Schools bode well on state tests
By TIFFANY HOLLAND tholland@covingtonleader.com
Tipton County high schools received some positive news at the beginning of 2011 when the state report card on education was released. All three high schools – Brighton, Covington and Munford met their benchmarks for the No Child Left Behind Act and scored above the state average. New curriculum standards for the 2009-2010 year almost
guaranteed low scores for local schools across the state. More challenging tests were put in place where teachers would have to catch students up on material from earlier grades that they had missed in addition to the new material for their current grade. Therefore the year averages for the entire state would be predictably lower than previous years. In spite of this uphill climb, Tipton County high schools fared well on most individual tests by scor-
ing what they were expected to or higher in nearly every subject. According to the No Child Left Behind Act every school must meet certain requirements to show adequate yearly progress (AYP), which determines if the student is making progress in achievements by taking yearly tests. Students must meet the standards of AYP to be in good standing. Attendance and graduation rates are also used in achieving AYP. ACT scores
are used as well in evaluations of progress. ACT is used as a college entrance exam, which is divided in four sections and has a high score of 36. At Brighton High school students tested above the state average in Algebra 1, Biology, and English II. On the ACT college entrance exam Brighton students scored above average as well in each test portion. The 2010 average for Brighton was 20.6 in Math, 20.9 in English, 21 in

Tipton County was treated to spring-like temperatures and sunshine over the weekend, with cloudless skies and highs in the upper 60s. The warm temperatures were sandwiched between wintry weather on Wednesday, Jan. 26 and snow flurries and highs below freezing on Wednesday, Feb. 2. At press time, there was a 30 percent chance of snow on Friday. Above, Patrick and Michelle Lorimer of Covington entertain their daughter Fallyn at Project Play on Saturday afternoon.

PARKS & RECREATION
Covington to revamp, rework soccer fields By TIFFANY HOLLAND tholland@covingtonleader.com As the brutal winter weather eventually fades away the city and county will prepare for an influx of spring and summer sports participation, but there are some changes underway. The Covington Parks and Recreation Department is planning on repairing some of its fields for upcoming sports season. The spring soccer league is getting underway and the existing fields located on the Tipton County Board of Education property are in need of some repairs according to officials at the park and recreation department. The fields are located next to Covington Integrated Arts Academy where the old Covington landfill resided. Amy Payne, the Park and Rec. director, presented proposals to the city council and committees last week that included costs estimates from Rose Construction to
reconstruct the field. There is also a possibility that Public Works would place dirt where needed to get through the year. “We are very thankful for the Tipton County Board of Education to let us use their land,” said Payne. “We hope we can get (the reworking) done before the season begins. That is the goal.” The General WelfarePublic Relations committee in Covington agreed to continue to work with Public Works on the maintenance of the soccer fields through this year. Budget estimates for repairing the Sportsplex soccer fields have three alternates. The first is to strip the topsoil on entire area and then grade the area on a plane and return topsoil back and seed. This would cost $5,200. The second choice suggested was to truck in dirt and spread as necessary to fill in low areas for the price of $5,330.
BRIGHTON – An Atoka woman was killed Monday afternoon during a collision with an 18-wheeler, the Tennessee Dept. of Safety reports According to police reports, at approximately 3:45 p.m. a 2002 Saturn SC2 driven by 26-year-old Kylee E. Shay Hankins was traveling northbound on Hwy. 14 near Poindexter Road when it veered left into the southbound lane, hitting an 18-wheeler. Hankins, of Wellington Way, was reportedly killed on impact. An investigation by Trooper J. Jarrett with the Tennessee Highway Patrol revealed Hankins was wearing a seatbelt. The driver of the semi, James M. Hill, 47, of Dyersburg, was also injured but survived the wreck. Neither drugs nor alcohol were found in either vehicle. Hankins, a student at the National College of Business and Technology, is survived by daughter Lillian Grace Hankins and son Jordan Thomas Hankins. SEE WRECK, PAGE A3
Dental charity to see makeover Wrather launches contest for free dental makeovers By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com
City officials hope to renovate soccer fields located near Crestview Elementary School before the start of the season in March. There are alternative means to complete the work and estimates put costs between $5,200 and $7,280.
The third choice is to strip the topsoil of the land to a stockpile, then grade each field to specific design of actual soccer field specifications and return topsoil and seed or sod. The price estimate for this is $7,280. None of these estimates take in the price of seeding the land which can cost roughly $1,000 an acre. The soccer fields are
used for the soccer league which brings hundreds of children and adults. The fields are often described as “wavy” and hard to play on. Reworking the field would make the playing conditions much more to par, according to the Park and Rec. officials. No final decisions on the field have been decided by the city as of yet.
A Covington dentist known for providing free services at Valentine’s Day has a change of plans this year. For a decade, Dr. Roy Wrather and his team have provided dental services for nearly 300 patients at no cost. In the past, patients have lined up at the dental office on Sherrod Avenue, but this year several people will be chosen for a complete dental makeover. “This year we are turning our concerns and free treatment to selected individuals,” Wrather said. “We are asking patients who would normally line up the night before and withstand the winter elements to, instead, write a letter telling us why they feel they are in need of dental services and how their smile could make a difference in their life.” SEE TEETH, PAGE A3

SCORES
Continued from A1 Reading, 20.4 in Science Reasoning and had a total composite of 20.9. Their writing assessment score average was a 4.52, also above average. The graduation rate was a near perfect 98 percent. Covington High School earned above average scores in Algebra 1, Biology 1, and English II for this year. CHS had more academic growth in Algebra 1 than any other school in the state on the growth scale. On the ACT score, Covington students averaged 17.9 in Math, 18.1 in English, 17.9 in Reading, 17.8 in Science Reasoning and had a composite of 18. Their writing assessment average was a 4.36, which is above the state average. Their graduation rate was 93 percent. Munford High Schools average scores had them faring above average in Algebra 1 and English II but below average in Biology 1. They still maintained above average scores overall. Munford’s ACT scores were 19.6 in Math, 20.7 in English, 19.6 in Reading, 19.8 in Science, and a composite of 20.1. The students’ writing assessment test was a 4.62. Their graduation rate was 93 percent. The graduation rate for all of Tipton County was 94 percent, an eight percent increase compared to the rest of the state which has a graduation rate of 86 percent. The average ACT score in 2010 was 19.9, which is slightly above the state average. The three-year
average ACT composite score from the county was 20.5 slightly above the 20.3 composite of the rest of the state. The testing was so positive in the Tipton County high schools that the Regional Education Laboratories research program from the U.S. Department of Education has taken notice. On Monday, Feb. 7 REL will come to the Tipton County Board of Education to film and research details and plans put in place by the Tipton County high schools that led to the positive test scores. This research will be used in other rural county schools across the South to help improve test scores. Even with the positive scores for high school students, members of the school board acknowledge that there is still work to be done. “There are always improvements to be made,� said Buddy Bibb the Director of Instruction on the Tipton County Board of Education. The high school supervisor at the board, Grant Shipley, credits the above average scores to the principals and faculty of the schools themselves. “We are very proud of them and all the work they do,� said Shipley. “They are getting the students better prepared for the next step after high school.� Report card scores for the middle and elementary schools in Tipton County have also been disclosed and will be reported on next week.
TCSO: Farm club nets four weekend arrests By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com COVINGTON – Four men were arrested early Sunday morning after a routine bar check found a fight in progress at The Farm Club, the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office reported Tuesday. Spokesperson Deputy Chief Donna Turner said deputies entered the establishment at approximately 2:40 a.m. and patrons notified them of a fight in progress. Deputies reportedly
stopped the fight, arrested Bryson Bonds, 25, of 132 Watkins Street in Ripley, with disorderly conduct. Turner said deputies observed another patron having difficulty breathing and attempted to aid the patron when an intoxicated man approached a deputy and acted in what the sheriff’s office called a belligerent manner. This patron, Richard Daniel Cleaves, 29, of 418 Hill Street in Covington, was arrested and charged with public intoxication.

Domestic violence support group started in Covington Stepping out as an act of faith, a local domestic abuse survivor has found a way to give back and offer support for others who’ve endured a similar fate. Several years ago, during a previous relationship, Christy Murphy promised God she’d dedicate her life to Him if he’d help her out of the situation she’d found herself in. Help came and, true to her word, Murphy came to know Christ. “What happened to me is my testimony,” she said. “God is definitely in control and he’s done so much for me.” And now she wants to help others through a support group, which will begin meeting next week. Through the group, Murphy wants to help empower women and encourage them to overcome domestic abuse and violence. Teaming up with Global Go Girl, a program whose mission is to help women overcome abuse God’s way,

“I just want to help them heal.” - Christy Murphy ph
she wants to inform others that domestic abuse exists in more than just a physical form. “Domestic violence is not only physical abuse but also mental/emotional abuse,” she said. “Domestic violence starts out as mental/emotional abuse then escalates into physical often leading to death.” Murphy wants to reach out to all victims, especially those who are being emotionally/mentally abused. “Why should the emotionally abused victim have to wait for the bruises before receiving any help?” A survey conducted by the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates one in four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime. The U.S.
Dept. of Justice reports only one-quarter or onefifth of domestic violence is actually reported. In Tipton County last year, there were more than 200 reports of domestic abuse. Murphy said her intent is not to encourage women to leave their abusers, but to help them heal, educate them and offer support. “I can’t tell them to leave their husbands or to get a divorce,” she said. “I just want to help them heal.” The group will begin meeting at First Presbyterian Church in Covington 2-4 p.m. on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month, beginning Feb. 12. For more information contact Christy Murphy at 901-679-5095 or FPC 901-476-2434. The church is located at 403 S. Main St., Covington. For more information on domestic violence, please go to the following websites: www.ncadv. org, www.domesticviolencemorethanbruises.org and www.sistersbuildingsisters. org.
FARM
Continued from A2 club, deputies observed a large crowd exit the building, engaged in a disturbance. As deputies approached the crowd and attempted to arrest William Lee Benard, 22, of 526 Rosedale Avenue in Covington, he began to physically resist the arrest. After a brief struggle, he was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, public intoxication and resisting arrest. The third time wasn’t the charm Sunday night, however. After having escorted Benard out of the club, yet another fight broke out inside the establishment. Reports indicate Cornelius Devon Ruffin, 21, of 132 Center Street in Ripley, appeared intoxicated and was reportedly yelling and “throwing” gang signs in what deputies believe were attempts to have the disturbances inside The Farm to continue. As he was approached by deputies, Ruffin allegedly picked up a bar stool and was attempting to strike other patrons. Deputies discharged a taser to prevent Ruffing from assaulting anyone. He was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, inciting a riot, disorderly conduct and public intoxication. “It was a very volatile situation and I’m glad that other Farm club

Continued from A1 Though he’s donated approximately $30,000 in dental services to the community, Wrather said he’s disappointed in his previous efforts because necessary treatment wasn’t complete after one day. “I’m grateful to get a patient out of pain, but I was always disappointed that patients walked away without dentures, root canals or crowns,” he said. “By changing our plans for 2011, we can change someone’s smile for a lifetime.” The letter writing campaign is cur-
rently in progress. Wrather said the first drawing will be conducted on April 1. The winner will be contacted by phone, email or postal mail.

Play ball By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com It was wonderful, wasn't it? That is to say, the weather last weekend seemed to lighten nearly everyone's spirits. It certainly raised my demeanor. In the grip of dead winter, the thawing we received really rallied my hope that spring is near. Additionally, the early-spring prognostications of the groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, cemented the thought. There was no shadow this year.
As February has begun, we're now able to say that, next month, spring officially starts with all its warm-weather activities. Nothing says "warmth" and "sunshine" like good old-fashioned baseball. The MLB season starts its exhibition games next month. Here's hoping it'll bring the weather with it. Pictured above are some Brighton boys of summer getting ready for baseball during the 1940s. Pictured in the photograph are Joe Swaim of Covington (fifth from the left) and Jimmy Trotter (second from the left).

In the country uninvited guests such as rabbits, ’coons, ’possums and deer come in the middle of the night and gorge themselves.

Well, I got nosy and lifted the pot to spy on Randy the raccoon but he got away and ran over me. Friends, I fell back’ards over the chicken water bucket and ‘pert nigh’ broke my ribs. I wallowed around in the mud, scared to death. All of the hogs came to the corner of the lot to see what was going on with the cows and calves lined up in the corner of the pasture fence.

I slid down the tree and took off chasin’ the ’coon with the dogs. He crawled up a corner cross tie post and disappeared through the cotton field. The dogs couldn’t jump the fence, but they were insane jumpin’, howlin’ and barkin’. I’ve got to return to the wash pot, which I dreaded. Daddy lit me up with another preacha’s sermon and sent me scamperin’ back to the corn crib where I should have stayed in the first place. Even today if I see a wash pot turned upside down, I check first before I look under it, since it’s safer that way. Wash pots and ’coons, now ain’t that a smoooothhhh combination?

Is there anyone you love and appreciate and who loves you and appreciates you and asks for little or nothing in return? Ed and Bertha Walker were like that to their family. And Jacob Brown was having a bad day. He was “mad.” What if someone thought your little T-shirt stunt wasn’t cute and it made him mad? Would

it give him the right to beat your brains in with a baseball bat? How could you support that kind of behavior? How tough a guy did Jacob Brown have to be to beat two older, defenseless adults with a bat? He ambushed them and they had nowhere to go and were, therefore, defenseless. Imagine how tough he
must be. He’d be tough enough to beat a family pet to death. Tough enough to take out a sleeping infant in a crib. He’s a real tough guy, all right. And he’ll need his toughness where he’s going. Adult inmates will be happy to have him on the cell block. Too bad they’ll see him coming and he won’t be carrying a bat. Quite a guy indeed.

Hopefully, your parents and some counseling can bring you up to speed on the basics of right – helping the elderly across streets, taking up for the helpless and assisting the infirmed – versus wrong – beating two elderly people to death. And if you still don’t get it, we have to hope you end up sharing a cell with Jacob Brown before more violence occurs.

www.covingtonleader.com LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Unsung heroes in our lives During the months since my retirement from the Tipton County Commission on Aging, I have had time to think quite bit about the people who contributed to the successes we enjoyed during my 14+ years there. My memories continually return
to the people who were with me in 1994 when we were first trying new programs and new ideas for serving seniors. One name always comes to mind. Rebecca Bringle is one of my most important ‘unsung heroes’. Miss Becky was always positive about
any new idea I came up with... and some of them were pretty crazy. But no matter, she supported all my plans, attended all the new programs. Without her encouragment, TCCA would not be the multi-faceted agency it is today. All seniors in Tipton County owe her a
debt of gratitude. I hope that everyone who is starting on a new journey as I was in 1994 has a ‘hero’ like Rebecca Bringle cheering them on to be the best that they can be. Margaret Fleming, Covington
Sheriff's office encourages safety on Sunday Sheriff J.T. “Pancho” Chumley of the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office in cooperation with the Tennesse Governor ’s Highway Safety Office is reminding football fans that if your Super Bowl celebration includes alcohol, make the right decision before kickoff and always have a designated driver. Deputies from Tipton County Sheriff’s Office will be conducting additional traffic enforcement patrols and checkpoints
during and after the game to promote traffic safety in Tipton County. This local message complements that national Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk message supported by the National Football League (NFL), the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), the HERO Campaign and Techniques for Effective
Alcohol Management (TEAM) Coalition. “We’re reminding everyone that real Super Bowl Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk,” said Sheriff Chumley: “If your postseason game plan includes alcohol, make sure you have a designated driver in your starting line-up. We are asking all party hosts and bar owners to take extra good care of designated drivers this year. Designated drivers make sure everyone gets
home safely. For taking on such an important responsibility, they should be rewarded.” “We want everyone to make the right decision for Super Bowl,” Sheriff Chumley said. “Having a designated driver should be an obvious call in everyone’s play book. Making sure designated drivers know how much we appreciate their responsible decision is what will make this year’s celebration extra special – and extra safe.”

IN OUR VIEW: AN EDITORIAL
Arrests: Leader adopts new policy A few things are changing at The Leader, as we noted a few weeks ago. One of those is a commitment to getting more public records into the newspaper. This week, for instance, you’ll see arrest reports on page 5. Most newspapers run some variation of these, but for a long time, The Leader quit doing so. We’re changing that policy today. The goal of the reports isn’t to make people look bad, to embarrass mothers, fathers, sons and daughters or to hurt people’s lives and careers, but to inform. Newspapers - and those of us who work at newspapers - don't want to hurt anyone. Most of us want to help. And when we can bring people information that helps them make good decisions, we are helping. In the end, if bad things do happen, we can at least take solace
in the fact that those bad things didn't happen due to our refusal to keep the community informed. Delivering basic information is the goal of any newspaper worth its salt and advising teenage parents that their daughter’s boyfriend was arrested for possession of drugs, or for driving under the influence or for breaking and entering gives those parents information with which to make better decisions on how they raise their teens. What if a teacher were arrested for drug use or possession? Or a little league coach? Doesn't that seem like the kind you'd want to know? Now here’s the rub: We don’t and we cannot and will not ever pick and choose which ones to run. We either run them all, fairly and impartially, or we don’t run any. We’ve made the decision to run them all.
One day, we will have to tell a mother that her son will be in the arrest report. Someone will say that children at local schools ridiculed one child because his or her mother or father was arrested. We don't want that to happen, and if that were that the only issue at hand, we'd never run any arrests. But it's not that simple. We believe that ignorance - not truth - is the enemy. If we commit to running arrest reports, we have to run them all, even when it proves uncomfortable to do so. The reports are public reports and we're not running anything that the community doesn't have access to. We're just providing a concise medium for those reports to give the newspaper purpose and relevance to our readers. We're doing this - whether you believe it or not - because we care. Not because we
are opportunistic and because we wish to prey on people's misfortunes. We do it knowing full well that one day we could be in there. Or one of our own could be there. Still, we do it. We believe that the community is better served by intelligent, credible information than it is by ignorance and rumor. And the truth is that very few people will argue against running these until their reputations are on the line. In the end, we hope you see the value of having the arrest reports and we hope you don’t end up in them. And even though we plan to run them moving forward, it's not one of the more entertaining parts of the job we have here. Still, if we don't make good on this commitment to keep our community informed, we may as well close up shop.

Sunday School 9:00 am & 10:30 am
Things a blind man saw In Acts 9 (and Luke later records in both Acts 22 and Acts 26), we have the conversion of a young man named Saul of Tarsus. Luke introduces us to him in Acts 8 as we see him consenting unto the first death of a disciple of Jesus Christ (Stephen). As a devout Pharisee (Philippians 3:5-6), he quickly began persecuting the church that Christ built upon the foundation of his apostles in Acts 2. Yet, one day as he was near the city of Damascus, he saw a heavenly light that was brighter than the Palestinian sun. Upon his conversation with the Lord Jesus Christ, he waited for instructions from Ananias to comply with obedience to the fact that Jesus selected him to be one of his apostles. Luke states, “And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink” (Acts 9:9). Nevertheless, while Saul was blind for three days, he did see some very important things in his life. He saw that one could be honest, sincere, conscientious, religious, zealous and still be dead wrong! Concerning the early part of his Jewish life, he wrote to Timothy that he did things “ignorantly in unbelief” (I Timothy 1:13). From the aforementioned passage in Philippians 3:5-6, he deemed himself to be very devout and zealous. Yet, none of these mattered on that road to Damascus. He was still an enemy of his Lord and needed obedient faith. Many follow in
these footsteps today. He saw that one could be mistaken completely and thoroughly as to the identity of the people of God. At the time, he still thought that the Jews were the people of God; at the time, he thought that God was pleased with his actions. Yet, he was mistaken, and many people today are mistaken as to the identity of the people of God. He saw that to persecute the people of God is to persecute Christ himself. While he was persecuting the church (Acts 9:1-2), Jesus asked him, “Why persecutest thou me?” (Acts 9:4). He later learned the association between the people of God and Christ (cf. Matthew 25:31-46). He saw that one cannot obtain salvation by faith alone, but saving faith is obedient faith. While he addressed Jesus as “Lord” in Acts 9:6, even to the point of asking, “What wilt thou have me to do?” Jesus did not reply that his faith has saved him without any need to do anything else (as some teach today). He told Saul to go to Damascus and wait for further instructions, which came through a called disciple named Ananias. He still needed to obey God, which he would do through these instructions from Ananias. We also need to see that saving faith is obedient faith (cf. Hebrews 5:8-9). He saw that salvation demands genuine repentance. Once he realized what he had done (cf. Acts 9:4-5), his demeanor changed. He

was “trembling and astonished” (Acts 9:6). The fact that he fasted for three days (Acts 9:9) is generally a sign of repentance. Jesus demanded, “And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations” (Luke 24:47), which Peter began in Acts 2:38. He saw that only the Lord could tell men what to do to obtain salvation. Jesus told him to go to Damascus and wait for further instructions (Acts 9:6), which he did (Acts 9:8-9). When God called Ananias to go to Saul, Ananias said to him, “Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me” (Acts 9:17). Thus, he knew that the instructions he would receive from Ananias ultimately came from God. Only God can tell man what to do to obtain salvation! He saw that even a persecutor and a blasphemer could obtain salvation by the grace of God through the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is the very point he would make to Timothy in First Timothy 1:15-16. Anyone can become a child of God by his grace when he complies with the gospel. Therefore, the whole world needs to see the things that a blind man saw! --Sam Willcut preaches for the Munford Church of Christ (sam. willcut@munfordcofc.org)

William Andrew McBride Sr. June 5, 1921 – January 27, 2011
William Andrew “Bill” McBride, Sr., was born on June 5, 1921 in Covington Tennessee, and died at the age of 89 on January 27, 2011 in Harlingen, Texas, surrounded by four generations of his family. A man of great faith and integrity, he frequently said, “God has blessed me daily for this lifetime.” Bill shared those blessings with all those whose life he touched. To his family, he was truly special - one of the greats who believed God is everywhere, a handshake meant something, and life was about family and community. He married Dorothy Rainbolt in Houston, Texas on November 18, 1944, just days after returning from his Army Air Corps service in Italy as a B-24 bombardier. Bill and Dorothy’s continuing love for each other was evidenced in simple ways, such as how they always held hands as they walked together. They resided in Harlingen since 1947 with the exception of three years when they lived in Ozona and Brownsville, Texas. Bill served as chairman of the board of South Texas Lumber & Supply and General Manager of the Harlingen lumberyard. He was a past president of the Valley Lumbermen’s Association and director of the Valley Homebuilders Association. He served as a director and member of the executive board of the Lumbermen’s Association of Texas, and in 1994 was recognized as Texas Lumberman of the Year. Bill’s community involvement included membership for many years on the advisory board of the Valley Baptist Medical Center Building Committee, as a life member of the board of Asbury Theological Seminary, as a member of the Board of Stewards and Lay Leader of First Methodist Church in Harlingen, and as an advisory director of Texas State Bank. He was also a director of the Harlingen and Rio Grande Valley Chambers of Commerce, the Harlingen Industrial Council and the Harlingen Industrial Foundation. He served as trustee of Harlingen Waterworks System, as chairman of the Salvation Army Advisory Board, and vice president and director of the Kiwanis Club of Harlingen. A 65-year Mason, Bill was a member of Harlingen Masonic Lodge No. 1132, Scottish Rite, and the Alzafar Shrine Temple. Bill is survived by his wife, Dorothy Rainbolt McBride; their daughter, Sandra McBride Hackard and her husband James Clifford “Jim” Hackard, of San Antonio; their son William Andrew “Bill” McBride, Jr. and his wife Judith Ann “Judy” McBride, of Harlingen. Bill and Dorothy have five grandchildren: Andrew Scott Hackard of Austin; Gretchen Hackard Choe and her husband Chong-Hui Choe, of Dallas; Erin May McBride Hodgson and her husband Mark Allan Hodgson, of Brownsville; Molly Rose McBride, of Harlingen; and Sara Elizabeth McBride, of Atlanta, Georgia; great-granddaughter, Ella Katherine Hodgson and great-grandson, Jared Daniel Gibo.

2011 Brighton City Trash pickup Sometimes, searching for volunteers may be a difficult task especially when it comes to trash. Last week, the citizens of Brighton had to look no further than their own town. On Saturday Jan. 29, the Brighton Cub Scouts picked up trash
for two hours around the town of Brighton. The 22 Cub Scouts and 24 parents who helped in the clean up displayed a sense of community pride. They collected 15 bags of trash and 4 bags of recyclables. "Keep Tipton County Beautiful"
sponsored the event by providing trash bags and an extra gifts of rulers and bracelets. Fast Times in Brighton also donated pizzas to help sponsor the event.

Hi everyone, First, I would like to thank everyone who sent me birthday cards. It was very touching. I received a card and a phone call from a dear friend some of you will remember, Kathleen and Joe Chidestor, now residing in Arizona and have since they left the Brighton area years ago. It was so nice to visit with her. She and Joe were celebrating their 55th anniversary the day after my birthday. That's how she keeps up with it. After last week's notes regarding pajamas, someone reminded me of something worse than wearing those pajamas in public. They said the worst part of today's young men or boys is the way they wear their pants down to their knees so you can see their underwear. I replied absolutely. It is by far the worse. Like I said, I hope it's a fad that will soon be gone. I turn my head the other way so I don't have to look. I think there should be laws against indecent exposure. If I'm not mistaken there use to be laws regarding this type of behavior. I don't know what happened to it. Oh well, one day at a time as they say.

Hello Readers, This has been the busiest winter I can remember. Just about everyone I talk to says the same. And to go along with that, the weather has been the snowiest I can remember in a long time as well. For a quick update, yes I am still recouperating from my foot surgery. I should be in a tennis shoe in about a week. I am at work and doing well. The twins were born on

I must say hello to Heaven Nicole Chapuis. Caleb Cusick came to church recently with his grandmother, Annie Sue Tankersley and William Womack comes to church with his grandmother, Glenda Womack. I had my friend Dot Smith in Pensacola, Fla. On my mind and it would not leave me alone. I wrote a note to her at 2 a.m., then I got a card from her that she wrote on Jan. 21. The cold temperatures they are having does not help her bones. She grew up in Tipton County and a few years ago when she came
Well, those beautiful sunny and warm days we had got me going. Last Saturday, I got the rake out of the storage room and began raking around the flower beds. I just had to! There is so much more to do and by then it probably won't be nearly as exciting. However, I do love my yard work. Well, Valentine's Day is only a little over a week away. Fellows you better start asking questions now about what the love in your life wants. But you might want to do a double check a little later in case she has changed her mind. Ha ha! That's supposed to be funny, but unfortunately true. Salem Presbyterian Church Worship is at 11 a.m. each Sunday morning. Rev. Charles Todd is the minister. Everyone is always welcome. The Women's Bible Study will meet Thursday, Feb. 3 at 7 p.m. at the church. Please bring your baby gifts for the Confidential Care for Women. On Saturday, Feb. 12, the women will tour the Confidential Care for Women's facility and then go to lunch. If you want to carpool please meet at the church at 10 a.m. Your participation in the Christmas Card Box project greatly appreciated. Donations equaling $325 were colJan. 14.,about 5 weeks early. They of course are beautiful. Staci is doing well and so is CH. They are still limiting visitors but it won't last very much longer. My father fell last Friday night. He was grilling a steak out on the patio. Just as most country boys do he went out in the yard to relieve himself and got his house shoe somehow caught when turning to return to the house. It sort of flipped him and he fell. He crawled and dragged himself to the house to back on a visit, she and her sister, Annie, came to see me. On the prayer list: Charlie Womack, Melissa Downing, Mary moore, Kathryn Glass, Jerry Dye, Rev. Larry Rose, Berry Dillender, Elbert Starnes, Mr. and Mrs. Climer, Hop Gibbins, Mindy Tankersley, Odis Poole, Pete and Polly Branch, Rev. Jimmy and Donna Bridges, Donnie, Rita and Will Haislip, Zack Wallace, Clara McMillin and Cordie Morgan. Sympathy to the loved ones of Ed and Bertha Walker. I loved both of them, Ed was my first cousin, but he's always been more like a brother. His mother and my mother were sisters.

Bible Lectureship will be Feb. 6-11. Happy birthdays this week go to Lawson Maxwell, Jennifer Phillips, Ashley McDaniel and Matt Salee. Happy anniversary to Scrapper and Joyce Scott. Hope they are each the greatest! In closing, the basketball games are continuing. I know a few who spend all day or at least half of the day at the old gym in Brighton. That reminds me. Charlie and I and several of his classmates met in the home of Gloria Covert on Saturday. They are making plans for their 50-year class reunion. It is set for Sept. 3 in the old cafeteria beginning at 6 p.m. They will mix and mingle and eat at 7 p.m. and then some good old '50s and '60s music with a DJ until 10 p.m. Gloria said that's when her eyes start shutting down. However, their next meeting will be held at the Bald Butcher on April 15 at 12 noon. This is the class of 1961 from Brighton High School. It is so much fun getting together with old friends and sharing a lot of funny stories. There are several of my old classmates that get together quite often each year. We will be planning our 50th pretty soon. Have a great week everyone. It won't be too much longer until spring.
Please send prayers his way. So needless to say we have been very busy and that is why I haven't written my article lately. I do miss you and hope to get my life settled in some manner. Love to you all, Debe

Firstly, with my going away a few weeks ago, some of you probably noticed my news being slightly off kilter, the case being just that. However, now it’s pretty well back on track and hopefully it’ll remain as such. Thanks to all of you for bearing with me. Jamestown Community Health Organization will kick of its first health fair on Feb. 19 starting at 9 a.m. at the center, which was once Old Miller’s Store on Jamestown Road in Jamestown. There will be several personalities that’ll be bringing vital information your way along with other health-related matters along with fun and games for all to enjoy. I hope to see all of you there.

Hello from Burlison. Burlison has a new citizen and the Kellum family has a new addition. Garyn Dane Kellum was born on January 25, 2011. Garyn weighed in at 8lbs. 7ozs.and was 20 Ÿ inches long. Garyn’s parents are Daniel and Amy Kellum of Burlison. Proud paternal grandparents are John Wayne and Tina Kellum also of Burlison. Maternal grandparents are Alan and Anita Barganier and the late Gary Brewer, Garyn’s namesake. Garyn makes the fourth great-grandson for John and Nadine Kellum of Burlison. By the way, Daniel says that it’s possible to make it from his house on Kellum Lane to Baptist Women’s Hospital, Memphis in 35 minutes and that includes being pulled over once by a policeman. Funny what it will do to the speedometer on your vehicle when there’s a woman in labor in the passenger’s

In order to be able to get in on this fun event, you may contact President Minister Pearl Andrews or any JCHO committee member as soon as possible. March is just around the corner.

Send checks or money orders payable to Jamestown Committee Health Organization. Also simple cash still works out just fine. The treasurer is Mary Burton and assistant treasurer is Jessie Cooke.

We just don’t know if we should wear long pants or shorts in this “lovely� weather we’ve been having here lately do we? But like I said week before last, “I’m ready for summer�!!!! Kind of have a feeling though that that is not going to happen. It’s so hard on our folks when it’s too cold to get out and they just want to get some fresh air, but I guess we’ll just have to bare it till spring! We have several b’days of our residents this month, Mr. Billy Worrell was this past Tuesday the 1st, Ms. Sadie Norton’s was this past Wednesday the 2nd, Ms. Frances Hunter’s is tomorrow, the 4th, Ms. Madelyn Parham’s is the 21st. Then we have three staff members,
Sadie Dunn on the 5th, Joan Sanders on the 10th, and Ruth Bartlett on the 23rd. Happy, happy birthday to all of you!!! My goodness, we have a train load of them this month! We do hope you all have and have had a very special and wonderful day either ahead of you or behind you! We are planning our Valentine’s party for Sunday February 13th, at 3:00 in the fellowship hall. We’ll have Bingo at 2:00 then at three will start our party. Grace Community Church from Millington will be here to share some joy with us. Every time they come, all the residents enjoy whatever they do for entertainment. And most likely they will have the
seat. Congratulations Daniel and Amy. May God bless you and your little one! What a beautiful weekend we just had! Paula and I went to my brother-in-law and sister-inlaw, Bubba and Maureen Murray’s house on Saturday afternoon for a bonfire, marshmallow and weenie roast. My 2 year old grandson, Aiden roasted a hot dog for me (with a little help from his Mimi of course) and it was probably the best one I’ve ever had, ashes and all. Thanks, Aiden! We also had a family sing along around the campfire. There were lots of old songs that had been taught to the Murray kids by their dads. We were able to visit with a lot of Paula’s family that we don’t get to see very often including Bobby Murray and his family. Bobby played the guitar for us. He is such a talented guitar player and singer. Bobby has been playing since he was around 3 or 4 years old. We had a blast! Thanks
for the hospitality and fun, Bubba and Maureen. On Sunday, February 13, 2011 at 6:30 pm Elm Grove United Methodist Church will be hosting a singing with an add a dish for $5.00. The Fincher Family from Frog Jump, TN will be the featured singing guests. I’ve never heard these singers but I hear they are really good and I’m sure they will be a blessing for all who attend. Everyone is invited so mark it on your calendar. My good friend Joe Boyd loaned me a book recently called “Me and my Likker� by Popcorn Sutton. Marvin “Popcorn� Sutton was an American Appalachian Moonshiner originally from Maggie Valley, North Carolina. He was given the nickname Popcorn after using a pool ball on a popcorn machine that wouldn’t work. Sutton considered the cooking of moonshine part of his heritage and spent his life not only making it, but also hauling it.

Popcorn was caught many times making the illegal whiskey and would brag that there was never a law written about moonshining that he didn’t know about or hadn’t broke. He was featured in a 2007 documentary “Hillbilly: The Real Story� on the History Channel. In 2008 there was another documentary about Popcorn “The Last One�, filmed by Neal Hutcheson. The book has a lot of language in it that I don’t approve of but it tells about a simple man trying to make a living the way his forefathers had done and just wanting people to leave him alone. He enjoyed nature, friends and his life. It was a very interesting read. Thanks for reading and have a good week.

Lady Chargers sneak past Lady Cards
By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com
With 22 seconds left in the game and Covington clinging to a 48-43 against county rival Brighton, Lady Charger Nykie Grandberry missed two free throws, giving the home team hope. Brighton senior Britt Sanford scored with 14 seconds left to trim the lead to two and Brighton fouled. As fate would have it, Grandberry came to the line again. She missed her first attempt, but made her second with seven seconds left to secure a 49-45 Covington win. Late last month Covington lost to Brighton at home in overtime. “We were just trying to focus on playing harder,”
Covington coach Deon Real said. “Brighton’s a great team, but we were just trying to focus on ourselves.” Brighton center Ashia Jones scored 32 points in Brighton’s 62-59 win last month and Terice Burrell hit a 3-pointer in the final seconds of overtime. Covington (14-8) held those players in check for the most part Saturday night, but Brighton kept the game close throughout. Brighton (8-12) led by six points midway through the second quarter before Covington threatened to take control of the game in the third quarter. When Demiah Eaton converted a 3-point play with 4:35 left in the third quarter, the Lady Chargers owned a 31-21 lead. But Brighton made things
interesting down the stretch. Burrell hit a 3-pointer in the closing seconds of the third quarter to trim the lead to five and when Britt Sanford scored with 5:03 left in the game, Brighton led 34-33. Brighton’s Raven Campbell hit a 3-pointer with 1:04 left to pull Brighton within one point, but two free throws from Kamesha Vanpelt and a breakaway basket after a steal by Precious Harvey with 38 seconds left gave Covington a 48-43 lead it would not relinquish. Sanford and Jones led Brighton with 12 points each. Grandberry led Covington with 13 point and Vanpelt finished with nine. Keshana Griggs hit a pair of 3-pointers early in the second quarter and finished with eight points, all in the second half.
“In the second quarter we stopped scoring,” Brighton coach Ronnie Lanier said. “We couldn’t put the ball in the basket. It’s been the story all year. It’s pretty simple. When we do we win. When we don’t we lose.” Brighton’s players wore pink socks. The ball and the referee’s whistles were pink. The Lady Cardinals are raising money for breast cancer awareness and selling T-shirts emblazoned with a “Hoopin it For a Cure” logo.

Cardinals surge past CHS By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com With 3:45 left in the first half and Covington leading Brighton 25-17, the large contingent of Covington fans who had made the 10-minute drive down Highway 51 and filled the visitor’s side of the gym had plenty to cheer about. A bit of revenge for the 86-73 loss two weeks ago in Covington appeared to be in grasp. As things unfolded over the next quarter and a half, it ended up being fool’s gold. Brighton trimmed to the lead to two by halftime and went on a 12-3 early in the fourth quarter to build a 12-point lead. Brighton finished strong to earn a 67-48 win. Cardinal senior Ricky Foster scored eight of his 12 points in the fourth quarter to lead the charge. Demetrius Dyson scored with 4:24 left to give Brighton a 10-point lead, prompting a Covington timeout. But the lead kept ballooning down the stretch. “You take one quarter out, and we played pretty well,” Covington coach Deon Real said. “We started playing too much one-one-one. That was not what we wanted to do. They’re a pretty talented team.”
Dyson had some key buckets down the stretch for Brighton and finished with a game-high 21. Broderick Fayne threw down a dunk late in the third quarter to give Brighton a 34-31 lead and finished with 10. Dexter Moore led Covington with 13 points. Cornelius Edwards added nine for Covington and Jaylon Dyson finished with eight. Brighton moved to 16-6 with the win. First-year Cardinal head coach Jason Morgan said he was happy his team swept Covington, something that has not been accomplished in several years. He had a prepared cryptic statement following the game: “Staring at you from the top of the county. Man we might drop the season if we change hands. Ugh, feels good to be here. Cardinals in the building. Got this thing rebuilt.” The Chargers (17-4) are ranked second in the latest Class 2A Associated Press state poll. Brighton plays in the 3A division. “We’re on the verge or preparing for a state championship,” Real said. “We’re going to see teams long and athletic like Brighton, but maybe not as talented. It’s January 29th, not March. It’s a big rivalry game I know we wanted to win. But there’s a bigger prize out there.”
By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com Two days removed from a loss to county rival Brighton, Covington appeared to have something to prove Monday night at Munford, another county rival. And they didn’t take much in getting their point across, overwhelming the Cougars 17-2 in the first quarter en route to a convincing 64-35 win. “The defense did a good job,” said Covington coach Deon Real, whose team moved to 18-4. “We held them to 12 points in the first half. I think that kind of set the tone for the rest of the game.” Charger senior Demetres Claybon was a big reason for Covington’s early spurt. He hurt the Cougars repeatedly in the first half and finished with a gamehigh 22 points. Jawan Alston added 10 for Coving-

Munford girls avenge loss to Lady Chargers By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com Munford sophomore Kelsey Briggs had a huge game two weeks ago against Covington, but her team came out on the wrong end of a 54-52 score. Monday night in a rematch against the Lady Cougars’ county rivals to the north she didn’t score as many points, but scored when it counted most. Briggs hit a 15-foot jumper with 11 seconds left in the game to give her team a 3736 win. Trailing by one with 16 seconds left, Munford coach Steve Poindexter called timeout. Munford inbounded
the ball at half court and got the ball to Briggs, who took care of the rest. The Lady Cougars deployed a full-court press when Covington got the ball back and the Lady Chargers were unable to get a shot off in the closing seconds. “We were trying to slow them down and keep them from doing what they were trying to do,” Poindexter said. “We trapped them a couple of times, got a loose ball and the clock ran out.” Briggs, who scored 26 points in the loss to Covington, led all scorers again Monday night with 20. Tara Comer finished with seven and Kierra Webb and Shayliah Wiggins each scored
five. Kamesha Vanpelt led Covington with 13 points. Iesha Carruthers added nine and Precious Harvey scored eight. Covington led 14-13 after one quarter and 23-21 at the half. “We just couldn’t score the ball,” said Covington head coach Deon Real, whose team fell to 14-8 on the season. “We had some opportunities to put the game away, but we just couldn’t do it.” Munford took control of the game midway through the fourth quarter, building a seven-point lead. “With four minutes left, it seemed like nobody wanted the ball,” Poindexter said.
“When you have a lead, you need to keep yourself out of that situation.” Munford moved to 1011 on the season. The Lady Cougars get back into league play Friday night at home against Brighton before playing Jackson South Side at Obion County on Friday. Covington hits the road against Milan on Thursday and Crockett County on Friday. “Covington’s a good team,” Poindexter said. “It was a good win for the kids. When you’re young, you need a win like that in a pressure situation. When you find a way to win it, it’s good for the confidence.”
CHS gridiron hosts annual football banquet By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader Hosting a crowd of more than 300 at Oak Grove Baptist Church last Thursday, The Covington Gridiron Association held its annual banquet to honor and recognize the Covington High School Charger football team for its individual and team accomplishments of the season just past. Following a welcome by Association President, Lee Downing, and a buffet dinner catered by the Bald Butcher Restaurant, a succession of speakers including CHS athletic director Mark McClain, cheer sponsors Cindy McClain and CHS coaches, recognized individual players and community members and groups for their contributions to the Charger football program in 2010. In particular, Charger head coach Marty Wheeler announced All Region selections for the 2010 season. Named to the All Region
Honorable Mention (second team) were senior Cordera Olden, juniors James Fields and Walt Downing and sophomore Clayton Click. All Region first team members from CHS selected are senior Martavian Adams, juniors Terrance Pierson and Shelton Lyons and sophomore Carlos Williams. Wheeler also announced that Williams was named to the Commercial Appeal’s All Shelby Metro first team. Coach George Pinner presented senior football manager Collin Pinner with the Ronald E. Smith Scholastic Scholarship. John Thom Williams announced Jake Morris as the recipient of the Gridiron Association’s Richard DeVaughn memorial Scholarship. McClain was presented with a plaque of appreciation for his support by the team and coaches. The senior players presented a game ball to Laura Atkinson for her support of the team during the year.

ton and 10 other Chargers also scored. Munford’s offense struggled throughout the game. Cedric Williams, one of the team’s leading scorers, was held to two points. James Huddleston led the Cougars with seven points. Covington, which is ranked No. 2 in the latest Class 2A Associated Press state poll, led 42-12 at the half before reserves played the majority of the minutes in the final two periods. Munford fell to 5-15 with the loss. The Cougars return to league play Friday at home against Brighton. Covington, which is undefeated (11-0) in league play, will hit the road against Milan on Thursday and Crockett County on Friday. “Overall,” Real said, “I thought we did a good job of guarding. I think that was the difference in the game.”
CHS takes share of crown By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader On the day when the Covington Chargers 19-4 (13-0) moved up to second place in the AP Class AA basketball rankings, they also earned at least a share of the District 13 AA regular season championship with a come from behind 55-54. scratch and claw win at Dyersburg on Tuesday night. How costly the win proves to be remains to be seen. The first half was beyond ugly and way out of balance. Covington was whistled for 16 fouls in the opening half while the Trojans 15-9 (10-3) were called for only four. Charger mentor Dion Real took exception and was nailed with two technical fouls for his complaints at the end of the half, one after the clock had run out. This resulted in his ejection from the game and will cause his suspension for the next two boys games. In the meantime, DHS was building a 33-22 lead to enjoy in the locker room. Coach Real’s players, however, knew the importance of the game and they had their coach’s back. Having had their way with the Trojans in Covington, the Chargers may have taken DHS too lightly in the first half. Not so in the second. The Chargers turned up the defensive pressure forcing 14 DHS turnovers while committing only three of their own. Additionally, CHS outscored the Trojans 33-21 in the half with Dexter Moore getting 13 of his 15 after the break. Covington whittled away at the lead and had trimmed it to 42-39 heading to the fourth period. Demetres Clabon finally pulled the Chargers even at 46 with a long three at the 5:20 mark. Moore gave the Char-
gers their first lead at 4846 with 4:37 remaining. It was tied again at 48 and 50 and Moore would give the Chargers a two point lead each time until he put them ahead 53-50 with the front end of a one and one with 2:13 left. A Trojan basket and a steal and basket by Winn Decker gave DHS a 5453 lead with 43.2 on the clock. The Chargers lost the ball but with time running out Jawan Alston made a steal and drove the court to score giving the Chargers a 55-54 lead with 14.3 seconds left. CHS played outstanding defense slapping the ball away three times thwarting the Trojans scoring attempt to secure an improbable road win. For the game, Dyersburg committed 28 turnovers to CHS’ 16. Note however that the Chargers committed 10 of those in the first quarter. The Trojans made 16 of 23 free throw attempts while the Chargers made 6 of 8 shots. Despite the disparity in fouls, no player was disqualified. Demetres Clabon was the leading scorer with 20 points. Dexter Moore added 15. Jamal Fleming led the Trojans in scoring with 14 points. The Chargers travel to Milan and Crockett Co. on Feb. 3 and 4 respectively and close the regular season at home against the Westview Chargers on Feb. 8. One win in the final three games will secure the District 13 AA regular season championship outright for Covington. Individual scoring: Dyersburg: D J Adams3; T. Graves- 6; W. Decker12; B.

Lady Chargers beat Gibson By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader Dion Real’s Lady Chargers bounced back from a disappointing District 13 AA loss at Haywood on Tuesday with a resounding Senior Night home win on Friday, 43-38, over the twotime defending TSSAA AA Champion Gibson County Lady Pioneers. The win gets CHS 13-8 (7-5) back in the picture for a top four seed in the upcoming district tournament. Neither team was able to muster much offense in the low scoring affair. Tough defense and just plain hardnosed play was the order of the day on both sides. Turnovers were minimal with Gibson Co. committing just 12 and CHS only 14. The Lady Chargers distinguished themselves at the line shooting 71 percent (10/14) until the final minute when the missed 6 of their final 8 attempts to fall back to 55 percent for the game. However, those final two makes by Precious Harvey sealed the win for CHS. The Lady Pioneers went to the stripe only seven times making three for a 43 per-
cent average. Gibson County held a 10-6 lead in the first period before CHS pulled into a 1010 tie at quarter’s end. CHS scored the first two baskets of the second quarter and never trailed again in a game that saw them lead by as much as seven. The Lady Pioneers cut the lead to one on numerous occasions but could get no closer. CHS’ Iesha Carruthers and Gibson Co.’s Alyssa White tied for game scoring honors with 12 points apiece. No other player reached double figures. Charger seniors Jasmine Carruthers, Charlette Payne, Atika Burnett and Ke’Suana Griggs were recognized for their contributions to CHS basketball during Senior Night ceremonies between ball games. Covington plays its final home game on Feb. 8 at 6 p.m. Individual Scoring: CHS: Kamesha Vanpelt6; Jasmine Carruthers- 2; K’Suana Griggs- 2; Precious Harvey- 8; Nykie Grandberry- 2; Iesha Carruthers- 12; Demiah Eaton- 6; Atika Burnett- 2; Janeika Mason- 3

Cleatus is an adorable 8 week old lab-mix. He was recently abandoned in a crate tied to the front of the vet’s office. Dogs 2nd Chance rescued him and had him checked out. He is in good health, neutered, up-to-date on his shots, and ready for his forever home. Cleatus is an outgoing little fellow -- he gets along with people and pets of all ages. Cleatus Won’t you please consider giving him a place to call home? Application and adoption fees apply. Online application: http://www.dogs2ndchance.org/adoption-application

Individuals currently employed as an educational paraprofessional in a special education classroom and who have already completed
4,115 fans and counĆ&#x;ng. Flood coverage. Tournament results.
