SCHOOLS

Board: No need to make up snow days

By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com When winter settles into the area, students, parents and teachers alike keep a weather eye out for that slippery precipitation of snow and ice and the disruptions that follow along with it.

Since Christmas, the Tipton County school calendar in 2011 has been dotted with school closures due to inclement weather.

“It’s always best to err on the side of caution,” said director of schools Tim Fite. snow days “The safety remaining of our students comes before anything else.”

The current state law allows Tipton County schools to stockpile 10 snow days to be built in to the calendar. The days can be used to cancel school if the board of education deems the weather unsafe for travel.

The Tipton County school system is able to do this because school is in session each day 30 minutes past the required seven hours dictated by state law.

As a result of using the snow days, the rest of the calendar remains unchanged up to a certain amount of cancelled school days.

After 10 are used up this year, days will begin being taken from spring break and then will be added on the end of the year.

However, the system is in the clear, so far. Only four school

eather is always a popular topic of conversation - and never more than when Mother Nature greets the South with something its residents aren’t used to.

Tipton County was buzzing this week when snow began falling during the morning commute Monday, prompting a noon dismissal for Tipton County schools. More snowfall, which began midday Wednesday, led to another early dismissal.

Forecasters say this could be the last big snowfall of the season, though.

“There will be a pattern change that I’m expecting to be in place by the end of the week,” said Action News 5 meteorologist Ron Childers. “We likely will not deal with successive cold going into March.”

Prior to Wednesday’s wintry weather, the area had already seen above average snowfall since December. Childers said the average snowfall amount is 5.5 inches; thus far the Memphis area has recorded 6.6 inches, not counting the totals from Wednesday’s event.

The total is higher in Tipton County.

“Tipton County’s seen a little more snow than Memphis,” he said. “On Monday

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com On Sunday, the community will come together in its annual Black History Month celebration at Collins Chapel C.M.E. Church.

Originally started by Carter G. Woodson as Negro History Week in 1926, Black History Month is a time in which

the history and contributions of African-Americans is honored and celebrated.

Collins Chapel’s event, which has been held for many years in Covington, will feature the Rev. Keith Norman of First Baptist Broad Avenue in Memphis as speaker.

In addition to his pastoral duties, Pastor Norman is a much-sought-after guest

speaker, evangelist and lecturer who has an extensive speaking schedule throughout the United States and abroad.

In 2006, he was chosen to join a group of ministers from various areas of the United States to participate in a revival in Guyana, South America. Pastor Norman has also received invitations SEE EVENT, PAGE A3

A night of fine dining and dancing is enjoyable by nearly everyone, yet not many get the chance to get out and partake in one.

This year, the Tipton County Commission on Aging (TCCA) is urging community members to celebrate Valentine’s Day in a uniquely grand manner this year.

On Saturday, Feb. 12, the TCCA is holding its first Valentine’s Day dinner, “A Night to Remember,” at the Covington Chamber Center on the court square.

“We are very excited to do this,” said TCCA Executive Director Molly Egg. “We want to give the community an opportunity to celebrate Valentine’s Day by providing a wonderful, local night out.”

The semi-formal event is kicked off with dinner at 6 p.m. The menu will be developed and prepared by the executive chef team at Billings Bald Butcher.

“We have a great band playing great music,” said Egg. “Plus, the food will be fantastic.”

After dinner is served, dancing will follow and entertainment provided by The Jim Mahannah Band will commence.

Overall, schools meet state standards High schools, middle schools perform better than expected

By TIFFANY HOLLAND tholland@covingtonleader.com Tipton County schools had a few pleasant surprises this year on its report card for the previous school year. The high schools and middle schools scored better than expected according to the benchmarks set for the No Child Left Behind Act. New curriculum standards implemented during the 2009-2010 school year almost guaranteed bad grades for local school systems all across the state. The more challenging curriculum gave students and teachers the unenviable task of catching up on standards set for earlier grades, as well as mastering new material for their current grade all in one year.

The results of this year’s test scores are also compared with the scores from 2008-2009, even though the curriculum and standards were completely different. The Value Added results, which measure

the rate of student learning against the state standards, for the Tipton County middle and elementary schools still maintained higher academic growth than the state average and also showed above average academic achievement as a whole.

All 10 middle and elementary schools combined for better than average state scores. As a group Tipton County students in kindergarten through eighth grade in Value Added academic growth scored a B in math compared to a D with the rest of the state, a C in reading compared to a D with the state, a B in social studies compared to a C by the state, and a C in science compared to a D by the rest of the state schools.

In academic achievement students in kindergarten through eighth grade scored all B’s in math, reading, social studies and science compared to the state’s average of three C’s and a B in social studies.

In spite of the overall positive outcome of a combination of the schools, not all schools met their Adequate Yearly Progress determined by the No Child Left Behind Act. Brighton Middle, Crestview Elementary,

Crestview Middle and Covington Integrated Arts Academy were all placed on the “Target” list as opposed to “Good Standing.” If a school is placed on a “Target” list for three years the school becomes a “High Priority” by the state.

However, just because these schools were named on the “Target” list does not mean that all students – or even the majority of students – did not meet the state academic standards. For example, Brighton Middle and CIAA students met the AYP in every area except for students with disabilities. However, since it is a law to test disabled students along with the rest of the student body, and this one group of students does not meet the state standards, the entire school is affected scoring-wise. Therefore, these two schools were placed on the “Target” list even though only one portion of students did not perform to state standards.

Crestview Elementary and Crestview Middle Schools had the worst results from economically disadvantaged students, but met federal benchmarks with the other students in each grade. Both schools have been in good standing for the past two years.

Tipton County schools are in good standing overall. To check the schools standings and individual test scores for each school, parents can go to www.tn.gov.education/reportcard and click on the Report Card link on the left.

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.”

Though he’s donated approximately $30,000 in dental services to the community ever year,

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 currently in progress. Wrather said the first drawing will be conducted on April 1.

The winner will be contacted by phone, email or postal mail.

Entrants are asked to submit letters – including name, address, home and cell phone numbers and email address – to Wrather Dental Center, 720 W. Sherrod Avenue, Covington, TN 38019.

DAYS

Continued from A1 days have been canceled due to inclement weather, involving snow and/or ice. Indeed, there have been two days in which school was dismissed early, but not early enough to cause a full day’s loss.

The Tipton County Board of Education takes every precaution possible in deciding whether conditions are permissible or not. Officials check with the National Weather Service as well as Tommy Dunavant and the Emergency Management Agency while sending out the city’s own representatives to check conditions as they unfold.

“We look in as many places as we can to make the best decision,” said director of schools Tim Fite.

“Regarding Monday’s early dismissal, the weather service told us that the snow would accumulate only on the grass, but obviously that wasn’t the case.”

Additionally, the board checks with the Highway Patrol as the weather develops and with hourly forecast update from memphis weather services, gaining their input as well.

“We want the buses to take our students home when it is safest outside,” said Fite. “It takes hours to get the buses to the schools, to pick up the students and take them home. In this past Monday’s case, after conditions worsened than what was expected we felt it best to dismiss school at noon.

As a result, the buses finished their routes around 3 p.m., the time at which road conditions were best.

We won’t let the buses out in the middle of a snow storm. It’s best to wait it out and, on Monday, that proved to be the best thing.”

And though we’ve had more snow, the region has had below average liquid precipitation - that is, rainfall.

“We’re about 5.5 inches below average from December to now,” Childers said.

The cooler temperatures will soon end and highs in the upper 50s and low 60s expected early next week.

Childers said he believes the milder pattern will stay in place through the end of the month.

Nurses recognized at Baptist-Tipton

By Cindy Roberts Special to The Leader COVINGTON — On Jan. 21, nurses at Baptist – Tipton were honored with The Daisy Award for Extraordinary Nurses.

The award is part of the DAISY Foundation’s program to recognize the super-human efforts nurses perform everyday.

The first award recipient was Pennie Cross, RN, BSN. “Pennie Cross is the most caring, considerate, calm, professional nurse I have ever met. When it’s time to have empathy she is so deliberate in her calm quiet voice," said the patient who nominated her for the award.

There is no false caring, she truly loves her job and what she does reflects it. As a charge nurse nothing ever rattles her demeanor. Pennie will stand by a grieving family member for as long as the need is there.

When she is on shift there is a rare time that you might see her sit

down, she is a go getter no matter how big or small a need might be.

Pennie is the nurse that you want taking care of you or your family. I know for a fact I would.

She is also excellent in every aspect of nursing,” said award presenters The not-for-profit DAISY Foundation is based in Glen Ellen, CA, and was established by family members in memory of J. Patrick Barnes.

Patrick died at the age of 33 in late 1999 from complications), an unfamiliar but not uncommon auto-immune disease.

The care Patrick and his family received from nurses while he was ill inspired this unique means of thanking nurses for making a profound difference in the lives of their patients and patient families.

Each quarter, a nurse will be selected by Baptist – Tipton nursing administration to receive The DAISY Award.

At a presentation given in front of the nurse’s colleagues, physicians,

patients, and visitors, the honoree will receive a certification commending her or him on being an “Extraordinary Nurse.”

The certificate reads: “In deep appreciation of all you do, who you are, and the incredibly meaningful sculpture called A Healer’s Touch, handcarved by artists of the Shona Tribe in Africa.

One day while Pat was in the hospital, he asked his family to bring him a Cinnabon ® cinnamon roll plus enough for all the nurses in his unit. With the help of Cinnabon’s parent company, FOCUS Brands, The DAISY Foundation carries on this tradition by serving Cinnabons to all the Nurses in the Award recipient’s unit in thanks for everything they do for their patients and families.

Said Bonnie Barnes, President and Co-Founder of The Daisy Foundation, “When Patrick was critically ill, our family experienced first-hand the remark-

able skill and care nurses provide patients every day Pennie Cross and night.

Yet these unsung heroes are seldom recognized for the super-human work they do. The kind of work the nurses at Baptist – Hospital are called on to do every day epitomizes the purpose of The DAISY Award.”

Said Chief Nursing Officer, Shelia Fleming, “We are proud to be among the hospitals participating in the DAISY Award program. Nurses are heroes everyday.

Given the current national nursing shortage, The DAISY Award could not be launched at a better time. It’s important that our nurses know their work is highly valued, and The DAISY Foundation provides a way for us to do that.”

Will “Good” People Be Lost?

By Rick Huffman One of the most clearly taught facts in the Bible but one we fail to grasp is that most people will be lost. (Matthew 7:13-14) Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (KJV) Most of us have identified lost people with murderers, adulterers, rapists and the like. We may be surprised as to whom God’s Word includes in the list of the lost.

Most people think if they are “good,” they will be saved, but is that necessarily so? A case, in point, is Cornelius. Look how the Bible describes him: “A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always.” (KJV) (Acts 10:2) I dare say that almost any church in the county would welcome him into their fellowship and consider his relationship to God not only acceptable but admirable. He would be considered “good enough” to be a member of their church. But though he may be good enough for most churches today, he was lost, yet in his sins. As the world measures goodness, he may have been good but he was not good enough for God to save in his present condition. The Lord told Cornelius to send to Joppa and get Peter to tell him what to do to be saved (Acts 10;3-6,11:13-14). Cornelius recognized (believed) he was lost because he sent to Joppa as instructed.

After hearing the gospel, he obeyed it and was baptized so that he could be saved (Acts 10:47-48).

It is not good enough to be religious, we must be religiously correct. It is not enough to be a “good” citizen, neighbor, parent, child, etc. God’s Word and it alone, no other creed, confession or catechism, has the power to save.

(Romans 1:16) We can only be saved by being obedient to God and His Word. (Hebrew 5:8-9). Jesus said, “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” John 14:15. We are not to keep the commandments that we think, we hope, we feel, are right but are to keep HIS commandments and this is the PROOF of our love and the only way we will be accepted.

The Lord Jesus also tells us of “good” people being lost.

Look as he describes the day of judgment for us. (Matthew 7:22-23) Many will say to me in that day (the judgment day), Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and

This Devotional & Directory is made possible by these businesses who encourage all of us to attend worship services

in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Who are these people that Jesus is describing? They are not rapists, murderers, thieves and such like. These are “God-fearing, church-going, religious” folks who are doing what they feel is right. The Lord does not deny their “good” works, so wherein lies the problem? Jesus has identified the problem in the preceding verse. (Matthew 7:21) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

The problem is two fold: 1) Their service is lip serviceNot everyone that says Lord, Lord. There is a difference in claiming to be (or saying we are) a Christian and really being one. Who the world considers and God accepts as a Christian are two completely different things. 2) They are not doing the will of the Lord. They are religious, they are following someone’s will (maybe their own or some other man’s or that of a man made organization) but it is not God’s. Their worship is vain, empty, worthless like that of the Pharisees of Jesus’ time. (Matthew 15: 8-9) This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

We cannot follow a man-made religion or man-made teachings and be saved. Similarly following a religion of our own choosing or making may result in us being “good” people in the estimation of many but it is not acceptable to God. Paul tells of those who deprive the body and abstain from things the Lord does not require. He condemns their appearance of religion and says they in fact are practicing will worship- following their own will. (Col. 2:20-23) It’s a fact that people we may consider “good” are lost.

This is a sad fact. Sadder still is the fact that these people like those Jesus describes on the judgment day are oblivious to that fact. What to do? Know the book, follow it and it only. Find out for yourself what it says. Remember: “He that rejecteth me (Jesus), and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.” (John 12:48) Rick Huffman is an elder for the Gilt Edge Church of Christ located at 10726 Hwy 59 W, Gilt Edge.

Hi everyone, Apparently many of our prayers are not being heard.

Mine included. Snow, snow, snow. My prayers have been, “Please dear Lord, no more snow, at least for a while.” I know there is a master plan and it's always in our best interest. For me, it's just hard trying to be content staying at home. I am not a TV watcher.

When the work is all done, “go” is the word. Retirement is for the birds. That brings up a good subject. Birds are a sheer joy to watch. We have bird feeders around the house and they are on the ground constantly. At the kitchen window you may see 10 doves at a time and a variety of different kinds of bird. We saw both the male

A lot of good stuff can happen, between today, Feb. 10, and Monday, Feb. 14. So, stop with all those excuses. Jump in your cars and get your special girl that very special Valentine's gift. After all, wasn't it you who once acclaimed from the bottom of your heart that you wanted her to be your Valentine?

Now that she is all that and more, do it right!

And oh yes, same thing, girls and ladies, he's the same guy that stole your heart. Well, he may have gained a few extra pounds around the midsection; so, have all of us!

Happy Valentine's Day! Jamestown Community Health Organization (JCHO) will sponsor a health fair on Feb. 19 starting around 9 a.m. at the center (Old Miller's Store) on Jamestown Road. There will be plenty to keep you busy; healthful information all of us need, plus fun, games and lots of healthy foods!

At least we did not get what the northeast coast and Chicago got last week. I remember one year, I think it was in 1968, when we got 18 inches in March. Again, one day at a time, dear Lord.

Last week we went up to Ripley to see Louise Turner Dungy. She is a Brighton friend of ours. She will be 98 years young this year and still doing those crossword puzzles.

On the way back, we stopped to see Miss Dorothy McDaniels at the Covington Care center.

She is also in her 90s. She is Charlie's aunt by marriage to his uncle Jim McDaniels. Visiting these precious people give those of us in our 60s and 70s a lot of hope. Our aches and

weather permits. President Mary Burton would just love for you all to come!

March 26 is the day for our second fundraiser, “It Takes Ten.” This time our location is the Covington County Club in Covington. Contact people are Gwen Cooke, public relations chair, and Pam Cobbs Springfield, program committee chair.

Hope to see you all there!

In closing, another reminder.

Valentine's Day is this coming Monday, Feb. 14. Charlie has already got mine. I helped him pick it out. I thought I needed a new plant for the kitchen instead of roses. So he got me a new peace lily. They are so pretty when all the lilies open.

Before closing, let's pray for all the trouble in Egypt. I'm afraid we take some of our freedom in the United States for granted.

Super Bowl XLV, in which the Green Bay Packers defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers, 31-25, was the mostwatched American television show in history. The telecast averaged 111,000,000 viewers. The previous record was set 2010 by Super Bowl XLIV. They say that over two-thirds of everyone watching TV on Sunday night watched the Super Bowl.

My son-in-law Alex is a Steelers fan and I haven’t spoken with him, but I suspect that he was highly disappointed as were many Steelers fans.

Is there anyone out there that’s not tired of the cold and snow?

Well I know the children love it.

I’ve heard parents talking about the snow rituals that children per-

form to make it snow. If you’ve never heard of these rituals just ask a child. Anyhow, if that is what’s causing all this snow children please stop wearing your pajamas inside out, putting spoons under your pillows, running counter clockwise around tables and flushing ice cubes down the toilet.

Almost all of us adults are ready for a break. I’ll sure be glad when spring gets here.

Have you been keeping up with what’s going on in Egypt? I don’t know what to think about it all.

I hear some of the stories of how horrible life is for the people over there and how bad their economy is, then I hear that the ones that are behind this protest are bad ones.

Who are we supposed to believe?

There is always turmoil in the Middle East but lately it has intensified. First there was a revolution in Tunisia. Now people are taking to the streets in Egypt. Then there’s Syria and Yemen protesting against their governments. We are certainly living in chaotic times.

Greetings from Mt. Carmel, where we’re experiencing our fourth big snowfall of 2011. School was finally called off at noon today; hope all the children and buses made it home safely. I think we’ve got at least four inches, maybe more, and there was a small chance that we’d get any! Big storm coming Wednesday but maybe it’ll weaken by then!

Thanks to all who missed the column last week. I was gone Friday until Wednesday to Nashville, first to a Tennessee Association of Conservation Districts Convention, Friday through noon on Sunday, then the National Convention started and went through Wednesday afternoon. We kept our rooms across from the Gaylord Opryland Hotel that we had for the state convention and caught the shuttle over there for meetings, meals, trips and other entertainment.

Saturday night five buses of us attended the Opry at the Ryman, church pews and all.

I'm glad to say that we now have our heaters working correctly at the town hall. Now if we could only get our roof to stop leaking we could start letting people use the building again. In case you didn’t know we have been advised by our insurance company not to rent the building until the roof is fixed.

Don’t forget about Valentine's Day on Monday, Feb. 14th. Make sure you get something or better yet, do something special for your sweet heart.

I would like to say late Happy Birthday to my brother John Wayne, his wife Tina Kellum and my friend Stanley Lawrence who all celebrated birthdays last week.

Hope you had great ones.

After General Session Monday two buses of us visited The Hermitage and on Tuesday, General Session, lunch and a tour of the Opryland Botanical Gardens. And lots of "break-out" sessions.

The big banquet and auction were high points of the week and on Wednesday two buses of us went to the Jack Daniels Distillery and ate lunch at Miss Mary Bobo’s in Lynchburg. It was super cold that day!

I left at 4:15 p.m., hit a traffic snag on the interstate immediately, and got to church at 7:45 p.m., just as classes were letting out. Good to sleep in my own bed!

Seven women enjoyed the Ladies First Friday Dinner and Movie Night, eating in Atoka and then some of us saw “Country Strong” while others went to "The Green Hornet." Nice night!

However, as good as they were, it's congratulations to the Super Bowl 45 champions, the Green Bay Packers. Of course, my twin sons, Sherman

and Therman Boddie, are all over it with this win, being they are and will always be Green Bay Packer fans! And as a Steeler fan (a lifetime one) Aunt Gloria Sherrill said, “At least out of all of the other NFL teams, we are number 2!”

That's all for now. Remember, “Nobody ever loses, when it's teamwork!”

Until next time...

Hi folks, My eye sight is getting better. I go again on Feb. 22 to have the holes repaired in my right eye. Not only have I had eye problems, but I have had ear problems again. I am on meds for my ear problems.

We at RUMC were all shocked at the death of Ed and Bertha Walker. What a shock this was to all of us. We are so thankful that they caught the murderer.

We also had another death. Dorothy Cook, Barney Mills mother.

So we have all been busy cooking

and baking.

The following came to me via internet from our former pastor's wife, Becky Yoder.

Someone had to remind me, so I'm reminding you too. Don''t laugh. It is all true.

Perks of reaching 50 or being over 60 and heading towards 70!!

1. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.

2. In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first.

3. No one expects you to run anywhere.

4. People call at 9 pm and ask, did I wake you?

5. People no longer view you as a hy-

pochondriac.

6. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.

7. Things you buy now won't wear out.

8. You can eat supper at 4:00 p.m.

9. You get into heated arguments about pension plans.

10. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.

11. You quit trying to hold your stomach in no matter who walks into the room.

12. You sing along with elevator music.

13. Your eyes won't get much worse.

14. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.

15. Your joints are more accurate than

meteorologists at the National Weather Service.

16. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either.

17. Your supply of brain cells is finallty down to manageable size. And NEVER, under any Circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

Prayers for: Patra Ballard, Lois Conger, John Downing, Edna Downing, Dell Fergerson, Evelyn Griffin, Mary Moore, Zadie Pugh, Mildred Wiseman, & Charlene Lott.

Love and prayers.

Westview nips Lady Chargers at buzzer Griggs had just given the Lady Chargers with 3.5 ticks left on the clock.

Neither team could find the bucket in the first period that ended with Westview leading 9-6.

The second was hardly better as both squads continued to struggle.

Covington managed only six in the frame and went to the locker room down 19-12.

Coach real got his players attention at the half and they came out on fire doubling Westview in scoring in the third to take a 30-28 lead to the final period.

By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader

Dion Real’s Lady Chargers 16-11 (9-7) are snake bit.

Close games have eluded them this season on too regular a basis.

Such was the case with Tuesday’s regular season finale as the Westview Lady Chargers 18-9 (10-5) pulled out a 47-46 win on a 24 foot three pointer by Breanna Pitcher as time expired.

It was Pitcher’s and Westview’s second long ball of the game and it erased atwo-point lead that CHS senior Ke’Suana

Unable to connect from beyond the arc in the first half, CHS drained six long balls in the second.

Griggs and Nykie Grandberry had three each to pace Covington.

The Lady Chargers marked their largest lead at 44-39 with 2:32 remaining.

Two turnovers, a basket and foul shots allowed Westview to tie the game at 44 with 39 seconds left.

CHS wound the clock down and Griggs was fouled attempting a three with 3.5 left. She made two of three attempts to put CHS up by two at

46-44.

Westview in-bounded the ball to mid-court and called time out with 2.3 left and then came Pitcher’s heroics as the horn sounded.

Westview’s Teddy Vincent was the leading scorer with 20 points, all in the paint. Pitcher had 13 for Westview including the game winner. Griggs closed out her Lady Charger home career leading CHS in scoring with 17 points.

Westview shut down CHS’s bigs down low for the difference in the game. The backcourt produced only eight points.

early on. His game high 15 points came all in the first half with 12 of them via the three ball.

The Cavaliers 9-12 (4-10) managed to heed their coach’s admonition to “not let him (Clabon) touch the (expletive deleted) ball” after the second period.

Devin Wakefield added 14 points for CHS. Jawan Alston had 11 for the Chargers in one of his better games of late.

No Cavalier reached double figures. Calvin Fields led Crockett Co. with 8 points.

Turnovers were about even in the game with Crockett Co. committing 18 and CHS 14.

Following the strain of Thursday night’s narrow win at Milan, Covington made short work of the Crockett County Cavaliers on Friday evening in a 72-39 mercy rule win at Alamo to set up their attempt for a perfect District 13 AA season on Tuesday night at home against Westview.

The Chargers 21-4 (15-0) were never challenged as a nine-point first quarter lead grew to 20 at the half as many as 28 in the third and 40 in the fourth.

Demetres Clabon was afire from the outside

Neither team fared well at the line. The Cavaliers shot just 47 percent (9/19). Covington was only marginally better at 54 percent (12/22).

Individual scoring: Crockett Co.: H. Lowery- 2; E. Shaw- 5; D. Nash- 3; W. Edwards- 7; R. Branson- 3; J. Mosier7; G. Douglas- 2; C. Fields- 8; B.

After the first round, all subsequent games will be played at Dyersburg High School.

It is a single elimination tournament. The top two teams advance to regional play.

Lady Chargers blow past Crockett County

Chargers demolish Cavaliers

By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader

Turnovers were at a minimum with Westview committing 12 and CHS only nine.

The foul line was once again the bane of the Lady Chargers. They were 5 of 11 (45 percent) at the charity stripe and only 4 of 10 in the second half.

Westview was hardly any better connecting on 6 of 11 attempts (54percent).

The Lady Chargers will have the fifth seed for the upcoming District 13 AA tournament, which runs from Feb. 14-23.

They will play an opening round game at

By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader The Covington Lady Chargers only added to the woes of the Crockett County Lady Cavaliers 2010-11 season as they handed them a 25-point, 59-34 loss at Alamo on Friday night.

It gave CHS their ninth District 13 AA win assuring the Lady Chargers 16-10 (9-7) of their first winning district season in several years.

It was never really close as Covington outscored Crockett in every quarter.

Ke’Suana Griggs had

another good shooting night from the outside and Iesha Carruthers made her presence felt on the blocks as they led CHS and the game in scoring with 14 and 20 points respectively.

Bo Sullivan was tops for Crockett Co. with 10 points.

The Lady Chargers continued to play solid pressure defense forcing 17 lady Cavalier turnovers while committing only seven of their own.

The free throw line was again problematic for Covington.

They get there a lot but do not hit them with

regularity.

CHS shot just 45 percent at the stripe making only 10 of 22 attempts.

Crockett Co. was much better at 73 percent making 11 of 15.

Individual scoring: Crockett Co.: N. Richardson1; K. Williamson2; B. Sullivan- 10; D. Brasfield3; L. Byrd- 9; N. Bernard8; M. Steele- 1 CHS: Ke’Suana Griggs14; Precious Harvey- 6; TaSheena Adams- 2; Iesha Carruthers- 20; Demiah Eaton- 7; Atika Burnett4; Janeika mason- 6

Chargers get scare but claim district crown in close game was a nail-biting, hairpuller that was finally secured when Demetres Clabon dropped the second of two free throws with .4 ticks on the clock to give CHS a 53-48 win and the district crown.

The Chargers looked to be on cruise control running out to an 18-6 lead after the first quarter.

The game turned in the second as CHS starter’s fouls began to mount with the Bulldogs getting into the double bonus at the 3:55 mark. Outscoring the Chargers by seven in the period, Milan closed the gap to five at the half, 28-23, and had the momentum going to the locker room.

By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader At times the things you desire the most are the hardest to get.

The second ranked Covington Chargers 20-4 (14-0) arrived in Milan 3-19 (0-13) on Thursday night needing a win over the lowly Bulldogs to clinch the District 13 AA regular season title and the number one seed in the upcoming District tournament.

In the back of their minds had to be their 30-point, 30 turnover, home blowout of the Bulldogs on Dec. 7. in the bag.

Not on your Nellie. It

The Bulldogs came out on the offensive in the third period and briefly took the lead at 29-28 with 5:40 left.

Covington relied too much on the three ball early in the period.

Acting head coach, Courtney Smith, who worked and prepared with the team this week, calmed them down with a time out and CHS went on a 12-3 run that put them up 41-34 with Milan calling time-out at 3:02.

The Bulldogs would close the third on a 5-0

run to trail 41-39 going to the fourth.

In the final frame, the t e a m s swapped b u c k ets until Clabon broke a 48-48 tie with 1:26 on the clock giving CHS a 50-48 lead.

Clabon rebounded a missed Bulldog attempt at a tie and was fouled.

He made the front end of a one and one to push the Charger lead to 51-48 with 31.2 seconds left.

Milan came to the frontcourt and unable

Health & Fitness Top nutritional company with world’ s most famous doctor seeks 2 key people in health and fitness industry. Flexible hrs. $125,000 / yr + Car Bonus Call (888) 363-3879 Part-time Music/Worship Leader needed for local church. Position will include duties of: leading worship music on Sunday mornings and Sunday nights; practicing with and directing choir and band. Please email resume to: cbcbrighton@aol. com Seeking new Bail Bonding agents.

Get qualified through us today!! 40% commision paid daily. Contact Advanced Bail Bonding. 901-4893657 HELP WANTED. If you’ re an experienced bookkeeper and you’ re not afraid of hard work, high pressure and constant interruptions, we urge you to apply for our position of fulltime office manager. Knowledge of Microsoft Exel and good computer proficiency are critical and some background with account receivable software is very helpful. This is a very fast- paced and deadline driven environment that requires someone who can juggle many tasks and be focused on providing accurate data to employees and the public. Duties include, but are not limited to, working with the public, accounts payable and receivable, payroll and other general offices duties. Must be able to work well without direction by being focused on daily, weekly and monthly deadlines at all times. Hours are 8-5 Monday through Friday.

Compensation is around $20,000 annually with a competitive benefits package (15 days per year of paid time off, BC/BS insurance with a good contribution from the company and seven free holidays). Resumes will be received by email only at helpwanted@covingtonleader. com mailto:publisher@covingtonleader.com . No phone calls will be accepted under anycircumstances.

Think Small Think Classified

The Leader, a 125-year-old weekly newspaper, is accepting applications for a full-time staff writer. Pay is $22,000 annually to the fearless soul who’s not afraid of hard work, deadline pressure, and who wants to write and photograph the stories Tipton County residents want to read. We’re a small newspaper, so being able to handle multiple jobs is critical. In addition to writing six stories per week, the right candidate will photograph sports, news, politics and features and be willing to typeset as needed and assist with laying out the newspaper. Computer proficiency is a must and skill with Indesign and Photoshop and some page design skill are beneficial. We’re not a bureaucratic operation with hours to sit and ponder the proper choice of verbs or debate the finer points of whether a bar graph or a pie chart would be most beneficial; we need it done quickly and we need it done right. This is no job for a “specialist.” With three newsroom employees, our folks have to do it all and be good stewards of the newspaper’s reputation.

Being friendly in the community is critical. Preference is given to local residents, though applications from neighboring counties (North Shelby, Haywood, Lauderdale, etc.) will be considered. Night and weekend work come with the territory, though the hours are mostly M-F, 8-5. Sorry, no telecommuters or special accommodations for unique schedules.

We need you around when we’re doing business. Good benefits: seven paid holidays, 15 days of paid time off (sick or vacation), plus a nice Blue Cross/- Blue Shield package and a 401(k) are available to the right person. If you’re trying to cut your teeth in journalism, or if you’re a talented and hardworking writer who’s looking for a job in the area (due to relocation, career change, a layoff, etc.) and you’re willing to work hard, you will be considered.

PLEASE: Absolutely no calls, visits or emails. Submit your resume via email with a brief cover letter (MS Word, text, PDF or cut and paste directly into the email) to helpwanted@covingtonleader.com .

Cardinals complete sweep of Munford

By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com

About two weeks ago, Brighton head coach Jason Morgan sensed his team was hitting a midseason slump. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I challenged the guys,â&#x20AC;?

Morgan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told them the postseason was coming up. It was time to pick it up.â&#x20AC;?

The players appear to have listened. Brighton used a balanced attack and a strong run that spanned the second and third quarters to defeat Munford 7242 Friday night on the road, completing a season sweep of the Cougars and securing itself at least a two seed in

next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s District 13-AAA Tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we picked it up a little bit,â&#x20AC;? Morgan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do that a little more as we go.â&#x20AC;?

Brighton (19-6 overall, 5-1 District 13-AAA) saw a 10-point first quarter lead shrink to seven with 2:26 left in the second quarter.

But in the closing seconds of the first half Ricky Foster came up with a blocked shot that lead to a dunk by Broderick Fayne with two seconds left to give the Cardinals a 35-23 lead.

When Tray Johnson hit a 3-pointer with 2:15 left in the third quarter, Brighton concluded an 18-3 run that gave the Cardinals a com-

manding 46-24 lead.

Johnson, who scored seven points in the third quarter, and Moses Harper each had 10 points for Brighton.

Fayne led the Cardinals with 12 points and Demetrius Dyson finished with nine.

Munford, which fell to 5-14 overall and 1-5 in district play, struggled to score most of the night and committed 22 turnovers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the story of our year,â&#x20AC;? Munford coach Tim Halford said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re young and we just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t score â&#x20AC;Ś I know it will change at some point. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get older and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get better. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a lot of close games this year. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just

got to find a way to win them.â&#x20AC;?

Terrell Mills led Munford with seven points, all of which came in the fourth quarters. No one else score more than five.

Munford will host Hardin County on Friday night.

If Munford wins of loses by less than 11, it will host the district tournament play-in game.

Brighton will host district frontrunner Dyer County on Friday. Brighton would have to beat the Choctaws by more than 16 points to earn the top seed in the district tournament.

Lady Cardinals secure key win at Munford

By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com There was quite a bit on the line Friday night in Munford.

Before the game started, the Lady Cardinals and the Lady Cougars were angling to avoid playing in the dreaded district tournament play-in game, a do-ordie contest that pits the bottom two teams in the league standings.

Brighton (10-13 overall, 4-2 district) got a huge fourth quarter from senior point guard Britt Sanford to pull out a 47-39 District 13-AAA win, guaranteeing itself at least a three seed in next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s district tournament, which will be held in Brighton.

Munford (11-12, 2-5) will be seeded third or fourth, depending on its home game against Hardin County on Friday.

The top four seeds in the district tournament automatically advance to the region tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the region no matter what,â&#x20AC;? said Brighton head coach Ronnie Lanier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These girls have fought hard for every game.â&#x20AC;?

Friday night against Munford was no different.

Brighton led 11-2 after one quarter and appeared in control of the game, but Munford came back to make things interesting.

Munfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shaliyah Wiggins drove into the lane and scored in the closing seconds of the third quarter to

MHS retires Nathaniel's jersey

By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com There have been a lot of good players in the history of Munford High School basketball.

But until Friday night, no oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jersey had been retired.

That is no longer the case.

During halftime of Friday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Munford-Brighton boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; basketball game, Nathanielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s orange No. 53 jersey was unveiled on the north wall of the gym. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One group I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go without thanking is my teammates,â&#x20AC;?

Nathaniel said during a speech to the crowd assembled Friday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reason Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m standing here is they had the confidence in me to pass me the ball.â&#x20AC;?

Nathaniel enjoyed an impressive prep and collegiate

basketball career.

He was named All-District and All-Region his junior year in 1977 and was District MVP and All-State his senior season.

During a storied career at Lambuth University he was an NAIA All-American and became the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-time leading rebounder and second all-time scorer. He also played professionally overseas.

Nathaniel was an assistant principal at Munford High School for several years before taking a job at the Tipton County Court School, where he still works. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a key leader in our community as a player, coach and administrator,â&#x20AC;? said Munford principal Darry Marshall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the most important reason heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s here tonight is because of the man he is.â&#x20AC;?

Brighton senior Britt Sanford goes up for an oďŹ&#x20AC;-balance shot as Munford's Kesley Briggs defends. Sanford scored 13 of her game-high 23 in the fourth quarter Friday night to lead her team to a 47-39 win in Munford. . Photo by Fred Brooks

give her team a 29-27 lead heading into the final eight minutes.

Brighton led by two with 3:12 left before going on an 11-4 run to finish off Munford.

Sanford was the biggest reason for the surge, scoring 13 of her game-high 24 in the final quarter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Britt found her stroke there in the fourth quarter,â&#x20AC;?

Lanier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be honest, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been kind of streaky the last four games. She stepped her game up and did what she had to do to win.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were giving up wide open shots to their best player,â&#x20AC;? Brighton coach Steve Poindexter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen.â&#x20AC;?

Sophomore Kelsey Briggs

led Munford with 16 points, 13 of which came in the second half. Nevertheless, Lanier thought the defensive job Ashia Jones did on Briggs was huge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She found her points for sure,â&#x20AC;? Lanier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But she made her fight for them. The difference in the game was the defense No. 32 played.â&#x20AC;?

Jones finished with 11 points for Brighton and Terice Burrell added nine.

Munford held a lead on four different occasions, the last of which came with 6:07 left in the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They out-hustled us from beginning to end,â&#x20AC;?

Poindexter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Loose balls. On the boards. It was just hustle. They just wanted it more than we did.â&#x20AC;?

TRA's Moskovitz signs with Union University

By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com Tipton-Rosemark Academy senior Whitney Moskovitz will take her soccer talents to Union University next year.

In front of family and Friends last Thursday, Moskovitz inked a scholarship to the Jackson, Tenn.

School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very excited about what Whitney will bring to Union both and off the field,â&#x20AC;? said Union coach Brandon Boylan. â&#x20AC;&#x153; I know

God has a plan for her and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud to be a part of that for at least the next four years.â&#x20AC;?

Moskovitz played for two years at Arlington High School before transferring to TRA for her senior season.

She was named team MVP and named All-District at TRA. As a youth Moskovitz played for the Bartlett Strikers.

She has compiled a 4.0 high school GPA and posted a 29 on her ACT.

Chargers run table in district race

By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader The Covington Chargers have done accomplished a feat that none of their predecessors can claim, an undefeated regular season in District 13 AA play. CHS 22-4 (16-0) and ranked second in Class AA battled back from a 12 point second period deficit to claim a hard- fought 64-60 victory over the fifth ranked Westview Chargers at Castellaw Gym on Tuesday to propel them toward next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s District 13 AA tournament.

As the first seed, the Chargers will host an opening round game on Feb. 15 against an opponent yet to be determined. All other games will be at Dyersburg High School in the single elimination tournament.

Turnovers were the story of the first period for CHS. They committed six and played sloppy defense, which led to a 22-14 Westview lead at quarterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end.

Demetres Clabon, who led all scorers on the night with 25 points, kept Covington in the game with 10 points in the period.

Coach Real got the attention of his players on offense and defense during the quarter break. Covington forced 10 Westview turnovers in the second period while committing only four of their own. They also outscored the visiting Chargers 20-8 in the quarter to take a 34-30 lead to the locker room.

Covington enjoyed its

largest lead of the game at 46-39 with just over two minutes left in the third period but Westview came roaring back on the strong play of super-quick sophomore guard Jazell Baker to cut the lead to 46-42 going to the fourth. He would pace Westview with 19 points, 11 from the free throw line.

The fans were on their feet for the majority of the final frame due to the fast and furious action. After taking a 49-44 lead, CHS would see it slip away on a three by Westviewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dillon Gardner at the 4:52 mark as they fell behind 50-49. That was the first of 10 lead changes to occur over the next 3:44 until Bakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two free throws at the 1:08 mark knotted the score at 60. Jawan Alston made what proved to be the game winner on a stickback with 32.3 on the clock.

Baker was fouled with 23.3 remaining but missed on two free tosses. Clabon rebounded, was fouled and connected on 2 from the line for the final margin.
