Locals headed for Kuwait

T

his morning marked the departure of more than a hundred young men and women from West Tennessee, members of the 268th Military Police (MP) Company based in Ripley, as they prepare for deployment to the Middle

East. With them are 13 service members from Tipton County, many of them on their first deployment out of the country. Escorted by a Patriot Guard motorcycle unit, the 268th traveled along Highway 51 through Tipton County on its way to Camp Shelby, Miss.

The Ripley unit is part of the 168th Military Police Battalion based in Dyersburg and is seeing its first overseas deployment in more than 20 years, since last deploying in support of Operation Desert Storm.

After a short period of specialized training at Camp Shelby, the company, along with members of the 112th MP Battalion of Canton, Miss., who will serve as command and control, will head to Kuwait in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. The company’s deployment is expected to last approximately a year.

Tipton County soldiers include SSG Mark Daughtery of Munford, SSG Brandon Fletcher of Gilt Edge, SGT Christopher Fowler of Brighton, SGT Jerry Richardson of Drummonds, SPC Riean Onorati of Covington, SPC Alex Hawthorne of Drummonds, SPC Kenneth Anthony of Covington, SPC John Owens of Covington, SPC Nathan Reed of Covington, PFC Robert Stevens of Atoka, PFC Jeremy Daniels of Covington, PFC Thomas Graham of Covington and PFC Marshall Cates of Garland.

The 268th MP Company is a young unit, with many of its members new to the National Guard. Company Commander Paul Gross expects

many will mature tremendously during the deployment.

“The average age of our soldiers, E4 and below, is probably 22 years and younger,” said Gross. “And that may be skewed by a few soldiers who joined at an older age. It’s probably more like 20 to 21-years-old.

But it’s been my experience that a deployment for an average National Guard soldier who has never been deployed before speeds up the learning curve. Doing the job every day is a lot different than doing it one weekend a month, two weeks a year.

It increases their knowledge base so when they come back, they have a set of skills that they didn’t have before.”

With such a young company, Gross says safety is his top priority.

“As missions go, this one has the potential to be safer,” he said. “There is still some combat action going on in Afghanistan and Iraq, but you don’t hear too much about Kuwait.

As a commander, I have the greatest respect for safety – ensuring that they are wearing seat belts in vehicles, conducting safety checks in vehicles before driven and performing safety checks on weapons before they are carried. We injure ourselves more by our equipment than we are by the

Twenty-two year-old SPC Kenneth Anthony is on his second deployment since graduating from Covington High School in 2007 but still is excited to be deploying. The food service specialist said he appreciates the discipline and respect he has learned from the Army.

“I am excited about going,” said the four-year veteran who returned home from his last deployment in 2010. “ I have done it before but I plan on finishing my contract and then maybe going active duty.”

COMMUNITY

With a little help from our friends Chiefs volunteer at museum during annual service event

By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com For the 12th consecutive year, more than 70 sailors from Naval Support Activity MidSouth descended upon the Tipton County Museum, Veterans Memorial and

Nature Center yesterday, Wednesday, Aug. 31, volunteering their time to perform grounds maintenance and facility upkeep.

The annual community service event is one of the many taskings, newly selected Chief Petty Officers perform during a six-week initiation and training phase designed to prepare them for the increased duties and responsibilities as Navy

Chiefs.

“Volunteering is a great way to give back to the community,” said Hospital Corpsman Chief Petty Officer Randal S. Savoy. “It is one way of thanking our veterans for their sacrifices and to honor those who made the supreme sacrifice. We are truly blessed to have such a wonderful museum in our community.

It is an honor and a privilege to play a part in pre-

serving the museum and the natural beauty of the museum grounds.”

Museum director Alice Fisher said her favorite time of the year is when the men and women of the Naval Support Activity arrive in Tipton County.

“The Covington Parks and Recreation Department as well as the City of Covington and Tipton County officials are thankful for the continued sup-

Continued from A1 port of the Navy chiefs and chief selects,” said Fisher. “Maintaining such a large facility is an expensive and timeconsuming endeavor.

We feel very fortunate to have been adopted by such a wonderful group of people. As always, this group of sailors preformed much needed ground and building maintenance, saving the City of Covington and Tipton County large amounts of maintenance funds. We cannot get volunteer help like this anywhere else. They do a wonderful job, and

we are thankful to have been chosen as one of their annual community projects.”

Planning for the annual event begins in the early spring, said Fisher, with both the Covington Public Works and Parks and Recreation Departments working together to coordinate equipment, manpower and schedules.

“This is a tremendous day for us at the museum. The staff began preparation for Navy Day in May. It takes about two and a half months to orga-

nize this event. Public Works Director Robert M. Simpson and Parks & Recreation Director Amy Payne assist with planning,” said Fisher.

“This work day could not happen with help from the Public Works Department, whose staff is on hand throughout the day to assist the Navy selectees. Simpson not only provides extra manpower but also the equipment and tools necessary to clean out approximately seven to 10 tons of unwanted vegetation every year!”

Working side by side,

genuine chiefs and chief selects worked tirelessly to clear the grounds of excess undergrowth, cleared trails and cleaned out and rebuilt drainage trenches to prevent flooding.

“It’s a great opportunity to come out and give back to the community,” said Chief Boatsman Mate (select) Ricardo Allwood. “Regardless if you are from the area or not, it’s about the Chief’s mess going out and representing for the Navy and taking care of people.”

spoke. This had to be random.”

Smith said she’s confused about a possible motive.

“If he was their friend, why wouldn’t you speak? If he was their friend, why did he shoot them like a dog? If you want to kill somebody, look in the mirror, put the gun to your head and kill yourself. That way nobody has to go through what I’m going through.”

Outraged by her son’s murder and the rising crime rate in Covington, Smith said it’s time for

the community to come together.

“This crime must stop,” she said. “We need to come together and love, that’s what God is about, that’s what God wants us to do: love one another.

This was an act of the devil. I mean, it’s got to stop. Crime is out of control in Covington.”

In addition to his parents - including father Stanley Heaston and stepfather John D. Smith Sr. - Heaston left behind brothers Nathan Mason, Cordera Mason, Corey Heaston and

John D. Smith Jr. and maternal grandparents Rev. Donnell Mason and Mattie Randle.

“I couldn’t imagine him being my son, but as I looked at other parts of his body I realized he was.”

Heaston was airlifted to the Regional Medical Center (MED) in Memphis. He died at 4:53 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 20.

Dunn was treated at Baptist Memorial Hospital-Tipton and released. He is expected to make a full recovery.

Four days after the shooting, Covington police charged Tony Dewayne Davis, 29, with Heaston’s murder.

He was also charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm and attempted seconddegree murder in the shooting of Tedrick Dunn.

He is currently in the Tipton County Correctional Facility.

His bond was set at $250,000.

Remembered as being laidback, humble and sweet, family and friends said Heaston was a happy person who was looking forward to his future.

“He was waiting on his 21st birthday - which is Sept. 14 - to go to truck driving school,” Smith shared.

Instead, Heaston was buried at Townsend Cemetery on Aug. 27, the anniversary of the death of his younger brother, Joshua D. Smith.

“My birthday’s coming up too,” Smith said Friday, “so this is really hard.”

Though she was not there at the time of the shooting, Smith said witnesses have shared with her the series of events that led to her son’s death.

She said she has seen Davis around the neighborhood, but doesn’t know him.

GOVERNMENT

Covington passes $37.8M budget

By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com Last week’s board meeting was not as contentious as the month’s previous meeting of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Covington.

This week’s business included the passing of ordinance 1622, which kept the city’s tax rate at $1.19, the same as last year’s, per $100 of taxable property, real and personal. Ordinance 1621 was also passed on its third reading, adopting the annual budget for fiscal year 2011-2012. Covington has an expected revenue of $20,581,405 for the upcoming year, and when added to its existing balance, gives the city over $37.8 million to meet its needs. The city’s expenses are expected to amount to $21.2 million. Also passed on its second and final reading was the city’s 501(c)3 budget giving $253,965 to 21 various charity organizations.

Chief Bennie Carver reported the city now has a “Cash for Crime” tips hotline, 476-9036, at the Covington Police Department. Carver told the board they are working on a second line, which would allow citizens to call the lead officer on duty.

“This is a line that goes to Chief Bennie Carver and Chief Bennie Carver only,” said Mayor David Gordon.

“All information is kept confidential. We ask that the citizens use this line and help us to deter crime in our community.”

City treasurer Jere Hadley told the board June’s sales tax collection almost put the city over $3 million for the year. Covington collected $2,962,436 in sales tax for the year.

“The sales tax is a major revenues source for the city,” said Hadley. “We collected more than $100,000 more

FEST

Continued from A1 The band Walk 149 will wrap up the musical lineup at 6:45 p.m. Other acts scheduled to play include Saved By Grace, Steppin’ Out Faith, Three for Thee, Victory Sounds, Ronnie Twisdale and the Fincher Family Quartet.

Twisdale said the women’s group at the church will be holding a bake sale that will include 50 to 60 items. Fried pickles, barbecue nachos, hamburgers, hot dogs and funnel cakes will also be on the menu.

“If there’s a carnival food you like,” Twisdale said, “we have it.”

GUARD

Continued from A1 the Tipton County group is 21-year-old Marshall Cates. He is looking forward to embarking on his first deployment.

“I am excited about going,” said Cates, a military police officer.

“Well, excited and nervous at the same time because its my first deployment but I joined the Guard because I was looking for a new adventure.”

The company is expected to train at Camp Shelby for approximately a month before actually departing for Kuwait. More than 20,000 Tennessee men and women have deployed with the Tennessee Army and Air National Guard since Sept. 11, 2001.

The soldiers are expected to return to the United States next fall.

We have to do a better job preparing people for employment.

- Alderman Shelvie Rose Sr.

than we budgeted for this year.”

Alderman Tommy Black expressed his gratitude to Covington business owners for operating their businesses in the city.

“We want to thank the business folks for opening their business,” said Black. “We truly appreciate you.”

Hadley also presented to the board for their approval the annual property tax receivable. The total assessed value of property in Covington is $182,053,249, which gave the city $2,153,001 in property tax revenue for the 2010-11 fiscal year.

“We normally realize about 96 to 97 percent collection of that each year,” said Hadley.

In additions to the agenda, Alderman Shelvie Rose spoke to

the board of the lack of education in math, reading and science and how it impacts business in the United States.

“I was watching a news show about the Siemens Manufacturing Company,” said Rose.

“They said they have 3,400 jobs available and they have had to hire recruiters to try to find people to fill the jobs. There are jobs out there that do not have qualified people to fill them because they don’t have the skills required.

Businesses are losing money because they cannot find people to do the work. Our biggest problem, and I’m not talking about blacks or whites, I’m talking about both, all races of people in the country, we have to do a better job preparing people for employment. We need to improve on our math, reading and science.”

The Board of Mayor and Alderman meet the second and fourth Tuesday of the month at 5:30pm at City Hall.

The public is invited to attend.

Heritage Day: Crafts,, sonorati@covingtonleader.com food and fun

By SHERRI ONORATI

When the leaves start to turn and the air gets crisp, you know its fall in Tipton County. Fall also means it’s time for Covington’s Heritage Day – a day of family fun, great music and shopping galore!

The 16th annual Heritage Day will be held on Saturday, Sept.

24 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Covington’s historic court square.

Fall in Tipton County means festivals and the season is in full swing with the annual transformation of the square into a one-stop, familyfriendly exposition.

More than a hundred vendors will be on hand, offering a variety of arts and crafts, perfect for the start of the holiday shopping season. Also, the shops around the square will be opened for business.

To feed the masses, cowboy cooking will be back with Grumpy and Happy. If prairie food is not your style, there will be a selection of “fair” type food at various locations around the square, with wonderful aromas

that will be sure to tempt even the diehard dieter.

Festival attendees will find plenty to do for the youngest family members also. The children’s parade will start at 9 a.m. and the theme for this year’s march around the square is “super hero.”

The Kid’s Corner will feature fun activities, including an opportunity to paint a car. Sponsored by the Tennessee Big Iron, young festival participants will be able to paint a demolition derby car, which will be featured in the upcoming BBQ Fest’s demolition derby race.

The Tennessee National Guard will also be supplying a rock wall for those brave enough to face the challenge of climbing to its extreme heights.

The Covington Chamber Center will be the location of a celebration of the 100th anniversary of Byars Hall High School. BHHS alumni will hold a dedication ceremony honoring the former high school.

Music will be played continuously at the Court Square Park and benches

will be available to sit and relax. Square dancing will begin at 11 a.m. on the square’s east side and a Civil War encampment will be held on the court house lawn.

“The square is a destination point and we have Heritage Days to get people up on the square,” said CovingtonTipton County Chamber of Commerce director Lee Johnston. “It’s just a great family friendly day to enjoy each other and it’s also a great day to enjoy the atmosphere of small-town living.”

Heritage Day is a free family event that begins at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 24. Vendors are welcomed and booth space is still available.

For more information on the festival or to reserve a booth spot, please call the Covington-Tipton County Chamber of Commerce at 901-4769727.

GUEST EDITORIAL

How to stimulate job creation Tipton County has been hit hard over the last few years, especially in manufacturing. Quebecor shut down operations along with Bowater, Intercraft left town, Turner moved dairy production out of Covington, and many remaining factories have laid off down to skeleton crews. There have been some recent bright spots such as the Unilever expansion and news that the old Bowater building will house some jobs for a company out of Florida. Although an improvement over 2009 – 2010, unemployment is still nearly 11 percent in Tipton County, almost 2 points higher than the national average.

Next week, President Barrack Obama will announce a new plan to stimulate job growth in the United States.

JIM HARDIN The last plan he offered in 2009 cost over $800 billion and unemployment grew 1.5 percent, settling now at 1 percent higher than when the stimulus began. A lot of money went to companies like GE which created a few temporary jobs installing windmills and solar panels that won’t have a return on investment for over 40 years. Many companies received grants that modestly grew sales forces in the United States to peddle Chinese-made goods. The list is long of such foolish spending, and all we can say 2 ½ years later is that we grew the debt by over $3 trillion and nearly hit double-digit unemployment.

Sadly, it’s really not complicated if you want to really create job growth. Here’s what I would do this year: 1. Eliminate every regulation where the benefit does not outweigh the cost to jobs and economic growth. For example, remove restrictions on industries based on environmental protection designed to protect areas but add noting to clean air or water – Anwar is a frozen, uninhabited wasteland.

2. Drill – drill – drill! The cost of oil would go down with increased world supplies and we could let the Arabs and Hugo Chavez find other markets for their oil. Americans would have jobs producing oil for America.

3. Allow for quick approval of small refinery construction close to the massive points of use of fuel. Costs often go up because of refinery bottlenecks. Many smaller operations around the country near major markets would significantly reduce production and transportation costs. Refineries employ lots of people!

4. Lawsuit reform – Loser pay and significant caps on awards would keep the many frivolous lawsuits out of the courts. When there is a legitimate case, rather than multi-million dollar settlements whose costs are passed on to consumers or result in lost jobs, provide for smaller settlements and requirements that leaders involved lose their jobs.

5. Simplify tax codes! For companies, provide a federal flat tax on revenue and taxes on the value of imports. For individuals, a national sales tax.

Outside of that, the only other federal revenues should come from fees for use of certain services (i.e., national parks, museums, post office, etc.).

Everyone invests in their government, and for those services used by just a few folks, they pay for it. A simplified and predictable tax code would take much uncertainty out of the markets and encourage business expansion, and thus job growth.

President Obama won’t propose the above as it would go against the grain of his primary constituency. Environmentalist who would rather save a slug than create a job for families. Lawyers who want easy access to deep pockets. Tax accountants and lawyers who make a living helping businesses keep up with our insane tax system. Needless to say, President Obama didn’t ask for my advice, but if you see him, please feel free to pass these ideas along.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thankful for hospital staff Dear editor, I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all the management and all of the second floor staff at Baptist Memorial Hospital-Tipton. In the recent stay my sister, Jill Ruffin, all her family and friends were treated with the utmost care and respect.

All of the second floor staff went far beyond their duties to make Jill and all of her family and friends comfortable.

a single complaint from any staff member.

In most hospitals they would limit the number of visitors, but in this case they opened up another room and put couches and chairs for every one to be next to Jill and to be comfortable.

CELEBRATE MUNFORD 2011

Committee announces gold sponsors Celebrate Munford, Inc. is proud to announce the Gold Sponsors for this year’s event: Munford Tire & Brake – Car Show, and Martin & White Mechanical Contractors – Art & Photography Contest and Exhibit.

Margarette Patrick, Chair of Celebrate Munford 2011 said, “It’s an exciting time for the Celebrate Munford committee as we welcome back Munford Tire & Brake as our car show sponsor, and welcome new sponsor, Martin & White Mechanical Contractors.

We appreciate the commitment from both of them and look forward to making lasting relationships that will prosper the event and the community.”

Car Show Jason Sechrist, owner of Munford Tire & Brake located at 516 Munford Avenue, is returning for a third year as the car show sponsor. Through his support and the coordination of American Legion Post 67, the Post is able to send area youth to Boys and Girls State, send packages to our troops in

war zones, and continue the cookie visits to the veterans and their families at the VA hospital. Said car show coordinator Al Lightfoot, “Without this support, we would not be able to continue supporting our veterans at home and abroad.

We greatly thank Munford Tire & Brake and Celebrate Munford Inc. for their generosity and the opportunity to host the car show to raise the needed funds.”

The car show will again be held in City Park at the corner of College and Douglas streets, and will feature antique cars, trucks, bikes and military vehicles. On-site registration starts at 8:00 a.m. and ends at 11:00 a.m. and costs $25 per vehicle. The first 100 registrants will receive an event t-shirt, dash plaque and goodie bag. Judging begins at 11 a.m. and the awards ceremony is at 3 p.m.

Donations for door prizes and goodie bag stuffers are needed. If interested, please call Al Lightfoot at 837-8039 or email at albertlightfoot2@mac.com and pick up will be gladly arranged.

Art & Photography This year, the art and photography contest is sponsored by Martin & White Mechanical Contractors, who specialize in HVAC, process piping and service.

The art and photography contest is designed for all area youth - grades kindergarten through twelfth - and adults.

Works are judged in eight categories: Elementary School Art, Middle School Art, High School Art, Adult Art, Middle School Photography, High School Photography, Adult Photography and Overall.

Interested applicants may obtain complete rules, instructions and entry form by visiting www.munford.com, by calling Stacy Craig at 837-5955 or visiting Munford City Hall at 1397 Munford Avenue.

On the day of Celebrate Munford, Saturday, Sept. 17, the contest entries will be on display at the Munford-Tipton County Memorial Public Library at 1476 Munford Avenue. Contest winner’s names will also appear on www.munford.com.

Got a dentist appointment in the morning to have the permanent crown put on the tooth I broke while eating popcorn. Trouble is, it hurts when I bite down on the temporary, so something else is going on. Probably end up with a root canal.

Yuk! I spent the morning in Jackson at a Soil Conservation Summer Meeting. John Erwin got his Farmer of the Year Award for my district.

He's headed to state now.

Bonnie Holloway and I rode over together and we always enjoy that.

Good meeting, good meal, good company.

I had a really big day last Tuesday. Took my dad, Kenneth Weir, to Memphis for a checkup and he was fine. Brought him home and headed to Jackson with Elizabeth and Lyla to do paperwork on her new car and to eat lunch and do some shopping. Great day.

This week's Farm Report: Started shelling corn Saturday. Grain is kinda small in parts of the field, better in others. Moving to our house tomorrow and hope it's better. Cotton is starting to pop open; won't be long before it and soybeans are ready. We need rain though.

We had the annual Watkins Reunion at the Covington Church of Christ on Sunday. About 20 gathered to have a big potluck meal and look at photos and reminisce.

Only Gilbert Watkins was present of the children of Ed and Nettie Bell Crump Watkins. Ruth W. Mulhearn of Jackson and Charles Watkins of Louisiana didn't make the trip, but we had a big time.

Congratulations to Tanner and Chrissy Wakefield on the birth of a daughter, Molly Palmer, on Aug. 16! She weighed seven pounds, nine ounces. Best wishes to this family.

Sympathy is extended to the family and many friends of Jill Ruffin, who passed away yesterday.

We just had a prayer request for her yesterday at church and I saw on Facebook this morning she had died. Sterling and Caroline and all the family are in my prayers.

Kenneth Mason is home from the hospital, as well as Grant Edmonds.

Continue to keep these two men in your prayers.

Jimmy Weir is recovering from surgery and Donna Sonwineski got good results from a heart cath. So many are on our prayer list, along with all our military men and women.

This Friday night is the night for Ladies 1st Friday Dinner and Movie Night. Hope we have a big crowd to go.

Happy Birthday this week goes to Pat Stephenson on Aug. 28, to David Watkins, Jeff Hanks and Andrew Evans on Sept. 1, and to Wayne Kuykendall and Andrea Weed on the 3rd.

This week's Stuff You Didn't Know: If you were to spell out numbers, how far would you have to go until you would find the letter "A"? One thousand.

This week's Farmers Almanac Quote: "Expect rain if a garden rake falls over with its tines pointing upward". I'm going to go throw down some garden rakes!

Just Sayin'. Hurricanes and earthquakes on the East Coast of the United States - the East Coast?!

And they say we can't pray to God at a football game.

It’s here! Tomorrow’s the big day! Friday, Sept. 2, around “Burton Ridge” in Jamestown, county of Tipton, state of Tennessee, they’ll all be coming back home one more time! Those Burtons, Basses and Alstons have arrived!

For the next three or four days the hills will come alive again with laughter, stories being told, lots of teasings, of course, church service and lots of good, downhome soul food. A picnic in the park will feature a good oldfashioned family barbecue, plus family fun and games. I hope to see all of my family once more, can’t wait!

All prayers were answered regarding (Hurricane) Irene last weekend when the storm was much lighter than predicted. I was happy to see that there wasn’t too much devastation from all of it; God truly is good!

Oct. 22, Jamestown Community Health Organization (JCHO) will celebrate its second annual fundraiser, “A Night of Elegance,” at the Covington Country Club. It’ll be your night to shine once again. All tickets will be $25; you can contact president Minister Pearl Andrews,

sonator. He has become a personal friend of our class, as he is always our entertainer for everything we do. He stays booked far in advance.

Thank you, Butch, and Johnny Grimes, our class organizer, for getting all of this together. I’m telling you the truth, these seniors did a return to their youth for about an hour. Even the gentlemen on the second and third floors brought chairs out of their rooms and watched and stood up and applauded. The ladies on the ground floor even had their hands kissed as Elvis always did in his performances.

Their smiles lit up the audience. It was a very sweet night to remember.

Well, speaking of moments and nights, Rush Limbaugh is now telling us that all the mass weather coverage was done for political gain.

Who knows? However, it did save a lot of lives.

This storm is just the beginning for this time of year. I’m confused a little about global warming: some say yes, others says no. All the weeds on the side of the roads in Tipton County are taller than the corn in some areas. We have to do a lot of extra watering around our place. Oh yes, Dunlap Retirement Home is hav-

ing their yearly yard sale this Friday and Saturday.

Please come and support this great cause.

Salem Presbyterian Church Worship is at 11 a.m. each Sunday morning.

Rev. Charles Todd is the minister. Everyone always welcome.

Women’s Bible Study will meet at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 1 at the church. Sunday night youth groups will start on Sept. 11 at 5:30 p.m.

Dear Salem: Thank you so much for all cards, calls, gifts and prayers during my hospital stay and while in rehab. We appreciate all that you do. Love, Francis Happy birthdays this week go to Lisa McDaniel, Kevin Scallions, Meridith McDaniel, Jennifer Fisher and Marge Smith. Hope they are each the greatest!

anyone that can, to come on Thursday morning at 10 and help us put the stuff out if you can!

Another thing you may not realize is that we are taking donations of items for the yard sale all three days, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. So if you have something you would like to get rid of and don’t want to hassle with a yard sale yourself, please bring it over here.

Preferably Thursday, but if you can’t bring it till Friday or Saturday that’s fine.

I have some wonderful news. We have two new residents join us, one came this past Wednesday and the other one will be here on the 6th. We’d like to welcome Ms. Jean Wright from Millington, we’re so glad you’re here Ms. Jean!

WELCOME! And then there’s Mr. Jim Downs from Southaven, MS. Welcome Mr. Jim! Tune in next week because we have one more moving in.

Until then, please love your neighbor as yourself, but love God the most.

They say sunshine cures a lot of things; we ought to all be feeling pretty well. However, the last time I was in direct sunshine on the law mower, with no sunglasses, I burnt my eyes.

That was just pure stupidity on my part; it was not long after my cataract surgery. Is it stupidity or memory loss? I’m sure they are cousins. There’s nothing like your youth, so enjoy every moment of it; I’m talking to you youth in your thirties, forties and fifties. I don’t forget anymore to wear those sunglasses, that’s for sure. Instead of calling our nursing homes “nursing” homes, they should be called “welcome” homes; whatever they are, they certainly are a blessing.

Speaking of homes, Charlie and I were at the Germantown Plantation Retirement home last Friday night; a small group of my high school members, the Humes High School Class of 1964, was invited. We all enjoyed watching the real “true” seniors (in their 80s and 90s) enjoy watching our one and one Butch Cassidy, the only true Elvis imper-

Hello everybody! Sure hope you’re all doing well this wonderful week. We could not be more happy that it’s finally getting to where you can breathe outside! The fall is one of the nicest times of the year in my opinion, I mean, I like them all, it’s just that the fall weather is much more pleasing to all of us when it comes to comfort.

September brings us several resident birthdays. Mr. Jerry Fuller’s is on the 30th, Ms. Polly White’s is on the 17th, and Mr. Harold Nelms is on the 29th. And may I just “mention” that Mr. Harold Nelms will be celebrating his 95th birthday.

A special happy birthday to you Mr. Harold and to Ms. Polly and Mr. Jerry.

Now this is really ironic, but we have three September birthdays and all three on our staff and they are all on the Sept.

2, now how about that?

So…. “Happy Birthday” to Esther Dowd, Marcia Murray, and Alan Byrd.

We wish you all the very best and very blessed birthday ever.

Well our big push this week is our annual year sale. We are so excited about having it, because it’s also a fund raiser for us. One of the things that makes our yard sale unique is that it is all for a donation to Dunlap Retirement Center.

Nothing will be marked, although, if I have furniture, I do have a “must have” price in mind for it, but everything is negotiable!

It all begins at 8 a.m.

Friday morning, and will go until dark. I thought about closing it this year at 6 p.m., but I just can’t do it, as that’s the time people start getting home from work and may want to come. So I’ll be out there till dark if my legs hold up!

Then on Saturday morning it will open at 8 a.m. as well, but close at noon. By then, I’m ready to put it all up till next year! I really want to ask

‘Dr.Vip’ closes chapter in Tipton County history

By Sherri Onorati sonorat@covingtonleader,com

August 31 marks the end of

an era – one that a series of circumstances led to its bychance evolvement in Tipton County.

Dr. Dejo Viprakasit is retiring after more than 33 years of practicing medicine as the first and only urologist in Tipton County.

Viprakasit, born in the province of Trang, Thailand, graduated from Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok and then moved to the United States to continue his medical education at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University.

Throughout his career, he has set goals for himself to be the best in his field and worked hard to achieve them, including becoming a member of the Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, a world renown professional organization. To become a member of FACS, a doctor must complete a stringent series of educational and professional requirements and pass a rigorous evaluation and be certified as a member of the American Board of Medical Specialties. Doctors who have obtain this highly coveted designation are considered to be the best in their field.

After completing his training, Viprakasit explained he decided on the states of Kentucky and Tennessee as his choices to possibly move to because they were warmer than New York.

“I put my advertisement in the Tennessee medical association journal in 1978 and Tommy Hatcher, who was the administrator of the hospital at the time, saw my advertisement and called me.”

At that time, the hospital still belonged to Tipton County and was only a 70-bed facility.

The county was in need of an urologist, a doctor who specializes and treats urinary tract diseases and male genital problems.

“Tommy and Jere Hadley picked me up at the airport and showed me around,” said Viprakasit. “I grew up in a small town so I was used to small towns and it wasn’t too far from a big city. I also grew up on a farm so when I come here so I thought this is good too; I can practice medicine and have a farm. That’s the reason I came to Tipton County.”

Viprakasit says he has never regretted his decision to move to Tipton County.

“When I first started in March 1978, I talked to an Italian doctor who told me don’t go to Tennessee because the south people are prejudiced. He told me I wasn’t going to have any patients, but it was not true. My practice has grown every year until it peaked about 10 years ago, because I couldn’t work anymore because I was getting old,” he added, smiling. “My patients have always been very supportive. I have always stressed the importance of preventive medicine and now they tell me, ‘Who going to tell me to keep my cholesterol down?’ or ‘Who is going to tell me now who stop that smoking and exercise?’”

Viprakasit is really proud of his adopted hometown and also ran a farm, breeding cattle for 29 years. He worked hard to become a vital member of the community, which also included joining the Covington Lions Club, Today, he is the longest serving member.

“I am a member of Lions Club,” he said very proudly. “I joined in March 1978 and I have enjoyed being a member.

Even though I am busy, it is worth being a member. I like to serve the people.”

Viprakasit’s wife, Sue, also practiced medicine in Tipton County, serving as an anesthesiologist until her retirement three years ago. His children, Rosie and Davis, graduated from Covington High School and were the first set of siblings to graduate as class valedictorians for their respective classes.

“My daughter Rosie Hauck has her Ph. D and is an associate professor at the College of Business, Illinois State University,” he said proudly.

“My son Davis is a urologist and a assistant professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.”

The decision to close his practice after 33 years was a difficult choice for Dr. Vipraskasit and his staff but he knew it was time.

“Teresa Blankenship has been with me for 31 years and Donna Lunceford for 17 years but change is enviable. We are always moving forward. There is always another chapter,” he said.

“I realize that life comes to an end one day and so you have to set up what you are going to do step by step and I’ve been doing that. All the kids are grown; they have their own jobs so

it’s time for me to take care of myself. Even if I keep working, I will probably not get any more benefit than what I have.

I’m going to travel, see differences in the world, do volunteer work – do what I want to do.”

Baptist Memorial HospitalTipton is working hard to find a replacement for Dr. Vipraskasit, said administrator and chief executive officer Barry “Skipper” Bondurant and hopes to be able to make an announcement by December on the status of its search.

Bondurant says the hospital, with Vipraskasit’s assistance, has been searching for a replacement for the past 18 months.

“We will never be able to replace Dr. Vip,” said Bondurant. “He is one of a kind and has been a godsend to this community as a urologist. It has been an extremely difficult process but I am about 80 to 90 percent confident we will have someone by Dec. 1.”

After retiring, Viprakasit plans of traveling and spending his time volunteering.

“I like to go other places,” Viprakasit said. “I plan on going back and forth between

Thailand and here. I want to go back to my hometown and enjoy where I grew up. I’m going to help at the local university and teach young people to be doctors.”

Dr. Vipraksait’s last day of seeing patients will be Aug. 30.

Patients have been invited to pick up their medical records from the office by that date or they may send a written request for the records to P.O. Box 388, Covington, TN 38019.

“I want to say thank you to the people of Tipton County who supported my practice from the beginning to the end.

My decision to come to Tipton County was the right decision for me.

“You can’t put a value on what he has meant to this community,” added Bondurant.

“Without him, our residents would have to travel to Memphis or Jackson to receive their care. He is an amazing person and has been a phenomenal asset to the health care community in general. He is just a superb human being.”

150 Years Ago: August 1861

The Civil War in Tipton County On August 20, 1861, Captain A. B. Gray requested that the two 8-inch howitzer cannon, with shell and ammunition, and some guns on barbette carriages at Randolph, be sent for use at Camp Redan, Island No. Ten. At Fort Pillow during Aug. 23 - 24 Generals’ Polk and Pillow held a conference. Col. John D. Martin was in command of an infantry regiment there.

Col. John P. McCown temporarily commanded the 4th, 13th, 15th, 154th Tennessee Infantry, Blythe’s Mississippi Infantry Battalion encamped near Benton, Mo. Hudson’s Miss. Battery, some Tennessee artillery, and cavalry from Fort Pillow arrived. In a letter dated the 24th J. H. Buford of the 4th Infantry wrote: “I saw on my route here from Madrid about 30 prisoners that our cavalry had captured a few days ago. I tell you they were hard looking fellows. There are fully half of the citizens in this country Lincoln men or women for the majority of the men of that point belong to Army…

I wish we could get into a fight; like to see how my gun shoots. I am in one of the finest regiments that ever left Tennessee. It numbers 931 rank and file. There will be by tomorrow night 6 Tennessee regiments and a brigade of Mississippians…I wished while on the march that I had joined a cavalry company. My feet were worn out nearly. The evening we got here I sat down and waited for our wagons to come up to pitch our tents; got cold and had to be carried to my tent, couldn’t bear my weight on my feet. I could scarcely walk. The next morning it rained on us about 3 hours and the day we got here the country was very low and swampy and we had to wade a good deal. My boots would get full of water and it scalled my feet...

We passed through slip of country about 25 miles wide that was the prettiest country I ever saw. It was so level… and as rich as could be and the best corn I ever saw… they raise no cotton up here.”

Scott Catterton's mother came out to the center last week and did tap dancing lessons.

Everybody did real well and they have been practicing for the Christmas holidays. We want to thank Mrs. Columbus for coming out here to the center for working with the service recipients on crafts. We appreciate it very much.

I saw a Memphis paper this morning and saw where France or Lewis Napoleon was going to recognize the Southern Confederacy in conjunction with England.

If that be true I suppose this war will soon be brought to a close. However, I would like to be in one battle first to pay the Yankees for that march I have to take out here…”

Gen. Benjamin Cheatham arrived at Sikeston on the 26 on his way to Benton. By the 28th Confederate generals had determined to withdraw from Missouri. Gen, Gideon Pillow wrote Gen. Polk: “You are in possession at Fort Pillow of the only strong strategical position on the river below Columbus (Kentucky) the gateway entry to the interior of Tennessee.”

For the past 3 months, the men of Hill’s Cavalry had been encamped at Clopton, drilling, recruiting and on patrol. Holmes Cummins wrote: “I recall the martial forms and proud carriage of the fiery Colonel Hill, as he formed his cavalry at Clopton; and those grounds, for so long a time consecrated to the meetings of worshipers of the lowly Jesus, now the drill fields of the boys in grey.”

On July 25 cavalry companies from Hardeman, Haywood, Shelby and Tipton formed a battalion. Captain Thomas Logwood was elected Lieutenant Colonel and Captain Charles H. Hill of Tabernacle elected Major.

Lieut. John U. Green of Covington was promoted Captain of Hill’s Company.

At “Camp Clopton” on Aug. 31 Lieut. Philip B. Spence enrolled 88 of Hill’s men as “Confederate” soldiers.

In 1923, the Covington Leader reported that most of Tipton’s Confederate soldiers were mustered into the service at Clopton: “Some of the old soldiers love to tell us how the young heroes met to drill and prepare for the service, and the young women would be on hand with ginger cakes, cider, smiles, etc., to give encouragement and make the occasion pleasant.”

The staff and service recipients want to thank the ladies from Hebron Christ Community Church for bringing those delicious snacks for us to enjoy here at the center and break time.

Congratulations to Mr. Martha Drumwright on the birth of her grandson that her daughter had.

We rejoice with them very much. Some of the staff and service recipients went outside to stretch, get some exercise and enjoy the day.

The staff and service recipients want to thank the Bucksnort Grocery for their support with the

fish fry and our parents and relatives and friends for those donations for this worth cause. We are very grateful for gracious donations we received on Aug. 26. Parents, relatives, friends and community members have our thanks and gratitude for their generosity.

The center will be closed on Monday, Sept.

5 for Labor Day and will reopen Sept. 6.

We hope everybody has a nice holiday weekend. Some of the service recipients went to the other room to exercise and to play Wii games on TV.

COVINGTON—The Northwest Tennessee Workforce Board recognized outstanding participants during the Annual Meeting held on Tuesday, August 16.

Paula Gilbert of Covington was awarded the 2010-11 Outstanding Participant for Tipton County.

Gilbert has faced many challenges in the last few years. In December 2008 she had brain surgery from a rare birth defect and upon returning to work from medical leave, she learned that Quebecor World would be shutting down due to low volume and downsizing of the company. To add to the devastation, her husband also worked there, and the two of them were being laid off at the same time.

After 20 years and progressively moving up to Account Manager in Customer Service, but without a degree, Gilbert knew she had to further her education.

The Tennessee Career Center at Covington awarded Chapman a Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Needs-Based Scholarship to enroll in Dyersburg State Community College Jimmy Naifeh Center in Covington to purse an Associate Degree in Business with an emphasis in Accounting.

Gilbert enrolled in August 2009 at DSCC to get the credentials she would need to find future employment. Her husband Jeff chose to attend truck driving school so that he could be trained and go to work immediately.

From the beginning, Gilbert was a good student, joining Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society and earning an internship at the Corps of Engineers Finance Center in Millington. She graduated in May 2011 Magna Cum Laude and was subsequently offered a full-time position with the Corps of Engineers as an Accounting Tech. Her goal is to continue to take classes and get her Bachelors degree.

Gilbert said, “With my degree, good grades, and work performance I earned a permanent position at the Corp. By continuing my education at DSCC, I will have the opportunity to be promoted within the company. I am grateful for the Career Center’s assistance in helping me continue my education.”

Delores Hays, WIA Case Manager, states, “Paula is the true example of what is possible if you keep your eye on the prize. We are proud of her accomplishments and how well she has overcome the obstacles in her life.”

Paula and her husband Jeff have three children: Mark, Jade, and Daniel. They attend Oak Grove Baptist Church.

Carl Perkins Center receives financial boost With the help of recent donations, three local Carl Perkins Centers for the Prevention of Child Abuse are able to provide continuous support to western Tennessee families facing the effects of child abuse.

Centers in Haywood, Lauderdale and Tipton counties each received a $2,500 donation from the Monsanto Fund, which will help maintain current programs and aid caregivers and children in their efforts to preserve and improve the quality of family life.

The donations were provided through America’s Farmers Grow CommunitiesSM, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund. The program allows farmers to sign up for the chance to direct a $2,500 donation to a local nonprofit organization. Local farmers Janet Willis, Vernon McBride and Andy Pinner were selected as the winners for Haywood, Lauderdale and Tipton counties, respectively, and each chose to direct the $2,500 donation to their county Carl Perkins Center.

Each center used the $2,500 donation to meet their individual needs, but all three centers kept the same ultimate goal in mind: to provide free programs and services for victims of child abuse and their families.

Recently, the center in Tipton County completed renovations to add more usable space in the facility. The funds supported these renovations and will also help with coordination of the Child Protective Investigative Team (CPIT). This multidisciplinary team represents prosecution, law enforcement, mental and medical health, as well as child protective and social services for those affected by child abuse.

“The Carl Perkins Center services and programs are provided at no cost, so the need for funding is constant in order to maintain a steady level of services in the communities we serve,” said Bethany Kirby, Tipton County Director.

With the help of the donations through America’s Farmers Grow Communities,SM each center will be able to continue its intervention and prevention efforts to better the lives of children and families in Haywood, Lauderdale and Tipton counties.

Visit www.growcommunities.com to learn more about America’s Farmers Grow Communities. The program is part of a broad commitment by Monsanto Fund to invest in farm communities, in order to highlight the important contributions farmers make every day to our society. From Aug. 1 through Nov. 30, 2011, farmers can apply online at www.growcommunities.com, or call 1.877.267.3332 to apply by phone.

CHS, TRA, MHS open league schedules Friday

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com It's only Week 2, but Covington, Munford and Tipton-Rosemark Academy all play key league games at home Friday night that could have playoff ramifications down the road.

Covington (2-0) opens up District 13AA play at home against Dyersburg.

The Chargers have outscored their two opponents this year 81-30, but may have to go to battle without Carlos Williams and Terence Pierson, the team's top two rushers.

Williams, who has scored six touch-

downs and rushed for 362 yards the past two games, dislocated his shoulder late last game. Pierson is also nursing an injured shoulder.

“Questionable would be a nice way to put it,” Covington head coach Marty Wheeler said when asked to describe the status of Williams and Pierson.

“If he's (Williams) not able to go, we'll go with Johnston White. I have all the confidence in the world in him. We won't change our game plan at all.”

Dyersburg enters the game at 1-0 following a 51-0 win over Fayette-Ware last week.

Munford (0-2) plays its first District

13-AAA game of the season against Hardin County, which is 0-1 after a 28-6 loss to Chester County last week.

In last week's loss to Covington, Munford quarterbacks Hunter Harden and Stephen Stewart entered the game nursing injuries.

Both saw significant action and got through the game without any injuries.

“We should be about as healthy as we've been,” Munford head coach Matt Saunders said.

“I've told the guys the first two weeks are over. We're 0-0 in district play. It would be great to start the district 1-0. That's something we've never

done before.”

TRA (0-1) opens it's DII-A-West schedule against Fayette Academy (02), a 52-33 loser to FACS last week.

Rebel head coach Dodd Gengenbach was hoping to start the season with a win last week, but feels like his team learned some things in a 48-12 loss to Halls.

“Even though we didn't get the result we wanted Friday, it provided us with some information that we needed," said Gengenbach. "If we can eliminate some of the mistakes we made on offense I think we'll be in pretty good shape.”

Williams propels Chargers past MHS

White's three interceptions preserve Covington's lead down three stretch

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com It did not take an ESPN analyst to figure out how and why Covington defeated Munford on Friday night.

Three words – Carlos Williams and turnovers – were Munford's downfall and Covington's savior in front of a packed house at Munford.

Williams rushed for 274 yards and three touchdowns on just 14 carries and Munford turned it over six times, including twice inside the Covington five-yard line, as the Chargers (2-0) broke a two-game losing streak against Munford (0-2) with a 28-10 win.

A play made by Williams on Covington's opening possession served as a harbinger of things to come.

Lined up as the punter on fourth and long, Williams bobbled the snap and then picked it up on the bounce and raced 67 yards for a touchdown, breaking numerous tackles on the way.

Williams couldn't help but smile recounting the play.

“I saw the pressure coming and I just dropped it,” Williams said. “I just let instinct take over.

A hit by Munford's Corey Crowe jars the ball away from Covington's Carlos Burton during first-quarter action Friday To be honest, I was surprised I night in Munford. Covington won the game 28-10. Photo by Jeff Ireland scored.”

Williams scored on runs of 65 and 50 yards in the second quarter.

Midway through the third period, Williams fumbled at Munford's 32, again picked it up on the bounce and ran to the Munford one-yard line.

Two plays later Terence Pierson punched it in to give Covington a 28-3 lead with 6:16 left in the quarter.

“He's a playmaker,” Covington coach Marty Wheeler said.

“At times we did a good job of blocking up front for him. We gave him a little bit of a seam here and there. A running back like that just needs a little bit and he does the rest.”

Munford had plenty of chances to get back in the game.

Trailing 14-0, Munford drove deep into Covington territory before Covington's Johnston White picked off a tipped Hunter Harden pass at the Covington four.

Late in the third quarter Munford drove 59 yards on nine plays to the Covington oneinch line. But Covington's Carlos Burton recovered a fumbled exchange to preserve the Chargers' 28-3 lead.

With 5:57 left in the game, White intercepted Stewart at SEE CHARGERS, PAGE B10

MHS gets revenge over CHS in volleyball

By JEFF IRELAND, STEVE HOLT jireland@covingtonleader.com Munford got a little bit of revenge Tuesday night at home, but it certainly didn't come easy.

Coming off a five-game loss at Covington just five days ago, the Lady Cougars volleyball team rallied from two games to one down to win in five (25-9, 23-25, 22-25, 25-21, 15-3).

Following an Allie Moss kill, the Lady Chargers led game four 20-18 and were just five points from sweeping the season series with Munford.

But Covington managed just four points the rest of the match, suffering its first loss of the season.

"It's all mental," Covington coach Erica Jackson said. "Things kind of flip-flopped today. It was their house. More people ... Communication is a big issue for us.

We're getting it, but we're not there

yet."

Game five was all Munford from the start.

The Lady Cougars jumped out to a 6-1 lead. Following a Covington timeout, the lead expanded to 12-3.

Munford freshman Cecily Gable, who led Munford with 18 kills, got hot in the final game with four kills and Sami Jo Schulz added two, including a big one that pushed the score to 14-3.

"She (Cecily) was pumped," said senior setter Savannah Gable, Cecily's older sister. "She was really ready to play. When it comes to crunch time, she's all for it."

Moss had a big match for Covington (4-1), sparking a 6-0 run that ended game two in Covington's favor. She also came up with an impressive crosscourt kill that won game point in game three.

Munford coach Nina Makris was happy to get the win and see Covington's Allie Moss (30) and Autumn Glenn rise up for a block against Munford's Sami Schulz in volleyball SEE MHS, PAGE B10

Rosemark falls at Halls

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Tipton-Rosemark Academy's offense enjoyed some success Friday night in the season opener at Halls.

But a couple of costly mistakes and a strong Halls offense proved to be too much to overcome in a 4812 loss.

Halls scored one touchdown in the opening quarter and two more in the second to take a lead that the Rebels could not overcome.

“Offensively, I thought we did a pretty good job of executing all night,” said TRA head coach Dodd

B1 Sports.indd 1

Gengenbach, “with one exception: ball security.”

TRA fumbled on its first play from scrimmage. The miscue led to Halls' first touchdown of the game.

In the second quarter a TRA fumble at the Halls four-yard line prevented the Rebels from cutting into the Tigers' lead.

The Rebels got on the board with 57 seconds left in the first half when Keith Hamlin connected with Logan Stewart on a 16yard touchdown pass that trimmed the lead to 21-6.

But a pair of touchdown runs by Halls in the third quarter put the game out of reach.

TRA's final score of the game came on a two-yard touchdown run by Hamlin with 4:58 left in the game.

TRA had the ball almost twice as long as Halls (31:14 to 16:46) but had trouble finding the end zone.

“I thought we did a good job with time of possession,” Gengenbach said.

“That part I'm very happy with. But defensively we didn't do a good job of stopping a couple of their plays and a couple of their players.”

Hamlin led the Rebels with 60 yards on 12 carries and completed 2 of 8 passes for 36 yards. Austin Rushing rushed for 49 yards.

Cardinals rout REHS

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com The Raleigh-Egypt Pharaohs probably didn't know what they were getting themselves into when they took a trip up Highway 51 Friday night to take on Brighton.

Brighton, coming of a one-sided loss the previous week at Murfreesboro Riverdale, handed out a much more one-sided beat down with a 49-0 pummeling of Raleigh-Egypt.

The lead hit 49 midway through the second quarter before the Cardinals mercifully called off the dogs.

When the damage was done, Brighton junior quarterback Brady Stewart had six touchdown passes and the Cardinals (1-1) had their first win of the season.

Brighton head coach Will Wolfe said he liked the effort his team put forward, despite playing a team that was clearly outmanned.

“There's still a lot of stuff we have to work on,” Wolfe said. “The effort was there. It's been there all year. We've just got to get better at the little things. We're still making mistakes.”

Brighton senior wide receiver Ricky Foster caught three of Stewart's touchdown passes. Rujonn Glass and Zach Rogowski also had one touchdown reception a piece.

Brighton is off this week before taking on Covington Sept. 9.

When asked if he was going to spend that time preparing for the Cardinals' county rivals, Wolfe said, “We're really just going to work on us.”

designed in Tipton County that works to develop leadership qualities and awareness of how young people can help in the community.

Simone strives to help others and give back to her community. One way she accomplished this was by helping grant a wish for a young child through the Make-AWish Foundation. She loved being a part of that experience and seeing not only how much it impacted not only her school and classmates but also the child and her family.

Additionally, Simone worked as a peer tutor after school, assisting students with homework

and credit recovery.

Marlon Heaston, WIA Master Tutor, compliments Simone; “ She was respectful, punctual, cooperative and ever mindful of her duties as a peer tutor. She is a fine person and has set a great example for other students at Covington High School.”

COMMENTARY

The beauty of creation

By FREEMAN WEEMS Special to The Leader

What a wondrous world in which we live!

The birds of many different types, the plethora of fishes, the variations of topography, and the changing of the seasons to decorate the countryside are all in their own right beautiful.

What little I have seen of the world has served to strengthen my faith that it is a creation not an accident of time and chance as the evolutionists would have us believe.

Fashionable or not, there is no way to prove evolution and there is considerable evidence to the contrary that for some reason is being resisted by the scientific and educational elites.

Genesis 1:1 is a statement of fact, not a point of negotiation.

Without that text, we

have no explanation for many things.

Were you aware that the three categories of plant life used by Moses in Genesis chapter 1 are still used by botanists today? Have you considered that the laws of personal cleanliness given to the Jews by the Lord were centuries ahead of any other culture in promoting good sanitation?

Though the Bible is not a book of science, it does address many scientific issues.

Another text about health and science is that found in Leviticus 17:11, and it is there we find that the life of the flesh is in the blood.

Though well known today, it was not all that long ago that men of medicine bled their patients to remove fevers and such. One can only guess at the number of deaths precipitated by such a practice.

Further, evolution

denies the existence of moral absolutes.

I have spent many hours debating and discussing this issue with numerous convinced non-theists and evolutionists. There is no standard by which every moral action can be weighed other than what men might use for the moment in the evolutionist's scenario.

There is no moral end to men nor this world in their view, in fact, they have no "end game" in sight at all.

Their position requires that all things in the past function under the same principles of of physical science as we know them today.

Further, it demands immense amounts of time and, quite frankly, a tremendous amount of chance, so large that the numbers would be close to 10 to the 40th power. That is a number so large as to demand a level of faith

that it transcends reason.

The Bible clearly states both moral principles and absolutes. The Word of God also tells us to what end the world will come and man's part in it.

Man is the crowning glory of God's creation not because of our abilities and technologies, but because we are made in the image of God. We were made to worship Him. We will be held accountable, morally and spiritually, to the One who made us.

Creation reflects the beauty of it's Creator.

When this vile world is cleansed by God, the unveiled beauty of creation will be seen by redeemed eyes. Then, we shall know the true beauty of creation.

Newspapers, as we once knew them, are dying.

No longer can publishers print every word of news, every photo submitted, every community event, every church listed in the directory.

But this is a good thing.

It forces us to reevaluate our priorities, the importance of the news we're printing and the wants and needs of our readers.

The same can be said for churches: they're not attended as often these days and many do not bring in as much revenue as they once did. When this happens, a church, much like a business, must do some reevaluating; it's important to stay focused on the issues and

will write commentary and we are accepting photos and information about your youth groups, outreach, ministries and church events.

We want to fill these pages with happiness, with fellowship, with the reasons you love your church and your faith.

We know that here in the Bible Belt church activities are as much a part of your life as ball games and barbecue and we want our newspaper to reflect this.

We invite you to send in your submissions (you can email them to news@

This is not how we've traditionally approached these pages, but after some reflection we believe it's best to move forward, to focus our efforts on what's important, to focus on the life being lived in churches all over the county, because that's what it's all about.

CHS, MHS pick up soccer wins

By STEVE HOLT, JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Robert Luttrell’s Lady Charger soccer team notched their first win of the season with a 7-5 win over South Fulton on Aug. 23.

The Red Devils scored four goals in the first half, two on penalty kicks and two on break-aways.

Covington got the hat trick from a pair of players: freshman Anne Marie Van Cleve and junior Sarah Anne Franklin. Junior Whitney Wallace adding the seventh goal for CHS. South Fulton returned 11 starters from last year’s team, which CHS defeated 2-1 in the playoffs.

A depleted Covington team was overwhelmed by Fayette Academy 6-2 on Aug. 25. The Vikings led 2-0 at the half and never looked back in the runaway win. Van Cleve scored both goals for the Lady

Chargers.

“We were short handed from the outset,” said Luttrell. “Sarah Anne Franklin was in goal due to an injury to my starting goalkeeper. (Kamesha) Van Pelt went down with a high ankle sprain in the first 20 minutes and my defensive line was missing some players due to a staph infection. It will be a season of growth due to our inexperience. Look at us at game 16 and see where we are.”

The Lady Chargers defeated Haywood 10-0 at home on Monday.

Van Cleve scored three goals for Covington and Van Pelt added two.

Christina Jones, Hannah Howard, Iesha Tipton, J’la Brandon and Franklin each scored once.

Covington travels to Millington today and Ripley on Tuesday.

Following a season-opening defeat against Arlington, the Mun-

ford Lady Cougar soccer team got back on track with a 9-1 win over Haywood and a 1-1 tie with Cordova.

On Friday at home against Haywood, the Lady Tomcats got on the board first before Munford (1-1-1) answered with five first-half goals and four more in the second half, Christin Smith, Maggie Billings and Taylor Martchek paced Munford with two goals each. Maggie Johnson, Alex Selby and Megan Benoit each added one.

On Monday at home the Lady Cougars overcame an early goal in the second half to tie the Lady Wolves.

Billings got the equalizer with a hard shot just under the Lady Wolves’ keeper. Nicole Garrison picked up the assist.

Munford returns to action today at home at 6 p.m. against Fayette Academy.

MHS

Continued from B1 her team improve 5-5, but she said there were plenty of things to work on.

“When we start talking and get our energy up, we’re a different team,” Makris said. “When we get down, we do silly things. We need to learn to stay up when things aren’t going well.”

In other Covington action: The Lady Chargers

dropped Hardin Co. 2-1 and Jackson South Side by the same score on Aug. 23 in a tri-match at South Side.

“We played vocally against South Side,” Jackson said, “which left an impact and allowed us to get some momentum … now I know what they are capable of and I’m not backing down.

Setter Molli Hanks tag-

teamed with outside hitter Autumn Glenn and middle hitters Allie Moss and Iesha Carruthers for a great show.”

In the win over Munford, Moss had 15 kills and Carruthers finished with 13. Hanks added 46 assists.

Covington plays at Gibson County on Sept.

1 and at Crockett County on Sept. 6.

Registration for youth cheerleading (ages 4-16) will be held Sept. 5-23 at the Munford Parks and Recreation Center at a cost of $68. Uniforms cost $150 to $200, but can be used multiple years. For more info: dcoping@munford.com or munford.com.

the Covington 15. Three minutes later White got him again with a pick at the Covington 14.

The three interceptions were the first ones in White’s varsity career.

He moved from linebacker to safety for the Munford game.

“I just hit it with one hand, grabbed it and caught it,” White said about the first interception. “I had been taking coaching all week from

lington High School, he posted a 15-2 pitching record with five saves for the Freed-Hardeman baseball team from from 1983-84.

Munford’s lone touchdown came when Stewart, who completed 8 of 16 passes for 137 yards and also rushed for 85, scored from seven yards out with 7:52 left in the game. The score trimmed the lead to 28-10. The play completed a nineplay, 60-yard drive.

“I felt like offensively we had a good game

plan,” said Munford coach Matt Saunders, whose team produced 373 total yards and 17 first downs, six more than Covington. “From 20 to 20, we did what we wanted. We just had too many mistakes in the red zone … I think it was a mixture of Covington stepping up and just one of those games. I’ve never coached in a game with that many turnovers in the red zone.”
