Vigil held for teen killed by cousin Jones family says they want Farrow released By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com Friday night a vigil held for James E. Jones Jr., a recent Brighton High graduate, turned emotional as family friends prayed for his killer's release. "If it was up to us, and if it was up to God, we'd release him," an unidentified member of the family prayed to the crowd. Jones, 19, went missing Tuesday, Sept. 25. His car was found the next morning at an abandoned building on Hwy. 179. Blood found inside told deputies foul play was involved in his disappearance. As Tipton County deputies searched for Jones, his cousin Daniel Farrow was being interviewed by detectives. That night his body was found in a field on Lindsey Road between Covington and the Gift Community. He'd been shot in the head. Farrow, 21, was charged with shooting his cousin and dumping his body. Jones, who was a caregiver with the Brighton Elementary School-Aged Childcare (SACC) program and known as "Mr. J-Dawg," was laid The family of to rest Sunday. His shooting victim James funeral was held at E.

Charges include felony first degree murder, tampering with evidence, abuse of a corpse and theft. He is currently in custody at the county's correctional facility and is being held without bond while attorneys decide whether or not he will face the death penalty. Family members said Monday they've already forgiven Farrow, a man who grew up close to Jones. "It's been tough but we're getting through it, every day gets sweeter and sweeter," said Jones's uncle Chris Dowell. "(Jones's mother) has released Daniel as far as forgiving him and if it was up to her, she would have him released," Dowell said. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) has not released a motive nor an explanation for the theft charge. Farrow is due back in court on Oct. 12.

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com He arrived to the sounds of the Marine Corps Hymn playing and his name being chanted. Hundreds of people lined the streets for his overnight arrival, waving flags, holding posters and cheering for their hometown hero. It was then that Christian Brown knew he was home. "When you're over there, you're just another grunt on the ground," he said during an impromptu meet and greet with the crowd after the Patriot Guardescorted motorcade made its way down Munford Avenue. "When you get hit, you don't expect it … you start to wonder as you're laying in the hospital and recovering, you realize your life's not going to be the same and you wonder, 'Was it worth it?' or 'Is it going to be worth it?' or 'Did I make a difference?'

Munford native Cpl. Christian "CB" Brown, who was wounded in an IED attack in December, returned early Friday morning to a large crowd.

And then you see something like this and you realize you wouldn't take it back." Brown, now a corporal in the U.S. Army, was wounded in an IED attack in

December 2011 in Afghanistan while supporting the War on Terror. He lost both of his legs and part of a finger and has been in Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Bethesda, Md.

DSCC hosts District 81 candidate forum By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com Education, jobs and crime were hot topics at the political forum hosted by Dyersburg State Community College Tuesday night. At the campus named for Speaker Emeritus Jimmy Naifeh, the longtime state representative from Covington, two candidates vying to replace him shared their views and visions. Conneye Albright (D-Munford) said, if elected, she will bring unique perspective to the office. "I'm an educator and I know what happens and where the money goes when it goes down to the school level," she said. Tommy Hill (I-Brighton) said he is also focused on education, more spe-

cifically on making post-secondary education more affordable, as well as lowering the county's unemployment rate. "We know that, in order for our

ever since, undergoing surgeries, physical therapy and much more. The Munford graduate, who was honored at the Brighton-Munford football game Friday, a game dubbed the Christian Brown Benefit Bowl, returned to his roots early that morning. Despite several weather delays that changed his arrival time from 11:30 p.m. to 3 a.m., nearly 200 people were wide awake and eager to welcome their hero back to his hometown. "I think this says that these people great appreciate the cost of freedom," said Mayor Dwayne Cole of the crowd. "CB just has an enormous sacrifice on his part and I just think it's remarkable …it says a great thing about America." Jodi Turner brought her eighth grade son Will to the homecoming and the two stayed until about 3:30 a.m.

way (from Pakistan). No matter matter what was going on, he always had a positive thought about it. He always stood by our side for everything: financially, emotionally, everything. Q: What do you like to do in your spare time? A: I like to spend time with my husband, playing tennis, things like that. Really I don't get a lot of spare time, but when I do, spending time with family is what I like to do.

Q&A WITH SANA ALI

Editor’s note: This week we are continuing a feature called Q&A. Through this feature we hope to help you get to know your neighbors, government officials and others in the community. Today we are publishing a chat with Sana Ali, who, along with her husband, owns four gas stations in Tipton County: Shell (Covington), two Exxons (Sparky's and Covington) and 59 Express in Burlison. Q: When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? A: A business owner. My parents had businesses. I always wanted to do something where I could help them out. My mom wanted me to do something in the medical field. I went to nursing school for two semesters just to make her happy, but business is what I wanted to do. Q: What person had the biggest influence on you growing up? A: My uncle. He was always there by our side. My parents went through a lot when the came out this

Q: How did you get involved in the convenience store business? A: In 2008 was when my husband bought Sparky's in Atoka. We got married in 2009. I told him from day one: no matter what happens, I'm not going to help you in this thing. I'm going to do my thing. We can't be working together because we'll get into it. But his mom got sick in 2010 and he had to go to India for 15 days. I didn't have a choice but to help him out … He asked me to take a break from my job (as a dental assistant) for 15 days to come help him, and I did that. He basically trained me for five days and left me on my own. I really liked the people who were coming into the stores and the people who were working there. Those 15 days changed my mind. I said, “You know what, this is what I want to do.” Once he came back I quit my job and helped him full time. Q: How scary was it investing money in a business considering the current economic conditions? A: It is scary. It's almost like every time (we buy a new one) we have a doubt about it. If you're on top of it … We both work all the time. A lot of people think you invest this money and it's going to pay me back in return. It's a 24 hours-a-day, seven-daysa-week job. You don't have a minute where you can rest … It's a big risk, but the people in Tipton County have been very generous to us. Even if we have stores that don't make money and are just there, we want to give back to the community and want to make a nice, friendly store for the community … We try to have the best prices. It's not all about us making money. The people who really need the deals and need things cheaper. We believe in having the best prices and not trying to rip everybody off … It's hard, but we think this is a way of giving back to the community for us a little bit at a time.

Continued from A1 Though Will had tests the next day and would lose a few hours of sleep, Turner said it didn't compare the sacrifices Brown's made. "We got out here at 11 and found out there was a two-hour delay, so we went back to Covington, ran a couple of errands," she said. "We were discussing what we were going to do, if we were going to come back, and I decided that Christian Brown has probably been up many nights, sleepless, serving, so what was one day of school with no sleep?" Brown answered any question asked, with subjects ranging from the weather in Afghanistan to his anger with God. "That was probably my first biggest, and still is my biggest, issue," Brown said. "I never thought I would get hit. I never worried, I always spoke blessings over myself and spoke the word over my squad … so when I got hit I got really, really angry. I'm still working out that issue. God's been tugging at my heart. I really don't know how I'm going to resolve it, I'm just hoping some way He gives me peace about it."

Brown told the crowd he's been experiencing some lonely days since being wounded. "No one will ever really understand. I could try to paint a picture for you but … when you're on that battlefield and you're talking to a guy one minute and you roll him over the next and he's missing a face … you gotta explain that to his mother, there's nothing like that. Just remember, I'm home, I'm gonna make it, but you still got guys over there sweating hard adn going without so I can do this, so we can be here today. Just keep them in your prayers. They need it more than I do." Brown is still active duty and said he will remain in the Army until he's medically retired. He hopes to still be of use to the military, hopes to have the opportunity to teach new recruits some of the skills he's acquired. "I still got a lot that I can give people even though I don't have my legs." Following the game and a weekend of being honored, CB and his mother, Lyn Braden-Reed, returned to Maryland.

Millington's refusal not dampening fair By LEE BUCHSCHACHER Special to The Leader

Atoka, county participate in DEA’s pill take-back initiative By MIKE DUNAVANT 25th Judicial District Attorney General On Sept. 29, the 25th Judicial District Drug Task Force, Atoka Police Department, Fayette County Sheriff’s Office, and the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office participated in the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) National Pill Take Back Initiative. District-wide, more than 220 pounds of expired, unused or unwanted medications, pills, legend drugs, and other controlled substances were collected at these three locations. In Atoka, 159.5 pounds was collected and 12.3 pounds was collected at the Tipton County Sheriff's Office. This initiative addresses a vital public safety

FORUM

Continued from A1 Additionally, Hill said one of the major roadblocks to bringing industry to the county is its lack of a skilled workforce. He hopes to make post-secondary education more available. Albright said she hopes the creation of a megasite in Haywood County will help employ more Tipton Countians, which would also help decrease the county's unemployment rate. Additionally, she would like to improve technology in classrooms to help better prepare students for college as well as the workforce. Crime was also a hot

and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—both pose potential safety and health hazards. The Office of the District Attorney General topic for Hill, who said he wants children to be able to get off of the bus or play in their yards without fear of gang violence. Questions from the audience covered topics that also fell into the education, jobs and crime categories. Prompted by a question from Miss Tipton County Kati Donelson, Albright said voters should consider a candidates abilities when choosing between them on election day. "I think you have to

The Delta Fair is a memory and the MidSouth Fair just packed up and left. There is another Fair coming at the end of the month in Covington. The American Legion Fair Oct. 25-28 at CobbParr Park will help raise money for the legion’s charities. The Legion Fair had two years in Millington but when organizers approached Interim Millington Mayor Linda Carter earlier this spring, she did not give approval. Within two days the City of Covington agreed to host the annual event at the Cobb-Parr Park off of Highway 51. Lee Buchschacher, president and chairman of the Legion Fair said, “The Covington leadership really stepped up to the plate and offered to host our venue. Mayor Gordon, the aldermen and the city staff have been very supportive and helpful.” “We are very excited to be hosting the American Legion Fair in Covington this year,” said Covington Mayor David Gordon. “We encourage everyone to come out and have some good, family fun and support the American Legion in its efforts to support our veterans.” The Midway will have 29 big rides with food vendors offering traditional fair food. Sponsors and exhibitors are signing up with less than a month before the fair kicks off. “There will be a variety of entertainment over the four-day event,” Buchschacher said. “Rick Montana, star of the Rick Montana Show performing classic rock and country songs along with the Wise Men, a humorous country group singing songs similar to Homer and Jethro fame. Billy Jones Bluez performs blues ballads and love songs with heart and lots of soul. Then we have 10-year old Emma Webb

singing a variety of pop/ rock hits. The fair opens with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 5 p.m. on Thursday, Oct 25. That night is Legionnaire Night and the Department Commander of the Tennessee American Legion will be present as the honorary Grand Marshall to cut the ribbon and open the show. Saturday, Oct. 27 there will be a Halloween Costume Contest and on Sunday, Oct. 28 it’s Family Day at the Fair and the Navy Support Activity

OUR VIEW

Candidates should engage voters Debra Moody is running as the Republican candidate for Tennessee House District 81, a seat held for many years by Jimmy Naifeh. But “running” may be a relative term, as Moody has missed two of three candidate forums and has thus far failed to participate in The Leader’s bi-monthly Q&A interview series conducted by Jeff Ireland (see page A2) with community leaders. These no-shows, refusals to agree to interviews and refusals to participate in forums without questions being sent in advance (a request not made by other candidates for the same position) and a general reluctance to communicate in public gatherings casts a shadow over Moody’s candidacy. While most folks would consider her to be the presumed frontrunner in the upcoming election based on her party credentials (Republicans have carried Tipton County in the last two elections despite the south part of the county being in another district and now the county is whole again, meaning more Republicans will be voting than in previous years), the fact is that her lead is likely thinning given her actions. Some members of the Tipton County Republican Party have expressed concerns about her candidacy privately as they watch these displays. As the frontrunner, political strategists might tell Mrs. Moody to play it safe and avoid gaffes. Such tactics have been used -- effectively -- for years. But that conveys the message that the goal is simply to win, whatever the cost, and it demonstrates that the candidate puts political expedience ahead of communicating with her constituency. This newspaper has a no-endorsement policy during elections. While each staff member certainly has his or her own opinion on which candidates are the best persons for each office, we do not share this publicly. We do not put signs in our yards. We do not work on campaigns. We do not write editorials supporting candidates and we take no delight in pointing out the obvious fact that Moody’s actions are disrespectful to the public she claims to want to serve.

GUEST OPINION

Yes, politics do matter

It amazes me how some people often miss the point who email, write or submit letters to the editor in response to something I have written. I cannot write a book-length explanation for the points I try to make, and that is part of the problem as context is often lost with brevity, but you do the best you can. Many of those who respond actually write quite well and I must say make some good points. Apparently my article on African-Americans coming home to the Republican Party hit a nerve, especially with my comment that I don’t think a Republican ever lynched a black man. It’s a harsh statement, but it does not take a “rocket scientist” to understand that this is true. Still, the response was well written and very good. Yes, I am trying to use free speech to make a political point, and politics are important. Politics affects all of us in drastic ways, and the differences in ideology should be debated and discussed. Next to religion, there is no other institutional organization that affects us more. Politics takes and spends our money. Politics decides life and J IM HARDIN death issues. Politics demands justice and sometimes delivers the opposite. I’m sorry if being political offends some, but I am not sorry that I am political. My family was among the few Republicans in south-central Tennessee when the Civil War broke out and they fought on the Union side, opposed slavery and rejected succession. My great-great-great grandmother and others were run out of Wayne County for a while, seen as family of traitors. I can assure you that they and no other Republican they knew were invited to join the KKK or attend a lynching. What really grains me is how the narrative has convinced many African-Americans that they are better off under Democratic policies. Before the Great Society welfare legislation passed, out of wedlock births were less among blacks than among whites. With multiple generations on public assistance, high dropout rates, high crime rates, high substance abuse rates, can we say that Democratic policies of cradle-to-grave care have improved the lives of African Americans? Except for the drop-out rate, all the other areas were low for African-Americans until after the government took over care for many. Don’t get me wrong, many government actions and policies were good and improved the lot of all minori-

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Upset about district Due to recent redistricting, I will be in District 8 currently represented by Stephen Fincher. At this point, I am very disappointed. I have contacted his office twice, and I have never been treated so disrespectfully. On the first contact, I spoke to someone in his office regarding the adoption tax credit. The staffer politely tried to get me off the phone as quickly as possible without even getting my contact information. I had to request a follow-up contact before the staffer took my name. The second time I spoke to his office I was given another polite brush off. I have yet to receive any contact from Mr. Fincher’s office. This level of service is troubling because congressmen should be more respectful of their constituents. Patronizing comments, vague answers, and non-responses show a lack of regard for a person’s intelligence and worth. People deserve better treatment from their elected representatives.

HARDIN

Continued from A4 ties. The Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments, the Civil and Voting Rights Acts, and other government actions were great strides in helping America live up to the ideal that “all men are created equal.” They were also political actions. You see, politics can make a difference for good. Just because Republicans don’t like cradle-to-grave policies that make people dependent (another form of slavery), does not mean Republicans are anti-minority.

Republicans decry the policies, not the race. Welfare dependency is just as bad for the Appalachian Mountain whites as it is for the inner city blacks. Rather than argue the points, Democrats simply charge Republicans as racists when they challenge these programs. It’s lame, but unfortunately it is an emotional appeal that works. By the way, it was Lyndon Johnson, not Roosevelt who was recorded using the “N” word. Maybe motives don’t matter to some

readers, but they do to me. What is written on a person’s heart is what I care about, especially when speaking of religion or politics.

Brighton Debe Simonton

Aloha My Brighton Friends, What a fabulous time I'm having in Hawaii!! The weather is superb of course and the company is even better!! I arrived here in Kailua, Oahu on Sunday and am spending the week with my sweet Danielle and her family. We have a full week of planned activities. Everyone is doing well. Riggs is working on his math and as a kindergartener he can do basic math. Jackson, a first grader, is typing 20 words a minute on the computer, which I can't even do at times! They are so exceptional even if they are my grands. Paul is busy with his business: training, hiring, putting out fires, and just basic business everyday life of a small business. Danielle is doing well, she is busy keeping up with the boys and getting rest during this time of her pregnancy. She has a glow about her! The first night I was here we went to the air show on the base. The Blue Angels are incredible. I was amazed at the precision and timing in the show. We all really enjoyed it. Today we went to the beach and I was amazed again. The turquoise water is void of any debris at all and Kailua Beach didn't have any thing swimming around but me! Wonderful! This afternoon we walked the downtown area and

Hello dear readers: It is Tuesday morning.... the sun is shining and not a cloud in the sky. My computer desk sits at the window in our den. I have a clear view of the lake that sits down the slope. It is so pretty this AM. There is not a ripple on the lake anywhere. It is so peaceful and quiet, not a duck or goose to be seen anywhere. We are so thankful for this site of the lake. There is an island on this side of the lake. The former owners put a bridge across to the island. It has a giant cedar tree and four pieces of shrubby on it. It is so pretty to look out and see this sight. M.D. has to use his weed eater to cut the island.....the bridge is not wide enough to get the lawn mower across. The lake is not part of our property but we maintain it, because we get to look at the lake. Well, our grand daughter (she just finished RN school) is not getting to go to work till the 15th of this month. Personnel did not get her paper work together. It is working out fine, she needed some time away from the

snacked a little. We weren't away too long because she had a new stove delivered to the house. Tomorrow I get to cook dinner! Their oven had quit and all they had was the cook top. I plan on cooking a southern meal with the trimmings. And apparently they have all been waiting on me to give the haircuts cause they are really in need. I can't begin to describe the beauty of this place. Everything is breathtaking. And the air smells of floral (mostly puakenikeni and plumeria) and salt. Not really like the gulf salt smell but more like the ocean side. I can't describe the difference but it is. Those of you who have been around both a lot probably know what I mean. Oh well, more to come next week as I will have just arrived back. Now on to other stuff! The Cardinals beat Munford this past Friday night, and did by a pretty good margin in the second half. Way to go, Cards! I will be missing this week’s game at home against Carver. This will be the last home game of the season. So please get out there and support your Cardinals. The food is good. The team is great. The band is very entertaining. I have some Happy Birthdays to share for the last couple of weeks: Dawn Carmack, Ellen Buttram, Lynn Strong, Susan Fowler, Samantha Keahey, Tim Driscoll, April Hogeda, hospital. She said, she was so tire of being "poor." She is ready for a payday. Our youngest granddaughter is now 14 and goes to Brighton High School She is in the band. She is so busy with the band. They play at every ball game. They take trips to compete with other bands. It is nice that she can take part in the band. Thanks to Rev. Grace Phelps for filling in for Bro. Ramsey, while he was in Georgia. Georgia is his home state. We feel close to Bro. Ramsey, because Georgia is the place where we both born and our three children were born in Georgia too. Mark your calendars for fall revival with the Circuit Riders, October 21 - 23. Love and prayers.

The Civil War and Tipton County: July-August 1862 By Russell B. Bailey, Tipton County Historian. The U. S. Ship Shingiss sunk 7 miles south of Fort Pillow on July 9th. Union newspaper accounts reported the following: “Passengers from Brownsville, Tennessee say a band of rebels under Col. Faulkner entered that place a week ago Friday. A number of men bailing cotton were taken prisoner and 400 bales of cotton burned. Five hundred Federal cavalry arrived that same evening. The rebels fled but were pursued and a slight engagement took place on the (Hatchie) and Forded Deer rivers. A number of rebels were captured. The ferries and bridges had been destroyed. Tipton’s three cavalry companies were among the 696 officers and men of the 7th Tennessee present for duty under Colonel W. H. Jackson at the end of July. Including those absent, the regiment totaled 1,087 troopers. On the 25th, five hundred men of the 7th Tennessee assembled at Holly Springs under Col. Joseph Wheeler with 500 men, and started on a raid to West Tennessee. The command captured Federal stores at Grand Junction and got

to within 10 miles of Bolivar when the 7th Tennessee was ordered to return to Holly Springs. Letters from a rebel mail captured at Covington (July) 29th indicate that the rebels are about to make a movement on Chattanooga and Nashville.” On July 31st the Grenada Appeal reported: Major William W. Faulkner had captured Brownsville and was burning all the cotton back of Fort Pillow.” The Tipton County officials adopted the following: “Ordered by the Court that all persons having (indigent) funds in hand for families of volunteers who have deserted or voluntarily quit the Confederate army, pay the same into the hands of the County Trustee…and that he is not to pay any more to the families of deserters.” General Braxton Bragg began his planned invasion of Kentucky in late July. His Confederate army began moving south from Tupelo, Mississippi on cars of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. The route, via Meridan to Mobile and then to Montgomery, Atlanta, and on to Chattanooga. “The 776-mile trip over six railroads was admirably carried out in record time.”

Tipton’s men of the 51st Tennessee left Tupelo on July 22 and did not arrive at Montgomery until July 30. They arrived at Chattanooga August 1. The men of the Tipton Rifles, 4th Tennessee Infantry left Tupelo on July 23d, arriving at Mobile the next day. From there they took the steamer Marengo along the Alabama River to Montgomery where they arrived on the 28th. From Montgomery the regiment took rail cars to Atlanta where they arrived on the evening of July 30th. From Atlanta, the regiment traveled 140 miles by rail to Chattanooga, arriving July 31st. On August 1, the men of the 4th Tennessee pitched their tents at the foot of Missionary Ridge. Captain James I. Hall recorded in his journal that Bragg’s army remained at Chattanooga for a month. He recalled that the 9th Tennessee Infantry pitched their camps four miles south of Chattanooga at the former home of John Ross, Chief of the Cherokees. On Aug. 6, Colonel M. K. Lawler and a detachment of Federal soldiers were at Brownsville. Men of the 2d Illinois Cavalry scouted down the Hatchie to Green’s Ferry (opposite Garland).

A student at Covington High School, she plays basketball and takes part in cross country, track, cheerleading, soccer and tennis. The daughter of Samuel and Nacquia Johnson, she is a member of the

National Junior Honor Society. She won the Miss Junior Delta Fair pageant and Miss Outer County in 2012 and was named Miss Alpha Arts and is part of the Civic and Social Club.

Sheriff's office honored for safety record Tipton County Sheriff’s Office has been recognized as one of the premier law enforcement agencies in Tennessee and in the nation for its traffic safety program. The sheriff’s office was named third in the nation in the Sheriff’s Category for its size and first in Tennessee in its category. Tipton County was named first in the nation in 2008-2009 and second in 2009-2010. It received first place honors in the state in 2008-2009, and second in 2010-2011. The awards are presented annually as part of the Law Enforcement Challenge that includes sheriff’s offices, police departments, and highway patrol districts. It is a state and national traffic safety awards program that recognizes excellent law enforcement traffic safety programs. The Challenge is sponsored in Tennessee by the Governor’s Highway Safety Office, and nationally by the National Sheriff’s Office and the International Association of Chiefs of Police. Numerous private sponsors provide support for the program. Director Kendell Poole and West Tennessee Law Enforcement Liaison Brenda Jones of the Governor’s Highway Safety Office has both contributed heavily through local law enforcement agencies to the safety on our roadways.

“I am always honored and humbled to accept these awards for the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office,” said Sheriff J.T. “Pancho” Chumley. “They speak well for the men and women of this office who care so much for the safety and security of our citizens, and who put so much of themselves into their work. We are pleased to receive the awards since they are the result of careful consideration among the many law enforcement agencies who tirelessly promote traffic safety in their jurisdictions,” Sheriff Chumley said. “But one measure of our success in Tipton County must be shared with the Tennessee Highway Patrol and the five city police departments. We ended 2011 with only three traffic fatalities when our average is 10 per year.” “My goal is not to earn awards, but to save lives and suffering due to traffic crashes. Unfortunately the fatality count for Tipton County is up to five this year. The Sheriff’s Office with other law enforcement agencies in the county, and with the financial support and training provided through the Governor’s Highway Safety Office, we are able to conduct extra traffic enforcement activities throughout the year.” Sheriff Chumley concluded.

FRIDAY FOOTBALL: CARVER @ BRIGHTON • COVINGTON @ HAYWOOD • TRA @ MIDDLETON

Offensive explosion

Cardinals put up huge numbers, dispatch Munford in key game By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com

Brighton's offense has put up some big numbers over the last few years since head coach Will Wolfe installed a no-huddle, pass-heavy offense. But considering the Cardinals' opponent and the ramifications of the game, what the unit accomplished Friday night at Munford probably tops any game in the Cardinals' history. Cardinal senior Brady Stewart completed 22 of 38 passes for a career-high 507 yards and three touchdowns, senior wideout Artez Harris caught nine balls for 259 yards and senior tailback Antonio Dickerson rushed for five touchdowns as Brighton rolled to a 5633 District 13-AAA win in front of a packed house. Munford (4-3 overall, 1-2 district) tried to keep pace for a while. Cougar quarterback Hunter Harden hit Antonio Moore for a 37-yard touchdown with 9:01 left in the third quarter to trim the deficit to 28-19. It was all Brighton (3-3, 1-1) after that though. Dickerson capped off a six-play drive with a five yard touchdown run with 7:57 left in the third and score again two minutes later, running untouched up the middle for a 47-yard score to push the lead to 4219. “You got to give to Coach Wolfe for calling the right plays and putting us in the right positions,” said Dickerson, who enjoyed his second five-TD game of the season and finished with 138 yards on 21 carries. “Then you gotta give it to the receivers for turning on the jets and getting it to the end zone.” Early on it looked like Brighton was going to win going away. The Cardinals scored touchdowns on their first two

possessions on TD runs of eight and two yards by Dickerson to go up 14-0. Harden, who also had a big game with 307 yards on 21-of-40 passing, hit T.J. Plymouth (seven catches, 120 yards) on a 19-yard TD pass early in the second quarter and D'Marious Exum (15 carries, 120 yards)

broke a 57-yard run with 5:17 left in the first half to cut the lead to 14-13. With 49 seconds left in the half, Harris caught a short pass in the flat and broke a tackle en route to a 68-yard touchdown to give the Cards a 21-13 lead. SEE BHS, PAGE A12

Lavelle takes 7th at state By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Tipton County was well-represented at last week's Class AAA high school golf state tournament held at the Willowbrook Golf Club in Manchester. A year after shooting a 151 at state and finishing 28th, Munford senior Easton Lavelle fared even better this time around. After shooting a 76 on Tuesday, he made a run up the leader board on Wednesday, shooting a final round 69 to finish seventh, just four shots behind Farragut's Stuart Thomas, who won in a playoff. Brighton junior Logan Watkins also made his presence felt, following up a 72 on Tuesday SEE GOLF, PAGE A12

Covington invaded Gibson County Friday night and ran the Pioneers out of the settlement with a 64-19 blowout win. Following a game-opening three and out by Gibson, CHS took possession at their own 40-yard line. On his first touch of the night, Johnston White sprinted 60 yards for a Charger score and it was on. Covington (6-0 overall, 3-0 District 13-AA, No. 2 in AP Class 4A state poll) scored 22 first-period points that included a 37-yard TD scamper by Jalen Henderson and a 33-yard scoring strike from quarterback T.A. Watson to Carlos Williams. Twenty-one more points went on the board in the second stanza that featured an eight-yard run to pay dirt by Daiquon Norfolk, another 65-yard TD run by White and a 45-yard TD pass from Watson to Trae Wilson. Gibson County got on the scoreboard twice in the second period with a 79-yard drive on their fifth possession. Jake Wiley ran for 14 yards and a TD for the Pioneers and was joined in the end zone by QB Devante Powell on an 11-yard run which was set up by a CHS muffed punt at the Covington 32-yard line. White added two more TDs in the third period on runs of 14 and five yards. He netted 259 yards and four scores for the night on 16 carries. Aretavious Brown closed the scoring for the Chargers in the fourth with a 61-yard run. Henderson added 90 yards for CHS, which totaled 470 yards on 34 carries and seven touchdowns. Watson was a perfect 4 for 4 passing with 112 yards and two SEE CHS, PAGE A12

Covington soccer defeats Crockett Co. By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com The Lady Charger soccer team defeated Crockett County 2-0 on Sept. 20 to improve to 6-3 (6-1 district). “They came in with a 5-2 record and a history of some good numbers on quality teams,” Covington coach Robert Luttrell said. Brianna Dean scored in the first 5 minutes of the match and Hannah Howard closed it out with a goal in the last 10 minutes. Covington tied Martin Westview 1-1 on Sept. 24 in what Luttrell described as a “physical game”. Scoreless in the first half, Westview scored while CHS had a player down who eventually required attention at the ER.

Sarah Anne Franklin got the tying goal for Covington on a corner kick inside 10 minutes. “The confidence and heart of this team is a pleasure to be around,” said Luttrell. “We never feel out of a game. If we can just stay healthy.” Health became an issue in out of district with losses to South Gibson 2-0 on Sept. 25 and 6-0 to Munford on Sept. 27. “We are really beat up with six starters on the bench for the Munford game,” Luttrell said. “I rested some nagging injuries in these out-of-district contests. We are mature and mentally tough to know what is best for the team. The girls playing who have not played as much are doing well under the circumstances and our new goal keeper improved all game long.”

big plays that went back and forth and the inability of us to stop them,” said Munford coach Matt Saunders. “Trying to keep up with Brighton, trying to outscore Brighton, it's hard to do. You can't keep up with them and try to match touchdown for touchdown.” With the win, the Car-

Celebrating Newspapers Bill Simonton brought the news to Tipton County residents for 25 years

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Editor's note: National Newspaper Week is Oct. 7-13. In celebration of that, all this month we will feature former employees of The Leader and ask them to look back on their lives in the newspaper business.

On a cool October morning, Bill Simonton was sipping coffee at Rite Aid in Covington with longtime friend Russell Phelps. The duo, plus others like Bill Jim Davis, meet there most mornings to talk about life and get their morning fix of caffeine. A song by Miley Cyrus was coming through the drug store's speaker system at a low volume. Simonton didn't seem to notice. If he did, it's unlikely he would have been familiar with the teen pop star's work. At 83, Simonton really doesn't concern himself with such trivial matters. Although he's been out of the newspaper business for 37 years, he's still known as one of the people who brought news to Tipton County residents for the better part of 25 years. He started working at what was then The Covington Leader in 1937 when he was eight. His father, Bill Simonton Sr., owned the paper then. “I was the low man on the totem pole,” says Simonton. “I was making 10 cents an hour. I wasn't really worth it, but I was family.” After working in the bindery as a child, he moved up to the press as a teenager. In 1950, Simonton began writing, and seven years later he became editor, a post he held until 1975 when he decided to get out of the business. He had seen his father stress out over the job for years and didn't want to suffer the same fate. “The place was about to eat me alive,” Simonton says. He chose George Whitley as his successor and went on to work at Clopay and later the City of Covington as a

purchasing and personnel director. He still reads newspapers and likes to point out how different they are these days. “We had as many as 20 elements (stories, photos) a page back then,” Simonton says. “Now you have four or five … There's a lot more white space now.” But don't misunderstand him. He's not one of those old guys who's constantly complaining that everything is worse now than it was in his day. “I'm a man of change,” Simonton says. “I like change.” He will, however, not hesitate to criticize they way newspaper people write today. “I was taught to write tight,” Simonton says. “I don't think people do that today. My uncle (Alison Simonton) always said newspapers are for people in a hurry … You put the most important thing first. It was necessary the way papers were made then because printers cut from the end of the story.” He still remembers several big stories that he covered.

The Co-op gas pump near the railroad in Covington exploded one day. “It was at night and I was in the office,” Simonton says. “When it went off, I thought someone had thrown something against the building. I got some great pictures, but we had to print it in black and white. I always regretted that.” He sometimes gets asked about the future of newspapers. “I think the newspaper will exist, but that paper right there won't,” he says, pointing at a copy of a newspaper. “It will all be electronic.” Simonton's wife, Jane, died in 2006. The couple was married for 55 years. He has a daughter, Gail Simonton, who is a retired attorney in Washington, D.C. She comes to town to visit when she can. Kevin Simonton, Bill's son, lives in Cordova and works for FedEx. He has one granddaughter, Savannah. These days, Simonton runs errands around town after his morning coffee and still does a

little cooking to occupy his time. He stops by The Leader on occasion, but says, “I know you guys are busy, and I'm not. I don't like to get in the way.”

While he moves a little slower this days, Simonton still has the quick wit that he was known for in his younger days. “I just want to sit back,” Simonton says

with a sly smile on his face, “and criticize people who don't do it the way I did.”

'Field of Flags' opening ceremony will be Oct. 12 The Covington and South Tipton Exchange Clubs are presenting "A Field Of Flags" to benefit the Carl Perkins Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse. For the first time this year there will be an opening ceremony to kick off the campaign on Oct. 12 at 10 a.m. at Patriot Park in Covington. Veterans and/or families of veterans from World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom will be on hand to place the first flags in the park. A flag will also be flown to honor active duty soldiers and another to remember the missing in action. The objectives through this joint endeavor are to promote community awareness regarding patriotism and raise much-needed funds to secure continued services to children who have been abused and neglected in Tipton County. A display of American flags with each flag representing the life of a patriot will be presented, whether it be a war veteran, active military personnel, National Guard member, reservist, firefighter or law enforcement officer who serves in our community today, or in memory of those who have served in the military of their country, or someone who has lost their life in the line of duty. For each person honored or remembered, an American flag will be placed bearing the honoree’s name and the donor’s name. Each flag will be three by five feet in size and attached to an eight-foot flag pole. Flags will fly Nov.1-14 to celebrate the Veteran’s Day holiday at the following locations: Atoka, Brighton, Covington, and Munford. The flag will be the property of the donor after Nov. 14. The cost of the flag will be $25. For more information, contact any Exchange Club member or the Carl Perkins Center at 476-1515. The deadline is Oct. 26.

The Exchange Club is honoring veterans with its annual "Field of Flags" campaign, which will begin Oct. 12 with an opening ceremony.

COMMENTARY

Shine His Light, Show His Love, Serve Him Faithfully By ZACH COOK Special to The Leader It should come as no surprise to faithful followers of Christ that the world we live in today is becoming darker and darker. God’s Word has much to say about the darkness that will exist and persist in the latter days of the world as the coming of the Son of Man draws nearer. Paul warned Timothy in 2 Timothy 3:1-5 about the dangers of living in darkness when he said, You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that! This passage should also serve as a warning to Christians today that we are called to be set apart from the world and let the light of Christ shine forth from our lives. Jesus petitioned the disciples and His followers to be light to penetrate the darkness around them. Jesus said in Matthew 5 that we are to be the light of the earth. You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to

all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. (5:14-16) You see, as followers of Jesus, we are to be set apart as an example of the light of Christ and live in a manner that brings honor and glory to God. Instead of standing idly by and watching our fellow brothers and sisters plunge deeper and deeper into sin, wickedness, darkness, and suffering, we should be demonstrating to them what righteous and holy living is like in both word and deed. We must first do this by sharing the truth of God’s Word with them and pointing them to their sinfulness, the atoning sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross by taking on the punishment for their sins, and their need to repent of their sins and put their faith and trust in Jesus to save them from the punishment awaiting those who reject Him (Romans 3:23, 6:23). But what is lacking in many churches and in individual Christians’ lives today is a demonstration of the love of Christ in a real and practical way. I would say most, if not all, of the people in our community and region have heard about Jesus and been presented the Gospel. But how many of them have seen “Jesus With Skin On?” We must be the hands and feet of Christ to a lost and dying world around us. We must get out of our comfortable lifestyles and religious routines and serve others by using the spiritual gifts that he has given every believer (See 1 Corinthians 12-14). The manifestation of this service may look different in each of our lives – we may visit

Church Bulletins Church bulletins, the section where we will share news briefs and church-related events, will run when space is available. To submit something to this section, call Echo Day at 901476-7116 or send an email to eday@covingtonleader.com. October 13 River of Life Assembly of God Church will host an arts and crafts festival from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Vendors will have plenty of handmade and baked items for sale. The church is located at 220 Beaver Road in Munford. ON-GOING Story Time on the Square will resume this Saturday, September 15. Children aged birth through 12 years old are invited to hear the story of David becoming king and his battle with Goliath. We

will have children’s praise music, story time featuring the Jesus Storybook Bible, small groups based on age, and a treat to end our day together. The fun begins at 10 a.m. at the park on the square in Covington on the corner of E. Liberty and N. Main. This event is brought to the community by members of various churches and denominations in our community. An exercise class meets each Tuesday and Thursday at Central Christian Church, 400 S. Maple, Covington, at 6 p.m. No charge. Everyone welcome. First Baptist Church Covington will host Awana every Sunday evening at 5 p.m. This group is open to children from PreK3 to sixth

the elderly and encourage them; we may serve food in a homeless shelter; we may pick up trash and help clean up a neighborhood; we may read God’s Word to children of the community; or we may go on a mission trip and be the hands and feet of Christ in a different setting, but the point is this: We are commanded to shine the light of Christ into the world by showing His love and serving Him faithfully using the gifts and talents He has so graciously given us. Andrew Murray so aptly captures the importance of shining God’s light and serving Him faithfully in the following quote from his book, “Working for God”, when he says, “As needful as that the sun shines every day – yea, more so – is it that every believer lets his light shine before men. Christ needs you urgently to let His light shine through you. Perishing men around you need your light, if they are to find their way to God. God needs you to let His glory be seen through you. As wholly as a lamp is given up to lighting a room, every believer ought to give himself up to be the light of a dark world.” So let me encourage you, dear brother and sister in Christ to let your light shine in the darkness by showing Jesus’ love to the world around you in service to His kingdom. Pray and ask the LORD to reveal to you how you might use the gifts He has given you to impact those around you for the sake of the Gospel and for the glory of God. It may seem that the darkness is overshadowing our world in these days, but HIS LIGHT will always penetrate the darkness!

Our 6th, 7th, and 8th graders have already conquered the first ThinkLink tests and our 8th graders are preparing for the ACT Explore test coming up at the end of October. All students in grades 3-8 will participate in the State mandated Constructed Response Math Assessment on October 22. Please have all students at school on testing days!! Our third graders recently took a field trip to the Brooks Art Museum in Memphis and had a wonderful time learning about how art is used to tell stories and preserve history. We also had an

amazing celebration in honor of Constitution Day in which all our students and staff participated. Our arts team and students are also hard at work. We are especially proud of our CIAA choir who held a car wash last Saturday. Thank you to all who participated in helping this group raise much needed funds. Our choir, band, and dance students will be demonstrating their wonderful talents at the opening ceremonies of the BBQ fest October 4th at Cobb-Parr Park in Covington.

CES principal Glass reassigned Stevenson makes By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Longtime Crestview Elementary School principal Betty Glass has been reassigned to interim elementary schools supervisor effective Oct. 1, Buddy Bibb, director of schools, announced this week. Glass, who was principal at the elementary school in Covington

for 10 years, was named to her new position after Patsy Fee, the former head of elementary schools, was tabbed by Bibb to head up the extended learning time grant program. “We just got that grant,” Bibb said. “We're really excited about it. It gives our students a chance to increase their achievement levels.” Fee will oversee study time for

students that will take place 45 minutes before school and three hours after. Anne Adams, who was an assistant principal at Crestview, is now the interim principal. “All three of them have a lot of experience and have done great jobs,” Bibb said. “I expect them to continue to do that.”

Attorney to speak at DSCC Oct. 22 Gary Smith, 2012 president of the Memphis Bar Association, will speak at Dyersburg State Community College's Jimmy Naifeh Center, on Oct. 22 from 6-7 p.m. Smith, an attorney with Apperson Crump in Memphis, received his juris doctorate from the University of Memphis in 1973 and is a member of the Tennessee Bar Association, the National Trial Lawyers Association which named him one of the nation's top 100 trial lawyers, and the American Board of Trial Lawyers. In his career, he has served in numerous other positions with several legal organizations and he was also a member of the Tennessee Supreme Court's Disciplinary Board from 1991-1997. His discussion will focus on educating students and members of the public

on Constitutional government. Smith took a pledge to educate members of the general public on the importance of government as it was designed by our country's Founding Fathers. The program, called Law Rules, seeks to, "provide a non-partisan civic lesson in the vital role that an independent judiciary has played in this country and will continue to play if this country is to have a future," Smith said. DSCC's Jimmy Naifeh Center Dean, Dr. Jamie Frakes, said he's looking forward to the program and he invites members of the public to be on hand to hear Smith. "He is an impressive speaker," Frakes said. "I think all who attend will find this very informative. We'd love members of the community to come and join us."

Brighton High horse judging team takes 12th Brighton High Schools horse judging team galloped past the competition to place twelfth out of seventy-two teams at Tennessee’s FFA State Horse Judging Career Development Event. The competition was held at Middle Tennessee State University in the Miller Coliseum on September 11, 2012. Hundreds of students from West, Middle, and East Tennessee all gathered to compete in the career development event (CDE) of horse judging and for the coveted title of FFA state horse judging champions. Brighton’s team consisted of 12th grader Katie Harden, 11th grader Lauren Crow, 12th grader Chelsea Davis 11th grader Whitney Stevens, and advisor/coach Mr. William Lea. This team of well prepared and eager

FFA students traveled half way across the state of Tennessee to display the hard work and dedication of the Brighton FFA program and to bring honor to their chapter. The competition was, in all, about five hours long. Those five hours felt like five days to our horse judging team as they anxiously waited for the revealing of their ranking. Finally, the judges released the places and Brighton High School placed an accomplishing twelfth place out of seventy-two. When questioned on how she felt when she heard the news, team member Lauren Crow responded, “We were proud of what we had accomplished. No, it was not as high as we wanted, but now we are even more motivated to do better next year.”

Double Take Photo of the Week • october 4, 2012

This is l-r Emerson Able, III / Maurine “Mickey” Cannon / Jesse J Cannon, Jr. MD. Dr. & Mrs. Cannon of Covington are celebrating 39 years of marriage. Dr. Cannon’s mission is to encourage leadership development in the next generation. Dr. Cannon feels there is a major deficit in leadership. This can be seen is three key areas, Faith, Family & Public Service. Dr. Cannon says by developing leaders with an emphasis on Faith, Family & Public Service particularly in the African American community could be the prescription for change. Black (African American) leaders are important. But let us recognize the most important influences of change are parents, grandparents (family). Parents, parenting, mother’s and father’s taking responsibility for their children is the most effective leadership tool available today.
