Project Play set to reopen By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com

COVINGTON – Thursday the long-awaited Project Play grand opening will take place in Cobb-Parr Park. The event, a culmination of hundreds of hours of sweat equity by volunteers, comes six months after the playground was destroyed by arsonists. Organizer Lee Johnston,

who has been a key force in the rebuilding effort, said the grand opening is a chance to begin anew. “This is a new playground,” he said. The playground was designed by engineers at the Feathers Company, the same company responsible for the previous structure’s design. Though the new equipment is similar to its predecessor,

there have been some additions made, Johnston said. “There’s a contained area for small children where the parents can turn them loose and they can play,” he said. “There are also additional swings, slides and two misters the kids can run through if they get hot.” Johnston and more than 200 volunteers worked on the rebuild for nine days during

the second warmest summer on record. Much of the summer was spent under excessive heat warnings and with heat indices over 100 degrees most days, conditions were dangerous but volunteers cautiously pressed on. “I think we picked the hottest week in June and the hottest weekend in July to work, but the volunteers worked anyway,” said Covington Mayor

David Gordon. “That shows their commitment to this community.” After hundreds of hours of construction and landscaping, the playground will reopen to the public Thursday during a grand opening ceremony in the park. The festivities will include drawings for country hams from Billings Bald Butcher restaurant in addition to gift cards for volunteers. SEE PLAY, PAGE A2

Longtime county clerk retires By TIFFANY HOLLAND tholland@covingtonleader.com In 1968 as the America was going through a tumultuous time of change, 18 year old Pam Deen was taking on a new change of her own by taking a job at the county clerk office. But since then, as the county expanded through the years, Pam Deen has remained for 42 years, but that all came to end on Tuesday when she retired after her tireless service to her community. After working for a city judge in Millington the former county clerk Clara McMillan saw Deen in church and told her there was a job opening in her office and she was hired immediately. “I remember there was just four of us in a pickup truck going to work then,” said Deen. “The population was so small and not many people had cars so we just all rode to the office together.” The county clerk office also had other duties such as juvenile court, which would move to general sessions in 1982. But as the population increased the clerk’s office would hire more people. “Car tags were due in March and April so those months were so busy and the lines were so long,” said Deen. “But then we started the current system where it’s due every month to make things smoother.” In spite of all the new help, Deen has a permanent indention on her thumb for writing so many licenses, which use to be done by hand. After being elected to the county clerk in 1994, Deen has become a fixture associated with the SEE DEEN, PAGE A2

Mobile meth lab found at campground By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com BURLISON – Rose of Sharon Campground is well-known for its annual Christmas lights and displays, but Sunday was the scene of a meth lab bust, officials with the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office said. Just before midnight, deputies responded to the Glory Circle facility after reports of suspicious activity were made. Brother Carlton Rose, who for more than a decade has operated a rehabilitative ministry, said just after 11 p.m. Sunday night a car pulled into the campground without its lights on, which alerted an employee. Rose alleges the people in the car were there to steal gas. The two men had previously spent time in the facility, after being court-ordered to do so, and he said they knew where he kept the gas. “They never would have been at the campground if they didn’t run out of gas,” Rose said. Rose said after one of the men tried to run away, he took the key from the vehicle and let the trio believe he was finding gas for them. He called for deputies instead. “In a matter of minutes the first officer arrived,” Rose said. And when they did, they found more than just a trio who’d run out of gas. A “shake and bake” lab, meaning a contained meth lab, was found at the scene. After the trio discovered law enforcement had been called, they attempted to hide items behind SEE METH, PAGE A2

Naifeh’s celebrates 100 years By TIFFANY HOLLAND tholland@covingtonleader.com A common saying is that a business needs to be profitable for three years in order to be a success. Since Naifeh’s has been up and running for 100 years this year, it is fair to say that not only is the grocery store a success, but a piece of history as well. This history will be celebrated on Wednesday, Sept. 8 beginning at 10 a.m. at the front of the Covington Naifeh’s store. Owners Joe and Sandra and Judson and Dana Naifeh invite customers to attend and have some refreshments and take advantage of some of the new sales all as a part of the store’s 100-year anniversary. Naifeh’s will also be giving out birthday t-shirts to the first 100 customers. For the next month, they plan on giving 100 items to the first 100 customers at both the Covington and Munford stores. The anniversary sale will last until Oct. 5 with some sales continuing all year. There will also be drawings for special bags of groceries and prizes at the end of it. The sales and specials are not an advertising venture, but a way for the store to give back to the community that kept in it business for a century. Synonymous with the city of Covington, Naifeh’s was formed in 1910 by Joseph Naifeh on the East Side of the Square. Ten years later, his son Oney Naifeh came to Covington from Beirut, Lebanon to help his father run the

store, a tradition that remains in the Naifeh family to this day. After Joe Naifeh died in 1929, Oney took over and had the first meat market in town. He also sold the first bottle of milk, loaf of bread, frozen orange juice and had the first shopping carts. Oney would also go on to buy out several grocery stores in Covington while keeping his store on the Square until 1966, when he moved into business with his son Joe who had worked in the store since he could walk. “I remember selling bottle of cokes there for a nickel when I was six or seven years old,” said Joe. “My father (Oney) just loved this store. He loved talking to the customers. It is my favorite part

now too.” Joe had built Naifeh’s Lucky Food Store at its current location on the Highway in Covington in 1963 and from there it grew in size. In 1994, Joe’s son Judson decided on joining the grocery business and has been the operator of the Covington store since. “I worked here in high school and went to college and wasn’t sure at first if I wanted in the grocery business,” said Judson. “But I came back and thought it was right for me. And I am so glad I did. I love being here.” In 1997, the Naifeh’s expanded by opening a store in Munford. While Judson and his wife Dana are the current Naifeh’s storeownSEE NAIFEHS, PAGE A5

Continued from A1 county officers and is widely known as one of the best clerk’s in the state. She was even President of the Clerk’s Association at one time. “I think I fulfilled my goals, “ said Deen. “And I just decided it was time I do what I wanted to do. So I decided to retire.” Deen said she is planning on traveling and getting to see more of her grandchildren now that she is no longer the county clerk. The new county clerk, Mary Gaither, took office on Sept. 1 and Deen said it should be a “smooth transition” since Gaither has been an assistant in the county clerk office for 17 years herself.

At her retirement party State Representative and Speaker Emeritus Jimmy Naifeh spoke kindly on behalf of Deen and presented her with a resolution honoring her years of service to the county. More than 200 people were in attendance to see Deen off and wish her well in this new direction her life is taking. “I just appreciate everyone in the county over the years. I am going to miss seeing them the most,” said a misty-eyed Deen. “But I hope to get to see many of them again. Just because I’m retired, doesn’t mean I stop caring.”

Tennessee uses a 44 item inspection sheet with a maximum of 100 points; scores of 70 and above pass inspection. Thirteen of the items are considered critical. Critical items, found out of compliance, must be corrected within 10 days. Follow-up inspections are conducted to determine compliance on critical items. Failure to correct critical violations or imminent health hazards result in closure of establishments until corrections are made. Serious or repeated violations may result in revocation of the establishment’s permit. The scores are used as a tool by the state and industry to place a value on compliance to the regulations, educate the operators, and thereby encourage corrective action. Complete records of food service establishments are public records and are available for public viewing at the health department. Scores can also be found online at http://health.state.tn.us.

METH

Continued from A1 some of the structures, Rose said. It turns out those items were components commonly associated with the manufacture of methamphetamine. During the investigation one deputy was injured. Officials said he opened a bag and was exposed to a cloud of chemical vapors. “This case is another example of how dangerous the cooking of meth is to everyone around it,” said Sheriff Pancho Chumley. “I commend the quick response from all of our emergency service agencies in this case. Their quick action defused a dangerous situation in short order.” Deputies arrested Nathan Lawrence Austin, 34, of 316 Bowers Road in Brighton; Jason Lewis McCane, 27, of 1505 Sunnyside Road in Brighton; and Elizabeth Nicole Goforth, 27, of 339 Regency Drive in Brighton at the scene. The deputy was treated for breathing difficulty by Rural Metro at the scene and transported to Baptist Memorial Hospital Tipton for additional treatment where he was later released. “It is always troubling to me when a deputy is injuried but I am thankful he is recovering and is able to return to work,” Chumley said. The DEA responded to the scene to properly dispose of the lab. The Covington Fire Department Hazmat Unit responded for decontamination treatment of the deputy and individuals at the scene. Also assisting at the scene were Gilt Edge Fire Department, Munford Police Department and Brighton Police Department. Bro. Rose said the incident is unfortunate and sheds bad light on his ministry. He said the mission of his organization is to help people straighten their lives out. “We try to have a good name out here, we don’t want people to think we’re cooking meth out here,” he said. “They were just up here to steal gas.” The trio was charged with criminal trespassing, initiation of the manufacture of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia. They will face the charges in Tipton County General Sessions (901)476-8632 Court on Oct. 15. thorntonshomefurnishing.com

Chief selectees complete volunteer project in Covington By TIFFANY HOLLAND tholland@covingtonleader.com

Approximately 100 Sailors from various commands at naval Support Activity Mid-South descended upon the Tipton County Museum, Veterans Memorial & Nature Center on Wednesday, Aug. 25, volunteering their time to perform grounds maintenance and facility upkeep. This community service project is one of many different tasks the Chief Petty Officer selectees (sailors selected for promotion to chief petty officer), the Navy’s pay grade E-7, will perform during six-week training process designed to prepare them for the increased duties and

responsibilities as chiefs. During the process, each selectee is assigned an experienced sponsor and together they complete a variety of mental and physical exercises in addition to performing community service projects. This marks the 11th year that Naval Support has pitched in to help the non-profit museum. The Covington Parks and Recreation Department as well as City of Covington and Tipton County Officials are thankful for the continued support of the Navy Chiefs and Chief Selects, according to museum director Alice Fisher. “Maintaining such a large facility is an expensive and time-consuming endeavor,” said Fisher.

“We feel very fortunate to have been adopted by such a wonderful group of people. As always this group of sailors performed 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.” The naval men and women were as equally gracious about cleaning up the facility. “The ability to give back to our community by helping maintain a museum that remembers those who have served

TDOT works to improve highway By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com Last week, the Tennessee Department of Transportation began working on improving roadways in Tipton County. Expect minor delays along Highway 51 in Brighton and Covington through the end of October as crews work to resurface the road. “They’ll be resurfacing roads from Woodlawn up to (Highway) 59,” said TDOT Region 4 spokesperson Nichole Lawrence. “They’ll repave and dress up the shoulders, then restripe the roads after they’ve been repaved.” Construction is currently underway from Woodlawn Ave. in Brighton to just north of Lanny Bridges in Covington, a 5.5-mile strip of the busy highway. The project will cost an estimated $1.4 million. Work will be completed by Lehman Roberts.

Garcia pleads guilty to federal charges By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com MEMPHIS – One of the men convicted in the murder of Trooper Calvin Jenks now faces life in prison after pleading guilty to federal charges Wednesday. U.S. Attorney Edward L. Stanton III announced Orlando Garcia, 23, plead guilty to conspiracy to distribute marijuana, aiding and abetting the killing of a law enforcement officer to avoid apprehension and prosecution for conspiracy to distribute marijuana. Garcia has been incarcerated since his Jan. 7, 2007 arrest in Nashville. In December 2007, he was found guilty of facilitation of first-degree murder, meaning he provided a means in which Jenks could be shot by his co-defendant, and sentenced to 19 years in prison. Garcia and Alejandro Gauna, both formerly of Austin, Texas, were in Tennessee to sell marijuana. Trooper Jenks was fatally shot on Jan. 6, 2007, after he pulled the duo over during a traffic stop on Hwy. 14 near the Gift community, east of Covington. Gauna was convicted of the murder in May

2008 and was sentenced to life with the possibility of parole after 51 years. In May 2009, Garcia and three others were indicted on federal drug trafficking charges related to Jenks’ death. The indictment charged Garcia, Ruben Gauna, Jessie Arvizu and Emilio Fernandez with conspiring with one another to bring large amounts of marijuana into the United States from Mexico to distribute in the western and middle districts of Tennessee. The defendants allegedly purchased marijuana in Texas and used a stash house to store the drug until it could be transported into Tennessee for distribution, said a press release from the federal court system. The U.S. Attorney’s Office also alleged the

defendants possessed and used various firearms for the protection of their narcotics business. Garcia now faces a sentence ranging from 20 years to life. The conspiracy to distribute marijuana charge carries a penalty of not more than five years, a $250,000 fine and not less than two years unsupervised release. The charge of aiding and abetting the killing of a law enforcement officer to avoid apprehension and prosecution for conspiracy to distribute marijuana carries a penalty of not less than 20 years, up to life or death, a $250,000 fine and not more than five years supervised release. It is not yet known when he will be sentenced.

OPINION www.covingtonleader.com

When Daddy bought our home place in the downtown metropolis of Rosemark and finally got settled in there was a lot of plannin’ goin’ on ’tween him and Momma. Since another family rented the other side of the dwellin’ until they relocated there wasn’t much else to do. The war was windin’ down and Daddy knew he would be laid off soon since there was no longer any need for gun powder overseas. Momma and Daddy knew we had to eat to survive so arrangements were made to put in a garden in the best spot on the property. Plannin’ is important. The former garden was real small and hadn’t been worked much. But the ground was fairly fertile and had a little slope so the water would slowly run off if we got a big wallowin’ frog strangler. Otherwise the soil would wash and erode out in the lower cow pasture. Over the years we relived in our relaxin’ talks and discussed the

ery of no finances which further inhibits the development of future endowments. While the present generation is again lost in the cloud of not understanding how you try to do sumpin’ when you ain’t got nuthin’ to do sumpin’ with. It’s about the same as puttin’ hot toothpaste back in a squashed Ipana tube. Kinda’ hard. Only my senior citizens blessed with wisdom would understand the tools required to stake out a garden or fence in a pasture and hog lot. Just think about repairing a droopin’ barn, a smokehouse and hammer a farrowin’ pen. Try runnin’ juice out to the chicken house with no tools to speak of. Now this takes some brilliant Southern intellectual figgerin’ that don’t come from above the M-A-D line regardless of the ’cipherin’ from Princeton and Harvard. But Southerners can do it even after the Northern aggression, carpetbaggers, and depression the South has rose up again‌ Check us out online www.covingtonleader.com

NAIFEHS

Continued from A1 and his wife Sandra can still be found in the store chatting with customers, sweeping the floors or stocking shelves. “It’s just fun to me,” said Sandra. “We have the nicest customers and we’ve gotten to know everyone by name. And we have wonderful employees. It’s like a family.” Unlike many of the bigger, national corporate groceries the owners are always available to speak with their customers and participate in the community. And the Naifeh’s can always be found at Naifeh’s. After these 100 years in business, the Naifeh grocery store shows no sign of slowing down and looks to be headed 100 more with their roots still intact. Clopton Methodist Church will host

Recently, we asked some of our readers to share some of their fondest memories of Naifeh's Food Rite and of Mr. Oney. This is what they had to say.

I worked for Mr. Oney. I was a new employee and he was teaching me how to stock.After moving the cereal while he was gone, he came back and looked at me and said, 'Just what have you done here?' I was scared that I had made a mistake so I didn't say anything. He asked me again and I told him that I was just stocking the cereal. He said, 'And doing a good job of it too.' We both smiled and he gave me a hug. I'll never forget that..

I worked k d for f Naifeh's N if h' 181/2 years. Mr. Oney was a good man and loved his wife dearly. (Boy could they dance) I will never forget the day I drove him down to Memphis to get watermelons at the market. He told me stories after stories of how he came to town to start his business. Great memories!

I have many, many memories of my mom picking my sister, Caroline, and I up from the babysitter's and heading straight to Naifeh's at 5:00. She and I would make a bee line for the cereal aisle, where you could always find Mr. Oney. He'd greet us with, "How ya doin' today?" and give us each a "dum dum" sucker. Twenty or more years later I still remember Mr. Oney's voice, his look, and his smile. I now make it a point to take my 19 month old, Jonah, shopping at Naifeh's. I get this nostalgic feeling just walking through those sliding doors and I can't help but glance down that cereal isle and remember him.

I just know that Mr. Oney and Ms. Adell were great people who really cared about their customers and employees. They were great friends of my Mom and Dad and I know my Dad thought the ...world of Mr. Oney. One of my best memories is seeing Mr. Oney ride on those little motorized bike things in the Christmas parades. He always looked like he was having a ball

Sunday School 9:00 am & 10:30 am

Things a blind man saw In Acts 9 (and Luke later records in both Acts 22 and Acts 26), we have the conversion of a young man named Saul of Tarsus. Luke introduces us to him in Acts 8 as we see him consenting unto the first death of a disciple of Jesus Christ (Stephen). As a devout Pharisee (Philippians 3:5-6), he quickly began persecuting the church that Christ built upon the foundation of his apostles in Acts 2. Yet, one day as he was near the city of Damascus, he saw a heavenly light that was brighter than the Palestinian sun. Upon his conversation with the Lord Jesus Christ, he waited for instructions from Ananias to comply with obedience to the fact that Jesus selected him to be one of his apostles. Luke states, “And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink” (Acts 9:9). Nevertheless, while Saul was blind for three days, he did see some very important things in his life. He saw that one could be honest, sincere, conscientious, religious, zealous and still be dead wrong! Concerning the early part of his Jewish life, he wrote to Timothy that he did things “ignorantly in unbelief” (I Timothy 1:13). From the aforementioned passage in Philippians 3:5-6, he deemed himself to be very devout and zealous. Yet, none of these mattered on that road to Damascus. He was still an enemy of his Lord and needed obedient faith. Many follow in these

footsteps today. He saw that one could be mistaken completely and thoroughly as to the identity of the people of God. At the time, he still thought that the Jews were the people of God; at the time, he thought that God was pleased with his actions. Yet, he was mistaken, and many people today are mistaken as to the identity of the people of God. He saw that to persecute the people of God is to persecute Christ himself. While he was persecuting the church (Acts 9:1-2), Jesus asked him, “Why persecutest thou me?” (Acts 9:4). He later learned the association between the people of God and Christ (cf. Matthew 25:31-46). He saw that one cannot obtain salvation by faith alone, but saving faith is obedient faith. While he addressed Jesus as “Lord” in Acts 9:6, even to the point of asking, “What wilt thou have me to do?” Jesus did not reply that his faith has saved him without any need to do anything else (as some teach today). He told Saul to go to Damascus and wait for further instructions, which came through a called disciple named Ananias. He still needed to obey God, which he would do through these instructions from Ananias. We also need to see that saving faith is obedient faith (cf. Hebrews 5:8-9). He saw that salvation demands genuine repentance. Once he realized what he had done (cf. Acts 9:4-

5), his demeanor changed. He was “trembling and astonished” (Acts 9:6). The fact that he fasted for three days (Acts 9:9) is generally a sign of repentance. Jesus demanded, “And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations” (Luke 24:47), which Peter began in Acts 2:38. He saw that only the Lord could tell men what to do to obtain salvation. Jesus told him to go to Damascus and wait for further instructions (Acts 9:6), which he did (Acts 9:8-9). When God called Ananias to go to Saul, Ananias said to him, “Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me” (Acts 9:17). Thus, he knew that the instructions he would receive from Ananias ultimately came from God. Only God can tell man what to do to obtain salvation! He saw that even a persecutor and a blasphemer could obtain salvation by the grace of God through the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is the very point he would make to Timothy in First Timothy 1:15-16. Anyone can become a child of God by his grace when he complies with the gospel. Therefore, the whole world needs to see the things that a blind man saw! --Sam Willcut preaches for the Munford Church of Christ (sam.willcut@ munfordcofc.org)

Myla Smith to release album on wedding day By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com

Myla Smith has collaborated with her fiancĂŠ two-fold this year. Not only will the singing sensation from Shake Rag exchange vows this September, but she will have planned for the occasion in the midst of collaborating with her soonto-be husband, Richard Thomas, on her third studio album, WHITE/GOLD. WHITE/GOLD will be available for pre-release to Facebook fans and email list subscribers on September 4 which also happens to be her wedding day. The date seemed appropriate for Smith keeping in mind its preparation involved and the events leading up to its release. Smith began the project around the same time that she became engaged in February of 2010. Smith chose to release the album on her wedding day because it was, in fact, so co-mingled with the wedding having been co-produced by her fiancĂŠ.

Smith said, “This project was exciting, but also scary and overwhelming because of the usage of two different production styles. It’s definitely my most ambitious project yet.� Smith presented songs that altogether capitulated a set genre. Some could be branded as pop songs while others stand with a distinctly country influence. Her efforts yielded a 50-50 of the two with six pop songs and six country songs present on the album. She felt that this territory warranted a sacred attitude toward producing the album. "It was definitely a challenge to meet this specific goal for the album," said Smith. "I feel confident that we achieved what we set out to do." The album teems with soaring, atmospheric music which couples nicely with Smith’s decadent vocal layering. In addition, the babbling, percussive backbone of songs like “Closer� lead the songs on a fun ramble through Smith’s lyrical imagery. Myla Smith’s personal signature on the

country aspects of WHITE/GOLD stay true to the genre’s trademarks. Her countryinfused songs call to mind styles reminiscent of Allison Krauss or, somewhat more vaguely, the Dixie Chicks. Heavily-themed, the subject matter of these songs lean toward the real-life aspect of love which sometimes isn't as pretty or clean-cut as hoped. “After I got engaged, my fiancĂŠ and I wanted to stay on track with the pre-imagined plans. However, the biggest challenge was staying true to each style and not just adding a characteristic element of each genre.â€? While the themes of some songs revel in the throes of love which reminisce that of her current state, others, namely the country selections, delve into the, some may say, darker side of love. Smith just says that these themes reveal the real, sacrificing face of what it means to love someone wholeheartedly and unconditionally. These ideas are what Smith had in mind to evince all along.

Smith said, “The main idea of this album is to show how life can contradict itself. There are two sides to real life and I want people to recognize themselves in these songs.�

Military Matters Marine Corps Pvt Nolan G. McDonough, grandson of Denton and Sherry Lee of Brighton, Tenn., recently completed 12 weeks of basic training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, S. C designed to challenge new Marine recruits both physically and mentally. McDonough and fellow recruits began their training at 5 a. m., by running three miles and performing calisthenics. In addition to the physical conditioning program, McDonough spent numerous hours in classroom and field assignments which included learning first aid, uniform regulations, combat water survival, marksmanship, hand-to-hand combat and assorted

weapons training. They performed close order drill and operated as a small infantry unit during field training. McDonough and other recruits also received instruction on the Marine Corps' core values--honor, courage and commitment, and what the core values mean in guiding personal and professional conduct. McDonough and fellow recruits ended the training phase with The Crucible, a 54-hour, team evolution culminating in an emotional ceremony in which recruits are presented the Marine Corps Emblem, and addressed as "Marines" for the first time in their careers.

Lieutenant Colonel John S. Bommer Jr., commander of the 26th Network Operations Squadron at Maxwell AFB-Gunter Annex, Ala. was a recipient of the 2009Air, Space and Cyberspace Operations award. The squadron was one of only 17 award winners of the prestigious citation. Col. Bommer's general wrote, “Congratulations to you and your squadron for being names this year's AFSPC's Best Network Operations Squadron. These exceptional units and individuals have distinguished themselves through superb professionalism and dedication to AFSPC's highest standards of excellence. Congratu-

lations to all.� The 26th NOS blocked more than 4,000 malicious networks, protected Air Force assets and missions by preventing more than 1,400 cyber attacks and allocated 27 Tactical Internet Protocol addresses to deployed units to enable real-world missions following the earthquake in Haiti and the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Col. Bommer achieved this distinction during just his first year at Gunter and during his first command. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Bommer Sr., of Covington, said, “We are very proud of what he is doing for his country.�

If it keeps on raining...

Tipton County Commission on Aging events

By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com Many of us have heard the saying, “When it rains, it pours,� but not so many of us knows what happens when that gets worse. Author Tammy King paints a autobiographical picture of what that looks like in her book, When the Levee Breaks: Holding on When Life Lets Go. When things surely cannot get any worse, King tells how it absolutely can fall further down, but she Tammy King held a book also shows how to deal signing last Thursday, August 26. with it. Having lived in Drummonds for 33 years or since she was seven years old, King is most certainly not new to this area, yet her publication will become known worldwide through Tate Publishing, one of the top ten publishing firms in the country. “My book shows how loss can be evinced in three different ways and also in close proximity,� said King. “I want to tell readers that, while these challenges are quite difficult to deal with, there are people who understand and who encourage progress in these areas.� Precisely one year after being agreeing to a contract with Tate, her first release When the Levee Breaks is scheduled to make its appearance on bookshelves throughout the world starting on September 14. The date is of importance as it is also her 40th birthday. The milestone, however, has not come without heartbreak or emptiness as her book's title implies. Upon submission of three manuscripts, King outlined in each her estrangement from her strong-founded church family as well as the heartbreaking passing of her beloved father. Just when King thought her life “could not get any worse,� she and her husband separated one week after her father’s death, leaving her with kids to raise by herself. Roughly taking place during the same time, and conceptually paralleling the intrinsic anomaly of 2005’s disaster, Katrina, King’s life took turn after turn for the worse. King said, “I compare my experiences to what happened in New Orleans in 2005. What seemed so horrible during the storm was nothing to what happened after the storm passed. It was when the levee broke that caused so much damage.� King says she aims to show how God plays a part in reconstructing a seemingly broken life; how after all the shattered pieces fall to the floor, there’s still a possibility of them being leveled; and, finally, how to survey the damage after the flood and see what's left standing like her children, friends and ability to share her flood with others.

Local history book signing and release By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com Yes, Memphis's rich heritage runs deeply in the historical roots of southwest Tennessee. To be sure, however, the history of south-central Tipton County and goes back just as deep and is just as interesting. Federal judge Jon McCalla of Memphis has headed a group of local historians to compile the book An Illustrated History of the People and Towns of Northeast Shelby County and South Central Tipton County. The release of the publication coincides with its book signing on Saturday, October 9 which will take place at the Richland Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church in Rosemark. McCalla's deep interest in history spurred him to organize an effort to compile the book. Over nine years were spent in researching, writing and composing its nearly 600 page contents showing over 630 photographs, maps and illustrations. The authors inform the reader with general information of the communities of Salem, Portersville, Idaville, Kerrville, Armourtown, Bethel, Tipton, Mudville, Macedonia, Gratitude, Barretville and Rosemark. The telling reaches back into the 1830s and on to about 1950. The area's history begins with Salem ARP Church which was organized in 1836. An Illustrated History centers on telling the history of some of the once bustling communities like Salem, Idaville and Portersville and the ways of life of their people—and how the railroad changed everything. Reminiscent of the falling through of Randolph after it burned during the Civil War, the railroad caused many to migrate to other towns and communities that housed depots. As a result, after 1872, these communities somewhat vanished and the hope of An Illustrated History is to remember what once was and to learn

the existing area's beginnings and from where it came. It's an exciting prospect for all those involved in its telling. Organizers of the book signing aim to make a day of it. In the church's yard, antiques native to the area will be displayed along with artifacts that tell its history. Everything from period automobiles to the medical bag of Dr. Jim Fleming, with which he used to make house calls, will be shown. Contributing historian James Allen Smith will furnish an account book of Idaville Store. The book shows the credits of the farming families of the area and what they bought revealing habits and ways of life of the time. Also a contributor to the book True Tales of Tipton, Smith said, “People's interest in this type of history comes and goes and sometimes it seems like they don't care much about it. However, I think the information shown in this publication will stir interest in the subject like never before.�

It’s a coolish Tuesday morning on the Mountain. We’ve been back in some warmer weather but nothing near 100 lately. Cool nights and mornings feel like Fall will be here soon. September will be here tomorrow - my favorite month! This week’s Farm Report: Cotton is popping open everywhere! Corn is being shelled and in another three weeks or so it will be history. Beans leaves are starting to

turn yellow, won’t be long for them either. We need rain; got a scant three-tenths Sunday. Natural Rescources Secretary Bonnie Holloway and I drove to Jackson, where we met up with Soil Technician Richard Rogers, for the West Tennessee Area Conservation Distrcts Summer Meeting. We had several speakers, one topic being the problem of marestail and pigweed, and our guest speaker, David Smith, director, talked about the Natural Bird Dog Museum - Field Trial Hall of Fame in Grand Junction - the only bird dog museum in the world! He had a very good movie and answered questions.

So, if you’re a bird dog fan, check it out on Highway 57. We had a nice meal of barbeque and chicken and we had a good ride home. We always have a lot to talk about! Sunday family members gathered at the home of Jeff and Christie Coughlan for Mary Joyce and Larry Couglan’s 50th Anniversary. A good tape of pictures of their wedding, children, and other family members was playing on the television in the living room and we had cake, nuts, cinnamon squares, sausage balls, cheese and crackers and punch. A good time was had by all and we wish them many more happy years together! After the reception James and I headed to Murfreesboro, where I had a Board of Directors Meeting for the above-mentioned TACD. We stayed overnight and my meeting was a 1 yesterday. We got out at 4 - long meeting! Also mentioned above, the problem of the chemical-resistant weeds will be further discussed at a meeting with Monsanto in November. Will keep you informed, farmers, on the progress made on this matter. We had a long ride home, stopping at Jackson for supper, and arriving here about 9 p.m. Even if you’re just gone for one night, your own bed feels good! Roy Randolph is having treatments; keep in him your prayers, as well as so many others going through the same thing. Heath Billings and Chad Cromwell are in my prayers as they begin skin grafts following their accident. Happy Birthday this week goes to David Watkins, Jeff Hanks and Andrew Evans on September 1st and to Andrea Weed and Wayne Kuykendall on the 3rd! Happy Anniversary to Wayne and Charlene Dalrymple on August 31st and to

Hello Dear Readers: Randolph United Methodist Church - HOMECOMING is Sept. 12. REVIVAL Sept. 12 thru - Sept 15. There will be potluck meals after the Sunday morning service and Wednesday night at 6 p.m. before the last service. Rev. Mike Pilcher will be leading the services and there will be special music.

My Crepe Myrtle Tree When our home was built about 20 years ago the former owners planted crepe myrtles all around the house. There is one at my bedroom window. This tree is tall as our house. But, there is one limb that hangs down right at my eye level. Each day I sat at my little table and chair and read my Bible and have my devotional. This beautiful watermelon colored big cluster of blooms & bright colored green leaves makes me feel good as I see this tree that God has made for me to enjoy. I enjoy the small things in my life. What a blessing!!!! Our Big Red Truck is in the Truck Hospital (namely Cary’s Body Shop.)

So, we stop by pretty regular to get some air and have the tires checked. He pulled into the wrong lane for tires. The attendant told him to back out and get in the tire check line. So, he backed out and got in the right line and the attendant motioned for him to come forward. Well, low and behold, his foot slide off the break and down on the gas pedal....hitting one post and then another post!!! The front end of the truck was really messed up. The people at Walmart came rushing to his rescue. They called the fire department, an ambulance, the police and everyone came rushing to his aid. The Walmart employees got him a chair and a bottle of water. Even the store manager came out to check on him. He has a sore shoulder were he hit the steering wheel.... he is sore but we don’t think anything was broken. He was wearing leather bottom shoes....so they were slippery! SO BEWARE of slippery shoes!!! Prayers for: Patra Ballard, Lois Conger, Dorothy Cook, Cathryn Cupples, Edna Downing, John Downing Charlene Lott, Zadie Pugh, Mildred Wiseman, Evelyn Griffin and Dell Fergerson, Ed and Bertha Walker.

PAID POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT

Rogers announces bid for Atoka mayor seat I want to begin by telling you how honored I am to be your candidate for Mayor of Atoka. My wife, Janis, and I have lived in this wonderful town of Atoka for over 40 years. We have been blessed to be able to raise our two children, Christina and Paul, in this community, and we now enjoy seeing our grandchildren, Evan and Brentley Rae, being raised here as well. My family and I have been members of Atoka Presbyterian Church since 1975. I humbly serve as Elder and Treasurer. I have worked for Millington Telephone Company for 45 years. During that time I have held many positions and currently I am assistant director at USA Stadium. I am retiring from my current position at USA Stadium at the beginning of 2011. Atoka, Tennessee is a passion for me. I have worked many hours personally and professionally to make certain that in all aspects of life, Atoka is a great place to call home. I began serving the City of Atoka as alderman in 1977. I have been blessed to have been re-elected by the citizens of Atoka for the past 33 years. During this time, I have worked diligently to make Atoka the wonderful town that it has become today. In the past 30 years, Atoka has grown from 600 citizens to a population of over 9,000. Despite overwhelming growth, the city continues to maintain one of the lowest city tax rates in the state. During my tenure, Atoka has gone from sharing a police department with Munford to having a full-time police department that ranks among the top. Atoka now has our own city water department instead of paying the city of Munford to service our water. Another accomplishment for our town is establishing our own city sewer system. Through this achievement, we went from backups running in yards and ditches to a sewer system which is operated in conjunction with Munford, making a green and sanitary environment for the community. The most recent accomplishment I am proud of is our Parks and Recreation Team. I have worked

hands-on with other city leaders to apply and receive grant money from the State of Tennessee to help fund our new parks. These parks are wonderful places for our growing community to enjoy without having to spend one’s own money. I currently serve as Chairman of the Atoka Planning Commission, which continuously plans for future developments in Atoka. The planning commission is responsible for making the decisions that are in the best interest of our citizens with direction and guidance from city inspectors and engineers. Serving on the planning commission has given me the experience to enhance our future business growth. Kroger, Burger King, Cineplanet Movie Theater and Comfort Inn are now here in this community meeting the needs of the citizens of Atoka and surrounding areas. As local businesses are vital to our community in keeping our tax rates low, I will strive to bring other businesses and restaurants to Atoka. I also serve on the Tipton County 911 Board. We constantly strive to improve our emergency 911 system to better serve the citizens of Tipton County. No area is without need for improvement, and there are many things that I would like to refine within our city. Here are a few tasks that I am confident I can accomplish with the support of our aldermen: • Cleaning and maintaining unsightly ditches • Installing fire hydrants in needed areas • Creating more free family activities (fireworks, festivals, park cookouts) • Developing a youth soccer program. As you can see, managing a city the size of Atoka has to have someone with proven leadership and experience. In 2011, I am retiring from my career with Millington Telephone after 45 years, and I will be dedicated and available full-time when serving the citizens of Atoka. I would appreciate your support and prayers during this election. Thank you for your support! Tommy Rogers

Hi Everyone, Welcome to September folks. Well, we didn’t get any snow, but those overcast skies and cooler temperatures sure helped me to relax. In conversation Sunday, several people said they spent Sunday afternoon napping. Charlie and I were part of that number too. I know we are still a-ways from Fall, but the thought of it is exciting. Which reminds me, I hope you saw the harvest moon last week. I just by chance happened to walk outside to see about our dog and glanced up. It was incredibly beautiful. You’re not going to believe this, but my daughter Terri and her family, who just recently moved here, will now be moving back to Centerville. A female dentist in Millington, which I choose

not to mention, told her that her business had dropped due to the recession and that she could not use her. After the turmoil of kids getting adjusted and all the normal business of moving they will now return. Thank God they had not sold their home. The Lord has different plans for them. Don’t forget the Clopton Fun-fest to be held this Saturday the 4th at 5285 Brighton-Clopton Road. There will be music, carnival games and crafts. The time is 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Salem Presbyterian Church Worship is at 11 a.m. each Sunday morning. Rev. Charles Todd is the minister. Everyone is always welcome. Please make plans to sttend the celebration her on September 12. After enjoying the meal together at 12:30 p.m. we will assemble at 2 p.m. in the sanctuary for a program in which

Dear Brighton Readers, Is this not some incredible weather!! The mornings are my favorite time. We definitely can’t complain after the summer we have had. If you weren’t at the Brighton Bartlett game you really missed the highlight of the weekend. We won big and fought to the end. I’m not sure who we competed against the most, the refs or the team. I do believe there were as many flags as points scored .I’ve wanted to say that all week....so there, Ha!! However, the Bartlett fans that I encountered were nice as any I’ve been around. Our band did super and you can tell as the weeks go by how much they tend to improve. This week is Cordova at their field. Please come out to support them. If you are not sure about directions just follow by convoy the buses from the school. You could really tell that our fans were very supportive this past week cause I do believe that we had as many or more fans than Bartlett. And I guess all of you know that the next game is? You guessed it Covington at our home field. The infamous county competition. Be there or be square. You know Ms. Millie Pullen will be there, cow bell and all.

This is the son and grandson’s of Mr. and Mrs. Thornton Fee. Happy birthday this week to Terri Click. Hope it’s the greatest! Covington Church of Christ Worship is at 10:30 a.m. Sunday morning and 5:30

October 25. Pre-registration is required. Call 1-800-324-1851. The Atoka U.M. Church had a family council meeting on Sunday followed by a bountiful pot-luck dinner.

And since Wednesday was September 1, I wish a happy birthday to all the following: Melissa Wilson, Tobie Smith, Aprul Arnold, Harrison Hight, Autumn Billings, Keeley Connery, Julia Ward , Jewel Forbess, Heather Mashburn, Leslie McCarthy, Jerry McDaniel, Audina Ayers, Jeremy Ayers, Robert Milton Smith, Angie Brewer, Leah Anne Cooper, Pennie Cross, Jesse Brooks, Tommy Pinner, Amy Turnage, Johnny Metcalf, Rudy Forbes, Danny Downing, Kenneth Turnage, Amber Starnes, Linda Mashburn, Walker Boyd Fite, Annie Lee Brumley, Betty Smith, Scott McKee, Ben McKee, Larry Forbes, Curtis

The band will have their first competition on the 18th. They need as much water as we can round up. If you can donate some cases it would be greatly appreciated. The football team is also needing to find a trailer and 4-wheeler to pull the tunnel and generator. If anyone has any leads or knows if someone would be interested in selling these items, please call me at 2680091. Speaking of school matters, the ACT exam will be given at Brighton High School on the 11th. If you have a student who has registered for the test please make sure that they have plenty of rest the night before and a good breakfast. On the day of they need to bring their registration form and ID. They also need to have a calculator and pencils. If your not aware the progress reports are out, check it out... I know I have spoken a lot about the school this week but I want to include this, it is so important for us to be hospitable. If we are cordial and kind to the opposition they will have a pleasant experience. A pleasant experience will mean a good example and teams looking for-

Hello from Burlison. Paula and I have an anniversary next week. Seven years of wonderful marriage on September 6th. They say that time flies when you’re having fun well I must have been having a ball. All kidding aside, I want to tell Paula thank you so much for the joy you have added to my life. Ms. Shirley Hicks and I were talking the other day and she told me the same thing that my son Adam had told me about year or so ago. She said that I need to interview people here in the Burlison area, only Ms. Shirley took it one step farther and she said why not write stories on people that have already passed on. People that were pillars of our community, people that had businesses here and people that had lived here all their life here. Well anyway you get the idea, so if you know anyone you would like to have a story written about, please give me a call. I’m sorry for the misprint in last weeks article about the Glen Beck rally, it was the 8/28 rally and

That’s tomorrow, Friday & Saturday, starting at 9:00a.m., and going till ??? Both days!! Yeah, we’re finally going to get it done!! I’m so glad we waited for this time of year rather than the hot of the year. Its gona make it so much nicer! Maybe I won’t get a heat stroke like I almost did last year! I got too hot and terribly dehydrated. As it turned out, I was on antibiotics at the time and totally forgot that you’re not supposed to be out in the sun and heat while taking them, so that’s what made me so sick, hopefully that won’t happen again this year!

Well it was a great success! Last Saturday from 2-5 p.m., Jamestown’s Community Health Organization’s fundraiser “It Takes Ten” actually took way more than that. With a few minutes delay, President Jessie Cooke and his staff did it once again at the Baker Community Center in Millington. Minister Pearl Andrews opened up with prayer and scripture. Joann Bell gave the occasion of it all while LaRue Albritton and Willie Mae Burton presented JCHO”s history. President Cooke presented the officers, Gwen Cooke and JoAnn Bell outlined a wonderful program compiled of 10 tables with a caption on each, and all tables presented a talent of two.

Glen seems to be a nice guy who cares for our country and believes in God. It’s good to hear someone stand up and praise our Lord without thinking that they might offend someone. We need more like him. The weather is starting to cool and in West TN, that means hunting season. This past Saturday was hunt free day and also the opening day of squirrel season. I used to so look forward to opening day and squirrel camp every year but I haven’t done that in years now. Ronnie Howard and Brad Little, two of my coworkers enjoyed that tradition again this year. They each said they had a wonderful time and plenty to eat at camp. I had a surprise visit from a wonderful friend, Mr. Jimmy Burlison. He and his daughter stopped by for a little while. Mr. Jimmy said that he had been in ill health for a couple of years but is now getting better and stronger every day. For those readers who are not citizens of Burlison, Mr. Jimmy was our Mayor for 40 years. I was able to have the privilege of serving on the Burlison City Council with him for a while. Mr.

If you still have something to donate to us for the sale, it’s not too late! Just bring it on over today and we’ll put it in the sale tomorrow! We’ll take anything you have. Like the old saying goes, one man’s junk is another man’s treasure! There are so many of you that come and volunteer to help and I “do appreciate” your willingness to come and join us cause it’s so much more fun when several people work together! We’ll be putting it out today, (Thurs.) and open it for business Friday morning at 9:00a.m.. No 6:00 a.m. early birds please, give me a chance to get up and my help get here. I may be able to get out there by 8:00, but that’s about as early as it will be. I hope to see a lot of faces from the last couple years, but this year, we’re going to have a way to get something to eat

Munford takes down Chargers in rivalry game By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader

It was a night of missed opportunities in the first half for the Covington Chargers who could have easily put 21 points on the board in that time span and a night of taking advantage of opportunities in the 2nd half for the Munford Cougars as they pulled away for a 27-12 win in a battle of in-county rivals last Friday at Covington’s Athletic Field. Munford moved to 2-0 on the season, while Covington fell to 1-1. “Obviously y I’m ecstatic to be 2-0,” said Munford coach Matt Saunders, unders, who is also 2-0 0 against Covington gton after beating the he Chargers last year in Week 1. “But I’m still preaching to the team that we were in the same spot last year … We still ll have to know how to finish.” ” After holding ng the Cougars on their initial possession, thee Chargers began a smart march downfield only to fumble at the Cougar gar 41. Holding the Cougars again, n, the Chargers took off for the Cougar goal al again ending the quarter scoreless with a two and 11 at the Cougar 18. On four and nd seven at the Cougar 14 Carlos Williams ms was marked down less than an eyelash h from the first down and the Chargers surrendered the ball with nothing to show ow for a 75-yard drive. The Cougars took over at their h own 7 and rove to mid-field keeping the drive alive with a Kale Gramling fake punt on fourth and 7 at the Cougar 43. Three plays later Carlos Williams picked off a Hunter Harden pass returning it to the Cougar 35. An illegal block backed the ball up to the Munford 49. After an offside penalty, Williams streaked to the Cougar 32 and on the next

play, he hit Shelton Lyons on a perfectly executed halfback pass in the right flat for a Charger TD, The PAT failed but CHS led 6-0 with 5:43 left in the half. Covington rolled the dice with an onside kick but did not recover setting up the Cougars at their 44. Mixing the pass and the run, the Cougars were in the end zone in eight plays with a Covington offside thrown in for good measure. The score came on a Harden to Derek Howell 14-yard strike in the t left corner of the end zone. Gramling’s PAT made it 7-6 with 2:20 before the half. ha The Chargers took the ball to open the second half but w were unable to sustain a drive punting to the Cougar 42. Munford proceeded on a clockwork like 10-play scoring drive driv capped by a 1-yard Hunter harden dive to pay dirt with har 5:08 left in the third period. Gramling’s Gramling’ kick extended the Cougar lead lea to 14-7. The Chargers’ next possession proved to be disaspossess trous. Unable to move, CHS set up to punt from their th own 41. The snap sailed over the punter’s head and he fell on it at a the Charger 2. Harden shortly had h a second 1yard TD for the Cougars and they had a 21-6 Cou lead after af threequarters. The Chargers opened the fourth quarter with a bang, taking takin the kick-off following the Cougar score and moving C downfield in 3 plays to the end down zone. zone Carlos Williams wound his way for 7 yards and 6 point to cut the Cougar p lead to 21-12. A 2-point conversion attempt was smothered with 11:23 on the clock. The Cougars came back on the ensuing possession taking only 2:19 to put up the final points of the night as Reggie Fleming twisted his way through CHS defenders for a 43-yard score and a 27-12 lead. The PAT was wide left. Saunders said the final run by Fleming, who finished with 117 yards on 24 carries, was they key play in the game. The Cougars’ starting tailback, Drew Weston,

was injured early in the game and did not return, which allowed Fleming to get the majority of the team’s carries. “I think he broke about six tackles on that play,” Saunders said, “and just took off down the sideline. That was huge for us.” Coach Marty Wheeler’s past-game assessment was that “ we did not play smart and take advantage of opportunities. We gave away two big chances in the 1st half. We got on the board in the second quarter and had a chance at the onside but didn’t execute. We played well in the firsthalf but in the second we played well on first and second down but couldn’t get off the field on third. I have to give credit to Munford. They played hard, like we did and they took advantage of their opportunities.” Wheeler continued, “ We are inexperienced and youthful, but we are playing with excitement and having fun for the first time since I’ve been back here and its great to see. Our issues are fixable. Some of the fix will come with experience. The

team is committed to improvement.” As for Dyersburg this Friday, Wheeler said,” The Trojans will play hard. They have some speed and can get to the outside. They can throw the ball well enough that we have to respect them. This is our first region game and it is on the road in a tough environment where they play well.” Kick-off for Covington @ Dyersburg is 7 p.m. Munford travels to Hardin County on Friday to open up region play. “We were 2-0 last year, but this team has a totally different mindset,” said Saunders. “We have a lot of young players who don’t know any better. They just know we’re 2-0 … I think we’re an allaround better team.”

TRA has hearbreaker at Halls By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com The Tipton-Rosemark Academy Rebels had a win in their sights Friday night in Halls, but it slipped away down the stretch. When Zac Hodgins scored on a fiveyard touchdown run midway through the third quarter, the Rebels led 20-6. But Halls’ Zach Harris scored on a one-yard run with 6:02 left in the game to secure a 21-20 win for the Tigers. The loss spoiled an impressive game by TRA quarterback Chance Sampson. He completed 15 of 22 passes for 217 yards, rushed for 72 more and accounted for two of TRA’s scores.

He gave TRA a 6-0 lead midway through the first quarter on a 19-yard touchdown run. With 8:56 left in the first half he hooked up with Hodgins on a 21-yard scoring strike. Hodgins, who caught five balls for 81 yards, ran for the two-point conversion to push TRA’s lead to 14-6. Keith Hamlin caught four passes for 42 yards for the Rebels. Ryan Payne caught one pass for 45 yards and Kyle Crook caught two for 35. Harris had a big game for Halls, passing for 216 yards and rushing for 66. TRA (0-2) opens up league play on Friday night at St. George’s.

MMS downs Crestview The Crestview Chargers and Munford Middle Eagles opened their seasons at Covington Athletic Field on August 24 with the Eagles taking the measure of the Chargers 32-18. There were fireworks from the get-go as CMS’ Sherrod Hale took the opening kick-off 78 yards to score giving CMS a 6-0 lead. The Eagles drove back down field to knot the game at 6. The Chargers were forced to punt but recovered a fumble. MMS held and mounted a 75-yard drive to take a 12-6 halftime lead. MMS’ Markeels James ran the opening kick-off of the 2nd half back for a TD to give the Eagles a 20-6 advantage. CMS did not fold scoring on the next possession on a 55-yard Dylan Black to Hale TD pass. The 2-point conversion was no good leaving the score at 20-12. MMS continued to pound out ground yardage getting another

TD from 8 yards out to lead 26-12. Hale scored again for CMS from 7 yards to cut the Munford lead to 26-18. Still in the 3rd period, the Eagles tacked on another score on a 30 yard run for the game’s final points and the 32-18 score. CMS’ Nick Childress had six solo tackles in the game while Bobby Shanks, K J Hines and Sherrod Hale had 5 tackles each. Shanks added an interception and Cody Otasowie had a sack. Hale had 209 allpurpose yards for the Chargers. Blaylack put up 93 passing yards. Said CMS head coach Chris Jacobs, “ We had our chances but didn’t take advantage of the opportunities. All in all, Munford was the better team. We have to work on being more disciplined in all aspects of the game.” CMS played at Fayette West on Aug. 31 and will play at Haywood on Sept. 7. Kickoff is at 6:30 pm for all games.

TRA golf strong this season By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com

The Tipton-Rosemark Academy boys’ and girls’ golf teams should find plenty of success on the course this season with a mix of strong upperclassmen and talented younger players. On the boys’ side, look for sophomore Colton Hall to lead the way. With a 37 stroke average on nine holes so far this season, Hall will be looking to qualify for the state tournament for a third straight season. He finished 21st as an eighth-grader and 18th last year. Already this season he has a sixth-place finish out of 132 players at

tournament in Hardin County. “We’ve got a very young golf team led by Colton that will look to improve as the year goes along,” said head coach Drew Womack. “Colton should contend for the regional championship and a third straight state tournament appearance.” The girl’s team, 16-12 this season, has much more experience with the return of seniors Jessica Rose and Emmy McQuiston and junior Autumn Cake. “We have a very good chance of qualifying for the state tournament as a team,” Womack said. “If Jessica and Emmy are both on their game the same day, they could win region.”

Covington and Munford battle it out on Friday night in a historic rivalry.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK

By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader

Brighton’s competition was much tougher on paper Friday night, playing Bartlett on the road after hosting Raleigh-Egypt in the season opener. But the result was basically the same: another blowout. Senior quarterback Danny Potter had another monster night in the air as Brighton jumped on the Panthers early and won going away, 47-13. The Cardinals (2-0) led 28-7 at the half and rested some starters in the fourth quarter, but still racked up 502 yards of total offense. Potter completed 23 of 33 passes for 319 yards and two touchdowns. The rushing game was equally effective with 183 yards. Antonio Dickerson, who scored on rushes of two and 10 yards in the first quarter, finished with four touchdowns and 113 yards on 14 carries. “I thought we played a lot better this week,” said Brighton head coach Will Wolfe. “But I told the guys we can’t get too

comfortable with that. We’ve still got some really good teams to play.” A three-yard touchdown run by Deandre Thompson late in the fourth quarter brought Bartlett (1-1) to within one touchdown, but it was all Brighton after that. Treyshun Gardner scored on a two-yard run later in the quarter and Tyler Ogden caught a two-yard scoring pass from Potter before halftime. A 49-yard touchdown pass from Potter to Greg Starks and two more short Dickerson touchdown runs rounded out the scoring. John Osborne had a big game receiving for Brighton with eight catches for 106 yards. Brighton hits the road again Friday night against Cordova, another challenging nonleague opponent. The Cardinals have one of the tougher non-league schedules in the area. “I think it’s good for us,” Wolfe said of the competition. “Jackson North Side, Dyer County and Hardin County are all in our region and ranked in the state. These games help us.”

Lady Cards fall to Ridgeway By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com The Brighton Lady Cardinal soccer team evened its record at 1-1 with a 3-2 loss to Ridgeway on Aug. 24. Brighton had beaten Wooddale, 8-0, to open the season on Aug. 23. “It was a physical contest with Ridgeway,” Coach Richard Vandergrift said. “We wanted our opponents to know that we were not going to be shoved around this year, that we could be just as physical in going for the ball as they were.” Brighton scored first in the game on a free kick by Hannah “Mo” Whitefoot that curled into the upper right corner of the net. The 35-yard kick came with 50 minutes having elapsed in the game. Ridgeway was able to tie the game in the 56th minute on a goal by Juliana Haravy. Eight minutes later, Brighton regained the lead when Megan Balentine knocked the ball past the Roadrunner keeper. Once again, Ridgeway would respond. They tied the game at 2-2 on a kick by Eliza Roberts. The game winner came at the 74-minute mark when Samantha Basar converted on a free kick opportunity that went off the fingertips of Brighton keeper Amy Janes.

“We have had some great games with Ridgeway and this year’s was no different,” Coach Vandergrift said. “They are in that group with White Station, Germantown, Houston and Collierville, so they have to play physical and with a sense of scoring. In the long run, this game will help us as we prepare for district play.” The Brighton Lady Cardinals opened the 2010 soccer season on Aug. 23 with an 8-0 win over Memphis Wooddale. Brighton scored four goals in each half to beat Wooddale. Taylor Stockstill, Chelsea Hirsch, Becky Marks and Terry Reyes had goals as the Lady Cardinals took control of the match early. Courtney Carpenter, Stockstill, Marks and Courtney Ashley had second half goals. Assists came from Carpenter (2), Shady Ross, Marks, Ashley and Marks. “It was nice to get out of the gate with a shutout win,” stated Coach Richard Vandergrift. “Getting to go against another team was good. It helped us see some things that need to be worked on if we are to be competitive the remainder of this year.” Brighton played Kingsbury on Monday, Raleigh-Egypt last night and hosts private school Sacred Heart of Jesus from Jackson on Friday. They will then be off until Sept. 9 when they travel to Memphis to play Wooddale.

Lady Cougars win three straight By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com Two weeks ago the Munford Lady Cougars’ soccer season got off to a tough start with a loss to Bolton. But since then things have been much better. Munford defeated Raleigh-Egypt last Tuesday, 11-0, and Craigmont last Thursday, 7-0. This past Tuesday Munford pushed its winning streak to three with a 5-0 win at home over Wooddale. Head coach Kyle Selby said he feels like his team has been playing much better of late. “We’re passing so well right now,”

Selby said. “The girls are starting to set each other up and they’re seeing how that works.” Against Wooddale, Brighton had 28 shots on goal, but managed to just push two past the keeper in the first half. The offense got going after halftime to take control of the game. The goals came from Maggie Billings, Sierra Campbell, Maggie Johnson, Brooke Joyce and Christin Smith. Jordan Hopkins, Smith and Joyce had one assist each. Munford (3-1) returns to action today at Millington. “The defense is playing really well right now,” said Selby. “Hopefully the defense will step up against Millington, which should be a tough game.”

In 1979, I started writing the newspaper column called “Wildlife Chatter”. I wrote a column every week until 2002, that is a lot of commas, periods, semi colons etc and, I enjoyed every minute. I wrote about guns, dogs, fishing poles, hunting seasons, atv, 4x4, decoys, boats and all the gear that goes with them but mostly I wrote about folks. Now, I have been invited back to try it one more time. To see if we can recapture the magic that comes with a cold frosty morning in a duck blind or deer stand. To relive the recognizable thrill of feeling the line go tight and setting the hook on Mr Bass, Slab Crappie or pan sized Bream. To call in ducks and geese that seem to be half way to Louisiana and put them down on your decoys. And, put it all on paper and back under the heading of “Wildlife Chatter”. I think I can. But I do know one thing for sure, I cannot do it without your help. If you are a hunter, fisherman, trapper, shooter, dog trainer or just like the outdoors then the “Wildlife Chatter” Column will belong to you and me. We will do this column, together. If you have caught a fish, bagged a deer, turkey, rabbit, squirrel or other and you can catch me in the outdoors, I will have a camera close by to take your picture and a notebook to jot down the details. Or, if we miss each other, bring it to the office and we will be glad to take your picture and hear the tactics that enabled you to bag that critter.

Depending on the squirrel crop, we can probably get some success rates and pictures of squirrel hunters for the first column and for the dove hunters we can post a web site where they can find TWRA dove fields and leased dove fields, it will not only list fields for opening day but also follow up with future hunts. If you are looking for a place to dove hunt the web site is a good place to start. Go to http://www.state.tn.us/twra/ dovefields.1.htm.
