Triumphant: Munford band ranks second in nation T

his weekend, the Munford High School band showed it has what it takes to be triumphant, even when competing against bands from all over the nation. The band competed against 95 other high school bands in the USSBA national championships in Annapolis, Md. on Nov. 8. Munford took second place and only .2 points separated the band from a national title. The band won best percussion, best visual and, being the band who best represented Marine Corps values, the band also won the coveted Esprit de Corps award for professionalism, pride and patriotism. This year’s show, the Emergence of Triumph, was dedicated to the

memory of Mr. Doug Van Neste, an MHS teacher who died earlier this school year. During final rehearsals for nationals, band members learned of the loss of another longtime band supporter and MHS staff member, Mrs. Connie Vaughn. Band members decided the chimes played at the start of the show would be in her honor. The last of over 500 hours of rehearsing and over 3,000 gallons of Gatorade started Sunday morning at 7:30 a.m. Central time. Band members ran a couple of laps, then broke out into sections to begin their day. Three hours later, they were ready to play. Students and chaperones had a SEE BAND, PAGE A2

Local troops ask for cookies By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com The holidays are a stressful time and for those serving abroad and away from their families, even more so. To help bring a touch of home to a desert full of sand, the men of Task Force Chaos, currently serving in Afghanistan, are asking for ... cookies. In a desperate attempt to have cookies sent to them, the members of the team have come up with a scheme to have cookies sent to them by devising the first-ever cookie bake-off. “We were sitting around the operation center at our homemade table (a sheet of plywood on boxes) and we were lamenting the fact that no one had received any cookies from home for awhile,” wrote Master Sergeant Randy McKee of Brighton. “So after hours of listening to hours of exhaustive testimony from loved ones and friends about their family members baking skills, we decided to hold a contest.”

McKee said the rules are simple. “Once the cookies arrive, the contest committee will be assembled and the entry will be sampled as soon as possible to insure freshness,” he wrote. “The results will be recorded and kept in our hermetically sealed U.S. government approved safe.” Although all cookies will be accepted, the committee is specifically looking for cookies in the following categories: chocolate chip, sugar, oatmeal, peanut butter, and specialty (fudge, brownies, divinity (mom), etc.) Contestants can submit an entry in one or all categories. Entries will be judged for quality, texture, freshness, ingredients, uniformity, size and quantity. At the completion of the contest, the overall grand champion, as well as the five category winners, will be announced and notified of their awards. McKee said due to the number of committee members it is suggested that a two dozen minimum be subSEE COOKIES, PAGE A3

COVINGTON – Three burglary suspects are in custody after leading law enforcement officers on an hourslong foot pursuit Tuesday afternoon. Just after noon, deputies were dispatched to the 800 block of Yarbrough Road, near Covington, after a reported burglary. As deputies responded to the area, Tipton County Sheriff J.T. “Pancho” Chumley was also patrolling

and located a suspicious vehicle on Rhodes Lane, off of Yarbrough. As Chumley approached the vehicle to identify the driver, three occupants fled the vehicle on foot across nearby cotton fields. The driver, who was later identified as Marquise D e a n g e l o Middlebrooks, 21, of 273 Ervin Lane in Covington, physically resisted arrest by attempting to flee, but was captured after a short foot

Extreme rain has affected quality of harvest By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com In the wake of the above average rainfall and a mild summer, harvesting has not been easy this season. Though it should have already been completed, said David Templeton Sr., he and other farmers are still working to get their crops out of the field. “Normally we harvest in September, but we lost our best harvest days in most of September and October because it rained so much,” he said. “We’re about halfway through.”

Action News 5 Chief Meteorologist Dave Brown said rainfall totals for September were 8.59 inches, which is 5.28 inches above normal. In October, the area received 10.56 inches of rain, 7.25 inches above normal. October 2009 was the wettest October on record. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the extreme rainfall caused serious harvest delays of three weeks or more behind normal pace. The longer crops remain in fields, the more their quality declines. The USDA said some growers SEE RAIN, PAGE A2

BAND Continued from Page A1 20-hour bus ride to get to nationals, but it wasn’t all work. The band had a personal invitation to the White House. After a 2.5hour wait, they were able to see the president in his motor-

cade as he left, then returned to the White House where he addressed Congress regarding the healthcare bill. Band members visited the East, Green, Red, Blue and China rooms in the White House, along with the Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, World War

II Memorial, Lincoln Memorial and took a nighttime windshield tour of Washington, D.C. Over 110 tickets were sold for Munford supporters in attendance, along with the 169 band members and their chaperones. On Friday, Nov. 13, the band will host a free community showing of their award-winning

national championship show. The purpose of the program is to thank the community and all area supporters. The show begins at 7 p.m. at the Munford High School stadium. For more information, please call 901-837-0123.

RAIN Continued from Page A1 reported experiencing difficulties with getting bolls to open and others having hard, locked bolls and some boll rot. Consistent moisture has led to increased instances of seed sprouting, molding and rotting in soybean pods. Those who grow corn have reported quality issues such as sprouting in the ear. “There’s been excess moisture in the grain and some people are not able to take it,” Templeton said, speaking of elevators which process grains. “We’re doing pretty good right now, we just need the pretty weather to hold on for a few more weeks.” The USDA said the rain may have compromised the quality of some crops, but quantity doesn’t seem to be an issue. Forecasts, which are based on farmers’ projections of final yields as of the first of the months, showed corn at 139 bushels per acre, up from 21 bushels in 2008; cotton at 926 pounds per acre, up

Templeton, who farms all over the county with his sons David and Brad, predominantly plants grains like corn and soybeans. Like many of Tipton County’s farmers, he used to grow cotton, but changed his crop when cotton prices declined. “The cotton farmers are having

a tough time,” said Templeton. “They barely had enough heat to mature the crop and then all of this rain.” Despite the problems and the delay in harvest, Templeton keep a positive outlook. “We can salvage the crop and deal with these problems,” he said. “We not in near as bad shape as others. There’s always someone who has it worse.”

Former businessman indicted on tax evasion charges By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com

MUNFORD – A former convenience store owner was indicted last week for sales tax evasion and theft, officials with the Tennessee Department of Revenue released last week. Indictments allege Kawaljeet “Sonny” Bains, 36, former owner of HKS Fuel, Inc., filed false and fraudulent sales tax returns and intentionBains ally failed to remit nearly $60,750 of collected sales tax between May 2006 and December 2007. “The Department of Revenue promotes voluntary taxpayer compliance by educating taxpayers, aggressively pursuing criminal sanctions and demanding accountability when taxpayers engage in fraudulent activity,” said Revenue Commissioner Reagan Farr. “This

investigation underscores our department’s ongoing efforts to enforce Tennessee’s tax laws.” Bains was arrested at his Collierville home last week by special agents of the Department of Revenue and officers with the Collierville Police Department. Bains managed the Franklin Square Market convenience store, which is located at the corner of Beaver Road and Reeder Avenue. The store is now under new management. If convicted, Bains faces up to two years imprisonment and a $3,000 fine on each of the Class E felony accounts and 12 years imprisonment and $25,000 in fines for the Class B felony count. Additional civil taxes, penalties and interest will be due to the state. This case was pursued criminally by the department in cooperation with Tipton County District Attorney Mike Dunavant’s office. The Department of Revenue is responsible for the administration of state tax laws and motor vehicle

title and registration laws established by the legislature and the collection of taxes and fees associated with those laws. The Department of Revenue collects approximately 92 percent of total state tax revenue. During the 2008-2009 fiscal year, the department collected $10.2 billion in state taxes and fees. In addition to collecting state taxes, $1.9 billion of local sales tax was collected by the department for local governments during the 2008-2009 fiscal year. Besides collecting taxes, the department enforces the revenue laws fairly and impartially in an effort to encourage voluntary taxpayer compliance. The department also apportions revenue collections for distribution to the various state funds and local units of government. To learn more about the department, log on to www.TN.gov/revenue.

Portion of road to be closed, financial statement requested By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com

The section of Holly Grove Road from Melrose to Highway 51 South will be closed from 9 a.m. Friday, Nov. 20 until some time on Sunday, Nov. 22. for culvert repairs. “At Holly Grove Road and Quail Creek intersection, the culvert there is significantly sinking,” explained Public Works Director Robert Martin Simpson to the City of Covington Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Tuesday night during its regularly scheduled meeting. “We’re going to replace that culvert. Our plan is to start on Friday, Nov. 20 at 9 a.m. If everything goes the way it should with the contractor, we’ll be back open in two days.” Simpson told the board there would be signs posted by Monday, Nov. 16 notifying residents of the upcoming work and the detour route. The minutes of the Finance andAdministration Committee addressed the city’s attendance policy for employees. Covington city mayor David Gordon appointed a subcommittee, consisting of Aldermen Shelvie Rose,

PURSUIT Continued from Page A1 Leigh’s Chapel Road and Yarbrough Road and during the next few hours, two other suspects were located in nearby corn and cotton fields and arrested. These subjects were identified as Travoi Middlebrooks, 18, of 794 Wooten Road in Covington, and Nathan Cook, 19, of 150 Peeler Street in Covington. At press time, a suspect identified as Jeremy Leniel Middlebrooks, 18, of 273 Ervin Lane, was still at large. He is being sought for questioning in the incident. Officials said Marquise and Travoi Middlebrooks are brothers. Jeremy Middlebrooks is their cousin. While the search for the suspects was being conducted, it was discovered two other residences on Yarbrough Road were also burglarized. “They should know better than to mess with Tipton Countians,” Chumley said at the scene. “These people are home and they are watching!” Detectives began processing the crime scenes and stolen property was recovered in cotton fields. The items stolen include a television, firearms and ammunition. Assisting in the ground search for the

Tommy Black and William Scruggs to study the policy and report back to the committee with their recommendations. Gordon also reported the city was going to direct deposit for city employees and they were working with BancorpSouth on the transfer and banking requirements. Financial statement request of Frazier Alumni Association Alderman Rose asked the Board of Mayor and Aldermen for an audit of the Frazier Alumni Association. “I have great interest from citizens dealing with the Frazier Alumni Association, people from all over the city, many people from all over the county and many people

from various states,” began Rose. “And I would like to go on record tonight, Nov. 10, to say I would like to have a financial report of revenue of all incoming monies and expenses for the years of 2008 and 2009 and I’d like that by Nov. 30, no later than closing time.” Alderman Tommy Black asked Rose if his request was a motion to which Rose replied he could make it a motion and he did. “I’d be glad to second that,” said Black. “But, Mr. Mayor, Mr. Forrester, do we have the right to request that?” “Don’t know,” responded City Attorney T.D. Forrester. “I think it’s legal that you can ask, but I’m not sure that they

would be compelled to do it.” After much discussion, board members approved the motion to ask for the financial statement of the Frazier Alumni Association. Rose also asked for a special invitation to be extended to Northwest Tipton County Head Start to participate in the annual Christmas Parade. “I would like a special invitation coming from City Hall asking them to participate,” said Rose. “I would like to see my little boys and girls at Head Start have an opportunity be in the parade. I can put that in a motion if you would like.” “I don’t think you need a motion for that,” said Black. “We invite every-

Realizing the significance of Veterans Day

Veterans Day, formally known as Armistice Day, has been a federal holiday since 1919. In was established to recognize the end of World War I; the signing of the armistice between the Allies and Germany on the “eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.” Today, the name has changed as has the meaning. No longer is it a day to recognize only the sacrifices of veterans of World War I, but a day to recognize the sacrifices of veterans of all wars for many countries. The day holds special meaning for me, and every year

the day grows in importance as I get older. To be honest, when I was a young Sailor, it meant getting a day off, usually a three-day weekend. Those days have come and gone and although many S HERRI still feel that way today, I’m sure the majority of them are youngsters, who, like I did back then, don’t realize the true significance of the day. Serving in the military has helped me to understand the importance of

our veterans. The sacrifices they and their families have made for our way of life. I come from a long line of veterans, both American and British, who have fought on both O NORATI sides of the pond. My my sixth-great grandfather and uncles fought during the Revolutionary War and I have uncles who fought during the BoerWar. During WWI, my great-great-uncle, Philip Archibald Tatem, was 24

JUST MY VIEW

years old when he left his home in Bermuda with the Bermuda Volunteer Rifle Corps and joined the Lincolnshire Regiment in France. He was killed on Sept. 25, 1916, during the Battle of the Somme after heavy fighting. His body was never identified, but he is honored on the Thiepval Memorial to the Missing in Somme, France. My paternal great-grandfather also served during WWI as a part of the Canadian Expeditionary Forces. My maternal grandfather was a prisoner of war during World War II in Germany, while my paternal grandfather

guarded German prisoners of war sent to Bermuda. My uncle Larry fought in Vietnam and my brother, Brian, served in Iraq during Desert Storm and he once again finds himself in Iraq today. I married a career Marine and my oldest son and future daughterin-law have both joined the Tennessee National Guard. I am proud of my family’s contributions to our great nation and to the countries they have called home. I am also proud of those whom I call friend and those I don’t know personally. Without their sacrifice, I

Watch and try it Once a year the big Mid-South Fair came to Memphis. All my friends from the metropolis of Rosemark had to attend as the country boys are going to the far off city. For weeks in advance the parents bribed all the little hedge hoppers with be good and maybe, just maybe I’ll carry you to the fair. (Later determined as Socialistic guv’mint or Southernese bribery). It worked. Momma and Daddy looked forward to the fair as much as the kids. Paul, Lynn, Emerson, Arvis, Don, Wayne, Tommy, Phil and sometimes more motor in the pickup bed, hold on the side rails, bump over the pot holes and finally arrive at the fairgrounds. All the kids would tour the runway eatin’ and trying to win prizes. We didn’t have any luck, but we got close. Ever hear that? Momma liked to view the quilts, the cooking shows, and the fruit exhibitions and do some O TIS G RIFFIN comparing. Momma’s fixings was always the best anyway. Daddy shuffled to the livestock shows, conversing, comparing and listening about the newest feeds and veterinarian cures. The main course was the rodeo with the bareback riding, calf roping, clowns and the real live actual way out west cowboys with spurs on their boots and big white hats just like in the Saturday picture shows. Right away detective Paul exclaims, “they ain’t got their guns or cattle ropes.” Lynn intellectually said, “there ain’t no crooks at rodeos.” Good enough for me. We watched all the riding, roping and mostly falling with clowns running every which a way. The clowns had painted faces and they’d flag the bulls with red to’ sacks and jump in a barrel if the monster got too close. Fun and funny! All the kids would sit together gouging each other with promises to throw one another over the fence and on top of a wild bull so you had to stay wide awake. We got to ‘double dog daring’ each other if they would ride a wild bareback horse or a Brahma bull. No one wanted to be called a chicken or worse yet teased to be a ‘sissy’. Many years later sitting on the front porch reliving this decades earlier fair fiasco brought a wide grin to Daddy, and a famous subdued giggle from Momma. This while she was sewing thread flossing her molars as she rocked back and forth. After the rodeo, headed to the truck, Daddy loudly asked all of us kids if each had a good time? We bellowed out we did. Then he wanted to know if anyone thought they could ride a bull? Well we couldn’t say no after all the bragging on the bleachers so in unison we hollered, Yess Suhhh! Daddy finished, “well maybe we’ll try it sometime.” We all agreed to be the next Tim Holt, Roy, Gene and Tom Mix. The rodeo subject soon wore thin shortly after our trip home. Looks like nothing was gonna happen. Daddy reminded me years afterward the subject came up at the breakfast table one Saturday morning. At this time my grandmother was visiting, taking in all this conversation and proudly reminding us about her experiences at the fair centuries ago. Daddy rared back in his kitchen chair gnawing on a juicy middling rind and checking after each tasty crunch with, “I’ll tell you what I’ll do.” “Bo do you think you can stay on and ride for eight seconds?” Stupidly I replied, “sure, ’cause we all said we could do it.” “Well if you do, I’ll give you a brand new fresh dollar bill.” Excitedly I jumped up from the kitchen table with, “I’m gonna be a riding cowboy and get rich too”….GLORY!

Construction set to begin on Tracy Road bridge By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com ATOKA – Next week bridge construction will begin on Tracy Road and residents are urged to find alternate routes. Working to replace the bridge near Meade Lake Road, crews will begin construction on Monday, Nov. 16. The current wooden bridge, built in 1965, is 77 feet long and 25 feet wide and has a 25 ton weight limit.

The new bridge, city officials said, will be comprised of reinforced concrete, will be 85 feet long and meet state highway standards. The bridge was designed by A2H - Askew Hargraves Harcourt & Associates, INC. and will be built by Chris-Hill Construction Co., LLC. The bridge will cost approximately $481,459 to build, with the Town of Atoka responsible for 20 percent. The remaining 80 percent will be funded through a grant. The project is not expected to be completed until the end of January 2010.

undeniable facts are glaring you straight in the face and hopefully frightening you as much it does me. Simply re-read the definition above and look at what has happened over the past year. Government has taken over ownership or control of 30 percent of our entire economy already and if they are successful at taking over our health care that percentage will be above 47 percent. This is communist takeover at incredible speed and this cannot legally happen within the limits of our constitution. If you are cheerleading this regime wake up before it’s too late, you’re not going to like the end result. If you are unconcerned, see a doctor, you may be brain dead. If you are outraged call your congressmen right now and express it. tell them it is their responsibility by their oath of office to stop it.

BRIGHTON – Donn Janes, Republican candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in West Tennessee’s 8th Congressional district decided back in June of 2009 to stand up for what he believes in. He did so by announcing his run against John Tanner, a 22-year incumbent in District 8, for House of Representatives. This weekend Mr. Janes

VIEW Continued from Page A4 A couple of weeks ago I received a sobering comment from my brother on Facebook. He said, “I believe hell is empty, as pure evil walks the earth here in Iraq.” But even with that knowledge, he truly believes in what he and his until are doing to help the Iraqi people. Monday I received an email from a good friend serving in Afghanistan. I would like to share with you what he said as Randy has a way with words that reminds you of the bigger picture. When you see a veteran, please remember to thank a them for their service, for without them our country would not be the land of the free! Hey Sherri, How ya doing? Good I hope. We got the word that a major winter storm system was moving into our area tonight so I went outside tonight to just look at the sky. It was clear and one thing really neat about Afghanistan is that there is so little man made light that literally every star in the galaxy is visible! It’s really incredible. But as I stood there I began to ponder and wonder how many U.S. military service members were around the world tonight looking at this same sky. I went into my little metal box “room” and started to write. Here are the thoughts of this old

warrior as we approach this Veterans Day. I hope you will find a spot in the paper to place this letter as I feel strongly that many people will be able to connect to my thoughts tonight. Thank you for your service and your son’s. “Here I am. Send Me!” How many soldiers have stood and looked at this same sky from all corners of the world for thousands of years and contemplated their destiny and duty? I stand here tonight in this ancient land of Afghanistan and reflect on my actions in the past, present, and tomorrow. How many soldiers have stood on a similar night in a land far away from their homeland and the people they love and re-lived the moments and the memories of past battles and lost friends?

How many... how many I wonder? But I do not know, nor do I need to know. It is more important I know that I am a soldier now and I wear the uniform of the greatest country on Earth, and although I am far away from the land I call home and the people I love; I am not alone for there are thousands of my brothers and sisters in uniform and we share a common bond and oath of duty to that land and it’s citizens. As I stare into this starlit sky, I close my eyes and feel my Lord’s power, strength, and comfort and I know I am not alone. I do not fear what tomorrow’s battle may bring. Whether

it is my lot to die with the first shot fired, or be the last man standing before I too fall, my glory awaits me in heaven at the right hand of God and I shall join my fallen comrades where there is no pain or suffering, only eternal life and peace. On this Veterans Day 2009 I wish for God to bless you and yours and may God bless America! HOOAH!! “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here I am, send me!” - Isaiah 6:8 MSG Randy McKee Task Force Chaos Eastern Afghanistan

took another stand, and that was against the current healthcare bill, that narrowly passed the House with a vote of 220 to 215 on Saturday. Janes attended the "Pink Slip Rally," in Nashville held by statewide Tennessee Tea Party supporters on the Tennessee Capitol steps. The rally was held by the grass roots movement to let incumbent elected officials in the US House and Senate know that if they did not represent their wishes, they would receive a "Pink Slip" one year from now. John Tanner, the incumbent Representative in the 8th district, released a statement late Friday evening stating that he would not support the health care bill. This was only after receiving several thousand phone calls from constituents from across the 8th district demanding that he vote against the legislation. “I am glad to see that Rep. Tanner has chosen not to support this bill, but I am disappointed in his lack of leadership and the fact that he waited until the last possible moment to stand against this irresponsible legislation.

This is indicative of his current leadership style and is that of a career politician. He did the same thing when it came to a stance against Cap and Trade. I am certain he was given permission by Nancy Pelosi to oppose these bills once they acquired the votes needed to pass them,” Mr. Janes stated. Donn Janes is a Navy veteran and businessman. Janes is an outspoken critic of how Republicans and Democrats have both continued to ignore any calls for fiscal responsibility and plunge the United States deeper into debt. Janes vows to set the example for spending in Congress, by not spending frivolously on his campaign. Janes will work to bring jobs to Tennessee, by supporting small businesses which employ the majority of US workers. He has an all volunteer staff, some of which have lost their jobs in this turbulent economy. Janes has stated that he will push for term limits in Congress and will not be a career politician.

To tithe or not to tithe? I DO NOT believe in tithing. Tithing is an Old Testament notion that came from the time when there was no separation between church and state, and what social services there were had to be provided by a combination of the generosity of individuals and that which was provided by the institutional structure of the temple. And that wasn’t much. The biblical tithe also included non-monetary wealth like grain and wine and oil. We have all heard of the “first fruits.” I would not be so totally opposed to tithing if the socalled “biblical 10 percent” included income taxes, government-use fees, private charitable donations and a few other things I could mention, in addition to what we give the church. Additionally, what we give to the church does not equate what we give to God. God and the church are not synonymous, despite what the institutional church sometimes would like us to believe. I suppose that tithing is an okay goal for which to strive at first, but it is in no way the Curtis Tire and Auto Services • Bargain Tires New & Used • Brakes, Tune Ups, Oil Changes • Auto Detailing • Mechanic on Duty • Install Motors Curtis Pettigrew • Install Transmissions Owner

panacea that some purport it to be. I also believe that the notion of the tithe is based upon the wrong question. The tithe is based upon the question: “How much of my wealth should I give to God?” There is a scene in The Lord of the Rings in which Gandalf introduced Pippin to the Lord Denathor of the Realm of Gondor. Gandalf says of Denethor that he has forgotten that he is but a steward, placed in charge until the return of the king. The real question for tithing is the one underlying Gandalf’s description of Lord Denethor: “How much of the personal wealth over which I am but steward can I morally justify keeping for myself?” Now, that question changes the dynamic to that of the traditional monastic notion of poverty. Monks do not as, “How much do I owe?” but, “How much do I really need to keep?” The old canon of the Mass does not say, “And here we present unto thee 10 percent of ourselves, 10 percent of our souls, 10 percent of our bodies, to be a reasonable, holy, liv-

ing sacrifice unto thee.” But it does say, “And here we present unto thee ourselves, our souls and our bodies, to be a reasonable, holy, living sacrifice unto thee.” We do not owe God 10 percent of anything; we owe God 100 percent. The first question is based upon the assumption that we ourselves are responsible for “making” the wealth we have been given, that it “belongs” to us; however, the second question is based upon the assumption that God created everything that is, including our wealth, and we are but stewards of it until the return of the king – our king. Whatever the case may be, one of the most profound moments of the Mass for me is when the bread and wine are brought to the altar, because they are bringing me, too – and not just 10 percent of me either.

Museum made possible by membership The Tipton County Museum, Veterans Memorial and Nature Center opened its doors to the public on Nov. 11, 1998, and over an 11-year period, the museum has grown quite a bit. This growth has been made possible through the continuing support of many groups and individuals. The museum could not exist without annual funding from the board of Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Covington and the Tipton County Legislative Commission. State Representative Jimmy Naifeh has greatly assisted with museum funding by helping to secure state grants for exhibit improvements and educational programming. Funds from the museum's corporate sponsors — Patriot Bank, Bank of Tipton, Clayton Bank and Trust, Spirit Architecture and The Tipton County Veterans Council – have made it possible to upgrade exhibit designs, improve the quality of student field trips, expand opportunities for families, and otherwise enhance the offerings of the museum.

Museum members, known as Friends of the Museum, are the backbone of museum growth. Members of the Tipton County Museum, Veterans Memorial and Nature Center share a dedication to preserve and restore historic collections for the enjoyment and education of present and future generations. "It is just wonderful that we remember our veterans who are currently serving and those who gave the ultimate sacrifice," said K. E. Gene Stockton, an 11-year member of museum. "There is no greater honor for me to say I served in the military." Member support also allows the Tipton County museum to serve visitors and school children with enriching and stimulating tours, public programs, and special events. Annual membership dollars are essential to ensure that necessary funds are available to provide exhibits filled with Tipton County's history and educational programs that are immeasurable in worth to our children and to our community. "During this economic downturn it is wonderful that we have

individuals like Mr. Stockton and others who support the museum," said Alice Fisher, museum director. The levels of annual membership include individual military and senior, $25; family, $30; contributor, $50; philanthropist, $100; benefactor, $200. Museum membership brochures are available at the museum or by mailing requests. For information call 476-0242 or visit the museum website at www.tiptonco.com or wwww.convingtontn.com Museum members enjoy special privileges that include invitations to members - only openings and receptions, membersonly savings on educational programs and workshops, and free admission to museum sponsored events. The most important benefit of becoming a friend of the museum is the fact that membership dollars are helping to support the museum's role as caretaker of Tipton County's rich cultural history and assisting in maintaining one of Tipton County's greatest assets — The Tipton County Museum, Veterans Memorial and Nature Center.

PET OF THE WEEK November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month. We can’t think of a better way to honor a dog’s life than to give it a safe and loving home in its senior years. Lulu is about 8 years old and was brought in by an owner that could no longer afford her care. She has gone through a lot and is in a wonderful foster home until she gets her forever home.There are many benefits in adopting our little senior lady Lulu: She has much calmer energy than a younger dog, require less strenuous exercise, and less often, and she is being housetrained. Lulu is a very sweet and calm dog and literally steals the hearts of everyone she mets. She is fully vaccinated and has been spayed. She did come to us with heartworms, but has recently completed treatment and is doing well. She comes with a veterinarian certificate stating that she has been treated. Lulu is an older dog that requires less training than a pup. She just longs for a loving and safe home for her twilight years! Remember that November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month and we have a sweet one waiting for you! Won’t you consider adopting Lulu and giving her the home she so deserves? If you are interested in adopting Lulu, please go to www.covingtonanimalrescueeffort.com to the “adoption procedure” page. Email the adoption questions to the address on that page and we will contact you in 2-3 days after your application has been reviewed. Or you can contact Sarah Sullivan at 901-634-2392

Veterans Day remembered in Tipton County By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com An armistice between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, Nov. 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.” It was during November 1919, President Woodrow Wilson declared Nov. 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day with the following words: “To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…” Tipton County’s sons and daughters have a proud and vibrant history of serving their country, just as Tipton County has a proud history of recognizing and honoring its veterans throughout the years, including annual Confederate soldiers reunions held on the second Thursday in August in Brighton. The Tipton County Confederate Veterans Reunion began approximately in 1883 when veterans of the 7th Tennessee Cavalry, Confederate States of America, began meeting to reminisce about the war. The reunions soon grew to include all Confederate veterans from the surrounding area, and in 1897 reported an attendance of 15,000. The Tipton County Confederate Veterans Reunion continued to be held in Brighton until 1940. The following are excerpts of Tipton County honoring its veterans through the years on Armistice Day/Veterans Day as reported in The Covington Leader. On Nov. 17, 1921, a large crowd gathered in the auditorium of the grammar school building last Friday evening to observe Armistice Day with a fitting program. Mr. E. H. McFadden, one of the most prominent businessmen in the city and a leading church layman presided and introduced each member on the program. Hon. L. E. Gwinn was the principal speaker of the evening, delivering an eloquent and patriotic address. The musical numbers, including patriotic songs, was also a feature of the program, which was as follows: America - High School Orchestra and Glee Club Prayer - Rev. L. J. Sherrill “Armistice Day” - Jere Tipton Voice Duet - Marjorie and Marguerite Lynn Red Cross report - Margaret B. Hawkins Red Cross Creed - Elizabeth Marshall Voice Solo - Miss Gracey McNeely Violin Solo - Mr. Halliburton Reading, “In Flanders Field,” - Lucille Grimsley Reading - Miss Witherington Address - Hon. L.E. Gwinn Reading - “Kipling’s Recessional” Eleanor Richmond Remarks - Mr. E. H. McFadden Star Spangled Banner - High School Orchestra Although the intention was good, not all events staged to honor veterans went off without a hitch. The Covington Leader reported during its Nov. 17, 1932 edition that, “James B. Wylie of Brighton was severely wounded in the right leg just above the ankle when he was struck by a flying rock from a noise bomb exploded in the banquet room of the American Legion where a celebration of Armistice Day was taking place. He was knocked unconscious by the blow.” During World War II, war bonds and poppy sales were popular ways of support American troops. On Oct. 19, 1944, The Covington Leader reported the war fund drive was nearing three-quarters of its goal with a total of $7,288 raised based on a quota of $9,675, “as communities begin to perk.” The Nov. 16, 1944 edition reported the Armistice Day Poppy sales brought in $370.63. The event was sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary, with Mrs. Charles P. Noell as chairman. Young girls in grades seventh through tenth sold the popular poppies which were made by veterans of World Wars I and II. During the Korean War and the Vietnam War care packages, cards and letters were mailed to Tipton County service members serving overseas. On Nov. 16, 1967, The Covington Leader wrote, “the Covington Jaycees mailed 64 packages of food and personal items to 64 Tipton Countians in Vietnam.” Jimmy Naifeh, who was the project co-chairman, said “sizable donations came in thick and heavy.” In November 1954, Armistice Day became known as Veterans Day to honor veterans of all wars, both past and future. During every conflict and each war, Tipton County’s men and women have joined the fight knowing that they are supported at home.

Chargers hit the court minus some stars By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com

Photo by FRED BROOKS

Greg Starks tries to haul in a pass during playoﬀ action Friday night against Kirby. The Cardinals' season ended with a 49-21 loss.

Kirby stops Brighton in first round By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com Brighton didn’t roll over and die Friday night at home after falling behind Kirby 21-0 in the first half of the team’s first round Class 6A state playoff game. The Cardinals pulled to within seven points twice, but could never overcome the slow start and saw their season end with a 49-21 loss. “The ball just bounced the wrong way a couple of times,” said Brighton head coach Will Wolfe. “Those guys are good athletes and they capitalized on our

miscues … But we had our chances.” Tyrone Clark returned an interception 50 yards for a score in the first quarter. Deon Woods threw a 60-yard touchdown pass to Fred Plummer and later hit Storm Johnson on a short touchdown pass to put the Cougars ahead 21-0. Brighton got up off the mat with 5:47 left in the half when Danny Potter hit John Osborne for a touchdown and then found James Murray on a 35-yard play for another score to cut the lead to 21-14. In the third quarter Woods ran 30 yards for a

score on a fourth-and-10 play to push the lead 28-14. With 2:09 left in the third quarter, Treyshun Gardner scored on a three-yard run to cut the lead to seven again, but it was the last time the Cardinals would score. Woods threw two more touchdown passes in the fourth quarter and Darrius Williams scored on a five-yard run to put the game out of reach. Potter completed 23 of 36 passes for 224 yards with two scores and four interceptions. Isiah Harris rushed 15 times for 103 yards. Murray caught five passes for 90 yards and

Ricky Foster had six receptions for 57 yards. Kirby (6-5) moves on to face White Station in round two. Brighton, which won its first-ever district title this season, finished 8-3. “Anytime you win a district title it’s been a successful year,” said Wolfe. “But we have high standards and we wanted to do better in the playoffs. It just didn’t work out … We lost to Cordova by one point this year and Munford by six. We were seven points away from being 10-0 … It was an interesting year.”

Deon Real made quite a splash last season in his first year as head coach of the Covington Chargers basketball team. Covington finished 27-7, won district and region titles and came within an eyelash of advancing to the state tournament. Sheffield edged the Chargers in the sectionals. If Covington is going to repeat that kind of success, the team will have to do so without the services of four of last year’s starters. Included in that group are guard D’Alvin Brown and forward Derrick Walker, the team’s undisputed leaders the previous three seasons. “We lost a lot to graduation,” said Real. “However, I’m not expecting a big drop. We have several kids who worked extremely hard during the offseason and are looking forward to having a chance to replace what we lost.” Junior Bernard Hurd, a steady point guard who averaged 4.1 assists per game last season, is the team’s lone returning starter. But a pair of other guys saw significant playing time last season. Senior Carl McKenzie, a 6-2 forward, emerged as a go-to player during the Chargers’ postseason run and will be looked to this season to play a much more prominent role. He is the team’s top returning scorer (6.3 ppg) and rebounder (3.1 rpg). Lester Gude, a 6-3 senior guard, can fill it Covington senior Carl up from the perimeter. McKenzie is the Chargers' top returning He averaged just over six points a game last scorer this season. season. “Those are the three with game time experience,” said Real. “Bernard started almost every game last year at the point guard position as a sophomore. He had a lot of help last year with Walker and Brown out there, but this year we are expecting him to shoulder some guys like he was last year. McKenzie and Gude played a lot last year. They know what is expected and plan on delivering for us.” Covington’s district will have a new look this season. Fayette-Ware, USJ and Jackson North Side are out while Gibson County, Milan, Westview, Crockett County, Dyersburg, Obion County and Ripley move in. There’s no doubt some of Covington’s opponents are happy that guys like Brown and Walker graduated. But Real said he is expecting another successful season and that a state title is still the program’s goal. “Our main expectations are to play hard every night and get better every day,” said Real. “If that happens, Covington will have a chance to be very successful this season … We are looking for three things every day and every game: being focused, having energy and unbelievable effort. If those three are present we can improve upon last year.”

Five Covington boxers win bouts By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com Five members of the Covington Boxing Club travelled out of town over the weekend and came home with wins. Terrance Currin, Markeston Griggs, Jamal Holland and Malcolm Terry Jr. went to Osceola,

Ark., on Saturday and won. “All four of them looked really good,” said coach Jimmy Glover. Also on Saturday, Covington fighters Thomas Hall and Anthony Campbell travelled to Chattanooga as members of the Southeaster All-Star Team and fought against the U.S. Army Team. Campbell won a decision

and Hall dropped a close fight. Chris Rudd, a former member of the Covington Boxing Club who is now fighting professionally, will fight next Nov. 21 in Crossville in his first eight-round bout. Rudd is currently 9-0. The Covington Boxing Club will host its second home show of the season Nov. 21.

A dream season ended for the Brighton Middle School football team ended in dramatic fashion Saturday afternoon. Nick Easley scored his third touchdown of the game on a one-yard run with 1:30 left as BMS defeated Georgian Hills Middle School 20-18 to win the West Tennessee Sectional Championship, the highest honor at the middle school level. “It was just a classic football game,” said BMS head coach Larry Williams. “It was two teams wanting to win.” When Georgian Hills scored with 3:00 left to go ahead 18-14, it was the first time BMS (11-0) had trailed all year. “I wondered how they were going to react to that,” said Williams. “But they had a look in their eyes like they were not going to get beat.” The Cardinals drove the length of the field. The key play of the drive came when quarterback Bobby Holder, the offensive player of the game, hit Stephen Armstrong on a pass that converted a fourth and 12. “You hear about the John Elway drive and the Dwight Clark catch,” said Williams. “It was like that.” Later in the drive Holder hit Colton Hathcock on a pass play that set up the final score. Armstrong broke up a pass on Georgian Hills’ final drive to secure the win. Charles Mosley made some key plays throughout the game as well and was named the defensive player of the game. It was the first sectional title for Brighton Middle. “As far as I know it was the first time a Tipton County football team, at any level, has gone all the way through the playoffs and won the final game,” said Williams. “I told the guys they made

history.”

Basketball triple header opens season By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader

Britt Sanford is one of four returning starters for the Lady Cardinals this season.

Lady Cards plan to speed things up this season By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com Lady Cards plan to speed things up this season The last couple of seasons, Brighton girls basketball coach Brian Crowson has trotted out some really young lineups that included freshmen and sophomores at key positions. This year those underclassmen are juniors and seniors, and Crowson plans on taking advantage of having more experience. “We are still a young team, with only two seniors, but we have more depth than years past,” said Crowson, who enters his third season as the team’s head coach. “We have several guards that will see a lot of playing time. We will try to play a more up tempo style of basketball this season.” Four starters – junior gaurds C.J. Jacobs and Britt Sanford, senior guard Lauren Gentry and junior forward Cassie Shepard – return this season. Sanford, the team’s point guard and top returning scorer (8 ppg last year), averaged four assists per game last

year and will spearhead the offense. Sanford and Jacobs ( 5 ppg last year), a slashing two guard, have both started since they were freshmen. Gentry does a little bit of everything for the Lady Cardinals and Shepard will be asked to replace the post production provided last year by graduated senior Victoria Mathis. Senior forward Stephanie Schultz and sophomore forward Demiah Eaton will also play in the paint. Ashli Bolden and Raven Campbell, a pair of sophomore guards, are likely to be in the rotation as well. Brighton finished 9-18 last year and advanced to the region tournament quarterfinals. Crowson believes the development of the team’s younger players will be important if the program is going to take another step forward this season. The Lady Cardinals won just one game two seasons ago. “We have to find ways to create more turnovers and score in transition,” said Crowson. “We had trouble scoring at times last year. Our younger players will have to play bigger roles this season.”

He was also the chief referee for Zone 6 in 2005 and 2008 and for the Junior World in 2005 and 2009. Howard has pulled 1, 200,000 targets and has been chief referee to 2, 500,000 targets thrown.

Charger Beat By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader From the Principal’s desk… Here’s a tip for improving that ACT score. An excellent website for parents and students to access is www.act.org. This web page has tips for the test taker as well as a full length practice test. The answers are also available allowing the student to benefit from analysis of their answer. Then, students should attend the math tutoring available before each school day with Mr. Byrd and the English tutoring available after each school day with Mrs. Avis.

To screen or not to screen: that is the question. By the end of 2009, an estimated 192,280 new cases of prostate cancer will have been diagnosed across the United States and 27,360 men will have died of prostate cancer. On average, one out of every six American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime. These numbers are quite unsettling and many men are asking what steps they can take to avoid becoming yet another victim of this silent killer. As is the case with other types of cancer, early detection is very important as it allows for more treatment options and leads to better outcomes. Physicians can now detect prostate cancer a long time before it starts causing problems for the patient simply by drawing a small amount of blood and measuring the amount of PSA in it. PSA (prostate specific antigen) is a substance produced in very small amounts by a healthy prostate gland. Prostate tumors usually produce high amounts of PSA. Now the bad news: not all prostate tumors will cause elevated PSA and not all cases of elevated PSA are cancer. To put it in numbers, out of 100 men with prostate cancer, 86 will have a positive PSA test. Because the test is not perfect, 14 cases of cancer will be missed. Out of 100 men with healthy prostates, only 33 will appropri-

ately have a negative test. The other 67 will have an elevated PSA for other reasons: prostate inflammation, infection, or BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia), a condition defined as an enlarged prostate that can partially block the flow of urine, but is not a cancer. These 67 men may then have to undergo the stress of additional testing although they do not have prostate cancer. Even if a prostate tumor is detected, some grow very slowly and are not likely to pose a danger to the patient. Treatment of these tumors may not be necessary and can cause significant side effects, including urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction. American Cancer

Society believes that physicians should offer PSA testing to patients between the ages of 50 and 75. If risk factors are present, such as African American race or family history of prostate cancer, testing should be offered at age 40. The United States Preventive Services Task Force concludes that there is not enough evidence to recommend for or against testing. The American Urological Association recommends annual testing of all men starting at the age of 40. There are other opinions on when, whom, or whether to test at all. What is the bottom line? PSA testing can save lives through early detection of cancer, but also can lead to potentially unnecessary workups and treatments. The decision to undergo testing is yours. Become involved in your healthcare, engage your physician, ask questions, discuss your own risks and benefits of PSA testing, and seek an opinion of an urologist should the test results be abnormal.

Family magic show comes to Ruffin By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com

Many families create magic when together, solely based on family dynamics, but one family literally creates magic. They will bring their special blend of wonderment to the Historic Ruffin Theater on Nov. 22. The family trio of Jeff, Lynn and their daughter Shari create a unique variety show which entertains all ages. The family of skilled magicians and illusionists dazzle the crowd with their program of mixed stage illusions, interactive audience routines, award-winning bird act and special effects that all make for a show which encompasses theater, mystery, comedy and romance into a highenergy, action-packed 90 minutes. Jeff Nelson began performing magic at age 5 and has perfected his craft through the years. His illusions and routines

reflect his life-long belief that theatrical magic is a true art form. Nelson met his wife Lynn, who comes from a long line of performers, in college and together they complement each other. Their 15-year-old daughter Shari has been performing with her parents since she was 18 months old.She has been featured in the S.A.M National Convention Stars of Tomorrow Show and has won the Magicians Alliance of the Eastern States Best Newcomer Award for 2006. She recently won a scholarship for her performance at the 2009 World Magic Seminar in Las Vegas. Nelson Illusions has been seen in 32 countries and on over 40 television shows. The show has entertained on cruise ships and in theaters, arenas and fairs throughout the United States and Canada. It has toured China with “Legends in Concert” and they have performed with many

top Hollywood personalities. The Ruffin Theater and the Tipton Arts Council will host Nelson Illusions for one show only on Nov. 22 at 2 p.m. at the Ruffin. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for students, senior citizens

and military. Tickets can be purchased in advance at The Leader, the Tipton County-Covington Chamber of Commerce, the South Tipton County Chamber of Commerce or at the door day of the show.

One Covington man believes the use of manners has become a dying art, but he's determined to change that. Last week, Lee Johnston, executive director of the CovingtonTipton County Chamber of Commerce, announced he will soon begin teaching manners to the young people of Tipton County. "I've heard it throughout the community, especially from our businesses, that somebody needs to teach a manners class," he said. "These are things our parents and grandparents were taught and had time to teach, but people are too busy now." Manners, said Johnston, will increase the quality of life and for more than six months, he has spent his time researching different programs and means in which to teach the class. "I want to teach the

basics, so these children can go places and no embarrass themselves," he said. "Not that they could go to the White House and sit at a table with the president of the United States, but that they could feel comfortable with themselves." The class, which is planned to last three weeks, will cover basics such as table manners and the correct way to dress for a job interview among other topics. Johnston plans to correct incorrect behavior through positive reinforcement. "The first thing we're going to learn is that they shouldn't go home and say, 'Mama, you're not doing this right!' We're not going to make fun of others. I'm not going to tell them they're doing it wrong, I'm going to tell them how to do it the right way. The number one rule of manners is being considerate of others." Johnston confessed

"These are things our parents and grandparents were taught and had time to teach, but people are too busy now." - Lee Johnston that although his mother taught him manners, he had to brush up on them in order to prepare for facilitating the class. He said, however, he is very serious and very excited about it. "I'm really hoping it grows. So far I already have half the class filled on verbal commitments." Classes, which begin in January 2010, will consist of 14 students ranging in age from first to 12th grade. They will take place on Tuesdays and will be an hour-

BOARD Continued from Page A3 body in Tipton County and New York to come be a part of the parade.” Alderman Tommy Hatcher apologized to the Fraternal Order of Police for not being able to attend the third annual chili cook-off and presented a check to Covington Police Department Captain Tim Glass for $100. “Maybe by doing this we can get some more people to donate to the Fraternal Order of Police for the children.” During the mayor’s report, Gordon reminded residents discount prescription cards were still available. “We still have prescription cards available at City Hall, the library and at the senior center which may help citizens potentially save some money on their prescription drugs.”

Additional stimulus money available The mayor also reported the Delta Human Resource Agency had received additional stimulus money to assist residents who have falling on hard times. “They received additional stimulus money and an applicant can receive up to $1,500,” said Gordon. “There are several qualifications that have to be met but I would encourage people who are in financial difficulty to contact the Delta Human Resource Agency to see if they qualify for some assistance.” The Covington Board of Mayor and Aldermen meets on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at 5 p.m. at City Hall. The next meeting of the board will be on Tuesday, Nov. 24. The public is invited and encouraged to attend.

IRS seeks to return $12K in undeliverable refunds By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com Just when it is needed the most, the Internal Revenue Service announced it owes money to 16 people in Tipton County. The IRS tried to send refunds to these individuals, however the checks were returned as undeliverable, said IRS spokeman Dan Boone. "The IRS tried unsuccessfully to contact them and now IRS is allowed to publicly disclose the names in hopes that the check owners will see their names in the media or someone who knows how to contact them will," he said. Boone is searching for Tennesseans who are due to receive a combined $1.77 million in the form of 1,849 refund checks that were returned to the IRS by the U.S. Postal Service due to mailing address errors. The IRS would like to locate the following: • Keith Cooke, Atoka • Carrie L.

Hammerbeck, Brighton • April N. James, Brighton • Stephen C. Flowers, Covington • April Mason, Covington • Sara H. Laxton, Covington • Norma J. Woods, Covington • Chattis Hall, Covington • Sebastian A. Mills, Covington • Richard Caincross, Munford • Roy D. and Peggy A. Sawyer, Munford • Jeffrey J. Biggs, Munford • Judy G. Rogers, Munford • Stanley W. and Joyce A. Jackson, Munford • Jimmy L. and Angela M. Bell, Munford • Pedro Sanchez, Munford All a taxpayer has to do is update his or her address once. The IRS will then send out all checks due. Undeliverable refund checks average $958 this year in Tennessee. Some

taxpayers are due more than one check. In Tipton County, the combined total of refund checks due is $12,610. The average check is $748. "The vast majority of checks mailed out by the IRS each year reach their rightful owner. Only a very small percent are returned by the U.S. Postal Service as undeliverable," Boone said. Taxpayers can update their addresses with the “Where’s My Refund?” tool on IRS website, www. irs.gov. The tool enables taxpayers to check the status of their refunds. A taxpayer must submit his or her social security number, filing status and amount of refund shown on their 2008 return. The tool will provide the status of their refund and in some cases provide instructions on how to

resolve delivery problems. Taxpayers checking on a refund over the phone will be given instructions on how to update their addresses. Taxpayers can access a telephone version of “Where’s My Refund?” by calling 1-800-829-1954. "The IRS encourages taxpayers to choose direct deposit when they file their returns because it puts an end to lost, stolen or undeliverable checks," Boone said. "Taxpayers can receive refunds directly into personal checking or savings accounts. Direct deposit is available for filers of both paper and electronic returns." The IRS also encourages taxpayers to file their tax returns electronically because e-file eliminates the risk of lost paper

returns. E-file also reduces errors on tax returns and speeds up refunds.

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com A man missing from Stanton has been located, the Tipton County Sheriff's Office announced Monday. Officials say 51-year-old Dwight Glenn Creasy, who works as a laborer for a Stanton farmer, showed up for work on Saturday, Oct. 3 and was last seen at a Mason business. He was reported missing the next day by a couple with whom he lived on Charleston-Mason Road. Turner said family members reported Creasy has gone missing in the past, disappearing out-of-state for a period of time. Not only was Creasy missing, but he was also wanted by the sheriff's office. "After he was reported missing by his roommates, a forgery complaint was filed," said Deputy Chief Donna Turner. According to incident reports, Creasy is accused of forging checks at a Mason business. The checks belonged to his employer. On Nov. 7, Creasy returned to Tipton County and was turned over to deputies. Family members said he had traveled to Texas seeking work, was unable to secure a job and called them, asking for help in buying a bus ticket to return to Tipton County. Creasy has been formally charged with forgery in the Tipton County General Sessions Court and remains in custody on a $2,500 bond.

Boy Scout Oath: On my honor, I will do my best, To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; To help other people at all times; To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.

McDill honored for service with Scouts By REBECCA GRAY rgray@covingtonleader.com Be prepared. That’s the motto of the Boy Scouts. But as retiring Scoutmaster Bobby McDill might say, he wasn’t prepared for the surprise ceremony held in his honor on Saturday night to recognize his 64 years of service to the Boy Scouts of America, Atoka Troop 60, as its Scoutmaster. Close to 100 of his closest friends, fellow Scout leaders and former Scouts gathered at the Atoka Elementary School gymnasium on Nov. 7 and surprised their treasured “Mr. Bobby” with a ceremony featuring a custom-made cake, a slide show presentation showcasing pictures of the former Scoutmaster and Scouts over his 64 years of service to the troop, two badge boards that displayed McDill’s Scout patches earned over the years and a scrap booking table where guests were invited to write notes of memories and wishes to McDill. At the beginning of the evening after McDill and his wife Mozelle arrived, a formal Scout meeting set the tone for the ceremony where current Scoutmaster Mark Scott made opening remarks and invited guests to the podium to tell stories and reminisce over memories of McDill.

He was then presented with the 2008 Scoutmaster of the Year Award, as recognized by the West Tennessee Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America, and he was also presented with a certificate of Special Congressional Recognition from U.S. Rep. John Tanner. McDill and Mozelle say they feel really good about passing on the torch to Scott, who recently served as an assistant Scoutmaster. “Mark came at a good time,” said McDill. “He’s really good.” “Bobby was really glad to see Mark come on and really glad that Mark was willing to take over the troop,” said Mozelle. “Bobby got sick, and his health is not very good. He just felt like he had to give it up, and he is 77 years old, so it was time.” When asked who and what in his life is most dear to him, McDill mentioned his top priority. “My wife,” he said. “Also my Scouts and our church.” The McDill’s attend Salem Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church in Atoka. The couple agrees that the night’s ceremony was a nice one. “They did a super job of honoring him, and we really appreciate it,” said Mozelle. “He was told he was coming to a Scout meeting.” McDill says that being a

McDill's wife, Mozelle, accompanied him to the ceremony. Scoutmaster has been rewarding for him. “At first you think, how in the world am I going to do this? You just have to get into it and it will come to you,” he said. “When he first started out as Scoutmaster, there was no one to help him, no assistants. He did it all himself for a while,” said Mozelle. So what does it mean to Bobby to serve as Scoutmaster? “To be my own Scoutmaster, to first be the Scoutmaster of myself,” he said, “to really serve others.” To Bobby, becoming a Scout is one of the best ways for a young man to live his life. “If they start coming to

Scouts, they will just fall right in line,” he said. “When they see boys that have been in there for a while, they will know that this is a good organization.” “He pretty much tries to live by the Scout law,” said Mozelle. “He is courteous and honest, and has good morals.” “We would just tell young people today to just try to live a Christian life, and have good morals," said Mozelle. There seems to be a lack of people who have good morals in our country. We would just say to be honest, and try to set a good example for others. That’s what he has done for the boys here. Just try to do the right thing.”

B1-lifestyles.indd 1

I’ve been in Scouts for about 20 years, and spent 10 of them with Bobby, on a lot of road trips, and sleepless nights, and through storms, and most of what I know about Scouting I learned from Mr. Bobby. And if you ever want to look at anybody that lived the Scouting Laws and Oaths, you’re looking at him right there. He’s the most honest, generous man I have ever known. And I hope that as I go forward in Scouting, that I am just half as good as what he is. Mr. Bobby has done a lot for me and my family. I left Troop 60 in 2005 and went to Drummonds to serve as Scoutmaster over there, but my heart has always been with Troop 60, and always will be. And Mr. Bobby and Mrs. Mozelle will always be in my heart. I will never forget either one of them. – Bill Carlisle, charter representative, Poplar Grove United Methodist Church, Drummonds, Tenn. He pushed me and made sure I at least tried. He would say, Rob, you got to get this project done, you got to get these hours done. About a month before my 18th birthday I finished my Eagle and I know it was because Mr. Bobby pushed me. He was always pushing the Scouts. I just want to thank you so much, Mr. Bobby. You have made an impact on my life and I know you have done the same for many other boys. – Rob Dawson, assistant principal, Atoka Elementary School Bobby is so joyful and cheerful, he would give you the shirt off his back. He’s energetic, full of energy, and could outwork the kids any day. You won’t find two better people than Bobby and Mozelle, and I salute both of them. – Charles Todd, pastor, Salem Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church, Atoka I have a world of respect for Mr. Bobby, I can’t tell you just how much I respect you. You’ve always been a genuine person. I would just like to thank you, Mr. Bobby, for all you’ve done for me. – Ronnie Watson, assistant Scoutmaster, Atoka Troop 60

Almyra By Libby Click Hi everyone. Hope your week has been a good one. The overcast day on Monday sure made me miss the exciting sunshine last week. However, now the trees that still have leaves are beginning to look like that beautiful fall we had hoped for. I don't know if it's just out our way or what, but the wasps are coming inside from everywhere and it hasn't even been that cold yet. We have a fireplace, so I'm assuming that is their avenue. We cannot share enough gratitude for our veterans. The Veterans Day Parade in Covington was terrific. The men and women in uniform deserve our utmost respect and prayers. The price this nation has paid and will continue to pay for our freedom is almost incomprehensible. Having seven grandsons it's on my mind a lot. Please continue to remember our military in your prayers. Well, the countdown is two weeks away from today. I still have not practiced on my dressing. I have got to do that soon. I have to apologize to my friend Judy Dunaway. She and I both declared to each other that we would let our hair color grow off. I cheated. I started

back coloring mine just after two or three weeks after our discussion. She has continued with her commitment. (You might want to reconsider Mrs. Judy, you’re still too young for grey hair.) I went and got my swine flu shot this week. Being diabetic, I fit into the "necessary" category. Hopefully, it won’t be such a big deal. Last Saturday, Charlie and I went down to Bellevue Baptist Church to watch our granddaughter, Ellen Quinn, play basketball. She's 9 years old. She really played a great game. They only had enough that day to play, so her team (the tadpoles) had to stay in the whole game, with no replacements. She was worn out. However, she made more than half of the baskets. Way to go, Ellen. They lost in the last few seconds of the game, but it was a good one. Laura and the girls and Charlie and I then had the opportunity to share lunch while down there. It don't stop there. Then after church on Sunday, my little Addie had her birthday part at McDonald’s. She and her friends had a great time and she blew out her four candles. Her other grandparents, Wayne and Linda Kidd, were their also. We all had a great time until they opened their party supplies and each received a horn blower. My ears were not ready

Randolph Tula Starr Monday night - the old man and old woman worked in our yard till dark — with the time changed it got dark before we had finished all the jobs that need to be done. We have been mulching all the leaves. I don't mind mulching them with the lawn mower, but I do not like to have to rake them by hand. The previous owners had made this really nice flower bed. Decorative cement blocks on the outside and it was divided in the middle into fourths with brick, three bricks tall and all of this was covered with rich dirt and really healthy Bermuda grass. We had to dig up the bricks, as only one layer was showing. Since we did not get finished today, the bricks are thrown all over the yard. That was the old woman's job to throw the bricks out of the bed while the old man dug them up. We are giving up on it being a flower bed and let the grass grow and we can keep it cut with the lawn mower. The old man and old woman have been volunteers at the Munford Community Center for several years delivering "meals on wheels." We have met some really nice people. The following is about a very special person who will be having her 97th birthday this month. Ms. Bertha Walker asked last Sunday at church why don't you write about Mrs. Mary Vance Fite Hill, who is her neighbor. Bertha asked her daughter to tell us about Mrs. Mary. Mrs.

Gilt Edge By Bernadine McAfee Hop and Geraldine Gibbons of Ripley, Miss. spent the weekend recently with her mother, Margaret Partlow, and son, Danny. Their son, Paul brought them, then came to get them. Flossie Pugh's daughter Donna, who lives in Humboldt visited her recently. Sympathy to the loved ones of Clyde Devon Lewis, Billy B. Wilson, Darrell, Mo. Whitson, Ruby P. Rice, Norris Maxine Evans, Major David G. Lloyd, Mary Lois Cochran and Lillian B. Hoskins. They died recently. Buck Young also died recently. The Elm Grove Church of Christ had homecoming Oct. 25 followed by a gospel meeting. Eddie Dickey is the minister. Bernard and Shirley Lott were married 50 years Nov. 2. Roger and Sandra Catterton also married on that date but not sure

for all that. It wasn't long after that when both sets of grandparents left. Salem Presbyterian Church Worship is at 11 a.m. each Sunday. Rev. Charles Todd is the minister. Everyone welcome. The Appalachia Mission Team invites each of you to a baked potato and salad fundraiser after worship this Sunday. In the 2009 Thanksgiving season offering you have the opportunity to support Erskine Seminary, the American Bible Society and Outreach North America and to fund the Christmas Benevolent Fund Ministry. Sharon Presbyterian Church Worship is at 9 a.m. each Sunday morning. Rev. Charles Todd is the minister. We welcome all members, friends and visitors to the fellowship of Sharon ARP Church. We are thankful for our Dunlap residents who are able to be with us when they can. Please remember those on our prayer list: Marie Chumley, Brice Fite, Mary Moffatt, Kathy Laxton Murdock, Betty Neiderhauser, Danny Salmon, Joyce Tanner, Marvin Turnage, Carl Waits and Rodney Waits. Covington Church of Christ Worship is at 10:30

a.m. and 5:30 p.m. each Sunday. Bible study at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday and 7 p.m. on Wednesday night. Everyone always welcome. Our pastor is Bro. Mike Rogers and associate pastor is Bro. Jeff Phillips. We are so blessed with such a wonderful congregation and many visitors. We have several on our prayer list, let's continue to remember these and others. We are so thankful for you youths safe return from their youth rally at Camp Tahkodah and their spiritual experience and growth. In closing, I still cannot get used to this new time schedule. However, the longer evenings at home allows us to see many more good "old" movies. As I mentioned earlier we have three more family birthdays this week. Happy birthday this week to our grandson Luke Scott, our daughter-in-law Stephanie Scott and last but not least my, dear, sweet husband Charlie D. Click. Now the ripe old age of "full" retirement. He's receiving all kinds of mail from Medicare. With our present government any kind of assistance you can put your hands upon for health matters is a blessing. Have a great week everyone. Oh, before closing, I must ask for prayers for all the families who lost loved ones at the Fort Hood massacre in Texas. Thank you.

Hill is surprisingly resilient considering her age and having several health problems. She uses a walker around her home and is anxious to remain as independent as possible. She appreciates the help she gets from her family plus some outside help. This is a lady whose mind is still sharp and she is always ready to chat for a few minutes when we stop by. She has had an interesting life and especially enjoys speaking of times past, her travels, her family and friends. Through talking with "Miss Mary Vance," we have discovered two motivations that keep her spirits up. First, she prays humbly to her Heavenly Father that He will continue to keep her in His care. Second, she is grateful for the love of family and friends. There are five generations in Mary's family and she is quick to point out how much each and every one of them means to her. Her daughters are Guelda Proctor Harrison, Joyce Proctor Cornelius and Shirley Hill Williams. She has several grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. Two of her grandchildren living in the Munford area are Amy Turnage and Emily Clark. We find Mary to be a deeply caring person who has many memories of church. She misses being able to attend Munford First United Methodist Church where she has been a member for over 60 years. She wishes she could be active in her community as she once was. And, she especially misses babysit-

ting the little ones of the family, cooking big family dinners and doing the numerous other tasks involved in caring for her family. Ms. Mary loves to stay in touch and she will most definitely welcome visits, cards and phone calls. We all wish you a very Happy 97th Birthday.

about the year. Jimmy and Shelby Cousar visited in Texas recently with her sister, Betty Ritchy, and husband. They have two sons, Clay and Todd. Clay was in an accident 14 plus years ago. They care for him at home. Todd was a baseball player but is retired and living in the country and has several children who are homeschooled. Belated birthday greetings to Bailey Baskin, who was 13-years old on Oct. 29. Lori Rose also had one on Nov. 1; She is 42 years old. Bro. Don Billings preached at Poplar Grove Assembly of God Church on Nov. 1 at the morning service. Rev. A. A. Lawrence and the Trinity Full Gospel singers were at Kelley's Chapel Church of God (Holiness) Sunday night on Nov. 1. On the prayer list: Nadine Kellum, Megan Hobock, Arvis Fletcher, Clara McMillin, Ruth Taylor, Dale and Kim McKenzie and family, Carol Ann Fletcher, Bill Stimpson, Patsy Yarbro,

Odis Poole, Byrl Smith, Glenn Talley, Emma Sue Turnage, Tommy Cousar, June Glass and the folks at Kelley's Chapel Church, they are in need of a pastor. Please pray for Corrine Cothran in Murfreesboro and Mindy Tankersley. Tiffany Fort of Arkansas went by plane to Dallas, Texas; she recently stayed a week with her grandmother, Opal Murray, David and Greg Murray and their family. Tiffany is Charlotte Lawrence's niece. When Connie McAfee was in the 4-H Club she entered a bread making contest at the court house in Covington. She made biscuits and won, then her biscuits were tested beside the cornbread. She won and went on to Milan. She could go to camp for five plus days or get a check from Martha White. She took the check and she still makes biscuits. Be good to everyone but when you see one set of foot prints in the sand that was when God was carrying you.

Mt. Carmel/Clopton By Elaine Watkins 476-7093 Monday night, temperatures in the high 60’s and clear. We’ve had great harvesting weather for several days and the end is in sight! I was glad to give blood last Tuesday and my favorite employee of Life Blood, Katheryn Vaughn, now Katheryn Gangaware, was my nurse. I was happy that my year-long probation, due to the fact that I went to the Mayan Ruins in 2008, was over and I’m back on track. Thursday night I enjoyed joining other “girlfriends” for a jewelry party at the home of Delores (and Andy) Whaley. I hadn’t seen their new home and it’s beautiful; I’m so happy for them. Becky Kirby gave the party and we had a big time looking at all the items she brought, shopping and enjoying refreshments. Judy McCool and I won prizes! Friday afternoon, Elizabeth, Justin, Brandon Matlock and I left for the U-T/Memphis game in Knoxville. (Knoxville won 56-28). We stopped and spent the night on the way, to break up the trip, and arrived in Knoxville before noon on Saturday. We really enjoyed the game, the parade and peoplewatching! I especially enjoyed the alumni band. We had on our orange and blended right in! Nice weather for football and we had a good weekend, stopping in Franklin on the way home to look at baby furniture at a big store there, grabbing some supper at Jackson and arriving home about 8 p.m. I enjoyed some alone time with Elizabeth, as we girls had our own room and the boys had theirs! Congratulations to Andy and Delores Whaley on the birth of a new grandbaby! Michael and his wife, Jessica, had a daughter, Michaela Rose Whaley, on Oct. 30! I saw pictures - cute! Among those on our prayer list are Larry Whaley Jr., Lawrence Coulston, Enis Clark, Bethany Kirby, Peggy White and Lillian Whitney, John Evans’ mother. And of course, our military men and women. Nov. 14 will be the date for Clean Up! for the Kix and ACTs groups at the Covington Church of Christ. 9 a.m. The youth had retreat at Camp Tahkodah last weekend. I hope they had a great time. Happy birthday this week goes to Debbie Otts on Nov. 10, to Frank Brown on Nov. 12 and to Caleigh Cook on Nov. 13! The Annual Hee Haw Howdy Show is this weekend. Enjoy a fun evening and support the Cancer Society. Congratulations to Mandy Elliott, granddaughter of Helen James, who is now a member of the International Honor Society at Dyersburg State. Yay, Mandy! The Clopton Women of the Church have published a cookbook dedicated to Mrs. Vivian McLennan entitled “Sharing Our Wealth: 175 Years and Still Cooking! Recipes and Memories From Clopton United Methodist Church”. It contains 426 recipes from current & former members of the church plus Miss Vivian’s reminiscences of days gone by. Copies are available at The HUB for $10 each. To order by mail contact Marion Davis at 476-7576 or msdavismemphis@yahoo.com. This week’s CK Report: Chicken Kitty is really growing - getting to be a cat instead of a kitten! I never would have believed that he/she would stay around this long! Things are about the same, except on those cold mornings we had a couple of weeks ago, I think the kitten would have slipped in the door if I’d let it. But it still wouldn’t have let me pet it, I’m sure. I gave it warmed-up milk those mornings and the chickens let the kitten have that! They still share the cat food though - the three of them! This weeks Farmer’s Almanac Calendar quote: “The flamingo has the longest tongue of all birds”. Good trivia question! Enjoy the nice Fall weather and start thinking about that turkey - less than two weeks away! Until next week . . .Elaine

Following the business session the program was turned over to Brenda Scott who brought the program on movies, and movie stars, both old and new. It was very interesting and helped the members to remember the movies they had enjoyed in years past. After the program delicious refreshments were served during the fellowship hour.

Jamestown DarSay Burton 476-1414

Greetings. First I hope all of us did not forget to honor our Armed Forces on Wednesday, Nov. 11, Veterans Day. Because of their sacrifices made and ones still being made, we here at home have that added source of security from enemies both foreign and domestic. On Sunday, our church, Cummings Street M. B. in Memphis, held a special honor place in our morning worship services at our Raines Road locale at 11:30 a.m. for our veterans. During the 9 a.m. hour, all veterans received a standing ovation for their services to our country. In Jamestown we are proud of our veterans both old and new. Sgt. 1st Class, Barry Sherrill, who also serves in the Army as a drill sergeant, is on his third tour in Iraq. Barry’s wife, Emma is holding down their home which is now in Georgia. Barry’s the son of the late Barbara Sherrill White formerly of Jamestown and the grandson of Pink Sr., and Florence “Doll” Sherrill also of Jamestown. Sgt. Barry is Jamestown and Bright Hill M. B. Churches, and Pastor Sherman Cole’s very own “Santa.” He never ever forgets his community and his church, by giving lovely gifts at every holiday season. His gifts touches every member, especially the youth department. Sgt. Michael King, U. S. Army, now of Florida, has served at least three tours overseas. Sgt. Mike’s the son of LaRue Albritton and the late Kevin Reese King Sr. of Covington. He’s the grandson of the late Pink Sr. and Florence “Doll” Sherrill. Dante Elkins, son of Debra King Elkins will be shipped out at the end of December to Afghanistan for a year tour of duty. He is also the grandson of LaRue Albritton and the late Irene Murphy of

President Mary Burton and teacher Willie Mae Burton met at The Center for the weekly missionary meeting. President Mary is glad to see her regulars, but as she just loves to say, “there’s plenty of room for more.” Jamestown Community Health Organization is still accepting yearly dues of $25. This goes toward the upkeep of Dickens Cemetery, as well as toward the scholarship fund. Contact either President Jessie Cooke, V. P. Joann Bell; Treasure, Willie Mae Burton, Secy. Minister Pearl Andrews or program chair Pam Cobbs Springfield. You still have time and yes, your dues are still very much needed. Our prayers are with the Payne-Gray families. Their beloved mother, grandmother and aunt, Ruth Gray Payne passed last week. Her services at the time of this writing were incomplete. Her sisters Bessie Cobbs and Demetrice Baker as well as their brother, Johnnie Gray are in our prayers and their entire families. She was a faithful member of Bright Hill until her health failed. Also our prayers are with Beulah Wakefield of Drummonds and her family on he recent lost of her husband and the father of their children, Troy Wakefield Sr. They are members of St. Paul M. B. Church in Drummonds. His services were last Saturday with Pastor W. E. Gatlin officiating.

Covington. He’s also in the Army. Christy Jackson, daughter of Carolyn Jackson Ware and stepdaughter of Henry Ware of Jamestown, is stationed in Cape Town, Africa aboard one of the U.S. Navy ship. She’s the granddaughter of Willie Parthenia Hodge and the great-granddaughter of the late Willie and Joanna Jones of Jamestown. Ashley Kaye Andrews, is stationed near Nashville, preparing to deploy to Bagdad at the beginning of December for at least a year with communications services there. She is the daughter of Romel and Minister Pearl Andrews of Atoka. She’s the granddaughter of Mamie Andrews of Covington, great-granddaughter of Ruth Griffins of Ripley and also of the late Nehemiah and Josephine Burton. She serves in the U. S. Army. Let us always remember each of them, our own as well as those others who are making and who has made so many sacrifices for our freedom. Let us pray for the souls lost in Fort Hood, Texas just a few days ago, as well as for the recovery of those harmed. Also as Christian, let us pray for the young man who did this awful thing,to so many innocent lives. Now for our news. The Jolly Corteria Club and president LaRue Albritton will be pulling names in their annual Thanksgiving give-a-way the week of Thanksgiving.
