Several local races on November ballot Candidates gearing up for upcoming municipal elections
The race for president is of course garnering the most attention as the Nov. 6 election nears. But there are also a lot of local races on the ballot for Tipton County voters to consider. Incumbent Brighton Mayor Jeff Scott is being challenged by Earl Kinney Bridges. Five people – Sarah Crocker, Phillip Mathis, Melissa Sartain, George Smith and James Wyatt – are running for four Brighton alderman slots in Brighton. In Covington, there will be a contested race for District 1

alderman between incumbent Shelvie Rose and Minnie Bommer, who ran for mayor several years ago. Down in Atoka, Walker Adams, Brett Giannini, Bobby Hutchison, Richard Kiphut, Chris McConnell and Bradley Ross are running for three alderman seats. Johnny Crigger, Terry Colin, Gary Fodor and Robert Forbess will compete for three alderman spots in Munford. In Gilt Edge, Billy Fleming, Stephen Fletcher and Holly McDow are running for coun-
cilman. Gilt Edge voters will also decide on a referendum to increase the number of councilman in the town from three to five. The result of that referendum will dictate how many are named to the town's council. The state race figuring to garner the most attention is for District 81 state representative. Republican Debra Moody, Democrat Conneye Albright and Tommy Hill, who is running as an independent, will battle for the seat vacated by the retired Jimmy Naifeh.
Early voting will take place Oct. 17 through Nov. 1. The Leader will publish a "Meet the Candidates" supplement, with information submitted by individual candidates, on Thursday, Oct. 18. The Tipton County Election Commission office in Covington and the Munford Muncipal Building on College Street will be open Mondays, Wedensdays and Fridays, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Tuesdays and Thursdays, 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturdays, 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

SCHOOLS
Burlison elected school board chairman By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Three newly-elected Tipton County School Board members attended their first board meeting on Thursday and all three voted to elected a new board chairman. Marty Burlison, who is serving his second stint on the board after being elected last month, won a roll call vote 5-4 over Marty Haywood after being nominated by Chris Fisher. New board members Farrel Vincent and Kay Scott voted for Burlison, as did Fisher, Burlison and Grant Shipley Jr. Haywood, Thomas Taylor, Richard Joyner and Alvis Ferrell voted for Haywood. “I appreciate your confidence,”
said Burlison, who took over the meeting upon being elected. At the close of the meeting, Fisher thanked Haywood for serving as chairman. “I'm not going anywhere,” Haywood said, “believe you me that.” In other matters: • Donnie Wallace updated the board on construction projects going on in the schools, including restroom upgrades at the Covington High School gym and a new agricultural barn at Brighton High School. He said a $150,000 grant is helping fund the construction of the new 4,800-square-foot barn. He also said approximately $209,000 was saved last year because of energy saving measures taken by school officials. • Vincent asked the board to

consider including budget information and job postings on the school board's website. Board members voted to address the matter at next month's meeting. • John Combs, interim director of instruction, talked about the ongoing teacher evaluations. “For the most part it's been a positive experience,” he said. “I would not have said that last year.” • Charlotte Fisher, director of operations, said the system has 410 support staff employees who are are full time and 28 who are part time. She said the system has 154 bus drivers who transport 8,500 students daily. • Director of Schools Buddy Bibb announced that next month's meeting will be on Oct. 18.

In his role as town administrator, Brian Koral has never been one to shy away from technology, and he is encouraging other city officials to embrace it as well. During last week’s meeting of the Board of Mayor and Alderman, not only was Koral following along with the agenda on his iPad, but Town Recorder Debbie Pickard, Public Works Director Daniel Lovett and Police Chief Jessie Poole were as well. It’s not very common to see iPads used during meetings, especially by municipal employees. “There’s a cost savings of not having to make board packets,” said Koral, “though we still do, just not as many as before.” But the iPads are not being used simply as e-readers. Koral is encouraging the town’s BRIAN KORAL department heads to Atoka Town Administrator make technology work for them. “Part of adopting new technology, in some senses, is, ‘Here it is, how can you use it? What ways will you find to make it useful?” he said. “The technical skill required to operate it is not great, so it gets that out of the way and allows people to think, ‘Okay, what can we do with it? What are some things we can see this technology doing for us?’” Though each unit cost the city $450, which includes both the purchase and a protective cover, Koral said they will save both time and money. “We bought a generation back, so this is not the new iPad, but we’re not spending the big money to get the latest and greatest,” he said. “This is all about ways we can work smarter.” The public works department’s budget seems to be reaping the biggest benefits of using iPads. Lovett, for example, can now control the city’s water systems without having to be on-site to do so. “We used to have to send somebody out each day to get readings, but you can do that from the office now. Daniel has the ability to log in and look at pump pressures and water levels at our water towers and pump stations and he can control them remotely.” Koral said. “If we get a call there’s an issue, he can pull up things … if there’s a staff member we’re sending out, he can give them a call and say ‘Here’s what I’m seeing, you may need to do this …’ right from where he is.” And not only does the iPad make Lovett’s job easier, the technology allows for a cost savings in terms of insurance premiums. “The controls that used to talk back and forth be-

Making sure all the data was correct and getting all that uploaded. I was already here. Miss Georgia's (Dawson, who served as director of instruction for one year) retirement kind of took everybody by surprise … She was hired by Battelle for Kids. She's going to do a real good job … Dr. Bibb came and got me at that time and said, “I need you to be interim director of instruction.” It's hard to tell the boss no, so I said okay, that would be fine. My role as principal and what I'd been doing with evaluations kind of prepared me for this role. Plus, the support staff here is amazing. All the supervisors, everybody, is great. We kind of do it as a team.

Q&A
Q: How has public education changed since you were in school? A: The very first word that comes to mind is accountability. When you and me were in school, I remember going in there saying, “Okay, this state test we're getting ready to take isn't a big deal.” The teachers had the basic state framework and they taught that framework. They would either venture from it or they wouldn't. Now, they give you a state curriculum guideline and you follow those guidelines and you teach that stuff because that's what these kids are going to see on the test. You're not teaching to the test, but you want the kids to know what they're going to be tested on … for them. There's so many decisions based on how they do on that test. Whether it be ACT. It's going to determine college. You've got to get them ready. A big thing is academic vocabulary. A lot of them will look at that test and they'll know the answer, but they don't understand the question …So much more is in the school setting than there used to be. I wish we could do more things, like teach more keyboard classes and others that used to be taught. But now, there's just so much drive for all that accountability because the state expects you to get that done. And if you don't, funding can be cut. You'll be put on a list. Accountability's probably the biggest piece. That's the biggest thing that's changed.
WITH JOHN COMBS
Editor’s note: This week we are continuing a feature called Q&A. Through this feature we hope to help you get to know your neighbors, government officials and others in the community. Today we are publishing a chat with John Combs, a former principal at Brighton Middle School who took over as the interim director of instruction of Tipton County Schools on Sept. 3. Q: When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? A: I wanted to be an archaeologist. Researching past civilizations, investigating myths, even looking for truth in conspiracy theory has always intrigued me. Q: What person had the biggest influence on you growing up? A: That's tough. I had a great set of parents and an awesome brother, but I would have to say spending time with my grandfather and listening to his stories are what I remember most. He spent time in a tank during the Korean War, which contributed to a good deal of hearing loss. It didn't affect his ability to tell a great story, but we do think he “selected” some of the things he heard from grandma. He died when I was in college and I certainly wish my kids could have met him.
Q: What's the biggest issue facing Tipton County schools right now? A: If you'd asked me that question two years ago, I'd have said growth. We've kind of stalled a little bit as far as growth. But who knows as far as what goes on in neighboring counties. How that will affect our growth. That could kick back up again. Of course funding is always an issue. Our starting teacher salary in Tipton County is like the sixth highest in the state. But our per-pupil expenditure that we get through BEP from the state department is (ranked) 102 (approximately $1,000 under the state average). We try to get the best teachers here. We want to be competitive … I'd say funding is one of the biggest issues. Of course, there's always other things that people will ask about. Gang stuff. All that kind of thing. You know, we have a little bit of that. Obviously, everybody does. But not as much. It's still nice being in Tipton County and outside of some of those areas. But that's always something
Q: What do you like to do in your spare time? A: Between church, family and work there isn't much free time. I do enjoy working outdoors and reading though. Q: Tell us about the circumstances that led to your current position? A: Last year was my first year up here at the central office. Last year I came up to the central office to run the TIF (Teacher Incentive Fund) grant … I was to administrate that. There are nine of our schools that

Laundry Room a new, unique business Owner washes, dries, folds laundry, then delivers to your door By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com Candi Campbell might as well call herself a dream come true. As Atoka’s only laundry fairy – that is, the owner of Atoka’s brand new business The Laundry Room – that is exactly what she has become. “I didn’t think it’d be such an overwhelming response,” she said from her Harper Street home Monday, “I’m probably going to have to get some help soon; it’s only been a few weeks and I'm already overwhelmed.” For $20 Campbell will bring you a laundry bag, help you stuff it as full as you can, then take your dirty clothes to her house, wash, dry and fold or iron them, then deliver them the next day. (Sometimes there’s even same-day service.) And, if you’d like, she’ll even put it away. “Most people say they don’t like folding it or putting it away. I told them, ‘I’ll come put it away if you’d like,’ and they’re like, ‘Okay ..’ or ‘No, that’s a little personal …’” For Campbell, having the opportunity to help other families while helping her own is what makes this business perfect. Prior to opening the business less than a month ago, she worked in the medical field but wanted to find something that would allow her to see her 7-year-old daughter more often. “Sometimes I wouldn’t see her wake up or go to bed, so it was really hard on her and me,” she said. “I wanted to be here for my daughter, see her on the school bus and see her get off the school bus, and so it helped with me being able to stay home and also help other families.” Campbell said the idea to open a personal laundry service came when she realized she was spending entire weekends doing what fell by the wayside during the work week. “As a busy family ourselves, I realized by the end of the week

Friday, September 21 starts at 7 p.m. at the VFW the laundry was piled up and we were spending our weekends doing the laundry,” she said. “I’d rather spend more family time together than catching up on the laundry for the week to get ready for the next week. I thought, ‘I can’t be the only one who has this problem,’ so that kind of spurred the idea to maybe help other families who need it.” Campbell makes the service completely customized to the individual needs of the family, allowing them to choose detergents and methods of folding if they’d prefer. “Everyone has preferences as to how they’d like their laundry folded or dried or hung. Whatever they would do themselves, I’ll do for them and sometimes they say, ‘Well you did it even better,’ which is what I’m hoping for. I want it to be good for them.” Each bag holds two or three loads of laundry and Campbell encourages her clients to stuff the bags as full as they can. “One customer did seven loads in one bag, it was amazing. I tell them to stuff it as much as you can because I’m going to be doing it anyway, so whatever you can put in there, put in there.” Each day is different, but on Monday she did 10 loads of laun-
dry. And she was more than happy to do so. “I know people need help. Whatever it takes to help them is what I want to do,” she said. “The most rewarding thing is helping families get through their week easier and spend more time with their kids.” Though she’s only had the business up and running for three weeks, Campbell said she is already feeling a need to expand by adding more washers and dryers. Though she lives in Atoka, there is no limit to where she will go to help. Most of her customers come from the south end of the county and she hopes to also expand into Millington. Campbell is excited to see where the business goes, especially after such a great response during the short time it’s been open. “I’ve always liked doing laundry. I’m strange! It’s kind of a soothing thing for me. My husband says this is the perfect thing for me to do.” For more information, visit The Laundry Room Atoka on Facebook or call 901- 409-3112.

By the spring season, iPads will be used as cash registers, allowing an easier means of tracking sales and inventory as well as allowing debit and credit transactions. “These may have a place in the future in police cars, fire vehicles, public works vehicles,” Koral said. “We kind of pushed them out there to say, ‘Here’s a tool, here’s some base use information, play with it, see how it can be incorporated into what you do.’” The Town of Atoka is currently the only municipality issuing

iPads to its employees. Koral said while each town is run differently, he believes embracing technology and putting it to use is beneficial for Atoka. “I think there are a lot of ways technology can
be a benefit. It is, by no means, to be bleeding edge with technology, but I think 94 percent of Fortune 500 companies are using iPads, and there’s a reason that’s happening. They’re finding efficiency, they’re
finding new ways to enhance their business and serve their customers. I think we can find ways to do that and work more efficiently, that’s just good management.”

FLASHBACK
LETTER TO THE EDITOR America, a ship I sometimes see America as a large ship on the open seas. The keel is the ship’s backbone and represents our faith in God. The compass is the Holy Bible; the map is our Constitution. Our destination is due-east toward everlasting light. Our precious cargo is our God-given rights protected by the Constitution. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are guaranteed to each passenger. Our ship is powered by the engines of free-enterprise using the fuel produced by ambitious individuals accepting the challenges of private businesses. The ship is steered by the captain, who we the passengers choose every four years to be at the helm. We trust him to maintain the eastbound voyage with minimum variation. This trust has been violated. President Obama, our current helmsman has ignored the compass and the map and is steering us into stormy waters. At this time threatening clouds from the United Nations are attempting to alter our course. If rains and high waves from these clouds stain our Constitution it will become irrelevant and will be replaced by world treaties. We are being promised comfort and security in exchange for liberty. We the passengers own this ship and its precious cargo. We have a choice to determine the direction it takes. This coming Nov. 6, 2012, will be a historical, pivotal election day. The choice could not be more clear. We can choose to A) accept socialism and surrender our God-given rights or B) honor our forefathers and deliver the precious cargo of liberty to our grandchildren. Option B requires action. We must replace the helmsman and return our ship to its original course. It takes miles to turn a ship at sea. Four more years of dangerous, misdirected, unpatriotic leadership will cause our future to be determined by third world countries via the United Nations. So while our keel is still intact let’s get off the poopdeck, check the heavens for direction and vote very, very wisely. Bill Wallace, Covington

In my upbringing we had two books that had their special places. Of course, the most important was the Holy Bible, which still has all the answers. The other was the Farmer’s Almanac with some pretty good answers too. Sad to say, but I reckon neither get used as much as they should nowadays---GLORY!!!!!

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT
Haunted Theatre production returns to Ruffin next month
FAMILY REUNION
By JESSICA COOKE jcooke@covingtonleader.com As the Halloween season approaches, exciting things are happening at the Historic Ruffin Theatre on the square. The Tipton Arts Council has been producing family-friendly entertainment in Tipton County for decades, and director Sherri Onorati is excited to announce that the upcoming Haunted Theatre production will live up to these standards. “I love Halloween, just the dressing up and the atmosphere,” Onorati said, going on to describe her love of haunted houses. “A lot of people think [the theater] is haunted anyway, so it’s just the thought of being here, in the dark, at night.” Guests can expect to be led on a delightfully scary walkthrough of the theatre involving usual Halloween spooks as well as imagination, sensory stimulation and fear of the unknown. Onorati also hinted with a grin that this year’s production will be based on a very specific monster genre. She said, however, that because the Ruffin is a family-friendly place, she and her crew are sensitive to families who wish to bring their young children. “We had five and six year olds last time and they did okay. But it will be scary.” Planning for the production is still in its early stages, and volunteers from the community are welcomed to join Onorati. She stated her need for crew members and actors, as well as props and building materials. “As a nonprofit, we don’t have a lot of funds to spend on it,” she said, mentioning specific items needed such as PVC pipes, Styrofoam, and lumber. The last Haunted Theatre production was in
CULLUM FAMILY REUNITES
On June 24, more than 90 members of the Cullum family attended a reunion. Family members say more than 100 gifts for winners of Bingo, horseshoes and tennis games were given. Papa Cullum's Commandments include: 1. Be a man, take responsibility, be as good as your word. 2. Take care of what you have. 3. It doesn't make any difference what you make, it's the way in which you use it. 4. He would say to me, "If you make 25 cents, you save 15 cents of it." 5. He would always say, "Hold your shoulders up, don't slump." 6. Walk straight. 7. Pick up your feet, don't slide your feet, that's the sign of being lazy. 8. The mouth can be more deadly than a smoking gun. 9.Years ago, before our old house burned, Papa would say, "The war is getting my boys and the Ballards, my girls." 10. Always have respect for yourself and others and be an honest person.
Onorati shows off her favorite prop, an elaborate guillotine complete with moving parts, in the theatre’s basement. Photo by Jessica Cooke 2009, and was well-received in the public, Onorati said. “We had adults crying, kids screaming, it was really, really fun. It was really exciting.

The Civil War and Tipton County: July 1862 Compiled by Russell B. Bailey, Tipton County Historian C. S. S. ARKANSAS Citizens from several states and localities contributed to the brief but heroic record of the Confederate gunboat Arkansas. Construction began in Memphis in late 1861. Within less than a year she was towed to Greenwood on the Mississippi and following a brief stay there she was guided to the Yazoo. For six humid weeks, 200 carpenters and mechanics labored on the craft in 12-hour shifts night and day. On July 14, 1862 at Yazoo City, the Arkansas became a “homemade” ironclad warship. The Arkansas’ 10gun battery included two cannon from the Randolph fortifications where the gunboats Livingston and Polk were stationed in May. (Cannon from the ships were mounted in the shore batteries.) When Pillow was evacuated, Captain R. F. Pinkney left Randolph in haste, leaving all but two of the cannon. Two 8-inch Columbiads were loaded onto the Polk and carried to Liverpool Landing south of Yazoo City. Most certainly these two cannon

Hi everyone. Thanks for the votes you cast for me last week. I sincerely appreciate it. It seems we might soon be switching our thermostats from cool to heat, at night time of course. Or a great possibility it's teasing us, like everything else in America. I was unable to attend Munford Celebrate and I really hate it. I heard it was very nice. My friend Anna Kiss and I finally had our girls shopping day out. I'm so happy she could go. She's had a lot of health issues going on. We also were able to catch up on everything. We shared our coupons and thanks to Irene Parker as she gave us hers. My daughter, Terri Ann Barber from Centerville, Tenn., was down for a couple of days. It's always so nice to see the two of them and the fun they have together. She and Sherri Ann did a lot of laughing . Good memories. I remember those sounds from years ago. Charlie's doctor will let him know on the 26th of this month what day is second thyroid surgery will be. Salem Presbyterian Church Worship is at 11 each Sunday morning. Rev. Charles Todd is the min-
were the Columbiads placed in the forward battery of the Arkansas; six cannon came from Memphis and a 32-pounder probably taken from the Van Dorn, accounted for nine of the Arkansas’ cannon. The crew of the Arkansas was augmented by 60 of Gen. Jeff Thompson’s Missourians and some Louisiana infantry. More than a hundred of the officers, gunners and seamen of the Arkansas had served on the gunboats’ Livingston and Polk from New Orleans to Columbus, Ky., Tiptonville and Randolph. (Pinkney ordered the destruction of these boats to prevent their capture in June.) Two men from the Polk and now on the Arkansas, were gun Captain Robert McCalla and ordinary Seaman Arnold Becker. Both would serve with distinction before the war's end.
Tipton County’s most significant contribution to the Arkansas was her commanding officer, Lieutenant Isaac N. Brown. Although a native of Kentucky, Isaac’s formative years were spent at Oak Grove, Covington and Mt. Carmel. Isaac was a son of Presbyterian Minister Samuel Brown and his wife Susan Miller. Mrs. Susan Brown became a charter member of the Covington Presbyterian Church in 1829. “His father was among the earliest settlers of Tipton County and resided on what is known as the Dr. Walton place, on the Randolph road, five miles west of Covington.” One of Isaac’s sisters married yankee-born, Yale graduate Addison White who was Mayor of Covington. Isaac attended the Mountain Academy before receiving an appointment as Midship-
ister. Young marrieds will meet on Sunday, Sept. 23, at the Pattons. Our Wednesday night suppers will begin Sept. 26. Happy birthdays this week go to Annie Miller, Catherine Baum, Hunter McDivitt, Lyndsey Sterling, John Baum, Ginny Kidwell and Dan Miller. Hope they are each the greatest! Sharon Presbyterian Church Worship is at 9 a.m. Rev. Charles Todd is the minister. We welcome all visitors, friends and members. Please continue to remember Raymond Griffin as his health has not improved. Also Mary Kirk, Lorrie Martin, Mary Moffatt, Edgar Moses, Danny Salmon, Marvin Turnage and Louise Gumpton. We are always thankful for our Dunlap residents that are able to come. Covington Church of Christ Worship is at 8:45 a.m. and again at 11 each Sunday morning. Bible study is at 10 on Sunday morning and again on Wednesdy evening at 7. Brother Mike Rogers is our minister and Brother Jeff Phillips our associate minister. There was a baby shower for Whitney Conner this past Sunday. Our Family Day will be Sunday, Sept.30. The guest speaker will be Mark Blackwelder. The clothing give a
way will be Sat, Oct. 20, 2012. Please continue to remember the many on our prayer list. At this time please remember Pat Gatlin in the passing of her mother, Lucille White. Also our military from our church family listed below: Seth Kello, Brittany Sallee, Deann Carter, Jessica Whaley, Bradly Evins, Tanner Mason, Scott E. Moore, Nic Hunter, Michael J. Pena and Heather Pena. Special contribution to the building fund on Sunday, Sept. 23. Happy birthdays this week go to Ashley Bringle, Preston Stanley, Chloe Coughlan, Hope Collens, Shirley Cook, Lisa Pinner, Michelle Laxton and Brandon Matlock. Hope they are each the greatest! In closing, my grandson, Matt Scott played baseball all weekend at Austin Peay college. He is being looked at from other colleges as well for baseball scholarships. Hope your week will be a happy one, and try and stay well and get that exercising in, in some way, shape, form or fashion. In closing, please continue to remember in your prayers all of our military here and abroad, as well as the many veterans we now have stateside. I'm sure you already have our country in your prayers. Please continue and have a great week.

man in the U. S. Navy on March 15, 1834. Brown’s 27-year career in the Navy was distinguished: service in the Seminole and Mexican Wars; passed his Midshipman’s examination, first in his class at the naval school at Philadelphia July 6, 1840 and promoted Lieutenant; in charge of the Memphis Navy Yard in 1854; sailed around the world twice; assisted in the first attempt to lay the Atlantic cable; and was the Executive officer of the ship that returned to their homes the first Japanese Embassy to the United States. In 1861, Brown was appointed a Confederate naval lieutenant and assigned to duty in the defenses of the Mississippi River. In late May 1862, Brown was ordered to complete the construction of the Arkansas and assume command of the warship. On July 14th,
Lieutenant Brown and the Arkansas started out of the Yazoo to engage the 39 Union men-of-war that he knew were in the vicinity of Vicksburg.

Hello My Friends,I have come to a conclusion!!! If I were to keep my grandchildren everyday, I would never get anything accomplished!! They are so much fun. Of course, today being my birthday, and it was raining, I did absolutely nothing except what I wanted to do. Ruby Kate and I ate, played on the floor with her toys, and napped. All day long. Now, if the twins and Sloane were here, along with the boys and Aly, we would have done the exact same thing other than order pizza out maybe. I think I am just loving the grandma thing. We had a rather crazy week, last week though. Neal is still having problems with the asthma-bronchitis issue. He had the flushing procedure done and is still

I was going to write the column last night but hearing about John Tom Williams' accidental death took the wind out of my sails. Only God knows why he was taken from us, a fine man, one year behind me in school. His daughter, Lauren, is marrying Logan Wall on October 13th. I am so sorry for Eva Dale, Barton, Allen, and Lauren - they are in my prayers. My most sincere sympathy goes to his parents, Jerry and Nell Williams, and to his brother, Larry and his family. We got about a half inch of rain Sunday night and yesterday. It's very windy right now and supposed to be in the 40's tomorrow morning! Bring it on! Ready for Fall to arrive on Saturday! This week's Farm Report: Beans are turning yellow. Cotton is being picked in some places. A little corn remains in fields around the county. Farmers will really get busy when it gets dry from this rain! We're looking at maybe the end of next week for our beans. I took a little mini-vacation last week before harvest starts. Went to Knoxville with Justin, Elizabeth and Lyla for the U-T/Florida game. We left on Thursday, got to the room and ordered pizza and stayed in. Friday we got up and drove to Gatlinburg and over to the North Carolina/ Tennessee border sign and took pictures. Too "smoky" to spend time going to the Dome. There was a hot rod show going on there and every parking lot was lined up SEE CARMEL, PAGE A10

suffering with the allergies and infection. Then he had a wreck on Brighton Clopton Saturday afternoon. Seems so many people refuse to slow down in the curves so that staying on their side of the road becomes easier. No, continuing along the same speed would be more likely to some folks. This keeps the vision of oncoming traffic out of view and makes it more probable to be in the other persons lane. So it was with Neal. So to avoid hitting the other person who happened to be in a late model car, he goes opposite and ends up in a ditch hitting a guide wire. Needless to say that if he had hit the other person in the Big Bad Green Machine (Ford f250) he would have seriously hurt them. The other car didn't stop but Neal is going to be fine. Staci took him to the ER for most of the night and they did lots
of tests to make sure he had a hard head!! Nice black eye and very sore. We are also going to be grandparents again!! Little Miss Danielle and hubby Paul decided to go ahead and start this. They were suppose to wait until he sold the business and move back. Neal and I have yet to be present when she delivers a baby. So if anyone wants to move to Hawaii and purchase a business repairing appliances, we can hook you up. The baby will be due May 1st. So the sooner the better. I will be going to visit on the 29th for a week and I am going to be questioning everyone over there to buy. Jackson and Riggs are on fall break so I'm really getting excited.

He was well liked and loved by many as well as his family. Also continued prayers for James Boyd, Charlie Moss, Staci Sullivan,and Valerie Vandergrift Carver.

a strange mixture of plant nurseryman, herb doctor, minor military hero and religious enthusiast. At the beginning of the 1800, he appeared along the Ohio River and became known to his frontier neighbors as "Johnny Apple Seed" because of the ardent way he distributed apple seeds and sprouts in central and northern Ohio. Accepted almost any object or money or amount of money in payment for seeds and sprouts.
Chapman was also religious and he preached the teaching of Emmanuel Swedenborg with force. To the Ohio frontiersman he seemed like an American version of Hebrew prophet wondering in the wilderness. He continued the service of a herb doctor an botanist with the religious sayings. His apple trees strengthened the company of the rich farming areas of northern Ohio and Indiana. AMEN."
I cut an apple in half to show the children what the apple seed looks like and they all new you could not eat the seeds. I took a big red basket of red and yellow apples from our trees in the back yard and put then on the alter. Each child took an apple home with them. We have been giving apples to anyone who wants to come and pick them. I might just become Tula Starr Appleseed.

Your final years in life could be the most costly By DEREK E. BALTIMORE Senior Consulting Financial Group, Inc.
The study highlights a misconception about Medicare by these same pre-retirees. Namely, that the program covers most health-care expenditures. Medicare doesn’t cover a number of services that many seniors need, including most eyeglasses, hearing aids, home-care services and equipment, and non rehabilitative nursinghome care.
Many retirees or soon to be retirees now realize that medical bills can put a strain on saved money earmarked for retirement; but a new study shows the costs - particularly in the final years of life - are bigger than most anticipate and could The last item in particuprove to the the proverlarly worrisome.

ing 3.65 million people each and every year to the Medicare role books for the next 18 years - It is no wonder that the system will be drained COMPLETELY dry by 2024, as indicated by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. Medicare trustees added that 48.7 million Americans are now covered by Medicare. In all, about 300,000 people are added to the program’s rolls each month. Really, when you boil it all down, it comes to people saying they have paid in their share and are deserving or entitled. “We have paid, and we are due our benefits”. What they fail to see is that we are on an unsustainable course; and despite burying our heads in the sand - the train wreck is still coming. We need leadership that will create a plan to solve this mess we are in : no matter WHO caused it; and to develop a strategy to dig our way out. The first rule of holes: If you are in one, STOP digging. As always, I welcome your comments at dbaltimore@scfginc.net or via our website at www.scfginc.net or via telephone at 901-389-7258.

FRIDAY FOOTBALL: MEMPHIS NORTHSIDE @ MUNFORD • BRIGHTON @ MILLINGTON • FACS @ TIPTON-ROSEMARK
Huge White night White sets record as Chargers pummel Cavaliers By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com A game that started like a track meet turned into a series of sprints for Covington’s Johnston White as he piled up 401 rushing yards and five touchdowns as the Chargers remained undefeated following a 49-20 demolition of Crockett County on Friday at Covington Athletic Field. The 401-yard total establishes a new single-game school record, eclipsing teammate Carlos Williams’ record of 381 yards set against Obion County in 2010. The yardage total ties White for eighth place on the TSSAA all-time single game rushing list. The state record is 503 yards. “We played well on both sides of the ball,” said Charger head coach Marty Wheeler, whose team moved to 5-0 overall and 2-0 in District 13-AA. “Our tackling and pursuit have improved on the defensive side. Offensively, we are blocking better on the offensive line and are playing with more consistent effort. Just look at what Johnston was able to accomplish. He is a special player who plays every snap on both sides of the ball.” Overall, the Charger offense worked to near perfection, posting seven touchdowns in 10 possessions, while the defense pounded Crockett’s quarterback with three sacks and multiple hits and knockdowns. The starting defensive 11 held Crockett County (4-1, 2-1) to just 17 yards rushing. Two passes from Donovan Mayfield to Terry Beaird and Josh Tatum on the opening possession of the game moved the Cavaliers from their 23-yard line to the Charger two, where they set up first and goal. They would get to the one, but no further. White went 87 yards from the Charger nine to the Crockett five on the second play from scrimmage and punched in the first of his five touchdowns on the night from three yards out two plays later. Bobby Van Cleve remained perfect for the season adding the PAT, the first of seven in the game. Crockett answered, returning the ensuing kick-off to the Covington two-yard line. From there they punched it in on a plunge by Tatum. Then came the deluge. The Chargers scored on the next six of their next seven possessions, 4 in the first half and the first two of the second. First it was Aretavious Brown with a 36-yard TD run, folSEE CHARGERS, PAGE A20

More late-game magic Cougars score late, upend Choctaws By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com High drama has been the order of the day lately for the Cougars. One week after scoring a last-second touchdown and two-point conversion to beat Millington, the Cougars pulled off a similar feat Friday night at home against Dyer County in a key District 13-AAA game. After watching a 14-0 halftime lead evaporate, the Cougars got the game winner on a 14-yard touchdown run by senior D'Marious Exum with 22 seconds left in the game to win 28-21. “We have done something the last two weeks that we have not done since I've been at Munford,” said fourth-year head coach Matt Saunders. “We beat Millington and Dyer County. Credit goes to the seniors for stepping up and making the big play when we needed it most.” Munford moved to 3-2 overall and 1-1 in the district, one game behind first-place Jackson North Side, a team they will host Oct. 12. Dyer County fell to 2-3 and 0-2. The game started ominously for Munford. Senior Derek Pierce, the hero in the win over Millington, broke and dislocated his ankle on a first down catch in the first quarter and will miss the rest of the season. “I am especially proud of our seniors for facing adversity when our leader and captain suffered an injury,” Saunders said. “The seniors dedicated the game to Derek and will dedicate the rest of the season to him … This is a lesson to play every down like it's your last.”
Munford's offense got going in the second quarter when Exum, who carried the ball 34 times for 132 yards and two scores, found the end zone on a 27-yard run to put the Cougars ahead 7-0. Later in the quarter a 43-yard pass from Hunter Harden to Antonio Moore pushed the lead to 14-0. Dyer County quarterback Tucker Cozart, who completed 25 of 37 passes for 283 yards, scored on a pair of one-yard runs in the third quarter, the second of which tied the game at 14-14. Munford regained the lead when Hardin (13 of 26 passing, 227 yards) hit Tuner Weston on a 10yard scoring strike.

Brighton, TRA fall in key league games By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Brighton erased an early deficit and nearly came back again after trailing by 17 Friday night at home against Jackson North Side. But in the end, the Indians had too much firepower and outlasted the Cardinals in a key District 13-AAA game, 44-34. Brighton fell to 1-3 overall and 0-1 in the district. North Side moved to 5-0 overall and into first place in the district at 2-0. After Adam Craig hit Chartavious Rivers on a six-yard touchdown pass late in the second quarter, North Side led 31-14. But Brighton answered in the third quarter. Antonio Dickerson, who had a huge game with 217 yards and four touchdowns on 25 carries, scored on runs of two and five yards in the third quarter to trim the lead to 31-28. Craig (20 of 28 passing, 255 yards) threw his fourth touchdown pass of the game later in period and scored on a 19-yard run in the fourth to push the lead 44-28. Dickerson scored on a five-yard run later in the quarter, but Brighton could not get any closer. Craig, who also rushed for 157 yards, scored on a two-yard run in the first quarter to give the Indians a 7-0 lead. Brighton responded in the second quarter with a two-yard touchdown run by Dickerson and 40-yard TD pass from Brady Stewart (24 of 35, 239 yards passing) to Dickerson to take a 14-7 lead. Craig hit Jerry Neylon on a 57-yard touchdown pass and Rivers on a 49-yarder in the second quarter. Neylon led North Side with 137 yards on nine catches. Artez Harris caught nine balls for Brighton for 113 yards.

White scored from 44-yards out to open the third period, pushing the lead to 42-7. White added a 60-yard TD run to close the Charger’s scoring with 1:31 left in the third. Covington put up 561 total yards of offense, including 510 on the ground. Crockett netted 216 yards (98 rushing, 118 passing). “I was really pleased with the defensive performance,” Wheeler said. “They made a huge stop early on and kept it up. Daiquon, Johnston and Jadarius Temple all had big QB sacks and we played with emotion. We still had too many silly penalties, but that is improving as well.”

Church Bulletins Church bulletins, the section where we will share news briefs and church-related events, will run when space is available. To submit something to this section, call Echo Day at 901-4767116 or send an email to eday@covingtonleader.com. September 29 Mt.

morality of the transaction. Abortion should be illegal for the same reason. The arguments we hear are all about the most extreme of cases, therefore, in the minds of many justifying the medical procedure called abortion. The ugly truth, however, is that we have killed nearly 60 million unborn babies and many of them were killed merely because of inconvenience. How can a believer in Jesus Christ ignore that when he votes? The secular and the spiritual are not two spheres in the life of the believer. There is only one sphere and to the Christian everything is spiritual. There is a move today to silence the pulpits of America on moral issues because they also happen to be political. God’s men should be thundering out from the sacred desk the truths of Holy Writ and doing so without fear. There has never been a time when standing against the wickedness of men was comfortable. It is still the right thing to do. May God help us not to separate the supposedly secular from the faith which we claim to hold. Freeman Weems is the pastor of First Baptist Church Atoka. The church is located at 102 Kimbrough Drive, Atoka.

A few moments with God And out of pity for him, the lord of that slave released him and forgave him the debt. (Matthew 18:27 NRSV) The gentle actress, Audrey Hepburn, was a great star for many years. Ask her about her most important work and she will tell you it is traveling throughout the world as a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF. "If my fame as an artist helps me get people to listen," she says, "I want to tell them that if a family gets a shovel, which UNICEF provides in its programs, they should use it to dig a well or cultivate the land-and not to dig the graves of their children." You see, Audrey Hepburn knows about starving children. She once was one of them. As a youngster in Europe during World War II, she and her family endured years of hunger and, toward the end, near-starvation. "Immediately after the war," she recalls, "an organization was formed that gave us food, medicine, and clothing. That organization later became the United Nations Children's Fund [UNICEF]." Today Hepburn is repaying a debt in the name of God. Jesus paid a great debt for each one of us. How are we repaying it? Loving God, thank you for sending Jesus to pay my debt. May I honor that debt by repaying it by giving and sharing your gifts of love. In Jesus' name, Amen. Ron Newhouse www.devotions.net

By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com The Covington Lady Chargers soccer team traveled to Haywood on Sept. 11 and took down the Lady Tomcats by a score of 3-2. Anne Marie Van Cleve scored twice and Jasmine Brown struck the game winner with eight minutes remaining. “The score is not a good indicator, but we moved the ball better in this game than we have all season,” Covington coach Robert Luttrell said. “The scores just didn’t fall in for us.” On the road at Dyersburg on Sept. 17, the Lady Chargers fell victim to the Lady Trojans by a score of 3-2 in overtime. Van Cleve and J’La Brandon each scored in regulation. Dyersburg sewed up the game with a goal eight minutes into the first overtime. “Dyersburg has held on to the top seed in our district for the past four years,” said Luttrell. “We fought hard all night. Credit goes to Callie McDaniel and J’La for their tough defensive performance. I was pleased with our overall effort in this heartbreaking loss.”

The Covington FFA recently competed in the 2012 Tennessee State Dairy Foods Contest held at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds in Nashville. This competition requires the student to learn about many different milk flavors, such as the following: acid, bitter, feed, flat, garlic, malty, oxidized, rancid, salty, and no defects. The student also has to learn about the different fat contents that are in dairy products, such as nonfat milk, reduced fat milk, milk, Half & Half, coffee cream, and whipping cream. The student also has to study for a dairy foods test which consists of all phases of the dairy foods industry, and the student also has to identify many different types of cheeses, such as the following: bleu, brick, brie, mild and sharp cheddar, cream, edam, monterey jack, mozzarella, neufchatel, parmesan, processed American, provolone, and swiss. The team did extremely well, as they first in the district, first in West Tennessee, and third in the state out of thirty-three teams. Kate Armstrong was the 4th high individual in the entire state contest and Sam Wauford was the 7th high individual for the entire state contest.

UT announces farm credit scholars The College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources at the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture is pleased to announce that the first five recipients of a prestigious scholars program have been selected. Earlier this year, the UT Institute of Agriculture and Farm Credit Mid-America unveiled a scholarship program that would select the best and brightest students from across Tennessee and the nation. Known as Farm Credit Scholars, the students will enter specialized curricula that include customized coursework, an international experience, mentoring opportunities and a Farm Credit internship. Students may enter the Farm Credit Scholars program in his or her freshman year. They may renew the scholarships for a total of four years of study, provided they meet the requirements from the previous year. The first group of Farm Credit Scholars includes Ashlee Ailshie, a junior from Columbia, Tenn., majoring in Food and Agricultural Business; Erin Brinkley, sophomore from Gray, Tenn., majoring in Agricultural Education; Forrest Duncan, a freshman from Decherd, Tenn., majoring in Food and Agricultural Business; Peyton Graham, a Junior from Munford, Tenn., majoring in Food and Agricultural Business; and Billy Rochelle, a freshman from Nunnelly, Tenn., majoring in Food and Agricultural Business. “Farm Credit saw the need to attract a high caliber of student and with this initial group of Farm Credit Scholars, the program is off to a very successful start,” said Dr. Larry Arrington, UT Institute of Agriculture chancellor. “This scholarship opportunity will provide students with a strong foundation in all aspects of agribusiness and will help them face the future challenges that will help keep us competitive in a global economy.” Each Farm Credit Scholar faces a very rigorous selection process. During their time as a Farm Credit Scholar, the students take courses in agricultural law; finance, policy and sales; rural development; leadership; and production agriculture. In addition, students are required to complete a research project with written and oral reports to Farm Credit leadership, students and faculty. According to Dr. John Riley, the program’s coordinator, this initial group of Farm Credit Scholars met the challenge. “We had excellent applications this year. The scholars selected will have the opportunity to learn more about agricultural finance through their internships at Farm Credit Services, classroom experience and other activities related to the financing of farms and agribusinesses. The support of Farm Credit is very much appreciated,” he said. “The world faces a critical need for agriculture majors and the future job market is tremendously strong,” said Dr. Caula Beyl, dean of the UT College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. “They’re exciting careers because you know that you’re fulfilling something that is very important. By 2050, the world’s population is estimated to be nine billion people, if not more. As long as people need food, fiber and fuel, agricultural careers are going to be in the forefront.” “We’re looking for the brightest and most exceptional students across all segments of agriculture,” explained David Lynn, Farm Credit senior vice president of financial services. “We are structuring this program to be very open. The majority of scholars may come from the agricultural economics and agricultural business curricula, but we want the program to be available to other exceptional students in the UT College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. We want these students to become valuable contributors to their communities and to agriculture.” The college offers diverse areas of study including, agricultural and resource economics; agricultural leadership, education, and communications; animal science; biosystems engineering and soil science; entomology and plant pathology; food science and technology; forestry, wildlife, and fisheries; and plant sciences. “This first group of Farm Credit Scholars is about to embark on an exciting and fulfilling journey, and our partnership with Farm Credit has made this possible,” said Arrington. “I hope these students will experience a lifetime of fulfillment in one of the most noble professions I know.”
