Confession made in postal killings Father of slain carjacker says he, son were involved in October murders

By BRIAN BLACKLEY bblackley@covingtonleader.com

F

riday’s arraignment of Chastain Montgomery Sr., the father of the man killed in the Valentine’s Day shoot-out in Mason, brought no new information about his potential role in the murders of Judy Spray and Paula Croom Robinson at the Henning Post Office on Oct. 18, 2010.

Four months to the day after those murders, Tipton County

General Sessions Judge William A. Peeler denied bond for Montgomery, noting that after discussions with Tipton County Sheriff “Pancho” Chumley, “additional charges are likely forthcoming.” Peeler went on to say bond would be withheld.

The 47-year-old grandfather of 140 Wolverine Trail, LaVergne, Tenn., a Nashville suburb, walked quietly into the courtroom in an orange prison jumpsuit, with his shaggy, disheveled hair standing

out as his most distinguishing feature. He stood quietly, only speaking when addressed by the judge.

He told Peeler, when asked about getting an attorney, “My family is gonna get me an attorney,” absolving the state from the responsibility of providing him with one.

It was a bad week for Montgomery whose son, Chastain Montgomery Jr., was shot to death at the intersection of Highways 59 and 70 in Mason after leading law enforcement officers on a high speed chase out of Haywood County after he was located in a stolen car from Nashville.

It is alleged that Montgomery, seeing his son killed in the shoo-

Home destroyed by fire

By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com COVINGTON – Diane Robinson and her son awoke on Tuesday morning minutes before 8 a.m. to a fire in their house at 444 Garland Avenue in Covington.

The Covington Fire Department arrived on the

scene at approximately 8:02 a.m. and battled the blaze until about 10:45 a.m.

Robinson and her son reportedly got out of bed upon hearing a noise in their house. After a little searching, the two found that a fire had started and had begun to spread.

After the two exited the

house, sources say that a neighbor called 911.

The CFD claims that the source of the fire was pinpointed to the clothes dryer and was probably caused by lint build-up.

Chief Jerry Craig reported the incident to be a total loss for Robinson who had no insurance.

BOOKS

Native pens psychological thriller

By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com Time and time again, the resources and culture of Tipton County seem to yield professionals capable of working from an array of talents and abilities.

One such individual is Covington native and Holmes School alumnus Melinda Clayton, currently of Orlando, Fla. Her critically acclaimed novel, Appalachian Justice, has been well-received since its e-book release in October 2010 and print release in December, 2010.

Appalachian Justice is a story of hope, redemption, and second chances. The action unfolds in a tiny, fictitious coal-mining village outside of Huntington, W.Va. The book chronicles the life of Billy May Platte, a woman who was brutally attacked as a young girl by three local boys, after her sexuality was called into question. After living in seclusion for the better part of 30 years, Billy May discovers the hideout of another young girl facing abuse, and must make some difficult decisions. The protagonist must decide if she’ll leave her selfimposed isolation to help the girl and face her demons or if she’d rather remain in seclusion and risk letting another victim assume her own fate. “It has always been a long-term goal of mine to write a novel like this,� said Clayton. “I’m glad that I’m able to raise awareness about this subject in this way. If it means challenging people’s comfort-level, then so be it.�

Covington native Melinda Clayton recently published a psychological thriller, Appalachian Justice.

At times classified as a “psychological suspense� novel, Clayton centers the plot around psychologically based subject matter not by happenstance. The author is, at heart, a psychotherapist by trade. Her vast experience working in the field of mental health gives her a unique perspective on human behaviors, and she likes to explore this dynamic in her writing. Clayton has published more than twenty articles and short stories in various print and online magazines and is currently in the dissertation phase of an Ed.D. in special education administration.

Clayton attended Holmes School as a child, but her family moved to the outskirts of Nashville before she began high school.

However, her first post-college job

was in Covington, at what was then known as Tri-County Mental Health Center. “I began there in 1989 as the coordinator over the case management program, working under Dr. Jim Causey, and left there in 1994, after having completed work on a master’s degree in counseling,� she said.

As she attended graduate school at University of Memphis, then known as Memphis State University, she finished out her time with Tri-County in their Ripley office as a psychotherapist.

After receiving her master’s, she and her husband moved to Europe for a brief time and returned to Colorado for several years. She now lives with her husband and two children outside of Orlando, Fla. Keeping family at the heart of things, it seems nothing stands in the way of Clayton as she strives to accomplish her goals as a psychotherapist and a writer. As for now, she looks to the future. “Next, I’d better finish this doctorate I’ve been working on for the last five years. I’m currently in the dissertation stage. And I have a sequel in the works, tentatively titled Return to Crutcher Mountain. My goal is to eventually teach at the college level. And then, who knows? It’s fun not knowing.�

Appalachian Justice is available in e-book form or in print at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble or through the publisher, Vanilla Heart Publishing.

An I-69 design meeting will be held on March 8 for the residents affected by the segment planned for north of Hwy. 59 to Leighs Chapel Road. For more information, please see the legal ad on page A18.

Dunavant attends D.C. conference During the week of Feb. 7-9, 25th Judicial District Attorney General Mike Dunavant attended and participated in the National District Attorneys Association (NDAA) Capitol Conference in Washington, D.C. General Dunavant attended the working legislative conference in our nation’s capitol with other elected District Attorneys General from Tennessee and across the country.

The conference agenda was exclusively interactive, with meetings during the morning of Feb. 7 for informational briefings and question and answer sessions regarding U.S. Department of Justice budget and funding priorities for law enforcement and prosecutors. The conference format also allowed for the participants to schedule meetings with their respective Congressional leaders and delegation during the entire day on Feb. 8.

General Dunavant and other District Attorneys from Tennessee met with the entire Tennessee congressional delegation, including U.S. Senators

Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker, as well as Congressman Stephen Fincher and legislative staff from Congressman Marsha Blackburn’s office. The Tennessee District Attorneys met with their elected leaders to discuss important issues to prosecutors, including: funding for the National Criminal Justice Academy at the University of Utah for the professional training and development of state and local prosecutors; funding for the John R. Justice Prosecutors and Defenders Student Loan Assistance Program; and funding for the Byrne Justice Assistance

Grant (JAG) Program, which provides General Dunavant’s office with resources to operate the 25th Judicial District Drug Task Force, as well as the STOP Grant funded Domestic Violence Prosecutor, through the Tennessee Office of Criminal Justice Programs.

General Dunavant would like to thank all of the members of the Tennessee Congressional delegation for their dedication to public safety and willingness to listen to the concerns of state prosecutors, and looks forward to continuing to work with those elected leaders to accomplish the

common mission to use federal resources to help protect the public in the 25th Judicial District and the State of Tennessee.

Readers' Views

Dear editor, On Feb. 12, a couple of weeks ago, I had the most fortunate blessing of meeting my soul sister. From the moment our faces met and we embraced, I felt an immediate bond. As we talked throughout the afternoon, I found we shared so much more than mere common interests. We shared the same childhood backgrounds, religiously and socially; we shared the same painful experiences and survivor skills. And we share the same trust and faith in our Heavenly Father and Merciful Savior.

Christy Murphy has initiated a ministry for women and young adults, men as well that may have or may be experiencing verbal, emotionally and ultimately physical abuse by their partners or spouses.

This is a ministry I’ve desired to establish for many years and our goal is to educate awareness that love isn’t supposed to hurt or belittle or degrade someone else.

Through positive support and prayer, women, men and children can understand that we are all equally loved by God, unconditionally, and to receive His blessings we must remember and practice the most important of Christ’s commandments – to love one another as He loves us (John 13:34).

Feb. 17 2011 "CAN YOU IDENTIFY THIS CONTRAPTION?" Sue Hubbard of Brighton has a family history in farming. Her father was born in 1895 and farmed all of his life. She and her husband conclude that this machine is a steam engine tractor of some sort from around 1905-1910.

Historian David Gwinn is pretty sure that it is steam-powered, but that it is also meant for laying roadways. This one in particular is getting ready to do so in the streets of Covington, circa 1920.

NASHVILLE – Speaker Emeritus Jimmy Naifeh pledged Thursday to oppose efforts in the legislature to undermine the rights of our teachers across the state.

“Our most precious asset is our children. And, nothing should be more important than those that teach them,” said Naifeh (D-Haywood & Tipton Counties). “Yet, the first initiative of the new Republican majority is to undermine our teachers by attempting to cut back on their pay and benefits.

“This, at a time when teachers are doing more and more in and out of the classroom. We need to support our teachers by

allowing them the ability to have input in their careers, their students and their schools.”

Gov. Bill Haslam said Thursday the current tenure law would be stripped and not available until five years of probationary work by teachers.

The current probationary time is three years, after which a teacher can’t be fired without probable cause. Even after tenure is obtained a teacher is still subject to disciplinary action or dismissal for incompetence, inefficiency, insubordination, neglect of duty or unprofessional conduct.

Another bill, which takes away the rights of teachers to negotiate a contract covering their

salary, benefits, working conditions, school safety, class size, planning time, time to teach, length of the school day, scheduling and other priorities, passed the Senate Education Committee on Wednesday.

“These are just more changes that will make the teaching profession less attractive to our young people,” Naifeh said. “This ‘Education Reform’ is being used as a keyword for tearing down the walls that protect our teachers. These efforts will harm working families. Anything that does this should have no part in ‘reform.’”

Teachers signed off on “Race to the Top” legislation last year impos-

ing stricter standards on themselves. That agreement has been broken in that more standards are being suggested, while Race to the Top guidelines have yet to be implemented, Naifeh said.

“We were hoping to see a jobs package from the Republicans and the administration, but it wasn’t included in the legislative package introduced on Thursday,” Naifeh said.

“I will be working with my colleagues to develop a package to bring more jobs to Tennessee in the coming weeks and that will include preserving quality jobs and rights for our teaches and all working families across the state.”

Sunday School 9:00 am & 10:30 am

A few good men... are you one?

The U. S. Marine Corps had a recruiting slogan several years ago. It went something like this, “We are looking for a few good men.” It implied that not everyone was cut out to be a Marine. Not everyone was tough enough. Not everyone was strong enough mentally and physically. In short not everyone was good enough to be a Marine.

Just like the U. S. Marines the followers of the Lord are sometimes referred to as military warriors. They are told to “fight the good fight of faith” (I Tim. 6:12) They are told to “put on the whole armour of God” (Eph 6:11) The followers of God are in a totally different kind of war than the Marines. Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places However there are many similarities to the Marines and the Lord’s followers. Not every one is cut out to be a follower of the Lord. Just like the Marines, it takes a lot of discipline, a lot of sacrifice and a lot of selfdenial to follow the Lord, a price most are unwilling to pay. The Marines know there are many who could be a good Marine but they are not willing to pay the price.

Similarly with following God, all can follow him but few will pay the price. God sent Christ to save everybody but not everybody will be saved. John 3: 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Note that God loved the “world,” every one, and that “whosoever” can be saved, God is clear that His desire is to save everyone. 2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-

wwsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

The grim reality is that few will be saved despite God’s efforts to save everyone. Mt. 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen. Mat 7:13 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: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

If God wants everyone to be saved, yet few will be saved, wherein lies the problem? The problem is not with God; so it must be with us. Why will most be lost?

Because most of us are not willing to pay the price. Remember the rich young ruler who came to Jesus asking how he might obtain eternal life (Mt. 19:16-30, Luke 18:1830). He was told he lacked only one thing.

Only one thing stood between him and salvation- his riches. He loved them more than God. Luke 18:22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. 23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich. Jesus went on to say it was easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. What will keep us from salvation? Anything we put before (ahead of) God. God said, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” Exodus 20:3 Only a few will be saved because only a few will give up the sin that separates them from God. Isaiah 59:1 Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it can-

not save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: 2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

Only a few will be saved because their faith is high in rhetoric but short on action.

James 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. We need to have a little less talk and a lot more action. Jas 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

Only a few will be saved because they are following their heart and not the Lord.

Sincerity is not enough. Paul admitted this in his persecution of the church. Ac 26:9 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth. Sadly many will not recognize until the judgment day that what they thought was right is not right.

Mt. 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. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

The Lord wants a few good men. Will you be one of them?

Hello from Burlison We celebrated Presidents Day on Monday Feb. 21 and some of us were lucky enough to get the day off, but I wasn’t one of them.

I don’t think that we give much thought to this holiday. It’s not like the 4th of July or thanksgiving. It’s not even on the same level as Valentines Day or Halloween. Maybe it’s because we haven’t had very many presidents since we became a nation. We are only up to number forty four, from 1776-2011, that’s an average

of one every 5.34 years.

There were two presidents with the last name of Harrison and that has always been of interest to me because my mother’s maiden name was Harrison. My interest was peaked even further when I was old enough to realize that my Grandfather’s name had a lot of presidents name’s in it. My Grandfather was born in 1905 and his name was John Herbert McKinley Jackson Harrison. I can’t help but wonder if his parents didn’t named him after some of the presidents. After all there were John Adams, Herbert Hoover, William McKinley, Andrew Jackson and the two Harrison’s, William

Mike and Joyce Goodwin of Nashville visit often with their mother.

Joyce's mother, Margaret Partlow, lives in Drummonds and Mike's mother lives in Millington. Sometimes the Goodwin's daughter, Michelle Harkness, who lives in Tipton County, comes to visit them at Margaret's.

Hi everyone, Well, the warmer weather was wonderful, but I knew it was to good to be true. We have missed our friends, the Parkers, at McDonald's recently, as they gave both been quite ill. Hope you are feeling much better soon!

I purchases some petunias over the weekend at Home Depot. They had a nice selection to choose from. I'll wait now until after this other freezing temperature they are calling for on Thursday night has passed before I plant them. I know petunias are supposed to be able to withstand those temperatures, but I don't want to take any chances. Charlie and I did get some serious raking and burning done. The burning was between us and the pond.

So we felt it would be safe. We also wet the ground behind us in case the wind might have sent it backwards.

Well, all of our grandkids' basketball games are all over now. My little Addie will start her softball games in two weeks. She is five and very much looking forward to it. Our grandsons, Matt and Luke Scott, are playing for the Brighton High School baseball team and our Chase Kidd will be playing Brighton Middle School baseball and football. Our entertainment for spring and summer will be just that. Also our

Elaine Watkins • 476-7093 It's a beautiful Tuesday morning. We haven't seen the sun in days! Loved the warm February weather but it's cooler for a few days now and I expect March to be cooler. But it was a good excuse to start cleaning up the yard and flower beds. Little buttercups blooming already!

I've found out why we've had warmer weather with no snow for two weeks now! Dakotah had a snowman at her workarea at the shop and the day after she finally put him up, it got warm! Also, I was coming back from seeing her and getting a haircut and the sign at Clopton United Methodist Church read: "If you're praying for snow, please stop!" Funny!

Sorry I listed the Young Farmers and Ranchers Equipment Sale at Tennessee Gin as this weekend. It was on the Feb. 19. Again, I'm sorry but I hope anyone who was going knew when it was!

Bonnie Holloway, Richard Rogers and I traveled to Jackson last Thursday for the annual Winter Meeting of the soil conservation districts. We had

Henry Harrison and Benjamin Harrison.

There have been fortythree men sworn into office, and forty-four presidencies, due to the fact that Grover Cleveland served two nonconsecutive terms and is counted chronologically as both the twenty-second and the twenty-fourth president.

Of the individuals elected as president, four died in office of natural causes (William Henry Harrison, Zachary Taylor, Warren G. Harding, and Franklin D. Roosevelt), one resigned (Richard Nixon), and four were assassinated (Abraham Lincoln, James A. Garfield, William McKinley, and John F. Kennedy). The first president

was George Washington, who was inaugurated in 1789 after a unanimous Electoral College vote. William Henry Harrison spent the shortest time in office at 31 days in 1841. At over twelve years, Franklin D. Roosevelt spent the longest time in office, and is the only president to serve more than two terms; he died shortly into his fourth term in 1945. The current president is Barack Obama who assumed the office on Jan. 20, 2009, and is the first president of African-American descent.

And lastly, some presidential firsts: Abraham Lincoln was the first to receive a patent (for a floating drydock); Millard Fillmore was

sprung down there yet. It is 39 degrees now at 10 a.m.

Visitors at Randolph Assembly on Sunday morning, Feb. 13, were Joyce Poole and Geraldine Murphy.

Rev. Norman Crittenden is the pastor of New Salem Methodist Church.

Daniel Dalton is the minister at the Gilt Edge Church of Christ.

Belated birthday greetings to Judy Rogers on Feb. 12. Hope it was the best.

On the prayer list: Glynward Easley, Charlie Womack, Kathryn Glass, Mary

Moore, Jerry Dye, Berry Dillender, Mr. and Mrs. Climer, Mindy Tankersley, Megan Hobock, Hop Gibbins, Dell Ferguson, Odis Poole, Pete and Polly Branch, Donnie, Will and Rita Haislip, Elbert Starnes, Rev. Jimmy Bridges and wife, Donna, Peggy Thompson, Clara McMillin, Zack Wallace in the marines and all the other men and women in the military.

Sympathy to the loved ones of Wilburn Hadley. He passed away recently.

This is all for this week.

little Zack Kidd is playing for a traveling baseball team. He's 10 years old.

We've got them all ages. Thank goodness we have a pretty tight schedule. It helps in trying to stay busy.

Neighborhood Watch meeting Our next meeting will be Thursday, March 3 at 6:30 p.m. Our local constable, Dave Blitzer, will be our speaker.

There will be a quation and answer period of time. We hope you will all try to come. It benefits our community so much. Hope to see you there.

Rev. Charles Todd is the minister. Everyone is always welcome. The Brice Fite Game & Fish Supper will be this Sunday night at 6 p.m. Our speaker will be Rick Davis of “Dream Pursuits.” Happy birthdays this week go to Jill McIntyre, Mack Kidwell, Candice Delancey, Martha Scallions, Betty Wilson, Mary Alice Sterling, Caroline McDaniel and to Blanche Strong.

Sharon Presbyterian Church Worship is at 9 a.m. each Sunday morning. Rev. Charles Todd is our minister. We welcome all members, friends and visitors. Hope you will return. We are always grateful to our Dunlap residents who are able to be with us. There are still many not feeling well. Hope they will get better soon.

at 5:30 p.m. each Sunday night. Bible Study is at 9:30 a.m. and again at 7 p.m. on Wednesday evenings. Brother Mike Rogers is our minister and Brother Jeff Phillips is our associate minister and youth director. We are always so thankful for our many visitors and friends and hope you will return soon.

Please continue to remember brothers Kennth mason and Roy Randolph in your prayers as well as many others.

We are so grateful for little Larry Whaley's successful surgery. Also please remember our youth department, the CYC and all the adults going with them to Gatlinburg this weekend. We pray for their safety and Christian knowledge they will learn. Happy birthdays this week to Chris Whaley, Thelma Brown, and to my old buddy Judy Dunaway. Hope they are each the greatest!

In closing, I hope our upcoming week will get back to those 70-degree temperature. One day last week our temperature gauge in the car was reading 78 degrees. Also please keep my children's father, Jerry Scott of Murfreesboro in your prayers as he is hospitalized with heart problems.

Also, my sister Jackie Hicks who's having serious stomach and high blood pressure problems. This time of year it seems as though so many people are sick.

I hope you all have a great week, everyone.

a good meeting, learned all about ferral hogs (there are some in the Hatchie River bottom) and had ribs and barbeque chicken for lunch. Bonnie and I rode together and we did a little shopping on the way home! Good day.

The boys had a Pig Roast (pork luncheon and meeting on chemical-resistant pigweed!) that day also. So we all had lunch plans.

Liz and Lyla came over yesterday afternoon and we visited the Queen, Catherine McCalla, then we ended up shopping in town, with Clint joining us. Lyla had a big time playing on Mrs. McCalla's wood floor, scooting around. She had really grown since we'd taken her by there Prayers answered - Kenneth Mason's had some more blood tests and was accepted to get on the experimental drugs. Larry Whaley II had a successful surgery but will be hospitalized about seven more weeks, including some rehab time. Roy Randolph continues in the hospital but is in rehab now. Please keep all these in your prayers, along with Shirley and Eric Jones.

Sympathy is extended to Faye Shankle in the death of her sister-in-

law, Virginia Patrick. They have my prayers.

The Birthday Party at Covington Care will be on Feb. 26 at 2:30 p.m.

Happy Birthday this week goes to Chris Whaley on Feb. 21, to Thelma Brown on the Feb. 22 and to Judy Dunaway and Carolyn Murray on Feb. 25!

This Week's Tip: Have buttons lying around, either from old garments or extra ones that come with new garments? Run your post earrings through the holes in the buttons to keep pairs together! Neat! And you're recycling.

This week's Farmer's Almanac Quote: (for those getting ready for June weddings) "In ancient Rome, it was traditional for brides to carry bouquets of garlic and other strong-smelling herbs." Huh! All Byars-Hall Alumni make your plans to attend the big reunion in October! Anyone who attended from 1911-1970! BHHS would have been 100 this year!

the first president to have a stepmother; James K. Polk was the first president to have his swearing-in reported by telegraph; Hoover was the first to have a telephone on his desk; FDR was the first to appear on television; Truman was the first to ride in a submarine; and Jimmy Carter was the first president to be born in a hospital.

We still do not have the roof repairs done on our town hall and can not let anyone use it. The hands

of government move very slow indeed. One of these days we’ll have it all taken care of and then we can turn our attention to others matters like the roads, the park or maybe trying to annex new territory into our city.

TOTAL takes on Nashville

The Total Leadership Program in Tipton County is a joint project of the Covington-Tipton County and South Tipton County Chambers of Commerce. TOTAL (Tipton Organized To Advance Leadership) is designed for both adults and youth and provides a learning experience to help develop community awareness and leadership skills. The program focuses on current issues and concerns facing communities in Tipton County. Program sessions include team building, quality of life, economic development, healthcare, criminal justice, education and government.

Total 2011 announces class project Each year the TOTAL class has a community service project.

TOTAL 2011 has partnered with the Tipton County Literacy Council for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s project.

The project will be an adult spelling bee with all proceeds benefiting the Tipton County Literacy Council.

The event will be held at 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 17 at Dyersburg State in Covington. The TOTAL team is currently in the process of securing teams (sponsors) for the event. There are two levels of sponsorship- the Queen Bee ($150) and the Bumble Bee ($100). The TOTAL group already has four teams committed for the event. The goal is to have 12 teams committed to the event by Monday, February 28. We are also in the process of recruiting prizes for the top three teams in the spelling bee. The TOTAL team feels this is going to be a great community event benefiting a very worthwhile cause.

Eggs-N-Issues Join us for First Friday CoďŹ&#x20AC;ee on March 4 at 8 a.m. for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eggs-NIssuesâ&#x20AC;? with Speaker Emeritus Jimmy Naifeh.

Representative Naifeh will update the community on state issues.

THE LEADER • Thursday, February 24, 2011 • A13

www.covingtonleader.com

‘Connecting You to South Tipton County’ Cooking with Claudia “At the last First Friday Coffee, one of the recipes that were requested was a savory and sweet bruschetta. It was fun watching Kristie Maxwell enjoy the treat as I was describing the flavors and textures she was enjoying with each bite. This is one of those recipes that once you learn the technique, there are unlimited ways to put different ingredients together for a fast, easy and delicious appetizer.”

Thinly slice a baguette, arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Brush with olive oil (for savory bruschetta) or melted butter for sweet. Sprinkle with salt for savory or sugar for sweet. Bake at 350 until lightly golden, about 14 min., turning once after 7 min.

LAYER TWO the second layer to this treat is a cheese layer. I use thinly sliced Fontina, or Havarti or a sweetened mascarpone.

LAYER THREE The final layer is a topping of a special jelly or camel zed onion, orange marmalade or whatever you think would be tasty. I will give several recipes that I have used but the sky is the limit. Bake in a 350 degree oven until the cheese melts, usually about 10 to 12 min.

TO MAKE THE TOAST

SECOND THURSDAY luncheon was held at J.T.’s Burgers and Wings

Students of the Month

SWEET BRUSCHETTA

Mascarpone topped with orange marmalade (do not bake) Fontina slices topped with blueberry preserves, fresh blueberries, and toasted slivered almonds Any of the three cheeses topped with peach preserves and crushed amaretto cookies Balsamic Berry—Toss 1 cup sliced strawberries with sugar and 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar. Mix ½ cup Mascarpone cheese, ¼ cup confectioners’ sugar and a dash of vanilla extract. Spread cheese on toast and top with berries and juice. Do not bake.

SAVORY BRUSCHETTA

Fotina Cheese topped with peach and red pepper jelly Havarti Cheese topped with Vidalia onion and cranberry jelly Either cheese topped with caramelized onion. To caramelize the onions, slice and onion very thin, sauté in butter over very low heat until the onions are tender and brown.

Eggplant Parmesan: Slice 1 Japanese eggplant into ½ inch thick rounds and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast about 12 min at 425. Top the toast rounds with sliced mozzarella, the roasted eggplant and some marinara sauce; sprinkle with parmesan. Bake until the cheese melts.

Note: Be on the lookout for specialty jellies, jams, and preserves often found at craft fairs, specialty shops such as Harry and David’s. I try to keep some kind of jar on hand.

Chargers take third in district tournament

By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader

“Nothing personal, but I’m sick of Covington,” said Dyersburg head coach Blaine Mahaffey with a wry smile following CHS’ come from behind 64-56 win over Mahaffey’s Trojans in the District 13 AA consolation game at Dyersburg on Tuesday night.

It was the second-ranked Chargers third victory over DHS this season. The Chargers now await their next opponent. On Friday night will play at the loser of the District 14 AA championship game between Fayette-Ware and top-ranked Liberty Tech Magnet School of Jackson. That game was played on Wednesday night.

In Tuesday’s consolation, both teams came out with an eye for the paint rather than the outside jumper. CHS was more successful scoring and defensively as they forced 10 Trojan turnovers in the period on the way to a 19-12 first quarter lead.

Dyersburg continued to turn the ball over in the second quarter but picked up its shooting from the floor and the free throw line. Charger woes continued at the stripe as they made only 1 of 6 attempts in the period. Still they maintained a 5-point lead, 31-26, at the break.

Charger turnovers mounted in the third period, which allowed the Trojans to pull ahead by 1 at 40-39 with 2:48 remaining in the quarter.

DHS stretched their lead to its widest margin at 44-41 with 1:48 left on the strength of free throw shooting and the strong play of guard Tavis McPhearson.

Covington closed the gap to 45-43 at the end of the period and set the stage for a comeback.

The final period was all about CHS and Demetres Claybon who had 15 of his team’s points and a game high 27 points in the frame.

Claybon hit two “3s” and a “deuce” from the floor in the quarter but, more importantly was 7/7 from the free throw line in the clutch. Claybon’s first 3-pointer put CHS ahead at 6:45 and the Chargers never trailed again.

The lead had grown to 6 when two sparkling back-to-back defensive plays from Jawan Alston led to 4 points and a 10 point bulge for Covington inside 2 minutes to put the game on ice. The fourth period at the free throw line was the difference.

CHS came into the final period having made only 3 of 9 attempts. They shot 12 for 15 in the last quarter to seal the win and 15/24 (62 percent) for the game while committing only 12 turnovers. The Trojans made 17 of 25 (68 percent) and were forced into 30 turnovers.

In addition to Claybon, Dexter Moore

added 13 points for CHS. Winn Decker led Dyersburg in scoring with 14 points. Tavis McPhearson had 12 and Jamal Fleming pitched in 11.

The win followed the Chargers' victory over Obion County by 52 points at Covington to advance to the district semis.

They just scraped out a win at Obion in January by 12.

The Rebels came into last Wednesday’s District 13 AA semi-final on a roll having won three straight including an impressive win over the third seeded Dyersburg Trojans. It was hard to predict what team would show up. It was the December team.

The Chargers dismantled the Rebels early forcing 11 of their 25 turnovers in the game in the first period while staking themselves to a 16-11 lead en route to a 79-44 mercy rule win.

CHS put the game away in the second quarter outscoring the visitors 27-8 to take a 43-19 lead to the locker room. The lead expanded to as many as 31 in the third period and passed the 35 mark when the clock began to run in the fourth as the Charger speed and quick hands on defense took their toll on Obion.

In addition to the turnovers, the Rebels lost two starters on fouls and did their cause no favors at the stripe connecting on only 7 of 16 attempts (44 percent).

Covington gave the ball up 17 times but 6 of those were in the fourth with the starters off the floor. The Chargers had a better than normal night at the line hitting on 13 of 19 shots for 68 percent.

Obion’s Tanner Noles and CHS’ Dexter Moore shared game scoring honors with 14 points. Bryan Morris added 11 for the Rebels before fouling out. All 15 CHS players saw the court and 13 of them put points on the board.

In addition to Moore, Shelton Lyons and Devin Wakefield each had 12 points and Demetres Claybon 10 for Covington. The Chargers were set to face the Haywood Tomcats in semifinal action on Friday at Dyersburg.

Haywood downed Ripley 68-60 in an earlier quarterfinal game.

Lady Cougars beat Brighton

By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com The Lady Cougars got a little revenge Monday night at Brighton in the District 13-AAA Tournament consolation game.

Munford, which has lost twice to Brighton in the regular season, built an early lead and held on late for a 51-46 win to claim third place.

The Lady Cougars will travel to Craigmont on Friday and take on the Lady Chiefs in the Region 7-AAA quarterfinals. Brighton travels to Arlington.

Munford (15-13) led 25-17 at the half and maintained that lead into the fourth quarter, but Brighton (11-15) made things interesting down the stretch.

The lead was trimmed to one point in the final minute before Munford’s Tamara Moore claimed a rebound off a missed free throw and converted her opportunity at the line to seal the game.

“We battled through three quarters,” said Munford head coach Steve Poindexter. “I don’t know if the kids thought the game was over or what, but we didn’t stay focused toward the end …

We gave them a chance, but we made some plays at the end. I’ll take it.”

The Munford defense focused on Brighton leading scorer Britt Sanford, and the plan was successful. Sanford hit a 3-pointer in the second quarter for her only points of the game.

“We had a pretty good plan for Sanford,” Poindexter said. “It worked pretty well.”

BHS falls to Dyer County

By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com Brighton finished strong Tuesday night at home in the District 13-AAA Tournament title game against Dyer County.

But in the end, a rough first half proved to be too much to overcome as the Choctaws held on down the stretch for a 92-88 win.

“They fought like lions in the fourth quarter,” Brighton head coach Jason Morgan said. “But if there’s one thing we can learn from this game, it’s that you have to play all four quarters.”

Dyer County (27-2) led by as many as 22 points in the second quarter and led 86-71 with 1:35 left in the game.

Brighton sophomore Jonathan Stark hit two 3-pointers in the final

minute and senior Tray Johnson hit another long ball with 21 seconds left to cut Dyer County’s lead to 91-86.

Johnson converted a layup with eight seconds left to trim the lead to four, but the Cardinals could not get any closer.

Back on Feb. 11 Brighton beat Dyer County 90-88, handing the Choctaws their only league loss.

“We just tried to fight hard and bring everything we had,” said Stark, who finshed with 25 points. “I just think we played harder last game. We played all four quarters.”

Brighton senior Ricky Foster had a big game for the Cardinals, hitting four 3-pointers and leading all scorers with 31 points.

Robert Hubbs, John Hudson and Koty Gross

lead the Choctaws with 19 points each and tournament MVP Fred Yarbrough finished with 16.

Dyer County went on a 22-4 in the second quarter to take a 44-22 lead with 1:18 left in the first half. The lead stayed in double digits until Brighton’s surge in the fourth quarter.

“I just wish we would have started a little earlier,” Morgan said. “I would have loved to have another 60 seconds.”

Brighton (22-7) will host Raleigh-Egypt or Arlington on Saturday in the Region 7-AAA Tournament quarterfinals.

On Saturday Brighton defeated Jackson North Side 88-72 in the tournament semifinals.

Sophomore Demetrius Dyson led the Cardinals with 26 points. Stark finished with 20 and Foster added 13.

North Side defeats MHS in consolation game

By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com

Britt Sanford and the Lady Cardinals finished fourth in the District 13-AAA Tournament. Brighton plays at Arlington on Saturday in the region quarterfinals.

Kelsey Briggs led the way for Munford with 16 points and Shayliah Wiggins added 10.

Terice Burrell and Ashia Jones led Brighton with 14 points each and Cassie Sheppard added 11.

Munford fell to Jackson North Side 59-37 on Friday in the tournament semifinals. Briggs led Munford with 17 points.

Brighton lost to Hardin County, the eventual champ, 66-59, in the semifinals.

Jones scored 24 points for Brighton and Sanford added 15.

Munford stayed within striking distance of Jackson North Side throughout most of Tuesday night’s District 13-AAA Tournament consolation game at Brighton High School.

But the Indians went on a 12-1 run midway through the fourth quarter and went on to a 74-50 win to claim third place in the tournament.

Munford will travel to either Craigmont or Cordova on Saturday for a Region 7-AAA Tourna-

ment quarterfinal game.

“We’ve got to develop our skill level,” Munford coach Tim Halford said.

“We tell our guys all the time that their commitment and expectation levels need to match.

The commitment level hasn’t gotten to where it needs to be.”

Sidtavious Mennis scored for Munford with 5:36 left in the game to trim the Indians’ lead to 48-39. But North Side’s Octavin Johnson, who finished with a gamehigh 23 points, sparked the Indians’ late run after that and the lead was 20 points with 3:27 left

in the game.

Terrell Mills led Munford with 14 points and Kendall Walker added 13.

Jarvis Mercer finished with 17 points for North Side.

On Saturday in the tournament semifinals, Munford fell to eventual champ Dyer County, 9048.

Tourney MVP Fred Yarbrough led Dyer County with 25 points and John Hudson added 24.

Reno Ealy led Munford with nine points and Walker finished with eight.

Anglers compete in Bassmasters in New Orleans This week let us turn our attention to the south, especially New Orleans, Louisiana, where they have just finished 2011 Bassmaster Classic.

Kevin VanDam picked up his fourth Bassmaster Classic Win this past Sunday. The pro from Kalamazoo, Michigan finished first in a field of the top 25 best bass anglers on the professional circuit.

But for Aaron Martens, the number four isn’t so tasty. While VanDam’s win tied him with Rick Clunn’s eleven year old record of four Classic trophies. Martens was left withthe runner-up spot for the fourth time. The sting for Martens was the repeat of his secondplace finish to VanDam in the 2005 Classic.

VanDam shook up a stack of Classic records on Sunday. Besides tying Clunn at four, he shattered a five year old Classic weight record when he brought 69 pounds, 11 ounces of Louisiana Delta bass to the scales over

three days of tournament fishing. The previous three day five bass limit mark was 56-2 by Luke Clausen in the 2006 Classic on a Florida bass factory, Lake Tohopekaliga.

Other new milestones for VanDam are a record 20 Bassmaster event wins, and crossing the $5 million line in B.A.S.S. winnings, thanks to the big bump provided by his $500,000 win Sunday in New Orleans. He remains the circuit’s top all time money winner.

He also now shares Clunn’s claim as the only angler to take back to back Classic wins; Clunn did it in 1976 & 1977, VanDam in 2010 & 2011. To top off the superlatives list, VanDam now has twice held the sport’s top two titles concurrently: Classic champ while being the reigning Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year.

Martens, who led on the first day but fell to third on the second day, pulled back up to post a 59-0 total for the second

WILDLIFE CHATTER A RNOLD B ULL

place finish. But after it was all over, he did not mind picking up the winnings for the second spot.

Claiming third place was Derek Remitz of Grant, Alabama, who finished with 56-8 on the strength of his final day catch of 26-5. His big bass of 8-4 was a sample of the prolific spot he shared on the Delta’s Lake Cataouatche with VanDam and Martens, among others.

Matens described the area they shared as a bass factory that he worked mainly with a square billed crankbait and 3/8 ounce Vibe spinnerbait

made by Davis Bait Co. VanDam was using a Strike King KVD 1.5 crankbait, Quantum KVD Tour crankbait rod and 20 pound BassPro Shops brand fluorocarbon line.

Two days of long fog delays did not give most anglers time to demonstrate what they could do on the Louisiana Delta.

The longer third day was a truer indication of their abilities and of the fishery’s health. Boyd Duckett, who finished sixth with 53-2 hauled in 28-13 on the final day.

VanDam had 28-0 on day 3, Remitz had 26-5 and Martens had 25-14.

All in all, a half million pay off for fishing three days, is not considered wasted time, do you think?

America’s highly skilled work force is an issue. Virtually every community is in short supply of skilled workers. From automotive service technicians to health care workers, there aren’t enough to go around.

CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION (CTE) programs help ensure that local communities have the necessary employment pool.

What is Career & Technical Education?

CTE prepares both youth and adults for a wide range of careers and further educational opportunities. These careers may required varying levels of education – including industry-recognized credentials, postsecondary certificates, and two-and four year degrees.

CTE is offered in middle schools, high schools, area career and technical centers, community and technical colleges, and other postsecondary institutions.

CTE is at the forefront of preparing students to be “college-and career ready.”

CTE equips students with: • Core academic skills and the ability to apply those skills to concrete situations in order to function in the workplace and in routine daily activities.

• Employability skills (such as critical thinking and responsibility) that are essential in any career area.

• Job-specific, technical skills related to a specific career pathway.

Technical Education helps students choose from a wide range of careers – from automotive technology and heating, ventilation and air conditioning to nursing and computer technology. Career and Technical education programs are offered in high schools, community colleges, technical colleges and technology centers.
