Five perish in Atoka house fire

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com

ATOKA – Five people - including an infant and a toddler - are dead following an overnight blaze on Tipton Street, police and fire officials said Tuesday.

Dispatched at 2:38 a.m., police and more than two dozen firefighters responded to fight the fire and rescue residents. Two boys, ages 12 and 6, escaped.

“We combined our forces and tried to save them,” said Munford/Atoka Fire Chief J.R. Bonson. “The fire was already 50-75 percent involved by the time we arrived.”

Inside the home were 31-year-old Desiree Mary Vinas Byrd, her 28-year-old boyfriend Chris Akins, Akins’ mother Sharon Hasana and four children: Devon Byrd, 12; Andon Byrd, 6; Rylan Vinas, 2; and Jaylan Vinas, an infant.

Bonson said Devon woke to

the sound of one of his sisters crying, broke a window out and led his younger brother to a neighbor’s house. It was there the 911 call was made.

Witnesses say neighbors tried to help rescue Desiree Byrd, but she returned to the flames to rescue her daughters.

“She was recovered by emergency crews in the girls’ bedroom,” said Atoka Police Chief Jessie Poole at a Tuesday afternoon press conference.

“Attempts to resuscitate her failed.”

Byrd’s daughters, boyfriend and his mother all perished in the fire.

Andon escaped without injury. Devon suffered several lacerations and was treated and released to the custody of his grandparents.

The brothers are the sons of Brandon Byrd, a Tipton County man who became a quadriplegic after a trampoline accident six years ago.

Byrd has recently made headlines because he lost his TennCare benefits in spite of his disability.

Neighbors say the family was quiet and kept to themselves.

“They’re nice people, they weren’t loud,” said Rick Cantrell. “You could always hear the kids playing in the pool. They were always grilling out and laughing and carrying on.”

Brighton Bank celebrates centennial

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com A fixture in the county since before the first world war, Brighton Bank will celebrate its centennial anniversary next week with a reception.

It all began in 1909, when shares were sold to interested parties for $50 each. An original document drawn up on Brighton High School letterhead on Dec. 4, 1909 shows 32 people purchased up to 10 shares each.

With $10,000 capital, Brighton Savings Bank opened its doors on Oct. 10, 1910 on Main Street.

Marvin “Earl” Hill was the bank’s first cashier and for five years was its only employee. It was governed under laws of the state by a board of directors consisting of J.C. Chisolm, Joe Trotter, M.E. Hill, C.G. Strong and R.B. DeWese.

Hill also served as executive vice president. R.F. Miller was president and R.B. DeWese was vice president.

According to archives from The Leader, Commercial Appeal and Memphis Press-Scimitar, during the depression, Brighton Savings Bank was the only one of the smaller banks in the county able to remain open. At the time of his retirement, Hill told reporters he worked for three months without pay during the depression.

In 1954, construction began on a modern facility in the heart of Brighton, next to Well Grocery.

Newspaper reports tout the building as one of the most up-to-date

BRIGHTON – A domestic dispute turned fatal this weekend, leaving one woman dead and her fiancé charged with her murder.

Officials say after an argument Saturday night, 56-year-old Dottie Jeanette Reed lied unconscious for an estimated 24 hours before her fiancé called police.

“We think the injuries occurred on Saturday, even though he called at approximately 7 p.m. Sunday,” said Tipton County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Donna Turner.

According to police reports, BROOKS deputies responded to the couple’s Joe Reed Drive residence after James Eldridge Brooks, Jr. contacted dispatchers regarding an alleged home invasion.

Brooks initially told police he and Reed had been assaulted by two unknown subjects and when he regained consciousness, he called for help.

Turner said while investigating Brooks’ claims, detectives noticed some discrepancies between his stories and the evidence at the scene.

“There were inconsistencies with the evidence the detectives saw at the crime scene as well as the information he was providing,” she said. “Those inconsistencies turned out to be true.”

small banking buildings in West Tennessee at the time.

The fireproof building, which now houses City Hall, boasted central heat and air conditioning, acoustical ceiling tiles to deaden noise and fluorescent lighting. It also included a larger vault and space for safe deposit boxes. The exterior consisted of light brown brick with a trim of cut stone around the top and porcelain letters across two sides.

The bank moved into its new home in 1955. Three years later, and after 15 years as the bank’s president, Hill retired. He spent 47 years with Brighton Savings Bank.

Hill was succeeded as president by Neil D. Tinkler, a farm-

er and one of the bank’s directors. When Tinkler died in 1977, Milton Simonton was appointed president. Other presidents have included Mitchell R. Higdon, Polly D. Jones, Jim Wyatt, Will Griffin, Frankie Pratt and current president Brad Hailey.

Thirty years ago, in October 1980, the majority of the shares of stock was purchased by Brighton Bancshares, Inc. and its name was changed to Brighton Bank in January 1981. It was again sold in December 1985, this time to Brighton Bancorp, Inc. with William N. Griffin the major stockholder.

Griffin remains the bank’s major stockholder.

BANK

Continued from A1 The bank, which is the oldest community bank in Tipton County, has grown significantly since its humble beginnings on Main Street.

In 1996, the bank was relocated from downtown Brighton to its current facility at Highway 51 and Kenwood Avenue. Additionally, there are now branches in Covington, Rosemark and Memphis.

“It’s probably grown the most since William Griffin bought it in 1985,” Hailey said.

Compared to its $10,000 in capital a century ago, the bank now boasts $75 million in assets (assets were reportedly $10 million in 1985 and $18 million in 1991).

The industry has changed drastically since the bank’s beginnings, said executive vice president Donna Downing.

When it began, the bank was agriculturalbased, with the majority of its lending for crops, livestock and land. These days the majority of financing is for commercial and residential real estate, vehicles, secondary and post-secondary education and other con-

it’s an accident, it’s just a tragic accident,” said Bonson.

Officials said it was the deadliest fire they’d seen in the area. It is the most deadly fire in recent history.

Additionally, investigators have yet to recover working smoke detectors, Bonson said.

Firefighters arrived at the scene at 2:48 a.m., 10 minutes after the 911 call was made. By the time they arrived, Bonson said the house was nearly gone.

“Mobile homes tend to burn easier, faster than conventional homes.

There was nothing that could have been done.”

Firefighters and other emergency workers will undergo debriefing, he said.

“We’re very devastated. Our job is to save lives and when we’re unable to do that, it’s very difficult for us.”

A fund has been set up for the families at First South Bank. To donate, visit any branch.

Donations may be made to the American Red Cross.

Additionally, a benefit is planned for the Byrd family from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 2 at Heritage Cafe in Munford.

sumer-related needs.

Gone are the days when tellers had to write out daily balance reports and keep track of rations, personally and physically file checks, type on typewriters and send statements only when ledger cards were full.

In 1979, there was no such thing as online and mobile banking, debit cards or even account numbers.

“We didn’t have account numbers back then,” she said. “When I first started, we physically posted everyone’s checks to their ledger. We knew everyone who had an account with us and we knew everyone’s signature.”

Checks are now processed as image files and easily accessed by both bank personnel and account holders, each employee has his or her own computer and statements are sent out monthly.

When Downing began working at the bank 31 years ago, the first drivethru window had just been installed.

“We went from everything being on paper to nothing being on paper,” Downing said. “I remember when we got the first PC – that thing was huge! It’s amazing what

modern technology has done.”

And though many things have changed, some have remained the same.

“We’ve stuck to the same principles that were around in 1910,” Hailey said.

Downing said the size of the bank is an asset for customers.

“We’re still customerbased and because we’re a small, community bank, we’re able to meet the special needs of our customers.”

As for the next 100 years, Downing and 30-year employee Debbie Griffin say they can’t envision the possibilities.

“There’s so much electronic stuff now, it’s unimaginable what might happen,” Griffin said.

If the last 100 years are any indication, Brighton Bank will have a bright future serving its customers from the heart of Tipton County.

In honor of the bank’s centennial celebration, a reception will be held on Friday, Oct. 8 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at its Brighton branch. The public is invited to attend and enjoy refreshments, prizes and visit with old friends.

Continued from A1 of time he was reportedly at football practice.

Additionally, the student received payment for work not performed at Brighton Elementary School over 24 pay periods from May 15, 2008 through May 15, 2009.

Both the student and the supervisor reportedly admitted to the comptroller’s office in written statements that the student never worked at BES. The supervisor admitted to falsifying the payroll records sent to the business office.

After learning of the prior payroll irregularities, the school board withheld the student’s final two paychecks totaling $663.56 for the periods ending July 31, 2010 and August 13, 2010.

But it doesn’t end there.

Dr. Tim Fite, Tipton County’s director of schools, said an internal investigation revealed the embezzlement dates back several years.

“Initially we didn’t think it was as big as it was,” he said. “As things evolved, we were piecing things together and they didn’t fit.”

This is when, Fite said, the school board asked the state comptroller’s office to get involved.

“I never thought she would have done something like this,” Fite said.

“But when these things come up, you have a responsibility to report them.”

Auditors also learned

We still don’t know where the money went.

- Dr. Tim Fite the former supervisor paid another employee at Munford Elementary School more than $22,000 over a period of time that lasted more than three years, even though interviews with the site supervisor and other employees at the school suggested the employee only worked there sporadically for a few weeks.

This individual was hired on Aug. 19, 2002 for employment at MES and other employees told auditors she worked there part-time for a few weeks in the beginning.

They also stated she was rarely there during most of the time period, often coming in late and leaving early.

The supervisor also reportedly admitted to auditors falsifying these records. She told auditors the individual, who is her niece, worked there for approximately two months in the beginning, however auditors could not determine the reliability of the payroll records.

Records, they say, indicate this individual received 80 payroll checks from Sept. 13, 2002 through Jan. 31, 2006, totaling $22,278.75.

The individual reported to auditors in a written statement the payments were improper and that the SACC supervisor had submitted them to the business office.

Fite said it seemed as if the supervisor falsified the records in transit, after they’d been signed off by the school’s site director.

The comptroller’s office said due to the written statements and the lack of reliable documentation, the entire payroll amount is in question.

“This type of activity cannot be tolerated,” said Comptroller Justin P. Wilson. “I commend the Tipton County School System for identifying the misuse of public funds and calling it to our attention.

And I would like to commend our auditors for the follow-up work they did on the investigation.

Our office remains committed to finding fraud, waste and abuse of taxpayer money throughout the state.”

These three individuals have not been identified by the comptroller’s office because the former student is a minor, however The Leader has been informed all three are related. The supervisor is the aunt to the individual who reportedly worked at MES; this individual is the mother of the student.

The supervisor retired from the school system on June 30, 2010 and is currently receiving retirement benefits. She was employed with the school system for more

than 35 years and was a teacher prior to becoming the SACC supervisor.

None of the individuals in question is currently employed with the school system.

Dr. Fite said the supervisor has met with auditor Marvin Bond and school board member Rickey Fayne more than once since the investiga-

tion. The board has asked for immediate restitution, but the former supervisor has yet to return the misused funds.

The case has been turned over to the office of the district attorney.

Fite said he hopes to see an indictment.

“I certainly think there’s been some embezzlement,” he said. “We still don’t know where the money went.”

DEATH

Continued from A1 While canvassing the area, neighbors told detectives a pick-up truck matching the description of the one driven

by Brooks had been seen driving at a high rate of speed from the residence, leaving skidmarks in the roadway.

Detectives believed the marks to be consistent with Brooks leaving the residence after an argument with Reed.

He later admitted his role in her death, Turner said.

“He recanted and did admit there was no home invasion,” she said. “He confirmed there was an argument that happened Saturday evening with her.”

Turner said during the argument, Reed allegedly tried to leave the home and Brooks stopped her and brought her back into the residence by pulling her by the hair.

When police arrived on Sunday, they found Reed had suffered injuries to the head, multiple bruising over her body and was unconscious.

She was immediately transported to Baptist Memorial HospitalTipton, then airlifted to

The Regional Medical Center (The MED) in critical condition.

Reed died Monday, Sept. 27 at The MED. An autopsy has been requested.

Brooks, Jr. was formally charged Tuesday with first degree murder and filing a false police report in Tipton County General Sessions Court.

He is being held for active warrants in Shelby County.

“I commend the hard work in this case by the detectives and TBI,” said Special Agent Valerie Troutt. “The detectives quickly saw through the false reporting and determined who was responsible in this murder. In this case domestic violence was apparent and so many times goes unreported by the

victim’s and their families. If you are in an abusive domestic situation, there are resources we can make available. A phone call to report suspected domestic abuse could break the chain of violence.”

Days like Tuesday

I hate days like Tuesday.

I got breaking news via text message at 6:17 a.m. It was expected, but it was going to be a busy workday and big news. I couldn’t figure out what I wanted to wear and my house was a mess, which is stressful.

One of my children was having a meltdown over toaster streudels. We got in the truck five minutes after I’d wanted to leave. Everything was stressing me out and I couldn’t wait to get to work so I could have some coffee.

As we pulled out of the driveway, another text.

This time, even bigger news.

Five people died overnight in a fire. Huge news.

Suddenly my day got insanely busier. But busy I don’t mind.

It’s a challenge and I rarely back down from challenges (unless they involve math). I went to my morning meeting and then to the scene, doing what I needed to do.

I got a kick out of the fact that OFF THE RECORD ECHO DAY I was wearing heels and tromping through brush and thorns and trees to get photos of the house and then the men followed me, like they hadn’t thought of it, like this girl with the shiny black pumps actually had a great idea.

It made me laugh.

But I hate days like Tuesday.

Two children died in that fire. One was not yet a year old, the other would have turned three Wednesday. Their mother, father and grandmother also died. They have two brothers – 12 and 6 – who escaped the fiery, smoky home, ran through the trees to a neighbor’s house and called 911. The girls’ mother tried to save them and in doing so, lost her life.

Then there was the domestic abuse victim, a 56-year-old woman who died after allegedly being assaulted by her fiancé. A senseless, preventable murder.

And I hate days like Tuesday because days like Tuesday require me to go back to work, to sit at my desk like it was a normal day, to write an incredibly tragic story that will become recorded history. I hate days like Tuesday because they remind me of the responsibility I have and they remind me that I’m human.

In three-and-a-half years, I’ve covered more than my share of murders, accidental deaths, children dying, fires, child abuse, sexual abuse and other tragedies. I’ve sat in a courtroom and bawled while listening to dashcam video of a trooper being murdered. I’ve watched a great aunt in hysterics the day her husband accidentally ran over their grandnephew with a tractor. I’ve heard stories of injuries children have suffered at the hands of their parents.

And it never gets easier.

It’s no secret I wear my emotions on my sleeve. I wear others’ emotions as well. When I do these stories, they affect me. I mourn, I grieve, I cry. Maybe it’s because I’m a girl and perpetually hormonal or maybe it’s compassion.

I hate days like Tuesday because they remind me that life is fragile, that it can be over in an instant and that sometimes we don’t respect life and death enough. For some people, life and death is job security. For people in my field, this is so. Days like Tuesday are examples of how easy it is for a heart to grow hard, how easy it is to become desensitized.

I don’t want to become that person. When days like Tuesday happen, I don’t want to just do my job. I want to be a human being, to feel the pain, to feel the loss, to be compassionate.

Tuesday I decided not to follow the Memphis media to the house of the boys’ father. Sure, I could have gone. I could have added quotes from the 12-year-old to my story and hit it out of the park.

But my focus isn’t primarily on my job on days like Tuesday. My focus is on the family, the victims, the survivors, the emergency personnel who responded to the scene and the medical staff who tended to the victims in the hospital.

Living here has taught me to be a good neighbor, to be a friend, to think of others before myself. Though it makes a great story, quotes from 12-year-old survivors aren’t what’s important on days like Tuesday.

Families deserve their privacy while they mourn.

On days like Tuesday I remember that compassion lasts longer and is more meaningful than circulation and ratings.

And that’s why I love days like Tuesday: because I am humbled and I am challenged not only to tromp around in heels, but also to remember what is most important about life, love and the decency of the human spirit.

Day in the Park to be held Saturday

By KEN ARMBRISTER Special to The Leader ATOKA – Festival season is still in full-swing in Tipton County and this weekend Atoka will also be celebrating with its Festival in the Park.

Saturday, Tipton County American Legion Post 67 will host the event, which is its eleventh annual military vehicle rally and swap meet and second annual Car, Truck, Motorcycle, Tractor, and Military Vehicle Show. Also highlighted at the festival will be battle re-enactments, food and craft vendors, and horse-drawn wagon rides.

Vendors will also be selling and displaying military memorabilia and surplus items.

Organizers said the event is

working to build on last years’ successful festival.

“We had about 4,000 visitors last year,” said Al Lightfoot, Commander of American Legion Post 67, “and we hope to see a significant increase in that number this year as well as a larger field of participants in the vehicle show.”

The vehicle show is one of the highlights of the festival as eventgoers get to select and vote on their favorites. Awards will be given out to the top three peoples’ choices in each category.

Bob McFarland, owner of the Mid-South Military Museum, said the military vehicles on display will be from World War II, Korea and the Vietnam War. Organizers also noted that the event will include benefit information for veterans and their families

from the staff of the Memphis Veterans Center.

With the event coinciding with the Covington BBQ festival scheduled for this weekend, organizers are hoping the allure of small town charm in Tipton County will bring in plenty of event-goers to Nancy Lane Park on Saturday.

“People can come and go,” said McFarland. “That’s one thing about the small ones, they’re a lot nicer than the large ones like the Mid-South Fair. Being in a small town adds flavor, character.”

Admission and parking for the event are free. To enter a vehicle in the show is $5 on the day of the show. If you would like to have a booth at the show, please call for more information.

For information, please call Al Lightfoot at 901-837-8039.

Debating to debate

By TIFFANY HOLLAND tholland@covingtonleader.com In spite of the desire of many constituents it seems Republican candidate for the 8th Congressional District Stephen Fincher will not be debating Democratic nominee Roy Herron - even though the seat has not been seriously contested since 1988.

According to press releases from the Herron campaign and other news outlets, Herron has challenged Fincher to debate in Martin and on WREG in Dyersburg and at the Memphis Rotary Club but Fincher has not accepted any of these invitations.

Fincher is taking part in a “debate” at Union University in Jackson, Tenn. This will feature all four District 8 candidates that also include independents Mark Rawles of Jackson and Donn Janes of Brighton, both of whom are backed by the TEA party.

However, this “debate” has the candidates speaking at different times to the audience and not directly debating each other.

According to The Commercial Appeal and The Jackson Sun, Fincher’s campaign spokesman Paul Ciaramitaro issued a statement two weeks ago that Fincher refuses to take part in a debate due to the negativity of the Herron

campaign.

“Stephen is not going to debate a man whose campaign commercials are filled with blatant lies that nonpartisan groups have already rejected,” said Ciarmitaro.

In all probability, this statement was in reaction to a letter Covington attorney and former state Democratic Party chairman Houston Gordon wrote to U.S. Attorney Edward L. Stanton last month that suggested that campaign finance laws have been violated in the Fincher camp.

“Everybody ought to play by the same rules,” said Gordon. “No one can hide. People have a right to know the truth.”

Last Friday, these accusations were brought to attention to again when current 8th District Congressman John Tanner spoke out against Fincher and urged him to address possible mishaps in his financial situation in The Commercial Appeal. Tanner, a Democrat, who has been in Congress for 11 terms, said the voters deserve a debate between the candidates since it has not been seriously contested since 1988 and the Republicans are making a huge move to take over Congress.

Fincher has called the accusations false and part of a smear campaign, but he has not addressed them directly, or attempted to dis-

prove them.

The Mid-South TEA Party organization, which is supporting independent Donn Janes, expressed its displeasure with Fincher’s decline for debate in a press release.

The Democratic nominee, Tenn. State Senator Roy Herron, has accepted the challenge. He seems eager to position himself as equally conservative as Fincher.

Meanwhile, a conservative independent candidate Donn Janes was not invited. Janes has already shown a willingness to fight for the principles conservatives espouse,” stated the TEA Party in its release. “The Mid South TEA Party respectfully requests WREGTV to include. Janes and proceed with the debate in Dyersburg as planned. This debate should take place regardless of whether Stephen Fincher participates or not. “ Fincher, who was at last week’s Heritage Day, will also be in town for several other upcoming events to meet with potential voters in the county. Herron will be at the Tipton County Public Library on Tuesday, Oct. 5 to discuss his book “God and Politics” and to greet people. The election will be on Nov. 2 with early voting beginning on Oct. 13-28.

Bill Haslam visits Covington

By TIFFANY HOLLAND tholland@covingtonleader.com

Knoxville Mayor and gubernatorial candidate Bill Haslam visited Tipton County on Wednesday, Sept. 22 to speak with citizens, businesses and law enforcement officials about the future of Tennessee.

He first met with county law enforcement officials at the Justice Center where they had a chance to speak to him with issues they have to deal with on a local level. Present was Sheriff J.T. “Pancho” Chumley, Chief Deputy Billy Dougherty, city police chiefs and several other local law enforcement officers.

Many of them were able to wage complaints with the Haslam, the man who could be the next governor.

Covington Police Chief Bennie Carver urged for “stiffer laws on juveniles” to the mayor. Chief Deputy Dougherty brought up issues Tipton County has had with unfunded mandates from the state and the costs associated with inmate healthcare and mental health facilities.

Atoka Police Chief Jesse Poole expressed interest in the state having harsher laws for parole violators.

Mayor Haslam spent most of the time listening to what the officials had to say and was there so he could understand many of the problems the state faces in the law enforcement arena. He did get a few words in the meeting where he expressed the importance of local police departments.

“The most effective form of government is the one closest to them.

The same is with (law

enforcement). And I am proud of our Knoxville Police Department,” said Haslam. “I am just here to try to get an idea of what you need from the state government.”

After the meeting, Haslam headed to the Hydratrek company in Covington to tour the grounds of the new and burgeoning local business and speak with the workers.

Haslam is running for governor against Mike McWherter, a Jackson business owner and son of former Governor Ned McWherter. Both candidates will be visiting Tipton County in the next few months to meet with voters. The election will be held on Nov. 2.

If all else fails...

As I was driving down the highway, I passed this sign: “If all else fails, ask God.” I thought to myself that is exactly what we do. We, as a people, first try to fix things ourselves. If that does not work, reluctantly we may ask the help or advice of some close confidant because we do not want the world to know that 1) we have troubles and 2) we do not have a clue how to fix them. If this fails, we may seek “professional” help. So often these professionals are not religious folks. Many do not even believe in God, much less follow Him, and their counsel is not based on Biblical principles but on my rights, what I want, what’s best for me, with little or no consideration as to what God wants and what is right and how others in my life will be affected. How many have been given counsel by such professionals to end a pregnancy or a marriage and irreparably change lives forever? I am not saying that any of the above approaches to our problems are necessarily wrong or should never be used but I do question the priority we give them in solving our problems.

Our last resort to get our life back is God. When we get to the end of our rope, we are finally driven to our knees. We go to God in prayer.

When we have tried everything else and have exhausted every humanly possible solution, then and only then do we allow God into the picture. By the time we get God involved, the problem has become unmanageable like a snowball rolling down hill. Why not ask God first, not last? We ask where can I go other than the Lord to solve life’s problems, but the song in our hymnal has it right and the title says it all, “Where Could I Go But To The Lord?” God and only God has the answer to all our problems. And why shouldn’t He? After all, He made us and unlike any of the rest of creation, we and we alone are created in His image. (Gen 1:26-27) And what about His Son who came to this earth to show us how it’s

Delivery & Installation

done? 1Pe 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps.

Heb 2: 18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succor them that are tempted. Heb 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Heb 5:2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity. Heb 5:8-9 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him. Heb 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

What we call the parable of the prodigal son is a classic example of how we also conduct our lives. The son comes to the Father telling the Father what he is going to do and telling the father what the Father is going to do. Give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. Luke 15:12 We do the same thing. We do not ask God’s guidance in our lives. We like the lost son do what we want to do without asking Him, without consulting Him for wisdom in doing what’s best (James 1:5) and with no regard for what He wants. The son left his Father and “took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living” (Luke 15:13), oblivious to the fact that he was already in trouble and had been the moment he left his Father. We, too, so often leave the Father and do not realize that we already are in trouble because for a time, maybe months, years, and sometimes lifetimes, things are going “good” for us because we are enjoying life. We forget that the pleasures of sin are only for a season. (Heb. 11:25)

Then the young man’s world came crashing down around him. Luke 15:14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.

(How could everything have been so good for him and now his world be turned upside down?) We are like this young man led down the primrose by the devil and his angels unaware that anything is amiss until the devil pulls the rug from beneath our feet and we are helplessly and hopelessly caught in his trap.

The young man could only find employment as a feeder of the swine.

His hunger was so severe that we would have “filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.” (Luke 15:16) Then and only then did he come to recognize his deplorable condition.

It was not until he hit rock bottom with no where to turn and no one to turn to that his thoughts turned to the Father. He remembered (and looked to) the father “when he came to himself” Luke 12:17 Regretfully, we are the same way. It takes a jolt such as a diagnosis of cancer, the death of a loved one, a financial catastrophe such as the loss of a job or a home or some other tragedy of life to make us seek God. The young man’s story has a happy ending. He repents, changes his mind and his life’s direction by his going back home to the Father with his hat in his hand asking to be taken back on any terms. He admits to himself and the Father that he has sinned. The Father receives him back not as a servant, but as a son.

He will do the same for us. Jas 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

Let’s save ourselves some heartache.

Seek God first, not last! (Matthew 6:33, Isaiah 55:6)

Mabel Smith • 837-8017 Dear Readers, The week before last, we ran out of ink for the fax machine. Then, last week I was in the hospital after a hard fall. I messed up my head, face and broke my left arm. I spent three days in the hospital then came home to rest up. I have a granddaughter to stay with me at night because I could not get up by myself.

Needless to say after several visits to the doctor and x-rays, I am better—not well—but better.

So now I am busy trying to catch up with news, etc.

First Baptist Church of Atoka has a busy week. Friday, Oct. 1, Jolly Christmas Fellowship at Betty Mills'

Burlison Eddie Kellum

Hello from Burlison.

This past weekend was very emotional. I don’t talk about death in my articles and I’m not going to start now but Saturday was sad. On Sunday, we visited Adam at Cookeville. We went to lunch and then Adam showed us around his campus. It was a fun time but after about three hours, we had to leave for home.

Shanna was with us and she had a return drive to Ole Miss from Burlison. I wish I could have bought Adam back with me. “I MISS HIM”.

The weather is starting to change. You can feel autumn in the air.

I heard a guy on the radio this week say that we will probably be pulling out our winter coats in another week or so and if this year is like most, he’ll be right. The cool morning air reaches out and talks to those of us

that hunt or in my case used to hunt. I can’t really describe it but it’s almost like it’s tugging at you. You can’t wait to get alone in the woods and listen to nature. If you see game or kill game, that’s an added bonus.

The November elections will be here soon.

Have you decided who you’re voting for yet? If not here is a suggestion for the next four weeks check out the people that are running. In today’s world with the computers you can find out almost anything you want to know about anybody and if you don’t have a computer I bet you know someone who does.

Oh by the way, another one of those BIG cats “panthers”, you know the ones that don’t exist around here, has been spotted. I can’t divulge how I know this, but I can tell you that the sighting was close. I don’t understand why our game officials still will not admit

Please remember the family of Plummer Earl Wilson who was buried on Monday.

Don't forget to pray that I get better and stronger!

that these animals are here, have always been here and probably always will be here. Sometimes the ones that are seen are light brown in color and others are black as night.

The one that I personally saw was black, long, low to the ground, high in the hind quarters and the tail was as long again as the body. I always wanted to see one and in a split second it was gone. I’d love to hear one. People say they sound like a screaming woman. Wouldn’t that make the hair on your neck stand up?

That reminds me of a time when I was young and my brother John Wayne, myself and three or four cousins camped for the night. Sometime in the early morning hours we heard a noise around our camp. My brother, who was old enough to drive, decided that we should get in his car and drive until the sun came up. The rest of us were more than will-

for a long time. Why had this old gun barrel never been found before? I asked myself this ques-

ing to do that. On returning to camp we could see that something or someone had been circling our camp because the dew was not on the grass in their path. To this day we still don’t know what or who it may have been.

In the path that had been walked we found a shot gun barrel. It was very old, was a double barrel and appeared to be off a black power shot gun. This place had been tilled for farming and had also pastured cows

tion many times over the years and I still don’t have an answer.

Kathy Keiter • 476-7014 Hello everyone! My goodness, time flies when you’re havin’ fun! And we’ve all been having fun outside this week enjoying the nice weather! Everybody has been outside! This is one of those times of the year that there’s no excuse for not wanting to be outside!

Hasn’t it been fantastic out there? Oh boy, fall is in the air!

I sure hope you’re all planning to come to our “Fall Fish Fry” on Saturday evening the 9th of October!

It’s all gona start at 5 p.m. and we’ll be eating some good ole’ fish and hushpuppies, French fries and cold slaw, sweet tea and some homemade cookies! We’ll even have some hot dogs cooked for those little ones that don’t care for fish! First Baptist Church in Covington is once again hosting our fall fundraiser, proceeds going to Dunlap Retirement Center, for as most of you know we are a non-profit home for the aged. For so many years the community has been so very gracious to

us by helping us raise funds to continue our mission her at Dunlap. We’ve been here since 1983 and plan on being here another 27 years plus “if the Lord is willing”.

This is one of the topics we have been studying in our Sunday school out of the book of James. We all say we’re gona do this and that and fully expect to do it, but sometimes the Lord has other plans for us. James says we should say “if the Lord wills, we will do this or that”. Boy that gets me in trouble sometimes! But this year, if it is cold like it was last year, the church has said we can go inside and eat and listen to our gospel singers! We about froze last year didn’t we? But something tells me we’re not going to have to worry about it being too cold this year!

Now granted, it’s a long time between now and the 9th of October, it may be snowing by then, “only the Lord knows”!

I’m so excited because again this year we will be having “Victory Sounds” coming back and setting up our sound and leading us in worship, we will also be welcoming back “New

Spirit” and Alan Guess and Walter Blalack. We would be having the whole crew of “Three for Thee” but the third party of their group had a prior commitment to become “Elvis” at the Emmaus Weekend and will not CONTINUED ON PAGE B6

Hi everyone, Wow! These cooler temperatures have been a dream come true. I have actually begun wearing my long sleeve turtleneck sweaters.

Now the leaves are truly beginning to show some fall colors – besides all the dead ones on the ground from the drought. We have not turned any heat on yet and probably won’t for a while.

That might happen when we get a little closer to the lower 40s.

Byars-Hall High School The girls of the class of 1970 would like to invite girls from the classes of the late 60s to the early 70s to a “Wildcat Gathering” on Saturday, Oct. 9 from 10 a.m.

– 12:30 p.m. at the Tipton County Museum located at 751 Bert Johnston Ave. Come reminisce with us.

Hope to see you there.

Three Star Fire Dept.

There will be a grilled chicken dinner this Saturday, Oct. 2 from 4:30 -7 p.m. Please come show your support.

The food is always excellent.

Well, I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned that my grandson, Matt Scott, is playing fall baseball for the Memphis Tigers. Way to go buddy. We are so proud of you! In the Brighton and Almyra area, a male Siberi-

Elaine Watkins • 476-7093 It's just great outside; fall arrived last week with temps in the high 90s but over the weekend two cold fronts came through and it's been in the 50s at night and 70s in the daytime ever since. About 80 today and it's my birthday!

Debbie Otts is taking me out for lunch and the family is going for Japanese food tonight. Eating with my dad, Kenneth Weir, tomorrow at lunch.

This week's Farm Report: No rain again. Been three or four weeks now.

The soybeans have done what they're going to do. If it rains now they may just weigh a little more because of moisture content. A little disappointing this year, after it looked so good till it quit raining!

We've had a little break, after getting several fields of early beans cut. We may get back in today. It won't seem so bad finishing up now, since we had a couple of weeks' break in there.

I had a dentist appointment last Tuesday and didn't get my column done. Monday night I do it sometimes but I had to watch "Hawaii Five-0", so . . . Thanks to all of you who missed it.

I got my dental surgery done, a new crown and the stitches taken out since I've written. All through with that. Had to have a new retainer on the bottom but I just wear it at night. Gotta keep these teeth straight after I went through all that with the braces!

I took Clint's truck to Dyersburg last Thursday to get his oil changed (free at the dealership) and I got a van to drive to the mall. I had a big time. I'm sure I overrode the free oil change!

I got the closets switched out on Friday - summer clothes out, long sleeves in. That's a job! There will be a yard sale Saturday at Woodale Subdivision, just past Turner Dairy Road off Bride and if Elizabeth joins in I will have a lot of clothes in it!

James and I visited with

an husky was found. Please email scott1287@bellsouth. net for further information.

The Munford High School 20 year reunion went off very well this past weekend. I went down to help the girls decorate. It was so much fun. It brought back a lot of fun memories. My girls, Terri Barber and Sherri Kidd, along with Jaime Justice, Kathy Starnes, Becky Rogers, Amy Holland, Gwen Isles and Tonya Kenny did an excellent job. The room was beautiful. Even the lady in charge of the building said she had never seen the room so beautifully decorated. Their theme was a masquerade party. Much of the displays were from my sister’s business, HICKS Convention Services. They rent out things reflecting the New Orleans Mardi Gras.

Oh and by the way, my girls were able to find dresses so similar and have their hair identically styled so that no one could tell the apart. Just like the good old days. What made it worse was that their husbands, David and Jerry Wayne played tricks and sat beside the wrong wife. Fun Fun! Heritage Day came and went. The weather made it a terrific day for an event.

I hung out in the “We the People” tent. Our mission is to promote and defend the great American principle of sounds money, constitutional, and small government, free markets, individual liberty and noninterventionist foreign policy by

means of education and political activity. We meet the third Tuesday night of each month at the Chamber of Commerce in Covington.

Please come! I was also able to spend time in Jim Hardin’s tent. He is challenging Jimmy Naifeh.

Frances Slover for a few minutes Saturday and took her some greens. She looks great and we talked and laughed and hugged.

My sincere sympathy goes to the Cromwell family in Chad's death. Also to the Cooley family in their loss and so many others that have been in The Leader recently. So many.

Roy Randolph is having treatments and Kenneth Mason is slated for surgery.

Al Chaney had tests and got good results. Hope Collins fell and has broken bones, as does Jane Petree, who is in a Memphis hospital with a broken thigh bone. There are so many that would covet your prayers.

Happy birthday for two weeks to Hope Collins on Sept. 20, to Shirley Cook on the 21st, to Michelle Laxton, Brandon Matlock and Lisa Pinner on the 22nd, to Luke McMahan on the 23rd, to Kathy McMahan on the 24th, to Neil Stanley on the 25th, to me today and to Jane Petree and Savannah Gatlin on the 29th! I'll go ahead into October and say Happy Birthday to Ed Fleming on the 1st and to Clint Watkins on the 6th. Also on the 6th, Happy Birthday to Mary Gaither and Happy Birthday to Otis Griffin on the 7th.

Also Happy birthday today to my "cuz" Ellen Tatlock Weedman! Love ya!

Congratulations to the Nance family on the birth of a grandson, Thomas Wilson!

He was born to Zachary and Stacy Nance on Sept. 17 and grandparents are David and Ladonna. Proud aunt is Rachel and proud greatgrandparents are Lawrence and Barbara Coulston.

And this from Mary Kate Huffman, delivered to me by Bonnie Glass: "The girls of the Byars-Hall High School Class of 1970 invite any girl from the classes from the late ‘60s to early ‘70s to a 'Wildcat Gathering' on Saturday, Oct. 9 from 10 a.m. till 12:30 p.m. at the Tipton County Museum, 751 Bert Johnston Avenue.

South Tipton Connection September students of the Month

Cooking with Claudia Claudia Wilson, Executive Assistant of the South Tipton County Chamber of Commerce, is the Chamber Chef. Claudia provides food for most Chamber events. Her reputation really began to spread when she started preparing meals for the Chamber’s monthly First Friday Coffee. So many members have requested Claudia’s recipes that we decided to feature Claudia and her recipes in each issue of this newsletter.

“When I retired from the Tipton County Board of Education in May of 2000, I worked part-time for my husband, Bob Wilson. He was very active in the South Tipton County Chamber of Commerce, having been one of the Charter Members of the Chamber Board. I started attending chamber functions with him and realized how much I enjoyed being a part of this organization. In March of 2001, Rosemary decided to start a networking function called, First Friday Coffee. I volunteered to bring the refreshments. At that time, we had about 12-15 members who would attend. We began by sitting around the Conference Table and just visiting. First Friday Coffee began to grow and so did my interest in cooking!

My mother, Virginia McCormick, was my inspiration to learn to cook. However, it wasn’t until she died, that I really began to develop my cooking skills.

Mother wanted to do the cooking, and all I got to do was watch. She always said, “I have a ‘one-butt’ kitchen, and mine is the only one to be in it!”But over the years, I learned techniques that she had acquired and more importantly, I developed the same passion for cooking that she had! All my friends at First Friday Coffee have encouraged me and now I find that I have to try new dishes, new ingredients, and new techniques each month. It is fun, but it is also a lot hard work!

First Friday Coffee offers me an opportunity to create a theme around which all the recipes evolve. Sometimes the theme is somewhat elaborate and other times it may be as simple as “Apples, Apples, and more Apples.” We have established some all time favorite recipes that are served over and over again.

We have also found some that had to be sent to the “trash can” to be forgotten!

Every dish is made with the “real” ingredient—real butter, eggs, sugar, etc. We don’t skimp on calories or worry about cholesterol on the First Friday of every month! My worst critic is Bob—he says “just give me ham & biscuits”! First Friday Coffee has grown so much that we have had to move it to the First United Methodist Church LEC. It provides me an opportunity to do what I love to do— cook—and have a captive audience who loves to be fed!!” . . . . Claudia The recipes that I want to share with you this month are for Country Apple Dumplings and probably my most requested recipe—Tomato Bacon Pie. Country Apple Dumplings (Who knew that fresh apples, crescent roll dough, and citrus soda could make such a wonderful treat!!)

2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough 1 cup butter 1 ½ cups white sugar 1 t. ground cinnamon 1 can Ginger Ale, or Mountain Dew Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Cut each apple into 8 wedges and set aside. Separate the crescent roll dough into triangles. Roll each apple wedge in crescent roll dough starting at the smallest end.

Pinch to seal and place in the baking dish. Melt butter in small pan and stir in sugar and cinnamon. Pour over the apple dumplings. Pour soda over the apple dumplings. Bake for 35 5to 45 minutes or until golden brown.

Tomato Bacon Pie (Taste of Home Magazine) 1 can crescent roll—sheet not rolls 3 medium tomatoes, cut into ¼ inch slices 10 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 1 cup mayonnaise Place roll dough in 8 x 8 square pan. Bake until partially done. Place tomatoes on the crust; sprinkle with bacon. Combine the cheese and mayonnaise. Spoon over the bacon, leaving a 1 in. border around the edge. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 min. or until golden brown. Cover edges with foil if necessary to prevent over-browning.

Cole’s Home Solutions

Coleʼs Home Solutions. (L-R) Christy Cole, Cindy Clower, Mary Cole, C. E. “Bub” Cole

In the 1940’s the Cole company originated in a sawmill in Drummonds, owned and operated by Clifton Cole and built upon the principles of hard work and family pride.

In 1959, Clifton turned over the family business to his sons as it remained a sawmill and expanded to include contracting and the sale of hardware goods. The C.E.Cole Lumber Company operated from an 18’ x24’ grocery store building also located in Drummonds. At this time, Mary Cole, wife of Charles “Bub” Cole was hired to manage the business office. On January 1, 1963, the four brothers: Charles “Bub” Maynard “Soup”, Patrick “Cowboy” and Calvin “Jiggs” formed the corporation known today as Cole Lumber Company, Inc. In 1962 Cole Lumber Company, Inc. opened new doors to a second location in Millington. This store was successfully managed by Howard King, brother-in-law to the Cole brothers, until his death in 1989. The Millington store was completely destroyed by fire in 1977. With the help of our wonderful employees (and some irons and fans), we reopened the very next day in a satellite location.

The Cole brothers built a new 4000 square foot home for the original company in Drummonds in 1972. The Drummonds location caters to many local contractors and remains a driving force behind the growth of the South Tipton County community.

Because of the continued growth of South Tipton County and Millington, Cole’s Do It Best Center opened in Millington in 1990 as an 18,500 sq. foot facility. This facility has a great focus

on retail and offers a variety of opportunities for employees.

The Coles continued to research the community and in doing so offered a Home Décor Center with the opening of Cole’s Cabinets, Floors & More in 1999. This store is located in Millington and offers a complete selection of in-stock finished and unfinished cabinets and vanities, as well as, a large selection of ceramic tile, hardwood flooring, carpet and other styles of flooring.

In 2002 Cole Lumber company, Inc. expanded once again, but this time to Lauderdale County. The Cole’s purchased the newly built Ace Store in Ripley transforming it into Cole’s Do It Best Home Center. The Home Center in Ripley offers the same product mixture as Millington, but with the Home Décor of Cole’s Cabinets, Floors & More.

As the Cole Company has continued to expand, so have the needs of the employees. To meet these growing needs, the Cole Company opened the Central Office in September 2009. At Central Office you will find centralized AP/AR, centralized payroll, Inventory Control, Advertising and Marketing and Human Resources.

Over the years, Cole Lumber Company, Inc. has truly remained a family business as many of the Cole children have chosen to work for the company. The entire cole family has a fine reputation for not only being community leaders, but for lending a hand both physically and financially to the community. Cole employees are treated as if they too are a part of the Cole tradition.

Jamestown DarSay Burton

Greetings, Fall has arrived. It was truly felt especially by me on Sunday morning while I made my way out to morning service. I almost could have used a light jacket. Anyhow, after all of the hot days we’ve come through, it was a pleasure.

Jamestown Community Health Organization (JCHO) is working steadfastly on their next event, which is a black tie affair to be held Oct. 23 from 6:30-10 p.m., at the Baker Center in Millington off of Navy Road. Tickets are $20 per person, and it’s adults only. For additional information you may contact any JCHO officer or see President Lessie Cooke or his lovely wife Gwen who’s on the planning committee for this event, along with Pam Springfield, JCHO’s program coordinator.

President Mary Burton and teacher Willie Mae Burton came out again on Tuesday at 5 p.m. for another missionary meeting at the center, formerly Old Miller’s Store on Jamestown Road.

I would like to wish a belated happy anniversary to a lovely couple married 23 years as of Sept. 10, Mr. and Mrs. Romel (Pearl) Andrews now of Atoka, living on Campground Road.

Both of them are aspiring young ministers of the gospel. Also, they’re the proud parents of two college students, daughter Ashley Kaye, and their oldest son, Xavier, who’s a second-year student attending University of Tennessee at Knoxville and their youngest son, Michael, who is a fourth grader.

On our sick list as as those of our regular readers requesting prayers are Bessie Cobbs, Doris King, Willie Holland, Posey Reed, Joseph Heaston Sr., Franklin Jones Sr., Cornell Sherrill, Minister Pink

Sherrill Jr., Jennie Stewart, Gloria Sherrill, Edith Sherrill, Terry Sherrill, Vivian Dickerson, Doneta Alston, Cortez Lee, Jeffery Mosley Sr., Willie Mae Burton, Christine and Connie Brown, Charlene and David Sneed, Rufus Garner, John Burton, Ada Fletcher, Patra Ballard, Eula Culbreath and family, Vernard “Big Boy�

Burton, Pauline Yarbrough, Alice Maris, Naomi Dandridge, Rev. Kevin King Jr., Rev. and Mrs. Richard Coe, Joe and Mae Malone, Jessie Lawson, Eddie B. and Flossie Woods, Beulah Wakefield, Carlotta Jones, Ina Yarbrough, Mildred Sherrill and family, Percy White and family, Robert Smith and family, Ruth Alston, Theary Alston, Ruth Griffin, Rhonda Heaston-McLin and family, Emma Brown, Johnnie Thompson, John and Cleo Thompson, John Mason and family, Ethel Tipton and family and Nadine Kellum and family.

On Sunday afternoon I enjoyed spending a spiritually filled service at my cousin’s church in Raleigh/Frayser in Memphis. Pastor Steven Miller is founder as well as pastor of North Star Community Church serving now 13 years. In fact, it was the anniversary celebration of he and his lovely wife, first lady, Dorothy Miller. A lovely meal was served afterwards in the church’s dining room and was enjoyed by members, family and friends. Rev. Miller is the son of our own Amas Miller of Jamestown and Dollie Miller Cummings

www.covingtonleader.com of Memphis.

Pastor Aaron Leach of True Gospel in Memphis brought the Preached Word from the evening’s theme, Jer. 3:15, “And I will give you pastors, according to mine heart.�

Masters of Ceremonies was Chaplain Chris Bounds from Methodist North Hospital on Austin Peay Highway (Highway 14).

Birthday greetings this week to Donnie Rivers on the 19th, to Tianna Bell and Derrick Burton on the 30th and to Josh Kennedy on Oct. 3 (my oldest grandson, a freshman at Pepperdine University in California), to Octavia White on the 2nd, to Rudolph Boykins on the 4th, and also to Ronnie Burton and Rev. Maurice Dickerson on the 2nd.

Jokes Groves Baptist off of Highway 51 in Atoka celebreated Women’s Day on Sunday evening.

Guest speaker was Minister Pearl Andrews of Bright Hill. Rev. Bailey is the pastor.

That is all for now, remember, “If life comes at you way too fast, stop and pray.�

Charger defense gets homecoming win

By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader On a night when the Charger offense managed just enough points to squeak out a win when they were not shooting themselves in the foot, the members of the defense were holding the Jackson Southside Hawks to just 145 yards of total offense and waylaying them with some wicked hits to take a 14-12 Homecoming victory at the Athletic Field.

“Our mistakes on offense cost us at least 21 points,” said CHS head coach Marty Wheeler. “At the end of the game, when we should have been comfortably ahead, we are having to fight to hold on because we have made mistakes, mainly silly penalties, that held us back.”

It took a sack of the Hawks’ quarterback by Jadarius Temple at the CHS 45 on third down with 45 seconds left and a big time pass break up by Detric Smith and Terrence Pierson at the Charger 25 on fourth down to end Southside’s final threat and give the Chargers a kneel down in the victory formation to go to 2-2.

Everything prior to that was a struggle.

Southside was unable to move on the opening possession and had to punt. CHS moved smartly downfield running the ball getting a first and goal at the JSS nine on a fourth and 11 run of 29 yds from Cordera Olden. A procedure penalty on first down blew the momentum and CHS gave the ball over on downs at the 12. CHS defense came to the rescue. A jarring hit knocked the ball loose inside the five-yard line on second down and Martavian Adams pounced on it for the Chargers. With 4:33 left in the first period, Carlos Williams plowed across the goal line to score. Shelton Lyons added the two-point conversion and the Chargers had an 8-0 lead.

Southside could not move again and had to punt as the game moved into the second period. CHS took over at its own 21-yard line and embarked on a 79-yard scor-

ing drive that culminated with a seven-yard Williams dash to the end zone. The PAT was missed but the Chargers were up 14-0 with 9:12 left in the half.

Suddenly the Hawks found a life and a play that worked as tailback Trent Wilson could get running room on the left side. He got it all the way to the end zone for a Hawk touchdown. The PAT was wide left but JSS had cut the lead to 14-6 just 3:14 before halftime.

The second half was a total bust for Covington on offense. Every possession was scuttled by a penalty or a turnover. The Hawks took the ball for the third time early in the fourth period at their own 41yard line following a fumble recovery and began moving again behind the running of Wilson. It took a nine-play drive for JSS to score and cut the CHS advantage to 14-12.

Looking to knot the game at 14, Southside’s Kaleb Richardson sprinted right seeking a receiver but he was buried under a sea of Chargers nullifying the two-point attempt and preserving the precarious Charger lead.

Southside got one more opportunity as the Chargers turned the ball over on a fumble on the next possession deep in Hawk territory at the JSS 25 yard line. The drive was snuffed out by the two big plays from Temple, Smith and Pierson. CHS out-gained JSS 271 yards to 145. Carlos Williams had 118 yds on 15 carries scored two touchdowns and made some big plays on defense. Terrance Pierson had 55 tough yards rushing on 16 carries and was a force in the secondary.

Friday’s opponent at the Athletic Field is a talented Rebel team from Obion County as the Chargers return to Regional play. “Obion Central is well coached,” said Coach Wheeler. “They have a balanced offense and a able to run and pass the ball equally well. We should be able to play with them if we can defend the pass.” CHS needs a minimum of two more Region wins to make the plays offs. They are currently 3-3 (1-1). Kick-off for tomorrow night’s game is 7:30 p.m.

Cougars can’t beat deficit

By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com

Munford quarterback Hunter Harden finds some running room during action against Overton Friday night for homecoming. The Wolverines defeated Munford 34-22.

Friday night’s MunfordOverton game was a tale of two halves.

Unfortunately for Cougar fans, Overton’s first half was bigger than Munford’s second half and the Wolverines beat Munford on homecoming night, 34-22.

After falling behind 27-0, Munford made a game of it.

Drew Weston scored on a 74-yard run after a recovered onside kick and Reggie Fleming broke a 26-yard touchdown following another onside recovery late in the fourth quarter.

But on Overton’s next play from scrimmage, quarterback Isaiah Harris broke a 55-yarder that all but put the game away.

Munford ended up scoring on a hook-and-ladder play that ended with Antonio Moore scoring from 26-yards out moments later, but time ran out on the Cougars.

With four minutes left in the first half there was no score, but Munford fumbled deep in its own territory and mistake snowballed into 20 Overton points before halftime.

Munford Redbirds

“We had to have a cometo-Jesus meeting at halftime,” said Munford coach Matt Saunders. “We folded at the end of the first half and gave up 20 points in four minutes.”

The sudden unraveling has been a them this year, according to Saunders.

“Once we score, we’re fine and we get comfortable,” Saunders said. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more emotional team.”

Weston had a big night for the Cougars with 152 yards on four carries. Hunter Harden completed 8 of 20 passes for 80 yards.

Harris led Overton with 166 yards on 13 carries.

The Cougars (2-4) play a huge district game Friday night at home against Brighton.

The Cougars defeated Brighton last year.

“I feel like we’re going to have a bull’s eye on our back, believe it or not, because of what happened last year,” Saunders said. “I think they’re going to come and try and get some revenge, and rightfully so. It should be a great atmosphere and I expect a lot of the county to come out and watch.”

The Munford Redbirds finished the 2009-2010 baseball season as the first ranked 11AAA team in West Tennessee and second ranked team in the state according to the USSSA Power Rankings. They had an in-class record of 24-9 and an overall record of 40-17. The Redbirds played in 13 tournaments and had three first place finishes and five runner-ups. This is the sixth season of travel ball for the Redbirds. The Redbirds are: Back- Hunter Stephens, Carter Holt, Ben Coleraine, Jacob Sawyers, Austin Perry, Brennan Hollie. Front- Drew Drexler, Mark Smith, Tucker King, TJ Klutts, Corey Simmons, Austin Cousar. The team is managed by Jeff Sawyers.

Volley for the cure

BHS breezes past MAHS

By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com One week removed from a tough loss against Jackson North Side, the Brighton Cardinals rebounded nicely Friday night at home against Memphis Academy of Health and Sciences.

Antonio Dickerson scored four touchdowns in the first half as the Cardinals built an early lead and cruised to a 56-6 win.

Dickerson found the endzone on touchdown passes for 18, 24 and 25 yards from Danny Potter and also scored the team’s second touchdown on a two-yard run.

Greg Starks got the scoring started by returning the opening kickoff 84 yards for a score. He also scored on a three-yard run

and a 19-yard pass from Potter.

A 30-yard scoring strike from Potter to Ricky Foster made the score 21-0 midway through the first quarter. Brighton led 28-0 after one quarter and 56-0 at the half.

MAHS’s lone score of the game came on a 90-yard kickoff return from Jamie Isaac in the fourth period.

Brighton’s defense was particularly stingy, holding MAHS to negative 17 yards for the game.

Potter completed 11 of 16 passes for 197 yards. Dickerson rushed for 83 yards on seven carries and caught three passes for 43 yards. Foster caught seven balls for 107 yards.

Brighton (5-1) returns to action Friday night at home against county rival Munford in a key district game for both teams.

Crusaders sneak by TRA

By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com Tipton-Rosemark Academy head coach Dodd Gengenbach felt like it was one his team’s better performances Friday night at home against First Assembly Christian School.

But it wasn’t quite enough to win as FACS defeated the Rebels 33-19.

When TRA’s Keith Hamlin scored on a 1-yard run with 8:30 left in the game, the Rebels trailed by just one score, 27-19.

FAC’s defense held strong the rest of the way, however, and scored on the last play of the game to push the margin to 14.

“I was really proud of our kids,” Gengenbach said of his team, which fell to 0-6 on the season. “In terms of intensity and effort, it was reminiscent of our first two games of the season. We stayed focused the whole game.”

FACS jumped ahead 14-0 midway through the second quarter before a fouryard run by Hamlin cut the lead to 14-7.

B1.indd 1

Midway through the third quarter, Hamlin scored again, this time from 16 yards out. A missed extra point left the Rebels down 14-13.

An FACS touchdown early in the fourth quarter ended up being the difference in the game.

Hamlin had a huge game for the Rebels. In addition to scoring all three touchdowns he passed for 81 yards and rushed for 62 more. Zac Hodgins rushed 73 yards on 15 carries and Jordan Fox added 62 yards on 14 carries.

Ryan Payne had a big night receiving with four catches for 52 yards.

Although the Rebels are winless, Gengenbach believes his team has a chance to finish strong.

The Rebels host league opponent Rossville on Friday for homecoming and then play Fayette Academy, another league foe, two weeks later.

“If we can win those two, we will still have a chance to compete for the playoffs,” Gengenbach said. “We still have a chance to achieve our goals.”

By TIFFANY HOLLAND tholland@covingtonleader.com Winning games is not all the Covington High School Women’s volleyball team is trying to accomplish, but they are also serving up some charity work. The team will be taking part in the “Volley for the Cure” 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 “Pink Out” 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 “Kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month.”

If you have any questions and would like to help out you can call Brenda Moss at 233-8626 or Paige Warmath at 496-5843.

The Lady Chargers volleyball team encourages everyone to come and help out with their cause.

Munford played Memphis Central this week and won 25-10, 25-23, 25-11.

Munford is 25-4 on the season. In the games highlights, Scarlet Gable had 23 kills, followed by Crystal Williams 10 kills. Photo by Fred Brooks.

Wildlife Chatter: State sets duck season regs

First of all, thanks for all the phone calls and messages. They sure are picking up nicely from opening day and opening weekend.

The dates and bag limits have been set for 2010-11 Tennessee duck season and it appears to be an early present for our hunters.

This year, we will have another 60-day season. It will come in two segments. The first segment will be November 27 and 28.

Then the season will close and reopen Dec. 4 and continue through Jan. 30. That makes two days in November; 28 days in December and 30 days in January and that makes our 60 day total.

Reelfoot Duck Season will vary from our days only on the opening two day season. Their twoday season will be Nov. 13 and 14. The rest of their season will match the rest of our season, Dec. 4 through Jan. 30.

Juvenile duck season will be held statewide on Feb. 5 and 6, except for Reelfoot which will be held Feb. 12 and 13.

Bag limits will consist of two pintails (an increase of one over last year) and four mallards with no more than two mallard hens.

Any WMA season drawn-blind that is not occupied by the registrants by legal shooting hour, may be hunted by any other legal waterfowl hunter for the remainder of that day.

All WMAs open until sunset on the last day of each segment of the late duck and remaining goose seasons except for North Chickamauga Creek and Fort Loudon WMAs.

WMAs with special closing times are open all day, each day of the youth waterfowl season.

Youth ages 6-16 must be accompanied by an adult who is at least two years of age older, who must remain in position to take immediate control of the hunting device except as otherwise noted.

Wheelchair-bound hunts, zones or blinds are open to hunters who are totally and permanently confined to a wheelchair as certified by a physician. Certain WMAs have special blind sites established for wheelchair-bound hunters to include: Cheatham Lake, Old Hickory, Reelfoot, and West Sandy. See specific WMAs for regulations if applicable. On wheelchair-bound waterfowl hunts, each wheelchairbound hunter must be accompanied by at least one, but not more than three assistants (at lest one of whom must be age 16 years or older) who may also participate in hunting.

Cold Creek WMA, Lauderdale County, is open with state wide seasons but closes at 3 p.m.

Obion River WMA, Obion, Weakley & Gibson, is open with state wide seasons.

Reelfoot Wildlife Managment Area (the lands and waters within the boundaries of Reelfoot Lake WMA only) Lake and Obion Counties, open only
