SEAL’s parents to speak Sunday Parents of fallen West TN Navy SEAL recount faith

By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com

Navy SEAL CPO Aaron Vaughn was killed on Aug. 6 when the Chinook transporting him and 37 others was shot down.

This Sunday the family of Navy SEAL Chief Petty Officer Aaron Vaughn will speak at First Baptist Church of Covington about their son, his faith in God, their family’s faith and how their beliefs and trust in

the Lord is helping them to cope with the loss of their oldest child and only son, brother, husband and father.

Vaughn had been in the Navy for almost 10 years, joining on his 21st birthday the summer following 9/11. He was a member of the Navy’s elite SEAL Team Six, the unit credited for killing Osama Bin Laden. On Aug. 6, insurgents shot down the CH47 Chinook helicopter he and 37 other service members were riding in. Thirty service members were killed, including 22 SEALs

from Vaughn’s unit. It was the deadliest single incident in the nearly 10-year-old Afghanistan war.

Vaughn was born in West Tennessee in Union City and graduated from Obion County Central High School. According to his family, Vaughn knew he was going to be a SEAL team member, even when he was a small child.

“He always said he was going to be a SEAL,” said his father, Bill Vaughn, proudly. “When he tore his ACL in college, he worked hard to strengthen his knee so

he could become a SEAL. The Navy didn’t learn of his injury until he was half way through training and they decided since he had made it that far, he could finish.”

Vaughn had met the love of his life, Kimberly, when she was a Washington Redskins cheerleader and visiting overseas on a USO tour. They had two children, a son Reagan, who turned 2-years-old in September, and 4-month-old Chamberlyn, who was born two weeks before her father deployed to Afghanistan.

Bethel COGIC expands into Munford

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com

The answer to two prayers came in August when Pastor Dickerson Wells said the Lord spoke to him while driving.

“He said ‘go to Munford,’” Wells recalls. “I’d never been to Munford, but I took a left turn; 30 days later we were closing.”

On Sunday, Oct. 9, Bethel Church of God in Christ’s Munford campus officially opened in the former Munford Presbyterian Church.

The 100-year-old property, located at 25 N. Tipton in the heart of downtown, has been up for sale for most of the year.

Citing a need for growth and relocation, members of the Presbyterian Church moved into what was once known as its Family Life Center, across from the church building on Main Street, this spring.

And, also needing room for growth, Bethel COGIC was hoping to expand its congregation in South Tipton County.

“We wanted to move into South Tipton because of the growth of this area and the growth of Bethel’s Memphis campus from this area,” Wells said. “So far we’ve had a wonderful reception

from the City of Munford, businesses, churches and residents.”

During the worship celebration on Sunday, mayor Dwayne Cole said it was an “exciting” day.

“It’s a day of new beginnings, of passion, of hope, of vision,” he said.

Cole referenced the city’s original name, Mt. Zion; its beginnings as a community that grew up around Mt. Zion Methodist Church; and the way church has been at the forefront of the community since it began.

He also commended the congregation on its audacity.

“Munford is 92 percent Caucasian,” said an animated Cole. “You didn’t choose a side street; in an incredibly daring move, you chose right smack in

the middle of downtown.

But the Kingdom of God is for the daring, the bold, the audacious.”

Munford Presbyterian’s pastor Mike Gibson also spoke during Sunday’s grand opening celebration, sharing that he’d only ever been pastor at the church that now belongs to Bethel.

“This is very emotional for me; I’ve been a pastor since 1988 and this has been the only church I’ve ever pastored,” Gibson said.

“But the church has been dormant for a year and now there’s new life in it.”

Bethel COGIC began in 1950 when missionary Lula M. Davis began a non-denominational prayer and Bible band at the home of Mose and Ida Sutton in Memphis. The following year, Dr. C. C. Carlock or-

ganized the band of believers and new converts into a congregation, relocating them to 218 Tillman Avenue as the Hebrew Church of God in Christ.

In 1958, the congregation moved to a small church on Princeton Avenue; four years later they were on the move again, this time to Meagher Street after purchasing property and constructing a new church In 1988, Elder Dickerson L. S. Wells established Bethesda Church of God in Christ. In January 1992, a month after Pastor Carlock passed away, Wells was appointed pastor of the Hebrew COGIC congregation, merging it with Bethesda.

A former Memphis City Schools educator, Wells has now been leading this congregation for 20 years. He and his wife, Lady Valesa S.J. Wells, whose parents live in Covington, are the proud parents of four children ages 16-25.

In 1998, Pastor Wells led the congregation in the purchase of their current facility at 2216 Clifton Avenue.

In 2005, the church was renamed Bethel.

On Sunday, Wells said the church’s theme since December 2010 has been “the glory of the Lord revealed for you.”

If you’re looking for the Atoka Police Department, soon you’ll have to look somewhere other than city hall.

Last weekend, the department moved to a temporary location on Wesley Reed Drive in order to allow more space for offices for other municipal employees.

“We’ve just outgrown this building,” said Town Administrator Brian Koral.

“We’ve expanded this facility as much as we can.”

City Hall, located at 334 Atoka-Munford Avenue, currently houses Koral’s office, the police department, the water department and administrative offices.

New parks and recreation director Brian Peel’s office is located at a folding table in the back of the city’s meeting room. Public works director Daniel Lovett’s office is in a telephone closet.

Mayor Daryl Walker, like his predecessor Charles Walker, does not have an office. And this, clearly, is a problem.

“There’s no place for the mayor or aldermen to privately meet with citizens,” Koral said. “They need to have some place.”

The easiest way to relieve some space, he said, was to move the police department to an alternate location. But it’s only temporary; Koral said many of the town’s aldermen wouldn’t agree to the move without that condition.

For years, city officials have discussed the town’s growing pains, its struggle to provide an office for its mayor, and Koral said the time has come to explore options.

Site plans are currently in progress to renovate or rebuild city hall, allowing for a better experience for citizens.

“The setup we have now is just not user-friendly,” he said. “It needs to better serve our residents.”

On Tuesday, Oct. 4, the city adopted a resolution approving a site plan agreement with Fisher & Arnold, Inc. for the proposed new city hall. The master planning process, which will include meetings with staff members to identify space and projecting the town’s future needs related to its operations, will cost an estimated $4,995.

Cotton yield expected to increase

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com

all cotton,” Templeton said. “Now its more like 25 percent of my acreage.

It used to be 85 to 90 percent … With grain prices up, I’ve had to change things.”

“The reason the (cotton) acres have decreased is because of (higher) grain prices,” Zarecor said. “A lot of cotton farmers are bean and corn growers now.”

Amanda Bell, an equipment sales person for Case, rode with Templeton Thursday as he defoliated his crop.

She has noticed some of the difficulties cotton farmers have experienced this year.

“The defoliant hasn’t worked as well,” she said. “Some of that has to do with the weather …

I know some guys who have to defoliate two and three times.”

Despite the drop in cotton production in Tipton County and nationwide, cotton is still a huge part of the local economy.

Zarecor estimates that Tipton County cotton sales will be in the $23 million range this year, with a cost of about $400 an acre to grow. The average local yield is 800 pounds an acre.

Included in the equation is about $12 million annually in farm equipment and agriculturalrelated sales.

“Some people may think they see farmers getting rich,” Zarecor said, “but they don’t realize it takes a lot more money to produce than it used to … The last 20 years yields have gotten better because of technology, but yields have not increased as much as the costs.”

In the early 1990s there were seven to eight cotton gins in Tipton County. Today there are three: Tennessee Gins, Hatchie Gin and Burlison Company.

Russell Bailey has been

Cotton isn’t produced at the same rate it once was in Tipton County. But production is up compared to last year.

Glenn Zarecor, the executive director of the USDA’s Farm Service Agency in Tipton County, remembers a time in the last 20 years when 75,000 acres of cotton were planted in the county.

As recently as 2002, Zarecor said, cotton plants took up 56,000 acres.

This year there were approximately 30,000 acres planted in the county, compared to 26,408 a year ago.

“It’s nothing to write home about, but it’s not disastrous,” Zarecor said when asked to assess this year’s Tipton County cotton crop. “Its’ about average. There’s some real good cotton out there, and there’s some average cotton.”

“With the drought, it’s still pretty good,” said Booker T. Leigh, director of the UT Extension Office in Tipton County.

“There have been some better prices this year.

These are the best prices I’ve seen since I’ve been here … Cotton prices are up nationwide.”

Last Thursday, local cotton farmer David Templeton could be found defoliating some acreage on his land on Solo Road in Northeast Tipton County.

“It’s looking like it’s going to be a little below expectations,” Templeton said. “Just too much heat, too much dry weather.”

The economy has also had an affect on cotton production.

All commodity prices are up, as is almost always the case in a sluggish economy. But grain prices have risen higher than cotton, relative to production costs.

“I used to plant almost

901-475-0111 in the cotton business for decades. He is currently the manager of Tennessee Gins in Covington.

Bailey estimates that his company has produced close to one million cotton bales since 1973.

He acknowledges that things can be tough for cotton farmers today.

“With the price of equipment and everything else, there are tremendous odds to overcome just to stay in the black,” Bailey said.

But he also points out how vital the cotton crop is to the local economy with many jobs and dozens of businesses dependent on cotton.

“The agriculture dollar will revolve in the community seven or eight times,” Bailey said.

“When the farmer does good, the whole community does good … It’s like the advertisement says: It’s part of the fabric of your life.”

Festival honors traditional way of life

COGIC

By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com Sorghum cane has been used in the United States since about the 1850s when it was discovered it was a perfect sweetener to use in food and drinks. By the 1920s the US was producing 34 million gallons a year but production declined after World War II. Across the South, farmers are trying to bring back sorghum and a simpler way of life. Here in Tipton County, Tim Ammons and his family use their farm, Oleo Acres, to introduce people to this traditional way of life.

On Saturday, Oct. 15 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Ammons will host his second annual Oleo Acres Sorghum Festival at 269 McDonald Rd. in Stanton.

Located just off Hwy 179 and Bud Eubanks Road, the Oleo Acres Sorghum Fest is free and fun for the entire family.

Sorghum is sometimes mistakenly called molasses but is actually from a different genus of plant.

Unlike molasses, which is a sugar cane by-product with no nutritional value, sorghum is loaded with lots of minerals and vitamins.

Sorghum syrup and hot biscuits are a traditional breakfast in the South-

ATOKA

Continued from A1 ern United States and it is also used on pancakes, cornmeal mush, grits and other hot cereals. It can be used as a cooking ingredient whenever molasses is used.

“It’s really a great way for parents to let their kids have something sweet while giving them vitamins,” said Ammons.

“Before we had multivitamins, doctors would prescribe sorghum because it’s so high in iron and vitamins.”

During the festival, there will be lots to see and do. Traditional arts and crafts will be on display, there will be square dancing and demonstra-

tions of traditional broom making using the seeds of the black amber sorghum cane and pottery crafting will be shown. A master syrup maker will demonstrate his craft and festival-goers will be able to witness sorghum production from cane to bottle. There will also be a karate exhibit, Girl Scout bake sale and for a small charge, guests will be able to experience the Spooky Trails. And of course, there will be plenty of sorghum syrup to purchase. Ammons sells his sorghum in two varieties, thin or thick and in pint or quart-sized jars.

Continued from A1 daughter lost her boyfriend of two years in an auto accident.

“Aaron and my oldest daughter were less than two years apart in age and grew up very close together,” said Bill. “My youngest daughter is just 19, so Aaron was her big, big brother and then she lost her boyfriend. It has not been easy for us at all. We’ve had three close deaths since the beginning of August and it’s has been a tough couple of months.”

But even though they have been dealt with more pain than can be imagined, the family has stood strong in their convictions.

“Honestly, and I don’t want to say this lightly, but we totally trust the Lord and believe what his words say,” said Bill. “I can’t lie, it has been very painful but we haven’t doubted the Lord’s grace and he has blessed us abundantly. But the pain has been enormous. We miss him so much,” he added, his voice cracking. “I never imagined the pain would be so much. We are to bury our parents, not our children.

I am thankful we have our faith and so thankful Aaron was a believer. We don’t wonder if we will see him again. We know we will.”

Besides Aaron’s beautiful children, his legacy, the family says, will be his absolute trust and

First Baptist Church’s senior pastor, Chuck Williams has been a friend of the family for years and baptized Vaughn at sixyears-old when the family lived in Troy, Tenn.

“Aaron was the most unbelievable, all-American kid,” said Williams.

“He was a great friend, a wonderful son and he loved the Lord with all his heart. He was smart, had a great personality and he truly cared about people.”

Williams invited Vaughn’s parents, Karen and Bill, to speak to his congregation on how their faith has helped their family deal with their loss.

“Chuck has been involved from the start and was one of the first people who called when he heard the news about Aaron,” said Bill. “He asked if we’d come share with his congregation on how the Lord has helped our family during our time of loss and the hope that we have because Aaron was a believer in the Lord and we know we will see him again some day.”

The past few months have been especially hard on the entire family and especially his daughters, said Bill. On the day they buried their son in Arlington National Cemetery, the family received news of the death of a first cousin and a month later, their youngest

faith in God and his service to his country doing what he knew was right.

“Aaron was a strong believer in Christ in a dark world,” added his father. “He was clear about what he was doing and how evil radical Islam is to the Western and Christian world. Aaron and his buddies were fighting for our Christian culture. I want people to be aware that we are in a long war with people who want to destroy us.

Aaron understood that and had faith in his calling.”

“He was a good Christian man and absolutely fearless,” added Pastor Williams. “Yes, he was a warrior but he was also a gentle man. When Aaron became a Navy SEAL, I said ‘this is a good thing for the U.S.’” Morning worship services at First Baptist Church, 211 S. Main St. in Covington will begin at 10:55 a.m. Visitors are invited to attend worship services and to hear the Vaughn family testify on their faith.

Bailouts or fees, leave Bank of America alone

Bank of America recently announced that it will charge a $5 per month fee for those with ATM/Debit Cards associated with their accounts. Since that announcement there has been a firestorm of criticism and calls for the government to prevent banks from making such charges.

Now, I am no fan of Bank of America as they were one of the institutions bailed out from the taxpayer-funded TARP program in 2008 and 2009. Just as I believed the government should not have intervened then, I believe now that the government should stay out of the banking business.

Don’t get me wrong. I do see a role for government in ensuring the banking system is ethical, JIM HARDIN legal and not ruining the good faith and credit of the United States. Needless to say, the government at times has failed in that role under both Republican and Democrat governments. Still, our banking system should be predominantly left part of the free market upon which the American economy was established.

Just like Mom & Pop shops, automakers, manufacturers of “widgets”, and all others vying for a place in American commerce, the market, with its competition in goods, services, customer affection, risks and rewards, is where most decisions should be made, not in Washington, D.C. If a business makes good choices, it may profit and thrive. If bad choices, it may find that it need not try to stay in business much longer.

Bank of America obviously cannot offer ATM/ Debit services for free. No bank really does, so they may cover the cost in others ways that may not be so transparent. They may charge the merchant higher fees for debit use in their stores, but the merchants just pass that cost on to the customers in the price of the goods purchased. Other banks may make up the difference in return check and other fees, but that is a risky way as we hope consumers will get wiser in time over decisions that lead to such fees. Perhaps banks can make up the costs of ATM/Debit systems through interest rates charged for loans or lower rates than would be otherwise paid for savings.

Bank of America’s only real crime here is awful public relations. They have already been in the news negatively over the past few years, and they really should have thought this one through. The bank does have the contract with the federal government with its VISA Cards for those assigned to use them for travel and other purchases. Perhaps they felt that contract would mitigate the losses they will most certainly suffer under such an ill-timed and poorly communicated policy.

Unless the government once again intervenes, Bank of America will see in time what financial impact this decision will have on their business.

Their computer system has already seized up from so many of their customers going on-line to voice their anger, make withdraws or close accounts. It may be unfair as ATM/Debit systems do cost money to operate and the bank is just trying to cover those costs, but again they have done a poor job marketing this strategy.

If enough customers bail out of Bank of America over this fee, then the market will exact its consequences through income loss, lower profits and perhaps complete failure of the bank. They will learn to survive and recover, they will fail, or perhaps Bank of America will just wait for another taxpayer bailout for another bad business decision. It’s insane, but it’s what America seems to have become – the Nanny that won’t let us succeed or fail.

Remember how you’d grab with one hand, swap back and forth trying to lick the gooey cream before it ran down your arm and blow on the morsel trying to cool it before it burned your tender tongue. I’ve always loved crumbled cornbread in my big glass of buttermilk. Especially with the small bits of yellow butter floating to the top. We referred to this delicacy as a...... country milkshake. If you got real fancy, chop up some good, sweet onions and stir them around very slowly, as you don’t dare bruise and hurt them. Now this was a.... country malt!! Looking back this was so good it would make you want to slap yo’ second cousin’s Uncle on your Daddy’s side of kin.

If there had been a sale on rag baloney, maybe Daddy had bought a whole stick butchered at Fineberg’s packing just like Mr. Ben had in his meat counter at the Rosemark General Store. Most of the time the fancy big round baloney was too expensive, but I loved rag baloney anyway. Hey, ‘pore’ country folks can’t be choosy.

The Sixth Sense Normally, we are blessed with 5 senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and feel. I submit there is a sixth sense. I call it the guttural sense. The guttural is a feeling deep inside you that will guide you when considering a course of action. There is a subtle, yet firm alarm if that course of action is not a good choice. By the same token that guttural sense awards you when you make good choices.

That “award” is the “gut” feeling you have behaved properly.

This guttural sense is more

prevalent in individuals who have enjoyed the benefit of a good home life. It was born in an atmosphere of a family that practices values and is nurtured by self-esteem. However, it is not absent within individuals who have suffered compromised environments. These individuals are more challenged by peer-pressure and must rely on the “gut feeling” more intimately while making choices.

Jerry Clower, comedian/philosopher, once shared a story regarding this. He asked his mother about a shirt he took from

the closet – “is this shirt clean?”

His mother replied, “Jerry, if you have to ask – the shirt is not clean.

Put it in the dirty clothes and I will wash it”. When faced with choices, if you have to ask someone if this is right – don’t do it. If there are doubts about the choice – it is probably not right.

If you had to surrender one of your senses, which one would it be – sight, hearing, smell, taste, or feel? Or would it be the guttural sense – the sixth sense?

This may mean contributing more to your IRA, 401(k) and other retirement accounts. Or, perhaps your investment mix may need to be reviewed to find a better balance growth potential with risk. Or you may need to take both of these steps.

▪ Monitor your progress. Once you’ve put your investment strategy into place, you’ll need to monitor your progress to make sure you’re on track toward achieving your retirement savings goals.

Along the way, you may have to make adjustments, if there are changes in your objectives or your specific situation.

Taking these types of action can be challenging, so you may want to work with a professional financial advisor who has the experiences and resources necessary to help you identify and work toward achieving your retirement goals.

In any case, though, National Save for Retirement Week is a great time to consider your course of action.

BUSINESS

Lord of the Beans: Not the average coffee, juice bar

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com Farmer, John Neal Born: 12/11/1977 8911 Holly Grove Rd. Brighton, TN 38011 Charge: Failure to pay child support

It may sound like something straight out of Hollywood or a summer reading list, but Atoka’s new coffee shop/juice bar is anything but fantasy.

But it is a dream come true for owners Todd and Jeanie Nelson.

“We started looking into this (business) two years ago when Perks closed,” said Jeanie. “It’s taken a lot of work and a lot of planning.”

Lord of the Beans – named because of the owners’ love for the epic tale Lord of the Rings – has been serving up java and juice since late last month and have been met with great reception.

Offering organic and whole foods shakes, smoothies and coffee drinks, the shop caters to connoisseurs concerned about their health, wellness and what they consume.

“I like knowing I’m not just going to give you a cup full of sugar,” Jeannie said. “In every small smoothie, there are three cups of fruit; in every large, there are five. Even if you’re not trying to go organic, they’re whole foods and nutrient-dense calories, not empty calories.”

Patrons also have the

option to add protein, fiber, daily vitamins and more.

Located next to the area’s fastest-growing fitness center, the couple encourages people to visit the shop after their workout.

“After they work out they do need to get something into their body, they need to replace the calories they’ve burned plus about 10 percent more within 30 minutes.”

Coming in to get a recovery shake, Jeanie said, gives the right portion of carbs, protein and fat.

And best of all, it won’t go right to your hips.

“We really want to be a benefit to the people over at the gym.”

Before they opened, Todd and Jeanie thought coffee drinks would be the majority of their

This week on

Continued from A4 I’ve often wondered how many youngsters have to come home and do their chores as we did back then?? How many get muddy, greasy, cold or sweaty?? What seemed like a torture chamber was the way we were brought up. Now I’m not saying what was right or wrong!! All I know is that is the way all the kids in the community were taught. It was just a way of life. If you didn’t have chores, you were called a ‘sissy’.

Beloved, just another day or saga in the life of a Redneck in our Illustrious South!!

“We get more draw from the gym, so we sell more smoothies and shakes. It’s been really phenomenal.”

Lord of the Beans offers a family-friendly atmosphere, complete with shakes for children and tables covered with butcher paper for drawing (adults are more than welcome to draw, too, of course).

The shop is also hosting an on-going art contest open to children, teens, adults and families. While visiting, draws something and be entered to win the monthly prize that includes a gift card and the display of the winning artwork.

Greetings – At this time I have a heavy heart.

Cornell Clayton Sherrill was with us for 62 wonderful years. His nickname was “Wit,” given to him by his late mother, Florence “Doll” Smith Sherrill, simply because he was just that: witty! He always kept you laughing with one of his jokes or his teasings, especially him teasing his family and close friends, of which are many.

We were there beside him all of the way, especially his beloved sisters, Florence, LaRue and Gloria, and his dear brother, Pink Nathaniel Sherrill Jr. To his only daughter “Sweetie,” who now lives in Covington, you are in our hearts, you and your family.

Brighton Debe Simonton

Hello my friends, My goodness, I thought the days were going to get somewhat cooler. I am grateful for the 80 degree days though my pansies don’t like this warm weather; they prefer the 70s and under. So if you have planted your pansies already just water and wait, they’ll bounce back.

The Brighton football team won again against Carver. The homecoming was so nice and the homecoming court was beautiful. We have some gorgeous girls at Brighton High. We play again at home this week, we play Hardin Co. The band was off from competition this week. And as I am sure most of you know, Tipton Co. schools are on fall break.

The Brighton Baptist Church will host a Jubilee on October 22. I will have more information

next week. This will be on a Saturday so plan on attending. How fun!

There are a few birthdays this week, Heather Comer, Barbara Winberry, and Mitch Reynolds. Happy Birthday to all of you.

I was listening to some food tips for health and it has found that Grape Seed Oil is very good alternative to the cooking oils we usually use.

And it doesn’t have the taste like Olive Oil can have. Also, it has a higher smoke rate to it. So it is better for high heat.

Hope all of you have a great week! Love, Debe

150 YEARS AGO: AUTUMN 1861

The Civil War in Tipton County

By Russell Bailey Tipton County Historian

By September 30, 1861, Fort Pillow was garrisoned by only 945 infantry. A soldier of Colonel James C. Tappan’s 13th Arkansas Infantry recalled his first military camp on the Mississippi: “The camp was at Fort Pillow, about 60 miles above Memphis on the east bank of the Mississippi River. I went up on a steamboat and had a chill on the boat… that landing (Pillow) comes up distinctly. The bluffs were high, 60 feet or more, and their top, level. Nothing but sandy soil, not a sign of rock to be seen. Their sides all bare, steep and worn into ravines by the rain, unrelieved by trees or even brush. A ‘water battery’ law low, carved out of its front.

A few soldiers stood there.”

A soldier of the 9th Tennessee Infantry wrote that the Confederate occupation of Columbus, Ky. in September-October was “a continual work ship.” Soldiers worked on the breastworks and batteries, mounted cannon, policed the town and camps and drilled.

During this time there were one or two minor naval engagements and frequent skirmishes between scouting parties.

Lieutenant James I. Hall of Mt. Carmel wrote to his family about his Company C of the 9th Infantry: “The 4th Tennessee Infantry has moved two miles up the river…We have between 25 – 30 thousand troops here. Genl. (Albert S.) Johnston is said to have arrived here last night…

We have been very anxious for his coming; have not had confidence in our leaders.… “(I) am clearing off a new camping ground about a

mile from town on the bluff expect to move in a day or two am now camped in a low wet place. It rained the other night, camp deluged with water shoe mouth deep in the tents. I coiled up in a goods box and slept soundly… we are now hard at work on the batteries o fortifying the place strongly… the enemy have a body of troops stationed about 10 miles above us on the river. Our cavalry are sent up there every day to watch their movements.

The health of our company is good some little complaint but no one sick; we have a noble set of boys can do more work than any two companies in the Regiment.

We work 4 hours day on the battery; we still keep up our prayer meeting.”

On October 1st, the 9th Infantry was placed in General Benjamin Cheatham’s Division.

By Oct. 3d, the Tipton volunteers of the 9th Infantry were in their new campground on the hill a mile from the Mississippi. Lieut. James Hall thought that it was a good place with better drainage that would help prevent sickness among the men. He wrote on that day that General William Hardee’s troops were arriving at Columbus.

On the 4th, Private J. C.

Edenton of the 13th Tenn.

Infantry wrote: “At night I was lulled into sweet repose by the playing of the band. The last thing that lingered around my mind, while closing my eyes, was the glorious words ‘Dixie’."

On the 7th he saw General Albert S. Johnston for the first time.

The 4th Tennessee Infantry including the “Tipton Rifles” were now commanded by “Brevet” Brigadier General Rufus Neely, their former colonel. Neely’s Brigade was placed in General John P. McCown’s Division.

During early October, John Gracey Hall and Bartlett M. Browder began recruiting volunteers in Tipton County to form a Confederate infantry company. James A. Moore of the Portersville-Atoka community recalled the company being organized at Clopton Campground in October.

Browder was elected captain and Hall first lieutenant. Browder was a wealthy planter and veteran the Mexican War. The company established camp at Clopton. The volunteers named their company the “Sons of Liberty,” which was later designated Company G, 51st Tennessee Infantry.

Courtesy photo.

BY JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Kreston Smith is in his second year as music teacher and choir director and Munford Elementary School.

He’s made it his personal mission to improve the facilities, instruments and materials that are available to his students.

Now, members of the community have a chance to help with Smith’s mission.

Members of Munford Elementary’s choir, with the help of Smith, recently filmed a skit and submitted it to the Give A Note contest, which is sponsored by the popular television show “Glee.”

The show’s producers have committed to donating $1 million dollars to the musical departments of public elementary schools across the nation. Schools can receive as much $50,000.

“The idea was to create a video about how money is needed for instruments and things like that,” Smith said. “The kids are really excited about it. It thought

(the video) came out really funny.”

Residents are encouraged to log on to www.gleegiveanote.com, view Munford Elementary’s video and vote for it. The amount of money awarded will hinge on how many votes are received.

Smith has big plans to improve the music department at MES and the Cougar Cub Choir, which includes 87 children.

Currently, the department’s resources are limited to a piano and a few drums and triangles.

“I think I’ve got $27 in our account right now,” Smith said. “That’s not really enough to buy anything … We’re looking to buy xylophones, iPads, sound proofing… We don’t really have anything that’s modern.”

Smith said software is available that be used on iPads to enrich and improve the learning process.

“The ultimate goal is to start a piano lab so they can independently learn.”

The MES choir will performing Oct. 22 at the MES Fall Festival and Oct. 24 for Red Ribbon Week.

Crestview Middle School would like to invite all Tipton County military veterans to its Veterans Day Program on Friday, Nov. 11 at noon. There will be a reception in the library after the program. Interested veterans are asked to send their name and branch of service to lgough@tipton-county.com to be included in the program’s slide show presentation.

Burlison teen sings for Disneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s American Idol

BY SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com With stars in her eyes, Hannah Gilbreath, a Burlison home-schooled senior recently was selected to participate in a mock â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Idolâ&#x20AC;? contest at Disney World in Orlando, Fla. And although the contest may have been fake, that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the case with Hannahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talent who has been singing since she was 2-years-old.

Hannah, her four siblings and their parents, Lana and Clay Gilbreath, along with their grandparents, Billy and Annette Gilbreath and her uncle and aunt, Greg and Shawna Gilbreath and their four children spent their vacation in Florida where Hannah competed in the American Idol Experience at Disneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hollywood Studios.

Set-up like the real â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Idolâ&#x20AC;?, contestants had to sign on stage in front of a producer for the preliminary round. After successfully completing the preliminary and advancing to the next round, Hannah sang â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bubblyâ&#x20AC;? by Colbie Caillat before judges and was voted to advance to the final competition.

The final competition was held at 7 p.m. in front of a live studio audience of more than 700 people. Fac-

ing four other first-round winners, Hannah sang her heart out. After listening to the judgesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; critiques, Hannah waited patiently with the other contestants while the judges debated on the their performances.

With her family anxiously waiting, the results were announced and Hannahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name was revealed as the contestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was very fun and exciting,â&#x20AC;? gushed Hannah. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was definitely a â&#x20AC;&#x153;bigger dealâ&#x20AC;? than I thought it would be. It was the biggest audience I have ever sang in front of and the biggest stage Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever sang on. When I found out Carrie Underwood and David Cook had sung on the same stage it really hit me. The best feeling from the whole experience was when I heard people from the crowd chanting my name before the results were read. It made me realize â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wow! There are people besides my family who actually voted for me!â&#x20AC;?

For winning the American Idol Experience at Disney World, Hannah received a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dream Ticketâ&#x20AC;? which

JA reaches kids through writing

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com Spearheaded by teachers, the Junior Auxiliary recently began the second year of its INK program.

INK is a penpal program, where teachers correspond with students from different schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We write back and forth, once a month,â&#x20AC;? said program chairman Michelle Hudson.

This year, Junior Auxiliary members are writing to fourth graders in Brighton Elementary and Covington Integrated Arts Academy.

Hudson said the students benefit from the program because they learn how to write letters. The benefit for JA members in mentorship.

At the end of the school year, the penpals meet.

Last year they held an ice cream social. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get eager to meet them,â&#x20AC;? said Hudson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We talk to them all year through letters and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to meet them face-toface.â&#x20AC;?

I am now well and full of spunk. We are not sure of my breed, but my face reminds my foster Mom of a brindle boxer/lab mix, although I am a smaller version of each.

I will probably be medium size when I grow up. I LOVE to play! I am a little rough because all my foster siblings are big dogs. My big brother Hooch lets me put my head in his mouth. I have never met a cat, but I would love to try to play with Bidda one. I would chase it to let it know I want to be buddies and play. I like my crate, Mom puts my food in it 2 times a day, but I also go in there when I am tired or want solitude. I go outside to potty with all the big dogs. Although things are good here, I dream of having my own humans to love. Please come see me or arrange a meeting today!! I want a human of my own so very much!!

Tipton County Election Commission informs voters of new law

By NEIL BELL Special to The Leader The Tennessee General Assembly recently passed a law to make the elections process more secure. Beginning in 2012, voters must present identification bearing their name and photograph in order to vote, just as if they were boarding an airplane or cashing a check.

The process is simple: voters who do not have valid photo IDs may obtain free photo IDs for voting from any participating Department of Safety driver service center across the state. Voters over the age of 60 who have driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licenses without photos and no other form of valid photo IDs for voting may have their photos added to their licenses free of charge.

County election commissions are making efforts now to get the message out about the changes well in advance of the 2012 elections. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our staff is prepared to help voters learn about the new requirements and if necessary, how to get a pho-

to ID,â&#x20AC;? said Neil Bell, Tipton County administrator of elections. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will do our best to ensure every voter is informed in plenty of time.â&#x20AC;?

Examples of acceptable photo IDs, even if expired, include: a Tennessee driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license with a photo, a United States passport, a Department of Safety photo ID, a United States military photo ID, a state-issued handgun carry permit, or any other photo ID issued by the federal or state government, except college student IDs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Local election administrators are working hard to prepare voters and poll workers,â&#x20AC;? said Secretary of State Tre Hargett. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am confident this law will be beneficial and can be implemented smoothly.â&#x20AC;?

Some citizens will be exempt from the new law, including: absentee voters, residents of nursing homes or assisted living centers who vote at the facility, people who are hospitalized, people who have religious objections to being photographed and those who are indigent and unable to pay for photo IDs. Voters who do not bring photo IDs to the polls may vote with pro-

Flu vaccine coming soon to the Tipton County Health Department Influenza, or flu, season is right around the corner, and the Tipton County Health Department is ready to offer flu vaccine to area residents.

A mass flu vaccine clinic will be held at the Tipton County Health Department on Oct. 20 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. This clinic is designed to allow people to be able to get in and out quickly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes about two weeks to be protected after you get the flu vaccine, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to get the vaccine as soon as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s available,â&#x20AC;? said Shavetta

Conner, M.D. Regional Health Officer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, we will continue to vaccinate residents through the winter, or as long as we have vaccine available. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that everyone six months of age and older get their yearly flu vaccine as soon as vaccines become available to the community.â&#x20AC;?

Flu shots and/or FluMist nasal spray vaccine will be provided during the vaccination clinic.

There will be a charge of $32 for flu shots and

$13.70 for FluMist. The cost for vaccines will be charged on a sliding fee scale. Payment can be made in the form of cash or check and Medicare and TennCare can be billed. Private insurance will not be billed.

Appointments must be scheduled for the mass flu clinic. Please call the health department at (901) 476-0235 to book your appointment.

www.covingtonleader.com Hi Everyone, hope this weather continues for at least a couple more weeks as we Libby Click soon plan to take off for Branson, Miss. The foliage should be beautiful. We have a 50’s Rock and Roll show reserved and we will see more after we get there.

I now have a wonderful book to read as we travel.

Mr. George Parker, our friend at McDonalds, bought a book of 400 pages called “Through Indian Eyes.” I cannot wait to read it, as our family descendants have been officially recognized as Cherokee.

Last week Charlie and I stopped in at his cousin’s home, Carolyn Rammage. We stopped to wish Charlie’s other cousin, Wayne Click, a happy birthday and played a round of pool. We played partners, the ladies against the men. Poor Carolyn, I wasn’t able to pull up our side for her. She’s very good. It has been many years since I’ve stood besides a pool table. But it was a fun afternoon. Of course the men won.

A mother’s love never dies. My mother would have been 92 this past Monday, however, she passed away at the age of 78 from diabetic complications. But those precious memories last forever. Praise the Lord. Well, I know a lot of happy teachers and students who get to sleep in this week. But my grandchildren had to get up and go to football practice anyway.

The hairpieces provided allow the children to face the outside world and their peers with a renewed sense of self-esteem and confidence.

Talley chose to donate for reasons close to her heart.

“I was diagnosed with cancer eight years ago and lost all of my hair; I received a human hair wig. I wanted to show my appreciation by giving back to someone who has lost their hair because of a medical condition.”

Her hair was cut by her niece, Talisa Taylor.

Mackenzie’s hair was cut by Ashley Gunnels of Darrbe Lane Salon in Atoka.

Sharon Presbyterian Church Worship is 9 a.m. each Sunday morning. Rev. Charles Todd is the minister. We welcome all members, friends and visitors to the fellowship of Sharon.

We are always grateful for our Dunlap people who can make it. We have several on our prayer list. Please remember Mrs. Louise Gumpton from Dunlap as she has been in the hospital and now in physical therapy.

Covington Church of Christ Worship is at 10:30 each Sunday morning and again at 5:30 p.m. Sunday evening. Bible Study at 9:30 a.m.

Sunday morning and again at 7 p.m. Wednesday evening. Brother Mike Rogers is our minister and Brother Jeff Phillips our associate minister. We have been studying love and selfishness. I’m sure everyone was examining himself or herself. Excellent lesson. There will be a Widows and Widowers Luncheon on Thursday, Oct. 13 at the home of Billy and Ann Chapman at 11:30 a.m. We have several on our pray list at this time. Please continue to remember Grant Edmonds as he has improved a great deal. Also Todd Townsend in his recent surgery and so many others. Our youth is having a clothes give-a-way on Sat., Nov. 12. Please wash and bring as much clothing as you can. We also need clothes racks if anyone has access to them. You may bring them to our church building. Happy birthdays this week go to Aaron Speight, Grant Edmonds, Zach Kidd, Carolyn Whaley and Ron Chaney. Hope they are great!

In closing, hope your getting ready for the next big and scary holiday. With things like they are today, I’m sure most young people will be having church parties, or neighborhood parties. It’s a crying shame our children cannot know the freedom that most of us had

to go trick or treating back in the “old” days. I have already purchased my candy, but don’t really know how many we will have.

Our neighborhood watch meeting last week was outstanding. We had officers Brandon Matlock, Donna Turner, David Bitzer and Ben Forbess. It was the best meeting we have ever had. Thanks to all of you for your concern and dedication for the safety of our entire county. All of our law-enforcement personnel are in our prayers daily.

Scandals are a small townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best friend

By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com Normally, you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that mayhem, murder and scandals would be partners in a comedy but then, it is almost Halloween and anything is possible.

This weekend, the Ruffin Theater will present â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scandal at Hampton Estates,â&#x20AC;? a farce murder mystery that will have you laughing, confused and thoroughly enjoying yourself all at the same time.

Written by Donna Van Oss and Kayla Livous, the play is directed by James Cacy and produced by Jenni Cacy.

Try to follow along as socialite Ivana Hampton throws the 75th annual and grandest costume ball and social event of the year to celebrate her new appointment as the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s social calendar chairperson and to impress her snobby friends. Ivana has invited the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most respected and upper crust citizens, as well as media coverage and everything is going fine until her redneck family shows up and steals the show.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ivanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother talking to her imaginary friend, her elderly uncle who thinks heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hugh Hefner and arrives with his 24-year-old bimbo fiancĂŠe and the strange hobo who crashes the partyâ&#x20AC;Ś and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the beginning. The scandals revealed are sure to make small town history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are going to love this play,â&#x20AC;? said director James Cacy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter what genre you like â&#x20AC;&#x201C; murder mystery or comedy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this play has something for everyone and I guarantee they are going to laugh all the way to Halloween!â&#x20AC;?

Ivana discovers her cook failed to prepare any food, the electricity goes out, a security guard is murdered and the famous Hampton heirloom is stolen and a ransom note demanding $10 million dollars is left in its place. When the police show up and announce that no one can leave the estate, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when the fun really starts! The unhappy and hungry guests find themselves trapped at what

Garden Center & Nature Gift Shop Cast members Shelley Van De Voort, Shelly Gough, Leah Billings and Toni Cross discuss the scandals at the costume party.

could be the worst party in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history.

To get into the true costume ball spirit, theater guests are encouraged to watch the play in their favorite costume and, in fact, the Ruffin Theater will give a $1 discount to any patron who comes to the play dressed in a costume. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids will love the costumes and we are encouraging people to come in costumes to enjoy the ball with us,â&#x20AC;? added Cacy.

The play starts on Thursday, Oct. 13 and continues through Sunday, Oct. 16.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children with $1 off the admission price if a costume is worn. There are three evening performances beginning at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and two matinee shows at 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

The Ruffin Theater will host special guests for Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evening performance.

Both playwrights, Van Oss and Livous, along with their families, will be at the Ruffin to watch their play come alive as only the Ruffin Theater Troup can make it. So come watch a great play, support local community theater and meet the playwrightsâ&#x20AC;Ś itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great way to begin the Halloween season!

HHS offers Chargers little resistance Robinson scores five TDs for CHS

By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com Patton’s tanks rolled across Europe.

Coach Marty Wheeler’s ground assault demolished the Haywood Tomcats Friday with 420 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns in a convincing 53-7 District 13-AA win County teams have on Senior Night in Covington. huge games Friday Colliar RobinB2 son racked up 188 yards on just 11 carries and tallied five touchdowns on runs of 1, 9, 20, 57 and 43 yards.

On defense, Trae Wilson and Terence Pierson each recovered a fumble, Artavian Brown snatched an interception and Shelton Lyons, Terrell Tate and

Inside

Wilson all recorded sacks in a dominating performance to improve the Charger season record to 6-1 overall and 4-0 in district play.

“We came out firing on all cylinders and took care of business,” said Wheeler. “Thirty three first quarter points is our best production in a long while. We made a statement.”

Haywood fumbled the opening snap of the game. CHS recovered at the Tomcat 1 and Robinson notched his first TD just 24 seconds into the game. The die was cast and the rout was on.

The Chargers finished with 469 net yards on offense to 205 for Haywood.

Two lost fumbles deep in Tomcat territory cost CHS additional scoring opportunities. Covington did not punt in the contest.

TRA takes down Middleton

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com With the clock winding down under three minutes and Tipton-Rosemark clinging to a 27-20 lead Friday night against Middleton, Rebel coach Dodd Gengenbach made a decision.

He decided to put Keith Hamlin on Middleton wideout Rodrico Brittman, who had given the Rebel defense trouble all night.

Hamlin promptly intercepted a pass intended for Brittman and returned it 15 yards for a score.

The touchdown ended up being a much-needed cushion as the Rebels held off Middleton 33-28 for the team's first win of the season.

“I told the kids they're going to give me a heart attack,” Gengenbach said.

“We switched Hamlin on that guy and he made a great break on the ball … It shouldn't have been as close as it was, but they made some big plays.”

Following Hamlin's pick-six, Jaime

Smith found Brittman, who finished with 110 yards receiving, for a 63-yard touchdown pass that cut the lead to five with 43 seconds remaining.

Middleton (2-6) tried an onside kick following the score, but TRA (1-6) recovered and ran out the clock to secure the team's second straight homecoming win.

Logan Stewart scored on a 1-yard run with 2:35 left in the third quarter to give TRA a 20-14 lead. Middleton answered with an 8-yard run from Dre Coby to tie the score at 20.

Stewart, who completed 8 of 12 passes for 71 yards and also rushed for 65, intercepted a pass and returned it 68 yards in the third quarter to trim Middleton's lead to 14-12. He connected with Hamlin on a 23-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter for the Rebels' first touchdown.

Stewart's third touchdown, a 1-yard run with 3:20 left in the game, gave TRA a 27-20 lead.

Cards overpower Carver early

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Brighton kept rolling Friday night at home.

Behind three firstquarter touchdown passes from Brady Stewart, Brighton scored early and often on the way to a 49-8 homecoming win over winless Carver.

The Cardinals (6-1), winners of six straight, led 42-0 at the half.

Stewart hit Rujonn Glass on touchdown strikes of 55 and 11 yards for Brighton's first two touchdowns and found Chance Sampson for a 58-yard touchdown early in the second quarter to push the lead to 28-0.

Stewart completed 8 of 11 passes for 190 yards

before giving way to backup Bentley Jones in the second half.

Brighton didn't run the ball much, but got short touchdown runs from Greg Starks, Treyshun Gardner and Jones.

Ricky Foster returned a punt 70 yards for a touchdown midway through the second quarter.

A 1-yard touchdown run by Percy Wilkerson in the fourth quarter accounted for Carver's only score of the game.

Glass led Brighton's receivers with three catches for 68 yards and Zach Rogowski hauled in a pair of passes for 69 yards.

The Cardinals host Hardin County Friday night in 13-AAA action.

County teams play pivotal games Friday

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com

There are some huge games tomorrow night for Tipton County’s high school football teams.

Covington (6-1), ranked No. 5 in the latest 4A state poll, travels to Troy to take on thirdranked Obion County Central in a matchup of teams with undefeated records in District 13AA. The winner will take over sole possession of first place in the district’s West division.

Brighton hosts Hardin

County in a District 13AAA game. The Cardinals (6-1) will be looking for a seventh straight win and to remain perfect in league play.

While Covington and Brighton both appear certain to make the playoffs, the same cannot be said of Munford, which will host Jackson North Side Friday in District 13AAA action.

Coming off a bye week, the Cougars (2-4 overall, 1-2 district) are in a mustwin situation if they have plans of qualifying for the playoffs for the first

time since 2007.

Munford sits third in the District 13-AAA standings, a half game ahead of North Side (25, 0-2). A win against the Indians would likely secure third for Munford in the five-team district.

Wins in the team’s two final games over nondistrict foes Frayser and Westwood would put the Cougars in good position to grab a wild card berth in the Class 5A playoffs.

“The No. 3 team in the region has gotten into the playoffs every year since they changed the playoff

format,” said Munford coach Matt Saunders.

“We would be the No. 2 5A team in the district.”

But before that scenario has a chance to play out, Munford must get past North Side, a team that beat Munford 42-7 last year.

However, the Indians were hit hard by graduation and have been up and down in 2011.

“They’re very athletic,” Saunders said. “They’ve put together some good drives, but they’ve had just as many bad drives.

When they don’t make

Duck season approaching

By ARNOLD BULL Tipton County has done a very good with squirrel season to date.

Opening weekend was a walk in the park with many hunters bringing the limit back to camp.

Dove season has been almost as good. Maybe Deer/Archery season will fall right in line with the good harvest so far in this hunting season.

It has been open only a short time and I am hearing good reports on the number of deer and also the size of some of the bucks.

Next up is the 2011-12 Tennessee Duck Season starting the first segment Nov. 26-27 and the second segment will run Dec. 3 through Jan. 29.

The daily bag limit is six and may include no more than four mallards (no more than two of which may be a female), one black duck, three wood ducks, two pintails, one canvasback, two scaup and two redheads. Coots and gallinules will be 15 and Mergansers five (only two of which may be hooded mergansers) and Virginia and sora rails will be 25.

Youth Waterfowl Hunting Season (for youths 6-15 years of age and must be accompanied by an adult that is in a position to take control of the hunting device) is coming up. Daily bag limit will be the same as statewide bag limits.

The adult accompanying the young hunter may not hunt ducks but may participate in other open seasons. Season dates are Feb. 4-5.

Arkansas last year increased its harvest of mallards 14 percent from

605,672 to 691,693 from the previous year and had a total duck harvest of 1,410,800. Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s duck harvest stayed about the same at 113,597 for the year to the previous total of 113,291, with a grand total of ducks harvested of 332,300. Tennessee slid a bit on duck harvest from 128,946 to 112,500 with a grand total of 284,700. Missouriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s duck harvests went from 221,325 to last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high of 262,778 with its total duck harvest of 520,200.

The number of duck hunters in Arkansas went from 55,000 in 2009 to 52,700 in 2010. Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hunters in 2009 were 13,600 and15,500 in 2010.

Tennessee hunters were 20,600 in 2009 to 15,900 in 2010. Missouri hunters in 2009 were 35,200 to 30,200 in 2010.

Maybe there are hunters out there who remember the years in the early eighties when everything was frozen over above us and we were inundated with Canadian Geese.

Shortly afterwards, the Mississippi Flyway Goose Season was closed for five years below Reelfoot all the way past Louisiana. The idea was to increase the number of geese going south and five years would let them create a new pattern. To make all these numbers work, Illinois was supposed to quit feeding the geese, so as to encourage them to head south.

I was always doubtful of our success. However, according to the figures that I have at hand, Arkansas, alone, harvested more geese than Illinois last year. Maybe, just maybe, I was wrong.

The Mississippi Flyway harvested more than

three ducks/geese to every one ducks/geese harvested on the Atlantic Flyway. Does that mean we are better shots than those eastern boys or just that we have more ducks and geese than they do, or, maybe both?

Many years back, my wife and I were invited to dinner at her friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; house in Memphis. I went. We were not in their house three minutes before the friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; husband made the comment, â&#x20AC;&#x153;anybody that will go out in freezing weather and sit in a boat all day to kill a duck is not very smart.â&#x20AC;?

(Actually, I cleaned up what he really said.) I was a dyed in the wool duck hunter and ignored his comments. Next year, this dinner came again.

I was dreading going.

When we arrived at their house and they opened the door it looked like a souvenir shop for Ducks Unlimited.

Somebody had taken this fellow duck hunting and he went over board in love with the sport. I laughed so hard I cried and he did not care.

Thus is the power of our little feathered friends and that is the reason that I posted the stats up top. A lot of folks from this area go duck hunting here and in Arkansas.

I call them the Arkansas Bridge Club because they have to cross a bridge to get to Arkansas and the Arkansas ducks.

Burger King is one of the most successful fast food chains in America. The key to their success is in customizing their menu to the whims of its customers. Their slogan is “Have it your way… special orders don’t upset us”. Fancy upscale restaurants have something comparable, “a la carte” where you order from the menu exactly what you want to accompany the main dish. Other industries such as the auto industry have followed suit offering all kinds of options to customize the vehicle to one’s individual wants and preferences.

As a nation, we are a pampered spoiled people who want (or demand) things the way we want them. Sadly, this attitude is also prevalent in our religion.

People insist on “having it their way” in religion as well. Most religions have jumped on the bandwagon to cater to the fancies of its members or potential members. Almost every religion offers “contemporary” as well as “traditional” services. One can almost be assured of finding a church that satisfies their desires whatever they are. If you are looking for a church that has generous and liberal terms of admission or no terms of admission, you are in luck. If you want a church that requires “faith only” to be saved, you can find it. If you believe that faith and repentance is necessary for salvation, rest assured there is a church that takes that view. If you believe that one has to have a “religious experience” to be saved, you can find a church that teaches that, too. In short you can find a church that will accept almost anything you want to believe or do in order to be saved.

It is the same way in regards to worship. If you want acapella music, a piano and /or organ or a full rock band, there is a church out there to accommodate you. If you want to observe the Lord’s supper once a week, once a month, once a quarter, only on holidays even if they are not on a Sunday or never, there is a church out there for you.

If you want to attend services frequently several times a week, only once a week, maybe once a month or only on Christmas, Mother’s Day and Easter, there is a church

out there who will welcome you with open arms.

If you are looking for a church that will pretty well allow you to do whatever you want to do, you will not have to look far or go far.

If you have a particular practice that you enjoy but that “certain narrow-minded” people may consider offensive or downright sinful, there is a church that will not only accept you but encourage you in that practice. This can range from smoking (dipping, chewing) to drug abuse(prescription or otherwise) to social drinking to dancing to premarital sex to extramarital sex to bigamy to polygamy to homosexuality to divorce and remarriage and the list goes on and on.

The popular slogan of the day is, “Attend the church of your choice”. Shouldn’t it be, “Attend the church of Jesus’s choice”? I heard my great aunt pray several years ago in a worship service thanking God for all the choices. Is God pleased with all the choices?

Did Jesus not pray for the unity of His followers? John 17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. Hasn’t the multiplicity of churches created chaos and confusion since they teach different and contradictory things? Not only is God not happy with the religious situation, He had nothing to do with creating it. 1Co 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches (speaking of individual congregations) of the saints. I Cor. 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. 12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. 13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

The focus is on the individual in today’s society but who are we trying to please? Or maybe the more correct question is, who should we be trying to please? The Galatian church had left the simplicity of the true gospel to follow something more pleasing, more palatable to man. Paul utters this warning, Gal. 1: 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

Is the plan of salvation up to me or any man or any church based on what I or he or it may want? Is it not God who made us and not vice versa? Isa. 64: 8 But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.

Is it not God who knows better than we? Isa 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Did not God send His own Son for us to obey? Mt 17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. Did not Christ’s death give Him the authority to tell us how we can be saved, how we must worship and what His expectations of us are?

Joh 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. Matt. 7: 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Which will it be? Will you insist on having it your way or will you have it God’s way?

Angel Cake House opens in Covington New ministry provides clothing for less fortunate at no cost

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com COVINGTON – Canaan Baptist Church has found a way to transform its parsonage and help those less fortunate at the same time.

Now operating as a facility that distributes clothing to the needy, Angel Cake House recently opened in Covington.

"If people need clothes we have some," said missionary department chairman Minnie Bommer. "They can select the items they want and have them at no charge."

Bommer said the ministry is sup-

ported through donations of clothing and shoes made by members of the church as well as the public.

"A place in Memphis donated brand new clothes to one of our members," she added, "and that's how we started this ministry."

The Dickson sisters, said Bommer, helped work to prepare the facility and they chose the name.

"They worked so hard on it that we named it whatever they wanted."

Started by the missionary ladies and led by Mrs. Gloria Jones, the Angel Cake House is open on the third Saturday of each month, from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Three people – two members and a deacon – volunteer to work at the distribution center and help families who visit.

They can select the items they want and have them at no charge.

– Minnie Bommer

Bommer said people in need of clothing need only call the church or stop by the Angel Cake House in order to select clothing.

The ministry has received a good response from those it serves.

"It's really been good, especially when school started," she said.

"It's a good way to give back to the community."

Canaan Baptist Church is located at 211 N. Main Street in Covington. For more information, call 901-475-8782.

LOOK • LISTEN • SMELL The National Transportation Safety Board states that pipelines provide the highest level of public safety as compared to other transportation modes. Every day natural gas pipelines safely carry one of the world’s most reliable, efficient and environmentally friendly fuels to businesses, homes and neighborhoods like yours, Preventing pipeline emergencies is important to Mason gas. We are part of this community and we’re committed to delivering natural gas safely to our neighbors.

As good neighbors do, you can help, here’s how.

Though Natural gas pipeline incidents are rare, you should know these signs.

Look. Blowing dirt, bubbling water, dry spots in moist areas or dead plants surrounded by green plants may indicate a natural gas leak.

Listen. If you hear a hissing sound near a gas appliance or pipe it may be natural gas leaking.

Smell. Be aware of the distinctive, rotten egg-like smell of natural gas.

You should take action anytime you detect even a small amount of this odor.

Don’t break the law- call before you dig Did you know that excavation work, including digging in the yard and plowing, is the most common cause of natural gas pipeline damage. Before beginning excavation of any kind, state law requires that you call Tennessee One Call at 811 so all utility lines can be clearly marked by professionals prior to any digging. This is a free call so don’t break the law.

If you suspect a leak take these actions: 1. Leave. If you ever detect a natural gas leak LEAVE IMMEDIATELY. Don’t try to find or stop the leak.

2. Do not touch anything electrical before you leave or use a telephone even a cell phone. Do not smoke, turn appliances on or off or operate any vehicle or equipment that could create a spark.

3. Call. Once you are out of the suspected area, immediately call Mason gas at 294-3525. If the smell of natural gas is strong, also call 911.

For more information on natural gas safety call Mason gas at 294-3525

MHS golfers fare well at state tourney

www.covingtonleader.com

TRA

Continued from B1 “The story with this year’s team, just like last year’s, is that we don’t have a lot of numbers

over there on the sideline,” Gengenbach said.

“They work as hard as any team I’ve ever had.

I’m happy they were able to get some of the spotlight they deserved … I’m happy for my se-

niors, and my team, and quite honestly the whole community.”

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com

The Munford boys and girls golf teams held their own last Tuesday and Wednesday at the Class AAA State Tournament at Willowbrook Golf Club in Manchester.

Junior Madison Willis (98-84-182) finished second for Munford and freshman Lindsey Owen (111-128239) also competed for the Lady Cougars (355), which finished 52 strokes behind first-place Clarksville.

Munford, which advanced to the tournament for the second straight year after winning the region title, finished seventh last year.

Emily Williams of Lawrence County won the individual title with a 145 (71-74).

Kara Glover, a senior at Brighton, competed in the individual competition and shot a 200 (108-92).

On the boys side, Munford senior Jake Etherington and junior Easton Lavelle each shot a 151 (Etherington 76-75, Lavelle 73-78) to finish in a tie for 27th place in the individual competition.

Freshman Sam Lopez (85-84-169) and juniors Salvador Lopez (92-82-174) and Josh Mecklin (99-100-199) also competed for Munford, which shot a 645 as a team and finished in eighth place.

Added in amongst the Robinson scoring spree were a 2-yard run by Carlos Burton, a 70-yard run

by Lyons on a third and 8 play and a 61-yard gallop by Johnston White, all in the first quarter.

Josh Watts was good on 5 of 8 PATs for CHS. The Tomcats managed a lone score by quarterback Bryce Young on a 7-yard run early in the second quarter following a 65-yard drive.

The CHS victory sets up a huge District 13-AA West Division matchup tomorrow night at Obion County.

With a bye last week, Obion sits at 7-0 (5-0) and boasts a No. 3 ranking in the Associated Press 4A poll. The Chargers are just a half game back in the standings and are ranked at No. 5.

“Obion has been treating this game like the Super Bowl for weeks,” said CHS assistant coach J. R. Kirby.

“We need a big crowd of our Charger fans to follow us up Hwy. 51 to Obion,” Wheeler said.

“This is a big one in many ways.”

Kick-off is set for 7 p.m.

Covington’s Lady Charger soccer team tuned up for the district playoffs with an 11-2 runaway win over the Gibson County Lady Pioneers on Oct. 4 in their final regular season match.

Freshman Anne Marie Van Cleve turned the hat trick for CHS giving her a total of 20 goals for the year, a CHS record according to Coach Robert Luttrell.

Her fellow freshman, Iesha Tipton, matched her feat with three goals.

J’La Brandon, Gabby Glenn, Kali Moss, Sarah Ann Franklin and Hannah Howard chipped in a goal each in the win.

CHS, finishing 7-6-2 overall and 7-2-2 in the district, will have the #2 seed behind Dyersburg and an opening round bye in the playoffs.

They will host the winner of McKenzie/Haywood at 5 p.m. on Oct. 18 at Charger Field. Semifinal play continues on Oct. 20 at Martin Westview.

In another match, CHS

dropped an 8-0 decision to Madison Academic, the No. 1 seed in District 6, on Oct. 3.

“This was an eye opener,” Luttrell said. “We have to play really good teams to get better.”
