Atoka ready to take out trash Residents dump on proposed plan
The Town of Atoka could soon be in the waste disposal business. At Tuesday night's meeting of the board of mayor and aldermen, city leaders proposed an ordinance which would authorize the town to collect and dispose of residential garbage. "This says that if you live in Atoka, you'll be provided with trash service," said Town Administrator Brian Koral.
By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com
The measure comes, he said, to help reduce the cost of services for residents as well as reduce the number of garbage trucks on city streets. "I live in a cove and we have four or five different trucks that come down there," said Alderman Brett Giannini. Under the proposed plan, the city will be granted a franchise for the provision of public utilities and public services. Waste
collection and brush pickup will be done by a contracted vendor. "By doing this, we can reduce the cost for residents from $3035 per month down to $15," Koral said. By comparison, Covington, the only city in the county that provides residential garbage collection, charges residents $18 per month. And while city leaders are be-
hind the plan, some citizens in attendance – including former alderman Brett Pickard and Dr. Alvin Plexico – had some concerns about the choosing their means of waste removal. "I don't have a contractor right now, I pay $35, so essentially you're asking me to pay $180 a year," Plexico said. "Second, and more important, is freedom. One of the reasons

BES students celebrate Patriot Day By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Dean Brown never served in the military. But his father did. “I kind of served in my dad's military,” Brown joked. Brown's upbringing and sense of patriotism was the impetus for him serving as the organizer of Tuesday's Patriot Day ceremony at Brighton Elementary School, where Brown is an physical education teacher. Students read patriotic-themed messages to the crowd of approximately 100 people, the Brighton High School band performed and a special presentation was made to Arlie Crumpler, a third-grade teacher at BES. Crumpler, who became an educator after retiring from the military, was presented a certificate honoring his service to his country and school. He also received a surprise letter from his daughter, Dawn, and a card of thanks from the staff at BES. “He's a very smart, articulate and knowledgeable guy,” Cain said. “He became an educator to make a difference with the next generation.” Near the end of the ceremony, several BES fifthgraders performed a segment of the Air Force Academy flag-folding ceremony while the BHS band played several patriotic songs. Police and firemen on hand were also honored with certificates. “The goal was to honor the living, treat them like heroes, and remember the dead who sacrificed,” Brown said. “We wanted to do something that says, 'I care.'” Brown closed the ceremony by quoting Ronald Regan: “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.”

Munford improves long-vacant lot
SWORN IN
By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Just what will become of the 36-acre lot located on the Munford side of Highway 51 between McLaughlin Drive and Munford Avenue has been pondered upon by Tipton County citizens for more than a decade. Over the last 15 years, businesses directly across the highway in Atoka have popped up all over the place. McDonald's opened on the southwest corner of McLaughlin and Highway 51 in 1999, but that's been it on the west side of the highway, leaving a wide swath of land populated only by grass, a few trees and the occasional deer venturing out of the nearby woods. Former Atoka mayor and local

JA joins fight against childhood obesity In recognition of National Childhood Obesity Month, the Junior Auxiliary of Tipton Countywill be at Munford Celebrate on Sept. 15 and Heritage Day on Sept. 22 to help bring awareness to this growing epidemic. The program is part of a national effort to eradicate childhood obesity in the United States and ensure young people get a healthy start in life. Junior Auxiliary will have helpful hints to keep active and stay healthy. Come out and look for at our booth at Munford Celebrate and at Heritage Day to receive information on fighting childhood obesity. During the past four decades, obesity rates have soared among all age groups, increasing more than fourfold among children ages six to 11. More than 23 million children and teenagers (31.8 percent) ages two to 19 are obese or overweight, a statistic that health and medical experts consider an epidemic. “The growing rate of childhood obesity in our country is alarming,” said Pennie Hendrix, Junior Auxiliary. “National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month and Junior Auxiliary of Tipton County recognize the serious threat obesity poses to the health of America’s children and the importance of decreasing its prevalence not only in Tipton County, but across the entire United States.” Obese young people have an 80-percent chance of becoming obese adults and are more likely than children of normal weight to become overweight or obese adults. As a result, they are more at risk for associated adult health problems such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, stroke, several types of cancer and osteoarthritis. The financial implications add up to a sobering $14 billion per year in direct health care costs alone. Americans spend approximately nine percent of their total medical costs on obesity related illnesses. Additionally, there are
psychosocial consequences that can hinder academic and social functioning and persist into adulthood. “These severe consequences underscore the critical importance of children and teens to participate in physical activity and to engage in healthy eating habits,” said Hendrix. “Childhood obesity is entirely preventable. It’s up to adults to encourage these healthy habits.” September 2010 was the first National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month, established by presidential and congressional proclamations. "Nothing can be more important than protecting the health and wellbeing of our children for years to come. With a strong unity of purpose, we can make a difference for our kids," said Congresswoman Marcia L. Fudge, who co-sponsored the House resolution. “I look forward to parents, health care providers, educators, civic leaders and organizations joining the effort to end childhood obesity." “Childhood obesity is a public health crisis," said Congresswoman Kay Granger, a co-sponsor. “Children need information and guidance to make informed decisions about food and exercise. Childhood Obesity Awareness Month supports the goals of families, schools, and communities who are working to ensure we raise a healthier generation. If we keep our kids healthy now it will alleviate a major burden on our health care system while giving millions of young people the opportunity to live longer, healthier lives.” In observance of National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month this September, organizations, advocates and families nationwide are again planning events and activities to build awareness of childhood obesity and ways to combat it.

She is assisted by CDC Paraprofessionals, Mrs. Scarla Avery and Mrs. Diana Kuykendall. We are so thankful for all of our staff who stay so committed to helping our children learn and
gas prices, mileage, wear and tear on vehicles and time is factored into the equation, there is a cost savings with the residential garbage plan. Plexico asked the board to consider researching the number of residents who currently subscribe to trash collection services before passing the ordinance to determine whether or not it would benefit the city as a whole. "Basically, I see no incentive to pay $180
a year for something I don't want when I can pay $35 a year for something I like." City officials plan to research their options before holding a public hearing on the matter. If the plan passes, residential garbage collection will be a standard city service for all new residents. Koral hopes to begin the program in early 2012. The next meeting is scheduled for Oct. 2 at 7 p.m.

MUNFORD
Continued from A1 an office in Memphis that was involved in the Atoka Kroger project, is marketing the property. Last week Munford took action to increase the marketability of the property by starting to install sewer lines on the property. Munford is paying for the project. Mayor Dwayne Cole said the amount of money the town is spending on the project is small compared to the potential financial benefits to the town in the future. “We feel like this will lay the foundation for commercial development on that parcel,” Cole said. “There's no comparison with the cost … We think it's forward thinking.” The town recently commissioned an economic impact study on the parcel. According to Cole, when the parcel is fully developed, approximately $230,000 a year would come into Munford's coffers from property and sales

tax alone. Cole said the overall financial impact on Munford could mean much more. “That study, like all studies, are based on a lot of assumptions,” Cole said. “That figure doesn't even include fees for services and all the employees it would bring.” As far as what will eventually locate on the property is uncertain. There was a rumor swirling that Target was coming to Munford, or even a mall. Cole won't speculate. Parker declined comment and a message left with a representative from the Shopping Center Group was not returned. Meanwhile, sewer lines are going in as the city makes an investment that Cole believes will pay off in the long run. “We're trying to enhance the marketability of the parcel,” Cole said. “It's prime commercial real estate.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Why the GOP can’t be my home It amazes me that in the 21st century there are still far too many people who want to return to the “good old days of the South.” How many times will re-enactments of Civil War battles be fought and refought? How many more pictures will be displayed of weekend soldiers dressed in Rebel uniforms brandishing antique rifles? And how dare you, Mr. Hardin, proclaim that no Republican “ever lynched a black man.” I can assure you that political party affiliation was not a prerequisite for the KKK. What makes you think, Mr. Hardin, that your historical account of the Grand Old Party of yesteryear would endear African Americans to “come home?” When, as you said, Democrats were establishing and practicing Jim Crow, standing in front of school doors to prevent desegregation, and making sure African Americans were left out of opportunities did Republicans take great stands against these horrific practices? Did they use their political will to speak out and strike down segregationist legislation? What did the Republican Party actually do to diminish the discrimination and prejudice that African Americans experienced? I believe my fore parents, parents and even I can unequivocally attest that what they did was allow it. As the writer said, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for [so called] good men to do nothing.” You failed to acknowledge in your editorial, Mr. Hardin, that Jim Crow manifested itself in a different way during the Reagan years. Whites left the Democratic Party because African Americans were being elected to political office at all levels. Reagan Democrats of the South joined the Republican Party because they had no desire to share political power with African American elected officials. As long as African Americans were electing whites to office, they remained loyal to the Democratic Party. When African Americans began to seek leadership among their own race, whites left the party. We saw them at the Republican National Convention (RNC). There was nothing said or done during the recent RNC that even remotely made me feel welcome. For you to be so moved as to call the Republican Party home for African Americans proves just how out of touch you and the party really are. During the RNC I saw few African Americans, few Hispanic Americans, few Asian Americans, and few women. In essence, there was a dearth of diversity. Women were being relegated to allow men to make decisions about their own bodies. There was a complete disconnect from people who live on the fringes and need help to pull out and up. Scare tactics were used on senior citizens regarding their health care and coverage. The party’s answer to our economic situation is to insure that corporations go unfettered so they and the wealthy can make all the profits they can, which to a great extent is the cause of our economic downturn. You even said in your editorial that the key focus of the Republic party in the 1850s was to “support American business with lower tariffs and regulations and the elimination of slavery,” which, Mr. Hardin, was also an economic decision, not solely a humane one. What I saw during the RNC was the “party of the haves” making sure they continue to widen the gap between them and everybody else. At least, as you stated in your editorial, African Americans received something in exchange for defecting from the Republican Party, which had obviously been unresponsive to their needs and problems. My question to your call to return is what’s different? African Americans have made great strides in our affiliation with the Democratic Party. Through programs like Affirmative Action we were able to attend and graduate from college, work in jobs that paid good wages and moved us to the middle class, and compete for contracts that allowed our businesses to grow. Through housing programs, we became homeowners at all levels of income. The Republican mantra of “you are on your own” is an agenda towards deepening the decline of the middle class. A Republican presidency would cut food stamps, financial aid and student loans; repeal health care; and increase taxes on the middle class while cutting the taxes of the wealthy. These are policies that weaken the middle class….by keeping those who are striving to get in out and by making it harder for those who are to remain so. You claim that Republicans aren’t against President Obama because he is black. Well you couldn’t validate this statement by what I heard during the RNC. In a very mean-spirited and pernicious way, every speaker bashed the President. I know there is no love lost between Republicans and Democrats, but not one speaker at the RNC rose to the level of statesman. How one says what they say is very telling of how they really feel. The tone and tenor of the RNC was crass and void of civility. Republicans decided early on in the Obama administration that their agenda would be to make sure he was a one-term President. The result was gridlock for the country. The Republicans stopped working for the American people as they had been elected to do and started working solely for the party. The concerns for the people and the country took a back seat to politics. That’s not what Americans want. We want our elected officials to work together. Conflict and disagreement should not be SEE LETTERS, PAGE A5

Continued from A4 the conduits for a winner at all costs proposition. It’s an opportunity to see many sides of the problem and work towards common ground and workable solutions. Stalemate politics has shown Americans what ineffective government looks like and how it negatively impacts the lives of ordinary citizens. This is what we’ve gotten from the Republicans. This is why not only do Democrats not see the Republican nominees as viable choices, many Republicans feel the same way. I purposely wrote this response from the African American perspective because Mr. Hardin addressed his editorial to this group. His motive in trying to persuade African Americans to join the Republic Party is to further widen this voting bloc in Tipton County. As a result of redistricting, the county now has a greater margin of Republican voters. By encouraging African Americans to switch, Republicans could possibly solidify
this county for many years to come. As Democrats, and with the urgent need to move forward, let’s not revert to the way it used to be. All of us, not just African Americans, have progressed and fared better over the years. The economy is already rebounding. Democrats and those who can already see positive change occurring must continue this push. Let’s stay focused, go vote, vote Democrat, and maintain the progress we have fought so hard to achieve. Deborah Reed Munford Thanks to Paslode As a United Way partner agency, I had the opportunity to share with the employees at Paslode how United Way donations have benefited the citizens of Tipton County through the Tipton County Literacy Council. I have been to this plant before, and I must say it is a very humbling experience. The 47 employees at this facility give more to

place Coverdell ESA contributions into virtually any investment you choose - stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, etc. • Zero coupon bonds — A zero coupon bond is priced at a discount to its principal or face value. You receive the principal value when the bond matures. So, you could purchase a zero coupon bond that matures in the year your child is ready to go to college. Although you won’t receive regular interest payments throughout the life of the zero coupon bond, you’ll still be liable for the taxes on this interest. So, before purchasing a zero coupon bond, consult with your tax advisor. These investments have proven popular among many parents and grandparents. However, you’ll need to consult with your financial advisor to determine which college-savings vehicles are appropriate for your needs. But don’t wait too long — because, before you know it, today’s grade-schoolers will be packing for their college dorms.

their United Way Campaign than any other contributor in Tipton County. These 47 employees plus the double match of their parent company give 75% to 80% of all money donated through United Way in Tipton County. This facility is the only 100% employee contributor to United Way in Tipton County. I have never seen anyone give so much to a United Way campaign as Skipper Sage, plant manager. He truly believes in making a difference in his community! Deede Arbuckle had a GREAT campaign sundae kickoff. It is always fun to be a part of their United Way Campaign. Tipton County is truly blessed to have such a community minded company like Paslode. All agency partners are busy working on their in
house campaigns, also. What is great about the United Way of the MidSouth is that ALL money donated in Tipton County comes back to serve the citizens of Tipton County. All partner agencies are accountable for their expenditures and they are scrutinized. If you are interested in helping with the allocations process (deciding who gets what in Tipton County), you can call the United Way office at 901-433-4333. If you want to know how to run a successful United Way Campaign, I am sure an employee of Paslode would be glad to share their secret. Thanks Paslode for allowing me to be a part of your campaign kick-off!

Tennessee honors suicide prevention month In Tennessee, an estimated 900 men, women, and children die by suicide each year. More people die by suicide each year than from homicide, AIDS, or drunk driving. Suicide is the leading cause of violent deaths in our state, nationally, and worldwide, far above homicide and death due to natural disasters. Suicide is the third-leading cause of death among youth and young adults ages 15-24 in Tennessee and throughout the entire nation. According to the Tennessee Department of Health, there were 932 recorded suicide deaths in our state, at a rate of 14.7 per 100,000 people. In almost all cases, suicide can be traced to unrecognized, untreated, or poorly treated mental illness. It can happen to people of either sex, any race or ethnicity, and any economic status. The average suicide death leaves behind six survivors—family and friends of the deceased—all of who are at increased risk for a suicide attempt themselves. As if the emotional and psychological toll were not enough, suicide and suicide attempts cost the state of Tennessee $1 billion a year in medical treatment, lost wages, and lost productivity. The Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network (TSPN) and its allies in the public health, mental health, and social service
fields are joining forces to recognize the month of September as Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. During this annual observance, TSPN and its allies arrange several educational and memorial events across Tennessee. These projects help teach the general public about the problem of suicide and how it can be prevented. They also give us an opportunity to remember those lost to suicide; to encourage survivors of suicide, survivors of suicide attempts, and people who have triumphed over mental illness; and to recognize individuals who have made notable contributions to suicide prevention efforts in our state. As part of this observance, mayors and county executives across Tennessee will receive proclamations declaring September as Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, which they will sign in support of our state’s Details about the Suicide Prevention Awareness Day observance and other events planned across the state will be announced on the TSPN website (www.tspn.org). Additional information about Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and the Pledge to Prevent Suicide is available from the TSPN central office at(615) 297-1077 or tspn@tspn.org.

Almyra Libby CLick
Hi Everyone. We sure want to have the beautiful fall foliage this year we`ve always had. It is so sad to ride around and see all the fallen trees and dead foliage. When you see the dead poison ivy , I`m assuming there truly is such a thing as global warming. If it hasn`t made it to the top yet , it will in November. The storms last week were really scary for me, as Charlie and I were at a football game and of course left in the middle. I know I`m a small person, however, the wind actually blew me to the car as I was running. Hopefully we won't experience that again soon. Our grand-daughter little Mary Allison Quinn turned four on Monday. We went to a party for her on Saturday evening, but the immediate family said they partied all week-end and again at her school on Monday. Her mom said she will be broken hearted because it`s all over. Now congratulations and happy birthday to my son, Michael(Mike) Ray Scott, this week and happy anniversary to my daughter,
Sherri and son-in-law David Kidd. Twenty years on their side. As you may already know, our family is so large there`s birthdays and anniversaries every month. I truly wish residents in Almyra would call and give me some of thier stories. However, at the most recent football game, a resident near by on Galilee Church Road requested I mention a red car that`s constantly passing thier home going 80 miles per hour to please slow down,as they cannot get out of thier drive safely. Hopefully the word will be spread. Salem Presybeterian Worship is at 11 each Sunday morning. Rev. Charles Todd is the minister. Everyone always welcome. The Disciple Makers Equipping Conference will be held at Brighton ARP Church this Saturday the 15th from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Remember to pre- register at Mario@ arpsynod.org. The cost is $10 and lunch is included. The Womens Bible Study will meet this Thursday, Sept. 13 at 7 p.m. All youth are encouraged to attend the “Answers in Genesis" Bible conference at Clopton Methodist Church at 6:00

Hello dear friends. This day is Tuesday, September 11, and all is well in our neck of the woods. We have finally had some rain. Our grass in the yard is looking the best it has looked this summer. Our little great grand son Adrin, 6 years old goes, to Millington Elementary School. They had grandparents day this past Monday. There was a big crowd there. I think the principle was overwhelmed by the attendance. We met in the cafeteria and had donuts, juice, and coffee. They were also making pictures if you wanted to pay. It was good to see how new schools are built for little people. We were impressed. Our yard is looking so better since we have had some rain. The lake behind our home is now back to normal. Elm Grove United Methodist Church is enjoying our new pastor, Lee Ramsey and Mary Lesley Ramsey. We have Sunday School amd church each Sunday and Sunday night service, and Wednesday night prayer service. We are having a

I just hope I’ll be able to eat some of that fish on the night of our fish fry! I’ve been needing to lose some weight but I wasn’t expecting to lose it this way! In 2006 I was in the hospital 56 days with this pancreas, so you have no idea how glad I am to not have to stay in this time. But I know God is in complete control of all things! And I thank you all for your many prayers given to Him for me!!! Our deepest sympathy goes to a very precious family this week for the loss of their mother, and their me-
mama! Isn’t that a precious grandma name! I love it! I’m speaking of the family of Diana Rucker who passed away last Friday. She was a member of Gateway Baptist Church and was a wonderful God fearing woman with a wonderful God fearing family!!! Me-mama has left a legacy of the Christlike life!! Brain cancer at 66 years old, just goes to prove, you’ve got to be ready when the trumpet sounds and the Lord calls your name! That was her wish for everyone, be ready!! My heart breaks for her children Jana (my sweet friend), Debbie and Joey and all those precious grandchildren!! Especially our little friend, Joseph!!!! Until next week, love each other, give lots of hugs, but most of all, love the Lord your God, with all your heart, soul and mind!!!

TUPELO On July 16, 1862, I. C. Neal of the 51st Tennessee Infantry wrote: “Capt. (Sidney Elam) Sherrill (Co. K) returned to camp today from home (Mt. Carmel) in Tipton County. No yanks has been in his county yet.” General Braxton Bragg’s Confederate army held a general review on the 20th . A soldier in the 4th Tennessee wrote: “Generals’ Polk, Cheatham, A. P. Stewart and Tennessee Governor Isham G. Harris reviewed the troops.” Two days later Bragg’s army prepared to move to Mobile.

Beans have started turning yellow and some farmers have some ready to cut! Corn is history and made better than we thought it would with the dry Summer we had. Cotton is pure white in some fields and ready to pick, and in others, still green leaves with white cotton bolls peeking through. We don't have any cotton this year but it's a beautiful sight. Elizabeth, Lyla and I went to Memphis last Tuesday and were gone long enough to eat both lunch and supper out! Long day but it was fun! We were shocked to hear Wednesday morning and Leland Jackson had passed away in his sleep! But he just said the prayer at church Sunday night, we thought! Nevertheless, we lost a sweet man - never heard him say a bad thing about anyone. Navy man who loved his country, his church and his three children that he and Verna adopted, Joe, Gayle and Renee. Verna and Renee passed from this life before him. We will miss him so much! Thursday Andy Faulkner, Kirk Daniel, Danny Waits and I interviewed nine women for Bonnie Holloway's secretarial position at the Soil Conservation Service.

was assisted by mortar boats, and the combined fleets of Charles H. Davis’ ironclad gunboats and Alfred W. Ellet’s rams from Memphis. In July, General Earl Van Dorn commanded the Confederate forces at Vicksburg, including the four companies of the 1st Tennessee Heavy Artillery. At least 34 Tiptonians served in the artillery battalion of about 280 men, mostly in Captains’ Paul Dismukes 2d Company A. These artillerymen manned the upper batteries below Fort Hill commanding the bend of the river above the city. Heavy cannon fire summoned the artillerymen to duty early on the morning of July 15th. Hundreds of cheering soldiers and civilians witnessed the embattled Confederate gunboat Arkansas, with their broadside cannon blasting away through nearly 50 Union vessels, come to anchor along the Vicksburg wharf. That night the artillerymen from the Volunteer State engaged nine of the

Lots of limbs and trees down around the area. But it's been in the 70's since and it's great. Another cold front this weekend, then cooler again. Love it!

Then at 3:30 the Girls Gifts Class had a Modesty Fashion Show. Really nice, and they provided the refeshments to all the women who attended. After night services we had a church corporation meeting and voted on whether or not to build the new building. Haven't heard the results yet! There will be a baby shower for little Ty Conner and his mom, Whitney Hanks Conner, Sunday the 16th at 1 p.m. at the building. Not many babies get to come to their own showers! We can't wait to see him! Jenni Langston, Donna Kellum, Tonya Stanley

The Tennessee gunners inflicted serious damage upon several of the enemy sloops and gunboats in passing the batteries, without suffering a single casualty during the hour-long action. On July 22, Union gunboats and rams attacked the Arkansas. The Tennessee artillerymen came to the aid of their gunboat again. The Federal gunboat Essex passed the batteries but was struck several times in passing. The Union ram was driven back to the upper fleet in a “crippled condition” and was later destroyed when the Union fleet withdrew from Vicksburg. In a report written in August, General M. L. Smith paid high tribute to the artillery defenders of Vicksburg including the “four companies of heavy artillery from Fort Pillow” under Major (F. W.) Hoadley: …For more than 75 days and nights

have these batteries been continuously manned and ready for action at a moment’s notice; during much of this time the roar of cannon has been unceasing, and there have been portions of it during which the noise of falling shot and the explosions of shells have been such as might make the stoutest heart quail, yet none faltered; the blazing sun, the fatiguing night-watch, the storm of battle, all were alike cheerfully endured, an whenever called upon heavy and telling blows were dealt upon our foes in return. I feel a pride in having such officers and men under my command, for they have nobly sustained our cause in time of need, have added to the country’s glory, and deserve well of her gratitude.” Most likely the artillerymen from Tipton did not know on the morning of the 15th that the courageous commander of the Arkansas was former Covington resident Isaac N. Brown.

Staff and service recipients went to the Ripley Center to visit with service recipients on Friday, Aug. 17 and spent the day and had lunch with them. They are watching a DVD of “The Place to Grow” in the front room. We also have been doing a devotional in the front room Monday-Friday. We have been learning office skills here at the center. We made getwell cards for one of the former service recipients, Mr. Jerry Bouwman. We hope he gets to feeling better. We had a lady come read us a story last Friday. They watched a DVD of the “Andy Show” in the front room. Staff and service recipients went to the Covington Sportsplex to work out and do some exercis-

We had our carpets in our rooms at the center cleaned on Friday, Aug. 24 here at the center and they look very nice. Ripley service recipients and staff came to the center to spend the day at the Covington Center on Aug. 27. Everyone had a nice time. Staff and service recipients from both centers went to the Casey Jones Museum to take a tour of it. Afterwards, we went to eat at Casey Jones. Ev-
eryone had a nice time. We saw a movie on the life of Casey Jones. The staff and service recipients came up with some names for our new group. We call ourselves the Crushing Bandits. We also got a generous donation from the Covington Sportsplex and we appreciate it very much. Upcoming September birtdays: Mary Marcy.

FRIDAY FOOTBALL: CROCKETT AT COVINGTON • JNS AT BRIGHTON • DYER CO. AT MUNFORD • ROSSVILLE AT TRA
Cougars topple Trojans Late-game magic helps Munford break nine-year streak By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Four years ago, Matt Saunders, who was in his first season as head coach at Munford, made a promise to his freshmen. “I told these guys, when they were freshmen in high school, halftime of their freshmen game against Millington,” Saunders said. “I told them they were going to beat Millington by the time they were seniors.” Saunders made good on his promise Saturday night. Thanks to a dramatic late-game drive and a gutsy call to go for two in the closing seconds, Munford ended nine years of frustration against Millington Saturday night with a 29-28 win over the Trojans in the annual M and M Bowl. A game that was suspended midway through the second quarter Friday because of lightning and contin- QB Hunter Harden ued Saturday before a near-capacity crowd in Munford came down to the final two minutes. With the scored knotted at 21, Millington (2-1) took possession of the ball at its own 14. On the Trojans' first play from scrimmage, Lakeron Garcia caught a pass from Alan Moore at the Millington 35 and took it the distance to put his team ahead 28-21 with 2:25 left. Munford (2-2) quarterback Hunter Harden and his receivers went to work on the ensuing possession, which began at the Cougar 16. Harden, who completed 12 of 26 passes for 240 yards and two scores, hit Derek Pierce on a 34-yarder to move to midfield and found D'Marious Exum moments later for 28 yards down to the Millington 26. Facing a fourth and four at the Millington 23, Harden hit Turner Weston to move the Cougars to the Millington 14. With 23 ticks left, Harden hit Pierce in the end zone for a 14-yard touchdown. Saunders sent his field goal team out to apparently kick the tying

Rebs take down Byrne By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Ti p t o n - R o s e m a r k Academy was in need of a win Friday night at home against Bishop Byrne. Some solid second-half defense and a key thirdquarter drive proved to be just the ticket as the Rebels notched their first victory of the season with a 21-14 win. “I was really happy for our players,” said TRA head coach Dodd Gengenbach, whose team moved to 1-2. “They work hard and deserve to feel like this after a Friday night.” The third quarter was the key. Rosemark capped off a 10-play, time-consuming drive with a four-yard Zach Dickson TD run SEE REBELS, PAGE A20
Leading up to last weekend's Covington-Brighton game, Charger head coach Marty Wheeler talked slowing down the Cardinals' highoctane offense and reclaiming his program's spot as the top football team in Tipton County. His team accomplished both goals by breaking a five-year losing streak against Brighton with a 29-7 win that took two days and 25-plus hours to complete. “In the preseason, I felt like if we were going to get to where we wanted to be, we needed to get better on defense,” said Wheeler, whose team finished off the win Saturday night in Brighton after the game was suspended at halftime Friday because of lightning. “We told our guys all week they were going to find out how good our defense is because they have a good offense … I can't say enough about them. Just a total effort from our defense.” The Covington (4-0) defense held Brighton (1-2) to just 103 yards.
After allowing a touchdown on an eight-yard run by Antonio Dickerson that came on the heels of a blocked punt by Malcolm Terry, the Covington defense kept the Cardinals off the board. With 8:25 left in the game and Covington leading 26-7, Brighton got down to the Covington oneyard line. On fourth and goal from there, Johnston White deflected a lateral intended for Dickerson, scooped it up and ran 96 yards to the end zone. The return was nullified because of a penalty, but the play put an end to any plans Brighton had for a late-game comeback. “They've got a real good football team,” said Brighton coach Will Wolfe. “We just couldn't get going. I'm a little shocked we didn't play better … It is what it is. You win some, you lose some.” Perhaps the biggest surprise of the game was the frequency with which Covington, known for its running game, put the ball in the air. Junior quarterback T.A. Watson SEE CHARGERS, PAGE A20

Lady Charger soccer defeats South Fulton Volleyball, cross country off to good start By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com The Lady Charger soccer team came out of the gate fast with wins over Ripley and Haywood only to suffer at 1-0 setback in game three against Dyer County. “I thought wee played well on defense,” coach Robet Luttrell said, “but we could not capitalize on several good scoring opportunities.” CHS bounced back with a big 3-2 come-from-behind win at South Fulton on Sept. 4. Trailing 1-0 at the break, Covington scored three goals in the second half. J’La Brandon, who has been sidelined for several games with a sprained knee, returned to the pitch to score two goals in the first 10 minutes providing a much-needed spark off the bench. Defensive standout and junior captain Whitney Young recorded the gamewinning goal on a penalty kick with 15 minutes left. “South Fulton was unbeaten until tonight,” Luttrell said. “They are a really good team which has eight senior players. They eliminated us in the playoffs last season so it was good to get a win at their place. Our goalie, Callie McDaniel, has been a standout to start the season. She played really well in this match.” Covington dropped Trenton Peabody 3-0 on Sept. 6 in a match stopped due to lightning with 27 minutes left to play. Brandon had one goal and Jasmine Brown two. Luttrell cited Arianna Cullum for her defensive play in the game. With the win, CHS improved to 4-0 in district play. The Brighton Lady Cardinals were not so kind on Sept. 10, defeating
Covington 5-1. Anne Marie Van Cleve scored the lone CHS goal five minutes into the 2nd half. “I give the credit to Brighton,” Luttrell said. “ They were the better team on the pitch tonight.” The Chargers upcoming schedule includes McKenzie at home today and at Dyersburg on Tuesday. In other Covington action: • Coach Sharman Coley has her boys and girls cross country squads in top form for the season. In their opening meet at Trenton, Alexis Johnson posted a 35th place finish, competing against 100 runners. Jamaricus Jackson came in 17th in a field of 128 runners on the boys' side with a time of 19:15. CHS participated in the Crockett Co. meet on Sept. 4. “We are showing improvement with each meet,” Coley said. Alexis Johnson was again the top finisher among CHS ladies. The boys' top finisher was Mycal Bandy. Cross country will run at Munford on Saturdy and at Union City on Tuesday. • The Covington volleyball team has begun the season with 3-1 record, including wins at Haywood and Ripley. The lone loss came at Dyer County. The latest win came over Ripley on the home court on Aug. 30. The Lady Chargers took down the Lady Tigers three sets to one. Ryleigh Deverell led the way with eight aces in the match. Alli McDivitt added five aces and Kaitlyn Ashburn four. Lyndsey Ashburn and Deverell each had two kills each. Covington returns to action at Dyersburg today before hosting Milan and Gibson County on Monday.

McCool wins triathlon
Brighton senior Bri McBride signed a scholarship last week to play softball for coach Kevin Barefield at Blue Mountain College.
Baker McCool finished first in his 25-29 age group and overall at the first annual Covington Mini-Triathlon, held Saturday morning at CobbParr Memorial Park. McCool completed the 200-yard swim, nine-mile bike ride and 3.2-mile run in 1:04.55. “We were very pleased with this being our first year in holding a triathlon,” said Richard Vandergrift, athletic coordinator at the Covington Sportsplex. “I'm sure we will grow as word gets out that our course was challenging. We had a couple folks who do compete in triathlons around the area and thought ours was well laid out.” Steve Clark took second and William Allen Wooten third in the 2529 group at the event, which was sponsored by the Covington Parks and Recreation Center. Angela Clark completed the course in 1:14 to
McBride signs with Blue Mountain College Brighton senior centerfielder Bri McBride signed a scholarship last Thursday to play softball at Blue Mountain College in Blue Mountain, Miss. “We are really excited that Bri has chosen to play with us,” said BMC coach Kevin Barefield. “She is an outstanding player on offense and defense who comes from a really strong program, and we think she’ll make an immediate impact on our team.” McBride helped the Lady Cardinals to a 25-8 record her junior year with a .364 batting average and a .437 on base percentage.
She had seven doubles, drove in 15 runs, scored 15 runs and stole seven bases. In the outfield, she had a 1.000 fielding percentage. Playing for Tennessee Team Elite during the summer, she hit .274 and had a .410 on-base percentage with four doubles and three triples. “Bri is an exceptional athlete and young lady,” said Troy Sisson, her Team Elite coach. “She will be a valuable asset to the Blue Mountain program, and I’m very proud that she will be able to realize her dream of playing college softball.”

COMMENTARY
Born of God By RALPH KELLEY Special to The Leader John 1:11-13 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. John uses the same repetition of “His own” in this verse as he used “the world” in verse ten. When John wrote these words, much time had passed since the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, and John was still amazed that the Lord’s own people, Israel, the chosen people, who should have been the first to know and acknowledge His coming, that even “His own” rejected Him. Him, Jesus, the Messiah, they rejected. But not all of them. Even though John tells us of the unbelief of the chosen people, he next turns to the fact that there
were some, who had received Jesus. To those of Israel, who accepted the claim of Jesus as the Son of God, and believed the message that He delivered to them, He gave them the ‘right’ to become children of God. There is a strange message here, when John states, “He gave them the right to become children of God” does not declare that they were made children of God by believing, but to the believers, He gives the “right” to “become” children of God. What does this mean? I believe prior to His death, burial and resurrection, their belief carried them to the other side of the cross where their belief, their faith, led them to yield themselves to God, and to repent of their sins and to receive the gift of His Holy Spirit, and then, become a child of God. Israel by adoption, the Gentiles by the spirit of adoption. This promise was not made to some far off future time, but to the cross of Jesus, where those who believe in His finished work on the cross, at that time of belief, enjoy the privilege and right

of becoming a child of God. We must never forget that salvation cannot be earned or is even deserved by man. Salvation is only gained by total belief in Jesus dying on the cross, of His being buried and His rising three days later. We are saved by His free gift. New birth is a condition of salvation, and it was understood by John that those believers, before the cross, who had received the right to become a child of God, would follow through by their obedience of the gospel after the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, and thus, were born again. This new birth is of God, spiritual and from above. This new birth did not come through being a descendant of Abraham nor did it come through the birth canal of a woman through the sexual act of reproduction, and it did not come because man decided it was so. This new birth only came through the will of God, a spiritual birth, because He loves us.

Why are young men and women the future of Christianity? By BRO. JAY L. WHALEN Minister of Music & Education, Brighton Baptist Church If you men and women falter, America will continue to spiral into a modern day version of the lukewarm and stagnant believers in Ephesus and Laodecea (Rev. 2:4-5 & 5:15-22). But if somehow young men and women can catch fire for Christ, who can imagine the spectacular of what could be? Why would I say that it depends on young men and women? The reason from my study is that history reveals it has always been the passion of the young adults in the church who have sparked the spread of the Good News of a radically new life through faith in Christ. It seems
that younger adults are down in the trenches and gutter with the compassion of Christ and revelation of scripture in their hearts spilling over onto those around them. This can set their churches and communities ablaze with supernaturally changes lives. I do recognize the future depends ultimately on God's own orchestration and plans. How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways beyond tracing out (Romans 11:33-36). I also understand that fervent prayer is essential to move the hand of God for revival. It won't happen without many being on their knees. God wants us to pray our heartfelt desires. My own specific, fervent prayer is a surge

of on-fire Spirit-led, and Biblically-based young adults, I guess to correct that I should say all adults in our church. We as a church need to pray that each of us can be used by God to transform our own areas through being examples of God's transforming power of grace and forgiveness. If we do, God will pour out blessings beyond our imagination. Beginning earlier this month, at 8:30 a.m. every Sunday until the Crusade, we will have special prayer for the harvest of many souls to be saved during this crusade.

Final notice and Public exPlanation oF a ProPosed activity in a 100-year FloodPlain To: All interested Agencies include all Federal, State, and Local, Groups and Individuals This is to give notice that the HUD under part 50 or Responsible Entity under Part 58 has conducted an evaluation as required by Executive Order 11988 and/or 11990, in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management, to determine the potential affect that its activity in the floodplain and wetland will have on the human environment for a Community Development Block Grant. The proposed wastewater treatment facility improvements project is located on Front Street in Mason, Tipton County, Tennessee, and will be used to improve the influent pumps, purchasing an emergency generator for the pumps, acquire land for Phase I for a drip irrigation system, and for constructing zones 1-5 of the new drip irrigation system. A small portion of the approximately 40 acres of the project is in the 100-year floodplain. The Town of Mason has considered the following alternatives and mitigation measures to be taken to minimize adverse impacts and to restore and preserve natural and beneficial values: (i) the project as proposed will eliminate any adverse impacts that occurred as a result of the May 2010 flood. This project will also help to protect the wastewater treatment plant and the infrastructure systems from potential future disasters, (ii) this site is the most feasible for a large drip field due mainly to proximity and relative isolation from populated areas, (iii) Air quality and surface water permits may be required for the project. The Town of Mason has reevaluated the alternatives to building in the floodplain and has determined that it has no practicable alternative. Environmental files that document compliance with steps 3 through 6 of Executive Order 11988 and/or 11990, are available for public inspection, review and copying upon request at the times and location delineated in the last paragraph of this notice for receipt of comments. This activity will have no significant impact on the environment for the following reasons: The site is in a rural and secluded location away from populated areas. There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in floodplains and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about these areas. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information about floodplains can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will participate in actions taking place in floodplains, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk. Written comments must be received by the Town of Mason at the following address on or before September 28, 2012. Town of Mason, 12157 Main Street, (901) 294-3525, Attention: David Ward, Mayor, during the hours of 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Comments may also be submitted via email at masoncityhall@comcast.net. 9/13/2012

completed 8 of 15 passes for 98 yards, and could have had a lot more if not for four dropped passes by Covington receivers.

extra point, but called time out and huddled up with his squad on the sideline. When the huddle broke, the offense took the field. “I had 100 percent faith in it,” Saunders said. “It wasn't a decision. I knew I was going to call timeout. I knew what play I was going to call. I told them, 'Guys, if you had told me before the game we had three yards to beat Millington, instead of going for overtime, let's go because we're going to get it.' And we did.” Harden rolled out to the right and found Pierce five yards deep in the end zone for the game-winning conversion. “We really weren't supposed to be throwing to me,” said Pierce, who caught six passes for 122 yards. “I had the backside route. Hunter had time and he hit me.” “Coach asked us if we wanted to go for the win or go for the tie,” Harden said. “We've lost to Millington since 2003. It was either go big or go home, so we took
sion of the second half, Covington went 55 yards in six plays and went ahead 19-7 on a six-yard touchdown run by Jalen Henderson. “They're a very aggressive defense,” Wheeler said. “Their size makes it difficult for us to run the ball at times. I thought we threw the ball well, but we've got to do a better job of catching it. We've got a passing game. We have to take what the defense gives us.”
Covington's rushing game was efficient as well. White ran 22 times for 181 yards, including a 20-yard touchdown in the second quarter that gave Covington a 12-7 lead. The Chargers got on the board with 7:36 left in the second quarter when Andrew Miller took a fake punt 68 yards for a score. Covington outgained Brighton 407 to 103. Brighton quarterback
Brady Stewart completed 11 of 24 passes for 86 yards. The game was one of several around West Tennessee that had to be completed Saturday night after thunderstorms moved through the area Friday night. “That was a first for me,” Wheeler said. “We tried to stay with our routine as much as we could … The biggest thing for us was trying not to make too many adjustments during that
the chance … He was wide open and made a big catch. The catch won this game … Everyone made big plays. I'm real emotional right now.” Munford got off to a quick start, going ahead 7-0 on its fourth play from scrimmage on a 52-yard TD catch by Antonio Moore. Exum, who rushed for 125 yards on 25 carries, scored on a 27-yard run midway through the second quarter to put Munford ahead 14-7. A three-yard run by Hardin just before halftime gave the Cougars a 21-7 halftime lead. Millington Antonio Webber, who had a 94-yard touchdown run in the second quarter and finished with 285 yards and three touchdowns, scored on an 18-yard run in the fourth quarter to tie the score at 21. Moore completed 6 of 14 passes for 204 yards, but it wasn't enough. Munford racked up 408 yards of offense. “Our seniors deserve this,” Saunders said, mo-
ments after getting drenched with a cooler full of water by his players. “They've been through so much. I've
been praying all week that something good was going to happen tonight. God answered my prayers.”

that put the Rebels ahead 21-14. The defense only allowed Bishop Byrne (0-3) one possession during the third quarter and kept the clamps on in the fourth period to preserve the win. “We had the ball just about the whole third quarter,” Gengenbach said. “That helped keep their offense off the field and helped keep the defense fresh. The kids stayed fresh and were able to compete in the fourth quarter, which has been an issue for us.” An 85-yard Austin Rushing-to-Austin Chambers pass in the first quarter gave TRA a 7-0 lead. In the second quarter, Chambers broke a 16-yarder for a score that put the Rebels ahead 14-7. Chambers had a solid allaround game, rushing for 53 yards and passing for 130 more.
