REMINDER: Atoka and Munford will trick-or-treat on Saturday, Brighton and Covington will trick-or-treat on Sunday

MHS band wins 12th Bandmasters By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com The Munford High School marching band won the Bandmasters Championship this weekend at the University of Memphis, logging a record dozen wins. Originally known as The Mid-South Invitational, The Bandmasters Championship began in 1963. In the 1990s the Band Alumni Chapter took on the responsibility of the event, which has hosted marching bands from Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas and Missouri. Munford’s program this

year is called “Revolution and Triumph” and features compositions which signify American history since the 1776 revolution. Band director Barry Trobaugh said the music signifies the struggle with the British and leads into present day with snippets of the Star-Spangled Banner mixed in. “And out of nowhere we form a star,” he said. “The audience loves it.” Trobaugh said he is very pleased with how his band performed this season. “We have 60 new faces and there was a lot of teaching and a SEE WIN ON PAGE A2

Congressional race hits close to home By TIFFANY HOLLAND tholland@covingtonleader.com There are four candidates in the Congressional House race for District 8 and all of them have deep West Tennessee roots, but one of them is from Tipton County. Computer consultant Donn Janes has lived in Brighton for seven years and his children all attended Brighton schools. After running in the Republican primary and losing to Stephen Fincher, he decided to run as an independent. “I felt it was right,” said Janes. “I prayed about it and talked to my wife about it and I decided that I should run as an independent.” While independents are rare to win a congressional race, which tend to be dominated by the two parties, this is not stopping Janes. He is still making phone calls, knocking on doors and “gaining ground” everywhere in the district. He aligns himself with the beliefs of the Tea Party and refers to himself as a true conservative, even more than the Republican candidate. “He doesn’t represent conservative principles,” said Janes in reference to Fincher. “He won’t debate and he says he is against government spending, but he has taken farm subsidies his whole life.”

Early voting ends on Thursday, Oct. 28. Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 2. Please see page B8 for sample ballot and check www.covingtonleader.com/ election for results on Tuesday night.

On another candidate, Democrat Roy Herron, Janes said that he had more similarities with Herron, but believes that Herron will go along with the status quo in Congress, which is what has caused a great deal of problems in Janes’s opinion. Herron, like Janes, has spoken out against Fincher’s farming subsidies, refusal to debate and his questionable reports to the Federal Election Commission. A lawyer and former preacher from Dresden, Herron is currently a state senator who is running with a focus on jobs and economic growth symbolized in his repeated references of his old red truck that he always drives around in. He has also stated that he would not go along with Pelosi or vote for her as speaker if elected. Fincher, a farmer and gospel singer from Frog Jump, has remained relatively quiet with the media and in response to

his attacks. However, he is out campaigning and greeting voters without discouragement. He has labeled himself as a conservative man who will go against the current administration. He has no political experience, but is using this to show that he is a true man of the people and not a career politician. A press release from the Fincher campaign also states that he has an early lead from a poll they conducted. While Janes might have local support, it is Herron and Fincher who have the big endorsements, mostly since they are from a major party. Current District 8 Congressman John Tanner and the National Rifle Association recently endorsed Herron. President Ronald Reagan’s son, Michael, and most organizations in the pro-life movement have endorsed Fincher, just for example. The District 8 race is very heated, but while Fincher and Herron go back-and-forth about red trucks, gospel singing, FEC violations and the Nancy Pelosi agenda, Janes slowly and steadily chips away at the vote. Tipton County voters have a chance to vote for one of these three candidates or Independent Mark Rawles from Jackson during early voting which ends on Thursday, Oct. 28. The official Election Day is on Nov. 2.

he City of Covington and the Town of Brighton are expected to receive $500,000 each in Community Development Block Grants after approval from Governor Pil Bredesen and Community Development Commissioner Matt Kisber according to a press release on Oct. 20 from the Economic and Community Development Department. Covington’s grant will go to assisting the infrastructure improvements to the city’s sewer system. Funding for the $599,500 project will include $99,500 in local funds. Brighton’s grant will go to rehabilitate 12 homes in the town. The grant dollars were provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and were allocated under a procedure authorized by the Tennessee General Assembly. “These grants are essential to the growth and maintenance of the infrastructure that attracts new jobs and other investments that help Tennessee communities thrive,” said Governor Bredesen. “I’m pleased the state of Tennessee is able to assist and our partnership with our communities continues.” The grants were both approved following individual applications by the City of Covington and the Town of Brighton and has the support of Covington Mayor David Gordon, Brighton Mayor Jeff Scott, SEE GRANTS ON PAGE A3

Rain falls again over Mid-South By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com The Mid-South went more than two months without significant rainfall – a dry spell that ended this weekend with more than two inches of rain. Action News 5 meteorologist Ron Childers said an estimated 2.33 inches of rain fell in the area from Sunday to Tuesday, but year-to-date precipitation totals still have the MidSouth 3.71 inches below average. In 2010, the weather has been unusual, from blistering cold temperatures and above average snowfall to a thousand-year Carter and Jaycie Coltrane, chilof Gene and Bonnie Coltrane flooding event, heat dren of Brighton, play in the rain wave and drought.

It is the twelfth championship for the school. “To even compete there is a great honor,” Trobaugh said. “To go and win one year is great, much less four in a row and 12 total.” This year’s competition featured performances by 28 bands, also including Brighton High School. “We’re very happy with our performance at Bandmasters,”

said BHS band director Jonathan Findley. “Our goal is to entertain and bring halftime back to the audience.” Performing funk classics like “Brickhouse,” “Rollercoaster” and “Car Wash,” the band, said Findley, is playing selections familiar to the parents of the football players. “They’re playing titles that are more familiar to the crowd but are still musically effective,” Findley said. “They’re pulling off difficult literature, which is beneficial to the student and entertaining to the crowd.” Though the band has come in

first place in three out of five of its competitions this year, the marching Cardinals received an excellent rating at Bandmasters, coming in 15th place. “We’re disappointed, but overall we did really well.” Both bands have one more scheduled performance before the end of the 2010 marching season. Munford will compete at states this weekend in Jefferson City and Brighton will be performing during the Covington Veterans Day parade on Nov. 11.

Friends, family want answers in post office shootings By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com

It’s been more than a week since two postal workers were killed inside the Henning Post Office and family and friends are still hoping clues to the persons responsible. Paula Croom Robinson, 33, and her co-worker Judy Spray, 59, were shot to death just before 9 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 18. Robinson, who was married and had two children and a stepdaughter, was a graduate of Covington High School and lived off of Bride Road. Family, friends and classmates are unnerved with her killer still on the loose. “Man it felt like it was senseless, it’s like, when will this ever end?,” said Royal Smith Jr. “It hurts.” Robinson, who graduated high school in 1995, was remembered by her classmates as being a happy woman, a loving mother and for having an infectious smile. “She loved her family, friends, was a great mother, the rock for her family,” said longtime friend of the family Marcus Heaston. “She had nieces attending CHS. She would come up and check on them; for senior pictures she would always be the one to apply their makeup. The lasting memory is just a loving mother – loving her kids, full of energy and loving her family.” Classmate Danielle Wheeler said she wants justice served. “She was just a sassy

girl with a beautiful smile and very contagious,” Wheeler said. “There’s nothing we can do to bring Paula back, but just knowing they’ve caught someone will make it better.” An active investigation was launched immediately after Robinson and Spray were found with more than 60 law enforcement officers from across the county committed to finding the person or persons responsible for the murders, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service said last week. Neither a motive for the killings, nor information about possible suspects, has been released by investigators, but persons with information are encouraged to call with any information which might lead to an arrest. Making headlines across the country, investigators initially released a description of a vehicle believed to be involved in the double murder, however that description was later rescinded. The initial reward for information was $25,000 and doubled Tuesday night as law enforcement works diligently to solve the case. The reward may also be payable for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any person who was an accessory to the murder, conspired to commit the murder or any person who has received or possessing any unlawful possession of any property secured during the crime. The public is urged to call the U.S. Postal Inspection Service at

1-877-876-2455 or the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Hotline at 1-800-TBI-FIND (8243463). All information will be kept strictly confidential. Pro Line Paint Systems, with whom Robinson’s husband Michael is employed, has set up a memorial fund at Trust Company Bank, located at 1270 Old Hwy. 51 South in Brighton. Checks may be payable to the Paula Robinson Memorial Fund. The Covington High School Class of 1995 has set up a fund for the Robinson family. To donate, contact Danielle Wheeler at the Tipton County Clerk’s Office or Covington High School at 901-475-5850. Both Robinson and Spray were laid to rest on Saturday, Oct. 23.

Printing continues at Leader facility Changes in store for Christmas parade By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com

The Leader has been the sole newspaper for Tipton County for more than 120 years. In 2003, newspaper printing ceased as options became more available at another printing facility. As a result, employees at The Leader office were able to divert more of their attention to the ongoing services offered in the print shop, Leader Printing. Between its employees, commercial printing manager Shane Waits and pressman Richard White proudly utilize 64 years of printing experience to ensure quality and personal service for customers. “People have heard The Leader doesn’t print here anymore and that’s true,� said Leader publisher Brian Blackley. “But The Leader is about the only thing we don’t and can’t print through our print shop, Leader Printing. Our commercial print operation is still strong and competitive. We’re here, locally, and at a time when all of our businesses want folks to shop at home, we’d urge them to start locally for their print work, too. As always, quotes are free, so there’s no real reason not to give us a chance to price printing and we can often get many jobs turned around very quickly.� Some of the more common orders are for business cards, envelopes, stationary, multi-part tickets, bound pads and more, Blackley said, but Leader Printing can also handle pamphlets, posters, magazines, numbered forms and tickets and almost every kind of custom print job that comes along. The shop also maintains a direct mail permit and offers huge discounts through its mail saturation program, he said. “We can send out postcards and pieces up to 5.5 by 8.5 inches for two cents apiece in some cases,� Blackley said. “That’s unheard of. For us to be able to print and deliver four-color pieces for

Leader Printing has been in operation for more than a decade. To get a free quote, call Shane at 901-476-7116 or visit the shop at 2001 Hwy. 51 South in Covington.

12 cents apiece including printing is something no one can touch, especially when postage alone on direct mail costs more than 13 cents per unit.� But, all of these items, Blackley said, can be confusing. The bottom line, he said, is that there’s not much that Leader Printing can’t do. “When I got my first tour of our print shop, I must say, I was amazed at the diversity of the work our print operation can do,� he said. “I was also amazed at how fast we were turning around one-color and two-color print jobs and with how competitive our pricing was. And Shane is very aware that in order to keep customers coming back, there is a standard of quality that must be maintained.� Make no mistake, Leader Printing is not just a small-town print shop. Employees strive to do excellent work for regional customers all over West Tennessee. Waits and White have everything they need at their fingertips in their facility from a 23-by-29-inch press down to 11-by-17-inch duplicators and smaller. These two print specialists vow to do work with customers to meet their unique, custom needs as they come said Waits. “The history of the print industry has always intrigued me. It’s what I’ve done since I graduated high school,� said Waits. “The relationships I have with customers are why I have been here so long. I treat them as personal acquaintances rather than business propositions. I’ve learned so much from it and I will continue to learn

It’s not quite Halloween, but the City of Covington already has plans for this year’s annual Christmas parade and wants the public to start planning, too. These plans include some changes in tradition. The city has announced new rules for the annual parade in the name of safety for residents and their children. Santa Claus, who makes his appearance at the end of the parade, will be the only person allowed to toss or even distribute candy to the crowds. Persons wishing to participate in the annual parade – which will be held at 7 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 13 – must complete an entry for by Dec. 1. The forms, say organizers, can be found at Covington City Hall, the North Fire Station on Tennessee Avenue or on the city’s website, www. covingtontn.com. All entries must be Christmas-related.

OPINION

Thursday, October 28, 2010

www.covingtonleader.com

Make the best of a busy weekend

The questions began in late September, the calls a few weeks later. “When are we trick-or-treating?” you asked. After several weeks’ worth of work by three staff writers, two advertising representatives and a graphic designer, last week we published our second annual Fall Frenzy special section, which just so happened to answer that question. Atoka and Munford are trick-or-treating on Saturday and Covington and Brighton on Sunday, in case you missed this bit of news. Our Fall Frenzy section also covered many other local events taking place between late October and the beginning of December, from trick-or-treating to trunk-or-treats to the trickor-trot, haunted and spooky trails, breast cancer walk, chili cook-off, Christmas open house on the square and the Junior OFF THE RECORD Auxiliary’s Fall Frenzy event, for which the section is named. ECHO D AY By making lists and writing stories on these events, we are distributing information in one compilation to make it easier for our readers to find. And we publish this section to make it easier for individuals planning these events to get the word out. But since this section came out, we’ve heard nothing but complaints. Many people are upset because the south end of the county has chosen to observe Halloween on Saturday. You are angry because trick-or-treating on Saturday cuts into your plans. You are angry because observing the holiday the day before, you say, is asinine. And you are angry because the municipalities have done, you say, a poor job of communicating. Why the change? Munford Mayor Dwayne Cole said the city leaders chose to have children trick-ortreating on Saturday rather than on Sunday to complement, not compete, with the events being held at churches in the area on Sunday night. We have heard, through our Facebook page and emails, that you are angry that this information was not sent to every media outlet in the area, but if you think about it from their perspective, if they had to announce trick-or-treating times and dates for Tipton County, they’d have to do it for every county in the Greater Memphis Area. That’s not an easy task, especially if you want it to be correct. This is another reason you should turn to The Leader, because we specialize in local news and events. And even beyond Halloween, we run community event listings in nearly each and every edition (check page B4 for this week’s listing). If you don’t want to rely on local media for local news, you can always turn to your municipal leaders. These decisions were made during public meetings by the mayors and aldermen in each of these municipalities. And public means just that, the public is invited and encouraged to attend. Municipal leaders are your elected officials, you put them in office and you should be present at these meetings to hold them accountable and keep up with what is going on in your city. At Monday’s meeting in Munford, no residents were in attendance. These types of meetings are exactly where you can exercise your right to free speech. But still, the anger over the observation of Halloween lingers in this county and I believe it to be an unnecessary issue. Who cares if you’ve always trick-or-treated on Halloween night before or if someone else is making a big deal because they think Halloween is evil? It’s just Halloween. It’s really not that big a deal. Look on the bright side: there are so many different events taking place this weekend! I encourage you to make the best of it. It doesn’t matter when you trick-or-treat. You can visit the haunted and spooky trails in Charleston, trick-or-treat on either Saturday or Sunday and visit a trunk-or-treat the other night, go to Atoka’s Safe Night Out or just stay home in protest. But stay out of my way because I have little costumed goblins in tow and we plan on making the most of a weekend full of Halloween events.

Readers' Views Should everyone vote? I feel strongly the need for election reform. Certain aspects of our current system are detrimental to our republic. Choosing our leaders if a serious task and should not be taken lightly. While it is important we focus on the financing of elections by special-interest groups we also need to address the practices of local election commissions and the behaviors of voters. As we monitor the money labor unions and corporations spend to influence the outcome of elections, we need also to help our local election commission maintain order and provide honest results. Through elections, We the People exercise our ownership of the government and We the People need to clean up our act! By our vote we are responsible for the integrity, or the lack thereof, within the leadership of our nation. Voter fraud is evident. Dead people are being registered to vote. Some are even voting more than once.

tions. Untrained volunteers are put in charge of duties unfamiliar to them. Limited funding for location elections commissions does not allow enough training sessions to enhance competence of people who want to help. The major problem, however, is the voter that shows up to exercise his right to vote with little or no information about neither the candidates nor the issues. Between elections he is incognizant of current issues and evolving political activity. But on Election Day he satisfies his task of citizenship by voting for the candidate with the “correct letter” by his name or his vote is discarded to the candidate with the most yard signs. Or worse, he shows up with no opinion at all. If this profile fits you, please do us all a favor and stay home. Yes, the most patriotic thing you can do if you are not adequately informed is to sit out this election. Exercising the right to vote is a two step process; a) make yourself aware of the candidates’ positions on important issues, b) vote your convictions based on this aware-

I want my vote to be cancelled by a responsible voter with an opposing viewpoint, not someone “diddly-bopping” into the precinct armed only with the right to vote. Our present conduction of elections is dangerous to the republic. It will cause E.D. (electile dysfunction) i.e., the 2008 election cycle. If this condition lasts for more than 4 years contact We the People for corrective measures. And volunteer to help our election commission provide a fair and honest election next Tuesday.

Continued from page A4 we needed a law to ensure this right seems ridiculous.

licenses and the tax of firearms and ammunition. They also fail to recognize the fact that our wildlife is a totally renewable resource. In fact, the management of wildlife populations through hunting is a necessary tool, especially with species such as whitetail deer and snow geese. Their damage is immeasurable to agriculture crops and agriculture happens to be the biggest single industry in our area. Early in the twentieth century, we had very, very, low populations of whitetail deer and wild turkeys. Today it has been said that we have more deer than ever

before in history and the restoration of wild turkeys is something to behold. These efforts, it should be pointed out, were financed by the sportsmen of Tennessee and should by all means, be left to be managed by our Wildlife Resources Agency and legal hunting revenues will continue to fund heir management and well being. After considering the above facts, I challenge every voter to vote yes on the hunting amendment on the Nov. ballot. Bob Whitworth Mason

Sportsplex offers fitness classes for everyone By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com “The first wealth is health,” said transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson. That is precisely what the Covington Sportsplex is all about. One of Tipton County’s premier fitness complexes, the Sportsplex offers everything needed for individuals to accomplish their fitness goals and to enjoy the process in the meantime. “From weight machines to fitness classes, we at the Sportsplex are here for those interested in maintain their health,” said fitness coordinator Vicki Lockhart. “Apart from these programs and the amenities at hand, the staff is here as ‘go-to’s’ for all your questions ranging from diets to cardio programs to overall fitness. Among those offered at the Sportsplex, amenities include 25 strength stations along with a dozen cardio machines, which cover basic training. Also, two racquetball courts and a fullsized basketball court provide fun workout sessions along with six cardio classes available to any and all members. If members prefer to exercise with a group, the complex has several aerobic classes from which to choose. From high-impact aerobics classes for advanced students as well as low to no-impact classes for beginners, all classes are led by certified group fitness trainers who take a personal and active interest in helping attendees achieve their fitness goals. The toughest class physically is probably the P90X class taught by Lockhart. “I enjoy teaching this class so much,” said Lockhart. “My greatest joy is seeing the students get the results they’re after and which they worked hard for.”

Her P90X class takes participators on a 13week program through a rigorous workout program. The class takes place from 5:30-6:30 p.m. from Monday to Friday and at 9 a.m. on Saturday mornings. During its six-day-aweek schedule, Lockhart journeys through many different types of strenuous workouts meant to challenge even the most fit. By changing rhythm and routine, muscle groups don’t have a chance to fall into recognized motions which results in maximizing results and getting the most out of your time spent. “You’re not going to find all of this under one roof,” said Lockhart. “Those who participate

in the classes find they are very effective. I just love it when I see them get that tale measure out to see the results.” To be sure, other classes are offered to suit different levels of difficulty. Low-impact classes are readily available to any patrons wanting to engage in less strenuous activity. For instance, Zumba classes are offered in which Latin salsa dancing is combined with kickboxing. Vinyasa Yoga focuses on breathing with movement to stretch and strengthen. Finally, a total body workout using steps, weights and mats within a low-impact cardio format composes the Morning Wake-up class given by Pam Stevens. Other classes includ-

ing Stability Ball with Pam Stevens and Step Aerobics with Angela Johnson give attendees more of a challenge. Also available to patrons are two racquetball courts, a full-size basketball court, free weights, machines and cardio equipment. Locker rooms and showers are available as well as complimentary coffee. Members take strolls or brisk runs through the quaint Nature Trail across the street. Directors say that the fitness program at the Covington Sportsplex is unparalleled anywhere else in Tipton County. Childcare is provided to those with children and the it is open from 6 -9 p.m. For more information, call the Sportsplex at 901-476-3734.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH

Spiritual Food “It was for freedom that Christ has set us free” (Galatians 5:1) Are you in bondage to poverty? Are you in bondage to sickness? Are you in bondage to worry and depression? Are you in bondage to an addiction? – - God wants to set you free from these things. Satan’s desire is to keep us enslaved. He does this by stealing our power. Our power is the Word of God. If Satan can keep us from reading the Bible, then he can keep us from knowing God’s promises to us. Satan steals from us in many ways, but one of the ways is through our tongue (what we speak). The tongue has the power to bless, or it has the power to curse. Most Christians do not realize the power that God has given them. When Jesus died on the Cross He said, “It is finished”. Jesus did all he needed to do when he died on the Cross. When Jesus ascended into heaven He said He must go so that He could send us a helper. He sent the Holy Spirit – - God’s very own Spirit – - to give us POWER! Acts 1:8 states:“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you”. If Christians have power, then why are so many living defeated lives? It is because they have not been taught how to tap into God’s power.We receive power by speaking God’s Word. Words have power. Speaking God’s words have the power to bless where speaking Satan’s words have the power to curse. Proverbs 18: 21 tells us: “The tongue has the power of life and death”. God’s words operate only in faith and Satan’s words operate only in fear. God’s power is activated by faith words. God expects us to confess what we believe. Jesus is not going to speak these words for us, however. He expects us to do it. He gave us the power of the Holy Spirit and he expects us to use it. When you expect Jesus to defeat the enemy in your life, you are asking him to be nailed to the Cross again. He defeated Satan, once and for all!

5010 West Union, Millington, TN 38053 901-872-2264

Sunday School 9:00 am & 10:30 am

We exercise our faith by what we speak. Satan wants to devour God’s people and the only way he can accomplish that is if we allow him. Satan can not devour anyone he pleases. He can only devour those who don’t resist him with faith. Faith activates God’s power as revealed in Romans 10:17 which says: “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God”. Don’t listen to the world. The world will depress you and steal your faith. The world will tell you you’re about to lose your job, or the economy is crumbling, or even your cancer is incurable. Faith is not based on what you see. Faith is based on what you don’t see. Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as: “ . . . the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”. Don’t speak what you see, speak God’s promises! Don’t look to the government to prosper you. The world’s economy does not determine your prosperity, God does! We are not in the world’s economy, but in God’s economy. God wants to prosper you financially. Though some believe that God only wants to prosper us in the next life, that is not what He said: Proverbs 11:31 tells us: “The righteous receive their due on earth”. Also God wants to prosper you physically. God always heals his people! ALWAYS! You may say: “But my mother was a Christian and she died of cancer. But God did not heal her”. YES HE DID. If she was a Christian, through Christ’ sacrifice she received the ultimate healing. God healed her permanently. She will never suffer from cancer again because she is with the Lord. Some may say this answer is a “cop out”. Some may say; “Then every one who dies is healed”. That is Satan’s lie. God only heals His people. If an unbeliever dies of cancer, they will continue suffering from that cancer after death. Satan won’t remove that cancer just because they die. So the next time you speak, remember God’s Word and choose yours carefully. By Kim Brown

ago when, yours truly, Marie Powell, Joann Bell, Annette Burton and Pearl Andrew were then known as, “The Burton Sisters.” With no practice, and at a moment's notice, I believe it's safe to say that we pulled it off! Three people were presented Outstanding Scholastic Involvement Awards, assistant superintendent of Tipton County's Board of Education, Ricky Fayne, Evelena Winfrey-Slone and Stacy Cobbs-Tolbert. Katarene Harber was also recognized for dutiful devoted service to JCHO over the years, with a lovely award. Guest speaker, Joanna Burton from Haywood County spoke beautifully on health. Johnette Yarbrough, daughter of Ina Taylor Yarbrough and the late John Wyatt Yarbrough, former principal at Geo. R. Ellis High School in Munford spoke on “The Educational Family” standing in for County Court Clerk Mary Gaither also of Covington. Ms. Yarbrough works as a clerk in the Tipton County Courthouse. Minister Pearl Andrews showed highlights on 2010 Mom Congress. She

“It was swell. / It was great. / JCHO had the world on a plate!” according to the words from the song, “Everything's Coming Up Roses.” On Saturday evening at The Baker Community Center in Millington, Jamestown Community Health Organization (JCHO) dressed its plate very well. An evening of splendor, or as it was called, “A Night of Elegance” was exactly that. President Jessie Cooke and his hard-working staff pulled out all of the stops and it worked! His lovely wife, Gwen Cooke, along with program coordinator Pam Cobbs Springfield worked their magic. From decorations to dining, it was a fantastic affair. With a short program, a warm welcome by Janet Mosley, and with stand-in emcee, Rev. Lawrence Andrews, assistant pastor of Truth of Faith Church in Ripley who proudly filled in for his brother also from Ripley and pastor of Praise Temple Church of Ripley, Pastor Gary Andrews who arrived just a tad bit later, both young men, did an outstanding job as emcees. Mt. Herman A.M.E.'s Male Chorus performed lovely selections in “His Eye Is on the Sparrow, I Know He Watches Over Me” and “I Have a Savior Who Can.” Also a group from out of the past sang, "We've Come This Far By Faith,” which was their theme song years

both on Saturday evening in Millington and on Sunday morning for church at their younger brother's church, Castalia Baptist Church and pastor Dr. Randolph Meade Walker. Our brother Dave and his wife, Pam Burton, along with her parents, Tommy and Doris Woods, all from Memphis, hosted this family event. After church we all enjoyed a lovely dinner in the private dining room of The Butcher Shop, also in Memphis. Then it was back over to the lovely home of Jeremiah and Cindy Burton of Cordova for dessert and laughter. Our sister, Kimel, now who lives in Michigan, and our brother, Timothy, now in Fayetteville, N.C.,

attended a few days of seminars a few months ago at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., meeting with Secretary of Education, Artie Duncan and mother from across America speaking on the importance of education today. JCHO's photographer, Glenn Baker of Covington and his lovely wife, Linda, supplied the affair with their lovely photographs. Adrian Nathaniel and Jerry Jones from the Munford area supplied the event with a delicious meal which everyone thoroughly enjoyed especially emcee Gary Andrews who just marveled over President Jessie Cooke's homemade carrot cake. All in all “A Night of Elegance” was a huge success. We'll be seeing everyone again next year! Tuesday's missionary meeting at Old Miller's Store was wonderful. President Mary Burton is still saying, there's always plenty of room for more at 5 p.m. each week. Eight of the siblings of the late Nehemiah and Josephine Burton formerly of Jamestown were in hand

Hello friends, How many people have been doing the rain dance? Well thanks to everyone who performed! I've never been so happy for dreary weather in all my days. Even the walkers and joggers don't seem to care. The Brighton band performed well last Saturday at the Band Masters competition. They were awarded the excellent rating but they ROCKED the house with their performance. We are grateful for Mr. Findley and his staff for all their hard work and creativity. This year has been fun. The Brighton football team will travel to Dyer County this Friday. Let's convoy there and support them in the last regular season game. Play-offs are yet to come!

Hello from Burlison. Bad news in Burlison this week, one of ours has been hurt very badly in a terrible accident. Jeff Hicks was injured when cutting a tree that fell on him. The last I heard he was in the MED in critical condition. I have known Jeff for most of my life and I’ve never known him not to have a smile on his face. He’s the kind of person that always makes you feel better whenever he’s around. Please join me in lifting up Jeff and his family in prayer. I also had more bad news last week. Last Thursday afternoon I received a call from a friend in Hardin County. He told me that our hunting cabin had been broken into and that the police had arrested the intruders. Stanley Lawrence and I purchased some land years ago for deer hunting and slowly started building a cabin on the land. Our cabin turned into a two story two bedroom house. Anyway as it turned out both of the people stay-

The Simonton family reunion was held this past Saturday. It was so nice to see so much family. Several years have passed since we had a reunion and we do miss our loved ones that have passed. The eldest Aunt Francis Moore is the last sibling left and it is just hard to believe the years that have gone by. For everyone who organized this family event, thanks so much. Cathy Poteet put together a Simonton cookbook and gave everyone a copy. Her daughter, Stephanie, helped with this task. Speaking of family, Aunt Ardelle wrote this article for 30-something years I believe. Greg was trying to remember just how long she did this and also without the technology of computers and such. Wow... my hat's off. Before Aunt Ardelle, Jenny Lou Wells wrote the Brighton notes. Now for those who don't know or remember her she is Mrs. Louise Vandergrift’s mother, also

ing there were wanted by the police and a bounty hunter had tracked them down to our cabin. The man had just been released from prison after serving one year on a 15year sentence. He wasn’t there when the police arrived but was captured later. The woman, whose stepfather lives up the road from our cabin, was wanted on drug-related charges. They had broken both of the doors and all the wood around one of them where they had kicked it in. Stanley and I went to Savannah last Friday to repair our cabin and press charges against the invaders. We have had the place for so long and I have always felt safe and peaceful there but now I don’t know if I ever will again. You know when someone breaks into your place they take more than the tangible things, they take the trust that you and your loved ones will be safe there from now on. These two people had moved in with their clothes and set up house. Our pictures and furniture had been rearranged. There was a home made weapon hanging over my bed that they were

Hello Dear Readers: Thanks to all who read my articles. Thanks to all who tell me this when I see you. Sometimes I have a hard time getting around to using my computer. We are in the process if changing our phone service and my computer service. When you are retired you are so busy!

There are also generations owning and working in these businesses! What a legacy to our town. Neal and I are going to be grandparents in February to TWINS! Girls, too. Poor C.H. has four females and he has his grandmother, Ruth, better known as Mimi, in their home. He is truly extraordinary. Blessed are we for him and … I forgot his sister, Betsy, lives with them at the moment. Staci told her she couldn't move out because she will need extra hands with the babies and Sloane! Please pray for C.H. He may need some meds to go along with the prayers! Enjoy your week.....Debe

Did you know that the Hatchie River in Tennessee is the longest freeflowing tributary of the lower Mississippi River and contains the largest forested flood plain in Tennessee? The Hatchie’s ecosystem is complex with hardwood, cane brakes, swamps, sloughs, rivers and lakes. These habitats support more than 100 species of fish and 35 species of mussels, with 11 species of catfish, probably more than any other river in North America. The Hatchie has 36 tributaries that help deliver water into it. Speaking of tributaries, did you that the famous statesman Davy Crockett tried to pass a bill that would cut a canal from the Tennessee River to the Hatchie River? If the project had not been stopped because of financial problems that the country was under going at the time, Randolph as well as every other township along its path might have a different story to tell.

hogs were the best ever! This is our annual thing to do. Mark your calendars for this time next year. The following is from Becky Yoder: "The Broken Lawn Mower Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right and the other is usually the husband. When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first: the truck, the car, e-mail, fishing, always something more important to me. "Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point: When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, bushily snipping away

Elaine Watkins • 476-7093 We got rain! We got about an inch of rain Sunday afternoon. We said if it ever rained, it would storm, and we had a little thunder, but later on it's supposed to storm and be very windy tonight and tomorrow. Making up for lost time! I wish we'd gotten this rain sooner for the crops. But that's over with now! Maybe this will be enough moisture for the trees to turn when it's colder this weekend. I've been worried the leaves would just die and fall off. I love a pretty Fall! Speaking of such, when we went on the cruise, it was a fall foliage tour but the trees hadn't turned yet up North and it pretty much looked like it did here when we got home! It was disappointing but we had fun anyway. This was the funniest moment I witnessed: Sometimes at the formal dinner we got more than one "starter", because, for one reason, we could! The shrimp cocktail was very popular but you just got four shrimp, so some would add a fruit plate or salad to their appetizer order. Bonnie Glass did just that and when her fruit plate arrived, she must have still been on her first starter, because our favorite waiter, Louie, set it on the stand behind her. A little later on she

Jeff and Connie Pickard went to Memphis Thursday night to see the Grizzlies play basketball at FedEx Forum on Oct. 14. Happy November birthday to Lori Rose, Tiffany Fort, James Leopard, Done Leopard, Bobby Leopard, Zoe Logan Meredith, Annie Sue Tankersley, and Harley Asberry Migliacco. Opal Murray of Texas is still visiting her daughter and husband, Charlotte and Rev. A.A. Lawrence. The Arkansas Razorbacks lost to Auburn Tigers 65-43 at Auburn in the football game on Oct. 16. John Blyue likes the Razorbacks because he

wondered where her fruit plate was, and her daughter, Karen Wall, pointed it out on the stand. She stood up, got it and gave it to her mother. Louie came back and asked who put the fruit plate on the table. Karen confessed. Louie unbuttoned his vest and handed it to Karen. She put it on, complete with his name plate and he took a seat at the table with us. Following suit, she took the napkin on the table, expertly flipped it open and placed it in his lap. We were all rolling with laughter! The waiters are always exceptional and very entertaining on the cruises, and this year was no exception! Laura Craft and I are trying to get a picture in The Leader this week but if it's too late it will be in next week's. My dad, Kenneth Weir, came over last Tuesday night for chili. It was good to see him again, after the week-long cruise. I just took it easy last week, washing clothes and resting up. We traded cars Saturday, getting rid of the ol' 2001 Jeep. I thought I'd miss it but I love my new maroon Buick! I spent today picking up papers, going to Mary Gaither's office to swap the plates and to Farm Bureau to insure it. I switched the furniture around in the "new

room" (built in 1999!) today in preparation for getting the gas turned on back here tomorrow. I put the couch in front of the wall heater in the summer months so just about everything had to be moved. Good chance to sweep though. Wood floors attract dust bunnies! Kenneth Mason is home recovering from his recent surgery. He will have a skin graft Friday. Hope all goes well with him. Roy Randolph has finished his treatments and is in our prayers for a bright future. Bonnie Holbrook and Hope Collins are in our prayers for broken bones, along with so many more needing prayers, including Heath Billings, Shirley and Eric Jones and Larry Whaley II. Trick or Truck will be Saturday night at Jeff and Christie Coughlan's at 5 p.m. This year we will have a chili cook-off, along with the usual wiener roast, trick or treating and hayride. Always fun! This will be Lyla's first! We are getting ready at the Covington Church of Christ for our annual Friends and Family Day on Nov. 7. Big day! Happy Birthday this week goes to (belated) Bonnie Holbrook on Oct. 16, to Jerry Melton on the 24th, to Coltin Clay and Logan Rimmer on the 26th, to Jeff Phillips on the 30th and to Rachel Nance on Halloween!

Lads to Leaders Registration needs to be in by Nov. 7th! One more quick story (thanks to The Leader for letting me have a long column last week!). Clint had an old pair of waders on the front porch, been there for years, I'm afraid. They had a hole in them but we never got rid of them. When I got back from the cruise I was warned to stay off the front porch, but I had already been out there the day before, putting a "Salem Massachusetts: Come In For a Spell" flag out that I bought at the aforementioned location. A swarm of yellow jackets had built a nest in the waders, all the way to the boots! It matched the camouflage material so well it was hard to see the part of it that was showing. Thousands of the little buggers. We finally found something that got rid of them, but James and Clint both got stung. It was scary and kind of weird and I'm glad they're gone! "Welcome to Mt. Carmel" goes to Ron, Jeni and Lauron Chaney and Al Chaney! What a beautiful house! This week's Farmers Almanac Quote: (For Halloween) "Pumpkins were once thought to cure snakebites". "Thanks for Reading" this week goes to my early-election buddy Mary Ella Watson and to Jen-

used to live in Arkansas. Kathryn Glass, Bobbie Glass, Brenda Overbey, and Lisa Boyle went to Gatlinburg for a few days when school was out for Fall Break. Peggy Hathcock, Melba Dodson and their brother, Gary Neafus came to Gilt Edge Café and ate lunch on Saturday, Oct. 16. Elbert and Judy Starnes visited the Blyue’s recently. It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon to sit on the porch and visit. I wan tot say hello to Dot Smith in Pensacola, Fl. On the prayer list: Una Strevel, Berry Dillender, Mindy Tankersley, Megan Hobock, Hop Gibbons, Dell Ferguson, Odit Poole, Pete and Polly Branch, Verna Lou Timbs, the folks at Kelley’s Chapel, Rev. Jim-

my and Donna Bridges, Charlie Womack, Rita, Donnie, and Will Haislip, Hazel Mooneyham, Roy Randolph, Tony Rhea and his mother, Clara McMillin, Mary Moore, Zack Wallace in the marines and all the other men and women in the military. Also remember Louise Kellum. There will be singing at Randolph Assembly of God Church on the fifth Sunday night at 6 p.m. Rev. Larry Rice is the pastor. Josh Blyue, Erica Davis and night visited the Blyue house a while on Monday in the late afternoon. Bernard and Shirley Lott will be married 51 years on Nov. 2. On our way to church Sunday morning we got behind two horse-drawn wag-

ons with several people in each one. It was fun to see them. I think it was the Alsbrooks. A son, Hunter Lloyd, was born Tuesday, Oct. 19 to David and Becky Womack at Baptist-Tipton Hospital. His weight was six pounds and eight ounces and he was 19 inches long. He has a brother, William, who is one. The grandparents are Lloyd and Patrice Blyue and Charlie and Glenda Womack. The great-grandmother is Annie Sue Tankersley.

Of course I’ll be “dressed” for the occasion as well. KFC in Atoka is providing good ol’ fried chicken for all the residents. Now that might not be a big deal to you, but it is to us because our insurance will no longer allow us to fry, so that means we cannot have fried chicken. All of our residents are really looking forward to that! Also help-

Red Ribbon Week Friday, Oct. 29 - “BOO to Drugs” Students wear their Halloween costume or orange and black clothing. NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS OF STATE HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION BIDS TO BE RECEIVED NOVEMBER 19, 2010 (MOWING/LITTER)

Students released red balloons kicking off Red Ribbon Week. Photo by Tyler Lindsey

Red balloons go by MES By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com On Monday, Oct. 25 around 1:30 p.m., the sky above Munford Elementary School was dotted with red balloons. Balloon Release 2010 kicked off Red Ribbon Week when students released the balloons containing antidrug messages and a prompt to contact the school. “When those balloons were let go, it was such a beautiful sight and the students get so excited,” said guidance counselor Beverly Cox. “They understand the significance and meaning behind it all.” For over 20 years, teachers and students in schools have celebrated being drug-free during the annual Red Ribbon Week. The week is filled with events that recognize the importance of drug awareness and teach students how to deal with drugs in and out of school. Cox directs and plans the movement at Munford Elementary School. She and the faculty work with students to provide fun yet educational means to help them learn about what’s at stake when it comes to drugs. “It’s absolutely amazing to witness how seriously these young students take the subject matter at Munford Elementary,” said Cox. During the kick-off ceremony, many performances directed by music teacher Kreston Smith took place to rally the students as well as teachers into positive attitudes for the week. The student body and faculty were united first thing by singing the “MES Song.” The Treble Choir created a sense of patriotism when they belted “America” and Danae Parks touched everyone emotionally by singing Rascal Flatts’ “What Hurts the Most.” Prekindergarten through second grade sang “The Climb” and

grades third through fifth bonded by singing “Lean On Me.” Before the releasing of the balloons, Cox gave a history of Red Ribbon Week. In 1985, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena was working undercover on an assignment investigating a major drug cartel believed to include officers in the Mexican army, police and government. After disappearing for a month, his body was found tortured and murdered. In honor of Camarena’s memory and his battle against illegal drugs, friends and neighbors began to wear red badges of satin, now worn by students all across America, Tipton County included. Every day this week has a theme celebrating Red Ribbon Week. On Monday, students wore red clothing in honor of the theme "I'm Proud to Be Drug Free." They all wore ties on Tuesday to signify "Don't Let Drugs Tie You Down." Headbands were worn yesterday for "Band Against Drugs." Today, students don Hawaiian leis for "Lay Down Drugs." Because of the approach of Halloween, Friday's theme is "BOO to Drugs" and students are encouraged to wear their Halloween costume or orange and black clothing. Cox has visited classrooms during the month of October to teach drug awareness. "The teacher are so cooperative and really try to encourage the students. I thank them so much for their support and cooperation," said Cox. "The students have just been wonderful and have supported each other especially during performances in the Balloon Release ceremony. We all need to work together to help the students continue this year-round."

Milan ends Covington win streak By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader The last time that the Milan Bulldogs suffered a defeat on the historic turf of Johnnie Hale Stadium’s Bob Parkins’ Field was at the hands of the Covington Chargers in 2004. It was a 35-7 loss that they still feel. They did not intend to have a repeat last Friday night. From the opening 1:30 it was hard to tell that such was the case. The Chargers took the kick-off after the Bulldogs deferred at their own 33-yard line. It was Carlos Williams left for 19 yards and Williams left for 2 yards and Williams left for 45 yards and a 6-0 CHS lead with 10:55 on the clock as the PAT failed. Milan was unfazed. The Bulldogs returned the ensuing kick to their own 44-yard line. On the first play from scrimmage, Milan’s senior tailback, Rodney Nance, bolted, untouched, up the middle for a 56-yard touchdown

for the Bulldogs. With the PAT they led, for good, 7-6. It was not the last time Nance would be heard from as he went on to total 220 yards on 20 carries in the game and add three more touchdowns in the 42-12 Bulldog win. The game became a little more settled after the fast start. CHS drove the ball on the next possession, starting at their own 24, in 14 plays, to the Milan 1-yard line, where on fourth and goal Terrence Pierson was dropped for a loss at the Bulldog three. From there Milan embarked on a 14 play scoring drive of their own which ended with Nance’s second touchdown on a 12-yard run giving Milan a 14-6 lead with 10:31 left in the half. Milan would score twice more in the half to lead 28-6 at the half on runs by Nance and wingback/slot back, Kevius Finch. “We moved the ball on them, but did not finish,” said CHS head coach Marty Wheeler. “Either we shot ourselves in the foot (with penalties) or they stepped up and made

the defensive play when they needed it. You can’t take it away from them. They are probably the best team we have faced all season defensively. We did not tackle well or get off blocks like we have in the last few weeks. Special teams did not play well.” The second half was much like the first. Milan continued to pound the ball at CHS. Covington consumed most of the third quarter with a long drive that produced no points. Following an interception that stopped the CHS drive at the Bulldog fiveyard line. Milan set up shop at their own 43 and scored in five plays aided by a nifty 39-yard run-after-catch on a reverse field run by Finch to the Charger eight. Nance’s last touchdown with :44 left in the third made it 35-6 effectively putting the game out of reach. Covington put one more score on the board with 8:46 remaining as Carlos Williams topped off a 56-yard drive with a 14-yard run to pay dirt. Williams had 200 rushing yards and

two touchdowns in the game and is the first back to gain 100 yards against Milan this season. Terrence Pierson gained 61 yards rushing. Overall, CHS had 287 yards of offense in the game to Milan’s 397. The Bulldogs added a final meaningless score at the 5:28 mark on a Caleb Powell pass for the final margin of 42-12. Milan is 8-1 (4-1) and CHS is 5-4 (3-2) for the season. As for Friday’s Senior Night game at the Athletic Field against Martin Westview, Wheeler said, “Westview is 6-3 and could just as easily be 9-0. Two of their losses are by a combined three points. They are extremely physical; fundamentally sound and they throw and run the ball equally well. We will have to play a physical game to win. We’re happy to be back home. We play better at home. To win we’ll have to finish drives.” Kick-off is set for 7:30 p.m. Senior Night ceremonies will commence at 7 p.m.

CHS alum shines at next level By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader Christal Fisher, who prepped at Covington High School, is now a Union University freshman, and a star on the Bulldogs junior varsity soccer squad just as she was at CHS.

Rebels roll past Middleton By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com Tipton-Rosemark Academy got big games from several players Friday night at home against Middleton as the Rebels took care of Middleton 41-32. Keith Hamlin rushed for two touchdowns and threw for another and Zac Hodgins racked up 85 yards on the ground to go along with a touchdown. Middleton scored two late touchdowns to narrow the margin in a game that the Rebels (2-7) controlled throughout. The Rebels took control of the game in the second quarter with three scores that pushed the lead to 27-12. Two

more scores in the third period put the game away. A 57-yard touchdown pass from Kevin Sansom to Chance Sampson with :33 left in the first half capped off TRA’s second quarter surge. Earlier in the period Hamlin had a 10-yard touchdown run and Hodgins scored from 18 yards out. In the third period Sam Watson recovered a fumble on the Middleton 1-yard line and took it for a score. Hamlin hit Sampson on a 50-yard touchdown pass for TRA’s final score. A Hamlin 7-yard run in the first quarter gave TRA a 7-0 lead. Hamlin completed 7 of 8 passes for 115 yards. The Rebels will wrap up the regular season Friday at USJ.

Munford advances to state By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com The Munford Lady Cougars volleyball team is headed to Murfreesboro again. Thanks to a convincing sectional win over Houston last Thursday (25-21, 25-19, 22-25, 25-17), Munford earned it’s second trip to the Class AAA State Tournament in the past four years. Munford earned the right to host the sectional match with a dramatic 13-25, 25-16, 10-25, 25-16, 17-15 Region

BMS defends title on Saturday By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com With the annual turnover of players that’s inherent to middle school football, it’s hard to be good year in and year out. Apparently nobody told Brighton Middle School football coach Larry Williams. Thanks to a win over Union City Middle on the road Oct. 19, BMS earned a right to play in the West Tennessee Sectional Championship for the second straight season. The game will be held Saturday at 1 p.m. at Greenhill Stadium in Memphis. . The Cardinals defeated Georgian Hills Middle last season and will face them again. “I watched them play last Saturday,” Williams said of Saturday’s opponent. “They’re big and they’re fast. We’re going to have to play really good to beat them.” Brighton Middle certainly has plenty of momentum heading into the

game. In last week’s win over Union City, BMS trailed 12-8 at the half before surging to the win. Montavo Terry led the way with 210 rushing yards and three touchdowns. Billy Joe Dunham chipped in with a rushing touchdown and 15 tackles and quarterback Bentley Jones had a solid game. “We just played a really good second half,” Williams said. “We recovered two fumbled, which really helped.” Brighton Middle (10-1) beat Humboldt two weeks ago, 28-6, in the first round of the playoffs to set up the game with Union City. The team’s only loss of the season came in the season opener against Memphis University School. The Cardinals have won four of the last five West Tennessee Athletic Conference titles. “I’m very proud of the guys,” Williams said. “We’ll see what we can do Saturday.”

7-AAA championship win over Arlington last week, a match in which the Lady Cougars faced three match points. It was Munford’s fourth straight title. The Lady Cougars defeated Bartlett 25-17, 25-17, 25-16 in the region semifinals to advance to the title match. Munford was to play DobynsBennett yesterday in the first round of the eight-team tournament. Ravenwood or Karns will be Munford’s second round opponent. Results and a tournament schedule can be found at tssaa.org.

Brighton golfers end season By STEVE HENDRICKSON Special to The Leader For the fifth straight year the Brighton High School boys golf team represented Region VII golf at the TSSAA Division I AAA State Championship held this year at Willowbrook Golf Club in Manchester. And according to the Cardinals first year Coach Kim Greer, “This is a record that will be tough to match.” The 36-hole event hosted the 16 top boys and girls golf teams from across the state as well as an additional 64 top boys and girls individual qualifiers. For the boys, team champions were Hendersonville (592), followed by Houston (597), Farragut (605), Brentwood (613), McMinn County (620), Science Hill (620), Tullahoma (622) and Brighton (677). For the girls, team champions were Soddy Daisy (304), Bearden (307), Ravenwood (307), Jefferson County (318), Portland (321), Siegel (328), Munford (359) and White Station (405). The Division I Region 7 AAA Boys Championship team finished eighth overall, but again had consistent play by BHS senior Tyler Hendrickson who finished tied for 18th with a respectable 158 finish. “We didn’t play our best golf of the season as a team,” said the BHS team captain.

“The conditions were great, but the course was set up pretty tough and it made it hard to go low.” “Our kids simply had a tough tournament,” added Coach Greer. “The course was tight and the greens fast, so hitting fairways and greens was a premium. Our younger players had a tough time adjusting to this. I was really proud of the way Tyler led the team and how fellow senior Corey O’Hara stepped up and played some of his best golf of the season. Our two individual girls who qualified, senior Britt Sanford and junior Kara Glover also played well. I’m extremely proud of all our players.” Additionally, the Division I AAA Region VII Girls Championship team from Munford High, led by Amanda Levin and Madison Willis finished 7th overall. “This was a great effort by our girls,” said MHS Coach Jason Johnson. “Amanda and Madison worked extremely hard all year. They won the region for the first time ever in MHS history and topped it off by finishing seventh in the state. Simply an outstanding effort.” MHS individual boys qualifiers Easton Lavelle and Jake Etherington had fine individual tournament scores as well, finishing at 155 and 150 respectively.

Covington Boxing Club fights for glory By MALCOLM TERRY Special to The Leader The Covington Boxing Club took part in a boxing show in Jackson on Saturday, Oct. 23 called “The Halloween Bash.” There were boxers from about 15 teams competing. The Covington team won four out of six bouts and one of the losses should have gone their way spectators say.

Antonio Granberry lost a really close decision but was awarded the Sportsmanship Award for his effort. Davy Smith Jr. from the Covington team won his first fight and was also awarded the Outstanding Boxer Award in his age group. Kerby Wiseman won his fight against his opponent from Huntsville, Ala. In addition, Thomas

Hall dominated his Huntsville, Ala. opponent. Steve Cross took on a tough 22-year-old open boxer from Nashville and showed everyone why he is a national champion. Because he soundly defeated the older boxer, Cross was selected as the Outstanding Boxer in his class as well. The team will travel to Osceola, Ark. next

Jasmine Brown and Kamesha VanPelt scored goals in the first half to knot the score at 2-2 at the break. Simmone Council gave the Lady Chargers the lead on a penalty kick mid-way in the second half on a penalty kick only to see Westview ties the score at three on a penalty kick of their own. Westview took the lead with 10 minutes remaining with a shot from deep and played outstanding defense for the remainder of the match to seal the win. Jasmine Brown, Kamesha VanPelt and Gabby Glenn were all named to the All-Tournament Team. Cross Country Sharman Coley’s X-Country squad continues to improve.

Wildlife Chatter: Possible alligator in Tipton County For years, I have heard stories of alligators in the Hatchie River and even one time, I got a picture of an alligator in a river. The picture was definitely an alligator but there was nothing in the picture to prove the location of the animal. Now, I have an eye witness report that alligator(s) have been spotted in the Hatchie River. The source in this case qualifies as a verifiable witness. The word that I have received is that a young alligator was spotted in the Hatchie River. The first assumption could be that he has a papa and momma close by. Or, secondly, it could have been a pet that someone let loose to eliminate a food bill. I have heard that all sorts of animals have been turned loose in the Hatchie Bottoms to fend for themselves to reduce the family grocery and/ or feed bills. This may be what happened, here, too. And, if that is the case, there may be just one alligator. Alligators have been reported as far north as North Carolina where they can burrow into a river bank, you

Dear Friends, would only have to go down a few feet in the earth to find a constant temperature in the fifties, and go into a form of hibernation surfacing back in the spring when the temperatures hit the sixties. Or, they can thrive in very cold places where they can find a power plant that would emit warm water into the area. After talking with Tipton County Game Warden Jake Yoes, he has asked me to say: alligators are a protected species in Tennessee. Do not have one in your possession and do not attempt to harvest one by any means. It is against Tennessee law because alligators are native to Tennessee. Right now I cannot add any more to this story, but will ask you to avoid any and all contact with any alligator, wherever you are. Call me at 901 476
