Voters turning out early

Voters in Tipton County are making sure to cast their ballot early, said Neil Bell, Tipton County's administrator of elections.

At press time, more than 5,530 people had already voted.

"Tipton County voters are making it clear they want their voices to be heard in this election," he said. "We are hopeful that even more voters will decide to take advantage of early voting over the next several days."

In the August primary election, 4,206 early and absentee ballots

were cast and 3,367 ballots were cast on election day.

Compared to the turnout in that election, there has already been a 31 percent increase in early votes.

And there is still one more week of early voting to go.

Many voters who've already made their choices have decided to cast their ballots early.

"I voted (Tuesday). No long lines. My mind was made up a long time ago," said Barbara Chaney.

Though the appeal of shorter lines brings in many, some voters want to wait.

"I have not voted yet," said Fran

Morgan Yocca. "We like to wait until election day just because it makes it feel more like it's official or something.... but I will definitely be voting on election day."

Early voting will take place in Covington, at 113 E. Church Street, and in Munford, at 70 College Street, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday; 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday and 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday.

Early voting ends on Thursday, Nov. 1. Election day is Tuesday, Nov. 6.

American Legion Fair comes to Covington Millington's loss is Covington's gain as the American Legion Fair opens at Cobb Parr Park tonight.

The Legion Fair had two years in Millington but when organizers approached Interim Millington Mayor Linda Carter earlier this spring, she did not give approval. Within two days the City of Covington agreed to host the annual event at the Cobb-Parr Park off of Highway 51.

Lee Buchschacher, president and chairman of the Legion Fair said, “The Covington leadership really stepped up to the plate and offered to host our venue. Mayor Gordon, the aldermen and the city staff have been very supportive and helpful.”

“We are very excited to be hosting the American Legion Fair in Covington this year,” said Covington Mayor David Gordon. “We encourage everyone to come out and have some good, family fun and support the American Legion in its efforts to support our veterans.”

The fair's committee has recently released names of local sponsors.

“I was completely surprised by the support,” said Buchschacher. “The

usual big businesses that traditionally support these events are noticeably absent, but the big surprise was the number of small and entrepreneurial businesses that stepped up to the plate.”

Buchschacher said that not all sponsors paid money but gave in-kind services. For example, the official photographer for the fair is Lisa Hellman, owner of Images of Heaven Photography in Covington, who will be taking news and publicity shots all during the fair. Another in-kind sponsor is ABC 24 television in who produced a television public service spot to air on their two stations in Memphis.

Other listed sponsors include Angel's Closet and Book Nook, Cannon Chiropractic, Friends of Conneye Albright, In Home and Office Spa Escapes, Park University – Millington Campus, Promo Print Advertising, Tipton County Veterans and US 51 Country Radio.

“The sponsors will enjoy prime visibility at the fair with their names on banners and hourly announcements from the US 51 Country Stage. And all sponsors are offered a booth space

with electricity as part of their sponsorship package,” Buchschacher said.

With 29 rides on the midway, the fair opens Thursday with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 5 p.m. and continues through Sunday.

“There will be a variety of entertainment over the four-day event,” Buchschacher said. “Rick Montana, star of the Rick Montana Show, will be performing classic rock and country songs along with the Wise Men, a humorous country group singing songs similar to Homer and Jethro fame. Billy Jones Bluez performs blues ballads and love songs with heart and lots of soul. Then we have 10-year-old Emma Webb singing a variety of pop/rock hits."

This is a charitable event whose profits go to the American Legion Charities to help veterans, their families and the youth of our community.

Gates open at 5 p.m. on weekdays and 1 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

The fair closes nightly by 11:30 p.m.

Parking and admission are free.

Updating the Tipton County Schools website and students' use of cell phones at school were the hot topics at last Thursday's monthly meeting of the Tipton County School Board.

At last month's meeting, school board member Farrel Vincent asked the board to consider putting budget information, board policies, agendas, minutes and job postings on the school system's website.

John Combs, interim director of instruction, said on Thursday that putting the budget, board policy, agendas and minutes would be easy to do, but job postings would be more complicated.

According The software is to Director of Instruction not that expensive, Buddy Bibb, teaching jobs but staffing is a that become available at concern. the end of the school year are JOHN COMBS Interim director of instruction posted at the school board office over the summer.

Jobs that become available during the school year are generally filled on an interim basis by current staff members, and then made available to the public when the school year is over.

Combs said he would meet with Marty Becton, the system's technology supervisor, about the technical aspects of posting jobs online and whether or not people would be able to apply online or have to print out applications and turn them in to the board.

“The software is not that expensive,” Combs said, “but staffing is a concern.”

As far as things like minutes and budgets online, board member Marty Haywood expressed the same concern.

“We need to make sure we have the staff to update these things,” Haywood said.

Bibb said he will look into the legality

COMMUNITY

Munford mother raising money to put son to rest

By JESSICA COOKE jcooke@covingtonleader.com A Munford family is hoping to raise funds to pay for an infant's funeral after his father took his life insurance money.

In a recent letter to The Leader, Kim Koole described the tragic events leading up to and following the death of her 16-month-old grandson, Landen Shawn Carver.

Landen was born on May 12, 2011 with a rare genetic disorder called Zellweger Syndrome and was not expected to live more than six months.

“There are many spectrums of this disorder and unfortunately Landen had the worse end of the spectrum,” Koole says.

She went on to describe how the baby’s father, her son David Carver, and the baby’s mother, Rebekah Davis Carver, had both served overseas in the military.

Landen was born a few months after David returned from a 12-month tour in Afghanistan, at which time the family moved to Fort Lewis, Wash. where David was assigned.

The baby’s condition required 24-hour care his entire life, and Rebekah could not work due to Landen’s weak immune system. She moved back to Tennessee in December 2011, where both she and David had family willing to help with the

baby’s care.

David was then granted compassionate reassginment to Fort Campbell, Ky., where the two planned to move so they could be together and still live close to their families. However, due to other circumstances, David was incarcerated by the military in June 2012, where he remained for the rest of his son’s life.

Landen passed away on Sept. 10, and was buried two days later on Sept. 12, when he would have turned 16 months old.

Rebekah and her mother-in-law Koole were faced with the task of arranging the baby’s funeral and burial at Munford Funeral Home.

In order to do this, Rebekah had to write a personal check for the full amount of the funeral costs, which the funeral home agreed to hold until the life insurance funds could be processed and released.

Upon his son’s death, David was released and

all charges were dropped, and the military released him from service under an Other than Honorable Discharge in Lieu of Court Martial.

When he was released, he became the beneficiary of Landen’s life insurance policy in the amount of $10,000.

Koole alleges her son received the funds on Oct. 9, but has not used it to pay for Landen’s funeral and burial.

In a meeting with the funeral home, Koole and her daughter-in-law were given until Nov. 3 to come up with funds to cover the funeral expenses, at which time the funeral home will have to process Rebekah’s check.

In the event that the check doesn’t clear, serious action could be taken.

Koole is asking the community to help her grieving family in this urgent situation.

“I’m not asking for anything but to help the mother that dedicated 16 months of her life to giving her baby the best quality of life he could have in his condition.”

A Munford Funeral Home representative reported that while a good portion of the $2,300 bill has thus far been covered, they are still receiving donations for the remaining amount.

Any additional donations will be given to the family for the purchase of a headstone.

All donations can go

directly to Munford Funeral Home, at 1136 Tipton Road in Munford.

The phone number is 837-0123.

Those wishing to donate are asked to make note that the funds are for Landen Carver’s funeral expenses.

The family thanks the community for any donations they can make, and requests prayers as well. ✭ ✭ ✭ WANT TO HONOR YOUR VETERAN?

BOARD

Continued from A1 and practicality posting jobs online that became available during the school year.

“I've talked to teachers who said they never knew about jobs that became available,” Vincent said.

School board member Chris Fisher brought up the issue of students using phones, Kindles, iPads and other similar devices at school.

“Some teachers let kids use phones to get information,” Fisher said. “Right now I'm very much in favor of letting teachers control phone usage. It can be helpful.”

Per board policy, students are not allowed to use phones at school.

Bibb and Director of Operations Charlotte Fisher both had concerns with Chris Fisher's idea.

Charlotte Fisher said using phones in class is a breach of testing rules and other problems come along with phones.

She said school administrators have already had to deal with students posting inappropriate pictures taken in school locker rooms.

“And what about the students who don't have one (a phone),” Charlotte Fisher said. “All students can't afford a phone. We already know

that.”

Bibb reminded Chris Fisher that the burden of policing cell phone usage would fall upon school administrators who already have a lot on their plates.

Chris Fisher told Bibb he had talked to four teachers who were in favor of students using phones for educational purposes.

“We've got a highperforming school system, great teachers,” Bibb said. “You need to be cautious. You talked to four teachers. We've got 870 certified staff …

Us sitting around this table aren't the ones who have to implement these things.”

Bibb said he would bring the up the issue at his next meeting with school administrators.

In other matters: • Combs congratulated Covington High School senior Rolanda Mack and principal Peggy Murdock for receiving State Collaborative on Reforming Eduction (SCORE) awards earlier this month. Combs was on hand to listen to Mack read the essay that helped her win the award.

“The only thing better than reading your essay was listening to you read it,” Combs said.

GUEST OPINION

Moody: The rest of the story A couple of weeks ago, the Leader ran an article questioning Debbie Moody on missing two candidate forums. There are a few detractors on Facebook calling Debbie a coward or RINO (Republican in name only).

Anyone who knows her realizes this is far from the truth, and when you check into why she missed the latest forum you realize there is a “Paul Harvey’s Rest of the Story”, not told in the Leader or elsewhere.

Actually, there have been five candidate forums and she made three of them. In the last one at Dyersburg State, Debbie had three events she was asked to attend. She left several messages with the coordinator of the DSCC event, but he did not get back to her in time before she decided to commit to another event.

Let me say that Debbie was not my candidate in the Republican Primary. I had already pledged my support to Terry Mullins and worked to help him win.

Debbie won the primary fair and square, and as I told Terry when she announced, Debbie would be a strong candidate in large part because she shares our values.

I have known Debbie and her family since 1991. We were new to Tipton County and the Moody’s were one of the first to reach out to us in friendship. Our sons grew up best friends and we have done a lot together. I know Debbie and she is nothing close to a coward.

Debbie has reached out to women at abortion clinics trying to save the life of the unborn. She stood among a hostile crown in 1996 when Bill Clinton came to Covington with a sign that said “It Takes an Indictment”. I’ve seen her defend her positions in church and elsewhere on her pro-life stance, home schooling and a host of other issues. She is much nicer than her detractors and refuses to respond in kind, which to me shows great character.

Debbie was a Republican activist long before most today ever got involved. She and her J IM HARDIN husband sacrificed many days and nights supporting Republican candidates, and they were the ones to invite me to my first Republican meeting in early 1992.

Debbie has been an officer of the Tipton County Republican Party, an Executive Committee Woman representing us in the State Party, and has lobbied state legislators, including Jimmy Naifeh, on pro-life issues in Nashville. She has put hands and feet to her faith and ideals more than most people I know.

I think what gets the bomb-throwers hiding behind Facebook most is that Debbie does not meet them at their level. She is a lady who lives the “turn the other cheek” better than I know her husband and I are capable of living. Terry and I can be quick to let the badger out when pushed. Debbie remains a calming influence, living up to “blessed are the peacemakers” better than anyone I know in politics.

Debbie’s style may be different, but I submit that she just might be more effective as a legislator than I could have been or perhaps anyone else who ran in the recent primary, though all good, solid conservatives. Debbie does not make enemies of those who do not agree with her. She keeps up the relationship and will work on a person until they just might see things her way. It’s fun to watch someone raise cane in politics, and Debbie can and will do it, just not in a way that turns people into enemies.

Debbie is no RINO, a term often used by people when their candidate loses or to avoid focusing on the issues much like people just say a person is a racist if they don’t support President Obama. She is pro-life, pro-second amendment, pro-traditional marriage, and opposed to a state income tax. She is known and respected by the State Speaker Beth Harwell and our own Senate Majority Leader Mark Norris. I’ve actually seen her disagree with Beth Harwell back when the Speaker was the Chairman of the Tennessee Republican Party over the state party’s then lack of support for West TN candidates, so she will stand up to power.

Debbie Moody will challenge Democrats and Republicans when it is the right thing to do, but she will maintain relationships with those who are willing that will help her better serve Tipton County and realize our conservative values in Nashville. Her core values are solid! It would be an honor to have her serve Tipton County in Nashville and a refreshing improvement over what we had the last 38 years.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Problem with thieves This past March, the front doors of my home at Corona were forced open. Thieves entered the house and stole a considerable amount of property.

When I discovered the burglary, I called the Tipton County Sheriff’s Department. They came as soon as possible, which is about two hours.

For the readers who aren’t familiar with Corona’s location, the place is part of Tipton County in Tennessee territory located across the Mississippi River on the west (Arkansas) side. Corona is about eighty miles from Covington.

The police dusted for fingerprints, but apparently, nothing showed up. While the officers were at the house, men who were working in the yard found some rubber gloves, which I was told were sent to Nashville to be tested for DNA. I presume the gloves were discarded by the thieves because my house and yard, in fact the whole place, are in a remote, isolated location, so the chances of the gloves being in the yard accidentally are about nil.

Soon after the burglary was discovered, two men nearby in Arkansas were arrested by Arkansas police, and they were charged with receiving stolen property (mine). I was able to recover some of my belongings, but the greater part remains unaccounted for, in-

Joanne Cullom Moore Frenchman’s Bayou, Arkansas Elections have consequences The election in 2006, midway through George Bush’s second term, awarded both houses of Congress to the Democrats. Negative coverage by the liberal news media about the Bush Adminis-

tration resulted in such an electorate dislike for President Bush, the Democrats took over the legislative branch of our government.

This dislike, or disapproval by the voters cleared the way for Harry Reid to claim leadership of the Senate and for Nancy Pelosi, the House of Representatives. From their positions of leadership these two inadequates developed that “dislike” to outright contempt for Mr. Bush. The lapdog news media helped fan the flames of contempt into virtual hate among many voters. Totally partisan, ignoring at least seventeen warnings from the Republican President, Barney Frank contrarily insisted the housing market was “just fine”. Under Frank’s leadership Freddie and Fannie got into a heap of trouble.

At that same time Mr. Franks’ colleague in the Senate, Chris Dodd, head of Banking was on the same fantasy trip. Our present economic crisis was conceived at that time.

When you hear the Obama Campaign complaining about what was inherited remember this fact; Because the legislative branch was controlled by the Democrats, the origin of the present economic decline was under George Bush but be advised also he was not the major contributor.

The Tipton County Sheriff’s Department and Mike Dunavant have told me they are not going to prosecute the thieves, even if the DNA in the gloves matches that of the thieves arrested in Arkansas.

They said the gloves in the yard do not prove the men were inside my house, and that they do not have enough evidence to prosecute them.

While this is their standpoint, I am left with justice not being served. The thieves have not been charged in Tennessee, and I do not know what will happen in Arkansas. Possessions that had been in my family for generations are gone, stolen, and what is more disturbing, my peace of mind was stolen. I feel unsafe and uneasy in my house of fifty years, knowing the rogues are loose, unpunished, and able to prey on someone again.

• Create a retirement income strategy. It’s important to project your living expenses during retirement.

To calculate these figures and develop such a strategy, you may want to work with a financial advisor.

National Save for Retirement Week will come and go quickly. But your retirement could last for decades — so do everything you can to prepare yourself.

Continued from A4 silent about Obama continued generating hateful dialogue about Bush and the Republican party.

The cards were neatly stacked to favor the democrats in the general election. But if the “professionals” in the news media had done their job we would now be addressing Ms. Hillary as “Madam President”. The election of Mr. Obama can be traced to two human frailties - hatred and ignorance. Both of these frailties were fed by biased news coverage perpetrated by the liberal media. That was then, this is now. Four years later, Nov. 6, 2012, we voters, now informed and very aware will vote more wisely. The two choices are clear: four more years of ineptness and ambage; or change this dangerous course of self-destruction and elect a president who is an experienced leader in public service and a very successful business man.

For four years President Obama has attempted to “fundamentally change America”. He has method-

lenged by Barack Obama. Who? Barack Huesein Obama, Senator from Illinois. You know, the one who shows up occasionally to vote “present”. The same, who as a State Senator voted twice to allow late-term abortion in the state.

“No way, right?” Well, that’s what Mrs. Clinton believed also. But because Mr. Obama’s father had dark colored skin the same obsequois news media deemed it politically correct that his resume not be examined. They apparently assumed any journalistic divulgence would be considered racial profiling. This P.C. resulted in a state of unawareness. We were ignorant of Mr. Obama’s past . (The movie “2016” has since filled in the blanks very professionally). So in 2008, because the lapdog news media failed miserably to inform us about Senator Obama’s bio, Senator Clinton, former First Lady, lost the nomination to an unknown junior Senator from Illinois.

ically reduced our global prestige with a flawed, apologetic foreign policy; incorporated a “government down” economic policy (socialism) and replaced patriotism with class-warfare. His tools along with a class-warfare narrative are: distraction, distortion, disruption and deceit.

If for some reason you plan to sit out the election please consider this important concern. Our next president will be responsible for appointing one, maybe two Supreme Court Justices. Do you want this appointment done by someone who has publicly avowed to “fundamentally change America” and has privately told the Russians he will have more flexibility after the election? Elections have consequences.

We need a patriot in the oval office. Mitt Romney is that patriot and he needs your vote.

Hi everyone.

The beautiful colors of the sunsets and falling leaves tells us that fall has actually arrived. It's exciting as well as beautiful.

It's unfortunate however that we have lost another dear friend, Mr. Bob Yoakum. Mr. Yoakum leaves his former wife Kathryn and daughter Stefanie. We extend our sympathy to all of the Yoakum family.

Last week, Charlie and I had the privilege of having dinner with the governor Mr. Bill Haslam, as well as Senators Mark Norris and

Jamestown

DarSay Burton Greetings. What lovely fall weather! Especially now with some of the trees glowing and changing colors. Even our temperatures are average and very nice these days.

On Saturday at our church, North Star Community, First Lady Sis Dorothy Ingram Miller produced and directed a play titled “The Judgement Room,” which she also wrote. This play highlighted women as well as queens of the Bible, each of them with a story to tell, each with an ending moral for all of us.

This was also our women's conference for this month, an entire day's event with workshops featuring Sister Joyce (Katerine) from Peace Baptist church, Minister Dickerson (Remona) and

Delores Gresham and other state officials.The mayor of Munford, Mr. Dwayne Cole, was the officiator. This having been a fund raiser for a local candidate, I cannot mention it in correspondent news. It was an exciting evening. We got to see many friends and had delicious barbecue at the Bald Butcher. We are all so blessed to have such good people in our state offices.

Salem Presbyterian Church Worship is at 11 a.m.

Rev. Charles Todd is the minister. Everyone is invited to come and participate in the Salem Fall Carnival this Saturday

Minister Madeline Simmons, also of Peace.

A beautiful luncheon was enjoyed at noon.

Afterwards the beautiful play. Pastor Steven Miller Sr., host, was overjoyed with it all. Congratulations Sis Miller.

LaRue Albritton, Florence Trent and Barbara Miller were on board for this event from Jamestown.

Oct. 27a t 7 p.m. in the lovely NSA building in Millington, Jamestown Comm. Health Org. (JCHO) will host its annual fundraiser. This year's theme is “Jamestown goes Hollywood.”

As everyone walks the red carpet, photographers Glenn and Linda Baker will take it all in pictures.

Then the main event of the night was Mr. Rolland Essaff playing and singing “Elvis” with Mr. Charles Turnage!!!!!! WOW! That was great! Mr. Charles is one of our residents and he and Rolland sang two songs together, I think it caught everyone off guard, but I had it all planned out!! I thought the audience would enjoy one of our own singing a song and didn’t he do great! His Mother, Ms. Louise Turnage, would have been very proud of her son!

Covington First Baptist Church….. WOW, how can I say thank you, to all of you men that so graciously sacrifice your time and resources to host and cook for Dunlap!

The Civil War and Tipton County: September 1862 Compiled by Russell B. Bailey, Tipton County Historian HURLBUT’S MARCH During September 1862, the single largest number of Civil War soldiers passed through Tipton County. General U. S. Grant directed Gen. W. T. Sherman to send a division of Federal soldiers from Memphis to Brownsville in order to intercept the possible advance of Confederate forces in the direction of Jackson. On the 6th, Gen. Sherman ordered the entire division of Gen. Stephen A. Hurlbut to advance to Brownsville via Shelby and Tipton Counties.

Hurlbut’s Division consisted of about 6,000 men present for duty: 5,000 infantry, 350 artillery with 18 cannon and 300 cavalry. The Battalion of the 5th Ohio Cavalry led the advance. Hurlbut’s infantry and artillery camped at Raleigh that night. On Sunday, the 7th, the Federals marched east to Green

Bottom thence to Cypress Creek, where rain rendering the roads impassable for artillery and the column halted for the rest of the day. By 3 p.m. on the 8th the Federals “were moving in good order near Union Depot (Bartlett).” The column continued toward Somerville and Bolivar for several miles to Shelby Depot (Brunswick).

On the 9th, at Cypress Creek, Hurlbut’s column turned sharply to the north, passing through Hickory Wythe, across the Loosahatchie. The Federals passed Concordia (Braden) and on to Mason’s Depot in Tipton. Thomas M. Blackwell, a physician and Methodist Minister, recorded the following of Hurlbut’s march: “My father in law, J. P. Rice and his family, living in Tipton County near Mason’s Depot on the Memphis and Ohio Railroad…was visited by part of Gen. Hurlbert (Hurlbut)’s division, which encamped near his house; they

stripped his floor of the carpets and tore them in pieces, scattering fragments about the house and yard; took his daughter’s drapes and gave them to the negro woman on the place; broke up his furniture; voided thin excrements into his wheat grain and mixed it all through the grain so as to spoil it for use and made his parlor and bed rooms a place to evacuate their bowels; took off all the Daguerreotypes (pictures) of members of his family, among them that of the mother and two sisters of the family who had been dead for some years.

After doing all the mischief about the house, they destroyed all the poultry and everything about the yard and farmstead…truly, this war, by our enemies, has been waged against our people, with savage barbarity…the general who was in command of this Division of fiends, was a son of the South, born and raised in the State of South Caro-

lina…”

On Sept. 10th, the Federals continued on to the Big Muddy Creek toward Stanton. That afternoon Hurlbut’s men began the construction of a bridge over Big Muddy to replace the one burned by residents. At Stanton, a Federal officer beat and robbed a slave of $ 6,000 in gold who had in turn stolen the sum from Nathan Adams' plantation.

Hurlbut advanced a force to the Hatchie River north of Wesley between Charleston and Stanton. That same day they began construction of a bridge over the Hatchie. By the evening of Sept.

11th, the bridge was completed. That night Hurlbut received orders to march his division to Bolivar. On the 12th, the Federals retired south to Wesley and from there to Dancyville and eventually arriving at Bolivar by the 15th.

Monday night - Cardinals playing in the background but it doesn't look like they will be playing in the Series! C'mon Birds!

Also, c'mon Chargers!

9-0 record, playing Ripley this Friday night. Let's go undefeated ChargerNation!

This week's Farm Report: Got another couple inches of rain last week.

But the good thing is, with wet fields and breakdowns, we're selling beans higher than we would have last week!

Upside to everything!

Cotton is still in some fields, round bales and modules in others. Lots of beans have been cut but there are a lot more to go for everyone, looks like. No rain this week till Friday so maybe a lot can be accomplished.

Last Tuesday night a very rare occurence happened here. Clint, Courtney, Elizabeth and Lyla were all here to eat with us, along with Carter Coughlan. We had spaghetti, garlic bread, slaw and Krispie Treats. Fun night!

For the first tme in my life, the tornado sirens went off while we were

at church on Wednesday night. Andy Whaley came up to the microphone and told everyone, calmly, to get in the hallways, which we did. Some of the braver ones went out on the porch to monitor the situation, and the rest of us sang. Really pretty singing that night. After a while we were all told to go on home, and the rain continued for a while but Thursday morning, the sun was out and the sky was blue.

Liz, Lyla and I went to Memphis Friday to make some returns and do some shopping. We had a big time. Got home after 7 that night and made hamburger pie real quick.

Ready by 8! Love it!

For everyone who still is asking about the pineapple/angel food cake, yes, it's just those two ingredients. Tall can of crushed pineapple, not drained, and a box of angel food cake mix. Easily made practically sugar free with pineapple in its own juice. Just bake in a Bundt pan, and if you don't have to watch your sugar, mix a little powdered sugar, milk and a touch of vanilla for a glaze!

I hope CloptonFest went well and they had a big crowd! Over for another year!

My sincere sympathy goes to the family and many friends of Bob Yoakum, who lost his battle with cancer yesterday.

Charles Yoakum, his brother, is in my prayers, along with all the rest of Bob's family at this time.

Sympathy is also expressed to Shirley Laxton and Peggy White in the death of their aunt, Pauline Wakefield. They are in my prayers.

MES raises awareness Students and faculty at Munford Elementary School proudly wore pink to school on Friday, October 19th in an effort to raise awareness for breast cancer.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and pink is the nationally recognized symbol for awareness and research fundraising efforts.

The event, “MES Thinks Pink,” was hosted by the school’s PTO and encouraged students to wear whatever

pink they could find. Students arrived in full spirit of the event, sporting pink t-shirts, pink jackets, even pink hair bows and shoelaces. Some students confessed they don’t usually even wear pink, but were happy to support the cause and donned it anyway.

“We are happy to have such a wonderful way to teach our students about community involvement,” says PTO president Celia Ortiz.

TRA producing ‘Rehearsal for Murder’

By JESSICA COOKE jcooke@covingtonleader.com Tipton Rosemark Academy’s Fine Arts Program announces their fall drama, “Rehearsal for Murder,” which will open Thursday, November 1 and will run through the weekend.

This will be the department’s very first production held in their new Performing Arts Center, which was introduced on October 1 in a grand opening ceremony. The facility is built into the structure of the old gymnasium and cafeteria building, which was completely renovated rather than torn down to preserve an important piece of the school’s history.

The school’s Fine Arts program has seen a great deal of growth in recent years, says Lalania Vaughn, TRA Fine Arts Director of Choir and Theatre.

“It’s exciting to see something we’ve prayed for finally come to be,” she says.

Vaughn has taught fine arts at Tipton Rosemark for 15 years.

Her choir has won national competitions multiple times, and the school’s upcoming production will be her 10th show.

Many of the upcoming production’s cast are seniors who have been in the Fine Arts Program throughout high school. One such senior is Elizabeth Starnes, who is currently participating in her 7th show with the school.

Starnes is very active in the school’s arts program. She serves as the Rosemark representative for the Star Council with the Orpheum, in addition to singing in several of the school’s vocal ensembles. She is excited about the impact the new center will have on all aspects of the arts program.

“I love the new facility because it gives more opportunities, and not just for theatre,” Starnes says.

The facility seats about 400 and features a beautiful foyer area as well as a large stage, advanced production technology, choral classrooms and a much improved backstage area.

It will be used for all Tipton

Students at Tipton-Rosemark Academy receive direction while rehearsing for "Rehearsal for Murder," which opens Nov. 1.

Rosemark Fine Arts productions, including theatre, visual arts productions and choral concerts, as well as weekly school chapel and worship services.

In addition, the school is opening the center to organizations around the community for use in various events such as banquets, receptions, and meetings.

“We are very excited about the many ways that this new state of the art facility can be used to benefit not only our school, but the surrounding communities as well,” Vaughn says.

The Fine Arts department invites the community to enjoy their upcoming production of “Rehearsal for Murder,” a murder mystery by D. D. Brooke. The show will run November 1-4, starting at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with matinees starting at 3 p.m. on Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Friday night’s production will be a dinner theatre event. Tickets for this special production are $20.

All other tickets are $10 for adults and $7 for students.

Cooking with Claudia

Keeping it Simple and Seasonal Something that I have learned as I have improved upon my cooking skills is to just keep things simple and use the foods of the “seasons” to enhance the taste. I guess simple is a relative term—what may be simple for some may seem very hard for others. However, as we learn different techniques, our cooking skills just get better! As for using seasonal foods, when we keep things in natural God-given order—food just tastes better. Strawberries ripened in California in January are just not as good as strawberries naturally ripened in late spring and early summer. We are very fortunate to have so many new fruits and vegetables available to us in local groceries and farmers’ markets. Have you been to the International Farmers’ Market on Germantown Road? That is an experience in itself. An abundance of versatile and affordable fall produce and the fact that we no longer feel bad about heating up our kitchens, leads to the delightful smell of fruit, nuts, and spices slowly baking into cakes, pies, or bread. Just as the first cool Sunday in the fall calls for Chicken and Dressing, (a tradition carried on from Virginia Ruth!), the first cool days call for Apple Cake or Apple Pie or Apple Bread.

This month First Friday Coffee will feature some apple recipes that I like.

I made the Apple Bread Monday. Since it made two big loafs, I took one to a shut-in friend! How much fun is that! Remember, keep it simple, use seasonal foods and only the very best ingredients and you just cannot fail.

The girls at the Chamber wish each of you the most enjoyable fall ever!!

Fold in finely chopped apples and 1 cup pecans. Divide batter evenly between 2 greased and floured 9 x 5 loaf pans.

Austin Peay Elementary awarded for environmental program As a creative approach to improving its environmental and recycling efforts, as well as reducing energy costs and cutting down on waste, Austin Peay Elementary School implemented its Green Team, which now has recycling stations for plastic, aluminum cans and cardboard throughout the school, as well as recycling bins in each classroom. The program has helped reduce the school’s weekly garbage by 50 percent, and it has also addressed energy efficiency issues in classrooms, as well as incorporating lesson plans dealing with the environ-

ment and recycling into the school’s curriculum at all grade levels.

This school-wide effort has earned Austin Peay Elementary School in Covington statewide recognition as one of the top 10 school environmental programs in Tennessee as a winner of the 2012 Good Sports Always RecycleTM statewide school challenge. Each winning school was awarded $1,000 to enhance its environmental efforts, and the winners also attended a pre-game tailgate celebration and were recognized on-field during the game.

“I always encourage

our students to recycle,” said Leisa Bennett, principal of Austing Peay Elementary School. “In the whole scheme of things, Austin Peay Elementary School can make a difference in the world today. We must challenge our students to always do their part when it comes to recycling.”

The competition judged the schools on the impact their environmental program has on the community, their new and unique approaches to recycling and waste reduction, their overall environmental efforts, as well as the investments they have made, and will

continue to make, in an environmental program.

“It is remarkable to see the exceptional environmental programs that schools across our state have put into place.

These schools serve as role models for other communities, as we strive toward a more sustainable Tennessee,” said Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation Commissioner Robert Martineau.

FRIDAY FOOTBALL: RIPLEY @ COVINGTON • WESTWOOD @ MUNFORD • BRIGHTON @ DYER CO. • TRA @ USJ

Huge win

Cards, Cougars jockeying for playoffs

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com With the regular season wrapping up tomorrow night, Brighton and Munford, both of which won last Friday, all but know they're going to the playoffs, which begin a week from tomorrow.

The questions that remain are as what seed, against what team and where.

Brighton started the season 1-3, but, after winning at Cordova on Friday 42-20, have now won five in a row and played themselves into a playoff spot.

"We set a goal to win out after that North Side game," said Brighton coach Will Wolfe. "If we can beat Dyer, we'll be happy. We set that goal and we've been scratching and clawing to that ever since."

According to the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association's playoff standings released earlier this week, the Cardinals are seeded seventh in the eight-team Class 6A third quadrant.

If nothing changes, Brighton (63) would travel to Brentwood (8-1, ranked No. 8 in the state) for a first round game on Nov. 2.

But that's a big “if.”

The Cardinals play at Dyer County, which is 4-5 and winless in District 13-AAA, tomorrow night.

A win there could mean a move up the playoff standings.

"Teams from Middle Tennessee are going to dictate where we go," said Wolfe.

Other possible first round opponents for the Cardinals include Wilson Central (8-1), Mt. Juliet (8-1, ranked No. 6 in the state) and Arlington (81). Wilson Central and Mt. Juliet play each other tomorrow night.

Chargers surge past Milan

By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com Spurred on by a raucous home crowd, the second-ranked 4A Covington Chargers defeated the sixth-ranked 3A Milan Bulldogs 24-13 Friday in an old fashioned smash mouth football game with major seeding implications for the state playoffs.

With this win and a win tomorrow night against the Ripley Tigers, CHS (9-0 overall, 6-0 District 13-AA) will earn home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

A scoreless first quarter saw both teams move the ball well but penalties on both sides kept the teams out of the end zone. Milan (7-2, 4-2) had the

lone scoring chance late in the first, but missed a 36-yard filed goal attempt.

T. A. Watson dropped a punt dead at the Milan two-yard line early in the second quarter, and two plays later the Chargers' Johnston White put CHS 2-0 with a safety tackling, running back Arkel Coleman in the south end zone.

Unable to advance after the free kick, CHS punted to the Bulldogs, who took over at their own 13-yard line. On the first play from scrimmage Caleb Powell hit Hayden Bolton in full stride over the middle for an 87-yard TD pass to put Milan ahead 7-2 with 7:25 remaining in the half.

Covington would move quickly downfield to set up shop first and goal at the Bulldog eight, but four tries

The Brighton Middle School football team will be going for its fourth straight West Tennessee middle school football title Saturday in Memphis.

Brighton (9-1), which beat Haywood Middle 36-30 on Oct. 15 in the West Tennessee Athletic Conference title game to earn another berth in the title game, will take on Colonial Middle School (9-0) at 2 p.m. at Halle Stadium in East Memphis in the title game that matches up the best middle school teams from rural West Tennessee and Shelby County.

Colonial beat Ridgeway Middle 22-0 on Monday to get to the finals.

Said BMS coach Larry Williams: “They've got great speed and size like most Memphis teams.

We're going to have to really play to beat them.”

“We had some opportunities in the first half that we let get away," Covington coach Marty Wheeler said. "We made some mistakes and had some tough calls go against us, but we held on and went to the locker room in good shape.”

CHS took the opening kick off of the second half and marched downfield in 12 plays with White negotiating the final three yards for the first of his three touchdowns on the night. The try for a two-point conversion failed and CHS led 8-7.

The Bulldogs came right back with a

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com For the second time in a week, the Munford Lady Cougars found themselves matched up against Brighton with a title on the line.

And as was the case in the final regular season of the game two weeks ago, Munford came out on top.

The Lady Cougars, which beat Brighton 1-0 in the first matchup to clinch the regular season title, scored three times in the first half and held on down the stretch Thursday at home to defeat Brighton 3-1 and claim the District 13-AAA tournament title.

“The game was a tale of two

halves,” said Munford coach Richard Selby, who's team moved to 135-1 on the season. “We held on to get the victory.”

Maggie Billings scored twice for Munford.

The first came when she corralled a rebounded shot from teammate from Christin Smith and found the back of the net for a 1-0 lead.

Billings put her team ahead 3-0 late in the first half when after she received a pass from Falone McLure, got past the Brighton keeper and scored.

Ruth Hull got Munford's second tally and her first goal of the season off a corner kick from Smith.

Celebrating Newspapers Harris Sr., Smith logged 69 years with The Leader

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.

Carolyn Smith and Jack Harris Sr. worked a combined 69 years at The Leader, more than half of the lifetime of the 126-year-old newspaper.

Smith was hired in 1978 as the paper's family living editor without any newspaper experience. She wrote about weddings, parties, engagements, education and wrote one major feature story a week about various subjects.

“Oh yes,” says Smith, 70. “It was very overwhelming when I started.”

She was in charge of an eight- or 12-page section once a week.

She found out a lot about countless members of the community and learned something about herself along the way.

“I went out do a story about a fire tower in the Simonton community,” says Smith. “He took me up there and I got ready to come down and said, 'That's a really long way down.'”

Smith eventually got down safely, but it took a while.

“I never knew it, but I was afraid of heights.”

Before coming to The Leader, Smith worked as a secretary at First Baptist Church in Covington.

Rev. Henry West, who also wrote some columns for The Leader, gave Smith some writing advice in the early days.

“He was a good writer,” Smith says. “He always told me to use three adjectives in every sentence. I learned a lot from him.”

These days, Smith, who retired in 2000, spends time with her husband, James, and their two children, nine grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

She plays a little golf, camps, travels and is still active at First Baptist Church.

At the couple's house in the Holly Grove community there's a lake where youth groups from church regularly congregate.

Smith says she certainly enjoys retirement, but misses her co-workers and working in the community.

“I liked the holiday special sections and taking pictures of children,” Smith says. “My job was the happy news.”

Harris, who worked at The Leader from 1952 to 1999, probably has a story for each of the 48 years he worked at the paper.

Pick a subject and he's got a story.

One day, when he worked in the press room, there was a boss named John Click who Harris describes as very tidy.

“If he was going to work on something, he was wearing gloves,” says Harris.

So, one day, in a bit of ironic humor, Harris decided to fill Click's gloves with ink.

When he donned the gloves, Harris tried unsuccessfully to hold in his laughter.

Click was not amused.

“He said he was going to whoop everybody in there,” Harris says, cackling at the memory.

Before joining The Leader, Harris worked for the Mason Telephone Company, which was owned by his dad and eventually became Millington Telephone.

He sometimes worked as an operator like the one on “The Andy Griffith Show.”

“Everybody had to call the operator first,” says Harris.

“They would leave messages with me like, “Tell 'em I'll be at so-and-so's house.'”

He started at The Leader working in the bindery making 75 cents an hour.

“I thought I never would get to a dollar.”

After a while he moved on to photographer and eventually sales.

His gregarious personality served him well making sales.

“I wasn't going to push. No need to push,” Harris says.

“I liked it because we could just sit and talk about it … I'd say, 'You wanna advertise in The Leader today?' You didn't have much other choice back then.”

Harris has been married to his wife Nell for 62 years and the couple still lives in Mason.

He likes to fish for crappie and visit with his three children, four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

He says he misses work sometimes.

“But,” says Harris, “I work harder now than I did then.”

This collage of Jack Harris Sr. photos appeared in a 1999 special section commemorating his retirement.

At left, Carloyn Smith and Jack Harris Sr. today. Above, Smith working on a story about bees in 1983.

EVENT

Sloan to be honored for 50 years as St. Matthews’ organist

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com When Thirza Mobley Sloan began attending St. Matthew's Episcopal Church in 1961, she never dreamed she'd spend 50 years as the church organist.

"I married Tim Sloan, and he's been here all his life," she said, explaining how she came to join the church. "I was already playing the organ from college."

Sloan, originally from Memphis, attended Rhodes College and took lessons from Dr. Adolph Studerman, who was the organist at Calvary Episcopal Church.

When she began attending St. Matthew's, the organist at the time, Peyton Smith, gradually allowed Sloan to take over playing music for the services.

"He wanted to get out of it and, for many years, he would substitute if I was out of town."

Sloan has never taken payment for her service

Thirza Sloan, pictured with husband Tim at Old Trinity Episcopal Church in Mason in 2008, will be honored for her 50 years as St. Matthews' organist. A concert will be held in her honor on Sunday, Oct. 28 at 4 p.m. Photo by Echo Day

to the church.

"I just enjoy doing it," she said. "I have always played a musical instrument, and I wouldn't feel right if I didn't have a musical instrument. I like to play."

And though she enjoys playing for St. Matthew's, Sloan said sometimes she'd like to visit other churches.

"Once in awhile I'd just enjoy going to an-

other church and enjoying the music there. And that's something I always do when I go on vacation; when I'm gone, I'm always somewhere on a Sunday morning, preferably somewhere with lovely music."

In addition to the organ, she also plays piano and bassoon. She cannot sing, however, unlike the rest of her family.

"I came into a family of singers, and I was the accompanist," she said, laughing. "My father played the trumpet when he was in high school, but (my parents) were both singers and both of my sisters sing. I didn't get that gene."

To honor her half century of service to the church, a concert has been organized in her honor.

"This is something we really wanted to do for Thirza," said organizer Fr. Bill Ryan. "She has contributed a lot to this church and this is just one way we could thank her."

The event, which will take place on Sunday, Oct. 28 at 4 p.m., will feature local organists Fred Bickel, who plays for Ravenscroft Episcopal and St. Anne's Episcopal; Eddie Mack Owen, organist for First Presbyterian Church in Covington; and Richard Townley, a lawyer who often substitutes for Bickel.

The church's organ has also recently been repaired and updated, something that had not been done since before Sloan began her time as organist.

Following the event, a reception will be held in the parish hall and refreshments will be served.

"I thought (the concert) was a really sweet idea, but totally unnecessary.

I'll be here regardless."

St. Matthew's Episcopal Church is located at 303 Munford Street, at the corner of Munford and Washington streets, in Covington. Plenty of parking, and nursery, will be available.

The lesson of Mr. Frog Mr. Frog jumps into a pan of cool water and swims around in the pan. A fire is lit under the pan and the water warms ever so slowly.

The change is so slow and gradual that Mr. Frog does not recognize the water is being warmed. He becomes comfortable and complacent as the water becomes warmer.

It is warmed to the point that it begins to be uncomfortable. The water stresses and tires him eventually to the point that he does not have the strength to jump out if the pan. Mr. Frog ultimately succumbs to the heat. If the water in the pan had been hot initially, Mr. Frog would have immediately jumped out and not suffered an early demise.

In a similar way, America’s sense of morality has been lulled to sleep. It has happened little by little over time. Our senses have been dulled because the changes have been so gradual. A case in point is our acceptance of nudity and sexual explicitness. “I love Lucy” which aired from 1951- 1957 was one of the first shows to air a “bedroom” scene. The producers were afraid what the reaction of the viewing audience might be. Lucy and Ricky occupied twin beds and were clothed from head to toe. I do not have to tell you what bedroom scenes are like today even in prime time when children are watching.

(By the way, if it is not fit for a child to see, it is not fit for adults, either) But this did not happen overnight, it went from two beds to one bed.

It went from fully clothed to scantily clothed to no clothes. It went from no show of intimacy to "no holds barred".

Our attitude of toleration and acceptance stands in stark contrast to what is taught in the Bible. 1Th 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.

Nudity was introduced as ”comic relief” in films. A man’s pants

might fall down or a lady’s dress be caught by the wind “accidentally”. It was initially included to get a laugh. Because we did laugh and we accepted what we saw, Hollywood got bolder and less restrained. Over time, we grew accustomed to seeing more and more until what once would have shocked us and enraged us, no longer even disturbs us. I saw a show advertised a week or so ago that was going to appear in the History Channel of all places. The title was, “How Playboy changed the World.” The description of the show applauded Playboy because it “challenged social conventions” and “helped galvanize attitudes about civil liberties and civil rights”. “This feature length documentary shows how Playboy not only changed the world but continues to have a profound impact on our daily lives and cultural values”. From this description, you would think Hugh Hefner, the founder of Playboy, should receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom award for saving our country . Isa’ 5: 20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Is there nothing sacred anymore? Can we not see that Playboy and Hollywood and TV are exploiting and demeaning to women? Can we not see they are destroying the moral values of America? Can we not see that magazines, movies and programing with such themes are not motivated by trying to make America better but by the almighty dollar?

Sex sells. Those behind such pursuits are not trying to make America better but trying to line their own pockets. Pr 14:34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

Whitley & Hughes Family Eye Care

a shameful thing for a girl to be with child out of wedlock. Of course, it occasionally happened and “shotgun” weddings were in vogue which often did not work out. (Two wrongs do not make a right.) A pregnant girl attending public school was out of the question. Today, that girl never misses a beat, coming to school during pregnancy as if nothing happened.

In some areas, a nursery is made available for the baby on campus at taxpayer’s expense so the person can continue her education.

The consequences for one’s actions are no longer a deterrent because there are no adverse consequences but only rewards. Illicit sex was once looked down upon and condemned. Today, there is no stigma.

Instead of teaching abstinence, we hand out contraceptive devices to enable our young folks to sin without the side effects of an unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. Instead of teaching restraint, self- control and respect for others, we offer free contraceptives and show young people how to continue in sin and hopefully avoid the consequences. Not only do we not discourage young ladies from having a child out of wedlock, Uncle Sam rewards them with a check and another if they have a second child and so forth.

Heb 13:4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. When we reward the behavior, what message are we sending?

By the way, Snopes.com has verified that Mr. Frog is too smart to be tricked by the gradually warming water. The question remains, “How about us? Are we as smart as Mr. Frog?”. I hope so! Not only does our country but our very souls depend on it!

Modern eye care with a hometown commitment!

The Town of Brighton Tennessee will hold a Board of Zoning appeals meeting on Monday, November 5, 2012 at 6:00 p.m. to hear the following appeal: The owner of the Billy Flanagan property at 106 and 82 S Main St. in Brighton is requesting a variance in the required lot size of 12,000 sq. ft. The property was previously approved for two residential buildings in January 2000, but the Plat at that time was never recorded. The owner wishes to ‘legalize’ the existing condition by creating a building lot for each of the existing residences of 11,901 and 7,840 sq. ft. respectively, then recording a new plat creating two separate parcels.

Anyone desiring to comment on this matter should submit their concerns in writing to Brighton Town Hall no later than Friday, November 2, 2012.

Jeff A. Scott Mayor, Town of Brighton 25oc1w

BHS golf girls take region title The Brighton High School girls golf team took first place in the Region 7-AAA golf tournament held at Winfield Dunn Golf Course at Pickwick State Park earlier this month with a team score of 188.

Brighton senior Brianna Donnell posted a 93, finishing third overall, and senior Carson McKinney carded a 95 to lead the Lady Cardinals to their second region title in school history.

“It was a really tough day,” said McKinney. “All of us competing gave it our best.”

Rounding out the BHS girls top three was Anna McIntyre with a score of 100.

On the boys side, Brighton junior Logan Watkins finished second overall, posting a 71.

“I just kept grinding and grinding, and almost finished on top.” said Watkins. “We all played our best and I’m really happy for the girls team. They deserve it.”

Sophomore Jacob Glover shot 78, but missed out on going to state, finishing just out of the top four singles in fifth place.

Brighton Middle School had several players named All-Conference: from left, Tyler “Squirrel” Lovell, Blake Armour, Malik Matthews, Ish Jones and Nolan Combs.

Local youth golfers Aubree Jones and Logan Watkins recently made the 2012 Tennessee Junior Cup Golf team, which was hosted by pros Scott Stallings and Brandt Snedeker. The duo competed last week at the Vanderbilt Legends Club in Franklin, Tenn., at a Ryder Cup-style event and helped the West team to a win over the East.

Jones was named the MVP of West team, posting a 2-1 record in the event. Jones and Watkins play and practice at the Covington Country Club.

The BHS girls golf team won the 2012 Region 7-AAA golf tournament.

B14 • Thursday, October 25, 2012 • THE LEADER

CHS

Continued from B1 six-play, 74-yard drive to score with Coleman taking it in from 19 yards out. The try for two failed, leaving Milan ahead 13-8.

CHS took over after a touchback at their own 20 and dove the field in six plays for the second of White’s touchdowns, a three-yard run.

The two-point attempt failed again, but the Chargers had a lead at 14-13, which they would not relinquish.

The fourth quarter proved to be Milan’s undoing.

Five turnovers in the period, including three interceptions (two by Carlos Williams, one from Tyrone Tipton), a fumble recovery by White and the

recovery of a muffed punt

by Jadarius Temple, took the fight and the wind out of the Bulldogs.

Williams’ first pick set the Chargers up at the Milan 42-yard line. The drive stalled at the Bulldog 12 leading to a 29-uard field goal by Bobby Van Cleve to expand the Charger lead to 17-13.

A fumble recovered by White at the Covington 42-yard line ended the final Milan threat and the Chargers were able to run out the clock.

“Our defense was outstanding in the second half," said Wheeler. “Our conditioning and will to win proved to be enough to wear them down, especially in the fourth quarter.”

After giving up 233

www.covingtonleader.com yards of offense in the first half, the Charger defense held the Bulldogs to just 56 yards in the second and only two yards in the fourth period.

White finished with 191 yards on 31 carries and Aretavious Brown had 100 yards on 14 carries.

Watson was 6-of-15 passing for 118 yards.

Bobby Van Cleve nailed his 45th consecutive PAT on the season to remain perfect.

The regular season closes at home tomorrow night against the Ripley Tigers. Kick-off is set for 7:30 pm. It will be Senior Night with those ceremonies scheduled to begin at 7:00 pm. With a win CHS will have its first undefeated regular season since 2001.

Sports Happenings A three-on-three soccer tournament will be held Nov. 3 at the Covington Parks and Recreation fields for ages middle school and up. No more than five players will be allowed on a team in male, female or co-ed divisions. The fee is $45. There will be special rules on a short field with 12-minute halves.

SOCCER

Continued from B1 said four of her starters missed the game with injuries.

“Our girls gave it all they had,” Garrett said.

“The others stepped up and did the best the could. Munford just did better. That's all there is to it. I am proud of them and we will get them next year.”

Brighton rallied in the second half and finally got on the board in the 63rd minute when Mo Whitefoot scored, but the Munford defense tightened up the rest of the way to preserve the win.

Munford keeper Alex Selby finished with 11 saves, most of which came in the second half.

monitoring the TSSAA website last year and figure to be doing the same this time around.

The playoffs brackets are expected to be posted Saturday morning.

Last year Munford had to travel to Paris for the first round and play topseeded Henry County, a team that went on to win a state title.

“You can't predict who we're going to play,” Saunders said. “A lot can happen before they post it on Saturday.”

Game recap: Munford had little trouble with Frayser on Friday, scoring 28 points in the first quarter en route to a 62-26 win.

D'Marious Exum had a huge night for the

Cougars, racking up 271 yards and three touchdowns on 28 carries. He scored on runs of one and 43 yards in the first quarter to put Munford ahead 14-0.

Frayser cut the lead to 28-20 in the second quarter, but Munford answered when Hunter Harden hit Turner Weston on an eight-yard touchdown pass before running for two scores to push the lead to 49-20.

Harden rushed for 85 yards and threw for 173 and two touchdowns.

Weston had a 59-yard touchdown run in the second quarter and Wilson Lowery caught a TD pass from Harden in the fourth quarter.

PLAYOFFS

Continued from B1 Munford, which beat Frayser 62-26 at home Friday night, is currently seeded sixth in the Class 5A state playoff bracket.

If the season ended today the Cougars (5-4) would play Ridgeway (63) in Memphis in round one on Nov. 2.

However, like Brighton, the Cougars have an excellent chance to move up the standings tomorrow night.

The Cougars will host Westwood, a team ranked 10th in the Class 2A state poll, on senior night.

Westwood is 7-2. Part of the seeding criteria is opponents' wins, so a win over the Longhorns could boost Munford's playoff seeding.

“Westwood is a wellcoached football team,” said Munford coach Matt Saunders, who will be looking to lead the Cougars into the playoffs for the second straight season. “They are coming into Munford with a 7-2 record and looking to improve on their playoff seed … We are also looking to improve our playoff seed.”

Munford didn't know its playoff fate until Week 10 last season. Saunders and his staff were closely
