier you begin investing for education and retirement, the greater your chances of achieving your goals in these areas. And by understanding how your goals interact, you can work to make sure you don’t inadvertently derail one when saving for another. Avoiding the student loan “debt trap” while still making progress toward your retirement savings will require creative thinking — and both you and your children may have to make some sacrifices along the way. But the ultimate goals — a college degree that isn’t one big IOU and a comfortable retirement — are worth the effort.

fills my heart and mind with such joy that words can not express the depth. Not just the gift of the book meant so much but the act of a teacher that I loved and respected so many years ago would still lift and inspire me today. He had no clue back in the 70s that his teaching would inspire me to become so inquisitive on ecology, just as I am sure he, or I, is unaware at what this simple kindness will spark in my soul. Teachers, all teachers, whether it be school, Sunday school, parents, coaches or whomever a child looks up to for guidance, your every action can and does have influence and impact on the future of that child’s life. Never take advantage of nor feel inadequate as a teacher, because, who knows what fires your sparks will kindle!

Continued from A4 from becoming unbearable. On the last day of radiation, the wonderful young ladies who took care of me threw a little party and gave me a certificate of completion. I plan to frame it and place this certificate on the wall above my degrees. By now the pain was intense and I was as weak as I had ever been. I was less than 200 pounds and would not sense an easing of pain for many weeks. On August 2, I went under the knife again to remove the lymph node that had grown so large and 27 other nodes around it. There was still some live cancer in the one, but all the others were cancer-free. A PET scan in November revealed no live cancer in my body. In January this year I was declared in full remission. Last year I was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. God, family and friends saw me through and it appears that my life has been restored. This is my cancer trilogy and next week I will recap lessons learned and share details of recovery I hope will help others in a similar situation, so until then.

By JESSICA COOKE jcooke@covingtonleader.com A cast and crew of local talent led by director Cozset Jones are bringing a stage adaption of J. R. R. Tolkien's fantasy novel The Hobbit to life. The production will premiere on the stage of the Historic Ruffin Theater this Friday and will continue through this weekend and next. Jones, who is a veteran director with the Tipton Arts Council, says that they chose to produce this play at this particular time due to the recent release of the New Line Cinema film adaption of the novel. She says she's hoping fans of the book will be eager to see how her stage production compares with the film, but she claims Tolkien fans aren't the only audience that will find enjoyment with the the-
ater's production. “There’s something that, even if you’re not a Tolkien fan, you’re going to like," she assures. The story, which was originally written as a children's novel, contains such themes as good vs. evil, loyalty, friendship, greed and gluttony, and power. It involves serious battle scenes as well as lighthearted comedy. Jones says the stage production is visually dynamic and engaging, with special lighting effects as well as colorful costumes and props. The production at the Ruffin features quite a large cast of over 30 local actors and actresses ranging from age 9 to adult. Jones says that many of them will be making their stage debut this weekend. She and her cast have been in rehearsal since the beginning of December, but were not able to begin rehearsing on-stage until the
third week of December due to the production of "A Charlie Brown Christmas." “We had to battle the stomach bug and the flu, as well as holidays," Jones says. "So we’ve been very limited on our practice time. It’s been a very tight schedule. But they’re talented enough they’ve pulled it off.” Jones also announced that there will be a raffle for the Tolkienthemed works of a local artist. She also invites members of the audience to get a photo with their favorite character, which will be available after each performance. The production will run Jan. 2526 at 7 p.m. and Jan. 27 at 2 p.m, and then will return to the stage a second weekend on Feb. 1-2 at 7 p.m. and Feb. 3 at 2 p.m. Tickets can now be purchased online at the Ruffin Theater's website, at www.ruffintheater.org.

The TCCA Board members provided an abundance of delicious refreshments. Our guests were very generous in taking an angel’s name from our Angel Tree. We would like to thank everyone for their kindness in helping to make a Christmas wish come true for our participants. The staff and Board of TCCA hosted a Christmas luncheon for approximately 75 of our participants on December 21. Santa Claus visited handing out Angel Tree gifts to everyone. A very special thank you to our board members who helped serve the meal and our staff members who provided food for this special occasion. Our participants rang in the New Year on December 31 with party hats, horns, punch, cookies and pizza. A special time was had by all as they welcomed 2013. In observance of Elvis’ January birthday we were visited by our very own Elvis, Wanda Bellow, on January 9. Wanda, who is one of our board members, put on an outstanding show. The King of Rock & Roll was well represented by this talented lady. Thanks Wanda – it was great!

His appearance is always first class and his repertoire combines country, big band, oldies, gospel and many songs by Elvis. This performance at 10 a.m. is open to the community.

The Civil War and Tipton County: December 1862 Compiled by Russell B. Bailey, Tipton County Historian Gen. Wm. S. Rosecrans’ 44,000 Federals began their advance on Gen. Braxton Bragg’s Army of Tennessee at Murfreesboro on Dec. 26, 1862. Bragg’s 37,000 men were spread out from Triune, Eagleville, Lavergne, Murfreesboro and La Casas. Gen. Joseph Wheeler’s cavalry was at Lavergne skirmishing with the Federals on the Nashville-Murfreesboro Pike. Geo. Maney’s Brigade, Cheatham’s Division, was on outpost duty south of Lavergne at Stewart’s Creek. Maney’s troops including Tipton’s men in the 9th Tennessee, moved up to support of Wheeler’s Cavalry. Maney noted that his men “fell back slowly, skirmishing and retarding the Federal advance.” A private remembered
the rain, sleet and mud and that all he had dry was his cartridges. By the 28th Maney and Wheeler were back at Murfeesbro, having delayed the Federals long enough for Bragg to unite his army. Skirmishing began Dec. 30. A Federal assault on Robertson’s Battery was met with a countercharge by the 154th Tennessee Infantry (Co. D. composed of some men from the Randolph area) of Preston Smith’s Brigade, and was repulsed. Early on Dec. 31, Gen W. J. Hardee’s Corps assailed the Union right flank. After three hours of savage fighting, the far Union right was shattered. The Federal right center, mostly Gen. Philip Sheridan’s Division, put up a tough fight against Gen. Cheatham who had unfortunately sent his brigades into action piecemeal.
Dunlap Retirement Center
Tipton’s first soldiers engaged in the battle were those of the 154th Tennessee of Vaughan’s Brigade. With little support Vaughan’s men were unsuccessful. Arthur Manigault’s Brigade went into action but was stopped by converging fire from two Union batteries. Maney’s Brigade advanced to the support of Manigault and the two commanders planned a coordinated attack. Sheridan reformed his line to adjust to the collapse of units to his right, along the Wilkinson Pike. His redeployed artillery near the Harding home showered shells and shrapnel on Manigault and Maney’s right flank. The commanders mistakenly thought they were Confederate artillery. Maney ordered Malcom C. Hooks of Tipton, Color Bearer of the 9th Tennessee, to mount one of the
Harding outbuildings and wave the Confederate flag as a signal to the artillerymen. Hooks was nearly knocked off his perch by enemy fire. Gen. Cheatham led his brigades forward. Maney ordered his brigade to “right wheel” and charge the enemy battery. Halfway across the farm, Vaughan’s Brigade joined in the attack. A Unionist described Maney’s right wheel movement as “a grand sight; seldom has it been executed in a finer manner.” The charge forced Sheridan’s men back to their 3rd position anchored on George Robert’s Brigade. Although Sheridan lost 6 cannon to Cheatham’s attack, his three batteries had fired 3,436 rounds at the Rebel infantry. John Green Hall of Tipton wrote: “In midst of that terrible tem-
Hello everybody! Well we wanted winter, some of us, and here it is! I only wanted it so it would kill all the fleas left over from last winter when they didn’t even die out. I hate fleas! But here it is, winter! Guess we’d better make the best of it. I would like to ask you all to be in much prayer for our friend Ms. Louise Gupton. Ms. Louise fell Sunday be-
fore last and broke her hip. She has had the surgery and is out of the hospital and doing wonderfully. She is in Memphis Jewish Home & Rehab. If you know her, please give her a call or a visit if you’re in the area. We love you, Ms. Louise! We have a praise: Mr. Jim Webb came home from the hospital today. Thank you, Lord! Glad to have you
home, Mr. Jim. We also have another praise: today is Mr. Vernon Hendrickson’s 93rd birthday! Happy birthday, Mr. Vernon, and congratulations, you are our oldest resident. Sure hope you have a great day to celebrate! I hear there’s all kinds of “things” planned for you by your family. And let’s not forget our own staff, Darlene Lovett. Happy birthday to Darlene on Saturday! It’s been a while since I’ve talked about rooms we have available so I’ll let you
Gilt Edge
The topics include discussion on what does God mean by “love?” What does God mean by “submit?” Is it too late to bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord? So you’re in love…have you considered this? Also featured are topics such as dealing with conflict in marriage, the Christ-centered wife, the Christ-centered husband and keys to a great marriage. The Gilt Edge Church of Christ is located at 10726 Hwy. 59 W. and the phone number is 476-8482. Everyone is invited. I am also looking forward
to the Super Bowl between the 49ers and Ravens. I look for a good, hard-hitting defensive struggle in this year's game. On the prayer list this week are Henry and Laverne Fowler, Louise Martindale, Willie Mae Lawson, Lois Smith, Andrea Stafford, Victoria Matthews, Carolyn Hanks, Carla Carlson, Trixie Dawson, Janet Dempsey, Caroline Darden, DeVaugh Jackson, Otis Poole and Henry Haliburton. Please remember those serving in the military: Dennis Gholson, Jody Coker, Ian Boswell, Michael Barton, Ryan
Hirsch, E.J. Perkins, Seth Killow and Chance Hall and to all those that serve: thank you. Deep sympathy to the family of Ms. Ada Fletcher, who passed late last week. On an uplifting note, happy birthday to Doyle Warfel and happy anniversary to Richard and Reaba LaVelle. Also I would like to extend a special hello to my Aunt Betty Baskin who enjoys reading The Leader and says I am doing a god job. Thank you Aunt Betty. Until next time, God bless.
upon it! Happy birthday, Dr. King! On our prayer list are Isiah Burton Sr., Shade Alston, Louise Mason, Ruth Alston, Jennie Stewart, Posey Reed, Pink Sherrill Jr., Flossie Woods, Jessie Lawson, Eva Heaston, Viola Jones, Ruby Coe, Eugene and Gigi Baker, Connie and Christine Brown, Beaulah Wakefield, Early and Florence Woods, Bernice Weaver, Will Ross, Joseph Heaston Sr., Ruth Griffin, Mary Ballard, Wayne Jerry, Rufus Garner, George Hooper,
Rhonda Heaston-McLin and family, Mary Burton, Katarene Harber, Knot Hollands, David and Charlene Sneed, Carlotta Jones, all of my cousins and faithful readers out in Los Angeles, the Whites, the Andrews and the Smiths. Our prayers and condolences go to the entire family of Ada Fletcher, wife of the late Arvis Fletcher, owners of Fletcher Farms in Gilt Edge. They were both avid readers of this column and I loved them. Also remember Vance Jones and his family
of Jamestown, formerly of Dickensville, Tenn., in their recent loss. He is the older brother of Mary and Avery Lee Jones. Happy birthday to Floydesha Bell on Jan. 24, and if it’s yours too, have a very happy day! That’s all for this time. Remember: there’s always some good in even the worst of us. So make very sure your good is always shining through. Until next time.
I got my oil changed in my car Friday and Elizabeth did today. I picked her and Lyla up and they came home with me for most of the morning and afternoon. Clint and Courtney Gurley showed up also, so I was happy! We had a big soup and chili supper at church last night and we had leftover chicken tortilla soup. We had the biggest crowd last night; we even opened up the side rooms so people could have a seat! There was so much soup and chili we had to set up a separate table for desserts! It was a wonderful night and day! I am flying to San Antonio Saturday and solicit your prayers! 'Nuf said! Chocolate Fantasy is in Memphis Saturday and a baby shower for Mabry Catherine Schroader is Sunday at 2. I’ll miss both! It’s a bad weekend to be gone! This week's Cat Report: Minnie found some of my earbuds and totally dissected them. Every time I see her she's playing with another section of them! She has learned what "No" and "Annnnnnt!" mean and is a good cat! Jenni Langston continues
to be on our prayer list because of a knee injury. Jeff Hanks is having a nerve block soon; we’re hoping that works! Joyce Whaley is having tests tomorrow and Thursday, and Charlie Click and Jimbo Edmonds continue fighting cancer. Pat Farabee is very ill and Lavern Fowler is not feeling well. All these are in our prayers, along with all our servicemen and women. My sincere sympathy also goes to Larry Coughlan in the death of his brother, Dan Coughlan. He was hit by a car on Saturday in Ripley. The driver got out and saw he'd hit him, and left the scene. The investigation continues and funeral arrangements are incomplete at this time. I hope they find out who did this. Dan's family, Larry and all the other family members are in my prayers. The birthday party at Covington Care will be at 2:30 p.m. on the 26th. The senior group will go to Boyette's at Reelfoot on the 29th
at 10 a.m. Happy birthday this week goes to Landon Bringle on January 21st, to Tracy Speight and Katelyn Kellow on the 23rd, to Corban Coughlan and Anita Coats on the 25th and to Libby Click on the 26th! Happy belated anniversary to Perry and Sheila Pena on Dec. 31! This week's Farmer's Almanac Quote (for Martin Luther King Day): "Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.” MLK, 1929-1968 What is the word with the most meanings in the English language? UP. For example, at a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP, and why are the officers UP for election? Why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends, brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, warm UP the leftovers then clean UP the kitchen! More later!

Greetings. It’s going to be a short one again due to Monday’s being MLK Jr.’s birthday holiday. Everything’s all good! Prayerfully America has grown up over the years since way back when.

Dr. King preached on things like that and now that he’s gone, it is up to us still here to keep improving
pest of shell and shrapnel that swept the cedar groves…John Gee [of Covington] died like a hero at his post.” Cheatham’s next brigade to attack the Federals was A. P. Stewart’s, including Covington’s “Tipton Rifles,” 4th Tennessee. Following the failed attack of Patton Anderson’s troops up the Wilkinson Pike, Stewart’s 1,635 men “marched in splendid order and with a cheer.” They struck Sheridan a decisive blow, hitting George Robert’s Illinois Brigade. Robert’s was killed and his second in command disabled leaving their men without a commander. The remnants of Sheridan’s division fell back to the Nashville Pike. Robert Mullins of the “Tipton Rifles” was cited for distinguished for valor and later received the Confederate Badge of Honor.

It's a cold Monday night after a somewhat mild weekend. It should be colder tomorrow. We got a little freezing rain last Tuesday but by Thursday it was very nice outside. Thursday Danielle Schlauch and I drove to Jackson for the Tennessee Association of Conversation Districts Winter Meeting. It was a good meeting, a good barbeque lunch and then we were on our way back home. She is doing a great job in the local office and had a good teacher, her mother, Bonnie Holloway, our former secretary. Danielle is going to do well at her job! We were extremely saddened by the news that Carol "Miss Buddie" Young McMahan passed away last week. Her funeral was on Saturday, which was granddaughter Haley Hollingsworth Hall's birthday. But we know she is in a good place now and we take comfort in that. She was a great member of our church and I've known her my whole life. Elaine Shankle, Jimmy and Keith McMahan are in our prayers. She is already missed.

CHS sweeps Brighton
Monumental win Munford senior Kameron Foster breaks some Dyer County pressure and looks for an open man during action Friday night in Munford. Foster and company ended Dyer County's 17-game winning streak and beat the Choctaws for the first time in seven years, 76-70. Photo by Jeff Ireland
Chargers erase early deficit By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com Casual observes would have never suspected that the Brighton Cardinals had only one win on the season as they watched the first two and one half quarters of Saturday’s annual rivalry game with Covington, won by the Chargers 78-61. Brighton (1-20) took an early 6-0 lead only to see the Chargers roar back to take a 26-16 lead at periods’ end, much on the strength of Demetrius Dyson’s 17 first quarter points scored on the way to a game high 27. CHS was up by eight at the break, but saw the Cardinals cut the lead to 38-34 four minutes into the third period. At that point, the Hughes brothers (Tarecus and Chevia) took over, scoring 17 of the Chargers' 24 points in the period. Covington was up by 20 headed to the fourth and was not challenged again. Jericho Williams was the leading Cardinal scorer with 21 points, mostly scored in the paint as the Cardinals employed an up-tempo, slashing-tothe basket style all game. Milton Hardy added 11 for BHS. Tarecus Hughes scored a season-high 18. Jaylin Dyson had 12 points and was a force on the boards at both ends. In the girls contest, Covington’s height and experience were too much for the Lady Cardinals (4-17) as they took a 71-27 loss. Brighton had one point lead at 4-3 before the Lady Chargers used a 20-4 run to put the game away early. CHS led by 37 at the half and primarily used its bench players for the second half. Alaina Bierdz was Brighton’s leading scorer with eight points. Precious Dyson paced the Lady Chargers with 21 points, including 5-of-8 shooting from beyond the 3-point arc. Ashia Jones added 18 points for CHS. In other action: • The South Gibson Hornets had no answers for the Chargers last Thursday as they fell 81-35. Covington began the game with a 14-0 spurt and held the Hornets to single digit scoring in three of four quarters. The speed of the game was too much for the visitors who committed 20 turnovers to a season-low seven for Covington. Demetrius Dyson led all scorers with 22 points. Montel Williams had 11 and Jalen Claybon a season high 10 points. • On Friday, CHS traveled to Gibson County and overwhelmed the Pioneers posting a 79-34 victory. Covington led by 25 at the half. Demetrius Dyson paced the Chargers with a game-high 24 points. Tarecus Hughes and Bobby Shanks pitched SEE CHS, PAGE B2
BHS falls to JNS By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com The Lady Cardinals nearly picked up their first District 13-AAA win of the season Friday night at home. Brighton (4-12 overall, 0-6 district) trailed Jackson North Side 18-6 after one quarter, but rallied to take a lead at the half. North Side finished strong, however, pulling out a 72-68 win in overtime. Brighton senior Alaina Bierdz had one of her best games of the year, finishing with 29 points, three rebounds, two assists and five steals. “This was a tough overtime loss, but the team never quit,” said Brighton coach Kent Cates. “Our team is coming around and we are playing much better. Since Christmas break, we have picked up our scoring by several SEE BHS, PAGE B2
Cougars break through, stop Choctaws By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com With 2:19 left in the third quarter, Munford junior Andrea' Bell converted a 3-point play to put the Cougars ahead of Dyer County 51-46. A boisterous Munford student section started cheering and always animated Cougar coach Butch Hopkins pumped his fist. Dyer County, ranked sixth in the Class AAA state poll and riding a 17game winning streak, tied the game four times down the stretch but never
went ahead as Munford pulled out a 76-70 District 13-AAA win in a packed Munford gym. Munford (11-9 overall, 3-2 district) had a chance to beat Dyer County a month ago in Newbern, but lost 6258. “We have been there every night but one and we ain't finished,” said Hopkins, who coached at Dyer County from 1995 to 2004. “Tonight we finished.” Munford senior Kameron Foster hit a 3-pointer with 2:45 left in the third quarter to put his team ahead 48-46.
With 2:51 left in the game, Dyer County senior Robert Hubbs, a University of Tennessee commitment, scored to tie the game at 62. Munford answered with a 7-0 run that included four points by senior point guard Jonathan Stark and the Choctaws (18-2, 3-1) never got closer than four points the rest of the way. Stark, a UT-Chattanooga commitment who finished with a game-high 25 points, made four straight free throws down the stretch to seal the win. SEE MHS, PAGE B2
Lady Cougars rout DC By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Considering the Lady Cougars eked out a six-point win a month ago in Newbern and Dyer County was a game and a half behind Munford in the District 13-AAA standings, Friday's Munford-Dyer County game should have been a competitive game between the district's top two teams. It wasn't. Munford blitzed Dyer County early with a barrage of 3-pointers and clamped down on defense to win going away, 54-28, and remain undefeated in district play. “We came out much faster
than we have been,” said Munford coach Steve Poindexter, whose team moved to 18-4 overall and 5-0 in the district. “We were making shots from the beginning and getting stops on the defensive end.” Lady Cougar senior Shaliyah Wiggins was hot early. She hit three 3-pointers in the first half and scored 13 of her 15 points. Kierra Richardson hit a pair of 3's in the first quarter and Precious Mills added one from long range as Munford built a 20-6 lead after one quarter and led 36-11 at the half. The third quarter was more of the same as senior Robneisha Lee scored six of her 15 and KiSEE MUNFORD, PAGE B2

in 11 points each. Zach Eskew had 6 points to lead Gibson County. The win was the 200th in his boys coaching career for head coach Dion Real. • The Lady Chargers embarked on a four game in six days challenge against the South Gibson Lady Hornets, looking like anything but a team with an 18-2 record. The first 12 minutes of their 67-34 win last Thursday were filled with 11 turnovers and inability to rebound or hold on to the ball. Defense was not a problem. CHS forced 27 turnovers.

ing. CHS trailed by two at the end of the first period, was tied at 30 at the break and finally took charge in the third period, outscoring Gibson 19-14. Ashia Jones took scoring honors with 25 points. Precious Dyson tossed in 17 for CHS. • Dyersburg came to play on Tuesday night. For a half, Covington did not seem to be interested. The Chargers did not score until the 3:15 mark of the first period, and that one was a 3-pointer by Tarecus Hughes, whose 17 first half points kept CHS in contact with the Hustling Trojans. In the end, the Chargers pulled away to a 74-49 win. For a half, Dyersburg (912, 5-7) looked like worldbeaters. CHS saw its first lead mid-way through the second period at 17-15 and struggled to a 29-27 lead at the break. Tarecus Hughes had his best night as a Charger scoring 21 points to lead the game. Demetrius Dyson kept a string of 20-point games alive with 20 but had to get 10 of them at the line as he was doubled and triple teamed all night. Jaylin Dyson added 10 with a strong effort on the offensive boards. • Dyersburg came calling on Tuesday night and the Lady Chargers were ready.
Covington was sluggish at the outset and sloppy with the ball before finding their game and posting a 70-48 win over the Lady Trojans. CHS never trailed in the contest. Tied at 15 early in the second period, Covington used a 21-4 spurt to take a 17-point advantage to the locker room. The lead would swell to as many as 25 midway in the fourth period as the Lady Chargers length and speed took their toll on
Dyersburg (14-7, 7-5). Precious Harvey ran the point well and matched Ashia Jones’ 17-point total to pace CHS. Precious Dyson added 15.

COMMENTARY
The cup half empty
By RICK HUFFMAN Gilt Edge Church of Christ Many of us are pessimists. We often complain about, well, everything. Our coffee is too hot or too cold, too sweet or too bitter, too much cream or not enough. Our job is too hard or is boring. We are underpaid, overworked and unappreciated. The list of things we complain about is endless and so are the complaints against these things. The proverbial cup is always ”half empty”; we never categorize it as “half full.” Even the weatherman is a pessimist. How many times does he describe the sky as partly cloudy instead of mostly sunny? Why can’t we put things in perspective? Why can’t we see the big picture? None of us has or will suffer as Job did. Job lost his oxen and mules to the Sabeans and all his servants that cared for them except one. Before the servant could finish his report to Job, another came and told him fire from heaven had come down consuming all his sheep and servants except him. While that servant was yet speaking, a third servant came telling that his camels had been captured and servants killed by the Chaldeans. If that were not enough, before the third could finish, a fourth servant came telling that a great wind had come from the wilderness and struck the house where his seven sons and three daughters were, killing all. In the same day, Job lost all his possessions and those most precious to him- his children. How did he respond? Job 1: 20 ¶ Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped, 21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD. Did you catch it? With all the calamity and heartache, he worshipped God. How would we respond? How do peo-
ple today often respond to adversity in their lives? We/They blame God asking, “How can a righteous God let such happen?’ Job’s troubles do not end there. The Lord allows the devil to afflict Job with boils from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. He was in such misery that the only relief he could get was from scraping himself with broken pottery. Even his wife lost faith but not Job. Job 2: 9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die. 10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips. We, like Job, need to realize that in life there is going to be both good and bad. We are going to have mountaintop experiences in life and we are going to have Death Valley lows. No doubt all of us have suffered or will suffer some kind of adversity in this life. It is just a matter of when and what. “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to get.” (Forrest Gump) “I never promised you a rose garden. Along with the sunshine, there's gotta be a little rain sometimes.” (Lynn Anderson-Rose Garden) Generally we prefer sunshine over rain because it limits our activities. How many this past summer longed for rain? Doesn’t the rain only make us appreciate the sunshine more? Don’t bad things in life make us cherish the good even more? Every cloud has a silver lining. Even out of adversity often come blessings. We sometimes say what does not break us (our will and resolve) will make us (stronger). James 1: 2 ¶ My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. Rom. 5:3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

A community bible study on Beth Moore’s “Jesus The One and Only” will take place at 6:30 p.m. on Thursdays from Jan. 31-April 11 at Quito United Methodist Church, 4580 QuitoDrummonds Road. You
It may seem ironic that Jesus says in the beatitudes that one thing that will make us blessed is persecution. By the way the word, blessed, can also be translated “happy.” Matt. 5: 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. Paul underwent almost unbelievable persecution and adversity (II Cor. 11:23-30) but he kept it all in perspective and remained optimistic. Php 4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. A preacher seeing the sad faces and frowns remarked to his audience one Sunday, “You look as if you were weaned on a sour pickle.” Whatever state we are in, we need to be content and thankful. 1Ti 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. Paul did not say that godliness is great gain because we can be godly and still be miserable (if we are like the man of Luke 9:62 who is looking back to the world and longing for the things of the world). Paul said godliness with contentment is great gain. Above all we need to remember that God is in control and will take care of us and bless us regardless of how bleak things may appear. Ro 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. We can always complain about something and never be content if we choose to because there will always be something that is less than perfect in our lives. We need to remember this Persian proverb. “I used to complain I had no shoes until I met a man with no feet.” If it were heaven on earth, what would be the point of heaven?
