Festival formed through tragedy Grovestock Fest is Saturday By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com
Norm Kercher wen through two separate life-changing experiences. Now he's trying to change other people's lives. His vehicle to meet that end is Grovestock Fest, the second annual Kendall and Callie Kercher Memorial Fine Arts Festival, which will be held Saturday at
Holly Grove Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Brighton. In 2009, Kercher's daughter Kendall died in a car wreck at the age of 21. Three years later, his 21-year-old daughter Callie died in a motorcycle accident. “It was horrible trying to live through the death of a child,” said Kercher. “I finally realized it was not just about me. Now I minister to parents who have
lost children … This is a celebration of the time we have with our families, especially our children.” The second edition of Grovestock Fest has a little something for everybody. Twelve bands begin playing at noon, with a lineup headlined by national artists Charlie Hall and Ronnie Twisdale. And there will be plenty of activities for children, from kite-flying to disc golf and other activities. Donations of $10 are requested at the door, but Kercher said he doesn't turn
anybody way. Kercher founded Grovestock Ministries after the death of his first daughter. He has plans to eventually take the event nationwide, mentioning places like Newtown, Conn., and Aurora, Colo., as possible places to expand. “Parents are losing kids all across the country,” Kercher said. “I'm building this ministry to change lives.”

On Wednesday, Feb. 23, 2011, our daughter, Lucy Hannah, was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer. Medulloblastoma.

Upon an MRI, we learned that Lucy had a total of five tumors in her brain, one in her spinal column and a sug-
The Munford High School Band has held a lot of different fundraising events over the years. Most were attended primarily by family and friends of band members. Last year the boosters were looking for something that would have more community-wide appeal. The brainstorming produced the Munford Band Wing Festival. On Saturday at MHS from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., the event will be held for a second time. “We were just trying to find something that have more community involvement,” said Larry Wildes, the booster club president. “It's easy enough to get family members involved. This is something to get everybody involved.” The event is centered around the wing competition, which begins at noon. For a $75 entry fee, contestants will have a chance to win $300 for first place, $150 for second and $75 for third. Whichever team accepts the most donations will SEE WINGS, PAGE A3

Governor releases improvement plan Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam and Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) Commissioner John Schroer today released the three-year transportation program, featuring approximately $1.5 billion in infrastructure investments for 80 individual project phases in 47 counties, as well as 15 statewide programs. Tennessee is one of only five states that do not borrow money to fund transportation projects, and the program continues TDOT’s “pay as you go” philosophy, carrying
no debt for any transportation initiatives. “This program represents a thoughtful, balanced approach to transportation and focuses on expanding economic development opportunities, improving safety and providing important upgrades to our interstate corridors,” Haslam said. “A quality transportation system is critical to our goal of making Tennessee the No. 1 location in the Southeast for high quality jobs as well as the continued growth of the state’s economy.”
The three-year, multimodal program funds several improvements to the interstate system, including the addition of truck climbing lanes, interchange projects and the construction of a three-mile stretch of Interstate 69. The program also provides funding for improved access in several communities, including the construction of a diverging diamond interchange on I-40 at SR 66 in Sevier County and a new interchange on I-65 at Highway 109 on the Rob-
ertson-Sumner County line. This is the first threeyear transportation program developed under the new federal transportation funding bill, MAP21. The bill modifies how transportation dollars are allotted to Tennessee and has a greater emphasis on high volume roads.

While the surgery was largely a success, the doctor was unfortunately not able to remove all the tumors. She suffered a setback several days after surgery when she contracted bacterial Meningitis. After 28 days at LeBonheur Children's Hospital, she was finally transferred to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Lucy began a sixmonth treatment plan of high risk chemotherapy and radiation. Her formal treatment stopped in November of 2011. Unfortunately, things only got worse after treatment. Lucy lost over 15 pounds, dropping to 27 pounds at her lowest. She battled C-Diff, an intestinal disease, which slowly tried to take her life. She had a feeding tube installed and that remained with her for roughly 5 months. In June of 2012, Lucy contracted Meningitis once again, this time taking her to the closest point of death yet. From day one, Lucy has defied the odds. God has proven himself over and over.

GUEST OPINION
Obama’s 2014 budget proposal By TOM VILSACK USDA Secretary This week, President Obama released his budget proposal for the Federal government, including USDA, for Fiscal Year 2014. Today, the Federal budget is more important than ever. The American people expect and deserve a government that operates efficiently and effectively. We must carry out our mission while safeguarding taxpayer dollars. Our USDA employees have worked hard in recent years to manage with fewer resources. The Department’s discretionary budget that funds our operations is lower today than it was in 2009 – but we are still getting the job done. Part of the reason we’ve been able to accomplish this is by managing our budget proactively. We reduced our workforce, closed offices and labs, streamlined IT services and cut travel. These efforts have resulted in savings of more than $700 million in recent years. This week’s budget proposal includes additional targeted savings for USDA. It strikes a balance to keep growing our economy and the middle class, while reducing the deficit in a common-sense and balanced way. It supports President Obama’s commitment to accelerate the economic recovery, to make our nation a magnet for jobs, and to create ladders of opportunity that will help all Americans benefit from economic growth. The proposal also reflects an understanding that there are only so many ways to cut USDA’s operating budget. We’ll keep working hard to find savings, but it’s important to ensure that USDA can keep providing modern service while maintaining the integrity of our programs. In the years ahead we’ll continue to be creative, to think outside the box and to build new partnerships. We’ll balance this with a commitment to further modernize our Department into the future. I’m proud of USDA’s record accomplishments, made alongside efforts to save hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars. I know that we can keep this up, and together we can create even more prosperity in rural America. Tom Vilsack serves as the nation’s 30th Secretary of the Agriculture. As leader of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Vilsack is working hard to strengthen the American agricultural economy, build vibrant rural communities and create new markets for the tremendous innovation of rural America

Capitol review: A wrap-up of legislative news Bills eliminating unnecessary laws Three bills that will eliminate dozens of unnecessary Tennessee laws have been approved by the Tennessee General Assembly this week and will now head to the Governor for his signature. The bills are a result of a summer project that saw House research analysts and legal staff examine portions of the Tennessee Code Annotated relative to their expertise and draft proposals to eliminate laws that were determined to be antiquated or unnecessary. “One thing we hear from our constituents consistently is that there are too many laws on the books,” said House Speaker Beth Harwell. “I directed our staff to review our laws with the purpose of identifying archaic, unnecessary, and outdated language in an effort to ‘clean up the code.’ I sincerely appreciate the hard work of our House research team and legal staff. They spent several months poring over our laws and these three bills were the result.” House Bills 325, 396, and 890 eliminate dozens of laws relating to transportation, finance, and commerce. In several cases, the bills also clarify certain language or delete repetitive or conflicting laws. Statutes pertaining to programs that have since been abolished by the federal government, reports that were assigned to come from entities that no longer exist, and several instances of repetitive language are examples of laws slated to be eliminated. After years of writing and rewriting laws, many THE LEADER

simply become redundant, while others are severely outdated. This effort, lawmakers agree, will streamline state laws and make them easier to interpret for all interested parties. Workers’ compensation reform The Workers’ Compensation Reform Act of 2013, an initiative that is part of Governor Bill Haslam’s legislative agenda for the year, easily passed the House of Representatives this week with a bipartisan vote from state lawmakers. Workers’ Compensation is an insurance program, adopted in Tennessee in 1919, that compensates employees for injuries they suffer on the job. Employers are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance to cover the costs of medical expenses and lost wages of employees when they suffer work-related injuries. As passed, the Workers’ Compensation Reform Act (House Bill 194) reforms the workers’ compensation system in Tennessee to provide more certainty for businesses while also protecting the interests of employees across the state. Once signed by Governor Haslam, HB 194 will reduce the time it takes to receive permanent workers’ compensation benefits and improve injury medical treatment. In addition, the process for resolving workers’ comp disputes will be streamlined, allowing injured workers to receive compensation and return Brian Blackley – Publisher/ General Manager bblackley@covingtonleader.com

to work quicker. According to critics, the current workers’ compensation process in Tennessee is unpredictable, cumbersome for determining benefits, and employees are often unable to receive benefits and return to work in a timely manner. The new reform meets the overall goal of ensuring the most efficient and fair workers’ comp system for both employees and employers. The new system will also help Tennessee become an even more attractive place to work and do business. Pension reform Legislation proposed earlier this month to reform the state’s pension plan, the Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System (TCRS), passed the full House of Representatives this week in Nashville. The legislation represents a proactive approach by State Treasurer David H. Lillard and House lawmakers to ensure the security of pension benefits for current employees, retirees, as well as future employees that will be hired in years to come. The proposed changes, which will only affect new employees hired on or after July 1 of 2014, will change the current defined-benefits system to a hybrid plan that includes elements of defined-benefits and defined-contribution programs. A defined-benefit plan guarantees retirees a fixed pension benefit based on SEE CAPITOL, PAGE A5 Commercial Printing Shane Waits – Manager swaits@covingtonleader.com

body is not going to go to heaven. Yet that truth is not to prevent us from doing all we can to reach the world with the truth of Jesus Christ. If we allow hatred of Muslims or Islam to dominate our attitude how are we going to win them to the Lord? I oppose illegal immigration. It is causing many problems in our country, but we cannot hate those who have broken the law to get here. If we start hating one group, then it will not be long before another group of people draws our ire. Hatred will bring to pass the warning of the Apostle Paul: But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. (Galatians 5:15) Our perspective should be to support our government in the administration of justice to those who commit criminal acts. It must also include a heart of compassion for those trapped by sin. Hating them will not help anyone. May the Lord help us to have a heart “soft as an overripe Georgia peach” for those who are taken captive by their sin and by Satan. It will not prevent us from supporting law and order, but will keep us from being bitter and ethnocentric.

Munford FFA at state
By McKenzie Manning MHS FFA
Nearly 3,000 FFA members from across Tennessee traveled to Gatlinburg for the 85th annual State Convention. While at convention, FFA members were exposed to numerous sessions and workshops along with career fairs and Career Development Events, otherwise known as the competitions. The theme for this year’s convention, “Grow,” was displayed through numerous aspects, such as multiple sessions where members were encouraged to grow through adversity, leadership, passion, and stepping out of their comfort zone. The Munford FFAChapter received the 100% membership award, the Superior Chapter Award, and the Platinum PLOW Award. In addition to the success as a chapter, individual members and teams also did extremely well. Jessie Pyland, Millie Hathcock, Noah Crosley, and McKenzie Manning placed third in the state in the Agriculture Sales competition. Munford’s Parliamentary Procedure team was the state runner up as well. Team members were Alex Cherry, Noah Crosley, Cory Wright, McKenzie Manning, Alyssa Tapley, and Nick Largue. Furthermore, Greenhand Sierra Schulz competed in the creed competition
placing in the top six in the state. Munford’s firstever Agriculture Communication’s team, Elena Smith, Kelsey Lumpkin, and Anna Cooper, placed first in the state and will continue on to the National Competition in the fall to represent the state of Tennessee. Earlier in the year, twelve Munford proficiencies advanced out of West Tennessee and traveled to state. Six members championed in their proficiency areas: Cory Wright in Plant Systems Research; Tara Swirka in Integrated Systems Research; Payton Hendershott in Diversified Agricultural Production; Shelby Simmons in Diversified Livestock Production; Dylan Swirka in Emerging Agricultural Technology; and Hannah Craig in Equine Science. Two members from the Munford chapter, Cory Wright and Tara Swirka, took part in the Agriscience Fair. Each composed a board that displayed the aspects of their project and completed an interview process. Tara Swirka’s agriscience project advanced through the rounds and placed second in the state. Bryson Hambick also represented Munford and West Tennessee as the star in Agribusiness, through his Landscaping Company. Two senior members of the chapter received generous college scholarships
through sponsors of the Tennessee FFA Foundation. Elena Smith received a scholarship through Farm Credit while Jessie Pyland received the Kenneth K. Mitchell scholarship. In addition, numerous members received their State FFA Degrees at this year's convention. To receive a State Degree, a member must be active for at least two years as well as complete 360 hours of systematic school instruction in Ag Education, including a supervised agriculture experience, among other qualifications. Those who received their state degree were Elena Smith, Jessie Pyland, Tara Swirka, Shelby Simmons, Abbey Lenegar, Paul Wortham, Nick Largue, Bryson Hambick, Lauren Agcanas, Haley Kitselman, and Samantha Beel. The final highlight of the trip was the naming of graduate member, Jeff Rogers, as Vice President of West Tennessee. After weeks of dedicated and stressful preparation, he earned the coveted spot of a state office. Munford is very proud of Jeff for achieving this great accomplishment. Munford represented Tipton County extremely well on the State level as well as West Tennessee as a whole. State Convention was a phenomenal experience where all learned how “grow” through leadership.
FFA The Horticulture team placed second in West Tennessee and the Nursery team third in competition at Jackson State on April 11, advancing them to state competition. Horticulture members are Molly Flanagan, Ebonee Woodland Daysha Murcheson and Amber Smith. Nursery members are Kayla Fisher, Sam Daniel, Trevor Dych and Chase Murray.

tasks increasingly longer each time. Examples include chores, homework, games, etc. Self-assurance Recognize what your child is doing well by telling them and showing off their work. Tell your child to try their best and to practice over and over what they want to accomplish. Let your child know that a good education is important to you and your family. Exercise Physical activity releases “feel good” hormones in the brain; it calms nervous energy; it relieves muscle tension; it heightens alertness. Encourage your children to spend a minimum of 15 - 20 minutes a day in active physical exercise of some sort. Role Model
• Provide a positive parental attitude to promote a “can do” student attitude • Don't be overly anxious about test scores, but encourage your child to take tests seriously and to try their best • Remind your child that tests do not determine the outcome of their future • Tests are a tool and like any tool, the more you use it, the easier it gets • Ask the teacher how you can help your child at home to support learning.

TCAP testing is April 22-26, and SAT 10 (for grades K-2) is April 29May 2. Asked how their students are preparing, Dr. Courtney Fee, Assistant Principal of Munford High School, exclaimed, “We are in boot camp mode!! For the month prior to the TCAPs, we work to ensure the students are very aware that we need them focused and present. It’s very important for them to do their absolute best.” Dr. Rebekah Byrd, Principal at Atoka Elementary, states, “We’ve been preparing all year for the TCAPs. We feel it’s an opportunity to show how much our students have learned. I’m confident our test results will reflect the great instruction and learning that have occurred throughout the year.” “All students have used TCAP practice books in preparation with their teachers. We’ve had “Saturday School” since December for those children in grades 3, 4, and 5 who might need extra help,” replied Ms. Anne Adams, Principal at Crestview Elementary. Ms. Adams continued, “Every day from 2:15 to 2:40 p.m., we have extra folks work with children on skills that haven’t been mastered. On Thursday, the 11th, there will be an open house with an art show, a performance by the choir, and we will be providing the parents with TCAP testing tips. On Friday, April 19th, we will have a TCAP pep rally, featuring Captain Magic Valentino Willis from the Globetrotters. It’s a great way to pump up the students!” Below are some helpful tips for parents to assist your child to succeed in school and on test days: Feed them Our brains need fuel to operate. On test days, a good breakfast is very important. Students who eat a good breakfast have better focus and attention.
Yearbooks The year is coming to a close and yearbook sales with them. The 2013 yearbook is $75. See Mrs. Warmath for details.

Tipton County and the Civil War: April 1863 By Russell Bailey Tipton County Historian During the first two weeks of April 1863, Colonel Michael K. Lawler and 500 mounted men of the 18th Illinois Infantry and Col. Fielding Hurst’s 1st West Tennessee Union Cavalry “hunted rebels and guerillas” south of the Hatchie in Haywood, Tipton, Shelby and Fayette Counties. Lawler’s Federals skirmished with Confederates at Dancyville on the 3rd. At Stanton Depot a detachment of 60 soldiers were stationed for three days to force the local citizens to swear allegiance to the United States. James Knox Gibson of Stanton recalled: “One Sunday afternoon I went to preaching in the (Baptist)…While in church someone said ‘The Yankees are coming!” That broke up the meeting. Tom Nelson and Nat Kimbrough were there; they got away before the Yankees got to the church. Capt. (F.W.) Chaney and wife and Gibson rode down ‘stingy lane’ and there met the Federals…A Colonel Hurst, a homemade Yankee from McNairy County was very mean. He captured three young men that were staying at Mr. George Ware’s. He claimed them to be spies but they were not. He had them shot near the Bridge on the Covington Road. The Bridge was over Little Muddy. Mr. J. B. Somervell had their coffins made. He had their bodies brought to the old Wesley Church when they were kept one night and the next day he had them buried near the church where they now rest.” A soldier of the 18th Illinois wrote: “Proceeded to Covington, Tenn., where Colonel Lawler established a "Post", and, as Commander, required citizens to come in and take the oath. Capt. (Charles H.) Reed, of Co. E. was sent towards Randolph (April 5th)… with a squad, to find out the doings
of the rebels, and was killed by a shot from a thicket as he was returning. A rebel prisoner he had in charge was also killed by the same volley.” From April 4-8, the Federals were encamped at Covington and scoured the surrounding country confiscating bacon, flour, hay, horses, mules, etc. Salt for food and preserving meat were especially scarce commodities. Yankees visited the plantations of R. S. Barret, Benjamin F. Locke, Alexander M. Owen, Edmund Strange (at Gift), Mrs. Mary L. Taylor, and others, taking what they wanted. W. V. Byars remembered Federal officers ordering the citizens that had flour to bake bread for the soldiers, but “they were happy to settle for lardless loaves—lardless because only the razorback, lean, fleet, and wary as a fox, could survive the requisitions of both sides (Union and Confederate) by taking to the deepest woods.” Byars noted that coffee was unobtainable and some families made a substitute from sweet potato fragments (cut into small cubes then dried in the sun and finally parched). Other coffee substitutes were made from blackberry leaves and sassafras roots. Liza Culbreath, a slave on one of the Taylor plantations at Mason recalled Federal soldiers sharing their left-overs with them. (Their regular plantation diet during the war consisted of “fat meat and cornbread, with a small ration of flour twice a week per family.” W. V. Byars remembered the price of items that county residents paid in 1863: “Calico was selling for $7.00 a yard; shoes for $80.00 a pair; cotton thread, $3.00 a spool; sugar, $7.50 a small keg; jeans, $6.50 a yard; and common shoe blacking, $4.00 a box.” “Federals in Tipton County” continued next week

Elaine Watkins It's a very warm Monday night. Highs in the 70's today, as well as tomorrow, then storms (squall line) Wednesday and back in the 54's for a few days. Here we go with the sinuses! This week's Farm Report: We did a little more spraying while the wind was down this morning then we planted corn. We’re working on our second farm now, almost ready for the third. Prayers for rain this year! I had a Tennessee Area of Conservation Districts Directors' meeting in Jackson last Wednesday. Elizabeth and Lyla took me, and then ate and rode around downtown while I had the meeting. Afterwards, we all went to see my dad, Kenneth Weir. He was doing fine

Debe Simonton Hello my friends, Hope everyone has had an opportunity to get out in this beautiful weather we have been having!! As we all know it is subject to change in just a couple of days. And if the pollen drives you crazy, as it does most of us, PUT ON A MASK!!! I tell Neal that all the time because he is very sensitive to pollen and it aggravates his asthma. But you can probably guess if he listens to me. Well another scary bombing has taken place

and I think he knew me, but he called Lyla his granddaughter, so that was great! Lastly, we shopped and got back to town just in time for church. Elizabeth and Lyla ate Chinese with us afterward. Good day! On Thursday, there was a good little rain. James had a dentist appointment and I got a perm from Courtney Gurley. Glad she's in Covington now! James and I also made our weekly trip to see the baby chicks at the new farm store on the highway. They won't be there much longer though. The ducks were already gone! Liz, Lyla, and I drove to Memphis to the Spring Market at the Agricenter on Friday, and then Courtney and I went back on Sunday. Lots of fun with the girls! Also Friday night was Dinner and Movie Night and seven of us ate sup-
per then saw "The Host". My second time - great alien love story! Then we got frozen yogurt! Especially in my prayers is Sam Stitt. He received bad news about his health and needs your prayers. Also Tony Johnston, Lee's brother, needs prayers, along with John Henderson, Jeff Hanks, Larry Whaley II, Sue Bringle, Linda Grant, and so many others, and all our servicemen and women. Happy birthday this week goes to Denise Cartwright on April 8th, to Sherri Kidd on the 9th, to Elizabeth Harrell on the 11th, and to Bonita Rogers and Corey Cartwright on the 12th. Also to Terri Barber on the 9th and to Gary Steele and Skip Baskin on April 11th! Elizabeth is getting a Lemon Cream cake for her birthday (Olive Garden recipe!).
My sincere sympathy is with our minister, Mike Rogers, and his family, in the death of his cousin, Robert Michael Rogers. He was driving a truck out West, had a third heart attack, wrecked his semi and was killed. He and Mike were very close. They are in Kentucky now awaiting his funeral. That family is in my prayers. Also sympathy goes to Frank Brown in the death of his only sister, Bessie Fortenberry. She lived in Arkansas and was 92 years old. That family is in my prayers also. This week's Farmer's Almanac Quote: "Plow deep while sluggards sleep and you will have corn to sell or keep" Benjamin Franklin. Enjoy all the trees that are blooming everywhere - beautiful! Azaleas can't be far behind! Until next week . . .
in our country. So many innocent lives lost, hurt, and forever affected. All we can do is pray and when we finish pray some more. We have some very sick people in our community. Please put these people on your church prayer list as well as pray for them yourself. Tony Johnston, Sam Stitt, Charlie Moss, Gary Bilderback, Lori Butler, Freida Travis, Joy Hill, and Martha McQuiston. These are a few that I am aware of. Please let me know if I need to include any others in my column. I'd be happy to. Neal's Aunt Margaret
Tanner Ingram passed away last week. She was his Mother's sister. She was one of the two siblings left. Now his Uncle Wayne Tanner is left as the only one out of the group. All the cousins were there. It's a shame families seem to only get together during times like these. If only we had more time or made time to visit with each other. I remember when I was a kid, my grandparents were always enjoying visitors. Mostly they seemed to come to visit on Sundays. But I can recall all the stories they would tell and stories about each other too.
They had such fun. We will miss Aunt Margaret. Brighton is doing the Memorial flower baskets again this year. If you need an information form or need any other information please contact Brighton City Hall. If you didn't know, last year residents sponsored hanging baskets that were displayed all over town. They were done in memory of a loved one. They were also jointly displayed by Oaklawn Garden Center. Hope everyone enjoys their week and make it a safe one. Love to all, Debe

By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com The Lady Chargers opened the week at Ripley, posting a 9-2 district win. Gabby Glenn ran her season record to 9-2 allowing five hits, a walk and two hit batters to go with six strikeouts. Neely Glenn led the way at the plate with three singles, Lyndsey Ashburn added a double and a single and Jasmine Brown had 3 RBIs. Nine varsity and six JV teams made up the field for the Covington Invitational held last weekend and won by the Munford Lady Cougars. Coach Martha Lawler expressed her thanks to all the hard working parents, grandparents and students who did so much to make the tourney a success. Covington opened pool play downing the Lady Cougars 1-0 with an unearned run in the bottom of the seventh. Ashburn reached on a two-out error and came around to score on a long ball over the right fielder's head off the bat of Brown. Gabby Glenn got the win to improve to 10-2. “We played a great defensive game," Lawler said. Gabby Glenn notched her 11th win of the year with a 3-2 decision over the Brighton Lady Cardinals in game two of pool play. She tossed a three hitter and added a solo home run to help her own cause. Dyersburg dropped the Lady Chargers 3-2 in game three on Saturday morning with three unearned runs in the sixth inning. Hannah Clifton (5-1) took the loss despite allowing only two hits. CHS slipped by Ripley 1-0 in the quarterfinal round with small ball. Ashburn singled, stole second and went to third on a hit by Ryleigh Deverell and scored on a grounder to first, barely beating the throw home. Gabby Glenn improved to 12-2 with a two-hitter. The tourney ended for Covington with an 8-1 drubbing at the hands of Munford in the semifinals. Clifton saw her record fall to 5-2. Gabby Glenn’s solo homer produced CHS’ only run.

Lady Cardinals finish second in annual tournament By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com After going winless in pool play Friday and Saturday at the Covington Invitational Softball Tournament, Munford was far from a favorite to win the tournament. But they did just that, dispatching Covington in the semifinals and Brighton in the title game to claim the tournament crown. “Who would have thought it,” said Munford head coach Glenn Goulder. “We've been hitting the ball well lately, and of course having Sami back helps.” Senior Sami Jo Schulz, a University of Memphis signee who has missed most of the season with a hip injury, returned to play earlier this week to give the team a
boost. Schulz didn't play in the tournament, but Munford managed to prevail anyway. In the title game, Jodie Duncan came up with an RBI single in the fifth inning that gave Munford a 3-2 win. Sam Scott got the pitching win, striking out five and scattering seven hits. Brighton starter Becky Judy held Munford to three hits, but took the loss. Laura Judy was 2 for 3 for Brighton with a double. Munford defeated Covington 8-1 in the semifinals. Tara Comer was 3 for 3 and pitched a four-hitter. Duncan tripled home a run and Alex Stanford drove in two runs. “Hopefully,” said Goulder, “this will get us back on track.”

Cougars, Cards split a pair of district games By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com
By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com Friday’s game against Brighton at Chandler Field featured everything that any competition between the two rivals contains. A vocal crowd on both sides, spirited chippy play in the field and plenty of excitement for the fans kept it going in the 7-4 CHS win. CHS jumped on top against Cardinal starter Colton Hathcock. He was cruising along in the third inning when Carlos Williams singled and stole second, the first of two in the game. T.A. Watson walked and Hathcock loaded the bases by hitting Tommy Beasley with a 0-2 fastball. Brad Walker walked to score Williams, Watson came in on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Kirk Winberry and Beasley came home with the third run on a double steal. Walker started for CHS and went 4.1 innings before being relieved. He held the Cardinals scoreless through four innings, allowing only two singles, but the wheels came off in the fifth when the
In action Monday night, Munford picked up a key District 13-AAA win with a 5-4 victory over Brighton. Schulz, Stanford, Tori Ray and Alex Turner each singled in the first inning and Duncan doubled as Munford jumped out to a 4-0 lead. Comer struck out three batters in seven innings to earn the win. Lulu Smith led Brighton (15-3) with a pair of hits and McCallie Ruffin singled and homered in the seventh inning. Becky Judy took the loss. Munford (22-7 overall, 5-1 district) hosts Arlington tonight at 6:30. In other action: • Covington defeated Munford 1-0 in the tourney opener. Comer took the loss and Christina

Cardinals scored four runs (three earned) to take a 4-3 lead. Brighton’s Jared Webb, Matt Scott and Colby Poston connected on consecutive singles to load the sacks. Bentley Jones followed with a double into the left filed gap to plate two runs and Ladarius Williams followed with a fifth hit to score Jones. That chased Walker for reliever Matt Folk, who stopped the rally with consecutive strikeouts. Folk (2-0) got the win in relief blanking the Cardinals in the
sixth. The Chargers bounced back with a four-run sixth inning to take Walker off the hook and gain control. Stephen Cook led off with a walk and moved to second on a perfect drag bunt, infield single by Skylar Ramsey. Montel Williams walked to load the bases and chase Hathcock. Ryan Price came on in relief. Carlos Williams singled to drive in Cook and tie the score. Watson followed with a sacrifice fly to SEE CHARGERS, PAGE B2
Munford and Covington faced off for a pair of key District 13-AAA baseball games on Monday and Tuesday, with both teams looking to make up some ground in the league standings. Brighton won the first game at home 8-3 and were looking to finish off a sweep on Tuesday in Munford. But the Cougars (13-11 overall, 1-5 district) had other ideas, pulling out a 4-3 win. With Tuesday's game tied at 3-3 in bottom of the sixth, Munford took advantage of a Brighton error to push the winning run across. Jase Hutchison led Munford's attack with a single, double and RBI. Josh Hibbard struck out five over 5.2 innings for Munford. Zach Walker pitched the final inning and a third to pick up the win. Kolton Childress led Brighton (13-14 , 3-3) with a pair of doubles and Ladarius Williams singled twice and drove in two runs. Colby Poston also had two hits for the Cardinals. In game one, Brighton scored seven runs in the third inning to erase a 2-0 deficit. Nate Newman held Munford to six hits and struck out two in a complete-game effort for Brighton. Caleb Armour drove in three runs for the Cardinals, Williams doubled and Colton Hathcock was 2 for 2 with a triple. Ryan Haynes had a pair of hits for Munford and Brandon Young and J.C. Trobaugh each drove in a run. Jessee Charles took the loss for Munford.

Alumni game is May 3 By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com
Lee Downing isn’t sure if it’s an attempt at humor or it’s dead serious. Right there on the player sign-up form for the Brighton-Covington Alumni Football Game are the following words: “If you don’t have health insurance, we do not recommend you play.” “I’d say that’s good advice,” said Downing, kind of joking and kind of not. Downing, the Covington Gridiron Association’s president, is one of the organizers of this inaugural event, which will be held May 3 at 7:30 p.m. at the CHS football field. And yes, as the sign-up form suggests, there won’t be any flags to pull. The players will don pads and helmets and there will be tackling. “We’re looking at as a regular Friday night football game,” Downing said. The event is a fundraiser for both schools. Tickets are $10 each, but only the proceeds from tickets sold in advance will go to the football programs. Money from tickets at the gate go to the company that is helping organize the fund-
raiser. Tickets can be purchased from any Covington Gridiron member or at several locations around Covington, including the county trustee’s office. Brighton assistant principal Brian Crowson also has tickets for sale. Collin Pinner and Marlon Heaston will serve as coaches for Covington. Felix Fayne will be coaching and playing for the Cardinals. Players from the recent and distant past are expected to compete in the game. Some notable players on the Covington list include standout running backs Tyrone Smith (class of 1998), Antonio Gaines (2003) and Colliar Robinson (2012). Brighton’s roster hasn’t been released yet. Downing, who is 47 and graduated from Covington in 1983, is also playing. He’ll line up at guard beside his son, Walt Downing, class of 2012. “Right now I’m the oldest player on the roster,” Downing said. “I figured it’d be cool to play along side my son … I’m not sure how long I’ll play though.” There’s one thing, however, he’s sure of: He has health insurance.
CHS soccer, track and field roundup By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com Despite dropping their fourth game of the year to Trenton Peabody 4-0 on April 8, CHS first-year head coach Jerry Johnson sees better days ahead for Covington soccer. “Based on this week’s results, I think the whole team is improving,” he said. “Everyone is playing with more heart and hustle and picking it up to compliment our two most experienced players, Bobby Van Cleve and Daniel Joy.” Covington forged 1-1 ties in their two matches in the past week against South
Fulton and South Gibson. Bobby Van Cleve scored both goals in the games. Covington’s record stands at 1- 4-2 overall and 1-2-1 in district play. In track action: The Charger track teams have had a rough spring. It is not that they have been performing poorly; it is that they have been unable to perform due to terrible weather on meet days. They did manage to get in one meet on April 9 at Millington, making some noise with both teams. Trey Wilson turned the hat trick placing first in the shot put as well as the 100 and 200 meters.
Latreveon Williams took third in the discus as did Shaquille Foster in the 3,200 meters. The mens 4 x 200 meter relay team added a first place finish for good measure. On the ladies side of the ledger, Cyeisha Hall and Alexis Johnson finished first and second in the 1,600 meters. Johnson placed third in both the high and long jumps. Tamara Perry took second and Shamiah Gaines third in the 100 meter dash. Perry also finished third in the 200 meter dash. Kate Armstrong and Kaitlyn Poole ran personal bests in the 3,200 meter run.
Chargers Continued from B1
right, scoring Ramsey. Walker delivered the coup de gras with a two-run double to left. Jake Durham came on in the seventh and pitched around a pair of walks to earn the save. CHS visits Brighton tonight at 6:30. They will host former head coach Geno Miller and his Lone Oak (Ky.) team tomorrow night at 7 and then travel to Jackson Christian for an
11 a.m. game on Saturday. In other action: • Covington blanked the Millington Trojans 7-0 on Tuesday behind the 3 hit-pitching of John Hayden Bowers (2-0). He struck out nine and walked one to get the win. Beasley had 3 singles. Dalton Carlton had a breakout game at the plate with a pair of hits and five RBIs.

Boxers bring home titles By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Covington Boxing Club’s fighters won three MidSouth Golden Gloves titles and three runner-ups over the weekend in Little Rock. Cory Culver won the novice 125-pound title and Deshun Harvey won the 14-15-year-old, 165-pound title. Anthony Campbell took first in the 178-pound division and for the sixth time will advance to National Golden Gloves Tournament in Salt Lake City later this month. The runners-up were Tyronza Boyd (novice 156), Octavis Suggs (novice 178) and Davian Rudd (open 123). “The competition was tough and some of our guys were there for the first
time,” said Covington coach Jimmy Glover. “We know there is still a lot to improve on, but the kids are working hard and getting better all the time.” The boxers are now preparing for the Junior Olympics to be held later this
month. Glover said he will enter six or seven boxers in the event. “This is also a tough tournament that we will have to prepared for if we are going to compete with these guys,” Glover said.

Forrester admitted to American College of Trial Lawyers T. D. Forrester has become a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, one of the premier legal associations in America. The induction ceremony at which T. D. Forrester became a Fellow took place recently before an audience of approximately 615 persons during the recent 2013 Spring Meeting of the College in Naples, Florida. Founded in 1950, the College is composed of the best of the trial bar from the United States and Canada. Fellowship in the College is extended by invitation only and only after careful investigation, to those experienced trial lawyers who have mastered the art of advocacy and whose professional careers have been marked by the highest standards of ethical conduct, professionalism, civility and collegiality. Lawyers must have a minimum of fifteen years trial experience before they can be considered for Fellowship.
Membership in the College cannot exceed one percent of the total lawyer population of any state or province. There are currently 5,879 members in the United States and Canada, including active Fellows, Emeritus Fellows, Judicial Fellows (those who ascended to the bench after their induction) and Honorary Fellows. The College strives to improve and elevate the standards of trial practice, the administration of justice and the ethics of the trial profession. Qualified lawyers are called to Fellowship in the College from all branches of trial practice. They are carefully selected from among those who customarily represent plaintiffs in civil cases and those who customarily represent defendants, those who prosecute accused of crime and those who defend them. The College is thus able to speak with a balanced voice on important issues affecting the legal profession and the administration of justice.
T. D. Forrester has been practicing in Covington, Tipton County, Tennessee and surrounding counties for 37 years. The newly inducted Fellow is an alumnus of The University of Memphis School of Law.

Former Covington High School standout C.J. Browder took a circuitous route to the University of South Carolina-Beaufort softball team. Now that she’s at the NAIA softball power, she’s making a name for herself. After graduating from Covington in 2010, she signed with Union University before moving on to Northwest Florida State in 2012. Last August she enrolled at South Carolina Beaufort and has been a huge reason why her team was 33-3 and ranked among the top teams in the nation in NAIA. Through Monday,

Browder was hitting .469 with 15 home runs and 57 RBIs. She was recently named the Sun Conference’s Player of the Week for the fourth time this season after going 5 for 15 with three home runs and seven RBIs.
No other player has earned the award more than once. USCB head coach Ty Rietkovich recruited her to Beaufort after hearing about, but not seeing, her skills. “She had a reputation for being exactly what
you see here,” Rietkovich said. “The word I got on her has come true. She’s a good player and she fits in well. She’s provided some pop and defensively she’s been a cornerstone for us on the infield.” With several games still to play, Browder, who plays shortstop, has already set career highs in home runs and RBIs. Browder says there are a lot of differences between high school and college softball. “It’s like night and day,” Browder said. “I think the biggest difference is the intensity and the detail. In high school you knew of your opponent and their record and you showed up to play on that day. The difference
in college is you know every detail about your opponent down to how they tie their shoes.” Browder had plenty of success at Covington. Her senior year she helped Covington advance all the way to the Class AA state title game. She still remembers all the coaches who helped her along the way. “Every coach I had from when I was four all the way to coach (Martha) Lawler at CHS all had something great to offer that helped me through my journey to where I’m at now,” Browder said. “I am thankful for every single one of them and all their time and effort they
put in … Being apart of a quality high school team like CHS helped me better adjust to all the demands of college.” Browder doesn’t make it back home very often, but she knows her friends and family in Tipton County are behind her. “I don’t actually get to come home a lot at all but I know when I do, or if I ever need something from any of my friends or old teammates, I know they would be there, just like I would be for them,” Browder said. “That’s something we always had at CHS is family. You’ll never forget your teammates. Once a Charger, always a Charger.”
