A Charleston man is behind bars after a weekend standoff in which he threatened his family members and law enforcement officers, the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office said. After being arrested on multiple charges relating to reckless endangerment on Saturday, Sept. 11, Brian Keith Huggins made bond and less

than 12 hours later the standoff began. According to police, at approximately 1:30 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 12, deputies arrived at Huggins’ Hwy. 179 residence after receiving information Huggins was threatening to shoot other family members and any law enforcement officers who attempted to come to the residence. Deputies assisted by the SWAT Team and Criminal

Investigation Division personnel responded and attempted to make contact with Huggins. They confirmed that Huggins had also broken the rear window of a vehicle out during the incident with a metal pipe. Officials said a family member in the residence was safely evacuated. Huggins did not respond to attempts to negotiate his surrender, resulting in the residence being assaulted by the

SWAT team with the entrance of gas agents into the house, said TCSO spokesperson Deputy Chief Donna Turner. At about 6:10 a.m. Huggins was taken into custody without further incident. “This was an extremely dangerous and volatile situation that could have resulted in serious injuries to family members and deputies,” said Sheriff “Pancho” Chumley. “Due to the professional and

Marshall finalist for Principal of the Year

By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com On Sept. 10, Brighton High School dedicated its football field to Rodney Eubank, former Tipton County School Board Chairman. Rodney Eubank was the chairman of the Tipton County Schools Board for 23 years; he served on the school board for 34 years, longer than any other person in the state of Tennessee. Eubank also served on the Tennessee School Board Association Board of Directors from 2001-2008, and he earned Level V board member status which is the highest level in the state. Upon Mr. Eubank’s death in March of 2010, Dr. Tim Fite, superintendent of schools, said, “Everything he did was in service to his community.” Besides his work with the school board, he also worked as the personnel director for the City of Covington, the news editor for The Leader, and was an active member of Salem A.R.P. Church. Kathryn Roe, the principal at Brighton High School agrees with Dr. Fite saying, “Mr. Eubank was dedicated to the betterment of our county and our children. He was also an avid sports follower. I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this special recognition.” On Sept. 10, the Brighton Cardinals kicked off against the Covington Chargers at 7 p.m. The game is a yearly rivalry game. At 6:40 p.m., every Charger and Cardinal came together to pay tribute to Mr. Rodney Eubank, a man who worked so tirelessly for the benefit of all students community members say. “The 47-6 win over the Chargers

Last week the Tennessee Department of Education announced its 2011 principal and supervisor of the year nominees and a local man made the list. Darry Marshall, principal at Munford High School, was among those nominated. “I just feel humbled being nominated,” Marshall said. Each year the TDOE honors outstanding administrators with Principal of the Year or Supervisor of the Year awards. MARSHALL Candidates for these awards are nominated by regional study councils composed of fellow principals and supervisors representing nine regions across the state. The Principal of the Year award celebrates school leaders who have implemented outstanding programs resulting in significant school improvement and actively advocated for the improvement of education for Tennessee’s children. The Supervisor of the Year award honors district-wide administrators who guide improvements in school programming while pursuing higher standards of student academic success. “The forward progress of Tennessee schools relies on the hard work and dedication of our education leaders,” Education Commissioner Timothy Webb said. “The professionals we recSEE MARSHALL, PAGE A3

Four arrested in county-wide theft ring Covington gets set for By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com Four people were recently arrested as suspects in a county-wide theft ring, the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office has announced. The thefts were reported in July and August on Mt. Carmel Road, Sunnyside Road, Nelson Road and the CSX Railroad property near Rialto. During the investigation, detectives developed a vehicle description. On Aug. 30, the vehicle was stopped and as a result, three suspects identified. “The detectives in this case broke the theft ring by working with area scrap metal dealers and witnesses in the cases,” said Sheriff J.T. “Pancho” Chumley. “It was a great piece of

police work.” Suspects, said officials, stole items that could be sold as scrap metal or easily sold on the streets. The items included a 4 ton air conditioner, 5 horsepower 25-gallon air compressor, reciprocating saw, tools, floor jack, battery charger, 16-foot foot trailer, stainless steel counter tops, industrial jack stands, copper wire, tin from the side of a shed and large amount of railroad spikes and metal. During the investigation it was discovered that one of the suspects was also stealing electrical services from Southwest Electric Company. Approximately $9,000 in stolen property was recovered. “I am so pleased that this large amount of property was recovered

and returned to the victims,” Chumley said. Detectives have arrested three adults and one juvenile in the ring. Steven Duane Wallace, 26 of 728 Nelson Road in Brighton, has been charged with two counts of burglary, two counts of theft of property $500 to $1,000, theft of property $1000 to $10,000, theft of property $10,000 to $60,000 and theft of services. Paul Allen Grisham, 25, of 808 Bucksnort Road in Brighton, has been charged with two counts of burglary, two counts of theft of property $500 to $1,000, theft of property $1,000 to 10,000, theft of property $10,000 to $60,000, and theft of property under $500.

- Sheriff Pancho Chumley charged with burglary and theft of property $1,000-$10,000. A 17-year-old Atoka juvenile was also arrested and charged with theft of property under $500 and will appear in juvenile court this month. The adults are slated to appear in Tipton County General Sessions Court on Oct. 12.

This week the Covington City Council met and approved the dates for parades and celebrations for many of the upcoming activities for this fall. The annual Veteran’s Day parade was approved for Veteran’s Day on Nov. 11 in the morning. Covington High School was also granted permission for their annual parade during homecoming on Thursday, Sept. 23 beginning at 5:30 p.m. The Covington Rotary Club was given permission for the roads to have their sixth annual 5K race on Sept. 25 beginning at 8 a.m. This is the same day as the Covington Heritage Festival so the route has been changed from previous years, so as not to go around the Covington Court Square. On the same note, Covington Mayor David Gordon mentioned Heritage Day, which is on Sept. 25, and the upcoming BBQ Festival, on Sept. 30 –Oct. 2, and energized citizens to come out to these community affairs. “I really encourage people to come out and enjoy these events,” said Gordon. “We have a few surprises this year and I would like to see everyone out there.” In other news it was reported that the city tax SEE EVENTS, PAGE A3

Sept. 13-19 declared Adult Literacy Week By TIFFANY HOLLAND tholland@covingtonleader.com

This week of September 13-19, 2010 has been declared Adult Education and Family Literacy Week in Tipton County. A resolution was signed by County Executive Jeff Huffman and County Commission Chairman Pro Temp Dr. William Bibb on Sept. 14 at the County Courthouse approving the declaration. According to the resolution, Tipton County served 289 adults in the adult education program in the 2009-2010 year. Adult education offers the opportunity for students to earn a GED or high school diploma. This translates into a 5 percent to 11 percent increase in wages according to Educational and Labor Market Performance of GED recipients. In the last year, 116 adult education stu-

dents in Tipton County received a GED diploma. This is in contrast with the 11 percent of the adult population that is 25 years of age of older in Tipton County that have not graduated from high school. Six percent have less than a ninth grade education and 10,256 adults in Tipton County need adult education services. Nationally, of the 200 million adults in America, 43 million have not finished high school, 93 million function below the high school level based on the National Assessment of Adult Literacy. The Tipton County Literacy Council saw that there was a national declaration for adult literacy and they pushed county leaders for this resolution on a more local level since adult illiteracy plagues many county citizens. “We hope that it makes the community aware

that people who don’t have an education to find (the Literacy Council) and our services,” said Jackie Walker, adult education supervisor and executive director of the literacy council. “There is a place in the county for people who want adult literacy services or get their GED and people need to know that.” Last year, the Clayton Haynes Memorial Scholarship was given to Monica Allen, currently a student at Dyersburg State Community College who is studying nursing and plans on attending University of Memphis in the future. This is a literacy council scholarship of $500 given out every year. The literacy council is always in search of volunteers and will have a booth at Celebrate Munford this weekend. To get in contact with the literacy council or if you know of anyone in need of their services you can

HUGGINS

Continued from A1 ily residences may have been “booby trapped” by Huggins. The sheriff’s office’s new bomb detection K-9 and Shelby County Sheriff’s Office Bomb Unit personnel responded and more than 100 feet of detonation cord was found at a family member’s residence. Personnel also recovered blasting caps inside the Huggins residence. All of the explosives were secured by the bomb unit. Huggins now faces charges of aggravated domestic assault, vandalism and reckless endangerment. His original charges stemmed from an Aug. 14 incident in which Huggins was accused of shooting a dog belonging to a family member. That investigation resulted in a reckless endangerment warrant. Deputies responded to his residence for a second time on Aug. 14 after explosives were found near a shed on his property. On Sept. 10, Huggins surrendered himself on the reckless endangerment warrant and admitted to detectives

that he was the owner of the explosives found. Later, additional explosives were recovered in a third location of the Hwy. 179 property. At approximately 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 11, Huggins made bond on the reckless endangerHUGGINS ment charges. The standoff began an estimated 10 hours later. Huggins also made news late last year when his ex-girlfriend stole his cache of firearms while he was in court answering to weapons charges. He was fired from Delfield in 2009 after bringing his handgun with him to work. Huggins now faces charges of aggravated domestic assault, vandalism and reckless endangerment. He is being held at the Tipton County Correctional Facility with no bond until his appearance in Tipton County General Sessions Court later this week.

The Sheriff’s Office put extra enforcement on the roadways in order to have a more visible officer presence to help ensure safer roadways for the Holiday. Also included in the saturations, were random bar checks throughout the county and DUI enforcement patrols. During the operations, officers issued 51 tickets and warnings. Tickets were issued for violations including: Speeding, Child Restraint, Seatbelt, Registration, Light Law, Drivers License Violations, No Insurance, Disregarding Stop Sign and Drug violations. 9 arrests were made throughout the operation on various charges as well.

In order to do this, it is pertinent that we have extra deputies visible during these peak times when we know that a higher volume of traffic will be traveling our roadways. The percentage of DUI drivers is higher surrounding many holidays so I want to aggressive pursue these impaired drivers as well. By having more officer presence during these times we intend to make someone think twice about driving while impaired.”

Help us help you

Over the past few weeks you may have noticed the paper’s page count steadily decrease – from 26 pages to 24, 20 and 18. Many of you have complained about thinner editions over the years and it’s worse now than ever before. We have heard your complaints. You want more sports coverage, more photos, more community-related submissions. You want the photo from your 65th class reunion to be larger, you want more photos from your fashion show to be printed, you want larger write-ups on community events. And you want us to include the OFF THE RECORD free listing of community events E CHO DAY in every single issue, without fail. Not doing these things, you believe, shows a lack of support for the community. We want these things, too. But we can’t show support for the community without the community supporting us. Because you can read the Commercial Appeal online for free, you do, and you leave your communitybased newspaper behind. Because you can advertise your business within our competitor’s pages and reach consumers all over the Mid-South, you do, and you leave your community-based newspaper behind. Free doesn’t pay the bills, however. The CA has closed its Millington-Tipton bureau and is among the many newspapers that has laid off dozens of staffers in recent years. I’ll let you in on a secret: newspapers cannot survive without advertising dollars. The more pages we add to the paper, the more our printing costs increase. Therefore, ads determine our page count and determine the number of stories we can include in each edition. Without support from our advertisers, we won’t have room for your deer photos; feature stories about folks in our community; education stories and photos and columns sent in from schools. We’ve been holding byline stories, community announcements, photos sent in by our readers and more. And because we never know how much or how little room we’ll actually have, we’ve had to cut back on our news coverage. Nowhere is this pinch more painful than in the newsroom. We want to print the stories we know are important to you. We want to make your photos larger, your submitted stories longer. We want you to have your cake and eat it, too. But we can’t do this right now. Remember the car insurance commercial where the young girl is given a bike and a very small space in which she is allowed to ride it? That’s how we feel. We have great stories that we can’t print because we don’t have space. Figures released by the Newspaper Association of America last week show total print and online ad spending nationwide fell 5.6 percent during the second quarter compared to the year-ago results. That represents a significant narrowing of the decline from 9.7 percent in the first quarter of the year, and 23.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009 (results from Accuracy in Media, www.aim.org). These are the worst nationwide figures since 1983. You want a thicker paper and so do we. You want stories about your friends, family and neighbors, photos from local events, business profiles, sports recaps and photos, education news, honor roll listings, marriage licenses, property transfers, arrest reports, community event listings, community correspondents and more – and so do we. We want to give you what you want, but you have to help us. As is often said within these pages, shopping at home helps boost our local economy. When you spend money in Tipton County, your taxes benefit children in our public schools and local businesses, those owned by your friends and neighbors, benefit from the profits. Advertising in other publications may spread your message farther, but do you want to get that message to the residents of Southaven, to people who don’t live in the area and are unlikely to travel here to purchase your products, or do you want to get your message to local folks who drive by your stores on the way to pick their children up from school? We are also a local business who needs your support. When you’re keeping it local, don’t forget this also includes your local newspaper.

Readers' Views Disapponted with County Clerk

In Need of Christian Care

I am saddened by the behavior of the new county court clerk, Mary Gaither, in the firing of Ms. Wheeler. I feel sure many who supported Gaither are now seeing things in a different light too. Instead of the smiling face on her posters, she appears to show pleasure in a political vendetta against a long time employee of the office, just because she can. I feel sure many voters will remember this at the next election...just not the type of leadership we expected.

I've had several compliments due to you printing my letter, and I'm very appreciative. I do not have the words to say just how much I appreciate you and your staff. Those who have hurt me so much know who they are. I subscribe to two great publications: The Leader and The Collierville Herald. I received a call due to you printing my letters. She looked my phone number up in the phone book. She is a great lady. Thanks a lot. I need to meet others like her.

Bras for a Cause is a way for us to honor and celebrate the lives of those we love who are fighting, survived, or lost to breast cancer. Sometimes the best medicine is laughter.

Friends and family members are still living productive joyful lives thanks to the giving spirit of the public. Bras for a Cause is simply turning competitive spirit into dollars for breast cancer cures. Turn your creativity loose and get into the spirit of competition. Honor someone special with your creation. Both businesses and individuals are encouraged to enter. The entry fee is $20. Each vote cast cost voters $1 per vote. The goal for this year’s event is $3500. All funds collected will go to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Entries must be in to Le Chic Boutique and registered by Oct. 17, 2010. You may begin showing your bra and collecting votes at any time prior to this Oct. 17 deadline. Bras will be on display in the window

Oleo Acres is the place to be By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com Thirty-seven years ago, Tim Ammons’ father bought some farmland on the Tipton-Haywood county line. Named after the margarine spread, Charles Ammons never thought Oleo Acres would become primarily an educational tool for Tennesseans. It was his son, Tim, who conjured up the idea to use the farm to teach the people of West Tennessee the old-fashioned ways of farming and making products. Ammons' mindset was spawned during the 1960s when Ammons was a student in the Tipton County school system. “We want to inform people of their background and history in farming,” said Ammons. “Our goal is to re-educate people on how to live environmentally friendly as our forefathers did and at the same time preserving the Tennessee heritage that is quickly slipping away.” For instance, Ammons had not had sorghum the way it was when he was growing up. So, by asking his elders to try and remember what it was that made the black-amber sorghum so good, he was able to replicate it by using old-fashioned methods. At Oleo Acres, the sorghum is nutritional and vitaminridden, unlike molasses. It’s made by a mule-powered machine that heats the sorghum. This boils the impurities out and evaporates the juices. The result is pure, exact, old-fashioned sorghum the way Ammons ate it when he was a child. “I realized that you can’t get these things, like sorghum, anywhere because no farms practices these old ways anymore,” said Ammons. “I want people to remember how it used to be and how, in some ways, it was better.” Besides, sorghum, the farm offers tours of the nature trail, where Ammons gives information about trees and plants like poison ivy and how to find natural remedies. The owner also informs visitors about water conservation and the importance of avoiding hybridization when planting. “I just think it’s important to highlight the information that seems to have fallen through the cracks when people just care about making money,” said Ammons.

The Bread of Life Food Pantry was the topic at a recent meeting of the Covington Exchange Club. The Food Pantry is a service ministry of First United Methodist Church which, as a member agency of the Mid-South Food Bank, provides emergency food assistance to families in our community. The Food Pantry operates in two locations, at the church in Covington and at Trust Company Bank in Brighton, and regularly feeds over 180 families each week. Grace Phelps, Minister of Small Groups and Program Ministries, presented the program and is pictured in the center, along with Bubba Eaves, Program Chair and Trish Williams, President of the Covington Exchange Club.

New Classes

The farm has antiques on diplay like corn shellers, grain feeders and fodder choppers. “Eventually, the plan it to get the schools involved,” said Ammons. “Not only would I like to have students take field trips out here, but I hope to soon be able to take some of these things to the students.” In the end, the main idea that Tim Ammons wants to convey is to be thankful. A monthly, faith-based get-together called “Bountiful Blessings” is in the works for late September in which people gather around a bonfire roasting food like hotdogs. Ammons says the program is meant to thank God for all the good things we have and to educate visitors on ecological living. That’s what he really wanted to do all along.

Redeeming Grace Lutheran Church to rededicate facilities Members of Redeeming Grace Lutheran Church will Re-dedicate their Worship Facility on Sunday, September 19 with special services beginning at 10:15 at 123 Quinton with a carry-in dinner to follow. On Saturday, May 1, a wall of water estimated at seven feet high completely inundated and totally destroyed the interior of the building. Chairs, hymnals, organ Communion ware and the piano were ruined. Brian Dembicky, president of Redeeming Grace, stated “It was a total disaster. Mud was several inches deep inside the building, with hymnals, books, banners and chairs scattered as though a tornado had gone through the interior.” Services were cancelled the

next day but the following Sunday services were held outside. The building next door, owned by Clayton Allen was graciously provided and utilized for a few weeks. The congregation continued to meet there until the walls and flooring were replaced in the original building. Redeeming Grace, a member of the Lutheran ChurchMissouri Synod, has been the recipient of thousands of dollars of gifts. New hymnals were given to the Church by Concordia Publishing House in St. Louis, Missouri. Gifts of an organ, a piano, refrigerator and other furniture were given by concerned members of various churches and individuals in the area. A Church in Watseka, Illinois sent a gift of $2,600 to the church and Thrivent Lutheran, a finan-

cial institution, matched cash gifts given to the church. Mr. Ed Bell, treasurer of Redeeming Grace said: “We have been truly blessed by the gifts and concern of individuals and churches throughout the area.” The Vacation Bible School of St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church in West Bend, Wisconsin sent care packages and notes from the children encouraging the members of the church.

Navy Seaman Recruit Alan C. Riebe, son of Kristen K. and Jeffrey S. Riebe of Munford, Tenn., recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill. During the eight-week program, Riebe completed a variety of training which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness. The capstone event of boot camp is "Battle Stations". This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. "Battle Stations" is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment. Its distinctly ''Navy'' flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a Sailor. Riebe is a 2010 graduate of Munford High School of Munford, Tenn.

Grammy winner Bruce Nemerov and Jeﬀ Long will perform at the Historic Ruﬃn Theater on Saturday, Sept. 18.

Lynn and Wilma Northcott are pleased to announce the engagement and forthcoming marriage of their daughter, Kim Sheppard of Munford, to Zane Lewis, son of Jim and Pat Lewis of Memphis. Miss Sheppard is the granddaughter the late Octa and Bob Smith and of the late James and Frances Northcott. She is a graduate of Covington High School and she also graduated from Southwest Tennessee Community Kim Sheppard to wed Zane Lewis College with a degree in nursing. She is currently a registered nurse and employed as director of nursing at Covington Care Rehab. Miss Sheppard is also an avid deer hunter. Mr. Lewis is a graduate of Clemson University and played offensive lineman for the Clemson Tiger football team while in college. He obtained his degree in psychology and sociology. Mr. Lewis is currently a police officer with the City of Memphis. He is also an avid deer hunter. The couple will exchange vows on Oct. 16 at 6:30 p.m. at Carahills II in Gallaway. The reception will follow the ceremony. Friends and relatives are invited.

Fedora Bros. play music of the South Stapleton, Ridings to exchange vows By CECIL YANCY JR. Special to The Leader A lot of digging led Bruce Nemerov to a gold mine of music and a Grammy. When he and Jeff Long break out the instruments Saturday in Covington, it’ll be something akin to a front-porch picking and a record-release party. Nemerov and Long will perform as the Fedora Brothers at the Historic Ruffin Theater’s Bluegrass Saturday series Sept. 18 at 7 p.m. The concert is free. The hat will be passed to help defray costs. The performance serves as a recordrelease party for Zeno Dreamed, Nemerov’s solo effort on the Spring Fed Records label, issued from the Arts Center of Cannon County, Tenn. It’s a collection of original and “recomposed” traditional songs and tunes, along with a colorful booklet of stories that gives narrates the music in the South. The Fedora Brothers perform an eclectic mix of country music, gospel and country blues ranging from the Delmore Brothers, the Carter Family to Jimmie Rodgers. Playing and singing in the brotherduet style, Nemerov and Long are on the same psychic page while on stage. “We had that same connection the first time we played together,’ Nemerov says. While Long recently retired from school teaching in Jackson, Tenn., he has a reputation and history of playing old-time and bluegrass music. He toured for three years with Curtis McPeake, formerly of Danny Davis and the Nashville Brass. Nemerov grew up on the West Coast at the time of the 1960s folk revival. He played in one of the first California bluegrass groups, recording two major label albums and opening for the likes of the Grateful Dead and the Youngbloods. He eventually made his way to Nashville, playing with Bill Monroe and Jeannie C. Riley, before settling down to raise a family and work as a studio musician and a musicologist. His work documenting the contributions of John Work III of Nashville’s Fisk University in album liner notes to a recording of 1940s-era music in Coahoma County, Miss., won a Grammy in 2008. He discovered the World War II-era dusty recordings in Work’s attic. The Arts Center of Cannon County released the recordings in 2007. In 2005, while working for Middle Tennessee State University in audio restoration, Nemerov co-authored a book with two other authors entitled, The Story Behind the Song. It chronicles 150 songs that had an impact on life during the 20th century. Later that year, he co-authored a book that documented the forgotten contributions of John Work III to recording music in the Delta. The book, Lost Delta Found, garnered widespread critical acclaim, and shed light on the importance of music in the South, and drawing attention to a forgotten element of the story. Nemerov continues to write about and perform the music he first heard while sitting underneath a piano with his ear to the wood while his mother played Blue Danube. “When people learn about my background in California, they ask me, ‘How come you’re not playing with the Grateful Dead?’ and I tell them it was the music back in those folk days that switched on the light for me,” Nemerov says. “The music of early rural America—both black and white-was real and made by people who were entertaining themselves and their neighbors. It wasn’t something they did for consumers. It was something they did for their community.” For more on Nemerov, visit www.brucenemerov.com or www. springfedrecords.com.

Well, grandparentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; day came and went and I forgot to wish you all a happy grandparentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; day. For most of us, just be a grandparent brings such great joy. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a special day to remind us. Linda Kidd and I went to see little Addie and Zackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandparentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; program at Austin Peay Elementary. It was very nice. I wish they would do these school programs later in the day so it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interfere with my McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breakfast. Anyway, hope yours was the greatest.

I wish it would rain. It is so dry and dusty. The temperatures could not really be better but we could really use some rain. It seems to go all around us but not on us. I am sure the farmers are aware of this too. My first request this week

Used cars to be sold for $299 One of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fastest growing auto dealerships is overstocked and is forced to sell cars and trucks for as low as two hundred ninety nine dollars this Saturday, September 18, 2010, during a drastic one day sales event.

MILLINGTON, TENNESSEE - Jerry Hunter, General Sales

Manager for Homer Skelton Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Millington, Tennessee, just announced plans to conduct a $299 used car sales event on Saturday, September 18, 2010. According to Hunter, record car sales have resulted in an overstock of used trade-ins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the past few months our sales have increased at a remarkable rate,â&#x20AC;? Hunter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now we must reduce the number of used vehicles on our lot to a more manageable level. During this $299 sale, every used car or truck will be on sale for thousands of dollars less than itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original cost.â&#x20AC;?

hair washed and styled. Molly has a torn ACL and has trouble with the bathshower thing as you can imagine with her leg immobilized up to her hip. I have forgotten to mention Ms. Ann Glenn lately. She had knee replacement surgery. Rebena Atteberry has been taking care of her and I am sure she has really spoiled her too. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to add those I have mentioned to our prayer list along with Keith McClerkin, Joyce Starnes, and Tonya Mallory. Congratulations to Josh Halleron and Christina Burns. They will be get-

ting married on Saturday the 18th. Hannah Mae and Ryan are Matron of Honor and Best Man. I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to attend the first band competition on Saturday because we will be in the middle of the wedding party make over. So all that can attend please do. It is in Dyersburg. I know we will do well. We have a wonderful group of young musicians and a great director and codirector. Okay, until next week here is my quote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, and Faith looks up.â&#x20AC;? Love ya, Debe

The fun all begins at 5:00 pm on Saturday night, October 9th. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have all kinds of good gospel singing music, a lot of good food, and some fine fellowship!!! Sure hope yaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll mark your calendars for that date and come out and eat with us! I will be in and out myself as my nephew is getting married that same night at the same time so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to split myself into! Anybody got a chainsaw? Well on second thought maybe I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to those extremes! But I am going to try and make them both! I have a real praise to share with you all. My maintenance man sneezed while driving and had a wreck last week and God spared his life! I am so very thankful to the Lord! Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my praise, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yours? So many times we take things for granted and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even think about Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand being involved, but we know it always is!!! Thank You Lord for sparing his life!!! Ms. Polly has been in the hospital for the last few days but is expected home tomorrow! Please pray for her. Also there are always several residents that need our special prayers, so please remember them when you pray! Thanks so much! We would like to welcome Ms. Esther Dowd back to Dunlap.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take wonderful care of you, clean for you, do your laundry and cook you three meals a day! So yaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll come on out and enjoy your retirement!! Gotta close for now, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to give somebody that hug you know they need!

These special sale prices will be even lower than those found at used car auctions. Hunter explained, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Auction bidding typically inflates the true valueof a car, so you could actually end up paying a whole lot more. Here, every car is on sale on a first come, first served basis with no bidding. So, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the perfect chance to get a quality used vehicle at the lowest possible price.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a locally owned business, and we want to support our own community by offering local people first dibs to buy those over-stocked vehicles, rather than simply auctioning them off wholesale,â&#x20AC;? Hunter stated. All cars will be displayed at Homer Skelton Chrysler Dodge Jeep used car lot on Hwy. 51 in Millington at 9am, Saturday, the vehicles will be unlocked so that buyers may inspect them for one hour prior to the start of the sale. Prices will be posted on the windshield at 10:00 am, and whoever is sitting behind the wheel will be given the first chance to purchase the vehicle at itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sale price. At least two units will be priced at $299. This innovative approach to selling cars will mkae it fast and easy for customers to get a great car or truck at a drastically low price with no hassle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wholesale buyers will be on hand to accept trade-ins during this sale,â&#x20AC;? Hunter pointed out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also have business managers and lending reps who can help arrange low cost financing.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to remind people that this is a one day sale only,â&#x20AC;? Hunter cautioned. On Monday, we will remove the sale prices and return to business as usual.â&#x20AC;?

Burlison Eddie Kellum

Hello from Burlison. For those of you who are not fortunate enough to know John Fletcher, let me give you a little background on the man. I‘ve known John most off my life. In the early 70’s, I was lucky enough to get a job here in Burlison at a gas station. The station was at one end of the road that I grew up on. The name of the station back then was J&D Service Station. Little did I know that one day I would own this station and later on build my house here. When I started to work at the station, there was another employee that showed me how to fix flats, change oil and pump gas into multiple cars all at once while washing windshields. My mentor’s name was Steve Max who happened to be John’s brother-in-law. I got to know John in those years that Steve and I worked together. John was an overseer of a local hunting club that I belonged to. Most of us wanted to pay our dues and hunt, but he cared enough to take the added responsibility of helping to manage the land and keep watch for those who were trying to hunt without paying. John’s family had a tragedy that put a desire in his heart to work in law enforcement. He volunteered to work for the Tipton County Sheriffs Department in 1986 and went full time in 1988. John worked hard and his effort was rewarded when he was promoted to detective. In 2001, while on duty he met with an accident that has deteriorated his health over the last years to the point of having to have a heart transplant. Recently, he had a three month stay in

The staff and some of the recipients went outside part of the day. Plus, it was a nice day to be outside to exercise and get some fresh air. The staff and service recipients went outside to play basketball and to exercise. Also, they just went to enjoy the

the hospital before receiving his new heart and was in the hospital for another week. It’s been six weeks and John is doing very well but still cannot receive visitors. While talking with John I’ve found that he is a very private and religious person. He would like to thank everyone for the cards, letters, flowers and prayers sent his way. John says that there is power in prayer and strength in numbers. He was put on a lot of prayer chains and knows that’s why the surgery went so well. He gives all the praise to God Almighty because with God all things are possible. John especially wanted to thank that very special person who donated their heart and the family. Not everyone is an organ donor and there are a lot of different reasons for that. One reason is that people think that their organs may be taken too soon. Hospitals run more test on organ donors than non-donors to ensure that life has passed. Others think they’re too old or too young. Some of us want to take all of our parts with us when we die but look at how many people we could help by being a donor. As of now over 100,000 people are on a waiting list in the United States alone. Unfortunately thousands of these people will not be as lucky as John was; they will never get the call and a second chance at life. Take a moment and think about signing the back of your diver’s license where it says DONOR. An organ donor can save or improve the life of as many as fifty people. John, thank you for everything you and your family have done over the years for this community and for me personally. May God bless your house and your new heart. day. Everybody had a nice, fun day on Friday, Aug. 27. Afterwards, we all went into the center and spent the day with one another. I hope everybody had a nice day. Tammy Boyd has been under the weather we hope she gets well soon. We also want to welcome Julia Cella back from her vacation. We missed her very much. Mrs. CONTINUED ON PAGE A16

My niece, Erica Merritt's birthday was on Sept. 10 which is the same day as our youngest sister, Kimel Burton Hodges now of Michigan. Well, I had Kimel being born on Sept. 9! Sorry little sister! Thank God I sent her card early. Our nephew, Melvin Kinz Bell celebrated his birthday on Sept. 11 with family and friends, he's the oldest son of our sister, Jo Ann Bell. Erica enjoyed a lovely family dinner prepared for her on Sunday the 12th in the lovely home of her older sister JaCinta Jones and her brother-in-law, John Jones Sr. of Jamestown. Please accept my deepest apology niece, nephew and sister.

Greetings, How's everybody enjoying this lovely weather we've been having lately? It's a shame that we can't have it like this all the time. We have a lot of trees around here, and it is so beautiful watching as the leaves are falling. While watching them fall, I kept saying to myself, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank God for whoever it was that invented the leaf blower.â&#x20AC;? It is truly a God-send that we have two of them, and they are well-used! Missionary meetings are now held on Tuesday evenings at 5 p.m. at the same place, Old Miller's Store, on Jamestown Road. The public is still welcome to come join in with the teacher Willie Mae Burton and president Mary Burton. Each week brings a crowd, but as President Burton loves to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There's still room for more!â&#x20AC;?

gether years ago to George R. Ellis High in Munford. Warren was in the grade with my sister Joann and our cousin Freida Burton Hunter. They were also classmates and graduates of Tennessee State University in Nashville. After graduation, he began a career in the military where he returned a few years back. Warner Lee is relaxing and just enjoying his lovely family. He is also a cousin to Pastor Richard Coe of New Hope M.B. Church in Burlison off of Hwy. 59. In fact this is where he and his lovely wife attended service on Sunday. My sister Annette Burton and our aunt La Rue Albritton were guests at New Hope. In fact, Aunt La Rue's oldest son, Rev. Kevin King Jr. is New Hope's Associate Minister. I also learned that Warner Lee is an avid fan of my column every week. He enjoyed reading me in his home now in Maryland. Sorry to have missed seeing you again, cousin. Continue to read me each week! Jolly Cortenia Club held their September meeting on Friday, Sept. 10 at the home of president La Rue Albritton. Only two members were unable to attend, Katarene Harber and Joann Burton. La Rue used a summer lunch theme of assorted deli meats, fruits and green salad with assorted delicious cookies on her dessert tray.

Many years ago each community had a schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Randolph, Gilt Edge, Jamestown, Burlison, Garland, Richardson Landing, Drummonds and Hopewell. Then they started to consolidate. The last year there was a school at Randolph was 1949. There were six of us that graduated: Velma English, Bonnie Pittman, Norma Jean â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tootieâ&#x20AC;? Lott, Huey Standridge, Thomas Hutcherson and me. Moviline Cousar was our teacher. It was a two-room school with

Monday night at 8:41 p.m. it was 75 degrees but it got about 90 degrees this afternoon. I'm glad temperatures at night are getting Fall-ish, anyway. Mornings have been gloriously cool - in the 50's yesterday morning! This week's Farm Report: We started cutting soybeans on Saturday, usually a sure way to get rain, but it hasn't worked this year. No rain last week, again. Well, two little sprinkles but it didn't get wet under the trees, so that's not much rain. They are calling for rain Thursday night; we sure need it for the beans that are still green and making. We're getting docked on our beans for being so dry. What a year! There is going to be a meeting in Jackson, probably in November, about the chemical-resistant weeds we farmers battle now: pigweed and marestail. Right now they are saying planting Cereal Rye may choke them out and can be a cover crop. We'll have to look into that and see if it's available. Will report more after I attend that meeting. Corn is about out of the fields and cotton is so white - looks like it's a good year for cotton. We may have to do some rotating next year,

I have been sick for two weeks. A summer cold is worse than a winter cold, I think. I used home remedies for a week and none of them worked. I finally went to Dr. Craig's office. The nurse practitioner looked at my throat, which was very red. Then she looked at my right ear. I've never seen such a bad ear! I could not hear anything for over a week. My right ear was the worst. I know that I am deaf in my left ear, but my right ear was my best hearing. The old man (who is deaf in both ears---he wears two hearing aids) and I have one for my left ear. Well, it is really bad when you have to have the TV sound as loud as it would go. I got a shot at the doctor's office and prescription. I went home and took the medicine and went to bed. I could not go to sleep. I did not get any sleep all night. I got up once and took a Tylenol PM. Still could not go to sleep.

I think that is so wonderful. Brother Garrett Sweeney and wife and son were at Randolph Assembly of God Church Sunday, Sept. 5. Bro. Sweeney and Bro.

so we may have cotton again. I had a book signing with Otis Griffin, author of his book by the same name as his column, Southern Raisin'. I enjoyed meeting his wife and his sister. Gilt Edge Columnist Bernadine McAfee joined us and we all had a big time talking. And Otis and I sold some books! It was a fun three hours! That night we had supper in Millington with Michelle Nowak. We sat and talked t'til about 9 p.m and enjoyed each other's company. We don't see her much since she's married and moved there but we always have fun catching up. Of course, we do e-mail, but it's usually just forwards! She is teaching fourth grade this year in RIpley and says she has a good class. Members of the Covington Church of Christ had our monthly Fellowship Meal on Sunday night. I didn't stay to eat but took some desserts and brought the boys a plate home. We had a big crowd though. As a matter of fact, we had a big crowd Sunday morning - 218! I dread tomorrow. Gum surgery. One of my bottom front teeth is loose, probably, Wayne says, because of the braces or now, the retainer I wear. He's checking it out and putting a permanent wire behind those

teeth. They were the worst to straighten. I'll have stitches and be on pain pills this time tomorrow night. At least I'll get some sleep! I just want to heal up good by October 9th when we go on the Canada/New England Cruise. Can't wait! I've picked out my excursions - the Titanic Cemetery (then I'm getting back on a boat?!) and Salem Mass. and the Witch Museum! The Birthday party at Covington Manor will be on the 18th at 2 p.m. The Devotional at Covington Care will be on the 9th at 4. and R.U.S.H. at Freed-Hardeman is this weekend, the 17th and 18th and the CIA/ KIX Talent Show is on the 19th. It was great last year! We started new quarters last week and Charlene Dunaway Dalrymple is teaching a Ladies Class on Wednesday nights. Last week's class was good; I'm looking forward to the quarter. Happy Birthday this week goes to Kristie Maxwell, McKennah Cook and Shirley Laxton on September 12th, to Bonnie Glass on the 13th, to Christie Coughlan on the 14th, to Jake Hodge on the 15th and to Chloe Coughlan and Preston Stanley on the 16th!

Christie Coughlan (Chloe)! Happy Anniversary to David and Sherri Kidd on September 12th, to Matt and Kristin Sallee on the 13th and to Ken Jr. and Tina Bringle on the 16th! My sincere sympathy is extended to Teresa Dunn and all her family in the death of her mother, Betty Rylant. They have my prayers in their loss. I've been writing about the white dog but no one's called missing her. I wish someone with children would take her - she's trained very well. She sits, shakes "hands", stays, fetches. Someone has trained her well and I figured they are missing her, but . . . If your children need a good dog to play with, call me! She looks to be a little over a year old and she wants to play all the time! This week's Farmer's Almanac Quote: (This one's for next Wednesday, September 22nd) "Autumnal Equinox: The Sun crosses the equator on its southward path at 11:09 P.M. EDT today". Yay! "Thanks for Reading" this week goes to Otis Griffin, Nancy Shockley, Judy Randolph and Judy McCool! Sa-lute! Leaves are already turning; looks like an early Fall. I hope it's a pretty one.

The next morning I got up and cooked pancakes for breakfast. I had lots of energy and I was not sleepy the whole day. I called the doctor and asked what was wrong with me. She said it was from the shot. I think I will go get another shot if it gives me energy to get my work done. So this week I am finally feeling better, but still not up to par! The day I went to the doctor we saw Barbara Max. She said that she had the same thing that I did. She could not go to sleep either. She is doing better too. RUM Church had a wonderful service last Sunday. I have never seen so much food as we had for lunch that day. Everything was so good. We had lots of visitors. We are enjoying our revival. Rev. Mike Pilcher is leading our revival. He is one of our former pastors at RUMC. He is now pastor at Selmer First UMC. We are enjoying Ms. Connie Rainey who sings and plays the piano. Report on the Old man: We now have our big red truck back after a week of

driving a little rental car.. Its trip to the car hospital cost us about $8,000. We got a letter from Wal-Mart saying that our truck broke the car lift in the garage. I don't know how much this is going to cost. We are so thankful that we have insurance. Several days after the wreck the old man's right shoulder kept hurting. He finally went to the ER at Covington. Nothing was broken, but he did hit the steering wheel with his right shoulder. Which has been hurting him. Prayers: Patra Ballard,

PET OF THE WEEK Mella got her name because her coloring reminds you of a toasted marshmallow. Yummy! She has golden brown tips on her ears and a few golden spots on her legs. Mella is young, probably less than a year old. We think she had one litter of puppies before we rescued her. She is right around 34 pounds. Mella is in a loving foster home with her buddy Bailey.

Charger Beat FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK It is always surprising to see how quickly the time passes once school begins. We have completed our first progress reporting period, so parents and students should have a good idea about where each student stands in each class. We have support systems in place for all types of tutoring. We provide math tutoring from 7:00 –7:30 in the morning. Every other subject is provided in the afternoons from 3:00-4:00. Individual teachers also provide tutoring at different times, so please check with the specific teachers for additional help. Our primary focus this year is to be certain our junior students are ready for the ACT testing in March. Every junior will participate in the testing and we are doing everything that we can to ensure success. Your child should know what his/her projection is for the test. If the projection is not a 21, consider tutoring until we can improve the chances of success. Remember, 21 is the threshold for receiving lottery scholarship money. If you have a senior, please check with us for ideas to improve scores before they retest. If no remediation has been given, the likelihood of improving the score is slim. Let us help you make the best scores before retaking the test. Our 10th, 11th and 12th grade students will take the ASVAB test next week. The test is closely aligned to the ACT and is used by the military. It lets students know how much work is needed to obtain a better score. We will share information from the test with parents to give an idea about student progress. This is a free test and will help students prepare for a lengthier testing situation. On a lighter note, Homecoming 2010 is next week. All classes will be able to purchase T-shirts for their classes during lunch time this week. Help your student become involved in Homecoming activities. They are memories for a lifetime. Get in the spirit of Charger Homecoming and cheer us on to victory! Peggy Barber Murdoch Principal Covington High School FCA- Fifty members were in attendance on Sept. 8. The

“See You at the Pole” event will be on Sept. 22 at 7:00 am. FCA has begun its canned food collection drive for the Carl Perkins Center for Homecoming. FFA- The FFA had five 1st place winners at the Hardin Co. Sheep Show in Savannah on Sept. 9. team members are Leah Chapman, Brooke Kelly, Kadie Brassfield, Deanna Midkiff and Heather Midkiff. The team also won the Grand and Reserve Championships at the Delta Fair at the Agricenter. The Dairy Foods team was in competition at State Dairy Foods in Nashville placing 1st in the District and in West Tennessee. Team members are Kadie Brassfield, Aerin Langlois, Chelsea Delk and Leah Chapman. T.O.T.A.L. YOUTH LEADERSHIP- Congratulations to the following students from CHS chosen to participate in T.O.T.A.L. Youth Leadership for 2010, Khelsea Elkins, Whitney Cook, Rebecca Wauford, Walt Downing and Molly Hanks. HOSA BLOOD DRIVE- The CHS HOSA Chapter is sponsoring an in-house blood donation drive outside the usual Lifeblood circuit. The date for the donation drive is Monday, September 20. HOSA has set a goal of 66 units for this drive and is asking the community to assist in meeting this goal. Lifeblood donates a scholarship to CHS if we meet our goal in each drive. Students who are 16 years of age may donate with parental consent. Consent forms are available in the CHS main office. Persons in the community may donate at CHS on September 20 or they may donate at the Covington Lifeblood Center and designate the donation to help CHS HOSA meet their goal for this drive. All community help is appreciated. PROJECT PLAY- The Administration, faculty and staff of Covington High School would like to thank all of the CHS students and student clubs and organizations that volunteered this summer in helping to rebuild “Project Play”. The “Project” is finally complete and we want you to know how much we appreciate your hard work and generosity in helping in our community.

Link tests the last week in September. Tests will be for math, language arts, and science. Students will take these tests in homeroom much like TCAP. Think Link tests help teachers and students know what skills have been mastered, and which ones need more attention. We use results of these assessments to determine which students need extra help. It is very important that students do their best work on Think Link and ALL diagnostic tests!

August Students of the Month- Demarcus Allen, Charity Short, Zach Tiffner, and Daniel Joy were selected STUDENTS OF THE MONTH by their teachers! C O N G R AT U L AT I O N S ! These students have put forth extra efforts and shown a willingness to learn. They have had exceptional attendance and have portrayed the characteristics of a good citizen.

Crestview Bolt Tutoring OfferedWe are being asked to be courageous as we face raised and more rigorous levels of achievement on new State curriculum standards and new TCAP assessment results. We have courageously asked all CMS families to rise up to a more stringent academic pace as we work harder to help students reach these new levels of achievement. It is an adjustment for all of us. But we have received overwhelming support from you – our stakeholders – in our efforts to bring students in for extra instruction and help. We anticipate that all of us will grow and get better from this experience. Talk to your children about the importance of valuing academics above extracurricular activities. Parent copies of the spring TCAP test will be coming home this month. Go over these with your children and see where help is needed. Work with teachers to make sure your student(s) get the help they need. Have your student(s) in school every single day, if possible. Come to our parent activities and learn as much as you can about the State curriculum, grade level expectations, and testing resources available to you.

Bank hosts celebrity dinner First celebrity dinner, silent auction held at Trust Company Bank On Aug. 28, the first dinner and silent auction fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, Relay for Life was held at Trust Company Bank. The night began with entertainment provided by recording artist and fourtime cancer survivor Ryan Hamner who, throughout the evening, entertained the audience with familiar songs by Johnny Cash, Cat Stevens, Bill Wither and some of his original music. “Prior to the event, many who planned to be in attendance wondered who the celebrities might be and if Justin Timberlake would be there; however, we had it even better. Local community celebrities and heroes volunteered their service for the night, each having a unique story about how they benefit the county. ” said Kathleen Glass, Trust Company Bank assistant vice president and an organizer of the event. Leaders of Tipton County served guests C.H. Sullivan and Jimmy Hicks’ famous BBQ. Delicious desserts made the community room smell just like Grandma’s kitchen at Christmas. Businesses and homes around the county helped with the fundraising by providing cupcakes from Sweet Sensations, cookies and muffins from Perkins, pies and pastries from Dizzy Daisy Café, and the best peanut butter pie made by Phyllis Hicks. Famous for great BBQ and being featured in the movie, Walk the Line, Bozo’s BBQ provided their original recipe sauces. Auction items were

BES Flag Corps instills patriotism in students By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com Over the past decade, U.S. citizens gain a stronger sense of patriotism during this time of year in remembrance of the 9/11 attacks. Likewise, such emotions ebb and flow with each passing anniversary or holiday like Pearl Harbor or Veterans’ Day. Brighton Elementary School physical education teacher Dean Brown has a mission for his flag corps team: to keep the patriotism alive throughout the year regardless of those patriotic times of the year. Brown picks a group of fifth graders every year to compose the team. “Every year, my aim is to teach these students what it means to be a patriotic citizen of the United States,” said Brown. “They learn how to make a difference no matter where they are in life.” On Wednesday, Sept. 8, the group of fifth graders were instilled with that sense of national pride and duty as they took part in a white-glove, flag-folding. A trumpet trio and drum corps were present from Brighton High School. The students were able to send out invitations to guests as well. “There was a nice representation of the community and the school,” said Brown. “We just want to honor those who have risked their lives and remember those who have given their lives.” The duties of the flag corps team are

flag etiquette, meaning knowing how to responsibly and reverently raise and lower the American flag every day at BES as well as properly folding it. “It is so good to see these fifth graders take something like this so seriously,” said Brown. “To them, it means putting something bigger ahead of themselves.” The beginning of the 15-minutelong ceremony involved the students donning white gloves and filing out to the flagpole side-by-side. The honor guard proceeded to unfold and refold our nation’s symbol, each fold timed to a student explaining what that fold means today. “The students follow a rigid format,” said Brown. “We wanted to make the ceremony as real as possible for all those involved at BES. We took it as seriously as if it took place in Arlington National Park.” After the twelfth and final fold, the honor detail raised the flag while all attendees saluted it and recited the Pledge of Allegiance. After the ceremony, the students convened in the auditorium where they were awarded special recognitions which signified their accomplishment. The ceremony had been the end of their flag corps training; now they are ready to assume the flag corps responsibilities. “I am just a small dot,” said Brown. “But I consider myself fortunate enough to be able to pass the baton of patriotism to these students.”

Mrs. Johnsonʼs class salutes as the flag is being raised. The students who were involved took the ceremony very seriously and recognized the reverence of what it means to handle the American flag. Photo by Tyler Lindsey.

a nice pavilion, shady and cool, where you sit and eat your choice your lunch, cool off and rest for the next round. And, you do not have to be a member to shoot. You can go on their web site at wolfriverbowhunters.com and find the next time they will be shooting. For those that prefer a hook and line this time of year, here are some tips for local fishing areas. GLEN SPRINGS LAKE Catfishing is excellent.

Dove Hunters remember to keep your birds seeperated With Tennessee 2010 Dove Season opening at 12 noon on September 1, 2010, TWRA would like to remind all dove hunters to keep their doves separated while afield. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every year several dove hunters receive citations for not following this

simple rule,â&#x20AC;? stated Major Brian Thompson, TWRA Region I Law Enforcement Manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dove hunters need to be aware that Federal law states that no person shall possess more than one daily bag limit on the field.â&#x20AC;? Thompson added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;if a dove hunter wishes to give their doves to another, this must be done after they have left the field and the doves are to be tagged by the hunter with the following information: The hunterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature, address, the total number of birds involved by species and the dates the birds were killed. No person or business shall receive or have in custody any migratory game birds belonging to another unless such birds are properly tagged.â&#x20AC;? This means a hunter who gives his or her doves or other migratory species (ducks, geese, etcâ&#x20AC;Ś) to another person and does not follow this procedure is putting themselves and the other person in violation of the law. The first segment of Tennesseeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2010 Dove Season will go through September 26, 2010, with a daily bag limit of 15. Canada Goose Hunt wraps Waterfowl hunters have opportunities for hunting Canada geese in September. Canada goose hunting was allowed September 1-15, with a daily bag limit of 5 geese. Hunters should remember that all waterfowl hunting requires the use of nontoxic shot and all shotguns must be plugged to hold no more than 3 shells. When hunting on public land or water, hunters should remember that it is illegal to hunt within 100 yards of a visible dwelling without the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s permission. Waterfowl hunters should possess, in addition to other required licenses, a Federal Duck Stamp. A Tennessee Migratory Bird Permit is also required for hunters between 13-64 years of age.

First of all, thanks for all the phone calls and messages, sure are picking up nicely from opening day and opening weekend. Locally, hunters are doing good with the squirrels but they are harvesting mostly old squirrels which means the stewing pot instead of the frying pan. Do not be alarmed there is a lot of young squirrels too, which means this may be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;twoferâ&#x20AC;? season. Old squirrels now and young squirrels coming. It is hard to believe that the doves are flying high and fast already. Thought we might get a few days of good shooting. However, just maybe, there are some honey holes around that have not been hunted, yet, and maybe, again, those doves might be flying low and slow. It is still a great deal of fun to shoot regardless of what the dove is doing. Tennessee Archery Deer Season begins Sept. 25. State wide bag limit for antlered bucks is three. No more than one antlered deer per day. To take more than three antlered deer, you would have to harvest bucks on TWRA or NWR managed hunts where bucks are listed as bonus deer. â&#x20AC;˘ Archery (Antlerless Bag Limit 4 ) Sept. 25-Oct. 29, Nov. 1-5, Dec. 6-17 â&#x20AC;˘ Muzzle loader and Archery (Anterless Bag Limit 4) Nov. 6-19 â&#x20AC;˘ Gun, Muzzle loaders and Archery (See Hunting Brochure) Nov. 20-Dec. 5, Dec. 18, 2010 - Jan. 9,2011 â&#x20AC;˘ Young Sportsman (Antlerless Bag Limit 2) Oct. 30-31, Jan. 15-16, 2011 One change, we all need to know about is the new check in regulations. It seems we will need to check in the deer the date it is harvested. The new TWRA Hunters Guide has all the information on the locations of check in stations in the county and state. On Saturday, I went to Memphis Sport Shooting Association where the Tri State Championship match was being held. There were hand gunners from all over, between 150 and 200 shooters in all. There were ten stages with different setups for each stage and each setup was a practical scenario that one might run into with the bad guy in this day and time. It is not only fun but good practice, too. Larry Hill was the Range Master and did an excellent job setting up all the props, stages, safety officers, water and lunch. The only negative thing heard was folks talking about their last shot, which could have been better but that was me too. Sunday afternoon, I drove to Herb Parsons Lake to visit with the Wolf River Bow Hunters and their final shoot of the season. They set up twenty eight 3-D Targets including bears, turkeys, deer, antelope, elk etc. You could use any and all forms of legal Archery, compounds, recurves, longbows, crossbows except no broad heads, all target point arrows to be used with any equipment. It is a family affair, wives and children were present and shooting, too. The club also offers lunches of hamburgers, hot dogs, sausage and all the trimmings at very reasonable prices.

Cardinals crush Chargers in longtime rivalry By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader

It was a matter of dominance on the football field as the Brighton Cardinals imposed their will on the Covington Chargers rolling to their most impressive win in the in-county rivalry 47-6 over the younger and less experienced CHS squad. Brighton’s senior quarterback, Danny Potter, was on target most of the night, hitting on 23 of 35 passing attempts for 286 yards and two touchdowns. His long and short passes were accurate and, despite two CHS interceptions, kept the Chargers easily at bay. As well, the Cardinals had, 223 yards on the ground, most provided by junior TreyShan Gardner who had two rushing touchdowns and a season-high 133 yards on 11 carries, kept the CHS defense on the field too long. “ Both sides played hard,” said BHS head coach Will Wolfe. “ Our offense did well. We were able to switch when they stopped something. CHS had a good defensive plan. We were just able to adjust. Our kids really responded this week to the coaches. The Chargers are very young and will only get better.” Looking ahead, Wolfe expressed concern about this week’s game with Jackson Northside. “We get a major test in our division this week. JNS is highly ranked. We’ll have to get after it.” Brighton struck first on a 39-yard pass from Potter to Ricky Foster on its first possession. Drew Hopkins added the first of five PATs for a 7-0 lead after one period. CHS had its chances in the second period with two interceptions of Potter passes but could not take advantage either time. “Once again, we did not take advantage of opportunities,” said coach Marty Wheeler. “We could have easily gone to the locker room 14-7 but we jumped in the line after a pick and started out backing up. We broke our own back allowing a TD just before the half by not tackling with two seconds left. Instead it was 26-0.” The Cardinals broke the game open with three third quarter touchdowns. Another Potter to Foster pass, a 42-yard run by Antonio Dickerson and a touchdown on a punt block by the Cardinals was spelled by the only Charger score of the evening. CHS quarterback Britt Dunn hit Charger all-purpose back Carlos Williams with a swing pass in the backfield. He was hit simultaneously at the CHS 41 by a Cardinal defensive player who bounced off and watched Williams sail untouched to the end zone for a Covington touchdown. CHS also recovered a fumble in the second half but could not do anything with the turnover. The PAT was no good. There was no scoring in the fourth period. Brighton finished the game with 516 total yards to Covington’s 95. “Brighton is a good football team that is good at what they do. They disrupted us on defense,” said coach Wheeler. “They were well prepared and execut-

ed their game plan. Now we have to get ready for district play and Ripley. They are good. They beat Dyersburg 30-7. The Tigers can throw the ball and they have some speed and are somewhat similar to us. This is their Homecoming. We need our folks to travel tomorrow night. It’s a big game.” Covington and Brighton have had a longtime rivalry in the county - and it is a rivalry that is changing. Five seasons ago, the Chargers being steamrolled by the Cardinals was unheard of. But BHS has bounced back over the years and is renewing the competitiveness of game. This is something that Wolfe is aware of. “I was on the other end of a lot of losses,” Wolfe said. “But this time of year you don’t really have a lot of time to reflect. As soon as this one was over, I was thinking about North Side. You don’t really have time to stop and smell the roses and reflect. Maybe when I get older I will.” Brighton was 11-10 during Wolfe’s first two years as head coach. They are 21-5 since. “We made a lot of changes on both sides of the

ball. Our offense is aggressive, but so is our defense. Offense puts people in the stands, but defense wins championships.” CHS and Ripley kick-off at 7:30 pm on Sept. 17 in Lauderdale County while the Cardinals will play the sixth ranked (in a 5A poll) Jackson Northside on Sept. 17 at home at 7 p.m. and look to advance to 5-0. BHS is currently ranked ninth in the 6A poll.

Rough start dooms Munford in M and M bowl By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com

Things couldn’t have gotten off to much of a worse start for the Cougars Friday night in the M and M Bowl. Munford’s first two offensive plays resulted in an interception and a fumble returned for a touchdown and Millington took advantage en route to a 49-7 victory in front of a standingroom only crowd in Munford. Millington’s Josh Wilmer scored on a 21-yard touchdown run moments after the early fumble and Travron Taylor scored on the interception return to make the score 14-0. Later in the quarter Vernon King caught a 33-yard touchdown pass from Michael Brady and Antonio Webber scored on a 34-yard touchdown run to push the lead 28-0. Munford sophomore quarterback Hunter Harden, who had a rough night with five interceptions, hooked up with Derek Howell on a 34-yard touchdown pass late in the first quarter to give the Munford faithful a brief glimmer of hope. But three more Millington touchdowns in the second quarter put the game completely out of reach. “We were down 21-0 with nine minutes left in the first quarter and 21-0 with seven minutes left,” said Munford coach Matt Saunders. “No breaks were going our way and sometimes there’s nothing you can do about that.

By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com With one of the smallest rosters in the state, Tipton-Rosemark Academy is not the kind of team that can afford injuries. And when they strike key players, it’s even worse. That fact was on display Friday night in Memphis as the Rebels saw an early lead evaporate in a 38-6 loss the Harding Academy. When Keith Hamlin scored on a one-yard run four minutes into the game, the Rebels led 6-0. But Harding responded with two touchdowns in the second quarter and two more in the third to take control of the game. TRA’s starting quarterback, Chance

doubt. Clemens completed 7 of 14 passes for 154 yards and also rushed for 76 yards. Harding finished with 317 yards on the ground. Sampson passed for 66 yards on 6-of-9 passing before leaving the game. Gengenbach said he will likely be ready to play on Friday. Kyle Crook had a nice game receiving for TRA, catching three balls for 63 yards. Brown led Harding with four catches for 130 yards. The Rebels (0-4, 0-1) will play their second league game of the season Friday night at Jackson Christian School. “They’ve got a couple of good athletes who do a good job on offense,” said Gengenback. “We’re going to

Eventually the ball will bounce our way.” Munford’s offense settled down in the second half. A couple of good drives didn’t yield any points, but Saunders liked the way his team responded to a disastrous first half. “At halftime I told the guys to go out there and treat it like a zero-zero ballgame and win the second half,” Saunders said. “I’m not going to not call plays just because it’s 49-7.” Harden ended up completing 9 of 25 passes for 111 yards. Howell caught three passes for 67 yards and Reggie Fleming hauled in four for 41. Millington (2-1) did most of its damage on the ground, racking up 306 yards. Webber, who had a 58-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, and Roland Genessey, who had a 19-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, combined for 189 of those yards. Bradford Wilmer returned an interception 54 yards for Millington’s final touchdown. Following the game, Saunders pointed out that this was the first time in four years that the Cougars were not shut out in the M and M Bowl. Munford plays a key league game on Friday against Dyer County. “Region games are what matter,” Saunders said. “We can still achieve our preseason goal, which is to make the playoffs.”

Sampson, left the game in the second quarter with a shoulder injury. Wideout Jlyn Ballard was lost to a concussion in the third period and starting running back Zac Hodgins played with a nagging injury throughout the game. “We don’t have a lot of depth,” said TRA coach Dodd Gengenbach. “When happened tonight happens, you’re going to see this a lot. We just ran out of juice.” Hamlin filled in at quarterback and ended up with 84 yards passing and 59 rushing, but it wasn’t enough. When Harding Academy (2-2) quarterback Matt Clements hit Matt Brown on a 79-yard touchdown pass with 11:45 left in the first quarter, the outcome of the game was no longer in

Covington golf teams prosper By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com This time of year much of the attention goes to area football teams. Some of that attention should be going the way of the Covington High School boys and girls golf teams, considering the success both have enjoyed this season. The Chargers own recent wins over Halls, Haywood and Crockett County. Freshman Brad Walker, who is averaging a nine-hole score of 38, is leading the way. Sophomore Tommie Beasley is a first-year player who recently

posted a low round of 45. Craig Goforth, a sophomore, shot a 42 earlier this season and junior Jon Daniel McDivitt has cut 12 strokes off his average score since the season began. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each member is improving with each match,â&#x20AC;? said head coach Ken Lomax. On the girls side, senior Olivia Fowler, who has qualified for the state tournament the past two seasons, is having another excellent season. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s averaging a 43. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But that can be misleading,â&#x20AC;? said Lomax, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been playing as part of the boys team and playing from a longer distance.â&#x20AC;?

Fowler has scholarship offers from Bethel, Christian Brothers and Cumberland University. She is the defending district champ. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has her sights set on returning to the state tournament for a third year in a row,â&#x20AC;? Lomax said. Senior Haley Blalack, who helped the girls to a recent win over Crockett County, was out last year with a wrist injury. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has improved dramatically since returning,â&#x20AC;? Lomax said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s improved 10 to 12 strokes.â&#x20AC;? As the postseason approaches, Lomax said he likes the way his team is looking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are all great kids,â&#x20AC;? Lomax said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and I am lucky and honored to be their coach.â&#x20AC;?

The team will be taking part in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Volley for the Cureâ&#x20AC;? for the American Cancer Society this month. They are trying to fill the gym for their game on Sept. 30 at 5:30 p.m. against rival Ripley to raise money for the cause. The team encourages fans to wear pink and come support the Lady Chargers. The admission is only $6 with every $1 of that going to the American Cancer

Society. The team has labeled this as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pink Outâ&#x20AC;? night at CHS. They will also be collecting money at the freshman CHS football game on Thursday, Sept 30 and on Friday, Oct. 1. Both of these games will be at home and the Lady Chargers will be there and easy to spot, dressed in pink. They will also be passing around a bucket for donations to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month.â&#x20AC;?
