Remembering September 11, 2001 SPECIAL REPORT

County comes together after attacks and again a decade later

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com

Tuesday, September 11, 2001 is a day that, for most people who can remember, lives in infamy. It began quietly, but as two planes crashed into the Twin Towers in New York City, another near Shanksville, Pennsylvania and a fourth into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, the symbol of America’s military, a new chapter in American history

began. With 2,977 lives lost, it’s difficult not to forget the terror, the fear, the horror, the devastation brought on by the four planes and their hijackers. Based upon the reports in archived editions of The Leader, Tipton Countians were as devastated by the day’s events as the rest of the country. “It is so hard for me

to comprehend what has happened to our country,” wrote the late Bessie Lee Shankle, who wrote the “South of the Border”column. “It is almost unbelievable. I have been so upset, I can’t sleep and I can’t think straight. After all those suicidal attacks, nothing would surprise me anymore. I just wonder what will happen next?” And like the rest of

Vandals desecrate Tipton County’s oldest church By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com

Hunter found safe after five days By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com SHELBY FOREST – Reported missing on Wednesday, Aug. 31, correctional officer Bill Lawrence was found, alive and well, on Sunday, Sept. 4 by a motorcyclist passing through Meeman-Shelby Forest. “I just tried to remain calm, get as much rest as I could, and try to find a water source and something to eat,” Lawrence told reporters yesterday. “The water source was nasty. I was drinking muddy water.”

The search and rescue effort, which has been called “intense” by local law enforcement, began after two men squirrel hunting with Lawrence reported him missing. The separation of the trio resulted in a large-scale search effort that encompassed tens of thousands of forestry and multiple agencies directed by the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office. Lawrence, who is reportedly hearing impaired, is employed by the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office and works in the correctional facility. “During the efforts there were

several obstacles, but two had the biggest impact,” said sheriff J.T. “Pancho” Chumley. “First, there was no cellular service through the 13,000 acres of forest that was being searched; the only means of communication for teams were hand-held walkies and grid maps provided to searchers. A second obstacle was the dense terrain being searched.” Chumley said even seasoned trackers leading some of the teams became isolated in areas during the search effort. Search teams included personnel

Vandals have struck again at the county’s oldest surviving church structure, causing approximately $4,000 of damage to several tombstones, many close to 150 years old. Sometime between Thursday evening, Aug. 13 and Sept. 1, unknown miscreants entered the church grounds of Old Trinity, also known as Trinity in the Fields, and toppled over several of the imposing headstones, which mark the final resting location of members of the Peete family. George Scarbrough, treasurer and caretaker for Old Trinity, discovered the vandalism when he arrived to tend to the church grounds. “When I came out to take care of the yard, I found several headstones toppled over,” Scarbrough said. “I went around the building and found several more knocked over.” Scarbrough said he reported the vandalism to the Tipton County Sheriff’s office. He also mentioned that there had been another incident just SEE VANDALS, PAGE A3

Cannon retiring after 30 years

By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com

Another chapter in Tipton County medical history has come to an end. Internist Dr. Jesse Cannon has closed his internal medicine practice after more than 30 years. Cannon, who began his practice in Tipton County in 1980, was diagnosed 18 months ago with a rare disorder called primary amyloidosis, which ultimately impacts the kidneys, the heart muscle and nerve function. “The patients know all about it,” said Cannon. “They actually wanted me to retire last year but I didn’t have anyone in place I felt comfortable with taking over patient care.” After graduating from the University of Tennessee and completing his residency, he worked for the U.S. Public Health Service in Stanton. It was then, Drs. Bill McCullough and Sterling Ruffin met with a young Cannon and asked him to come to Tipton County. “They asked me to do consults and see patients in intensive care,” said Cannon. “This allowed me to practice what I was trained to do, but my intentions at the time were to complete my two-year obligation and then move to Seattle, Wash. to study cardiology at the University of Washington.”

Although Cannon grew up in Haywood County, he soon discovered he loved living and working in Tipton County. “I sort of fell in love with the community and physicians I was working with,” he said. “At the same time my mother-in-law became very ill and I decided I needed to stay closer to home. I really enjoyed being able to do a wide variety of internal medicine and by that time the county had sold the hospital to Baptist and had made a commitment to really renovate the hospital. Their intentions were to develop a state of the art intensive care unit, and for a young internal medicine specialist to have the opportunity to help organize the ICU and work with cutting edge technology, well, it was a match made in heaven. I also thought it was a great place to raise a family. I’ve been here every since.” In preparation for his departure, Cannon has been working to finalize a suitable arrangement with a physician who would be willing to come into a very busy practice – all while completing chemotherapy. “I have been working for the past year and a half through my chemo to find someone willing to take over my practice. This is my commitment to my patients. I will still be available for consults – I’m kind of like those old soldiers… you never

Continued from A1 the country, Tipton Countians came together to give, to wave flags, to honor the fallen. In the days after the attacks, several prayer services took place in the county at churches and on the lawn at the courthouse. The Leader’s special publication on Sept. 19, 2001, showed photos of local residents setting up donation drop-off sites in businesses and restaurants and reported “thousands upon thousands” of others in the county pledging to assist in the relief effort. On Sunday, Sept. 16, 2001, members of the Brighton and Three Star volunteer fire departments collected more than $2,100 in donations while standing at the corner of Hwy. 51 South and Simmons Road in Munford. Ten years ago, BFVD Lt. William Oakman said, “All of us (firefighters) couldn’t travel to New York and Washington to help out like we really wanted to, so this is our way of doing our part to help out.” And, 10 years later, Tipton Countians still want to help, still want to show their patriotism, still want to come together in remembrance of a tragedy that, by most accounts, rocked life as we all knew it then. On Sunday, both Genesis Church and Covington Assembly of God are hosting services to honor the military and emergency personnel (see ads on pages A16 and A20). A look back at the last 10 years shows many differences in daily lives, in travel, in national security. Engaged in two foreign wars – Operation Enduring Freedom, which was declared on Sept. 20, 2001, and Operation Iraqi Freedom, declared in March 2003 – the country has lost more than 6,200 to date Americans fighting terrorism. Major victories in these wars were the deaths of two notable terrorists: Saddam Hussein, executed in December 2006, and Osama bin Laden in

really retire.” Cannon didn’t intend to be a doctor. In fact, he had already been accepted at the University of Tennessee as an engineering student. But the death of his beloved mother three days after he graduated from high school inspired him to seek the medical field. “My mom died unexpectedly at 46-years-old,” remembered Cannon. “She wanted me to go into medicine but I wanted to be an engineer. The day after she died I was talking to my high school guidance counselor and she asked how my mother’s death was going to change things. I was the

oldest of eight kids with the youngest 5-years-old at the time and UT was a long way away from home.” Cannon said his counselor reminded him of his mother’s desire for him to become a doctor and so he agreed to change his major. He transferred to the University of Tennessee at Martin to study medicine. “It was kind of a kneejerk reaction,” he said. “She told me, ‘you mom wanted you to do it’ and I agreed. I was able to move my scholarship to UT Martin but I was still in the engineering dorm. SEE CANNON, PAGE A3

Continued from A1 two weeks prior. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We discovered vandalism inside the church two weeks ago,â&#x20AC;? he explained, angrily. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We found a busted window pant and two spindles broken in the alter rail.â&#x20AC;? Almost every headstone in the cemetery has fallen victim to vandals during the church and cemeteryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 164 years of existence. Many of the old stones have been laid flat to preserve whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left of them. Scarbrough says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not sure who would desecrate holy ground but he is certain they have no respect for the property of others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has been going on for at least 30 years,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People come out here at night to drink and do whatever and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any respect for other peoples property. They just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how else to sum it up â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if you had respect you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do this. Although Scarbrough has filed a police report, he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t confident that anything will be done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s department is suppose to be patrolling down here and they may be, but they are not stopping and looking. Or they are driving by so fast they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see anything because they would have found this if they were looking. To be

Continued from A1 on foot, canines, horses, all-terrain vehicles, boats, police vehicles and helicopters. The searches were conducted each day during the daylight hours. Movement in the forest at night, he said, was too dangerous and virtually impossible. During the search, teams located a shotgun shell casing that appeared to be purposefully positioned in a log and a water bottle label that appeared to be positioned at the root of a tree, Chumley said. On Sunday, search teams had moved methodically through the woods to an area near Jackson Hill Road, four miles from the location of the last tracking of Lawrence by the canines. Lawrence said he recalls hearing motorcycles in the distance on Sunday morning and walking the direction of the sound. He made his way to

community to know how grateful he and his family are for the years of support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest thing is my entire family is just so grateful that the community and individual patients and their families gave me 30 years to be involved in their lives,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen parts of three generations and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a tremendous experience. Not only the people in my practice but the entire community embraced us. I could never repay the community for what they have given me. People will come up to me and tell me they are grateful for what I have done, but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize they gave me more than I was ever able to give them.â&#x20AC;?

honest, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even think they looking for anyone. I think they took a report and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the end of it.â&#x20AC;? Approximately a month before Trinity Sunday, a yearly service held in honor of and at the church built in 1847, it was discovered that the 1847 church was not structurally sound. Scarbrough and several parishioners formed a group called the Friends for the Preservation of Old Trinity to raise the necessary monies for the preservation of the church. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty angry and aggravated,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We maintain the yard, the building and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve raise enough money to start the renovation. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enough to take care of that and then you come out here and have something like this and now you have to take time away from other activities to address something that should never have happened.â&#x20AC;? The front doors of the church show the many cracks, which run through the length of the stilloriginal doors, although they have been repaired several times throughout the years. Scarbrough explains vandals repeatedly kick the doors open, even though they are not locked. The historic preservation plaque which once proudly hung on the outside of the church,

pronouncing its history, is no longer there. It was stolen early last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lock the door anymore because they keep kicking them down and destroying them. Even with the doors not locked, they still kicked them opened and knocked it off its hinges. The doors have been splintered in half several times. At least once a year, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find a footprint on it. Just today, I found the gate opened and the church doors opened when I arrived.â&#x20AC;? Scarbrough explained to prevent cars from being hidden behind the church; a steel cable was installed several years ago to prevent cars from being able to drive onto the church grounds. Visitors must now park in front of the church where their cars are visible from the road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to prevent people from visiting the church but this has to stop. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand how someone can treat a church like this. If they catch them, they need to pay restitution and be made to perform community service. Maybe made to work in a cemetery or at a funeral to see how death affects people. This is where someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family, their loved ones are buried. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand how anyone can desecrate holy grounds

like this.â&#x20AC;? Persons with information regarding the vandalism at Old Trinity can contact the Tipton County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office at 475-3300.

Two motorcycles traveling on the road came up on Lawrence and helped him get to the search and rescue teams in the area. Officer Lawrence was dehydrated, disoriented and weak. He was suffering from an infestation of chigger and server bug bites over his body. After a brief reunion

with awaiting family members, Officer Lawrence was transported to Methodist North for treatment. Officer Lawrence remains under doctors care to monitor his recovery due to the ingestion of untreated water and items he consumed from the forest and the lengthy exposure to the elements.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2011

IN OUR OPINION: A LOOK BACK

We are united in the defense of our country Editor’s note: With the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks approaching, we dipped into our archives to read the news published in The Leader during that time period. The following editorial, which was originally printed on Sept. 19, 2001, is a look back at the terror that reigned in the early days after the attack and the spirit of unity, the patriotism and the resolve left in its wake. We will never forget, and we hope you don’t either.

ady Liberty took a direct hit on September 11, 2001 with the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, D.C. The terrorists knew exactly where to go to inflict the most damage and also tear at the heartstrings of the American public. The attack on New York went after the financial district, apparently in hopes that they could send our finances into ruins the whole United States would follow. The attack in Washington was apparently meant as a blow to our nation’s defenses. It was if to say, we can do what we want and you won’t hurt us. The attacks, however, have done more to rally this nation than anything since Dec. 7, 1941, the day the United States was attacked by Japan and brought us into World War II. September 11 now joins that day nearly 60 years ago as a day of infamy. It will not be easily forgotten. Terrorism is not something we are used to here. It was nothing to pick up a daily paper or turn on the television news and not hear about some terrorist attack in the Middle East. But that was thousands of miles away. While we felt the pain of those killed by those who seem willing to sacrifice their lives for a cause, we still weren’t able to fully understand what those in Israel were really going through. Terrorists have killed Americans in other parts of the world. The key word there is other. Last Tuesday it was brought to our shoes. The response from around the world has been amazing. In England, the national anthem was played at the changing of the guard. Makeshift memorials will flowers and candles have appeared in many countries. Many have pledged their support to help the United States rid the world of terrorism. Among the leaders pledging support and condolences were the leaders of Chine and Russia and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization gave its approval in a special called meeting. What does all of that mean? There will be more bloodshed, some ours, hopefully more of those involved in terrorism. We’re not condoning killing anyone. We do believe that we must strike and get an upperhand on terrorism or it will surely doom mankind. President George W. Bush stated on Monday that the wanted poster is out on Osama bin Laden, the suspected perpetrator of this dastardly deed. He even went so far as to say that we want bin Laden “dead or alive.” The president has asked us all to prepare for war, to be alert for changes in our daily lives. “The American people need to go about their business, but with a heightened sense of awareness that a group of barbarians had declared war,” Bush said. The president’s statements are being taken very seriously in known terrorist countries like Afghanistan. Countries surrounding Afghanistan have begun closing their borders to refugees fleeing an attack anticipated by the United States. The United States is united in its quest to squelch terrorism. It won’t be easy, and it won’t be something that’s over in a day or two, or even a week. The president has prepared us for what’s ahead. He and other top-level staff members have said this may take years to complete. It’s a mission that must be done. Leonard Pitts Jr. wrote last week in the Detroit Free Press: “... As Americans we will weep, as Americans we will mourn, and as Americans, we will rise in defense of all that we cherish. “Still I keep wondering what it was you hoped to teach us. Maybe just wanted us to know the depths of your hatred. “If that’s the case, consider the message received. And take this message in exchange: You don’t know my people. You don’t know what we’re about. You don’t what you just started … But you’re about to learn.” It’s a new war, one we’ve never had to fight. This won’t be something where we can bomb our way to victory. Not, it’s going to be something fought in an unknown territory, against a sometimes invisible group. But it’s something that must be done, for the sake of all mankind. We must stay united in this endeavor. – Leader staff, Sept. 19, 2001

In memory of Michael: ten years later This is a story I wrote immediately after 9/11 and after learning that one of my co-workers, a friend who worked for me onboard JUST MY VIEW USS WASP for three years, had SHERRI ONORATI been killed at the Pentagon. I can’t tell you how it felt to get the phone call that told us Mike was dead. I was on duty and we were watching it unfold on TV. We were scared because we knew that Mike was in the Pentagon that day and worried for his safety. I remember there being talk of the thousands of people inside the Pentagon, why did Mike have to be one who died. We could hardly see the TV through the tears that were streaming down our faces, praying that he was okay and that the call was a mistake. But it wasn’t. Mike was gone and he wouldn’t have wished anyone else to take his place. He loved the Navy and he loved being a sailor. He was our hero. In the 10 years since his death, I don’t think a week has ever gone by when I haven’t thought of him. Something always happens that triggers a memory… Garth Brooks’ song “The Dance”… I’ll catch sight of the miniature stein he brought me back from Germany sitting on

my display shelf… someone mentions 9/11… and now the death of Osama bin Laden. There was mixed feelings among many people on hearing the news of bin Laden’s death. Some say it’s wrong to rejoice in his demise… but I felt nothing but relief… and yes, I’ll admit it, enjoyment. We’ve waited… I’ve waited for 10 years for his ending. “All things in the world are two. In our minds we are two – good and evil. With our eyes we see two things – things that are fair and things that are ugly… we have the right hand that strikes and makes for evil, and the left hand full of kindness, near the heart. One foot may lead us to an evil way, the other foot may lead us to a good. So are all things two.” – Eagle Chief, Pawnee Michael, you can rest in peace now shipmate… the evil-doer has answered for his crimes. Pentagon blast felt close to home By Journalist 1st Class (SW) Sherri Onorati, USS Wasp Public Affairs NORFOLK, Va. (NNS) — This past week, terrorists attacked the United States in its own backyard. The nation’s sense of security was

destroyed, its innocence truly lost. Never did America really believe such a thing could happen. As citizens across the country watched in disbelief, the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center were destroyed. Then, as Americans continued to watch in horror, the Pentagon, the center of America’s “military might,” was attacked by a commercial airplane filled with innocent Americans. It is unthinkable to American, such madness and barbarism can still exist in the modern world today; that terrorists could use American-made hardware and civilians in such a manner against the nation. As all of America weeps in pain and stares in disbelief at the images flashed across television sets, sailors of USS Wasp (LHD 1) also feel the pain a bit closer to home. A former Wasp crewmember, Illustrator/Draftsman 2nd Class Michael Allen Noeth is among the missing and presumed killed in the Pentagon attack. Noeth, of Jackson Heights, N.Y., who was an extremely talented artist, was recently transferred to the Pentagon to paint portraits of the former Chiefs of Naval Operations. “He was so proud of himself when he received those orders,” said Petty Officer First Class Saundra Harris. “He thought it to be a great honor to be asked to paint portraits of the former CNOs.” SEE VIEW, PAGE A5

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Is it right?

Dear editor, Recently the debate about the mosque at Ground Zero has reared it’s ugly head. A federal judge has cleared the way for the Muslims to commence the construction. No one doubts the constitutional rights these American citizens enjoy. However, having the right to build there does not make it right to build there. While watching TV news coverage of protesters burning the American flag a child asked her father “why?” He responded to her innocence briefly saying, “They have the right to do so”. “But Daddy” the child said, “just because they have the right to burn the flag, does that make it right?” The simple answer to that simple questions is, “no”. Neither is it right for the misguided Baptist Church to protest at funerals of our fallen warriors. Even though they have the constitutional right their actions are yet improper. Loopholes in the predatory lending laws provide the right for lenders to take advantage of financiallystrapped people by charging ridiculously exorbitant fees and interest on quick cash transactions. But is it right? Would it be right for the KKK to erect an establishment across the street from the Civil Rights Museum in Memphis? Of course not. They have the constitutional right to do so. But reason, conscience, and responsibility dictate otherwise. The same holds true

for the attempt by some Muslims to erect a mosque at Ground Zero. Do they have the right? Certainly they do. But is it right? As with the little girl’s question about the flag, the simple answer among reasonable people is “no”. Clouding our reasoning however, is an atmosphere of over-indulgence of “rights” fostered by a desire to be politically correct. This political correctness urges us to ignore the fact that the attack of Sept. 11, 2001, within our borders was by Muslims. Even with this knowledge we are not to profile. We are reminded by the politically correct among us that most Muslims are peace-loving individuals that merely want to coexist as fellow Americans. If this is true, where is the orchestrated outcry and condemnation from these “patriots” toward the few Muslims determined to destroy western civilization? I will be among the first to acknowledge all Muslims are not terrorists, just as I am certain that all women are not mothers but that all mothers are women I submit that all terrorists are Muslims. The demands to build a cordoba at this site should concern every American. Demands for constitutional rights and displays of arrogance are not conducive to good citizenship. Is it right that we shed the cloaks of political correctness? For the sake of our nation I think so. Bill Wallace Covington

150 YEARS AGO: SEPTEMBER 1861

The Civil War in Tipton County

By RUSSELL BAILEY Tipton County Historian

Brig. Gen. U. S. Grant, commanding Union forces in Southeast, Missouri arrived at Cape Girardeau on Sept. 1, 1861. The next day he sent the gunboats Tyler and Lexington and transport ship Graham to Belmont across the Mississippi from Columbus, Ky. Six hundred infantry of the 12th Illinois, disembarked to destroy the “rebel” fortifications. Col. Waagner wrote: “At Columbus the rebels fly the secession flag from the top of a lofty pole…in defiance of our gunboats.” Troops commanded by Gen. Benjamin Cheatham arrived at Hickman, Ky. on the 3d. His tented encampments extended one half mile upon the shore fronting the river. The 4th Infantry (including the “Tipton Rifles”) left New Madrid aboard the steamer H.R.W. Hill, joining the 13th Infantry. By midnight 2,500 troops were at Hickman while Col. John McCown’s Brigade was entrained at Union City en route for

Columbus. On Sept. 4, the Union gunboats’ Tyler and Lexington left Belmont on a reconnaissance toward Hickman. After noon Cheatham learned by telegraph that Union gunboats were headed toward Hickman. Frank Montgomery of the 1st Mississippi Cavalry Battalion recalled the unfolding drama: “Dense volumes of smoke were seen up the river, and there was great excitement in town, women and children running in every direction, the long roll beat and cavalry bugles sounded, and guns placed in commanding positions to resist a landing, for we all thought a large force was coming to attack the place.” When the Union gunboats came around the bend they spied the Confederate gunboat Jackson flying a huge “Rebel flag.” The Jackson opened fire. The Northern ships returned fire. After three or four shots had been exchanged, a Confederate land battery fired on the Yankees. Within minutes a masked battery of

rifled cannon higher up the river began firing on the Federals. The Union gunboats fired twenty shots at the Southerners during the hour-long engagement before they retired up river. A correspondent noted that a shell from the Tyler struck the wheelhouse of the Jackson bouncing off her railroad iron. A Confederate account reported: “Our gunboat swung around in a most graceful manner and opened fire on them with…Captain Hamilton’s battery, manned by the Southern Guards (about 17 of whom were from Tipton Co.)… then came to the assistance of the gunboat in a most gallant style. A brisk and sharp cannonading ensued on both sides, the enemy firing broadside after broadside, as fast as they could turn their boats. The hissing of the shell and shot through the air, the bursting of bombs, the load roar of cannon and the beating of the drum calling the infantry to arms, made the scene highly exciting. Capt. (William) Jackson of the Steuben Artillery…

will weep and mourn for their lost shipmates. But Americans and dailors will rise in defense of the country when freedom is threatened. Yes, the nation is in tremendous pain, but throughout America’s history,

adversity has made the country stronger. Noeth used to say that he painted pictures of the Navy because he wanted people to realize that their freedom and protection comes from the sweat of the sailors on

took a position higher up the river, and opened fire on them with rifled cannon (Gen. Cheatham served one of the cannon). The peculiar whirr of the balls seemed to frighten the Hessians so much that they turned and ingloriously fled up the river.” The batteries and 4th Infantry had spent the summer drilling at Randolph and Fort Pillow. William Dillon wrote: “About 3 p.m. one of Abraham’s gunboats came in sight. We were immediately formed in line of battle….this was the first time I ever saw a Yankee gunboat.” Col. William H. Stephens’ Brigade of the 6th and 9th Tennessee Infantry and Hudson’s Battery arrived from New Madrid after the skirmish. A veteran recalled: “Hickman is quite a nice place…citizens received the soldiers with shouts of enthusiasm.” The skirmish at Hickman was the first clash of arms of the War on the Mississippi. Learning of the engagement Gen. Grant ordered the withdrawal of his troops from Belmont .

Continued from A4 Noeth, an accomplished artist known for his naval-themed paintings, found himself among the elite last year when he was invited to display his personal paintings during an art exhibit held at the Montserrat Art Gallery in New York City. During his exhibit, he sold five of his paintings. While enlisting in the U.S. Navy as a deck seaman in 1994, Noeth’s paintings were soon noticed by the art director from the Navy’s All Hands magazine who expressed an interest in his work. Noeth was eventually assigned temporarily to the All Hands magazine production staff where he had numerous paintings published. One of his paintings was reproduced for the cover of the All Hands April 1998 “Year of the Ocean” issue. Noeth was assigned to Wasp from October 1998 to October 2000, and left many friends and shipmates aboard to feel his loss. “Mike was a funny, friendly person. He was a riot during the Med Cruise talent show, and would do impressions of the taxi drivers in New York, that always made you laugh,” said Journalist 2nd Class Kory Deur. Americans and sailors

Correspondents Almyra Libby Click

Hi everyone. Our Labor Day began with our normal routine of oatmeal at McDonald's. We had the privilege of eating and sharing conversation with my dear friends Judy and Shorty Dunaway. Charlie cut the grass for a while. Man, that rain was such a blessing. I had hoped for a lot more, but we must be content with what the Lord sends. I know one young lady who will remember this holiday for sure: Miss Haley Craig. She is the sweetheart of my grandson, Matt Scott. He presented her with a pair of diamond earrings for their one-year anniversary of dating. Wow! Way to go Matt, she's a doll. Charlie's 50th high school reunion this past weekend was quite unique and successful. We congratulate all of you, and especially the ones who made it a priority to travel so far for some of you. They began with a hayride at Jerry Melton's home and his wife Kelly prepared a delicious meal. Then Saturday night was the big formal event. They held it at their old cafeteria of the old school.

Ailene Curtis' son Wade Hartsfield did a fabulous job with delicious steaks and fried vegetables and a very delicious chocolate cake. Their honored guest was Mr. Billy and June Trotter. Mrs. June was their class sponsor and teacher to many. I was so pleased to get to sit beside her. We recalled a lot of old memories. Congratulations class of 1961! Grandparents' Day will be this Sunday, the 11th. Most of this generation's grandparents are gone, but very special memories are still with us. We who are grandparents now live each day to love those little (and big) babies and teenagers. They seem to make our lives complete. Happy Grandparents' Day to all of us seniors. Salem Presbyterian Church's worship is at 11 a.m. each Sunday. The youth groups will meet this Sunday at 5 p.m. We will receive a special offering this Sunday for Dunlap Retirement Center. We ask special prayer at this time for Mrs. Emily Breen as she fell while coming down a flight of stairs at a restaurant in Memphis this past week and broke and sprang several parts of her body. Happy birth-

Brighton Debe Simonton

Hello Dear Friends, Wow! What difference a week can make; I can't believe how wonderful the temperatures are after it being so hot, but this is only the first of September so I am sure the warm temps will be back. Maybe not so severe though. Our pooches are enjoying this mild break. I am sure the children that still play outside are as well. If yours aren't outside playing, they need to be. I bet even attitudes will be better. It seems when the weather is good we all feel better and some even act better! We all know this is excellent football weather. This week the Brighton Cardinals will visit the Covington Chargers. So all you Cardinal alumni get out and venture up the highway to Covington. You have no excuse on how hot it is; it is supposed to be very pleas-

days this week go to Mike Sterling, Jean Harris, Lloyd Champagne, A.D. Waits and Amy Fletcher. Hope they are each the greatest! Sharon Presbyterian's Church worship is at 9 a.m. each Sunday. We are always grateful for our Dunlap residents who are able to be with us. Happy birthday to Terri Click, which was on the first. Covington Church of Christ's worship is at 10:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. each Sunday. Our Bible study is at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday and Wednesday's at 7 p.m. Praise the Lord, we had our brother Grant Edmonds back with us last Sunday morning. He is doing much better, but has one more procedure to go. We love you Grant! Brother Kenneth Mason had another skin cancer removed last week. We love you too Brother Kenneth. Our prayers are always with you. Happy birthdays this week go to: Tommy Schroader, Christian Halford, Cameron Dickey, Adisyn Whaley, Andy Whaley and Mallorie Randolph. We were also blessed with baptism of Amber Gatlin and the angels in heaven. We also congratulate Perry and Shelia Pena on the birth

ant. GO CARDINALS! The annual Goat Days is this weekend in Millington as well, both Friday and Saturday, so everyone who can get out and go. We need to pray for the people in Texas with all the fires. There have been so many homes destroyed. We are fortunate that we have been spared this type of destruction and the aftermaths of the hurricane or tropical storms that have hit so many communities with tornadoes. The high school is selling yearbooks at various prices starting at $65. The later you order the higher it will be, so get yours early. Also the last day for seniors to get their pictures made for the annual is Sept. 30. You will have to go to the Jimmy Alford studio to have them made. The studio is closed on Sunday and Monday, so hurry up and get an appointment. Hope everyone has a great week. Love to all.

of a granddaughter, Miss Molly Grace. We would like for you to remember Mrs. Dorothy McDaniels, grandmother of Jennifer Phillips and an aunt of my Charlie. Before closing I would like to share a short story. Charlie and I went to visit Mrs. Louise Dungy last week at the Ripley Retirement Center. She's a dear friend and was my neighbor when I lived in Brighton. I also used to do her hair. While there I met her neighbor, another Louise and the lady down from them was also Louise. They call them the three musketeers. They read The Leader regularly. Love you girls. Charlie's daughter Laura Quinn and family have been in Florida for two weeks at Disney World. They will be home today. Can't wait to hear all the stories and share their photos. We have missed them. Also, both of my daugh-

ters, who are identical twins, Terri and Sherri, are having their wedding anniversaries this week. Congratulations Sherri and David Kidd and to Terri and Jerry Wane Barber. We love

you. Also, in closing, our new neighborhood restaurant called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ivy's Placeâ&#x20AC;? is now even having karoake on Saturday nights along with their delicious food. Have a great week everyone.

Dunlap Retirement Center Kathy Keiter

Hello everybody! Burrrr! I remember about this time last year writing the same word! Pardon me, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chilly out there. What happened to Fall? I guess its ok but I was expecting a little more of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Indian Summer,â&#x20AC;? itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my favorite time of year. Here I go complaining again when thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all those poor people that have lost everything they have either to floods, fires, earthquakes and hurricanes. I should be ashamed of voicing any complaints. But I guess most of us do it, then I think of what the Bible says about doing everything without grumbling. I guess Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not doing too well in that department. Well my yard sale wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the greatest success this year as it has been in the past. We had that terrible rain and wind storm hit us about 2:30. It was over after that. I may have made a few sales after that but definitely not like the years in the past. The awful thing isâ&#x20AC;Ś I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pray for â&#x20AC;&#x153;no

rain.â&#x20AC;? I allowed myself to depend upon the weather forecasters rather that the Lord. Shame on me. I bet I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that again. I just â&#x20AC;&#x153;assumedâ&#x20AC;? it was gona be nice, but you know what happens when you do that! Anyway, I just want to thank all of you that did come and check out our yard sale, we appreciate it so much. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re now getting excited about our fall fundraiser. It will be at First Baptist Church in Covington, in the outside pavilion once again!! The date has been set for Oct. 8, from 5-7. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be serving fish, hushpuppies, cole slaw and all the trimmings. You have been so faithful in the past to come and support our cause at Dunlap Retirement Center, so hopefully nothing will change this year. You are all invited. There is no charge for the fish plates, but we do ask, if you can to please give a donation. There will be containers on each table to make it convenient for everyone

and also at the beginning of the food line. We will have our usual Christian gospel singing groups joining us, so we would love for you to come and be feed spiritually and physically there with us. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about is spending time with like-minded Christians and having fellowship as much as possible. Here, you will have that opportunity. So please mark your calendars now for Oct. 8, Saturday night 5-7p.m. Its right there by the Covington Golf Course, so come on out and eat supper with us and enjoy some good Christian music. I already know that wonderful group Three for Thee will be there sharing with us those uplifting songs. And, by the way, the guys now have their first DVD out and they will have it available that night, the cost is $15 each and believe me, YOU WILL BE BLESSED! Until next week, love the Lord and love each other!

Randolph United Methodist Church - will host the ''Miracle Singers" from the Baddour Center, this Sunday night at 7 p.m. Everyone is invited to attend. An amusing thing happened to my daughter the other week. She and her 13-year-old daughter went shoe shopping. They were in the shoe store, she was trying on shoes. She put on a pair of shoes and went walking around in the shoe store to see is they were good walking shoes. She told here daughter to watch her shoes. Well the daughter and her cell phone was very busy talking. Well, when my daughter finished her walk she came back to find a lady had on her old shoes. The lady seem to have a speaking/hearing problem. So, she told the lady's husband that those shoes were hers. The lady said she liked her shoes and they just fit. My daughter told her where she bought the shoes. So, the husband apologized for his wife. My granddaughter

got fussed at for not looking after her mother's old shoes! I had a procedure the other week. I had to drink a gallon of stuff. Colonscopy - they found 3 polops - and removed them. I have been under the weather and in pain for several weeks. I think I am about to get back to normal. At my age, these little things... turn into BIG things! We are enjoying going to Elm Grove U. Methodist Church. We have three apple trees in our back yard. They are just loaded with apples. We gave some to our neighbor, Annette and Dick Hanks. Today, about noon, here they come down to our home with a fresh hot apple pie. We had some for dessert. It was so good. Thanks to Annette and Dick. If any one would like some free apples, just come by to see us. Elm Grove will be having their annual revival Sept. 18, 19, & 20. The Circuit Riders will bring the message and music each night. We will have light refreshment each night. Y'ALL COME!

Night Friday and saw the best movie! Seven Days in Utopia, which we hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even heard of. Stars the little boy from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Slingbladeâ&#x20AC;? all grown up, but with the same Southern accent, and Robert Duvall. Rated G and not a curse word in it, or even an innuendo. Great movie, especially if you like golf! But I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t and I loved it anyway! Dove hunting has started. Been hearing guns going off all around! Good luck, hunters! I spent Saturday baking, all day. Liz and I are starting a bakery and are going for our business license tomorrow. Excited! Sunday James and I went to a new Japanese restaurant in Millington with Michelle and Evan Nowak. Great place! If you like Saitoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, call me and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tell you where it is! Wonderful! We have a â&#x20AC;&#x153;dry runâ&#x20AC;? Sunday night for our cruise luggage to make sure we can get it all into the cars we are taking. Wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be long now! Ladies Retreat is September 16-18 at Paris Landing. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always fun and we look forward to it every year. Kenneth Mason had surgery last week and is recovering. Grant Edmonds was at church yesterday, praise God. Everyone was so glad to see him! Then when we were fixing to leave church, preacher Mike

Elaine Watkins

A cool Monday night, following a cool Monday! Love it but know it will get warm again. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always warm at the end of September. Loving this though - 70â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and 50â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s after all the over100 degree heat index we had this summer. Great! I may even get some weed-eating done. This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Farm Report: Corn is about shelled, cotton is popping open and beans are turning gold. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crop will be history in no time. Got a half inch of rain Sunday but we were in town when it was raining during church and at supper and they got a lot more rain North of us. But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re glad to get what we got. Not the 4-6 inches the weatherman had us in Friday though, from Lee! My sincere sympathy goes to the family and all the friends of Jim Johnson, who passed away last week. Gloria and the rest of the family have my prayers. He was a great businessman and will be missed by many. Lyla has had a case of viral croup and Liz and I carried her to the doctor last Tuesday. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all better now, following a few days of steroids. She had quite a fever when we took her. Michelle Nowah, Bonnie Glass, Cammy Evans and I went for Dinner and Movie

Rogers went to the front and announced that Bill Lawrence had been found. What a wonderful Sunday morning! Many prayers answered. I have been remiss in asking for prayers for Lucy Krull, but she is surely in my prayers, along with all our servicemen and women, especially those National Guardsmen who just left for Kuwait. Also pray about our upcoming presidential election in 2012. A KIX Devotional and Wiffle Ball Game will be at the home of David and Sherri Kidd on September 11th. Havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thought of wiffle ball in years!

Cards, Chargers renew rivalry Friday Brighton has won last four games over Chargers

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com The Covington-Brighton football series has been pretty one-sided of late. Brighton has won four in a row, the last three by a combined score of 98-20, including last year's 47-6 Cardinal win. Covington head coach Marty Wheeler said his team appeared a little overwhelmed last year before the game even started. But considering the Chargers enter Friday night's home game against the Cardinals at 3-0, he believes his team's pre-game outlook will be different this year. “The kids have worked hard to restore pride in the program,” Wheeler said. “It's not

hard to get the kids motivated for this game.” Covington enters the game minus a couple of major contributors. Running back Terence Pierson is expected to miss at least a couple more games with a shoulder injury. The Covington coaching staff received some bad news last week when doctors said that Carlos Williams, the team's leading rusher and primary big-play threat, is out for the season with a torn labrum. “We'll take the guys we have,” Wheeler said. “They have to accept the challenge.” Brighton (1-1) enters the game coming off a bye week. Junior quarterback Brady Stewart threw six touchdown passes two weeks ago in a blowout win over Raleigh-Egypt. Ricky Foster, the team's preseason all-state

wide receiver, has four touchdown receptions this year. “This is probably the most talented Brighton team I've seen since I've been here,” Wheeler said. “They put their best players in space and see if you're good enough to contain them.” In other county games: Munford (1-2) travels to Millington (2-0) Friday night for the annual M and M Bowl. Millington beat Munford 49-7 last year. “I told our players nobody gives us a chance in this game,” Munford coach Matt Saunders said. “But we don't care what other people think.” Tipton-Rosemark (0-2) travels to Bishop Byrne (0-2) in a Division II-A-West matchup Friday night.

Huge win

Cougars pick up key league victory over Tigers By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com In the hours leading up to Munford's District 13-AAA opener Friday night at home against Hardin County, Cougar coach Matt Saunders noticed something about his players' demeanor. “They were the most calm, the most prepared I had ever seen them before a game,” said Saunders. “I don't know why. I think it was confidence.” That state of mind proved to be helpful. Munford shook off a Hardin County touchdown on the opening kickoff to rally for a 42-28 win. “To start off the game down 7-0, I think in the past our team would have folded,” Saunders said. “I was pleased to see the way we respond-

ed.” Leading 20-14 at the half, Munford made a statement early in the second half. On the Cougars' first play from scrimmage in the third quarter, Cedric Williams broke a 75yard run to the Hardin County three-yard line. D'Marious Exum, who led Munford with 171 yards on 17 carries, took it in from there. A twopoint conversion run by Hunter Harden gave Munford a 28-14 lead. Hardin County (0-2) scored on a nine-yard run by Nathan Morton midway through the fourth quarter to trim the lead to 35-28, but a 19yard touchdown run by Exum, his fourth of the game, followed and put the game out of reach. Exum scored on a 14-yard run late in the

second quarter and on a nine-yard run in the third quarter. Senior Stephen Stewart, who took the majority of the snaps at quarterback, scored Munford's first touchdown of the game with a five-yard run and also caught a 17-yard touchdown pass from wide receiver Derek Howell. Williams finished with 140 yards on 12 carries as Munford rolled up a season-high 375 rushing yards. The win marks the first time in Saunders' three-year tenure that the Cougars have started the district slate 1-0. “We talked to the kids about focusing on this and not our overall record,” Saunders said. “We wanted to get on top. It feels good to be ahead at 1-0 in the district.”

Covington rallies late past Dyersburg By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com

It was not a thing of beauty. However, a game Covington Charger squad proved its detractors wrong Friday night at home, stepping up for fallen teammates to score 21 points in the fourth quarter to move to 3-0 for the first time since 2006 in a come-from-behind 21-8 District 13-AA win over Dyersburg. After a mistake-filled first half that saw CHS squander two good scoring opportunities, Dyersburg appeared ready to salt the game away with less than four minutes left in the third period. Leading 8-0 on a lone first-

half score, the Trojans set up shop at the CHS 12-yard line after an errant punt snap sailed high over the Charger punter’s head. A third lost Trojan fumble at the CHS 10-yard line with 1:45 remaining left in the third ended the threat as Delvin Russell came away with the ball. Johnston White dropped the pitch-out on the ensuing first down play, but recovered to gain five yards. Colliar Robinson galloped to the Trojan 41 on the next snap. Four plays and two Trojans offside penalties later gave Charger quarterback Britt Dunn his first touchdown pass of the year, an 11-yarder to Carlos Burton. A two-point conSEE CHARGERS, PAGE A19

SOCCER ROUNDUP

Lady Chargers defeat Peabody By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com The Covington Lady Chargers posted two big district wins early last week before falling to Millington 3-1. Trenton Peabody fell to the Chargers, 8-0, on Covington’s turf. Gabby Glenn, Sarah Anne Franklin and Anne Marie Van Cleve had a pair of goals

each. J’La Brandon and Hannah Howard each added a goal. Kamesha Van Pelt, who returned from a high ankle sprain, and Franklin pitched in three assists apiece. Sheridan Slough had an assist and Callie McDaniel had two saves. CHS fell to the Millington Lady Trojans 3-1 on Sept. 1 at Millington. Van Cleve scored the lone goal for Covington.

“I’m telling you that I love my roster from the starters to the bench,” said CHS head coach Robert Luttrell. “This is the most athletic group with the most potential that I have had since I have been here ... Just look at us in week 16 and see who we are.” Covington (3-2-1) hosts Martin Westview in a district match today at 5:30 p.m. at Crestview.

Brighton, Munford pick up wins By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com The Brighton Lady Cardinal soccer team took a few days off to regroup, and it seemed to pay off with wins over Cordova and Ridgeway. Brighton (2-0-1) got goals from Courtney Carpenter and Amanda McKinley on Monday at home to defeat Ridgeway 2-0. “We controlled the flow of the game and had 16 shots on goal,” Brighton coach Sharri Garrett said. “We had taken four days off and this was a good win as we prepare to open district play at home

on Thursday against Dyer County.” Brighton, which controlled the ball for 59 minutes of the game, got on the board in the 24th minute when Taylor Holland fed Carpenter. MaKenzie Bohatch assisted on McKinely's 60th minute goal to all but put the game away. Last Thursday Brighton traveled to Cordova and picked up a dramatic 2-1 win. Alex Lowe assisted Taylor in the 78th minute to tie the game at 1-1 and Kelsi Williams got the game winner 24 minutes later on an assist from Carpenter.

“We played a great second half, finished our shots and controlled the tempo,” Garrett said. “We were able to get some of our younger players some game experience and that will help us down the road … In both outings are defense played superb.” In other action: Munford traveled to Memphis on Tuesday and picked up a 3-0 win over Wooddale to move to 2-2-2 on the season. Amie Beaman led the Lady Cougars with a pair of goals in the first half. The first came on a cross from Maggie Billings. The second goal was SEE SOCCER, PAGE A19

Turnovers undo TRA By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Five turnovers were too much for Tipton-Rosemark to overcome Friday night at home against Fayette Academy. One of the Rebels' four lost fumbles came early in the second quarter with the Rebels driving for a score that would have trimmed the deficit to seven points. Moments later Josh Johnson hooked up with Marcus Miller on a 62-yard touchdown pass to put Fayette Academy up by three touchdowns. The Vikings

scored three more times in the final 3:07 of the second quarter and went on to win 48-0. “I was disappointed in our execution, especially on offense,” TRA coach Dodd Gengenbach. “Turnovers, once again, were a problem.” Johnson had a big game for the Vikings (1-2), completing 6 of 8 passes for 148 yards and three touchdowns. In addition to turnovers, big plays killed TRA. The Vikings finished with four scoring plays of 40 yards or more. Offensively, the Rebels were SEE TRA, PAGE A19

demning them. You'll also doom yourself to a life of solitary confinement because no one will want to come near you. Let God be God by receiving his forgiveness and becoming a channel of forgiveness. "Forgiveness pleases God, and I like to please God," says Marcy, 6. Think about this: Jesus gave his life for our forgiveness. Memorize this truth: "Forgive as the Lord forgave you" (Colossians 3:13). Ask this question: If we've received the Lord's forgiveness to enter heaven, shouldn't we forgive offenses against us on Earth?

COMMENTARY

In desperate need of His presence By FREEMAN WEEMS Special to The Leader Pragmatism has its place in our life. We use it many times a day. It is when pragmatism becomes the leading spiritual principle that problems quickly arise. Every pastor I know is interested in seeing his church grow. We do not all use the same methods, nor even apply the ones upon which we agree exactly the same way. All churches are unique and must function within their cultural setting. However, that does not allow us to do as we please in the matter of worship. In the Old Testament, the Lord established a standard of worship. So strict was that standard that some died because they transgressed it. Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron died when they offered strange fire before the Lord. Uzzah

to show forgiveness and grace to others. Jesus said he didn't come into the world to condemn the world, and neither should we. In Jesus' day, Jewish tax collectors for Rome were considered cheats and traitors to Israel. Religious people were shocked when Jesus dined with them. Jesus said the sick are the ones who need a physician. One of the "sick," Matthew the tax collector, became well by receiving Jesus' forgiveness. He then left a life of greed to follow Jesus as one of his 12 apostles. "Forgiveness is important because if you don't get forgiveness, you will be without love," says Karoline, 9. We must forgive "so we can become like God," says Casey, 8. Yes, be like God and forgive, or you'll set yourself up as a god and crush people by judging and con-

Teaching children about forgiveness: how many times do we forgive? Then Peter came and said to Him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Up to seven times?" Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven." - Matthew 18:21-22

Why is forgiveness so important? "Because you're 6 years old," says Jessica, age 6. Whether 6 or 60, everyone needs forgiveness. "I don't know what that is, but my mom and dad do, says Trey, 6. I'm glad for your mom and dad, Trey, but I hope by the end of this column, you'll know, too. "Forgiveness is important because everyone makes mistakes," says Erike, 10. "If you didn't forgive them, you wouldn't have any friends." Also, adds Adriane, 10, "If there was no forgiveness, the whole world would be mad." Adriane, I'm not sure whether you mean "mad" as in angry or "mad" as in cuckoo, but either would fit. Holding on to a grudge will drive you bonkers. "If you hit someone, you have to say 'excuse me,'" says Brandon, 6. "If you hit someone in the stomach, you have to say 'sorry.'" Brandon, if someone hits you back, you may not get a chance to say "excuse me" or "sorry." "Forgiveness solves the whole problem, and you don't get into a fight," concludes Carson, 6. If you forgive, "you can keep friends and families," says Justin, 10. "You can be happy, not grumpy." And who wants to be around Grumpy? Unless you're playing a part in "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," you'll do everyone a great favor by being cheerful and forgiving. A man once said that whenever his wife gets mad, she gets historical. A memory for past wrong isn't limited to one gender. Men do it, too. "If Jesus had not forgiven us, we would not have the opportunity of eternal life," says Mary, 11. "Jesus showed us forgiveness by dying and suffering on the cross. What can you do to show forgiveness?" Christians should ask every day. Because our sins have been forgiven, we should be looking for ways

died because he put his hands on the ark when Israel was moving it in an unscriptural manner. God is serious about this principle of worship. The Puritans of old, much maligned in our day, were very strong on simple, spiritual worship. They pointed out the errors of the day, one of which, was the use of fancy, ornate, manpleasing services. It appears that we have not changed much in the last 400 years. Man still craves that which is pleasing to the eye while God is looking at man’s heart as he worships. If we are enraptured by the music and the ambiance of the building in which we worship, instead of being enraptured with the beauty of Christ are we not guilty of carnality? How should we worship? The Lord Himself said that we are to Need help getting

worship in spirit and in truth. There is nothing wrong with having padded pews, sufficient heating and air conditioning, or nice sound systems. It is when those things become front and center that we have strayed from the biblical model. We can ill afford to forget the art of worship. Our generation is in desperate need of the presence of God. The generation coming behind us, and their children, will know little if any of old time religion if we do not fasten our hearts on Jesus. At all costs, we must hold to truth. No matter how hard it gets nor who it affects, truth cannot be sacrificed for comfort. Without it, worship is mere vanity. The other Lord spoke of worshipping Him “in the spirit." Certainly that includes the idea of enthusiasm. The deaf-

ness that permeates so many churches is a sure turn-off to sinners. Why should they be moved by that which never brings a tear to our eye nor a lump in our throat as we ponder the majesty of our Christ. Let us throw off the deadness of formality! Instead of worshipping the style and form of our worship let us make sure that we are truly worshipping the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Do not be afraid of a little holy emotion. The psalmist wrote that his heart was “indicting a good matter.” That means that his heart was literally boiling over. May that be true of all the Lord’s people this coming Lord’s Day. Freeman Weems is the pastor of First Baptist Atoka.

COMMENTARY

Extremism fueling budget battle By TOM EHRICH Religion News Service Religious extremists have gone from raging against abortion clinics and modern science to shaping American fiscal policy and rewriting the way Washington does politics. Heaven help us. A tragic three-way marriage has occurred. One party is middleclass rage, which Tea Party string-pullers have cleverly directed against immigrants and government rather than their actual enemy, the predatory rich. The second is racial bigotry, which cannot accept the legitimacy of a black president. The third is hard-core Christian fundamentalism, which had lost its way in idolatry of right opinion. Out of this three-way union of utter certainty has come a class of politicians who start at an extreme position and say no to anything else – and keep saying no until they get their way. If this continues unchecked, their absolutism and disregard for freedom will be come national policy.

(901) 605-8637 (901) 313-9282

This is a dangerous moment. Responsible adults in Congress and state legislatures have abandoned ship. Over the many weeks of debtlimit wrangling, even the president surrendered. Citizens raised on common sense and happy endings are unprepared for this extremist onslaught. It is so nonsensical and anti-American, how could it possibly go anywhere? Well, watch it happen. With no serious countervailing force, religious extremism will drive the U.S. economy to its knees, while thanking God for the will to stand firm for "righteousness." It will ferment the kinds of right wing, anti-immigrant violence that is spreading across Europe and blaming the victims for the crime of being non-white newcomers. It will paralyze political structures at every level and take sweet delight in being right even as roads crumble, schools collapse, pensions go unpaid, the poor suffer, and a nation built on optimism and a can-do attitude turns sour of mood and hope-

less if spirit. Reality means little to the religious extremist. Compromise is off-limits when "God's will" is at stake. The maturity and wisdom of listening to people, finding common ground and working together for the common good are denounced as weak. The pathology of religious extremism is a familiar story. Otherwise decent people get caught up in powerful convictions that leave no room for nuance or other points of view. The typical scenario is this: “I believe. I believe so strongly that my belief becomes the center of my life. I cannot bear to be around people who don't believe as I do. Those people are wrong, indeed they are evil. They are dangerous to true believers and must be removed. I am called as a true believer to get rid of them. I can use whatever means I want. I am right, and God rewards me for it." Most believers get off this train to destruction. Their faith takes the expression of love, not the right opinion

and in that love; they understand other points of view as different, not evil. Extremists don't get this message of love, just the ego-flattering messages that they are right and everybody else is wrong. The religious extremist's identity, ego and life purpose are tied up in being right. There is no room for compromise, just a relentless drive toward violence in word and deed. I keep waiting for responsible grown-ups in government to re-establish the rule of law. But they seem intimidated. As far as I can tell, religious extremists are a small minority in American. They don't represent the majority's faithfulness or patriotism. But the majority must speak up. Tom Ehrich is a writer, church consultant and Episcopal priest based in New York.
