Atoka gets $1.1M safe room grant By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com City leaders made a big announcement on Tuesday – Atoka has received a $1.1 million grant to build a safe room. The 9,000 square foot facility will be able to house more than 1,300 people in an emergency and will be the new home of the Atoka Police Department, said Town Administrator Brian Koral. "It's one of the first safe rooms in the state to be ap-
proved as a multi-use facility," he said. "It's a building that will be in use every day." The facility, funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA) and a local cash match, will be designed to withstand an earthquake and the 250 miles per hour wind speeds of an F-4 tornado. "It will be able to stand up to almost anything we'll see here," Koral said.
He also said the city will be required to pay some of the cost because the entire facility – such as HVAC areas and the server room – cannot be used to house residents during an emergency. Final details of its planned use are still undecided, but Koral said city leaders plan to open it up in the event of a tornado or severe storm warning. "You really don't want people driving for 30 minutes if they're in imminent danger
of a tornado." The facility will not be used for long-term housing in the event of a disaster, but will only be for short-term use. Koral said five square feet of space is allocated per person and the safe room will also accommodate people in wheelchairs and those who are bedridden. The building will be part of the town's master plan for municipal offices, a plan that includes a possible move for the public works facilities and
a facelift for the existing Town Hall structure. "This is just a piece of the larger project," he said. The safe room will likely be located behind Town Hall on Atoka-McLaughlin. "We have a three-year time limit, which isn't a tight timeline itself, but there are other factors involved in the master plan." City leaders formally accepted the grant in Nashville Monday.

Ceremony plants colors for event By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Several local veterans were honored last Friday at Patriot Park in Covington as the Covington Exchange Club kicked of its “A Field of Flags” program with a ceremony. “Overall, the response was tremendous,” said Jeff Phillips, the Exchange Club's secretary and organizer of the event. “We learned some things we'll do different next year, but it was a great event.” Lt. Commander Bill Jim Davis, retired from the U.S. Navy, planted in a flag in honor of World War II veterans. Lt. Junior Grade Frank McBride (U.S. Navy, retired) represented the Korean War and Master Sgt. Kelly Hanson (U.S. Air Force, retired) represented the Vietnam War.

tion Enduring Freedom. Samara Tate of Scout Troop 43009 in Ripley and Staff Sgt. Shane Perry placed flags in honor of all veterans. A display of American flags with each flag representing the life of a patriot will be presented, whether it be a war veteran, active military personnel, National Guard member, reservist, firefighter or law enforcement officer who serves in our community today, or in memory of those who have served in the military of their country, or someone who has lost their life in the line of duty. For each person honored or remembered, an American flag will be placed bearing the honoree’s name and the donor’s name. Each flag will be three by five feet in size and attached to an eight-foot flag pole. Flags will fly Nov.1-14 to celebrate the Veteran’s Day holiday at the following locations: Atoka, Brighton, Covington, and Munford. The flag will be the property of the donor after Nov. 14. The cost of the flag will be $25. For more information, contact any Exchange Club member or the Carl Perkins Center at 476-1515. The deadline is Oct. 26.
Above, Samara Tate helps place a flag during the Field of Flags ceremony at Patriot Park Friday in Covington. ► HONOR YOUR VETERAN The Leader is currently accepting photo submissions for its annual "Salute to Veterans" section. See more details on page A3.
Early voting in the November general election started yesterday in Tipton County and will continue until Nov. 1. The Tipton County Election Commission Office, located at 113 East Church St. in Covington, and the Munford Municipal Board Room at 70 College St., will be open for voters Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays (8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.), Tuesdays and Thursdays (8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.) and Saturdays (8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.). Neil Bell, Tipton County's administrator of elections, said early voting is becoming more and more popular. “We do encourage people to vote early,” Bell said. “Frankly, it relieves a lot of stress on us on election day … On election day, there are usually long lines in the morning, at noon and about 5 or 5:30 when people get off work. Those are the busiest times.” Several district lines were redrawn recently, which could be another reason for people to take advantage of early voting. “You know, some people don't like the redrawn district lines,” Bell said, noting that the percentage of people who vote earlier increases every election. “You can go to Covington or Muford and it's easier on everybody.” The race for president is of course garnering the most attention as the Nov. 6 election nears. But there are also a lot of local races on the ballot for Tipton County voters to consider. Incumbent Brighton Mayor Jeff Scott is being challenged by Earl Kinney Bridges. Five people – Sarah Crocker, Phillip Mathis, Melissa Sartain, George Smith and James Wyatt – are running for four Brighton alderman slots in Brighton. In Covington, there will be a contested race for District 1 alderman between incumbent Shelvie Rose and Minnie Bommer, who ran for mayor several years ago. Down in Atoka, Walker Adams, Brett Giannini, Bobby Hutchison, Richard Kiphut, Chris McConnell and Bradley Ross are running for three alderman seats. SEE VOTING, PAGE A3

Raises proposed for Covington mayor, board By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Covington Mayor David Gordon and the Covington aldermen will be getting a raise if an ordinance that passed on first reading earlier this month passes twice more in the coming weeks. The ordinance, which would boost Gordon's annual salary from $55,000 to $75,000 and aldermen's monthly pay from $400 to $600, passed on first reading Oct. 8 at the Board of Mayor and Aldermen's bi-monthly meeting. “It (the raise) wasn't expected by me,” Gordon said when reached for comment yesterday. “They (the aldermen) said they wanted to do it to get it in line with cities like Brownsville.” Gordon also said the aldermen cited the fact that several people who work for the city currently have higher salaries than the mayor. Covington Fire Chief Jerry Craig
($62,358), Public Works Director Robert Simpson ($60,840), Water Quality Division Head Harvey Wilson ($60,195) and Recorder/Treasurer Tina Dunn ($59,800) are among the city's employees who make more than the mayor. The ordinance will have to pass readings on Oct. 23 and Nov. 13 before it is passed. In other matters: • Officials from Applebee's, which is scheduled to open in Covington in December, requested to have the hours during which alcohol can be sold changed. An ordinance passed on first reading Oct. 8 that will change last call from 1 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. and closing time from 1:30 to 2 a.m. • Gordon said the city recently received a $250,000 state park and recreation grant. He said plans to utilize the money will be discussed at the board meeting on Oct. 23.

Locals compete in cage matches By JESSICA COOKE jcooke@covingtonleader.com Fisher’s Bang Gym of Horn Lake, Miss., hosted a local mixed martial arts cage fighting event Saturday night which featured Covington fighters Daniel Byram and Ahmad Sanders of Jere Mason’s High Octane Fighting Championship team. Byram, with a record of 2 wins and 2 losses, competed for the Bang Fighting Championship Lightweight title against Bang’s own Zach “Arkansas” Wallace, who held a win-loss record of 5-4. The title fight was a short match. The more experienced Wallace was able to catch Byram in a triangle choke. Instead of getting both arms free
of the hold, Byram left one arm in and became trapped, thus ending the fight and allowing Wallace to keep his title. Byram admitted he knew the proper technique but was unable to execute it. “I got caught not paying attention,” he said. “I’ve just got to start having better muscle memory.” High Octane owner and coach Jere Mason said Byram has a lot of talent, and the fight was a good experience for him. The second fight featuring Team High Octane was also in the Lightweight division. Ahmed Sanders, with 1 win and no losses, decided only days before the event to participate.
Sanders usually fights in a lower weight class, but volunteered for the experience when opponent Chase Mann, of Memphis Judo and Jiu-Jitsu, was scheduled to be unopposed. Sanders’ fight lasted the full three rounds. He maintained enough technique and endurance to last through the rounds, but in the end Sanders was simply overpowered due to Mann’s greater size and strength. “I’m just glad to be able to compete,” said a very black-and-blue Sanders. “I’m a very competitive person and even though I didn’t get the win, I got experience out of it. Hopefully I’ll be able to learn from it and move forward.”

GUEST EDITORIAL
What really works in improving student achievement By JAMIE WOODSON State Collaborative on Reforming Education Tennessee is making important strides in improving public education, but often we don’t recognize what is happening inside classrooms, schools, and school districts to realize success. Fortunately, there are important proof points in our state for what works. These best practices were evident in the schools and districts represented at the 2012 SCORE Prize event, which took place this past week in front of teachers, principals, parents, and students at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam, former U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, and award-winning singer/songwriter Phil Vassar all helped recognize schools and school districts in Tennessee that have most dramatically improved student achievement. From strong leadership and effective teaching to interventions and student tracking, the success can be seen in the data. Covington High School, part of Tipton County Schools and the SCORE Prize high school winner, has a three-year TVAAS average of 50.7 in algebra I, meaning the school is helping its students make tremendous gains in that subject. The school also increased its collegegoing rate by 10 percent from 2009 to 2010, the latest year for which data are available. SCORE Prize district finalist Tipton County Schools has an ACT average of 20, meaning the school is helping its students prepare for postsecondary. The school has a 58 percent pass rate on Advanced Placement exams and a 62 percent college-going rate. While the Prize winners receive monetary awards, the most impactful part of the recognition is the opportunity to highlight best practices and learn from the winners and finalists about what works. There are four clear themes and practices that all SCORE Prize winners exhibit: •Focus on great teaching. All SCORE Prize winners have placed an emphasis on recruiting, supporting and retaining effective teachers. Teachers are given leadership positions, provided with professional learning opportunities and given chances to collaborate and plan. For example, Tipton County Schools offers competitive pay with neighboring Memphis City and Shelby County to ensure they attract and retain effective teachers. •Strong school leadership. Each SCORE Prize winner has an effective instructional leader in the building. These principals are not simply building managers. They are in classrooms, supporting teachers and offering encouragement, guidance, and vision. Covington’s principal, Peggy Murdock makes smart decisions about how best to allocate resources – both human capital and financial – to help prepare students for life. . •High standards and expectations. A clear theme at each school is high standards. Teachers and administrators have high expectations for students, and regardless of socio-economic status or background, believe all can achieve at high levels. Students at SCORE Prize finalist schools set their own goals for high performance and are provided with needed supports, such as tutoring and daily opportunities for intervention and enrichment. In Tipton County, educators have set the expectation that they are preparing their students not only to be successful in Tennessee, but to be globally competitive. •Smart use of data. Finally, the schools and districts are using student data to guide and drive instruction in the classroom. They know that good data can be used to assess student understanding of content and provide teachers and parents with the tools they need to support students. Many teachers track student progress, share it with students and parents, and make informed decisions about teaching based on that information. We have tremendous work to do before every Tennessee student graduates high school prepared for college and the workforce. But the lessons learned from the 2012 SCORE Prize winners and finalists highlight the fact that Tennessee’s significant efforts to improve public education are paying off for students.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The best candidate? Dear editor, I take exception to Mr. Hardin’s suggestion that the citizens of Tipton County should support a candidate just because of their political party affiliation. Elected officials in state positions have a much more direct impact on the lives of the citizens they represent, so voting for people who will be there when you need them to answer your questions or help you with knowledge of where to go with a problem is important. State elected officials have a direct impact on local economies, schools, and infrastructure which affect the daily lives of the citizens within the communities. In your letter you imply that Debra Moody is the best person for the citizens of Tipton County because she is a Republican. However, when the Republican Party held their open forum for their primary candidates, she DID NOT attend. When Dyersburg State Community College held the only open forum for all the candidates for State Representative, Debra Moody DID NOT attend. Either the job of being a State Representative is not important to her, or maybe she is riding the coattails of the Republican Party. The issues from her website that she wants to address are mostly national agenda taken

The bugle and the muffler: the evolution of media bias Dear editor, The bugle has been used by our military since the beginning of our Republic. Each morning at military bases, the troops are rallied to begin the day. In battle the bugle is the key communication tool used to signal strategy – “charge,” “cease fire,” “retreat,” etc. Remember the old western movies when the fort was about to fall to the Indians? The sound of the Calvary’s bugle signaled the arrival of re-enforcements. During this time-frame the news media began its evolution as our key communication tool. Some newspapers were named “Bugle.. Early American journalism used primarily the printed word. The
writer had time to review his work before “going to press.” He held his profession to a high degree of accuracy. He accepted the freedom of the press along with the responsibility to tell the truth – the whole truth with both sides of a story without personal bias. Then came radio broadcasts of current news events. Again professional journalists delivered the facts read from a script that had been properly edited. Listeners felt assured they were hearing complete coverage of a news event. Biased reporting was virtually non-existent until the years of television. Even though the words were scripted and properly edited, the facial inflections of the reporter revealed personal bias. Pursed lips, an untimely smile, raised eyebrows, or rolling of the eyes, were early symptoms of the disease known as media bias. This disease that has infected this once-great profession has recently spread to the attitude of acceptance by the public – and by the media. The pride of workmanship held by the staff running the printing press seems lost in our current environment of immediate information. Social media blogs, falsehoods via email, has muddied the water even more. There is now a degree of non-reSEE LETTERS, PAGE A5

Continued from A4 porting or under-reporting by the mainstream media. To somewhat satisfy the duty as journalists reporting the news they are using another key communication tool - the muffler. A muffler, as you know is used to silence or deaden the sound of an automobile engine. Likewise, current events are sometime silenced. When reporting an occurrence that seems unfavorable to democrats or liberals the muffler is used to quietly “x” the box. Conversely, an uncomplimentary comment made by a republican or conservative candidate is amplified by the use of the traditional bugle – repeatedly (like every morning at military bases). Media-bias favoring democrats has been evident for years. However, it has never been so blatant as now, during this election. It is as though they are desperate for an Obama second term. Maybe a class-action lawsuit against the Associated Press, the alphabet networks, and the New York Times would be appropriate at this time. Their response to the charge of journalistic malpractice might answer a few questions: Why are there so many (75-85 percent) journalists supporting a president who admittedly seeks to “fundamentally change America?” Do they understand the change sought by Mr. Obama will jeopardize our liberty and freedom? One of these freedoms will likely be the freedom of the press. Do they honestly want to trade the bugle for a muffler? Journalists should be among the first to remove their heads from the sand -- and protect their exposed rear ends.

year, consider bumping up your retirement plan contribution. As for your retirement plan’s investment portfolio, take a close look at it. Does it still reflect your risk tolerance and time horizon? These two factors will change over the years, so you’ll want to make sure your investment mix keeps pace. Also, is your account properly diversified, or have you tended to concentrate your dollars in just one or two types of investments? While diversification cannot guarantee a profit or protect against a loss, it can help you reduce the impact of volatility on your holdings. You should have several weeks in which to study your benefit plan options, so take the time you need to make the right choices. You may also want to consult with a professional financial advisor — someone who can help you determine your life insurance and disability protection needs as well as review your retirement plan’s investment mix to ensure it’s still appropriate.

A word of advice to all my clients and friends; should the government let his disastrous event occur, You had better have more protection for your assets than fort knox. The outcome would be less than rosey. Any hit to economic growth is unlikely to be of the magnitude of the severe contraction during the Great Recession of 2008-09. One reason is businesses and households don't have anything close to the degree of leverage they had prior to the 2008 crash. A kicking of the can down the road again is out of the question. What we need is reform with “all caps”; We can't let these people who have worked their entire lives, building and strengthening this great country of ours go away empty handed - AND with empty pockets.

It is presently scheduled for Halloween at 8:30 a.m. He will be having the other half of his thyroid removed and will take a thyroid pill for the rest of his life, they say. With modern science that may change also in the future. Thank goodness the sunshine finally arrived on Monday. I'm sure the rain helped the farmers last weekend. Personally, I prefer the sunshine.

Hello My Friends, The fall display of color is upon us. This is my favorite time of year. All of my plants have been enjoying the reprieve. Now the mums are making their big splash. And I need to get some pansies planted ASAP. There are also some very creative fall displays around town, too. I remember having a fall scene in our yard and when it was time to rid the yard of the hay bales, to my surprise, there was a large chicken snake under one of them. I just about had a stroke. I definitely became Hercules with that hay bale. I have to tell you my Hawaii trip was wonderful! Of course, seeing my two grandsons and precious daughter was the highlight. Paul worked a lot but it was good to be around him too. It was unusually hot, with no trade winds. Even Danielle was hot as well. There is no air conditioning in her house so

Tula Starr Greetings: The following is one of my favorite Halloween memories: Four years ago when we moved to our new home of Elm Grove Road, we dececied to find a new doctor. Well, one day we were on the Hwy 59 and we saw the Family Medicine in Brighton. We got the phone number and made an appointment; we noticed that the sign on the door said Dr. Scott Craig. Well we made an appointment and went to Dr. Scott Craig. We asked him if he remembered us from our former church in Frayser. And he said, "Did you two ever go the Frayser

Operation Christmas Child Boxes will be collected in the library anytime between now and Nov. 11. We extend our sympathy to the Wiley family in the death of Shelia Wiley's mother, Edna Downing. Fall Retreat at French Camp will be Nov. 16-18. I made good use of the fans. The scenery is absolutely amazing: flowers growing wild, out of trees and chickens just running about along the highway. The Dole Pineapple plantation was super fabulous. They have maze that is the second largest in the world. The boys and I went to the beach just about every morning. So beautiful and just about two minutes from Danielle's home. Of course, me driving, with the boys as navigators was an experience. I'm not much on directions and it’s not unusual for me to get turned around but two little boys telling me (one who didn't know right from left) ended up being an adventure! My trip home ended up being a gift in a lot of ways. When I arrived in Phoenix, another passenger had a long layover also. She and I kind of bonded. This is what I put on my Facebook page. "You never know when people are put in your path for good. On my flight back from Hawaii, a lady and I met

Thankfully I can hold someone else's tears because mine have been held by others." And for this I want to thank all of you for uplifting while I was at my lowest and sustaining me while at my best.

That was what I wanted everyone to think. But we had on light pink leotards and light pink tights. So, they had a good laugh and we had to laugh again when she told us this story. That was at least 30 years ago!

The Civil War and Tipton County: September 1862 other prisons. There we were formed into a squadron of seven (nine) transports (flying white flags), conveyed by two gunboats one in front and one in rear, our squad was on the McGill a large transport carrying in all about 1,200 prisoners and guards. We proceeded down the river to Vicksburg which journey took about 17 days from the time we left Alton. We were not allowed to travel at night, but were anchored out in the river. We were exchanged at Vicksburg, Miss…(September 16, 1862) and sent up into North Miss.” Flavel C. Barber, an officer of the 3rd Tennessee wrote in his journal of
the trip passing down the Mississippi: “We passed Point Pleasant in Missouri and Osceola in Arkansas, and a little after dark we ran down by Randolph and under the batteries of Fort Pillow in Tennessee. All this part of the river from Cairo to Memphis has been made historic ground by the events of the war. Belmont, Island No. Ten, and Fort Pillow are all monuments of the bravery of our soldiers. During the early part of the night we passed Fort Wright and anchored about 10 miles above Memphis. The morning of the 10th …our whole fleet stopped before Memphis where we lay till the next day. The citi-
zens and especially the ladies came down to see us and received us with great enthusiasm. They were suffered to come on board our boat and all the Federal bayonets in town could not keep them from cheering and waving their handkerchiefs.”

Carpenter named to All-American Band By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com The Munford High School band has hauled in a lot of awards over the years, including a national championship trophy last year. Tuesday afternoon in the MHS band room, one of the band's members received some individual recognition and all her band mates were on hand to help her celebrate.
Senior marimba player Rebecca Carpenter was named to the 2013 U.S. Army All-American Marching Band. She will play at the U.S. Army AllAmerican High School Bowl on Jan. 5 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. “I couldn't have done it without y'all,” Carpenter said, motioning to her 100 or so band members in the crowd. “You pushed me and made me better. It's such a huge honor.” Carpenter is one of just 125 high
school band members chosen across the country. It's the fourth straight year that a Munford band member has been chosen for the honor. “It's another wonderful day for the Munford band program,” MHS band director Barry Trobaugh said. “Munford High School is so very proud of each and every student … This is something she accomplished completely on her own.” Several representatives from the U.S.
Army were on hand for the event. They are traveling across the country to honor each of the band students. Carpenter's mother and grandparents were present for the event and she got a little choked up while making her acceptance speech. “I skip lunch to practice,” Carpenter said. “That's how much I love it. It's my reason to live.”

FRIDAY FOOTBALL: MILAN @ COVINGTON • FRAYSER @ MUNFORD • BRIGHTON @ CORDOVA • TRA @ HARDING
Chargers dominate Rebels, move to 8-0 By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com On a special night during which Covington High School and its football program set a precedent with the retirement of the No. 16 jersey of the late John Tom Williams, the Charger team came out playing with emotion and quickly dispatched the Obion County Central Rebels with 28 first-quarter points en route to a 56-6 victory. Johnston White blocked a Rebel punt, his third block of the season, less than two minutes into the game. The Chargers recovered at the sixyard line and at the 9:55 mark White scored the first of his four touchdowns on the night from a yard out. Charger quarterback T. A. Watson found Carlos Williams with scoring passes of 19 and 44 yards to up the lead to 21-0. A Trae Wilson punt block recovered at the Obion 38 by Aretavious Brown set up the 2nd of those scores. Brown got into the act three minutes later with a 62-yard sprint up the right sideline to close out the quarter’s scoring. “Our offense was efficient in the first half,” said Covington coach Marty Wheeler, whose team scored on eight of eight possessions to remain undefeated and ranked second in the latest Class 4A state AP poll. Covington (8-0 overall, 5-0 District 13-AA) added 14 more points before the half with TD runs of 29 and 18 yards by White.

“Defensively, we did OK,” Wheeler said, “once we understood what was going on. Obion is a passing team that came out running. After some adjustment, we took care of business." The Chargers held Obion to 170 yards of total offense. Blake Berner was 9 of 18 for 112 yards passing and the Rebel ground game managed 58 yards on 27 carries. Wheeler had praise for his special teams, noting a pair of blocks and the work of Andrew Miller fielding punts. He did allow for some needed improvement on kick-off coverage. “We were trying to do a little too much on coverage," Wheeler said. "Guys go looking for the big hit and it is not always there.” Obion got its lone score after a kick-

our sinfulness and show the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Paul goes on to tell us that without faith it is impossible to please God. This is not just any faith, but faith that is placed in the Son of God. Sincerity and faith are not the same thing! The old adage that one can be sincere and be sincerely wrong is true. Religion for the sake of itself is nothing. The law points specifically to the need for cleansing from sin. We are guilty before God and, truth be known, cannot even properly understand how truly sinful we are. The old Puritans used to speak of the millions of sins we have committed. Our faith is going to have to include the truth that we are needy, not just sick and needing help, but hopeless on our own and doomed to Hell without Christ. The weightier matter of the law is to trust Christ and Him alone for salvation. Ephesians tells us we were without Christ, having no hope and without God. What plainer description could we need? The law points to Jesus and tells us that in Him we have all that we need or could ever hope for. Christ is all I need! He is all, all I need!

Celebrating Newspapers Weir was Leader’s editor from 1969 to 1984
By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Editor’s note: National Newspaper Week is Oct. 7-13. In celebration of that, all this month we will feature former employees of The Leader and ask them to look back on their lives in the newspaper business. These days, Roland Weir is probably known more for his prowess on the golf course than in the newsroom. Weir, 70, plays golf at the Covington Country Club five days a week with locals like Ken McCool, Bobby Anderson and Johnny Owen and shoots in the 70s on a regular basis. “Nobody really asks me about my newspaper days anymore,” says Weir. “It’s been a long time.” From 1969 to 1984, Weir served as The Leader’s sports and news editor. He covered everything from board meetings to Dixie Youth games. Sporting events were his favorite things to write about. In the early 70s, he started The Leader’s High School Football Preview, which still exists today. “Basketball was my favorite thing to cover,” says Weir. “Covington was the team to beat back then.” From 1973 to 1983, he served on the Covington City School Board and covered the meetings while he was there. “No,” Weir says with a laugh when asked if he ever quoted himself in stories. “I didn’t do that.” While serving as editor of The Leader, he won eight different Tennessee Press Association awards for news, education and sports coverage. He was very active in the community, serving as president of the Covington-Tipton County Chamber of Commerce president from 1982 to 1983. Weir actually started at The Leader in 1961, working on the letter press and the print shop, making $1.10 an hour. He worked in Jonesboro, Ark., for a while before coming back to the newspaper. He graduated from Brighton High School in 1960 and played a year of baseball at the University of Memphis. While at Brighton he was a left-handed first baseman and pitcher, helping the Cardinals to two conference titles. He also played basketball at Brighton. Like most old newspaper men, he’s quick to critique the way things are done today. “Not enough sports coverage,” he says. He also points out that his publisher, Bill Simonton, told him that there needed to be 20 elements (pictures and articles) per page. Today there are usually seven or eight. “Of course the paper was a lot wider then,” Weir says. “I like the way it looks now though.” These days Weir keeps himself busy on the golf course and watching sports on television, especially his beloved St. Louis Cardinals baseball team. On a warm Wednesday morning recently, he visited The Leader office before heading out to the golf course. “I still miss it,” Weir says. “I’d like to still be doing this.”
Above, Roland Weir and others are honored in a 1983 newspaper clipping. At left, Weir blasts out of the sand in the 1970s. Below, Weir looks at a current issue of The Leader.

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Brighton Middle School was challenged for sure Monday night at home in the West Tennessee Athletic Conference title game, but the three-time defending champs made it four in a row with a 36-30 win over Haywood Middle. The Cardinals (9-1) drove the length of the field in the closing minutes to break
a 30-30 tie. The drive was punctuated by a 25-yard TD catch by Ish Jones on fourth down and three with 1:47 left. Haywood (8-2) fumbled on the ensuing drive and Brighton ran out the clock from there. Brighton will now play for the West Tennessee large school title a week from Saturday in Memphis against a team to be determined. Malik Matthews scored
Lady Chargers shut out McKenzie By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com The Lady Charger soccer team tuned up for the playoffs with an 8-0 whitewash of McKenzie on Oct. 1. Anne Marie Van Cleve and Jasmine Brown each turned a hat trick. Whitney Young and Briana Dean added a goal each. “It was a confidence booster for us," Covington coach Robert Luttrell said. “We have been so injured the past two weeks that it was good to get the backups the reps to help prepare for upcoming games.” Covington lost to Obion County 1-0 in overtime on Oct. 4. “The Obion game was huge for us,” said Luttrell. We could have fallen to the
fourth seed in the tournament. Also, we were missing our staring goalkeeper, Callie McDaniel, for the fourth straight game." Tierra Williams filled in admirably even though goalkeeper is not her position. Covington held Obion to a scoreless tie in regulation. “A magnificent defensive performance," Luttrell said. The Lady Rebels slipped a goal past Williams four minutes into the overtime to give Obion a 1-0 win. However, they needed to win by two or more goals to knock CHS out of the number two seed. The seeding gives the Lady Chargers a first-round bye in the district tournament.
on a nine-yard run early in the game to give the Cardinals an 8-0 lead. Alex Malone scored just before halftime to push the lead 22-14. Haywood's Jaylen Turner scored on a 48-yard pass before halftime to tie the game at 22-22. Perhaps the play of the game occurred with 4:33 left in the third quarter when
Malone intercepted a pass in the endzone, with the score still tied, and returned it to the Haywood 32, which led to another BMS score. Matthews was named the conference's offensive most valuable player. Jones, Blake Armour and Tyler "Squirrel" Lovell were named allconference for Brighton.

Golfers compete at state By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com
Having secured their places at the A-AA State Golf tournament with respective 3rd and 4th place regional finishes, Tommy Beasley and Brad Walker set sail for Manchester’s Willow Brook Country Club on Oct. 9 for their chances at a State title. Beasley opened with an 85 and Walker an 86 placing them well back in the pack. “ The two managed to calm their nerves on day two,” said Coach Brad Warmath, “ and consequently they played better golf.” Walker bested Beasley by a stroke 78-79 on day two of the event to give both players identical 164 totals for the championship. They finished tied for 30th in a field of 78 participants. Coach Warmath, Beasley and Walker extended their thanks to the local businesses and individuals who sponsored their trip to Manchester. In other Covington sports action: Kate Armstrong (30:19) and Kaitlyn Poole (32:32) turned in personal best times at a Gibson County cross country meet on Oct. 9. “They improve each race,” said Covington coach Sharman Coley. Jamerio Mitchell medalled with an 11th place finish and a time of 18:50 for the three-mile course. The next finishers for CHS were Jordan Max (22:16), Sam Wauford (22:39) and Dustin Pugh (28:47).
